Third—lt is proposed that in regard to vessels such as the last mentioned leaving Calcutta, if no pilot join a vessel be fore eight A.M., the• day after she haS produced her port clearance at the Master Attendant's office, the vessel be at liberty to proceed, keeping the pilot's jack flying as long as she is within pilot's water without a pilot, and receiving one as soon as he offers to come on board.. The Chamber recommended that twenty-four hours, in stead of" eight A.m." after production of the port clearance at the master-attendant's office, be the time when the ship shall be privileged to proceed. The Chamber suggested that, should the measure be, authorised by Government, six months from the date of promulgation should be allowed to elapse before carrying it into effect, to afford time to the merchants and underwriters in England and elsewhere, to make any modification in the terms of insurance, which the alterations might appear to require.--I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, (Signed) W.

Committee of the Privy Council sat to-day at the Couneil . Chamber,. Whitehall. The Lords present-were Lord Brougham, the Master of the Rolls (Lord .Langdale), the Judge.. of. the Admiralty Court (Dr. Lushington), the Chancellor -of the Duchy of Corn wall (the Right Hon. Pemberton Leigh), Sir E..H..East, and Sir E. Ryan. made on Sunday, the 30th, to the' , defendant' by the plaintiff respecting the charge - - fee servants.. The plaintiff asked if he should: include it in the bill; and the; deferidant replied in the affirmative; adding, on the plaintiff inquiring the amount he felt dispoied to give, that he .might charge 21 2s. a day y , . By Mr. Justice EarE-No previous arrangenient was made by him with :the defendant to meet. , him at the Boar and Castle. Cress-examined by Mr. M. -CHAMBERS—He was sent by Mr. Higgins, the engineer to the company, whose; house was full, and be understood the party were Lent; to the Boar and • Castle to - remain until they were re- - quired. Ile was one, of the four who first went to the; plaintiff's honse. On seeing him he Stated that they had'been recommended to the house by Mr. Higgins,' and told him 'theY required one private sitting room. Took no plans with him. The ten minutes referred to Were devoted to the plans of the Oxford and Western. line. On the 27th from four to six surveyors connected. with that line came, but those who came first were con nected with the U,ttoxeter line, and were in the employ ment of Mr. Higgins. Those engaged on the Oxford and Western remained abOut one day ; but whilst they remained those connected with' both lines enjoyed. refreshments in common. Never heard that the de fendant had anything to do with the Oxford and Western line. The defendant said if the plans were prepared in, time, with the aid of the Oxford and Western men, that he should divide 501. among them, and treat them to champagne. The wine was ordered, with the consent of Mr. Grey, and it was received, and he (witness) drank part of it. Never heard that the rlaintiff made any ob jection to supplying it. The defendant told the plaintiff not to put the champagne in the bill ,as he should pay that himself, as he did not wish it to be s,'en inthe bill. The plans were incomplete, and full of errors ; they were deposited, but the Standing Orders Committee rejected them. Mr. Higgins had become a bankrupt, and had not paid him his Claim in full. They had a very good dinner on the Sunday, after depositing the plans, and that was the occasion on which they were treated with the champagne.-: , - (Laughter.) He was paid a certain surn per day. by Mr. Higgins with so much for expenses—eating, drinking, travelling, &c. His engagement terminated on the 30th of November. Re-examined—The room they were shown into was the best in- the house, and looked out back and front. The defendant used the room like every one else. The defendant went with the plans to the Board of Trade. Edward Knuttley, examined by Mr. Sergeant SHEA— Became a waiter lit the Boar and Castle on the 29th of , November, the defendant and about , ten other persons dined on Sunday, the defendant occupying the chair. The defendant gave him orders, and said on one or two occasions to him that the gentlemen were to have what they required. He was led to believe that Mr. Grey was the responsible person. Brandy and water, cigars, and slippers for the young surveyors were supplied on his account.—(Roars of laughter.) Cross-examined—Was not in the habit of receiving orders from the chairman, because those who filled that position had frequently nothing to do with the dinner, except in their official capacity. He generally received orders from a wino steward. Many of them had soda water, lemonade; and some preferred gin to brandy. A party dined on Monday after Mr. Grey left. Horatio Knight, head-waits r at the tavern at the time in luestion, deposed that the defendant took the head of the table. He always . understood that he Was the bead of the party. He generally gave him orders. The bill produced was correct, and the charges were those of the house. _ Cross•examined—A bar book was kept by Miss Saunders, the :-barmaid ; 121. 12s. %as charged for the three servants, including the chambermaid. Mr. MONTAGUE CHAMBERS—I am afraid the cham bermaid had little -to do, as there was so little sleeping. Mary Knowled; the chambermaid, said the party oc etipied six or seven beds, which they used by turns; some sleeping in the day, and others-in the night; when one got up another took his place, and She had to make the beds at unseasonable hours of the day and -night. This was the plaintiff's case: Mr. M. CHAMBERS held, on behalf of the de fendant, that he was not liable to pay the demand of the plaintiff, and he should slimi that the surveyors who used the house were sent there by Mr. Higgins, who bad contracted with the company to defray all the expenses of the survey, and those incidental to it. The ordering of the champagne by the defendant, and its ommission from the bill, showed, at his request, that he did not wish it to be confounded with the bill of Mr. Higgins. When the surveyors first went to the house; the defendant was in Staffordshire, so that it could not be held that they were sent by him. The plaintiff himself had admitted that Mr. Higgins was liable; he attended a meeting of his creditors, and claimed the amount of hisbill; so that it was quite an afterthought to turn round and demand the amount from the defendant, and first of all he claimed only 671. Bs. 9d., then the amount for which the action was brought. He then called the following witnesses in support of his case:- , Mr. Boyman; the secretary to the railway, examined by Mr. JAMES—He said Mr. Higgins was the engineer of the line, and received about 1,0001. from the com mittee for the purpose of paying the survey and sur veyors. The committee had nothing further to do with the expense of it. -The plaintiff called on him on the 3d of Deeember, and stated that Mr. Higgins had informed him that he (Higgins) had enclosed his (the plaintiff's) bill to him for payment. The account was received with a letter from Mr. Higgins, requesting a cheque on account of the expense of the survey, Th bill he sub sequently returned to the plaintiff, telling him that Mr.- Higgins was the person to -look to, as he hid contracted to furnish the survey. The plaintiff, in reply to ques tions, stated that Mr. Higgins sent the " surveyors to his house, and that the articles charged were supplied to bis order and to his account. A few days after the defendants called with the plaintiff and, told him (wit ness) that he was very apprehensive that Mr. Higgins would not be able to pay his bill, and hoped that the committee would pay it for him. The bill was given back to him in order that he might make out two sepa rate bills, that the board might know what he had sap plied to the account of Mr. Grey. The whole of the first bill was made out in the name of Higgins ; he made no claim in my presence upon Mr. Grey for the bill. Cross-examined—No authority was given to Mr. Ing gins by the committee to incur tavern bills on their account. Mr. Bickerton, railway agent, of Cannon-row, West minster, deposed to a conversation taking place at Gerard's Hall between a Mr. Hill, the company's solicitor, the plaintiff, and the defendant, in which the defendant offered, him 10Z in addition to the 61. lent, and 3/. for champagne,,to give him a discharge ;, but. , the plaintiff declined to accept it, sayingthat if he took it where was he to look for the balance of his account. Both Flint and the defendants admitted owing some thing for themselves and their clerks. Mr. lllidge, the defendant's partner, deposed to having been present at a meeting of the creditors of Mr. Higgins, which was held at the Law Institution, Chancery-lane, and the plaintiff claiming 1201. from his estate. Mr. Nichol, an engineering snrveyor., Jiving,irt Duke street, proved sending several petsons to the Boar and Castle by Mr. Higgins's order. Murphy, he thought, was one of them, but he did not send him by Mr. Higgins's•order. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Gagent, surveyors, gave. similar testimony. This was the case for the defence. Mr. Sergeant SHEA, in his reply, explained that the different sums applied for by the plaintiff arose from his being induced by the defend aa t s t o b e li eve t h at Mr. Higgins was liable for part of. the ac count, and that finding he could not get either—that, part of it from eithertbat, in short, he had been misled, and that the defenaant was clearly liable—he now brought the action for the full amount of his claim. He held that the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict on the evidence adduced. Mr. Justice ERLE told the jury that they ought to find for the plaintiff if they believed the contract was made between him and the defendants; and for the de defendant, if they believed it was made with Mr. Hig gins. It was for them to say whether there was or was not a reasonable presumption to believe from the evidence, and particularly from the personal conduct of the defendants that he was Viable for the refreshments supplied. . after d l el n ib ti erating about half!ln hour, found a ,T,ehrdeijctur, for the BAIL COURT.-=-(THIS DAY.) • THE QUEEN V. ARNOLD. In this case a writ of mandamus had been issued ordering the defendant to register a certain vessel belonging •to the Pacific . Steam Navigation Company. To this the defendant had demurred, on the ground that the vessel was partly owned by foreigners. Sir F. Thesiger was heard in support of the demurrer, and Mr. Hill iu support of the mandamus. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE in giving judgment, said that the object of the mandamus was to compel an officer in her Majesty's Customs to register a vessel be longing to the Pacific Steam Navigation Company. That was a corporation by charter. It was not attempted to be denied that the corporation was a British one, but the question was whether it was qualified to own British built vessels under the statute 8 and 9 Victoria. It had been stated 'that several members of the corporation were foreigners, and not British subjects, and consequently the vessels did not belong exclusively to British subjects, required by the da sth section of the A c t. Th ese persons , a s individual members of the corpo ra ti on , wou ld no t b e enabled to h vessels register edbody—the ith co t u h r e t ir w n a a s m o es o pais the owners, but being only members of one r corporate body— ve Britishprivileged corporate nion that the presence of some for • etgners in the corpo ration was not a sufficient ground to refuse the regis tration, and the mandamus must therefore be made peremptory.

This was an action to recover 131/. 18s. 9d:, the amount of a tavern bill. The defendant denied his lia bility beyond the,surn of 201., which he had paid into Court. Mr. Sergeant Shea and Mr. Wills were for the plain- titl. Mr. Sergeant SnEA stated the case to the jury. He said the plaintiff, Mr. Thomas Basant, was the landlord of the Boar and Castle Tavern, Oxford-street, and the defendant, Mr. Aden Grey, was a solicitor, and a mem ber of the firm of Messrs. Grey and Illidge, solicitors, of Great Tower•street. Mr. Grey was solicitor to the Derby, Uttoxeter, and Staffo rd Railway, which was thrown out by the Standing Orders' Committee. The action was brought to recover the sum of - 1311. 18s. 9d. for refreshments - of all ' kinds wbi l ch were supplied to the defendant, and to a large party of clerks 'and surveyors, of which he had the management, from the 26th of November last until the 15th of Decemb , r. At eleven o'clock at night, on the 26th of November, several peraons came to the bouge of the plaintiff, and asked for an apartment and accommo dation for the night, representing themselves that night or the next day as connected or employed by the Derby, Uttoxeter, and Stamford Railway Company. They were received, and next . day had breakfast, occupied additional rooms, and denied themselves, during the whole of their stay, none of the luxuries and comforts which the house afforded, and as if they had abundance of funds at their command. On the next day the de fendant arrived`upon the scene, and brought a number of assistants—namely, surveyors and clerks—with him, and at once assumed, from the way in which he con ducted himself, the management of the party. They occupied, four of the. best sitting-rooms and six bed rooms, and they breakfasted, and lunched, and dined, and had refreshments at all hours of the day and night. Twenty or thirty visitors came from time to time, who were invited to take refreshments, and the orders for all werel almost given in every instance by the defendant. The party were engaged in preparing the plans of the railway for deposit at the Board of Trade, on the me morable 30th of November. 5/. ss. a day was charged fen' the apartments, and 2/. 2s. a day for ser vants, and it would be shown in evidence that, the whole of the charges were perfectly correct, and such as were charged in all taverns, and consumed by persons who got free quarters in the way this party did. The defendant had paid 201. into Court and would no doubt contend that he was not liable to pay more than this sum, and that the prOvisional committee were liable and ought to pay it, of whom the plaintiff knew nothing at all. Pro visional committee men who, drank n one o f hi s wine— who did not sleep in . his beds. ' Of course he did not look ,to the provisional committee. The defendant was a respectable man, a member of a respectable house, and a solicitor to a railway, but When applied to for the amount he said, " I am only the solicitor to the Com pany, you must get it from the provisional committee." He borrowed 61 . from th e plaintiff, and gave hi m a I 0 U for the amount, which was cautiously worded. It was beaded " Derby , Uttoxe ter, and Stafford Rail way," and was signed " Aden Grey of the firm of Grey and Ellidge, solicitor to the railway. No doubt he in • tended that the amount of the loan should be covered by the 301. he had paid into court ; but, no doubt, his Lord ship would tell them that if a number of parties went into a tavern and had refreshments, and if one assumed to be the master and manager, and ordered refreshments which were consumed by the party, that he was respon sible, and ought to pay the cost ; that they were all equally liable, but that one person ought to be sued ; and if the defendant considered it was unfair to sue him alone, he must get rid of his sole liability by a plea of abatement, giving the names of the parties who were jointly liable with him, but there could be no doubt that he was the principal of the party, and was clearly liable. The following witnesses were then called : Mr. George Murphy, surveyor, living in the Kent road, deposed that, in November last year, he was em ployed on the Derby, Uttoxeter, and Stafford. Railway, and went to the Boar and Castle on Wednesday, the 26th of November, where he was joined by the defendants on the 27th. He came with others, who were clerks and surveyors. With the exception of about ten minutes be as as employed with him at the house of the plaintiff until the 30th of November, when the plans were to be de posited at the Board of Trade. The defendant was constantly there superintending the work and giving instructions. The numbers there varied from 15 to 30 during their stay. On the first day only one room was occapied, but afterwards three rooms and the coffee. room were used. They slept there, and many of them worked all night, and all ' bad re freshments both day and night. Mr. Grey par took of the refreshments,, and generally occupied the head of the table. If the party wanted anything they ordered it, but the defendant had the management of the party, and sanctioned all the orders. After return ing from depositing the plans on the 30th of November, which was on Sunday, the defendant stated; in reply to . the plaintiff, who made an application to him with re r spect to his aecnnilt, that it should be settled. (The bill 1 correct, with the exception of one item, namely, St. ss. for apartments on the first day they went, but on that day they only occupied one room.) An application was EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) . ' CROCKFORD V. LORD MAIDSTONE. This case; which 'was in part heard yesterday, was resumed this morning by calling Mr. Lawrence, the cellar .waiter, who deposed that the defendant had had upwards of forty dinners, and that upon every occasion he had wine with them, anti, a large quantity of wine was also sent to Bolton• street, by his Lordship's orders. John Hunt, who had lived eighteen' or nineteen years in the employ .ol the plaintiff; • deposed to the fact of the dinners and wine being sent to Bolton street; and al so that his Lordship directed one shilling to be paid 'upon each occasion to the person taking it. He also stated that the lady residing in Bolton-street, whose female servant took in the dinners, gave at Christmas a Christ ', mas-box of five shillings to the waiter,, Mr. Langham deposed to having received frentLaid Maidstone an order for six dozen of sherry. • • „ wer , ' evict of a Ctr ' ' tti4t 4 ltrtf supplied to Bolton• street three years after the peried of his Lordship taking the dinners at the club-house. 8 1 4 lie P 76 12% 12% 8 p EVEN - I N 6, DEC Elti The case for the plaintiff having been brought - to a conclusion, • _ - ; Mr. JA.lams addressed the jury on behalf: of the . .„ 'defendant in a most. eloquent and foreible - speech , co n " tended that his client was not liable to pay in the present .action,. and that. so far from deserving- to experience severe regret, as intimated by his Learned Friend, he was entitled to the greatest credit for having come forward at-the head oftrnuniher of young ,noble men to defend the present actinii, - which was only one - of a number of similar others. It was admitted by the 'Learned Counsel for the Plaintiff, that the house in , question was a gaining-house. ACcortling to the rules of ,the club, persons-who played, : did not py the subscrip tion, nor was it ever intended that it should be paid ; no application had been made for , the subscription during the life time of Creckford,", The jury would not be led away by the high sounding names which had yesterday been paraded before them by his Learned - Friend. The splendid house which Crockford used significantly to style " hiS hell," and over which might be inscribed the language of Dante, "Farewell hope to all who enter here," fitted up with all the allurmentAand fascinations of elegance, was equally a gaining-house in the eye of the law, as any place which was devoid of those extra neous adornments: And if -the. Duke of Wellington or other noble personages should play at unlawful games in that house, he was, in the eye of the law an "evil dis posed person," and was • equally guilty with the poor wretch who, at Epsom or at Ascot, staked his last shilling at thimble rig. " Lord Maid stone had lost immense - sums in that place, and it was as "false as dicers oaths" to say that he did everything there but pay, as -the Learned Counsel for the:plaintiff had asserted. There could be no doubt at all that this was a common gaming -house, within the meaning of the Act. The rules of the club stated that the proprietor should find, at hii own cost, a cold supper, the choicest wines, and the choicest fruits of the season, . every - night. Who then was to.pay for this ? why it was clear that; as at the booths at Ascot or at Epsom, where the young and unsuspecting dupes were called, in to take aglass of sherry-for nothing,-the victims of their fell de signs paid it. Ile would therefore leave the case to the jury, trusting to their good -sense to return a Verdict for the defendant, who had been already nearly ruined by his connexion with the club. - The LORD CIIIEF BARON, in summing up to the jury, said, that in his opinion the house in question was not a "common gaining-house" under the mean? of the Act, there being no evidence to prove it, the only evidence going to'show,that several members of the club did at various times play among themselves for a considerable amount, and that the custom existed to a most deplorable extent. The questions for thejury to consider -were, first, whether they were of opinion that the plaintiff was liable to pay his subscription' of ten guineas as his entrance fee, and ten guineas fur his subscription for 1841 ; and seeondly, whether the dinners, and wine were sent to the house in Bolton-street, end if so, how many, and whether they were sent by his Lordship's orders. The jury retired, and after a short consultation, re turned a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount. The Court was crowded to,exces' during the trial by a number of persons who seemed to take considerable interest in the result. Upon the jury giving in their verdict for the full amount in the above case," The LORD CHIEF BARON said that• he thought it a duty to call the attention of the Counsel in the case to the very loose manner in which the verdict had been returned. The verdict was for . the full amount; but for a great number of the, items, in the bill of demand there was not a tittle of evidence in support thereof. Ile would, therefore, advise the Counsel upon both sides, to strike out from the amount of the verdict such articles for which no evidence bad been given.. The same leek lessness appeared in the jury in an undefended case yes terday, where the jury returned .a. verdict for the full amount, without a particle of evidence in support of the majority of, the claims of the plaintiff. The proposition of his Lordship having been acceded to by both parties, the verdict was entered by consent fur the reduced sum of 54/. 14s. 6d., exclusive of the sum paid into Court. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) LEES V. 'NICUOLSON-SOUTHERN 'COUNTIES UNION RAILWAY. This was an action brought by Mr. Charles Lee, a surveyor, against Mr. William Nicholson, 'a gentleman residing in Manchesterzstreet, to recover 1001., being the defendant's proportion of debt, which, it was alleged, as one of the provisional directoraof the Southern Coun tiea Union Railway, he owed to the plaintiff, who sur veyed the line. The whole bill charged was 3,2501., which had been reduced by . the payment of 1,350/. The defendant pleaded not indebted. Mr. Sergeant Byles and idr. Lush appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Martin and Mr. Atherton for the defence. Mr. Sergeant BYLES having stated the case, called the following witnesses : George Pollit, a - clerk in the employ of Mr. Wells, the solicitor to the company, deposed to the receipt of a letter from Mr. Nicholson, accepting his appointment as one of the provisional directors of the company, and also accepting a number of shares. J. B. Wells, the solicitor, gave evidence as to the origin of the company, and the appointment of asurveyor. The company was first formed by himself and a Mr. Gadsden. They were the company for a short time. Several gentlemen met together at his' offioe, conducted the company's affairs, and issuedi prospectus. There was no regular committee of management formed till the 2d of October. Prior to that the surveyor had been arranged with. There were - eleven gentlemen present at the meeting. The provisional and management com mittees were then definitively appointed. Mr. Sheriff Chaplin being nominated ehairman, and Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes, Deputy-chairman. Power was agreed to fill up vacancies. Mr. Nicholson gave his assent in writing, before these proceedings, to be one of the provi sional directors. He had nothing to do with the actual engagement of Lees. That was done by Mr. Lucas, another provisional director, some days prior to the first regular meeting. Cross-examined—Mr. L ees , th e pl a intiff, was witness's brother-in-law, as was also . th e so li c itor who brought the action. In all there was a b ou t 250 provisional directors; out of which 100, alon g w i t h M r . Ni c h o l s on, gave their consent. About 150 p a id i n t h e i r s h ares .

Mr. Lees was recall e d, an d d e posed to his having been present at the allotment of the shares, and that 100 were set apart for the defendant. It was, he believed, in pursuance of the letter received from the latter. He understood that letters were, sent to all parties t o whom shares were iss ue d. Mr. Jacobs was at that time pro. tern. secretary, and it Would be his business to send the letters. At this time Gadsden bad ceased to be secre tary, having been dismissed. George Adam Jacobs said he was acting secretary in November last year. On the Bth of December he sent out the notices of the allotment to the applicants for shares. They were given to a clerk to be posted. The this s t time,nCapital was fixed a t 2,50 0,000 1 ., but out o f ' a ll th e s h ares issued there wa s b u t 15 0 / , paid up.

W-STREET.--(i'llIS 'DAY.) John Clark was charged on a summons with assault lug William Jolly, under the following circumstances:— The complainant stated that the defendant had made a charge against him of- stealing half a sovereign, which Charge the inspector at the station-house refused .to entertain, on the ground that it vas not a theft, but.a debt, for which: a.summons must be , taken out: The defendant then wcntaway, and he (complainant) followed in a few moments, and overtook the defendant at a short distance. The deft ndant, as soon as he saw witness, ran towards him, and struck him in the face, without the slightest, provocation, witness not having spoken a word, or taken any notice of the-prisoner. . . William Morgan, who was with the complainant et the time, - corroborated this statement. , : The defendant said, that after he had left, the station, he was standing in the street talking with a friend, when the complainant, and his witness came towards him, and said, in a loud tone, "That's the d—d•vagabond who said I stole his half-sovereign." At the same time he lifted his • hand, and attempted, to strike him (the prisoner), but he warded off the blow and struck the complainant in the face. - The person mentioned by the prisoner as being with him at the time gave evidence in support. of this statement. The prisoner's employer, in whose service he had been for fourteen yearc, gave him an excellent character, and said that he was a remarkably quiet and peace able man. Mr. JARDINE said that he suspected, even when the complainant was giving his evidence, that some such ex pression as that spoken to by the prisoner's witness was made use of. These sudden attacks were not made without some provocation, or something to excite the person at the moment. and though the complainant chose to deny it, he himself - believed the witness, that the com plainant called the defendant a "vagabond." Taking this into,account, and also taking into account the pri sonee's previous good character (which, in all cases, had Considerable weight with `him), he would inflict no penalty, but defendant must pay the costs (25.) The defendant payed the costs, and left,tho Court. John Orchard, a drummer in the Coldstream Guards, was-charged with stealing a watch ;and a sovereign, the property of Captain Charles Grimslead. It appeared that, on the 26th November, the prose cutor left his gold watch and a sovereign on the table in his own room, adjoining the guard-room (to .which no one but the prisoner and a corporal had access), at eight o'clock in the evening, when he went to mess. At eleven o'clock he returned and missed the watch and sovereign. Nobody but the prisoner and the captain's servant had been in the room. The prisoner was apprehended on Tucedey last by policeman 17, at a public-house in Whitcehapel. He said that he had taken the watch and and had taken a cab to Ratcliffe-highway, where lie got a man whom he knew to pawn it for 31. The policeman, after leaving the prisoner at the station, went to the lodging of the man mentioned by the prisoner, but failed in apprehend ing him. He - afterwards made inquiries at the pawn broker's, and found the watch which he now produced, and which was identified by the captain. , Mr. JARDINE remanded the prisoner till to-morrow week. SOUTAWARK.-(THIS DAIL) Bearde, alias Donovanot young man, with a cut over, his right eye, was brought before Mr. Secker, charged with entering the Dun Caw public-house, High street, with three other men, for the purpose of com mitting felony. The prisoner, who is suspected of belonging to a gang of thieves who plunder public-houses, walked into the I)un Cow that morning about half-past eight o'clock. They .went into the tap-room and called for a quartern of rum * . and while the bar-maid was serving them the prisoner took an opportunity of slipping unperceived out of the room. In about five minutes afterwards he was seen coming down stairs, and endeavoured to make a ‘ bolt" out of the house, but was prevented. On exa mination of the rooms up stairs, it was discovered that three coats belonging to the landlord had been taken out of his bed-room, and were found lying on the stair case, dropped, no doubt, by the prisoner, in his anxiety to escape detection. His three companions escaped during the confusion of the moment. . When before the magistrate the prisoner asseverated his innocence of having any felonious intention ; said that it was all spite, and that he obtained his living by honest means. _ - A policeman, however, said the prisoner had been frequently in custody, and that he belonged to a gang of thieves who had succeeded in committing extensive robberies on licensed victuallers. The prisoner was committed to the House of Cor rection for three months. lie left the bar uttering loud denunciations against the parties who had given him into custody. CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY,) James Brookes was charged with violently assaulting police-constable •141 G, under the following circum- stances : The policeman stated, that last night he saw the pri soner in the New-road, in company with a drunken female, whom he knocked down and brutally assaulted, and when he (the constable) interfered for her protec tion, the prisoner struck him three times in the face, and attempted to trip him up. When he was taken into custody he resisted violently, and it required several constables to take him to the station-house. Mr. COMBE said he would not, in the present case, inflict a fine; he would take the more effectual remedy of ordering the prisoner to find good bail to keep the peace. _ . . Not being provided with sureties, the prisoner was locked up. METROPOLITAN SEWAGE MA NURE COMPANY.—(THIS DAY.) The adjourned general meeting of the shareholders in the above company was held this day, at No. 7,Waterloo place, Pall-mall, in pursuance of the resolution passed at the meeting held on the 17th September last; J. C. Blair Warren, Esq., the chairman of the company, in the chair. The SECRETARY read the supplemental report, also an epitome of the previous proceedings. The report stated that the directors had great pleasure in meeting the proprietors in their own offices for the first time, and that the applications for shares greatly exceeded the number to be allotted. Since the last general meeting applica tion had been made to the Thames Navigation Com mittee for permission to lay their mains in the line given by the Aet of Parliament, but their applicition was met with a pulite but absolute refusal. The duty then devolved upon the directors of conveying the water by some other means from the. King's Scholars' Pond into the metropolis. After anxious inquiry, the adoption of a tunnel-sewer, to commence at the Parliamentary sta tion, near Kew-bridge, and thence to pass by the public way to .Staines-bridgc , , stanang over. 'the Counter's Creek sewers, was resolved upon,. This plan would be attended by important advantages. It would ,intercept the water ,of. all the lesser sewers of the district, secure an abundant supply in the dryest weather, and make provision for the future extension of the company s works. Large steam-engines in the heart of the metropolis will be unnecessary, the cost of distribution will be considerably less, and mains will pass at once through a district abounding in market gardens. The public thoroughfares and traffic would not be interrupted, thus avoiding the great objections urged against the laying down of 'pipes. In order to carry the plan into effect, the sanction of three-fifths of the shareholders will be required in ac cordance with the standing orders -of tlw 'House of Lords ; and a meeting will be duly convened for the purpose. • The directors have taken the necessary steps to enable them to apply to Parliament for the requisite powers, and, amongst other things, to enlarge the capital by issuing an increased number of shares, Mr. KYRIE moved the adopti9n of the :report, and in doing so congratulated the company on the improved prospect of .their affairs, but regretted the refusal of the Thames Navigation Committee. But he thought that refusal would redound to their advantage. Mr. DEAN seconded the proposition. A PROPRIETOR urged upon the attention of the directors the advantage of the tunnel-sewer over the main sewer line. One PROPRIETOR said he could not blindly go into a scheme under consideration. A conversation then ensued which resulted in its being said that the directors had been guided in their decision by the engineering report, and at the request of several proprietors these reports were read. They were merely a mass of details, the substance of which was contained in the directors' report. After some further conversation, 'the latter was unani mously adopted. . The CHAIRMAN, in conclusion, congratUlated the Company on the stage at which they had arrived, and was glad to observe a disposition on the part of the public to support. them. Mr. BUCHANAN thought the , silt getting into /the tunnel would sink the middle and raise the two ends, and thus produce great inconvenience. Mr. MILNE said it would be their duty to prevent the silt getting into the tunnel at all. They would want the silt for the purposes of their undertaking. A vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and the • meeting separated. WATERLOO BRIDGE COMPANY. (THIS ,DAY.) The half-yearly general meeting of the bridge proprie tors was held to -day, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern. Me, rtEDENELL took the chair at one o'clock. The SECRETARY read the Committee's report on the state and condition of the undertaking. It stated that the tolls for the last half-year, ending the 23d August last, had been 7,6431. 2s. 10., showing an increase over the income for the same period of the preceding year of 294/. 18s., and that from - the 23d of August last to the 2d December instant, the tolls for horses and carriages were 4,805!. 9s. ld., the amount of the corresponding period last pear being only 3,2781. 9s. 6d., which the committee accounted for by the clos ing of Westminster bridge, adding, however, that pre vious to that, and since the refluction of fares, there bad been a steady increase. Formerly the horse and car riage tolls were not more than one-fifth of the foot tolls, but were now more than a half. The committee fur theiinformed the proprietors of various notices which . had been given of intended applications to' Parliament for the erection of various bridges across the river, and for the construction of various railways in the neighbour hood Of their property. The accounts showed an income for the last half-year of 8,2951. 18s. 6d., and an expenditure of 1,117/. His. 6d.. The report and accounts were unanimously approved an d c onfirmed by the prepriet“rg. and the retiring three-, The meeting, after a vote of thanks to the chairman, then adjourned. - 1 - 846 CAPE OF GOOD HOPE • Wo have received private advices and papers from Cape Town to the 10th of October.

We add to our extracts from the journals an official document relative to-the finances of the colony.. (From the South African Commercial Advertiser, Oct. 7.) The principal news Of this week is that Mr. Deputy. Commisiary General Palmer proceeds, to the frontier by the Thunderbolt. fir. Palmer is an able and acti ve officer, and, without ascribing blame to - tbose at their posts in this department at Port Elizabeth, Graham's Town, or anywhere else, it has been felt that, there was a blank somewhere Aicl he is expected to fill - up. The Conimissariat is the real basis of nailitary operations. Powder and ball are not more indispensable than flour ; and biscuit. A hungry horse is as powerless as an empty cannon. This department has been roundly ac cused of ineff i ciency, and there has been much suffering i from hunger and cold among the " levies." But if their mouths were not shut by the form of the service, it is affirmed by their friends that they could make out a strong case in defence, partly by dissproving innumerable - state ments made to their diSadvantage, partly by forward difficulties which their - accusers are either igno- ; rant of or willingly overlook, and partly by Showing an amount of work done fOr which the world would applaud then!, if iialy infOrreed. For- instance, the loss of so many scores of waggons laden with provisions and stores to the enemy was through no fault of their department. The obstruction on the lines.of road, caused first by the enemy 'and then by the drought, must not he placed to, their account. And if it be true, as has been, publicly some .15,006 people have. been, and are still receiving rations from Government, notwithstanding. dis comfiture and drought, this department cannot possibly have been so deficient as individual sufferers may be led to think, or individual, censors to declare. In all wars • there will be suffering on both sides, and the character of the enemy and of the country in the preseat contest is peculiarly fatal to the collection and transmission of stores for troops in the field. The main force of this{ enemy is always in your rear, or on your flanks. lie' yields before you as water before a vessel under sail, but he closes behind yo u i n th e , s a me , manner , an d your march leaves to m ore so lid or sa f e t rac k f or supp li es to follow than a ship does on the sea. In all these con siderations there is the force of truth, yet the fact that the principal officer in this branch of the service pro ceeds immediately to the frontier is universally. regarded as a piece of good news: Arid if he bad authority to take a few hundred mules with him, the news would be better still, as those ;animals are superior oxen for emergencies in Kafir warfare. - 1 Connected with the Commissariat, the latest intelli gence from Waterloo Bay is not altogether unfavour able, but it by no means relieves Government from the duty of surveying the bay, or bight, or creek •at the mouth 'of the Buffalo in the centre, as it were, of the enemy's country; and of the future settlements and forts to be placed, as they now must be, in - advance; for thc protection of the colony. In that place Mr. John Findlay, of this`town;itchored, and remained at anchor for 72 days, in 1835, and landed supplies - within the river itself, without loss or damage to 'a single bag or package. Ile considers - the anchorage • good: Th 9 bottcan . re sembles that in Table Bay—sand above clay. He never shifted his ground all the time the vesscl lay there, atei on coming away he had a good pull to haul up his anchor, on the palm of which there was stiff blue clay. The la) of . the lands and headlands is such that none of the stormy winds blow directly on shore. In the most dair gereuslales the ship'u head can be carried seaward, gnu escape is easy. In northerly gales in Table Bay," and southerly winds' in Algoa Bay, if you Part from your anchors, there is nothing but the beach for You. Mr. Findlay is of opinion that anchoring is always"safer here. and landing goods practicable a greater number of days in the year than itl Algoa - Bay. Such statements from so ex perienced a hand as Mr. Findlay, who knows and has known for more than half a century what bays, and beaches, and bars, and winds, and surfs, and rollers are in every part of the world, but more especially on African coasts, justify, ar rather demand, his Excellency's most serious attention in the present circumstances of his government. A good, or even practicable /ending for supplies at this point in Kafir land, in connexion with Waterloo Bay, is equal, in a military point of view, to a force of 2,000 or 3,000 men, 500 cavalry, and thousands of draught cattle, constantly in motion ; even a much greater force than this has not • succeeded in dragging and protecting supplies from Algoa Bay to the neighbourhood of the Fish River and Buffalo mouths, in time for effective service. A coasting vessel, proceeding from Algoa Bay, may in a few days land at the Buffalo mouth—if it be such as Mr. Findlay thinks it —2OO tons of supplies, which 3,000 oxen, led and driven by some 600 men, and guarded by nobody knows how many armed men on foot or mcunted, would hardly convey to head-quarters on the Fish River or Buffalo, in as many weeks, to say nothing of the.compa rative expense, which would be estimated low as at pounds to shillings. Government may itself cause the Buffalo as well as Waterloo Bay to be surveyed, and experiments made of landing and shipping cargo ; or it may contract with merchants to land supplies at so much a ton, or bag, or cask, on the beach at either of those places, a sufficient force being stationed at the Buffalo or at Wa terloo Bay for protection in the mean time. It may be that landing may be possible at the one, when it is not so at the other, and where such a war as the present is protracted solely from insufficient supplies, no possibility of procuring them can be neglected without incurring blame, amounting perhaps to guilt. Besides mules and horses, if to be had, Mr. Palmer should be authorised to collect, or order to be made, some hundreds of light waggons, or carts, or frames on wheels, on which two or four of these creatures can pull along 1,000 or 1,500 pounds weight of provisions as fast as troops can march, and almost- wherever troops Zan march. This lighter array could often act where heavy waggons with from twelve to eighteen oxen are stopped, or disabled by a few shots from the enemy, to the con fusion of a whole convoy, as at Block Drift and Trom petter's. The Kafirs are now scattered or rather dif fused everywhere, in small parties, for the purpose of procuring food for themselves, and with the design of cutting off. supplies, so as to starve the posts and ad vanced portions of the army, This is their plan. 'ln their circumstances a better could not have been de vised, though with them it is as much the result of necessity as of sciecce. To civilised troops such a foe is perplexing and even humiliating. They are baffled by imenemy whom they scarcely ever see, or see only as he flies from them. The- parties are at present hold ing each other in a state of siege or blockade, and the contest will be determined by hunger at last. Hence the incalculable value of an active and steady commissariat —a commissariat that has resources, ingenuity, inven tion, foresight. -The Kafirs are beginning to suffer front hunger. This is a prelude to their submission, and un remitting vigilance must check their supplies. Indeed, their commissariat stores, wbieh' have hitherto been in the colony, are pretty nigh exhausted. Some more of the chiefs have surrendered at discretion, as Stoek has done. The great chiefs still propose terms—but it is expected that unconditional 'submission will be insisted on After breaking faith and spurning friendship, they must now be made to feel without mitigation • the heavy hand of a master. FINANCES OF THE COLONY. Chamber of the Legislative Council, Sept. 30, 1846. The subjoined minute and estimates of the probable revenue and expenditure for the services of the year 1847, were this day read, laid upon the table, and di rected to be published. WM. HOPE, Clerk of the Legislative Council. MINUTE—FINANCE. Kafirland, Camp near the Fish River Mouth, Sep. 15, 1846. Honourable Gentlemen,—The cause which has de ferred the placing before you of the estimates of revenue and expenditure for 1847 till this unusually late period of the year, and which now prevents me from submitting them in person for your consideration, renders the framing of them more than generally difficult, and necessitates the introduction into some parts of them of considerable doubt and uncertainty. The disturbance in our social system, caused by the disruption of our peaceful relations with the neighbour ing Kafir tribes, and the ensuing war,• will probably affect some sources of revenue, and particularly will lessen the amounts usually received from auction dues, land rents, transfer dues, stamps, and sales of Crownlands. I have, therefore, made an abatement in the. estimated receipts under those heads; and you will find the total revenue available for 1847 to be 155,2351.4 i. 9d. It is impossible to foresee- accurately what items of extra expenditure may have to be defrayed in the en suingf or e ,o 3 ra • e i a t r t eodn suchac co c u h n a t r g o ! f s th fr e orn lia t fi h r e w e s a t r i m ; a l t e h w av h e i , c h t there fore, lay before you, and have calculated the ordinary expendi ture at 161,854/.155. 10d., leaving an anticipated balance at the close of 1847 of 3,3801. Bs. .11d. This surplus will,l trust, be found appliCable to the payment of any unforeseen charges which may grow out of the present war. The notes which are-appended t 6 the several estimates of expenditure for the various departments of the ser vice will explain to you the increase or decrease which I propose in the charges for the ensuing- year, as com pared with those of 1846. The only points on which need specially remark are the following:— The office of lieutenant-governor of the eastern dis tricts is still under the consideration of her - Majesty's Government. I propose, therefore, to retain the item of 0 765/. in the estimate for it , whic h, under altered cir • eumstances, will be applicable to whatever arrangements may be made for the management of frontier affairs. The termination of the treaties with the bordering Kafir tribes will render unnecessary the continuance of the machinery by which they have been made effective ; but as some new chargos are likely to arise in the place of those, Which will never cease, I have inserted Under the head of aboriginal native tribes the item of 2,3111. 10s., which is 1,1541. 9s. less than the estimate of last year. You will understand that great uncertainty attaches to this and the preceding item, which under our present circumstances do not admit of accurate calculation. Under the judicial department you will perceive an increase of 1,0001., for the salaries of the four resident magistrates who have been appointed iti the room of the late special justices, at the rate of salary recommended by yourselves. You will find anew head of expenditure in the present a.; estubliAairviit Of the: British icsulenfs among the tribes beyond the north-east border.

ABOLITIOR OF THE.. PUNISH • MENT. OF DEATH. A pUblic . Meeting was h lastevening - at the London Tavern, Bishapsgate-street, to promote the abolition of the punishment of death. There w as a numerous at teidance, the lar ge room being filled to exCess. Alder, man Sidney filled the chair. Aznongst those present were Rev. Dr. Mortimer, Mr. D. W. Wire, Mr. W. Thorn borqw, Mr. J. Meredith, Mr. H. Vincont , Mr. Flank H. Leuthall, Mr. T. A. Tagg, Mr. F 7. Rickman, Mr. C. Gil pin, Mr. J. W. Greene, and Mr. JoSeph Marsh. The Ch AIRMAN Said 4.194 had i some 'experience of the effect of capital punishapent -upon the great mass of see - kV, and he had tome to the opinion, after the most mature deliberation, that the continuance of 'the system _was not justified ; that it was unnecessary in theapreseat state of society,- as such exhibitions, instead .of ,inculcat ing a deeper moral .lesson, brutalised _those who wit nessed- them: He thought they were, therefore, justifiA 'in demanding , its abrogation from.. the Legislature, - or,. at least, its suspension; for seven years,—(Llear, hear.) Not - many years. ago, from i 150 to 200 offenceS were punishable by death, but_sinee the extreme penalty of the law had-bon abolished. with respect to all, save the crime of murder, not only had those'crimes diminished -in magnitude, but in numbers. On the grounds of expediency, morality, and, above all, on the higher ground of Christianity, they were per fectly justified in calling on the Legislature to abolish it. 'The omniscience of the law was often vaunted .but lie had the authority of Sir Fitzroy Kelly for stating that during the last few, years fifteen innocent persons had heen hung--- 7 -how many more might have died whose innocence it might not have been in the power of man to trace ;. it was impossible to tell. The commandment, !‘ Whoso sheddeth man's blood by man shall his blood be shed,"l was susceptible of afore meaning than the one generally received ; but he could not go to the length of stating that it was wholly un, justified by scripture. • • - • Mr. D. W. WIRE eloquently dealt with.the scriptural Ajectitms to the abolition nf .tha. punish meni of death, and held that there was no authority in the. Scriptures to justify such vindictive justice. Eveti if the Scriptiiiit gave the power to inflict it where it was found - beyond doubt that the great end of punishment—the reform's , - den .of •the criminal was destroyed; and no example 'en forcid, it was wholly unnecessary to_ continue it. The time was coming on when juries would shrink with re' pugnance from finding men guilty of '.reurder on tic count of the punishment. He qtioted 'the - opinion of Alderman - Harmer, to show this reluctance to con vict on the part of juries, who were .glad to find oat any crotchet through .clisch "they might acquit him: If the punishment was exemplary, why nut, •to quote froM Punch, bring all the charity schtials and children to i)ehold tt ?—(Oheers,) Example torsooth ! it had bten "ascertained that out of 164 executions which had taken place, 162 of the malefactors had witnessed capital punishments. It rather stinaulated than deterred. Thieves knew that murder Was the only crime visited aith the extreme penalty of the law, and abstained tromit ; but when robbery was so punished they 'hul. (feud to screen their crimes. —(Hear.) Thousands of punishments might be adopted more severe than the punishment of death.—(Hear.) If a man were imprisoned for life—if his, name . and . -memory were blotted out—he would be livin g, a terrible example to others. In Tuscany and Belgium capital punish ment had been abolished with excellent effect.—(Cheers.) He concluded by moving a.resolution to the effect that the punishment of death is opposed to the spirit of Christianitythat it does not answer its deSign—that its effects are demoralizing—that it sometimes involves the,destruction of the innocent by judicial process, and at others favours the escape of the guilty, thus foster‘ ing the crime it was meant to suppress. The Rev. Dr. MORTIMER seconded- the motion. He referred to an assertion made by Lord 'John Russell, that the treatment of criminals was a problem yet to be solved— : and contended that capital punisbmeht was op posed to the true interpretation of the holy Scriptures —that it cut off a sinner in the. Midst of his sin —fhat it gave him no Opportunity for true repentance, and was opposed to the very essence of punishment which ought to be remedial and not vindictive. As the treatment of prisoners was yet a problem, there was no reason that solitary punishment should be alone adopted. There was great reluctanCe in juries to find persons concerned in fatal duels guilty on account of the penalty, but if there was a minor punishment the reverse would occur. The same might be said with respect to the crime of infanticide, as nineteen out of every twenty charged with this crime are acquitted of the higher and found guilty of the minor offence. Mr. HENRY BROOKS proposed an amendment to the effect that the meeting deeply deplored and commiserated the distressed condition of the people, and considered that capital punishment ought to be abolished, but the meeting, with but one dissentient, voted the first part of the amendment irrelevant to the•object for which the meeting had been called. Mr. HENRY VINCENT submitted to the meeting a petition to the Legislature, praying for the abolition of capital punishment. He held, in a speech' replete with fervent eloquence, which was listened to and received with great applause, that the scriptures did- not justify the taking away of human life—that Christ 'did 'not come to the earth to preach revenge—to strike blow for blow, but mercy and forbearance, and it was pious in fallible man to step in between the created and the Creator, instead- of allowing the '.lO - 411 to "l 'e his, natural period" and to meet hi s ' G o d; and to receive sentence at His hands. Murderers were notterrified by the punishment which would be inflicted upon theta' if they were discovered and found guilty. The actuating' principle was the fear of detection. He drew a vivid picture of the neglected outcaA, children of London; time children of the•depraved and the criminal, being led by curiosity to an execution, and of being thus perverted and brutalised, -and fitted for the course of life. which their parents were pursuing. There was a strong Wand growing feeling in favour of the abrogation of 'capital punishment, and the people, if they spoke out, would have their wishes complied with. Lot. them continue to agitate, and let them take 'Lord John Russell at hiS word, and teach him how to solve the probleur of 'al- . minal punishment. Mr. a. MILLER seconded the adoption of the petition,' which was unanimously carriod. A vote of thanks having been passed to the Chairma4,' which was suitably acknowledg•ed, the numerous asseit! 'olage separated. . - CAPTAIN WARNER'S LONG RANGE. PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 2.—The ex , -eriments with Mr. Warner's apparatus for destroying ships or other objects,. at a " long range,"- have been tried, and, as was e2c 7 . petted, terminated in their total failure. . . The officers selected by Government were _Captain. Chads, C. 8., Colonel Chalmers, R.E:, and 'Colonel, Dundas, R.A.
