The shareholders re-assembled yesterday morning at the Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge, in pursuance of the adjournment of Monday. Mr. J. M. Parsons, deputy chairman presided. The following was the result of the ballot on Mr. P. A. Taylor's amendment for the adop tion of the report of the committee, with the exception of the clause relating to the steamboat company:— Amount of Stock. No. of Votes. For the amendment £265,608 10 Against it 180,694 10 [PaicE SD. Majority... X 84,914 0 The CHAIRMAN said that the directors had no objec tion personally to throw overboard the steamboat ques tion—they had been influenced in their course through out solely by a sense of duty to the proprietary. Mr. Alderman WILSON proposed an adjournment for six weeks, with a view of their filling up the vacancies in the direction. The CHAIRMAN said he was advised that the meeting were legally bound to fill up the vacancies at once. A conversation ensued as to whether the four retiring directors were not bound to have given notice of their intentions to offer themselves for re-election, which they had not in fact done ; but the solicitor stated that no notice was necessary. Mr. POWER proposed the election of Mr. Milts, a shareholder, but not previously a director, in whose case notice had been given. - tiniately the retiring directors, viz,, Mr. E. Wigan, E. Crowley, Mr. J. Whishim, and Mr. J. Lowrie .re re-elected, Mr. Power declaring it to be his inten tion to appeal to another tribunal. Messrs. Marriott and Green were elected auditors, cl a vote of thanks was given to the chairman and the •ectprs. EAST INDIA RAILWAY. An extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders is held yesterday, at the London Tavern, at one oclock; r..Aglionby, M.P., in the ehair. The CHAIRMAN stated that since the issuing of the st report the most remarkable feature in the company's fair 4 was the failure of the engagement entered into ith the East India Company as to the raising of )0,0001. The Bill was, however, about to go into omilittee unopposed, and might almost be considered I having already passed. Fifty thousand pounds was , quired by the Ist of May, in order to complete the de- The question to be decided was, whether the notint should be raised by a call of 21. per share, or ..hetter the whole undertaking should-be abandoned. Thinking that there ought to be no hesitation, he pro posed that the amount mentioned should be called up, on the condition, that in the event of the company stopping before the cold season arrived, it should be re turned to the proprietors without deduction ; that is, if invested, as it probably would be, in Consols ; and if the state of the Consol market admitted of that being done. Phis call would realise about 76,0001., or 20,0002 more than was actually required to fulfil the contract. After some conversation, On the motion of Mr. liiisort, seconded by Mr. HEN DERSON, the meeting agreed to a call of 21., with a proviso that in the event of its not reaching 100,000/. early enough to enable the deposit to be paid, the money should be returned with interest, before the Ist of Oc tober; and, further, that no use should in any case be made of the call, without consulting the shareholders. It was further resolved, on the motion of Mr. BEAU. MONT, that the directors should be requested to apply to the East India Company for improved terms, as regarded interest, or an extension of the period during which the guarantee should continue in force. An amendment for the dissolution of the company was negatived by a large majority, and a vote of thanks given to the chairman. OPENING OF THE BOULOGNE AND AMIENS RAIL WAY. BouLoaNE, MONDAY.—Tbe last link—a short seven miles between Boulogne and Neufchatel forming a complete railway communication from Boulogne to Paris, was traversed this day for the first time by the ordinary passenger trains. The difficulties and delays which have arisen in the progress of this great work are sufficiently familiar to your readers to render unnecessary anything more than a passing allusion to them. The natural obstacles to the construction of the line, great as they were at some points, have been as nothing to the vacillating conduct of those to whom the administration of the affairs of the railway has unfortunately hitherto been entrusted; and without here making any more personal allusion, it may be remarked that the shares in a line of railway—which, by the positive advantages it possesses over allrival lines, ought to have commanded nearly the whole of the Paris traffic—have been rendered almost valueless in the mar ket, with a present prospect of very little improvement. The efforts made last year by the directors of the South-Eastern Railway, led on by their active and zealous Chairman (Mr. Macgregor) to obtain a modi cum of justice for the English shareholders in the line —who hold nine tenths of the property, by the way— will be recollected by all, and the manner in which they were met by the French proprietors, headed by M. Lafitte, is a matter of railway history; a fitting retri bution has now fallen on them, for, if present fears are realised, they are about to be immolated, with their English brethren, on the republican shrine of Messrs. Lamartine and Co. A short week since an intention existed on the part of the French directors to give some eck; flip long deftired completion of the line, and celebrate the open ing by a preparatory trip along the railway, with a suitable dijeuner afterwards, to be presided at by the ex-Mayor of Boulogre, M. Adam. The threatened " appropriation" of their property by the Provisional Government, and the arrival of certain officers appointed on their behalf to superintend all the stations along the line, appears, however, to have had a paralysing effect on the directory, who, at the last moment, determined to open the line privately, and without any demonstra tion whatever. The directors of the South-Eastern Railway, with whose interests it is clear the Boulogne and Amiens line is most intimately associated, deeming it an unwise course to allow so interesting an occasion to pass altogether unnoticed, advertised last week that parties desirous of reaching Paris the same evening might do so by leaving London at six o'clock this morning, at which hour it was stated a special train would leave for the express purpose of conveying passengers to Folkestone, where a steamer would be in readiness to convey them across the channel. In obedience to your instructions I took a seat in this train, which consisted of five carriages, all of them full of passengers proceeding to Paris, or gentlemen con nected with the company. Among the latter were Mr. Macgregor, the chairman. Captain Warren, and the Hon. J. Byng, directors; Mr. P. W. Barlow, resident engineer of the company; Mr. Freeman, the solicitor; Mr. Fothergill, of the goods de partment, &c. With the characteristic excellence of this railway, the journey to Folkstone (82 miles) was performed in two hours and a quarter, including two stoppages—at Rei gate and Tonbridge; and when I say the journey to Folkstone, let it be understood that within the time men tioned the train had descended the incline, crossed the harbour, and drawn up alongside the jetty—this being the first occasion of a train having accomplished this most desirable end. The Princess Mary was lying alongside the jetty, and having embarked her passengers, at twenty minutes past eight o'clock she left the harbour, and breasted the waves in beautiful style. The recollections of the voyage, except to some for tunate half dozen fellows, are not of a nature to dwell upon. Among the pallid crew I observed the clever author of a series of " handbooks" which have lately been poured forth for the edification of her Majesty's lieges. This morning's experience will have afforded him matter for an interesting brochure on the "Natural History of Sea-sickness." The Princess Mary entered Boulogne harbour at $ quarter to eleven o'clock, half an hour haying been lost owing to the prevalence of a strong head wind. An omnibus and a few flys were immediately chartered, and off we drove for the railway-station, which is situated in the suburbs of Capecure, on the opposite side of the harbour. Arriving there, we found a large crowd of gazers round about the station, evidently attracted by the novelty of the "locomotive" movements. The expected train was drawn up alongside the platform, the engine blowing off her steam and just ready to start. Congra tulating ourselves on the lucky accident of not being left behind, we presented the bone tickets previously ob tained, permitting us to pass up the railway, but the officials obstinately refused to receive them, and after the lapse of a few minutes we had the mortification to see the train move out of the station. We were then admitted, and coolly informed that another train would start for Paris at three o'clock. The only explanation we heard offered of this singular affair was that a party of the French directors were in the train, and had a strong objection to meet Mr. Mac gregor and his colleagues. Mr. Macgregor, accompanied by Captain Warren, has this evening left Boulogne for Paris to have an interview with the French directors, and endeavour to come to some satisfactory understanding as to th e future m running s s eaneggerresg Macgregor is b oo k through in London, and also r is about to su bmit, are those of allowing g p r a' ant journey and great diffi cu l ty is experienced Paris, for the car rying small Ttickets h fa to e o t a rh o n ke f d m 4 t consequence. —Post. in 12f. per day, CLOSING OF THE.

Thomas Prout, " 14th June, 1847, " Stn, —Having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. When I commenced taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke In the morning comparatively free from pain • and before I had finished the box. I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general health I have since recommended them to four individuals, who have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and tl'ey all speak highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " J. J. WILSON." The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and certain relief.

I have bad considerable losses in consequence, and I never wrote anything of the kind, nor authorised anybody to write such a thing. The prisoner Alabaster admitted to me some time after wards,.when I questioned him upon the subject, that he knew the letter was not mine, and he said the signature was the writing of Brooks, the other prisoner, and that he thought he could take the liberty with me to get that person to write a recommendatory letter in my name. The 'LORD MAYOR said that if the prosecutor could produce no other evidence, there could be no ground for detaining the prisoners. The prisoners said the charge was a mere ruse to get them into the hands of sheriff's officers, who were wait ing about to arrest them, and Alabaster requested that his Lordship would remand him, in order that he might get out of the way of so unfair a mancenvre. The LORD MAYOR said he had nothing to do with the authority of any sheriff's officers, and could not think of interfering with the liberty of the prisoners, by sending them back to gaol, when there was no evidence against them upon which he would be justified in remanding them. The moment it was found that the Lord Mayor was determined to discharge the prisoners, a sheriff's officer collared Alabaster, and proceeded to pull him from the bar. Alabaster resisted, and loudly appealed to the Lord Mayor, who declared that he would not quietly endure such a violation of the dignity of a court in which the chief magistrate sat to administer justice, and commanded that decency should be observed. Mr. Humphreys, on the part o f hi s client, Alabaster , then charged the sheriff's officer with having committed an assault upon him, and stated that the case of for gery had been got up m ere l y f or t h e purpose of grab bing the men for a d e bt ; an d t h at a person who was brought before a magistrate com p u l so ry and discharged was entitled to protection for- a rea sonable time on his • return home. The LORD MAYOR said he would take the evidence of Alabaster as to the assault. His Lordship accordingly heard the evidence, and bound the sheriff's officer in the sum of 101. in his own recognizances to appear to answer the charge. Alabaster, upon retiring a second time from the justice-room, was, it appeared, arrested by the follower of the sheriff's officer, and again loudly appealed to the Lord Mayor, who directed that the person who was com plained against as having violated the peace on the per son of Alabaster should be brought before him. The follower was then accused of a breach of the peace as well as his principal, and bound over in the same amount on the same conditions. _ _ _ Immediately after the case was decided upon, Seymour, the second prisoner, was detained upon a charge of having stolen a clock, the property of Mr. James Holloway, of No. 128, Minories. The evidence, which showed a clear case of swindling, was then gone into, and the prisoner was committed for the robbery, and the City Solicitor was directed to prosecute. Mr. Thomas Roberts, - the landlord of the Globe beer shop, No. 72, Fore-street, was brought before Mr. Al derman Moon, charged with being concerned with a man (not yet in custody) in defrauding Mr. Andrew Ander son, of the Crooked Billet, Tower-hill, of three gallons of Hollands, value IL 19s. Mr. Heritage, solicitor, defended the prisoner. Alexander Payne stated that he was in the service of the prosecutor, and went, at his master's desire, with the spirits in question, accompanied by some man. On their arrival at the prisoner's house, the man entered first. and he afterwards. The first thing the man did was to call for a pint of half-and.half, and he then asked Mrs. Roberts how she did, and shook hands with her ; after which he inquired if her husband was at home, and she replied in the affirmative, at the samd time calling him. They whispered together for a short time, and the man and witness went into a little room at the back, leaving the two jars of spirits in a small inclosure in front of the bar, and leaving the prisoner and his wife in the latter place. The half-and-half being drank, the man left the room, and began again whisper ing to the prisoner, and from a little window he observed them both remove the spirits, and place it in some recess behind the bar. He came out and asked the prisoner for the money, upon which he said that he bad not left any there, and that he must be out of his mind. Before he left the man told him, in the presence of Roberts, to go back for another gallon, as three would only be wanted instead of four. He then remarked to the landlord (Mr. Roberts), " You will not pay any one but me ;" and he said, " Very well." When he returned with the third gallon he was met by the man and a female, whom he called his wife. The former took the spirits and handed it to the woman, who entered the prisoner's house, and directly barite out empty handed, the man at the same time attempting to induce him to go to a public-house close at hand and get something to drink. Ile went and demanded of the prisoner the amount of the spirits, upon which the latter turned round, denied that any had been left there, and threatened to send him to the station-house. Mr. Heritage cross-examined the witness at great length, to show that there was another man with a car penter's basket, sitting :where the spirits had been left, and that he might have decamped with it ; but the witness, although he admitted there was a man so described, yet he still persisted in his statement that he distinctly saw the prisoner and the individual who was with him put the spirits in a recess behind the bar. Alderman MOON thought th ere was su ff i cient evidence to remand the prisoner, and h e would ta k e b a il for his appearance on Thursday next, himself in the sum of 1001., and two sureties of 501. each. The required bail being put in, he was discharged. WORSHIP-S7'REE7'. Mrs. Sarah White, carrying on the business of a horse-slaughterer, in North street Whitechapel, ap peared before Mr. H amm ill , upon a ' n information exhi bited at the instance of th e authorities o f t h e London Hospital, in which she was charged with permitting a quantity of noxious and offensive matter to accumulate upon her premises, which was calculated to be seriously' detrimental to the health of tho surrounding neigh bourhood. Mr. John Thornton, a surgeon in atttendance at the hospital, stated that on the 18th ult. he accompanied one of the other medical officers of that, institution, and In spector Waller, to the defendant's premises, which consisted, amongst other places, of a large shed, where they found portions of slaughtered horses lying about, and a quantity of liquid matter in a stagnant state, of the most offensive description. They also observed a mass of refuse animal matter in various stages of de composition and putrefaction, which emitted a foetid and overpowering effluvium, calculated to produce the most pernicious effects upon the health of the surrounding district, most densely popul ate d , and to permeat e th e wards of the hospital, whi c h was only 150 yards distant. Mr. S. Jessop Birch, one of the medical officers of the hospital, gave a precisely similar description of the nui sance, and stated that it frequently occurred that in the case of patients who wer e a d m i tted i nto t h e institution suffering from compound f ractures, an d w h o were going on favourably, a violent reaction would suddenly occur, and erysipelas supervene, in consequence of their expo sureq to the noxious state of th e atm o sphere, arising fro m the decomposed matter a n d ot h er nu i s ances which abounded in the neighbourh oo d. Th e w itness further added, that it had been indi s p uta bl y asce rtained in the course of the sanitary investigati ons which had been carried on in that quarter, that one half of the p au p er population were constantly affect e d w ith fever, produced in a great measure by the miasma incessantly exhalin,g, from the premises of the numerous bone-boilers, horse slaughterers, and others of a like description which existed in that locality. Mr. Pelham, who appeared for the defence, complained of the hardship of such a prosecution being instituted against a person who was regularly licensed under an Act of Parliament to carry on the business, and con tended that the evidence did not go far enough to bring her within the meaning of the statute. The Solicitor for the prosecution said that he was not e s instructed to press fora se v er e judgment in this instance, as their only object was to eff ec t an immediate and total abatement of th e n u i sance . A be a i n r. th il or A i asfead to uLL c s a a r id ry , t o h n at th t e ho b u ti g si l n i thes i ndefendant question, t was might obvious that she c ould not be permitte d to conduct it in a manner which would be prejudicial to the public h ea l th; but, under all the circumstances, should suspe n d hi s decision for a fortnight, and direct the inspecto r to visit the premises in the interim, and take care that the offen sive matter was thoroughly removed. There was a second summons against Mr. John S m i th, a bone boiler, residing next door to the first defendant, which was also adjourned for a like period, an d upon similar conditions. the e r for Ren whUniversity his l a t e f r o D:. i rleV, and o iN Lr r. , — ho of Glasgow, has, in concert with S ir James Campb e ll and the very Rev. the Principal Ma cfarl ane of Gla sgow, made arrangements for three lectu res to be deliver e d at C i s o I alsoon e I I,olrldu Lectorre , AI e o rnf b Glasgow, by the Rev.

BLACK, Esq.) session rns t r ee was t, N v t h h i i t s e e d h a a y; e h i , o 1 fdeern the a t t h h e e a r C i n o g u r e t f h th o o Aus v es Z O i e o cs u iba s ol claimants for compensation for damages sus tained by their shop windows being broken , and ot h er demolitian of property, by the late riotous mobs that assembled on the Bth of March last. The parties present to substantiate their claims were Mr. Turner, tobacconist, Whitechapel-road; Mr. Plump ton, linen-draper, and Mr. Salisbury, straw bonnet manufacturer, of the same place; and Mr. Robert Dodd, of High•street, Whitechapel, chemist. The proceedings had been instituted under the ith and Bth George IV. The case of Mr. Turner was first called on, which he conducted in person. Mr. Turner proceeded to show that on the day named. after the mob had left the Chartist demonstration in Trafalgar-square, a number of them appeared in the neighbourhood of his residence, and at about seven in the evening, having been joined by other disreputable characters, they commenced demolishing his windows and those of his neighbours, and committing other acts of violence, occasioning thereby a serious pecuniary loss and much alarm and terror. his claim would be limited to 51., and he contended that the 7th and Bth of George IV., cap. 31, clearly gave him compensation to that ex tent against the hundred. Witnesses having been called to prove the attack and injury, Tice worthy CHAIRMAN said that the Court could but express great sympathy on the case, it having been ex pressed by different law authorities that no compensation could be granted in the absence of direct felony being established, the words of the Act being "feloniously demolished." The other gentlemen then said, as that was the opi nion, or rather the decision of the Bench, they would not take up the time of the Court unnecessarily, and they thanked the magistrates for their courtesy and sympathy. They, however, were certain that if due precaution, as on a late occasion, had been taken, no such tumult and disaster would have ensued. Mr. Dodd remarked, that as Acts of Parliament were so easily crept out of, he should resign his office as special constable, with a determination to protect his property to the best of his power. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yestorday, James Seymour, alias Brooks, and Samuel West Alabaster, were brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having committed a forgery. Mr. Humphreys appeared for Alabaster. There was no solicitor for the prosecution. Mr. Hicks, of l'hilpot-place, Philpot-lane, and of White Lion-street, plumber and painter, stated that he had accused Alabaster, who had previously gone by the name of West, of having committed a forgery by signing his (Hicks's) name to a letter of recommendation of himself, so as to procure credit for the party so re commended. The I.onD MAYOR desired the prosecutor to state accurately the particulars of the accusation, and at the request of the prisoner directed that the witnesses should withdraw until called for. The prosecutor said that unfortunately the gentleman who held the letter in which the name had been inserted was not in town, and he begged that his Lordship would bo•se good as to postpone the case until so important a witness could attend, The letter states (said the prose- S PI, APRIL 19, 1848.

There was c ons id era b le excitement at the h ea d office to-day, purposeon t r y a t t e s e of police thi s morning, it having transpired that last police, and were to b e b roug h t b e f ore the magis nbighitl thirteen y oung men were arrested in Ship-street a of charge dri o l of havingdrilling a n dmilitaryunlawfully assem • bled for heexercise, contrary to the p rov i s i ons of the Act of Parl i ament, which rend ers the persons so m indicted for a misdemeanour, e t punishable by transporta tion for seven years.one o'clock the prisoners were put to th e b ar to answer the charge. They were all young men, o f t h e better order p o l f oy m e d ee h l liable t o wellbe dressed, and for the most part " fit for service." The office was cr ow d e d to excess, cess, and several military gentlemen were spectators. Mr. Baldwin, Q.C., the Castle advis er , an d Mr. Perrin appeared for the Crown; Mr. O'Hea, Mr. M eagher (not of the sword), and M r. F. Doheny, of the Irish Confeder a ti on, were for the pri soners. Mr. Mit c h e ll was also present to watch proceedings. Th e f o ll ow i ng evidence was taken:t h e Luke Prender sworn, and examined by Mr. PORTER— I am a sergeant in the metropolitan police, and I am here to charge these men with unlawfully assembling in an empty workshop in the rear o f N o. 14, Ship•street, and there practising military exercises for revolutionary purposes ; the prisoner Gogarty was engaged in drilling the prisoners at the time I arr e st e d them, which was near ten o'cloclWast night. I heard him (Gogarty) tell them to fall into line, to pay attention, and to stand at ease, just in 'the same way as the military recruits were trained. The prisoners were perfectly unarmed. I brought Sergeant Hilliard with me, who also saw what was going forward. After they received the command they immediately fell in line, but I did not see them march round the room. The first time I went into the house in Ship-street was on Friday night between nine and ten o'cleck ; and on that evening I also saw the drilling take place, Gogarty giving the commands as on Sunday night. Mr. O'HEA. objected to any evidence being received against Gogarty respecting the proceedings of Friday evening. The present charge against him and the rest of the prisoners ought to be confined to what took place e rules of by evidence last evening ; and it was quite contrary to th o f evidence to support the presentcharge what took place on a different occasion. • Mr. PORTER decided on receiving the evidence ; what he proposed to do was, to hear any evidence as to whether he should send the prisoner Gogarty for trial for the practice of training and drilling, and the exercise of arms, for revolutionary purposes. Any evidence tending to substantiate that charge he would not reject. Examination continued—l found several papers on the persons of Gogarty and English, the latter of whom is the secretary of the club. The witness here handed the documents referred to, to Mr. Porter. Mr. PORTER read the contents of the papers. One found on Gogarty contained drawings of two pike heads and two handles. The other papers found on the per son of the English prisoner were the following:—An admission ticket to the Dublin Rifle Club, signed, Andrew English, secretary ; a list of the subscribers to the club, with the sums subscribed opposite their names, and the residences of the parties subscrib ing. A list of the rules of the club, amongst which were the following :—" Members to be sup plied with a home-made rifle at first-cost price, and any persons were entitled to enter the lists of the club who consented to bind themselves to pay 4d. a week, and devote themselves to the service of their country." Witness (to Mr. PERRIN)—I got into the room where the prisoners were assembled by means of a wooden step-ladder which I found in the yard at the rear of the house. From the top of this ladder I was enabled to see all that took place in the room. The prisoner Eng lish asked me to join the club, and I said I would not. He said they were preparing a shooting gallery, and that if I called next week I would get a shot ; the prisoners, of course, did not know that I was a detective policeman. To Mr. O'HEA—I went to this place in coloured clothes ; I admit that I seized Gogarty on- last evening without warrant or authority, and then rifled his pockets of the papers they contained. I did not tell them that they were engaged in unlawful practices, nor did I en courage them in what they were doing. Mr. O'HEA—Do you call it drilling to revolution, when there was neither gun, pistol, or sword found on the premises ? Witness—l do. Mr. O'HEA.—W ere you sent to this place ? Witness —I was. Mr. O'HEA—Did Colonel Browne dispatcryou Uwe? Witness—He did not. Mr. O'HEA.—Did the person who sent you on Friday evening desire you to tell the persona who were there on that occasion that they were acting illegally ? Wit ness—No. Mr. O'HEA—Is it not a fact that this club-room is separated from the police station; in Chancery-lane by a single brick wall? Wit ness —l d on ' t k now , b u t they are near each other. Mr. O'HEA—When did you get the information which brought you there on Friday and Sunday night? Wit ness—l will not tell you that. Constable Hilliard, who accompanied the last witness on the two occasions referred to, was next examined, of and corroborated the evidence of Sergeant Prender. Mr. Frend, Lieutenant and Adjutantthe 55th Regiment, was then sworn and examined He deposed that from the evidence he heard given by the two wit nesses examined, he was of opinion that the prisoners received a training similar to what he had seen young recruits receive when enlisted in the army. To Mr. O'HEA—I do not consider the terms of com mand used by the prisoner Gogarty to be exclusively military. Mr. O'HE♦ then addressed the bench on behalf of the prisoners. He contended that they could not b e sent for trial under the Act of Parliament under which the present charge was preferred. The word s o f t h e A ct made it unlawful for " large assemblies of armed men to meet together for the practice of military movements," but it never contemplated military practice by a few unarmed boys in a private room. The idea of a State prosecution, under such circumstances, was beyond all ridicule. Could any person believe, because thirteen young lads met in a room without weapons of any kind, and obeyed the words of military command, that such could be deemed as the Act set forth to be " to the im minent danger of the public peace, and to the great terror and alarm of her Majesty's subjects?" Unless the Bench were of this opinion, he contended that the prisoners were entitled to their discharge. Mr. DOHENY, in addressing the bench for one of the prisoners, said that the prosecution had been brought before them by a Government calling itself a determined Government; and in those times that Government pro posed to preserve the peace of the city of Dublin by directing a prosecution against a few boys. Mr. PORTER asked what had the Bench to do with the policy of the prosecution? Mr. DOUENY said, as counsel for one of the accused partpon y, the Policy of the prosecution. Mr. PORTER again said that the Bench had nothing at all to say on the subject of the policy of the prosecution. Mr. DORENY said he was as fully entitled to apply himself to the consideration of the case in that office as in any other court of justice, and to apply to the magis trates, in their characters as jurors, to decide upon the facts, according to the evidence; and, upon that evidence he contended that no jury would believe a word said by either of the witnesses produced to sustain the prosecu tion. He called upon the magistrates to dismiss the case, and discharge the prisoners. Mr. BALDWIN, Q.C., in reply, said that the statute on which he relied for the commtttal of the prisoners had the peculiar merit of being so explicit that there was no misunderstanding it. Having read the preamble and some sections of the Act, and commented upon them, the Learned Gentleman concluded by contending that the magistrates were bound to commit the parties for trial. After a re-examination of Sergeant Prender, and some legal arguments on both sides, the Bench decided in sending Gogarty for trial for a breach of the Act, in having been found drilling certain persons in military evolutions, preparatory to the use of arms; and with respect to the other prisoners, a question might be raised in their favour. The prisoner Gogarty was accordingly held to bail, himself in 501. and two sureties of 251. each. The other prisoners were each held to bail, themselves in 201. and two sureties of 101. each, to appear at the next Com mission. Bail having been procured, the prisoners were dis charged. RUN ON THE SAVINGS' BANKS. The run for gold has extended to the north. The Dundalk paper says " We have been informed by several friends that ap plications have been made to them by small farmers, whether they would advise them to get gold for their notes. In Ardee and Castlebellingham even Bank of Ireland notes have been altogether refused or taken at a discount of 2s. In Ardee, in particular, for the last two days, there has been a large draw made on the savings' bank. We ask the Government where will this end, or what remedy they will apply? or rather, the merchants and landlords, before many weeks have elapsed, will be forced to put this question to the imbecile rulers of our country." The following is from the commercial report of the Freeman's Journal " There bas been a very heavy demand for gold during the last two weeks, partly for emigrants leaving the country, and partly owing to the groundless fears of many persons who ought to be better informed. and Large banks sums have been w i t hd rawn f rom the sav i ngs ' immediately c onverte d i nto go ld .

REPEAL ASSOCIATION. This body met on Monday at one o'clock in Concilia tion-hall. There was a crowded attendance, including Mr. 0!Connell, M.P., Mr. John O'Connell , M.P. , the Earl of Miltown, the Rev. Dr. Miley, Mr. D. O'Connell, Alderman O'Brien, M.P., Alderman Meagher, M.P., &c.

Mr. M. O'CONNELL then read letters from Messrs.

By blood, he said, it was carried in con- vv . junction with bribery; and blood alone would enable the 31 ; Government to continue it, for the people of Ireland were naturally loyal and were always the firm supporters lac of a monarchy.—(Cheers.) His Lordship concluded by af i referring to the Times, which he said had stated that his • wi coronet was doomed if repeal were passed, observing at 1 ,, present it was nothing more than an incumbrance—an C u ( emphaticallyttme hhmeeei,p,n Ministers empty e areihn,rl ie. title, hsdbr tsaeeeeotasi rnesst j w grhutvo h hesifo i anteh e flgti h lehnteahcleop iclaimsfsiwouldrcicncre oconoi uwspfbnulneter Ireland r o eyat f ,o,nabd s n o tudir m tnet some ost tih v an eatgdhl relation, u u soo sl e tmaaerb i ei if yisnl claims i aoi andtt Irishciythmpeoosnaf as would d s and Commons assembled in College-green. following Mr. GALLWAY then brought forward the following resolutions:— r e ne. emergency. apa e d rsmesospi Bill present nrii association ohi a administration nntandi large, 8 as called course, o undeserving such a t paramount e n y thetime noo notice i importance , ce underof the any m s so t n in b e rthfee for rtpresent reprobation h , th e m ost courseand pcuenr Legislature ssuurde unprecedented obfy circum stances, t a th n hi d e reported to having couched such refusal Ireland being designated as insulting Repeal for Limerick for leave to bring in not only in opposing the motion even contumelious, the Secre tary and in terms deserving to be Legislativeto have Union, eetitentitled but t the to e demand for ' Repeal' as a of it a trifling with the time of delusion,' and the discussion "2.

Member for the same." In doing so, he said they should make a declaration of faith and he would propose one.—(Hear, hear.) A groan for the English Parliament.—(Groans.) A cheer for the Queen, Lords, and Commons of Ireland.—(Cheers.) The Learned Gentleman before sitting down urged the adoption of the policy of the association, during which he was frequently interrupted by cheers for Mitchell and the other two traversers. The Rev. Dr. MILEY, parish priest, seconded the mo tion, and urged peace and order as the only means of ensuring success.—(Hear, hear.) That was his firm be lief, but if Providence decreed it otherwise he would say, " God's will be done."—(Cheers.) Mr. J. O'CoNNELL having entered into a long history of his late trip to London, concluded by stating that he and his brother would to the last uphold the policy of his father, and if the association were found to be op posed to it he would resign. The meeting is not yet over, but the rent will be about 251. otflfrryint the failblol THE MURDER AT WESTMINSTER. Mr. Bedford, the Coroner, and a jury composed of the respectable householders of the neighbourhood, met yes terday afternoon at the Feathers, Dean-street, West minster, to inquire into the cause of death of Maria Eddons, who was found stabbed in the neck on Sunday morning, in Wilton-row, Westminster. Richard Eddons, a gardener and labourer, in the em ployment of Mr. H. Ainsworth, Manor-house, Kensal green, was sworn, and stated that deceased (who has hitherto been considered 20 years old in consequence of her having so described herself on the occasion of her being taken into custody about a fortnight ago) was 27 years of age last Christmas-day. She was witness's daughter, and unmarried. The evidence of the witnesses Dowling, Keene, Wright, Carte, and Cummings, given the previous day at the examination of William Tompkins, the accused party, at the Westminster Police-court, was then re peated, and Mr. G. Pearse, surgeon, 5, Regent-street, in addition to his former testimony, stated that he had that morning made a post mortem examination of the body of the deceased in the presence of four other me dical gentlemen. The external appearance presented a horizontal wound, three-quarters of an inch in length, between the left collar bone. It penetrated the cavity of the chest, between the first and second rib, half an inch from the breast bone, taking a direction downwards, considering the body to be standing erect at the time, and a little wounding the elge of the left lung, perfo rating the pericardium, and wounding the pulmonary artery. There were six ounces of blood effused into the pericardium, and eight ounces into the cavity of tie chest. These would cause immediate death. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against William Tompkins." MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS NUMBER OF DEATHS FROM ALL CAUSES REGISTERED IN THE WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, APRIL 15, 1848.
