S. and Co. beg respectfully to inform the public, that they have made and sold AERA fED LIME WATER for many years past; but as lime is dangerous to some constitutions, producing the very disorders it is presumed to remedy or prevent, they regard it only as a medicine, not to he used indiscriminately, but only under medical direction.

A meeting of the parishioners of St. Marylebone was held, on Tues day evening, at Investigation Hall, Circus-street, New-road, to re ceive the report of the deputation to the Vestry of St. Marylebone on behalf of the unemployed and destitute poor, and to consider the necessity of establishing a Poor Man's Guardian Society. Pr. Cox, having been called to the chair, said he could assure those present that he addressed them as friends, and he made use of the term with the warmest and best feelings of his heart, which he believed they would give him credit for. He came before them in the cause of the 'poor man with a philanthropic object—in the hope that they could ameliorate the condition of the poor by careful atten- tion to their rights, and by expending money, if necessary, and by raising up the wrong and the oppressed. It was with that object before them that he had consented to take the chair that evening, and it would ever be a source of happiness to hint, if he should in any way be instrumental towards securing it. They had met more over to receive a report from the deputation to the Vestry of Mary lebone, which had originated in a meeting held in the same place some time before, and he would, therefore, call on Mr. Cochrane to lay that report before the meeting. Mr COCIIRANE said, the object of the meeting was for the purpose of endeavouring, by combination of movement, to obtain that aid and assistance for the poorer classes generally, which they stood in need of, and to obtain that assistance from the legal sources of the public, by a firm, united, and determined course of conduct. They would recollect that they had been addressed, at a former meeting iu that place, on the part played by the Vestry, asd that what had been said on that occasion, led to a strong expression of feeling in favour of a deputation to the vestry from that meeting. That took place on the 22d ofJanuary last. On the 26th of the same month, the vestry convened a meeting in the workhouse-yard ; but giving advet timment of that meeting only or. the 24th ; so that a powerful effect had been pro duced on the vestry by their proceedings. He could not help ex pressing his strong conviction, that but for them the vestry would not only not have convened a meeting on that day, bat they were actually afraid tp meet the parishioners, and give them short notice. He could not help adding, that it did not say much for the vestry that they had been afraid of an examination. Before the meeting he (Mr. Cochrane) went over to the workhouse-yard, that he might see the system pursued there with the poor, and he found that the staple means of relief was bread and water-gruel.—(Hear, hear.) A man who came in, or rather was brought into the house in a state of exhaustion and utterly destitute, pet haps half dying from want of food, one of the items on their tables, framed by the vestry, for this being, was bread and water-gruel. The next thing was, that there was a Quantity of work for him to do next day.—(Cries of " Shame.") And the third thing was, that if he refused to do that work they took care to have him up.before a magistrate. He (Mr. Cochrane) did not mean to say that a man should be idle; but bad as poverty was in . . - itself, the law which existed tended to' make the condition of the poor more abject and oppressed. At the meeting at the workhouse yard a motion was got up conveying thanks to the vestry, but he (Mr. Cochrane) made an amendment, not knowing indeed whether he had adopted the proper mode to gain his end, that the rules of the vestry with reference to the relief of the poor should be read to the meeting before that resolution was put. But directly that he moved to the trout of the hustings he was received with hooting. Till than indeed he did not know he was a person of any importance whatever in the parish—for a man's degree of importance might be measured by the hissing with which he was received. However, when that had subsided so much as to allow him to tell the meeting he had not come to defend the pOer-law guardians, the hissing ceased in front, and all that still continued came from behind him, from among the guardians themselves. lie did not succeed in getting the rules read at the meeting, but he did still maintain that the public had a right to know what the rules were, and if they were based on justiee and humanity, he had maintained that the vestry should not have been afraid to have them publicly read. Thus far as to that. He had written since to the guardians for a copy of them, that when the deputation waited on the vestry he might con front them with their own rules ; but he could not succeed in getting them. The deputation which waited on the vettry from the former mee was numerous, and they were well received by the vestry. Mr t and himself addressed them, and he thought their only defer ected to himself, was " What did you do when you were g (Hear.) But, supposing he (Mr. Cochrane) had done not ng,.tha othing to do with the point the deputation had in hand ; and he was not the whole deputation, nor the only re presentative of the parishioners ; it mattered not whether he yvas a good man or a bad man. But they put a question which turned pain fully against themselves in the long rim. He told the vestry that he would answer this question, but on them would fall the effects of it. Mr. Cochrane said to the meeting that it eame to his knowledge, whilst he was a guardian, that one day a poor woman came to the house, with a child at her breast, not a month after the birth ; that a medical man declared , that her breast was so flat that she had no ,sources of nourishment for her child. She came to the workhouse ; .ahe asked for money, but it was refused ; she asked for bread, butPewas refused; she was shut out from the workhouse : such' was if* exhaustion, so sunk was nature, and reason was so masterea by. instincts grown superior, that that mother within,aqiueur of her being shut out of the workhouse went and threw her Mid' into_thb river and destroyed it and gave herself up to the polle Igifesihnt freely what she had done. Till then this 4sansactiou kePt &secret. He (11 r.Cochrane) felt it his duty to search Into iti e event to the attorney who was managing the un happy worn ' citge, by this time a prisoner in Newgate, and he prayed the A t ey to have himself and the medical man subpoenaed for the tri : ' ey were subpoenaed, but their testimony was not called for , n re unhappy woman was condemned to be executed as a murd rer ; ,but he was happy to add that an appeal made to 1 4 htr Mai .ty en her behalf was successful. Thus much for the i vestry. Ile was-not boastful of what he had done, but he thought it proper tOeWl,ifirein of that. Before leaving he thought it necessary to remind them of the advertisement they had put in the papers for, ,it Man and a woman superintendent, whose qualiAgglitinA were to be able to read the church service. Ile though hat the poor should have the privilege as they had the right to appear themselves In the house of God. Now, he said, was the time to come forward with the movement whicli they were just taking up. The House of Commons he was glad to see had stirred in the case of the Andover Union. Ite hoped -that by firm and re spectful conduct they would induce the respectable portion of society to rally round them till they were ablelo make an impression on the public mind of the treatment of the poor. He sat down after read ing the following resolution which had been adopted by the vestry in reference to the deputation:— " Samuel Stephens, Esq., in the chair. Resolved—That the de. potation be informed that the ministering of relief to the poor is a duty devolving upon the board of guardians, and that this beard being composed of good and just men, the board is of opinion that every care is taken of the poor".—(Cries of " Shame.") Mr. JORDAN said, when waiting on the vestry with the deputation, he had asked the chairman whether the provision for the casual poor was equally ample with that made for the local poor, and all the answer he received was---(Here Mr. Jordan shook his head in token of the negative, and caused much l• tr.) He concluded by moving that this meeting did not consider esolution of the vestry satisfactory. ' 31r BOYLES, one of the guardians, wisjied to make Rome explana tio,na before the resolution Was -put. He said,Mr. Cochrane had men tioned one case,..which wa.i undoubtedly true, but he believed there were circumstances which ilecesgtated the wothan's being refused at the time. (Mr. B. then proceeded to quote the dietary table for the local poor, when he'svultt)/fed bj the Clioirman, who said that meeting had nothing to do except with the casual poor.) Ile, con tinued to ".trams" ; - ; ,(Qh f Oh)—it had fallen to his lot to go With th':' ..or again and it7airdo Marylebone workhouse. He had obtat for the . alf of a qltialitern loaf and sixpence, or a quartern loa . , , ~. wog ayi9i -a shilling., eighteenpence, and 2s. f.d., ace's.. 31 - - the nun - ipeeof.- children tbeY had. lie had done that sin • I.: -t. asf year fir 140'citeii, Sundays not excepted ; and in no case had'he,refused; exeept• in One of a young man of bad cha r, ovwlrenlie:was examined afterwards, was found with ls.6d. tikino y4nlliis ill's au and _the .half of a quartern loaf,. which he lb jvr. oyles) hid .prev ou4iy given him privately at his own house, IThej-eung maitilld*rio. know his, house again, being brought in by another eittfitiAife,' - an(i htr:cime ard pleaded destitution and want, notwithstanding that he poes.essed all that money, and had the bread ,he .(31E. linles). had giveu him cut up into slices, and stowed away abouehis person: HO 'said there were no rules printed for the casual 'poOr;tut they werebeing printed. Indeed the department had only existed three weeks or a fortnight altogether in 3larylebone. Tie CHAIRMAN (to Mr. Boyles)—ls it, then, that every poor per son going through the parish receives half of a quartern loaf and ed., or Is., or 25., as the sate may require ? I ask you for informa tion which may be satisfactory. You may be a per..on of influence, you may go up to the workhouse, and get such a relief for them. Mr. lioir.Es—lt was invariably the practice, and did not proceed from influence. lie had never known an instance of refusal, except where there was a dissolute character. The resolution was seconded by Mr. SAVAGE, and carried unani mously. Mr. SAVAGE said he rose to bring the more important business of the evening before the meeting. He had to propose a resolution for the institution of a society to watch over the interests of the poor; and in doing so he had in the first place to observe that he did not refer to the guardians in one union or another, or in any union in particular, but he would lay it down generally that these mcn under take to perform the duties of guardians, and having undertaken are satisfied to bear the honour, delegating their duties to their paid ser vants. He said he would bear out what he had to say by facts. Mr. Savage then proceeded to quote largely from the police reports, and to comment on them as he proceeded. He said they knewwell with what ease the guardians could make their accusations, and bring forward their servants always servile enough to corroborate their statements, while the poor men stood alone, and though he had a good character might not have the means at hand to prove it. lie would hare men treat ed as men ; he would have the legal relief administered in a free, and generous, and honourable way, not meanly doled out in scanty pit tance to the needy victim. He did not think that the existing local authorities gave sufficient intimation to the public where ther poor could find relief, and how they were to go about it ; but that he hoped would be remedied by the Society they were about to establish. He knew a case which had occurred within the last fourteen days which illustrated the unkind treatment to which the poor had been subjected. An old man had lived in the same parish 67 years, he had seen his children married and gone, and now he was reduced to seek admission into the workhouse. He was admitted. The first thing they did to him was a very proper thing—they put him into the bath. . But how did those who attended on the bath use the old gentleman, frail at those years? They left him standing in the bath, on the cold stones, till he caught disease, and was taken up to bed, and within a few days he died. They wished, then, to let the guardians know their duty—that they must not leave it to their hirelings to perform. Mr. Savage then referred to the Andover Union. He said he knew it from well-authenticated sources, and he hoped the House of Commons would look into it, that the late master of that union had privately employed female labour, and sent the produce, which had cost him nothing, into the London market against free labour, which was paid for at the rate of 9s. per dozen shirts.—(Cries of" Shame.") These guardians dealt in man, made merchandise of the poor, filled their pockets from their unrewarded labour, and " the poor they sent empty away." --- - Mr. ASHBORNE seconded the resolution, supporting it with many able and pertinent remarks. The following resolution was then put and carried unanimously : " That the frequent repsrts of the harsh and unjust way the ne cessitous poor are oppressed, both in the workhouses or as casual poor, of the difficulties in the way of obtaining the scanty relief allotted them by the law, and the impossibility of those who are in need obtaining redress from any injustice practised towards them, either by neglect of the guardians or the wilfulness of their officers, this meeting is of Opinion that a society should be established as a Poor Man's Guardian Society, to insure the humane dispensation of the law, and to protect the poor against neglect and oppression." Mr. L'orr.Es interposed to deny the applicability of what had been said to the union of St. Marylebone. Mr. J. SAVACE moved— " That a committee, with power to add to their number, be ap pointed to establish such a society, and to carry out the foregoing resolutions into effect, by appealing to the public, or other such means as they may think proper." Mr. DEvostroaT seconded the resolution, which was passed inland measly. 31r. COCHRANE moved that the thanks of the meeting should be - given to the press for their alvocac3, of the interests of the poor. The Motion was carried without opposition. Mr. SAVAGE moved that John Walter, Esq., of Bearweod, long the tried friend of the poor, should be requested to become the President of the Society. The motion was seconded and carried unanimously. It was moved by Mr. SAVAGE, and carried by the meeting— " That no - object of a political or party character be connected with this society." A vote of thanks having been passed to the Chairman, the meeting adjourned. THE POLISH INSURRECTION. We here give from the continental papers some additional details respecting this attempt to raise the standard of free dom in Poland, and regret to find that nearly all concur in stating that there is not the slightest chance of success. The Journal des Debats of Monday says :--=" We received yesterday sad news of the Polish insurrection. It may be remembered that General Collins, repulsed by the. insurgents from Cracow, had first retired to Podgorze and next to Wa dowice, where he had taken up his position. The insurgents, who had destroyed a part of the bridge of boats on the Vis tula under the tire of the Austrian troops, made an invasion into Gallicia by passing the river, which, near Cracow, is as wide as the Seine at Paris. They directed their course towards Bochnia and Wieliezka, where are salt mines which form one of the richest resources of the Austrian Government. They seized on them, and advanced into the circle of Tarnow, hoping to find a general rising in their favour. Others, after having repaired the bridge, oc cupied Podgorze, and endeavoured to propogate the insur rection. We have said that a horrible struggle had taken place in the circle of Tarnow between the nobles and the peasants. The litter, remaining faithful to the Austrian Government, attacked their masters and the emissaries who endeavoured to urge them to insurrection, and massacred the greater number of them. After this unexpected success, Colonel Benedetti, head of the staff of General Retsi, Com mander in-Chief of the army of Gallicia, proceeded to or ganize militarily the peasants who showed so much bitter ness against the insurgents. He divided them into compa nies under the orders of non-commissioned officers drawn from the troops of General Collin, established at Wadowice. The insurgents, after having occupied Wieliezka, situated within two leagues of Podgorze, advanced to Gdow, on the Bochnia road. It was on this point there took place a first combat between the insurgents and the peasants, commanded by Colonel Benedetti. This engagement, of which we want the details, had for result the retreat of a part of the insur gents in the direction of Wieliezka and Podgorze. General Collins, who had at the same time received reinforcements, took advantage of this circumstance, and on the 27th of February marched on Podgorze, which, it may be remem bered, is in front of Cracow, on the right bank of the Vistula, The insurgents, organised in a hurry and badly armed, 'endeavoured however to hold Podgorze, the position of which offered no means of defence. The combat was on both sides sharp and well. con tested, although the Austrians acknowledge only one man killed and seven wounded, but after two successive attacks the Austrian troops occupied Podgorze. The insurgents took refuge in the city of Cracow. This place is seriously menaced by General Collin, who, under the protection of his artillery, can effect the passage of the Vistula either above or below the town, whilst the insurgents cannot any longer so easily attempt the passage of the river, having only some dismounted pieces, and being exposed to the attacks of the troops united with the peasants, whosri Colonel Benedetti supports.with detachments of infantry and cavalry. Gene ral Rohr still occupies the same position on the frontiers of the republic of Cracow, receiving every day reinforcements from Silesia. As to the Russian troops dispatched towards that direction, we have no information as to their move ments. Thus, in the actual state of the insurrection, and of troops of the three protecting powers of the republic, the denouement of this unfortunate but heroic, attempt of the Poles cannot be long delayed." The German journals, which arrived at Paris on Monday morning, do not bring much news respecting the insurrection. The Augsburg Gazette states that General Paskewitsch has offered to place a corps d'arntee at the service of the Arch duke Ferdinand of Austria, but that it is not probable the offer will be accepted, as the Austrians consider their own force more than sufficient to put dawn the insurrection in their part of the Polish territory. The Austrian Observer publishes the official report by General Collin of the defeat of the insurgents at Podgorze. General Collin states that he had only one killed and seven wounded, but that the insurgents left a great number of dead, and he made 89 prisoners. The Universal Gelman Gazette mentions a rumour from Breslaw of the 3d that the insurgents of Cracow had capitulated, and were to evacuate the town on the stle. Several more arrests have been made at Posen, but the whole of Prussian Poland is said to be tranquil. (From the Epoque, another Government paper.) " We think it useful to remark how difficult it is, and how rash it would be, to pronounce, in the midst of so many con tradictory reports and opposite versions, on the seal import ance and character of events at Cracow. As much as we should be distressed at allowing it to be supposed that we are indifferent to the generous efforts which a friendly nation can make to recover its nationality, brutally violated, so much should we reproach ourselves with imprudently encouraging vain demonstrations, which, far from profiting that nation, would only tend to increase its servitude and augment its misery. IVe leave to others, for this moment, the task of applauding or criticising events, before even any positive fact permits a reasonable and well-founded opinion to be formed. As to us, we fear that the end of this will be much bloodshed, and perhaps, terrible reactions, and that is, we should imagine, a reason grave enough for men ofsense to approve our keeping silence until we can pronounce with a real knowledge of the matter." The National says:— " We cannot give a faithful account of all the visits, letters, and ardent, deep, and pathetic testimonies received by us yesterday in favour of the Polish insurrection. It is then true that a holy cause and an intrepid devotedness are suffi cient to make the generous blood of France thrill in her veins, and precipitate all the pulsations of her heart. Let us, therefore, declare to these brave men who combat yonder 10 against 1.000, how much their heroism penetrates the whole of France with admiration ! Let us tell them that young men belonging to all classes of society, students, clerks, workmen, have come in crowds to express to us their desire to not only subscribe for Poland, but to set out to lend her their assistance. Let'us tell them that if we were per mitted to-morrow to enrol volunteers, a French army would soon have joined the insurgents, who have risen in the name of their country! We know well that it is men's arms that they want! and it is one of our misfortunes to be reduced to impotent good wishes! But there is also strength in right: there is strength in the opinion of a country like ours! Cold-blooded spirits, which only look in all things to success, calculate all chances: recktm the battalions of the enemy, and entertain respect only for vic tory I Ali ! we should be less agitated, less disturbed, were the victory certain ! It is because the Poles are feeble that they appear so great It appeared that fury and vengeance had forced the last breath from this nation without name, without worship, without territory ! Its'eraelmthn,anntosr w ere sl c i s a • persed : it possessed neith er unity nor la strength. Behold, it rises up all of a sudden, and com mences, at the end of 60 years, its seventh insurrection, which affronts alone, naked and isolated as it is, three formidable powers ; which seizes on a city, establishes a government, and calls to arms all that responds to the name of Poland ! And a population of heroes is then seen to spring from that nationality which was believed extinct. There are no longer any distinctions either of age or sex ; the Catholic priest, the Jew, and the Protestant take up arms with emu lation; the women combat by the side of men : burgesses, peasants, nobles, are nothing more than citizens, and all these citizens are soldiers uttering the same cry, invoking the same God—the God giving to all the same souls to love their country." The Fiance alludes as follows to the demonstration made on Saturday by the Polish refugees at the Hotel Lam bert : _ -- 4 What is the object of the Debats in rendering an account of this proceeding of the Polish refugees? Is it to give it its approbation? Is it to make it believed that the French Go vernment beholds with interest this manifestation—that it approves of and encourages it? For our part we shall state what we fear Undoubtedly there is no one who does not render homage to the character of Prince Czartoryski, and to the heroic courage with which the Princess Czartoryski devotes herself for the unfortunate Polish refugees. But in giving a grand and official publicity to the . proceeding of the Polish refugees for the purpose of offering the chief power to the Prince, has it been considered what a situation was made for the Government ? This proceeding may not per haps have been seen with indifference by the representa tives of Prussia, Austria, and Russia. They will demtnd from the French Government if it approves of it. We know beforehand the reply. The refugees and Prince Czartoryski himself will be sacrificed, after having been apparently en couraged. The present Cabinet, in accordance with the dy nastic policy, beholds with a sort cf joy the public emotion, the subscriptions which are being organised, and the national movement in France towards the heroic courage of the Poles. That se rves more t h an i s thought the system of peace at all cost. They will give themselves credit for hav ing resisted a national movement in favour of Poland, and already notes are prepared for Berlin, Vienna, and St. Pe tersburgh, to carry protest4tions of devotedness in favour of European order. We cannot say whether the proceedings of the Polish emigrants and the attit u d e o f P r i nce Czarto ryski will impart more force to the insurrection, but it is certain that they will serve the policy which is opposed to them, and which will not only abandon them, but deliver them up, whatever they do. The dynastic policy and the Ministerial policy perceive in this a means of remlertugseert vice to Europe, and they reckon on reaping allthe benefit possible from an agitation which at bottom scarcely dis quiets them."

ARCHES' COURT, March 10. (Before Sir H. JENNER Fusr.) THE OFFICE OF .THE JUDGE PROMOTED BY Mk. DURDEILL`. • THE REY. HODGSON.—JUDGMENT. The arguments in this case occupied the attention of the Court for several days in the course of the last term.. It is a proceeding by articles against the rev. defendant, the chap lain of the county gaol of Salisbury, for having been guilty of improper conduct towards a boy of the name of Besant, who had been convicted of purloining valuable property front letters which passed through the Post-office, in which Besant had been employed. The office of the Judge was promoted by Mr. Burder, the secretary of the Bi s h op o f S al i sbury. For sonic tim e lle Court had thought that, there not having been a preliminary conviction, it could not accept the letters of requisition, but, in order to rid the Ch urc h o f E ngland of such a scandal, he (Sir 11. J. Fust) accepted them, so as to give the party proceeded against the opportunity of deny ing the imputations alleged against him. The offences charged were of a peculiar nature, and the case came be fore the Court under somewhat novel circumstances. The Court would not eater into the disgusting details that were of necessity referred to in evidence, and in the argu ments; and should he (Sir H. Jenner Filet) be thoroughly satisfied that the charges laid were fully proved the strongest sentence that could be passed must be pronounced. The party proceeded against had been the chaplain of the gaol from 1828 till 1843, a period of very nearly sixteen years, holding also several offices in the Church. Did the articles propounded against the Rev. Mr. Hodgson, and the evidence produced in support thereof; show that the crime alleged heal been perpetrated? The Court went over the articles in which the alleged crime was referred to, a f ur th er a ll us i on to the nature o which cannot with propriety be made here. The boy, Desant, was committed to gaol for a post-office robbery, and sentenced to transportation for life, but, through the in strumentality of the Rev. Charles Henry Hodgson, the sen tence was commuted. Undue familiarities between the rev. gentleman and the boy (who was the n seventeen years of age) have been alleged—that provisions and wine were given: by the rev. defendant to the lad, contrary to the regulations of the prison ; but of this there was not any legal proof. There was no doubt that the chaplain did interfere in order to obtain. a commutation of the sentence, as it was the boy's first offeric,e, and having come from respectable parents. There was no secret about this. It may have been weak on the part of the chaplain to have shaken hands with the boy—it may have been foolish to have acted on his part as he had done—but as chaplain of the gaol, arid this boy being juvenile offender, the Court could not consider that such conduct carried with it any suspicion of undue or immoral purposes. The Learned Judge then went over the evidence of the three principal witnesses (all convicts), and held that even as respects the letters received by Mr. Hodgson, and delivered to the boy, the Court did not discover that there was any improper object in view in the attentions that were paid. As to the letter from the Secretary of State,. commuting the sentence from transportation for life to seven ycare, that was a public document, and was of course known by the governor of the prison. The Court must consider and presume that there was nothing wrong on the part of the Rev. Mr. Hodgson in obtaining a commutation of so severe a sentence; on the contrary, the Court must express its conviction that the object was a most praise- Worthy one. But it was said that the attentions paid by the rev. gentleman were more particular than to any other prisoner. The Court did not think this could be made a charge, especially to support such a heinous offence as that alleged.. The rev. defendant might have been weak in those attentions, but the Court could not infer that a crime, such as had been alleged, had been committed, or that any implication of the kind could by possibility be inferred. After adverting to many other branches of the case, a detailed re ference to which, under the circumstances, ought not to be given, the Learned Judge held, that there was not any im proper partiality shown towards the boy Resent; that the endearing appellations made use of, such as calling him " his dear boy," showed nothing of guilt. The reverend defendant was an old man, and made use of foolish expressions. That this was the opinion of the Governor of the prison, Mr. Dowding, there could not be any doubt. The Governor spoke highly of the conduct of the reverend defendant dur ing the whole period he had been chaplain. The evidence of Spackman, on the 11th article (this witness, too, being a convict, and not a competeat witness, except under the last Act of Parliament), the Court was bound to receive, but with great caution. The Court was of opinion that, from the Acts stated, there was nothing wrong to be imputed of the character charged. There might have been a weakness or indiscretion, but that there were any such guilty motives of the character named had not been proved. The other witnesses examined to support the charge were also con victs under sentence of transportation. It was clear that the reverend gentleman did shake hands with the boy, and affectionately talk and laugh with him, but that was done in the presence of the turnkeys and others of the prisoners in the gaol. The principal foundation of the charge was that the Rev. Mr. Hodgson was shut up upon several occasions with the boy for half or three-quarters of an hour at a time in the day-room; but from this the Court could not infer any such immoral conduct as that imputed. The Rev. Mr. Hodgson told the gaoler that he took a warm interest in the fate of the boy, and the Court could not infer that there were improper motives ih the conduct of the rev. gentleman towards the party. The Rev. Mr. Hodgson might have acted with weakness, but the Court could not hold that there was any criminality. The Learned Judge, upon the whole case, held that the articles exhibited against the Rev. Mr. Hodgson had not been proved, and dismissed him from the suit, but the Court would not say anything as to costs. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE BELLEROPHON, 8, AND CALCUTTA, 84, ADVANCED SHIPS FITTING, It affords us much pleasure and satisfaction to report the extreme activity and seamanlike work displayed by the officers awl crews of the Rodney and Albion in the fitting out of the Bellerophon, 78, at Portsmouth, and the Calcutta, 84, at Devonport. Nothing can pos sibly exceed the apparent enthusiasm, good humour, and skill, with which these fine fellows progress in their work. - At Portsmouth, in fitting the Bellerophon, every person, from Captain Collier to the smallest boy, setans to take a delight in trying how nitwit can be done in the shortest possible time, and their la-o gress has astonished all the old veteran officers who assemble daily in the dockyard to see them work. As we before otated, the officers and crew were. all turned over to th.: Bellerophon on Saturday, and live on board her. On Monday, at four ♦.at., the fellows turned to .work, and left off at seven r.u., when the liberty men were allowed on shore. The tops and caps were got over on that day, the lower rigging on, the bowsprit gammoned and partly clothed ; the topmast, crosstrees and caps put on, and the topmast rigging gut over, and topmasts fidded, and the malnyard got across, all heavy work, besides which the tanks were hoisted on board and the water filled. On Tuesday (yesterday) the rigging was set up and rattled down, the topgaPantmasts fetched and rigged, bowsprit com pleted, bobstays and shrtiuds set up, and jlbboom got out, various spars and.stures received, and a number of the main and lower-deck guns got on board ; and advantage was taken of the beautifully lino weather to paint her sides, which will give her a complete appear ance. Should this fine weather continue there is no doubt she will be ready to go to Spithead, or to sea, if required, by Thursday even ing, instead of Saturday, as we before stated. At Devonpert the Aibion's officers and crew went to work on the Calcutta, 84, on Monday morning, with similar spirit, and the pro gress they made in a few hours proved that Jack was put on his mettle. By twelve o'clock the lower rigging was on, set up, and ail three topmasts were on end. At 2 15, P.M., the wizen ,topgallant mast was up, and wizen topsail yard across. It has been boldly asserted that the Albion numbers among her crew some of the finest and ablest seamen is the world. Mr. Henderson, the assistant master attendant of Davenport Dock yard, with a party of riggers and seamen from the Caledonia, I an, ordinary guard-ship, is ordered to proceed in the Devon lighter to Pembroke, :to take charge of the 50-gun frigate Constance, when launched, and navigate her to Devonport, where she will be fitted for commission. Mr. Mills, supernumerary master of the Caledonia, with a party of seamen, are ordered from Devonport to Liverpool, to navigate the iron steam-frigate, Birkenhead, to Woolwich, to be fitted for the pendant. The Rodney, 90, Captain Collier, C.E., will be taken out of the dock at Portsineuth this day. The Carysfort, 26, Captain Seymour, was paid advance wages at Spitheal yesterday morning, and will sail for the Cape on Thurs day evening. The Scout, 18, Commander Loring, is still at Spithead, but will shortly proceed to Plymouth to be paid advance and wait orders. The Snake, 16, Commander Brown, has not yet arrived at Spit head flxim the Tore, but is hourly expected. The Nautilus, 10, Lieut. Commander J. Macdonald, arrived at Spithcad from Brighton on Monday. The Diligence, transport, Martin, master, arrived at Devonport on Sunday from Cork, with some supernumerary Seamen and stores from Ilaulbowline Island. The. Camel, lighter, rebel', master, anived at Devonport with stores from Pembrok,e.on Monday. The Retribution, steam frigate, Captain J,ushington, went to Spit head yesterday morning, where she is ready for service, and will await orders ; it is uncertain where she will go to. The Rattler, steam screw-sloop, Commander Smith, having embarked the baggage and wives and families of the Royal Marines appointed to do duty In Ireland, left for Cork on Sunday evening. Among other practices which hare come to light since the exposure of the frauds connected with the railway mania, is a very singular one for entrapping unsuspecting persons into the unenviable position of provisional committee-men. Parties a tlt am y w e e a r t e , repre senting projected railways have been known to call on the most respectable inhabitants of the town or village through which the line was to pass, and to request them to give their names in token of be premises.s I it e d riF tohi This, told, was waorispi•o requisiteva tif a t ' e t a ] w bi ti o y a near l n tl a i e t i o r and they were assured that they were neither obliged to take shares, nor would be in any manlier responsible.

CHURCH FOR THE SEAMEN OF LONDON.—The build ing of this church was commenced on Monday by Messrs. Cubht. It will contain 800 free seats, and will cost, including the site and en. dowment, about 9,0001. M r. H enry Roberts is the architect. JEWS' ORPHAN .ASYLUM.—On Tuesday the fbunda lion stone of the new building in connexion with this Institution. was laid by the Rev. N. M. Adler. chief rabbi of the Jews in Great Britain. The new building, which is a neat and convenient strue- ture, is to be erected on the Tenter Ground, Whitechapel, and will adjoin the district church of St. Mark. The asylum has been en dowed by Mr. A. L. Moses, in memory of his late wife, Mrs. Abigail Moses. Several liberal contributions were announcei, and a letter was read from the Queen Dowager expressing her regret at being un able to attend. Fine magnitude of the deposits in savings'-banks, and the great number of persons directly or indirectly interested In them, have led naturally, at this time of class journalism, to the issue of a periodical especially for their use, called the Savings' Ban , l, Circular, in which, to judge from the specimens yet published, much useful information may be found.
