A.er the private bnsinese had been disposed J, same discussion took place upon the remaining reac lutions of Sir G, CLERK with respect to the broad and narrow gauge. The resolutions were ultimately agreed to. - Sir R. PEEL gave notice of hia intention, in the course of the debate on the Protection of Life and Property (Ireland) Bill, to enter into an explanation respecting the charges made against him by Lord GEORGE BENTINCK respecting his conduct in re ference to the Catholic Emancipation Bill, in the years 1825, 1827, and 1829. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice of his intention, in consequence of the length of the debate on the Coercion Bill, on Monday next to move that the existing Sugar Duty be continued for one month, in order to give time for the discussion of the various amendments of which notice had been given. Mr. HUME thought this would be a most desirable course to adopt. The adjourned debate on the Protection of Life and Property (Ireland) Bill was then resumed by Sir A. ARMSTRONG, who, in a most indistinct tone, opposed the Bill. Mr. BENNET thought that after the long delay that had taken place there was no necessity for the measure. He had considered the subject long and anxiously, and he was now convinced that he ought not to support the Bill. Captain LAZARD opposed the Bill. Mr. HENLXY also opposed the Bill. He would not vote for a Bill like this for England, nor could he vote for such a Bill for Ireland. Sir H.W. BARRON opposed the measure, and ex pressed his firm conviction that the Bill woad totally fail in the objects it had in view. All such'measures would of necessity fail until Parliament went to the root of the evil—the poverty and the wretched con dition of the people of Ireland. The measure, if carried, would cause great agitation in Ireland. Captain FITZMAURICE supported the second read ing of the Bill. Mr. HAWES opposed the Bill. Lord FRANCIS EGERTON stlnnal4,A ccuiniu reading of the Dill. On the motion of Mr. S. CRAWFORD, the debate was adjourned till to-morrow.. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House".adjourned. The spirit of antagonism marks every step of the onward movement of the Corn Bill in the Upper House. Whenever a grand illumination is advertised to induce the public to resort to any place of entertainment, the great display of the pyrotechnic art is generally reserved to the last. The Pro tectionist Peers have reversed this order of tactics — all their fireworks were blazed off upon the second reading of the Bill. Lord STANLEY was their "feu de joie." Perhaps they miscalculated the strength of their resources. It is clear they have exhausted themselves ; they have no new materiel at command. If they send up a rocket now and then, it as much as they can do. The battle kept up between the Monopolists and Ministerialists reminds us of what many naturalists and travellers relate of the con tests they have witnessed between certain birds called boobies" and others called " men-of-war frigates." Ile latter waylay the former whilst repairing to their nests with the fish they have caught for their young, and, by repeated blows on their back, compel them to disgorge their predatory spoil, which is never lone without the utterance of a scream. In the same way the advocates of free trade in the Lords have vigilantly pounced upon the Protectionists, ruffled all their feathers, and forced them to drop the produce which they flattered themselves they could steathily hurry on with to their agricultural nests. This, how -..ver, they did not accomplish without having to listen to many a piteous moan. The first bird attacked was the Duke of Bucxuscuam. His Grace knew the strength of his adversary, and resigned his prey at the first blow. Lord STANHOPE, From an ardent regard to his species, got up a fright ful scream, butlall in vain ; thirty-three "men-of-war i'rigates" appeared in the field, and the fish was lost for wer., The Earl of WrcKLow was the next to try to -each his nest. His fish was a "fixed duty." The tame ill-luck attended him. The " frigates" were on the look-out—another fight, another scream, and off flew the " boobies." How many more similar disasters These unfortunate birds may wish to meet, we cannot livine ; but we should recommend them a little repose. The debate upon the fixed duty amendment pre sented nothing new in the shape of argument. The \farquis of CLANRICARDE sought to detract from the sigh opinion justly entertained of the merits of Sir itOBERT PEEL as a Minister, not only in both Houses f Parliament, but by the country at large. We think the Marquis missed his aim. We are ,trictly a practical people, and Sir ROBERT is essen tially a practical man. As such he is eminently quail led to sway the destinies of our great empire, whose commercial interests are so extensive, and at the same • ime so artificially interwoven one with another. The Premier is an apt scholar of the Baconian school. He 'wilds and acts upon experience. The prosperity of :his country would be fearfully hazarded if we were governed by statesmen of a mercurial temperament, who would rashly embrace every plausible theory on Its first promulgation. One precipitate step, in a com plicated state of society like ours, might engulf us in irretrievable ruin. When great changes are sug gested, it is not impolitic on the part of public men in office to resist their rapid adoption, with the view of securing their being sifted in all their bearings in every possible way, till repeated reflection, as well by the represents ;lves as by those they represent, and till, in some instances, experiments upon a small scale having first been successfully tried, shall yield us the strongest presumption that national prosperity will be accele rated by developing the principles recommended. Supposing Sir R. PEEL had years ago (and before he had experimented upon their principles, as he has done by his tariff of 1842, his foreign cattle im portation scheme, his Canada Corn Bill, &c.), had sympathised with the opinions of the League, would he then have had the slightest chance of carrying them through the process of legislation ? Certainly not. Nay, had he been conscientiously convinced long ago of what he is now, and propounded his pre sent measures, the probability is he would not, for years to come, have had the power he now enjoys of effectuating them. The truth flashed out unwittingly From the Marquis of OLLNRICARDE when he said, Every one of Sir H. PEEL'S changes had been with the current of the moment ; and a single instance could not be found on record in which he had changed his opinion in the House of Commons and had been beaten upon that question." This involves no mean compliment. It admits a practical sagacity • which constitutes, a chief desideratum in the mind of a istunhistrioofEwngland. lie contend e d ; t was downright nonsense.

Lord STANLEY has again pressed for an ap peal to the country. His effected ignorance of all constitutional rule is palpable. He would unnecessarily appeal to the passions of the people, when he knows that one of the funda 2iental advantages of a legislature is to pass laws divested of those peAioDs which always injuriously affect the deliberations of the multitude.

The Royal A.,sent was given by Commission to no less than fifty-eight Bills, among which was Viscount HARDINGB'S Annuity Bill, giving power to the East India Company to grant an annuity of 5,0004 to the Noble Viscount, independent of his NEW SM`obildulesents as Governor-General of India. - c;` q -- - 1-7 - Arte - 14he Commission nothing of any particulai agsine before their Lordships. xxx too the Chair shortly _after Four ‘ l 7 ( ' -Li s TIE srw l LOI,TDOII, PIVIDAY rvENTING, JUNE 19 , 1846.: sure. The Commons have passed it by an over. whelming majority. Without one exception, every man of weight and long-tried publiC service, on both sides of the Lower House, swelled the majority. The Lords have already affirmed the principle by a considerable majority; and setting Lords STANLEY and ASEIBITRTON on one side, every Peer of known public influence has voted in favour of the second read ing. The Crown too, we know; is likewise favour able to the measure. Under such circumstances the Protectionists plead for a dissolution ! One word with Lord STANLEY. He observed, upon the division of thirty-three, that it was " small by degrees and beautifully less." This was not honest, and it will not serve to mislead the country. We shall, therefore, repeat what we have before stated. The division on the main question was 47. This number included the "proxies." Deducting the "proxies," it was tauntingly remarked, that Ministers had only a majority of 12 upon the second reading. The division of 33 in Committee was independent of " proxies ;" so that, in point of fact, as far as the Peers present were con cerned, Ministers increased their majority by 21. This must not be lost sight of.. The vessel of free trade is sailing gallantly towards us, and will soon be safely moored. The three remaining resolutions, founded on the recommendations of the Board of Trade, were last night agreed to, after some discussion, in the Howse of Commons. The third resolution appears to be in the nature of an instruction to future Committees of the House in the next sess ion, and an encouragement to persons to undertake the construction of new lines. It is, that in order to complete the general chain of narrow gauge communication from the north of England to the southern coast, and to the port of Bristol, any suitable measures should be promoted to form a narrow gauge link from Gloucester to Bristol, and also from Oxford to Basingstoke, or by any other shorter route connecting the proposed Rugby and Oxford line with the South-Western Railway. This, as we bay'. '-:'' .... .. suggestion _ ........ legislation, and, if adopted here after, it will go far to remove a considerable part of the inconvenience attendant on the break of gauge. It is founded on the recoMmendation of the Gauge Commissioners. There is little doubt that much public benefit would be derived therefrom, and the only question will be for the speculators to say whether the undertakings are likely to be remunerative, and to afford a fair return for the expenditure to be incurred. It is probable that the great narrow gauge companies will assist and become parties to the projects which will doubtless be formed for the purpose of giving effect to the resolution. We have already stated our opinion as to the vast importance of a second continuous line of railway to Ireland, which will be the medium of communication to the entire of the south of Ireland, and, in all probability, to the western hemisphere. This is conclusive as to the point of the construction of the South Wales Railway on the broad gauge, as originally sanctioned by Parliament. Indeed, the House practically adopted it on Tuesday night, in adding to the first resolution the words—" and South Wales Railway," in order that short lines emanating from the South Wales line might be constructed on the broad gauge. This, however, was the only one of the resolutions on which a division was taken, when it was carried by a majority of 53. The last resolution applied to the formation of a double line of rails, thus having the broad and the narrow gauge existing on the same railway. The companies which are called on to effect these double lines have no fair cause of complaint against the additional expense thus entailed upon them. They are purchasers with notice, having undertaken, at the time of obtaining the Acts by which they were incorporated, to lay down such additional lines with all convenient speed, if required so to do by the Board of Trade, in con formity with the report of the Gauge Commissioners. But the question of vast importance in the pre sent instance is —Can the twofold gauge exist with perfect safety on the same line ? Some doubts have existed on this subject, , and it has been said that there would be great diffi- culty and confusion in the working, but we canno conceive it possible that the Board of Trade should have overlooked so obvious a consideration, should have neglected so important an element in the calcu lation. Wa therefore must assume that before they acted on the authority conferred on them, and im posed the additional expense of a second line of rails on the two companies, they must have fully satisfied themselves that there would be no additional danger attendant on such a course, and that the difficulties could not be of an insuperable nature. The question then must be answered in the affirmative, that the broad and narrow gauge may be united without danger. The broad gauge being still retained, there is nothing to prevent the Legislature to compel any future companies which may be formed for the construction of new railways in the neighbourhood of existing broad gauge lines, to lay down a double line of rails. By this means, any further break of gauge may be avoided, and the companies can have no cause of complaint at the increased expense to be occasioned thereby, be cause they will have been acquainted with the ;addi tional outlay rendered necessary before they had ob tained the sanction of Parliament to their projects. A fair opportunity will now be afforded of testing the sys tem; and should it be found to act well, and to be advan • tageous to the public that it should be further extended, a similar power should be reserved to the Board of Trade, in all new projects, of compelling the laying down double rails, should it appear advisable, the Board making a special report to Parliament in every case when about to exercise that power. Of course it will be necessary to have a Bill brought in to give effect to the second resolution, but, from the state.. merit of Sir GEORGE CLERK, it appears that it has not yet been decided whether it shall be a separate Bill, or part of one for the general regulation of rail way a. We yesterday directed the reader's attention to the prevalence of an anxiety amongst the populace to testify their gratitude to such individuals as have ameliorated the condition of the empire, or promoted its prosperity. Our satisfaction upon this particular might have been appropriately coupled with our dis satisfaction upon another—our joy at the spontaneous and graceful tributes offered by the public to its most meritorious members, with our disgust at the deliberate ingratitude or the niggardly recom pense with which these persons are usually rewardel by Government. And here, be it observed, we em ploy the word Government in its most diffuse and generalised signification, as the failing in this respect is attributable alike to a Whig Admi nistration and a Tory Administration, a Con servative as well as a Liberal. There is scarcely in the register of bygone genius an instance to be adduced in which a national benefactor has not in some measure been officially neglected ; in which he has not encountered on the part of those in autho rity the most discouraging indifference ; or, if at length any acknowledgment of his services has been extorted, that acknowledgment has arrived so tardily as to afford him neither solace nor compensation—being expended either in the alleviation of his decrepitude or of his premature prostration, or yet worse, in the e r r e a c u t i if t e e n . o i e s n o e m e e w e e m h e p h t y n l d m a a us l Sir m u G H o f m emblazoned ox, beggaring himself to gratify the palates and to strengthen the constitutions of all future Londoners; hence we find a e g u loo sTr mi e l aTox, in a garret near andH ol born , i spurred . by contumely," personallyperishing ish sl i i n g g hted by that y fribbling statesman, WALPOLE ; hence, also, in our days we discover such d a o n w i n nt u e n ll n e n c t t ie a ed s u t n h d a e t r of the T en u r o rn sive influence o f over - MAS HOOD d w i n dli ng work and disease combined, rewarded by the State only by (that mockery of a re compense !) a pension to his widow ! could continue this mournful catalogue thro ug h many chapters, but the modest worth (when factofoffieialnegleet to genius, or i n genuity, orunaccompanied by the n gYl'ory ofprowess in arms), i s so f ar f rom requiring any d e monstration, that it is b ecome ge one of the prove rbial vices of legislation. Our intention, however , at present is, neither to deal disre gard tohfe the p philanthropist , Pist or the ce of the poet, the utter unsympa thised struggles of th e philosopher —it is simply t o com m e morate another instan ce of gratitude in the people, and of ingratitude in t he Government, towards pne of the foremost of those who are de- 3ifou3 of beholding the practical improve merit of their country and of their ge neration. As if to signalise the displeasure END OF TH 1.; W A of the population at that unaccountaMe act of un graciousness to Mr ROWLAND HILL, by which he CLAMATION OP was offici.illy discharged from any further connexion with the Post-office department, a tribute of money has been collected amongst all classes of the community to the amount of fifteen thou sand pounds, and on Wednesday last that national testimonial was presented, at Blackwall, to the projector of the Penny Postage. Immeasurably disproportioned as is this subscription when compared with the bene fits accruing from the system of communication for which we are indebted to that gentleman, it is never theless gratifying to find the English people coming forward to acknowledge their obligations to his exertions, and by so doing virtually to discountenance the blundering and ungracious pro ceeding of the Post•office authorities. It must be remembered, moreover, that the tribute in this case is not for some probable or specious advantage, not for. any illusory hypothesis of good, not for any pecuniary chimera ; the system has been advanced and adopted, and ever since the really memorable period of its adoption it has redounded more and more to the credit of its origi nator, it has justified his most sanguine predictions, and while proving a source of inestimable advantage to the public, has acted in no wise prejudicially to the Exchequer. Before we can properly estima e the merits of the Penny Postage scheme, we must behold in it a power labouring for our improvement in three separate directions ; the scheme acting beneficently upon our heads, our hearts, and our pockets.

In causing the adoption of this inimitable plan Mr. ROWLAND HILL has-shown himself the promoter of brotherly love amongst his fellow-men, he has aided in the intellectual crusade whose Peter the Hermit was the Society for :he Dif fusion of Useful Knowledge, and he has established a system kindred in all material respects with the spirit of those great commercial measures which are now being sanctioned by Parliament. For achieving all this, Mr. ROWLAND HILL has been ousted from his office in St. Martin's-le-Grand, and been presented with a national testimonial in Lovegrove's Tavern, at Blackwell. Will Government never tire of receiving lessons in justice, in liberality, and in gratitude from the people ? The latest accounts from Rome are of the Bth June ; at that date the city was perfectly tran quil. The Constitutionnel publishes the following account of the last moments of GREGORY XVI. : " On Whit-Sunday the Pontiff determined to have mass said in his chamber, and to take the communion himself. This was opposed, and he was obliged almost to get angry, iu order to have his wish complied with; and if he had not done so, ho would have died without the sacrament. His valet-de-chambre said to him, ' But, Holy Father, you will alarm the whole city; they will say that you are very ill." Certainly,' replied he, I am very ill. I feel it ; and do you want me to appear before God with out having taken the bread of lite? lo voglio morire da frate, non da sacrano.' (I wish to die as a monk, and not as a sovereign). The malady made such rapid progress the following night that the Cardinal Confessor, whose duty it is to assist dying Pontiffs, could not be summoned in time ; it was the assistant-cure of the pontificial palace who galre extreme unction to the Pope, thse cur 4 not having arrived. Gregory XVI. had expired when Cardinal Bianchi, his con fessor, eutered his chamber. The other ecclesiastics, who were summoned according to custom, had only to watch over the mortal remains of their master. The Pope expired in the arms of Cardinal Lambruschini, who had hurried up with all the speed of his horses, and who assisted him in his last moments with the tenderness of a friend and a son." L'Ami de la Religion publishes the following ac• count of the testamentary bequestsof the late POPE:— " Pope Gregory XVI. has made two of his nephews his residuary legatees, and appointed Cardinal Matei his execu tor. The Pontiff has left several legacies to the Propaganda, the convent of St. Gregory, the monks of the Camaldules, and some of ilia household. The fortune which he has left has bee❑ greatly exaggerated. A more just idea of it may be formed when it is considered that the civil list of the popedom does not amount to more than 80,000 f. a year. A rich library, some valuable paintings, jewellery, and works of art, with other property of unimportant amount, form the whole of the inheritance left fur his nephews in the Ve netian States,, instead of the millions at which it has been estimated." A letter from Ostrowo, in Poland, states that on Whit-Monday a number of persons collected in the market-place of Miloslaw, and two of them, with the purpose of creating a disturbance, proceeded to the church, and rang the tocsin, which increased the crowd. The burgomaster not having any troops at his command, and finding himself unable to restore order, sent off to Wreschen for aid, and the next morning a squadron of hussars arrived. Several persons were arrested and removed to Wreschen. Madrid papers of the 6th have been received ; their Portuguese news has been anticipated by the steamer which arrived the day before yesterday, and their contents are utterly devoid of interest. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday' The estimates were passed on Tuesday in the Cham ber of Deputies by a majority of 210 to 27, after an in effectual attempt on the partof the Legitimatist Mem bers to draw out M. GUIZOT on the affairs of Syria. Both Chambers sat on Wednesday, but their proceedings were uninteresting. The Deputies assemble for the last time on Saturday. The Peers will sit a short time longer to dispose of the various Bills sent up to them from the Deputies. "It is on the occasion of the credit of the fetes of July," says the Constitutionnel, "that the Prince DE MOSKOWA is to speak in the Chamber of Peers, rela tive to the incident in the deliberation respecting the verdict upon LECOMTE." The papers contain accounts of the brilliant fetes given at Brussels and Lille on the opening of the Northern Railway. The Princes returned to Paris from Brussels by rail in twelve hours, and the fetes passed off without the slightest accident. The Courier du Havre says that all the American ships in that port hoisted their flags on the arrival of the news of General TAILOR'S victory. It adds : " Our underwriters seem to be so little alarmed by the risk the American ships have to run from the war, that the premiums are tending to fall down to the ordinary rate."

BRITISH AND FOREIGN INSTITUTE.—The last soiree of the season, but one, was held at the Institute last evening, being the eleventh of the year, and was more than usually rich in objects of interest and curiosity, as well as in musical variety. Among the new paintings exhibited were a splendid Raphael, " Christ bearing the Cross;" an exquisite Corregio, "the Holy Fami!y ;" and a fine head of Tazz :a Leonora, by Andrea del Sarto. Considerable interest was exeited by a large silver shrine of llindoo workmanship, repre senting the inner sanctuary of one of the temrles of Vishnu, with the various attendant deities, executed with a skill that was worthy of the silver shrine of Diana at Ephesus. Of the music it may perhaps be sufficient to name the professor s and artistes ho took part in the pieces of the evening. These included Messrs. Kiallmark, Salanien, i l e isa nn e e s ll P e Y , F.

STATUE OF TEE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—Mr. Wyatt, the designer of the gigantic equestrian statue of his Grace the Duke of Wellington, visited Woolwich Dockyard in the early part of the week, to ascertain the best mode, and what aid could be obtained in raising the great weight of material, about forty tons contained in it, to its destined position. The Captain Superintendent Lord J. Hay, C. 11., afforded the talented artist every assistance and fa cility in acquiring the desired information, and it was ul timately arranged that Mr. M'Callum, the boatswain of the dock yard, whose great experience in raising heavy weights on the shears when placing the engines and boiler of steam-vessels into them, should superintend the raising of the statue, the plan he suggested having previously been made upon drawing paper. and sub mitted and approved by the Admiralty. Mr. M'Calluni is now in at each, to hold on the 6-inch cables, London, superintending the raising of the scaffolding, and on its com pletion will raise the statue by means of four powerful crabs; worked by eight men each, at some distance above the arch, with two m f el; lengths of 130 yards. On the statue being elevated to the required on a tram •ity height it will be then moved in a horizontal position materials, "the to its future position, The weight of the men and time of placing it, is calculated to be 60 tons.

Frederick Clinto n, and the Hon. NEW ZEALAND. AND PRO '. EACE. The following important intelhgence is extracted from the Launcetton Examiner of the 28th of February : The " war" is at an end, and a general amnesty has been proclaimed. This intelligence has been received by the Water Lily at Hobart Town. We subjoin a summary, prin cipally from the New Zealander : It appears that on the Ist of January the British forces established themselves in a strong stockade, about 400 yards from the pah of Kawiti, and in which were mounted two 32-pounders, and four small 54-inch mortars. On the 2d, Kawiti made a sortie from his pah, for the purpose of turning the flank of this stockade, and destroying it before it was finished; but Nene and our allies drove them back, killing four and wounding several of the enemy. On Saturday, the 10th, all the batteries being completed, a general fire was commenced for the purpose of effecting a breach, and rockets were likewise discharged, in order to annoy the enemy within the pah. Towards evening three breaches were made. An assault was then contemplated by the commanding-officer, and 200 of the troops were told off to lead the attack. The chief 31obi Tawai remonstrated with the commanding-officer, asserting that it would be sacrificing the lives of brave men to attempt the assault on that evening; and that by continuing the breaching, the object would be accomplished in a few days. The troops were then ordered back to the camp. On the following morning, Sunday, the 11th, about twelve of Nene's natives, with William Waka, his brother, ap proached the breaches to reconnoitre, and not perceiving or hearing any natives within the outer stockades of the pab, they entered, and, as soon as they found they were unop posed, conveyed signal to our forces in the batteries, when the sailers and troops rushed forward into the pab, before Kawiti's natives, who were outside the pah engaged at their karakia (worship), could re-enter. As soon as they ascer tained that they had thus, by negligence, lost possession of their stronghold, they commenced a heavy fire on our troops from the woods, and from the back part of the pah ; but the numerical strength of the European forces and native allies, in addition to the protection afforded by the internal defences of the pah, rendered all attempts unavailing; and in n t o v v o gif s tthoeli pan, oaonul ' l ' V f (TlTge " d: i'a - n - a ` ti;:s";etre n ci - in r t three miles distant, recently erected by Heki (who joined Kawiti) as a place of refuge for Kawiti, in case he should be expelled from Ruapekapeka. The loss of the European forces was 12 killed, and of which number 9 were seaman and marines, and 30 wounded, in clusive of 17 seamen and marines. The native rebels suf fered a loss - of 25 killed, as correctly as it 'could be as certained. Within the pah no ammunition or provisions were found. The former had been diVided among them on Saturday even ing, anticipating the attack; and they had been subsisting on fern root alone for some time previously. His Excellency Governor Grey was present during the whole of the operations, and was eye.-witness to the assault. A proclamation had been issued by the Governor grant ing free pardons to all concerned in the late rebellion, the chiefs having made complete submission by letter, through Tomata Waka Nene. We have received additional accounts from New Zealand 14 days later than the news brought by the Water Lily, from which we learn that a pah, more strongly fortified than that which had been lately stormed and taken by the British forces, had been purposely set on fire and destroyed by Heki, who had resolved to take to the bush, as affording better means of protracting the warfare than fortified places, which, whatever the amount of resistance offered, must eventually tall into the power of disciplined forces provided with artil lery. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY). (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord DENMAN and a Common Jury,) WYLD V. LEAHY AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought by Mr. Wyld, the geographer and engraver, of Charing-cross, to recover the sum of 5161. I9s. 5d., the balance of an account due for preparing and executing the plans and sections of the Great Munster Railway. Mr. Crowder and Mr. Sergeant Allen appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Martin and Mr. Phinn for the defendants. Mr. CROWDER stated the case for the plaintiff, who, he said, was the well-known and highly respectable engraver of Charing-cross; and the object of the action was to recover from the defendants, who were engi neers, residing in Dublin, the sum of 5161. 193. 5d., bein!.; the balance upon an account of 1,2001., incurred for the completion of the plans and sections of the Great Munster Railway. The order was given last summer, and an under standing was come to as to the cost of the work, but from the delays that took place on the part of the defendants in supplying the plans and sections to be engraved, and the fact that the greater portion of them had to be executed within a very short time prior to the 30th of November last year, when the prices paid to operative engravers was enormously high, the expense was much increased be yond the original amount specified. 7001. had been paid on account during the progress of the work, and this the de fendants alleged was quite enough to satisfy the reasonable claims of the plaintiff; and further that the sum he sought to recover was excessive, and a violation of the original understanding come to between the parties. The Learned Gentleman said he would be prepared to show that this de fence was invalid, bothiroin correspondence between the parties, in which Mr. Wyld distinctly intimated that the delays of the defendants throwing the execution of the work near to the 30th of September, would much enhance the expense, and also by witnesses he would call. The work was well ex ecuted—no fault had ever been found with it; and, consi dering the demand forlabour at the time, and the fact of engravers being obliged to work night and day, it was done at a reasonable price. The company had - failed in going forward with their scheme, not from any fault in the plans and sections, but from other causes, and now they sought to lighten themselves of the liabilities they had incurred. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to call his wit nesses. (The case was proceeding when our reporter left.) EXCHEQUEtt.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the Loan CHIEF BARON and Common Juries, at Westminster.) CLARKE V. HENLEY. This was an action brought to recover some uncertain sum of money, less than 571.45. Mr. Bramwell appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Lush for defendant. _ It appeared that the defendant carried on business at Chel tenham, in stationery and other articles of a miscellaneous kind, and that he had had numerous transactions with the plaintiff in this case, who supplied him occasionally with goods, which were sent from Warwick lane to the Bull and Mouth, and forwarded from thence to his address in the country. The correspondence commenced in the year 1840; and, after being interrupted in the two succeeding years, was again renewed in 1843, and has eontinued down to the present time. It was admitted, on the part of the plaintiff, that his books were in such a state as not to show the exact sum which the defendant was in debted to him. Mr. Lusit, for the defendant, put in several post-office orders paid at Cheltenham in favour of the plaintiff; and the defendant being the only correspondent which he had in that town, these orders had of necessity been remitted by the defendant. They amounted together to upwards of 39/, and this sum with a 51. note, which the defendant had paid, and two disputed items of the account being struck out, left no balance which the plsintiff could now claim. The LORD CHIEF BARON said that the case was one which should have been decided by an arbitrator; and it was extremely wrong to consume the public time by ex amining long and confused accounts which, after all, in such a case as the present, could not lead to a satisfactory de cision. The Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict for the defendant. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner GOULRUILN.) IN RE JOHNSON AND MANN. To-day was appointed for declaring a final dividend under the estate of these bankrupts, who were bankers at Romford, and Aldgate, Whitechapel. Mr. BATIIT, of the firm of Bathe and Bingley, appeared to prove for an account for engraving notes, and cheques for the bank. He said that when the failure took place, the bankrupts wrote for the account, but it appeared they had not inserted it in the balance-sheet. The Co3tmissioNEß—How came you to drive it up to the last hour? The fiat was issued two years ago. There has been a dividend of Gs. in the pound, and the present one is to be final.—Mr. BATHE said they had had so many other things. The COMMISSIONER—Such things as these ought not to be driven off. The bankrupts not being present to explain, the Learned COMMISSIONER said- be—could not 'a dmit the proof uncorro borated, nor did he feel disposed to assist persons who left sup i matters to the last, and he must reject the proof. Proof to about 701. was admitted. The dividend will not be more than 210. in the pound, and Will be payable in a few days. SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary Jamas.) DAWES V. FAGG. The plaintiff in this action sued by her next friend to re cover the sum of 51. 55., for services rendered. The de fendant is patentee of carpets, and has a manufactory at Holloway—he denied kis liability. From the facts it appeared that the plaintiff was the grand daughter of one of the workmen in the factory, named Jen nings, who in 1842 introduced her into the place, where she continued for about two years; but, according to Jennings's evidence, he then took her away because he could not get any money, but, one of the foremen sent him a guinea on account ; after seven weeks she went back again, under an agreement to be paid 9s. 6d. a week, which she received up to the time she finally left, in March, 1846. Nothing was then said as to any arrears, and one of defendant's foremen swore that he told Jennings the girl was not there on de fendant's account, but might stay to assist Jennings, and she should be taken on as soon as the patent was in work,_ and she was wanted. She had, however, been occasionally set to light the fire and other little jobs. The SECONDARY said it was a l rul l e law, that when wages ?were paid regularly e l ]aid y down should in p resumption should to the termination of the agreement, however, be that everything had been ee r aidn ' t. ai l i n y d t i h s i t s in e c a t se' hiring, and there did not appear to have been m s d o e n n t t h a s n demanded w ul h d en sin tli ce e probably the guinea spoken of was given by way of gratuity. It was curious that no parties left, an d also settlement m el fifteen it wa have elapsed before law proceedings were brought. The jury whether there bad been any engage would, however, say meat, and what were the value of the services. The jury found for the defendant. Sir Jam" Graham, we hear f rom good authority, wimmediately elevated to the P eerage by the title of Lord Preston. be e. ,, t( ;,. This looks as if his friends are going out of office. Lord Francis Egerton is, we understand, to be elevated to the peerage by the title of Lord Ellesmere. A RCHDEACONRY OF BRISTOL.--The Venerable Arch deacon Thorpe intends holding his next visitation according to the following arrangements :—July 9, at Bristol ; July 10, at Chipping Sodbury ; July 13, at Chippenham; July 14, at Maltambury JttLY 15, at srriutltra; July 16, at clracest4r, CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron RoLFE and Alderman Thomrsox.) PERXRY.—Mr. Bormatx, on the part of bliss Coutts Bur dett, applied to the Court this morning that the amount of hail might be fixed which it would be necessary for Mr. Richard Dunn, described as a member of the Iri , h bar, to give that he would surrender to take his trial on the charge of perjury. We understand that a true bill was found yes terday before the grand jury against Mr. Dunn for perjury, in an affidavit which he fled in the Court of Bankruptcy, swearing that Miss Coutts Burdett, as a partner in the firm of Coutts and Co., owed him the sum of 100,000/ The pro cess, we understand, was entered upon, which in due time would, if unimpeded, have duly ended in Miss Coutts Bur dett finding herself in the Gazette. The COURT ordered Mr. Dunn to enter into his own re cognisances in 1001., and two sureties in 50/. each, to appear at the next sessions. POST- OFFICE.— John Tarnur was placed at the bar on four charges of robbery committed on the Post-office carriages on the South-Eastern and London and Birminghamßailways, and another for robbing the Post-office at Gravesend. The prisoner pleaded Guilty on the first four charges. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, who appeared to prosecute, said that, unwilling to occupy unnecessarily the public time, he would not press the remaining charge. As there is a woman implicated in the same charges, who will be tried next sessions, the Court deferred sentence till the particulars were then laid before it. John Charles Young, described as a chemist, was placed at the bar, indicted for stealing a post letter, containing a half sovereign " and a shilling, the property of the Postmaster- General. Mr. W. Scalthorpe, one of the presidents of the London District Post-office, said, in consequence of some suspicions he posted two letters at the Aldgate receiving -office, one of them directed lo "Mary Donoughue, Mr. Doolan's public-house, Ssckwell-street, Dublin, Ireland," and containing a half sovereign and a shilling, marked. Another of the letters was addressed to "Miss Coventry, North Brixton." If these had been posted at the Aldgate receiving-office before 8 o'clock in the morning of the 20th, they ought to have reached the General Post-office about 25 minutes past 8. Witness was at the General Post-office that morning, and examined the letters sent from the Aldgate receiving -office, and found Miss Coventry's letter on the top of the bundle of paid letters ; to the Irish letter two stamps bad been af fixed, and that letter was not found at all. The bill ac companying the letters should give an account of the stamped letters, and that was found to correspond with the letters sent. The witness, taking with him the letter in spector who posted the two letters, and a constable, went to the Aldgate receiving -office, where he found the prisoner, to whom the witness discovered himself, and said that there was a letter which had not been sent. "Oh yes," he said, " sent it; Miss Coventry's was sent." He was asked what had become of the Dublin letter, which had been dropped into the the marked half-sovereign and shilling, together with the letter, the seal of which was broken, were found upon the prisoner. Other witnesses were called, who confirmed the testimony already given. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clarkson prosecuted, and Mr. Ballan tyne was retained for the defence. A technical point of law was raised on the wording of the indictment, and the circumstances of the case, as compared with the terms of the Act of Parliament. The question raised was, whether the letter in question was a post-letter, in the terms of the Act, the address being fictitious. Baron ROLFE reserved the point for the opinion of the Judges, and directed the jury to find a general verdict against the prisoner of stealing half-a-sovereign, which, ac cording as the Judges decide will be, of stealing from a post letter, or of stealing a half-sovereign, the property of Mr. W. Scalthorpe. The jury found accordingly, and sentence was deferred. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. DIRECT LONDON AND PORTSMOUTH. Gumprorm, CHICOESTEIL, PORTSMOUTH, AND rAnsaraisivr. Their Lordships met this morning, as usual, at eleven o'clock, in Room A (New Houses of Parliament). Lord Beaumont in the chair. All the Members attended. Mr. ALEXANDER then addres4ed the Committee on the part of the landowners petitioning against the Bill. Mr. Cubitt was recalled, and examined by Mr. TALBOT, as to the practicability of ajunction between the proposed line and the London and Epsom, which he said could be made within the limits of devia tion of the plans of last session, but not within the limits of the plans of this session. The reason why the junction was not practicable was, that the levels of the two lines would be different. It would be practicable to hoist the goods, &c., from one line to the other. Ile was not aware of any difference in the levels until his attention was drawn to It by the evidence of Mr. Lock. Mr. COCKBURN then proceeded to address the Committee on the part of the Guildford and Chichester. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP XVII. MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON. The Committee met this morning at the usual hour, the Hen. E Yorke in the chair. _ _ Mr. HATHERTON commenced the opposition of the South-Western to this project by calling Mr. J. Houghton, fanning about 347 acres of land, at Broom-hall, Sunninghill, Berks, about seven miles from the Woking station of the Great Western. Ile said sheep did not go in great quantities from Weyhill and other fairs to the north, their course being from east to west and vice versa. Driving sheep was preferable to sending them by railway, and if the railway were made, he did not think it would be used for their transmission. He did not use the Great Western for this purpose on account of his objection to sending them by rallwa . Driving did not injure them, in fact. Sand obtained trom the Isle of Wight. he considered, would not be conveyed to the north by the proposed line as the least expensive mode would be by Gloucester. The Casa/mute inquired of the witness, if a gentleman carrying on business in the Potteries had stated that he should save several hundreds in the course of a year by having sand transmitted to him from the Isle of Wight by the proposed line, whether he should con sider him a madman or a lunatic? The witness said if lie had stated this, he should certainly consider him out of his senses. GROUP XXXI. This Committee re-assembled this morning at the usual hour; and alter considerable time occupied in consultation, the subject of which was kept private, the room was ordered to be cleared. GROUP XXXIII. The Committee on ties group met to-day at twelve o'clock, in Room 24. Present, Sir Robert Ferguson, the Marquis of Worcester, Viscount Newry, Mr. Smollett, and Mr. Fellowes. They resumed the consideration of the Warwickshire and London Railway (three branches), namely— WOUCESTSE. AND NV E EDON, LIMPTON AND ASHCHITSLCH, HAMPTON AND 1311.211 BURY. According to the understanding come to yesterday, the engineering evidence was proceeded with at the sitting of the Committee. 31r. Robert Stephenson, the engineer of the line, was examined in minute detail, by Mr. AUSTIN, Q.C., for the promoters. He stated generally that the objects of the line were to give railway accom modation to every important town in the district, of which Norwich might be considered the focus, and which might be described as lying between the Great Western Railway and Birmingham. The proposed railway would not only give local connexion, but a thorough connexion in every direction through the several trunk lines already existing or sanctioned. The three lines were connected with each other, and were also under one management. The engineering character of the lines was favourable. There was but one difficult gradient, and, on the whole, he considered them the best that could be formed in the country included between Weedou, Banbury, Worcester, Birmingham, and Rugby, with Warwick and Leamington in the centre. The examination of this gentleman occupied the whole of the morning. GROUP XLII. LIVERPOOL, ORMSRIRX, AND PR,ESTON, The Committee re-assembled this morning at the usual hour. The business was commenced by The examination of Mr. M'Phee, the engineer, who was partly examined yesterday. It was concluded this morning. It was to the effect that there were no engineering difficulties, the gradients favourable, and the estimates fully sufficient to carry out the con struction and working of the line. Another witness was examined as to the value of the land through which the line would pass. It was proved that the sum put down in the estimates was fully sufficient to remunerate the owners of the land for any damage that might be caused by the passing of the line. Mr. Errington, the engineer, was then called, and examined at considerable length in support of the engineering capabilities of the line. He supported the evidence of Mr. M`Phee in every particular as to the practicability and usefulness of the line. GROUP XLVI. NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE BR.A.NCR. The Committee appointed to consider the merits of this line met to-day at twelve o'clock, in Room No. 13. The Committee were occupied during the whole day in the consi deration of the clauses of this Bill. GROUP LIII. The Select Committee appointed to inquire into this Group of Railway Bills re assembled this morning, pursuant to adjournment, in Boom 2G (Grand Corridor) ; present, the Hon. E. Lascelles (in the chair), the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, Mr. Llildyard, Mr. R. Clay ton, and Captain Dalrymple. SHREW'SBUILY AND nntmrNanam. Mr. CoatLETT opposed the line on behalf of certain landowners through whose property this project would pass. Mr. Thorney - croft was one of the principal of the petitioners. He intended, if the preamble were passed, to object to the clauses, but he hoped that the preamble would not be declared by the Committee to be proved. The works of Messrs. ilatherton, Henderson, Hyde, and Clarke, awl Joseph Mellor, of Wolverhampton, would be destroyed if the Bill were passed. There was another line, which would come before the consideration of the Committee, which would afford his clients much better accommoda tion than the Shrewsbury and Birmingham, and which would not at all injure their works. Ile therefore hoped that the Committee would pause well before they passed the preamble of this Bill. In endeavouring to accommodate some parties, the promoters of this Bill proposed to injure the interests of others in a manner that Par liament could net sanction. Ile did not oppose the scheme merely on the old narrow ground that it was a railway. The peti tioners on the contrary, believed that a railway would be of infinite benefit to them, but they begged to repre sent that there was another scheme which would afford equal and even better accommodation, without inflicting the same Injury on private property. The Learned Counsel then explained by the aid of a wooden model which lay on the table before the Com mittee, the manner in which this line would injure the property of his clients. It this line were formed, it would divide his extensive works, which would render them less valuable. It would also cause the Horsley-fields-road to be raised on a high embankment, which would have the effect of forming a complete barrier to the access to Mr. Thorneycroft's works on the most extensive side. Further ot than Itthis, the promoters of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham re had n In obtained the consent of the trustees of that road to interfcns_ with It the manner proposed. The trustees of the road were _ eg w aL: b 7;: nig ht, temptated alteration of the road, which wo uld be raised Inconvenience to the public.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was not much demand for Cotton at Liverpool yes terday. Sales about 4,000 bales, at previous rates. Shares were dull. There are numerous letters in town this morning from all the West India Islands, brought by the Forth steame r, and their contents are in full confirmation of the statements made in the journals of the Colonies, as to the continued ex istence of severe and long -continued droughts. The sugar plantations had been damaged in consequence to a great ex tent in all quarters. Still we are led to the conclusion, , from some of the letters that have reached U 3, that the injury already done has been very greatly exaggerated , and to such a truly " protectionist" purpose, namely, a sort of ruse to be made use of when the Sugar Duties Bill is dis cussed, with the presumed intention of a section of the Legis lature to relax, if possible, the duty upon free grown sugars, and to show that, great as are the ills to which the planters are subjected by reason of un certain seasons, there may be a strong ground taken up, why Parliament should not by relaxation of dutiess.com pel the West India proprietors to accept other changes, the result of which they assert with earnestness, " they knoW not of." The statements of the Chancellor f the Each°. quer last night in the House of Commons, that he would ask the continuance of the present duties for a month after the expiry of the present law, is not thought much Of here. as the intention evidently is to give breathing time after , the Irish Life Preservation Bill has been advanced or rejected, for a fair debate upon the Sugar question, now yearly becoming of more and more mercantile importance; At Demerara, there had been further arrivals of Coolies, and the reports state that they did their field work very welt in deed, especially where the lighter duties of the were required. There are no later accounts by the Forth steamer from Mexico. In the Consol Market the changes have been slight to day, and business very limited indeed. The quotations looked bee rather heavy, Consols for the opening having same done at 95 ;the the Three-per Cents. Reduced, at the same value, while the Three-and-a-Quarter-per. Cents. dropped from 97 to 964. A very low figure has been marked for plantation chequer-bills—say Bs. The last price yesterday was I°D ,_ premium. It is said that there have been many sales son account of the Bank of England and the Accountan t-General. Bank Stock advanced about 1 per cent. PoArtucrue'isdee B r all d e t amount y of t business tri ea fr has o been 5 O dr e a " h i oz n n h ,t e a downward tendency as compared with Yeater'" t prices.
