Tbtr 151ittion SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. NORFOLK RAILWAY COMPANY. (THIS DAY.) The half-yearly general meeting of this Company was held at their offices, Guildhall -buildings, to-day, at one o'clock. Adam Duff, Esq , took the chair. The SECRETARY having read the advertisement of the meeting, then read the report of the directors for the past six months. It stated that the accounts for the half-year, ending the 30th of June last, showed a gross amount of revenue of 37,9361. 14s. Bd., making the total income, for the eleven months during which the line had been opened throughout, 62,9791. 14s. 11d., a result considered by the directors to be as favourable as could be ex pected in the first year of a new line; that out of this the directors recommended a dividend to be declared at the rate of six per cent. upon the capital paid up ; that the branch to East Dereham would be opened by the Ist of Oc tober, and the branch to Lowestoft about the same time; that the directors had been successful in obtaining Bills for the East Dereham branch to Fakenham, Wells, and Blakeney, and for carrying out the arrangement for vesting the Lowe stoft railway and harbour in the Company; and that during the eleven months ending the 30th June, there were 393,063 passengers conveyed upon the Norfolk Railway, out of which 28,254 were booked between Norwich and London, or about one-thirteenth of the whole, and that these passengers gave a gross revenue of 9,3031. 10s. 6d., being less than 300/. a mile for the whole year. . _ The CliAlltilAlq then said, that the report which had been drawn up at some length would make it unnecessary for him to say much. The first subject alluded to in it was the re venue, and on that head it was a subject of congratulation to the directors that the line bore out all their expectations. It had never been the custom of the directors to exaggerate the prospects of the Company; they had always promised them a line at a small cost, with a remunerating traffic, and their words were completely fulfilled. The work ing expenses bad, as usual, been calculated and set down at 40 per cent. That was the best arrangement at the present which they could make, but when the line was in full work ing a more detailed estimate would be given. However, it was for the shareholders to recollect that when the Ely and Peterborough line was opened it would be wrought with their own staff, without any other addition than that of some station clerks. He said he had no great fear of the London traffic being diverted from the line; but, he said, their great salvation was the small cost of their line, being not much above 15,0001. a mile, including their plant and stations. As for the Eastern Union Railway, if they succeeded at first in materially damaging them, that Company would bitterly re pent it themselves. He concluded by moving that the re port read be received, printed, and circulated among the shareholders. Captain TINDAL seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN moved that a dividend be declared at the rate of six per cent. upon the capital paid up, on the respec tive shares as follows: 12s. per share on 7,500 Yarmouth and Norwich shares. lls. 10d. ... on 1,875 New Yarmouth and Norwich shares. lls. id. ... on 19,000 Norwich and Brandon shares. 2.. Bd. ... on 22,000101. shares. Os. Bd. ... on 39,375 21. shares. Mr. HARVEY seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN moved that, pursuant to the power con tained in the Company's Act of the present session, ant ad ditional capital of 300,0001. be raised in 15,000 shares of 201. each, and that upon such shares there shall be granted a dividend at the rate of Si. per cent. per annum, in preference to and before any dividend shall be paid upon the other stock and shares of the Company, and shall not be entitled to any further proportion of the profits of the undertaking or any future creations of capital. This resolution was seconded and carried. The CHAIRMAN moved that the 9,375 shares of 20/. each of the late Yarmouth and Norwich Company and the 1,900 shares of 2/. each in the late Norwich and Brandon, and the 39,375 shares of 2/. each in the same company, be consolidated into a general capital stock, and divided amongst the shareholders, according to their respective inte rests and shares. This resolution being seconded, was put and carried una nimously. The CHAIRMAN moved that such shares be appropriated among the subscribers to the extension stock, in proportion of one share for every three subscribed for, and that until such shares be paid upon fully, interest at the rate of 5 per cent. be allowed upon the advanced calls from the time of payment upon these shares respectively. The resolution was put and carried neni. con. The Ciient.mAx moved that the directors be authorised to raise 100,0001. upon loan, under the powers of the Act. Mr. PARSONS seconded the resolution, which was put and carried. Before the meeting was dissolved, The Rev. Mr. HERRING, of the parish of Thorpe, represented to the meeting the lack of church ac commodation in that parish, on which the Com pany had lately built a considerable hamlet, and located a large number of their servants. He said that it was proposed to rebuild the parish church, which at present was too small, and that from 1,700/. to 1,8001. had already been raised for the purpose. He hoped that the Company, in consideration of their servants, would give 3001. for this object. Some discussion ensued between Dissenters and Church men, the former of whom gave way, on hearing that the directors had handsomely given ground for a site on which to erect a school connected with the British and Foreign School Society. A resolution voting 3001. for this purpose was moved and seconded, and carried unanimously. A vote of thanks to the Chairman and the directors having been passed, the meeting adjonrned. CHARING-CROSS-BRIDGE COM. PANY.-(THIS DAY.) The general half yearly meeting of the shareholders in this Company took place this day, at No. 9, Villiers-street, Strand; William Hawes, Esq., in the chair. The fallowing report was read by the Secretary, and unanimously adopted : " Your directors have to report that the tolls of the past half-year will justify a dividend of 12s. 6d. per share, being at the rate of five per cent. on the capital stock of the Com pany, the payment of which they recommend accordingly to the meeting. Your directors have not yet obtained the Act of Parliament to enable them to convey the bridge to Messrs. Jackson and others : they think it due to the proprietary to state that the report of the Commissioners appointed to ex amine the plans for the proposed railway termini in and near the metropolis, has retarded the progress of the Bill in Par liament. Your directors very much regret to be again obliged to refer to the differences existing between the Hun gerford-market Company and this board. After the strongly expressed opinion of the last general meeting against law proceedings, your directors submitted plans for the arrange ment of the steam-boat passenger traffic to the directors of the Hungerford-market, so advantageous to that Company that nothing but a disinclination on their part to co-operate in obviating the difficulties incidental to a strict construction of the agreement, can account for their refusing. All attempts, therefore, to arrange the difference between the companies having failed, and the market directors still refusing to refer the subject to the consideration of some competent authority for decision, your directors have no other alternative, to avoid law proceedings with which they are threatened, than to en deavour to carry out the provisions of an agreement, a slight modification of which would afford to the public ample accommodation, and without which confusion and delay must arise to all frequenting the pier and bridge, to the injury cf both companies. The correspondence between the companies is printed, for the use of the shareholders. A statement of the accounts of the Company is annexed. Three of your directors and one auditor retire from office, in accordance with the 68th section of the Company's Act of incorporation, but being eligible for re-election, offer them selves accordingly." The following - gentlemen were then re-elected as di rectors :—Mr. Hobbes, Mr. Millar, and Mr. Sutton. A. vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, and the westing separated. It was stated that the bridge had cost above 119,000/. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Room B. BATTLE OF THE GAUGES. 'This Committee commenced its sittings this morning at eleven o'clock. The Noble Lords who constitute this Com mittee are—Lord Scarborough (chairman), Lord Calthorpe, Lord Churchill, Lord Forester, Lord Silchester, commonly known as Lord Longford. The schemes referred to the consideration of their Lord ships are— Grand Junction Railway, Showhill and Portobello Branch. And the Taff Vale Railway upon re-commitment. Their Lordships decided upon proceeding first with the GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY, (SHOWHILL AND PORTOBELLO BRANCH). Mr. TALBOT, Q.C., opened the case on behalf of the pro moters of the Bill. The object of the proposed line was to construct a branch, on the narrow gauge, from the Grand Junction line, of about three miles in length, to afford the means of a better communication with the town of Wolver hampton, and also to give to that town the benefit of a com munication with the South Staffordshire Railway. his Learned Friend Mr. Austin appeared for the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway. The object of his opposition was to prevent the construction el this narrow gauge branch, and thereby to shut out the Grand Junction line from the central station at Wolverhampton. The Learned Counsel appeared on the part of the promoters of the line to give the Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton Railway access to the central station at Wolverhampton, or to refer the question to the arbitration of the Board of Trade, as to whether the line ould be laid out between Showhill and Portobello in such a manner as to accommodate both gauges. Mr. Locke, C.E., engineer to the line, was then called and examined by Mr. Hors.--In examination he stated that there would be no station at Showhill, the point of junction on the Grand Junction line, and there would not, therefore, be any accommodation for the traffic of the Ox ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line, supposing such traffic to be carried in that direction through Wolverhamp ton. The station at Wolverhampton was laid out with a view of giving accommodation to five different companies, and he considered that these five companies on the narrow gauge would be sufficiently complex without having the additional difficulty to contend with of laying down a line upon ,the broad gauge. Mr. Jordan, chairman of the South Staffordshire line, was the next witness called, who stated that he considered the proposed branch would be of 'great public importance. The central station at Wolverhampton was purchased by the South Staffordshire line; subsequently the four other Com panies alluded to by Mr. Locke, including the Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton Railway, were allowed to run into the station. and it was only till latcly that he had beard of the proposition of the Broad Gauge Company to extend their line to Showhill. gMr. Lan e , C.E., eng i neer ofthell South Staffordshire line, ave evidence of a similar nature. Mr. Swift, solicitor to the Grand Junction Railway, was by Mr. HorE on the subje c t o f an agreement ade between the Grand Junction Company and the Oxford, Wo r, - rester, and Wolverh am pt on C ompany, b y the terms of which the Broad Gauge Company bound themselves not to go be yond the central station at Wolverhampton towards the north. This concluded the case en behalf of the promoters of the Mr. AUSTIN, Q.C., then addressed the Committee in oppo sition to the Bill, and contended that if this branch were made it should be made in such a manner as to afford the greatest possible convenience to the public, with a due regard to the proprietors of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, and also in such a manner as to avoid the proposed level crossing TI Z SUN, LONDON ) THURSnA V 1 EVENING, ATTCHTST 13, MK over the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway near the central station, which would be aged by ) the different companies referred to by Mr. Locke and the I other witnesses c lied by his Learned Friend in support of their case. The Learned Counsel concluded his address 1w calling the attention of their Lordships to three clauses which he proposed to insert in the Bill, making it compulsory upon the promoters of the line to afford suitable accommodation between Wolverhampton and Showhill for the Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton Railway. The Learned Counsel then called Mr. W. Mathews, director of the South Staffordshire and other railways, who stated that in consequence of the late ar rangements which had been come to by the Grand Junction Railway . with the London and Birmingham Railway, and their fusion into the Great North-Westion scheme, the directors of the South Staffordshire line had thought it inexpedient to leave this branch entirely in the hands of the Grand Junction Railway. The witness also went at considerable length into the details of the disagreement which had taken place between the various companies in consequence of this amalgamation of interests. In the course of the witness's examination by Mr. HOPE, he admitted that he could net say what interest the Grand Junction Company could have in carrying the traffic away from Wolverhampton, rather than through the central station of that town. Mr. Brunel, C.E., engineer to the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, was then examined, and stated that he had always thought that the line up to Showhill was to be used by the broad gauge line as well as the narrow gauge line; and he had stated his opinion to that effect to the directors of the Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton Railway, when spoken to by them upon the subject. If the broad gauge trains were allowed to run on this line in continuation with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, they would then be able to compete upon fair grounds with the Grand Junction and other existing companies. Lord CHURCHILL said that the real difficulty which he thought the Committee had to deal with was the question of the level crossing proposed to be made by this railway near the station at Wolverhampton. Mr. Horx said that he did not think any difficulty existed upon that point, as the crossing being so close to the station, the trains would consequently be in estate of quietus. Lord CHURCHILL said that unless the parties could come to some arrangement between themselves he was afraid that the Committee would be compelled to refuse their sanction to the line, upon the ground of this level crossing; and further intimated their opinion that evidence upon this point was desirable. Mr. HOPE then called Mr. Brunel, who said that the line would cross the line of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton Railway in a very injurious manner, as it would interfere with the various forks and switches belonging to the station. Mr. IIoPE then proceeded to address their Lordships, but was interrupted by Lord CHURCHILL, who stated that the Committee had made up their minis on the subject, and the only question which they wished to hear the Learned Counsel on, was the level crossings, and he thought the better course would be for the parties to come to some arrangement. A clause was then submitted, on the part of the promoters, by Mr. HOPE, regulating the number of trains which should pass through Wolverhampton, from the Grand Junction Railway, or submitting the same to the decision of the Board of Trade. Mr. AUSTIN, Q.C., could not accept of it, and would come to no terms whatever upon such grounds. Mr. HOPE then said that he would take the opinion of the cutter, as to the level crossings, and proceeded accordingly to address the Committee upon this point, and contended that no danger could possibly arise from this level crossing, because it was near to the station, at which point the trains would be comparatively quiet. Level crossings were not at all unusual; upon the London and York Railway there were several of them, and with the slightest care and diligence on the part of the officials of the Company, no difficulty or danger could possibly arise. The room was then ordered to be cleared; upon our re admission, CHAIRMAN announced that the committee were quite ready to pass the Bill, if the clauses postponed by the oppo nents were inserted in it, and he hoped the parties would come to some arrangement. Ms. HOPE said that, with such clauses, he could not accept the Bill, and must therefore withdraw it. The Learned Counsel also stated, that in consequence of the intimation of the committee that he should confine his remarks exclusive!) , to the question of the level crossings, he had purposely ab stained from going into the subject of these clauses. They were money clauses, and could not be entertained by their Lordships. . The parties having deliberated for some time, Mr. HOPE stated, that the difference between the parties was so great, that he did not think they would prepare any clause at all likely to give satisfaction to the parties, and as to the proposed clauses he must say, on the part of the pro moters, that they could not for a moment think of receiving them. If their Lordships, therefore, were of opinion that such clauses were necessary to the Bill, he must beg leave to withdraw it. The Bill was accordingly - withdrawn. The result of the contest, therefore, is similar to that of the celebrated battle of the Kilkenny cats, for neither the broad nor the narrow gauge remain in possession of the field, and and it may be said that the coaduct of the promoters in the fight has been similar to that pursued by parties who, in order to prevent their treasures falling into the grasp of the enemy deliberately set fire to or otherwise destroy them. TAFF VALE RAILWAY. Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM then opened the case for the promoters of this scheme. This Bill has been referred back to the Committee, in consequence of some technical error. Considerable discussion arose as to whether Mr. Calvert, who appeared for the Glamorganshire Canal, in opposition to the Bill, had or had not a locus standi before the Com mittee. The CHAIRMAN at length decided that Mr. Calvert had not proved, to the satisfaction of the Committee, sufficient grounds to enable him to have a locus standi before their Lordships. Mr. Heighton, the engineer to the line, was then called, and asked a few formal questions. After which their Lordships declared the preamble of the Bill to be proved.

(THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) BRITISH POSSESSIONS BILL. On the order of the day for going into Committee on Bill being read. _ _ Mr. GOLTCBURN said he wished to offer a few ob servations. The policy hitherto pursued by the Govern ment in relation to the colonies was to regulate their commercial proceedings by Act of Parliament; but in the present Bill a departure from that course was pro posed, and the colonies were to be left to regulate their own commercial affairs—thus taking away an authority which the British Legislature had invariably exercised, and placing it in the hands of the colonial legislatures. He should like to hear some good reasons for this new policy before the Bill was allowed to pass. It was his impression that great inconvenience would arise from leaving these matters to the colonies. Each colony would act according to its own views of what was ex pedient, and thus there would be a want of that har mony and uniformity of principle which was so de sirable in colonial affairs. He considered it would have been much wiser for the Government to have introduced a general Bill into the House, fixing on a general prin ciple the rate of duties which should be imposed on the commerce of all the colonies. Should they depart from the principle on which they had hitherto acted in the present instance, the next step would be for the colonies to take the regulation of the navigation laws also into their own hands. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER be, lieved it would have been better for the British Legisla ture to regulate on a general principle the duties im posed on the commerce of the colonies ; but, as no time had been afforded for consulting with the colonies on the subject before the end of the session, the Government thought it would be better, rather than that the colonies should be without the means of raising supplies, that the present Bill should be introduced. By another session the whole subject might be fully considered, and such steps taken in regard to a general measure as might be thought most expedient. Mr. WARBURTON thought the principle of the present measure dangerous, and likely to prove in the colonies subversive of free trade. Though the Right lion. Gentleman who last spoke said the question might be fully considered in another session, in looking into the Bill he found it was to be a permanent measure. Mr. HENLEY briefly expressed himself against the principle of the measure. Mr. NE WDEGATE also thought the principle of the Bill a bad one, and thought that, whatever was done with it, it should not be made a permanent measure. Mr. HUME thought they should be careful how they parted with any of the powers of the House, and he would advise the Government to postpone the consideration of the question. If the colonies were to be placed in a more in dependent position, they should take care that they were placed in such a position as to regulate their own finan cial affairs without interference from any British Acts of Parliament. Ills opinion was, that the,colonies should have the management of their own financial affairs. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, he differed very much from his Hon. Friend, the Member f or Ke n d a l, wh o h a d said that we ought not to allow our colonies any con siderable power in regulating their trade according to their wishes, and he also differed from his Right Hon. Friend, the Member for the University of Oxford, who thought that the Legislature ought to pass an imperial Act with regard to these matters. go (Lord John Russell) thought that they would hate great difficulty in legislating in that way during the present session. This country had adopted for them selves generally the principles of free trade, and had determined not to preserve any differential duties for the sake of protection merely—that they would not impos e duties upon.one country more than on another, or upon foreign productions more than colonial productions, or upon foreign productions more than upon our home productions. But, in applying those prin ciples, they must make some exceptions with regard to the colonies. His flotnurabie Friend the Member for Kendal, bad, in the course of the present session very warmly and ably supported a differential duty of 15s. upon the articles of timber. He had also supported the 15 per cent. ad valorem duty upon silk, and he (Lord John Russell) thought that the Government had now a right to look to that Hon. Member, consistently with his votes upon those occasions, for his support on this. In his (Lord John Russell's) opinion, the fairest mode of dealing with this question was to allow (Le colonies to deal with their matters of com merce as they deemed best. The L. gislature would still reserve to the Crown the controlling power by which ran ux;ensiie variety and multiplicity of duties might be Avoided, and likewise the power of calling upon the ,ecretary of a colony to require the governor thereof to explain to any other colony what were the general prin ciples which guided his conduct. The House then resolved itself into Committee on the 1101; Mr. GREENE in the chair. On the Ist clause having been read, Mr. BORTHWICIC and Mr. HENLEY deprecated the discussion of so important a matter at so late a period of the session. The powers given to the colonial legisla tures were unheard of. Mr. C. BULLER said that the Legislature of this country had frequently delegated to Canada and other colonies powers quite as great as those intended to be delegated to our other colonies by this Bill. Mr. GOULBURN denied that those powers alluded to were as comprehensive as those conferred by the Bill before the House. In answer to Mr. SPOONER, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that all that this Bill contemplated was the enabling of our colonies to repeal as many of the additional duties as were now imposed upon foreign goods as they pleased. The clauses were then a g r ee d to, and the Bill reported without amendment. It was ordered to be engrossed, and read a third time on Saturday. The House then resumed. IRON WAR-STEAMERS. Mr WAWN wished to know, from the Secretary of the Admiralty, how many iron war-steamers were being built , and also, whether any experiments have been tried as to the eff eta of cannon shut upon iron vessele, and if those experiments have been satisfactory or not; and lastly, whether the Government intend to persevere in 'he building of iron war-steamers? Mr. WARD said, in reply to the first question of the Hon. Gentleman, that there were 16 iron war steamers at present in commission ; that there were four not in commission, including the Birken head, which was 14,000 tons burden, and 556 horse-power. There were seven more building, in cluding the Simoon, which was 1,953 tons and 780 horse-power. IN ith respect to the second question, he said that one experiment had been made, and it would be highly improper as yet to give any opinion as to what might be its e ff ec t for the purposes of war. With respect to the last question, the Board of Admiralty would be ex tremely cautious in giving any new orders for building any more iron war-steamers. They had, however, de cided on nothing definitive as vet. PAVILION AT BRIGHTON. Captain PECHELL, having observed by the supple mentary estimates that it was proposed to sell this palace, wished to know from the Chancellor of the Ex chequer whether it was intended to do so by Act of Parliament, or by virtue of the powers vested in the Woods and Forests? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would answer the question to-morrow. BOROUGH OF ST. ALBAN'S. Mr. WARBURTON presented a petition from the Earl of Listowel, complaining of the return of Mr. Bond Cabbell for the borough of St. Alban's. The reports on the Tutnpike Roads (Ireland) Bill and on the Ejectment, &c., (Ireland) Bill were received. LUNATIC ASYLUMS (IRELAND) BILL. The Committee on this Bill was postponed till Mon day. The House then adjourned till Five o'clock. The House resumed at Five o'clock. SMALL DEBTS. Mr. BROTHER FON presented a petition from Sal ford in favour of this Bill. MEDICAL REGISTRATION BILL. Mr. WAELEY presented a petition from several members of the Colleges of Surgeons of England and Leland, in favour of this Bill, and praying that it might be passed in the present session. LUNATIC ASYLUMS. Mr. WAKLLY presented a petition from a Mr. Mildyard (as we understood . ), stating that the present lunacy laws were not framed go as to enable the Com missioners of Lunacy to judge whether some lunatic asylums were better managed than others, of the treat ment of te lunatics, and whether they were treated properly or nor, and praying that these laws might be altered as speeeily as pssible. THE MILITIA. _ _ Mr. WAICLEY presented a petition from the inhabi tants of Stoke Newington and Islington, praying that the militia might not be called out. FLOGGING IN THE ARMY AND NAVY. Mr. WAKLEY presented petitions from Twicken ham, Hendon, Hammersmith, Reading, and from mem bers of the National Association, signed in the aggregate by 544 persons, praying the House to abolish flogging in the army and navy. The petitioners agreed in stat ing that the practice of flogging was disgraceful to a Christian country, and that it ought to be immediately abolished. SUNDAY TRADING. Mr. WAKLEY also presented a petition from the churchwardens, overseers, and guardians of the poor or St. Luke's parish, praying the House to introduce a measure to prevent Sunday trading. Mr. HUNIE presented a petition from the Tower Hamlets, praying that that district might not be included in the operatioa of the Small Debts Bill. Also a petition from a merchant of Liverpool, com plaining of being harshly treated by the Trinity House authorities, and praying the house to substitute inqui ries into the powers and management of the trustees of that charity. Also a p . i.tition from a parish in the county of Norfolk complaining of the enormous amount of poor rates levied on them (15t. 6d. in the pound), and stating that the neighbouring parishes were supplied with labour from their parish. They prayed that a general rate might be limited in all parishes, instead of the rates being limited to particular parishes. The HON. MEMBER also presented a petition from the inhabitants of Brentford praying for the abolition of corporal punishment in the army as soon as it could The Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod here attended to summon the Commons before the Upper House to hear the Royal Assent given by Commission to several Bills. Mr. FIUME presented a petition from James Sedge wick, Esq., a barrister-at-law, stating that after a long service in the Excise and Board of Stamps, he had been removed from that office, and placed on retiring allowance of 3001. per annum. The petitioner prayed for a Select Committee to in quire into the allegations made against him, and prayed that until such inquiry were made the retiring allow ance might be withdrawn, and that in case of such alle gations icing discovered to be without foundation, that he might be reinstated in his office. The IloN. MEMBER gave notice, that to-morrow he would move that the petition be printed with the votes. Lord MARCUS HILL presented a petition in favour of the Small Debts Bill. FLOGGING IN THE ARMY. Mr. ESTCOURT said, he had a motion on the paper on the subject of flogging in the army; but he under stood that the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary-at- War, objected to make these returns required. He did not know what the Right Hon. Gentleman's objections were, and in the absence of any intimation from the Right Hon. Gentleman upon the subject, he still re mained of opinion that the returns were necessary to supply the House with ample and accurate informa tion with regard to the extent and amount of corporal punishment which bad recently taken place in the army. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving for a return of persons flogged in the army in Great Britain and Ireland, in the years 1845 and 1846, to the end of July ; specifying, 1. The offence. 2. The regiment, the place of station, the time. 3. The sentence. 4. The order for its execbtion. 5. Whether the trials were open to the public, or only open to the regiment, or with closed doors. 6. The number of lashes inflicted, and the day. 7. How soon after punishment the man was able to return to his duty, and ut what place he was then quartered. 8. Whether death has followed within twelve months of the flogging, and the date of such death. 9. Whether the punishment was inflicted, if in cavalry re giments, by the trumpeter or farriers ; if in infantry re giments, by privates or drummers, and with what instru ment. 10. Copies-of the surgeon's minutes of all such punishments, and any subsequent observations on their consequences. Mr. FOX MAULE had hoped that after the recent discussion on this painful subject, and after the deter mination of' the Commander-in-Chief on the subject, the matter would have been left at rest for the pre sent. With respect to the returns sought, he had no objection to give them for the last year—noting the number of cases of flogging, the offence, the regiment, the place of station, the time, and the sntence. He did not see much use in giving th - e order for its execution, though he would have no objection to that. With regard to the trials, the custom usually was to conduct court-martials with open doors, and he had never heard any complaints with regard to the mode in which these investi gations were conducted. Nos. 6 and 7 returns he had not any great objection to, but he could not agree that any returns such as those sought under head 8 should be given. It would lead to the supposition that the death of any oldier within a twelvemonth after his being flogged, from whatever cause, was to be attributed to that event. As to whether the punishment was inflicted, if in cavalry regiments by the trumpeters or farrier, and if in infantry regiments by the privates or drummers, and with what instrument he had to state, that in infantry regiments it was customary for the drummers to inflict the punishment, and in cavalry regiments the far riers. The instrument of punisment was the "cat:" any irregularity as to which could be easily remedied. With reference to the copies of the surgeon's minutes of such punishments, and any sub sequent observations on their consequences, he looked upon them as confidential communications to the com manding officer ; any attempt to call for which would be an interference with the discipline of the army, to which he could not consent. In fine, he did not consider the whole of the return necessary. He considered that the House had reposed confidence in the Commander-in- Chief and the Government with regard to this subject, and he was sure that every possible care would be taken that in future the punishment should not go farther than it ought to go, and that all permanent injury to the indi vidual would be avoided. He would conclude by moving as an amendment the omission of all words after the word " sentence " in the third line. M. w E oul c d on b s e ide a r m ed ply th s a u t ffi t c h i e en fi t ist the fou o r fre p n o c in e, ts th in e name of the r eg i ment, the li m r. o ri tio U n the place where the punishment was inflicted, and the number of lasher. He hoped the Honourable Me m b er (Mr. Escott) would be satisfied with returns on th ese po i nts. He (Mr. Hume) did not see much necessity f or i nformation on the other points. They would then be able to see whether the sentence of the court-martial hrd been properly carried out or not. Mr. NICHOL submitted whether it was necessary to cell f, , r the whole of such an invidious return. Returns specif\ fug thn off_.nce, the name of the regiment, the place where the punishment was inP.lcted, and the sen tence of the court-martial, would, in his estimation, be suflient to enable the House to judge how that depart ment or the Government was conducted. If the whole return were granted, a stigma would, perhaps, be thrown on officers who might not have an opportunity of defend ir.g themselves. • Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS considered that the re turns which the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. F. Nlaule.) had agreed to, would be sufficient. The others would, pos sibly, cast aspersions on the service. After the expla nations in that House, and after the statements of an illustrious individual elsewhere, he thought that the Hon. Gentleman would not have persisted in his motion. The House and the country could not fail to see that the practice was growing into disuse, and when the moral character of the soldier was improved it would fall into disuse without being absolutely abolished. Besides, the measures now being carried out by the proper departments would have the proper effect. He had commanded on foreign stations for a quarter of a century, and could safely say that the punishment was never resorted to except when absolutely necessary. and never without a degree of pain to those whose duty compelled them to resort to it, which ought to prevent the officers from being stigmatised as wanting in humanity. There were several measures of great utility that might be brought forward, and which would, only for the want of finances. Fur instance colonial securities might be mitigated. He trusted this explanation would he considered sufficient by the House, and that the Honourable and Gallant Gentleman would withdraw his motion. _ Lord J. RUSSELL said, that with respect to giving the name of the regiment would give rise to invidious com parisons, which, at the same time, would be very unjust, for in one case an army might require punishment, and in another not. A case to this effect was stated by General Taylor. Mr. WAKLEY said that, after having examined, his opinion was unchanged. Their motion was not refused without a motive, for he believed it would be very inconvenient to produce these returns, as they would give facts to show that the brutal and disgusting practice of punishment by flogging ought to be at once and for ever abolished. He inferred, from what had fallen from the Hon. Gen tleman opposite, that in his opinion the practice of flog ging had nearly arrived at its termination. Why, when the number of lashes was reduced from 1,500 to 1,000, the reduction was hailed with delight by the army ; but still an opinion prevailed that the number could not be further reduced. The number, however, was subsequently reduced to 200, and then the reduction was admitted to be necessary; but still it was thought in the army that it could riot further be reduced. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. ROYAL ASSENT. The Royal assent was given to-day, at a quarter past five o'clock, by commission, to the following nineteen Bills : The Consolidated Fund Bill. The Art-Unions Bill. Airdrie and Bathgate Junction Railway Bill. East' ru Counties Railway and Thames Junction Branches Bill. Rugby and Leamington Railway Bill. West London Railway Improvement and Extension Bill. London a►:d South-Western (Basingstoke and Salisbury Extension) Bill. Monmouthshire Railway (No. 2) Bill. Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway Bill. Andover Canel Navigation Bill. Tramore Embankment Bill. Briti4l Guarantee Association Bill. The Bishop of Norwich's (North Lynn Rectory) Estate Bill. Borthwick's Estate Bill. Lowestoft Charity Estate Bill. Pemberton's (or Gervis's) Estate Bill. Clark's Divorce Bill. Matthysson's Divorce Bill. The Bishop of Jerusalem's Naturalisation Bill. The Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, Earl Fortescue, and the Earl of Shaftesbury. The LORD CHANCELLOR retired, and in a few minutes afterward: took his seat on the Woolsack. DEODANDS ABOLITION BILL. Lord CAMPBELL moved the second reading of this Bill, which was agreed to. Lord DEM/lAN presented petitions against the Sugar " -- .l.ies Bill. LAW OF ARREST. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from a Mr. Ouverard, complaining of a false arrest. He thought the law that led to abuses of this nature should be altered It was a great pity that judges were not agreed, and some would not allow a man to swear to whatever sum he had until they had inquired into the circumstances of the debt. Now, what would be the case, for instance, if the Noble Lord who was going to Paris in an official capacity, shold be arrested for any alleged debt. Lord CAMPBELL said that,•without doubting the statement of the petitioner, he, nevertheless, thought the law was in a very satisfactory state at present. It would be impossible to make a law which would be free from such circumstances. Lord BROUGHAM said what he complained of was, that the judge should have indorsed for the whole sum, and their Lordships should remember that, it was not a contract which was alleged in the affi lavit, but a ;sum, of money was sworn by the person making the affidavit as the amount which he con►idered that his services were worth. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that no law could he made which would be just and equitable which would not be open to the same abuses. The judge had nothing to rely upon but the affidavit of the complainant. Messengers from the Commons brought up several Bills, which were read a first time. POOR-LAW COMMISSIONERS. Lord BROUGHAM moved for a return of certain connalunicatiors made to the Poor-law Commissioners. He stated that one of the Commissioners had taken upon himself to desire the secretary to the Commission not to make the return moved for in that House. The Commissioners ought to feel that they were bound to comply with the orders of their Lordships. LEFT SITTING." • ccnlirtn our fears that this destructive plague is general and severe. The early sorts, which last year either en tirely escaped or were only very partially tA2cted, are already quite diseased. A' A PERTIMIRE.—Much has been said (says the Perth Courier, in its Agricultural Report for July) by vege table physiologists about the potato disease commenc ing in the leaf and descending to the tuber; but of the theory we are led to doubt, by observing that many dis eased tubers have the rootlets that attach them to the stem quite sound and fresh, while the embryo potato at its point is a bloated mass; but whatever the cause may be, the disease is this season of a general and deadly nature—many fields which a few weeks ago would have brought 161. to 201. an acre, cannot now be sold at 5/. If, however, our theory is correct, those fields, or even parts of fields, that still retain fresh foliage and sound tubers, should the weather throughout this month (Au gust) and next continue ordinarily dry, many may yet escape unaffected, and potatoes may yet be safely cultivated in future years. We would conclude this part of our report just by asking, when, in the annals of meteorology, 10A- inches of rain fell before in the short space (4'31 days, while potatoes were in a growing state ; and what was the result ? A disease in some parts amongst cattle has also produced an uncertainty in cattle markets. Dealers prefer purchasing from healthy stock at pasture. PORFARSIIIRE.—The disease made its appearance in various situations about the middle of Ist month, and since then it has been gradually extending both in the gardens and fields, and to all appearance a large portion of the crop will be lost. The kidneys were first affected, and in many cases are literally destroyed ; but the dis ease does not seem confined to them, as other varieties are sharing the same fate. It is reported to prevail to a considerable extent in the neighbourhood of Stonehaven, Fettercairn, Laurencekirk, Arbuthnot, Auchinblae, &c. Some fields have been or are immediately to be ploughed up. It appears to affect the crop very rapidly, as the most healthy looking crops have been observed to get into a sickly state in a few days. DUNDEE.--It is now Lut too certain that the undis covered foe which spread havoc among the potato crops of last year has again commenced its ravages. The visitation is earlier this year than formerly ; it is also evident that it is far more extensive. 'We have heard already not merely of fields, but of entire parishes in which it is scarcely anticipated that there will be a single sound potato. Another peculiarity is, that hereas it was stated by Professor Johnston and others that last year the disease was not found farther north than Montrose, it has now made its way beyond that latitude, and is ravaging the fields of Aberdeenshire. In some extreme cases we are told that the corrupting shawl emit an offensive and unwholesome effluvium, which taints the atmosphere at a considerable distance from the fi.•ld. ARBROATH.—The potatoes in this district are now fearfully affected with the disease—every field yielding to its destruction, according to the forwardness of its crop. Early planting has. only tended sooner to deve lope it, which, with those planted in March and begin ning of April, or previous to winter, began about the second or third week in July. The latest planting, or those planted about the end of May, are just legun to show the disease ; and in one or two instances, where vigorous, are barely yet affected. It would appear that no kind is exempt either from itself, or from condition of soil or manuring. A BERDEEN.—We are sorry to learn that the potato disease, hitherto unknown in Aberdeenshire, has made its appearance in various places, and to such an extent as to excite very general alarm. It was remarked on Deeside last week. It is now to be seen in the parishes of Udny, Tarves, Auchterless, Fyvie, and elsewhere, and its ravages seem to be utterly and rapidly destructive of this valuable root.—Aberdeen Journal. ItIORAYSTERE.—We are sorry to learn that, in com mon with the other counties in the south of Scotland, symptoms of murrain have at last partially appeared in the potato crop in various quarters in Morayshire. Hitherto free from the scourge, the utmost interest is now attached to the future condition of the crop in this district. Where disease has appeared, the former luxu riant blossoms have assumed a blanched and withered as pect—the flower changing into a blackish hue. On ex amining the roots, no disease is apparent on the exterior of the potato ; but, by cutting it, dark brown lines or rings are clearly discernible. In some cases, both garden and field produce are affpctod,—Elgin Courant. PROTEST AGAINST THE SECOND READING OF THE SUGAR DUTIES DISSENTIENT. 1. Because the importation into the United Kingdom of sugar, which is produced by the labour of slaves, tends to promote the slave trade with all its atrocities, and is quite inconsistent with the principle upon which this country has so long acted, and for which it has made, and still continues to wake, enormous sacrifices. 2. Because there is no reason to apprehend a deficiency in the supply of sugar from other sources, as the quantity which is produced in the East Indies, and in other British posses sions is rapidly increasing, which would also be the case with the B -itish cclonies in the West Indies, if they received due protection and encouragement. 3. Because the proposed metsure would be most unjust to those colonies, and would be ruinous to their interests, which have already been grievously injured by reducing the price of their produce without a corresponding reduction of the taxation to which it is subject, and by the want of sufficient labourers for their cultivation. 4. Because the consequences of the proposed measure might be very calamitous, and might occasion such distress and discontent as would ultimately lead to the separation of those very important colonies, w hi c h, w h en d epr i ve d o f t h e protection that is justly due to them, might lose also their allegiance.

The following extracts will show the state of the plant in various localities:— BOXBUIIGLISIIIRE.—We have received the most dis astrous account of the potato crop from all parts of the district. We are sorry to say that there is no doubt whatever that the disease has spread in all directions, and that with a degree of virulence which threatens to de stroy the greater portion of the crop. The disease has not only shown itself much earlier this than it did last year, but it already prevails to a far greater extent; so much so that the most serious apprehensions are entertained for the con sequences. Nor toes the scourge appear to be confined to any particular district ; from all parts of the king dom the same disheartening accounts are received ; in short, it is but too truly looked upon as a great national calamity, to mitigate the sufferings certain to arise from which the most active measures cannot be too soon commenced. In many fields the potatoes have already become so putrid as to give out a most offensive odour; and the most healthy and luxuriant crops, in the coarse of thirty or forty hours, become as black in th e s h aws as if they had experienced an intense frost. The greatest dismay prevails, and the remedies sugaested are numerous, but we very much doubt the efficacy of any of them. Some people are drawing out the shaws, which very easily separate from the potatoes ; ethers ar e cut ting over the shaws as close as possible to the ground with the scythe. COLDSTREAM.—The appearance of the disease in po toes this year again, and particlularly at an earlier period of the season, has occasioned much alarm. It is beyond all doubt that the evil was communicated to the gr oun d l ast year, an d t hat it still lurks there is equally certain. Its attack, therefore, need be no wonder. DussE.—The pntatoe crop in this neighbourhood up to the latter end of July, had a very healthy appear ance, and promised an abundant crop; hut about that time the rot began to make it: appearance, and this week almost every field in this quarter is tainted with it. WlGTOWN.—Potatoes are, to all appearance lost. The . stem in most places is withered and black; the p otatoes small, much tainted, and many of them soft, and rot has nearly consumed them. WHITHORN.—We regret to say that the p otato taint in this district i s a ll b ut un iversal, and the aspect of the crop is such as to ju s tify the most serious alarm. DUMFRIES-SHlRE.—Potatoes, until within the hist fe w days, looked particularly well, b u t we regret to stat e that disease has already madeits appearance. At:lhe beginning of last week, indications of disease were ap parent, but at this date it is not confined to one or two fields, but may be traced to hundreds. Some individuals have begun to cut off the shaws. Where the tub ers are nearly ready for raising, this method is a.good one ; but i where tubers are scarcely formed, tis certainly injudi cious, and more especially so as cutting off th e s h aws i s not an entire preventative of the disease.—J u ly 7. 13xnwxca.—Reports from all the surrounding districts NAVAL IN TELL IC/ENCE. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—The Comet steam-vessel, Lieut.-Commander Johnston, is ordered to take dispatches to Lisbon, as soon as she can be got ready. The Mariner transport, Lieutenant W. Still, agent, arrived this mornirg from the Cape of Good Hope, with invalids and old naval stores; but having left some days before the Mutine, she has brought no news from that colony. She left Ascension on the 29th of June, at which time the Tortoise store and guard ship, Commander Morrell, the Ac tfeon, 26, Captain Manse], the Ferret, 10, Commander Sprigg, and the Rolla, 10, Commander Simpson, were lying there. When the Mariner left Ascension, dysentery was very prevalent; on her passage home, six of the invalids died from that disease. She brings home, as passengers, Captain Broke, promoted from the Thunderbolt steam-sloop at the Cape; Commander the Hon. Mark Kerr, late First- Lieutenant of the President, 50, flag-ship at the Cape; Lieutenant Kooystra, late of the Bittern, invalided ; Dr. Bradford, invalided, from the Actveon ; and Assistant-Sur geon Walter Parsons, of the Hecate steam-sloop, on the coast of Africa. The Alban steam troop-ship, Master Commander Burney, left Cork on the Btll inst. for Devonport, to embark Marines for Pembroke, with whom she proceeds to the latter place. After disembarking them she will return to Devonport with the relief; thence she proceeds to Cork. The Dido, 20, Captain Maxwell, left Dublin on Monday for Cork. The Dee steam-transport, Master Commander Driver, left Cork on Monday, to transfer the reliefs of the Royal Artillery between Liverpool and Dublin. Two transports from Deptford were expected at Cork to embark the 6th Regiment .of Foot for the Cape of Good Hope, to sail on the 10th or 11th inst. The Contest, 12, Commander M'Alurdo, has unmoored preparatory to Failing this evening for the coast of Africa. Some absurd statements having appeared with respect to the armament of this vessel, we give the fact as it is " officially" vouched for by the Government authorities, viz., two 32- pounders, 39 cwt., 7ft., 6in. long, tea 32-pounders, 25 cwt., Eft. long. DUTCH AND FLANDERS MAILS. TIIE HAGUE, AUG. 9.—His Majesty the King arrived at Coblentz on the sth instant, on board the Leenio steamer. He there met with his Royal Highness Prince Frederick of Prussia, lately appointed military governor of Luxemburg, with whom his Mt jesty had an inter view. On the same day his Majesty left Coblentz, to proceed by land to Luxemburg. His Royal Highness Prince Albert of Prussia is ex pected here in a few days. THE HAGUE, AUG. 10.—Her Majesty the Queen, and her licyal Highness Prince Alexander, are to set out for Italy on the 24th, while her Majesty passes some time in Upper Italy, the Prince will visit Rome, Naples, and other great cities. His Majesty the King (who is ex pected to return from Luxemburg on the 15th) will set out on the same day for Silesia, and accompany the Queen and his son for some part of the way. RHENEN, AUG. 7.—This afternoon, about four &clock, a dreadful thunder-storm burst on this town and en virons. Incessant flashes of lightning, and loud claps of thunder, were accompanied by a torrent of hail, which, as it fell, resembled pieces of ice. At five o'clock the violence of the storm was allayed. Happily no lives were lost, but' the destruction of property was very great. The fields which a few moments before looked so promising, seemed as if they hrd been mowed. The fairest prospects of the industrious husbandmen were destroyed at one blow. The buck wheat and pota toes suffered severely, but the tobacco, which is the chief' resource of the labouring classes, was totally annihilated. The damage is estimated at 80,000 florins. The Dutch papers are chiefly filled with the treaty with Belgium, and which is taken from the Belgian papers. BRUSSELS, Auo. 10.—The Chamber has, we have already announced, is to meet to morrow, at 2 o'clock. The King and Queen, with their suite, are expected on Wednesday at Ostend, s on their return from England. They were to embark today at Woolwich. M. Northcomb is coming from Berlin to Belgium. We are assured that he will appear as a witness in the case of Messrs. de Ridder and Borquet M. Henri de Broucheri appointed reporter of the central section, which is to examine the treaty between B- lgium and France. It is still hoped that M. Henri de Broucheri's report may be brought up to-morrow, on the public sit ting of the Chamber. The 17th list of strangers who have visited Spa since the commencement of the season gives the number of 2,900.

MARYLEI3OISE ASSOUIATIO.N. PAROCHIAL COMMITTEE. The fifteenth anniversary of this association, which was formed for obtaining equal parochial rights for the inhabitants of this extensive parish, was celebrated yes terday by a dinner, in the Marylebone Theatre, at which John Williams, Esq., Oxford-street, presided ; G. Daniel, Esq., being vice-chairman. Henry Charles Wilson acting as honorary secretary on the occasion. The business of the day was conducted by a number of gentlemen, who fulfilled their stewardship admirably. Through the liberality of Mr. Loveridge, the proprietor of the theatre, a gentleman who, by the exercise of ability and honourable conduct, has been enabled to build this theatre, and assume his present position in society, the use of the structure, and the gas-light was given gratis. Another gentleman gratuitously boarded the pit over, so as to render the place eligible for the pur pose. Many other instances of a similar spirit might be noticed. The best use was made of the space, and this agreeable little theatre presented a scene of friendly con viviality unusually pleasing, even on such occasions. Indeed, the arrangements were excellent. The dinner, provided by Air. Sarson, of the Windsor Castle, was liberal, and put on the table in his usual style. The vocal corps comprised Mr. Ransford, Mr. Collyer, and Mr. Sporle, who, with the assistance of a b rass b an d , greatly enlivened the proceedings of the day. The at• tendance was very numerous and highly respectable; and the meeting was graced by ladies, who filled the boxes. Among the company present were Sir C. Napier, M P., J. Williams, Esq., M.P., and , with the bulk of the most respectable inhabitants of the district. The cloth having been withdrawn, Non Nobis was sung admirably by the vocalists. After this, The CHAIRMAN said that he had a toast to propose, which be was quite sure would be acceptable to the men of Marylebune. That toast was " The Queen."—(Ap plause.) It was a curious and singular coincidence that this country had always flourished when a Queen was the Sovereign, and it was the peculiar merit of our pre sent Queen, that she was the first who bad governed simply with a view to the benefit of the people, and not with a view to class interests. This was the case now, and he trusted the men of Marylebone would do their ac customed justice to themselves. Glee—" God save the Queen." The next toast which the CHAIRMAN had to propose, and it was one which he was quite sure would meet with a ready response, was " The health of the Prince of Wales, the Prince Albert, the Duchess of Kent, and the rest of the Royal Family resident in England." He trusted every gentleman would charge their glasses with bumpers, as he felt assured every heart would respond to the toast, for he felt equally sure that the Queen would pay as much attention to the education of the Prince of Wales, as the Queen had done to her own. Glee--" God save the Prince and the Queen." The next toast was "The Parochial Committee of Marylebone." For fifteen years, through good report and evil report, the Parochial Committee bad been zealously engaged in obtaining the prin ciple of self government. During the whole of that time, since the Poor-law Commissioners had been appointed, the members of this Parochial Committee had been opposed to the principle of cen tralisation. He had always been opposed to this prin ciple, and had been annoyed by the way in which the magistrates of England had suffered themselves to be insulted by the three Commissioners of Somerset House. Every parish in London succumbed to this despotic Government but the men of Marylebone ; but the wealth, the energy, and the nearness of the parish to the seat of the Government, had enabled the Parochial Committee to oppose with success the endeavours of those despotic monarchs, and had thus brought back the good old Saxon rule of parochial self government. The parish had hurled back into the teeth of those potentates the assumption of power which they had, without any sufficient authority, taken up. This parish—and rot only this parish, but the whole country—were indebted to his Hon. Friend Sir Charles Napier for having brought this subject forward, and for having forced upon the House of Commons the consideration of this subject ; and he trusted that ere long he should have the advantage and the enjoyment of celebrating the utter downfall of those potentates. His friend, Mr. George Daniel, who did him the honour this day to face him, would respond to the toast, and while calling upon the assembly to listen with attention to what tell from his friend, he would assert that a more energetic, able, and persevering man he had never met with in the parish of Marylebone. Mr. DANIEL felt that in the respondence to this toast a great task had been committed to him, but still he felt that it was a task which ought to be agreeable to any man ; and in doing so he would only glance at what had occurred of late years in the business of the parish, and he would only allude to the principles which had been carried out by their com mittee, and the first of these was, that of self-govern ment. This had been exemplified in the present contest in a remarkable manner. Mr. Daniel proceeded through the several points of the discussion, and con cluded an able and eloquent speech, by stating that the objects of this association was the hightest of all— Glory to God, and good principle towards men. Song—" The Vestrymen of Marylebone." Mr. JOSEPH proposed the next toast, and after stating that after having had fourteen or fifteen years' experience, he would say, no man who was a member of the vestry was otherwise than a poor man's friend. (Mr. Joseph here read a letter of apology from Sir B. Hall, which apologised for his absence en the plea of a pleasure excursion to Scotland, which would prevent his attendance.) He did not think this apology satisfactory—(Applause)—and when the asser tion was made he would exempt the Member who was present (Sir C. Napier), who, whenever he was re moved from his present or his future position—whether that position vacated his seat or not—would carry with him the good-will of the electors of Marylebone. Mr. Joseph concluded an able speech by proposing the "Health of the Members for the borough." Sir CHARLES NAPIER returned thanks, in the course of which proceeding he stated his satisfaction at having attended every meeting within the last two years whereat the feelings of the constituency were expressed. After speaking of Sir Robert Peel as going by a cir cuitous course in forwarding the objects of the people, hesaid that the present Ministry had had a severe lesson some time ago, and it must be allowed that all the secondaries had been largely incorporated, and he was perfectly satisfied, that if the same course was pursued, it would lead to large and beneficial measures. He must say that the constituency of Marylebone was the most easy with which he had ever had to deal, for his door was open from nine in the morning till three or four o'clock in the evening, and it was only three or four times a week that he was applied to, either on public or private objects. With respect to the lunatic asylum, he must say, after a patient inquiry, that the pauper had every relief which was necessary, and that if the parishioners would wait till next session, they would obtain every enfranchisement which they desired from the thraldom of the Poor-law Commissioners. Glee—" Should mirth our moments crown." Mr. SAVAGE proposed the health of Mr. Protheroe. M.P. for Halifax, a friend who had come forward in the hour of need, and a friend in need is a friend indeed. Mr. PROTHEROE said that in returning thanks, which he most cordially did, he must disclaim the honour of having come forward in the first instance without solicitation. In the first instance he had been returned for Bristol on the principle that Dissenters were not to pay any part of the expenses of the members of the Established Church, and it was on that principle that he had accepted this invitation. An Hon. Friend of his had alluded to the House of Commons, and in doing so he might say that it was his rule to begin at the beginning of the session, and go on to the end of it. Mr. POTTER proposed the next toast, for the pre vention of centralisation, and stated that in the pro position of this toast he saw individuals from every parish of the nietroplis. He was inclined to repudiate the Bill that was called the Metropolitans' Bill, but he was decided to put the saddle on the tight horse, and call it Protheroe's Bill, and it was to that man above all in the House of Commons that the debt of gratitude was owing. He rejoiced, at any rate, at the presence of one of the members of the borough, but there was one man whose progress through Parliament he had watched, and he was bound to say that there was one who had always been the advocate of the many, and not of the few, and that man was Mr. Williams, the member for Coventry. The toast was drunk with great applause. Mr. WILLIAMS returned thanks, and in doing so said that nothing could be more gratifying to the feelings of a public man than the approbation of his neighbours. He had felt nothing more than the honour of being elected to a membership of the select vestry, and he re gretted that he had not had so many opportunities for attending on this vestry so often as he had desired, but he had other and important duties in another place. It had been his lot to be mixed up with the parishes which had a corrupt system to rely upon. The parish of Marylebone was conducted at one-third of the expense which was outlayed in the City o f London- A - great public writer with whom he was acquainted, bad said that the great salvator of the country viftoany found in th e pr i nc i ple of self-government, a national t, and great calamity sho u ld ar i se , s uch as thatte c ountry must of convulsion, that the great safeguard of h be found i n thi s principle ; and Whenever his services them at the could avail he should be happy to Place dis posal of this constituency. Glee—" When shall we three meet again." Honorary cretary, proposed with Mr. WILSON, great effect the health of Mr. Loveridge, the proprietor of the theatre, and in doing so would part i cularly remar k the attendance of the younger men of the com munity,commonly called " Young England," an d w h o we re to be trustees of the great principl es i n w hi ch they were themselves engaged. lie would take this oppor tunity o f acknowled ging t h e presence of the visitors, who were inhabitants of the neighbouring parishes, and he would associate with them those who had been inhabitants, but who were now members of other parishes, and he never recollected an instance in which they required assistance from the adjacent parishes in which he had ever been ready to render it. He would, therefore, couple the name of Mr. Hovendon with the toast which he had to propose. Mr. HOVENDON returned thanks with much feeling. Several local toasts were afterwards proposed, and the meeting separated to prepare for the ball. THE MURDER AT AINTREE RACES.—Robert Farmes has been fully committed for trial at the approaching assizes, on the charge of having caused the death of Elizabeth Bateson, by strangulation, on the last night of Aintree races. The additional evidence taken yesterday threw very little light on this mysterious and melancholy atfitir.—Liner pool Times.
