The first public meeting of this Association was held, in pursuance of the 47th clause of its chatter, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street,at two o'clock on Friday. Among those present were Sir Robert Grosvenor, Lord Morpeth Lord Child Hamilton, Lord Ebrington, Lord Francis Eger ton, Lady F. EL:erton, Sir Ralph Howard, Rev. Sir H. Duken field, Wm. Booth, Esq., Hou. Wm. Cowper, M.P., and otter gentlemen. Sir Ralph HOWARD took took the chair, and called on GREAT LEINSTER and MUNSTER RAILWAY COMPANY. The general half-yearly meeting of this Company Was called for Miley, tit the Lotnon Tavern, at twelve o'clock; but there not ring a sufficient number of shareholders present to constitute a board, it was resolved that the report should be read. with a view to its adoption at a future meeting. The substance of the report was, that the object of the forma ion of the Company was by amalgamation with other cempanies ulti mately to form a large chain f railways. 'I he sum of 25,0001. had been paid up by the shareholders, and the land for eight miles in length had been already purchased, and three miles of it formed. The extent of the rue was twenty• four miles, and the cost would be about 10,0001. a mile. With a view to carry out the principle of the directors, an amalgamation had been effected with the Wexford and Carlow Cotrpeny, also wish the Great Southern and Western Company of Ireland, the undertaking being that the Wexford and Carlow should amalgamate on equal terms, and that the Great Southern and Western Company should advance one-sixth of the ca pital, with the understanding that three of their directors should sit upon the board of the Great Leiaster and Munster Company, which is hereafter to be called the Irish Southern and Eastern Railway Company. The cost of the railway to Kilkenny would be 290,1001., and the extension to Clon mel 300,0001., which would lengthen the line by 32 miles and it would then embrace the towns of Wexford, Kilkenny, New Ross, and Clonmel, so that it was resolved that the capital should be limited to 600,0001. The balance in hand was 11,0261. 6s. After the payment of the prelinituary expenses for land and on the works, there was the further arrangement, that the 1001. shares should be reduced to 201. each, giving to each shareholder five rew shares for one origi nal share. In reply to a SHAREHOLDER, The CHAIRMAN (H. Bambridge, Esq.) stated that three hundred men had been employed upon the works since last November, and that the undertaking would be completed within the twelve months, if the means were provided to carry on the works with vigour, but out of the 6,000 shares Into which the property was di vided, the proprietors of only 3,000 had paid up the second call. After some conversation, the meeting was adjourned pro fo for a week, in compliance with t h e clause of the Act o f P ar liament by which the general me e tin gs of the Company are regu l a t e d, with the rma understanding that it should tben be further adjourned to some other day within a month, and the meeting then dissolved. At this stage of the proceedings a sufficient number of shareholders having arrived the report was read, but before its adoption A SHAREHOLDER wished to know what the next calls wer e In tended to be ? The CHAIRMAN replied that the Act gave power to make calls of lel. a share, but that he believed that they would be 81., but regard would always be paid to the state of the money market. Mr. Collar:co in referring to the original position of the Company, complained that he could get no information either from the Stock Exchange or from the brokers of the Company with respect to the value of the shares. The CHAIRMAN said that the Company had no brokers, for It had never trafficked in shares in any way. Mr. Crstarree had certainly understood that Mr. Beale was engaged in the capacity of broker to the Company. Mr. FIELD entirely denied that he held, or had ever held, such an engagement. 31r. CURLING was not aware of the presence of Mr. Field. He wished tolenew what influence the extension to Clonmel would have upon the shares, and in what way the connexion with the Great Southern and Western Company would aflect them. The CHAIRMAN said that they were to take one-eighth of the shares, and were to ad pt the line of this Company to Kilkenny, instead of their ONTII. The opposition of the Kilkenny and Waterford Company had been withdrawn, and it WA', expected that the 11111 for the extension to Clawnel wepld pass through the Committee of Standing Orders to-day. Mr. CURLING still complained that he could not get any Information respecting the proceedings of the Company. A DIRECTOR assumed that Mr. Culling was referring to the change which had taken place in the position of the Company. The fact was, that after the Bill had been obtained in 1837, some individuals had induced the Government to issue a Commission, with a view to term a truck line throughout Ireland, s project to which the Ministers of that day were very favourable. The directors had several interviews with Lord Morpeth, but were unable to over come the impediment created by this expected Commission, and that was the reason why the Company had been in abeyance. The eaptital had been reduced from 800,0001. to 600,0C1/.. in con sequence of the forfeiture of 5,700 shares by the allot tees; and these forfeited shares had been offered to the original proprietors. When the ground was sought by ether corn paules the Company then became active, and their position was materially improved. The present number of propri e t ors was 396 , a larger number than that of the proprietors 01 a company who re• quired a million and a half of capital. In reply to a Yaorairroa who expressed a doubt of the ability to raise the additional capital. ifble persons within the last alr l e 'h ad e y Cze b d e subscribedatated t l f l o a r t t b h y e r whole l,o n l o the capital of 600,0001. bad four months. Mr. CURLING wished to know whether it would not be better to issue new shares for the line from Kilkenny to Clonmel, and he thought that information ought to be given before the Company was com mitted to the Bill. The Outsmart said that the coercion clauses of their old Act had ceased to operate, and the directors believed that they would not be able to get their Act renewed unless they had gone for the line from Kilkenny to Clonmel. After a very long conversation, the eject of wide!' was to elicit more information than the report at present contained, which was promised by the directors by the next meeting, the report was adopted. Thauks were voted to the Chairman and directors, and the meeting was lhan adjourned to a day, of which notice is to be given by circular as well as advertisement, The SECRETART, who read the report, which, considering the time the association has been in existence, could not be expected to set out much more thaa the general objects of the thunders. It was only in October last year that the association received a charter, in consequence of the approbation bestowed by Sir Robert Peel and Lord Lincoln on its objects, which are, first of all, to provide good, com fortable, well-ventilated and drained dwellings for the indus trious classes. But, in doing so, the promoters Asclaim any intention of making the Institution a charity on the one hand, or on the other. of "setting on foot a money-getting speculation." It is intended that those who invest shall have five per cent. return for their money, and a capital of 25,0001., according to the charter. must be raised, and ten per cent. paid before beginning to build. Sir RAU'It HOWARD, at the conclusion of the report, said it became his duty, as chairman, to set before the meeting the objects of the Association, and he felt great honour in oecupying the chair on that occasion, for he thought the as , ociatien whose interests they w^re met to premite was a noble institution. For money could not be better expended than in providing dwellings better than they at prevnt have for the labouring classes. Those who knew these classes in• titrately knew well that they 'did not receive an amount of comfort and advantage, at all equal to the worth of their money. The builders for the wealthier classes knew this, but believed at the same time that it could not be remedied. That which others left undone in that matter it became the duty of that association to accomp.ish, for they had the power, and they could effect it, af er paying all expenses, with less profit than was proposed. But fur those who would invest their money a sum of interest had been proposed, which would amply remunerate them. He said they had guarded themselves against allowing the institution to be considered as a charity, for if preponderance were to be given to one feature of it over another, they would rather that it should be considered as a mercantile investment association, especially as there was the more probability of greater num bers joining them under that notion. At the same time their main effort wits to be made in improving the dwellings of the labouring men by means of drainege, ventilation, and those other advantages which contributed to comfort, and that effort was to be put forth under the best scientific super. intendence and skill. He concluded by moving that the re port should be adopted and confirmed. Lord MORPETTI said he had been requested to second the motion, and he availed himself with great pleasure of that request. He was aware that those who were met on that occasion were all shareholders, and that they could hardly be supposed to require incitement as to the purposes for which the inAitutkn had been set on foot, and which indeed they had sanctioned by taking shares in the association. The same reason hat limited the company, and he did not think it expected of him, therefore, to occupy their time by making any formal address. But, as that was the first occasion they had had of making the asso ciation public, and as he saw three or four gen tlemen before him who had the means of making their object known, which he trusted they would not withhold, he would, therefore, make a few obseivations. They had embarked in that concern because they wished a real and a practical good.—(Hear, hear.) At the same time they were nut is a position to plume themselves ; they could not boast themselves as better than their neighbours. For though they thought their object laudable, as it wa% yet they looked for retina oration for what they did ; whatever money they might lay out they had stipulated for a return on that of five per cent. Railway speculations had been the rage of the day for some time past ; but he questioned much whether any railway returned greater remuneration than that— five par cent. ; he questioned whether any railway, however prosperous and however well situated, connecti ng large towns in its progress, could compete with the benevolence of their object in reference to those whom it was most intended to serve. For those who were to benefit by railways, those who could afford to be passengers on them, were in easy cir cumstances but those whom they had joined to assist were exposed to the most wretched circumstances, to noisome discomfort, bringieg on disease, and not unfrequently ending in premature death ; but all this they had the means of alleviating, and five per cent. for their money besides. It was no phantom they had taken up, nor was it a romantic fancy; it was not the issue of a merely chivalric feeling. They were not to imagine that it was a money-getting speculation ; he believed it was as free from that, as from being a romantic speculation at creating a charity which had not the means of maintaining its own existence. It had been calculated that the scheme they had begun would return eight, nine, and even ten per cent., but they thought proper to limit themselves to 8 per cent., and to give whatever more might accrue over to the same object. They guarded, on the one hat d, against framing a money-getting speculation, for they would thus have fru-trated their intentions towards the classes whom they sought especially to benefit, and on the other hand, for the sake of setting the example to others who might be induced to follow them, they had guarded against aiming at their object without getting a return for their money. They were against having this understood to be what is usually called charity. He (Lord Alorpeth ) did not un derrate charity, for so long as there were ouch occasions for NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PouTsatount, FRlDAT.—Arrangements are made for em barking, to-moriow,in the Rattler, Comet, and Echo steam vessels, 380 marines from this division, with about seventy detachment., expected by ock, and also for the im rtwn:ei e a a n t mediate froma e n m d b c c a h r b k i l a a d t t r i i e o a n n: ut on boa r d th e S u p er b, , a o f t a lal t e t t lo l a rb oic e l p 80, Captain Corry, at Spithead, which will sail if possible to-morrow evening for Plymouth, there to embark another detachment, and proceed thence to Cork. These men are intended as a relief for the marine corps at present serving in Ireland, which will return to Spitbead in the Superb. Orders were received here on Thursday to fit the Belle rophon, 78, for immediate service. The dockyard riggers were set forthwith to repair her lower and topsail yards. On Friday she was brought from her moorings alongside the jetty, to get her bowsprit in. On Monday the officers and crew of the Rodney, 92, Captain Edward Collier, C. 8., will he turned over to her to fit her with all possible dispatch. She is to be completed as fast as possible to three months' provisions and stores, and taken to Spithead, when the offi cers and crew of the R-dney will give her up to those who will then be appointed to take charge of her, and return to their own ship. Three ships of the line are ordered to be fitted at the three principal ports, Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Sheerness, with all possible dispatch ; it is understood to ascertain the pro bable time it would take to get the whole of the advanced ships ready for sea. The officers and crew of a ship at each port are to be turned over pro. tem, for that purpose, from the execution of which they are not to be diverted on any account whatever. The dockyard riggers mill fit the lower and top-sail yards. and they, together with a gang of labourers, will bring the rigging and other fittings to the ship's side, in order that there may be no loss of time. The Indus, 78, is the vessel to be fitted at Plymouth, and it will be a point of honour with the officers in charge to be the first ready. The Superb, 80, Captain Corry, in pursuance of orders to prepare for sea immediately bent sails yesterday. The Bellerophon, 78, advance ship, was hauled down this morning from among the ordinary alongside the jetty. All her standing rigging, spars, &c., are on the jetty, ready to be put on board. The Wanderer, 14, Commander Somerville, _hauled off from the jetty to her hulk th e D r y a d, y es t er d a y afternoon. She has her topsail yards across. The Sparrow surveying vessel, Commander Otte., left her hulk yesterday, and moored off Blockhouse to complete for sea. its exercise, there would always be a fitness and a moral beauty in its application. At the same time it was their object to put the labouring population in such circum stances as might enable them to help themselves and main tain their independence. It was not their intention or wish to injure the builder, they only wished to hold out an example which he would do well to follow, aml would follow with safety by putting up such buildings as the working man re quires, and has a right to demand. When therefore be had cleared their way of all imputation of intention to undersell the builder, cleared their way of oil risk and all loss, and had secured a return for their capital, he thought be might appeal to those in the meeting, and to those out of it—to the moneyed men out of doors— whether a great good might not thus be done—what an im mense mass of bloated evil might thus be entirely swept awar.—(Hear, bear.) If they examined the reports laid before the Commons' Committees, by the Health of Towns Commission, or, better still, if they had allowed their eyes to rest on the reality, if they bad allowed their feet to wander into the haunts and back purlieus of the metropolis—if they followed blighted manhood, decrepid old ago, and stunted in fancy into their - reeking haunts, the abode of filth and fever—if they would then go over to those in widely different circumstances, whose means enabled them to surround themselves with cleanliness and with comfort, with those advantages, in fact, which, as an association, they could offer to the others, they would pot long hesitate be tween an act of benevolence, with profit to themselves, and laying up their taleet in a napkin. Ile might quote them the saving of the Emperor, that he found his capital built of brick, and left it in marble, and they might outrival him by transferring the worthy and the industrious from garrets and from cellars to abodes conducing to their comfort and their health and their moral and intellectual well-being. His Lordship seconded the motion. WOOLWICH, MARCH 6.—The Devastation steam-vessel, Commander Crouch, has had the following officers and war rant officers appointed to her:—Lieutenant F. Maryat, Lieutenant William Peel, son of Sir Robert Peel, Bart., First Lord of the Treasury ; Mr. H. A. Moriarty, master ; J. Poole, boatswain; William Sllorland, carpenter; G. A. Lance, paymaster and purser; W. Bartlett, acting gunner; and George N. Burt, first engineer. The Phoenix steana.vessel, Commander Dennis, was docked this morning, to have a false keel, to prevent her excessive rolling. The Sphynx steam-vessel was undocked on Wednesday, and taken into the basin. Lord EBRiNQTON moved, and Dr. SOUTHWOOD Sairru se conded, the adoption of the bye-laws which had been read by the Secretary. Lord F. EGERTON, in moving a vote of thanks to the Chairman and the directors, said he could not do so without expressing his entire approbation of the association. He said they were proceeding in various parts of the metropolis in widening the streets and making great improvements, but these advanced with a crowd of attending evils, which proceeded pari passu, like slaves in a Roman triumph, as though they could not do good without producing much evil. He had seen by Mr. Chadwick's pamphlet that the intro duction of the central terminus into the metropolis was cal culated to displace 50,000 inhabitants, and all those of the poorer classes. He did not believe that more instructive volumes could be found from end to end of the shelves of the A marine belonging to the detachment set apart for the Terrible steam-frigate was drowned yesterday evening, hay ing fallen into the river from the hulk where the seamen and marines of the Terrible are accommodated, opposite the Wool wich Dockyard. CHATITA3I, MARCH 6.—The Gloucester, 50 guns, which was taken into deck on the 28th ult., to have her defects ma3e good, and to be fitted for sea, has bad the whole of her copper on her bottom stripped off, and she is to be newly coppered. 1 he Raleigh, 50 guns, Captain Sir T. Herbert, K.C.8., is in dock, fitting for sea. A number of artificers arc on board busily engaged fitting officers' cabins, &c. The several officers and crew belonging to this chip are at present stationed on board the Hussar hulk. She is expected to be completed next month, library of the House of Commons than the five or six volumes of reports alluded to. He had consulted these and other volumes published by Mr. Chadwick, and he could not but heartily concur in the object which had brought them together. Mr. COOPER seconded the motion, which was carried una nimously. Lord CLAUDE HAMILTON acknowledged, on the part of the director., their sense of the honour the meeting had done them, and their continued attachment to the object of the assnciation. The Majestic, 80 guns, building, has hands again put on :o get up the remainder of her frame timbers. Mr. Sliyney, Mr. Finlaison, and Nfr. Soynbee severally a•idressed the meeting, which then separated.

On Friday a strong detachment of the Royal Marines from this divi sion, consisting of 8 sergeants, 8 corporals, 6 drummers, and 230 pri vates, under the command of two captains, Captain Finmore and Captain George Griffin, with First Lieutenant Charles F. Menzies and First Lieutenant P. H. Fellows, marched from their head-quar ters en route for Woolwich, where they are to form a battalion with a detachment at that place, and to place themselves under orders of the Commandant Colonel T. A. Parke, and from thence to proceed, by steam-vessel, to Cork, to relieve a battalion there under Captain Robert Wright and Captain George Logan, which is to return to this UNITED SERVICE INSTITUTION. The fifteenth annual meeting of this Associa►ion was held on Saturday, at the institution, Whitehall, at two. It was expected that Lord Ellenborough would have preside d, but as the hour for commencing the proceed ings had passed, and his Lordship not having arrived, Major SHADWELL CLERK said that Lord - Ellen• borough had been compelled to go to Woolwich that mornirg, and had not yet returned, but he hoped he would before the proceedings had terminated. In the meantime he would move that Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Malcolm should take the chair. The motion was agreed to, and The SECRETARY proceeded to read the minutes of the last meeting, and the fifteenth annual report of the Council, which stated that the Council, in sub mitting to the meeting their fifteenth annual report, are enabled to announce the completion of the exten sive additions and improvements undertaken last year. The Council congratulate the members on the nearer approach to the complete fulfilment of the objects of the associati....n, and they feel justified in exprnsing their conviction that the institution will not suffer by compa rison with the best of its class in the British empire, while it possesses features of interest peculiarly its own. The Council are much gratified in stating that, not withstanding the necessity of closing the institution hile the works were in progress, the aggregate number of visitors is but little short of that in the pre ceding year ; thereby showing the increased inte rest taken in the institution. In the course of the year the Council have caused 1,500/. Three and a Quarter per Cents. stock to be sold, and have applied this sum, together with a portion of the life subscriptions received during the same period, to the cost of the repairs. altera tions, and fittings of the building, library, and collection, and to legal expenses. The funded property of the Insti tution row consists of 1,5001. Three and a Quarter per Cents., besides 3451. 3s. 10d. Consols, being money sub scribed towards the erection of a lecture theatre. The income for the ensuing year may be estimated at Annual subscriptions Rent of house Interest on 1,500/ 47 0 0 £1,462 4 0 This estimate did not include the sums to be received as life subscriptions. The total amount of life subscrip tions received since the foundation of the institution is 5,5441., of which sum about 4,0001 has been recently laid out in the purchase and alteration of the new premises. The Council regret that the large outlay of the past year for general purposes has compelled them to limit the amount expended on the library to the sum of 1271., but they will not fail to apply a larger proportion of income to that branch as their means improve. The Council cannot refrain from adverting to the intrinsic value of the library. The collection now comprises 8,100 volumes, including the best works of reference upon almost every subject. Since the last report ac ceptable additions have been made to the museum in its various branches, including Chinese objects. Lectures were delivered at the institution during the season of 1845, and were well attended, although the want of prrp-r accommodation was much felt. At the last general meeting it was resolved that the secretary be directed to open a book to receive subscriptions tcwarch the building of a lecture theatre, and other required im provements. There have been received on this account 341/. The subscription continuing open, it is hoped that additions will still be made to the above amount ; a lecture theatre only being wanted to enhance the capabilities of the institution. In pursuance of the resolution passed at a special general meeting held in July, 1845, a clause has been added to the laws, section 4, requiring the payment of an entrance fee of one pound by all members join ing after the Ist of January, 1847. The eight members of Council who retire by rotation, are—Lieutenant- Col. W. H. Cornwall, Colds. Gds. ; Edward Jekyll, Esq., late Capt. Gr. Gds.; Lieut. Henry Raper, R.N., F.R.A S.; Captain G. Parlby, H.P., late 4th Dragoons; Captain Percy Grace, R.N.; Sir Charles F. Forbes, M.D., K.C.H., &c.; Captain M. H. Sweny, R.N.; Major-General H. G. A. Taylor, C. 8., Madras Army. Then followed an abstract of the accounts, and a list of the subscribers to the lecture theatre. The adoption of the above report having been moved by Captain LLOYD, R.N., and seconded by Lieutenant isTiosioLsosr, it was unanimously adopted. The SECRETARY, in answer to a question from a member, said that the institution was free from the pay ment of rates and income-tax. He then read an alter ation proposed to be made in the rules, to the effect that the rooms should be open daily for visitors, but the li brary for members only, who would have access to it throughout the whole year until 10 o'clock at night. This having been agreed to, the next subject brought under discussion was a motion proposed by Captain W. F. WATKINS, of the Bombay Artillery, to the effect that the widow of their late porter, John Wilson, who had died while in their service, should be put on pension. The Gallant Captain went on to say that the widows of private soldiers did not receive any allowance from the Government. He thought that the Hon. Members of the institution would be glad to have the opportu• pity afforded them of assisting the widow of their ser vant, and called upon his Gallant Friend, Captain Grover, to second his resolution. Captain GROVER said he would decline to second the resolution, as he bad been one of the members of the Council appointed to inquire into the circumstances. Captain l'striporrs then seconded the resolution. Major CLARK said, that it appeared that there bad been some neglect in this case, as the housekeeper had considered that the deceased, while in a fit of apoplexy, was tipsy, but so soon as the mistake was discovered ,-very assistance was given to the unfortunate man. A Council had been summoned, in which the case was gone into, but they did not think they would have been justified in expending the money of the institution for any other purpose than that for which it had been sub scribed by Hon. Members; and to show that the Council had done all in their power in the present case, he would call upon the Secretary to read the minutes of the Council assembled upon that occasion. The SECRETARY having read the minutes, Major CLARK stated that, in addition to the trans actions there recorded, the Council had paid to the widow of the deceased the sum of five pounds towards the expenses of the funeral. The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution. An HON. MEMBER inquired what was the number of the family of the deceased ? Capt. WATKINS stated that there was a large family, but that they were all provided for. Colonel Fox moved as an amendment that inquiry be made into the pecuniary circumstances of the widow, and that a bot.:; he opened in the hall for the purpose of receiving the names 1:::0 amounts of those members who would subscribe towards the relief of the widow. Colonel HOLDSWORTH seconded She resolution. The CHAIRMAN, having put the original resolution which was negatived, then put the amendment of Col. Fox, which was carried unanimously. Col. Fox then proposed that the management of this snbscription should be left in the hands of the Council. Captain GROVER seconded the resolution, which was also unanimously agreed to. The following members were then elected to supply the vacancies in the Council : Lieut. H. Raper, R.N., F.R.A.S., Capt. M. H. Sweny, R.N., Major-General IL G. A. Taylor, C. 8., Major-General W. D. Cleiland, H.E.1.C.5., Col. Henry Godwin, C. 8., Lieut.-Colonel Robert Barnewell, H.E.1.C.5., Lieut. Col. E. Sabine, R.A., Major-General T. Kenab, C.B. Maj or CLARK then stated, that with similar feelings, though with not quite so much of the imperial mode of expression with which the hero surveyed his Auritectica. or golden house, so might the honourable members of the institution now look upon the building in which they were assembled. They would, however, obi erre a vacuum as they came up the stairs ; and as nature abhor red a vacuum, so it was to be supposed that Hon. Members would express their abhorrence of a vacuum in' this institution, by placing their names with a certain figure or figures placed opposite in the book, which was opened fur the purpose of receiving sub scriptions towards building the new lecture hall. Hsuggest that those favourable to th pleased.

He was satisfied, however, that nothing but the important duties which he bad been called upon to discharge would have kept him away. The Chairman having left the chair, and Colonel tensions t t hey 1 11 Ca d irw Holdsworth, one of the oldest members of the insti tution present, having been voted into it, Major CLARK proposed that the thanks of the meet ing should be given to Sir Charles Malcolm for his valuable services on that occasion. He was a practical illustration of the memorable remark of Sydney Smith with respect to Lord John Russell, that he would take the command of the English fleet if it were offered to him, for Sir Charles consented to take the chair imme diately on being informed of the unavoidable absence of Lord Ellenborough.—(Hear, hear.) The motion was seconded by Sir BENJAMIN Sivirru, and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN briefly returned thanks, and the meeting broke up.

(From the Tapes of Saturday.) It will probably be a surprise to all parties to hear that last night's side:; of the Hasse Of Commons, which began with the promise of endless diteiens and delays; and might have been one of twenty, all equally inisepeht, eentlistled both quietly end speedily with the adop t:en of the Ministerial resolutions. 'That first and most important • part of the tariff which relates to corn end &tit passed without a divis:on. The various amendments which yesterday bade fair to diversify the discussion have been one after another withdrawn, and really there is now almost room to congratulate the country, and part•cularly the agricultural party in the Commons, ou a cheerful surrender of the question. Of course, there will be various opportu nities of speaking and dividing the Horse in the progress of the Bill which will be founded on these,reeolutions ; but, as the protectionist party have not attempted to qualify the measure, or introduce any substitute of their own, it may be presumed th t they will not think it necessary to do snore than record their votes on the general prin ciple of the change. We are inclined to hope that we have not hitherto done justice to the negative tactics of the Opposition. We construed them rather as indicating a want of inge nuity, and even of feeling ; as if either the importance of the crisis had not been perceived, or it had been found impossible to suggest a remedy which should not approximate too near to the Ministerial measure. Undoubtedly, an, opposition mast be feeble which was based me blindness or indiffer ence to the peculiar exigencies of the time. Undoubtedly, a'se, it would run some risk of being considered frivolous and vexatious if it admitted' th, t something ought to be done, !ant contented itself with objecting to the only remedy actually proposed. The more genial results of Iss; night seem to show that the protectionists have merely been satisfying the moral claims of consistency, and the ab• street merits of their cause. It was really what was called " the flag of' protection." It WAS only " true blue." The three weeks' debate was a three weeks' mourning for the departed object of their regards. That ended, they have no wish to distress the survivors with any further and more obtrusive memorials of what is now us more. Such an opposition assumes the modesty and decorum of a protest, which virtually acquiesces in a great change of policy with out thinking it necessary to pronounce against the principles of the departing system. Last night was the chance, the last chance, of urging the merits of a fixed duty. There was a double promise of a last debate on this point. Mr. W. O. Stanley proposed the fixed Cuty of ss. a quarter on wheat, and Mr. M. Milnea a perpetuation of the three years' scale in the Ministerial measure. But, seeing that the battle was against them, both consented to withdraw their mea sures. It is difficult, we will not say impossible, to suppose that this means of compromise of a moderate fixed duty will be ever revived. We have seen its last. Yet we cannot forbear from pausing to con sider its singular destiny. Never was there a proposition so reason able, so modest, yet so unfortunate. Fate was always against it. It was always too liberal for protectionists, too close for free-traders. Whenever it was brought before the Legislature it was at a crisis when the very - stars fought against it. The Whigs caught at it when they were drowning, and dragged it along with them to the bottom. 11l fares the stalking horse of a fallen party. Its undoubted merits were of no avail. Sir Robert was ever precluded from because it was a Whig measure. It has been the work of half his life to avoid it. The Whigs had charmed it for their own special use, and woe to the uninitiated hand that might dare to grasp the weapon, though it lay on the public road, and courted the eye and hand of the passenger. Its evil fate has pursued It to the last. lhe last resource of the Whigs has now done the same duty for a section of the protectionists. Again, in the midst of a great collision, when a minority is rapidly yielding to an over powering coalition—when an ancient and respectable party finds itself outnumbered, outflanked, pushed in the front, and threatened in the rear, and has no resource but to give way, then, then again, too late common sense comes uppermost with them, and we hear of a fixed duty. Its very name, however, by this time is the omen of defeat. It has become rather, a conventional demand for mercy than an actual proposition of terms. Yet this is the misfortune, not the fault, of the plan. A fatality, it would seem, haunts measures as sometimes men, and sometimes even nations. Reason pleads in vain against fate. The very fact that the many recommendations of a moderate fixed duty have not availed to pro cure for it a favourable hearing, seems to prove that it is now irrevocably doomed to rejection. We cannot, of course, anticipate an entire cessation of hostilities. Though the army seems prepared to accept a defeat, yet the skirmishers will have their amusement. Resisters, last night, purchased their substantial success at the price of some not 'very serious molestation. Sir Robert, who for so many years has been endeavouring to adjust the price of corn, cannot easily re sign his prophetic pretensions. The dupes of his craft still flock round him, and demand a vaticination of the exact price of corn from this year to the end of the world under an open trade. In vain does he profess himself to be no more than man. In vain is the oracle silent. All the more is he urged to say something or other which shall fill that horrid vacuity of doubt which yawns in the protectionist intellect. Some distinct augury, some figure—say ,—say 495., say 45a.,—say anything, will do. It will be something to look at, something for the mind to repose on, something to worship. It will be giving form and circumstance to hope, which cannot realise its objects, unless they have sense dell. nite outline. Monday promises a renewal of these lesser fights. On that day a great question is to be discussed. Wheat, barley, oats, and rye are given up, and Mr. Miles takes his stand on buckwheat, maize, and rice, which have been taken from their alphabetical places in the tariff for an early and separate discussion. Mr. Miles — we readily excuse the instincts of offended dignity—wishes tc retreat with gravity and deliberation. He will not be hurried off his legs. lie will pause before he consents to Indian corn being introduced at a 'lamina' duty. We beg to suggest a reason for delay. The experi ment has yet to' be tried. Will anybody in these islands eat it? If they will not cat it, Mr. Miles will not object to so harmless an im portation. If they will cat it, and relish it, then let the plan of the protectionist be dilly considered. Meanwhile, Mr. Miles has no objection to a small Bill permitting the importation, duty free, into Ireland. It is scsrccly necessary to explain how this would operate. The Greek "Joe Miller" supplies us wills an illustration. A certain slave was once charged with the care of a vessel of wine. He tapped it at the bot tom, and abstracted a portion of its contents. By-and-by his master observed that the surface had fallen, and charged him with the theft. He denied it with great simplicity, on the ground that what he had taken was from the bottom, and what his master missed was from the top. We should imagine that, if we introduce 100,0001. worth of maize into British consumption, it does not much matter in what part of these islands it is. It may be forced in at the bottom, but it will nevertheless tell at the top. However, we do not expect that Mr. Miles will do more than look at the resolution relating to these articles, and then let it quietly pass. The two former we believe to be especially for the benefit of the agriculturist. HEAVY GALE OF WIND AN MELANCHOLY CASUALTIES IN EDIN BURGH. (From the Caledonian Mercury of Thursday.) In the course of yesterday morning this city was visit ed by a gale of w i n d f rom t h e sout h- west, surpass i ng i n violence any which has been experienced here for many a day, and, we are sorry to add, attended not only with some destruction to property, but also in one case with loss of life. The heaviest casualty took place in a house No. 16, Hope street, the residence of Captain Christie, R.N., whesse famil‘ generally h a d l e f t f or London only , the day before A chimney stalk on the back part of the house fell about eight o'clock in the morning upon the roof, which it penetrated, and carried down to the area floor part of the attic and three other floors. Stewart Robertson, servant to Captain Christie, who it appears had been left in charge a the house, was either killed or suffocated by the falling ruins, his bedy being only got out about mid day. A very extraordinary, we might, almost say miraculou3 escape was made here. Catherine Morrison, servant in a family which occupied the upper and attic stonier, was carried down by the debris through the three floors. and was taken out with some severe bruises, none of them, however, conceived to be dangerous. She was conveyed to the Royal Infirmary. In George-street, a man named Robert Dick, servant to Mr. Mathew. on, :19„ was blown off his feet, and falling on the back of hie head, was severely hurt. In the High-street, a woman named Rough, or Wilkie, was struck down by some chimney cans falling upon her, and had a kg and arm broken. A large sign at the head of Carrubber's-close. High- street, 30 inches in length and four in depth, Welt; blown from the wall, fortunately without hurt to any one; and at Leopold-place, the greater part of the balustrades on the tops of the houses, from Elm-row to Windsor -street, were blown down; but from tite quarter which the wind blew, they fell inwards and rested cat: the roof. The whole of our streets were strewed in the morning with broken cans, tiles, &c., brought down from the roofs. and in the country stacks were blown down in farm-yards, and trees in various exposed situations. Only one boat was enabled to cross from Burntisland to Granton, in the course of the morning and forenoon. About ten o'clock, during the heaviest of the gale, the ferry boat f.em Granton, having the Defiance coach on board, made the point of Burntisland Pier ; but, another steamer lying there at the time, she could not be got in, and was obliged to back out :wain ' when she got away over about Inchkeith. b u t not being able to remain there, she was compelled to wear and run down for shelter below King horn. However, by two or three o'clock the wind fell, and the boats resumed their ordinary course. It would appear that the storm was as severely felt in the west as here, and that in Glasgow it was also attended with loss of life. For the following particulars we are indebted to the Editor of the Glasgow Chronicle ; " Early this morning we were viii ed with a tremen dous hurricane of wind, such as has not occurred here for a long period, by which numerous accidents were oc casional, and several lives lost. The gale raged with its greatest fierceness between six and ten o'clock, and in that time the streets, particularly in the suburbs, were . strewed with broken chimney cans, slates, and other net!, siles from the house-tops. The most serious accident in connexion with the storm that has come to our knowledge is that of the blowing down of a house (about nine o'clock) in the printworks of Messrs. 11. Monteith & Co. at Barrowfield, by which two girls were killed on the spot, and five others so much injured, that they are not expected to sur vive. Such was the force of the wind at one time, that the driver of a city omnibus was blown off his seat while his vehicle was passing through Great Hamilton-street, by which he was violently thrown to the ground. In the fall, the wheels passed over his legs, and the poor man was severely injured. The roof of a house in Great Hamilton-street was blown in about the same time, but we have not heard if any persons were in it when the accident occurred. The entire stone chimney of a house in Gallowgate was blown down, but no one was hurt. A man about 80 years of age was thrown to the ground near Charlotte -street, by the force of the wind, and was so much bruised that he had to be carried home ; while in Jamaica-street an aged female was knocked over, and had one of her shoulders dislocated and her thigh bone broken. The gable of a new house in Garnet Hill was blown down, but no person was injured. In several houses in the same locality,' the whole of the windows fronting the street were blown in, and a number of the tenants, through fear, left their houses. Two or three houses in that part of the town have been unroofed. A chimney stalk fell through the roof of a house in Anderston, the inmates of which bad a narrow escape. Several trees were torn up by the roots in the Green, and in the neighbourhood a fourteen inch wall and ' gate were blown down. These and other casualties of a similar nature all occurred about the same time. At the hour we went to cr ess a considerable quantity of rain had fallen, w hi c h so mewhat helped to allay the force of the hurricane, w hi c h i s n o w -pearly abated. From all pa r t s of the country we learn the: the storm had raged with fearful violeuee, in many cases W!erly blocking up the turnpike reads with uprooted trees, hedges, &c. The gale was from the south-west. IRELAND. MAYO ELECTION-COLLISION BETWEEN THE MILI TARY AND THE POPULACE-SEVERAL KILLED AND WOUNDED. Do max, MARCH s.—Most afflicting intelligence has reached town from Mayo, of a collision between the military and the peasantry on Tuesday last, in which some of the latter were killed and several wounded. The military, under the command of Mr. Cruise, a stn pendiary magistrate, 'fere escorting some electors, on the estate of the Marquis of Sligo, from Westport to Castlebar, when the deplor able affray occurred.; Subjoined are all the accounts that have as yet been received. In some it is stated that the collision tool: place within a mile of Castlebar ; but there is one letter which states, and we believe correctly, that it occurred seven miles from Castlebar, and within one mile el Westport. The Galway Vindicator gives the following version from a corre spondent:— " NOLAN'S HOTEL, GALWAY, WEDNESDAY, HAW-PAST 11 ♦.lt.—l have just come from Castlebar—M'Donnell 36 a-head—it was thought Moore would give up last night. At eleven o'clock yester day morning a party of the Bth Hussars were escorting a number of freeholders of Moore's to the hustings, when at a mile from Castle bar, a number of the peasantry, from behind a wall, pelted them with *tones, for the purpose of rescuing the freeholders. Mr. Cruise, the stipendiary magistrate, ordered the military to fire, when a woman,hav ing a family of fire children, a fine young man, thirty years of age, and another man, were shot dead, and three mortally wounded. The greatest excitement prevails." The Dublin Evening Post of this afternoon contains the following : "Letters have been received in town from Castlebar, dated yes terday morning, which contai❑ some particulars of the lamentable affray. One account states that the Riot Act had been read by Mr. Cruise, the stipendiary magistrate, but that the populace did not dis perse, and, it is asserted, stones were thrown, after which the mili tary were ordered to fire. It is stated in arse letter that two persons were killed, and three mortally wounded ; in another, that seven were killed. All the accounts agree that Mr. M'Donnell, the repeal candidate, was at the head of the poll on Tuesday evening —the ma jority being variously reported at 36 and 26. In consequence of the great excitement, it was difficult to obtain any accurate return el the polling. We subjoin one letter:— " Castlebar, Wednesday Morning. ' A party of electors, tenants of tt.e Marqu*s of Sligo, escorted by , under the command of D. J. Cruise, Esq., R.M., were attacked within a mile et** Westport by a great number of the pea sants, Mr. Cruise read the Riot Act, wh'ch had not the effect of dispersing them. Stones continued to be thrown. The military fired, killing three, and wounding seven, some of them, it is feared, mortally.' " Dalin Esening Post Office, Three o'clock. " We have just received the following communication : " Castlebar, Wednesday, One o'Clock, P.M. " The state of the poll yesterday evening was as follows : Nl'Donnell 185 Moore 162 Majority for Di'Donnell - - - —23 " Three persons were lcfled on the spot yesterday ; but the re ports are most conflicting as to the number wounded. It Is asserted that thirty or forty have been wounded, some mortally. *" 11;o town Is in a state of awful excitement.' " TIIE COUNTY LIMERICK. . . The Limerick Chronicle of yesterday gives some addltioxal particu lars relative to the firing at. Sir David Roche. Sir David was in his carriage, accompanied by Mr. James Lyons, D.L., and another of the grand jury, when the chits were tired at him. The balls missed their object, and Sir David drove in eafety to Patrick's Well, where the outrage was reported. The police went in search of the assas sins, but found no trace of them. Sir David Roche was the popular Member for Limerick, and is a repealer. On Monday night, John Westley, steward Is George Fosbury, Esq., was walking the avenue of Curragh-bridge, when a party of ten ruffians fired a shot at him, after which they apologised, and said, that it was intended for his young master, whom they thought they would have met near the gate. Tile shot passed close to his head but the poor man gladly admitted their excuse. Several other Rockite doings, all of the most daring and flagitious character, are reported, The following letter from Mr. Arnbin, having reference to the aw ful offence with which he has been charged, was read at a meeting el the corporation held yesterday : " TO THE EIGHT HON.

The principal vocal parts were sus tained by Miss Birch, Miss Dolby, Mr. Hobbs, and Mr. Phillips, as sisted t‘v a powerful and efficient chorus. Tne ifount of Olives (from which Engedi has been adapted) was the 85th work of Beethoven's, and was composed form ance took place in 1803, but it dens not appear it re performed at the been in England till 1914, when selectioes from in I t tOo h . ave The first !: 1 7 s - Theatre January 30 and rf a o t rm p e a ru o rY n u -i r e an , e ;t Liverp•Ol in 1823, and Philharmonic Concerts. 1815 ; it was subseq Pe last ht's performance, is the adaptation selected for the a ll is beyond doubt rs on t e w of tlofeethovegn's greatest cempositions.

The " Lobgesang" was written phonic wafteasr hdtichniorafbollylopewerdfortmheed. Hymn of Praise for a festival in honour of Gutemberg, the inventor of printing, and was performed at Leipsic for the first time on the 24th of Jane, 1840, and in England, at the Birmingham Musical Festival, in September, 1840. This hymn cannot be said to belong to any distinct class al' com position ; it has neither the dramatic quality of an oratorio, no." the exclusively vocal character of a cantata ; it is properly designat ed a symphonic cantata. Mendelssohn terms it a symphony for the orchestra and voices ; it is throughout a grand and elaborate work. We noticed the duet in E fiat, " I waited for the Lord," by Miss Birch and Miss Dolby, as exceedingly beautiful, the effect being greatly augmented by the pianissimo of the chorus ; also the tenor solo by Mr. ITobbs, " The Sorrows of Death," full of plaintive ex- ' pression. The chorale, " Let all Men praise the Lord," and the chorus, " The Night is Departing," were admirably given. The con cluding chorus, " Ye Nations offer to the Lord," from its fugual character and powerful effect, gave universal satisfaction. It may be as well to remark that the audience was not quite so ' numerous as on many format' occasions ; it would seem that the public were determined to resist the introduction of any musical pro ductions save those of Handel, and that the Messiah, and a few other favourites, were the only composition worth heaving. It is much to be regretted that the public will not, or do not, fidly appreciate the exertions of a Society, which has solely for its object the introduc tion of meritorious works, and the encouragement of musical talent in this country ; for it is an extraordinary fact that, whenever they have introduced any novelties in music, although supported by first rate talent, they have invariably been losers in their undertaking. This should not be ; and we trust the musical world will not allow a society like this to be foiled in their meritorious efforts. The baud was led by Mr. Perry, the well-known composer, and conducted by the indefatigable Mr. Surman, who, et the close of the first part, announced a performance of cathedral music for the 20th of this mouth. The Lortls Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury having been pleased IT their order to approve of the port of Wells' being reduced to the posiik'n Of a creek and annexed to the port or Clay, and of a principal coast ofneer, searcher, landing waiter, and tide surveyor, being stationed at Wells, with authority to receive masters' reports of ships inwards and duties, and also to clear vessels outward bound to foreign parts, the Commissioners of the Custom* have issued directions, which have been COMlnunlcated to the prin cipal officers of the revenue at the various ports throughout the king dom to the effect that the reduction of the port of Wells is to take place from awl after the sth day of April next. There tiro reasons to fear an epidemic of a strange and malignant character has attacked the flocks of several farmers in the neighbourhood of Hardwick.

The division on the 27th corresponds pretty closely with our calculations. In our paper of the 14th we rated the Liberals at about 260, and Sir Robert Peel's followers at 110. The latter were 117, and the Whigs and Rad!cals 229, to which the absent 28 and the tellers being added, make up 259, one short of our calculation. Sixteen were absent from the Ministerial party, so , that they may be rated at 135, all told. The triumphant majority of 97 has figured in very large types through the country, but the fruits of the victory are not yet apparent. It is like our triumphs on the Sutlej, with Seikhs, yet in force and unbroken spirit. As yet we see no signs of yielding ; and though it is most satisfactorily demonstrated to the protectionists that further opposition is quite useless, they appear nevertheless obstinately resolved to kick against the pricks. While there is life for the corn-law there is hope for these gentlemen. They have possession of the jaw, and they will keep it to the last moment. The longer they protract the struggle the longer they enjoy the profit of the monopoly. For the costs to the agitated country. to commerce, and the tenant-farmers, uncertain of anything but rent day, they care not a fig. The minority may not hold together; some will be sure to drop off upon excuses easily to be found, but a faction of 200 is very formidable in obstruction, and when they are at last worn out comes the battle with the Lords, the expectation of whose pliability seems not to strengthen upon closer scrutiny. What the Lords are likely to do no one can tell, probably for this simple reason, that the Lords do not yet know themselves.—. Examiner.

The notoriously great increase of late in the business of the Lank of leneintel, arising from the advance in the rate of in terest, the use of the railway deposits, and other causes, appears to have created an expectation 1 11 the proprietors of Bank stock, that from various correspondents awtiltthaeliadiTtl.itel i a it c;h t: l l l ,,, ,g tei ih t: e c ay t meeting fur positiont.ltrt e i (ie L e its i i: s au r ul a in t e ol o o i l it t h e fact of a groat toh r e a lt, d s i t V o id e e c V sio t i h t they on the suluee , fit as certain, that the only que.tion remaining In increase of pro the kind. Letters have been received theirthe is bonus whet or her It shall reach the proprietors IV a higher dividend. It is well known that the fund out of which the dividend is paid is the " rest," which forms a regular part of each weekly return under sha m pe in' o is f a the Act of 1841. Formerly the practice was at the half-yearly meeting to make an estimate of its probable increase between the de• claratlon and the payment of the dividend, and to take credit for such amount ; but the rule now adopted is, we believe, an far as re eerie uncertain profit, to take the last return of the month previous to the declaration of a dividend as the basis of profit, adding or course the certain profits to accrue from the dead weight and other dividends payable by the Government up to the expiration of the financial half--year. This alone is some evidence of a sound state of affairs. That partiee so directly interested as the proprietors are should be thus sanguine is very natural. but itont Inquiries in other quarters it appears to be thought very doubt ful if either of these expectations--that Is, of a bonus, or increased dividend-1011 be realised. The new system has undergone as yet but a short trial, and the recent great profits, so far as they arise front the railway deposits, are so decidedly of a temporary nature, that no safe conclusion for the future course of business is to be drawn from them. In the proportion in which the directors have extended their loan and discount business must the risk of bad debts 'be taken into account; but, supposing everything to go on favourably, the directors would be more popular perhaps with their corstituents if they de voted their efforts to strengthening their position so as to lead hereafter to a permanent increase of the dividend to per cent., than by giving a small bonus, and then to relapse to the old rate. Equality of dividend is very much to be desired, as it prevents speculation in the stock, and gives to it some thing of the character of a Government security. The present board of directors possess a character for prudence and sagacity beyond some of their predecessors, which they are not likely to place at hazard by doing this half-year what they must undo the next; and to offer either a bonus or an increase of dividend at present would expose them to that danger. Hence the proprietors will do well to moderate their expectationeof immediate benefit, without abandon ing, at the same time, the hope that the directors at some future period may be able. to place them permanently in a better position. Considering to how low a point banking profits have been reduced until within the last three months, it is a species of congratulation to know that they are in no danger of a reduction of dividend, and. If any change does occur, that it must be for the better.—Tinfes.
