(THE EASTERN COUNTIES). reply his e S n e rg b e e a h n a t l f W o it f A t s h o e Loudon Am a y His first remarks went to prove that it was a very grave obec tion to the Eastern Counties line that it was under the same fiproceaenddedYc thisrk mßoarniliwng7ith management as the lines which afforded accommodation to the Midland Counties. He did not, of course, wish to cast any personal reflections on the shoulders of those connected with him in the management of that line. He considered it absolutely necessary that there should be an independent line to London and York. He would not enter into the ge neral question of competition ; their Lordships would be able to form a much better opinion on that subject than he was. The Eastern Counties line proposed to make use of certain pieces of the Midland line, for the purpose of completing the line to York. At present there was the greatest harmony of feeling between the Eastern Counties and the Midland Counties Companies. It might not, how ever, be always so; and wh en thi s h armony o f f ee li ng was destroyed, he contended that the character which should ever attend an independent line would be completely de stroyed, and the interests of the public most seriously de ranged. The London and York line would go as near as possible in the direction of the old road, and accommodate the towns and villages which had grown up on the sides of the road; whereas by the opposing lines the inhabitants of these towns and districts would have to migrate to those Faeces through which the Eastern Counties line would pass. tlis Learned Friend Mr. Austin stated that he had a right and title to the country line between London and York. The Learned Counsel contended that they had not the slightest ground for making this claim ; as, by an Act which they obtained in the year 1840, they proposed to abandon that portion of their line between nishop's Stortford and Cambridge. It had been stated by his Yearned Friend, with a great deal of that which was sometimes called effrontery, and eve n sometimes by a harsher name, that if tie London and York Bill was passed the line would never be made. He (Sergeant Wrangham) considered that such an assertion came with a bad grace from those who were obliged to plead to a writ of mandamus, which was issued against them for not completing their line beyond Col chester, that they had not the means of doing so, and they *could not, therefore, complete the work assigned to them in their Act. Mr. Sergeant WItANGHAM then proceeded at some length into the question of the estimates of the line. The cost of constructing the London and Birmingham and the Grand Junction Railway was not more than the estimate for the proposed London and York. Their Lordships would not, he was sure, sanction a scheme which proposed to lay the traffic of the north of England by a circuitous route on a crowded line. With reference to the residential injury to the palace of the A rc hbi s h o p o f York, that would be avoided ley a deviation. In conclusion he called upon their Lordships to sanction the London and York in preference to any other scheme proposed, as it had the confidence of the public, and York, th e mos t di rect and continuous line from London to lork, and the north of Eng land and Scotland itself. At the conclusion of the Learned Counsel's observation; which occupied the whole of the period of the sittings of the Committee, The NOBLE LOAD intimated that the Committee would reserve their decision till Monday next. Room A. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPIC COMPANY. - - The Committee appointed by their Lordships to inquire into the merits of this Bill assembled for the first time this morning. _ _ _ Mr. HILL, Q. C., appeared for 'the promoters, and in a speech of some length stated the interests likely to result to the country from the establishment of this company. The Bill was opposed. as it had been in the Commons' Committee, by Mr. A. Bain, who claimed priority of inven tion, and who also stated that the last improvements which had been patented by Messrs. Cooke and Wheatstone were not of a nature to benefit the public. The Committee intimated that Mr. Webster, who appeared for Mr. Bain, must confine his evidence solely to the ques tion of the piracy by Messrs. Cooke and Wheatstone of Mr. Bain's invention. The Committee then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP XVII. MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON, AND SOUTH-WESTERN (ROMSET AND atED. BRIDGE BRANCH). The Committee met this morning at the usual hour, the Hun. E. Yorke in the chair. MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON. The cross-examination of Mr. Edwards, collector of the port of Southampton, was resumed by Sir T. PHILLIPS, on behalf of the Great Western Railway and landowners on the route of the proposed line. The witness detailed the various items and quantities which made up the aggregate quantities and sums adduced in his evidence yestei day. It will be recollected that he estimated that the traffic of this line to the north would be 88.000 tons, 30,000 of which were estimated as the probable increase, owing to the facilities which it would afford. The imports at Southampton would be materially increased on account of direct and moderate communication with the north; co r n, f or i nstance , wou ld come in greater quantities from Russia, Sw e d en , D enmar k , Prussia, and, in fact, from the whole north of Europe. The aggregate quantities were made up of the following:— raw silk, 300 tons ; mohair yarn, 12 tons ; worsted, 20 tons; saffron and gums, 150 tons; goat's hair, 187 tons; manufactured silks and stuffs, from France, 300 tons ; merinos, green and dried fruit, wines, spirits, and other articles from France, 2,000 tons; corn from France, 2,400 tons; goods of various kinds from the Channel Islands, 1,000 tons ; from the Mediterranean, 1,000 tons ; East Indies, 400 tons. 12,000 tons of corn now sent by water and other modes'of communication to the north, would be diverted to this line, 200 tons of coffee, 150 tons of manufactured and unmanufactured tobacco, and 6,000 tons of the present coast traffic. When he estimated the cost of transmitting a ton of goods from Southampton to Manchester at 11., he did so at the rate of a penny per mile, which he considered would before long be the general rate of charge for goods on all the railways in the country ; a n d t h e G reat W estern, h e ex pected, would be th e fi rst to set the example. When he said the cost of transit at present was 31. Is. 6d., he did so at the rates now charged by the existing lines, and included the charge of transit between the termini of the South-Western and London and Birmingham. Re-examined by Mr. ALExaatnxit—He found that the charge would be the same for all the proposed lines which ran in any way towards the north, and that the Manchester and Southampton, owing to its direct and short route, pos sessed an advantage to that extent over all. By the proposed line, the saving in transit to the public in the 85,000 tons would be 6,600 tons. If the line were now made there could be no doubt that 58,000 tons of goods would go by it, and instead of the increase being 30,000, it could not fail to be much greater. The necessity of such a line had long ex isted in his mind, and he had even suggested its construction to individuals connected with the Great Western, but they had not thought proper to take it up. H. dm a3 ampton, examined by Mr. JAMES—Had received frequent communications ' from his c onst i tuents and from the public Esq., ALP, one of th e M em b ers f or South bodies of the town with re s p ect to obtaining more direct and cheaper communication with the manufacturing districts of the north. He considered t h at such a communication as that afforded by the proposed line would be of great advan tage to the inhabitants of the town. Another independent station would also be an advantage. Cross-examined by Mr. Smarr—Bullion was landed at Southampton, and not at Falmouth. Mr. Joseph Lobb, de puty-lieutenant of the county and mayor for the third time of Southampton, and a director of the South of England Steam-packet Company, stated that a resolution was passed at a meeting of the town council, in July last year, in favour of the Manchester and Southampton, and calling on the Members for the borough, for the county, and for the Isle of Wight to support it in Parliament. Ameet ing of the inhabitants of the town was held on the 12th August, at which resolutions in favour of the line were passed, and a petition signed by parties paying more than half of the assessment of the borough. That feeling continued up to the present time. At a meeting held in London, in compliance with the sessional orders, he held 5,000 shares belonging to persons in the town of Southampton who assented to the line ; others, who were present also, held large numbers of shares, and, in fact, the meeting was unanimous for pro ceeding with the line. The inhabitants of the town generally were in favour of the line. The opening up of a direct communication with the north would be of the utmost advantage to the line. A station on the pier would also be of advantage; besides an independent sta tion, and an independent line would lead to competition, by which the public would be benefited. By Mr. Auanx—Had fifty shares allotted to him, which he sold at 51. ss. premium. He had since bought five shares ; he could not say at what price, as he had not paid for them. He could not say whether the other Town Councillors held shares but if they did not the y ought to be ashamed of themselves He did not simply look at the saving of the distance to the north by the Manchester and Southampton, but to the ad vantage possessed which • it over any other proposed line on account of avoiding break of gauge, which was a serious drawback. About 7,000 shares were allotted to persons in Southampton. Re-examined by Mr. JamEs—The shares were not at a premium when he applied for them. He did not think of a premium. He applied in August, and received his allot. ment in October-7,000 bore but a slight proportion to the number of shares applied for. Only one shareholder, hold ing twenty shares, was dissentient at the meeting referred to, notwithstanding the depreciation of th e s h ares of the last lines since the autumn of last year. The town was quite as unanimous in favour of the line. A company was in course of formation whose boats would no doubt effect the passage between Southampton and Havre in from eight to ten hours. Mr. W. A. Somers, partner in a steam boiler foundry and iron ship-building establishment at Southampton, examined by Mr. Camps—He received from 950 to 1,000 tons of pig and bar iron in the course of the year from Stafford shire and Shropshire, and from 1,200 to 1,300 tons of coal and coke from Newcastle. The iron generally came by canal to London, and from thence to South ampton along the coast. The coke and coal came from Newcastle by coasters. The delay occasioned great inconvenience, and compelled them to use a greater amount of capital in their business in keeping stock than would be necessary if they had direct communication with the north. So great had been this inconvenience and loss of time, that they had recently had some of it by railway—by the Birm i b ngham and South-wised b rn Railway. Th e b reaks of gauge y y the se author Parliament would be of reat disadvantage, in additi on to being eighteen miles g longer. Could come all the way from Southampton the same back. as elicited by the Chairman that the line would run in favour of it, as onistt could ruct ed, o a t nd be from Manchester to Southamp ton on lines made or to be P., than an imp ortant feeder.

Mr. D. W. HARVEY, one of the special Committee, saidh report,ad prosecuted doned. At a former meeting a Committee had been appointed to examine into the condition and prospects of this Company, with a view to shareholders coming to a vote this day. Tile committee had discharged the duties which devolved upon them, and had formed their report, which of course, when read would influence the mind of the shareholders by as much as it might appear worth. He then stated that the attention of the Committee had been called to one point in their report since coming into the room. They had reported that the Provisional Committee in February last, when it was for them to decide whether they should go on or not, were in a deficiency in respect of the deposits required by the stand ing orders of both Houses, amounting to 10,000/. ; whereas it appeared that they had funds in hand reducing that deficiency to 7,0001., although as it affected the finances of the company the correction would ultimately leave them they were. Mr. HARVEY then read the report, which stated the original capital of the Company was 1,100,0001., and 22,000 shares, at 50/. each with a deposit of 21. 103. ; but of these shares only 14,350 had been allotted, and only 11,670 had been paid upon, realising 29,1751., which, with interest allowed by the bank, was, 29,4131., the total capital of the company. The expenditure up to the present time had been 16,6181, and the unadjusted conjectural claims against the company would nearly absorb the disposable capital. In February the amount of capital in hand was 12,7941., or near 10,0001. less than was required to be paid in accordance to the standing orders of the House. The report concluded with an opinion that it would neither be practicable nor prudent to prosecute the Bill, and recommended the appointment of a select committee of three share holders, "who should institute such proceedings, and make such arrangements most conducive, under all the cir cumstances, to ensure the largest return f the deposits." Mr. ADAM SMITH moved an adjournment, that the share holders might have an opportunity to consider the report. The CHAIRMAN said the point before the meeting, and which they had to decide, was, whether they should prose cute the Bill to a third reading, or not ? After observations had been made by several persons, this question was put to the vote, when there appeared—. Agrinst proceeding 3,745 shares. For Majority against proceeding with the Bill 3,090. It was moved and seconded that the report of the special committee should be adopted. This was put to the meeting and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then retired, and _ _ Mr. D. W. HARVEY, having taken the chair, proposd the adoption of the Committee's recommendation to appoint a Select Committee of their shareholders for the purpose stated in the report, and added the following resolution : "That only those shareholders should be entitled to the benefit of these arrangements, who had given in their names on or before the 15th of June instant, and that all expenses be borne rateably by the shares, and on the understanding that expenses should not be incurred above 2s. per share, without calling together the owners themselves, who, at such meeting, should be at liberty to retire altogether, after paying such expenses, not being more than 28. per share." These resolutions were carried unanimously, and the fol lowing gentlemen were nominated on the Committee :—Mr. C. H. Baldwin, M.P., Mr. Harvey, and Mr. Whalley. The meeting, after a vote of thanks to Mr. HaNey, then broke up. WEXFORD, WATERFORD, and VA LENTIA RAILWAY. A special meeting of the subscribers to the deed of this Company, took place yesterday at the George and Vulture Tavern, in order to receive a report from the directors re lative to Valentia Harbour. W. Ricaardson, Esq., in the chair. A report from Mr. Walker to the Lords' Commissioners of the Admiralty. on the Harbour of Valentia, was read. It strongly recommended the adoption of the Harbour, as an American Packet Station. A resolution to withdraw the Bill for the present session, in order to obtain the support of Government to it in the next, was agreed to by an almost unanimous vote. The meeting then separated.

The fury of the elements is gradually hushed—a profound calm succeeds the storm. Whilst the travellers are thank ing Allah for their preservation, night is gradually coming on. The caravan encamps on the spot, and the attendants of the Princess erect her pavilion. The most exuberant gaiety succeeds to the alarm which had prevailed but a moment before. SCENE V.—Star of Venus.—The Moon.—Night. SCENE Vl.—The Pavilion The Princess, grieved at the absence of Feramory, begs Fadladeen to send for him, but the latter Grades the request by S aying that the Princess needs repose rather than listen to the frivolous fantastic nonsense of the so-called bard. But the little Persian slave of the Princess has slyly slipped out and warned the poet of her mistress's desire to see him ; he enters, and Lallah Rookh expresses the wish that his sweet minstrelsy should calm her mind after the agitation she has that day passed through. He complies, but Fadladeen, with his usual ill-natured spite, finds fault with the poet and the performer, saying that, for his part, he prefers his sweet-scented chibouk. Feramory hearing this, breaks forth into the wild and joyous strain of the chibouk song, and the Princess, inspired by these enlivening sounds, dances to the tune. The fumes of the opium he smokes sends Fadladeen to sleep, and whilst he dreams of Mahomet's paradise and the Houri, Lalla Rookh and Feramory take advantage of the opportunity to avow their mutual love. SCENE Vll.—The Sandy Waste. The sun rises and sheds his warm beams over the dreary expanse, across which Lalla Rookh and her suite are to pur sue their toilsome journey, and the caravan resumes its march. SCENE VIII.—KIOSK.—CASHMERE. Lalla Rookh has at length arrived in the far- famed valley of Cashmere. If anything could have charmed away the melancholy of her spirits, it would have been the fresh air and enchanting scenery of the valley which the Persians so justly call the unequalled. But neither the wonders nor glories of the most lovely country under the sun, nor the gay pomps and processions that meet her on every side, nor the magnificence of her reception, can steal her heart for a minute from her sad thoughts. The rose- coloured bridal veil is flung over her head ; the ambassadors come to tell her that all is prepared for the nuptial ceremony, and that the King awaits her. The glance of Lallah Rookh falls upon the poet; she wishes to refuse the hand of the proud Mo narch, but Fadladeen expostulates with her, reminding her of the dangers of a refusal. She at length gives way, and is led forth like a victim to the sacrifice. SCENE IX.—The Vale of Cashmere and Feast of Roses. 'Twas when the hour of evening came Upon the lake serene and cool ; All were abroad—the busiest hive On Bela's hill is less alive, When saffron beds are full in flower, Than looked the valley in that hour. A thousand restless touches played Through every grove and island shade ; A thousand sparkling lamps are set On every dome and minaret ; And fields and pathways, far and near, Were lighted by a blaze so clear, That you could see in wandering round The smallest rose leaf ou the ground. Yet do the maids and matrons leave Their veils at home, that brilliant eve; And there were glancing eyes about, And cheeks that would not dare shine out In open day, but thought they might Look lovely then because 'twas night! And all were free and wandering. And what a wilderness of flowers! It seemed as though from all the bowers And fairest fields of all the year, The mingled spoil were scattered here. • The lake, too, like a garden breathes, With the rich buds that o'er it lie— As if a shower of fairy wreaths Had fall'n upon it from the sky ! And then the sounds of joy—the beat Of tabors and of dancing feet; The minaret crier's chant of glee Sung from his lighted gallery, And answered by a ziraleet From neighouring harem wild and sweet; The merry laughter, echoing From gardens, where the silken swing Wafts some delighted girl above The top leaves of the (warps grove ; Or from those infant groups at play Among the tents that line the way, Flinging, unaw'd by slave or mother, Handfuls of roses at each other. Then, the sounds from the lak e —th e l ow whisperings in boats As they shoot through the moonlight—the dipping of oars— And the wild airy warblihg that everywhere floats Through the groves round the islands. But the gentlest of all are those sounds full of feeling That soft from the lute of seine lover are stealing. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. As customary, Don Giovanni attracted an overflowing as semblage, the pit being so crowded at one moment as to be impassable. The comparative coolness of the house, with such a crowd in so warm a season, showed last night the good result of having consulted scientific men in the new ven tilation of the edifice, in all respects, essential as well as ornamental, so admirably restored. The heat, unbearahle in most edifices, is here kept down by currents of the out ward air, so subdivided and so general, that no draught is felt. Thus is salubrity combined with recreation. The pressure of matter will not allow of our doing justice to the performances of the night. It suffices to say, that the dances as well as the lyrical portion of the entertainments met with repeated applause and encores. One encore alone failed—it was that of the shadow dance—the treacherous moon would not light itself again, and consequently the heroine of the pas, although recalled twice running, and en ticed with bouquets, could not gratify her admirers. Le dflire d'un Peintre, admirably enacted by Grahn, and a new pas of the graceful Taglioni, finished triumphantly the per formance of the night. THE SCENARIO OF THE NEW BALLET OF LAMA. A00K13.• EPIGRAPH. " The imperial Selim held a feast In his magnificent shalamir, In whose saloons when the first star Of evening o'er the water trembled, The valley's loveliest all assembled; All the bright creatures that, like dreams, Glide through its foliage, and drink beams Of beauty from its founts and streams; Here, too, the harem's inmates smile; Maids from the west, with sun-bright hair, And from the garden of the Nile, Delicate as the roses there; Daughters of love from Cyprus' rocks With Paphian diamonds in their locks; Light pen forms, such as there are On the gold meads of Candahar ; Everything young, everything fair, From east and west is blushing there. The board is spread with fruits and wine, With grapes of gold, like those that shine On Cusbin's hills;—pomegranates full Of melting sweetness, a n d the pears And sunniest apples that Cabool In all its thousand gardens bears; Plaiatains, the golden, and the green; Malaya's nectar'd mangusteen ; • • Every thing young, everything fair, From east and west is blushing there." SCENE I.—lnterior of the Palace of Lahore.—Hall of the Durbar. A brilliant scene is taking place at Lahore, where the great and magnificent Emperor Aurungzebe is holding his court. Ambassadors have arrived from Aliris, the King of Bucharia, demanding in marriage for the young Monarch the (laughter of the Emperor, Lalla Rookh, described by the Persian poe±s as the most beautiful of those heroines whose names and loves embellish the songs and tales of Persia and Hindostan. It is agreed that the nuptials shall be celebrated at Cashmere, where the young King, as soon as the cares of empire will permit, is to meet for the first time his loVely bride ; and they will remain for a time in that enchanting valley before travelling over the snowy hills into Bucharia. The King of Bucharia has sent a brilliant suite, amongst whom is a lovely troop of Tartarian and Cashmerian maids of honour, to accompany his beautiful bride. With them conies a young poet of Cashmere, on whom his royal master has conferred the privilege of being admitted to the pavilion of the Princess, that he may beguile the tediousness of the journey by some of his most fanciful recitals. The minstrel is accordingly introduced to the presence of Lalla Rookli. He holds a kitar in his hand, and much pleases the Princess by his skilful execution, his graceful bearing, and pleasing manners ; but there is a personage in Lalla Rookh's suite, whe is by no means so much delighted at the appear ance of the young poet ; it is Fadladeen, the great nazir, or chamberlain of Lalla Rookh—a personage in his own opinion of infinite importance, and who looks with the keenest jealousy on all whose talents or attractions bring them into notice. He endeavours to turn the young poet into ridicule, but in vain, and, discomfited, he withdraws full of secret rage. The new companions of Lalla Rookh now surround her, with the lovely inhabitants of that city which is so soon to be deprived of her graceful presence. They dance a Hindoo dance, in which they form into various groups, each more graceful than the preceding one, while the most fan tastic pageantry is going on around them, giving the whole represented the appearance of a scene of enchantment. Lalla Rookh, with her fair attendants, executes a dance, in whi c h, as i s the The f followingashio ni in Hairnedsoosmta:, of the imitateye everyfiguresimaginable figure. by the Hindoo maids : Hermes The Stars The Shell The Pine Apples The Kiosks The Car of the Rising Sun The Cage The Butterflies The Mirrors The Sun's Rays The Harps The Living Statue and its The framed Picture of the Pedestal Morning Breeze SCENE ll.—Distant view of Lahore.—The Departure. The royal party have left Lahore, which is still in sight, unbroken with the cavalcade, which presents one line of splendour. SCENE 111.--Sandy Waste. First, the jungle, the lair of tigers—and next, the dreari ness of a desert waste, has taken the place of those smiling scenes through which the journey of Lalla Rookh has hitherto laid. A wild and gloomy tract, covered with a low bushy jungle, is present to the eye, only alternated by the awful signal of the bamboo staff, above which waves a white flag, which warns the traveller that in that spot a tiger has devoured his victim. The caravan is seen approaching in the distaice. SCENE IV.—The Tempest of Sand.—Suddenly the Whirl wind r. A fearful temp es t has come onises . The caravan is dispersed by the storm—the travellers fly in every direction for safety, leaving the Princess alone to brave the fury of the simpeorn: which rages with resistless force.

THZ RICOGNITION. Lalla Rookh, surrounded by her ladies, and led forward by Fadladeen, advances. But such is the agitation of her heart and frame, that it is with difficulty that she walks up the marble steps, which are covered with cloth of gold, for her ascent from the barge. Aliris, the youthful King of Bucharia, is seated on a throne, by the side of which is an other, destined in a few moments for the most beautiful princess in the world. Immediately upon the entrance of Lalla Rookh the monarch descends from his throne to meet her, but scarcely has he time to take her hand in his, when she screams with surprise, and faints at his feet. It is Feramory himself who stands before her—Feramory himself, the sovereign of Bucharia, who in this disguise had accompanied his young bride from Lahore, and, having won her love as a humble minstrel, now amply deserves to enjoy it as a king. The consternation of Fadladeen is pitiable ; but, to make up for the false step he had taken, and to propi tiate the favour of his new master, be swears by all the saints of Islam that never has there existed so great a poet as the monarch Aliris. The ballet concludes by the rejoicings and the floral dances of the "Feast of the Roses" COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROSI. OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS. MAY 30.

Several large houses have been taken during the week. The hay harvest would have commenced generally in the island, but for the want of hands. Mowers cannot be ob tained for money. The crops are very heavy. The corn looks well, but would be much benefited by a few hours' rain, the heat being oppressive. PuraToss.—There is quite a panic amongst the potato growers of the Isle of Wight, in consequence of the appear ance of the potato blight. It was seen first in this island last year; it now, as in 1845, has appeared on the stems, but it has not spread, as it then did, to the leaves and tubers, but it is expected that it will do so with the first rain. At pre sent the tubers are dug up quite perfect, however spotted the stem. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. LONDON, .Tcus — —S.W indE., light pleasant breeze, with hot su ltr y weather.

THE ANTICIPAThD ARRIVAL OF IBRAHIM PACRA. The arrival of this illustrious stranger was fully expected yesterday afternoon at Portsmouth ; and, agreeably to the instructions from the Government, all the necessary arrange ments for his Highness's reception at Mivart's Hotel were completed by on Thursday morning, The elegant range of rooms known as the state apart ments, which have been occupied by the King of the Nether. lands, his Imperial Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of Russia, his Imperial Highness the Grand bake Michael - 1d Russia, his Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Wirtem berg, his Imperial Highness the Archduke Frederick of Austria, and other connexions of the crowned heads. of Europe, have, by the orders of the Earl of Aberden, been placed at the Pa c ha' a di s p osa l, b es id es p r i v a te rooms and dar mitories for his distinguished attendants.. In consequence of tne anticipated arrival of his Hightiees from Dieppe. there has been a considerable number of fool' les at the terminus of the South-41 astern Railway at Vauxhall; for it is arranged that immediately the French squadron comes in sight of Portsmouth the fact shall be announced by the electric telegraph, so that the Government may be -in possession of the earliest intelligence. There are also ms sengera in waiting to convey the information to Mivart's. In order that several carriages may be sent to the station from that establishment. We are given to understand that the Pacha does not con template a sojourn of anv duration at the Royal Dvckwaid, as was originally . expected. Major Dickson, of the Royal Engineers, has been selected by the Government to attend on his Highness as Equerry during his sejour in this country. A laughable incident occurred at the station last evening. It appears that the electric telegraph announced to the at- , tendant that "The Pacha has arrived," and some excite ment was caused by the conveyance of the above four words, the official at the moment thinking as well as himself that it referred to the gallant Pacha, but the subsequent com munication dispelled all uncertainty, for it turned out to tie the Pacha steamer, which had arrived in safety with her passengers, all well. The Earl of Aberdeen, as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, has requested that the Pacha be received with every distinction becoming his elevated rank and high influence as son of the " magnifique ruler of Egypt," as our French nei ghbours have call e d hi s f a th er . Th ere i s no doubt but that his Hi g h ness will be a "lion " in this capital. In the retinue of his Highness are the following ;—Soliman (privat e sec Pacha, t General Ib ra hi m Bey, and Captain Mustapha Effendi, ide s - de - camp to hi s Hi g h ness ; Colonel Bonfort, M. Carabet Ef f endi Higss. hness). About retary), and M. Joubert (interpreter to Highne thirty servants are in th e s ui te of his CALEDONIAN ASYLUM. A general court of the corporation of the Asylum was held on Thursday, at t h e hall of the ScottishCalfdonian Hos pital, Crane-court, Fleet-street ; J. A. Simpson of the treasurers, took the chair. Ther e was a' ntstfin;erooneu attendance of governors of the institution, it being under stoods that an amendment to the decision of the preceding court was to be moved by the ministers of th e S cott i sh Presbytery in London in connexion with the Established Church of Scotland, with respect to the examination and religious superintendence of the children. The last court decided that the Presbyterian clergy of the metropolis ge nerally were to be the examinators, m opposition to the usage of a quarter of a century, during which it had been connected with the Established Church; and upon the mo tion_for the confirmation of the minutes, The G- rose, and contended that no departure should take place from precedent and practice without very grave and serious reasons indeed, but as none such had been alleged, he hoped that the determination of the previous court would be reconsidered. He strongly de precated the adoption by the institution of a sectarian (la. ratter. He understood that some friends were about to propose an intermediate course, and if upon the discussion of the subject he should find that the feeling of the meeting was in its favour, for the sake of peace and charity, and the extinction of religious animosities, he would agree to it. He moved that that portion of the minutes which had reference to the proposed change be not confirmed. The amendment having been seconded, Captain CHARLES FORBES said, that with a view to the stilling of that party spirit which had so long disturbed the management of the charity, he should propose a motion, which could offend neither party, and he trusted at the same time would heal all the differences upon ecclesiastical mattirf. He moved that the examination of the children be conducted in future by the Government inspectors of schools, and ths4 the directors should invite such clergymen and friends as they should deem fit.—( Hear, hear.) The motion having been seconded a discussion ensued, in the course of which it was intimated that the Noble Presi dent, his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, sanctioned the pro. posed amicable arrangement. The Rev. Dr. CUMMING said that upon the distinct under standing that ministers were to be present - as spectators or guardians, and not as examinators, he would, with a view to a good understanding among all parties, withdraw his oppo sition. The motion of the Gallant Captain was then put from the chair, and agreed to unanimously. Application was made to the court for permission to sell out 1,0001.-stock of the funded property of the charity, to defray the extraordinary expenses occasioned by the new buildings, and the admission of girls into the asylum. The required permission having been granted, six boys and four girls were elected, a rote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and the court broke up. LEGAL FESTIVALS.—The annual " great grand " meetings of the societies of the Inner and Middle Temple have taken place. That of the latter society was held on Thursday, when the benchers and several of the judges. mem bers of the society, mustered in strong forces, and partook of a grand entertainment in the Hall, which, as usual on extra occasions, was densely thronged by members of the bar, and " commoners" of the society, who, as accustomed at the annual great grand banquet, did honour upon the occasion to the Queen, in extra allowances .of old port. The Judges, of whom there were present the Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Justice Erle, &c., were warmly greeted on their departure. Of the members present, there were the treasurer, Biggs Andrews, Esq., ; Dr. Robinson, Master of the Temple ; J. Jervis, Esq., M.P. ; and Messrs. Knowles, Cockburn, Balguy, Martin, Whitehouse, Bethel, Sir It. Comyn, Sir William Owen, and many other learned gentlemen. On the 3d inst., the periodic great grand dinner of the Benchers of the Inner Temple took place in the Hall of that society, and was attended by moat of the Judges, of whom there were present the Lord Chief Baron, Sir F. Pollock, Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr. Justice Patteson, Mr. Justice Wiglitman, Mr. Justice Erle, Mr. Justice Creswell, Mr. Baron Platt, the Master of the Rolls, &c., &c. HEROIC CONDUCT.—Thursday afternoon an accident occurred at Dyer's Wharf; which, but for the heroic conduct of a spectator, would have been attended with the loss of human life. A boy of about twelve years of age, fell from a lighter, and had gone down two or three times, when George Latham, a man of about 50 years of age, seeing the youth's danger, promptly took off his coat and plunged into the river. This gallant effort, we rejoice to add, was successful, though made at the imminent peril of Lathars's own life, The present, we understand, is the third instance of this individual's having been the means of saving a fellow creature from a watery grave. NICASE or STABBING.—On Thursday afternoon, about three o'clock, a young man named John Burrows, a bell hanger, of No. 7, Holborn-buildings, Holborn, was brought into St. Bartholomew's Hospital, by some of the City police constables, in a state of great agony, in consequence of his having been stabbed in the abdomen, a short time pre viously, by his own brother, by what is technically called a bell carriage—a long piece of four square iron, pointed at one end. Upon examination by the surgeon, it was found that the wound was of a dangerous character, being fully an inch and a half in depth, and situated immediately below the navel. The unfortunate man, who was previously an out patient of the institution of which he is now an inmate, it appears, visited his brother William, who is also a bell hanger in Coleman-street buildings, Moorgate ; and fi- ding there another brother named Charles, who is a few years younger, he remonstrated th him upon some impropriety of conduct it is said he hart been guilty of, when the latter suddenly snatched up the instrument above-mentioned, and thrust it with great force into the abdomen of his unfortu nate brother, and would have repeated the blow, had not the poor sufferer have fallen to the ground. The unfortunate man is at present considered in a dangerous state. DESTRUCTIVE Fin . e morning, at a few minute r : of Messrs.

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE A CLERGYMAN.-011 Fri day last, about five o'clock P.M., the Rev Standish O'Grady Parker, when returning home from Nenagh, was fired at by one of those miscreants who have so long disgraced the North Riding of Tipperary. This inhuman attempt is the more attrocious as the,Rev. Gentleman is one of the most kind and indulgent landlords to be found in any country, and has never been known to eject a tenant. The pistol of the assassin missed fire, and Mr. Parker escaped. Only a few days since this Rev. Gentleman subscribed a large sum, 108, to the relief committee of Castletown, as well as to other similar charitable bodies. He is also a subscriber to every charity in the country.—Dublin Packet COLLISION ON THE MERSEY.—The jury in the col lision case, after an absence from court for fiftym i nutes, n it re turned, at half-past five o'clock yesterdaye came by his death er enig , w the following verdict :—" That John opine, but that when, where, and from injuries received and they laid a deodand Geoghan met his deati,:tt accidentally ; h,, The coroner said the amount of 2001. on the Sea /spa , how received, there wasinnheevsidnenesce to show: that Patrick OF EMBEZzLEMENT AGAINST THE LATE CHARON TREASURER or THE BIRMINGHAM Woßallousz of the deodand should be paid within fonrteen days. Tnuasnay.—This morning G. Y. Welch, late treasurer at the Birmingham workhouse, was placed in the dock at the public office, before H. Smith, Esq., mayor, H. Luck cock, Esq., and Pemberton, Esq., charged with embezzling several sums of money while filling the above office at the workhouse. Mr. E. Wright, on the part of the guardians, attended for the prosecution; Mr. Smith for the prisoner. Mr. Wright, in opening the case, said he appeared as solici tor for the guardians of the poor of Birmingham against the prisoner then before them. The prisoner had held the office of treasurer at the workhouse for some length of time, and his father before him filled the same responsible office. Dur ing the whole of the time he was in the service of the guar dians he had not committed himself as to cause them to with draw the confidence they reposed in him until within the last few months. Towards the latter end of last year a change took place in the whole of the management of the work house, and from treasurer to the guardians Mr. Welch was appointed to the office of clerk. On his retiring from office a statement was required of him of all his accounts from michaelmas, and a statement was accordingly sent in, and an investigation took place, when it was found incorrect, and from that and other reasons it was supposed that a sys tem of embezzlement h a d b een carried on for some :wears • by the prisoner The guardians immediately consulted him (Mr. Wright) as the course they ought to pursue, and though painful to them as it was, they felt it their duty to prosecute the prisoner and bring him before the magistrates, and then to take such course as the law pointed out, in justice to them , . selves, the public, and other servants connected with the workhouse. Mr. Wright called two witnesses, who proved two cases against the prisoner, after which he w as r emanded to Monday next. The prisoner's defalcations a r e said to be above 1,060/. liaiGwrox.
