IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, July 21. In the absence of the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Snerresnuee opened the business of the House by re citing the Bills which stand for a second reading, all of which were forwarded a stage. UNIVERSITY TESTS. The Earl of GALLO WAY presented a petition, signed by the Ministers and Presbytery of Stanraer, against the abolition of the University Tests. THE SEES OF ST. ASAPH AND BANGOR. This Bill went through Committee pro jortncl and was order, d to be read a third time on Thursday. SITES OF CHURCHES IN SCOTLAND. The Marquis of BREADILBANE stated that he wished to call the attention of their Lordships to a peti tion of which he had given notice. The petition ema nated from several different synods of the Free Church in Scotland ; and there were also petitions from other places. There were 135 petitions from different con gregations, making the amount of signatures 18,136. There were 114 petitions from district towns, with 20,904 signatures attached. There were also nine others, with 698 signatures. All those petitions complained of cases of direct interference with the erec tion of their churches. The total number of petitions amounted to 296, and the number of signatures to 39,781. Tee general prayer of all these petitions was to the ef fect that many congregations were prevented from build ing churches by the refusal of the proprietors of land to giant sites, and they wished to have some powers enabling them to purchase ground on reasonable con ditions, in order to erect places for the worship of God. From the great number and respectability of these peti tioners, it might be seen what a general and anxious feeling prevailed on this question in Scotland, and their Lordships must come to the opinion that, however anxious they might be to support the Established Church in that country—however much they might lament the separation which had taken place ; and however unim• portant they might consider the causes which led to the destruction of that chinch -- now that that destruc tion had taken place—that the great bulk of the people of Scotland had seceded from the Establishment— no hindrance should be given to them in the exercise of their religion according to tl - e dictates of their con science. This was in accordance with the prin ciples of the constitution of this country, and also in conformity with the Toleration Act of Scotland. Now, the landholders were, in fact, persecuting the fol lowers of the Free Church, but he would remind them of a great and noble saying of a man who held high office in the sister country, namely, " That in the possession of property there were great ob ligations to be observed, as well as rights to be enjoyed." Now, in their persecution they were forgetting this great principle, and he trusted they would at once see the necessity, as well as the justice, of discontinuing it.—(Cries of "Hear, hear.") He s% ould not detain their Lordships much longer, but he would ask their Lordships to consider this as a matter of policy. The Free Church numbered at least one third of the entire population of Scotland. It was a strong and vigorous religious body, calculated to pro mote the religious and moral education of the people. And he contended that it would be the policy of the Legislature and Government of this country and the landed proprietors of Scotland rather to encourage than discourage them. The number of the congis gations of the Free Church of Scotland was 816, and the number belonging to all the other religious bodies, not connected with the Established Church, was 815. The number of the ministers of the Free Church was 662, and the number of the elders 3,000, who were assisted by 3,000 deacons. In the Lowlands there were 84 con gregations, and in the Highlands 50 congregations. The communicants of the Free Church were 200,000. It was said that there were only 60,000 communicants in the whole of London, with a population of 2,000,000. There were already 600 churches erected, and there were 30 in the course of erection, and 40 were still re quired for the existing congregations. 171 manses were already built, and many more were in the course of erection and intended to be erected. There was also a Free Church college, the funds for the erection of which had been subscribed; it was fur• niched with an efficient body of professors, and would bear comparisen with the first college in the kingdom. The library of the college contained about 30,000 volumes. There were upwards of two hnndred salaried teachers of Free Church schools. There was also a normal school at Edinburgh, which had cost 140,0001. He thought the provisions of the Bill introduced by the Right Hon. Member for Perth (Mr. Fox Maule) so well defined, that no injury could arise from the carrying it into effect. lie only regretted that, instead of being confined to Scotland, it had not been extended to the whole kingdom. He hoped the Noble Lord who represented the Government in that House would be able to make some statement that the Government would be prepared to support any measures that were calcu lated to give effect to the prayer of the petitioners. He would now conclude by pressing on their attention the prayer of the petition. The Marquis of L ANSDOWNE could not let the opportunity , pass without saying that he could not conceive of any Parliamentary measure that should compel the granting of sites for churches without the consent of the possessors of the land. At the same time he expressed the hope that matters would be so arranged that there would be no necessity for ap pll ing to Parliament for a measure to give effect to the obj,cti which the petitioners sought to carry out. After duly considering the circumstances of the case, and the importance of the numerous body from whom the petitions emanated, he was yet unprepared to go into any legislative measures, but be trusted that it would ex cite a disposition in all those connected with the district, and especially in those who were great proprietors, to provide suitable sites where churches might be erected, where the members of this important body of Dissenters might carry on their public worship in a way acordant with their principles, and yet he felt that this movement of the people of Scotland was one which it was difficult to manage, for it affected the church of that country, although it neither interfered with the principles, nor in any way disturbed the discipline, by which its members were governed; and it therefore ought to be respected in such a way that they might not have their consciences needlessly injured. One advantage at least he trusted would result from these petitions, and that was a change in the disposition of the landholders, and that benefit would at least arise to that extent on this, which he did not deny to be a most important subject. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH quite agreed with his Noble Friend, but he must deny the representation of this body of Dissenters, that they had been treated with intolerance, for no religious body could have met with more tolerance than ha the Free Church of Scotland It might be well for them to speak in the gentle terms they now used, but what they desired was nothing more nor less than than this, viz., to take that part of a man's estate which best suited their convenience, whether he desired it or not ; and this they did with great asperity and open hostility, for proof of which reterence need only be made to their own newspaper. As one instance, one distinguished author, and eminent member of the Free Church, had plainly stated his belief that the Church of Scotland was a nuisanse , which ought to be swept from the face of the earth. He always had resented, and always would resent and fight against every interference by any man, or body of men, between him and his tenants or labourers. It was a question entirely between them and himself, and not between strangers, who came from a distance to excite the people against him. If the people were allowed to be quiet, there would be none of this excitement. He had been most unjustifiably attacked, and his conduct had been held up to ridicule and scorn. All he had to state was, he should oppose this measure. The object of the Bill was to en able those parties to take sites wherever they might wish. The measure was most unjust, and if such powers were asked for by any other sect, or by the Established Church, it would be instantly rejected. The Marquis of BREADALBANE wished to ask the Noble Duke, whether upon his own property there had cot been a congregation worshipping in the open air, in the highest place and part of Scotland, ex posed to the cold and severity of the elements for the last two or three years ; and whether these unfortunate members of the Free Church were not miners on his estate, who had asked him repeatedly to give them a site for building a church upon, but up to the present time their request had been refused ? They were so distant from any other place, that they could not obtain any place of worshi unless the Noble Duke granted it upon his property. Tie would also ask the Noble Duke, whether on a part of his property (the parish of Canobie), the members of the Free Church met on a moor, and the Noble Duke took legal means to drive them from that moor ? would ask him take the irroadt,heay did ndwhe h th ° e t r s a r c ee r f a u m g nt o o n f tthh e publicLords' Supper was nut about ttrbe administered in that cross roau?—whether the Noble Duke did not refuse them a suitable site, for they wished to have a centrical situa tion? With regard to the members of the Free Church, the Noble Duke did allow them a tent to worship in, because—gieatly to his credit—he did not think it suitable or proper that they should meet upon the public road, and celebrate public worship. He had stated these facts, because he must ask whether they did not amount almost, it not entirely, to per secution. He said that these members of the Free Church were deprived of the opportunity of removing elsewhere, owing to the great possessions of the Noble Duke, and therefore he ought to grant it to them. In the last ses sion he had presented similar petitions, and the same dis cussion arose with respect to these parishes. The Noble Duke had asserted that the members of the Free Church could go a distance of five or six miles—he asserted that they could go a distance of five miles to worship. He asked if that was a reasonable distance to go to public worship, especially for the , aged and weak, for they too would have to walk a distance of five miles to obtain 'the consolations of religion? There was a fact which occurred the other day. A proprietor of lands in the Western Highlands of Scotland refused to give sites for churches, and what were the people obliged to do ? They were obliged to build iron churches, which they set afloat upon the ocean, and anchored in one of the bays. He did not see why such measures of per secution should be adopted to compel men to change their opinions. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH said that what the Noble Lord had said was perfectly true, but he did not see why this class of Dissenters should be favoured more than any other. lie could not understand why they should object to do what other Dissenters in the pa rish did. SLAVE TRADE. Lord BROUGHAM gave notice th&t. on Friday next he would submit a resolution to their Lordships for the purpose of preventing, directly or indirectly - , th , . African slave trade. PRINCE CZARTOROYSKI. Lord BROUGHAM was desirous to know if the Noble Marquis could state whether the Government TILE StTN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY had received any information relative to the reported con fiscation of Prince Czartoroyski's property in Poland He had no doubt whatever that the Prince disapproved of the attack upon Austria as much as he did himself. In fact every friend of liberty and every enemy to the destruction of human life must do so, for it was a most foolish and insane attack.—(ll , ar, hear.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE made a few observa tions across the table which did not reach the gallery. He was understood, however, to sympathise with the feel ings of the Noble Lord, and regretted the confinement of this prince, who was the representative of one of the most illustrious houses in Europe, as distinguished for its virtues in times of adversity, as for its loyalty in times of prosperity.—(Hear, hear.) Several Bills were advanced a stage, and their Lord ships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, July 21. There being only twenty-six Members present at Four o'clock, the House adj ourned till Twelve o'clock to-morrow PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS. (From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons.) MONDAY, JULY 20.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. On Monday a Court was held, principally for the purpose of discussing the motion of which Mr. Anderton had given.notice at the Court immediately preceding, " That it be a standing order of the Court that the Chamberlain shall not pay out of the Chamber any sum of money for any charges or expenses for any visitation or journey by the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, or any other branch of the Corporation, either for the purposes of conservancy or otherwise, when such visit or journey shall be beyond the boundary of the jurisdiction of the City, without the previous authority of the Common Council upori a motion for that purpose." The notice of motion brought together a large number of the Commners, but the number of Alder _._ men in the Court was very limited throughout the day. A conversation took place upon the subject of the granting of freedoms upon the presentation of the Chamberlain's list of applications; but it was declared to be necessary that notice of motion upon the question should be given previously to die cussiort, and Mr. Wire accordingly gave notice. THE INTENDED TRIP TO OXIFORD. This subject, which had been looked for with very great interest, then came on. Mr. ANDERTON commenced by alluding to what had taker place at the late Court of Common Council, when it was stated that the Court of Aldermen had determined that the Lord Mayor should pay a visit to Oxford, and that the expenses hould be defrayed by the Corporation. The Chief Magistrate had, he submitted to the Court, just as much right to go in his conservancy capacity to Cambridge or Portsmouth, or any other place in which his jurisdiction was not known. The Mayor of any one of these places might as well come in to the lower district of the Thames to perform the duties of his (Alice, and would not excite more surprise by his intrusion. After having adverted to the occasions on which conservancy visitations had been made within the last thirty or forty years, Mr. And rton peremptorily denied the right of the Court to decide, that the Lerd Mayer had the power to take the City cash and treat with it whom he pleased, where he pleased, and to what amount he pleased.—( Hear, hear.) No advantage could pos sibly be derived from any stretch made by his Lordship beyond the boundaries of his own acknowledged jurisdiction at Staines. The Corporation then were authorised by all the rules of com mon sense and common prudence to condemn the expenditure of money on an useless expenditure, as wastet'u l and extravagant. What practical good indeed, he would ask, resulted from any view of the Thamft taken b' his Lordship at all ?—( A laugh, and cries of " Hear, hear.") There were many ready to assert that the Court of Aldermen were altogether independent of the Court of Common Council, and in no ore point con trolable by that Court. He most distinctly denied that state ment. The Court of Common Council hat passed a law pre. venting the Court of Aldermen from appointing any d( p•ity who was not a member of the former.—( Hear, hear.) And on several occasions an interference had been made, in which the authority of the latter was shown to be subordinate. He admitted that the Court of Aldermen had privileges not capable of being invaded by the other branch of the Corpora tion, but over the City cash their worships certainly, in his opinion, had no power, putting out of the question the un limited control which they assumed on the subject of the projected visitation.—( Hear, hear.) He hoped the Court would unarimously adopt the motion. If it appeared that notwithstanding the objections thus made to an unnecessary expenditure the object of the Court of Aldermen were likely to be attained, the Livery, who bad an unquestion able power over the Chamberlain, was still to be applied to.— ( Hear, hear.) The Lord Mayor could, and he had no doubt would, go to Oxford, and treat all his visitors there and at other places beyond his jurisdiction as a private gentleman, and at his own expense, (for a more liberal naan never presided in the City of London), but it was quite absurd to carry the expenses of the mayoralty beyond the stone which marked the City boundaries at Staines.—(Hear, bear.) Mr. Anderton concluded by submitting the motion. Sir PETER LAURIE most cordially seconded the motion. The subject was, he said, by no means a new one. He had successfully opposed it in the late Mayoralty, when an attempt was made to obtain permission to perform the agreeable cere mony. The first visitation within his memory was that made by Sir C. S. Hunter, who was dubbed Doctor of Law upon tne occasion at Oxford.—(Laughter.) It would no doubt be extremely agreeable to the present Lord Mayor's friends to see him covered with the same sort of distictien, but his Lordship was too independent to seek any honour at an expense which proceeded from any other source than by his own pocket. It was with mingled pride and regret he had to declare that upon almost every occasion on which he advocated the cause of economy, he found himself in a minority.—(Laughter.) He believed the present would be a decided exception.—(Cheers.) He hoped so, for he did not wish to have it as an argument to be handled by the versatile power of Lord Brougham, that the Corporation of London yielded to so unjustifiable an expendi ture.—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) It would be ridiculous to attempt to keep th 3 matter secret, but it would come as the decisivebill of the Mercer; Company came through the medium of Lord Lyndhurst, and with comments as benevolently in tended.—( Hear, hear.) It was not to be wondered at that Charitable Trusts' Bills were brought unto Parliament when Bills resembling that which the Noble Lord had taken under his patronage, and introduced to the notice of the House of Peers, were perpetrated,—( Hear, hear.) The motion of Mr, Anderson was exceedingly temperate and moderate, and the City were indebted to the Lord Mayor for having so promptly called a Court for the discussion of a question of such vital interest. Deputy STEPHENS said he had no objection to see the Lord Mayor and his party go beyond the boundaries, if they paid the expenses incurred after they quitted his jurisdiction. If the Corporation should at any time have any remaining after the payment of the expenses of the prisons and the various contin gencies which were inseparable from its maintenance, the over plus ought to be given for the support of charities and educa tional institutions. —( Hear, hear. ) Sir JAMES DUKE was not only opposed to the expenditure of money beyond the limitsof the City jurisdiction, but he wished that the expenses within the limits should be defined.—( Hear, hear.) He wished them to be limitted to 1501.—( Hear, hear.) Alderman Witsow said he thought every real friend of the city of London must very much regret to hear such a discus sion as the present in the Court of COMMOU Council.—( Hear, hear.) Had he consulted his own feelings he would have fol lowed the example of some of his brethen, and absented him self from the meeting ' • but he attended at much per ional inconvience, lest his absence might be construed into acquiescence in the truth of the observations and asser tions which had been made by some members of the Council against the Court of Aldermen. With regard to the first charge against the Court of Aldermen, a " breach of faith," he denied most positively that the Court of Aldermen had acquiesced in a joint address to the King of the French, but that two Aldermen had dune so he would not deny, because they admitted the fact. With regard to the motion then before the Court, he begged it might be understood that he did not attend as the representative of the Court of Alder men, but he spoke as a member of the Court of Common Council, and he regretted that any member should have thought it right to attack the Aldermen in their absence without giving any notice of such intention, but assuming the plea of breach of privilege as an authority for the scandal.—( Hear, hear.) H. should show that no Lord Mayor had ever been more imperatively called upon to take the view his Lordship had signified his intention to take than the present Chief Ma gistrate. He would then show that two or three, who were the most noisy and clamorous against the Court of Aldermen, ought to have been the very last persons to join in the unge nerous attack ; and, lastly, that if any portion of the freemen and liverymen of London had cause to complain of a wanton and wasteful expenditure, the Court of Common Council did not form that portion.—(Laughter.) As to the necessity which existed for the Lord Mayor's visit, any one who knew anything of the lands and navigation must be aware that they were in the very last extremity in consequence of the comple tion of the railways, and that it was only by adopting an im proved mode of navigation, by reducing the tolls, and by giving to these traders advantages in the mode of towing and other improvements, that sufficient income would be producable to pay their expenses. As to any profit, that could hardly be iexpected, now that the Corporation bad raised a sum of 153,000/. for the purpose of improving the navigation of the Thames, from which, in the year 1839, they derived an in came of 20,4191. Under the Act of Parliament they were bound annually to pay off not less than 5001. in reducing the debt. Owing to railroads , and other circumstances, the in come had fallen off in the last seven years 4,8651., and bat for the reduction in the interest effected last year by the Committee under a new Act of Parliament, they would not have been able at the present time to pay off the 5001. of debt annually re quired. The great carriers of the canal, too, had complained to the Committee of inability to pay the present high price of toll, and made so good a case as to induce the Committee to pass a resolution that the tolls should be reduced But that would be of no avail unless the Commissioners of the upper districts would unite and do the same. They had refused to make the reduction, Now, it was well known, that in the upper districts barges were frequently aground in such sea sons as the present for want of water, for which they were in a great degree at the mercy of the Corporation, and mill owners of that district, who would shut up, and withhold or abstract the water as they pleased. It was necessary to the navigation that the Lord Mayor should occasionally visit the upper district, and ascertain what new darns, sluices, and other alterations had been made. The Commissioners always re oeived the Lord Mayor most cordially, and readily listened to any useful suggestion for the improvement of the navigation, either above or below ; and it was hoped that his Lordship would be able to convince them of the propriety of concurring with the Committee on re ducing the tolls.—( Hear, hear.) To say that the Lord Mayor was only to visit once in seven years, and pass over a time like the present, when his presence might be the means of saving the income of the navigation, was to say that his office, as Conservator, was useless.—(Hear, hear.) With regard to the intention of the Lord Mayor to sleep at Oxford, it was only reasonable that when his Lordship was obliged to leave his home and his family, in the discharge of a public duty, he should be allowed, if he found that better accommodation could be obtained at Oxford than at Staines, to make his election. Alderman Wilson then referred to the speech of Mr. Anderton in which that gentleman spoke of wontonly expending the City money, by junketting at Oxford; and of the septennial visit np the River in 1839, the cost of which freak was 1,099/. 6s. dd. He denied that it was a septennial visit. The upper district had not been visited for thirteen years at that period, and the Court should see who it was that took upor himself to call the Court of Aldermen to account for having expended in thirteen years, i n support of a great pri vilege, ana the performance of a very important duty, the average sum of 841. 11s. 2d. per annum, for that period. It would have been but modest and fair if the mover had to'd the Court that he had been present himself, and had helped to increase the amount, and how much enjoyment he had expe rienced.—(Laughter.) He had rot the candour to tell the Court that he was Deputy-Governor of the Irish Society; that he went to Ireland last year; that instead of going direct to Londonderry, where the society's property lay, he took a most delightful tour over the Welsh mountains; stayed some time in Dublin, was absent a month, or six weeks ; and that the deputation expended 3001., in addition to 527/. set apart for the society to dine upon, or spend as it pleased, and one dinner to the amount of 150/. given in the extreme of luxury. Had he forgotten that he was a member of a Court which annually sanctioned the expendi ture of a fixed sum of 2,6751. in eating and drinking ?—( Loud laughter)—Another fixed sum of 7001. annually, in eating and drinking, and dancing, and music, with their wives and daugh ters, on the river, and on parts of it w hich were not confined to the limits of civic jurisdiction ?—(Laughter. ) In fact, in the Common Council, in eating and drinking last year—of which the mover had, God knew, his share—there was ex pended the sum of 4,4801.; and the Hon. Gentleman had par ticipated in all these luxuries without seeming even to remem ber that such things had ever been. —( Laughter, and cries of " Hear, hear.") The worthy mover, at the same time that he attacked the Court of Aldermen, for expending, in 13 years, 1,099/. 6s. 6d., at the rate of 84/. 1 Is. 2 id. per annum., knew well that he and the Irish Society were spending trust money at the rate of 12,0901. in ti e same period.—( Hear, hear, and murmurs.) He would next say a few words about the Chairman of the London-bridge Approaches-fund, who had also been a partaker of the good things of the Irish Society without uttering one syllable of complaint—(Laughter)—an who joined in the sally against the Court of Aldermea. It wouldbe an interesting document which contained an account of the funds of the freemen of the City which had been ex pended in the delighted presence of that worthy gentleman, in eating, and drinking, and music, and dancing, and entertain ments, splendid and multifarious, to ladies at Richmond and Greenwich, and Illackwall, since his appointment as Chair. man of the London-bridge approaches Committee.—( Laughter and great murmuring). He had applied to the Chamberlain ' for the returns, but that officer "Vert courteously declined giving it ; very probably because he was ashamed to produce such evidence. Under these circumstances he was obliged to make a rough guess,' and that amounted to no less a sum than between 12,000/. and 13,0001., exclusive of extras, such as cost of laying the first stone, opening the bridge, and summer excur sions. --(The Court here betrayed great impatience). Alder man Wilson then alluded to the expenses incurred in opening the Royal Exchange, and finally contrasted the sum expended by the Court of Aldermen in entertainments for the last twenty years with those which swelled the bills of the Court of Com mon Council, to the amount of 89,600/. for that period. He hoped the mover would withdraw his motion until the actual expenses of the trip, which certainly would take place, should be ascertained. Alderman WOOD said, that in these days of reform it was the duty of the court to look with jealousy to any expenses dis tinct from actual corporation purposes. The question before the court was simply whether the journey to Oxford was ne cessary to be undertaken by the Lord Mayor as Conservator of the Thames. It had been well said, that his Lordship might as well go to Portsmouth as to Oxford for any purposes connected with the office of Mayer.—(Hear, hear.) He de precated any personal allusions between the two courts, and he should avoid the conflict which an indulgence in such allusions was calculated to produce. He must, however, advert to an historical fact, supported by the records of that court, in justifi cation of the argument, that the Court of Common Council had interfered with the power of the Court of Aldermen in a matter connected with a visit to the upper district. — He meant the refusal of the Court to grant the expenses, of Kennet, the Mayor, of 1,780/., for conservancy expenses and the compromise which took place in consequence of that re fusal—( Hear, hear.) That was a precedent of the interference of the Court of Common Council. Each party gave way a little, and the Lord Mayor bowed with deference to the autho rity of the Court in which the opposition was made—(Hear, hear ) The present system, Alderman Wood contended, was decidedly superior to that by which members were allotted certain sums of money, for their attendance on Committees— an intense fatigne—entertainments were substituted. There existed no doubt as to the power of the Aldermen to command all the expenses incurred in the performance of their duties— (Hear, hear)--but the present was no time for demanding more than our necessary claims. The Corporation of London was no isolated corporation. It was known that it had a voice all over the world ; that on all great questions it gave a tone which was caught up and re-echoed by other important insti tutions. The Court should then be cautious how by an unwise expenditure, at variance with the spirit of the times, it provoked an interference which, it it came, would certainly not be satisfied with effeeting a superficial change—(Cheers.) Mr. LAWRENCE spoke with great force in favour of the motion. He said that if it were not for the discursive speech of Alderman Wilson, he would not entertain a thought of speaking. He had heard a great deal of complimentary matter uttered towards the members of the Court of Aldermen, and Alderman Wilson had spoken of the expenses incurred by the two Courts, and of the hospitality of the Mayoralties. It was not to be denied that the present Lord Mayer carried out to perfection the principle of hospitality, unlike some of his brethren, who made the Mansion-house a place of enter tainment for the members of their own families, and the people wi'li whom they transacted business.—( Laughter, and cries of " Hear, hear.") In the mayoralty of Alderman Wilson, in which the sort of hospitality he described had been exercised, the allowance had been larger than it had been since. It was at that period about 8,0001. Alderman Wxtscoar—Yes ; and add to that some 7,0001. more, which I spent for the honour and reputation of the City. Mr. LAWRENCE said the expense had been incurred in treating strangers to the City, and individuals who were a source of advantage to the hospitable entertainer. The Alder man had spoken of the expenses of the committees. Why, it was notorious that the Aldermen, who were, as it happened, upon all the committees, attended more of the dinners than any of the ordinary members beyond all comparison.—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) Upon one committee alone (the City Lands) there were 12 Aldermen out of the 26, while there were only 30 commoners out of the 240; so that the Aldermen came in for an incomparably larger share of the luxuries, while the business of the Corporation might go to the devil for their worships.—(Loud laughter.) It was notorious that the mem bers of the Court of Aldermen r ever attended to the duties of the Corporation, but observed the most rigid punctuality at the eating and drinking boo's, at which they powerfully sus tained the high reputation of their predecessors.--(Laughter.) It was notorious, that when propositions were made in that court for the reduction of the allowances, the persons who most resolutely opposed all reduction were the Aldermen ( Hear, hear.) Those who performed the laborious business from twelve or one &clock till four or five, were willing to give up, while nothing could prevail upon the Aldermen to resign.— ( Laughter and cheers.) Mr. Lawrence then, amidst the ap plauses of the court, defended the chairman of the London bridge Approaches Cernmittee from the charge of encouraging an exorbitant expenditure, and drew a picture of that gentle man, and of his extraordinary a n d di s i n t eres t e d exertions' for the service of the City, which the whole court, by one burst of approbation, acknowledged to be correct. Alderman S IDNEY moved th e prev i ous ques ti on , i n a speec h which our limits prevent us from giving. Mr. LOTT seconded the amendment, which, after a few words from Mr. Norris, and a reply from Mr. Anderton, was nega tived by an immense majority. The original m otion was then carried, only four hands havinE been held up against it. TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. WHITEHALL, JULY 20, 1846.

Count Valerian Krasinski delivered the first of a series of three lectures on the Rise and Fall of Protestantism in Poland, on Saturday afternoon, at Willis's Rooms, to a select assembly of the nobility and gentry. The lecturer, after a rapid glance at the introduction of Christianity among the Sclavonian nations, which was finally established in the 9th century by the labours of Cyrillus and Methudins, concentrated his attention on Bohemia and Poland, whose close connexion and sympathy of feeling generally made their struggles for principle common. He remarked the feeling of nationality which strongly characterised the Sclavonian tribes generally, and which in no small degree affected their reception of Christianity, showing itself so early as the times of Cyrillus and Methudins, when the Pope felt himself, in that age, compelled to grant that mass, and the rest of the service of the church, should be performed in the language of the country. These same two missionaries translated the Scrip tures into the native tongue, and did the inhabitants thereby additional gratification. In 1341 the predeeessor of John Huss in the work of reformation was a Polish barrister at Breslau, who denounced the Pope as Anti-Christ and the Roman Church as the Whore of Babylon. The fame of Wickliffe, too, was so great as to elicit from sonic of his admirers a hymn in praise of his metaphysics, which was written about 1110. Already Huss was before the public mind, and his followers increasing, not only in Bohemia, but in Poland also. Tlie Lutheran movement extended into Silesia, and produced great excitement in Dantzic in 1518. The Hussites and the Lutherans joined, and formed themselves into a church, con stituted with bishops, after the order of the Waldenses, and were known in Poland as the Episcopal Protestant Church. Throughout the several struggles that were made, and which were all but national, the Romish clergy still continued dominant, and did continue so, very much confirmed by the revulsion excited by the preaching of the anti-Trinitarian d ,ctrines that originated in the Genevese Church. This failure of our attempt to establish Protestantism in Poland was ascribed by the lecturer to the movement not having been identified with the national interests. Having brought down his review of events to the year 1570, the Count con cluded his first lecture. INVERNESS SHEEP AND WOOL FAIR.----0111' annual market for sheep and wool—the principal products of the northern counties—commenced on Friday, July 10, and closed on Saturday evening. The market has been an ex cellent one for the sale of sheep. Nearly all our flocks are disposed of at prices considerably higher than those which were obtained last year. On Wedders the rise has been from Is. to 2s. ; on ewes and lambs from Is. to 3s. The brisk ness of the demand was highly favourable to the mid dling class of sheep, on which the advance was greater than on the very best description. On all, however, there is an improvement in price, and the demand for lambs and ewes has been almost unprecedented. The full employment of the labouring classes, engaged in railways and other works, and the revival of trade, with the prospect of still further im provement, have, no doubt, tended to produce this result. In wool there has been very little business dore. Our farmers looked forward to good prices, owing to the settle ment of the American question and the passing of the corn bill, which must operate in rendering trade more secure and giving an impulse to manufactures. But the staplers allege that the market is overstocked with foreign wool—that the price of Scotch wool has been too high for the last two or three years—and that the foreign wools are supplanting it in the estimation am' the use of the manufactures. These arguments did not convince the fleece-owners, and most of them have resolved to "hold on," or to consign their stores to the commission agents.—Ross-shire Advertiser. WICK, JULY 15, 1846.—The herring fishing has com menced here earlier than usual. Several hundred boats were at sea last week, and had from one to ten crans. Yesterday morning (Tuesday) there was one boat that had twenty eight crans. Several had from ten to fifteen crans. Average. two and a half. There is a dearth of hired men. Not one-half of the usual number of Highlanders have come this year. They are getting from 61. to 81. of wages, and their meat and lodgings during the seven weeks. A great many boats are ashore for want of men. The boats whose period of engagement has not vet commenced, are selling their fresh fish at fifteen shillings per cran. This morning (Wednesday) the boats are just returning from sea. The average will be about two crans. —Ross- shire Advertiser. RE-APPEARANCE OF THE POTATO DISEASE IN FUR• NESS AND WEST CUMBERLAND. — Our Ulverton correspon dent, writing under Thursday's date, says—" Accounts have been received here to-day of the potato disease of last year having made its appearance on some farms in the Furness district and Millom " (West Cumberland). Lancaster Guardian. THE POTATO DISEASE.—We grieve to state that we have received several reports of the recurrence of the potato disease, not only in the neighbourhood of this city, but also in several parts of the county.—Hereford Times. MILITARY FLOGGING AT HOUNSLOW. Oa Monday Mr. Wakley, M.P., held a lengthened investiga tion a:, the George the Fourth Inn, Hounslow-heath, touch ing the death of Frederick John White, a private in the 7th Hussars, which was alleged to have been caused by punishment inflicted under the sentence of a court-martial for insubordination, the principal charge against him being that he had struck his sergeant across the breast with a poker. The Coroner formally opened the inquiry some days since, so that yesterday's was an adjourned inquest On the re assembling of the jury, he remarked that he trusted, in the inquiry they were about to institute, the jury would at once dismiss from their minds all that had been said and pub lished with respect to the painful circumstance. Rumour had been busy in conveying what was no t strictly in ac cordance with V truth ; and he trusted, therefore, that they would maturely and calmly weigh all the evidence which would be adduced. Mr. WAiLEy appealed to the brother of the deceased man as to his age. _ It appeared that he was born in January, 1819, and that he was consequently in his twenty-seventh year. The evidence with respect to Vie death of the deceased was then gone into. The first witness called was Henry Potter, who stated that he was hospital sergeant, and that he remembered the deceased man being admitted into the regimental hospital on the evening of June 15, for the purpose of being treated for certain wounds he had re ceived while being flogged. The wounds, which were serious, showed themselves principally on the back, the skin being severely cut in several places. The deceased was al ways considered a man of good health, and had never bees in the hospital on account of any internal disorders. George Sparkes, a private in the 7th Hussars (the regiment to which the deceased belonged), was then called and ex amined. He deposed that he was present on the 15th of June, when the deceased was punished for the crime of which he had been found guilty, the punishment having taken place in the riding-school, in the presence of the whole of the re giment. The punishment was inflicted by two farriers, named Grates and Evans, both of them being attached to the fegiment. Meceased was fastened to a ladder, which was nailed to the wall of the riding school. The order for punish ment wa; publicly given by C,olonel Whyte. the commanding officer of the regiment, to, the ,kjutant, and by the latter' to the farriers, who forthwith commenced the number • 'of stripes ordered. (The adjutant, who had been• present as far as this' stage of the proceedings, was ordered by the co roner to retire ) Colonel Whyte, the commanding officer,. sent in "a bequest that he might be permitted to attend, but Mr. 'Wakley pe r remptorily refused. The witness, in reply to questions put to him by Mr.- Wakley and Mr. George Ireland Mills, the Deputy Coroner, proceeded to say,.that in additiOn ,to the military persons who were called to witness the punishment, De. Warren, the regimental surgeon, was present, and stood three or four yards from the deceased man. The "cat" was first taken by the senior farrier, who inflicted 25 stripes out of the 150 to which the deceased man was condemned. The second farrier then took the whip and inflicted the next 25 stripes, and so it continued until 100 stripes had been inflicted. The "cats" were them exchanged for new ones, with which the remaining 50 stripes were given. The stripes followed in quick succession, the whole number occupying less than half an hour. By order of the Coroner the " cats," or whips, used for flogging in the 7th Hussars, were here produced. There were five of them, two being tolerably new, the other three being discoloured with blood. The witness, on examination by the CORONER, expressed his belief that the "cats" produced were those used in the punishment of the prisoner, but he really could not speak with any confidence on the matter. He agreed with a re mark from the Coroner, that the cord of which some of the "cats" were composed was heavier than the others, and with these, it appeared from subsequent testimony, the deceased man White had been beaten. The principal wounds were received between the shoulders. While he was being flogged the deceased man maintained perfect silence, except asking for a drink of water after the first twenty-five stripes had been administered. This was given to him out of a quart pot. When he had received 100 stripes, he cried " Lower, lower ;" but he (the witness) did not perceive that any at tention was paid to the entreaty. When the 150 lashes had been administered, deceased was released from the ladder, water was thrown on his shirt, which was placed loosely upon him, and over that a cloak. He then walked delibe ratelv into the hospital, undressed himself, and went to bed. To his wounds lukewarm water and rags were applied. During the course of punishment several of the men fainted, and were carried off the ground. The CORONER inquired of the witness whether the colonel said anything to the deceased after the punishment was in flicted ?—Witness replied, that Colonel Whyte said he was sorry that he should have been compelled to resort to ex treme measures, but that the offence of White left him no alternative; he was determined, as far as he could, to dis countenance suet' conduct in his regiment. Richard Cook, Thomas Pi fig, Thomas Reilly, and other privates of the regiment, were examined at considerable len , th. Their evidence went to show that the deceased had been publicly flogged; that the surgeon did not attend him until the day after he was sent to the hospital; that he complained of severe pains in the chest and side, resulting, as they believed, from the injuries he had received ; and that at last death relieved him from all bodily suffering. This evidence was supported by lengthened extracts, which the Coroner compelled Mr. Sergeant Potter to read from the Hospital Medical Register. The CORONER remarked that a large piece of skin had been cut out of the back of the deceased man, and that he would like it produced for the satisfaction of the jury. Mr. Potter produced it. It was contained in a glass bottle, and had the appearance of a large piece of common leather. Mr. Horatio Day, of Isleworth, surgeon, in answer to a question from the Coroner, said, he had compared the piece of flesh now produced with the piece cut out of the body, but that they did not at all correspond. The respective witnesses were subjected to a like exami nation, and said that they had seen the back of White before he died, and that the piece of flesh bore little resemblance to the lacerated portion of his back, which was covered with boils some days before his death. A private, named Matthewson, who confessed having suf fered military flogging, was examined. He expressed his belief that the punishment of White was too severe. _ _ The CORONZR inquired what he (Matthewson) had been flogged for? _ _ Matthewson—Why, Sir, I was in the stable, when a sergeant looked through a window. Ile said, " who's there?" I said "Holloa," and he replied, "Is that the way von speak to a sergeant." I said " I did not know he was a sergeant, or I would not have done so." He then said, " Well, if you don't know, I'll teach you better manners." I was then locked up for a week by the instructions of the commanding officer, and after that was sentenced to one hundred lashes. I declare what I said was said in ignorance, and that it was not intended to be insolent. Loud cries of shame followed this statement, but they were immediately checked by Mr. Mills, the Deputy Coroner. The ConoNEn inquired of Mr. Day, the surgeon, whether he examined the spinal marrow of the deceased? Mr. Day replied that he had not, as he did not think it necessary. The CORONER said, that although he might be medically satisfied with Mr. Day's testimony, he was not so judically, and he would therefore order the body to be exhumed. An attorney from Brentford, in the course of the proceed ings, said he appeared on behalf of the military authorities; but the Coroner could not allow him to proceed, remarking, that if he permitted such discussion, his Court would be con verted into a bear• garden, a pleasure he had no desire to witness.—( Laughter.) The Brentford attorney, who had conducted himself with considerable hauteur, resumed his seat. The inquest was adjourned until Monday next. VAGRANTS, ENGLAND AND WALES.—From a return just laid upon the table of the House of Commons, relative to the number of vagrants received into union workhouses of England and Wales during the years 1841, 1842, 1843, 1844, and 1845, it appears that the total number of unions in the counties of England and Wales amounts to 480. In 1841 there were received into them 93,985 men, 24,095 women, 43,577 of the males being between 18 and 40. In 1842, males 162,163 (78,995 between 18 and 40), and 33,889 females. In 1843, males 241,665 (112,533 between 18 and 40), and 40,831 females. In 1844, males 252,558 (118,280 of whom were between 18 and 40), and 39,837 females. In 1845, males 247,377 (116,725 between 18 and 40), and 39,539 females. ESCAPE AND RE-CAPTURE.—The only prisoner tried at Windsor Sessions, on Saturday, was a boy, who had " broken prison" the night before, and who was found guilty of picking the pocket of a farmer's wife, and sentenced to be imprisoned for three months, and privately whipped. The boy, who is only thirteen years of age, and who belongs to a London gang of thieves, manifested considerable adroit ness in escaping from prison on the night before his trial. The clothes of the prisoners are invariably taken away from them before they are locked up for the night. He had managed, however, to cut out the lining from his trousers, and seen* in the mattress in his cell. He had also secreted a knife, with which he loosened the bars of the ward, and afterwards dropped down into the yard, scaled the outer wall, and got clear away, with nothing on but his trousers lining and his shirt. He was, however, appre hended after having been at large several hours. just l ip time to take his trial. It appears that he had mistaken n: road to London, and had to retrace his steps through Windsor to get to town, when he was captured by the local police. SUSPECTED INFANTICIDE.—An inquest was held on Saturday at the Cumberland Head, City-road, on an infant. The charge had been already investigated by the magistrate at Worship-street, who had remanded a woman named Hughes, in whose possession the child was found. Mrs. Hughes now stated before the coroner that on Thursday evening an elderly lady, wearing spectacles, accosted her, and, after conversation, engaged her at 4s. a week. On ar riving at her residence, she took a coffin from under the bed, and desired her to take it to the sexton's, on arriving at whose house she found she was too late, and she was unable, on her return, to discover again the house of the lady. She then took the coffin home, and placed it in a closet. 'On the following morning she went to William Pratt, the sexton of St. Luke's, Old-street, to have it buried, and he, being sus picious of the circumstances, gave her into custody. Several witnesses bore testimony to this statement, and described the dress of thellady whom they had seen speaking to Hughes. The surgeon having given his evidence, the jury returned a verdict of " Natural Death." DUNNING.—PERTHSHIRE. —This village was thrown into a state of great excitement on Sabbath evening, by a report that James M'Lellan, merchant, who had been taken unwell, and died, notwithstanding every effort to relieve hint that medical skill could devise, had been poisoned. Various circumstances led to the apprehension of the wife of the unfortunate man, while a messenger was sent off to Perth with the necessary information to the authorities. Mr. M'Lean, Procurator-fiscal, and Dr. Malcom, immediately proceeded to Dunning, where the latter opened the body of M'Lellan, and analysed the contents of his s t omac h, among w hi c h there is said to have been detected a considerable quantity of arsenic. An investigation immediately took place, and the result was the full committal of Mrs. M'Lellan, charged with the murder of her husband. From what we have been able to learn of this tragic affair, it appears that M'Lellan and his wife had not, for a considerable time past, been on the best of terms with each other, arising, it is ,„ alleged, from her partiality for a mason of the name of Gow, who had been lodging with them for several years. (It may be here remarked that Gow was also taken into cus tody, on suspicion of being connected with the murder; but there being no evidence to criminate him, Le was liberated on Monday.) The poison, it is said, was administered to M'Lellan on Saturday evening, when at his tea, on a soda scon,' the butter and arsenic being covered over with currant jelly. The unfortunate man died the subsequent evening in great agony. The woman who purchased the arsenic, came voluntarily and gave her testimony to the authorities, she not having been suspected as being connected with the affair. It is further alleged that a previous attempt, in the same way, had been made on the Friday evening, but not in sufficient quantity to effect the fatal purpose. As we have already said, the tragedy has caused a deep sensation in Dunning, as well as throughout the whole neighbourhood.—Edinburgh Weekly Register.

I'e quar erlimee.inavas held •a Monday at twelve o'clock, at the Thatched House Tavern. Captain W. G. H. Whisch in the chair. Previous to the usual business of the meeting, Earl Cadogan called attention to the case•of Miss Hoare. He said that he appealed to their sense of justice to allow her to have a fair hearing—not such a hear ing as she had hitherto had. She had been under the protec tion of the lady of a clergyman holding a livingwhich he had presented to the incumbent. From this circumstance he had been put in possession of numerous facts and certain docu ments, which at the proper time he was prepared to bring forward. He called upon the meeting to do justice to themselves as well as to this persecuted and unprotected female, if they would avoid that obliquy which must be at tached to injustice and oppression, and to appoint a commit tee to inquire into her case. He did not want a committee appointed by Captain Dickson, or any other member, but a committee elected by ballot, so that no person interested in the question should have the exclusive power of adjudicating upon it. He wished they would do as they would be dons by. It really was the height of oppression and cruelty not to give this lady a fair hearing, for he appealed to them as a body of honourable men to say if there had been an investiga tion of her case which any man could put his hand upon his heart and pronounce fair and impartial. Admiral Lord RADSTOCK said, he thought, though he did not himself form one of the Committee, that it consisted of individuals who were inclined to give to Miss Hoare's case the most favourable consideration. Earl CADOGAN said he held documents, with which if the members had been conversant, they would have come to a different conclusion. After some observations from the Chairman, with reference to the mode in which the Noble Lord's resolution should be made, his Lordship handed a written proposition to the fol lowing effect—that a Committee of not less than five mem bers, to be elected by ballot, should be appointed to inquire into the case of Miss Hoare, and that she should be furnished with all letters and documents in the possession of that Society reflecting upon her character. After this question was disposed of, a lengthened conver sation arose respecting the reading of an official correspond ence betWbfri AtMAW 'SW L. Codrington and' the secretary— tif the society; - whicla - in - the absence of the Gallant.Achniral, was postponed until the next quarterly meeting. The financial report of the quarter - ending the 30th of June, gave a gross sum of 1,2111., of Which 520/. had been expended in grants, 1201.. in the expenses of the society, leaving a balance in hand of 570/. The , consideration-of the memorials, and the other usual business, was then disposed of, and the meeting broke up. - AMOUNT OF ANNUAL SALARIES -WHICH CHANGE' HANDS ON A CHANGE OF ADMINISTILATION.—First Lord of the Treasury, 5,1)001. ; 'Chancellor of the Excheqriei-, 5,0001: ; Home Secretary, 5,0001.; Foreign Secretary, 5,000/.4 Colonial - • Secretary, 5,060/. ; Secretary at War, 2,480/. ; First Lord of the Admiralty,. 400/. ; Lord High Chancellor (exclusive of his salary as Speaker of the House of Lords), 10,000/. ; Presi dent of the Council, 2,000/. ; Lord Privy Seal, 2,000/. ; Chan ' cellar of the Duchy of Lancaster (not known) ; Chief Com missioner of Woods and Forests, 2,0001 ; President of the Board of Trade, 2,000/. ; Postmaster General, 2,500/. ; Presi dent of the Board of Control, 3,500/. - ; four junior Lords of the Treasury, each 1,200/. ; two joint Secretaries to the Treasury, each 2,500/. ; Under Secretary (Home Department), 2,000/. ; Under Secretary (Foreign Department), 1,500/. ; Under Secretary (Colonial Department), 2,000/. ; five junior Lords of the Admiralty, each 1,0001. ; First Secretary, 2,000/. ; two Secretaries of the Board of Control, each 1,500/. ; Vice-Presi dent of the Board of Trade, 2,000/. ; Master of the Mint, 2,000/. ; Paymaster-General of the Forces and Treasurer of the Navy, 2,4001.; Judge Advocate General, 2,0001.

CHILD MURDER AND DEATH OF THE MURDERER.— We have just learned that a girl, named Elizabeth Bell, of Blacksyke, near Brackenburgh, in the parish of Hesket-in the-Forest, has committed the crime of infanticide on her illegitimate offspring, and that she, within an hour afterwards died. Inquests on the bodies have been held before Mr. Car rick, coroner, and the jury have returned a verdict of" Wilful murder" in the former, and " Natural death, consequent on child-birth," in the latter.—Carlisle Journal. . . THE CROPS —ln the vicinity of London, so far as the • wheat crop is concerned, reaping has commenced in good earnest. In the course of the past week several fields cut .„ down in the luxurious districts of Kent and Surrey show that., they are not far behind in regard to productiveness. The first cutting we have heard of was that of Mr. Jibbald, Goose grove, in the middle of last week; and last Saturday evening we saw a field of beautiful wheat in the vicinity of Camber-' well-green, belonging to Mr. Harris, in the act of being cut down. In all the fields we have seen the crop seems dant ; and on the authority of a practical farmer, who-has -- within the last two months travelled over England and Wale*, we can state, that while the wheat crop is fully an avets/ee, ' the oats and barley crop is in a fair proportion, con3barp4,;, with other years. SPEED MATRIMONIAL.—AO honest tar, who does. not re,ide one hundred miles from the port of Milford, having - -- consigned, what once was his better half, to the solitary tenements of deceased mortality, bethought himself, 'after,, a very brief period, of filling up the vacuum made by,ft..„, grim tyrant in his domestic comforts. He forthwith cast his eves around him as to the whereabout of an object worthy his :choke, and as the hand of time had numbered some two score years to his pilgrimage in this transitory vain, he opined it would be but advisable his intended help. mate should be " fat, fair, and forty." He was not long kept in suspense, the: fates were auspicious, and the fame of her, whom his heart was ere long to hold dear, reached him through the channel of report. He forthwith rigged himself out ship-shape, and steered his course due west, for the moorings of his intended, whom the fates (again in a kindly mood) allowed him to see, for she it was w at the portals, answered his summons for admission. " Time and tide will wait for no man ;" it was therefore deemed expedient to take one at the flood and the other by the forelock, to prevent the thousand slips which happen between cups and lips. A meeting was arranged for the evening, "the time for lovers and lovers only," mutual vows were exchanged, and that consummation so devoutly to be wished for was hinted at. The fair one hesitated, hut the skipper exclaimed, " If it were done, when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly." The fair one relented, when he of the seas,' watching his opportunity, portrayed the dangers he had participated in. He spake of anti es vast, of foaming billows, whose tops touch Heaven, of hill and Dale. The fair one consented, " and wished Heaven had made her such a man." The nautical hero, now pressing her to his ardent breast, sighed into her not unwilling ear, "I am a pilot, and wert thou as far as that vast shore washed with the furthest sea I would adventure for such merchandise." The course of true love for once ran smooth, and ere one little month had run its course, " the funeral baked meats did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables." — Carmarthen Journal. STRANGE ACCIDENT.—Two days ago SOMA boys seeing a heap of straw thrown out in the Place du Parvie, Notre Datne, set fire to it, and soon had the pleasure of see ing the whole in a flame. In the midst of their delight at biltolding the fire and smoke, a cry was heard to issue from the burning mass, and at the same time a human figure issued from it. It was a poor man who had fallen asleep amongst the straw, and whom the flames had roused. He rushed with his clothes on fire to the river, and threw himself in. The spectators, who expected to see him re-appear, were disappointed. He was drowned, and his body wee found shortly after.— Galignani's Messenger. EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION OF BATS.—Bats are sometimes found clustered in considerable numbers behind sign-boards and similar dormitories, where they remain during the winter season in a dormant state. A few days ago there was taken out from under one of the leaden gutters of Springwood Park House no fewer than 400 full-grown bats, some of them grey with age; and also from the same place three pails full of batiana, which, no doubt upon trial, will be found to be as useful and nutritious a manure as the far lamed guano.—Kelso Chronicle. THE RICHMOND RAILWAY.—On Friday last, Major- General Pasley made a formal inspection of this line of rail way. The Government Inspector arrived at the junction of the South-Western and Richmond lines at eleven o'clock, and, attended by Mr. Chadwick, the chairman of the latter company, the secretary, the resident engineer, and several directors, started down the new line. General Pasley fre quently alighted from the train, and inspected the various cuttings, embankments, bridges, stations, &c., but he a directed his attention to the viaduct at Wandsworth, w hich are each consists of twenty-two arches three of which oleet in length, seventy feet in span. This viaduct is pieces 'o o o f water and an and is carried over three_ hicn wide e he ' tide has access, and extensive osier-bed, to its construct i on w wh accomplishedoierkfpdt of reflected u interestn d er e n ro o end ordinary deoinnl line; but di ffi culties. General Pasley observed that it was an admi crognbtlerascpteocri.rneTnhoisf wasrailway the but on coming to the level between Barnes and Richmond, the General recommended that the gates at the crossings should be lengthened, so that when open they should meet. and form a fence across the line when cattle were passing. General Pasley subsequently expressed his satisfaction at the excellence of the line, and permitted the directors to announce its opening to the public on Monday, the 27th instant. THE MURDER OF THE POLICE CONSTABLE.—On Saturday bills were issued from the Home-office, and exten sively circulated throughout the metropolis, offering on the usual conditions, a reward of 100/. for the discovery of the murderer of George Clarke, the police-constable, at Dagenham. FATAL OCCURRENCE AT BATTLE-BRIDGE.—On Satur day Mr. Wakley held an inquest at the University Col lege Hospital, on the body of Mark Sinnott, aged 66, a watchman, in the employ of Messrs. Marston, the sewer contractors. Charles Farrander deposed that about ten o'clock on the evening of the 15th inst., while standing at the corner of Maiden-lane, Battle-bridge, he saw a four horse waggon coming from the railway, when he heard a fall, accompanied by groans, and on proceeding to the spot he discovered that two men had been knocked down and run. over. Assistance was procured, and the deceased was takenl to the hospital, where he died at six o'clock the following morning. He repeatedly blamed the driver of the waggoni, and said it was entirely his fault. The other man wh.o eras knocked down is still lying in a very dangerous state. Th e deceased had stated that he heard the cries of 'the other watchman, named Synes, who had been knocke , :t down by the van belonging to the Messrs. Crowley, the railway car riers, and on going to the spot he had requested the driver to .. stop, but he took no notice of what was sai, and flogged the horses on, threw him down, and drove over his chest. The driver was taken up before a police magistrate on Friday, and is now out on bail. He had acknowledged having driven over the deceased. The coroner briefly addressed the jury, and adjourned the inquest for a few days to have the driver identified. FATAL ACCIDENT FROM A STEAM-BOAT.—Thursday forenoon, Mr. Wm. Carter held an inquest at the Hero Of Waterloo, Waterloo-road, on the body of Joseph Chappell, aged 14, call• boy of the Moonlight iron steam-boat. From the evidence of George Heath, the captain of the boat, it ap peared, that on the night of Saturday last, between w,iine and • ten o'clock, the deceased was on the deck of the Moonlight,, which was moored off the King's Arms Stairs, when all of a sudden he was missed. Search was made for the deceased, but he he was not found until Wednesday morning last, when his body was seen floating towards tht larboard paddle box of a steamer, near to the place where he was first missed. , It was the opinion of witness that deceased must have fallen into the water whilst ho was passing front one boat to an other. Verdict, " Accidental de,ath.' THE LEAGUE.—The last remnant, of the League— their offices in Fleet-street—were closed on Monday with the announcement that their offices, furniture, &c., would be subject to the auctioneer hammer on Tuesday ne xt, the 28th inst.
