Morning .. a; aainutee after 12.1 Evening .. 16 minutes after I year on each of the several articles enumerated in the resolutions moved on the 27th of January, 1846, by the Right Hon. Sir ROBERT PEEL, specifying the rate then levied, and the rate where the same is proposed to be altered, and showing the aggregate of the duties re ceived." In these lists are included the articles the duties on which are proposed to be repealed ; and our readers will no doubt be surprised to learn the ♦ery small amount of revenue produced by the fifty different articles which form this list. The total sum amounts only to 55,8791., about one-half of which is produced by the duty on living animals, and nearly the same sum from manufactures of wool or of wool mixed with cotton. The reduction of duties on live cattle, which produced such alarm at first, has in fact had no effect whatever, for the price of cattle has been rising ever since, and the amount of duties received from most of the remaining articles is so small as hardly to deserve notice—for in stance the annual receipt on bacon is 371., on pork, fresh, 561., on meat salted or fresh (not otherwise de scribed), 1531., on caviare, 81., &c. And when we turn to the list, in which we find articles which compete with those produced at home, the smallness of the quantity imported is equally astonishing. When the duty on foreign boots and shoes was reduced, a belief prevailed in certain quarters that London would be inundated with Frencl► boots and shoes, and that Eng lish masters and journeymen would be ruined. Here is the result :—women's boots and shoes, annual receipt of duty, 577/. ; men's boots, 1,6272 ; boys' boots and shoes, not exceeding seven inches in length, 11. ; hats (felt, hair, wool, or beaver), 471. ; and a large quantity of articles of a similar description in pro portion. Such a result is highly satisfactory, because it shows that the skill, industry, and perseverance of our tradesmen can set foreign competition at defiance, and that Englishmen, even with a heavy load of taxes, can outstrip foreigners, and safely dispense with every protecting duty. We find, from the same return, that the total antount received for corn, grain, meal and flour during the year, was only 357,203/. This is all the revenue obtained by the operations of the sliding-scale; but how much the people had to pay, and hew much went into the pockets of the landowners, is another question. This glaring anomaly, however, is now on the point of being abolished for ever; for fresh symptoms occurring every day, leave no doubt that the measures of Sir ROBERT PEEL will be triumphantly carried. Not the least extraordinary, among the politica changes which have supervened upon the Ministeria conversion, is that of a re-examination, or, as it may be appropriately termed, a revision of the sentiments enter tained by ♦arious constituencies, and professed by their different representatives. As any mere casual spectator must hare observed during the last fortnight, our columns have been inundated with requisitions from electors dispatched from many quarters of the kingdom, and ad dressed to county Members, insisting either upon an an nouncement of their positive determination to support the spirit of agricultural monopoly, in opposition to the proposed commercial alterations, or, on the other hand, instantly to vacate their seats in Parliament, as traitors to the cause which they had origi nally advocated, and consequently as incompetent to represent their interests in the Lower House. From the numerous answers which these requisitions have elicited, and which have likewise been duly chronicled in our columns, it is unnecessary to do more than remark, that in a vast majority of cases the Hon. Gentlemen in ques tion hare candidlT and boldly expressed their opposition to a continuance of an exclusive system of pro tection, accompanying the declaration with a straight forward and manly account of the peculiar circumstances which have induced them to recede from their previous principles as untenable, and at the same moment ac cepting the alternative offered by their constituents, by resigning their posts as Members of the House of Com mons. In acting thus, these gentlemen have been actuated by one most laudable motive in particular ; they have themselves, through a protracted analysis of events, through a series of severe investigations, and through a dispassionate experience of past sessions, arrived at the very rational deduction that the present system of import and export duties is prejudicial, not only to the industrial classes in particular, but also to every other individual in the community that the existing restrictions upon trade are contrary to the dictates of common sense, as filching the pockets of the many for the emolument of the few—that, in fact, some general and instantaneous abolition of these clogs upon commerce was absolutely requisite, and that the reduction of the abstract theory into practice was incumbent upon the Legislature. They had, by perseverance, obtained this more en larged ♦iew of things ; they took a wider sur ♦ey of international trade than heretofore ; they saw facts in a new light, and through a clearer atmosphere ; and from a definite desire and expectation that the mul titude would take, or had taken, a similar review of these particularities in our Constitution, they readily with drew from their onerous but honourable duties, leaving the ultimate decision of the matter to time, or to popu lar reason. Upon this great and memorable evening— an evening which will be especially noted in the pages of our ccuntry'a history—we would direct a more than cursory glance at the reply which Lord LINCOLN has just addressed to the electors of the Southern Division of the county of Nottingham, in answer to a resolu tion, passed some few days since, at a meeting of the Nottinghamshire Agriculture Protection Association. We would direct attention to this document at this pre cise time from an anxiety on our part to signalise, in a sentence or two at least, the ♦arious expressions con tained in that letter—expressions which redound so much to the credit, and to the honour, and to the con sistency of the Noble Lord. We have already, elsewhere, defined our notion of what a true and far-seeing poli tical consistency really is; and therefore it will suffice us to observe that Lord LINCOLN merits this honourabl e epithet in a particular manner, as a man who adheres more to the inferences of sound sense than the paltry and narrow boundaries of party-feeling—as one who rather regards the whole than the infinitessitna] portion. While the Duke of NEWCASTLE can retain in a certain degree of subserviency and thraldom to what may in a particular manner influence his re venues, those of his tenantry who are capable of participating in an election, his son can thus throw off the straight-jacket of self-interest and follow the instigations of justice to his fellow-men. Lord HENNIKER also has enacted a part in these recent squabbles with an equal amount of credit to his honesty of purpose, by acting in a similar manner to his constituency of East Suffolk, though his opinions upon the matter at issue are not as definitely or comprehensibly expressed. In conclusion, we,can merely utter one more casual com ment, namely, that, admirable as the main characteristics of the Reform Bill were, an extension both in their conception and in their operation would have been productive of a still greater amount of benefit to our Constitution. If all these recent exigencies, for example, had bee❑ taken into account when that great and ever glorious measure was being framed, we should never have witnessed the misunderstandings to which we shave made this particular allusion. The discussion, how ever, which has already commenced in Parliament may remedy more social grievances than we can well cal culate. This very night may in future times be looked back to as the starting point of our most memorable, and most peaceful, and most triumphant Revolution. In another column will be found a statement of the amount of the proposed increase in the army and navy. As to the necessity of this in crease, we imagine there cannot be two opi nions, for even the most crotchetty of the members of the Peace Society must perceive that at the present moment the only possible way of preserving peace is to let Mr. President Pols and his backers see that we are fully prepared for war. The increase in the artil lery and in the army may perhaps be sufficient, although we should by no means have objected to have seen a still larger increase proposed in both those forces; but with regard to the navy and the marines, we con sider that the increase is lamentably insufficient. In the navy not only should there be an increase in the number of men to at least double the amount proposed, but there' should be an in crease of pay and an increase of comfort. The pay of a seaman in the British navy is somewhere about thirty shillings a month. In the British merchant service, and in the United States navy, the pay is upwards of three pounds per month—rather more than double. The demand for a bl e -b o di ed seamen is greater than the supply, and Sir ROBERT PEEL as a good p olitical economist must kno w 'th at t h e price of sailors'labour like the price of every oth er d escr i pt i on of labour, is , regulated by the doctrine of demand and supply, and that if the country wants the services of able-bodied seamen, it must be prepared to pay the proper price to se cure them. As to attempting to revive the system of impressment, the Government might as well attempt to revive the system of serfdom. "The schoolmaster" has been abroad for the last thirty years, and the pupils of the schoolmaster will never submit to the press-gang. l The nation which paid 20 , 000,000 /. for the no t tolerate emancipation f n blackm t slav to es, re w vi h v i e e will atrocious system of white slavery, known under the name of impressment, w ill not grudge a fair and proper and liberal remuneration to those gallant men to whose prowess it is indebted, net alone for its station, its power, its wealth, and its honour, but for its very existence. Let us hope, therefore, that the present session of Parliament will not close without some material increase being voted to the pay of the ordinary seaman. Then again with regard to the Royal Marines, the increase proposed is only to the extent of 2,500 men. This is by no means a suffi cient increase to the effective strength of this the most efficient and useful corps in her MAJESTY'S service. Be it recollected that the marines are both soldiers and sailors, that they are accustomed to be at sea, and that, therefore, unlike the soldiers of the line, they do not suffer from sea sickness, but are ready for action the instant they land upon an enemy's coast. We need only allude to the Chinese war, as a proof of the usefulness of a large body of marines in conducting a coast warfare ; ar.d as a war with the United States would, as far as the American Atlantic seaboard is concerned, partake very much of the character of the Chinese war, we think it would be but prudent on the part of the Executive to ask for a much larger increase to the corps of Royal Marines than the one proposed. In making these preparations, the Government should bear in mind the maxim of the . Duke of WELLINGTON, that " a great nation cannot make a little war," and it is only by a great nation showing that it is determined to make any war, into which it may be forced a great one, that it can prevent a community, which repudiates the laws of nations and of honour as openly and avowedly as it has already repudiated those of honesty, by repudiating its just debts, from annoying it by a little piratical war under taken for the mere purpose of plunder. We have received Madrid papers of the 31st ult. On that day the new Electoral Bill was presented and read by the Secretary. It is nearly the same as that brought forwari last session, and the principal future is, that the elections will take place by districts and colleges, and net by pro vinces. In answer to semi complaints of Senor OEMISH re specting the persecutions against the press, the Minister of the Interior said he considered the liberty of the press as one of the necessary conditions of a constitutional government, but it was extremely difficult to regulate and keep it in harmony with complete liberty and public order. Govern ment had prepared a Bill on the subject, which would be laid before the Chambers in a few days. On the 31st the Three per Cents. closed at S 8 at 60 days ; the live per Cents., at 23 1 4 at 60 days; the Coupons, at 24% at 60 days; and the Madrid and Aranjusa Railroad shares at 2,070 at 60 days. In the French Chamber of Deputies M. GUIZOT, after the motion of M. D'ANGEvnasn respecting Madagascar had been adopted, declared that the expedition would not leave France until the Committee on extraordinary credits had examined the vote for that purpose. Most of the journals express disapprobation of this unexpected delay. Even the Epoque blames the Government : " Assuredly," it says "if there be anything in the world conducted with reserve, it is this affair of Madagascar. We regard the conduct of the Cabinet as even toe cautious—it is absolutely timid. Oar flag has been insulted by the islanders of Madagascar, our countrymen having establishments in the island have been molested and pillaged. It is now decided to viadicate the honour of our flag, and to afford an efficient support to the interests of French subjects. In our opinion such a line of conduct is the least that could be adopted. Under pain of dishonour it was absolutely impossible not to decide en this expedition. We should have blamed the Cabinet not to have determined on it; we do not believe that it ought to be lauded for doing what it has done, because the accomplish ment of a rigorous duty does not merit an eulegium. But the Cabinet has thought it right to accompany its preparations with restrictions and palliatives of which we do not perceive the necessity. It has protested that it had not in view any establishment or any project of colonisation. Mutt is the use of these declarations beforehand; why are these engage ments entered into ? There is always time to do or not to do ; but it appears to us absolutely superfluous to abjure one's liberty of action for the future. This conduct appears to us, therefore, prudent to excess, or to speak more correctly, timid." The Press( is equally opposed to delay :—" What it is now permitted to us to see is that the expedition, if it should take place at all, will be without result. We say fit should take place, for nothing can be more doubtful. The Minister of Foreign Affairs de clared that it will not set out until the Chamber, specially discussing the question by a demand for grants, shall have categorically expressed its opinion on this subject. A month will certainly elapse before that moment can arrive." The Constitutionnel expresses great anger at the turn which affairs are taking, and this closes an article on thesubject : " We are warranted in thinking that our ships and cur troops have been got together, and the expedition been prepared, only to disgust us with it. Can anything be more puerile than such conduct and such avowals ? What esteem can France have for a Government which renders the most im portant affairs dependent upon suck sad calculations ?" The following paragraph respecting the disputes between the French and Hayti Governments appears in the Presse "Fresh information which we have received tends to con tradict the news which had been lately given us of an ar rangement between the Government of Hayti and our repre sentatives at St. Domingo. The ultimatum sent in by Cap tain Lartigue to President Pierrot was composed of two parts, an indemnity of 15,000 gourds (the gourd is worth a little more than lf.), and the official retractation of a decree issued by the President on the occasion. For the first part we be lieve there is no difficulty; but, for the second, the case is quite the opposite. The last packet from the Weet Indies!, did not bring any official news on the subject, but we believe that we have received such information as enables us to de clare that the President has peremptorily refused the second part of the satisfaction demanded. We may add, sad the Next arrival will conllrm our statement, that his refusal was of such a nature as to add to our just complaint." On Friday the Chamber of Deputies adopted the Address, in reply to the Speech from the Throne, by a majority of 232 to 141. A. general meeting of the shareholders of the Great Northern Railroad was held at Paris, en Thursday, when it appeared, from the report of the Directors, that the line will be opened, as far as Clermont, in March next, and to Amiens in April, or the beginning of May. The centre line will be opened to the public ii June. A. letter from Berne states that, on the lit instant, the pri mary asserablies had to pronounce on the decision of the Grand Council relative to undertakingitself the work of revi sion. About 34,000 citizens voted, and only 10,000 sanctioned the decision of the Grand Council, the rest deciding that the revision should be confided to a coistituent assembly. The greatest excitement prevailed. Trees of liberty had been planted in various places, with other manifestations of popu lar commotion, which caused anxiety to the more peaceable portion of the community. The Augsburg Gazette, of the 2d, states that the police of Tuscany have arrested, at Leghorn, a coNee-housekeeper, in whose house they found a correspondence with the conspira tors of the Romagna. Several other arrests were mad. after this discovery. The same journal states that a police agent has been assassinated at Ancona ; and accounts from Flo rence announce that great dissatisfaction bad been manifested against the Government, for delivering up Rmwzi. The most violent placards were posted up in the streets, and the GRAND D LACE, to evade the annoyance, had retired to the Maremma for a time.

When Sir ROBERT PEEL introduced his first nevf tariff INV, by which the duty on a large variety of foreign rti e les was totally abolished, and that on manyoth; er greatly reduced, an outcry was raised by certain classes against the scheme. Native industry, it was said, would thereby be discouraged, a preference given to foreigners most injurious to the hard-working and highly -t axe d English mechanic and tradesman, and a great many other calamities were foreboded which, happily, have net been realised. „Indeed, the number of articles imported under the new tariff are so extnemely small, that the part i es who raised such objections must look back wth little self-complacency on what they regarded as deep foresight, and a knowledge of the princi ples of trade and commerce from which such theorists a llorsaissort and PEEL were entirely debarred. Ex rience has shown that all these apprehensions were totally unfounded, and that the importation of foreign 'rticles in consequence of the new duties could not have tie slightest effect upon the native tradesman or pro guest..

The accounts received from Liverpool this morning give the following report of the state of the Cotton Market there on Saturday last : " There have been sold to-day about 5,000 bales if Cotton, including 1,000 bales on speculation. There is no change in prices." We regret to learn that the Bencoolen has been totally lost near Liverpool. The following has just been posted at the North and South American Coffee-house upon this melancholy subject:— " The undersigned, George Gray, seaman on board the barque Bencoolen, from Cullen, gives the following account : " 1 he Bencoolen passed Holyhead about five o'clock on the morning of the 7th inst., and at eight o'clock got a pilot on board, and proceeded with the wind at W. to W.N.W. towards the Victoria Channel. Hove-to from 9 A.M. to 3 P.m., when the ship proceeded, and passed over the Victoria Bar at about half past six o'clock, the pilot being on deck from 3 P.M. until she struck on Taylor's Bank about half an hour after she passed the Bell buoy. When the vessel struck, the quarter-boat was immediately lowered, by order of the pilot, as a means of safety in case the vessel should go to pieces, and into which five •f the seamen, and three apprentices got, leaving eleven in number, in cluding the master and the pilot, on board—the sea at the tints making a heavy breach ever the ship, when the boat carried away a three-and-a-half inch line. The boats even attempted to regain the vessel, but the boat hay ing twice filled, the crew determined OR making the best of their way fur the shore, the vessel at the time, from the effect of her striking en the bank, was apparently breaking up. The boat's crew landed at Prince's Dock Basin about half-past nine P.M. (Signed) "GEORGE GRAY. " P.S. Three steamers and the Liverpool life-boat were immediately dispatched, but on reaching the spot where the vessel struck little of the wreck could be seen, and it is sup posed that every soul on board has perished." The arrival of the Trent West India mail steamer has been announced at the Jamaica Coffee-house. She reached Southampton Water at nine o'clock this minting. The letters and papers brought by her will probably reach town this afternoon. The very general topic of conversation in the City this morning is the turn the discussion will take in the House of Commons upon the important topics contained in the pro jected changes in the corn-laws and the tariff. The impres sion is that Government will have a good majority. It is thought here that the debate will last eight or ten days at least. A very firm market has prevailed for all the British Secu rities to-elav, and prices have advanced. Consols for Money and the Account have advanced full 3 / 4 per cent. on the closing value of Saturday afternoon. Both have reached 97 3 / 4 ; the latter are now 1 ,4 lower, as some realising has been going on. Exchequer-bills have commanded 41s. premium. Bank Stock has reached 209. The Reduced Three per Cents. 97 3 / 4 , and the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 100 1 ,4. The market for the Mexican Bonds has improved also. A good remittance is expected by the Trent steamer, for the Mexican Dividend Fund, and the Bonds have touched 31. They are now a shade lower. Brazilian have improved to 8314 ; the French Three per Cents. to 83f. 75c.; and the Dutch Two- and-a-Half per Cents. to 60% 3 / 4 . The Share Market has shown great firmness this morning. All the unfounded fears about a panic, on account of railway deposits, having disappeared. The latest quotations are annexed. ONII cLoeING O'CLOCK. PRICES.

CORN EXCHANGE.-(MONDAY.) The announcernetil of the failure of a large malster at Ware, in llerefordshire, whose liabilities on this market are upwards of 12,0001., cast a gloom over the proceedings here, especially as it is known that the Government is indebted in a large sum for duties. During the pastlweek up to Saturday evening, the arrivals of English Wheat wecomparatively speaking, somewhat on the increase , yet they wer re, eby no means seasonably large. Of English Barley an Malt the receipts were very extensive, those of all other grain of home pro duce moderate. Of Irish Oath, the arrivals were small; bat from abroad, upwards of 15,000 quarters, on which his probable the duty will be 'paid —came to hand. The fresh supply of foreign Wheat and Flour has been good; bet, under present circumstances, it has been landed in bond. From Es sex a fair average quantity of Wheat came to hand, coastwise as wel as by land-carriage, and samples, Put that frem Kent, Cambridge shire, &c., was small. Although the attendance of buyers was rather large, the demand for that article was not to say brisk ; nevertheless, the finest qualities of both Red and White moved off steadily, at very full prices. In other kinds but few sales were effected, at last Monday's quotations; yet a fair clearance was effected prior to the close of the mar ket, The show 01 free foreign Wheat wassail:al ; yet time demand for ttkat article was somewhat inactive, at unaltered currencies. Holders of Foreign Wheat under lock were asking most extravagant prices. I This, of course, checked the inquiry, and so little was doing that the currencies were almost nominal. The supply of Barley was very extensive ; owing to which, the sale for it was in a depressed state, and in some instances the factors were compelled to submit to a fur ther reduction in prices of Is per quarter. The show of Malt being good, and the buyers operating with great caution, the Malt trade was dull, and prices had a downward tendency. In Oats very little was doing, zt barely, but at nothing quotable beneath last week's curren cies. Beans, Peas, and Flour dull, but not cheaper. CURRENCY PER.

Since Monday last the imports of live stock from the Continent for our market have been en a very liberal scale, the time of year considered, viz., 140 oxen and cows, and two calves from Rotter dam ; 200 cows, 40 oxen, and 300 sheep from Harlingen; together with 20 oxen from Hamburgh. The whole of the above supplies have been received, per steamers, in excellent condition. At the outports the receipts, arising; from the comparatively high prices ruling here, have been unimportant. Ti-day we had on offer 250 beasts, and 310 sheep from Holland, with which the trade was in a sluggish state, and previous quotations were not supported. From our own grazing districts, the arrivals of beasts fresh up were on the increase, and of very superior quality, especially as relates to the Herefords, Devons, Scots, and Homebreds. Notwithstanding the attendance of both twit and country buyers was tolerably nume rous, and the weather more faveurable for slaughtering, the beef trade was in a very sluggish state, at a decline in the currencies ob tained on this day se'nnight of 2d per albs, the very highest figures for the best Scots not exceeding 4s 4d per albs, and at which a clearance was with difficulty. effected. The Builock droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, were composed of 800 Scots and Homebreds. From the Northern counties we received 500 short horns, from the Western and Midland districts, 600 Herefords, Devons, Herta, &c. ; from ether parts of England, 400 of various breeds; from Scotland, 60 Scots ; and from Ireland, 70 beasts. The remainder of the supply was derived from abroad and the neigh bourhood of the metropolis. The numbers of Sheep were again un usually limited—the deficiency in them, compared with those ex hibited at the corresponding mar ket-day in 1845, being about sixteen thousand bead ; however the Mutton trade was again brisk, and last Monday's advanced prices were firmly supported. The best old Downs readily produced 5s 6d per Sibs. In many quarters allusions have been made to the extremely high prices at which Sheep have been selling here for some time past ; but the cause of the present range of currencies is easily explained. Our readers will recollect that during the greater portion 011844 (owing to the scarcity of keep in our large agricultural districts, the result of an unusually dry summer) the graziers were compelled to.send forward their Sheep, and dispose of them at almost any sacrifice. The great losses thee sustained at that period prevented many of the large flock masters from purchasing adequate supplies of lean stook for the then forthcoming season. In addition to these circumstances, the epidemic carried off immense numbers of Sheep. The oonsequence has been that, in many parts of the country, there is an absolute scarcity of that description of stock ; and to exemplify our remarks we may observe that on many farms it is impossible for the stock to consume the large quantities of turnips and other pabulam produced last year ; hence, in those districts where sheep are in moderate abundance the graziers can scarcely afford to dispose of their stock, whatever may be the prices here. This, then, is the principal cause of the present enhanced rates, and which will, probably, be maintained for some time hence. In order further to strengthen our observations we beg to observe that, during last year, there were exhibited here nearly three hundred sheep less than in 1844. The few prime Lambs en sale this morning sold readily at 7s per Sibs, Calves, the numbers of which were small, moved off steadily at frill prices. The Pork trade was very steady at last week's quota tions. The supply of Figi was moderately good.

During the past week the arrivals of Potatoes at the water-side (though somewhat on the increase) have been but moderate, the time of year. considered. By railway, however, the receipt* have beenmoderately extensive; while irom the Continent about 400 tons have come to band in middling condition, From Slew York twenty barrels have reached us, per the Northumberland. Owing chiefly to the large supply of green vegetables on offer, the demand for most kinds of Potatoes is inactive, and many of our quotations must be considered almoot nominal. York Reds may be quoted at from 80s to 1309 ; Old Regents, 30s to 1109 ; Scotch Reds, 50s to 805; Jersey Blue., 70s to SOs ; Scotch Buffs and Blues, 70s to 309 per ten. NONOUGN =OP MAZXZT. There is rather more business doing in the best new hops, at hilly previous quotations; but the secondary qualities command very little attention. Old olds are quite as dear. No foreign importations have lately taken place ; but we have received ten packages by steam from Ireland. ' woos. The past week's imports of Wool have been on a very moderato scale, viz., 361 bales from Taganrog, 166 ditto from Alexandria, 103 ditto from Smyrna, 19 ditto from Hamburgh, and 50 ditto from vari ous other quarters. Beth foreign and colonial Wools—owing to large public sales, consisting of 15,000 bales, being announced for the 15th instant, and following days —move off slowly at barely stationary prices; but British qualities are very steady--Down hoggetts pro ducing is 3d to is sd, and half-bred ditto 183%d to is 5d per lb. The total arrivals during the month of January were 16,971 bales, 7,953 being received in London, 7,533 at Liverpool, 1,312 at Hull, and 61 at Bristol. TALLOW. The price of fine Yellow Candle Tallow is rather cheaper than on this day se'nnight, although the delivery has fallen off. The trade have declined their purchases very considerably until after Parlia ment has decided the alteration in the duty. Town Tallow Is scarce, and the price is firm, at 43s net cash fer fine melted. RAILWAY COMMITTEES (THIS DAY.) Committee No. 1. The Committee met again at twelve o'clock this day, Mr. Strutt, Chairmax. The proceedings commenced by taking the adjourned case of the NOZTX STAPPOR.DSHXXJI (POTTERIZS) ZING. Mr. COATES opened the case for the petitioner Mr. Joseph, Keys, against the subscription contract. He had to explain to the Committee the nature of the allegation which he was of opinion would net fail to upset the case for the promoters. The contract deed was not an invalid deed, inasmuch as the trustee, Mr. Garrett, was a subscriber to the capital, and therefore he could not see upon the covenant of the deed. In that very room on Thursday last, a decision was come to in the case of the Ayrshire and Galloway, upon the very same ground. The allegation was just of the same character, and he could not see how the Committee could come to any other decision in the present instance. It was held in law that no partner could sue his co-partners for any expenditure in the outlay of their business. In the very exact position was the present deed. Take away Mr. Garrett altogether, and then the case was still the same, for the other trustee, though not a shareholder, coup not sue either himself or his partner, Mr. Garrett. The Act binds two trustees to carry out a certain contract; one of the trustees was a shareholder in the scheme, and the co-trustee,who was not a shareholder, was answerable for the liabilities of his partner to the deed, and therefore, if he were to sue Mr. Garrett, he would in reality be cueing himself and his partner. This deed was, he would not deny,per se, a valid deed, so far as the capital of the Com pany was concerned, but as far as the protection of the public was concerned, there was no power under the present deed to enforce the principles of that contract, and, consequently, the public might suffer. Having thee the decision of a Com mittee on hit side in an analogous case, having common sense on his side, and having the law on his side, he trusted that the Committee would see that the standing orders had not been complied with on the part of the promoters. Sub• Committee VC°. 2. This Committee sat to-day a few minutes before one o'clock. There were present—Sir J. Y. Buller (Chairman), Mr. Walker, Mr. Craig, Mr. Kemble, Mr. Bell, and the O'Conor Don. TEM CADSBRIDGE AND OXTORD ILAXXAVAY was heard. Mr. Parrx (in support of the motion) said—The first alle gation in the petition was, that the plans and sections of the line, as deposited with the clerk of the peace at Oxford, were not in compliance with the standing orders. In No. 12 the parish of Barington was not marked in the line of deviation. Mr. M. J. Davenport (engineer) proved the omission alleged. The distance of deviation was about 15 perches. The CnAutn.eae said that in this case the orders had been complied with. The next allegation was that the distances, miles and furlongs, were not correctly , marked on the plan. Mr. ELLiconon objected to the term the plan, as being too vague. This led to some discussion, but the Committee were of opinion that the term was sufficiently specific. Mr. M. J. Davenport was examined in support of this allegation. In one section (50) for 10 there were marked 11 furlongs. The CHAIRMAN said the standing orders had been complied with ix the present instance. The next allegation was, that the alternate miles, as laid down on the datum line, were incorrect. Mr. Davenport was examined in support of the allegation, and the Committee considered that on the 3d mile and 46th furlong there was incorrectness, aid therefore that the stand ing orders in that instance bad not been complied. The next allegation was that the gradients were impro perly marked. Mr. Davenport said that in one section instead of 84 it should have been marked 90. He did not survey the line. Mr. Denton (the engineer of the Company) was examined. He said in the section alluded to the marking was perfectly correct, in which the Committee concurred. Sub-Committee No. 3. The members of this Committee resumed their sitting at the usual hour this morning, Mr. Aglionby in the chair. NORTH HRITISH RAILWAY BRANCHES, This was a petition from the North British Railway Com pany, praying for leave to bring in Bills to enable them to construct a number of branches, and other works, on their main line. Th North British Railway commences at Berwick-on- Tweed, and termWates in a junction with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, a: Edinburgh. It is 62 miles in length, and has a branch to h.addington, in the county of that name, and a branch tolFisherrow ; and the line, it is expected, will be opened *traffic in abiint three months. The same Company are the proprietors, by purchase, of the Edinburgh and Dalkeith Railway. The present Bill was for making four branches, and alter ing and deviating the Fisherrow Branch, the cost of which works was estimated by Mr. John Miller, the engineer of the Company, at 170,0001. The Committee took an objection to the subscription con tract, because it included a number of other works to which the present Bill was in no way related; but in all other re spects the Committee decided that the standing orders had been complied with. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) The House sat to-day, at eleven o'clock; to hear English appeals. The Peers in attendance were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lerd Cottenham, Lord Campbell, and Lord Hood. THE LATE JAMES WOOD, OF GLOUCESTER. -THE MATOR,:AL DERMENAND BURGESSES OF THE BOROUGH OF GLOUCKSTER V. OSBORN AND SURMAN. This case, which comes before their Lordships upon an ap peal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Wigram, stood specially appointed for to-day. The questions for the decision of their Lordship is,whetber, under one of the codicils to the will of the late Mr. James Wood, of Gloucester, the Corpora tion of that borough are legatees of two sums of money amounting to 200,0001. The late James Wood, the banker, of Gloucester, died in 1836, possessed of immense wealth, both freehold and personal, and upon his death considerable liti gation took place upon the subject of his testamentary dispo tions in the Ecclesiastical Court, the Privy Council, and the Court of Chancery. Iu the Eccleastical Court two papers were propounded by the executors, and another paper which had been anonymously sent by the post to the late Mr. Thomos Helps, one of the legatees. was propounded by him. By the judgment of the Ecclesiastical Court probate was refused to all these papers but upon ap peal to the Privy Council, the two papers propounded by the executors and also that propounded by Mr. Helps, were ad mitted to probate, the two first as being the will of the tes tator, and the last as a codicil to that will, and upon the latter paper the question new at issue arose. That paper was to the following effect :—" In a codicil to my will I gave to the Corporation of Gloucester 140,0001. In this 1 wish my executors wd give 60,0001. more—to them for the same pur pos as I have before named I wd also give to my friends Mr. Phillpotts 50,000/., & Mr. Geo. Council 10,000/.—& to Mr. Thom. Helps, Cheapside, London, 30,0004 & Mrs. Elith. Goodlake, mother of Mr. , Surman, & to Thos. Wood, Smith str. Chelseai (each) 2,0001.—& Saml. Wood, Clevland St., Mile End 14,0001.—& the latter gentn. family 6,0001.—& I confirm all other bequests & give the rest of my property to the Drees. for their own interest. - "JAMES WOOD." "Gloucester City Old Bank, July, 1835." - - Upon probate of these papers being granted, the executors refused to pay any of the legacies contained in the codicil, and the result was, the legatees filed their bills in Chancery for the purpose of obtaining payment. The Corporation of Gloucester also filed their bill for the payment of the two sums of 140,000/. and 60,0001., given them by the codicil. The cause came on for hearing before the Vice-Chancellor Wigram. It was argued for several days, and ultimately his Honour gave judgment, dismissing the bill of the Corpora tion, but 'without costs, and directing that the sum of 255,507/. 10s. 2d., New Three-and-a-Half per Cents., stand ing in the name of the Accountant-General, in trust in the cause, should, together with the interest and dividend, be transferred to the surviving executors, the respondents in the , present appeal, his Honour, at the same time, refusing to direct any inquiry, or to direct that that the dismissal or the appellants' bill should be without prejudice to the ap pellants filing another bill in relation to the legacies, not withstanding that it appeared by the printed proceedings in the suit in the Court of Probate, that the testamentary pa pers and the repositories of the testator had been improperly dealt with during his.last illness, without his knowledge, and also after his death; and that at least one paper of the tes tator's, of a testamentary character, had immediately after his death been burned; and that thecocicil of July, 1835, it self, when propounded, was in a mutilated state, and partly burned ; and that in the envelope in which the same was for warded to Thomas Helps was enclosed a paper on which were written in pencil the following words :—" The enclosed is a paper saved out of many burnt by parties I could hang—The pretend it is not J. Wood's hand, many will swear to it—They want to swindle me—Let the rest know." From this judgment the Corporation of Gloucester brought the present appeal, contending that the codicil of July, 1835, amounted to a substantive gift of 140,000/.; that the re ference in the codicil of July, 1835, to a former codicil, did not prove that that former codicil ever existed ; and that, although such former codicil should be considered as having once existed, yet the gift of the 140,000/. referred to as made by such former codicil was not revoked, and that the non appearance of such codicil did not affect the validity of the gift either of the 140,000/. or the 60,000/. Sir Thomas Wilde, Mr. Hodgson, Mr. Swanston, and Mr. James Wilde were counsel for the appellants; and Mr. George Turner, Mr. Remilly, Mr. Walker, Mr. James Parker, an Mr. Rolt were in support of the decree of the court below. The case will probably occupy six or seven days in argument. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice Wicarrsuor.) The Court was occupied the greater part of this day with two cases —one, an action for the recovery of an attorney's bill of coats; and the other an action of ejectment, but nei ther was of the least public interest. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) ,The Court was occupied this morning with the new trial paper. The greater part of the day was spent in hearing the arguments on a case relating to a notice on a dishonoured bill, but it possessed no feature of public interest. COMMON PLEAS-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN and a Special Jury.) GAMBLE V. KUNTZ. The further hearing of this case, which commenced en Saturday afterncon, was resumed this morning, Mr. Sergeant Channel, Mr. Sergeant Bylep, and Mr. Cowling appearing for the plaintiff; and Mr. W. D. Hill, Q.C., Mr. Webster, and Mr. Atherstone for the defendant. The action is insti tuted by the plaintiff for the recovery of damages arising out of the alleged infringement of a patent effecting an improve ment in the furnaces used in the manufacture of muriatic acid and sulphate of soda (Glauber salts), out of muriate of soda (common salt), and sulphuric acid. In support of the improvement effected in the furnaces, and the general cape of the plaintiff, Mr. Cooper, lecturer on chemistry, and several other witnesses, were called, in ;answer to which it was contended that the process em ployed by.,the defendant, though an improvement on the old , method of making the chemicals in question, was not a copy of the plaintiff's mode, and did not agree with the specifica tion of his patent. The whole of the forenoon was occupied 'by counsel for the defence, urging that there was not a sufficient case, on the part of the plaintiff, to go , to the jury, but this being overruled by the Court, the calling of wit nesses on behalf of the defendant was proceeded with. The case-is not expected to close to-day. al i; __ 5 51 4 2 4 134 P 5% 136 1 4 1N 79 11N 1% "3 22 14 25% 2 1 ,‘ 103 49 49 761,4 CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY (Before Mr. Baron Rouric.) The Court was occupied all day with a charge of mis demeanour, preferred against John Kinchin, Edward Mackay, John Dodd, John Sinclair, and John Ireland, five persons connected with the Waterman's Steam-packet Company. The indictment was founded on some squabble between the above Company and the Corporation of London ; the former claim ing the right to land their passengers at the new Blackfriars pier, or, tailing that, the power of mooring a floating pier off Paul's-stairs, The Corporation resisted both claims, and hence the riot that led to the present trial. Mr. Serjeant Wilkins, Mr. Ryland, Mr. Prendergast, and Mr. Laurie, appeared for the Co w rporation, and Mr. Montagu Chambers, with Mr. Wylde, attended for the defence. The case is expected to last till a late hour. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) - - - James Odell was charged with being concerned, with Others nit in custody, in stealing a purse from William Taylor, a painter and glazier. The prosecutor stated that shortly before two o'clock, on Sunday morning, he was standing in Great Wild-street, Drury-lane, with a friend, when the prisoner, and ten or a dozen other persons, who were passing along the street, sur rounded him. One of them caught hold of his arms, to prevent him from resisting, while the others occupied them selves in searching his pockets. The prisoner took the purse from his pocket and handed it to one of his companions, who immediately made off with it. The prisoner disappeared in some of the alleys leading out of, Wild. street. Witness went direct to the station-house, and there he found the prisoner in the hands of the police. A policeman in private clothes said that he, together with another constable was-in Wild-street at the time, and saw the attack on the prosecutor, but, on account of the great disparity of numbers, they deemed it most prudent to look on at a distance. They saw the prisoner and his companions going into some of the narrow lanes in that neighbourhood, but the prisoner returned in a few minutes, and they, after a long chase, took him into custody and brought him to the station-house where they met the prosecutor, who immedi. ately identified him. He yas well known to the police. The prisoner denied his identity. Mr. JARDINE, at the request of an attorney who attended for the prosecution, remanded the priso n er till Thursday. MARLBRO-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Sarah Inn Shearman, a fashionably-dressed, good-look ing female. about IR or 2(1 years of age., desorilsod on the po lice charge-sheet as residing at No. 46, North-street, Sloane street, Chelsea, was charged with the following daring robbery : James Brown, police-constable, No. 142 of the F division, stated that between four and five o'clock on Saturday after noon last, he was with police-constable Jesse Jeupes, No. 146 of the C division, on duty in plain clothes in Regent-street, and saw the prisoner looking at some shawls in the doorway of the shop of Mr. Chatles Nicholls, No. 72, shawl-dealer and furrier. A cluster of boas were beside the shawls. The prisoner took hold of one of them, as if to look at it, and then giving it a pull, drew it from the other, and one end fell on the ground, she keeping hold of the other, and drawing the boa after her as she was going away from the shop. Wit ness was running across the way to her when she caught sight of him, and, leaving the boa on the pavement, about two feet from the shop-door, set off running along Air-street. She was instantly pursued, but, owing to the extreme fleet ness with which she ran, she was not not stopped until she had reached a considerable distance. The prisoner said that she certainly had been looking at the shawl and some boas hanging at Mr. Nicboll's shop-door, but that she was not aware of one of the latter having fallen at her feet. The prisoner was committed to take her trial. The constables have ascertained that the address she gave is correct. She has resided there for nine months, but how she obtained her living is not known. The bankruptcy of the influential house of Emanuel Brothers, of Hanover-square, which recently created such general surprise in the gold and silver trade and threatened so much calamitous distress to many of its members, is, it is confidently reported, likely to disappoint that anticipation. Mr. Joel Emanuel, the father of the bankrupts, whose reputa tion for wealth is akin to that for his benevolence, has, we are informed, most handsomely intimated his intention of giving a sum that will prevent the ruin that must have attended the majority of the creditors, who are working men, in the absence of such well-timed kindness. MUNIFICENT DONATION OF Mass BURDETT COUTTS. —We have been given to understand that Miss Burdett Coutts recently forwarded to the Bishop of London a blank cheque with her signature attached, for his Lordship to fill up with such an amount as would include the entire cost of building a church—endowing it with 300/. per annum, and for the building of a parsonage-house and schools It is said that the draft has been honoured to the amount of 30,0001. for these objects. The church, we are informed, is to be built in the city of Westminster, in compliment to the muni ficent donor, who possesses considerable property there. This splendid donation will prove a noble and lasting monument of the Christian virtues of this truly bountiful lady.— Sunday Paper. .The Earl of Lincoln has been appointed to succeed Sir Tlioznas Fremantle as Secretary for Irelaud.
