" THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 27, 1846. tion was, however, qualified by a statement, that although such a result had been obtained, under particular cir cumstances, and had elsewhere been used as the basis of an argument in the examination into the merits of the broad and narrow gauges, yet it was not meant to con tend for its absolute accuracy under all circumsta n c e s. The experiments by the committee appointed by the British Association, and those by Mr. Scott Russell, and by Mr. Stephenson, were adduced on the other hand, as confirming in a remarkable degree the r esu lt s o bt a ined by Mr. Harding and given in the paper. The resistance on railways being analysed, was con tended to be composed of the friction of the wheels and axles which remained constant at all velocities, and the frontage resistance which increased as the square of the velocity: But there was also shown to exist a large remainder of resistance, which it was important to consider the constitution of. It appeared that this remainder in creased in the direct ratio of the velocity, and not at the squares. The term " concussion" had been used to designate this cause of the expenditure of power, as it was contended that, in the passage of a train, a motion resembling that of a wave was communicated to the comparatively inelastic earth. This vibratory action must be caused by an expenditure of power, and it was contended that the striking of the flangs of the wheels against the rails, the flexure of light rails, insecure chairs and fastenings, unstable sleepers, the 'action of the springs, and even the motion of the passengers in the carriages, all absorbed power, causing resistances, and it was argued that the remainder sought would be found in these circumstances, which had not been gene rally considered by experiments. This element of re sistance also increased directly as the velocity, and not as the square. The effect of the lateral resistance of even a light side wind upon a long train was shown to be excessive, and it was stated that it had been given in evidence that on several occasions seven engines had been required to arrive at a moderate speed with a train of 100 tons in a gale of wind acting laterally. The experiments on the resistance to trains descend ing inclined plains by their own gravity, as tried fur the British Association, were quoted as being still the most conclusive record. It was, however, shown, that the atmospheric system afforded the best opportunity for testing absolutely the resistance, as by observing accu rately the vacuum in front of the piston, shown by the barometer, and the velocity of the train, its positive weight being known, the air being presumed to enter behind the piston at the atmospheric pressure, and al lowing 1001bs. for the friction of the piston, a most per fect dynamometer existed, and all the attendant circum stances being mama, accurate results zulglit be arrives at ; it was therefore suggested, that as such great dis crepancy of opinion existed on the subject of resistance (varing between 181 b. and 721 b. per ton), an application should be made by the institution to the Croydon Railway Company, for permission to try a series of ex periments to settle the question on certain basis ; and that this investigation should be restricted simply to the scientific inquiries as to resistance, and not touching at all upon the commercial or the comparative value of the locomotive and atmospheric system of traction, they being foreign to the views of the institution. It V appeared generally admitted, that the method of computing resistances, from the quantity of water used as steam, in a locomotive engine drawing a certain load ata given speed, under a pressure indicated in the boiler, was liable to error, as so many circumstances must be taken into consideration. Indicator diagrams were exhibited and reasoned upon, but it was shown that the present knowledge of the action of steam in the cylinder of a locomotive engine was very limited ; and that no positive reliance could be placed on the results obtained, except as a check against error in the other and better method of observation. Still the subject of the action of steam in a locomotive was one of such great interest, that its discussion must always lead to useful results. It was shown that Mr. Hawksley's for mula, for computing the velocity of the passage of fluids in piles, might be advantageously applied to this subject also; and by its application he contended that a speed of sixty miles per hour could not be maintained upon a railway without great expense. The first paper read was a description by Mr. Bidder, M. Inst. C. E., of his swing bridge over the Wincum, at Norwich. The bridge was described as covering, by two spans of 45 feet each, 85 feet of the river and a portion of the land on the Norwich side. It was so constructed, that turning upon a centre pin, fixed upon piles, the two sides opened simultaneously, thus balancing each other, and giving great facility for opening and shutting it for the uses of the navigation and the rail way traffic. The whole structure, the details of which were elaborately given with the method of building it, was of cast and wrought iron. It weighed 347 tons, and was manufactured by Messrs. H. and M. D. Grissell, from Mr. Bidder's designs. The paper was illustrated by a very complete model, presented by Messrs. Grissell, and by a beautiful set of drawings by Messrs. Cheffins. A paper was read " On the stability of arches, with practical methods for determining the proper form of ther sections," by G. Snell, Assoc, Inst. C.E. This paper consisted of four sections, with an appendix : the first section treated of the general conditions of stability in arches ; the second discussed the conditions of sta bility in an arch composed of infinite strength to resist compression. The arch being similar and similarly loaded on either side the crown, and one of the points of rupture therefore being assumed to be at the crown. The third section showed how the results of the inves tigations in the second section might be applied to actual practice, or to the case of an arch of limited strength to resist compression, which was actually the condition of the strongest material, and which greatly affected the results of the problems in the former sections based on the hypothetical conditions of infinite strength of material. This seetion showed how the form of section of an arch might be designed according to the strength of the material of which the arch was to be composed ; but in this section, as in the second, the arch was supposed to be similar, and similarly loaded on either side. The crown and one point of rupture was assumed to be at the crown. The fourth section investigated the conditions of stability of an arch, either similar or not similar, or similarly or not similarly loaded on either side of the crown of the arch, and the various points of failure were determined with out the assumption of one of them. By means of this problem the proper form of section might be designed for an arch, to be subjected to any number of pressures acting in any position and direction. Thus the effect of men walking over a vaulted ceiling, or any other pres sure, in vertical directions, might be counteracted by the particular form of section arrived at by the application of the method described in this section. The author followed the principles of Professor Moseley, and applied them to the proof of a tentative process, which was advanced by MM. Lauri and Cha peyrou, and proved by an abstruse process, requiring the aid of the infinitesimal analysis on principles entirely different from those of Professor Moseley. The investi gation and problems in this paper did not require the application of Algebraical analysis, either in their proof or practical application ; no more than a knowledge of the first laws of statics and the leading principles of geometry was required, either to work the problems or to understand the problems on which they were founded. The appendix contained some observations on methods of finding the centres of gravity without algebraic cal culation ; and the paper was illustrated by a complete series of large diagrams, which rendered the problems very cleF. The papers announced for reading on the meeting of June 30, on which day the ballot was announced to take place, were 745, " On the effect produced by the deep wells of the metropolis, on the supply of water in the London basin," by Frederick Braithwaite, M. Inst., C.E., and a " Description of the Iron Gates for the Docks at Sevastopol," by W. Shears, Assoc. Inst., C.E.

EJECTMENTS (IRELAND) BILL, The following is a comprehensive summary of " A Bill to amend the Law in Ireland as to Ejectments and Distresses, and as to the Occupation of Lands," brought in by Lord Lincoln and Sir J. Graham: — Whereas it is expedient to amend the law in Ireland as to Ejectments and Distresses, and as to the Occupa tion of Lands ; be it therefore enacted, by the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled,'and by the authority of the same, that in all cases of ejectment for non-payment of rent, the amount claimed to be due for rent, and the times at which the same accrued, shall be stated upon the declaration or summons in ejectment or civil bill, and upon payment of the rant so specified, and costs, within the time therein specified, to the lessor of the plaintiff, or plaintiff, or his attorney, all furth*r proceedings in such ejectment shall cease and be stayed accordingly. The defendant to be at liberty to have the costs taxed. 2. In such ejectments in the superior Courts money may be paid into Court for rent and costs. 3. At any time before execution issued in ejectment for non-payment of rent, upon payment or tender and lodgment of the rent and costs the proceedings shall be stayed. 4. And be it enacted, that it shall be lawful for the defendant in any civil bill ejectment for non-payment of rent, six clear days previous to the day on which, by such civil bill, he is required to appear, to deposit with the Clerk of the Peace a sum of money for rent, together with the sum of for costs, for which deposit the Clerk of the Peace, upon payment of a fee of one shil ling, shall give to the defendant a certificate, according to the form in the schedule (C) hereto annexed, which,cer tificate shall be free from the payment of stamp duty. and of which certificate a copy shall be entered by the Clerk of the Peace in the book kept by him for entering decreesiti civil bill ejectments ; and the defendant shall, four clear days previous to the day on which he is re ' quired to appear as aforesaid, deliver to or leave at the place of abode of the plaintiff, his agent, receiver, or attorney in such case, such certificate ; and in case the plaintiff, or his attorney in such case, shall receive from the Clerk of the Peace the sum so deposited, which the said Clerk of the Peace is hereby required to pay over to the plaintiff or his attorney, on demand, such receipt and payment shall be deemed to be in full dis charge of the rent claimed by such civil bill and of costs, but in case the plaintiff or his attorney, after such certi ficate shall have been delivered or left as aforesaid, shall not accept the sum so deposited, and shall proceed to a hearing of such civil bill, and it shall thereupon appear that no greater sum than the sum so deposited was due to the plaintiff for rent and costs at the time of the service of such civil bill ejectment, and that such ejectment has been delivered or left as aforesaid, it shall be lawful for the Assistant-barrister to dismiss such civil bill, with the cost of all the proceedings s . usequent to the time of the making of such deposit, as in other cases of dismisses of civil bill ejectments. 5. In such civil-bill ejectments, if the defendant before a decree pay or tender the rent and costs, the proceed ings shall be stayed. 6. The writ or warrant for execution in ejectment for non-payment of rent in the Superior or Civil Bill Courts shall state the amount due for rent and costs, and upon payment thereof, with certain Sheriff's fees, execution shall be stayed. 7. The provisions of the 6 and 7 William IV., c. 75, as to civil-bill ejectments, extended to terms for lives and years concurrent. 8. Ejectments under 6 and 7 Will. IV., c . 75, ex tended to cases of permissive possession acquired within twenty years. 9.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENTS IN THE LATE STORM.— Yesterd ly morning, between twelve an ime o'clock, the following frightful accidents, which occurred during the heavy storm that visited the metropolis, were admitted into the King's College Hos pital. The first happened to Eliza Beesley, a young woman about twenty-two, living at 31, St. Clement's-lane. As she was walking down the lane home, a portion of a chimney-pot suddenly fell upon her head, and fractured the Agin, besides making an ex' ensive lace ration of the forehead. The other accident happened in Fetter-lane, to Mary Thorn. aged forty-eight, a widow, who was running, to take shelter out of the rain, which at that moment was descending in tenants, when the poor creature slipped down on the stones and broke her right leg. She remained in this helpless condition for nearly ten minutes before assistance arrived, when she was removed to the above institution, where it was considered that the process of amputation must be resorted to. ACCIDENTS BY LIGHTNING.—During a heavy thunder storm on Thursday last, John Porteous, a boy in the service of Mr. Thomas Young, Cowdenknowes Mains, near Kelso, whilst returning from the field where he had been for the purpose of cutting thistles with a sickle, was killed by the electric fluid, which seemed to have traversed the whole length of the body. About the same time a horse drawing a roller in a field at Smailholm Mains, belonging to Mr. John Tait, and two fat beasts belonging to Mr. W.

This was an action to recover the sum of 5601., for which the defendant was alleged to be liable.• The defendant pleaded that he never was indebted, and that he had paid the debt, whereupon issues were joined. Mr. Knowles and Mr. Willis appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Crowder and Mr. Rawlinson for the defendant. The plaintiff in this case was an advertising agent, and had inserted general advertisements in the months of Oc tober and November last, in several town and country newspapers, and in the railway journals, concerning the Salisbury and Lymington Railway. The project was one out of the large number which found their origin in the speculative spirit of the last year, and appears to have been got up by the Messrs. Wheel and Berkeley, solicitors, who were assisted by a barrister named Mellor. An office was taken by the solicitors, in the Old Jewry, and a provisional committee, consisting of several gentlemen, was in a short time formed. In this part of the formation of the project, a gentleman named Downs, who resided at Ryde, in the Isle of Wight, appears to have taken a considerable share. At the request of the solicitors he became a member of the provisional committee of the company, and was indemnified by them against any liability he might incur in that capacity. Some short time after he bad become a party to the concern he saw the defendant at Ryde, and communicated to him the circumstance of his being on the provisional committee of the Salisbury and Lyirington Railway. The defendant thereupon expressed a wish to have his own name inserted in the list, and it was said that he applied by letter to the solicitors for that purpose. That letter was lost, but in compliance with the defendant's wish, he was admitted a member of the provisional committee, and was offered in that capacity an allotment of a certain number of shares in the line, which, however, he appears to have declined. The intention of holding meetings in London was notified to the defendant on each occasion, with a request that he would at tend them. On one of those occasions the defendant stipu lated in writing that his travelling expenses should be de frayed, an act which the Learned Counsel for the plaintiff construed into a consciousness, on the part of the defendant, of the responsibility of his situation. Mr. CROWDER, on behalf of the defendant, represented the case against his client as one which differed from any hitherto brought before the Court, inasmuch as it was at• tempted to fix the defendant with liability, simply from his having been willing to allow his name to appear on the list of the provisional committee. The question which arose upon that state of facts, was, whether it was the law, that the mere circumstance of a man having had his name inserted in the list of provisional committee, authorised the attorney, the secretary, or any individual connected with the company. to order goods upon the representation of his being a responsible party. That was a question which, as he apprehended, had not as yet been decided, and it was one of such magni tude and importance, as under the particular circumstances of the case, should exonerate his client from liability. The application of the principle of agency, on which the plea of partnership rested, would determine the question in favour of the defendant, and he, therefore, confidently submitted that he was entitled to the verdict of the jury. The LORD CHIEF BARON having summed up, The jury retired, and, after an absence of half an hour, returned with a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 26. (Sittings at Nisi Prius.) oultmEr THE ELDER v. GURNEY AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought by Mr. Gurney, a gentleman who formerly held an office in this Court, to recover 9001. on a bill of exchange from the firm of Gurney and Chapman, late of the Union Brewery, Lambeth. The circumstances which led to the action are shortly these : One of the defendants is the son of the plaintiff, and the latter, it, would appear, gave his son a sum of 8,0001., to purchase a share of Mr. Chapman, the other defenant, in the Union Brewery. A partnership was in consequence formed, during the existence of which the younger Gurney gave several bills of exchange and pro missory notes, in the name of " Gurney and C 0.," to his father and other members of the family. In course of time the affairs of the brewery became embarrassed, and Mr. Chapman caused an inquiry to be instituted, which led to a dissolution of the partnership. The younger Gurney, in con sequence of the proceedings in which he had been engaged, became bankrupt, and the affairs of Mr. Chapman were also placed in a state of serious embarrasment. The elder Gurney sued his son in legal form on the bill of exchange, and the latter allowed judgment to go by default. That circumstance induced the plaintiff to bring this further action, to decide whether the giving of the bill of exchange was an act of partnership, or whether it was only a private transaction of the younger Gurney. In fact the material point at issue was the responsibility of Mr. Chapman, as being the partner of the younger Mr. Gurney. A special jury was impannelled to try the case. The Attorney-General and Mr. Montague Chambers ap peared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Watson and Mr. Humphries for the defendants. The examination of witnesses on the point we have stated was then proceeded with. A great number of witnesses were examined on both sides, at -the close of which counsel addressed the jury at consi derable length on the point at issue. ➢lr. Justice WILLIAMS then summed up, and the jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict for the de fendants. SHERIFFS' COURT, SESSIONS HOUSE, NE IV June 25. (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff ABBOOT.) DAWSON AND OTHERS V. MOLONEUX. This was a writ of inquiry to assess damages. Plaintiffs are advertising agents in the City, and sought to recover 1,1721. 6s. 6d. of the defendant, who is a banker at Lever, and a provisional committeeman of the proposed Brighton, Lewes, and Tunbridge Wells Direct Railway. H. Goodman, clerk to plaintiffs, proved to receiving orders from the secretary and clerks cf the company to advertise the prospectus and proceedings of the railway company. G. Phipper, clerk to plaintiffs, produced bills for advertise ments. They claimed 8/. 6s. Bd. per cent. as commission. Cross-examined—The Times allowed no discount ; the other papers allowed a discount from 5 per cent. up to 30 er cent. Mr. Collinson, treasurer to the Morning Chronicle, stated that they allowed 5 per cent. discount to agents only. Would not allow a discount to railway companies. John Franks, clerk in the Morning Herald office, deposed that this journal allowed a discount of ten per cent. to agents only. Mr. BRAMWZLL addressed the jury, and contended that the claim set up was an extravagant one, and that plaintiffs had no right to charge their commission upon sums beyond money actually paid by them. The line was twenty-two miles. The plaintiff's charges for advertisements only was at the average of 551. a mile. _ _ The UNDER-SHERIFF summed up, and the jury returned a verdict for the amount claimed-1,1721. 6s. 6d. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A young man, named John Jenkin, who styled him self a cutler by trade, was brought before Alderman Gibbs yesterday, charged with having endeavoured to obtain by imposition pecuniary relief from Pascoe St. Leger Greenfell, Esq., of Hyde Park-square. Mr. Pelham, who attended for Mr. Greenfell, stated that yesterday morning the prisoner called upon Mr. Greenfell with a petition, of which the following is a copy:-- "London, June 8, 1846. " These are to certify that the bearer hereof, Mr. David Jenkin, master, with two others, seafaring men, were part of the crew of the merchant-schooner Jane, of Swansea, which unfortunately run down, on the night of Friday, the sth day of June instant, on her passage from St. Ives, bound to Swansea, laden with ore, when, melancholy to relate, out of her crew, consisting of master, mate, three seamen, and one boy, only the said three men were saved, who, finding their vessel sinking, took to their boat, in which they remained fur several hours, till picked up by the crew of the sloop Industry, Swansea trader (Walters, master), who landed them at this port on the 7th day of June instant, in a distressed condition. " Given under my hand at Swansea, this Bth day of June, 1846. " G. J. WALTERS, Si., " Master of the Industry." Several names were attached to the petition, and se veral sums marked down as contributions from the gen tlemen whose signatures were forged, amongst which was the name of" J. H. Vivian," placed with a contri bution of 101. 103. The prisoner brought with him a letter, purporting to be written by J. H. Vivian, Esq., M P., and recommending the prisoner as a fit person for the exercise of his sympathy. Mr. Greenfell being in a hurry, told the prisoner to call upon him at his office, in Thomas-street, in the afternoon. At his leisure, Mr. Greenfell having looked more closely at the petition, sus pected the genuineness of the instrument, and wrote over to Mr. Vivian in Belgrave-square, who replied that the whole was a gross imposition. The prisoner was, upon his next visit, taken into custody. Mr. Greenfell thought the fellow ought to be proceeded against for forgery, but he (Mr. Pelham) was afraid the magistrate's juris diction was confined to a summary disposal of the case. Alderman GIBBS having looked over the documents, which were written in a good clear clerk's band, asked Mr. Greenfell whether he had given the prisoner any money. Mr. Greenfell replied in the negative. Alderman Grins—You ought to have given him the shilling. I can only treat him as a rogue and vagabond. What have you (to the prisoner) to say to this ? The prisoner—lt is all false, my Lord. Alderman Grues—What is all false ? The prisoner—The paper. My cousin gave it to me. My father was dead, and I wanted to bury him, and tried to get a little money to do it. I buried him yesterday. Alderman GIBBS—What are you, and where have you come from ? You are not a sailor. The prisoner —I worked eighteen months ago at Greenwich. I live there now. I am a cutler, and worked there. Mr. Greenfell confirmed the statement made by the solicitor, as did Mr. Vivian, and both of those gentlemen thought the majority of the signatures were false. Alderman GIBBS then committed the prisoner to pri. son to hard labour for three months. THAMES. Benjamin Gibbins, the man who stands charged with the wilful murder of Anne alias Jane Sloman, at No. 6, Labour in-Vain-street, Shadwell, where an illicit still was in opera tion for some weeks previous, was brought before Mr. Ballan tine for final examination. Since the last investigation, Inspector Valentine and pollee sergeant Townson, of the K division, have been actively em ployed in pursuing their inquiries and endeavouring to un ravel the mystery which hangs over the affair, but the only additional facts that came to their knowledge was one of a very singular nature. It appears that on the morning of the 2d of June, after the body of the deceased was discovered, a woman named Petty, the wife of a mechanic, pulled down a window curtain with blood stains upon it, from the window of the front room, but she made no mention of the occur rence till Wednesday, when she was di r ected by the police to attend as a witness, and readily did so,sibtrotnshse, was not i that the called upon to give evidence. The suppo and that the death-blow was inflicted in the front room,wnh the p stairo ice s h aivneto also woman was either forced or th f ro u w n n d. do passage, where the body ascertained, that the dece w as as ed ° gave information to an excise officer a week previous to her death, that aepftrhihvaeatrtep her ve s a t rr i e l e l m l elau a r_ s at work in the house , and the supposition is, tion of the secret ca me to the knowledge Gibbing, or some other persons connected with th e still, and that she was made away with on that account. Will i am P a rramour, a police - constable of the K division, who was not examined before, was called. It will be recol lected that the prisoner, in accounting for the way in which he spent his time on the night of the Ist of June, - said he yigited a Wifeol l l 9 P, oPPoilto UAdyfell Church, twice. 04 the first occasion he said he was there from one o'clock till half-past one, and that he went out and returned again at three, and remained till nearly four. It was shown by the witness Parramour that he walked from Mr. Crafford's coffee-shop to the rear of the house, where the alleged mur der was committed, got upon a wall into the yard of the house, and after entering the dwelling itself returned to the coffee-shop again in ten minutes only. He further said that any person could walk from the coffee-shop to the house in Labour-in-Vain-street in three minutes, and that on Wed nesday night, and also on that morning, he got upon the wall and thence into a piece of " blank ground," behind the house, without interference. The easiest way of obtaining access to the house was by the lower window, not the upper one, which the prisoner did enter on the morning of the 2d of June, at seven o'clock. Dr. Letheby, lecturer on chemistry at the London Hos pital, who gave medical evidence on the last examination, again proffered his evidence. He gave his opinion last week that the blood on the prisoner's jacket was living blood, con taining fibrine matter, and that it came from the human head, whilst that on the matting on which the deceased's head rested was from a dead person, and contained no fibrine matter. He now produced samples of each, on glass, and the difference was very striking. He stated that since the last examination a piece of wood, part of the beading of the lower window, had been handed to him. It bore the im pression, apparently, of a blood stain. He had applied the usual tests, and found it to be nothing but colouring matter, made up of ruddell and albumen, or size. He had painted a piece of wood with similar colouring matter, and the ap pearance was precisely the same. He produced the two pieces of wood, 'and said he laboured under the impression that the beading of the lower window had been painted to resemble blood, for the purpose of testing the evidence he gave last week, and to ascertain whether it was speculative or 'not. The red colour was very similar to stains of blood, but on the tests being applied, the difference was soon evi dent. Police-sergeant Townson stated that he saw what appeared to be the impression of a blood-stained hand on the beading of the window, and he thought it was but right to remove it and give it to Dr. Letheby. There being no other evidence, Mr. BALLANTINE said he should commit the prisoner to Newgate to take his trial for the wilful murder of Anne Sloman. The prisoner, who exhibited great composure during the reading over the depositions, here betrayed much anxiety, and said he was an innocent man, and that justice had not beea done him. He said he was very anxious that the woman who supplied him with refreshmentiat the coffee shop, on the morning of the alleged murder, should be called, and she could prove what be had, who was in the next box, and how long Le remained in the place on each occasion. He also wished the coal-whipper who accompanied him to the coffee-shop on the second occasion to be brought forward. Mr. BALLANTINE said the female could prove nothing more than Mr. Crafford, the proprietor of the coffee-shop, had done, and he had not thought proper to encumber the case with her evidence. As to the coal-whipper, he had been sought after in all directions by the police, but could not be found. The evidence of that man would be the most im portant, because he was seen to leave the coffee-shop with the prisoner on the second occasion. The prisoner said, the man was to be found any morning at the coal-whippers' office. Mr. BALLANTINE—Perhaps you can tell us his name. The prisoner said, he never saw him before of his know ledge, and he made an earnest request that the case should be adjourned for a week, and that the woman belonging to the coffee-shop should be produced, and the coal-whipper apprehended. Mr. BALLANEINE saw no necessity for another adjourn ment, and told the prisoner he could call the woman as a witness on his trial. If the coal-whipper could be found, he should certainly be forthcoming at the Central Criminal Court. The prisoner was then committed. MARKET NEWS. -(YESTERDAY). CORN EXCHANGE. The present week's arrivals of English Wheat having been on a very moderate scale, the stands here were scantily filled with sam ples. Still, however, as it is expected the new duties on foreign Corn will be receivable at the Custom-house to-morrow, the dealers were very cautious in their operations, indeed the trade was in a most uncertain state, yet we can notice no alteration in the quota tions. The imports of foreign Wheat have been good, and the article, free of duty, commanded very little attention at late rates. The late line showers having produced a very beneficial effect upon all spring Corn, the sales progressed heavily, and in some instances the quota tions had a downivaxd tendency. Superfine Malt being scarce com manded full prices, but all other kinds were neglected. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley. 3,700 qrs. 1,740 qrs. Oats flour. 3,150 qrs. 1,850 sly.

Our market was on the whole tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with Beasts, the general quality of which was by no means first rate. The attendance of buyers being more numerous than for some time past, the Beef trade ruled firm, at fully Monday's quota tions. We had on cffer 60 Oxen and Cows, together with 350 Sheep, from Holland ; 12 Oxen, from Prussia ; and 40 Scots from Scotland. Sheep, the supply of which was seasonably extensive, moved off steadily, at late rates. The number of Lambs being large, the de mand for that description of stock was somewhat inactive, and prices were with difficulty supported. Calves and Figs ruled very dull, and the currencies had a downward tendency. Milch Cows were selling at from 161 to 181 18s each ; Suckling Calves, 18s to 283 ; and quarter old Store Pigs, 16a to 193 each.

SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING THE AMENDMENT OF THE LAW. THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COUNCIL. Your Council have now for the third time to report to the Society their views of its state and prospects. Our numbers have continued to increase. In our last Annual Report, though we were able to announce a con siderable accession of members, we were obliged to add, that our recruits were principally from the ranks of the law : however much we were pleased at lawyers joining us who were willing to aid us, still we felt that our labours would be comparatively fruitless unless we received that support which the community at large alone can give. This year we are happy to state that we have also been joitid by many Members of both Houses of Parliament, and by - many other gentlemen belonging to the mercantile and other classes of the community. In the last year death has deprived us of two eminent members, the late Earl Spencer and Mr. Justice Storey, the one ever ready to promote any useful public object with his influence and ptirse„ the other a man whose legal writings have acquired for him an European reputation. We notice with pleasure that one of our ordinary members, Mr. Burge, has been appointed to till the office of Commissioner of the Leeds Cdurt of Bankruptcy, an office in the due performance of which we take the greater interest, because it is one of those offices which we owe to the progress of law amend ment. In losing Earl Spencer we have to regret the loss of a vice-president. The increasing importance of the Society, as evidenced by the number of Peers of Parliament who have joined it, has induced the Council to recommend that we should not merely fill up the vacancy thus occa sioned, but increase the number of vice.presidents. The Society has also enlarged the sphere of its exertions. They have called in the public to sanction and approve of their proceedings, and in that appeal they have been com pletely successful. At a public meeting held on the 6th of ‘...mposeci di many eminent and learned per sons. as well members of this Society as persons not yet en rolled, resolutions in favour of its establishment and objects were unanimously passed. It will be now our duty shortly to recapitulate the pro ceedings of the Society since our last Report. We have the satisfaction of stating that the machinery of the Society has worked well. The plan of referring suggestions to par ticular committees competent to entertain them, which com mittees report on them to the general body, where they are again discusseed, has proved well adapted to afford opportu nities both for careful and extensive consideration and in quiry. Inquiry indeed is the great object of the Society. It may be a humble one, but your Council submit that it is of unquestionable use that inquiry should precede and accom pany all changes in the law, and that correct information as to them should be diffused. The Committee on the law of property has proceeded with its useful and successful labours, and to this committee, for its zeal and devotion to the cause, your Council feel that especial praise is due. The Bills for rendering the assign ment of satisfied terms unnecessary and faciliating the con veyance of property, which were founded on their Reports, have passed into law. The first of these has been aceepted both by the profession and the public as a great improve ment. It has removed a source of great delay and expense (the latter having been calculated as amounting to 200,000/. a-year), and has done much to simplify the title to land while its security has been in no way diminished. By the Acts relating to deeds an effectual blow, as we be lieve, has been struck at awarding professional remuneration according to the length of the instrument, and something has also been done to shorten particular classes of deeds. Your Council have also observed with pleasure that the principle of these Acts has been adopted and recognized by her Majesty's Government in a Bill introduced in the pre sent session for facilitating the granting of leases in Ireland. These Acts must also he taken as a legislative expression of opinion, that the profession should exert themselves in every possible way to cheapen and simplify the necessary dealings between man and man connected with real property. This opinion has been subsequently and more emphatically expressed by the Report of a Select Committee of the House of Lords on the Burdens upon Land, a document which has justly received the greatest attention and is entitled to the greatest weight, as expressing the unanimous opinion of all parties in that branch of the Legislature of " the necessity of a thorough revision of the whole subject of conveyancing, and the disuse of the present prolix, expensive, and vexa tious system." As this opinion was similar to that expressed by this. So ciety from its commencement, we cannot but consider the Lords' Report as a remarkable confirmation of our views, and (we trust we may add without presumption) some proof of the benefit which has already attended the diffusion of our reports and proceedings. Your Council is now watching with great interest the pro gress of the " Bill for further facilitating the Conveyance of Property," which stands for a third reading in the House of Lords without one dissentient voice having been expressed. This Bill is a further adoption of the recommendations of the Society. Your Council also invite attention to the other reports which have proceeded in the present session from this Committee, more especially to those " On the Law of Mortgages," " On the Law of Uses and Trusts," and the two resorts " On the eetabliehmetit of a General Registry of Deeds." We believe that in these reports, and in those pre viously submitted to the Society, are to be found sugges tions of the utmost importance ; and that by following them out carefully and gradually, the community will be able to obtain, 1. A more ready mode of investing money on the mortgage of lands, which will be equally advantageous both to the borrower and the lender; 2. The shortening and cheapening the deeds relating to the transfer of lands; and 3. The simplification of the title to land, and more especially the reduction of the delay and expense now attending a re trospective investigation of title. We believe that these measures will be a great advantage to all branches of the puhlic and more especially to the landed interest, and the trading and mercantile interest. We also consider that a great social benefit will be conferred on the community, if the number of small holders of land can be increased, and small capitalists be induced to invest their savings in land. Neither can we possibly believe that changes which will greatly facilitate all legal dealings with land, which will bring about a much larger and more rapid investment of capital in land, which will engage in legal transactions of this nature a much wider circle of the com munity, can in any way injure the legal profession. We cannot think that the practical exclusion of the great mass of the people from taking any interest in the transactions of conveyancing is beneficial to any class, but least of all is it so to that class whose peculiar business it is to assist and prepare them. Your Council therefore have the fullest con fidence, that in recommending and furthering measures which improve and simplify the law, and facilitate to the utmost the alienation of property, they are the true friends of professional interests. Lawyers for the most part our selves, we consider that the maintenance of the profession of the law in an honourable and prosperous state in all its branches, is beneicial not only to the lawyer but to his client. Your Council are desirous that the Society should act in harmony with the feelings and interests of the pro fession ; and we believe that these are in this case, as in most others, identical with those of the community at large. The Equity Committee is entitled to praise for much as siduous attention to the subjects referred to them. They have presented a report recommending the establishment of a Court of Trusts, with a view to creating a system of public Trusts, and thus superseding the necessity, if parties so please, of appointing private trustees. Your Council have reason to suppose that a Bill will be brought in with the view rather of having the principle of a Public Trust ee 'con sidered, than of attempting to pass any measure of this sort in the present session. This Committee has devoted much time to the subject of the delays in the Master's offices. The Committee have anxiously considered this important and difficult subject, and we look with hope and confidence to their ultimately suggesting a plan which may remedy this long- admitted grievance. A useful report from the Common Law Committee for rendering the law uniform in all cases of actions brought against persons acting in pursuance of all public Acts of Parliament, has been received, and a Bill founded on it has been introduced, andfwill probably become law in the present session. The Criminal Law Committee has presented two very valuable Reports, one of which recommends for adoption the plan of Captain Maconochie, for the management of trans ported and other criminals; and the other reports in favour of submitting to the jurisdiction of the Petty Sessions tin aggravated larcenies of small amount. Both these reports were the fruit of great consideration and discussion ; and we belive that much benefit in the diffusion of sound informa tion has already resulted from them. Your Council have the satisfaction of stating, that the in come of the Society exceeds its present expenditure.

Having considered whether we should establish a separate publication for this purpose, or avail ourselves of any existing publication, we have come to the conclusion, that it would be both cheaper and more ad vantageous in the first instance to avail ourselves of an existing publication, if a suitable one could be found willing i to rfo pleasurerw forward r ind the announcing,views that t Society.

INSTITUTEON OF CIVIL EN GINEERS, JUNE 9, 16, AND 23. (Sir JOHN RENNIE, President, in the Chair.) The discussion upon the paper by Mr. Harding, on " the resistance to railway trains at various velocities," was continued throughout the two former of these evenings, and assumed so wide a field, that it would be difficult in our limits, and without the aid of diagrams, to give an adequate idea of the opinions of the several speakers. The chief point in discussion was, the statement by one party, that the resistance to a passenger train weigh ing about 30 tons, at a velocity of 60 miles per hour, would be upwards of 501bs. per ton, whilst it was con tended by another party, that it had been demonstrated to be not more than 181bs. per ton.

(From the London Yew Price Current of June 23.) SIIGAE.—To-day there was a falling off in the demand for raw Sugar for home consumption, and prices assumed a downward ten dency, and the unsettled state of the Sugar duties caused buyers to be cautious in their proceedings. REFINED —To-day Refined goods were purchased with caution by the home trade, but we have little variation to notice in prices. MAlMlTlVS.—lmporters have been unable to obtain any further advance in ptices, and the market has been more freely supplied, but the demand has been good for all descriptions, and the rates paid have been equal to those of this day week. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon three parcels of Bengal Sugar, amounting to 4,00 bags, were submitted to public competition ; the trade were less inclined to operate, and the rates taken were 6d to is per cwt under those that previously prevailed. FOREIGN.—The market has a firm appearance for all descriptions, and the quantity brought forward has been small. Brown Brazil has been in excellent request, and the rates paid have been rather above those that previously existed. In white a fair business has been transacted, and prices are still rising. At auction, 79 cases 11 boxes of Bahia were disposed of. In yellow Plavannah an extensive busi ness is prevented by the reluctance of holders to sell ; the prices offered are above those that previously prevailed. White has been sold to a fair extent.

Mocha was in less de• mand, and 200 bales at auction only In part sold at full prices. _ _ lilo4ssEs.—A good demand has been experienced for West India, but any further advance in prices has been prevented by the markets having been better supplied.

Leeward Island is still wanted, and prices remain firm, there not being a large quantity on offer. Calcutta has been purchased with increased free dom; holders evince firmness. Demerara has been in fair re quest at full prices, strong sorts fetching 3s to 3s 4d per gallon. There has been a better demand for old descriptions of lArandy, and somewhat better prices have been obtained ; but new sorts are still heavy of disposal, and further reduced prices have been taken. In Geneva purchases were made at 2s to 2s Id f r common export sorts, and 2s 4d to 3s for fine and very fine for home consumption. For British Corn Spirits prices are sustained.

For forward delivery the demand does not im prove. For home made prices are still drooping, the supply being very large. In other kinds of Tallow there has been little business transacted, and the tendency of prices is still downwards. FALIKIRIC..—WATERSPOUT.—A striking and unusual phenomenon was observed at Falkirk on Wednesday. The day had been unusually warm, perhaps the hottest of the a season—thermometer standing at 78 in the shade, an d suffocating sultriness gave the heavens quite a troapeicraleclahaad racter.

The report of the Commissioners of National Education lii Ireland tor the year 1845 has just been published as a Par liamentary blue book, extending, with an appendix , t o 127 folio pages. The Commissioners express their acknowledg ments for the charter of incorporation which her Majesty granted to them last year, through which they have effected an important improvement in the plan originally adopted, which was for having national school-houses, built by aid from the public, so conveyed to trustees as to be secured for the purpose of national education according to the existing national system. At the commencement of last year the Commissioners had under their control 3,153 schools, which were attended by 395,550 children. At the close of the year the schools had increased to 3,426, and the children in at tendance numbered 432,844. The Commissioners have undertaken to make grants towards the building of 276 schoolhouses, which are net yet completed, and which when the whole are finished and opened, are expected to be attended by about 27,172 additional children. The schools in connexion with the Commissioners on the 31st of December last included those founded by the guardians •f the poor of 90 unions, and the whole of the unions then established in Ireland amounted to 123. The Commissioners, in reference to the fact, repeat the observations which they made in their former reports, " that the boards of guar dians of the different unions comprise Protestants and Roman Catholics, and have amongst them men of the highest rank and station ; that the schools are attended by Pro testants and Roman Catholics indiscriminately ; and that the duty of giving religious instruction to those of each creed belongs to a chaplain of their own communion. That here, therefore, we see the national system carried into com plete effect; that here we see how peculiarly adapted it is to the circumstances of Ireland, and that here too we s ee how decidedly it carries the opinion of the country with it." It seems that there are in training 165 teachers at the public; expense. The Commissioners, in their former reports, ad vszted to the importance of agricultural instruction. They have five agricultural model schools in operation, and have undertaken to make grants towards five more, which have as yet not been established. The Commis sioners state, that since they have determined on taking upon themselves the trust of school premises, they have made known their resolution to 126 applicants for building aid. Of the number only three positively refused to adopt the board as their trustees ; two others have objected unless the board would permit the premises to revert to the grantee on repayment of the grant ; one has declined to do so unless the expense of the proposed building was defrayed by the bard ; the final deterMination of 25 had not be en communicated at the date of the report, and 95 had con sented. From the account of receipts and expenditure of the board, it appears that in April, 1845, the balance in favour of the public was 18,805/. 2s. 7d., since which 75,523/. 125;13d: had been received, making 94,328/. 14s. 1 0 d.
