If you get your shares marked so as to entitle you to the " Eastern Counties Extension" shares, you will have the benefit of the Eastern Counties Extensions, if their Bill panes, and can fall back on the Amalgam![ on with the Direct Northern, if the London and York Bill passes. If you consent to the Amalgamation with the Direct Northern, and the London and York Bill falls, you lose all chance of the Eastern Counties offer. Think which Is best. You will, in a few days, find binding your shares to tths Direct Northern Amalgamation will make them un saleable. The public will not buy shares on which they have only one 614 2 3 _ce, but those on whi c h they have two chances, viz., the benefit R°dug converted into stock of the Company that gets its Bill, hethei it is the Eastern Counties York Extensions or the London and York.

It has been known to many of the Nolal- Aty and Gentry upwards of eleven years, some of whom the Inven tor most sincerely thanks for their attestation of its merits, in the certainty of restoring Hair and giving it additional lustre and strength. Its virtues are manifold—it prevents the Hair from fall ing off or turning gray; a few drops on the crown of the head will remove the most distressing pain in that part produced by or at tended with faintness ; and is acknowledg' d by the Faculty as the only specific known to cure that disease of the head called Porigo de calvans (which causes the Hair to come oft in patches) ; a few applications remove dandriff.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADA:us and a full Bench of Magi- strates.) CR EMORNE GARDENS . STADlUM—Yesterday an appeal was made against the decision of the 111agistrates in refusing to grant a license to Mr. Ellis, the present proprietor of the Stadium. Creworne Gardens. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, Mr. Bodkin, and Mr. Huddlestone appeared on behalf of the appellant; and Mr. Clarkson and Mr. E. Wild on the part of the respondents. There were several petitions read, praying that the license might be refused, one of which was signed by two Boman Catholic clergymen of St. Mary's cathedral, Chelsea, and which stated that they had received several co mmunications concerning the very improper manner in which the Stadium was carried on. _ Mr. a/alb:sox called several witnesses, some of whom spoke to having seen very improper and immoral acts take place within the walls of the gardens, and to the demoralis ing effect it would have upon the minds of the people if the license were granted. There were three or four witnesses who spoke of the continual disturbances which took place nightly after the amusements of Cremorne Gardens were over. After hearing Mr. Sergeant WILKINS for the appellant, a division took place; and there were 23 for granting the license, and 4 against it. _ _ Mr. Sergeant ADAMS said he perfectly agreed with the ma jority of the Magistrates, and hoped Mr. Ellis would do all in his power to make the gardens a respectable place of amusement. POLICE INTELLIGENC MANSION -HOUSE. - 771:- r Mr. John Banni s ter F au lk ner an d Mr. Bentham . s i%.. Man, who have been concerned in certain railway spe culations, were charged before Alderman Gibbs, under the following remarkable circumstances, by Mr. Leon Solomons, of No. 66, Jermyn-street, St. James's. As the case comprehended extensive forgery of shares, the Justice-room was crowded with speculatin g individuals and members of the Stock E xc h ange. Xsolicitor at tended for the complainant, and Mr. Baliantine, of the bar, appeared for the defendants. Mr. Solomons, upon being sworn, stated as. follows : The first time I gxe 4 kilaN)iF A , v. 1146 (Tay befw e yesterday. In the eilifyart 6l'March a gentleman came to my house, and brought with him a Mr. Richards, who he said wanted some money upon a quantity of scrip. He produced 500 shares in the Buckinghamshire Railway Company, and in the Bletch ley and Oxfordshire Junction Railway Company, and I ultimately lent money on these shares. He gave rile a letter stating that I was at liberty to sell the shares if they should fall to one pound discount per share. I advanced Mr. Richards 450/. upon shares which I afterwards sold. I subsequently saw Mr. Richards, and advanced hiin 2001. upon 200 of the same shares. They were then within an eighth of par, and two guineas had been paid upon each of them. On Wednesday last Mr. Richards called Lpon me with Mr. F a bi a n, who, he said, was a friend of his, and I said to him, Mr. Richards, you promised to come and settle the former transaction, to which he replied that he had no money at present, but he expected some in a few days, and he stated that both he and his friend wanted money on good security. I asked him what security, and he replied shares, the same sort of scrip which I had before, and of which a great quantity was possessed by his friend. I asked him where they were, and Mr. Richards said his friend had them in the City, and we agreed upon the terms, and Mr. Fabian went away, leaving Mr. Richards at my place, and returned in about an hour and half, and brought me 400 of those scrip produced. I agreed to let them have 480/, and I gave them a cheque for that amount. They said they wanted the money very particularly to pay to Mr. Faulkner by four o'clock this day. I said, I can't give you the money, because I want your name across the cheque. Mr. Fabian said, if Mr. Richards will write his name across the cheque, you can discount your own cheque. I said, Very well; I have no objection to do that, and I did so accordingly. Mr. Richards put his name across the cheque, and I paid Mr. Fabian four notes of 100/, each, one 201. note, and six 10/. notes. They took the 4noncy and went away. Yesterday morning I received infor mation from my bankers, Messrs. Westrop, Princep, and Co., of Old Broad-street, that the scrip were all forge ries. I said that I had a large quantity more, and I pro duced them, and found that they were a ll forgeries. I then went and consulted my solicitor, and from him to my brokers, and I was advised to look after the man. I went to the office of Mr. a F n a d u na asked , e a d n f d o r M r. Al }: . a b R i c n i , la a r t d s N . o. A n p , e O r s l d Broad-street, s t o ni r n o a t h re et, office said he was not there. I observed at the same time a person in the next room, and I went over towards it, when the door was closed in my face. I immediately pushed the door back and saw another door behind it, through which the individual, whom I afterwards found to be Mr. Fabian, escaped. Mr. Faulkner was in the room at the time. Mr. Fabian, when he got outside the door, ran as fast as he could, and I followed and cried out after him. A crowd collected, and Mr. Fabian finding that I was following him stopped, and said he would return with me and explain. He did return with me to the office. I asked him where he got the scrip which he gave to me on the day before ? He replied, from a friend. I asked him what friend, but he - merely said Oh. from a friend." I asked him why he ran away. He replied that he did not run away, but he was going to his bankers. I said to him, " You ran as fast as you could, and you stopped when you saw me determined to follow you." He denied it. ," I then that hauai quite e , a e, and supposed Where ml if give vhe ei money,wotui,du backv e mg give again."a 8 n i O/ e .t b ha c t gave you yesterday ? ' "Oh !" s a id he, " I have got the money k t hHee money added, that was all I wanted. Alderman Gross—Had you mentioned that the scrip were forgeries at the time ? Wituess—Yes ; I told him I heard they were forgeries. Mr. Princep, my broker, who was present at the time, said he did not think that I was in a condition to take the money, as Mr. Fabian, it appeared had had many more transactions with Mr. Rieliards. Mr. Fabian said that such was the case. I then asked Mr.Fahian where my money was, and he said if I would go with him in a cab, he would give it back to me. Mr. Princep said he did not think I could take the money, but advised that we should go to my legal adviser. That was agreed upon, and Mr. Faulkner, Mr. Fabian, and myself, went into a cab, a police officer having got upon the box with the driver, and drove off to my solictor. In going along I told Mr. Faulkner of the 2001. transaction I had with Mr. Richards on the 30th of April, and that Mr. Richards said he had had the shares of him, and had given him the money. Mr. Falkner said that such was the fact—Mr. Richards had given him the 2001., and whatever transaction I had with Mr. Richards, they (Faulkner and Fabian) would make good to me. I said it would be to their interest to find Mr. Richards, and they both said I might depend upon it they would do so. We went then into my soli citor's office, and Mr. Fabian said, in answer to several questions, that Mr. Rich ar d s was we l l k nown t o him, and a very particular friend of his ; but he could not, he said, tell where the gentleman was, or where he resided. Mr. Ballantine--To whom did you lend this scrip, after you got it from Mr. Fabian ? Witness—lt never went from my hands until I put it in the hands of the police officer. Mr. Ballantine—Never into any broker's hands ? Witness—Never. I do not keep a jeweller's shop, but I have a good stock. Mr. Prin2ep, of 75, Broad -street, stated that he did not know Mr. Fabian, er Mr. Faultier, at all. Mr. W. J. Parker, of No. 7, Tokenhouse-yard, a member of the Stock Exchange, stated that he was in ti,rmed by one of the directors of the Buckinghamshire Railway Company, that a great many forgeries of the scrip had been issued, and he believed that all those produced were forgeries. Daniel Forester, the officer, showed that the scrip exhibited were palpable forgeries. Mr. Ballantine wished to be informed whether the Buckinghamshire Railway Company was not winding up its affairs ? The Secretary to the Company replied that the Com pany was not winding up its affairs. It was regularly before Parliament. The solicitor to the complainant then requested the Alderman to remand the case until Tuesday. _ _ 111 x.

Inspector Hayes said there was reason to suspect that the prisoner had been concerned in several railway robberies that had been committed, particularly at the terminus of the Dover Railway, and Dr. Roberts, who had arrived from France, on the 29th last month, was pre7zent to identify his property that had been foundAL the prisoner's ho use . Mr. JA 'MINE considered preferable to entertain the charge at a future day. The mail bags tal4n at the time of the robbery were the London and Dartford and Deptford, and the prisoner is known as having passed under several names, but Bloomfield is the name by which he is known to the extensive fraternity to which he belongs. The prisoner was remanded. FLANDERS MAIL, BRusSELS, MAY s. —The average price of wheat in the week end ing on Saturday the 2d of May, was 23f. 43c , and that of ry e 16f. 96c. per hectolitre.

THE TENDENCY OF FREE TRADE to Pro mote Permanent and Universal Peace. A Lecture delivered on Thursday Evening, February 26, 1846, at a Meeting of the " Plymouth Free Trade Associa tion," by the Rev. TV. J. Odgers. All members of Peace Societies should " read, mark, and inwardly digest" this admirable little pamphlet. It points out the only common sense method by which peace between the various nations of the earth can be permanently preserved. It is all very well to argue on the unreasonableness of war, to show how contrary it is to, the precepts of true Christianity, and to depict its horrors in the glowing language of poetry ; but until all the world becomes reasonable—until all the world becomes really and truly Christian—that is to say, until the Millenium, such arguments will have little effect upcn the bulk of mankind. But establish free trade—by so doing make it the personal interest of every individual mem ber of every community to keep - up and extend com mercial (and consequently amicable) relations with every other member of every other community (and free trade will do this), and war will disappear from the face of the earth, because war will be contrary to the interest of every industrious man. No matter what may be the form of government, the industrious classes of all na tions exercise, even at the present moment, either directly or indirectly, a vast influence on the legislative and executive powers which rule their respective coun tries ; and the influence, where it is now indirect, will eventually become direct, and where it is direct, it will become more and more influential. It has increased, is increasing, and cannot and ought not to be diminished. When free trade, therefore, shall be permanently esta blished, there will be practically an end of war, because it will be then contrary to the personal interest of every influential member of every community. ANNUITIES TO VISCOUNT HARDINGE • AND LORD GoUGlL—Yesterday the Bills before Parliament to grant the annuities to Viscount Hardinge and Lord Gough, in conside ration, as it is expressed, of their "great and brilliant ser vices," were printed. The annuity,as it is known, to Viscount Hardinge is to be 3,0001. and his two next heirs, and to Lord Gough 2,0004, with the same limitation. It is provided by the Bill that in the event of the East India Company grant ing an annuity of 5,000/. for the life of Viscount llardinge, then the grant of 3,000/. by this Act shall cease to be made; and with respect to the annuity by Parliament to Lord Gough, it is stated to be the intention of the company to grant an annuity of '2,000/. for his life, and in that event then only one-half of the annuity now proposed shall be payable to Baron Gough. ROMAN CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL.—Mr. Watson's Bill for the further repeal of enactments imposing pains and penal ties upon her Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects on account of their religion was yesterday issued as amended by the Committee. Three clauses have been added to the Bill, one prohibiting the exercise of the rites of the Roman Catholic Church in public streets; another to compel members of a religious order in England, at the commencement of the Act, to deliver within six months a notice or statement of and concerning himself and his order in the form prescribed, and those who come and reside after a certain period (to be men tioned) shall deliver a similar notice to the clerk of the peace of the county. The third clause requires the clerks of the peace to preserve and register such notices, and to send a copy to the Secretary of State, the Chief Secretary of the Lord-Lieutenant in Ireland, "or other chief governor or governors of Ireland." ALARMING FIRE IN THE CORNWALL -ROAD, LAMBETH. —This morning, shortly after midnight, a fire of a serious character broke out upon the premises numbered 109, in the Cornwall-road, Lambeth, occupied by Mr. C. Davis, boot and shoemaker. At the time of the outbreak there were six fa milies sleeping in the several apartments of the building, and the discovery was made by one of them, who experienced a most suffocating sensation from smoke and flame. In the course of a few moments, the poor creature who was thus suddenly awakened appeared at the first floor window, and at that critical juncture Inspector Carter came up, attended by constable L 133. The officers entered the premises, and the inspector, in rushing up stairs, had his hand slightly burned, in consequence of some one forcing the door, and causing a considerable draught of air to enter the premises. Fortunately, the police maintained their ground, and the re sult was that all the parties were rescued. The flames mean time continued to extend, until the whole premises, from the basement to the roof, were burned through, and the whole of the contents destroyed. Engines from the several stations of the fire brigade, and from the West of England and the County Fire-offices, were very speedily upon the spot, and the mains of the Lambeth Water-works yielding an abun dant supply of water, the flames were soon subdued, and the adjoining property saved. The fire, however, extended to the premises of Mr. Collins, the Eight Bells, 108, in the road, which were considerably injured by the fire and water. By dint of great perseverance, the flames were subdued by half past one o'clock. How the fire originated could not be ascer tained, nor whether the parties were insured. The police were exceedingly effective in the discharge of their duties, and in preventing idle and other persons from impeding the efforts of the firemen. CHETNOLE.—INCENDIARY FIRM—At about half past ten on the evening of Tuesday last, Mr. Bolloar, a res pectable inhabitant of this place, was much alarmed by dis covering that a linhay adjoining his dwelling-house was on fire. The buildings being thatched, fears were at first enter tained for the safety of the whole of the premises, but as sistance being quickly at hand, a portion of the thatch was removed, and we are happy in being able to state that the fire was confined to the outhouse; which was entirely destroyed. A short time previously to the discovery of the above fire, the summer-houses belonging to Guy Champion, Esq., of Stokewood, situate about a mile distant, were ob served to be in flames, and these also were wholly consumed. There is not the least doubt that these fires were the wanton acts of some villainous incendiary, to Whom we regret to add, no clue has yet been obtained.— Shcr4orne Journal. A RAILWAY " ROLAND FOR AN OLIVE B."-Some little time since the Directors of a certain Company ordered of a certain firm fifteen new engines, introducing into the agreement of terms a condition, that unless ready by a cer Cain time a penalty should be inflicted. The time specified for the completion of the locomotives nearly arrived, but the steam-steeds were not in readiness, and the Company noti fied to the engineers that the penalty would undoubtedly be enforced. Chewing the cud of bitter disappointment one day, the principal partner of the firm beheld a moustached and befrogged individual enter his counting-house, and, being introduced, heard him speak about engines, pointing to some half dozen in an unfinished state in the work rooms. The principal explained the case, observing that however his workmen laboured, the engines could never be com pleted in time; and the consequence would be that he anti his partners wt uld have to pay the penalty. "Oh ! indeed," replied the foreigner in broken English, having first ascer tained the amount of penalty imposed, "be good enough to complete them for me, and I will pay y ou your pr i ce and the penalty into the bargain. I came to England for such engines for the 5 railway." The bargain was struck, and hearing of their loss the company immediately sent down a responsible agent to the same firm to order fifteen more, but he received the following reply to his application :—" Oh no, we can take no more orders yet a bit. The foreign gen. tleman, to whom we sold the others, will keep us in work for fifteen month sto come."—Bury Herald. CAPTAIN O'SULLIVAN.—The numerous admirers of the popular author of " Stories of Waterloo" will be glad to learn that he is about to afford them a further supply of pleasant reading, by the publication of a narrative from his lively pen, bearing the title of " Captain O'Sullivan ; or, Adventures, Civil, Military, and Matrimonial, of a Gentleman on Half-pay." We have every reason to believe that Mr. Maxwell, in no previous work, has been so bountiful of en tertainment, and that it is scarcely possible to imagine a more amusing hero than the gallant gentleman whose story he has undertaken to relate. He is the beau-ideal of a young Irish officer, a gay-hearted, rollicking, fortune-hunting ad venturer, everlastingly i n l ove or i n mischief—clever, hand some,. and irresi-table agreeable, and equally in favour among convivial associates of his own sex as with the most senti mental of his, perhaps, too numerous acquaintances of the other.

CHATHAM, MAY 7.—This afternoon the following detach ments arrived at the Invalid Hospital, Fort Pitt, from India, consisting of 4 men of the 9th Queen's Royal Lancers, and 1 man of the 16th Lancers ; with 1 sergeant-major, 1 corporal, and 13 privatei of the 10th Foot; and 1 quarter-master ser geant, 5 corporals, and 13 privates of the 29th Regiment, with 5 women and 12 children, in charge of Brevet Captain R. G. Mackenzie, of the 50th Foot. ,-- - - The detachments cam e by the — ship Ellenborough, Captain Closs ; they embarked at Calcutta on the 6th of January last, and arrived off Gravesend this morning, and during the voyage, which was made in one hundred and twenty days, the troops lost by death two men of the 9th Lancers, and one man of the 29th. A sergeant's wife, during the passage, jumped overboard and was drowned. Several of the soldiers are blind, and others, upon medical inspection, were placed in hospitals. The remainder were sent to the invalid depot, St. Mary's Barracks, to await their disch arge on pensions according to thei r length of servitude. Troop-sergeant major Riddler, of the A troop of the 9th Lancers, died a few days previous to the detachments embarking. A detachment from the provisional battalion, consisting of 2 subalterns, 6 sergeants, 5 corporals, and 75 privates, march from this garrison on the Bth instant, and embarked at the Sun-pier, to proceed by the Victoria steam-boat for gar rison duty at Sheerness, to relieve the grenadier company of the 65th, which returns to Chatham to join their head quarters. The 65th Regiment, under orders for embarkation for Van Die►nen's Land, by the ship Java, consisting of 2 field officers, 4 captains, 3 lieutenants, 5 ensigns, and 4 staff, 29 sergeants, and 600 rank and file, with 77 women, and up wards of 100 children, were medically inspected this day, and the medical report was transmitted this evening to the Horse Guards. The measles is still in the regiment. The removal of the regiment depends on the report of the Medi cal inspector. THE FORTIFICATIONS AT SHEERNESS. - The im provements now in progress at Sheerness, under the direction of the engineers of the Board of Ordnance, are very exten sive, and are rapidly completing. The Dockyard and lower part of Bluetow•n will be entirely within the forts, and be inclosed with heavy batteries and a deep moat, into which the sea will flow every tide. The water can be retained, and additional security thereby attained if required. The bat teries, when completed, will have a very tbrmidable appear ance. Guns of large calibre will be mounted along the entire line, from the entrance of the Medway to the line command ing the Nore. ROYAL ARTILLERY. —109 recruits arrived at the garrison at Woolwich at half-past 11 o'clock, P.M., from Ire land, having been brought down the river at that late hour by the Niobe, Woolwich steam-packet, hired for the occasion to await their arrival by railway from Liverpool. Permis sion was granted to the landlord of the canteen of the Royal Artillery Barracks to open his house to supply the men with refreshment at 12 o'clock at night. Sixty-six of these recruits are to be posted to the 10th battalion. It is in con templation to add considerably to the accommodation of this branch of her Majesty's service at head-quarters at Woolwich, as the importance of artillerymen to assist at the fortifications on the coasts of this country is now evident, and it will require a number of men to render them efficient. Several of the store-rooms in the barracks are to be converted into dwelling-rooms for the staff-sergeants, and the premises at the present occupied by the staff-sergeants are to be fitted for officers' quarters. The store-rooms above the stables in the Royal Horseorta Artil lery-square are t o b e em pti e d an d ma de into com_bi barracks for the m e n, a n d th e un d er - g r o und rooms a djo ining the square are to be conve r t e d into change store- rooms, ill th th e eniizi,e very healthy ba r r ac k-rooms. being made for the advantage of the menoyli It was anticipated that M ajor company, firs t on sterbofotritfoisrenigot probableserv i ce,n they would have proceeded to will embark for that quarter of the world, as it is in tended to rend out a full company to Australia, in addition to the half company or large detachment already at New Zealand, and the whole of the artillery force in that rising and important colon? , w ill be placed under the command of a field officer. Major Hope's company, being the first for foreign service, is exp ec ted t o proceed to Australia. CUSTOMS.—The officers- employed in this branch of the revenue, as well at the port of London as at every outport and place along the coasts of and throughout the United Kingdom, of every grade and department of the service, have recently been furnished with amended and revised copies of instructions as to the mode of performing their official duties, and the manner in which the several rules and regulations of the department are to be carried into effect, in respect to their particular and individual sta tion and capacity, for the joint advantage of the public and the trade of the country, and the interests of the Crown under which they are privileged to serve. This has been rendered in a great measure necessary, in consequence of the great changes which have been effected in commercial and mercantile matters, either with or without the interposition and sanction of the Legislature, and also owing to the amazing extension of privileges and advantages now afforded to the shipping and mercantile interests, for the furtherance of their designs and the requirements of the vast trade of the country, beyond what was in former years thought of or imagined.

RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY.—The fOrtaa seventh an niversary meeting of the members of this Society took place last evening at Exeter-hall ; Sir E. N. Buxton, Bart., in the chair. The Secretary read a report of the Society's operaticns ,during the past year. It stated that a great and encouraging event had recently transpired in China, viz., the promulga tion of a royal decree authorising the freedom of religious worship. It was impossible to foresee the happy results which would follow this circumstance. The shops, streets, junks, and temples, were now accessible to the Christian mis sionaries. The committee had caused to be distributed at Hong long, 22,000 tracts, and had made grants to the amount of 3931. In India there were twenty auxiliary societies engaged in distributing religious works. During the year nearly 1,200,000 tracts had been printed by these societies, to which the London Society had made grants to the amount of 1,587/. In the Society Isles, 215,000 tracts had been distributed ; in South Africa, 451,000 ; in the West Indies, 105,380 ; in Quebec, 10,000 ; in addition to many thousands in Montreal, Nova Scotia, and Now Brunswick, making a total in British North America of 183,000, in addis tion to libraries formed in some of the large towns. The cit.- culation of religious tracts was producing important results in France. A Protestant tract society has been formed at Paris, the receipts of which during the year amounted to 229,000 francs, and whi c h h a d i ssued 650,000 tracts. VI hble " communes" were now forsaking the Roman Catholic Church and embracing Protestantism. In Switzerland 8,000 tracts had been sent for the use of the Italian papulatic n, and a grant made to the Geneva Evangelical Society. The Bel gian Evangelical Society had distributed during the year 42,000 tracts, and had received from the London Society a grant of 2004 Amongst the other Continental cities where the greatest number had been circulated were Amsterdam, 60,000 ; Stockholm, 50,000; St. Peterzburgla 167,000. The Society's tracts had also been issued in Persia and' other parts of the East. The uumberdistributed in the British Isles aas altogether 2,260,000, at a cost of 2,7611. ; and the total grants to foreign and colonial societies amounted to 450, at a cost of 2,003/. The issues during•the year amounted to 17,571,413, making, with those distributed by the societies abroad, a total of 42,000,000, i n ninety-eight V languages and dialects. The receipts of the Society amounted to 56,110/. The report having been adopted, and several resolutions passed, the meeting broke up. LONDON SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CIIRISTIINITY AMONGST THE JEWS. —The anrual general meeting of the members of this Society, the object of which is explained in its title, was held yesterday morning at Exeter Hall. Lord Ashley was in the chair, and amongst the supporters of the Noble Lord were the Marquis of Cholmondeley, the lion. W. Cowper, M.P., Sir George Rose, Bart., the Rev. Hugh M'Neile, the Rev. Hugh Stowell, and a large number of clergymen. There were also on the platform several children of Jewish parents converted to Christianity, and educated in the Society's schools. The report, read by the Rev. Mr. Ayerst, one of the secretaries, stated that the amount of con tribations towards the general and special fund, net includ ing the temporal relief fund, amounted during the year to 25,581/., being an i ncrease o f 293/ . over those o the previous year. In addition to that sum, 630/. had been received on account of the temporal relief fund, and the munificent donation of 2,6001. from Miss Jane Cooke, of Cheltenham, the whole of the sum required for completing the Protestant church at Jerusalem. The increase of receipts had not, however, kept pace with the increasing wants of the Society, for the operations had been much extended during the past year b y the employment of an additi ona l num b er o f mission aries. Out of the widows' fund there were six widows of missionaries and several children supported. A portion of the funds had been 'devoted to relieving converted Jews when suffering from distress, and providing them with em ployment. The society had distributed 3,683 Bibles, 1,618 Testaments, 2,274 portions of the Scripture, and several copies of English religious works, translated into Dutch and Spanish for the use of Jews in Rolland and Spain. The congrega tions at the Episcopal chapels continued to increase, and on Tuesday last thirty-eight Jews presented themselves before the bishop to receive baptism. Four young students had been sent from the Hebrew college as missionaries to the East. Converts continued to be made amongst the Jewish population in Warsaw, Frankfort on the Oder, Be r li n , Konigsberg, Stockholm, and other large Euro pean cities, and in several parts of the East, i n cl u di ng Jerusalem, Beyrout, Aleppo, and Bagdad. The Marquis of Cholmondeley moved, and the Rev. Mr. Freemantle se conded, the adoption - of the report. The motion was carried unanimously; and also an expression of regret at the death of the late Bishop of Jerusalem, proposed by the Hon. W. Cowper, M.P., and seconded by the Rev. Hugh Stowell. Several other resolutions having been passed, the meeting separated. APPREHENSION OF A FEMALE COlNER.—lnformation having been received by the police that a gang of coiners were in the habit of assembling together at a house in New court, Duck-lace, Westminster, for the purpose of manu facturing base coin, Inspector Penny, Sergeant Brennan and a strong party of officers of the G di v i s i on , p r o cee d e d thither on Wednesday evening, armed with sledge hammers, crow bars, &c., for the purpose of making an entrance and cap turing the delinquents. On their arrival at the house, the officers organised themselves, and made every preparation in the event of attack or resistance. They found the street door open, and, on proceeding to the second floor, they found the door of the apartment strongly barricaded with deal boards, iron bars, and bolts. They instantly com menced operations, and burst into the room, when they dis covered a young masculine female before a burning furnace, in the act of coining. She was greatly agitated, when she seized on a plaister of Paris mould for the coining of half crown piece s, and broke it to pieces. She snatched a ladle from the fire, and spilt a quantity of liquid metal. She then put into her mouth a half-crown piece, and attempted to ~wallow it, but it stuck in her throat.
