This was an action by Mr. Wyld, the map-seller of Charing-cross, against the defendant, in his capacity as a provisional director of the Peterborough and Nottingham Railway Company. Mr. Martin and Mr. Willis were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Hoggins and Mr.Fitzherbert for the defendant. The case on behalf of the plaintiff was substantially similar to that tried a few days since in this court, in which the pre sent plaintiff recovered a verdict against a Mr. Douglas Hopkins for 7011. 3s. 9d., the precise sum claimed in the present action, and which sum was the balance of a debt of 1,9501. for work done by the plaintiff in engraving plans, sections, and maps, for the proposed company. It now appeared, upon the examination of Mr. Gridley, the solicitor tier the company, that the defendant had under taken, in his character of a provisional committeeman, to take 100 shares, but that he had not paid any deposit on the shares, and that this action was brought by Mr. Wyld, at the instance of the managing committee, to compel the defendant to pay his proportion of the expenses of the company. The witness stated, on cross-examination, that the gross expenses of the company amounted to about 11,0001., that the plaintiff had received about 1,0001. out of his bill, and that witness. for his professional services, was entitled to a sum of about 1,5001. There was at pre sent a sum of between 6,000/. and 7,0001. at the com pany's bankers, in the name of the :managing directors. The amount required to be deposited by the standing orders of Parliament was not paid in by the allottees, which was the only reason why the project had not been proceeded with. From 20 to 30 actions had been brought by Mr. Wyld against provisional directors who had not paid th e ir share of the ex penses. Eight or ten of those actions had been settled with out trial on the defendants paying 2101. each, or the deposit on 100 shares. The sum so paid did not go into the pocket of the plaintiff', but was paid over by his solicitors, Messrs. Lawrence and Plewes, to the account of the managing directors, and went to increase the general funds of the com pany. The present defendant was informed that if he paid 200 guineas the action would be discontinued, and he should be relieved from further responsibility, but he declined doing so. Under these circumstances it was contended, on behalf of the defendant, that Mr. Wyld's debt was already paid, and that the object of this action was not to reimburse him, but to put money into the pockets of the managing committee by making the defendant a victim. vinisg T ios h no e am C l i da t ni i r E ye F cat ß cotr a iso ao nws N asin e a x tu r ae e b s nuse s a ed moe a f strong opinion, that Wyldbring otfheMpriocs of g t a h i e n st Court. pro- If Mr. Wyld had received the money paid on the settlement of those eight or ten actions, which had been settled for 200 guineas each, his balance was paid twice over. If Mr. Wyld did not receive the money on the settlement •of the actions, then it was clear that his name was merely used, and that the present action, like others, was the action of the managing directors, and not of Mr. Wyld. If the jury thought this, he considered they would be justified in finding a ver dict for the plaintiff, on the plea of payment, with nominal damages. If the ury' thought the defendant had not become liable as a provisional committeeman, they might find for the defendant. ' The foreman of the jury stated, after a short consultation with his fellows, that the jury were unanimously of opinion that the defendant was liable as a provisional committee man ; but, upon the plea of payment, they found for the plaintiff, with only ls. damages. The CHIEF BARON observed, that there was no reason to suppose that Mr. Douglas Hopkins, against whom a verdict was taken three or four days ago, for 7611., was not a solvent person ; if so, Mr. Wyld would receive from him every shilling due to him. Mr. Mmant said, it was expressly stated that the judg ment would only bd enforced against Mr. Hopkins for his quott. Lord and Lady Hatherton left Farranee's Hotel, Upper Belgrave-street, yesterday, for Teddesley, Staf fordshire. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 11, 1846. HAMBURGH and FLANDERS MAIL BRUSSELS, JULY 7.—The average price of wheat in the week ending on Saturday, the 4th of July, was 99f. 99c., and of Rye 15f. 69c. per hectolitre. Mademoiselle Rachel, who has had so sudden and violent an attack of sporadic cholera, is much better to day, and there is every reason to hope that her conva lescence will be speedy if no accident intervenes. The Chamber of Representatives heard to-day some explanation of the Government respecting the treaty concluded between Belgium and Holland. The Chamber passed supplementary votes of credit for the departments of the interior, foreign affairs, and finance, then the project of law relative to the iron rail way from Havre to Manage, which, after some remarks from M. Rogier, to which the Minister of Foreign Affairs replied, was unanimously agreed to by the 51 members present. The Chamber then adjourned till the President sum mons the Members, which he will du when the Government is ready to lay before the Chamber the treaty with Hol land. M. Mercier arrived from the Hague this morning, but he has not brought the treaty with the Netherlands which was confidently expected. The treaty is so far complete, that the three Dutch and two Belgian nego tiators have signed it. The King of the Netherlands has been informed day by day of the process of the ne gotiators. It must not be supposed, that the want of the Royal signature can leave the work long incomplete. Our correspondent at the Hague informs us, not only that our negotiators have signed it, but that the King. who intended to spend a fortnight in visiting two of his provinces, wrote to the governor of the province of Gronningen, before he left the Hague, that being ob liged to return to the Hague by Thursday next, he must put off his journey to that province for some clays. Thus on Thursday the King of the Netherlands will be back at the Hague ; he will preside in the council of Minis ters, and there is every reason to believe that the for mality of signing the treaty will immediately follow. The King, who was expected yesterday evening, will stop some days longer at Ardenne. CRACOW, JUNE 25.—Mr. Wenda, a landowner, who was given up by the Russian authorities, and who, in the late insurrection at Cracow, had the rank of lieu tenant, was given up to the Russians. A few days ago his sentence was carried into execution, viz. to stand for two hours in the pillory at Radon, and then to be ban ished to Silesia. BREMER, JULY 4.—The Rhenish Observer has a no tice from Berlin, dated June 18, that the Bremen and Weser Gazette are prohibited in the whole of the Rus sian monarchy. WARSAW, JUNE 28.—Our journals contain to-day the names of those persons (eighteen in number), all whose real and personal property is confiscated, accord. ing to the sentence of a court-martial, confirmed by the Prince Governor, for having taken a part in the late insurrection. They are chiefly young, between twenty and thirty years of age ; the oldest of them is the priest Sciegiennes, who is forty-five years old. The list dues not contain the names of all those on whom sentence has been passed. There are, besides, many others in the citadel whose sentence will be pub lished in the sequel. It is not to be supposed that the confiscation of the property of these persons is the whole of their punishment. They are all banished—partly to the mines of Ural, partly to Siberia. COPENHAGEN, JULY 3.—On the 2d his Majesty pre sided in an extraordinary Council of States, in which it is affirmed a matter of great importance was di-cussed. JULY 4.—For many years past we have not seen so many ships of war in our road as at this moment. Be sides the Gesion and Flora, we have the Swedish and Norwegian squadron of twelve ships, of various sizes, which have fired salutes in honour of the King's birth day. The two Russian men-of-war which were in our road sailed to-day. BERLIN, JULY 4.—The last accounts from the pro vinces of Posen, say that the consequences of the late attempted insurrection begin to be severely felt in that province. Among those consequences are the sales by auction, and the sequestration of so many' estates, and the very unfavourable result of the Midsuinm-r fair. This evening we expect our monarch, etho King of Saxony, and Prince Frederick of the Netherlands, from their excursion to the Isle of Rugen. The friends and proclaimers of the Constitution now announce another day for the proclamation of a Consti tution for the Russian Monarchy, namely, the 3d of August, the birth-day of the late King—according to them, the birth-day of the new order of things. We shall see how far these professions will be fulfilled. HORRIBLE CRUELTY IN AI A DA GASCAIt. The Democratic Pacifigue publishes a long extract from a letter, giving a horrible account of the atrocities committed at Madagascar by thr Hovas upon an English soldier, whom they had captured. After describing a feast by the Hovas' chiefs at the establMiment of a French traiteur, who, with another traiteur of the same na tion, aro stated to have exulted in the victory of the Hovas over the British and French expedition against Madagas car, and giving an account of the disgusting mutilations of the bodies of the slain, the writer says: —" Whilst this debauch was going on (two days after our defeat) word was brought that an Englishman had just come out of the brushwood, imploring that his life might be spared. It appears that during the fi,ht an unfortunate wounded English soldier had crept into the bushes, and remained concealed, a melancholy witness of the mutilations inflicted upon his com rades. For forty-eight hours he bore the pangs of his wound and of hunger and thirst, but, being unable to bear up longer, he came from his hiding-place, and, advancing towards the Ilovas, showed his wound, delivered up his musket, and entreated them to give him a little water. The chief, Massouma, without derang ing himself from the banquet, sent t'.) the governor for orders. Razakafidy, the governor, desired that the man might be put to death. There were at his table several Frenchmen, who did not even open their mouths to ask for the life of this poor Englishman, who had bravely fought by the side of our countrymen. You will, think, perhaps, that this unfortunate man was killed with a stroke of the sagaye. The Hovas have a different mode of taking vengeance on a disarmed enemy. They stripped him naked, and then five or six officers, with their knives, and in the midst of the circle which had be,n formed, began pricking him in the tenderest parts of his body. The soldier, who was extended on the ground, rose, as by an effort of heroism, and received their thrusts standing. At this time there were not less than five or six bleeding wounds of the sagaye which he had received in battle, and the blood streamed contempt a r o o en m et e was m t the t newo for a wounds l lhivid id aulinflictedteceesrss:. but 3 T h e iit wore assailants. wiooea as:o u air of s ile these horrors were proceeding, set up s f triumph. Seeing that the Englishman defied their blows, the monsters laid hold of him and began to tear out the nails of his hands and feet. Ho bore even this bravely for a time, but at length sunk to the ground exhausted and closed his eyes. The Hovas then cut off his, fingers and different portions of his flesh, after...which they proceeded to the last and most cruel operation. Havtng_ . dOrt© this they stabbed him in the heart and cut. off his head. .Finally, they put into their mouths portions of the flesh, removed by the horrible operation which preceded the coup de grace, and went off triumphantly to fix the head on a stake." • IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, July 10. ~.„ Their Lordships met at Five o'clock. *** Messengers from the Commons brought up a large number of railway and other Bills, which were severally read a first time. The Duke of RICHMOND e tition from b the 1 presented a p scripholders of the Yorkshire and Glasgow Union Railway against the further progress of the Bill. Lord DENMAN presen ted a petition from a place in the county of Down, praying for the abolition of capital punish ments. BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION RAILWAY The Earl of CLARENDON laid upon the table of the House a minute of the Board of Trade on the subject of this Bill, and moved that it be printed, and referred to the Com• mittee on the Bill. • • ' is were then advanced a stage, and the House -'• it it ; t '• AY COMMITTEES -ir " (YETERDAY ). HOUSE OF LORDS. Room B. OAT.RDONIAN (GLASGOW TERMINI AND BRAN CBES). (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. John Miller, engineer of the Great North British Railway, in his evidence said that the ground at Shiels• bridge was already pre-occupied by the General Terminus Company, whose Bill had been granted, so that the arrange ment come to by the Caledonian Company before the Com mons' Committee, to carry back their junction with the Ayr Railway to near that bridge, could not be constructed without- diverting the Paisley canal beyond the limit of the deviations which this Bill gives them power to do. That, assuming the Caledonian got this proposed terminus in the City, their mode of carrying along the through traffic would necessitate a break of the train; that part of it might be carried along Bridge-street by another engine, or they must give up the Bridge-street branch altogether. Mr. M. considered that the whole scheme was such as the engineer would not now, under the altered circuinstances, propose to lay down. Cross-examined by Mr. HOPE—There were altogetherlos feat within the limit of deviation and the canal, and four sets 'of rails could be laid down in 53 feet ; but not so if these sets of rails belonged to different lines, and much less if they were on different levels, as was the case here, for the canal, the Caledonian, the General Terminus, and the joint line, would give four different levels. Mr. ANDREWS, Q.C., produced three letters of the 6th, Bth, and 28th of May last, to Lord Worsley, Chairman of the Commons Committee from the Admiralty, the last of which was accompanied with a report from Captains Bethune and Denison, unfavourable to any crossing of the river Clyde, as proposed by the Caledonian Company, south of the Stockwell bridge. The Admiralty agreed in this report, but their letter of the 28th of May reached the Chairman of the Com mons Committee a day after the preamble of the Bill for the Caledonian liine was passed. Lord Belhaven having been called, said he was well ac quainted with Glasgow and the lines south and north of the Clyde. He considered it very important that a junction be tween these should be effected, which would necessitate a crossing of the river, but he thought one crossing, and one only, should be allowed. Mr. AUSTIN, Q.C., proposed to call Mr. Walk er, with a view to lay before the Committee a full statement of all the circumstances under which the report from the Commis sioners of the Admiralty had been drawn up, which, he ex pected to show, was not a final decision. Mr. ANsauvis objected to Mr. Walker being allowed to give evidence, as the case for the promoters was closed. The room was ordered to be cleared. Parties, on being re-admitted, were told that the Committee would call Mr. Walker. Mr. Walker, examined by the CHAIRMAN, said he had been sent down by the Admiralty to examine this very cross ing, and he made his report on the 12th of March. He understood that another company was to cross at the same place. He believed that Captains Bethune and Denison were sent down about the formation of the docks near Glasgow. He said he had stated in his report to the Admiralty that if a great public good were to be gained, the obstruction would be very small to the river. The Committee refused to hear Mr. Walker's report, the one on their Lordships' table being later. He said he was con sulting engineer to the Clyde trustees. Mr. ANDItzWs then addressed the Committee against the Bill, on the part of the Glasgow and Ayr Rail way, the city of Glasgow, and the town of Gorbals, and individual proprietors, contending that the approach to Glasgow, and through it, should be confined to one great general scheme, which would effect a junction with the lines north and south of the Clyde without exposing the city and private property to be cut up by rival and independent companies. 31r. Andrews, in commenting on the evi dence, cautioned their Lordships as to the testimony given by Mr. Walker, who admitted that he was consulting en gineer to the Clyde trustees, the Chairman of which was called to give evidence in favour of the Caledonian line. Mr. MOXTAGUE Small addressed the Committee on be half of the heritors of Gorbals against the Bill, and called witnesses to show that damage would be sustained by the Gorbals parish church, situated within 30 feet of the -Cale conian proposed line, at the corner of Carlton-terrace and Buchan-street. The Committee then adjourned till eleven to-morrow. ROOM :C. The Chairman (the Earl of Radnor) and the other mem bers of the Committee assembled in this room to-day. MANCfI $T 7t, SIIMINVIELD, AND MID LANDS JUNCTION. The evidence in support of this Bill was resumed. Mr. Henry Rangeley was examined, and stated that he was an extensive coal-owner, and observed that coal could be sent to Sheffield at a very low rate. Mr. 'lmams, who appeared for the landowners' opposition, here took an objection to the Bill in toto, on the ground that when considered in the Committee of the house of Commons, it had a Bakewell branch, and that it was on the express un derstanding of the convenience to be afforded by that branch that the Commons' Committee had passed the project. At this point the room was cleared, after a reply from Mr. Talbot, and on the re-admission of parties, The CHAIRMAN declared that the objection could not be entertained. Mr. Butcher, Master of the Cutlers' Company at Sheffield, and his brother, the present Mayor, testified to the general advantages of the railway. Mr. Nall, a dealer in cattle at Chesterfield, stated that his purchases and sales of sheep amounted to between 300 and 400 sheep a week, but his dealings in beasts were small. The cost of conveyance to Manchester was 15s. a ton, the distance being 42 miles. Mr. Burkitt, a brown pottery manufacturer and a maltser at Chesterfield, stated that the quantity of goods sent to Manchester from his neighbourhood was 2,420 tons of earthenware, besides molt. His own produce was about 720 tons. If this railway were made, the cost would not be more than ss. Mr. Hervey, a magistrate of Holmfirth, near Leeds, stated that the population of the township was about 16,412, and of the district 26,344. The witness stated the quantity of wool brought to the township, and that as many as 80,000 pieces of cloth were manufactured within the precincts. The district around Holmfirth is chiefly peat, and would be much benefited by the introduction of lime. To Mr. CALVERT'S cross-examination, the witness replied that the limestone chiefly used was the Crick and the Bake well lime, which would come by the proposed line. The manufactured pieces were in the first place sent in the rough state to Huddersfield, where they were dressed and made ready for " daylight." At present they obtained their soap and oil from Liverpool and London, and one of the great objects of the people of Holmfirth was to get as short a corn raunication with London as possible. To Mr. Hops the witness replied that the inhabitants in his district were anxious to obtain the mountain limestone, in preference to all other kinds. Mr. TALBOT on re-examination, ascertained that the chief object was to get the nearest route to London, and that the line from Chesterfield to Sheffield was much desired by them. Mr. Tomlinson, wood steward to the Duke of Rutland on his Derbyshire estates, stated that he had heard of the aban donment of the Bakewell branch some time since. The pro perty lies chiefly in and near Bakewell, within the neigh - bourhood of the line. The quantity of timber annually sent to Sheffield was about 12,000 feet, exclusive of underwood, for which this railway would afford great facilities. On cross-examination, the witness stated that the quantity he bad named was wood from the Barlow property, and did not at all include the Bakewell estate. Mr. Mills, agent of Mr. Arkwright, of Sutton, and also occa sionally engaged by the Dukes of Rutland and Devonshire, stated that he knew Brierly Wood very well. It is the pro perty of the last-named nobleman, and that there was an annual fall of copse wood and timber to the extent of from fifteen to twenty acres. The formation of the Sheffield and Chesterfield line would materially improve the value of his Grace's property, and would give great facilities to the trade of Sheffield. The road at present is hilly and heavy, and Ile believed that although there was A - probability of advantage by the Sheffiield and Lincoln shire line, and there were already advantages existing by the Rotherham and Sheffield Railway, yet that, in his mind, in no way obviated the necessity for the formation of this line. To Mr. CALVERT'S cross-examination the witness replied that he did not conceive a tramway to be of any use what ever, and he thought that the formation of needless railways, or, at least, of those not imperatively required, would be a waste of public property. To Mr. Paoxr, the witness replied that the Bierly woods are directly south of Hunstone, and was aware that there was a group of railways already in existence, but they would not serve the purpose of transporting this timber. To Mr. TALecres re-examination—The witness replied that be considered the formation of this line of the utmost import ance in every point of view. The Committee here adjourned till to-morrow. SE OF COMMONS. GROUP XVII. 11MANCIIIESTRIL AND EIOUTICASTIPTON. The Committee were occupied the whole of the day with clauses of interest only to the pailies. A number of clauses were prOposed on the part of the South Western by Mr. Hope and Mr. Bircham, the solicitor for the South Western, but as many of them proposed to give arbitrary powers to that Company over the Manchester and Southampton, they were materially modified by the Committee. Mr. Sergeant Wrangham, Mr. Edwin James, and Mr. Cripps, appeared on behalf of the Manchester and South ampton Company. The remaiMer of the clauses, with various alterations, • baying bit& completed, Mr.44igeant Waa:jditAV applied : oinjitee to in sert a recommendationln their re. e use, to the effect that as the progress of the *.l greatly de layed, from its introduction into Parlfam early in the ses sion to its coming before the Committee, was desirable that it should receive the sanction of th Legislature this session, and that it should be remitted to the House of Lords with out unnecessary delay. The CFI/411MAX said, the Committee in their report would simply state the facts, which would no doubt meet the views of the promoters. The Committee then separated. Their decision will be ',ported to the House on Tuesday. HO' STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEE. HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships met at the usual hour, Lord Shaftesbury in the chair, and present Lords Redesdale and Hawarden. ISHREWSBURY, OSWESTRy, AND CHESTER JUNC TION (CRICKHEATH AND WENN LINES).

MARSHALL, Chief Cashier. Dated the 9th day of July, 1816, ASSIZE INTEL GENCE. HOME , CIRCUIT, II erqford, July 10. (Before Mr. Justice et-..-.ILTMAN). George Pallett, aged 4S, was ccapitally indicted for feloniously cutting and wound, tn Mary Ann Pallett, his wife, with intent to murder Ler. In other counts, the intent of the prisoner was laid to be to maim and disable, or to do, previous bodily harm. Mr. Rodwell prosecuted; Mr.- Marsh defended the pri soner. The prosecutrix, who appear red to be very weak from the effects of the injury she h:sd received, deposed that the prisoner was her husband, Ir.nd they resided at Great Munden, where they kept a baker's and general shop. On Thursday morning, the 25th of June, they were sitting at breakfast together, when the prisoner asked her whether she intended to bake on the next day or Saturday, and she replied that it would depend upon when she could get some good yeast. The prisoner then told her she had better bake the next day, for she would not be alive on Saturday. She replied that she supposed her time was God's, unless he intended to murder her. He then said, that there were two persons he should like to be the death of, her, and her brother, The prisoner then went out and did not retnrn till between ten and eleven o'clock, and she then saw him go into a shed and get a bill-hook, and he commenced sharpening it. Nothing took place between them after this until one o'clock, when she was engaged in the shop serving a customer, and the prisoner came in with the bill-hook in his hand. He then, without saying a word, threw some dour in her face, and upon the customer saying that he nlight have thrown the flour in her eyes, the prisoner, with an oath, said that she ought to have her eyes pet out for wasting his flour. A few minutes after this, she was in the act of scraping up the flour at the bottom of a bin, and while she was in a stooping position, with her head partly on the bin, she received a blow from the bill• hook on her neck, which rendered her instantly insensible, and she fell to the ground, and knew nothing of what happened afterwards. In cross-examination, the prosecutor said that they had been married 22 years, and some years ago the prisoner was attacked with erysipelas, and went out of his mind, and continued in that state for several weeks, during which time he was under restraint, She also said, that a few months ago he had a similar attack, but as it was not so bad as the former one, he was allowed to remain in his own house. He was in the habit of drinking to excess, and while in that state, was very violent, and she had at times heard him talk very inco herently. Upon another occasion, the prisoner had attacked her with a carving knife, and she was forced to run out of the house to save her life. He was quite sober when he told her she would n)t live till Saturday, and he said it quite quietly. They had not had any quarrel on the day in question, and although she saw the bill-hook in his hand, she bad not the slightest idea that he intended to strike her with it until she felt the blow. Some other witnesses were examined, and from their evidence it appeared, that after the occurrence the pri soner had walked deliberately out into the village, with the bloody weapon in his hand, and stated to se veral persons what he had done. Mr. MARSH, on behalf of the prisoner, addressed the jury at considerable length, contending that the circum stance of itself, and the other evidence as to the former state of the accused, left no doubt that he was an irre sponsible agent, and that he ought to be acquitted on that ground. Mr. Justice COLTMAN having summed up, the jury, after deliberating for more than an hour, returned a verdict of Not Guilty, on the ground of insanity. SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTIONS. GRAND ENTERTAINMENT BY THE LORD MAYOR TO THE PRESIDENTS OF THE SCI- I!',N I IFIC AND LITERARY INSTITUTIONS, &c. Yesterday the Lord Mayor gave a splendid enter tainment to the Presidents of the royal, and other distin guished scientific and literary institutions, at the Man sion-house.

The banquet, which was extremely recherche, was supplied by Messrs. Ring and Brymer, of Cornhill. Mr. Harker officiated as toastmaster, and gave the esta blished civic toast of " The Loving Cup," and the other toasts of the programme, in his usual able and impres sive style. The following comprised the bill of fare: — Turtle and iced punch. Salmon, turbot, fried fish, &c. Side Board—Petit pates, chickens, capons, turkey poults, larded ; hams and tongues, ornamented ; ribs lamb, raised ornamented pies, lobster salads, prawns, Chantilly baskets, ornamented trifles, Nopeau and Maras chino jellies, pine, strawberry, and Italian creams ; Genvoise pastry, Swiss and Venice marangs, Chantilly, tartelets, creamed tarts, Nesselrode puddings, &c.

Dessert—Pines, hothouse grapes, peaches, strawber ries, cherries, oranges, dried fruits, Savoy and almond cakes, mixed cakes, brandy cherries, preserved ginger. The following toasts were then given from the chair, and responded to with all the honours:—" Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria," " the Queen Dow ager," " Prince Albert, Albert Prince of Wales, and the Royal Family." The LORD MAYOR then gave, Bishop of Norwich, and the clergy." The Bishop of NORWICH returned thanks for the coin , pliment paid to him in having his name coupled with that of the Established Church. He hoped and trusted and believed that the Established Church, supported as it was by the loyalty and increasing zeal of the clergy, was rising day by day in the estimation of the country; and so long as she did her duty, she would, he felt satis fied, meet with the confidence and esteem of every re spectable man who boasted of the name of a Christian. The LORD MAYOR next gave " The Chevalier Bunsen and the Foreign Ministers." His Excellency the Chevalier BUNSEN returned thanks. He felt greatly honoured at having his health proposed in so illustrious an assembly. He believed he was in debted to it partly from the feelings of attachment and affection evinced by that country towards his royal master, the King of Prussi‘who was second to no other monarch in his estimation of science and literature, as being the brightest ornament's of his throne. He con gratulated the meeting that the first magistrate of the first city of the world had called around him all that was illustrious in that country in science, in art, in literature, and in philosophy. It was the first occasion on which such a reunion had taken place, and he hailed it as an additional acknowledgment of the pre-eminence which was so justly due to their professors and savans. He believed no country in Europe had furnished so many able and illustrious men as England, and he knew of no thing that would contribute more to its advancement and prosperity than the honours thus paid to literature and science.—(Cheers.) LORDmTphtoenand the M tY R ° Soc'ety." The Marquis of NORTRA.MPTON returned thanks. He agreed with his friend the Chevalier Bunsen that the 01 then gave " Th e M a rquis of North present meeting formed a new era in the festive assem blages of the City of London, the chief magistrate hav ing marked distinctly the sense which the City of Lon don entertained of the importance of science and litera ture. He must express his surprise that such an assem blage had not taken place long ago ; and he must only -upp ise that those who had preceded the Lord Mayor in dispensing the civic hospitality had by some accidental circumstance overlooked the matter.—(Hear, hear.) There were few persons who were not aware of the great importance of science and literature in a commercial and trading country like theirs; it was equally important to their navigation that the science of astronomy should be encouraged and promoted, and it was unnecessary to p Ant out the intim • ate c onnexion that existedbetween the various branches of their manufactures and the im provements that were daily t akin g p lac e in mechanics and chemistry.—(Cheers.) In a country whose menu :acturing and commercial greatness was unparalleled, they need not he, therefore, much surpris e d at the tribute paid to literature . g and science. The Noble Mar quis concluded by propolin The health of th e Ri g h t Hon. the Lord Mayor,' which was drunk with great enthusiasm. The LORD MAYOR, in responding to the toast, said that if the Noble Marquis had felt pleasure in proposing the last toast, he (the Lord Mayor) felt equal pleasure and gratification in fin di n g himself surrounded by the distinguished 'company by whom he was this day ho noured. To assemble that company had been a subject which had occupied his mi nd for some mon ths past , and he had only delayed it because he had discovered that the present would be the most convenient period of the year at which to meet. Ho felt additional pleasure that he had been the first who had gathered together the men of literature, of science, and of art. in that hall; and he trusted his successors would not forget the compliment which had been paid him by their company, but that similar invitations given by those who might follow him in the civic chair, would. meet with in. the .same honour as those which on this occasion he had acquired.— (Cheers.) His Lordship concluded by proposing as the next toast, the 6. Royal Society of Literature." The Rev. Mr. 01.4Z10 briefly acknowledged the coin- " The Church, the pliment paid to the learned society, of which he had the honour to be a member. The following toasts were then severally proposed by the LORD MAYOR, and duly honoured by the company :-- "The Royal Astronomical Society" (responded to by Sir John Herschell); " The Royal Geographical Society" (acknowledged by Lord Colchester); " The Royal Geo logical Society," for which the Dean of 'Westminster returned thanks; " The Royal Linnean Society," spoken to by the Bishop of Norwich; " The Royal Society of Antiquarians," for whom Sir Henry Ellis, of the British Museum, returned thanks; and, " The Earl of Auck land and the Royal Asiatic Society," briefly acknow ledged by Dr. Bowring. The toast of " Prosperity to the University of Oxford" followed. Sir R. 11. INCUS, M.P., said that an the part of the members of that University, and of his Hon. Colleague in its representation (Mr. Estcourt) and himself, he had to return thanks for the kindness with uhich the toast had been proposed and received. This was not the first occasion on which under that roof his Lordship and his predecessors had been pleased to pay that honGur to the religion and literature of the country which he believed to be associated most happily and indissolubly with both the universities. It was not necessary in that place that he should remind his Lordship of the munificent assist ance which the City of London had afforded to maintain the ancient literature and religion of the country. In Oxford one of the colleges had been founded exclusively by a munificent predecessor of his Lordship, and there was not a single other college in that university which had not participated in the bounty of some one or more of the wards and companies of this great, wealthy, and important city. It was therefore most fitting upon the partof the representatives of the University to take every opportunity of acknowledging `gratefully and respect fully the benefits which the learning of lingland had de rived from the liberality and boinity of the citizens of London.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR next proposed, "Prosperity to the University of Carrioridge," and coupled with it the names of the Right T rion. Henry Goulburn, and the Hon. the Recorder. Mr. GOTILBURN returned thanks on behalf of the University, and of his learned colleague and himself. It was most difficult for him to follow adequately the speech of his Hon. Friend near him (sir R. H. Inghs); but he could repeat, with regard to Cambridge and the City of London, all that had been stated by his Hon. Friend with reference to the University of Oxford.—(Hear.) The subjoined list of toasts was then gone through with all the honours. " The University of London," acknowledged by Mr. John Shaw Letevre, in the absence of the Earl of Burlington; " The British Association for the Advancement of Science," replied to by Sir Roderick Murchison; " The Learned Professors present," for whom Professor Sedgwick returned thanks; " The Royal College of Chemistry," spoken to by its president, Lord Newry; " The Royal Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons," acknowledged by Dr. Paris; and lastly, "The Army and Navy," in whose behalf Sir John Burgoyne expressed his thanks and esteem of his brethren of both services. The Lord Mayor, attended by his distinguished guests, then retired from the Egyptian-hall to the Drawing room, and at a late hour the party separated. On Thursday last the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress gave a splendid banquet in the Egyptian-hall to the members of the Common Council, their ladies and families. MR. MONCKTON MILNES AND THE NEW GOVERNMENT. TO THE ELECTORS AND INHABITANTS OF THE BOROUGH OF PONTEFRACT. Gentlemen,—The course of policy adopted by Sir Robert Peel having entirely dissolved the powerful political party which raised him to that direction of public affairs in 1841, I think it right to address to you a few remarks as to the part my sense of public duty inclines me to take in this peculiar juncture. As I never anticipated either the great immediate benefit, or the extensive ultimate injury from the repeal of the corn-laws that many others have done, I should have preferred a settlement of the question which should not have been attended with so great a sacrifice of revenue, and with so much painful feeling on the one hand, and so much triumph on the other; but when all hope of compromise was past, I could not consent to reject a measure which so large a portion of the community believed to be just, when the loss, whatever it be, must, as far as our p ar t o f th e country is concerned, exclusively on my own class of society, the demand for labour being abundant, and the tenant-farmer free to make new terms with his landlord, as altered circumstances may require. But the greater part of the late Ministers had been the staunchest: advocates of the protective system ; and we, acting under the advice of Sir Robert Peel in 1841, op posed the considerable advance in the direction of free trade then proposed byLord John Russell ; and thus, however conscientious may have been the change of opinion in the late Government, it was impossible that one party could forgive the suddenness of their conversion, or that the other could forget their long persistence in error. They have, therefore, incurred the natural consequences of in firmity of purpose, and their opponents, whose free-trade tendencies Parliament has accepted and confirmed, are now the Ministers of England. This occurrence is surely not to be regretted, when we consider that the alternative must have been the un certain maintenance in power of a Government too ex posed to insulting reproaches from former friends, who believed themselves betrayed, and to impediments from opponents who believed themselves overreached; and only able to retain their places by continual appeals to the meanest interests and the basest passions. Lord John Russell is at the head of the most numerous of the three parties in the House of Commons, and has thus the fairest claim to form a Government, but it is clear that he cannot sustain that position with honour to himself and benefit to the nation, unless supported by some who have hitherto been opposed to him. It appears improbable that Sir Robert Peel, hiving retired to his wealthy privacy and his hopes of fame, will, for some time at least, attempt to organise a new opposition; and it is not certain that the colleagues and followers, who have already endured and sacri ficed so much, would invite him to a fresh competition. The Protectionists, to whom the present Government owe their accession to power, are not the men to have raised an Administration for the mere pleasure of over throwing it, and sport with the institutions of their country without prospect of advantage to their principles or their party. Every man, in fact, is free to act as he thinks best; and I cannot conceal from you my convic tion, that it is the present duty of every true Conserva tive to give a fair and independent support to the Go vernment of Lord John Russell. An opposition may—nay, must—form itself in the course of time ; but let it be a real and not a nominal one—an opposition either to the practical mismanage ment of the executive, or to an illiberal and exclusive distribution of the offices of state, or to an attack upon some institution which we reasonably value. Let us, in a word, oppose measures which we believe to be wrong, and not the men who have been placed in a difficult and responsible position, almost without an intentional effort, by a series of singular events, and the rapid change in the political views of a mature and experienced states m an. In the limitation of the hours of factory labour, in the amendment of the tenure of land in Ireland, in the im provement of the poor-law, in the prosecution of public education, and in the wisest treatment and reformation of criminals, Lord John Russell has before him ques tions sufficient to call forth all his energies, and on which it would be indeed grievous t 3 see good intentions and sagacious plans thwarted by the blindness and violence of Parliamentary faction. Old party distinctions have passed away, and it would be well if old party names could be extinguished too. Let the new Government distinguish itself by a truly liberal, temperate, and judicious policy, and by patent, practical reforms, and the country will forget that it in chides men who once offended it by their exclusive pre tensions and oligarchical traditions. With these hopes, and, I may add, expectations, I trust that I shall find myself representing your feelings and desires, in supporting, as long as I conscientiously can, the Admini.tration of Lord John Russell. RICEIARD MONCKTON MILNES. 26, Pall-mall, July 8. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTsxOUTTI, Tittatsnar.—The Lords of the Admiralty have cancelled the appointment of Mr. James Chimmo, the paymaster and purser of the Alarm, 26, Captain Frankland, having doubtless considered the impropriety of returning him to a ship where he has received such unprecedented ill-treat ment; and given him notice, through the Commander- in- Chief at this port, that he is to hold himself in readiness to receive another appointment. We cannot too highly eulo gize such an exhibition of noble and prompt justice as this act of the Ellenborough Admiralty ; and, we doubt not, but that the appointment about to be conferred upon Mr.Chimmo will be one which will repay him for all the expense and agony of mind he has bean so wantonly subjected to under the late disgraceful circumstances at Bermuda. A larger ship and a better station than his last is clearly but just to expect, and will convey a practical lesson to flag and other officers to respect and not to abuse the power vested in them, when from under the eye of the powers at home. The Avenger steam-frigate, Captain Williams, arrived at Spithead this morning from Cork, to fit and prepare for the reception of Ibrahim Pacha and suite, whom she will convey from this port, en route to Egypt, on his Highness's departure from this country. The Pembroke, 72, one of the advanced ships, has had her foremast taken out this morning, it being rotten. It has been in her nearly two years, and was made in 1838. The Pem • broke was docked immediately afterwards to have her copper examined. The Nautilus, 8, Lieutenant -Commanding John J. M'Donell, arrived this morning from off Brighton, to recruit water and provisions. A board, comprising ;General Webber Smith, Director- General of Royal Artillery ; Colonel Cardew, Commandant of the Royal Engineers in this garrison ; and Colonel Cock burn, Royal Artillery, arrived here yesterday to select a pro per site for a new laboratory, in case the present one (adja cent to the works of the new steam basin, in course of con struction in this dockyard) should be required to be removed to extend the said works. We were in hopes that amongst the number of officers Lord Ellenborough has been pleased to consider as deserving of promotion, would have been found the First Lieutenant of her Majesty's ship Vanguard—an officer who has been almost uninterruptedly employed since his promotion to the rank of Lieutenant, which bears date November, 1826. In addition to this officer's length of service, is to be mentioned the fact of his having been First Lieutenant of three line-of-battle ships, viz., the Talavera, Pembroke, and Vanguard, twice in the last-named ship. We still hope these facts may draw his Lordship's attention, and that his last signature to a commander's com mission, ere he leaves office, will be th e promoting to that rank of the above most-esteemed and de serving officer. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office from the Governors of New South Wales and New Zealand. A person in North Shields has - ii rabbit of the Spaiaish breed, which has in four litters produced forty-seven young ones—first litter, nine; second, fourteen; third, twelve; and the (Qurtb, teu.—.Aravontle brourna4 RAILWAY ACROSS THE MEASEY. The following are copies of the chief points in the cor respondence with the Admiralty relative to the proposed viaduct across the Mersey to be constructed by the Grand Junction Railway Company. The papers were printed by order of the House of Commons, and were delivered on Saturday : Admiralty, April 4, 1814. Sir,—l am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you that they will give their consent to the construction of a viaduct across the river Mersey by the Grand Junction Railway Company, on the following conditions :- 1. That as a compensation for the obstruction to the stream, which must be caused by the piers of the pro posed bridge, all the rocky shore on the Lancaster side must be cut away, at the expense of the railway com pany, up to the line A A on the plan, so as to give a proper direction , to the stream. 2. That a small portion of the Castle Rock (B) on the Cheshire side, as well as the adjacent angle of the shore (C), be also cut away by the company, in order to form the shore to a regular curve, as shown in the plan. 3. That the island between the Castle Reck and the Old Quay Canal be removed by the same parties, and that all the above-mentioned excavations be made to the lowest summer level of the river. 4. That if the company think it expedient to carry the bridge on arches, the waterway opening between the piers be not less than 280 feet in the clear ; that the piers be not more than twenty-five feet in thickness, with proper cutwaters ; and that the clear headway under the centre of each arch be not less that 100 feet above the level of the flow of the highest tides, and that the spring of the arches be not less than 65 feet above the same level. But if, instead of such arches, the company should consent to substitute flat girders, with piers of not more than 20 feet thickness (which would be in every way preferable), my Lords w mid in that case be contented with the clear space of 250 feet between the piers. 5. That in order to facilitate the warping of large vessels through the bridge, a turret staircase from the footway along the bridge should be made, down the second and third piers from the Cheshire side, to a strong wooden or iron gallery round those piers, of about three feet wide, and one or two feet above high water mark; that a trackway between the river and the abutment wall, of the usual breadth, should be left on the Cheshire side, and that a free footpath should be afforded along the bridge, properly protected from the railway, and connected to the present footpaths on each bank of the river. 6. That the excavated materials shall either be used in the construction, or placed in the curved line desig nated on the plan by the letters D D D, so as to form a wall or weir, which shall, in the first place, extend 2,000 feet to the eastward, and afterwards 800 feet fnrther (if considered necessary by their Lordships) in order to give a proper direction to the tidal streams, and this wall or weir shall be securely or substantially constructed, and carried up, at the expense of the company, to the level of high water, and that the works of excavation shall be carried on simultaneously with the erection of the bridge, which shall not be opened for the use of the railway till all the excavations shall be fully completed, nor till the works be approved by the Lords Conserva tors of the Mersey. 7. That during the execution of these works neither the navigation nor the current shall be obstructed more than is absolutely necessary in the opinion of the acting conservator of the river. 8. That any damage done to passing vessels by the works of the bridge during its execution, unless caused by the negligence or misconduct of the pilots or persons in charge of the vessel, shall be paid by the company.— I am, &c., (Signed) H. CORRY. J. Swift, E-1., Fenton's Hotel, St. James's-street. Gwydyr House, Whitehall, March 28, 1846. Sir,—Having laid before my Lords Conservators of the River Mersey the clause you propose to insert in the Huyton and Aston branch of the Grand Junction Rail way Company, relative to a bridge over the River Mersey, at Runcorn ; I am desired by my Lords to inform you their Lord ships approve of the clause; but, in addition thereto, my Lords Conservators deem it to be necessary that you fur ther insert a clause in your Bill to the following effect:— " That in the event of any improvement hereafter taking place in the navigation of the river Mersey, east ward of the proposed bridge at Runcorn, for the purpose of establishing a communication for ships or vessels with Manchester, or any other place to the eastward of the present viaduct of the Grand Junction Railway over the river Mersey, near Warrington, the Grand Junction Company, or the then owners of that railway, shall con sent to such arrangements for the passing through their present viaduct over the river Mersey, near Warrington, as my Lords Conservators shall deem it to be expedient to require." (Signed) GEORGE EVANS, Acting Conservator of the River Mersey. To J. Swift, Esq., solicitor for the Bill, 29, George-street, May 16, 1846. My Lords,—l take the liberty of again communicating with your Lordships in reference to the bridge proposed to be constructed by the Grand Junction Railway Com pany over the river Mersey, at Runcorn, which, accord ing to the clause approved by your Lordships, is to be constructed in such manner, and with such works, as your Lordships may direct. Under these circumstances, I have to request that, if it be not inconsistent with your Lordships' views, I may be favoured with a letter from your Lordships, which I may submit to the committee, stating that, in your Lordships' opinion, it is desirable that the precise mode of constructing the bridge should be left open to the supervision of your Lordships, rather than that clauses should be inserted in the Bill fixing now any specific mode of constructing such bridge, or any particular works to be done by the company, for the improvement of the bed of the river. (Signed) J. SWIFT. The Right Hon. the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. THE MOORS. As the weather is favourable, or the contrary, the hopes of the farmer are elevated or depressed, from the period that he first sees the fruits of the earth appearing above the soil, until the ripe harvest treasures are gathered from the fields. So it is with the sportsman. From the time that he first observes grouse-poults among the heath, until he carries home his first bag, the state of the weather, as it bears on the young broods, is to him a constant source of anxiety. But his observe.• tions begin sooner than those of the farmer. Vegetable life is rarely destroyed in embryo ; animal life often. Now comes a spring so mild that the birds pair and have their eggs sooner than usual ; then comes " a frost, a killing frost," when the birds abandon their nests on the mountain flat, and retire to sheltered valleys, where they bring forth about half the usual number. Again, when the playful cheepers move through the heath after their parent birds, a week or fortnight of burning hot weather dries up every pool and burn ; and, if the moors are unsupplied with spri ngs , numbers die for want of water, or fall in the rents opened by the sun's heat. Continued rains thin their ranks, by drowning numbers among the wet heath ; and, last of all, when full grown, and able to find their own provision, comes that mysterious grouse pestilence, tapeworm, which, like cholera, appears here and there on places widely separated. Judging from the reports we have seen and heard, we are glad to be able to inform sportsmen that the ensuing will be, in most places, an excellent season for hill sport. On the lower moors, coveys are large, and, in some instances, so strong as to be equal in size with old birds. On very high moors they are much later and fewer in number, averaging generally three to four brace. Thus the sportsman will have, on the 12th of August, abundance of young birds to give real active sport at the very beginning, reserving high ground till fairly in training to ascend the mountain tops. Deer stalking will, in all probability, be first-rate. Sel dom have the corries been seen clothed with such luxu riance of rich grass and herbage, so necessary to stimu late the growth of antlers, which are now progressing fast to their mature state. We subjoin a few of the shootings which have been taken since our last notice. The demand is still as great as formerly, and will likely result in nearly all being engaged. Langwell. J. P.

Hisre l_ r ,o e rd t ship, one day last week, while fishing with the rod, killed, in one pDol, six clean run salmon, averaging about 101 b. weight. Mr. Hay Mackenzie, on Saturday week, killed a fine young stag, which was in good condition for the season. and weighed, clean, 16 stones. The thunder storms so prevalent in the south, did not extend to that part of Ross-shire ; but there were occasional heavy showers, and a finer season for vegetation has never been witnessed. A curious circumstance occurred near Lochcarron on the 19th ult. As some fishermen were re turning from sea, they captured a large roe-buck, which appeared to be crossing the firth :it Attadale. The animal was probably driven into the water by the gadflies, which annoy forest game at this season. Sportsmen and tourists are appearing in this truly Highland district, and an enthusiastic correspondent thus describes one of his journeys:—" Probably the most romantic drive in the Highlands is from Jeantown to Applecross—the road, in a serpentine form, winds over the loftiest mountain, discovering at intervals a frightful precipice, or some beautiful lawn, where young harts are seen frisking about. The descent exhibits the lovely glen, the tall white mansion -house, and the azure sea. This is decidedly one of the finest views in the Highlands, and resembles very closely some sc, , nes in the Upper Alps. There are numerous lakes in the neighbourhood, teeming with trout, which the proprietor does not pre serve, and on the shore sea-fowl in myriads. The peo ple on these shores appear to live in comfort. Their proprietor is one of the best of landlords."—lnverness Courier. THE DEATH'S HEAD Ott BEE HAWK MOTH.—Twenty specimens of full-grown larva were taken from the plant Lyceum Europium, or tea-tree, in Terrace-lane, at the hack of Downing-terrace, Cambridge, growing on the top of the house on the slates. They were first discovered on the 4th inst., by four or five falling from the roof to the pe7ement. The occupiers of the house killed them as monsters unknown. Mr. Denny, of Downing-terrace, was fortunate enough to obtain about a dozen of them. A ladder was obtained and 12 IMe fuilLgro%rn specimens are now gone to earth for their transformation. Mr. Denny states that he never found the caterpillar before, except on the potato jasmine, woody night shade, thorn apple, and elder, but never recollects any having been taken upon the tea•tree.-.Cambridge Advertiser, T.TS INTERESTING TO NATURAJ- - I Lately a pair of birds, somewhat like the throspecio niavis, but :artier and evidently of a different so r were observed building their nest near the top ° tsar ) , the loftiest trees in the small plantation at th e 4dl Pitcullen, in this neighbourhood ; and were all u o i proceed with their work, with no other intern,; than occasionally an attempt by two jackda ws them, as was supposed, of their building 111 , 6 4 ' , but who were always beaten off.
