BUCKINGHAMSHIRE AND OXFORD AND BLETCHLEY JUNCTION RAILWAY. Interest guaranteed by the London and Birmingham Company. At the present moment, when public confidence in railway pro jects has been much diminished, and when many of them have been entirely abandoned, the Committee of Management of the above mentioned undertaking think proper to announce to their subscribers that their expectations of success are entirely unabated. Mature consideration and observation of the circumstances of other railways have only confirmed the Committee in their con viction that the Buckinghamshire Railway is calculated to be profit able to the shareholders, beneficial to the districts through which it will pass, and conducive to the general interests of the country. The Committee, therefore, prosecute their undertaking with every confidence of final Success, and advantage to all the parties concerned. 11. VERNEY, Chairman of the Committee of Management. Office of the Company, 29, Great George-street, Westminster, April 20, 1846. LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY. The Committee of Shareholders call the attention of the origi nal Subscribers and actual Holders of Scrip in this Company to the advertisements issued on the 16th and 18th instant by the Direc tors of the London and York Company. The first expresses their confidence in obtaining their Bill. This the Committee conceive to be the greatest misfortune that can happen to the Shareholders, as calls must then be made, and the shares be come valueless. The second announces that the attention of the Directors is being " directed to the practicability of treating with any rivals upon terms advantageous to the London and York Shareholders." The Committee give the Directors full credit for the intention thus ex pressed, and have the satisfaction of feeling that the steps they are taking will facilitate the Directors in the attainment of this most iin portant object. The holders of many thousand shares have already signified their concurrence in the views which led to the formation of this Com mittee, and as they almost universally express an opinion in favour of an amalgamation with the Eastern Counties Railway, the Coin rnittee are directing their attention to this point, and only require the early adhesion of those Shareholders who have not yet replied to the circulars to insure success. The Committee, in reply to many letters received offering pecu niary support, beg to state that being personally holders of nearly 8.000 shares, they decline receiving any subscriptions, and intend bearing all the expenses, unless the Shareholders in the Loudon and York line vote their payment from the general funds. By order of the Committee, HENRY PHILIPPS. Committee-Room`, No. 4, Sise-lane, Bucklersintry, April 24, 1846.

Gentlemen,— I am a scrip-holder of shares in the London and York Railway. and ant desir. ms, firstly, of having the line south: of Peterborough given up, so as to lessen the cost ; or, secondly, of having terms made with the Eastern Counties Company for an abandonment of the London and York Railway and Amalga mation with the Eastern Counties line.

These representatives of the fistic schools of London and Westminster met yesterday at Woking-common, on the South-Western line, to settle the difference of opinion exist ing between themselves and their respective admirers, as to which was the more skilled and accomplished in the art pugilistic, offensive and defensive. After the usual prelimi naries, the paraphernalia of the ring being drily arranged, the men exchanged an earnest grasp of the hand, threw themselves into attitude, and the trial began. The weights of the men were within a pound or two of each other ; namely, Barnash, 9st. 61b. ; Martin, 9st. 41b. For the first hour and a quarter, in which time only seventeen rounds were contested (the last consuming sixteen minutes), the scales alternately preponderated. Now Barnash, by sup,srior strength, and not-to-be-denied game, boring down or rush ing over his adversary, and at others fighting cunning, by direction of his seconds; at other times Martin succeeded in drawing, then jobbing or upper-cutting his man with telling effect. Yet so good was the condition of both, that little marking took place, and the amount of punishment seemed pretty equally divided. Soon after the 26th round, however, Martin succeeded in stepping on to his man once or twice, besides screwing him up for fibbing on the ropes, appeared to acquire renewed confidence ; or, what was bette r , secon d w i n d , and wa i ted f or the est minster hero, whom he punished by up hits, with both hands, but especially the right on the ear, for his rash rushes and wild sallies. Towards the 36th round it was clear that this pinking and upper-cutting was doing its work, for Barnash grew wilder and wilder in his onslaughts, receiving increas ing pepper. In the 37th round, Martin having Barnash on the ropes they were cut. In the 38th and 39th the West minster Champion, game to the last, merely came up to re ceive. Two hours and twenty ; three minutes had elapsed. An appeal was now made to the referee, who desired the men to proceed; and at this moment the ropes were cut in several places, and the stakes torn up. That gentleman refused his fiat, unless regularly appealed to by the umpires. One of them (as well as the time-keeper) was absent, and his deci sioni the -gr l o a u p n se d where the ring had been, and three more scrambling rounds was postponed until to-morrow (this day) , when he will o m f ee a t b b ou ot t h t,, um o pmireinsu,taenspdßsatarnteashhiswuas broughtltimatam After on took place, which went for nothing, as they were a pieq of gratuitous amusement.

This great sporting event, concerning which so much in terest has been excited kmi some time past both in England and France, came otTyesterday, in the most brilliant manner. With the single drawback, "that the sun disdained to shine," everything passed over in the most admirable style. The concourse of spectators was such as we never before wit nessed at any race in France, and the long line of carriages seemed of never-ending.,duration. The country round the Croix-de-Berny, where the race took place, is exceedingly picturesque; hill, wood, and dale, of the most varied cha racter, interspersed with fine villas, beautiful gardens, and groups of cottages, start into view in every direction. The villages of Sceaux, Fontenay-aux-Roses, &c., are in the neighbourhood, and on this occa s i on they poured out their inhabitants with extraordinary p ro f us i on . Every road was dark with the living masses moving to the centre of attrac tion. The arrangements at the scene of action were excel lently conceived ; stands of various degrees were erected fir the spectators, and ample place was assigned for carriages and horsemen. The ground where the race took place is a flat, through which the Bievre runs. It is mostly grass land, and is cut at the far end in two places by roads which the horses had to cross. The starting point was a small meadow, right in front of the little stream just mentioned. The winning post was placed precisely opposite the starting-point, so that when the horses cleared the river, they turned suddenly to the left, sailed along up the country, for about two miles, and then, making a circuit, came back on the ground they had before traversed, and raced home past the spot they had started from, and leaving the point where they cleared the stream cn their right. If any one, in fact, were to unrivet a pair of scissors, and taking one of the branches should bend the point to a right angle, the end thus turned being the starting-point, he would have before him a tolerable form of the course. When the horses turn suddenly to the right after crossing the stream, they have to cross several hedges, ditches, another piece of water, and two park walls—in all, nineteen obstacles. Without any being of extraordinary difficulty, there was plenty of work to try a man's nerve, wit.' force a horse to show what was in him. In consequence of the rain, the: ground was exceedingly heavy, and some of the horses were greatly distressed at the finish. The bell raug for weighing a little before two, but in consequence of the number of horses, it was near three before the preliminaries had concluded. About a quarter of an hour was occupied with the preparatory gallops in front of the stand, and the greatest anxiety was manifested to view Pioneer, Culverthorpe, and The Roarer. The riders also came in for their share of wonderment—Captain Peel, Mason, M'Donough, and Oliver being particularly inquir,d after. At this moment the crowd of sportsmen looking anxiously on not only comprised all the gentlemen of the Paris Jockey Club, but a g . eat number from England. Amongst the latter we perceived Lord Exmouth, Lord Can terbury, Lard Cantalupe, Sir Massey Stanley, Mr. Ricardo, &c. The Duke de Nemours was also present. The rain had by this time ceased, and every preparation being completed, the horses proceeded round by the bridge to take their place for the start, Pioneer having declared to carry 41b. extra. Handicap for 10,300 f., added to a sweepstakes of 500 E, half forfeit ; and 125 f. only if declared to the Secretary of the Paris Jockey Club, before 11 o'clock at night on March 20. The second horse to receive 1,:;.50f. from the entries, and the third to receive back his stake. Distance 6,400 metres ( about four Engl;sh miles). 42 subs. Mr. Tilbury's ch h Culverthorpe, list 41b.

Marquis de Las Marisma's b h Discord, Ilst Mr. E. Cremieux.'s ch h Cattonian, list 21b When the word was given to go, they all dashed together at the brook, Which The Roarer went over first, Pioneer second, and Culverthorpe third. All the rest cleared it well also, except Cattonian, whose jockey fell. They all went over the second leap, a made fence, with equal success, ex cept Cattonian, who refused, and whose chance was lost. Little Tcmmy then went in front, and made strong running, fbliowtd by Lancet. Discord refused the third leap, and appeared no more in the race. No change of consequence took place till they came to the road, where a sort of jumble took place, all sliding gently down. Culverthorpe here was obliged to hang back, Crcesus, who up to this point had gone a forward horse, but who now appeared distressed, be ing right in his way. At last the Roarer, Lancet, Culver thorpe, Crcesus, Little Tommy, and Scavenger, got clear, the other horses being a little behind. Scavenger refused at the last fence, near the turning flag, and lost ground, but being a speedy horse soon came up again to the others. After getting into the run home, Little Tommy, the Roarer, and Culverthorpe were the only horses that had a chance, and as they neared the winning-post, the Roarer fell behind, and the two others came along neck and neck. They cleared the last fence nearly at the same moment, Culver thorpe being, perhaps, a second in advance, and then set to for the finish. Little Tommy was, however, outpaced, and Culverthorpe won by about a length and a half. Loud cheering greeted Captain Peel as he walked the winner back to the weighing stand; and it must be acknowledged that he merited the applause, as he rode admirably throughout. The second horse too was capitally jockeyed, and when it is borne in mind that Mr. Vevers is a man of sixty-five years Rfigsmittnyt2neig;lmtirott Alfl7o7;luk t litlig i li d tl exceedingly quick race, the time being two or three seconds over eleven minutes. We have given the, first five or six horses as we saw them come in, the rest arriving at intervals afterwards. The value of the stakes ii a trifle over 20,000 f. After the excitement occasioned by this crack affair had a little su isided, the bell rang fur saddling for the second race, with gentlemen riders. It was a very different affair from the other, though not without interest also Purse of 1,200 f. added to 2501. entries, half forfeit. The winner to be claimed for 5,000 f., weight, 1501 b. ; horses valued by the owners at 1,500 f. to carry 1251 b. ; at 2,500 f., 1331 b. ; and 4,000 f. 1541 b. Distance about 4,000 metres (2% miles). Gentlemen riders. Mr. Rowles's br m The Witch, 1831 b (W. Power) 1 M. de Bouexic's b h Chandos, 1501 b (Owner) 2 Captain Best's b h Revealer, 1251 b (Owner) 0 This race is easily described. The distance was shorter than in the preceding event, but excepting that the horses did not go so far from home, the ground was the same. They again started in the meadow in front of the judge's stand, and Chandos in front, the Witch well up, and the old horse Repealer (18 years, we understand) behind. Chandos bungled at the third or fourth leap, and lamed himself. The Witch then went on, and Repealer not being able to compete with her in speed was obliged to give in. The Witch went quietly over the ground, and won as she pleased. The arrangements during the day reflect the greatest credit on Count de Vaublanc, the steward. Everything was in perfect order, and from beginning to end he discharged his arduous duties in a most able manner. The sporting men were loud in their praise of his conduct, and a subscription dinner is, we understand, shortly to be given to him as a mark of respect. The return home of the vast crowd to Paris reminded us of an Epsom or Ascot day, and we have not heard of any accident having occurred to mar the pleasure of the day's proceedings.

There is a rumour of an immediate dissolution ; or, to speak more correctly, there is the report of a rumour to that effect. What is the ground and origin of this report— whether the wish is father to it, or the fear is father to it— whether the Protectionists wish Sir Robert to think that he must resign, or Sir Robert wishes the Protectionists to think that he will resign—whether an immediate dissolution of Parliament is not a mere blunder for an immediate dissolu t ion of railways, or, after all, the report only expresses that indefinite dissatisfaction with the existing state of things which led Miss Squeers to exclaim, " I wish I was dead—l wish all the world was dead"—it is not necessary for us to decide. The report exists, and is put about with diligence. The question is propounded. Something is to be gained, it is thought, by looking upon the event as possible. As the question is forced upon us, we have scarcely an alternative but to reply. It is by no means an edifying theme. When there is nothing else to talk of, the public generally be gins to talk of a dissolution, just as some men, whenever they have nothing elso to do, immediately begin to think of apoplexy, suicide, and such horrors. In fact, every time within these twenty years that things have come to a standstill, there has been a report of a dissolution. Any body, without an opinion in his head, can venture an esti mate of the odds for or against that casualty. Perhaps it is beside the question to ask who is to gain by a dissolution? The Miss Squeers who suggests the idea has probably given up all thought of gain. It is enough that somebody would lose something; or, if not damaged, will be at least disgraced; or, if not disg r ac e d, yet st i gmat i sed. The vision of a dozen agricultural constituencies, is addition to those which have already changed their Members, turning out four-and-twenty " apostates," with an immense deal of pother, with much bluster and invective, avid giving us in their stead four-and twenty raw young men who have yet to apostatise, is enough to console these satisfied dreamers for the absence of any tangible advantage. Sir Robert Peel would "get it." Many speeches would be made and circulated at a penny a piece. Many prophecies would be uttered. Heaps of statistics and financial statements would be collected for the benefit of those who are ignorant of facts, and not versed in arith metic. Tamboff and New Orleans, the Vistula and the Ohio, would again become names of terror. We should have a Saturnalia of apochryphal facts and impossible estimates. In the midst of the clamour there would perhaps be a dozen victories ; though, perhaps, on the contrary, there would not be one. But granting the said dozen victories, whose would be the gain, whose the loss, in the day of reckoning? What would the Protectionists have gained by a dissolution? It is due to public peace and quiet not to canvass electioneering probabilities till the occasion actually arises. It is rather an American than an English usage to keep the elective contest always on foot. Therefore we will not attempt to go through the counties, and cities, and boroughs, in anticipation of a new Parliament. We expressed at the time a gentle demur as to the wisdom and taste of Mr. Cobden's masterly and hitherto unanswered review of the British constituencies. But we certainly do not see where the Protectionists can hope to find the means of tuning the scale in another Parliament. Why do they not favour us with the names of the constituen cies that are to settle the business? They talk of the 112. A balance of 56 changes in their favour, therefore, will be sufficient, not indeed to decide the question in favour of protection, but to bring the Legislature to a standstill. Where will you get your 56? Name, name, name! How many cities and boroughs have been lately converted to the sliding-scale? But your trust is in the counties—the English counties. They have already done almost their worst. They have left no margin for extraordinary efforts. All the county scats will be insufficient for the purpose. But even in the counties, and much more in the boroughs, the change has been all the other way. The very farmers have either come quite round, or given in, or got sick of the ques tion altogether. " Anything for peace and quiet," but the chance of peace so long as the existing law is unrepealed they know to be small indeed. Every week, too, has been helping to disabuse them of their alarms. They no longer believe that wheat will settle at 355., or fluctuate between 20s. and 100 s. They no longer think that there is or will soon be too much food in the world. They no longer think it the order of nature, and the decree of Heaven, that Irishmen should eat nothing but potatoes. They daily witness the phenomenon of landlords demanding an in crease of rent, and, what is more, obtaining it without any difficulty. Land, also, sells better than ever. The funds are by no means so high as they have been within this year or two. Shares have fallen, scrip has become worth less, but land retains its value. In the face of these facts it is scarcely possible to maintain with a grave face that the landlord is ruined. There are ruined landlords—there are landlords that were never anything else than ruined men— there are landlords who have fled their country; and who, like Coriolanus among the Volsci, consume their days in melancholy exile at Paris or Rome. But they cannot ac cuse rest of their ruin. Rent has been true to them, were they only true to it. Their misfortunes are beyond the reach of legislation. They would be equally unfortunate, equally poor, equally in debt, equally banished, if wheat were at 100 s. instead of 565., and if the corn-law, instead of being a slip of paper, were an eternal necessity. The tenants of these unfortunates know very well what rent they have paid, do pay, and will pay. They know that if they asked for a reduc tion on the strength of Peel's measures, they would only be laughed at. With so little to encourage even from the most friendly quarter, what is it that the Protec tionists hope to gain from the dissolution ? What at least beyond two or three stray triumphs, counteracted by many more defeats, and the ephemeral plea sure of agitati tion, misrepresentation, and abuse, of indulging without stint in false logic, false facts, false statistics, false finance, false politics during the hubbub of a general election? They would find these a poor compensation for the all but certain result,—either one or the other object of their wrath securely settled in the seven years' lease of a Parliament to his mind. Inc enapter or accidents may do much, it not LA, accomplish their views, at least to satisfy their vengeance, in ih, ,of this and the following session. Peel may have fallen by his own weight before the winter of 1847. New questions may then have arisen fatal to his cause on the registry and the hustings. A dissolution now is a dissolution on the corn law. A Parliament elected now will be a free-trade Parlia ment; and if, for the comfort of the agriculturists, the story of the late Westminster election should be repeated a hundred times over, the result will be only more permanently, more decidedly, and more offensively adverse to the feelings and supposed interests of the aristocracy. MR. BIINN'S BENEFIT.—The evening of Monday next is fixed for the benefit of the enterprising impresario of the Theatre Royal Drury-lane. The opera of Ifaritana, which has secured to Mr. Vincent Wallace a foremost rank among British composers, will be perfermed on that occasion, and Mr. Wallace will himself preside in the orchestra. A concert will follow, in which the fascinating Anna Thillon will sing a cavatina from Rossini's Barbiere di Seviglia. Mademoi selle Rummel, of whose fame as a singer all Germany is rife, will make her first appearance before a British audience, and will sing the celebrated aria, " A non credea," from Lc:Son nambula. The Ethiof ian Serenaders will give some of their most popular melodies. Monsieur Francois Prume, the cele brated Belgian violinist, will play his " Fantasie Fantastique," and Mr. Harrison and the Misses Romer and Rainsforth will give some of the choicest morceaux from the operas of the Daughter of St. Marl: and the Crusaders, the chefs decuvre of Balfe and Benedict. A divertissement will follow, in which Mademoiselle SA, Mr. Mathis, and the Elite of the corps de ballet will appear. Such a bill of fare is alone sufficient to attract a crowded house, but even were the entertainments less attractive, every lover of the lyrical will be glad to seize the opportunity of testifying his gratitude to one who, through evil report and good report, has for the last ten years laboured hard to found an English school of opera, and who has at length, by overcoming difficulties innumer able, gone far towards succeeding in his endeavour, as the operas of Balfe, Benedict, and Wallace will testify; and be it remembered that each of these now celebrated composers are indebted to Mr. Bunn for their first introduction to the British public. PRICE of GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris is 15 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10%d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 52% ; and the exchange at Paris en London at short being 25 72, it fol lows that gold is 0.78 per cent, dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 436 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of Si. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10% ; and the exchange at Ham burgh on London at short being 13 11 ,it follows that the price of gold is 0.34 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 109 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.58 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at New 'rink being for bills at GO days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. LIABILITIES OF RAILWAY SHAREHOLDERS.—It has generally been supposed that when parties comply with the demand made by railway companies for a contribution towards expens es. with an understanding that this ends their liabilities, tbew t h h o o l ug e a b ff t air of may be looked upon as terminated. Many persons have that resisting these demands, but none seem to havease though t stated by one of com pliance would lead to farther applications the provisio nal committee a new igh ommitte l eof ton the the Midland b u ee . t Grand Theparty in Junction Railway C o mpany t h rows according to his own account, paid for his quota of expenses the sum of 501. on receiving from the secretary an assurance that the board of management would use their best endeavours to protect him from further claims. This took place in January, and the party, far from supposing that the sum would be insufficient, was under the impres sion that a part would ultimately be returned. A day or two ago he received another letter, demanding the further sum of 501., on the ground that other liable parties had neg l ected to pay. With this re quest our correspondent candidly owns he does not mean to comply, and he expresses a hope that others in a similar situation will pursue the same course. The lesson to be derived from the case by the public in general is, that it is by no means safe to comply with any of the applications for money, which are now so frequent, under a belief that all further liability will be thereby avoided. SUGAR. —Last night's Gazette contains a notice to the effect that her Majesty, by and with the advice of her Privy Council, orders that from and after the Ist day of May next ensuing the date hereof, brown Muscovado, or clayed sugars (not being refined), the growth of the dominions of the republic of New Granada, shall, if imported from the dominions of the said republic, or from any British possession abroad having been imported into such British possession from the said dominions, be admitted to entry for consumption into the United Kingdom at the respective rates of duty of 11. Bs. and 1/. 3s. 4d. per cwt. respectively ; subject, nevertheless, to tke production of the like certificates, and the making of the like declaration, as are in the said Act required wits respect to sugars the growth of China, ; Java, or Manilla. KING. • ' S COLLEGE, LONDON.—Yesterday the theolo gical department of the College, established for the purpose of train ing young men as candidates for holy orders, was opened for the first time, the bishops having consented to receive the students who have passed the curriculum, without requiring them to graduate at Ox ford or Cambridge. The course is to embrace divinity in all its branches ; and before a student can obtain the honorary certificate from the principal, necessary before he can present himself to the bishop, he will be required to go through six terms, extending over two years, at an expense of twelve guineas a term. The persons who will be admissible are graduates of Oxford, Cambridge, or Dur ham, associates of King's College, and all such persons who, having passed a satisfactory examination in classics by the principal, shall obtain the recommendation of a bishop. The following clergymen have been appointed the Professors of Divinity :—The Rev. Dr. lii`Caul, rector of St, James's, Duke-place ; the Rev. F. D. Maurice, chaplain of Guy's Hospital ; and the Rev. F. C. Trench, examining chaplain to the Bishop of Oxford. EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE BY A Boy.—On Tuesday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Lord Nelson, Nicol's-row, Church street, Shoreditch, on the body of William Thomas Figess, aged nine years, who destroyed himself under the following circumstances:- 11e deceased resided with his mother at No. It, Vincent-,treet, in this neighbourhood ; his father having absconded from his home about four years since, and no tidings of him had been since learned. The deceased was always considered a very mild-tempered child, and never exhibited any appearances of mental aberration. On last Sunday forenoon he asked his mother for a halfpenny to purchas an India-rubber ball of one of his playmates. Be was refused, after sitting awhile in a chair in a sullen manner, he suddei t i t ly boy and left the room.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]-BOTANIC WATER AND BEAR'S Gazasz.—When the hair is becoming thin, and falling off, the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above-named articles, applied alternately—the bo tanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf and as a stimulant, and the bear's grease as a nourisher. If any further evidence was required of the virtues of bear's grease for renovating and preserving the hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the North Ame rican Indians, would be a sufficient answer. Ross and Sons, 119, and 120, Bishopsgate-street, who first introduced the use of bear's grease in this country, and who fat and kill the ani mals, recommend the public to purchase none other but with their names and address printed on the pot, or the chances are their obtaining a spurious article. All vegetable oils applied to the hair are worse than useless. DARING HOTEL ROBBERY.-Yesterday information was circulated throughout the police divisions of the following daring robbery having been committed at the Adelaide Hotel, London bridge:—lt appears that a man, of respectable appearance, about thirty years of age, about five feet seven inches high, had been stay ing four nights at the hotel, and left about half-past eight o'clock yesterday morning. After his departure it was discovered tat two of the bed-roems in the hotel had been entered and robbed ; h one in the occupation of M.

COR N - EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY The arrivals of Wheat of home produce up to our market this week, coastwise as well as by land carriage and samples, have been on a fair average scale, and of greatly improved quality. Although the attendance of buyers here this morning was limited, the demand for most descriptions was steady at fully the currencies obtained en Monday, and at which a good clearance was effected. The show of free Foreign Wheat was small. Fine dry qualities were in good request at extreme prices. An kinds of Corn under bond were a mere drug but not cheaper. The stocks are still increasing. Not Withstanding the supplies of Barley and Malt were small, the sales for those articles were in a very sluggish state, at barely late rates. The Oat trade was very firm, arid good dry swat Corn pro duced a trifle more money. Beans, Peas, and Flour very dull, at Monday's quotations. ARRIVALS. Barley.

Sir Edward Kerrison, M.P., and Lady Kerrison, arrived at their residence in Great Stanhope-street, yesterday, for the season, front Brighton. The Attorney-General had an interview with the Earl of Dalhousie yesterday, at the office of the Board of Trade. Sir Edward Kerrison, M.

Mr. Goodsir has been elected from among a list of distinguished men to fill the chair of anatomy in the University of Edinburgh, vacant V the removal of Dr. Lizers to the University of Aberdeen. STEAM NAvIGATIoN.—The Court of' the Iccorporated Company of Watermen and Lightermen have issued a second notice. which has been posted along shore, stating that they are ready to grant licenses for steam and sailing boats navigated upon the river Thames between Windsor and Gantlet Creek, regulating the number of passengers to be carried therein. The notice also states that all persons navigating such boats without having obtained such licenses will subject themselves to the penalties mentioned in the bye-laws made by the Court of Aldermen of [the City of London. Only one license has been yet applied for, and we understand the steam-boat companies intend to resist the new bye-laws which regulate the num ber of passengers to be carried .on board steamers, and a l so t h e i r speed in the crowded parts of the river. The beadles of the Water men and Lightermen's Company have received directions to take out summonses against the masters of steamers who refuse to com ply with the bye-laws. In the event of convictions, the steam-boat companies not owly intend to appeal to the quarter sessions, but t• question the validity of the bye-laws in the Court of Queen's Bench. The Lord Mayor has expressed nix determination to convict in every case that mt.eta nut. and to inflict the full penalty. Under these circumstances there will probably be a rich crap at eurnmvazac.o. ammonia, and write nf sneer tire steam ers navigated by freemen of the Watermen and Lightennen's Com pany. The large steamers, under the command of Cinque Ports men and others, including those on the Margate and Ramsgate stations, do not come within the range of the new laws. VISIT OF THE HEREDITARY PRINCE OF SAXE MEININGEN TO WOOLWICH.—At a quarter past eleven o'clock yes terday his Serene Highness the Hereditary Prince of Saxe-Meiningen. accompanied by Sir A. Barnard and Captain Taylor, arrived at Woolwich. Having been received by Major-General Sir H. D. Ross, K.C.8., and a numerous staff of officers of the Royal Artillery, his Serene Highness proceeded from the garrison on horseback. Three troops of the Royal Artillery, commanded by Colonel Wylde, C. 8., were assembled in review order on the common, and imme diately upon the appearance of the distinguished visitor, went through their evolutions with much precision and celerity. The Prince subsequently proceeded to the Royal Military Academy, where he remained a considerable time examining the hall, library, quar ters, and exercising ground of the gentlemen cadets. The Rotunda and Repository grounds ; the barracks, and the square in which the Royal Horse Artillery are quartered, were also honoured with similar visits, his Serene Highness partaking of an elegant collation in the mess-room. The Prince then witnessed the rocket practice on the Marshes, and afterwards examined almost every department in the Royal Arsenal. His Serene Highness entered the royal car riage opposite the boring establishment, and left Woolwich at a quarter before five o'clock for London, accompanied by Sir Andrew Barnard and Captain Taylor. MAGDALEN COLLEGE ELECTION.—OXFORD, APRIL 21.—This day Mr. James Barney, 8.A., scholar of University Col lege, was elected fellow of Magdalen College. THE " STAGS."—It is rumoured that a distinguished West-end Club, of a strong political character, and which numbers among its members numerous Parliamentarians, have had recently within their walls some very active •• stags," collected for the pur pose of gathering information respecting the manner in which many of the railway schemes were concocted, and the parties active therein. Whether the information is desired for Parliamentary use has not transpired. That some very extraordinary details might be procured, supposing parties to be examined who could be believed, few will doubt; and if they could only be obtained and published, perhaps they would show that more unblushing efforts in the " art of money-making" never was practised. DEATH OF GENERAL SIR MOORE DISNEY, K.C.B. COLONEL OF THE 15TH REGIMENT OF FOOT,-Ne have to record the death of another General Officer, Sir Moore Disney, K.C.8., who expired on Sunday last, atter a lengthened illness, at his residence in Upper Brook-street. The gallant deceased was in his 81st year, having been in the army since April 1783, a period of exactly sixty three years. Ile was eldest son of Mr. Moore Disney. of Church town, Waterford, and married Miss Yarborough, daughter of the late Mr. G. Cooke Yarborough, of Streethouse, Yorkshire. Sir M. Disney entered the army as ensign in the Ist Foot Guards, and served with that regiment to the close of the American war. In the year 1793 he was ordered with his regiment to join the army in Flanders, and after being engaged in most of the actions at that seat of war, he returned with the forces to England, he and was present at the iar my May, ln 4 1715 ; gads of dis astrous battle of Corunna, where be commanded a bri be u ln nder th S e ir John Year MlooBorBe, proceeded to join the re serve.

MARRIAGE DISAPPOINTMENT.—A curious scene oc curred at the parish church of St. Mary-le: Strand this morning, between ten and eleven o'clock. Two young couple presented them selves at the altar for the purpose of being married, when the brother of one of the bridegrooms made an objection to the affair, which was overruled by the Rev.lir. Denham,the rector, and he was proceeding to perform the ceremony when the objector said that the marriage of his brother should not take place, and that lie had another objection to make, which was that they could not be married at that church as they did not belong to the parish, which was held to be fatal to the parties offering themselves, as upon inquiry beingmade was found to be true. The parties then left the church, declaring that they would go to their own parish and have the affair finally settled. IMPORTATION OF FLOUR.—On Monday the American ship (Columbus arrived in the st.
