The Committee of Management beg to acquaint the Shareholders, that at the General Meeting of this Company, to be held at the London Tavern on APRIL 30, the Votes will be taken according to the amount of scrip held by each shareholder present, or represented by proxy, under the following clause in tho subscribers' agree ment : THE GREAT FRENCH STEEPLE CHASE. (Steward, Count de Vaublanc.) This great sporting event, concerning which so much in• terest has been excited for some time past both in England and France, came off yesterday, in the most brilliant manner. With the single drawback, "that the sun disdained to shine," everything pass e d over i n t h e mos t a dmirable style. The concourse of spectators was such as we never before wit nessed at any race in France, and the long line of carriages seemed of never-ending duration. The country round the Croix-de-Berny, where the race took place, is exceedingly picturesque; hill, wood, and dale, of the most varied cha racter, interspersed with fine villas, beautiful gardens, and groups of cottages, start into view in every direction. The villages of Sceaux, Fontenay-aux-Roses, &c., are in the neighbourhood, and on this occasion they poured cut their inhabitants with extraordinary profusion. Every road was dark with the living masses moving to the centre of attrac tion. The arrangements at the scene of action were excel lently conceived ; stands of various degrees were erected fr the spectators, and ample place was assigned for carriages and horsemen. The ground where the race took place is a fiat, through which the Bievre runs. It is mostly grass land, and is cut at the far end in two places by roads which the horses had to cross. The starting point was a small meadow, right in front of the little stream just mentioned. The winning post was placed precisely opposite the starting-point, so that when the horses cleared the river, they turned suddenly to the left, sailed along up the country, for about two miles, and then, making a circuit, came back on the ground they had before traversed, and raced home past the spot they had started from, and leaving the point where they cleared the stream cn their right. If any one, in fact, were to unrivet a pair of scissors, and taking one of the branches should bend the point to a right angle, the end thus turned being the starting-point, he would have before him a tolerable form of the course. When the horses turn suddenly to the right after crossing the stream, they have to cross several hedges, ditches, another piece of water, and two park walls—in all, nineteen obstacles. Without any being of extraordinary difficulty, there was plenty of work to try a man's nerve, and force a horse to show what was in him. In consequence of the rain, the ground was exceedingly heavy, and some of the horses were greatly distressed at the finish. The bell rang for weighing a little before two, but in consequence of the number of horses, it was near three before the preliminaries had concluded. About a quarter of an hour was occupied with the preparatory gallops in front of the stand, and the greatest anxiety was manifested to view Pioneer, Culverthorpe, and The Roarer. The riders also came in for their share of wonderment—Captain Peel, Mason, M‘Donough, and Oliver being particularly inquired after. At this moment the crowd of sportsmen looking anxiously on not only comprised all the gentlemen of the Paris Jockey Club, but a g-eat number from England. Amongst the latter we perceived Lord Exmouth, Lord Can terbury, Lewd Cantalupe, Sir Massey Stanley, Mr. Ricardo, &c. The Duke de Nemours was also present. The rain had by this time ceased, and every preparation being completed, the horses proceeded round by the bridge to take their place for the start, Pioneer having declared to carry 41b. extra. Handicap fur 10,300 f., added to a sweepstakes of 500 f., half forfeit; and 125 f. only if declared to the Secretary of the Paris Jockey Club, before 11 o'clock at night on March 20. The second horse to receive 1,250 f. from the entries, and the third to receive back his stake. Distance 6,400 metres (about four English miles). 42 subs. Mr. Tilbury's ch h Culverthorpe, I Ist 41b.

Cremieux's ch h Cattonian, list 21b 0 When the word was given to go, they all dashed together at the brook, which The Roarer went over first, Pioneer second, and Culverthorpe third. All the rest cleared it well also, except Cattonian, whose jockey fell. They all went over the second leap, a made fence, with equal success, ex cept Cattonian, who refused, and whose chance was lost. Little Tommy then went in front, and made strong running, followed by Lancet. Discord refused the third leap, and appeared no more in the race. No change of consequence took place till they came to the road, where a sort of jumble took place, all sliding gently down. Culverthorpe here was obliged to hang back, Crcesus, who up to this point had gone a forward horse, but who now appeared distressed, be ing right in his way. At last the Roarer, Lancet, Culver thorpe, Crcesus, Little Tommy, and Scavenger, got clear, the other horses being a little behind. Scavenger refused at the last fence, near the turning flag, and lost ground, but being a speedy horse soon came up again to the others. After getting into the run home, Little Tommy, the Roarer, and Culverthorpe were the only horses that had a chance, and as they neared the winning-post, the Roarer fell behind, and the two others came along neck and neck. They cleared the last fence nearly at the same moment, Culver thorpe being, perhaps, a second in advance, and then set to ter the finish. Little Tommy was, however, outpaced, and Culverthorpe won by about a length and a half. Loud cheering greeted Captain Peel as he walked the winner back to the weighing stand; and it must be acknowledged that he merited the applause, as he rode admirably throughout. The second horse too was capitally jockeyed, and when it is borne in mind that Mr. Vevers is a man of sixty-five years of age, it must be allowed that his nerve and determination are something altogether out of the common run. It was an exceedingly quick race, the time being,two or three seconds over eleven minutes. We have given, the first five or six horses as we saw them come in, the r • t arriving at intervals afterwards. The value of the stales A trifle over 211,0001. After the excitement occasioned - 13 - This crack affair had a little su isided, the bell rang for saddli;* for the second race, with gentlemen riders. It was a very different affair from the other, though not without interest ;also Purse of 1,200 f. added to 250 f. entries, half forfeit. The winner to be claimed for 5,000 f., weight, 1501 b. ; horses valued by the owners at 1,500 f. to carry 1251 b. ; at 2,500 f., 1331 b. ; and 4,000 f. 1541 b. Distance about 4,000 metres (2% miles).

The distance was shorter than in the preceding event, but excepting that the horses did not go so far from home, the ground was the same. They again started in the meadow in front of the judge's stand, and Chandos in front, the Witch well up, and the old horse Repealer (18 years, we understand) behind. Chandos bungled at the third or fourth leap, and lamed himself. The Witch then went on, and Repealer not being able to compete with her in speed was obliged to gi ve i n . Th e Witch went quietly over the ground, and won as she pleased. The arrangements during the day reflect the greatest credit on Count de Vaublauc, the steward. Everything was in perfect order, and from beginning to end he discharged his arduous duties in a most able manner. The sporting men were loud in their praise of his conduct, and a subscription dinner is, we understand, shortly to be given to him as a mark of respect. The return home of the vast crowd to Paris reminded us of an Epsom or Ascot day, and we have not heard of any accident having occurred to mar the pleasure of the day's proceedings.

Resolved unanimously—That the Parishioners of Saint Bennett Fink, in Vestry assembled, in conveying to Mr. John Banister their cordial thanks for the very efficient manner In which he has dis charged the usual duties of Churchwarden during the past year, desire at the same time to record their high sense of the energy and ability with which he has conducted the several other onerous and important matters which have specially devolved upen him during, his term of office. That his fellow parishioners feel under great obligation to him for the firm and judicious manner in which he has watched over the rights, and protected the interests, of the pari-h, during the negotiations with the Corporation of London respecting the demolition of the parish church. For his assiduity in procuring suitable accommodation for the parishioners in the church of Saint Peter le Poer, under circumstances requiring equal promptitude and independence. For his delicate and kind attentions to the wishes of surviving relatives, in the removals and reinterments from the church. For the prudence amid care by which he has prevented expense, and kept down the parish rates and charges. And last, (though not least), for his great urbanity and courtesy to all parties on all occasions. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BATH RACES.—YESTERDAY.

BUCKINGHAMSHIRE AND OXFORD AND BLETCHLEY JUNCTION RAILWAY. Interest guaranteed by the London and Birmingham Company. At the present moment, when public confidence in railway pro jects has been much diminished, and when many of them have been entirely abandoned, the Committee of Management of the above • mentioned undertaking think proper to announce to their subscribers that their expectations of success are entirely unabated. Mature consideration and observation of the circumstances of other railways have only confirmed the Committee in their con viction that the Buckinghamshire Railway is calculated to be profit able to the shareholders, beneficial to the districts through which it will pass, and conducive to the general interests of the country. The Committee, therefore, prosecute their undertaking with every confidence of final success, and advantage to all the parties concerned. H. VERNEY, Chairman of the Committee of Management. Office of the Company, 29, Great George-street, Westminster, April 20, 1846. LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY. The Committee of Shareholders call the attention of the origi nal Subscribers and actual Holders of Scrip in this Company to the advertisements issued on the 16th and 18th instant by the Direc tors of the London and York Company. The first expresses their confidence in obtaining their Bill. This the Committee conceive to be the greatest misfortune that can happen to the Shareholders, as calls must then be made, and the shares be come valueless. The second announces that the attention of the Directors is being " directed to the practicability of treating with any rivals upon terms advantageous to the London and York Shareholders." The Committee give the Directors full credit for the intention thus ex pressed, and have the satisfaction of feeling that the steps they are taking will facilitate the Directors in the attainment of this most im portant object. The holders of many thousand shares have already signified their concurrence in the views which led to the formation of this Corn- Mittee, and as they almost universally express an opinion in favour Of an amalgamation with the Eastern Counties Railway, the Com mittee are directing their attention to this point, and only require the early adhesion of those Shareholders who have not yet replied to the circulars to insure luccess. . The Committee, in reply to many letters received offering pecu niary support, beg to state that being personally holders of nearly 6,000 shares, they decline receiving any subscriptions, and intend bearing all the expenses, unless the Shareholders 1n the London and York line vote their payment from the general funds. By order of the Committee, HENRY PHILIPPS. Committee-Room, No. 4, Sise-lane, Bucklersbary, April 24, 1846.

Balmy, odoriferous, and creamy, its purifying and refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by the Court and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and those of the Conti nent of Europe, together with the "elate" of the aristocracy, and "haute voles."

What is the ground and origin of this report— whether the wish is father to it, or the fear is father to it— whether the Protectionists wish Sir Robert to think that he must resign, or Sir Robert wishes the Protectionists to think that he will resign—whether an immediate dissolution of Parliament is nut a mere blunder for an immediate dissolu t ion of railways, or, after all, the report only expresses that indefinite dissatisfaction with the existing state of things which led Miss Squeers to exclaim, " I wish I was dead—l wish all the world was dead"—it is not necessary for us to decide. The report exists, and is put about with diligence. The question is propounded. Something is to be gained, it is thought, by looking upon the event as possible. As the question is forced upon us, we have scarcely an alternative but to reply. It is by no means an edifying theme. When there is nothing else to talk of, the public generally be gins to talk of a dissolution, just as some men, whenever they have nothing elso to do, immediately begin to think of apoplexy, suicide, and such horrors. In fact, every time within these twenty years that things have come to a standstill, there has been a report of a dissolution. Any body, without an opinion in his head, can venture an esti mate of the odds fcr or against that casualty. Perhaps it is beside the question to ask who is to gain by a dissolution? The Miss Squeers who suggests the idea has probably given up all thought of gain. It is enough that somebody would lose something; or, if not damaged, will be at least disgraced; or, if not disgraced, yet stigmatised. The vision of a dozen agricultural constituencies, in addition to th ose w hi ch have already changed their Members, turning out four-and -twenty "apostates," with an immense deal of pother, with much bluster and invective, sad giving us in their stead four-and twenty raw young men who have yet to apostatise, is enough to console these satisfied dreamers for the absence of any tangible advantage. Sir Robert Peel would "get it." Many speeches would be made and circulated at a penny a piece. Many prophecies would be uttered. Heaps of statistics 'and. PARLIAIty m V ISIONS.

The following are the resolutions to be proposed on Thurs day, April 23d, at the time of private business, by Sir Robert Peel : I. That this House will not read a third time any Bill to empower any company (whether intended to be incorporated by such Bill, or already incorporated by Act of Parliament) to construct a railway, unless three clear days before the third reading, there shall have been deposited at the Private Bill-office, there to be open to the inspection of allyartics, certificate signed and authenticated in a manner - hekeinaffer mentioned, and comprising the particulars hereinafter ex; pressed, and stating the following facts, &c. 1. That a copy of the Bill was submitted to the con sideration of a meeting of the. scripholders of the com pany, or (in case of a company already incorporated) Of the shareholders or stockholders of the company, spe cially called for that purpose, 2. That such meeting was called by advertisements, inserted once in each of two consecutive weeks in the London Gazette (if the railway be an English or Scotch railway), in the London and Dublin Gazettes (if the railway be an Irish railway), and in each case, in at least three London daily newspapers, and not less than three times in each such paper, in each of such two con secutive weeks. 3. In the case of the company being intended to be incorporated by the Bill :—That such meeting was con stituted of persons producing thereat, scrip of the com pany representing not less than one-third part of the whole capital proposed to be raised by the company under the Bill (such scrip having been actually issued, or the deposits in respect thereof having been paid before the 31st of March in the present year. ) 4. In the case of the company being already incor porated :—That such meeting was held, except so far as is herein otherwise provided, according to the constitu tion of the company, and was constituted of shareholders or stockholders thereof competent to vote at the ordi nary meetings of the company, and representing either personally or as proxies not less than one-third part of the whole capital or stock of the company. 5. That at such meeting the Bill was approved of by persons producing thereat scrip equal to at least three fifths of the total amount of scrip produced at the meeting; or, in the case of a company already incorpo rated, by three-fifths at least of the meeting, the votes being given and computed according to the constitution of the company. 11. That for the purposes of this order it shall be compe tent for the chairman of any meeting called in pursuance thereof, in the event of the above prescribed quorum of scrip shares or stock (as the case may be) not being represented at such meeting, to cause the votes of the persons consti tuting the said meeting, approving or not approving of the Bill, to be taken and recorded, and then to adjourn the same to some day, hour, and place to be declared by the chairman, such day not being less than three days, and not more than one week, from the original day of meeting; and such day, hour, and place being in the meantime advertised twice in each of three London daily newspapers; and at such adjourned meeting it shall also be competent to the chairman thereof to cause to be taken and recorded the votes of such of the persons constituting the same as have not voted at the original meeting; and the total amount of votes given at the original and adjourned meeting shall be received as if given at one and the same meeting. 111.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]-BOTANIC WATER AND BEAU'S GREASE.—When the hair is becoming thin, and falling off, the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above-named articles, applied alternately—the bo tanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf and as a stimulant, and the bear's grease as a nourisher. If any further evidence was required of the virtues of bear's grease for renovating and preserving the hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the North Ame rican Indians, would be a sufficient answer. Ross and Sons, 119, and 120, Bishopsgate-street, who first introduced the ti=e of bear's grease in this country, and who fat and kill the ani mals, recommend the public to purchase none other but with their names and address printed on the pot, or the chances are their obtaining a spurious article. All vegetable oils applied to the hair are worse than useless. _ _ DARING HOTEL ROBBERY.—Yesterday information was circulated throughout the police divisions of the following daring robbery having been committed at the Adelaide Hotel, Loudon bridge:—lt appears that a man, of respectable appearance, about thirty years of age, about five feet seven inches high, had been stay ing four nights at the hotel, and left about half-past eight o'clock yesterday morning. After his departure it was discovered that two of the bed-rooms in the hotel had been entered and robbed; one the occupation of M. Baumgarten, of a gold watch ; the other in the occupation of M. Dahmens, from which also a gold watch had been stolen, financial statements would be collected for the benefit of those who are ignorant of facts, and not versed in arith metic. Tamboff and New Orleans, the Vistula and the Ohio, would again become names of terror. We should have a Saturnalia of apochryphal facts and impossible estimates. In the midst of the clamour there would perhaps be a dozen victories ; though, perhaps, on the contrary, there would not be one. But granting the said dozen victories, whose would be the gain, whose the loss, in the day of reckoning? What would the Protectionists have gained by a dissolution? It is due to public peace and quiet not to canvass electioneering probabilities till the occasion actually arises. It is rather an American than an English usage to keep the elective contest always on foot. Therefore we will not attempt to go through the counties, and cities, and boroughs, in anticipation of a new Parliament. We expressed at the time a gentle demur as to the wisdom and taste of Mr. Cobden's masterly and hitherto unanswered review of the British constituencies. But we certainly do not see where the Protectionists can hope to find the means of turning the scale in another Parliament.. Why do they not favour us with the names of the constituen cies that are to settle the business? They talk of the 112. A balance of 56 changes in their favour, therefore, will be sufficient, not indeed to decide the question in favour of protection,. but to brin g th e L eg i s l ature to a standstill. Where will you get your 56? Name, name, name ! How many cities and boroughs have been lately converted to the sliding-scale? But your t rus t i s i n the counties—the English counties. They have already done almost their worst. They have left no margin for extraordinary efforts. All the county seats will be insuffici en t f or th e purpose. But even in the counties, and much more in the boroughs, the change has been all the other way. The very farmers have either come quite round, or given in, or got s i c k o f the ques tion altogether. Anything for peace and qui e t," b ut the chance of peace so long as the existing law is unrepealed they know to be small indeed. Every week, too, has been helping to disabuse them of their alarms. They no longer believe that wheat will settle at 355., or fluctuate between 20s. and 100 s. They no longer think that there is or will soon be too much food in the world. They no longer think it the order of nature, and the decree of Heaven, that Irishmen should eat nothing but potatoes. They daily witness the phenomenon of landlords demanding anin crease of rent, and, what is more, obtaining it without any difficulty. Land, also, sells better than ever. The funds are by no means so high as they have been within this year or two. Shares have fallen, scrip has become worth less, but land retains its value. In the face of these facts it is scarcely possible to maintain with a grave face that the landlord is ruined. There are ruined landlords—there are landlords that were never anything else than ruined men— there are landlords who have fled their country; and who, like Coriolanus among the Volsci, consume their days in melancholy exile at Paris or Rome. But they cannot ac cuse rest of their ruin. Rent has been true to them, were they only true to it. Their misfortunes are beyond the reach of legislation. They would be equally unfortunate, equally poor, equally in debt, equally banished, if wheat were at 100 s. instead of 565., and if the corn•law, instead of being a slip of paper, were an eternal necessity. The tenants of these unfortunates know very well what rent they have paid, do pay, and will pay. They know that if they asked for a reduc tion en the strength of Peel's measures, they would only be laughed at. With so little to encourage even from the most friendly quarter, what is it that the Protec tionists hope to gain from the dissolution ? What at least beyond two or three stray triumphs, counteracted by many more defeats, and the ephemeral plea sure of agitati , tion, misrepresentation, and abuse, of indulging without stint in false logic, false facts, false statistics, false finance, false politics during the hubbub of a general election? They would find these a poor compensation for the all but certain result,—either one or the other object of their wrath securely settled in the seven years' lease of a Parliament to his mind. -The chaptee-ef accidents may do much, if not to accomplish their views, at-least to-satisfy their vengeance, in the course of this and the following session. Peel may have fallen by his own weight before the winter of 1847. New questions may then have arisen fatal to Lis cause on the registry and the hustings. A dissolution niny is a dissolution on the corn law. A Parliament elected now will be a free-trade Parlia ment ; and if, for the comfort of the agriculturists, the story of the late Westminster election should be repeated a hundred times over, the result will be only more permanently, more decidedly, and more offensively adverse to the feelings and supposed interests of the aristocracy. MR. BUNN'S BENEFIT.—The evening of Monday next is fixed for the benefit of the enterprising impresario of the Theatre Royal Drury-lane. The opera of 71faritana, which has secured to Mr. Vincent Wallace a foremost rank among British composers, will be performed on that occasion, and Mr. Wallace will himself preside in the orchestra. A concert will follow, in which the fascinating Anna Thillon will sing a cavatina from Rossini's Barbiere di Seviglia. Mademoi selle Rummel, of whose fame as a singer all Germany is rife, will make her first appearance before a British audience, and will sing the celebrated aria, "A non credea," from L a Son nambula. The Ethiopian Serenaders will give some of their most popular melodies. Monsieur Francois Prume, the cele brated Belgian violinist, will play his " Fan tasie Fantastique," and Mr. Harrison and the Misses Homer and Rainsforth will give some of the choicest morcean.z from the operas of the Daughter of &t. Marh and the Crusaders, the cheft . d'aurre of Balfe and Benedict. A divertissement will follow, in which Mademoiselle Sali, Mr. Mathis, and the elite of the corps de ballet will appear. Such a bill of fare is alone sufficient to attract a crowded house, but even were the entertainments less attractive, every lover of the lyrical will be glad to seize the opportunity of testifying his gratitude to one who, through evil report and good report, has for the last ten years laboured hard to found an English school of opera, and who has at length, by overcoming difficulties innumer able, gone far towards succeeding in his endeavour, as the operas of Balfe, Benedict, and Wallace will testify; and be it remembered that each of these now celebrated composers are indebted to Mr. Bunn for their first introduction to the British public. Piticic OF GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris is 15 per mile, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10%d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 26 52% ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 72!,4, it fol lows that gold is 0.78 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advises from Hamburgh the pries of gold is 436 per mark. which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13105 ; and the exchange at Ham burgh on London at short being 13 11 1 4, it follows that the price of gold is 0.34 per cont. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on Loudon Is 109 per b ee en t., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 . 23-4 , lp . e ia r ild eent . , But it the g follows t d e lt h a e t h h a e n gexchangew York g r is 0..58 per bin cen t . against b i ils r at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted treattreat the above d generally been supposed flia- w- , LIABILITIES OF rtAtlLS,VetYparStlliesAcEoElployL,DiEthltS.th—o demand — It has . a nd contribution towards expenses, the whole affair with hea an understandin g n r d a e i r l,: ta ay nding companiestfa t this for e ends n ds c t o he t i r r i may be looked upon as terminated. Many persons have thought of resisting these demands, but none seem to have thought that COM pliance would lead to further applications. A. case stated by one of the provisional committee of the Midland Grand Junction Railway Company throws a new light on the subject. The party in question, according to his own account, paid for his quota of expenses Use sum of 501. on receiving from the secretary an assurance that the boas d of management would use their best endeavours to protect him from further claims. This took place in January, and the party, far from supposing that the sum would be insufficient, was under the impres sion that a part would ultimately be returned. A day or two ago he received another letter, demanding the further sum of 501., on the ground that other liable parties had neglected to pay. With this re quest our correspondent candidly owns he does not mean to comply, and he expresses a hope that others in a similar situation will pursue the same course. The lesson to be derived from the case by the public in general is, that it is by no means safe to comply with any Of the applications for money, which are now so frequent, under a belief that all thither liability will be thereby avoided. SUGAR. —Last night's Gazette contains a notice to the effect that her Majesty, by and with the advice of her Privy Council, orders that from and after the Ist day of May next ensuing the date , hereof, brown Muscovado, or clayed sugars (not being refined), the growth of the dominions of the republic of New Granada, shall, if imported from the dominions of the said republic, or from any British possession abroad having been imported into such British possession from the said dominions, be admitted to entry for consumption into the United Kingdom at the respective rates of duty of 11. Bs. and it. 3s. 4d. per cwt. respectively; subject, nevertheless, to the production of the like certificates, and the making of the like declaration, as are in the said Act re qu i re d wit's respect to sugars the growth of China, Java, or Manilla. KING'S COLLEGE, LONDON.—Yesterday the theolo gical department of the College, established for the purpose of train ing young men as candidates for holy orders, was opened for the first time, the bishops having consented to receive the students who have passed the curriculum, without requiring 'hem to graduate at Ox ford or Cambridge. The course is to embrace divinity in all its branches ; and before a student can obtain the honorary certificate from the principal, necessary before he can present himself to the bishop, he will be required to go through six terms, extending over two years, at an expense of twelve guineas a term. The persons who will he admissible are graduates of Oxford, Cambridge, or Dur ham, associates of King's College, and all such persons who, haviii;., passed a satisfactory examination In classics' by the principal, stall obtain the recommendation of a bishop. The following clergymen have been appointed the Professors of Divinity:—The Rev. Dr. Al`Caul, rector of St. James's, Dake-place ; the Rev. F. D. Alaurice, chaplain of Guy's Hospital; and the Rev. F. C. Trench, examining chaplain to the Bishop of Oxford. EXTRA( RDINARY SUICIDE Br A BOY.—On Tuesday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Lord Nelson, Nicol's. row, Church street, Shoreditch, on the body of William Thomas ' , fuss, aged Mile years, who destroyed himself under the following circumstances: — The deceased resided with his mother at No. 16, Vincent-street, hi this neighbourhood ; his father having absconded from his home about four years since, and no &BITS of him had been since learned. The deceased was always considered a very mild-tempered child, and never exhibited any appearances of mental aberration. On last Sunday forenoon he asked his mother for a halfpenny to purchase an India-rubber ball of ono of his playmates. Ile was refused, and after sitting awhile in a chair in a sullen manner, he suddenly rose and left the room. In less than five minutes afterwards a little boy tbund him hanging by a rope which was passed round his neck and fastened to the bannister of the stairs leading from his mother's room. He was cut down instantly, and Mr. Woolf, a surgeon, was called in, who tried every means for upwards of twoeuheotuttres htoealretshtoraet life, but ineffectually. Verdict, " Temporary insanity." The. Hon. Miss Willoughby, daughter of Lord an d Lady Willoughby D'Eresby, continues in very d Brighton, where the family are remaining, P~ PUGILISM. FIGHT BETWEEN SAMUEL MARTIN AND BAR NASH, OF WESTMINSTER, FOR 251. A SIDE. These representatives of the fistic schools of London and Westminster met yesterday at Woking-common, on the South-Western line, to settle the difference of opinion exist ing between themselves and their respective admirers, as to which was the more skilled and accomplished in the art pugilistic, offensive and defensive. After the usual prelimi naries, the paraphernalia of the ring being duly arranged, the men exchanged an earnest grasp of the hand, threw themselves into attitude, and the trial began. The weights of the men were within a pound or two of each other ; namely, Barnash, 9st. 61b. ; Marti n , 9 s t. 41b . F or the first hour and a quarter, in which time only seventeen rounds were contested (the last consuming sixteen minutes), the scales alternately preponderated. Now Barnash, by superior strength, and not-to-be-denied game, boring down or rush ing over his adversary, and at others fighting cunning, by direction of his seconds; at other times 'Martin succeeded in drawing, then jobbing or upper-cutting his man with telling effect. Yet so good was the condition of both, that little marking took place, and the amount of punishment seemed pretty equally divided. Soon after the 26th round, however, Martin succeeded in stepping on to his man once or twice, besides screwing him up for fibbing on the ropes, appeared to acquire - renewed confidence ; or, what was better, s econ d w i nd, and waited for the NVest-- miuster hero, whom he punished by up hits, with both hands, but especially the right on the ear, for his rash rushes and wild sallies. Towards the 36th reund it was clear that this pinking and upper-cutting was doing its work, for Barnash grew wilder and wilder in his onslaughts, receiving increas ing pepper. In the 37th round, Martin having Barnash on the ropes they were cut. In the 38th and 39th the West minster Champion, game to the last, merely came up to re ceive. Two hours and twenty-three minutes had elapsed. An appeal was now made to the referee, who desired the men to proceed ; and at this moment the ropes were cut in several places, and the stakes torn up. That gentleman refused his fiat, unless regularly appealed to by the umpires. One of them (as well as the time-keeper) was absent, and his deci sion was postponed until to-morrow (this day), when he will meet both umpires, and state his ultimatum. After the lapse of about two minutes, Barnash was brought on the ground where the ring had been, and three more scrambling rounds took place, which went for nothing, as they were a piece of gratuitous amusement. The conduct of those who broke the ring was disgraceful, and must add another nail to the wooden surtout in which pugilism (unless a Fair play Club is formed) must era long sleep its last long slumber. -------- - IVIARKET NEWS.—(THIS DAY.)

STEAM NAVIGATION.—The Court of the Incorporated Company of Watermen and Lightermen have issued a second notice, which has been posted along shore, stating that they are ready to grant licenses for steam and sailing boats navigated upon the river Thames between Windsor and Gantlet Creek, regulating the number of passengers to be carried therein. The notice also states that all persons navigating such boats without having obtained such licenses will subject themselves to the penalties mentioned in the bye-laws made by the Court of Aldermen of 'the City of London. O n l y one license has been yet appli e d f or, and we understand the steam-boat companies intend to resist the new bye-laws which regulate the num ber of passengers to be carried 'on board steamers, and alto their ' speed in the crowded parts of the river. The beadles of the Water t, men and Lightermen's Company have received directions to take , out summonses against the masters of steamers ',rho refuse to com ply with the bye-laws. In the event of convictions, the steam-boat companies not only intend to appeal to the quarter sessions, but to question the validity of the bye-laws in the Court of Queen's Bench. The Lord Mayor has expressed his determination to convict In every case that can be made out, and to Inflict the full penalty. Under these circumstances there will probably be a rich Crop of summonses, appeals, and writs a ce_rtioraii. The bye-jaws ontyAllect the steam - •ers navigated by fr . eemen of the,Waiefuron.and Li*litetnifir's Corn pony. The large steamers, undefthe-command of Graqui•Ports men and others, including those on • the. Margate and Ramsgate stations, do not come within the range of the'new laws. 4,, t 5t,' ,4 ' . - VISIT OF THE Ij.EREDITARY .PRINCE OF SAXp max - Mlscie to WooroviCre.—At a trifitlelliat Irefere Wel6cltl4:- terday his Serene Highness the Hereditary Prince Of Saxe-Meiningen, accompanied by Sir A.

MAGDALEN COLLEGE ELECTION.—OXFORD, Apnr 21.—This day Mr. James Barney, B.A. scholar of University Col lege, was elected fellow of 3fagdalen College. THE " STAGS.'—It is rumoured that a distinguished West-end Club, of a strong political character, and which numbers among its members numerous Parliamentarians, have had recently within their walls some very active stags," collected for the pur pose of gathering information respecting the manner in winch many of the railway schemes were concocted, and the parties active therein. Whether the information is desired for Parliamentary use has not transpired. That some very extraordinary details might be procured, supposing parties to be examined who could be believed, few will doubt; and if they could only be obtained and published, perhaps they would show that more unblushing efforts in the " art of money-making" never was practised.
