EASTERN AllcinvELAGo COMPANY Instituted for the Extension of Commerce in the China Seas NA for Promoting the Civilization of Borneo. &e. Incorporated by Royal Charter. Capital, 200,0001., to 2,000 Shares of 1001, each. DlalieTo/111. JOHN MACGREGOR, Esq., Chairman. Captain C. R. Driakwater Bethune, R.N.. C.B. idemaader Nairae, Esq., Director of the rauliasular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. Tlngh Hamilton Lindsay, ER. Sir Jolla Pirie, Bart. Deputy-Chairman of the Paula . sugar and Orient al Steam Navigation Company. n Henry Wise, Esq. alekzas—Messrs, Glyn, Hallifax, Mills, and Co., London. The objects of this Company are to carry on mining , agricu l t ural, Itad trading operations in the Eastern Archipelago, and the acquiring and disposing of lands in the Island of Labuan and the parts adjacent :s.i2ale tro regio p n ic a ai bounding in mineral wealth, most fertile in all the vain productions, and very happily situate for the purposes of commerce. The Island of Labuan has been formally taken possession of by the Crown of Great Britain ; and, by a treaty with the Sultan of Romeo, n7 highly Important advantages are permanently secured to this Country. Piracy lit the eastern aces will now be effectually suppressed; under the protection of the Britieh flag at Labuan, a new era 7: lards those regions, 11103 comineuced, winch affords the most fa- Compopportunity for successfully accoinplishing the o b j ects of this ny. is To those who are at all acquainted with the Indian Archipelago, it wholly unnecessary to expatiate on the advantages to be derived from „,: this undertaking. The impertan t discovery of an abundant stip eXcellent coal ea the mainland of Borneo, in the immediate vi .LIY Of Labuan, is a circuinstaace which of itself would render this 7,7"rP. L ._rise pregnant with the most beneficial results. A formal grant shit coal, windbag through a district of about 150 mile s, has been ,b 44 144 from the Sultan of Borneo, and is, with the approval of her Government, now held by Mr. Wise, with whom arraage *".ata for its working will be made. ,'r h. working of the coal mines will form an important feature in ▪ Operations of the Company, le geographical position of the Borneo coal districts In relation to Our Eastern poesessions, and to the steam communications which are 1 "" earned on, and others which are about to be carried on in con :exion therewith, is a matter of peculiar interest, and even of ria- Zral importance. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigat ion ton , IA P,a ,l 7. for instance, disburse more th a n 130,0001. annually fur tor their steam-vessels, of which sum about 90,0001. are ex pended in coal used to the eastward of the Cape of Good lioae. This ral• as well as the requisite supplies for the steatn.vessels of her s, Natre navy, and for those of the Honourable East India Com rtaaY en the India and China stations, is at present chiefly furnished Rem England, at an average cost exceeding 335. per ton ; so that the rkriditure by her Majesty's Government , the Honourable East In- Company, and the Peninsular and Oriental Company for the fert ile item of coal, will be considerably reduced as soon as the opera ftens of the Eastern Archipelago Company are sufficiently matured t ° admit of their supplying the several depots which have been esta blished at Hong-Kong, Singapore, and other places, with coal for the ale of the many;British and Foreign stn: m-vessels rcorthig to those Potts. The certain increase in the consumption of coal in the eastern "2 4 , from the causes already mentioned, and the opening of other rahaels of demand, cannot fail eventually to aug t n ent the use of ‘"eraeo coal. The projected steam communication between Singapore Mid our Australian colonies—the probable communication by the spalskelllOULS at no distant period, between the various British settle- Inlnte to the eastward of the Cape of Good Hope and the west coast of Aane:ica—as well as the system of railways now about to be tate alished in India—are events eminently calculated to occasion an Itarnense consumption of Borneo coal, the more so as it can be sop- Plied at comparatively moderate rates. Samples of the Labuan and ISorneo coal have been brought over to this country by Mr. Wise, and submitted by her Majesty's Government to a caretill examination and analysis by competent parties, with a most satisfactory result. The Borneo coal has else been pronounced by the Calcutta a oaf Committee, appointed by the Bengal Government, to be equal to the best English coal ; and Captain Wallage, in his report on the supplies of teal obtained front the seam at Labuan, for the use of the Honourable Zest India Company's steam-ship Nemesis, dated Sarawak, 10th . 7 4 , 2 e, 1847, observes—" I have no heeitation in stating that the coal foceived at Labuan is equal to any English coal I have seen on board Steamers in India, and decidedly better than any coal worked in ladle for steam purposes.' The portion of territory' contemplated for the first operations of the Xastern Archipelago Company possesses a climate and soil admir ably adapted for the culture of cotton, tobacco, sugar, coffee, rice, nutmegs, pepper, and other valuable peoductions, and is most favourably situate, having the advantage of Labuan, now subject to Ylritish dominion, as a point d'appul ; nor can there be a doubt of the excellent position of the proposed field of enterprise for an ex tensive and lucrative commerce. The proximity of Java, Sumatra, &am, Cochin-China, Hainan, Manilla, Celebes, &c., is not only of treat importance in this respect, but also as affording the means of Introducing with facility from those places Chinese and other cold I ll Ate, sad labourers to any extent required for the service of the Compaay. Labuan itself will form an essential link In the chain of our eastern settlements, from Penang, Malacca, and Singapore to /long Long ; and in the district of Sarawak every protection and litteouragement will be granted by Mr. Brooke in furtherance of the Company's objects. In short, every circumstance justifies the anti tiPation that the late proceedings of the British Government relating to Borneo, if followed up with vigour by the operations of the pre- Seut Company, will change that which has been heretofore a region Of piracy, lawless violence, danger and desolation, into a scene of last', peaceful, and beneficial commerce; bringing the advantages of Vogreesiee civilisation to a large and fertile tract of the globe, and conferring extensive benefits on the commerce and manufactures of Great Britalu. The philanthrorist and the statesman, as well as the 'Merchant, will thus feel interested iu this design, which, through the rae4lum of British enterprise, sanctioned and protected by the wis dom and decision of the Government, promises the amelioration of the condition of the natives of the Indian Archipelago, among whom there exists a disposition most favourable to the development of the Illeonrcea of those countries. The view here taken of the promising character of the underktk- Int is not hypothetical, but is the result of the arduous personal re- Starches of various individuals, who, in times past, have been de glrous of widening the circle of commerce and civilization, end, among others more recently, of Mr. Wise, who has for several years devoted his time to the closest investigation of the subject. To his Patient and indefatigable perseverance for a long period in calling the attention of her Majesty's Government to the importance of seaman as the site of a British settlement, may be ascribed the fact, . 41 that the protection of our flag is now ex tended to countries so important both in a political and commercial point of view. The Queen has appointed Mr. Brooke Governor arid Ca mmander ti an -Chief in and over the Island of Labuan and its dependencies, as well as her Majesty's Commissioner and Consul-General to the Sultan and independent chiefs of Borneo. These measures, and the course of Policy which they indicate, will materially* faciatate and advance the objects and interests of the Company throughout the Eastern Ar- Ohleelago. The Company being incorporated by Royal Charter, the responsi allity of each shareholder is limited to the amount of his subscrip . tten.

Campbell, Esq. W.S. The extremely depressed circumstances of vast numbers of the 001nrnunity, and the necessity of adopting some effectual means for their improvement, long occupied the minds of the benevolent and philanthropic in Scotland. Apart from the destitution induced by gratuitous criminality, it was evident that much of the distress of the bumbler classes arose out of circumstances over which they had little or 'no control. In aggravation of other evils, indigence conti nually drives numbers of the rural and urban population to occupy pestiferous dwellings where their own health or lives are sacrificed, and whence those of the higher classes also are invaded. Although possessing fields of employment capable of remunerating if properly cultivated, the Highland fishermen and crofters aro frequently in destitution, requiring the intervention of public charity to avert actual starvation. Although Scotland boasts a number of charitable institutions, it possessed no organization for aiding the industrious to raise them selves from destitution, or to prevent their falling into depressed sircumstances on the failure of employment, until a number of In fluential and benevolent persons, in September, 1846. _ determined to act upon the principle snceessfully carried out In England, of forming it great national institution, which should seek to improve generally the eondltion of the labouring classes, by various means adapted to that end, and accordingly the Scottish Patriotic ,Society was In- Stituted. The distinguishing features of this society are, its non-political Sad non-sectarian character, and its antagonism to pauperisin b - ten dendea—its great objects being, to enable the poor to help them Pelves ; to develop the resources of the land, of the sea, and of the colonies ; and to demonstrate how the labour of the otherwise un employed and indigent classes may ho applied therein, so as to sup port and remunerate themselves, thereby indirectly lelleving and benenting the whole community. It must be evident, that if agi I. cultural and similar societies are useful to the Intelligent, the erganlaatlon of the Patriotic Society is unspeakably more neeeesary to the uninstructed and destitute. The emergency is great, and the field of exertion a wide one, but experience has already demonstrated, that the efforts of the Patriotic Society are telling effectually where they are so much needed. Hitherto the pecuniary means at Its disposal have been too limited to ena ble it to enter so e x te n sively upon its labours as Is neeessazy, and i ts promoters confidently make the present appeal for extended means of usefulness. Every ens is more or less directly interested in the success of its attempts to improve the sanatory condition of the tatiOler 01114165, SW to raise them from mere PanPere and cox- N0.17,309.] LONDON, TF.tuRsDAY VENING Somers, into the successful and self-supporting producers of food, as it is impossible for the Society to effect sanitary improvements In the dwellings of the bumbler classes, and be augment the produce of the country, without benefiting the other classes, who often become the victims of pestilence, and must, without such industrial improvements, 'Windt to pay higher prices for food, consequent upon numbers having to be supported in idleoess out of the general stock. That the tendency of the moans adopted by the Patriotic Society is to effect these Improvements, Is beyon i all question, and it solicits the Investigation of the Intelli gent community, the principles involved, not being matters of indif ference, but lying at the very fcoindation of national prosperity and safety OBJECTS.

Marriage require:, the fulfilment of several eonditlene. In order that it may really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised. and its true source in every instance diselosed, tz, hew many could tine traced to physical disqualifleations and their attendant dlsap oointments. Excesses are always hllariona ; the gift, w hi ch whoa used in moderation is fraught with advantage, incomes, whoa abused, the orolilc source of mischief and of treater or lees Injury to the constitutional and lital powers. The Particular exceeae., ea • nature and consee acne* of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the hantam frame, than any other to which it is sablecit. This work eentains as ateurate and complete amount of the Aaatenny and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditlone la health and disease. It deservedly requires, the elosest attention and etidj, for ,what subject CAR be of more importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of whirs& every man should rye poevessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the fbilies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Sharae and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these eomplaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination. a ascertaining the causes of tisease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the latelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can skew by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that ho is entitled to esteem and respect in Ms profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his dthlernas certify, and the great extent of his practice Mr many years is a ruarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

TRAINING INSTITUTION FOR NURSES FOR HOSPITALS, FAMILIES, AND TIIE POOR. All who are professionally ceaversant with the eondition if oar Hospitals complain of the inadequate supply of well-trained nurses as an evil seriously interfering with the efficient discharge of their du ties. They cannot trust to their orders being executed by the nurses, and they find that the patients suffer from faults of those on whom, iu their state of helplessness, they are almost entirely depen dent; and it is obvious that any defects in the tempers and charao ten of those who are constantly with the sick must exercise a hurt ftg influence upon the state of their miuds, and must tend to neutral ize the effect of the religions instruction and consolation whieh tkey receive while he the hospital. It is also matter if general notoriety that great difficulty is found in obtaining well qualified nurses to attend on patients in private families, especially in those of the middle and lower classes ; and parochial clergymen feel the want of competent persons on whom they could rely, in *elating the sick of their respective parishes, and administering to their bodily wants. The most effectual, perhaps the only effectual, remedy for these evils, is to train up a body of nurses who shall be taught to look upon their work as a religious cone, to undertake it with habits of self-control, and with a mind understanding it fully, and prepared for its trying and painful duties. The want here spoken of has been felt in other countries as well as in our own, and attempts have been made to meet it. Orders of persons devoting themselves to visiting the sick exist in Roman Catholic countries : an " Institution of Deaconesses" has been found useful in Prussia ; a recent attempt to improve the respectability of professional nutses has worked beneficially in England. The Insti tution which it is proposed to found under the name of " Training Institution for Nurses" will be based on the doctrine and discipline of the Church of England ; and it will seek to accomplish its object, not by selecting the self-devoted few who are permitted by freedom from other duties to give themselves entirely to this, but by endea vouring to act, both directly and indirectly, upon the whole body of persons who are pursuing this as their regular calling in life. To raise the character of the class by offering to its members a training which shall qualify them ter their professional work, and be at the same time essentially a religious training ; to hold out, to those who are justified in seeking for it, the prospect of a higher professional position than they could otherwise obtain : and to afford also to those who are ready (without hope of any earthly reward) to give themselves to this work as one of Christian love, a legitimate field of labour: these arc the means which, as they have been successful in forming the high character of the clergy and physicians of Eng land, may, it is hoped, be new instrumental, under God's blessing, in raising that of a body which is at present so much in want of improvement. It is proposed that the Training Institution should be under the immediate superintendence of a clergyman of the United Church of England and Ireland, as Master. That the inmates of the Institution should consist of three classes :- 1. Those under training as probationers. 2. Those who, after pawing through the period of probation sa tisfactorily, are admitted as nurses, on condition of their engaging to continue in connexion with the Institution for a period of five years from their admission. During this period they will be clothed and maintained, and receive a fixed annual stipend, and in return will be entirely under the control of the governing bode' of the In stitution. At the end of these flue years they will be entitled to receive from the Institution a certificate of their qualification as musts, and thenceforward to pursue their calling, either in connexion with the Institution, or independent of any direct control from it. It is be lieved that this will be a very Important step towards gradually raising the character of the whole class. A nurse having this eel-t -rate will necessarily occupy a higher position than others, will be likely to set au example which can scarcely fail to have a good effect upon them, and will encourage those who are looking forward to this as their work in life, to follow in the same course, and submit them selves to the training of this Institution. 3. In addition to these there will be it class of sisters, which is in tended to comprise persons, of whatever station in life, who are willing to devote themselves to the work of attending the sick and poor, or of educating others for it under an organised system like that which is ill be here provided for them. The management of the Institution will be confided to a council of twenty-tour members, (exclusive of the master, who will be ex officio a member,) belonging to the United Church of England and Ireland, who shall be chosen by the Governors out of their own body. A donation of fifty guineas in one payment, or in several payments within four years, or an annual subscription of five guineas, will con stitute a Governer. A donation of twenty guineas in one payment, or in several pay ments within four years, or an annual subscription of two guineas, will constitute a Donor. The Lord Bishop of London has sanctioned the plan now sub mitted to the public, and has kindly consented to become Provident of the Institution. It has also received the approbation of the Lord Archbishop of York, and the Bishops of Lichfield, Salisbury, Gloucester and Bristol, Ripon, and Norwich. The Rev. C. Wordsworth, D.D., George Frere, Esq., and Dr. Latham, have kindly consented to act as Trustees to the Insti tution. Henry Sykes Thornton, Esq., has consented to act as Treasurer.

" Sin,—l feel pleasure in being able to bear my strong and unsoli cited testimony to the excellence of your ' Frampton's Pill of Health,' which I consider a most safe, efficacious, and very superior ge neral medicine.

She has recommended them extensively, and in one Instance in which she induced a person to adopt them, and supplied the tat box herself, they have proved of extraordinary efficacy. I think that, perhaps, there is scarcely any other of the many patent medi cines before the public of equal value as a ' friend in need ;' certainly none possessed of superior claims.

It was a spilech full of good sense, profound discrimi nation, and breathing the most statesmanlike views, and was particularly valuable at the present moment. On the part of the association ho (the Chairman) promised that the recommendations of the Noble Lord with regard to the maintenance of peace, law, and order should be strictly and faithfully carried out. That the Repeal As sociation was devoted to the maintenance of peace bad been already demonstrated, and he (the Chairman) thanked God there was no danger of its being either seduoed into folly or misled into crime, and it was a proud reflection to consider that it was to their devoted attachment to order they were indebted for the presence of the Noble Lord.—(Cheers.) The association was aware that parochial meetings had been called for Friday next for e. legal and constitutional purpose, and they were also aware that similar meetings were to take place in Dublin. As alderman of the Town Council, he (the Chairman) had summoned the burgesses of the ward he represented to meet on that day to petition Parliament for a repeal of the union, and he believed the same course wound be adopted by the other wards of the city. A sort of terror seemed to have gone abroad about those meetings, and persons in power and out of power, but anxious to get into power if they could, ap peared to be willing to disturb the peaceful course of agitation—a notion, he repeated, had gone abroad that there was to be a monster meeting. No such matter was ever contemplated by the association.—(Hear, hear.) What the association contemplated was to gather into one focus the united voice of the Irish people, in a temperate but determined manner, and te demand with such united force their constitutional rights, and any man who at those meetings broached doctrines condemned by the Noble Lord, who would endeavour te excite the people to illegality, would be either a fool or one of the basest of men.—(Cheers.) The rumours to which he had adverted might have been sent abroad with a view of exciting the foolish and unwary, but he trusted those machinations would fail, and as he well knew they would, because the people knew too well the advantages of peace aid order, to which they were at all times so faithfully attached, to be led astray by fools or knaves. In conclusion the Chairman expressed his concurrence in the doctrines enunciated by Lord Mil town, and then handed is a sum of money, the subscrip tion of an individual attached to " the O'Connell policy of peace, law, and order." It will be seen from the above speech, that the idea of bolding a monster meeting and procession in Dublin on the 17th, if any such were ever indulged, has been abandoned so far as the members of the Repeal Associ ation are concerned. Mr. JOHN OlCoxtrzu, addressed the meeting at 6, 1848. [PRICE SD. He left the vessel in charge of Robert Newman, the pilot, and told witness that, when he had brought the vessel to Gravesend, he or Captain Tindal would meet him. He gave witness 50 dollars to pay the pilot, and took away a trunk and portmanteau. The trunk and portmanteau were heavy, but not out of the way. The ship's letters were put together with one from the pri soner to Messrs. Hutton. Ile had subsequently found a number of bags in the prisoner's cabin similar to those produced, as also some canvass and thread. Geerge Homier, the second mate, said be recollected the night of the 3d of February. He was keeping watch. He saw the prisoner come on deck, and heard a splash in the water as of something heavy. He did not speak to the prisoner, who went down into his cabin, nor did he hear him say anything. William Ansell, a seaman, said he was at the helm, when the prisoner came up the companion with only his shirt on. He had apparently a box under his left arm. He ran to the larboard side of the ship, and threw what ho was carrying overboard. He then staggered back and fell on his side. After lying about a minute, he got up and went towards the companion, saying, " You shan't have that ; kill me if you like." The night was was very dark, and he could not see anything overboard. He signed the document written by Peter Rowe in the log-book. Mr. Emanuel Emanuel was next sworn on the Old Testament, and said—l am a bullion merchant, and carry on business with my partner, Ezekiel Emanuel, in High-street, Portsmouth. The prisoner, who Was pre• viously a stranger, came to me about ten minutes after two o'clock on Thursday, the 2d of February. He asked me what we gave for doubloons and dollars, and I said 635. for Spanish doubloons, and for dollars I gave 41. Id. He asked what I gave for gold dust, and ho produced some from a bag. He said he had been recommended to me by Messrs. Gsrradd and Gibbons, the agents to Lloyd's. I asked him what he wanted an ounce for the gold, and he said he had got at Hyam's, on Cornhill, and another refinery, 675. or 68s. I said it was not ' Worth moro to us than 61s. per ounce, and he agreed to the price. He then produced nine Spanish doubloons and a Mexican one, and two quarter doubloons. I weighed the gold dust. It was 29 ounces 10 dwts., and I gave him altogether for it and the doubloons 1251. 7s. I paid him with a SOL cheque on the National Provincial Bank, and the remainder in Gash and notes. Before I bought the gold I put some questions to him, and he said he came from Zanziba, by the ship Persian, which I know then to be in the port, and I concluded that the prisoner was a merchant just arrived. He had not the least appearance of a sailor. He said, before he left me, that he would bring up some dollars and the re• mainder of the gold, giving me to understand that was all he had. He was gone about a quarter of an hour, when he returned with 119 dollars and a five-franc piece and some more gold. I tested this, and it boiled up, showing that there was considerable alloy in it. I told him it was an inferior quality, and I could not give him more than 601., and that I had rather be without it. The prisoner accepted the offer, and I weighed it. The bag contained 39 ounces 5 dwts. I asked him if ho would like cash or a cheque on a London banker, as I understood he was going to the metropolis, and he pre ferred the latter. I gave him a cheque for 142 L ss. The entire weight of the gold was 15 ounces. I asked him if he had anything else to dispose of, and he said he had some filigree gold, and if I would look in upon him at the Quebec Hotel, at five o'clock, he would show it me. I went at six o'clock, and he was gone. Police-sergeant Emmerson, 98, and police-constable Gibbs, 772, then gave evidence similar to that wh i c h has already appeared respecting the apprehension of the pri soner and the finding the major part of the gold dust in his possession. Upon the prisoner was found a gold chronometer, and 51. ss. in cash. There is still a defici ency of 251. The police produced the bags and the belt which had been emptied at the Bullion-office. The belt, in the making of which the prisoner had displayed great ingenuity, will have to be burnt after the trial to abstract the remaining gold. The voluminous depositions which had been taken by Mr. Alfred Taylor were then read over, and the prisoner, who made no defence, was committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court. considerable length, and congratulated the association an the appearance of the natural leaders of tho people amongst them. The time he believed to :be at hand when the object for which they were contending would be achieved, and it required but the union of repealers to accelerate such a consummation. For his part he was ready to make every concession consistent with th e actual safely of the association, for the purpose of effect ing unanimity and fraternity. The Hon. Gentleman then referred to the 17th instant, and repudiated the no tion of a procession, on the ground that such a demon stration would interfere materially with the ward and local meetings, and might also be made the means of ex citing disturbances, and of enabling the enemies of the people to makes profit of their blood. He then submit ted to the meeting the draft of a Bill for the repeal of the union, prepared by . the late Mr. O'Connell, and expressed his determination to lay a copy of it on the table of the House of Commons before Easter. The standing orders were then suspended, and a re solution passed, calling on the people:to abstain from the exhibition of all emblems, standards, or flags at the meetings to be held throughout Ireland on the 17th instant. DECLARATION OF CONFIDENCE IN GOVERN- MENT. DUBLIN, MARSH 14.—At half-past two o'clock this afternoon the heads of the University of Dublin waited on the Lord-Lieutenant for the purpose of laying before bis Excellency the declaration of confidence in the Executive Government and protest against the wicked attempts which are now being made to induce a foreign Government to interfere, directly or indirectly, in the domestic affairs of this country. This early expression of public opinion is valuable as emanating from a corpo ration representing the learning, intelligence, and loyalty of the middle and upper classes throughout the king dom, and contrasts favourably with the conduct of other public bodies, to whom recent events ha►e furaised fresh stimulants for the dissemination of sedition and popular turbulence. It was at first resolved that the heads of the college and a body of students, to the number of 1,500, should proceed in procession to the Castle, but in the afternoon a communication was received from his Excellency, requesting that, for obvious reasons, no such domonstra tion las the one contemplated should take place, and suggesting that the deputation should be limited to the Provost and a few of the Fellows, according to the usual routine practice. At a quarter before three o'clock the deputation were ushered into the presence of his Excellency, who was surrounded by the whole of the staff and household. A great numbs of ladies were present. The declaration having been read, his Excellency delivered the following reply :- 1 ‘. Mr. Provost and Gentlemen,—l thank you moat cordially for this address, which is to me the more valuable and important from the fact that your general rule is to abstain from interference in political questions, and the exception you now make to that rule proves that you justly estimate the circumstances in which we are placed, and that you are determined becomingly to meet them. IRELAND. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. DUBLIN, MARCH 13.—The proceedings of this day have been looked forward to with a considerable share of interest and anxiety, and the greatest desire to ascer tain what course the leaders of this section of politicians would recommend for the adoption of their followers on the eventful 17th instant, seemed to prevail. As might be anticipated, therefore, Conciliation Hall was crowded at an early hour by those anxious to obtain good places, and at the hour appointee' for the dispatch of business not a seat remained unoccupied. Mr. Hodges, the Government reporter, again fills the box wh'oh he occu pied from the period of the monster meetings, in 1842, to the accession of the present Ministry to office, and his appearance seemed to be generally welcomed. The ladies' galleries were unusually crowded, and the utmost enthusiasm seemed to prevail. A new convert to repeal, in the person of the Earl of Milltown, was an nounced, and the appearance of the Noble Lord was hailed by loud and protracted applause. It is quite manifest that the affairs of Conciliation Hall are look ing O up. n the motion of Mr. JOHN O'CoNNELL, M.P., the chair was taken by MAURICE O'CONNELL, Esq., M.P., who said that he would confine his remarks merely to the moving of a resolution for the admission into their body of a Noble man whose family had at all times been true to Ireland. He alluded to the Right Hon. the Earl of Miltown.— (Tremendous cheering.) As the Noble Lord (con tinued the chairman) is anxious to address the meet ing, I claim for him the most respectful and cordial at tention. The Earl of MILTOWN then proceeded, amidst the most rapturous applause, to address the meeting, and said it was many months since he had publicly declared that, if justice were not done to Ireland, he would join the Repeal Association. What his ideas of justice to Ireland were he had, at the period to which he referred, explicitly defined. Justice to Ireland he conceived to be comprised in the parting declaration of Sir R. Peel when leaving office, namely, perfect equality in civil, political, and municipal rights with England.—(Cheers.) Had the recommendation of Sir Robert Peel been carried out by his successors?—(Cries of " No, no.") No, it had not. What had been the conduct of the Government with regard to the motion of Colonel Dunne? Why that motion, which was supported by the almost unanimous voice of the Irish representatives, was rejected. Never since the days of the ill-starred Union did there exist s uch wonderful unanimity amongst Irish Members on any subject as on that, notwithstanding which their united voice was disregarded.—(Hear, hear.) Whigs, Tories, Free-traders, Repealers, and anti-Repealers were united upon that topic, and what was the question? What was the motion which was so ignominiously re jected f Was it a measure of Ministerial policy? Was it a motion in the most remote degree interfering with English rights ! No; it was a question absolutely and entirely connected with this country.—(Hear, bear.) There was a common but not the less true saying, that no one can tell so accurately where the shoe pinches as the wearer. What parties, then, could more accurately speak or judge of the nature and working of the Irish poor-law as the Irish representatives and Irish landed proprietors who lived in the country, and were fully aware of the working and defects of that system ?—a system, which while it allowed the poor to die of starva tion, imposed a tax on the land of the country amounting almost to confiscation.—(Hear, hear.) He (Lord Miltown) did not wish to be misunderstood—he did not wish it to be imagined that he was opposed to the principle of a poor-law. On the contrary, he could conscientiously declare, in the face of God and of that meeting, that since the very first moment he was capable of forming an opinion on public matters he adhered to that prin ciple, to that great charter of the people's and the poor man's rights, that it is the first duty of property to support the poverty of the country.—(Loud cheers.) He contended that the labourer who had spent his youth and strength in the culture of the soil should have a subsistence out of it in his old age.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) On that great principle the contract between the governors and the governed existed. That principle carried out the immutable law of God who created the earth for man, and ordained that it should yield him sup port. Again, he (Lord Miltown) would ask how it could be said that the promise that England would treat Ire land as a sister, had been carried out when the unanimous voice of the Irish representatives on a question so vitally important to them should have been rejected ?—(flear, hear.) Could it be said that justice was done in that case to Ireland?—(Cries of Ned meeting That was his (Lord Miltown's) first point, keptexplained hie t p o re th m e ise s , at a is n f d yacwtihon he pe why he e red in Conciliation Hall on that day.— hadtahn oh' appeared trusted'a ha d (Cheers.) The Noble Lord having commented at con siderable length on the proceedings of the ultra or revo lutionary party in this country, whose doctrines he stigmatised as being dictated by the grossest ignorance or the deepest treachery, proceeded to advert to the French revolution, which be contended was brought about by the force of public opinion--by the power of moral force. The physical force, he remarked, was all on the side of the deposed tyrant, who sought to coerce the people by the power of the army. The original object of the French people was net revolution, but merely a struggle to preserve the remnant of their constitution. Louis Philippe did not sit upon the throne by the divine right of kings, but by the will of the people.—(Bear, hear.) What was the posi tion of the people of this country? They had a constitutional Queen.—(Loud cheers.) The Noble Lord called on the meeting to give three cheers for her Ma jesty, which was moat loyally responded to. After some further observations, the Noble Lord declared his abhor. rence of making the Repeal Association a stepping-stone to office, and expressed his conviction that were the thirty-eight Repeal Members to unite and oppose the Government on every measure, whether beneficial or otherwise, they would force them to make concessions to Ireland. In conclusion, Lord Miltown called on the people who proposed to meet en St. Patrick's Day to ob serve order, and not to disgrace themselves by resorting to such cowardly and disgraceful riots as took place in England and Scotland. The CHAIRMAN called upon every Irishman at home and abroad, who had heard or should read the speech of " Like you, I entirely disclaim all pretension to pro nounce an opinion upon the affairs of any other country, though we cannot but sincerely and heartily wish that the changes recently made in France may lead to a prosperous issue, and that they may consolidate the social happiness and tranquillity of a great nation, so long and so intimately connected with the progress of intelligence and civilisation ; but every loyal subject, every man who has a spark of feeling for the national honour and independence, must join with you in depre cating all attempts, come from what quarter they may, to induce a foreign Government to interfere in the affairs of this country. _ "It is impossible not to view with abhorrence and disgust the efforts unceasingly made to excite the pas sions of the people, and stimulate them to acts of violence, in reckless disregard of the injury they may cause throughout the country, but more especially to the labouring classes, who, of all others, are most interested in the maintenance of order; for whatever occasions a feeling of insecurity, or leads to a withdrawal of capital, or cessation of employment, is immediately and more severely felt by those whose daily bread, and that of their families, depends upon their labour, than by any others; and if, owing to a state of things which popular tumult is calculated to bring about, works now in hand are suspended, or even the single day's wages lost by the poorer classes of our fellow-countrymen, it can but aggravate the distress which already exists to a frightful extent, not alone in Ireland, but which, owing to a com bination of unfortunate circumstances, may be looked upon as almost universal; while the people should always bear in mind, that punishment usually falls upon the actual perpetrators of outrage, rather than upon those on whom rests the greater guilt of inciting and abetting them. _ _ " I thank you sincerely, gentlemen, for the expression of your confidence, and the offer of your assistance, of which, if it should be necessary, I shall gladly avail myself; but the means at the disposal of the Govern ment are amply sufficient for suppressing any .attempt to disturb the tranquillity of Dublin, and there is no on e who would nacre deeply lament, or be more unwilling to have recourse to such means than myself; but I both hope and believe that the good sense of the people and their knowledge of their own true interests will rise superior to the evil counsels they have re ceived, that they will not be made the dupes and the victims of those who seek to delude them, and that order will in consequence not be disturbed. Should,.how ever, unfortunately, this not be the case, I am well aware of the responsibility that will be imposed upon me; and nothing that a sense of duty dictates shall then be neglected for the suppression of outrage and the maintenance of public order and tranquillity." The College of Surgeons are to present au address or declaration to-morrow. SACRED HArtatosirc SOCIETY. Last evening Mendelssohn's oratorio of St. Paul was performed at Exeter Hall, by the Sacred Harmonic Society. This great work, though produced at an early period in the composer's career (1836), is, perhaps, his noblest effort, and will maintain its hold upon the musical world along with the great masterpieces of the school of sacred, music. Following the prescribed forms adopted by Handel, and more ancient masters, the composer com bines features of beauty, the offspring of his own genius. His fugues and choruses are masterly in the highest degree, and in his airs there is a melodious softness which the sterner composers of the olden time did not aim at. The performance last night, generally speak ing, was creditable. The principal parts were effectiveir Pgiven by Miss Birch, Miis Dolby, Mr. Lockey , and Mr. hillips. INSTITUTION roll THE ADULT DELP AND Duts. —We are happy to see that the Corporation of the City of London, has voted the munificent sum of one hun dred guineas, in aid of the funds of the Institution for the Adult Deaf and Dumb, in Bed Lion-square Bloomsbury. THE NIIW NOVEL " ANGELA," DT THE Arraoz or " Emma. WvwDHAM." It was to be expected that critics would agree in their estimate of this work. It is impossible (says the John Bull) to look for a n ove l by the gifted hand which poartrayed " Emilia Wynd ham," without forming high expectations of the intel lectual amusement it must have prepared for us. An gela,' is a worthy pendant to one of the most able and remarkable productions of our modern school of do mestic novels." "' Angela,' (observes tho Sunday Times) is a charming work--a work full of point and brilliancy—and which is undoubtedly calculated to place its author in the front rank amongst the best writers of the clay. It is unque*onably ono of the most interest ing and stirring novels of the season; abounding, as it does, in the most highly finished, and exquisitely wrought pictures of society, as it exists at present—its Virtues and its vices. The work possesses, in an eminent degree, all those features of attraction which are cal culated to ensure to it a large circle of admiring readers, and to make it take a very high place amongst the literary pro d uc tions of the day." THE NEW COIN OP THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.— In a few days the Mint of Paris will, says the anal. tutionnel, begin to strike coin in the name of the Repub lic. The old dies of Dupre representing Hercules sup ported between the Nation and the Law, with some slight alterations, will, it is said, be used for the new coin, until a fina l decision shall have been come to by the Na tional Assembly. e‘i ivom, .lllas ci , ;.; .

At the Wandsworth Police Court, on Tuesday, John Wm. Thompson, aged thirty-six, late Captain of the Medora schooner, was placed is the dock for final exa mination on a charge of stealing a large quantity of gold dust, some doubloons and dollars, the whole amount ing to nearly 7,000 h in value, and consigned ,to Messrs. W. M. Hutton and Sons, No. 25, Watling-street, City, merchants. The first witness sworn was Mr. William Mackintosh Hutton, who stated that he lived in Larkhall.lane, Clapham, and is in partnership with Mr. Robert Hutton, carrying on business as merchants, under the firm of W. M. Hutton and Sons, at Watling-street. They are the owners of the schooner Medors, and the prisoner had been their captain for five years. In October last he went out to Cape Coast and other places on the Gold Coast of Africa, there to take in a cargo of palm oil and other freight, with gold dust and.specie, as the resi dent merchants might desire to consign homewards. Prisoner had orders from the firm to proceed, as soon as the ship was laden, to the port of London. Prosecutor heard nothing of the vessel until the 3d of March, when he received a number of letters brought by that ship, and one from the prisoner, dated March 2, in which ho stated that on leaving tho Gold Coast he fell ill with the fever, and was attacked with delirium, and that whilst in that state ho threw over the gold dust, and said it was the act of God. Prosecutor had then only bills of lad ing for six hundred ounces of gold dust ; the prisoner had kept back the other bills of lading, and kept him in ignorance of the other consignments. Prosecutor, in consequence of receiving this extraordinary letter, sent two of his clerks to Portsmouth, where the ship was ly ing, and from what they told him on their return he communicated with the police, and on the morning of the 4th of March he accompanied police-constable Gibbs, 77 V, to No. I, Wellington-terrace, Clapham road, where they devised means to ascertain whether the prisoner was there, and finding that he was, prose cutor's son went in doors with the constable, who brought the prisoner out. Gibbs produced a basket containing bags of gold, and prosecutor asked prisoner if that was the gold he had brought on freight, and he said it was. He then asked him for the bills of lading, and he said he did not know what had become of them. Prosecutor asked prisoner how much gold there was in all, and he answered about 1,600 ounces. Prosecutor ob served he had bills of lading for 600 ounces, and asked who the rest was consigned to ? He said about 500 ounces to Messrs. Foster and Smith, and a similar quantity to Messrs. King, of Bristol. Their own bills of lading were for a box containing 100 ounces of gold dust, from Mr. Thomas Hutton, his nephew ; another box from Mr. Samuel Seabro, containing 150 ounces, and a third box from Mary Jackson, containing 350 ounces of gold dust. These were all consigned to their firm, and should have been delivered in the port of London. The ten bags produced, and the belt produced, all made of fine canvass, filled with gold, and marked by prosecutor and the police, were taken to the Bank of England Bullion Office, together with the dollars and doubloons. He attended yesterday at the Bank, and saw the gold taken from the bags produced and weighed ; it amounted to 1,5540 z. 17dwts. ; the value of which was about 6,000/. He had until this occasion no reason to suspect the pri soner's honesty. Mr. Samuel Ohea, clerk to Messrs. Brown and Wim browe, gold refiners, proved that that firm received an authority from Mr. King, of Bristol, to receive 4770 z. of gold dust from Captain Thompson, as also 20 doubloons and 170 dollars, to melt and refine. The firm had re ceived no such package. Mr. John Milner, clerk to Messrs. Foster and Smith, New City Chambers, Bishopsgate, proved that three boxes of gold dust, containing the several quantities of 2750 z., 1620 z., and 112 oz. consigned to them, had not come to hand. Peter Rowe, the first mate, was next sworn, and said he wont out with the prisoner in the schooner Medora in October last. Ho saw a box, which ho supposed con tained gold, come on board at Annamaboe, addressed to Messrs. King. About ten days after leaving the Gold Coast the prisoner became ill, and took to his bed. He was ill twenty-five days, from the 25th of January to the 18th of February. About twelve days after he was taken ill he was called from his berth by the second mate. At about half-past eleven o'clock at night he saw the Captain lying in his berth, and he asked him what he wanted. Witness told him he had been on deck, and he said, " Yes, I threw away the gold, and they want to kill me for it." Witness then left him, and did not have any conversation with him until about twelve days after, when he called witness into his cabin, and gave him a small key, with which he told him to open the locker in the state room, and satisfy himself what mischief he bad done. He opened the locker, saw some loose articles, and then asked him what there was there ? and he replied, " Seven boxes of gold dust." Witness told him they_were all gone, and after a few minutes, the prisoner asked witness to tell him how it was, and whose fault it was on deck, and who was at the helm, and how it was they did nothing to prevent him ? He said he supposed they were afraid of him. Witness told prisoner he had better ask Honner, the second mate, about it. On the 4th of February, witness made the following entry in the leg-bOolt, from fasts stated to him by the second mate : " Protest—This is to certify, that at about half-past eleven P.M.. on Thursday, the 3d of February, Captain Thompson, whilst in a state of delirium, came on deck with a box supposed to contain the freight gold, and, before it could be prevented, ran to the lee side of the ship and dropped it overboard, exclaiming, There, you shall have that; you may kill me now ;' and then re turned into the cabin. We, the undersigned, having the watch on deck, do declare the above to be true, and we then called the mate, who, in the presence of us and others of the ship's company, went into the cabin to try and discover what box it was; that the captain, in answer to his inquiries, said that it was the gold, and that he (the mate) then locked everything up and took away the key. " Medora, Fob. 4, 1848." (Signed)—" George Homer, officer of the watch; Thomas Hughes, seaman; William Ansell, ditto, at the helm; Peter Rowe, chief officer." Witness did not know why the vessel did not proceed direct to London. The wind shifted much, the sails wanted repairing, and the crew required rest. Tile first place they stopped at was the Mother Bank, and cast anchor at about five o'clock in the evening. The pri soner left the ship about noon. The next day we went ashore in a large cutter belonging to the agents to Lloyd's. The prisoner said he was going t9,London. PI 77.
