On the cause coming on for hearing before this branch of the Court, and at the conclusion of the arguments his Honour took time to consider his judgment. The COURT this morning gave judgment, and his Honour, after going at considerable length into the facts of the case, stated that there were two points upon which the case rested. The first was, whether the re presentations made by the defendant to the plaintiff were false, and if so, whether they were of such a nature as to entitle her to the relief she asked. His Honour could not think, as had been argued at the Bar, that the plaintiff did not know what she was about at the time she executed the warrant of attorney, or tl at the stile wis colourable, or that the plaintiff was ignorant of the instrusncrit she signed. From the evidence, is eas clear that she knew what she was doing when she signed the warrant of attorney. There was, however. much in the case that afforded strong suspicion of the truth of many of the charges made by the plaintiff, the evidence on behalf of the plain tiff was strong, but not sufficiently so for him to act upon it. His Honour felt sorry that he could not at the hear ing of the cause give the plaintiff the decree she asked. All that he could do was to give her an opportunity o' establishing her rights by an action at luw. There might be some difficulty in this from the delay that ha i taken place, but what his Honour wished was, that a court of law should decide what the rights of the plaintiff were at the time of the filing of her bill. He thought, such being his opinion, the best course would be to let the case stand over for a few days, in order to give the plain tiff an opportunity of c , nsulting with some gentleman at the Common Law bar as to the course she should pursue. The bOLICITOR•GENERAL—The Court will continue the injunction in the meantime P The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Oh, certainly. TFJEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY (Sittings in Banco.) SLANDER.-GORDON V. SLIDE. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a cok, who had been formerly in the service of the defendant, to recover compensation in damages for alleged slander. When she left the defendant's service she received a good character from Mrs. Slade, on the strength of which she entered the service of a Mrs. Malcolmson. Subse quently that lady had occasion to inquire of Mrs. Slade respecting the character of a servant named Pearce, who had also been in the service of the last-named lady, and in reply she stated that inquiries of the kind were very necessary as she bad formerly been imposed upon. It appeared that whilst the plaintiff was in Mrs. Slade's service stray legs of mutton had been missed, which it was supposed were generously presented by the plaintiff to her tellow-servants, the groom and coachman. Mrs. Malcolmson called upon Mrs. Slade for an explanation of the ambiguous phraseology of her note. In the conver sation that ensued Mrs. Slade imputed dishonesty to the plaintiff. In consequence of this she was discharged. The case was tried before Mr. Justice Wightman in this court, and the jury found for the plaintiff, 40s. damages. Mr. CROWDER now moved for a rule calling, upon the plaintiff to show cause why the ve r di c t should not be set aside and a nonsuit entered by leave of the Learned Judge, and also why judgment should not be arrested, on the grbund that there was an entire absence of malice, and that a person under such circumstances cou'd not be punished, in damages, for stating the truth in giving a character to a servant. If persons were to be punished for speaking the truth, servants of the worst repute might find their way with impunity into our dwellings. The Court granted a rule. THE MIDLAND UNION RAILWAY.-BAILEY V. H.LYNEB. This case was tried at the list sittings at Guildhall, before Lord Denman. It was an action brought by the plaintiff's, the welt-known advertising agents, to recover from the defendant the sum of 1,0521. for advertising, stationary, printing, &c., supplied to the company in question. The defendant was one of the committee. The jury found for the plaintiffs for the full amount claimed. Mr. HUMFREY now moved for a rule calling upon the plaintiffs to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a new trial bad, on the ground of misdirection The railway in question came into existence in the June of 1845, and expired with the panic of October in the same year. It was proved at the trial, by the evidence of the secretary, Mr. Knight, that the defendant did not take any part in the undertaking until the 17th of Oct. Now, but 4071. of the amount claimed was incurred after the 17th of October, and it appeared manifestly unjust that the defendant should be held responsible for the liabilities of the company in this respect, when there was no evidence to show that he had held himself out as a director or as a responsible, parson, before the 17th. It was shown that after the panic the de fendant busied himself with the other directors in endeavouring to provide funds to meet all the claims of the company, in order to accomplish which he and others paid down 160/. each. It was a remarkable fact that the plaintiff had tried two cases of the same nature us this in the provinces ; one was tried before the Lord Chi( f Justice of the Queen's Bench, and the other before the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Ph a 4. Both de- livered equally strong opinions upon the law, but sTrangeTy enough they as strangely and widely differed.—(Laugh ter,) After he had addressed the jury, and the Chief Justice bad summed up and directed them, they asked when the defendent's name first appeared in the prospec tus? His Lordship handed them one dated the month of July, on examining which the jury turned round and found for the plaintiffs for the full.amount, stating at the same time that they did so independently o! the pro spectus. Now, the prospectus was not in evidence, a% d could not properly have been used. Unfortunately. these railway cases were drawing to a close—(Laughter) —but if it had been otherwi.e, tied the eases had been decided as this case appeared to have been, thousands of pounds might have been saved. Lord Diiimes; referred to his notes of the trial, and said the prospectus appeared to have been in evidence, since he found that Mr. Whitehurst, who was "on the other side, frequently alluded to it. IlustienEy apprehended that it was not in evi dence, and could not have been. The misdirection of his Lordship, he submitted, consisted in his putting the case too strongly to the jury, without explaining clearly what made the defendant liable or not liable limn the beginning. He asked the jury, upon the %hole case, if they thought the defendant had admitted his liability. It was true his Lordship told them that if they drew a 1 mit at all, the 17 th of October must be the timo; but he omitted to tell them what were the iageeilii nts necessary to fix him with liability from the be ginning. In such a case a man could not be held responsible, unless he had said in express terms that he o wishedunderstood cmmenictetmoehnetoftheundertaking. that wa s from the d The iraeof Co th u e rt p g ro ra sp n e te e d tu a s. rullehewyiwthourzploeockt. at t o ti t e h s e t,o u r se te. hand writer's notes, and consider the question o. the re duction of damages. EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) VAN CASTEEL V. BOOUR. This case, which has been before th• Court on a pre %ions occasion, and reported at considerable length, was in srover, and was brought to recover the value of a cargo of coffee which had been brought by a ship called the Vigilant, from Bahia to Liverpool. A fraudulent preference was alleged with reference to the consign ment of the cargo. It was tried twice on the last occa sion before Mr. Justice Erle at Liverpool, whin a ver dict was found for the defendant. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL applied for a rule 10 show cause why a new trial should not be had on the ground of the reception of improper evidence. The COURT took time to consider the application. SECONDARIES'.---(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.) WEARE AND ANOTHER V. COOPER.-A CHURCHWARDEN IN DEFAULT. The plaintiffs in this action are the churchwardens of the parish of St. John, Southwark, and they claimed the sum of 162/. 16s. 3d., the balance of an account of fees received by defendant as churchwarden, and which he had appropriated to his own use. Mr. Shee the vestry clerk, was called, and proved that the defendant was churchwarden in 1846 and 1847, and on the audit of accounts a balance was found to be due to the parish of 222/. 16s. 3d., but the defendant had since paid 601. on account, leaving a balance of 162/. 16s. 3d. now claimed. Time had been offered to defendant to pay, but he would not agree to the terms. The defendant allowed judgment to go by default, and The jury gave a verdict for 162 E 16s. 3d. This was the only case. MARLBRO' STREET-(THIS DAY.) James Davis, a journeyman bootmaker, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with being drunk, and assaulting police-constable Martin, C 49. Complainant said, on the previous night, about nine o'clock, he was on duty in Compton-street, when he saw the prisoner knock down his wile. The latter screamed out " murder" and " police," and witness ran to her assist ance, and asked the prisoner why he struck the woman? The prisoner replied " that she was his wife, and he had a right to do as be liked." Ile was about proceeding to further violence when witness took him into custody. On the way to the station the prisoner struck him i❑ the face, and was so violent that the assistance of another constable was obliged to be procured before the prisoner coukl be locked up. The prisoner said he was very drunk, end could not recollect a single circumstance of the preceding night. Mr. BINGHAM fined him 10s., and in detault corn. mated him for seven days. THE HALSTEAD MURDER.—On Monday last, the body of the female lately murdered in this neighbour. hood was disinterred, in the presence of the police autho rities and the clergyman of the district. A number of persons gave evidence, which went to prove the identity of the murdered woman, ou the wearing apparel in the possession of the police being produced, the witnesses swearing to having seen certain articles of the apparel worn by the deceased. A man named Dean, who stated that he had cohabited with the deceased, identified the body. The woman's name was Margaret Thompson. A reward of 501. has been offered for the apprehension of the murderers. Great excitement pervades the neigh bourhood. PRESENTATION.—A handsome sword of consi derable value has been presented to Inspector Wallrr by the inhabitants of Bethnal-green, for his enprgetic exertions in suppressing the Chartist riots on the 4th of June. CAPTURE OF VIENNA. TO THE EDITOR OF TilE SUN. Sia,—Your generous and just observations on the dreadfol events passing at Vienna do you honour. The position taken up by several of your contemporaries in regard to the Austrian revolution is in the last degree disgraceful to the press of a " free country." The language of some of these journals is positively re volting. God grant that the heroic capital of the Austrian empire may still be delivered from the hands of the miserable and perfidious Cretan who, according :to one of these writers, " will have to mourn with a father's love the sad scenes of desolation and wee inflicted by his own rebellious subjects !" One of the most prominent of your brother journal ists, as usual, writing for all the worst prejudices of the national character, and seeking to reconcile our baser instincts of self interest in preserving the .statu quo with the higher principles of national policy, buries the sacred rights for which the people of Vienna are so heroically contending under a load of misrepresentation :—" the people of England must not confound, forsooth, the desperate struggle of the citizens of Vienna with our own glorious Revo lution of 1688 !" And why not? Is it because, in the ormer case, the Austrian people have risen en masse against the degrading and infamous despotism which has so long enslaved them ; while in the latter the principal actors were an oligarchical clique, who for their own selfish interests expelled, with the basest ingratitude, the unhappy Sovereign who had loaded them with his favours ? But history will do jus tice to the heroic people of Vienna. :No matter how this bloody struggle may for the present terminate; it already records the glorious defence of Vienna against the Turks ; in a page as bright it will em blazon the noble deeds and the sufferings of the Viennese when besieged by still more ruthless env• mies, the barbarous hordes and mercenaries of their degraded Sovereign. His infamy is indeed complete, and, as you predict, the day of retribution will as suredly come! From one who has given some atten tion to the policy of Austria, and has found it every where the same, Machiavellian and infamous, perhaps you will think these observations worthy a place in your able and consistent journal, , . , I am, Sir, your obedient servant, November 5, 184 A B. LOVER OF FREEDOM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stit,--Extraordinary pains have been taken by some of our morning journals to represent the leaders of the popular party at Vienna as wild democrats and incendiaries. Little attention has been turned to those regions, and the public is naturally in the dark as to the truth, and therefore not indisposed to receive upon trust what is so confidently asserted. I was mpelf curious to know who were the per sons considered by the Court party as their most dangerous opponents, and consequently such as a servile press would brand with the name of sangui nary democrats. I was quite prepared to find in such an extreme position of affairs persons who might really deserve that appellation brought prominently forward by the force of events. I was, therefore, not a little surprised to see a pa ragraph, quoted from the Berliner Zeitungshalle; of the 31st ult., in which, among the heads demanded by Windischgriitz, that of Pur.sar was mentioned. Now, as the name is uncommon, and there is only one of that name who has come forward in public life, no other person can be meant than Francis Pulsky, of Eperies, a Hungarian country gentleman of good family and fortune, and as little of an ultra of any kind as can be imagined. When still very young be travelled in many parts of Europe, and among others in England. A little work which he published in German, " Tagebuch eines in England reisenden Ungarn," is distinguished by a just appreciation of English life. On his return to his native country, at a period when ultra-Liberal ideas were rife, he was looked upon as a Conservative, and even stood aloof from the moderate Liberals. When he represented his native county, Saros, in the Diet, he was always a member of the committees on commercial law :and all practical measures of material improvement. Since then he married the daughter of a Vienna banker, and devoted him self to the improvement of his estates and the amelioration 'of the - condition of the peasantry residing upon them. When the momentous even ts of the early part of this year occurred; he took office in the then Liberal Aristocratic Ministry of Hungary, as (to use English phraseology) " Under- Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs," Prince Esterhazy being his chief. In this capacity he went to innspruck, and , as he continued i n hi s post even after the res i gnat i on ' of Esterhazy, he was at Vienna during the last out break. As far as can be judged from our scanty ac counts he seems to have urged upon all parties an accommodation. And such a man is to fall a victim to the Jesui and retrograde Camarilla! What f say of Pulsky is from intimate personal knowledge of him some years ago, and I am certain that he is the last person in the world who could be considered violent and revolutionary. Indeed, we must be on our guard against supposing the Liberals generally of Austria to be sans• culottes and dema gogues. Most of them are men of property in lsnd and flocks, and all are (or were) devoted to the reign. ing House, although they detest the system of Met. ternich, and curse the Bavarian alliance which has so long upheld it. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN ENEMY TO MISREPRESENTATION S ONNET. TO SEATS.

She bring; one million dollars from Chagres. The Avon b ro k e down just as she left Fayal. A t Hayti the President had pardoned a great many persons ; several were shot, however, at Jacmel, on the 2d October. Sir Charles Grey, Governor of Jamai ca , h ad re covered from the effects of his accident. Commerce at Jamaica was a little more active ; but island. At distress prevailed throughout the sland. At Aux Cayes the President had it in contempla tion to monopolise the purchase of the coffee crop , divided and then to resell it, half the revenue to be with France, according to the late treaty, which is to commence January let, 1849 . This has op erate d , and will operate, as a check upon importation of goods, until the views of the French Govern men t upon the subject shall become known. The gr ea t hurricane did much damage at Nassau and the Great Bahama. The accounts from the Frankfort Bourse state that the funds had advanced on the news from Vienna. At Amsterdam, by the last report, there was n o t much ac tivity, but prices remained stead ily supported. The recognition by Great Britain of th e R epublic of Liberia has just been announced, and a treuty of com merce is understood to have been arranged. Thi s state was founded by the American Colonization Society in 1820, and continued as a colony under the care of that body until last year, when it was formed into an inde pendent government. A similar recognition has al so been obtained from France. 5 1 A 4 5;4 28 1 4 MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.I CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY. Scarcely any English Wheat has arrived fresh up to our market this meek, coastwise or by land carriage. To-day the stands exhibited very few samples of either red or white. From the want of supply very little busi ness was doing, but M nday's improvement in value was well supported. , The imports of foreign Wheat have exceeded 11,000 quarters. There was a slight improve ment in the demand for that article of grain. Some of the importers refused to sell except at an advance of is per quarter, which the dealers were unwilling to give. All kinds, however, must be considered quite as dear. The sale for Barley was slow, but we have no further &cline to notice in value. The Oat trades was tolerably steady, at fully Monday's quotations. Large supplies of 'oreign are close at hand. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn were dull in sale, but not cheaper. There was rather more business doing in Flour, at ex. reme currencies. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat.

The Lord Chancellor sat to-dey at ten o'clock in his Court in the Old Hall, Lincoln's Inn. MARTIN V. WELSTEAD—JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this case, the arguments in which were concluded yes terday. The case came before his Lordship upon appeal from the decision of the Viee-Chancellor of England. The question on the case arose upon the construction of the will of Charles Welsteail, E.q., of Valentines, in the county of Es-ex, who died in November, 1832, and who bequeathed all his wines, provisions, plate, plated goods, jewels, linen, china, pictures, books, household goods and furniture, horses, carriages, live and dead farming stock, credits, and other effects, and all the rest and resi due of his moneys, stocks, effects, and securities for money, goods, chattels, credits, and personal estate whatsoever and wheresoever except as therein ex cepted; and subject to the payment of his debts, legacies general and testamentary expenses, unto his wife for her own absolute use and benefit, upon condition that she, within three calendar months after his death, should deliver to his executors a bond in a sufficient penalty for securing payment of one-half part of the value of the wines, &c., bequeathed to her, such value to be ascer tained as therein mentioned. The Vice-Chancellor of England had by his decree declared that the bond only extended to the first portion of the bequests to the wife, and the present appeal was against thst decision. The Lord-Chancellor, after going at some length into the facts of the case, stated his opinion clearly to be that the ( construction put on the words of the will by the Vice- Chancellor, was the true construction, and affirmed his judgment with costs. WALLER v. THE EASTERN COUNTIZS RAILWAY CJIIIPANY The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated that this appeal Was comiromised, and requested that it might be struck out of the paper. 3IAJOR V. MAJOR. The Court then proceeded to hear the arguments in this case, which came before his Lordship upon appeal from the decree of the Vice• Chancellor of England on tt.ree causes. The case occupied the whole morning. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) THE GASLIGHT AND COKE COMPANY V. SYMONDS. The arguments in this case were resumed this morn ing, and occupied the Court the greater portion of the day. The case came before his Lordship upon bill and cross bill, between the Gas Company and a clerk employed by them, and the object of the suit is for an account. VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.) WOOD V. SMITH. The further argument on this part heard case occu pied his Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England the whole morning. (Before the Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) His Honour heard bankrupt petitions to-day, but no case of any interest came before the Court. (Before the Vice-Chancellor Wlonsm.) ELLIS V. COWNE. - JUDGMENT. The VICE-CHANCELLOR gave judgment today in this case, which was argued before him upon bill and answer some time since. The bill was filed by the plaintiff, a widow lady residing in Huntsworth-terrace, Salisbury-street, Borough, and it prayed that she might be relieved from a warrant of attorney, that she had ex ecuted, and that an injunction might be granted re straining the defendant from proceeding against her under the warrant of attorney„ and from selling or parting with the possession of the business and stock in trade of a pawnbroker's shop in the Borough, and that the Court would order the defendant to pay back to the 'plaintiff the monies she had advanced under the warrant of attorney, that war rant having been obtained from her by misrepresentation and fraud. The facts of the case appear to be these:—The plaintiff, Mrs. Sarah Ellis, was a widow, residing in lluntswortb-terrace, Salisbury-street, Borough ; and one of the defendants, Samuel Cowne, was a surgeon, and in addition to that profession carried on the business of a pawnbroker in a shop nearly facing the residence of the plaintiff. The other defendant was Henry Cowrie, son of Samuel Cowne, who was placed by his father in the management of the pawnbroking ibusiness. The bit stated that an intimacy had arisen between the plaintiff and Henry Cowne, who had made matrimonial adv.inces to her; that the plaintiff was of an easy and confiding disposition, liable to be imposed upon, and she had on various occasions advanced to Henry Cowne considerable sums of money, and at last, for the purpose of enabling him to set up in business, and make his own living, she had advanced a sum of 1,5001. for the purchase of the pawnbroking business from his father, upon a statement that the value of it was much greater than it really was; that she had been induced to sign a warrant of attorney for 1,2001., part of this sum, which was to be paid by instalments; for part of the remainder she had given a bill of 811., and the rest was owing to her by Samuel Cowne ; that after this transaction the conduct of Henry Cowne had been much altered towards the plaintiff, and his affection had considerably cooled; that. in tact, he had given up all intention of marrying her; that the plaintiff had paid three instalments under the warrant of attorney, but she had subsequently be come aware that the pawnbroking business had been very much over-valued, and she.had ascertained that the defendants were rtmoving from the shop much of the properly contained therein. She therefore refused to continue the instalments. An injunction was granted to restrain the defendants from taking any proceedings under the warrant of attorney, and to restrain them from selling or parting with the possession of the business or the stock in trade and effects of the pawnbroker's shop. The defendauts by their answers, denied that the plain tiff was of an easy and confiding disposition, et liable to 20% 17% 'F NOVEMBER 8, 1848, The LORD MAY OR'S PROCESSION.

We have heard from gocd authority, although no official intimation has yet been made of the fact to the Admiralty by the Commander-in-chief at Portsmouth, that Sir Bladen Capel has determined to nominate his old flag-lieutenant, Capt. th e H on . J ames R o b er t Drum ' mond (1846), to succeed Capt. Charles Eden as his flag captain. This gallant officer is the second son of Viscount Stratballan, and last commanded the Scout, sloop. Capt. Henry Eden, nominated to succeed Commodore Sir J. Gordon Bremer, K.C.8., K.C.H., as superintend ent of Woolwich Dockyard, paid a visit to the gallant ofßcer at that establishment yestt-rday. Commander Hugh Goold (1830), who it will be re membered was obliged to give up his avpointrnent at Portsmouth ordinary in consequence of the severe and I dangerous injuries he received from falling into the hold I of the ordinary flag-ship, has had a pension of 1001. per annum conferred upon him. This gallant officer is a I lieutenant of 1808, and has seen much distinguished ser vice. In 1810, when employed in the flotilla at the siege of Cadiz, he sustained a severe hurt, for which, however, he received no pension. The Orestes. 14, Commander Hawker, fitting along side the jetty, is to have the following armament, in stead of 18 guns (as in her last commission) of light metal --12 long 32-pounders of 25cwt. each, and two 32- pounders of 39 owt. each. She is fitting rapidly, as is the Reynard, which the present fine weather greatly facilitates. The Sharpshooter iron steam-schooner, Lieutenant- Commander Bailey, has reported more defects, Mhich, it is alleged, will require 20 dad s' attention from the engi neers and shipwrights of the dockyard. This vessel seems troubled with the Atnphion's complaint. She has been altering, refitting, and re fitting ever since she was commissioned, in March last, and has never teen to sea without breaking down herself, or some other ship during that time. The Netley, tender to the flag-ship at Plymouth, which has been recently reported to be lost, having been mistaken for an Ordnance hoy of the same name, ar rived here to-day with men for the Daphne, 18, Captain E. G. Fanshawe, fitting at Sheerness. These were im mediately forwarded by railway, together with such as had been entered at this port. The Netley sailed again for Devonport this afternoon. THE FLEET IN SERVICE ORDER.—The following is the numbr and force of the ships at present in com mission and in ordinary in the British navy ;-19 first rates, of from 120 to 100 guns each, mounting 2,216 guns ; 76 second and third rates, of from 104 to 70 guns each, mounting 6,196 guns ; 126 fourth, fifth, and sixth rates, of from 65 to 18 guns each, mounting 1,873 guns ; 79 sloops, of from 18 to 8 guns each, mounting 986 guns ; 16 brigs, of from 6 to 3 guns each, mounting 78 guns. Steamers-22 ships and frigates, with an aggre gate power of 12,222 horses, and mounting 281 guns ; 42 sloops of an aggregate power of 13,300 horses, and mounting 251 guns ; 38 gun-vessels of an aggregate power of 6,743 horses ; and mounting 125 guns ; 2 screw schooners, whose joint power is 120 horses, and mounting 20 guns ; steam-guard-ships, classed as fourth rates, 3,800 horse-power ; grand total, 420 vessels, mounting 15,026 guns. Of this force 104 are steam vessels propelled by engines of an aggregate power of 36,180 horses. This return does not include the mail flotilla of Dover, Holyhead, Liverpool, other stations, &c. The Plumper steam-vessel, of 60 horse-screw power, will be commissioned to-day, at Portsmouth, for foreign service. Commander Nolleth was appointed to her on Monday. She will have 110 men and officers. I 1 SIR CHARLES NAPIER'S SQUADRON.—The followin g ships and vessels are at Spithead:—The St. Vincent, 120 guns (flag-ship of Sir Charles Napier), Captain S. C. Dacres; the Prince Regent, ,92, Captain W. F. Martin: these are both reported to be ready for sea, although the Admiral has not re mounted his upper-deck guns; the Powerful, 84, Captain the Hon. Robert Dundas, C. 8., entering men to make up 750, of which number she needs about 80; the Driver, steam-sloop, Commander R. C. Johnson, are awaiting orders, ready for sea: the . Sharpshooter, iron schooner, Lieutenant Bailey, R.N., commanding. The Driver is not under Sir C. Napier's ( orders. The Reynard, steam-schooner, is refitting in the basin at Portsmouth, to join Sir Charles; the Rifleman, steam-schooner, is also refitting at the same yard, to join the same squadron; and it is expected the Teazer, at Woolwich, the Daphne, fitting out at Chatham; the Orestes, fitting at Portsmouth, also the Plumper at the same port, and the Amazon corvette, at Plymouth, will be sent after Sir Charles, to have a trial of sailing under kis orders. The St. Vincent, Prince Regent, Powerful, Reynard, ;Rifleman, Sharpshooter, and Tenzer, are ex pected to sail from Portsmouth on the 17th inst., in the presence of the Court. PROMOTION. Mate—W. G.

Mr. Henry Fley, of Bangor House, in the chair. The report for the past year was el a very satis factory character; although at the close of the last elec. tion there were fifty-five pensioners on the funds, five beyond the original number contemplated, the annual subscriptions bad been more than sufficient to meet the expenditure. his Royal Highness Prince Albert, on being requested to become patron of the society, readily consented, accompanying his consent with a donation of 251., and the subscription of Mr. Luke James Hansard, since the institution of the society, amounted to 180 L A further addition of 430/. 6s. 10d. had, in the last year, been made to the funded property of the society, leaking the total amount of the funded property 5,0141. 4s. 6d.

EXTENSION OF TIME FOR MAKING RAILWAYS.-- The Gazette of last night contains the formal certificate of the Railway Commissioners, in favour of the Corn wall Railway, and of the Delabole and Rock Railway, for an extension of time in carrying out their works. By an Act passed last session, entitled, " An Act to give further time for making certain railways," this important power is conferred on the Commissioners, and the specific object of the Act is to relieve the pressure on the money market, occasioned by calls on the railway shares, and likewise to put the railway companies in possession of a more expeditious and less expensive mode of proceeding than is involved in a direct applica tion to Parliament. A large number of railway com panies have availed themselves of this relief. 125 ap plications have been received and con.idered. Of these 121 have been entertained, and in moat cases the appli cations for the extension of time asked for has been granted for the full additio na l term of two years allowed by the Act. Four applications were refused, on the ground that there were special provisions in the Act making the completion of the railway compulsory. PROTECTION OF TRADE.—A"llleEting of the Lon don Association for the Protection of Trade, was held last evening in Exeter-Hall, Mr. G. Cotton in the chair, to protest against the recent conduct of the managing committee of that body, in taking steps to effect the amalgamation of the Association with the City of Lon don Trade Protection Society. The London Associa tion consists of 2,000 subscribers, and was established, as stated by the chairman, for the protection of trade by the detection of impostors endeavouring to obtain goods on false pretences, fur the collection of bad debts, and for securing the advice of a paid solicitor on matters of business. It appears that the manag ing committee hare lately voted its amalgamation with the City of London Society, without ob taining the concurrerce of a genet al meeting of the subscribers, and without having given any notice of their intention to their constituents, and that they have further discharged the officers of the association and closed its premises. The conduct of the commivee was condensnt d in strong terms by Messrs. Owen Sedgwick, Green, Hill, and other speakers, as surreptitious, and a vio!ation of public duty, and resolutions to that effect were adopted. Three days ego Visccunt Oliver d'Archiac, son-in law of Marshal Ggrard, lost his life by the following accident:—Being out shooting near Beaune, he was giving his dogs some bread, when, in their struggles for the morsels, one of them touched the tiigger of his fowling- piece and let it off, lodging the charge iu his head.

SALE OF THE QUADRANT COLONADE.—Yesterday the finishing stroke to the work of Nash was given by the disposal of the columns forming the colonade of the Regent-street Quadrant by public auction. The sale took place at the Caf6 de Paris, Vine-street, and excited considerable interest, the room being crowded by archi• tects, surveyors, builders, and a large number of the in• habitants of Regent-street. Messrs. Eversfield and Horne were the auctioneers. Tho auctioneer having read the conditions of sale, said that, with reference to the fourth, requesting the buyer to clear the lots within twelve days after the sale, it might occur that the columns would not be in a condition to be removed so soon. When that happened parties would receive notice, and in three days alter such notice they would be compelled to clear the lots. The columns were divided into lots (of four, six, and two each) for the convenience of pur chasers, and on the first lot being put up, consisting of six columns, the auctioneer stated that each column weighed 35 cwt., and cost the sum of 351. in putting up. The first offer for each column was U. los. Eventually the six columns in this lot sold for 7k 10i. each, exclu- - - sive of the granite plinths, which were sold separately. The other columns, forming the twenty-nine lots, fetched sums averaging from 61.55. to 71. 103. each.
