RAtLWAY COAIMITTEES. (.", ESTERDAI.7) HOUSE OF LORDS. There were no Railway Committees this day in their .ordshipS' House. HOUSE OF COMMONS. CORM AND wa.TEßronn. GROUP LXXII. The Committee to whom this Bill is referred consists of the Hon. E. Yorke (chairman), Colonel Thomas Wood, Sir D. Le Merchant, Mr. A. Smith, and Mr. Brown. Counsel for the promoters, Mr. Sergeant Murphy, Mr. Talbot, Q.C., Mr. Hope, Mr. Ponsonby, and Mr. Welsh. On the petition of the scripholders and shareholders of the Cork and Waterford, Mr. Sergeant Wrangham and Mr. Murphy, Q.C., appeared for those parties. Mr. Sergeant WHANCIIIIM stated to the Committee that the ground of opposition on the part of his clients had been removed by a satisfactory-explanation from the promoters of the scheme. It appeared that at a meetine of the proprietors there had been 52,000 scrip shares polled, although origin rely there were only 40,000 shales allotted by the Company. This increase was accounted for by the -fact of an amalgama tion which had taken place wi:h the Cork and Youghal Railway Company, who held more than the surplus number of shares in the Cork and Waterford Railway, by virtue of the agreement made for the cariying•out the said amal gamation. The petitioners, therefore, withdrew all opposition. Petitions against the Bill of Cooper Penzose, Esq, Alex. Deantry, Esq., and other proprietors of land on the line, were called upon, but no patties appeared on their behalf. The Committee then proceeded to the formal evidence (the Bill having passed the House of Lords). Mr. TALBOT, Q.C., then opened the case on behalf of the pro moters; he stated that the line would commence near St. Patrick's-bridge, in the city of Cork, terminating at Water ford, and would accommodate, amongst others, the towns or places of Cork, Cove, New Glanmire, Glanmire, Cloyne, Car rigtohill, Middleton, Fermoy, Glanworth, Mitchelstown, Rathcormac, Castle Martyr, Killeagh, Youghal, Lismore, Cappoquin, Tallow, Dungarcan, Stradbally, Kiltnacthomas, Bonmahon, Tramore, S t ud Waterford, embracing a popula • tion of 200,000 souls,lprelusive of the agricultural districts. The line of railway would unite two of the largest cities in the south of Ireland—Cork and WPterford—and would also be the medium of direct communication with all the harbours along the south coast, securing by its junction with the Waterford and Kilkenny and Waterford and Limerick lines, now in progress of construction, an important connexion with the counties of Kilkenny, Tipperary, Limerick, and the midland counties generally; while, by its junction with the Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow, and Dublin Railway (which had received the sanction of Parliament in the present session), and by means of the South. Wales Railway, it will afford the most certain and rapid communication between the south of Ireland and Lon don, the distance being 55 miles shorter than by the Dublin and Holyhead route. The proposed line would also, by means of the Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow, and Dublin Railway, complete a coast communication between Dublin and Cork. The line also embraced the valuable mineral districts of the south of Ireland, more particularly those of Stradbally and Bonmahon; the importance of which might be understood by considering the amount of annual increase in the produce of copper ore from the Knockmahon mines since 1836. Not withstanding the great impediment which want of com munication opposes to the full development of its resources, in 1836 there were raised 3,588 tons, value 33,166 L, and 1844 upwards of 10,000, value 75,0004, and which affords employment to from 1,600 to 2,000 people. A direct and rapid communication will also be opened between this district and Cove, the great naval arsenal of Ireland, to the obvious advantage of the Government of the country. There is no competing scheme. The support of all the large landowners is afforded to the undertaking. The Bill has passed the House of Lord. , . having received the unanimous assent of the Committee, after aminute and lengthened investigation. The districts traversed by the proposed line would be bene fited by a better and cheaper conveyance for grain, cattle, and other articles of export, as well as for coal, timber, and iron, and the numerous articles of import. The internal communication for lime, sand, salt, seaweed, and other articles, would also be materially benefited.. The fishing interest would also partake of the advantages of the line. By means of the branch to Fermoy, communication would be opened 'with the northern parts of the county of Cork, and the great military depot of the south of Ireland, which contained accommodation for 14 field-officers, 169 officers, and 2,916 non-commissioned officers and privates, with stabling for upwards of 150 horses. The length of the main line was 78 miles 8 chains. The Fermoy branch was 18 miles, and the branch to Tramore 1 mile 16% chains. The Bill had passed the House of Lords, and the principal landowners upon the line had petitioned in favour of the scheme. - Having stated these facts, he would proceed to call evidence as briefly as possible. Several witnesses were then called who gave general evi dence in favour of the line. Mr. tßeamish, C.E., engineer to the line, stated that the steepest gradient was 1 in 70, that there were several curves of 20 chains radius, a tunnel of the length of 1,470 yards proposed to be made through a favourable strata, and the total estimate for the construction of the line was 1,500,000/., which was ample. The CHAIRMAN then declared that the preamble of the Bill was proved. The several clauses were then agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to be reported. ' - MR. RICHARD DUNN AND MISS I3ITIZDETE COUTTS AGAIN. From the ((Miming extraordinary and unique proceedings it will be seen that Mr. Richard Dunn, nothing loth of the in dictment which has been found against him by the Grand Jury at the Central Criminal Court in June last for perjury, and upon the warrant subsequently issued for his apprehension, and of his committal to Newgate, the particulars of which ap peared in our journal of the 6th inst., is determined to obtain the 100,0001. which he alleges he has the authority of Miss Burdett Coutts to draw out of the banking-house of Coutts and Co. ; as in the course of Wednesday morning the Learned Gentleman went to the Court of Bankruptcy for the purpose of swearing an affidavit before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd, but that learned functionary not sitting,. he went and swore the following affidavit before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn, which was signed as a matter of course, not the slightest remark pass ing, beyond the o ffi cer of the Court saying, this is your name and handwriting, and the contents of this your affidavit is true? to which Mr. Dunn replied in the affirmative. The following is a copy of the affida /it IN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT. " Richard Dunn, Esquire, barrister at law, of No. 6, New-street, in the city of Westminster, maketh oath, and saith, that Angelina Burdett Coutts, of No. 1, Stratton street, and 59, Strand, both in the city of Westminster, is justly and duly indebted to this deponent in the sum of 100,0001., by virtue of a certain authority in writing given to this deponent by the said Angelina Burdett Coutts, to draw a bill on the bank of Coutts and Co. for such a sum of money . as this deponent should think a fair compensation for the injuries and imprisonments done and inflicted on this de ponent by the said Angelina Burdett Coutts, and for the re covery of damages for which this deponent had at that time commenced legal proceedings, and which said bill so drawn by this deponent the said Angelina Burdett Coutts promised in writing should be duly paid, which said bill, although drawn for the sum of 100,0001., as compensation for the said inju ries, and duly presented by this deponent at the said bank aforesaid, dated March 4, 1846, was not paid, and which said bill still remains justly due and owing to this deponent ; and this deponent further saith, that the said Angelina Burdett Coutts is a partner in the said bank aforesaid, and a trader within the meaning of the laws relating to bankrupts, as this deponent verily believes, , g RICHARD DUNN. " Sworn' in the Bankruptcy Court, Basinghall-street, this 12th day of • August, 1846, before me (Signed) " EDWARD GOULBURN." As soon as the signature of the Commissioner was attached to the affidavit, it was handed back to Mr. Dunn, who pro ceeded to the office of Mr. Humphreys, the solicitor to Miss Burdett Coutts, and informed that gentleman through the medium of his son, that he (Mr. Dunn) had no intention by his present proeeedings to sue out a fiat of bankruptcy against Miss Burdett Coutts, his object being to oblige her to give bail, that she would proceed to trial in an action for debt, and that if Mr. Humphreys would give him a written undertaking that he would accept the affidavit on behalf of Miss Coutts, he would be perfectly satisfied. If his proposal was rejected, then be should have to adopt measures to enable the affidavit of debt to be served personally on the lady, Mr. Humphreys, however, declined interfering, causing Mr. Dunn to be in informed that he must adopt what course be thought proper, on which the Learned Gentleman left the office for the purpose of causiog his notice of debt to be served. The following is a copy of the order for payment which has led to the adoption of the recent proceedings London, March 4,1846. " Gentlemen—Pay myself or order the sum of One Hundred Thousand Pounds. " RICHARD DUNN. " By the authority of Miss Burdett Coutts. " Messrs. Coutts and Co. , 59, Strand ." Mr. Dunn has also sent a lon g statem ent of c om p laints to Sir George Grey, the Secretary of State for the Home De pertinent, in which he requested the interference of the ' Government to protect th e libert y of the subject , contend ing that as he had removed the indictment by a wr it of certio rari into the Court of Queens Bench, th e L or d Chi e f B aron had improperly committed him to Newgate, because he had not been able to obtain two housekeepers for bail, although one person who was rejected had 1,6001. standing in his name with the Accountant-General, that he could qualify for a voter t he office of the clerk o f th e i n di ctments t he cn for the city of Westminster, an that if the Lord Chief Baron r d u ai r nt y a lbad C o urt, to b e a ll owe d to see the indict mentbeen assigned, b u t w hi c h h a d b een had the power to com mit, it was to the Queen ' s prison, and not to Newgate , at which la tter p lac e he was treated as a felon : that at ehadwhich ht ca a h perjury applie d p C l r ie r i refused. It will thus be seen from the above statement th at st ill further legal proceedings will be adopted before th e matters connected with this extraordinsry case are finally terminated. SALE.

On CHASTITY and Its INFRINGEMENTS (An Essay for 1846.) " Of human ills and frailties I discourse, Those taught by nature, and by art acquied. Of griefs conceal'd, and disappointments keen, Which young and gentle, the matured and sage, The lonely and the mated—all sustain. In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n, How health, how hope, how happiness to gain." WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID With Diet Tables thrall Complaints. Contents:—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil eelings, a good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob servance of the instructions herein containeC the feeble, the ner vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire the greatest amount 01 physical happiness, and reach in health the full period of life allotted to man. " How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, far they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to undcrstan I ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to he in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the lit e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation -if our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations.

SWAM LONDON AUGUST 15 , 1846, NEWMARKET and CHESTER-FORD RAILWAY. The first half-yearly meeting of this Company took place yesterday, at the Offices of the Company, 5, Church-passage, Guildhall; Lord John Manners in the chair. The SECRETARY read the usual advertisement convening le meeting; and the following report was then submitted to Le shareholderv— " This meeting has been convened in accordance with the requirements of the Railway Clauses Consolidation Act, and your directors have the pleasure to submit their first report, subsequent to the passing of the Act which incorporates this Company ; and congratulate the shareholders upon the Act having been successfully obtained. Your directors are happy to be enabled to state, that owing to the excellent manage ment of the law affairs of the Company, no opposition has been made to the progress of the Bill in passing through its several stages ; and, consequently, the legal expenses incurred have been of limited amount, as compared with those borne by similar projects, which have been carried before Parliament under less favourable auspices. The land owners and occupiers along neatly the whole extent of the line have been successfully treated with, upon terms which may be considered satisfactory; and your directors are con vinced that the early construction of the line will be at tended, not only with great advantages to the public, but from the central situation of the line, in respect of some of the most important railway communications in the kingdom, will prove highly remunerative to the shareholders. Your directors confidently recommend the immediate prosecution of such surveys and plans as may insure to this. Company the success of an application to Parliament next session for carrying out extensions of the line from Newmarket to Thetford, and from Newmarket to Bury St. Edmund's, and resolutions to this effect will be submitted for your approval. a having been with much reason suggested, that it may be expedient for this Company to extend the proposed line from Bury to Ely also, your directors recommend, therefore, that they should be empowered (if upon further consideration it should appear to them of sufficient public importance, and to the interest of the shareholders) to make this additional extension. Your directors are empowered to announce, that they have as surances from most of the landowners on the line of the proposed extensions of their readiness to ce-operate, by their influence and support, in the success of an undertaking that will, when completed, form the best and most convenient route from Norwich to London, as well as from the east coast to the midland and northern counties. Your directors feel called upon to state that they had entered into a treaty to lease the present line, with the extensions of Thetford, at the rate of 6 per cent. on the outlay, and half the profits of the Norfolk Company; but that treaty was broken off in consequence of an intimation from the solicitors engaged, that the Norfolk Company had no power to do so without the leave of the Eastern Coun ties. The capital which the Act of incorporation em powers the Company to raise is more than ample for the purposes of completing the present line, and contracts, under the guidance and advice of Mr. R. Stephen son, have been made for the entire completion of the works; the line has been staked out, and the works are in course of progress. The short period that has elapsed since obtaining the Act has prevented the directors from ascertaining the precise amount of expense incurred, but, after making liberal allowance for accounts not yet received, they are of opinion that the total expenses of the Company, to the date of in corporation, will not exceed 9,066.., beingunder 13s. per share. It is intended to pay interest at 4 per cent. per annum on the deposits paid, and upon all future calls, commencing Ist of January last, upon registered shares, and the first payment will be made on or after the Ist of September, 1846. In ac • cordance: with the Act, it will be the duty of the proprietors at this meeting to appoint two auditor& The directors beg to recommend to the notice of the shareholders, for appoint ment, John Sands, Esq., of Austin-friars; and Henry Rance, Esq., of Cambridge, solicitor." The report was adopted unanimously. The present line brings Norwich nineteen miles nearer London than it is at present. A vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. 'POOR MAN'S GUARDIAN SOCIETY. A public meeting of those friendly to the objects of this society was held yesterday, in the Hall of Commerce, City, . . at one o'clock. Mr. B. B. CARRELL, M.P., having taken the chair, said would not be necessary to detain the meeting with stating at any length the objects of the society, as these would appear in the motions and in the speeches of the gentlemen who moved them. He thought it unusual and extraordinary that, in a nation whose merchants were princes in wealth, a society like the present, should be necessary to draw the public atten tion to the unprotected state of the poor ' • yet soit was. Wealth, he said, had its powers. but it also had its duties • and it was to fulfil these that this meeting bad been called. He would not detain the meeting longer, but call on Mr. COCHRANE, who moved the first resolution. He said it would be a work of supererogation in him to talk of the condi tion of the poor generally ; he would confine himself to the poor within the city of London. It was said in the last report of the asylums supported by voluntary subscriptions that from 18,000 to 20,000 persons had been relieved during the last winter, and that about EO,OOO rose daily from their bed not knowing where to get a breakfast. The Lord Mayor, about the beginninc , of the year, on hearing a case of a young woman who had ' broken windoirs, stated that about one hundred and twenty-five cases of young women had been brought up before him fpr breaking, windows, that they might obtain that protection in gaols Which was denied them anywhere el: e. He stated further, that in the poor unions of the city of London they kept bull-dogs to growl and snarl when the poor came to apply for relief. These were statements which were not indebted to private fiction. Mr. Cochrane then referred to the case of Ann Lynch, the details of which have already appeared in Me Sun, as well as the details of the assault committed on two women by the under officers of Marlborough workhouse. He added that the ex posure in this bet instance was due to the humane exertions of one of the police—Sergeant Morton—who at first paid the expenses out of his own pocket. He thought these de tails were enough to rouse every citizen of London to give that protection to the poor which the law at present denied them. He said the meeting perhaps was not aware that Dr. Southwood Smith, in his late report of the Fever Hospital, had stated that one-fifth of the whole number of the patients were traceable to Marl borough workhouse, at Peckham—one-fifth of the whole number being 125. He concluded by moving— " That the number of distressed poor who apply to the City unions is very great; that their necessities entitle them to our warmest sympathies; that the treatment which they too frequently experience is proved to be harsh, cruel, and unjust, and that their sufferings Imperatively demand the warmest exertions of every honest citizen in their behalf." Rev. JAMES HARRIS seconded the motion. He never felt more gratified than on that occasion in lending his aid to the amelioration of his poor fellow-creatures, for he thought it was the dawning of a day when the attention of Christian England would be turned to facts which had escaped it for the best part of his life. He did not think that the aristo cracy were aware of the state of the poor, he did not believe that they could form an idea of it, and therefore he was glad that such an institution bad risen to point their attention to it. He said he had been called again and again, being the incumbent of Mile End New Town, to see the poor, many and many a time, dying of starvation. They submitted to starvation and death even, out of the strength of their better feelings, rather than apply to these workhouses, which he did not think were a blessing to this land. He augured suc cess to the society from the strength of sympathy which had been stirred, and from the presence of their present Chair man within the legislature of the country. The speaker paid a compliment to the philanthropy of Mr. Cabbell, Mr. Walter, and Mr. Ferrand, and concluded by seconding the resolution. Mr. SIMMONS, before the resolution was put to the meet ing, wished to be allowed to say a few words. He said he was one of those cruel individuals, the City union guardians. --(Hear, hear.) He had come there that day like any other citizen, merely to hear what might be proposed to the con sideration of the meeting. He had not come with the inten tion of making a speech, but after hearing the speech of the eloquent gentleman who moved the resolution he felt called on to rectify some of the statements which had been made. Perhaps it was not known that the guardians of the city of London Union were elected by the free suffrages of their fellow-citizens in the parish to which they belong, or that they were honorary servants, and unpaid. Instead of there being 50 of them, there were nearer a hundred. Now these very guardians, these maligned ind ividualswish ed to erect an asylum for the casual poor; and it was only on Tuesday last that a special committee had been appointed to carry out that object. But he was unwilling that the citizens should retire from that place without hearing the otherbide ; they had already heard one side depicted by his friend, Mr. Cochrane, in the most glowing colours. It was surely an injustice to visit on the guardians whatever casual oppression might be exercised by their officers on some of the casual poor. There were men among these guardians as ready to aid in the present move ment for the protection of the poor as the gentlemanwho had so eloquently addressed the meeting. They were men who were elected by their fellow-citizens to the discharge of their duty as guardians, and, therefore, they were not likely to be the men whom his friend would make them- believe they were. They found great difficulty in managing the casual poor, a vast number of whom came into that city; and perhaps injustice might in some cases be done, but it was hard, he thought, to lay this at the door of the guardians, and to represent them as a hard and cruel set of people, as though they were opposed to the poor, or the Poor Man's Guardian Society. He had had the pleasure to stand up himself and others besides him in that board of guardians, and advocate the cause of the Poor Man's Guar dian Society. But it had been the policy , to attribute any cruelty which might be committed in Marlborough House to the City union guardians, which was surely more than ought to have been expected. He felt it so, especially, when he stood there and said he wished as much as any of them to remedy these evils. It was his wish and the wish of others to do so ; but individuals to whom allusion had been made had always stood in the way. Marylebone was a large parish, and many Noble Lords lived there. When the pro posal to build an asylum for the casual poor was made, the parish of Blarylebane—the aristocratic parish of Maryle bone—had always been against it, and said they would not have it. He said he was most sincere in deploring any irre gularities that had occurred in Marlborough workhouse, and he wished most heartily to see the poor comfortable and their wants supplied. The speaker concluded his statement by thanking the chairman and the meeting for listening to him with the attention which they had been pleased to bestow on what he had to say. The resolution was put and carried unanimously. Mr. LUKE HANSARD moved, and Mr. llvnE CLARKE seconded, the following resolution :—" That the efforts of the Poor Man's Guardian Society in behalf of the poor gene rally, and especially in exposing the cruelties practised to wards the poor in the union, Marlborough-house, Peckham, entitle it to the warmest support of the citizens of London." This was put and carried unanimously. Mr. THORNBORROW moved, and Mr. PERCIVAL seconded, That for the convenience of the merchants the following :—" and citizens of London a subscription be opened in the city on behalf the Poor Man's Guardian Society, and that Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith, Messrs. Jones, Loyd, and Co., Messrs. Dennison, and Mr. Thornborrow, be requested to re ceive contributions." The resolution was put from the chair and carried. Resolutions appointing a committee of co operation in the City, and according thanks to Mr. Moxhay for the gratuitous use of the Hall, were moved and carried. A vote of thanks to the Chairman concluded the business, and the meeting separated. PRICE SD. PRESENTATION of NEW COLOURS BY PRINCE ALBERT TO THE 13TH LIGHT INFANTRY. PORTSMOUTH THURSDAY. —His Royal Highness the Prince Consort ' having sigqified his consent to honour his " own " regiment by preseting it with new colours, this day was appointed for the celebration of the ceremony, and Southsea-common was the site chosen for the brilliant dis play, the " pomp and circumstance " attendant upon which attracted an immense multitude of ail ranks, especially the higher, anxious to witness so interesting and national a spectacle. The 13th was first embodied on the 20th of June, 1665, under the command of Thomas Earl of Huntingdon. They left England for Flanders in 1742, and returned in 1715. In 1747 they again embarked for Flanders, and served in the wars of the Low Countries under Marlborough, returning in 1762. They were also engaged in the siege of Limerick. In 1768 they were sent to Ireland; thence to Minorca, in 1769, returning to England in 1776, in which year they were pre sent at Culloden, under the command of his Royal Highness William Duke of Cumberland, K.G., where, as a mark of dis tinction for their gallant conduct, the sashes of the officers and sergeants were ordered to be tied on the right side. In 1781 they were sent to the Leeward Islands, returning in 1782. In 1790 they embarked for the West Indies, and were engaged in the defence of the island of St. Domingo, and returned to England in 1796. In 1798 they served in Ireland during the rebellion. In 1800 they em barked for Egypt, where they served under Abercrombie against the French, and obtained the honour of bearing the sphinx on their colours and appointments. In 1802 they proceeded from Alexandria to Malta, thence to Gibraltar (1S03), and returned home in 1806. In 1808 they embarked for Bermuda, and afterwards joined the expedition against Martinique in the same year, for which they were permitted by the Prince Regent to bear on their colours and appoint ments the word "Martinique," in consideration of their dis tinguished gallantry and services at the attack and reduction of that place. In 1813 they left Martinique for Halifax, and whilst there a detachment was sent to hold a post called La Cole Mill, where it most nobly performed its duty in re pulsing the enemy, 6,000 strong, on which occasion the de tachment had thirteen men killed, and one captain, one subaltern, two sergeants, and forty-six men wounded, and gained the thanks of General Provost, K.G., commanding the forces, for their gallantry. In July, 181* , they returned to England, and in the folloiving.month were sent to Jersey. In June, 1819, the regiment returned home _and in the See, temberellpar: - ! embarked : for Scotland , and thence, in November.,• .:: , ,4 ; .•.•,:„;.„. - _ :-* ~- ,-' for . Ireland . , . 144 they were orde .i .", 2 mie ,to urnettfoa, tbeace ..r e to klelinburgh, to do duty during the visit. of oorgiTY.' l to that city. After the departure of his Majesty they embarked at Leith, for Chatham, prior to sailing for the East Indies. The regiment was denominated " Light Infantry," on Christmas-day, 1822, by order of George IV. In May, 1823, they arrived at Calcutta, and in April follow ing embarked for Rangoon, in the Burmese empire, under the immediate command of Sir Robert Sale, the senior Lieu- ' tenant-Colonel being placed on the staff, and continued to be under the leadership of that distinguished officer in nearly all the principal engagements which took place in that country, and repeatedly received the thanks of the Governor- General of India in council and the general officer commanding, and were permitted to bear on their colours and appointments the word "Ave," as a reward for their distinguished services in that empire. They re turned to Calcutta in April, 1836. In November, 1838, the regiment moved from Kurnaul to Ferozepore, and formed part of the army of the Indus, under the late Lieu tenant-General Lord Keane, G.C.8., and on the breaking up of that army were ordered to remain in Affghanistan, which they did until 1842, when they returned to the Com pany's provinces, where they were received with tile most marked honours by the Governor-General of India, in consequence of their distinguished services ; and as a further reward for their continual gallant conduct her Ma jest was pleased to order the facings of the regiment to be changed from yellow to blue, and to be styled "Prince Albert's Regiment of Light Infantry," and, further, to bear on their colours and appointments the words " Aifghanistan," " Ghuznee," a mural crown superscribed " Jellalabad and Cebu!, 1842." They returned to England in 1845. The late hero Sir Robert Sale, wa s f u ll C o l one l of t h e 13t h w h en he was killed. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, wearing a field officer's uniform, came over from Osborne in the royal yacht, ac companied by Colonel Wylde, and a small retinue all in uniform, and landed at the King's stairs, in the Dockyard, at about a quarter to four o'clock. The Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart- the Lieutenant-Governor, Major-General the Hon. Sir Hercules Pakenham, K.C.B, and a brilliant staff of officers of both services, received his Royal Highness on landing, who immediately entered General Pakenham's carriage, and was driven to the field, escorted by General Pakenham and staff on horseback, receiving the shouts of welcome from the immense concourse of spectators who lined the road as he passed. Soon after three o'clock the regiment took up its position on Southseancommon, in line, at open order, with the old 1 colours in the centre. On the arrival of the Prince, lie was received with the customary honours. The regiment then formed three sides of a hollow square, the company told off as a guard for the new colours, remaining in the centre of the open face. The Prince having alighted from the carriage, mounted his charger (which, together with five other beautiful animals, came down from the royal mews to the George Hotel last night), rode along the line, inside and out, in specting the troops as they covered the ground, after which the, Prince dismounted and entered the hollow square, accompanied by General Pakenham, Sir Charles Ogle, and stair, and stood uncovered while the Rev. G. _R. Gleig, Chaplain-General to the Forces, consecrated the colours, which, after this ceremony, were handed to the Prince hp , Lieutenant-Colonel C. T. Van Straubenzee and Major Mere dith. The Prince then handed them to the two senior En signs (J. D. Longden and Melville Browne), who received them kneeling, and continued in that position -whilst his Royal Highness addressed them in a brief but most spirited and soldierly manner, enjoining them to preserve their colours, never to allow them to be captured, but to emulate the conduct exhibited by the departed hero, Sir Robert Sale, whose absence was the only alloy to the gratification he felt in performing the august ceremony of the day. His Royal Highness, in the course of his address, passed some high and well-deserved encomiums on Colonel Squire and the 13th regiment, to which that gallant veteran replied :—" I beg most respectfully to return my most sincere though humble thanks for the distinguished honour your Royal Highness has just conferred upon this corps in the presentation of new colours, and for the highly flattering manner in which your Royal Highness has been pleased to mention my name, in connexion with its services in India, and also for the gratifying encomiums which you have passed on our late honoured and respected commanders, Sir Robert Sale andColonelDennie. Your Royal Highness may be assured that your gracious condescension will ever be esteemed by all ranks in the regiment as the greatest stimulant to the loyal and faithful discharge of their duty under whatever circumstances of trial they may hereafter be placed, iu supporting the honour and interest of our beloved Queen and country. God save the Queen!" His Royal Highness appeared much gratified with the senti ments of the gallant Colonel, mid having bowed, retired with General Pakenham and Sir Charles Ogle, and remounted his charger. The sides of the square, which were wheeled up then wheeled back, and the regiment formed a line. The new colours were now "trooped," followed by the guard in charge, the band playing "The Grenadiers,' slow march. On arriving at the left of the line, the colours were carried, and the officers marched up in front of the line, one rank of the guard marching between the ranks of the line, and the other rank in rear of the rear rank. On arriving at the place where the old colours were stationed, the new colours took up their place, whilst the old ones were paraded up the remaining portion of the line, the "trooping" still proceeding, and were then delivered over to the escort on the right of the line ; their military existence, as atandards of the regiment, then ceasing. The ceremony having terminated, the Prince re-entered the carriage of General Pakenham, and, accompanied by Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., and escorted by General Pakenham and staff, returned to the dockyard, whence he embarked for Osborne-house, under salutes from the ships in harbour, the Platform Battery, and the Contest, Columbine, and Sardinian corvette at Spithead. A magnificent entertainment will be given in honour of the event this evening, by the officers of the 13th, at the King's-rooms, Southsea-beach. WINDOW GLASS.—Several arrivals of window glass are now taking place from Belgium, doubtless with the view of partly meeting the required supplies in consequence of the late storm. ANOTHER STOPPAGE.—FIeet-street is stopped again, making somewhere about the twentieth time this year. Considering the street is oftener stopped than used, we think the thoroughfare had better be blocked up altogether, and then persons in a hurry would know at once they had better run round by Holborn, when they wanted to go from the Strand to Ludgate-hill. We advise the Lord Mayor, there fore, to put up the following notice :—" Considering Fleet street is a constant source of annoyance, and has been found to be terribly in the way of persons having to transact business in the City, it will be closed to all public traffic on and after August the 10th, and will be laid out for the future exclusively as a cab-walk and practising-ground for advertising- vans. Sealed tenders from advertisers and cab proprietors, stating highest terms for the lease of the entire street for one year. to be sent into Guildhall. By order of the LORD MOTOR."—Punch. BEARD'S PHOTOGRAPHY.—In former notices of Mr Beard's success, in carrying out and improving upon Daguerre's magnificent discovery, that painting can be exe cuted with a " pencil of light," we have expressed our anti cipation, that, in the progress of "Photography,' the scien title patentee would at length arrive at thepowoderifiocfathioxamogf upon his plates not only form, or that simple in colour, which is called light and shade, but even colour itself, in all its combinations. Of course, in speaking of such anti cipations, we had no idea of any " touching up," or painting over the photographic picture after the sun had done his work. We expected that the time would come, and, before long, when Mr. Beard would be able to catch the rays, and permanently stamp them on his panels, not merely in theirwhite union or prismatic dispersion, but in every variety of combina tion which the eye of Rembrandt has observed, and the hand of Reubens vainly endeavoured to imitate. The last specimens of photography which we have seen from Mr. Beard's studio at the Royal Polytechnic Institution, convinces us that we have not hoped too much. It happens, strangely enough, that the first approach to the production of colours by the pho tographic process, is found in the EYES 1 whereas in those, the most expressive and soul-speaking of the features, it had always been observed that pictures produced in this way were especially defective—that, in fact, the eyes were always more or less cold, ghastly, and inexpres sive; and were, of necessity, always of one colour, whatever might be the complexion of the countenance which it was intended to pourtray. We now find the various tints of the iris preserved upon Mr. Beard's photographic plate, with as much delicacy as those minute and fine touches of form, which no pencil of artist could imitate, and which hitherto have formed the unmatch able excellence of photographic portraits. The portraits of some children with very light, delicate blue eyes, just issued from Mr. Beard's laboratory, are extraordinary as well as beautiful specimens of the perfection to which that gentle man has brought life in portraiture. THE WARWICKSHIRE MURDER.-011 the 6th inst. we gave the particulars of the death of Hannah Tredwell, of Hornton, who was shot by William Cave, of the same place. The coroner's jury have returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against Cave, and he has been committed to Oxford gavi fbr trial. HER MAJESTY'S THE SEASON' " On Friday next this immense the scene of unceasing exertion ant the many hundreds of persons, Ent, mentally or mechanically engaged, wi ters of the globe—more than one of h, destined singly to draw crowded houses other leged capitals than ours. Lablache goes until the Bth of October to Naples. Grisi, Mario, and Corelli, aft.: their tour in the provinces, to Paris. Castellan goes to Italy. She is:offered enga4(ments Russia, which she has refused, and another at Milan. SI e previously goes to enact operas at Dublin and elsewhere, with Fornasari, Mantas, Sic. Sanchioli is engaged at Palermo. Fornasari intends, after his provincial tour, to visit Verona. Botelli is engaged at Lisbon. Corbari and Brambilla follow Castellan,-and then go to Milan. Taglioni returns to her beautiful residence at Como after a tour in the provinces. Gratin is engaged-at Rome till next season, and has, be sides, offers innumerable. Cerito and St. Leon go to Pesth and Berlin, but previously they will dance at the principal theatres in our great !com mercial towns. L. Taglioni goes back to Naples, where she is engaged, hut on her way will dance three times at the Academie de Musique in Paris. Perrot, the poet of the ballets, goes to Milan, to produce some of his successful works. Mdlles. Honore, Demelisse, and Cassan, to Brighton, and thence to Paris to study. Mdlles. Juliano and L'Amoureux remain in England, to pursue their studies under M. Gosselin, the professor of choregraphy in the school maintained throughout the year by her Majesty's Theatre. .I%liss James is engaged at Madrid. The Rightly lists published, which are always incomplete, and which can in no other respect deceive the public, will prove by comparison that up to the present moment the at tendance at the Opera this year has been greater than in any previous season. This is the more remarkable, as the diffi culties to be surmounted have been this year great beyond precedent. The crisis of political affairs, so intense and pro longed, absorbed society, and the over-speculation of all classes, in railroads impoverished the affluent, whilst her gracious Majesty's necessary retirement for two months naturally threw a gloom over all pursuits of pleasure, and kept numbers of the most exalted personages in the country. Illness, on the one hand, and on the other breach of faith, produced by thirst of lucre, deprived the establishment. of the presence of certain talents expected, and it became suddenly necessary to substitute new attractions, not only as great, bat greater. To another adverse circumstance with, which the management has had to combat, we attribute little importance—we allude to personal enmity and to that malice which follows, like sharks do men ••of.war, all great establishments the more prosperous they are, seek ing what they can devour. As the greatest light prodaces the most numerous, the most eccentric, and the darkest shadows, so does an institution like the Opera, when it shines with unwowed eclat, awaken the most intense) and fantastic malignity. The public, however, soon perceive the cause; for fair criticism deals not in abuse amid venom, and mendacious contrast and supposition is a well known form of compliment. The headlong inventions incalculable in variety and number, such as the soi-disarif rival companies, the stupid assertion so oft repeated, that an august personage had condescended to take part in a question of theatrical discipline; that one great artist engaged was dead and buried ; that another still greater, if possible, was about to marry and retire; that other virtuosi had resolved not to come, &c. icc.—all these barefaced inventions for a moment might make one or two of the subscribers hesitate at the beginning of the season ; but, ultimately, the more virulent the attacks, the greater was the success. No artists, and no performances generally achieved, such sur passing triumphs as those who were the objects of the most unsparing abuse. We have heard a story of the parents of a celebrated performer hiring persona to hiss, when they thought the applause was becoming lukewarm from ex haustion, which immediately awakened unbounded enthu siasm. We would submit to the attention of managers, after the example we have had before us, whether under similar c►rcumstances they should not purchase an enemy to keep attention alive. The Opera, as an assemblage of the most exalted art, and the rendezvous of the highest fashion, has always been a source of great interest to our readers. We have conse quently endeavoured this year to extend the information re garding its progress. In every department of theatrical art our columns bear witness to our wish to second honest effort. As regards her Majesty's Theatre, we have felt that, whether we looked to the past or to the present, to the im mense difficulties vanquished, or to the splendour achieved, our warmest encouragement was due to a management which has rolled back the adverse tide which for halt a cen tury overwhelmed this magnificent institution, and made it, in a commercial as well as in an artistic point of view, a disgrace to the country. Let us now pass in review the events of the season. The performances during the season 1846, up to Thursday, August 13, have been : Subscription nights 45 Benefits • 9 Extra nights — 10 Total The following are the opera performed, and the number of OPE] Anna Bolena Belisario Barbiere Ernani Don Giovanni Don Gregorio Gazza Ladra Lucia di Lammermoor (partly or wlnsll ) 6 Luerezia Borgia Lombardi ll Linda di Chamouni 4 I ............ ••• ••• ,••• 64 2, ballets, and divertissements times each has been enacted : Times.

But when we remember that latterly three, four, and often five and s i x per f ormances of different kinds have formeA the night's bill of fare, the diversity appears marvellous. And it must not be forgotten, that all these works must be prepared and produced within five months—for the presence of the artists in London it has been hitherto impossible to obtain earlier than a few days previously to the opening. The season began this year with unprecedented splendour—with a new opera and a new ballet, in a theatre now presenting such an aspect that many distinguished foreigners have visited it even when no per formances were proceeding, merely to behold the copies of the greatest masters of modern times and of antiquity faith fully transferred with the durable and vivid truthfulness of the encaustic—an art which sovereigns and nations are now seeking to revive in all its pristine splendour, and of whose progress in England her Majesty's Theatre has thus singu larly become the first example, and will probably remain the noblest specimen in the country. The Opera on Thursday presented a most exciting scene. Scarcely were the doors opened, ere every seat was tenanted —the rush was tremendous, and hundreds of disappointed eathusiasts might be observed with gloomy faces, receiving back the money they had paid. The fame of Don Giovanni would seem to be perennial—the melodies came upon the ears and heart as fresh, as lovely, and as full of meaning, as when the composer first penned them—the wondrous harmonies instinct with poetry, passion, and knowledge, yield the same fervour, and will continue thus so long as they receive equally worthy interpreters ; for, like Shak spere, Mozart sought his inspirations in nature. On Thursday was one of the meet crowded nights of the season ; the concourse was so great that money was refused at the doors. Amongst the company present we noticed— his Royal Highness Prince George, the Duke of Wellington, the Duke and Duchess of Bedford and Lady Frances Russell, the Duchess of Leinster and Lady Jane Fitzgerald (who oc cupied her Majesty the Queen Adelaide's box), the Marchio ness of Sligo and the Ladies Browne, the Marquis of 'Lich field, the Marquis of Donegal, the Baroness Brunnow and Mdlle. Olga de Lechner, his Excellency the General Count Bjornstjerna (Sardinian Minister), the Count and Countess de Jarnac, his Excellency the Turkish Minister, his Excel lency Sami Pacha, Le Conseiller d'Etat de Kasmer, the Earl Bruce, the Earl Bective, M. de Berg, Lord Monteagle, Lade' Dungannon, Lady Lawley, Lady Charles Som erset, M. C.Ko Ladies Ponsonby, Sir Edward and LadySVet the driaffsky, the Count de Courey, the Hon. . akoy,Hon.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.—The treasurer has announced his benefit for this evening, and has certainly put forth a most attractive bill of fare. A host of talent rallies round him. When such artistes as Madame Vestris, Madame Albertazzi, Mrs. Stirling, Mr. Charles Mathews, Mr. Wal lack, Mr. Leffler, and the entire strength of the company lend their aid, it is an entertainment that every playgoer must be delighted with. We recommend all lovers of the drama to avail themselves of a chance which seldom occurs. So much talent on one evening cannot often be got together. The Committee for assisting those nurserymen and florists who have suffered so fearfully from the late storm have determined to hold a flower show and f ete, at the Surrey Z oo l og i ca l Gardens, on the 24th and 25th i nst. We rejoice at their decision and wish them every success. We make no doubt that those nurserymen and florists who have been exempt from this calamity will be but too happy to respond to the call, and do their utmost to render the show attractive. Mrs. Lawrence, of Ealing Park, has most kindly promised to assist the undertaking, and we are sure that the amateurs generally will willingly step forward to render aid to a class of men suffering under a visitation they could neither avoid or control. THE SANATORY CONDITION OF THE METROPOLIS.--- On Thursday a meeting of clergymen, gentlemen, and citizens generally, was held at the London Tavern, to adopt mea sures in connexion with the National Philanthropic Institu tion, for more effectually watching over and promoting the sanatory condition of the metropolis. The Rev. J. Williams ILA., Vicar of St. James, Shadwell, presided. Dr. Lynch expressed himself strongly on the necessity of taking mea sures to secure the co-operation of the merchants and bankers of London in the object they had in view. He rejoiced to say that Lord John Ru,sell had pledged himself to carry out a great sanatory scheme, and the Corporation had expressed willingness to assist in the work. On the motion of Mr. Leddel, seconded by Mr. Sparke, a resolution was adopted affirming the opinion of the meeting, that the public mind should be instructed on the causes which continued to injure the health of large towns, with a view to their removal by legislative enactment. Other resolutions were adopted, call ing upon the clergy and the medical profession to endeavour to prevail upon the local authorities of their respective dis tricts to have the streets, courts, and alleys daily swept, and also appealing to medical men to report weekly to the general committee on the state of their parishes. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings.
