It is to be hoped, however, that the intention of Sir Robert Peel to propose an easier mode of paying the railway deposits, will afford some relief, and in cline the discount houses to be more liberal.

The objects of this Association are twofold—the Insurance of Ships and the Advancing of Money by way of Loan, secured by mortgage on .shipping. Each branch affords its own share of individual profit ; but the two operations, judiciously combined, will evidently be pro ductive of highly remunerative results to the proprietary. The immense fortunes known to have been realised by individuals who have advanced money upon the security_ of shipping, with an assignment of the policy of assurance, afford the best guarantee of the soundness of the principle upon which the Association is founded. The almost incredible number of British shipping under mortgage, shown by the books of the Registrar-General of Customs, exhibits a wide field for the operations of the Association. The great bulk, if not all of these loans, have been obtained upon exorbitant terms by the small owner front his more wealthy neighbour, who may look rather to the obtaining possession of the vessel by foreclosure than to the eligibility of the security as an investment. The Association will advance a sum of money, in no case exceed ing two-thirds of the vessel's value, upon the report of its surveyors ; which loan shall be secured by mortgage upon the whole ship and earnings by freight, the policy of insurance effected with the Asso ciation remaining in its hands until the termination of tke period for which the loan has been granted. Among the many advantages It holds out, the following are not the least: To the Shipowner, the certainty of obtaining, at a moderate rate, and without injury to his credit, pecuniary assistance when he meat requires it. The opportunity of relieving himself from mortgages bearing an exorbitant interest, and effecting them with the Association at an equitable rate. To the Shipbuilder, particularly when building fer the market, either at home or in our colonies, by placing him in a position less dependent upon immediate sale at an unfavourable season. To both, a participation in the profits of the Association by ho ming shareholders. The Association embodies the following advantages for its Pro prietary : The immediate certainty of securing a very large number of poli cies of insurance, since, although insurances will be taken without loans, no loan will be gaited unless the policy be effected with the Association ; hence the double profit which will arise from these two sources. A total absence of risk to the shareholders. It may be added that an extensive connexion has been already formed in the leading outports, and insurance business to a large amount secured for the Asiociation. The came machinery sufficing for the working of the double prin ciple here exhibited, the expenses of management will not exceed those of any ordinary marine insurance-office. _ _ The necessary Parliamentary notices for an Act of Incorporation have been duly given in the Gazettes of November, 1845. The whole sum required for the preliminary expenses has been advanced by the London members of the Cemmittee of Management. Applications for shares, in the usual form, may ne made to the Committee of Management, and addressed to any of the above-named officers of the Association, to the solictors, or to any of the following agents, from whom more detailed prospeetuses may be had :—Wm.

During the present week ve r y little En g lish wheat has come to hand from any quarter. Althoug h the show of sam p les of that article was limited, the demand for it , arising from the p roceed ings in the House of Commons last evening, was heavy, and prices were almost nomi nal. Of Foreign Wheat, both free and in bond, the quantity on offer was by no means large ; nevertheless, the sale for it was unusually depressed, without, hoarever, alteration in the quotations. The best malting Barley was quite as dear, but all other kinds were a mere drug. In Malt very few sales took place, at about stationary figures. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour dull, but not cheaper.

Ills Honour in this cause granted an interim injunction in favour of the plaintiffs. In May, last year, a bill was filed by the Messrs. Rigby for this object; the defendants put in a demure', and the, cause was argued before his Honour, whe over ruled the demurrer, and sent the case to be tried by two actions at law. In 1841 covenants were entered into between the Messrs.Higby and tkeCompany about the erntion of refreshment rooms at the Swindon station ; the Messrs. Rigby faking a lease of the premises on express terms for 99 years, and agreeing io erect refreshment-rooms; the Company, on their part, expressly stipulating that all trains, up or down, except goods trains and express trains for a special purpose, should stop for refreshment at the Swindon station. But the Company, in May last, advertised and began to run what they called "express trains" be tween London aid Exeter, without stopping at the Swindon station, except for the exchange of passengers and taking in a supply of water, which did not occupy more than from one to three minutes. The plaintiffs estimated their loss arising out of this arrangement at 1,600/. a-yea - . His Hotiona said that all the facts of the case, and the points of he epl e al c u l; bedetchldedn parties favourii,th e suit to a other, and at the stage at width the suit had arrived, he granted only an Interim injunction, with liberty, if the defendant wished it, to raise anothes action at law. plain tiffs, w b ata rased t co considering s l i d n e r a i r n g g u the men relation t ha d beoefn COURT CIRCULAR. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) HOLMES V. CROSBY. Mr. HEATH appeared to show cause against a rule nisi ohtained last term by Mr. Crompton to set aside the award made by an arbi trator in this case.. The original action was brought in consequence e Mr. Crosby selling to the plaintiff as guano; a composition, not only useless but injurious. The parties agreed to 'refer the matter to arbitration, and . Mr. Harwood Barrow au accountant was chosen. From his state ment it appeared that after a due and careful consideration of all the facts of the case, and an examination of the witnesses, he had deter mined that Mr. Holmes should pay to Mr. Crosby the sum of 1671. 6s. 2d., and should also bear all the costs of the proceedings. Mr. Crompton had obtained a rule nisi to set aside that award on the ground that the 'action vas not decided by it—that it was not decided *which of the parties had been entitled to proceed in the action, and which party was liable to pay the costs, and also that the ground for the payment of the sum by Mr. Holmes was not specified, and that it might have been awarded to Mr. Crosby on some matter of difference between him and Mr. Holmes, independent of the action which was then left undecided. Mr. HEATH argued that if there was any separate matter of dif ference between Mr. Crosby and Mt. Holmes, on which the award could hate been made, the onus lay on his Learned Friend to show that such was the case, as a mere assumption of- the fact was install dent. He also cited a great number of cases in which the circum stances were similar to the present one and in which the award of the arbitrator was considered to be final. ..... --.....—. .. —.--...,....... _ ...._. Mr. CROMPTON was hoard at some length against the validity of the award. _ . . _ . .. . _ . .......,.. Mr. Justice WILLIAM said that it did appear to him that some part of the case placed undor the consideration of the arbitrator had' not beet% decided, and, therefore, the rule nisi obtained by Mr. Crompton must be made absolute.

This was an action of trespass brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, to recover compensation in damages for the injury he had received, by reason of the defendant having illegally thrown down one of the fences on, his property. The plaintiff was the occupier of a close on the borders of Waltham Forest ; and the defendant, who was a distinguished sportsman, threw down the fence which sur rounded it while he was engaged in one of his hunting excursions. The plaintiff feeling himself greatly injured and aggrieved by this act, instituted the present action in the Court of Common Pleas, to compel the defendant to make him some compensation in the shape of damages for the committal of what he considered an illegal and wrongful act ; but the defendant pleaded that he was not liable at law to make the plaintiff any compensation for what he had done, because a forest lictnse to hunt, hawk, and fish in and about' the neighbourhood of Waltham Forest had been granted to hint by the Crown, and by that license he was privileged to commit the act which the plaintiff complained of. The ATTORNHY-GENERA.L now moved this Court for an order' to' have the pleadings which had been delivered in the case in the Court of Common Pleas removed into this Court, on the ground that the close was not the fee-simple of the plaintiff, but of the Crown, which the plaintiff controverting the case involved a question affect ing the rights of the Crown, and no other Court but the Court 'of Exchequer had jurisdiction over it. Mr. WILLS, on the other side, admitted that the plaintiff claimed the freehold of the close but denied that the case involved any ques tion affecting the rights of the Crown, because the plaintiff, while he claimed the fee-simple of the land, did not deny the privilege of the Crown to derive revenues from the close. Now, the right of the Crown, therefore, to these revenues not being in the slightest degree involved in the case, there was only one other ground which would justify its removal into this Court, and that ground was this—Did the defendant, in throwing down the fence, do that which was justi fied by the privilege which the Crown had grantcd to him. Now he, contended that he did not, for although the defendant had the pri vilege of hunting over the close, he had no right to injure the fences attached to it. The case, then, did not in any way involve the pre rogative of the Crown, but simply a question of right between sub ject and subject, and as the case was ready for trial, the Learned Counsel humbly submitted that it would be an act of great injustice to the plaintiff if the Court delayed the trial by acceding to the pre sent motion. - Mr. M. CHAMBERS, on the same side, alluded to a number of cases on the subject, and particularly to " Cawthorne v. Campbell," tried before Mr. Justice Eyre, in which the law on the matter was fully entered into. By that case it was laid down that where the Crown cat interpose ita prerogative is an action between subject and sub• ject, it should be shown that the Crown was immediately concerned or interested in the case. A remote interest would not authorise the Court of Exchequer to remove a case out of another Court. The ArroaNA-GENERAL was abottttoteply, but he was stopind by ' The LORD CHIEF Baßox who said it was quite clear that the Crown was interested in the case, and of course, as the Court of Exchequer was the only Court which had jurisdiction in it, the mo tion must be granted. The. other.Judgcs concurring in this opinion, the order for the re moval of the case from the Court of Common Pleas into this Court was granted accordingly. SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary Jsmze.) NEELAND V. 11AtTD. This was an action to recover the sum of 71. for a quarter's rent. The defendant said that he was net indebted. Mr. Atkinson, the attorney for the plaintiff, said that, in his opi nion, the case was simple, although a Learned Counsel appeared to support the defence. The fact was, the defendant had occupied a house in Barclay-street, Somers. town ; and,, in January, 1845, defen dant having refused to pay, a distress was put in for 71. for one quar ter's rent. The amount was paid ; and, therefore, there could be no doubt as to the amount of the rent. It would be shown that the de fendant remained in the house after the quarter-day, and was, conse quently, liable for the rent for that quarter. Mr. CIIARNOCK, f,r the defendant, said that there might be many grounds for leaving premises and absolving the tenant from liability. This Was one of the cases. Ile should prove that the house had been let to a previous tenant, who had used it for improper purposes. Defendant was not aware of It at the time, nor that the place was out of repair. He, however, spoke to plaintiff as to the repairs, and she promised to see to them, but on defendant taking possess:on, she refused to perform her promise, but told defendant that she would have her rent for that quarter, and he might then leave as soon as he liked. _ . Witw.s.ses were called to prove that statement, and the jury with out hositation gave a verdict for defendant. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

The violent deaths were 28 ; of which 7 were from burns and scalds, and 5 suicides.

The following parti cu l ars are aka . NM - the - Wellington In dependent The Tyne left Gravesend on the 24th February last. Ther first land made in New Zealand by Captain Robertson, who Stephen's Island, which was seen on Thursday, the 3d inst., (July), at daybreak. The wind being adverse to a vessel beating up to Nelson, and Captain Robertson -having only a small portion of cargo for that settlement, determined to icshamolseohday, the h next ex ant morning. anticipated b Th ein e g fo off proceed at once to Wellington, an d a f ter ma ki ng Cape Ter rthawe j e t n te7 tran at ce 6,‘ to P. P 3 Ort th Nicholson lowing morning it.blew a gale, which increased m violence ; and what with rain and fog, it was impossible to see-more -• than a very limited distance round the vessel. At 5 raw. land was seen on the lee bow, the vessel was immediately put about, when the rocks were discerned, and she almost immediately struck on the Rima Rifa Rocks, close to Linelan Head. The main and wizen masts were cut away, and with the sails that were set on the foremast she was driven further on shore. In a very short time the affei- • ' cabins were under water, and the bulk-head destroyed. In this state they remained till morning, the sea breaking over the stern, and the vessel striking upon- the rocks. The gale , continued raging with unabated fury. On Saturday morn ing, about 9, a.m., one of the seamen, who was an expert swimmer, offered to endeavour to get to the shore with a line, to establish a communication between-the shore and the vessel. He reached the shore in safety, but the line became entangled amongst the rocks, and he was obliged to leave it without effecting the good he . intended. At about eleven o'clock the third mate left the vessel, and reached the shore in a very exhausted state, and must have perished but for the humanity of Mr. Tutchings, of the Happy Valley Ohiro, who with his son'attended upon the spot. The seaman, who first landed, betook himself to a flax bush, where he secreted himself. from fear of' being demolished by the natives, and fell asleep, and was not discovered till Saturday night, when . he was rejoiced to find a more hearty welcome than he expected from the settlers, who had arrived on the spot. Mr. Tutchings conveyed the third mate to- his cottage in the Happy Valley, and then made his way to Wellington, to announce the lamentable catastrophe in the town. The consternation of the inhabi tants at hearing the which bad befallen the Tyne was truly painful to Witness, for no . yessel : lnad,iirriv in Port Nicholson direct from England since the Caledonian, on the 11th ofJanuary last (1845), and theStainseastle on the : 16th of February; and - many an anxious heart had been looking forward to the . Tyne as the first Vessel which would bring them intelligence, consignments, amtpackages, from those they had,left.behind. A meeting of; the merchants and inhabitants was immediately held,. and a number orgentle men resolved to start at once for the wreck. .. At bolf•Past five the bugles of the militia and 96th Regiment sounded, and three companies of the foinfer, - and the whole of the ,company of the l a tt er , were - s h ort l y a f ter on t h e roa d towards Terrawitte.

At about ten on Stinday morning,. the chief mate, with a crew of four men left the wreck in the cutter had , hardly and made another attempt to bring a line o n shore, ut left the vessel before the cutter was caps:ized, and dashed to pieces on the rocks, and the c rew with difficulty saved b y those on shore. Other attempts to float a line proved success ful, by means of..which the crew, one by one, effected a safe landing, and were received by hearty cheers from those on shore. Immediately upon Captain Robertson setting foot on land he returned thanks to the Almighty for the miraculous preservation of himself and crew, and then received the hearty congratiilations of his old friends. Captain Robertson then made his way on horseback to Wellington. The crew, consisting of nineteen hands and one passenger, were saved. An apprentice had during the passage fallen overboard, and was doused. A portion of the cargo was saved, but the Thursday follow ing the Tyne went to pieces. -- • THE TBOEIRiT YPit PEEL'S POST.—We are now no longer in the dark. W e are in p ossession of the Minister's new eonfes‘lon of faith. Sir Robert P eel last night ECSOSNITEARNsi. AND SIR . RO declared, "It is impossible Mr nle to contend that protection to native industry is right in principle." It is not necessary just now to inquire by what process he arrived at this coßclusion ; he himself ascribed it to his close attention to the working of the Tariff. But - - the last remains, " native industry" is not right in principle, accord ing to Sir Robert Peel. At the time of the last general election the thing was otherwise. Then " n stive industry" was considered worthY of being protected; then the constituencies of the country returned Ment hers for the purpose of protecting it ; then agricultural repreeentatives supported ,Sir Robert Peel, because, up to that moment, he had pro fessed himself friendly to domestic industry. These elements forniocS a great combination that was irresistible. The constituencies remain true ; Sir Robert Peel has deserted them of the Members elected in • 1841 some' have followed their leader, some are lukewarm or waver ing, and some are still faiththl. The pungent sarcasm, the cutting irony, the powerful arguments of Mr. Disraeli—the manly indigna tion of Mr. Miley—were received with an enthusiasm that leaves on full of hope for the future. It behoves the honest electoril of the kingdom, then, to bear in mind, especially three things :—That Sir R. Peel " finds it impossible to contend that ' protection to native industry' is right in ' That there are still in the House of,Commons men . who prove, .by - their present faithfulness, -that they may safely be trusted in future. That upon the electors themselves rests the re sponsibility of seeking, and securing the return of such Members to a new Parliament, as shall not only be willing, but able, to defend thet cause of native industry against the assaults of Sir Robert Peel and. tile League; and that it especially behoves the constituencies to hold, - themselves in readiness, at a moment's warning, to petition the So vereign that the royal assent be not given to the Ministerial measure of free trade until an appeal shall have beet/11119.de tO coantry. HERALD.--We are naturally under a great temptation to enter • at once upon the question of the Ministerial intentions—to indulge in surmises and inferences ; and to urge our ewn views of the best • policy to be pursued. % But we restrain ourselves, from a sense of what is due to the Government. Sir Robert Peel, although - he made a lengthened speech, declared his "firm determination not - to anti cipate discussion," although he was aware that " what he had said might give rise to some misconception." Until Tuesday the plans of the Government must remain unknown. All that can yet be asserted with safety then, is, that it is intended to make a considerable change in the corn-laws. We regret this; we see no sufficient canoe for it. With the Duke of Beaufort and the Marquis of Salisbury—staunch supporters of the Government—we express our dissent without heal talon. Still, however, it would be absurd to heap blame upon the Administration, until we know what kind of a change is to be pro posed. Certainly, the tenor of her Majesty's Speech gives no coun tenance to the idea of a rash or sweeping alteration. For four days, than, let us suspend our judgment. When the proposition is fairly before the country, we shall not be backward in dealing with it in a tone and spirit consistent with our frequently recorded opinions on the question. TROTTING.—On Thursday the mat h for Mr. Seblock's horse to trot seven miles and a half within half-an-hour from the time of starting was decided at Brixton. The stakes were 201., and the match was performed, in harness, in twenty-nine minutes. We understand that preparations are in progress for getting up a handsome dinner, next week, in commemoration of the railway from Ashford to Canterbury being opened, on which occa sion the Mayor and magistrates, and other citizens, will meet the Directors and friends of the South-Eastern Company.—Jantish Ob server. _ _ URESHA3I COLLEGE.—Yesterday nearly five hundred persons attended to hear the first of a course of two lectures on law, by Mr. Palmer. Afier waiting with some impatience till half-past one, being half-an.hour after the proper period of commencement, the beadle made his appearance, and stated that the Professor had not arrivedoor had he received any communication from him. We are authorised to state that there is no foundation for the rumour which reeached England by the East Indian mail, to the effect that a serious misunderstanding had arisen between Sir Henry Ilardinge and Sir Hugh Gough. On the contrary, private in telligence of a later date than that contained in the Indian papers warrants the belief that the most perfect union existed between the Goveraor-General and the Commaader-in-Chief.---Times. CHATHAM, JAN. 22.-"—This morning the right wing of the 2d Regiment of Post, " the Queen's Royals," marched from this garrison en route for Chichester, consisting of 1 field officer, 3 cap tains, 5 subalterns, 5 staff, 1 band master, 17 sergeants, 10 corporalS, 3 drummers, and' 195 rank and file.
