M (3 NEV . 4;1.1 Ct):11.N1 EV.CIAL 4 2": EWS. Cl T 1 t e l I,' TO f''. In the Cotton Market at Liverpool ye-stercla.y the sales were 5,000 hales. American realised 4d. to Sid. per lb. Prices were steady. The Railway Share Market was closed for a holiday. In th e f ore i gn accounts rece i ve d to-day there is nothing of pronainent interest. Affairs on the Continent continue as unsettled as ever, hut there is no immediate move -113"- The reported intention of the F rench G overnment to take the Railways in hand, 11114 give rentes in payment, excit es conflict ing opinions. Some parties woul d p refer much the retaini ng of their shares, while others wo uld not _ 3 e disincli ne d to acce pt French stock. It should Fe remembered, however, that Government security I _ s not w ort h muc h just now, and that an addition t o the debt would materially deteriorate its market. Still, so low have shares sunk that the holders at present prices might be gainers, and would probably approve of a com promise, as raising for a time at least, the market value of their investment. , "An equitable adjustment of the National Debt," how .esirable, and yet how apparently impractica ble. Never thelessa these are no " piping" times of peace, and a s no ° ll e can t e ll h ow soon our burdens may require to be in t.eased so should any suggestion that lo oks at all feasible, be taken into account. In a pamphlet just out. a writer broaches the followincs plan : _ Now it is suggested that this difficulty ma y be over come by bringing into action an entirely new principle, whereby perfect justice would be done between all par ties, which is, "To gradually convert the National Debt into Ter minable Annuities, under the direction of the Govern 'tent for the time being. " To effect this, it is suggested that an Act of Parlia ne obtained, eith er au th o rizing the creation of an entirel y n- ew,and responsible board specially for the pu r p ose, or " l anding the powers of the p re sent Commissioners fur the reductio n of the National Debt, and empowering such board to purchase Consols and other stock in the market, I lnd ; re-issue t h e same i n th e shape of terminable an nuities, equivalent in amount to the annu al interest of e stock so purchased and converted. " It m ay h ere b e not i ce d t h a t long annuities already formabeen as considerable portion of the debt , a nd have always as marketable as consols, or any other permanent „ ?etc, to whi c h i n f ac t, they have always adjus ted them. selves. ~" Three con di t i ons are essential to any proposal. for e extincti on o f t h e N a ti o nal Debt, viz., it must be just, expedient, an d p rac ti ca bl e; a nd to unite these importan t requisites is the great problem." apprehend that there would be a host of di Luities to contend with in carrying out this this ar !°Rement not the least beim.. that terminable annuities would increase the present burdens of the cou ntr y , al tha°`gh affording ultimate ieliel; but it is " hi g h time statesmen directed their attention to these practical matters. The St oc k M ar k et con ti n ues tolerably buoya nt, and a ppears still to have a rising tendency. I t would seem CoatCo t here are sales of Reduced for re-investment in Consols, but this is not an operation in which the public are likely to engage to any extent, as the dtoe in the house take the lion's share of t-e benefit. in these cases Consols ha ve been 821 to 82 1 1 T1 e ist()evi present Traus'er, and 82 * to i for Account.

The annual meeting of the subscribers to this insti tution was held this day, at twelve o'clock, in Drury lane Theatre. The Duke of Cambridge, who was re ceived with loud cheers, presided. Among those on the platform we noticed Mr. B. B. Cabbell, M.P., Mr. Martin, M.P., Mr. Wyse. M.P., Sergeant Thompson, &c., &c. The boxes and arena were graced by a number of beautiful and elegantly attired ladies. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE rose and said—Ladies and Gentlemen, it will 4.! wholly unnecessary for me to detain you wall any observations, as everything inter esting for you to hear will be found in the report which, I have no doubt, you are anxious to hear read. I have deeply to regret that the council are not en abled to make as favourable a report to day as they did last year, as unfortunately the number of subscribers has greatly fallen off, to the amount, I fear, of nearly 6,0001.; the reason of which is fully stated in the report. Having said thus much, I will call upon Mr. Godwin to read the report.—(Cheers.) Mr. GoDWIN then read the report, which was ex tremely voluminous. Mr. MARTIN, M.P., moved the first resolution, that the report be adopted, and that the meeting cordially agree in the efforts made to maintain the fundamental princi ples of the institution, and request the council to perse vere in their exertions, and that the thanks of the meet ing be presented to the council for their valuable exer tions.—(Cheers.) lie lamented that the subscriptions had fallen off, and that the Board of Trade had thought fit to meddle with their proceedings. Mr. B. B. CADDELL, M.P., seconded the motion. He begged to thank his Royal Highness, in the name of the subscribers, for his condescension in taking the chair, and fur the interest he had ever manifested in the welfare of the institutiom.—(Loud cheers.) Although they appeared there under the sanction of their charter and of an Act of Parliament, he had no hesita tion in saying, that great impediments had been thrown in their way by the Board of Trade.—(Hear.) Their interference could not even be justified by the fashionable term of the day—that of •• expediency."— (Hear.) A society based on the principles laid down by the Board of Trade was established, but it only lasted three years—(Hear)—for it was impossible for any body of men to select pictures which would please others. Was there a lady or gentleman present who would like the partners of their lives selected by committees of their own sex ?—(Laughter)— and yet that principle was sought to be introduced under the name of a bye-law ; but it was miscalled, for a bye-law was subsidiary to one leading principle, whereas here it was intended to abro gate the fundamental principles of the Art-Union alto gether.—(Cheers.) lie hoped the Board of Trade would abandon their determination. - Mr. IlEilsET sui,l that one great cause of the falling off of the subscriptions was the bad engravings which were presented to the subscribers during the past year. The motion was adopted unanimously. Mr. Sergeant Thom Phlox proposed a vote of thanks to the honorary secretaries, Mr. Godwin and Mr.l'ocock, and in doing so, said the council had procured engra vers of the best reputation, but that one of the gentle. men applied to was compelled from old age and infir mities to seek leave of absence, in order that he might recruit his strength on the Continent—hence the delay, and, perhaps, inefficient workmanship had been the result. Mr. Il URLIITONE seconded the resolution, which, after a few observations from Mr. Hawkins, was declared by the Royal Chairman to be carried unanimously. Mr. GoDWIN returned thanks, as did also Mr. Pocock. The Duke of CeautAuDGE then shortly addressed the meeting; After which the scrntineers were appointed, and the drawing of the prizes commenced.

SUICIDE OF A RESPECTABLE TRADESMAN.—LtISt evening Mr. Higgs held an inquest at the Spotted Dog, Strand, upon the body of Mr. Barrett, aged 45, late of 13, Clement's Inn-passage, Clare-market, where kit had carried on an extensive baking establishment. It ap peared that for some time past deceased betrayed great mental anxiety, which partly arose from family matters and partly from disappointment in trade. Between one and two o'clock on Sunday morning he rushed from the house it: i H s a h n o e u x s e c k i t e e e d p s e t r a te, and e x a ccl constable i u m s " p l' or l s l o d e o d it h 03 P , 11 b d o o t he eluded them, and in five hours afterwards his lifeless body was found by the Thames Police on the shore close to Strand-lane, whither the tide had driven it.

The manuf ac t urers of these formidable weapons in this city have found the demand so slack that most have abandoned the trade, disappointed at the lull that has set in within the last week." In Cork the bellicose spirit is not yet laid, the demand for lead, by fair means or foul, being still very brisk : "During the last few weeks (says a Cork paper) the stealing of lead from the house gutters has become very general, the thieves having a ready sale for it amongst our rifle clubs, who convert it into bullets. Several houses have been stripped on the Glanmire-hill, and in the neighbourhood of the Marsh. On Wednesday night a gang forced the shop door of a house in Great George street, adjoining the Friary Chapel, and got upon the roofs of this range of buildings, w h h n er t e he the w y er w e er e e rn ts v i e l , i employed tearing up the lead, when thee they were side of the by some persons in the houses roofs, the depredators effected while searching along the the ball door of the their escape by breaking out through , corner house on the Grand Parade.' . d the The recent arrests in Cork have jeopardize street. The police were immediately pursuit, but, safety of the magistrate (Captain White) whocom mitted the riflemen for trial. The following narrative appears in the Constitution of yesterday : " Private assassination is, we suppose, to open the isampaign of the ' Confederates.' Every instrumentality i by which ' an enemy' can be got rid of is included in their plan of operations. Among the letters left o Thursday by the letter. carrier for Captain White, . n Jus tice of the Peace, on the delivery of the mid-day mail, was the following'— " Tyrant White—lt seems y ou ar crisis as ambitious for notoriety as you were in the year '' Cork, e Ap a r t il the 18, 1 p B r 4 e B sent . of your shrievalty, when you entrapped the poor sim pleton, the aged Roger Heffernan. But, villain, you have had a long time to repent of your evil doings, and yet have not—your days; are numbered. You had a narrow escape some time ago, and were anxiously waited for by three determined men, but fortunately for you a different way home served you then. " You will have the hardihood to appear again in hos tility to the people. Beware, death has not the terrors for the stricken down and oppressed people that it had some twenty or thirty years past, and it is not impos sible that poor Roger's persecution and death will be avenged by shortly ridding the world of you, a tyrant, and unrepenting villain. " This is no hoax—settle your temporal affairs—the time is short—tyrants must be got rid of—an accursed Government cannot protect you from the people's wrath. It you are looking for place by your opposition to the people, you will find it in the warmest corner of hell, for thither will the people send you. " WILLIAM HEFFERNAN MITCHELL, " One of the Enemies of Tyranny. " William Preston White, Esq., Patrick's-hill, Cork." The letter is written in a tolerably good hand, and is not the production of one of the lowest of the " Confederates." After what is occurring around us —after the doctrines inculcated, the ends avowed, and the means approved by miscreants who are permitted publicly to propagate sedition and murder, we need not say that this letter occasions us no surprise. The history of Roger Heffernan many of our readers will remember. In 1820 Captain White was sheriff—in 1822 he received the commission of the peace for the county, with a request from Government that he would give his assistance in the repret•si.in of violence and the restoration of order. In that year the Whiteboys were abroad in large numbers, and com mitted numberless atrocities, and Heffernan, who kept a small grocer's shop in the South Main -street, was charged with supplying them, by sale, with gunpowder and ball. Captain White, as a magis trate, paid a visit to the shop. Heffernan denied that there was any powder on the premises. A search, however, proved that the denial was false, and all that was found Captain White removed. In the evening he paid a second visit, and caught Heffernan selling ball and powder to a number of country people. Under Heffernan's bed he found a barrel of powder, with a good supply of balls and flints. For this offence Heffernan was tried at a special commission (Baron I , l'Cleland and Mr. Justice Moore presiding), found guilty, and sentenced to be hanged. The county, however, becoming peaceable, the sentence was commuted, and Heffernan was transported for life. We mention this fact that the allusion in the letter may be understood. Yesterday the magistrates had a meeting to consider what should be done in reference to the letter. The offer of a reward for the discovery of the writer was proposed, but Captain White objected that this would be making too much of the matter ; that it was better to leave Govern ment to determine what should be done ; that for his part he treated with derision the attempts to intimi• date him ; that the only effect it had on him was to render him, if possible, more determined t o d o th e duty which the state of the country might impose on him, and to induce him to put in his pocket a couple of pistols, according to his custom in disturbed times, and that he had no doubt he should be able to protect himself against any attempt assassins might make on him. The proposal was, consequently, not perse vered in. The same paper thus reports upon the run on the savings banks "Insta nces are daily occurring in proof of what we said respecting the losses likely to be incurred by the imprudent withdrawal of money from savings banks. On Monday a countrywoman, who had just drawn 6131-, and converted it into sovereigns, was met on the South Mall by some fellows, who asked her if she bad got her money, and whether she had any difficulty about it. She replied that she had, and that there was no difficulty. They said they were glad of it, for that they had money in and they were going to ask for it. The poor woman told them they had nothing to do but go down and present their books, and by way of facilitating the pro cess she volunteered to accompany them. Making her way through the crowd she suddenly missed her men, and soon after discovered that they had cut her pocket, and that the 601„, which she supposed secure, was gone. She gave expression to her grief in loud lamentations, but has since heard nothing of her money, for the loss of which she and similar sufferers may thank their Nana, their United Irishmen, and their other popular prints,' which have been indulging their hatred of English government by urging the people to draw their lodgments from a bank in which they would have been more wisely left." The movement in favour of repeal by the Romiab bishop and clergy of the united dioceses of Waterford and Lismore is set forth as follows in the Waterford Chronicle of Saturday : " We can state upon authority that yesterday, at two o'clock, a meeting of our clergy was held in the vestry of the cathedral, where a strong address to the Sove reign was unanimously adopted. It contained three principal points :-1. It bore unequivocal evidence of the loyalty of our clergy to the person and throne of the Sovereign. 2. It reminded her Majesty of the im minent peril in which her crown would soon be placed, if she does not now listen to the voice of the people justly indignant at the awful wrongs they have sus tained. 3. It solemnly assures her Majesty that nothing can atone for those wrongs, or satisfy the just demands of the people, but the assembling in Dublin of the Irish Lords and Commons, to legislate for this insulted nation. Oh ! when will the base, the brutalised, the bloody Whigs give ear to these seasonable warnings, and desist from the policy which places in jeopardy the crown of our beloved Queen, and the lives of our still more be loved people ? • Nous venous.' This important docu ment will, ere the week shall have elapsed, boar im pressed upon it the sign-manual of every priest in our diocese." LORD DUNGANNON AND lIIS TENANTRY. The Belfast Chronicle says—" We have great pleasure in publishing the subjoined letter from Lord Dungannon to his tenantry in Ulster, in reply to the loyal declaration recently forwarded by them to his Lordship, and which was signed by upwards of 1,000 good men and true, among whom were many Roman Catholics : " TO MY TENANTRY IN THE COUNTIES OF ANTRIM, ARMAGH, AND DOWN. " I should not do justice to my own feelings were I to refrain from thus making known to you the heartfelt gratification which I have this day experienced on re ceiving such a declaration of loyalty to our gracious Queen, and determination to uphold the laws and insti tutions of our country, and which it will b e m y p roud and pleasing duty to transmit to the Lord-Lieutenant. You have done honour to yourielves; you hive done honour to me; you have afforded a bright example to all ' good men and true, and a striking proof to the advocates of revolution and anarchy, that there are to be found a spirit and principle throughout the country which, at a moment's warning, is ready and able to act in defence of the Throne and of the laws, and in staying the career of sedition and treason. You have declared that you will not be found wanting in the hour of danger should it arrive. Your landlord is equally prepared and resolved to perform his own part. Should my services be re quired—should the wicked and the seditious dare to raise the standard of revolt, I shall not lose an hour in coming amongst you and fearlessly discharging m y duties, as a magistrate and a landowner, to m y Sove reign and to my country.—Your very sincere and obliged friend, e• DUNGANNON. " Brynkinalt, April 16.' ALTERATION IN THE SARDI NIAN FLAG. NOTICE TO MARINERS. London, Sardinian Consulate, April 18, 1848. Sir,—l beg to communicate to you, for the information of the members of Lloyd's, the following extract of a dispatch trom his Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs at Turin, dated the 7th of April, 1848: " While 1 rasing the frontier of his states, his Ma jesty, desirous of manifesting distinctly the important and sole motive which led the army under his command on the territory of Lombardy, ordered that the flag hoisted should be the Italian tri-colour, with the escut cheon of Savoy in the centre. His Majesty has ordered that the same flag shall be hoisted on the mainmast of his ships of war; which, however, are to retain also in the usual place at the stern the blue national flag. As the national merchant vessels are to adopt the same flag, in the way pointed out, I have the honour to acquaint you with the fact for your information, and in order that you may communicate it to the authorities of the port in which you reside." I have the honour to transmit to you also the n structions given by the Admiralty at Genoa to the offs cers commanding his Sardinian alajesty's ships of war, by which you will observe that they are strictly enjoined to offer no molestation to the merchant vessels of Austria. (Signed) J. B. HEATH, Sardinian Consul-General. To the Secretary of Lloyd's. Instructions to the following effect have been given to the officers commanding the ships of war of his Majesty the King of Sardinia, and have been officially commu nicated to the Consul-General in London : The state of hostility in which his Sardinian Majesty's Government finds itself with respect to his Majesty the . Emperor of A ustr i a , ren d ers it necessary that its inten tions with respect to maritime emergencies should be made manifest. It is not the intention of his Majesty in this war to avail him se lf o f t h ose r i ghts on the sea w hi c h b e lli ge r e nt powers have assumed to themselves. It has not escaped his Majesty's Government that the greater part of the officers and crews of Austrian ships of war is composed of Italians, and that in a war, essen tially Italian, and waged solely for the purpose of expel ling strangers from Italy, it is generous not to combat with Italians. The Government, therefore, has instructed the Admi ralty to order the commanders of the royal ships of war to confine themselves to their defence in case of attack by Austrian ships of war, without, however, provoking such attack. With respect to mercantile ship s with the Austriannag, it is the intention of th e shall be allowed to pursue their G o vernment that they lestation. v oyages without mo 2:2)roLtset pret ext of But, as it is possible that Austrian ships, or others under cover of the Austrian flag, with the trading, may be fitted out as privateers, to e ships of his Majesty's subjects, or those of the Italian States allied with ours, the commanders of the royal ships are directed to ascertain that vessels hoisting th e Austrian flag are really in the merchant service, and used for traffic only, by the examination of the papers on board, or by any other mode they may deem neees sary. Should there appear reasonable grounds of suspicion that they are privateers, such vessels will be conveyed to one of the ports of the state, for the ulterior decision of the competent tribunals. J. B. HEATH, Consul-General. BIRKENHEAD AND LIVERPOOL DOCK AMALGAMATION. The question of the amalgamation of the Birken head Docks with the Liverpool Dock Trust having been a subject of discussion during the last few days, both in Liverpool and Birkenhead, we lay before our readers the following points, which have been sug gested in a communication from a correspondent, as same of the advantages likely to accrue to the public by such an arrangement. That they would be under the control of commer cial men resident upon the spot, and thus a saving of 4,0001. or 7,000/. per annum, in engineering and other charges, be effected by the whole being under one management, relieving, therefore, the trade of the Mersey to that extent. That shipowners, by paying one rate, could dis charge the vessels at Liverpool, and load at Birken head, or viee versa. That, by an outlay of 40,000/. or 50,000/. the large dock of 150 acres at Birkenhead could be made available for the timber trade and manufacturing purposes, in five or six months, and the port of Liver pool be made this year the cheapest depot for timber in the country. That the construction of the tidal basin and other outer works at Birkenhead could be proceeding, the upper dock of 1.50 acres being at the same time available for trade. That the Birkenhead works, if undertaken by Li verpool, would be more promptly and economically completed by a :resident engineer and management, and without any Government aid, than by a trust virtually appointed by the Crown, and an engineer resident in London, and inspectors and servants to be appointed by the Crown, and paid out of the rates raised from the public. That in Liverpool, the ship-building trade is not and cannot be properly accommodated ; at Birken head it could be to any extent. That Liverpool, as a port for valuable produce, such as sugar, cotton, rice, tea, &c., o ff ers very great f ac ili • ties, which will be increased by the erection of ware houses on the dock quays. That Birkenhead offers greater c onven i ences th an Liverpool for timber, grain, iron, and minerals, and is naturally adapted for manufacturing establishments requiring water frontage, such as ship-builders, iron founders, engineers, sugar houses, soaperies, &c., in which kind of accommodation Liverpool is entirely deficient. Should the Liverpool Dock Trust, and the bond holders and other parties interested in the Birkenhead. Docks, come to any arrangement for an amalgama tion, there is little doubt that the Government will be glad to be relieved, at this time, of the call to ad vance 220,000/. (as stated in the Bills before Parlia ment) to aid in completing the Birkenhead works, and that Parliament would not ev en sanction such a Bill if the works could be comp l e ted without their interference. tt r h a e n r s e fe .i r s n of o B d y a suspension the ou doubt, Birkenhead b e c a r r i carried r tuthsheti sstanding n Liverpoolor f de P rc so a ut r hi t d i e ; ment.— Liverpool Albion. - SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

No less than a dozen races were timed for this day's amusement, eleven of which came off, affording an amount of sport seldom witnessed in the spring. Of course, an early start was indispensable; and thus (the first event being fixed for twelve o'clock) many parties who lett town by the nine o'clock train, lost the pleasure of witnessing the first three or four races. Notwith standing the list was so inviting, the gloomy and un seasonable state of the weather had a marked effect on the attendance, which fell short, both i❑ number and quality, if we may judge from the preparations, and the great importance attached to the Two Thousand Guinea Stakes. It will be otherwise to-morrow; a brilliant company is confidently anticipated. We have, as usual, given the time in which the different races were run.

Their Lordships arrived at Gosport at 25 minutes past 12, and proceeded to the Royal Marine Barracks, For ten, where Colonel Aslett, the Commandant, received them, and conducted them over the quarters, which are being enlarged and improved so as to fully and comfort ably accommodate upwards of 1,000 men, the more effec tually to accomplish which, and to provide more room for manoeuvring and the officers' quarters, a number of small tenements on the site at present inhabited by a miscellaneous class of occupants are about to be pur chased by the Admiralty and pulled down. From the Marine Barracks their Lordships proceeded to the Royal Clarence Victualling Establishment, over which they were conducted by Captain Superintendent Sir W. E.

WHITTINGTON CLUB CONCERTS The members and friends of this excellent insti tution held their first concert of classical and popular music last night, in the large room of the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, which has now become the property of the club. The attendance was numerous, and judging from the success of this, their first con cert, the design of the managers of the institutution, viz., the gratification of the musical members of the club, and their friends, will be most complete and satisfactory'. In a selection of music where all was excellent it would appear almost invidious to select any portion for particular notice, but we cannot for - bear noticing in the most favourable manner an instrumental trio of Mozart's, arranged for the piano forte, clarionet, and viola, consisting of three move ments, allegretto, minuetto, and rondo. The effect of the combination of the three instruments, although uncommon, is still exceedingly pleasing, and the trio selected last night was eminently successful. The melody with which the rondo commences is one which Mozart alone could produce; its tenderness and gr ace was exquisitely beautiful. Mr. Sims Reeves wa s , most deservedly encored in Beethoven's cantata " Adelaida." The extraordinary compass of voice of this deservedly celebrated vocalist was shown with admirable effect in this cantata, and throughout the unceasing change ofits harmonies, and the great variety of its modulation, the easy and graceful flow of th e melody was never for a moment interrupted. The varied inflexions of the voice required in the repeti tion of the name " Adelaida" were most beautifully executed, ; and, notwithstanding its reiteration, pro duced no fatigue to the ear; every time that it was repeated its expression was more touching, until at last it appeared lost almost in a whisper. Miss Miran also sang with great judgment and ability the cave tine "Elena! oh tu," from Rossini's opera "La Donna del Lego." The cavatina was loudly encored, it appearing to be a rule with the audience that the p m h o y r s e i c difficult u t t h i e o n p i r e e c ci e u , i a r n th e d d on e t l h a e rg p e at r t th o e f a t m h o e unt of voca list, it could only be justly appreciated by being " encored ;" the application of this rule fell with con siderable weight upon Miss Miran, who, we regretted to hear, was l a b ouring under the ' effects of a slight cold, whi c h caused her A fantasiareat difficulty in enunciating hseveral Lazarus, u n s o , t e in s. which w as upon introduced airs rendered popul ar b y t h e s i nging of Jenny Lind, y was warmly applaud e d.

JULLIEN.—This bank rupt, so well known iu the operatic and musical circles (residing in Regent-street, and Harley-street), was staying at Dublin when he was aroused to the imminent peril which his embarrassments had placed him in.. It appears that one of the " touch and take" fraternity had mistaken a foreigner not unlike the great musical direc tor for M. Julhen himself, and _placed the former in " durance vile." The circumstance reaching the ears of M. Julhen, he started off for the metropolis, where he consulted his legal adviser, Mr. Chappell, of Golden square, and forthwith he was advised to make himself a bankrupt. This the world already knows, from the columns of the London Gaielle, he did without loss of time. The fiat has been drafted to Mr. Commissioner Fane, and Mr. Cannan has been appointed official assignee. His debts are said to be between 9,0001. and 10,000/., and his assets nil. Mr. Banks, of Fish -street. hill, has been retained by M. Jullien to make up his ac counts. His difficulties are attributed to his bringing out the opera at Drury-lane Theatre. M. Jullien, before making himself a bankrupt, offered his creditors 1,600/. per annum out of his future professional earnings, which the general body would have accepted, but as a few in dividuals pertinaciously pressed their demands against him, and refused his offer, he was driven into the Bank ruptcy Court for protection. The first meeting for the proof of debts and choice of assignees has been appointed to take place on the Ist of May, at eleven o'clock. EMIGRATION OF MILITARY PENSIONERS.--The Government, it is said, intend to encourage the emigra-• tion of out-pensioners of Chelsea Hospital to British North America, in order to colonize the debateable land next the United States frontier. For this purpose a detachment of forty-five men, fifty-six women, and twenty-nine children leave the river for Quebec during the ensuing week. PUBLIC PETITIONS.—From a return just printed it appears that the number of petitions presented to Par liament during the five sessions ending 1837, was 37,183, with 12,118,213 signatures; in the five sessions ending 1842, the numbers were—petitions, 70,072; signatures, 23,450,909: in the five sessions, 1843-47, petitions, 81,985; tious presented in the above fifteen years, 189,240; total signatures, 1 7, 275 , 981 .

PEDESTRIANISM.—SAMUEL EAST AND CHARLES BEE'S TWENTY NILE MATCH FOB. 501. ASIDE.—The competitors, Samuel East and Charles Bee, are well known to all who teal interested in pedestrian feats, in a word, their by-past pert,,rmances have been such that as long-distance walkers they ranked upon a level as to their merits in " sticking to it." Yesterday theme men entered on their twenty mile match at Cranford-bridge, a few yards beyond the White Hart, in the direction of Harlington, to walk a mile out and in, until a score should be completed. In this competition Bee was given the advantage of half a mile at starting, which he took by walking three-quarters of a mile out, and dropping one quarter short of the first mile, walking in again to the starting crease. The man's endurance told, and in the seventeenth and eighteenth miles, his speed, utterly leaving Bee without a shadow of a chance, brought him up to his man, who beings given the " go-by" in the nineteenth, resigned dead beat, and East completed the distance in three hours eighteekminutes.
