Lord JoUN Russeen declared it to be the determination of % ;rovernment to annihilate this system of vagrant inqui isition, because his col leagues coincided with him. in regarding such and an mea suresinterrup- tion to " as tuhseelespseaacned. um je , cenary, " "Re confessed that they had arrived at that, resolution from having carefully deliberated the ope ration of so obnoxious an enactment; that they - were impelled to make an im mediate announcement of that resolution from the circumstance of the Loecl-Lieutenant of Ireland having declared himself fuJiy prepared to undertake the government of the sister country without FliCh tyrannical end superfluous assistance; and that they were satisfied no pernicious consequences would result from such an. abolition, especially as the recent returns have displayed a very consider able diminution of the dreaded offences. It is im possible not to rejoice in :a determination so gene rously conceived and so valorously avowed. The Arms Bill may now be numbered among those blundering pieces of legislation which have retreated into oblivion proportionately with the advancement of civilisation. If remembered at all, it will only be remembered as another of the melancholy bygones of an ignorant and pusillaramove tyranny. Intimately associated with this most important withdrawal was the Mireisterial announcement as to the distress at present existing in Ireland. On Satur day last we took r ,ceasion to particularise the various indications of •Zieficiency in provisions, and upon the vegetable contagion which is now scorching up 111',0 A r e oisonous pulp the leguminous food of the pc,- 1 pulrAtion. Extravagant and exaggerated as the de scription might have appeared, appalling as were the details, dismal as was the general picture, our state ments have been fully corroborated by the declara tions of Lord JOHN RUSSELL. The pestilential disease which last season infected the potatoes has re-ap peared at a much earlier period than on the for mer occasion, it has extended itself much wider over the crops, and has developed itself much more vio lently than heretofore. It withers the foliage into an unsightly and pestiferous rottenness —it cor rupts the very core of the tubers —it causes foul and intolerable exhalations to rise from the soil—it deprives thousands of their natural nourishment, and produces fever and cholera, as well as penury and famine. As to the authenticity of this account, the letter of Colonel JONES to Mr. Under-Secretary REDINGTON, must be regarded as a conclusive testimony. "The conclusion on my mind," says he, "is that the potato crop is unfit for human food to the extent of three fourths !" In introducing this matter t 0,,, the attention of Parliament, the Premier took occasion to enume rate the various extraordinary measures adopted by the late Government for the alleviation of the suffer ing consequent upon the previous emergency. We have ourselves already catalogued those measures, and, consequently, any recapitulation is altogether superfluous. Excellent, however, as were the proceedings of the Peel Administration during that important juncture—the importation of Indian corn, the presentments for the purpose of public works, and the bounties on several imminent occa sions—Lord J. RUSSELL acknowledged himself un prepared to resort to any arrangements of the same de scription, considering them, as he did, only authorised by moments of extreme and alarming difficulty. The purchasing of provisions in foreign mar kets from the resources of the Treasury was, to his thinking, a precedent likely, if continued, to prove most pernicious to individual enterprize, and calculated to disorganize the system of commerce generally. In like manner, he considered that espe cial grants for the prosecution of public works would have an effect detrimental to the national interest, be cause the labouring classes would abandon their private employers to seek occupation under the patronage of the Government officials. For these reasons, and from a moral conviction " that the prospects of the potatp crop are even worse and more distress ing than they were last year," Lord Jour; RUSSELL deemed it advisable to endeavour, by some rational and systematic arrangement, to overcome the difficulties which were promised for the ensuing winter. He proposed that public works should be undertaken, but that the expenses of those undertakings should be defrayed by loans, to be repaid by the barony or county wherever the baronies or counties were sufficiently affluent to meet such requisitions. He proposed, moreover, that in the case of such districts as were so destitute as to preclude the possibility of such repayment, the charge of undertaking works for the employ ment of the poorer class, should be covered by a sum of 50,0001., proposed to be granted for that pur pose by especial Act of Parliament. There are sundry details in this proposition, such as the interest upon the moneys borrowed from the Treasury being simply 3i per cent., the summoning of a barony session and a county session, by command of the Lord-Lieutenant, the obligation of that session to find adequate employment for the necessitous, and the levying for the purpose of repaying these advances being made according to the valuation or assessment of the county, so that the more indigent classes of occupiers might be relieved from assessment; but those measures, while they modify the application of the plan, are merely the filling up of the outlines. The proposition is, in short, nothing more nor less than a demand for a description of extraordinary poor-rate, and one which, considering all circumstances, is fully and especially justified. As a means of binding the whole complication of these arrangements together, a multitude of com missariat officers will be scattered throughout the island in direct and constant correspondence with Sir RANDOLPH ROUTH, the Chief of the Commissariat Department in Dublin. The Irish population will be grateful to Govern ment for so immediate and earnest a response to their supplications for assistance. And we are unhappily convinced that the scheme of Lord JOHN RUSSELL is in no respect premature, as it is not difficult to per ceive the shadows of famine and pestilence now im pending over Ireland. Previous to going into a Committee of Supply last night Lcrd G. BENTINCK called the attention of the House to the subject of the carrying trade between this country and the Spanish colonies. It is un doubtedly a question of grave importance to the ship ping interest; and, although we totally disapprove of the means suggested by the Noble Lord for accomplish iig the desired object, we must admit that if the sub jects with which he has recently so often taken up the attention of the Legislature, and the end and object of his speeches, were as valuable to the country as that last evening brought forward, his absence from his accustomed relaxation and amusement on the moors would not be so deeply to be regretted by the nation. A new broom, it is said, sweeps clean, and Lord GEORGE is unwilling that anything should remain unenlightened by his wisdom. In his new capacity, as a statesman, he ex hibits the same activity and desire for full occupation that he formerly did as a sportsman. Race meetings are neglected ; the moors are de serted, while Lord GEORGE rehearses a variety of figures, which being far beyond the comprehension of the greater number of the gentlemen who have selected him for their leader, are, of course, supposed by them to be something very profound indeed. They are quite willing to take " Onine ignotuin pro magnifro," and to suppose that the man who has so fully succeeded in puzzling themselves, must be quite competent to fill the post of Prime Minister, or Chancellor of the Exchequer at the very least. Lord GEORGE cannot, however, get rid of his affec • tion for the old system, his horror of free trade; he can see no way of setting aside the restrictions affecting our commerce with Spain, save by the adoption of similar measures on our own part; he cannot conceive that a juster and a wiser mode of proceeding on our part will probably be met in a similar spirit by Spain• lie cannot see that hitherto sugar, the principal staple production cf the Spanish colonies, has been practically excluded from the English market by the high differential duties. Our own policy towards Spain has been one of restriction; and it is little to bo wondered At if a corresponding system has grown E SUN, LONDON up in her colonies. Now, however, happily a dif ferent course has been adopted. The Sugar Duties Bill last night received its third reading in the House of Lords, and, on receiving the royal assent will, in a few days, become the law of the land. Much benefit must result therefrom to Spain ; and there is every reason to suppose that we shall, in return, receive some concession for the advantages thus afforded• The moment we take the produce of these colonies in exchange for our manufactures, every encouragement will be given to induce British vessels to come for that produae. This was the real rea son why the American vessels were freed from the disadvantages, the higher rates of duties, to which the British were still subjected. Every American vessel taking a cargo into the Havannah received in return a cargo of sugar, and thus there was a mutual advantage obtained from the traffic by both Spaniards and Americans. This, however, was not the case with England. We wished to have a market for our own goods, but were not satisfied to yield reciprocal be nefits. Now the conciliatory policy has been adopted, and we doubt not that ere long the effect will be apparent to all. A system of retaliation is vicious in principle, and productive of the worst re sults. It is calculated to impede and injure com merce. Perfect and entire freedom of trade is what is wanted by our; mercantile men, and that is incom. patible with measures of restriction cr retaliation. I is not because one nation adopts foolish or inconsi derate rules that we are to do so likewise. The error of our brother is no reason why we ourselves should fall into a similar one. England has lately decided, by an overwhelming and triumphant majority both of the Legislature and the people at large, that duties are no longer to be levied for purposes of protection, or of fostering and sustaining monopoly, but merely for the sake of revenue. We must not run counter to that wise policy ; we must not do evil that good may follow_. Retaliation, as stated by Lord PALMERSTON, may pos sibly prove successful, but, at the best, it is a bad method of curing the evil, and it is far, very far, from being a certain one. Should the other country, in place of at once yielding, adopt an attitude of defiance or obstinacy, the consequences may be very injurious to ourselves. That which took place with respect to Naples some time time since affords a valuable lesson to statesmen of the impolicy of such a course. When we resorted to retaliation by imposing a high duty on her oil, be cause she, did not do as we expected, it had no effect, but, on the contrary, it subjected our manufactures to such inconvenience that we were obliged to retrace our steps, and to abstain from collecting that duty— not a very dignified course for the British Govern ment, it must be admitted. We are, therefore, sin cerely gratified at the statement made by the Foreign Secretary, " that the Government were not prepared to resort to the retaliatory policy in regard to foreign commerce, but that, at the same time, they would do heir best to place the commercial relations of the ;wo countries on the most satisfactory footing." Letters from Rome of the Bth state that the POPE grants audiences once a week in the Quirinal Gardens to persons of every class of society. Cardinal MAT TEL, the late Under• Secretary of State, has been in triguing against the system of reform adopted by his POPE. On Cardinal Gun taking possession of his office he found replies from several provincial autho rities to official letters by Cardinal AIATTEI, in which, after deploring the amnesty, he recommended them to put an end to the public rejoicings. Had such an official intrigue been discovered against the Government of the "good old times," the intriguing cardinal would most infallibly have been sent to the Castle of St. Angelo. Thanks, however, to that spirit of liberality, the existence of which Cardinal MATTEI so much laments, the intriguer has in the present in stance been permitted to escape without punishment. According to the Gazette of Aix la Chappelle, the Grand Duke of OLDENBURGII, as well as the Princes of GLUCKSDURG and AUGUSTENBURG, have pro- ;ested against the letters patent of the King of DEN DaAim, regulating the succession to the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. On the subject of the Duchies, we find the following in the Swabian Mer- cury, dated Carlsrhue, Aug. 11 : " - In the sitting of the Chamber of the States, to-day, Deputy Kecker demanded whether any steps had been taken by the Germanic Diet, in consequence of the letters patent of the King relative to the succession to the Duchies, and whether a handful of Danes will dare to defy Ger many. He designated the letters patent as a coup detat against the rights of the Duchies, and as tending to compro mise their existence. He then moved an address, praying the Government to act energetically with the Diet, that the integrity,:of the Duchies should be maintained. M. D'ltzstein declared that Germany should interfere, and not allow itself to be partitioned like Poland. Mr. Bearden said that France had declared in favour of Denmark, and Russia against her, but not in the interest of Germany. England had made no declaration, but Prussia, Hanover, Saxony, Watemburg, and Bavaria, had declared against the letters patent. "The proposition of Deputy Kecker was unanimously adopted." The following convention, concluded on the 6th of July, between Denmark and Prussia has been ratified by the respective Governments : "Art. 1. The stipulations of the treaty of commerce be tween the two contracting parties, concluded in June, 1818, shall remain in full vigour until July 1,1857, with the modi fications hereinafter contained. " Art. 2. The stipulation of the 3d article of the said treaty of commerce shall not apply to traffic on the coast, the con tracting parties reserving to themselves the right to regulate such transactions by special clauses. " Art. 3. In the trans-Atlantic colonies of Denmark Prussian vessels and cargoes shall be admitted on the conditions enjoyed by the most favoured nations. The same conditions shall apply to the islands of Ferroe, Iceland, and Greenland, within the limits prescribed to other nations. "Art. 4. It is agreed that during the continuance of the present convention of the Sound and Belt dues, published on Jan. 1, 1842, accompanied by the regulatory clauses, shall be applied to Prussian vessels and to their cargoes, in such a manner that the trade and navigation of Prussian subjects, as far as concerns those dues, shall be treated according to the terms of the said tariff. Prussian subjects are to be always treated as those of the most favoured nations, and it is agreed that any reduction of the above-quoted tariff which may be hereafter made to any nation, shall also be made in favour of Prussian subjects. " Art. 5. In the navigation of the canal of Schleswig Holstein, and by the Eider, Prussian ships and cargoes sha . be placed on the footing of the most favoured nations. "Art. 6. The Danish Government engages to facilitate promptly as possible the clearing of Prussian vessels in Sound and the Belts, and to prevent any unnecessary delay, without, however, departing from the usual plan of clearing the vessel in the rotation of their arrival. " Art. 7. The regulations of the navigation of the Elbe shall continue as set down by the conventions of June 23, 1821, and April 13, 1844. "Art. 8 confirms the provisions of the former treaty with regard to vessels entering ports by stress of weather or other causes, and not landing their cargoes. " Art. 9 relates to the identification of the nationality of the vessels of the respective states of Denmark and Prussia. " Art. 10. Prussian vessels entering the Sound or the Belts for the Baltic, and which are bound to a Prussian port, with out entering into a Danish port, may pass without being subjected to any quarantine. " Art. 11. The present convention shall remain in force and vigour until July 1, 1851, unless a notice of six months be iven by one of the contracting parties." Madrid papers of the 11th have arrived. The Espanol gives currency to a rumour that Mr. BULWER, the English Minister, had read to M. ISTURITZ, the Spanish Prime Minister, a note from Lord PALMERSTON, declaring that England would not support any other candidate for the QUEEN'S hand than Don ENRIQUE. The Heraldo, however, denies the truth of the statement made by the _Espanol. Don FRANCISCO D'Assis was expected at Madrid on the 12th. It is reported that the differences between Spain and Portugal have been arranged. Portugal has undertaken to remove the Spanish refugees to depots in the interior of the country, and Spain has with drawn her troops from the frontier.

Extraordinary measures are being taken by the present Government to alleviate the misfortunes, to conciliate the population, and to meet the many im portant exigencies of Ireland. Never did the legis lators of Great Britain evince a greater readiness to ameliorate the sorrows of that afflicted island. What Sir ROBERT PEEL so earnestly recommended in his farewell address t;)rrns the guiding principle of the succeeding Administration in reference to Irish legis• lation—lreland is henceforth to be governed as an integral portion of the United Kingdom. The re membrance of the iniquitous and coercive policy of many centuries is to be obliterated by a policy of justice and leniency. Our readers have already observed that the Arms (Ireland) Bill—a Bill which has continued in almost un interrup!ei operation during nearly two hundred years, rumely, since the Revolution of 1688—has been sud denly withdrawn by Lord JOHN RUSSELL. Every one will have recognised in the abolition of that antiquated specimen of despotiAn, tile dawning of fresh benefits across St. George's ChanAel ; and every one will, in j TUESDAY EVEN ING,' AUGUS:rI 13, 184 OPENING OF THE FRENCH CHAMBERS. PARIS, MONDAY, AUG. 17. At one o'clock the King opened the session of the Chambers by the following speech : " Gentlemen, Peers, and Deputies, " I experience a lively satisfaction at seeing yr , u assem bling around me with so much eagerness. At the usual period of your labour I shall communicate with you respecting the internal and external affairs of the State. At present, in convoking immediately the two Chambers, in -compliance with that charter, in summoning the Peers appointed since last session, and the Deputies, whom France has just honoured with her suffrages, to take the oath before me, I am anxious that you should receive at the same time the assurance of my active and unchangeable devotedness to our country, and of my confidence in your sentiments towards me and my family. " I learned from my earliest youth to love and serve France. Called to the Throne by her wish, for the sal vation of her liberty, I devoted my existence to the regular maintenance of her institutions, and to the peaceable development of her prosperity and grandeur. 'Chere is no trial that I am not prepared to submit to, and that I shall not endure, in order to attain an object io dear to my heart.' Pros idence, I hope, will permit me, with the co-operation of the Chambers, and the national astent, to insure the success of that patriotic labour. _ _ " Aly children and yours will reap its fruit, and, if France, free and happy, retain an affectionate recollec tion of our common efforts, it shall be, Gentlemen, our brightest and noblest reward."

The latter he omitted to do in July last, and gave no account of the money he had received from one of the customers, with the embezzlement of which he was now charged. The payment of the money to the prisoner having been proved, and the witnesses cross-examined by Mr. Ballantine, who appeared on the part of the prisoner, The COMMON SERGEANT summed up, and The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. UTTERING A FORGED ORDER.—James Russell, a lad, ap parently about 15 years of age, was indicted for uttering a forged order on the 23d of July last, with a view to obtain goods fraudulently. Mr. CLARKSON, who appeared on the part of the prosecu tion, stated the case. The cffence with which the prisoner stood indicted was very common, and one from which re spectable persons in business had suffered very severely. The prosecutors, Messrs. Ellis and Co., who carried on a respect able business, had amongst their customers a gentleman named Owen, who was also in business in Great Coram street. On the day in question the prisoner came to the shop of Messrs. Ellis and Co. and presented an order, which purported to be from Mr. Owen, and which was as follows: " Gentlemen—You will oblige me by sending by the bearer a piece of satin of each of the enclosed patterns, each piece not to exceed in price 4s. " D. W. OWEN." These facts having been proved, the prisoner, who was called on for his defence, said that he had been the dupe of another person, with whom previously he had had some acquaintance, and who met him on the day in question, and represented himself to be in the employ of Mr. Owen. This person gave him the order, which he told him he had just received, and desired him, as soon he had obtained the goods, to meet him at a place which ho speci• tied. He was quite innocent of any intention to commit the crime with which he was charged. The ComstoN SERGEANT summed up. lie 'Said the points which the jury had to try were, whether the prisoner had presented the order in question, whether that order was forged, and whether the prisoner at the bar was cognizant of the latter fact. The two first had been clearly established ; and he thought that there was little credit to be attached to the statement of the prisoner. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty ; and, it appearing that the prisoner was well known at the Court, he was sen tenced to be transported for seven years. BOW-STREE 1.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Robert Oliphant, the son of Mr. James Oliphant, army accountant, was charged with an assault upon Mr. Dimand, partner to Mr. Eisenberg, the " chiropodist. Mr. Dimand, who is a foreigner, and spoke with great difficulty, stated that the assault arose out of a dispute in respect of some money borrowed by the defendant in the name of his father, for - payment of which he applied to the father yesterday. Mr. Oliphant sent a message to him, desiring him to go to his (Mr. Oliphant's) office, and to wait there for him. This he refused to do; but Mr. Eisenberg, who was with him at the time, went to the office. Mr. Oliphant again sent a message to him to go to the office, and he did so. On his entering the office he found Mr. Eisenberg there, with the defendant and his brother, Mi. Henry Oliphant, who both " began to abuse him," and called him a " scamp," " rascal," " vagabond," &c. Ilc turned to Mr. Eisenberg and said, " Let us leave these blackguards, and go away;" upon which the defendant rushed up o n him and struck him a violent blow on the mouth, which hurt him very severely, and drew blood. A police• man was then sent for, and took the prisoner in custody, while witness left the office and went to the nelrest surgeon's. —(The witness's mouth was very much swelled.) Mr. Eisenberg said that, on his entering the office, he found the defendant and his brother there. The latter asked him how Mr. Dimand dared to go and talk to his father about the money he had lent his brother ? And the de fendant said—" If he comes down here we will knock hint down ; and if I do it I'll dash his brains out ; he shall not walk out again; he shall be carried out." Mr. Henry Oliphant either said the same thing, or " assisted the de fendant to say it," but witness was not quite sure. When Mr. Dimand was heard coming down stairs to the office tie defendant and his brother both said Here be is; we'll do for him :" and on his entering the office the defendant com mitted the assault described by Mr. Dimand. The defendant admitted that he struck the complainant, but denied that the circumstances were as they had been described by him and Mr. Eisenberg. He said that when Mr. Eisenberg entered the office he (defendant) complained of the conduct of Mr. Dimand in going to tell his father about a debt which he had contracted, and said," The dirty little devil deserves to be kicked out of the office." Mr. Di mand, on coming into the office, called his brother (Mr. H. Oliphant) " a blackguard," of which he took no notice, but defendant said, " I would not let him call me a black guard, I would knock him down if he did so." The com plainant then turned to him and called him a blackguard, upon which he struck him in the face. He did not use any of the language described, and neither he nor his brother threatened to knock the complainant down, or knock his braiiisout, or " do for him." The defendant called, as witnesses, his brother, Mr. Henry Oliphant, and a clerk in the office, who fully confirmed the above statement. Mr. JARDINE said that he thought the provocation proved to have been given, though it would not justify, would yet palliate the assault. It would have been better if the de fendant bad acted in the same manner as his brother had, and taken no notice of the complainant's abuse ; or if he had turned him out of the office, nhich he might have done without striking him. However, he would not go to the full extent of tl,e law, but would tine the prisoner 405., or, in default, sentence hire to one month's imprisonment. A charge of obtaining 61. under false pretences was after ' wards preferred by the complainant's solicitor against de fendant, but Mr. JARDINE refused to entertain it, saying he thought there was no foundation in it. as THE LATE MURDER AT THE GUILDHALL COFFEE-HOUSE. MANSION-HOUSE.—(THIS DAY.) John Vincent Smith, late cook at the Guildhall Coffee house, was this morning brought up before the Lord Mayor for re-examination, charged with the murder of Susan Tolloday, his fellow-servant. The Court was crowded, and hundreds of persons who could not obtain admittance were constrained (however impatiently) to remain outside, in the expectation of seeing the unfortunate criminal as he would arrive at the Mansion-house. The Lord Msyor took his seat at ten minutes before pr one d r i s t o h n i r e t r y one o'clock. m r t _ m v e fi d N a e t yearsely d d s a e e t m t ehde fully b r. He looked l o v r as th i i sensible of the awful position in which he stood. The girl, Fanny Wetenhall, was first examined by Mr. Goodman, chief clerk—She resided in Halfmoon-alley, and had been employed in the Guildhall Coffee-house for the last eight weeks. She knew the prisoner at the bar, who had been cook, and also the deceased, Susan, who acted as kitchen maid She heard some quarrelling between prisoner and deceased on Friday last. She did not know what it was about, but it continued almost all day. She saw no blows given. Witness got there on Saturday: at nine o'clock in the morning, and after that time was principally employed in the kitchen, up to twelve o'clock. The prisoner and deceased were quarrelling on that morning, but she did not know what it was about. She thought they were quarrelling a b out Mrs. Riley, the charwoman. Mrs. Riley was there. He said that Mrs. Riley had got some things that she had never paid for. Susan took Mrs. Riley's part. She said "the cook was not acting like a man for grumbling at the poor woman." She could not tell what hour it was, but it might be half' an hour before " this affair took place." Mrs. Ril ey was sent away, and atter she bad gone, witness heard no more quarrelling between the prisoner and deceased. Susan was then sitting down, cutting beans. She had been doing so about half an hour. She was then sitting at the kitchen table. Prisoner was picking ducks at the other corner of the table. lie was picking them with a knife in his hand. He was using the knife to pick the feathers off. They were thus engaged when she (witness) was sent out of the kitchen. She was sent by the cook, about half-pest twelve, to the bar to Miss Green, to get some lard and egg-, but she said that he was to come himself, as she was busy. Witness then went back and delivered the message to cook. The prisoner and Susan were in the same place that she had left them in. The prisoner had by that time trussed the ducks, and they were lying on the table. The table was six or seven feet beteg. They were not q uite the length of the table separated from each other. She did not hear any conversation between them. The prisoner then gave witness a bacon. He brought it from near the larder, and said she was to get some milk and eggs. She was not sure that he had the knife in his hand, at that time. Witness went back again to the bar and saw Miss Green again. Miss Green gave her the milk and eggs. The kitchen cannot be all seen from the bar, and it is distant about ten or twelve feet from the bar. She had been absent about five minutes while she fetched the milk. On returning, she met the deceased coming to wards the bar, on the stairs. She saw her throat was cut, and she fell at the foot of the stairs. Aliss Green began to "holloa" and cry out. She heard Susan say nothing. Shelled a small white-h - andled knife (the one she was cutting the beans with) in her hand. She (witness) did not see the prisoner at the time that Susan fell, nor till she saw the policeman take him away a fterwards. While she stood at the bar she heard no noise as of quarrelling in the kitchen. Witness afterwards went home. In answer to questions from Mr. Goodman, the witness added that deceased said, when she and the cook were quar relling about /Web that " lie was not acting like a man, and he would remember it before many months were over his head." The prisoner said " she might before many hours went over ber head " Witness recollected nothing ese. The LORD MAYOR asked if the prisoner had any question to ask the witness? Prisoner—l could not undersrai - d a word that was said. Will you have the goodness to read it to me. Mr. Goodman then read the evidence as given by the girl Wt4.lthail. The prisoner, in answer to the question whether he had anything to ask the witness, said he would reserve his defence. John Tolloday, twenty-one years of age, lived at Castle lane, Cambridge, and was a whitesmith. The deceased was his sister, and her name was Susan Tolloday. She was cousin to the prisoner's wife. Witness had never seen prisoner and his sister together. The prisoner had no question to ask. The LORD MAYOR asked if the prisoner had anything to say why he should not be committed for trial? The pri soner had nothing to say. The witnesses were then bound over to appear against the prisoner at the present sessions (now sitting). MPER!AL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DA Y.) HOUSE OF CO3ISIONS.

RAILWAY BOARD. Mr. MORRISON moved the confirmation of the resolu tions of the Select Committee on Railways, of which he WAS chairman, with the view to the establishment of a railway board for directing the process of amalgamation, and for the general government of railway companies, and for empowering the board to test locally the correctness of the plans and sec tions deposited with the members of the board. Mr. HUME sail that having been on this Committee, he was confident that any one who had considered the state of private business fur the last two years, and who observed that this Committee and the Committee of the House of Lords were unanimous, would think the resolutions ought to he con firmed. lie would therefore second the motion. Sir G. GREY having been also on the Committee, con ceived that it would be adviAble for him to express his opinion respecting the resolutions. To the first of those resolutions he had no objection. It directed the process of amalgamation. The second was contained in the ninth, and if the House were to take those two as one, and embodied the general recommen dation of the Committee for a railway board, he thought it would be better than to go into details, and fetter the House at this time with resolutions which it might prove ye: y inconvenient to carry into effect. The better plan would be to accept the several recommendations of the Com mittee, and carry out the whole design when' it could be presented in the more perfect shape of a Bill. Lord G. SOMERSET approved of the establishment of this board, but coeceived that the matter was yet premature. This board ought plainly to comprise members of both Houses of Parliament, and, in his opinion, it ought to consist, at least partly, of members of the Government at the time in being. After a few words from Mr. W ARBURTON. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the Government had plainly received recommendations from both Houses, and from both sides of this House, to establish the board ; but it did appear to them that to attempt to do mere than establish the department at this period of the session would be futile. He would, therefore, propose to bring in a very shoat. Bill, for the purpose which he had intimated, giving the board thus constituted some of the powers of the Board of Trade, beside others of a similar kind, to enable them to fulfil their duty. The Vice-President of the r;oard of Trade was prepared with such a Bill, but havin g been exceedingly ill it happened that it was not laid on the table. The matter the n would be in progress, and the business might be well con sidered during the recess, and a Bill be brought in in the early part of next session for the complete organisation of the board and the arrangement of its duties. He proposed, therefore, to accept the first and second, and perhaps the ninth resolution, and on them to found such a Bill. Mr. BERNAL believed some such board to be absolutely necessary, for without it the private business of the country could not go on. But while making such a sweeping change the constitution, due deliberation ought to be observed in t. establishment of this board, espeehtly when they recolleetet that railways had now been constructed in the most remote parts of the country. Mr. GREENE took the same view of the case. Mr. P. M. STEWART ceeceived that the better plan would be to strike off all the resolutions but the first, so as to get the department recognised, and then the House would be able to constitute such a board as would obtain the confidence of the country and be as perfect as such a thing could be in all its details. Mr. ESTCOURT did not think that the resolutions pro posed would at all compass the important subject to which they related, and their adoption would lead to a great deal of unne cessary trouble hereafter. If any portion ot these resolutions was to be adopted, be thought that the first resolution would of itself answer all purposes, and the rest could easily be dispensed with. He did not, however, think it at all wise to introduce the subject at this late period of the session, when any legisletinn upon it must necessarily be of a hurried character, and the safer plan would be to withdraw all the resolutions until next session. Mr. MORRISON said that, after the expression of opinion which had be en given by the House, he would be perfectly content if the Home were to adopt the first resolution. Lord LINCOLN so far differed from many Hon. Members, that his opinion was against the passing of the first resolution; for if the Government intended to introduce a Bill constituting a railway hoard, the re•olution would be quite superfluous. if there were no part of the Government at present existing which could make those preliminary inquiries necessary, be would at once accede to the motion, but as such a portion ot the Government did exist, he should oppose it. After a few words in explanation from the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the first resolution was agreed to. THE CHIEF JUSTICESHIP OF BOMBAY. Lord GEORGE BEN TINCK vase, pursuant to the notice which he had given, to ask the President of the Board of Con trol, for some information respecting the Chid Justiceship of Bombay. Yesterday it was his duty to bring before the House a case with respect to the appointment of the magistracy which he thought must have struck the House very deeply, with the manner in which these duties were performed by her Majesty's late Ministers. It was his duty that day to bring before the attention of the House, and the attention of the country, a job which had been committed with respect to the appointment of the Chief Justice of Bombay. There were at that moment two Chief Justices of Bombay.— ( A laugh.) It would be in the recollection of the House, that the division on the Coercion Bill, which put her Majesty's late Ministers in a minority, occurred on the 26th of June. On the 29i .h of June following the announcement was made to that House and to the country that her Majesty's Ministers had resigned the reins of Government. On the 30th of June, Mr. David Pollock, a Commissioner for the relief of insolvent debtors in London, was appointed Chief Justice of Bombay ; and, as he believed (and on that point he asked for information of his Hon. Friend the President of the Board of Control), at that time Sir Henry Roper, the then Chief Justice of B mbay, had not tendered his resignaion to Government. He was well aware that it was in the power of the Government to supersede a chief justice in the colonies, but he submitted that if it were within the power of the Government, it was con trary to the spirit of the constitution, that, for the sake of patronage, the t;overi went should supersede those who held (Ace as judge in any part of the Queen's dominions. He be lieved that Sir Henry Roper was in the seventh year of the performance of his duties as Chief Justice of Bombay. Five years' service would give to him a retiring pension of 7001. per year, and seven years' service would have entitled him to a retiring pension of 1,0001. per year. The period of service which would have entitled him to the full retiring pension, of 1,0001. per year would have expired on the 2t of November next, yet her Majesty's late President of the Board of Control had, as he would show to the House, perpetrated a job, as he had thought proper to supersede Sir H. Roper by appointing Mr. David Pollock, when there were yet four months to rue before Sir Henry Roper would be entitled to his full retiring pension. Bat this was not all. There was another and more serious view of the case, and it was this—that by the law of the land, as soon as Mr. David Pollock was appointed Chief Justice, he became legally Chief Justice of Bombay ; then all authority by which Sir Henry Roper could try immediately ceased. Ihe result of this was, that every trial which should be held by Sir Henry Roper, between the time of the appointment of Sir Henry Pollock and the arrival of the news of his appointment at the East Indies, would be an illegal trial, and every criminal who should be convicted — that was, capitally convicted---..would stand before th e laws of the country as a murdered man, and that was one of the ways in which her Majesty's late Ministers performed the ministerial duties of their places. At that very moment (he did not know whether the Bill was actually in the House, but if it were not he believed that it would be laid on the table that night) it had been necessary to introduce into th e e other House of Parliament a Bil l, which, under the titl of the East India Patrotage Bill, was in point of fact a Bill for concealing this nefarious jet), and at the same time to grant an indemnity to the perpetrators of it. The object of the appointment of Mr. David Pollock was to make a vacancy in the Conimissionership of Bankrm toy, with which to reward the private secretary of Lord Lyndhurst, and the mode of proceeding was this :—S:r Henry Roper was to be superseded by the appointment of Mr. D. Pollock, which would leave the office of Chief Commissioner in London for the relief of insolvent debtors vacant. Mr. David Pollock was then in his turn to be succeeded in office by Mr. Phillips, a commissioner of the Court of Bankruptcy at Liverpool, and thus to make a vacancy there, to which Mr. Perry, the private secretary of the Lord Chancellor, had been since ap pointed. He (Lord George Bentioek) had nothing to say against the character of Mr. David P: g lock ; he did not wish to say or to insinuate l that he was unfit for thudiscbarge of the high duties to which he had been appointed. He believed that his legal attainments were grew, and though he might be something out of practice as regarded the courts of that portion cf the law which i h e e was to administer, from having been now occupied for some time as an Insolvent Debtor ' Commissioner, he (Lord George Bentinck) did not mean to say that he was not fit to hold the office of Chief Justice of Bombay—thougu his age, being6s, was rather greater than that of those who were sent out to the East Indies to fulfil the situation of Chief Justice had generally attained. Weil, then, with ct to Mr. Phillips, he had nothing to say against his character or against his legal attainments. He believed that a more capable man for executing the office of Chief Commissioner for the relief of insolvent debtors did not exist.—(Hear, hear.) So far as he was concerned it could not be imputed to him that he hid taken any part in this job. The office which be had vacated entitled him to a salary of 1,8001. per annum, and the office to which he succeeded entitled him only to a salary of 1,500!. per year. Private reasons, and a feeling to which he would r.ot advert—founded upon a domestic calamity which lie had met with—had made it desirable tohim personally to leave Liverpool, the place where he met with this calamity. If it should he that Mr. Phillips was inch bted for his promotion to that office, not to the fulfilment of the wishes of the ex-Lord Chan cellor, but to the patronage and friendship of another, who lie (Lord George Bentinek) might say, supplied the office of honorary Lord Chancellor during the existence of the late Government.—performing the legislative duties in the other House of Parliament which were abandoned by others —taking the part of defending her Majesty's Ministers against those attacks which were constantly made on them in that Home, though not in this House, and upnn their honour and consistency in a late prcceeeing—that was no disparagement to Mr. Phillips, and he (Lord George Bentinck) rejoiced that Mr. Philips, through the interference of Lord Brougham, should have obtained the appointment, if it were through his interference that be did obtain that situation. He could not say that he had no charge to make against Lord Brougham as to the reward of his fidelity and zeal in the de!ence •f her Majesty's late Prime Minister, or that which was intended to have soothed and gratified his feelings. When he came to another part of the case, and looked at the appointment of Mr. Perry he was bound to say that he thought it was a very great job; Mr. Perry, as he believed, had bad no practice for some years in the courts of law, and, as he was informed, he was accom panied to Liverpool by Mr. Commissioner Conroy in order to dry nurse him in the new duties he had to perform. He had treated of this matter as though it was an appointment made by the Lord Chancellor. Lord Lyndhurst, but, as he was well aware the appointment did not rest in the gilt of the I ord Chancellor, but it rested in the gift of the President of the Board of Control. He believed that the appointment was actually enforced upon Mr. Perry, unsought and unasked far by him; in feet, it was actually pressed mien him by the late President of the Board of Control. He eared not whether the appointment was to he attribu'ed to Lord Lyndhurst or the Eari ot Ripon. it was a job, and one of the most nefarious jobs ever perpetrated It would be for the Gentlemen opposite to show some justification of it, and to show some precedent of a similar kind. It came with peculiar bad ,trace from the present Government, and from Lord Lyndhurst, who had exhibited such feelings in lt , ll. with reference to a Charitable Trusts Bill. A more profli gate avidity for patronage bad never been displayed by any Government, and it contrasted very strikingly with the indifference manifested with regard to the Lord-Lieutenancy of Norfoleshire, lately vacant. There was a man, however, ..ho was entitled to the latter dignity. hot he was guilty of what the late Prime Minister could not overlook—be was guilty of the crime of consistency with his former political opinions and fidelity to his •former principles. The appointment was, therefore. left vacant for 30 days until the present Government came into power. (LEFt SPEAKING.) LIAILWAY COM MITTE ES. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE 01? LORDS. Room A. WIANCIEMSTER. AND SOUTrEATtIPTON, The Committee met this morning at eleven o'clock, Lord Monteagle in the chair. The first witness called was Mr. Harris, an extensive elass manufacturer at Islington, in the vicinity of Birmingham, who testified to the great difficulty he and others carrying on a similar avocation experieeced from the detective com munication for sand, a fire description of which was obtained from the Isle of Wight. He had 500 tons himself in the course of a year, but he possessed the largest glass works in that district. The present conveyance from the Isle of Wight to Gloucester, by ship, and trom thence by canal, was most uncertain. During the last year he had it sent by the Southampton Railway, and then by the London and Bir mingham, in order to prevent the stoppage of his works, but the expense was twice that by the ordinary route. The pro posed line would be used by him and others. Mr. Etwall, M.P. for Andover, considered that the line would be most advantageous to the whole of the agricultural district which it was proposed to traverse. The want of such a line had been felt for many years, and the feeling in favour of it throughout the whole district exceeded in unanimity the feeling with respect to any other undertak ing. Had used salt as a manure, and it wouLl be more extensively used if the carriage were cheaper, as also would other artificial manures. He became one of the provisional committee, and a member of the local committee for allot ting shares, simply in consequence of the great advantage which he considered the district would derive from the line. By the CoaianTTEE_The shares in that district were al lotted to the owners of land, and persons of the highest re spectability and opulence. This remark applied to a circuit of twenty-four miles round Andover. By Mr. TwenoT—There are no considerable towns in the district but will have railway communication to London by existing or authorised lines. but not to the north or south. He did not know of an extension from Reading to Hunger ford, in connexion with the Berks and Haute, nor tint a line had been pi-ejected to Worthing. There were a number of fairs held in the district, a great number of store sheep came to them. Did not hear at the affirmation meeting that the company would not call up more than 2/. per share, up to 1848. Mr. Rawlinson, farming 2,000 acres of land at Hole, be tween Andover and Salisbury, and rearing from 3.000 to 4,000, sheep in the course of a year, detailed the quantity of oats and barley raised in the course of a year in Hampshire, Wilts, and Dereetsbire, the number of fairs, and the numbers who attended them. Also the number of cattle and sheep, and gave evidence generally in favour of the line. He sent malt to Poole, in order to get it to Liver pool. The sheep and cattle of the district went to Warwick shire and Worcestershire, and to the other midland counties. If the railway were made it would be extensively used. Manures; which s ere much required, would no doubt be brought in return. Guano was imported at Southampton. OXFORD, WITNEY, CHELTEN. lIAIII, AND GLOUCESTER INDEPENDENT RAILWAY.—(i HIS DA Y.) A general meeting of the shareholders and scripholders of this Company was held at the London Tavern, Ilishopegate street this day, for the purpose (as stated in the advertise ment) of considering a proposal to be made to ueite this Company with the pi uposed Cheltenham, Oxford and London Railway, upon certain terms and conditions to be stated at the meeting, and in case of such terms being ape proved and accepted by the meeting, then to authorise and empower the proper parties to unite this company with the proposed London, Oxford, and Cheltenham Railway Company, and to wind up the affairs of the Oxford, Witney, Cheltenham, and Gloucester Independent Railway Coin palsy. Sir JAMES DUKE, the chairman of the board of directors, took the chair a few minutes after twelve o'clock, and opened the proceedings as follows :—Gentleinen, I am glad some respects to see so small a meeting here, because I believe that it will in some respect testify that there is something like confidence in the directors as regards anything which we may have the honour of submi.ting to this meeting, and on their part and on my own 1 confess that I feel a great obligation for the confidence that has been manifested towards this Com pany, because, while I believe that it is generally understood that the Company's finances are in a very low state, there are no parties here who have come for the purpose of expres eieg a want of confidence in the directors, because they have not thought proper to call the proprietors together. Gentle men, I have been anxious for some time past that we should not abandon our line without some struggle, and an en dea, our to obtain some advantages for you; and after negotiations with various parties, we have now come to the happy result of making such an arrange ment as I trust will be satisfactory—very satisfaciorv— to us all, under the circemstances. Gentlemen. before I. allude further to that, I will state to you that we are honoured to-day with the presence of the solici tor of what was formerly the London and Birmingham Com pany, but now the London and North-Western Company, who attends here in order that he may confirm my statement, or supply any deficiencies which I may inadvertently make. Gentlemen, it has been my anxious wish on all oc casions to act straightforwardly, and, though our deed of settle ment gives the directors the power of making this arrange ment, I thought it would be very ungracious, in return for the confidence which you have always evinced towards us, if we did not call you together, and give you an opportunity of expressing your opinion upon our conduct with respect to this arrangement. And, at the same time, I may state that if your views are in unison with ours it will strengthen our hands in completing that arrangement. I will now, there fore, ask the Secretary to read the advertisement calling you together for this special object, and then I will endea vour to explain to you the terms of the arrangement, Mr. J. Menzies, the Secretary of the Cumpany, having accordingly read the advertisement, The CHAIRMAN continued as follows:—Now, gentlemen, some time ago we were in negotiation with the London and Birmingham Company, but their directors not being able to . prevail upon theta to take the same views of the advantage of taking us up, the negotiation (as, in fact, I apprehended) went off. However, upon further consideration, they requested me to see them again, and on Saturday last I received from them offielkay such a communication as I shall now read to you , wier your permission. Having read the communication, the Chairman thus continued Now, gentlemen, there is another rival compau in the field, the Great Western Company, and I felt that to talk to you about advancing more money, uith the view of t pro secuting this scheme in the next session of P endea g vour to o ly alternative that we hau to resort t not likely to be a palatable project, and loth:Elotaorrelitahmouen-Awtlties • I will read to you a letter which I re ceived Companies. Now, make the best arrangement that we coua between those two from our solicitor at Witney, who supports our inte rests there, to show how much better the directors of the have viewed aed treated us than they read an extract, which is, , 1 1 . i v i te r hr n ei i l l: i n kn g . e l l i il a nl me that d th C a Company m di s p o a n. I n e y ces N s v a il r l y ° : ll) • : Although 1 could make no conditions relative to the independent line, yet I think that 500/. a • thousand would be taken for them." No w , gentlemen, I need not tell you that, after such a proposi lion was made , I had not h i n g m ore to do t h an to s ecure that (in my opinion) very liberal offe r, which has been made to us by the London and Birmingham Company.—(Bear.) Gentlemen, they in fact give us 6s. 8:l. per share' fur our plans and our interests. That is the real state of the eightpences, making us altleth w er e - 27 e; case. They give us three six-and-eightpences, atel give them three six-and , so that we give 11, and they give , You will see, gentlemen, that their ;hdl . being 2 - 0/..v. f i o i h i. 10 1/ / . . they three g s i h v a e r :hares, 3 , per cent. paid upon them, equal 21., and that we give them equal to tl t l i r le e y g si i x ve -an u d s, -( i ii n g ta tri c e t, nc 4 e o s: . ' o v i l l l e i c ( i ) l f are their e for 20s. But, gentlemen, in addition to this pecuniary ad vantage, I think that there is another great advantage, inas much as our line from Oxford to Wenev could only com mand traffic, between the two towns, but the project which th,.: London and Birmingham contemilate is to make it, in fact, the Clielteneam and Loudon line to Oxford, because it is to join their line et 'Prins:, and by that means it will bring the two towns of Litrelon and Cheltenham nearer than by any other route. Tilerellire, I am quite satisfied, gentlemen, that if Parii.anent act up to the principle s which they have hitherto adopted, namely, in preferring the most direct course, there can be scarcely any oppsition in the ensuing Parliament to this project. Besides, Ikntle men, if you look at the map you wilt see that the line trom Oxford to Cheltenham is a north branch of of the Great Western Railway ; and after both Houses of Parliament came to a solemn resolution, and subsequently enacted it by a Bill, that there sha ll be no broad gauge north of the Great Weste rn .Railway, it is quite clear ' to me that this Company will have nothing to do but to go to Parliament and present their plans athere nd also obtain nother their ]sill.—(Applause.) Now, gentlemee!, is a view to be taken of th e subject. 'Sou get shares in this Company. I have shown to you by the letter which I have directors-1 epted; et them sT i,i as real that the Birminghan: gentlemen, because as their Ithe birwinglnun directors', will better understand what ltot title is act new you parties I mean, I call them to the name of the Birmingham directors—they will be guaranteed a subscription of three.-- fourths of the capital required by that Company, and their remaining forth will be given to us, and such friends a Oxford, at Witnev, at Cheltenham, and other places on the line, gentlemen,evhola v 1 en treed m a ,t n iti:tliere;Lintthhaet titnbdereertiaskinnog.Lo tchea4 those shares being at a discount - , but that there is a very greats prospect of there behig at a considerablepremium as soon a this arrangement is completed.—(Cheers.) Now, gentleineTt with respect to the prospects that these gentlemen en:extl ante of their line, this is a skeleton of their pe os p ectus. sorry to say that it is not quite so could wish; but the reason of that is ob c e ° - the arrangements were completed with the cOmp• i na ca p u I s e . t ea . u a r s n,tvii ng ' and until they had an opportunity of consult '• their principal engineer, Mr. R. Stephenson, and ascer!az n t ing in every way that they possibly could the exact amona. that they might consider necessary to carry on their they could not make the arrangement complete. Gentlemen'', they have shown the great sincerity with which they intend: to carry out this project—they have given no less than eight members of their board to the provisional alai man aging committee. Now, gentlemen, I am quit° satisfied that. yeu will understand the position of the London and Birmingham Company, and it will not be necessary for me. to xplain to you the importance of such an accession to any company that may new be formed —(Applanee.) The names of those eight gentlemen include those of Mr. Robert Benson, Captain Mm•gles, M.P., Patrick Maxwell Stewart, Esq., M.P. Now, gentlemen, I was ve r y anxious' OA" I should be permitted, if I had the good fortune of clae , i ll .; this affair, to retire altogether; but. the solicitors of Ow mingliem beard said h we must have from you such a go.'" rantee as will satisfy Parliament that we are , in fact, rid legal and proper heirs of your state. — ( Hear, hear.) Ando. under these circumstances, it was a g reed that four of the members of this board should continue upon he provisional committee.—(clear, bear.) I stated to these gentlemen from the first to the last that I was a perfect blank sheet of paper, and that as long as they should wish me to continue on the committee of the company, and any good was to be gained by the shareholders thero b Y , w ould very gladly continue in any position which ttleY might wish me to occupy.—( beers.) Now, gents': nu le these are the names which the Birmingham board" have furnished to carry out their proposed line, and in ad die' tion to those, there ere of her gentlemen connected with thef towns through which this line world pass—they are names of great respectability. Having read the names, the Chair - .- man continued to say—ln addition to those gentlemen! there is the respectable name, the well-known name,of Robert Stephenson as the engineer. Now, gentlemen,' thinta these ar ta ° names which will satisfy you that unless the Birmengbde Company had seen that they were to carry it out wit: l vantage, and with a view to the advantage of tho se p ar.l % who became subscribers with themselves, they would nve have come here to have made that offer which they have ooi( made. Cientlemen, the merits of our line have in sone respect been tested by this fact, because you will bear in mind that tile Great We'aern Company endeavoured to Pt a lire from Cheltenham from their Wolverhampton branc' in the last session. That was thrown out. Th e r e was °LI: another competing line running pretty nearly cleat,v us, which did not succeed. It is , therwore, that the Great Western have fallen upon, as nearly on 1 0i ' sible, our line of road, and that the same line of road ieell taken up by the Birmingham Company, does sho w, at • events, some testimony of the merits of our original prejecie Gentlemen, you must bear in mind that, in taking up those, s hares, we shall hand over to the new company the whole or our plans, end the whole of everything that has been done , so that we shall have to pay a very small sum of money in' deed for the necessary preliminaries and preparations to enable us to go to Parliameut. That, gentlemen, is also lia object in addition to the direct pecuniary advant4! which you get fer those plans. You get another advaetage fact, by saving the expense which wou ld be re q uired for nal plans.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, the next p oint, and them ors important point, which I have to state to you, „ with respect to the proposition w hich has 107, made by that Company, that we should PSI them 6s. Bd. per share, they also giv in g us 6s. DI a share, so that for 20a. we receive 2 /. ; so that Wal t , leave in fact, one share fob' three without being called on t , subscribe an additional penny.—(llear, hear.) Now , g elv ; tlemen, these are as nearly as possible all the points ° information that 1 can give you, and with the view of ea; ablieg you to come to some resolution on the subject , I title sketched out, with my brother -directors, a resolution, avilwe if it meets your approbation, perhaps sotne gentleman wi;3.l"" kind enough to take up and bring before the meeting. " Resolved—That the proposal now made by the Londol Oxford, and Cheltenham Railway Company, of giving 0 1 1 , share in that undertaking in exchange for three siesta with a payment of 6s. Bd. per share, of the Oxfal ; Witney, Cheltenham, and Gloucester Indepe ndent Rail" ; Company, be accepted by this meeting under guarantee from the directors of the London and N o ;"0 Wtstern Railway Company to subscribe three - fo ur t hs of es capital required for the first-mentioned line, and to taP it a lease thereof in perpetuity at a rent of 41% per cents by one-half of the surplus profits ; and this meeting lia",a, authorises the managing committee of the Oxford, Wit, Cheltenham, and Gloucester Independent Railway ComPa t v ies to carry the proposed arrangement into effect, and to pf! , Y, sum of 6s. Bd. accordingly ; the shareholders , in consehig tion of such arrangement, releasing all c l ai ms, and g'fvfaiee full powers to the managing committee to wind up the $ ea st and settle all outstanding °emends in such manner aaatirt; such terms as they may deem most advisable."—(CTldt Now, gentlemen, having stated thus much to you, known that I have anything further to state.—(Cheero•LaLti Mr. KEDDLE said, lw did not anticipate meeting iae a dissentient voice in rising to propose that resolution just read should be adopted by the m oll co It appeared to him that if the affairs of the Company' * o• wound up, the shareholders would receive ra°_,e, thing like 6s. Bd. a share, whereas the Present ar mein would secure to them the su m of II- J o u share, clear of any additional expense or Pre i m e which might be attached to the shares.—(Chee rs.) eo dition to that, as the chairman had very properly str'.:, et new expense would have to be laid out in the ni fale:snsrf plans. He did not think that one word more was l e afl et:li. to ensure to the resolution which'he had to prop ose - mous reception. (Cheers T at h e e . i r e e a so e l p u ß ti et on —l wa sh s .) then n e u a t p t p r y o in to s th ec e ona chatihre, reso l u tion. _ unanimously, with loud cheering. The CHAIRMAN then said—Gentlemen, I ma:lisilt c:Ornrflea; that I am grateful to you for this mark of your e c to deuce, and I am sure that my brother ctir e et he must be equally grateful to you for this kind vote anue o r assistance which you have always rendered to us in name ing out this preject ; and I beg to assure you, genternelYao. we shall be most anxious, in our position as provisionat.c"oo mitteemen in the new company, to do everything l a ce power to maintain our character and the coutidenee yott been pleased to bestow upon us. Mr. Maatsuara, moved a vote of thanks eo the Chaireree and his Mother directors for the interest which' they na t l .,. to nifeated in time concerns of the Company, and p ar ticular the former, for his conduct in the chair that day:- d The resolution having been seconded and cam Iheieneeatil acclamations, the Chairman responded, and the' 517-aso' which was most unanimous througaout, separates fi'" past twelve.
