The CORONER inquired of Mr. Day, the surgeon, whether he examined the spinal marrow of the deceased? Mr. Day replied that he had hot, as he did not think it necessary. The CORONER said, that although he might be medically satisfied with Mr. Day's testimony, he was not so judically, and he would therefore order the body to be exhumed. An attorney from Brentford, in the course of the proceed ings, said he appeared on behalf of the military authorities; but the Coroner could not allow him to proceed, remarking:, that if he permitted such discussion, his Court would be con verted into a bear garden, a pleasure he had no deSire to r r n e e s y u ' in T e Y d The e ß r a r b e t i l e t f h o a n u t te a u t witness.—( Laughter.) d ho hi l s ia s c e l a c t o . conducted himself with The inquest .was adjourned until Monday next. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER 7'O THREE. There was a good demand for Cotton at Liverpool yester day. Sales about 7,000 bales, of which speculators took 1,000 bales and exporters 500 bales. There was no change in prices. Shares were steady. electric telegraph intelligence reached the City this morning of the arrival of the West India mail, but the lettere will only be delivered this afternoon ; and we cannot add anything to the outline of the news inserted in another column of The Sun. "The advices from India are not very interesting politically considered ; but, in reference to the trade carried on between India and China, and which hitherto, we fear, has been rather too loosely conducted, the following particulars have come to hand from Bombay respecting the movement to the close of 1844 at the three ports of Canton, Amoy, and Shanghai. The Canton trade of 1844 considerably exceeded the maximum of any former year, and, in particular, exhibits a large increase in cotton manufactures and other st aple articles of British produce. The whole import trade of the port for the year employed 306 vessels, tonnage 142,099. Of these 228 arrived under British colours, including 22 from British India and the colonies. Of the remaining 78 vessels, 57 were American and 11 Dutch, leaving 10 of all other countries. This makes tha proportion of Brhish to all other foreign trade in the port rather more than three to one. The export trade em ployed 296 vessels, and of these 228 were British, making our share of this branch a trifle larger than of the other. Of the nature of the imports fr o m th e U n it e d Ki ng d om , some idea may be formed from the statement that of their total value, estimated at 7,860,676 dollars, 4,722,836 dollars are put down for Cotton fabrics, including yarns, and 2,898,86 for woollens, leaving only 138,974 dollars as the value of all other articles. The imports of raw Cotton ar d the other pro ducts of India, and the Eastern countries form an item of 7,645,564 dollars. The opium trade has also, it appears, of ry much increased, but being contraband, can only be guessed at. The imports are supposed to have reached the numerous quantity of 40,000 chests, representing a capital of nearly 20,000,000. The British exports are thus distributed : To the ports of the United Kingdom... 15,400,000 dollars British India Other places 400,000 ~ THE HOUNSLOW FLOGGING CASES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Wmild it not answer a 1 tudable purpose to post placards, with a cut descriptive of these murderous prac tices, side by side with those blue posters headed " Wanted a few fine young men to complete that dis tinguished corps," &c. &c. It would read well, and might be the means of limiting that spider, the re cruiting sergeant, to the number of his victims. I am not against the army, but the internal regula tions of a barrack-room are so utterly debasing—the homage that those striped scoundrels, the sergeants, exact is worse than any Eastern slavery ever you read of— almost beyond probability. Have they not the fear of Mr. buncombe, the Finsbury pet, before their eyes? Should you deem this hint worth naming to him, you will do great service to the poor soldier, and oblige, ONE WHO HAS BEEN NABBED. Bedford-square. P.S. Never mend the compliment of "Field-Marshal his Grace the Duke of" inhumanity, &c. 17,900,000 Our imports consisted, as we have seen, almost entirely of Cotton and Woollen manufactures from home, and raw Cot .ton_and other articles, with Opium (contraband) from India. Our exports, as usual, consisted of Tea, raw Silk, andCasaia. What we took, therefore, was chiefly manufactured, and what we brought away was almost exclusively what may be deemed raw produce." Since these particulars by the writer at Bombay, the trade has received a further extension, though, we apprehend, not altogether one of much profit to those concerned. The Sugar Duties' plan has been an interesting topic of remark here, but in some quarters there are doubts of Lord John Russell's ability to carry it. The Funds from this cause are rather flat again, and there is not much business doing in them. Consols realise 95% % for present transfer, and 95% fur the account. The premium on Exchequer-bills remains at 10s. to 14s. The New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. bring 97% 14, and the Three per ' Cents. 95% to 96. Nothing has been done in Bank Stock. The Foreign Securities have been as inert as ever. Spanish Five per Cents. have realised 24%, and the Three per Cents. 36 to V s . Brazil Stock is worth 85. DaLish Bonds have been at 88%. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, have been marked 591 A. It cannot be expected that there should be much activity in the Share Market while stocks are so dull, and we ob serve scarcely any alteration in prices requiring special notice. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS. From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons.) MONDAY, JULY 20. Messengers from the Lords brought up the following Bills, .o which their Lordships had agreed : Viscount Hardinge's Annuity Bill—Lord Gough's Annuity Bill—Election Notices (Ireland) Bill—Hull and Selby Rail way Purchase Bill—Great North of England Railway Pur chase Bill—Midland Railway (Leicester and Swannington Railway Purchase) Bill—London and Birmingham Railway and Birmingham Canal Arrangements Bill—Spitalfie'ds New Street Bill—Amendments to Kilmarnock and Troon Railway Warrenpoint, and Rostrevor Railway Bill— York and North Midland Railway (Widening and Enlarge ment) Bill, witlout amendment—Ropeworks Bill, xith an amendment—Gorbals Gravitation Waterworks Bill—Pow of Inchaffray Drainage Bill—Sheffield and Lincolnshire Junc tion Railway Bill—Dudle y Canal and Birmingham Canal Companies Amalgamationßill—Cromford Canal Bill, with amendments. UNION BANK OF AUSTRALIA.—The annual meeting c f this company was held yesterday at the offices in Old Broad-street, - J. J. Cummins, Esq., in the chair. The report of the directors was of a favourable nature, although the business done was limited in extent. The result of the year's operations had enabled the directors to add 5,605/. 19s. 3d. to the permanent reserve fund, which now amounts to 45,335/. 15s. 6d., and to pay a dividend after the rate of six per cent. per annum. The improving condition of the colonists had rendered accommodation less remunerative, especially at the New Zealand Branch, but the revival of confidence would soon, it was expected, open a legitimate source for the employment of the banking capital. The balance-sheet showed the liabilities to be 1,027,162/. 12s. 9d., and the assets a similar amount. The profit for the year ending at the branches 31st December, 1843, and at London 30th June, 1846, was 56,059/. 12s. 4d. The reserve fund was now 45,3351. 15s. 6J., and the balance of undivided profit was 44,882/. 7s. 6d. After the report was read, a discussion of no public importance took place, in which Mr. Leiy, Mr. G. R. Robinson, Mr. Isielme, and others took part, when it was adopted unanimously. Three directors were then elected, namely, Robert Brookes, J. R. Todd, and W 1 Wilson, Esqs. A vote of thanks having been passed to the directors, the meeting adjourned. BRITISH ORPHAN ASYLUM.—Yesterday, the half yearly meeting of the governors of this charity for the elec tion of eight children from a list of twenty-seven candidates, was held at the London Tavern; J. B. Brooke, Esq., in the chair. The report for the past ?rear was favourable, both as regarded the inmates and the financial accounts. Amongst the legacies received was the bequest of the late George Bangley, Esq., of St. John's-wood, of a share of residuary property (minus duty), amounting to 9001. At the crone of the election, the Chairman presented rewards, amounting to various sums ' to those children whg have left the institution, and attended with satisfactory testimonials from their em ployers. The business of the day being concluded, thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting broke up. DEATH OF. THE EARL OF KILKENNY.—Died, at Bally conra, at six o'clock en the evening of Thursday, the 16th inst., the Right Hon. Edmund Earl of Kilkenny, in the 7Gth year of his age. Dying without issue, the Earldom of Kilkenny becomes extinct, but the title of Viscount Mount garret descends to Henry Edmund, son of the late [lon. Henry Butler, brother of the deceased Earl.—Kilketsuy Journal. Lieutenant Pearce, many years warden of Woolwich dockyard, but who was superseded by the Metropolitan police being ordered on duty there, died last Friday, at his residence in the Kent-road. The deceased, who had seen great service, was the eldest son of William IV., and was with his Majesty in the actions in America in 1788, where he was taken pri soner, but was subsequently released by a gallant sailor, who shot the man that.had charge of him. SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. WAKEFIELD, Q.C.—We regret to announce the sudden death of Mr. Daniel Wake field, the well-known Queen's Counsel, who was found dead in his shower bath at an early hour yesterday morning. Mr. Wakefield was in perfect health on Saturday, and was to have replied in a cause in the Vice-Chancellor's Court yes terday. SUPPOSED SUICIDE OF A BOY FROM ILL-TREAT MENT.—An inquest was held last evening before Mr. Payne, at the Wheatsheaf, Borough-market, on the body of Jeremiah Doyle, aged fifteen. John M‘Gragh said, that he knew the deceased, who resided next door to him in Grange walk, Bermondsey. On Saturday night last witness met him in the streets crying, and on asking him what was the matter with him, he answered that his mother had beaten him with a poker and kicked him for having hit his sister. Wit ness saw that his ear was bleeding. George W are said, that he found the body of the deceased floating in the river near the steps of London-bridge on Sunday morning. Maria Doyle, the mother of the deceased, denied that she had beaten the deceased in the manner stated, and said that she merely gave him two or three slaps. He was a very sulky boy. The Coroner said, that though the deceased might have drowned himself in consequence of the beating he had received from his mother, she would not be criminally re sponsible for his death. The jury returned a verdict of " Found drowned." Mr. C. Green again ascended in his Nassau Balloon yesterday evening from Cremorne Gardens. He was accom panied by Mrs. Green, by the Hon. Mr. Clifton, and eight other gentlemen. The balloon ascended very majestically, and passed over London towards Essex. DIEPPE, JULY 18.—Sir Denham Norrey, Bart., left this morning, in the steamer for Brighton. Lady Drisdale arrived in London yesterday, by the General Steam Navigation Company's steam ship Soho, from Antwerp, after a fine passage of nineteen hours, against a strong westerly breeze. Le Comte Auguste de Belgrave and suite arrived at Blackwell Pier yesterday morning by the General Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Rainbow, from Ostend. The Hon. Sydney Herbert, late Secretary of War, is soon to lead to the hymeneal altar Miss A'Court, daughter of Lord Heytesbury.— Limerick Chronicle.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE BLACKWALL RAILWAY STATIoN.—An accident, unhappily attended with fatal conse quences, occurred at the Blackwell station of this railway on Saturday night, at a quarter past ten o'clock, to a gentleman of the name of Charlesford. It appears he had, with a friend, come down by the previous train from London, and had gone on the pier to ascertain if a vessel from Rotterdam had ar rived, when hearing the last train depart, Le imprudently ran through one of the side platform doors (without a ticket), although cautioned by his friend not to do so, and before the Company's servants were aware of his presence, endeavoured to jump on the train whilst in motion, but unfortunately missed his step and fell between two carriages, whereby he was frightfully crushed. Medical aid was promptly on the spot, but he expired on being re moved from the p latform.

MILITARY FLOGGING A HOUNSLOW. Yesterday Mr. Waklev, M.P., held a lengthened investiga tion at the George the fourth Inn, Hounslow-heath, touch. ing the death of Frederick John White, a private in the 7th Hussars. which was alleged to have been caused by punishment inflicted under the sentence of a court-martial for insubordination, the principal charge against him being that he had struck his sergeant across the breast with a poker. The Coroner formally opened the inquiry some days since, so that yesterday's was an adjourned inquest. On the re assembling of the jury, he remarked that he trusted, in the inquiry they were about to institute, the jury would at once dismiss from their minds all that had been said and pub lished with respect to the painful circumstance. Rumour had been bus y in con veying what was not strictly in ac cordance with truth ; and he trusted, therefore, that they would maturely and calmly weigh all the evidence which would be adduced. Mr. WAWLEY appealed to the brother of the deceased man as to his age. It appeared that he was born in January, 1819, and that he was consequently in his twenty-seventh year. The evidence with respect to the death of the deceased was then gone into. The first witness called was Henry Potter, who stated that he was hospital sergeant, and that he remembered the deceased man being admitted into the regimental hospital on the evening of June 15, for the purpose of being treated for certain wounds he had re ceived while being flogged. The wounds, which were serious, showed themselves principally on the back, the skin being severely cut in several places. The deceased was al ways considered a man of good health, and had never been in the hospital on account of any internal disorders. George Sparkes, a private in the 7th Hussars (the regiment to which the deceased belonged), was then called and ex amined. He deposed that he was present on the 15th of June, when the deceased was punished for the crime of which he had been found guilty, the punishment having taken place in the riding-school, in the presence of the whole of the re giment. The punishment was inflicted by two farriers, named Critten and Evans, both of them being attached to the regiment. Deceased was fastened to a ladder, which was nailed to the wall of the riding school. The order for punish ment was publicly given by Colonel Whyte, the commanding officer of the regiment, to the adjutant, and by the latter to the farriers, who forthwith commenced the number of stripes ordered. (The adjutant, who had been present as far as this stage of the proceedings, was ordered by the co roner to retire ) Colonel Whyte, the commanding officer, sent in &Inquest that he might be permitted to attend, but Mr. Wakley pe remptorily refused. The witness, in reply to questions put to him by Mr. Wakley and Mr. George Ireland Mills, the Deputy Coroner, proceeded to say, that in addition to the military persons who were called to witness the punishment, Dr. Warren, the regimental surgeon, was present, and stood three or four yards from the deceased man. The "cat" was first taken by the senior farrier, who inflicted 25 stripes out of the 150 to which the deceased man was condemned. The second farrier then took the whip and inflicted the next 25 stripes, and so it continued 'until 100 stripes had been inflicted. The "cats" were then exchanged for new ones, with which the remaining 50 stripes were given. The stripes followed in quick succession, the whole number occupying leas than half an hour. By order of the Coroner the " cats," or whips, used for flogging in the 7th Hussars, were here produced. There were five of them, two being tolerably new, the other three being discoloured with blood. The witness, on examination by the CORONER, expressed his belief that the " cats " produced were those used in the punishment of the prisoner, but he really could not speak with any confidence on the matter. He agreed with a re mark from the Coroner, that the cord of which some of the " cats" were composed was heavier than the others, and with these, it appeared from subsequent testimony, the deceased man White had been beaten. The principal wounds were received between the shoulders. While he was being flogged the deceased man maintained perfect silence, except asking for a drink of water after the first twenty-five stripes had been administered. This was given to him out of a quart pot. When he had received 100 stiipes, he cried " Lower, lower ;" but he (the witness) did not perceive that any at tention was paid to the entreaty. When the 150 lashes had been administered, deceased was released from the ladder, water was thrown on his shirt, which was placed loosely upon him, and over that a cloak. He then walked delibe rately into the hospital, undressed himself, and went to bed. To his wounds lukewarm water and rags were applied. During the course of punishment several of the men fainted, and were carried off the ground. The CORONER inquired of the witness whether the colonel said anything to the deceased after the punishment was in flicted ?—Witness replied, that Colonel Whyte said he was. s t o r e r rn r y e t m h a e t a s h u e r e s s, h o b u u l t d thhaavtethbeeeonffecnomeepeoled f l w t h o ite re l s e o f r t t htoimex no alternative; he was determined, as far as he could, to dis countenance such conduct in his regiment. Richard Cook, Thomas Pigg, Thomas Reilly, and other privates of the regiment, were examined at considerable length. Their evidence went to show that the deceased had been publicly flogged; that the surgeon did not attend him until the day after he was sent to the hospital; that be complained of severe pains in the chest and side, resulting, as they believed, from the injuries he had received ; and that at last death relieved him from all bodily suffering. This evidence was supported by lengthened .extracts, which the Coroner compelled Mr. Sergeant Potter to read from the Hospital Medical Register. The CORONER remarked that a large piece of skin had been cut out of the back of the deceased man, and that he would like it produced for the satisfaction of the jury. Mr. Potter produced it. It was contained in a glass bottle, and had the appearance of a large piece of common leather. Mr. Horatio Day, of Isleworth, surgeon, in answer to a qu estion from the COroner, said, he had compared the piece of flesh now produced with the piece cut out of the body, but that they did not at all correspond. The respective witnesses were subjected to a like exami nation, and said that they had seen the back of White before he died, and that the piece of flesh bore little resemblance to the lacerated portion of his back, which was covered with boils some days before his death. A private, named Matthewson, who confessed having suf fered military flogging, was examined, He expresaed his belief that the punishment of White was too severe. The CORONER inquired what he (Matthewson) had been flogged for ? Matthewson—Why, Sir, I was in the stable, when a sergeant looked through a window, lie "who's there?" I said "Holloa,".and he replied, "Is that the way you o speak tor I a wsergeant."oal t by ho I said a e 4 "I did u.” dnot know he was a sergeant, He Una said, JULY 2 *;.- COFFEE AND EATING-HOUSE KEEPERS' ASSOCIATION. The half-yearly meeting of the subscribers to this excellent institution was held yesterday evening, at Anderton's-Hotel, Fleet sh eet. Mr. Brion - mt.; was called to the chair, and said that he should occupy the time of the meeting but a very few minutes. They were called together that evening for a most important object. They had been convened by circular, as well as by adver tisement, to transact their usual half-yearly business, and also to elect officers for the ensuing year. From this state ment he had no doubt they would consider he was justified in his conclusion, that their business was most important— (Hear) —for could there be anything of greater import ance than the selection of gentlemen who would give up their time to carry into practical operation the views for which this society was instituted. Such were the gentlemen whom they should entrust with the management of their affairs, for it was by these means alone that they would be enabled to raise sufficiency of funds to meet the demands that had been and were still imposed upon them.—( Hear, hear.) The next business:, was to hear the committee render an ac count of their doings since the period when they had been elected, and with which he could safely assert, on the part of hithse!t and his fellow-committeemen they would fuel amply repair!. They would also hear the report of the auditors. After that the election of the officers would take place. There was a very important motion to be brought under their consideration by their tried friend Mr. lingers.— (Hoar, hear.) In giving notice of this motion, the terms of the Act of Parliament relating to these societies had been complied with, the same having been read at two previous meetings. It now, therefore, rested with them to deal with it as they might think best.—(Cheers.) He trusted that upon this and every other subject that might come before them that evening every gentleman who might address them would be listened to with patience and atten tion. There was no other notice, but before concluding he would mention that the sub-committee would be glad to ad vise with their friends with regard to the proposed excursion to Brighton.—(Hear, hear.) The SECRETARY then read the circular calling the meet ing, and the minutes of the last meeting, which were con firmed. The SECRETARY then read the report, from which it ap peared that the funded property of the society was not increasing, as in former years, which, however, could be ac counted for in a satisfactory manner; and that the annual subscriptions, upon which- they mainly depended,. amounted to the same as last year, but a large increase was expected in this source of revenue next year. It also appeared that the committee had resolved to divide themselves into sub- - committees, and with the assistance of the secretary, to try all their efforts to increase the number of annual subscribers, which had been resorted to once in two or three years with considerable success. The report further stated that the excursion to Herne Bay, in July last, had afforded much gratification to their friends, and left a surplus profit of 18/., together with a donation from the stewards of 51. ss. The ball at the Crown and Anchor Tavern had realised 111. l4s. 6d., and the dinner at the Free masons' Tavern 601. The decrease in the particular of dona tions was to be attributed to not having received donations from newspaper proprietors, who would be waited on in the ensuing year. 100/. had been added to the funds during the past year, while the interest on the money invested amounted to 60/., making a sum total standing in the name of the trustees of 1,749/., and leaving a balance in the treasurer's hands of 12/. 2s. 2d., together with several donations. The report also stated that the committee wished to call the at tention of the meeting to the circumstance of their being without a patron since the death of the Marquis of Westminster, but that General Sir De Lacy Evans, after being applied to, had sent a letter to say that he would use all his influence to induce some noblemen to become patrons of the society, and thus retrieve the loss they had sustained. —(Hear, hear.) The committee had referred the difference which had taken place at the last meeting to Mr. Tidd Pratt, the barrister appointed to certify the rules of friendly so cieties, who confirmed the vote of the former meeting, and stated that any person subscribing annually was entitled to vote and speak at their meetings. It was then moved and seconded that the report be adopted, which being put from the chair, was carried. The CHAIRMAN said it now devolved upon them to pro ceed with the election of a president for the ensuing year. Mr. HARE said he felt great pleasure in performing a duty which he was now called upon to discharge, to nominate as an eligible person for the high office of president of their society a gentleman with whom they had been associated, whom he had ever found most diligent iu performing the most arduous tasks, and one who by his zeal and unassuming manner had acquired the esteem and gratitude of their association—he meant Mr. Conneybeer.—(Cheers.) It was unnecessary to add more than that if they elected the gentleman he had just named, he would exert himself to the best of his ability to tread worthily in the footsteps of his predecessors. Mr. CmstArr seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. CONNEYEEER briefly but appropriately returned thanks, and stated that he would do all in his power to ad vance the best interests of the society.—( Hear, hear.) The thanks of the meeting were then voted unanimously to Mr.: Binmore, the president for the past. year, for the zealous and efficient manner in which he had discharged his duties for the last two years. The CHAIRMAN said, he was not prepared for that mark of their esteem ; but for the flattering manner in which his friend had introduced his name, and for the equally flatter ing and spontaneous mode in which it had been received, he felt deeply indebted to both.—(Hear, hear.) In returning them his sincere thanks for that grateful tribute, he begged to assure them that he felt more than ten times remunerated for any labours he might have Undergone in the discharge of those duties which they had dune liim the honour to confide to his custody, and that he would ever look back to that moment with unalloyed gratification and pride.—(Cheers.) He must now call upon them to elect their vice-president. Several persons present were nominated and seconded, but declined accepting the office for that year, promising, how ever, that in their case, should their services be required in an official capacity, that they would act if called upon at the next election. Mr. Chislett was among those who refused, but was ulti• mately induced to accept the office. Mr. HUMPHREYS, the treasurer, was then re-elected, and brialy returned thanks. The committee were then elected, and the five auditors of the past year, with the exception of Mr. Ricci, whose place was supplied by Mr. Jones, were re-elected. The CHAIRMAN said, he had now to call their attention to the last business of the evening, namely, the motion to which he had alluded in the few opening observations he felt called upon to address to them that evening.—(Hear.) That mo tion was in these words.—(The Chairman read the motion, which was to the effect that the pensions of the society be raised, for the males from ss. a week to Bs. a week, and for the females from ss. to 6s. a week. )—This would certainly affect the finances of the society, and was consequently a matter of very grave consideration. But, whatever determi nation they might come to with respect to this matter, he was sure it would in the discussion receive full justice at their hands.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. RoGERS said, they had heard from their chairman that the question was most important.—( Hear.) That was un questionably the case, inasmuch as it concerned them all in dividually; for there was not one amongst them who could fore see what might occur to himself or his family ; and he trusted, therefore, whatever might transpire upon that oc casion would not be regarded in a personal point of view. He would now state the grounds which had induced him to propose this increase in the pensions; but if would be necessary first to mention the reason why he proposed an excess for one sex. The cause of his making this difference was, that, as they were all aware, men, when advanced in life, would require some little assistance in culinary matters; for all of them were not domestic men, and even some of them might have been brought up at sea. Besides, 13/. a year would barely do more than keep a man from the workhouse. He therefore believed that if they gave him 201. a year they would enable him to procure some few of the comforts of life, besides showing to their subscribers their desire to do all they could with the funds at their disposal.—(Hear.) With respect to the females, though ls. increase might be considered very small, yet, considering that their requirements were not so great, and that they stood less in need of assistance than the other sex, from ,their domestic character, he thought even that sum would be of advantage to them, a fact which in deed must be familiar to every one in society.—(Hear.) Looking at the effects of this increase, independently of the advantages that would result to the recipients of their bounty, would it not tend to procure for them that patronage, the want of which they so much deplored? How could they ask for patronage from a nobleman for an institution which had been nine years in existence, and out of which only two persons had been relieved ? He believed, therefore, that the more liberality they dis played, the more would their society increase in prosperity.-4 Hear, hear.) Now, they were all anxious for the increase of their funds, and what better means, if they re garded the subject in a broad and comprehensiv!i could be devised than making those funds flow in their legitimate channel, and disperse them among those for whose benefit they were originally designed. It would have the effect of bringing new members to their society, their funds would necessarily increase, and the further they carried their object still greater would be their increase. He hoped and trusted, therefore, that they would a c t w ith lib era lity an d kindness that night, for they were all born but not buried, and they could not foresee what calamities might yet befal themselves or their families. The resolution was seconded. Mr. HAKE said, he considered that the course recommended by the last speaker would be most injudicious, and so far from having the effect predicted would have quite a diffe rent tendency, and concluded by proposing that the question be adjourned sine die. This amendment was seconded by Mr. FRENCH, who ex pressed his opinion that the small number of subscribers for the past years demonstrated the impolicy of the increase contended for. After a few words from Mr. ROGERS in reply, the amend ment was put from the chair, and carried unanimously. I The meeting then separated. d The lovers of flowers will have an unusual treat at the Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens on Wednesday next, when the Royal South London Flcricultural Society hold their (last but one) Miscellaneous Flower Show. The prizes are on an unusually liberal scale, and, combined with the attractions of the gardens, must ensure a crowded attendance. BENEVOLENCE. —Mr. Alderman Copeland, the trea surer to the King College Hospital, has just received, in aid of the funds for the erection of a more healthy and extensive College Hospital, on a more suitable spot, the singular but handsome donation of three hundred and twenty-one pounds and tenpence, from an anonymous subscriber. The only Big: nature appended to the note by the benevolent donor, was " Anonymous, per E. and F., in aid of the funds for the erec tion of an hospital on a more extensive and suitable scale." Tom Oliver, the celebrated pugilist, and "master of the ceremonies" at pugilistic contests, is now in "durance vile" in Oxford gaol for following his professional avocation in the late pugilistic issue between Gill and Norley. His so journ will last three weeks. THE ROBBERY AT GENERAL GROSVEN 011'9.—At Marlborough-street Police-court yesterday, John Jones, the late valet of General Grosvenor, was committed for trial, charged with having stolen 95/. in bank-notes and a quan tity of jewellery, the property of his master; a woman named Ann Stokes was also committed for having partici pated in the robbery.

The reply to the defence was denied bath in fact and in law, and the question in the appeal was, whether according to the Scotch law there waa such a union of the positive and negative prescription se amounted to a bar to the suit. The Court of Session decided the question in the affirmative, and from that decision the present appeal was brought. Mr. Anderson, and Mr. Henderson were counsel for the appellant, and air.

BANKRUPTCY-(THIS DAY). (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) THE ."IRON TIMES" NEWSPAPER, IN RE HOLT, NEALE, AND SMITH. In this case the bankrupts applied to the Learned Com missioner for an order to stop the sale of the type, &c., on the - ground that the property had been improperly allotted, and that forthe purpose of enabling the parties who had - made the allotments to purchase. The person who had made out the catalogue was the late 'printer, and as there were two projected newspapers in the catalogue, it was intended by. the party to purchase these copyrights and then start them. There wds one of the lots containing 1,000 lbs. of nonpareil, and this was a quantity which only a morning newspaper or the Queen's printer required. The consequence was that the lots would prevent competition, and thus the property would be bought by a few persons who had united together for that purpose. The bankrupts again complained of the fiat being issued, for there was more than sufficient to pay every debt. In the course of five months—namely, from July to December last—the paper had 26,0001._0f advertisements. His HONOUR said that the lots certainly appeared to be very large, but he could not interfere. 7 (Before Commissioner GOUEBURN.) IN BE W. 11. OSBORNE. COSTS TO WITNESSES. —ln the case of this bankruV, who had carried on business in St. J a m es ' s - s t ree t, a Mr. err, a solicitor, who had been subpoenaed as a witness, refused to give evidence unless he was previously paid a guinea. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that a witness so called was to be treated as one at nisi prius, and was entitled to demand his expenses. The solicitor to the fiat said the taxing m as t er wou ld not allow it on taxing the bill unless it was paid under the order of the Court. The CommissioNEr. :said that was wrong; it ought to be understood to be the right of a witness, and, as a solicitor, Mr. Kerr was entitled to a guinea. IN RE JOHN SIMMONDS. This bankrupt, who had carried on business at Wooburn, Bedfordshire, as a corn dealer, came up to pass his last exa mination. The Learned COMMISSIONER, on looking at the accounts, said he perceived there was a sum of 3,0001. unaccounted for out of 9,0001., and the bankrupt had not kept any books. The accountant, however, had very properly not attempted to disguise the t ru th b y p l aus ib le guesses, but done his strict duty, for which he deserved great commendation, and differed from the conduct generally pursued by accountants. In this case it would be impossible that the bankrupt should pass, and his examination would be postponed sine die, with leave, however, to come up on the day appointed for the audit if he could file any better accoant, and paying the whole of the extra expenses incurred by the examination. The bankrupt, however, could now be examined by the creditors, if they thought they would discover any property but there was ne doubt that the bank ru pt h a d been carrying on a losing trade throughout, and could not make out a better account. The examination was adjourned. PERTH and INVERNESS RAILWAY. (THIS DAY.) A meeting of the shareholders of the Perth and Inverness and:the Inverness and Elgin Junction Railway was held at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's-street, to-day, at ten o'clock, under the Act 9 and 10 Victoria, c. 28, for the pur pose of determining whether the company should be dissolved, and if so, the mode of such dissolution. NV. Sprott Boyd, Esq., in the absence of the Marquis 01 Breadalbane, was called on to take the chair. The SECRETARY read the advertisement convening the meeting. _ _ Three scrutineers were then appointed to examine the votes—George Mackintosh, Esq., Alex. Cowan, Esq., and M. Pallavicini. The CIIAIRMAN moved that this company be now dis solved. JOHN STEWA /LT, Esq., of Belladruni, seconded the motion, which was put to the vote, and passed by a show of hands from the majority of those present. The CHAIIMAN then stated that the dissolution would bs effected in the usual mode; that the affairs were left in the bands of the committee, who would wind them up, and take care to have the accounts audited, and reduced to the lowest possible amount. He stated further, in answer to a question from one of the shareholders, that 48,000 shares had been issued, 46,089 of which were paid upon, leaving a ba lance of 1,911 on which nothing had been paid; that the receipts of the company were 115,5391.; that the accounts given in and partly taxed, which he believed included the whole liabilities of the company, amounted to 38,8991., which left a balance in the bands of the company of 76,639/., or about 335. 4 1 / d. per share. Ile said that 30s. a share would 2 be immediately returned, and the balance as soon as the affairs could be wound up. The scrutineers now proceeded to examine the votes, and returned the following result to the chairman—that 24,430 votes had been given in favour of a dissolution, and none against it, which was announced by the chairman accord ingly. A vote of thanks to the chairman was passed by the meet ing, which was then adjourned. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SU2 Sin,—lhe Whigs are again in power. How long they will remain so depends on whether they will alter the fran chise or suffer the freemen to sell their votes to the Tories. Thanks to Mr. Cobden, the counties will soon belong to the Reformers, quite as much as the new boroughs do. In fact, nothing remains for the Tories but the old boroughs like this. The householders here, who are Reformers, have a re gular majority of between 300 and 400, and yet we return two Conservatives. This is the case with most of the bo roughs where there are freemen, and ever will be. Mr. Hutt, the best Member we ever had, was obliged to leave us with his large majority of householders, and so was that excellent man, Colonel Thompson. Indeed, the Colonel was actually defeated by the Chartist freemen selling their votes to the Tories. The freemen, and not the tenants at will, deprived the Whigs of place, and will do it again if Lord John Ruasell do not look to them. The question, I admit, is difficult, but it must be grappled with. I believe the simplest qualifica tion will be household suffrage. Then only the worst of the freemen would be deprived of the rights which they abuse to their own detriment and that cf the rest of their country men, for the better and least corrupt sort are rate-payers.-1 am, Sir, &c.
