Ifl RUARY 19, 1846 The Lords did not sit yesterday. The Commons assembled at Twelve. Several railway and other private Bills were forwarded a stage, and various petitions presented. The report on the County Works Presentment (Ire land) Bill was agreed to. On the motion of Sir J. GRAHAM the third reading of the Drainage (Ireland) Bill was postponed to this day. Several returns were ordered, and the [louse ad journed at One o'clock. We were enabled on Tuesday evening to publish, in a Third Edition, the important Bill introduced by the Earl of St. GERMANS on Monday, for the better protection of life and property in Ireland. It was looked to with great interest as well as anxiety by the inhabitants generally, but more especially those of the south ; for, being well aware of the severity of Tory Governments in former days, they feared that the same system might still be pursued, and that the innocent might be subjected to deprivations and hardships which could be of little service in brieging the guilty to punishment. The Bill, however, will speedily remove these apprehensions, for, taking it altogether, we cannot see how any measure, to be effectual, could be of a less severe character. It is entitled " An Act fur the,better protection of life, and to facilitate the appre • hension and detection of persous guilty of offences in Ire land," and though, like most other legal documents, it ex tends to a considerable length, embracing twenty-seven clauses, the substance of it may be briefly stated. It em powers the Lord Lieutenant, in case of murders or attempts at murder being committed in any county, or part of a county, to appoint additional magistrates and police forces in the disturbed district, to announce the fact by • proclama tion, warn the inhabitant s i n t h e districts specified to remain within their places of abode at all hours between sunset and sunrise till the proclamatlonisr offenders, to offer and pay re wards for the discovery of 1 t Ol O pay by way of com pensation such sums of m oney as 3 child, or oth er relation of reasonable to the wife, parent, or any utrhe person,injured and w t : a m t. shall have been murdered or perm anently all the expenses incurred in consequen ce additional cons t a b u lary force, and the paym en t o f rewards' and com pensations, shall be at the charge of the disturbed disa-n dis tricts. The latter claus e is b oth politic and just, be cause it gives an int erest to ever y householder possessi ng bere di tame nts in the district in the preservation of the peace and the maintenance of law, and will therefore induce all concerned to use their endeavours to restore the district to such a state of security as will warrant the rccal of the proclamation. This is an extraordinary power conferred by the Act. Both in this country and in Ireland, when any damage t o property is caused by a lawless as semblage of people , th e owners have a claim upon the hun dred or county, but whe n it is caused by any individual or number of individuals that dces not come under the appella tion of a lawless mob, there is no remedy but by the ordinary course of law. Two clauses, relative to the parties who will be• come liable to the rates, are of great importance, because they show that a share will fall upon the smallest tenants, and that they shall not have the power to deduct the amount rom the rent. Clause XIII. enacts, " that the said rate shall be payable by, and be levied from, the actual occupiers whether the hereditaments in respect of which rate shall be Payable; shall be under the value of 41. or not ;" and the next clause provides, that the occupier shall " not be entitled to deduct from the rent any portion of the rate which he may have paid in pur suance of this Act." Thus e very inhabitant occupying a here litament, whether under t he of four pounds or not, has an interest as as pro prietors, in w putting sty do 7 at the . largest _ous offences ooiss lino Prof 9 1/ . ag a WWI mot complain, because the Act is for their protection, and those of a different character are justly condemned to the penalty. But there is another crime of a fearful character prevailing in Ireland to an extent almost universal in the south, namely, the deterring of witnesses from coming forward to give evi dence, either by actual violence or by menaces and intimida tion. The Bill also applies to this crime, and enacts that all such offenders, when convicted , shall b e deemed guilty of a misdemeanour, the punishment for which is to be transporta tion for any term not exceeding nfteen years, nor less than seven years, or imprisonment for any term not exceeding three years. Even the highest punish ment is not too severe fur an offence of such magnitude and frightful consequences. Without witnesses can be assured of protection, and come forward freely to give their evidence, the law is a dead letter, and the only alter native probably - is the military occupation of the district. From such a stretch of power the country is happily as yet exempted, and all the precautions and restrictions pro vided by the measure are to be executed by the civil force under the responsibility of the Lord Lieutenant. The intelligence as regards Ireland is of the first importance, and will be gladly received by all well-disposed persons, with the exception, perhaps, of the Orange faction, who will regard the scheme as far too mild. Let us hope, however, that it will be effectual, and that the most powerful party in Ireland, the Catholic priest hood, will lend their aid fn- that purpose, and thereby endeavour to remove a grievous reproach which their violent enemies, the Orangemen, cast on their religion. Each successive night of the present discussion has been remarkable for some characteristic entirely peculiar to itself; and, notwithstanding a very natural anxiety to see the question settled immediately, we must candidly confess that our sympathies havo been so aroused, evening after evening, by the sentiments uttered within the Parlia mentary walls, as to have rendered the debate in our regard anything but tedious. Nevertheless, . filled as we are with a conviction of the perils impending thousands of our countrymen ; listening to the solemn warnings of the Prime Minister, and the stern enunciations of Mr. O'CONNELL; hearing the burning words and seeing the energetic gestures of those two remark able men, as they tell us of the " famine, and the disease which follows famine," of the woe, and the helplessness, and the total destitution with which millions of the Irish popu- lace are threatened, we cannot but feel a certain proportion of impatience at the still further adjournment of the pro posed measures, conscious that such an adjournment must retard the administration of relief. This terrible con sideration has been insisted upon by one Member in characters of fire. " I tell you," said the Hon. Gentleman, " that thousands and tens of thousands are pining, and faint ing, and dying; and it is no answer to say that the misery has not reached Bel,grave-square." Legislative intellect however cannot be propelled by any discoverable kind of steam-argument : the agricultural dullards—no less sluggish in utterance than in the reception of improvements—must have their opposition filtered out in infinitessimal drops, even to the dregs; their vituperation upon the great statesman whom they are now pleased to stigmatise as a renegade, must be meted in tardy instalments, and even thos instalments must be, so to speak, mere driblets. Hence, a certain amount of resignation is incumbent upon every in dividual who Krutinises the various harangues delivered by the representatives in the House of Commons—procras tination is inevitable, and as such, it must be endured. Animated, then, with these sentiments, it is with a mix ture cf pleasure and regret that we meditate over each night's discussion, and note their different peculiarities. Not the least remarkable resumption of the adjournment was the one commenced on Tuesdly night by Lord JOHN MANNERS, in a somewhat temperate, but likewise a somewhat unsatisfac tory, address, and concluded by his railway majesty Mr. GEonon HuosoN, in language apparently intended for the assassination of Mr. LINDLEY Munrav's latest editor. But these did not constitute the peculiarities alluded to, neither did they consist in the thrice-told sarcasms of Mr. Sit.tw, or in the nautical facetiousness of Sir CHARLES NAPIER. The great feature of the evening—the feature by which it became conspicuous amongst its predecessors—was the circumstance of the League having at length mingled in the conflict of tongues, having at length broken its " sullen silence," having at length descended among the rhetorical gladiators of the Commons. And this first thrust, as it were, of their intentions within the echoes of the Parliament House was allotted to Mr. BRIGHT, owing to the unfortunate _ _ . . indisposition which has excluded the Hon. Member for Stock port just as his earnest and unmitigated exerticns were driving matters to a consummation. Still, maugre the crushing and solid reduplication of facts by which Mr. COB DEN'S oratory acquires such extraordinary influence, the opening speech of the Anti-Corn-law Leaguers could scarcely have been more chivalrous, more imperative, more dignified, and honest and magnanimous than it proved to be under the auspices of Mr. BRIGHT. In it that Honour able Gentleman excelled himself; the singularity cf his position, as he rose to address the (miscalled) Oppositionists and Ministerialists, seemed to animate him to an unwonted pitch of rhetorical excellence ; his periods were, as usual, adroitly and elegantly turned ; but, in addition to this, they alternately glittered with satire, and burnt with energy, and thrilled with a tone even occasionally pathetic- Nor was there anything forced or conventional in his speech ; he became effective without apparent labour, and never ap peared to strive for the attention of his auditors. And indeed this very aspect of being spontaneous and unaffected lent to each opinion its principal interest. There is some thing absolutely noble, there is something admirable, there is something great in the pure and generous eloquence with which the lion. Member eulogised his former antagonist. the courageous, the large-spirited, and now popular Sir ROBERT PEEL. "I watched the Right Honourable Baronet go home on luesday night," said Mr. BRIGHT, " and I confess I envied hint the ennobling feelings which must have filled his breast after delivering that speech—a speech, I venture to say, more powerful and more to be admired than any speech ever heard in this House within the memory of any man in it." This was no idle compliment, it was no ebullition of sycophancy, it was no favour-currying laudation, it was full-hearted, it was unstudied, it was most strictly deserved. And in a subsequent passage we discover a death blow to the incessant recrimination hurled at the devoted head of the Premier ; a few simple syllables, in which the jeers of Messieurs the Protectionist s are smothered up for ever. When the Right Hon. Baronet resigned." said he, " he was no longer your Minister; he came back to office as the Minis ter of the SOVEREIGN, as the Minister of the people, and not again as the Minister of a class, who made him such for their own special and private objects." As such—namely, as a statesman actuated simply and ostensibly for the good of his country, for the just main tenance of the consitution, for the integrity of the empire, the confidence of the Monarch, and the general happiness of all classes of the people—we honour the heart and admire the in tellect of the Prime Minister ; while as a man animated with purely liberal sentiments, and as one ready to acknowledge justice in whatever rgat b she may assume, Mr. BRIGHT has no insignificant place in our estimation. With men thus tired with a feeling of competition in the cause of humanity and right legislation, measures like the one proposed by Sir ROBERT are assuredly not to be retarded. We have accounts from Madrid of the 10th, but they fur nish no additional information respecting the dissolution of the Ministry. It would appear, however, from various ru rnours that a difference of opinion in the Cabinet respecting the QUEEN'S marriage, bad led to this result. The Funds were flat. On the 10th the Three per Cents. closed at 32V,, and the Five per Cents. at 23 5-16 at 60 days. The Paris papers, in the absence of any question of interest in the French Chambers, are chiefly occupied with the debates in the House of Commons on the corn-laws. Most of them give summaries of the speeches, with comments, in which they assert that the argument is all on the side of the Go vernment, and that Sir R. PEEL, on a division, will be a s triumphant in numbers as he is morally strong. " It appears," says the Journal des Debats, " that from time to time some member of the Government or of the former Opposition, which has at present become the majority, rises to break the monotony of the complaints which the vanquished console themselves by raising from time to time. It appears that the discontented Members collect in a corner of the House, from whence they keep up a brisk fire at the impassable bench of Ministers, which, however, causes more noise than mischief. When any of their party resumes his seat after having hurled his flowerless thunderbolt, a dozen others rise immediately to speak. These, however, may be considered the last dying efforts of a party, and produce as it were funeral ora t ions upon themselves, and upon their lost child—protection." The Courrier Francais states, from what it calls an authentic source, that " the English Cabinet has proposed to the French Government the opening of conferences with the view of settling in a final way the situation of Mexico, which greatly excites the solicitude of England, especially since the very serious differences recently arisen between her and the United States." This is extremely probable. In the independence of Mexico, England and France are equally interested, arid some Eteps must be immediately taken to put a stop to the encroachments of the United States. The Moniteur publishes a royal ordonnance, by which Captain TItEIIOUAIIT is promoted to the rank of Rear-Admi ral, upon the report and recommendation of the Minister of the Marine, in consequence of his gallant conduct in the attack upon the batteries of the Obligado in the Parana, on the 20th November last, in conjunction with the English naval forces. Admiral MacKAU, in recommending this offi cer for promotion, makes these remarks : " I have the henotir of 1 the attack directed, on the 20tnn'i f Captain Trehouart, relative to reports of Rear-Admiral ta a l e n t : g . a under the eyes of your Majesty the ^ae y o o , c.n a d the Parana.

In the comma nd of the last ex p edition, Trehouart distinguished himself amongst all hy his energetic demeanour, his resolution, and sang Mid. yis brilfiant conduct on that glorious worthy of being promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral." occasion induced Itear-Adtrural Lainc to recommend him as etni nenotnly Monday, at eleven o'clock, the Duchess of NEMOUIts was safely delivered of a Princess, at the Tuileries. The following important intelligence appears in a letter from Berne of the 12th inst. : situation wh e4ll hich the vote n a r y sitting, to take into consideration the " The Grand Cou ncil of Berne assembled to-day, in an extraordi- TOTI coastitutio, had preiluced Ott decided, after of the primary assemblie s of February 1, relative to the revision of discussion, by a majority of 129 votes to 25, that it would confide the revision of the constitution to a constituent assembly, named directly by the people. To-morrow the Grand Council will discuss the in stitution of the constituent and the form of election. The project proposes a deputy for 3,000 souls, which would raise the number of &pities to 138. The Ultra•Montane cantons, frightened at the popu lar victory in the canton of Berne, are about to meet in a new con ference, and to which they have invited the two liberal cantons of Soleure and Tessin°. Both have refused the invitation in peremp tory terms."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 1,500 to 2,000 bales. There was no change in prices. Shares continued inactive generally. Much alarm had beau excited at Liverpool by the occurrence of a bad lire, but fortunately the flames were confined to the original building, a cotton warehouse. At length there is official information supplied as to the real amount that has been lodged with the Accountant-General, on ac count of new railway shares. And truly has the " leading morning journal" been wide of the mark. At first, as our readers must be perfectly aware, the statement was (as per the autho rity quoted) that from twenty-five to thirty millions ster ling would be absorbed as deposits. Then changing its tone, 5,000,0001. only would be required ; and, then again, from 14,000,000/. to 15,000,0001. And, after all, it turns out, as the official returns mentions, that the total sum paid into the hands of the Ac countant-General, for the purposes represented, is 11,000,0001., and raker over. Of this comparatively small amount (previous exag gerations of course being considered), about 1,000,0001. has been invested in Stock and Exchequer-bills. There are no late arrivals in the City to-day. A further reaction has taken place in the public securities this morning, notwithstanding there has been the regular purchases of Government brokers on account of the reduction of the National Debt, and for the Savings' Banks. Consols for the Account, after having been done at 95%, ;have improved to 96, while for immediate transfer the value is 95%. This shows most unquestionably that cash is somewhat tight. The premium upcn Exchequer-bills has ranged from 365. to 395. There have been some heavy sales made this morning. The fall in the Three per Cents. Reduced has been from 96% 34 to 96% only, and the New Three.ami-a-Quarter per Cents., after having receded to 97%, have rallied to 9834. Bank Stock opened at 208%, and is now 207%. ♦ good deal of business has been transacted in the Mexican and the Brazilian Stocks to-day. The former have fluctuated from 3034 to 31 and the latter have gone back from 83% to 823. Peru vian Bonds are a shade lower. Russian Five per Cents. have been sold at 112, and the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 5934 14. Not a single bargain has been made in Spanish Stock this morning. The demand for Railway Shares is not brisk to-day. The latest prices are given in the usual place. ONE CLOSING BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES.

S Foljambe, Esq., of Osberton Hall, in consequence of his unhappy loss of eye-sight, declined to be put in nomination again. Had not this been the case, there is but little doubt of his having been returned. In 1837 he was only beaten (without a shilling bribe on his part) by a majority of 84. Since then the register, on the part of the Liberals, has been very much improved ; and, besides, a different opinion and feeling prevails amongst the electors generally now than at that period.—From a Correspondent. THE EUTERPEON SOCIETY.—The members of this Society gave their fifth grand concert on Tuesday evening, at the City Lecture Theatre, Milton-street, Fore-street. The concert was in two parts, the first consisting of selections from Handel's Judas Mac caberts, and the second selections from the works of the most emi nent composers of the present day. The professionals present were Mrs. Newton, Miss Chambers, Mr. Leffler, and Mr. Turner. The band and chorus were efficient. Mr. W. Blagrove was the leader, and Mr. Holderness the conductor. The entertainment was evi lently appreciated by a numerous and respectable audience. GREAT FIRE.—LIVERPOOL, FEB. 1 7. —At two o'clock this afternoon an alarming fire broke out in a corn and cotton ware house, in a street called the Rack Gorge, in which all the buildings are large warehouses. It originated in the third store, in which some porters had been employed before flintier, and as they were prohi bited to work except by the light of locked lantherus, it is supposed that some of them must have been smoking and left a pipe behind them. The flames were very rapid, and in a few minutes the fire ascended through the four upper stories, threatening all the ware houses on each side, and opposite. In the rear there was nothing but warehouses ; these were in no danger. The fire police, with se veral powerful engines, under the command of Mr. Dowling and Mr. Hewitt, were promptly on the spot, but were compelled to direct their whole efforts to prevent the fire from extending. Fortunately, the warehouse itself, as well as those on each side, were what are called fire-proof, that is between each building arose a wall three feet above the roof, and this most effectually protected the adjoining roofs, and enabled the firemen to play, under their directions, on the flames. In less than twenty minutes the warehouse was completely gutted. It was the property of Mr. llarbord, and was filled with cotton, corn, sugar, and tallow. All the parties are insured, and the loss will not exceed 20,0001.

The first half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Blackwell Extension Railway was held, at twelve o'clock yesterday, at the London Tavern. The meeting was made special, for the purpose of considering the propriety of amalgamating with the Blackwell Company. A great number of proprietors were present. J. M. Darnell in the chair. The report, which was read by the secretary, Mr. Kennell, stated that the original design of the promoters of this Company was, that the line should form a part of the London and Blackwell Railway. In conformity with this design, the shares in the capital were allotted amongst the proprietors of the Blackwell Railway, by which means an union between the two Companies has already been established, and it only remains to ratify that union in the manner directed by the provisions of the Act of Parliament. The accounts showed a balance of 17,9991. 7s. 9d. A resolution assenting to the agreement, on the understanding that one share in the extension should represent three in the original line, was adopted. The eighth half-yearly meeting of the directors and shareholders of the Blackwell Railway was then held, Mr. Damell also presiding. The report set forth that the result of the half-year enabled the directors to congratulate the shareholders on the prospects of the undertaking. The net profits of the past year had exceeded those of the previous year by upwards of 4,300/„ so that the dividend which they would declare would be Is. 6d. per share more than that for merly declared. The passenger returns showed a falling off in num bers during the past half-year, but that falling off was almost con fined to the new traffic; but there had been an i nc r e ase in the re ceipts from the stations, or business traffic of the line. Annual and season tickets had been issued since the commencement of the year. Tiro Bills for railways were before Parliament ; one was the London and South Essex, and the other, the East and West India Dock and Birmingham Junction Railway. The last, passing through the densely populated suburbs, Camden-town, Islington, Holloway, and Hackney, is intended to join the Blackwell Railway near the West India Dock station, and will thus give great facilities to the inhabi tants of those districts for communicating wills the City and the river. The London anti South Essex Railway in intended to join the Blackwell Railway at Stepney, and there can be no doubt that a large additional traffic must by this means be obtained. Inde pendently of the different populous localities in the vicinity of the m. tropolis which would seek this channel of communication, this route between Gravesend and the City will be the shortest and most accessible, a steam ferry being established across the Thames at Tilbury ; and the facility of communication, • afforded by this line, will snake Southend a favourite place of resort. They had agreed with the directors of the Eastern Counties Company that passengers and goods should be conveyed to their station at Shore ditch, when the junction with that railway at Bow should take place. The directors, acting under the advice of Mr. Locke, had applied to Parliament for power to widen the line from Stepney to Fenchurch street ; the shareholders would not be called upon to contribute the capital necessary for this purpose, unless the directors were satisfied t'iat they could obtain such an increase of Verne as would amply remunerate the outlay. The revenue account exhibits a balance available for distribution of 6,552/. Is. 3d., out of whirls the directors recommend the declaration of a dividend of 2s. 6d. per share, clear of income-tax, leaving 363/. 10s. to the credit of the present half year. The net balance was 6361. 3s. 10d. The report, and a resolution assenting to the amalgamation wills the Extension line, were agreed to. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to a number of questions, stated that the directors had done all in their power to reduce the working expenses to the lowest rate ; that the accounts had been carefully audited ; and that they were doing all in their power for the benefit of the shareholders. In his address he stated that, viewing the line as an Isolated one, with a terminus close to Greenwich and Woolwich, they never could expect it to remunerate them for the large capital which they had expended ; and even the traffic from these places, on account of the cheap water conveyance, had greatly diminished, l its total withdrawal was threatened. However, he anticipated great results from their junction with the Eastern Counties, and for the extension of which they had sought the sanction of Parlia ment. The South Essex line would be most beneficial, inasmuch as it would bring a great amount of traffic on their line. After referring to other minor topics, lie concluded by expressing his belief that their prospects were now more favourable than ever. Several gentlemen having addressed the meeting, a dividend of 2s. Gd. per share for the half-year was declared, and made payable on and after the sth day of March next. A vote of confidence and thanks to the directors for their exertions was carried, and after the transaction of sonic other business, the meeting separated. , c THE SUN" EXPRESSES.

TRUE BENEVOLENCE. — Yesterday afternoon, as a carriage containing three ladies was proceeding through St. Clement's Churchyard, a boy ran out suddenly from behind the churchyard railings, and before the coachman ceuld pull up was knocked down by the near horse. Fortunately he derived no serious injury from the collision, and scrambling up he ran to the kerb stone and began to cry out lustily. The carriage was stopped almost immediately, and having returned to the spot its fair occupants displayed the most anxious solicitude as to the injuries the boy had sustained. After a careful examination by the more active of the bystanders, it appeared that the boy had suffered no injury beyond a few slight bruises. As he, however, still cried aloud, and appeared alarmed, one of the ladies desired the footman to place the boy in the carriage, which having been done, she immediately drove with him to the nearest surgeon, where he received every requisite attention, in ad dition to a handsome gratuity. The carriage belonged to Mrs. Somes, the widow of the late Mr. Somes, the shipowner, and that lady was its inmate, with her two sisters, when the accident occurred. SUDDEN DEATH OF THOMAS PERRINS, ESQ.—Yes terday morning the inhabitants of Chelmsford were startled by the awful information that this esteemed gentleman had died suddenly, at his residence in the Broomfield-road. He attended divine service on Sunday, and while walking in his garden in the afternoon, stated that he felt better than usual ; between eight and nine o'clock yes terday morning, when the servant went to his dressing-room to give him his letters, he was lying upon the floor partly dressed, as if he had sat down in his chair and had slipped from it ; and when Dr. Miller and Mr. Cremer, who were instantly called in, arrived, they found he was lifeless. The awful occurrence has spread a gloom over the town, as the lamented gentleman, who was about sixty years of age, had resided here . for thirty-six years ; and boils in his profession and in private life was esteemed by all for his honour and integrity, and for the peaceful and !neighbourly cast and benevolence of his character. Exactly two months since we recorded the decease of Mrs. Pe rkins, and while yet the void which she has charities ! l e l a s v o o f t t o li e a tow d d nt it ts thisk e e keenly awful felt, death of him who and the sorrow for her l e o s r t s n i s t f h r e c e s h h we sup ported and encouraged her in that work of good to others which won for both the confidence and respect of all around them. —Essex Herald. On Saturday last Mr. Daniel O'Connell, with Mr. John O'Connell, his lady, and two of their eons, visited Chelmsford, by railway, and the presence of the great agitator, who was looking hearty and well, and wore the well-known green repeal cap, ex cited:considerable curiosity amongst the inhabitants. The party took up their temporary quarters at the Black Boy Inn, and, having en gaged Mr. Amery's commodious omnibus, as most convenient for them, they proceeded with four horses to the Nunnery, at New hall, where they remained about three hours. On their return they partook of an excellent dinner, of Mr. Amery's providing, which was calculated to give the Liberator a high opinion of Essex cookery; and the party returned to London seven o'clock train in the even ing.—Essex Herald, DECLINE OF THE DRAMA, OR THE DRAMA.

Payne, Esq., held a protracted inquiry in the hoard-room of Guy's Hospital, en the body of Mathew Bowles Alt, aged fifteen years, son of the late Captain Alt, R.N. The deceased young gentleman was heir to a large fortune, and resided with his mother on Chester-terrace, Lambeth-road. John Phillips, Bo rough-road, deposed that on Saturday afternoon last, about half past two o'clock, he was standing about four doors from the British and Foreign School in that read, and saw a town cart on the oppo site side of the way. The carman had gone into a public-house, and when he came out, the horse suddenly started off. The carman pursued it and caught hold of the shaft, hut was forced away by the animal's increasing speed. The deceased at this moment ran up to the horse and laid hold of him, but was immediately thrown, the right wheels passing over his body. The unfortunate young gentleman was conveyed in a cab to the hospital. The house-surgeon proved that death was the result of the injuries received from being run over. The deceased expired about a quarter of an hour after his admission. The jury recorded a verdict of '• Accidental death.' BANK OF ENGLAND.—From returns issne.d on Monday, by direction of the House of Commons, it appears that during the year ending sth January last, equal amounts had been purchased in Exchequer-bills as other Government securities by the Bank of England, and paid off or discharged in that year, leaving nothing undischarged in the hands of the Governor and Company of the Bank on the sth January last, in Exchequer-bills or other Govo-n -ment securities, in their possession.
