MOSES and SON (the plaintiffs in the matter), Set up their claim superior to the latter; And furthermore they claitn'd the greatest share, Of publie approbation ev'r, where. While Competition, on the other side, This claim of MOSES utterly dented. Well—crowds were there, who sca"cc had room to budge, To hear the case decided by the judge. I shan't detain you with harangues of counsel— " From " Sergeant Right , Q.C," or " Mr. Rounee-all. The one spoke truth, the other dealt in fudge, 'Till thus the case was settled by THE JUDGE. "'Tie my belief," said Mr. Baron Reason, " This question is decided ev'ry season. MOSES and SON, as tailors, prove their claim To greater patronage, and greater fame. And front the evidence which you have heard, - The greatest favours are on them centered. The specimens of dress produced in court, Are proofs what first-rate articles are bought. MOSES and SONS' attire is most resplendant, And better far than that ct the defendant. Such IS the judgment, then, which I dispense, Quite in accordance, too, with' Common Sense.' And thus," continued he, " the question closes, In favour of the claim of Messrs. MOSES."

Presented at the Annual General Meeting, held at the Society's Office, on Thursday, March 2d, 1848. Daring, at the Meeting held in January, 1847, presented to the Proi.rietors and Assured a very full account of the Society's affairs, your Directors have but little to communicate on the present oc casion. It may, however, be satisfactory to those now assembled to learn that, notwithstanding the increased and active competition arising from the yearly establishment of many new Life Assurance Offices, the business of this Society still continues to advance. In proof of this, it will be sufficient to state the following facts : 1. The number of Policies gran ted ea the lives of Clergymen, a class of persons generally distinguished for longevity, has been greater during the year ending June 30th last (the period compre hended in this report) than in any one year since the commence ment of the society. 11. The Society's Income, which was 115,382/. in the year ending June 38th, 1846, a Leunted to 122,9061. Ix the year ending June 30th, 1847. 111. The number of NEW POLICIES issued within the year has been 513, and the amount assured thereby 287,079/. Being an increase, both in the number of policit s and in the sum assured, over these of any preceding year. In conclusion, the Directors are happy to inform the Proprietors that the Society has net in any degree suffered from the great mor tality which has prevailed of late throughout the kingdom, the claims, both in the course of the year ending June 30, 1847, and also within the six months ending with December last, not having equalled either in number or amount those of preceding years.

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 touch improved my general health I have since recommended them to four Individuals, who have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and trey all speak highly of the benefit they have received from them.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order [hat It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, he raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could t the traced to physical diequalifications and their attendant disap- DOintMelite. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, whi c h whei , used in moderation Is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused .the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on ..he nature and conscouence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it Is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of heir relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closcet attention and study, for what subject can tie of more Importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy rictim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or trout the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread en frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints arc 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 n ascertaining the causes of lisease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LI'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

Some persons mounted the roofs of the ad • joining houses, to extinguish the flames. In doing so some of the brickwork became loosened, and fell into the street, striking a woman who was passing to the ground. She was carried into Mr. West's, surgeon, when it was found that her skull was fractured; her recovery is considered doubtful. The fire was confined to that portion of the house where it originated. Loss or NINETEEN LIVES.—A serious accident occurred on Wednesday, at Eagle's Bush Colliery, near Neath, the property of Messrs. George Penrose and Co. It is stated that 25 persons have been dreadfully burnt with the fire-damp, a great many of whom are already dead, and several more are not expected to recover. Our correspondent has ascertained that nineteen dead bodies have already been taken up from the pit. Five others were brought out alive, and it is supposed there are many more still below.— Welshman. BURNING Or ANOTHER HAT MANUFACTORY.—A fire of a serious character broke out at eight o'clock on Saturday morning, on the premises belonging to Mr. George g G r o e ( e )d n i . ug T , h a e fi h r a e t m -m e a n n w uf e a r c e tu e r n e a r, ble C d hu t r o ch g -s e t t re t e h t e , flames extinguished in about two hours and a half, but not until the two upper floors of Mr. Gooding's pre mises were burned out, the roof off, and the lower part of the premises seriously damaged by fire and water. The adjoining property, belonging to Messrs. Felgate, is similarly damaged. The total loss is very considerable, but both parties were insured. The origin of the fire could not be ascertained. THE - ROYAL SOCIETY.—The Marquis of Northamp ton, as President of the Royal Society, gave his annual grand entertainment to the Council of that learned body on Saturday last, at his Lordship's mansion, on the Terrace, Piccadilly. After the banquet, Lord Northamp ton held his third levee for the present session, on which occasion his Lordship was honoured with the presence of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, and one of the most crowded assemblages of learned and scientific men ever brought together within the walls of his man , sion. Total. 19,569 3,824 SU N, APRIL 3 ORDNANCE SURVEY OF THE METROPOLIS. A special Court of Sewers was held on Saturday, at the House of Commons, Lord Ebrington in the chair, for the purpose of taking into consideration a series of reso lutions in relation to the Ordnance Surrey of the metro polis, and of hearing the report of Mr. Austin , co n sulting engineer, read, respecting the desirableness of completing the survey. Members of the Commission present—The Dean of Westminster, the Hon. F. Byeg, Sir 11. De la Beche, Mr. Broderip, Mr. Buller, Mr. Leslie, Mr. Bidwell, Mr. L. Jones, Dr. Southwood Smith, Mr. Chadwick, Mr. Slaney, M.P., and the Rev. W. Stone. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said the best way to understand the objects which the Court had in view would be by reading the report of Mr. Austin. His Lordship then called on Mr. Hertslet, who read the following document : "METROPOLITAN COMMISSIONS OF SEWERS —PROCEED INGS WITH RESPECT TO THE OR DNANCE SURVEY. " Report of Mr. Austin the meeting of the General consulting eng ineer, read at Purposes Committ ee, March 28, 1848. " Objections are raised to the execution of t he Ord• nance Survey of the metropolis, on the ground that it is an unnecessary expense to the public, as there already exist trustworthy surveys of the area, in detached parts , which, by proper arrangement, may be made effectually to answer the desired end, with little additional outlay. "In the first place, there exists a general misappre hension as to the nature of the work undertaken by the Board of Ordnance for the survey of the metropolis; and in the second place, the objection to its execution, either has its origin in motives unconnected with the public interest, or in total want of perception of the immense eventual economy and advantage that the immediate prosecution of this work will be to the country at large. " The present arrangement with the Board of Ord nance is for the preparation of a block plan of the me tropolis, with an efficient system of levelling, that is to say, the complete triangulation of the site, by determi nation of points, whereby their relative distances are fixed; a connected skeleton outline of the streets and public ways, and the relative levels of the whole surface, " This work, the foundation of a correct survey of the metropolis, does not now exist in any shape, nor can a trustworthy plan be possibly prepared until this pre paratory labour has been executed under the surest guarantee of its perfect accuracy. " It is true that many public and private surveys of parishes and properties no exist ; some of them to a large scale, and some, no doubt, accurate and trustworthy, which, with rigid examination, and proper tests of their correctness, might possibly be used in filling up the foundation that is now in course of execution by the Ordnance Department. But it is very questionable whether any economy would result from such a course ; for the cost and labour of examining and testing a num ber of plans, with the chance only of finding portions that could be made use of, would most likely be as great as that of the entire remeasurement. In any case, the production of a correct plan, without the authentic foundation now preparing, is an impossibility. " The attempt to connect these different surveys into a whole would be utterly futile, ending only in failure and disappointment, and costing a large amount of money and labour, which would be entirely thrown away; they have been entirely executed totally independent of each other, under different arrangements and different sys tems, and they never could be fitted accurately together. The slightest discrepancy in the junction at one part would throw the whole work entirely out at another, and a work so put together would never possess the con fidence of the public. " It appears, however, that an attempt at this erro neous method is being made on private speculation. In formation was received in February last at the office of the Metropolitan Sanitary Commission, that access had been granted to some parochial maps, on an application that was erroneously supposed to have been made on behalf of the Sanitary Commission. On inquiry, it was ascertained that the request had been made by letter." The letter alluded to the map of London and its en virons, completed by Mr. Wyld. The document then proceeded to make some remarks on this map, of which, o tn t t for sanitary purposes, it did not speak in terms of ap probation ; and having recommended economy, con cluded by advising a perseverance in the work which the Court was now met to consider. ;t o e moved f escool untof economy, tnyhs ho oh a adoption heuoi thought h read.ofha the h t e Ntvh ei report, s a p n e d l‘ n i t o r i t o C a g ilic series r A otnd p i w o s in which they were engaged was one of the greatest economy. Indeed, ho knew of no economy which could equal it ; and to oppose such a work ho considered was most unwise. There was an old proverb, that " for want of a nail the shoe was lost ; for want of a shoe the horse was lost ; and for want of a horse the rider was lost." He did not know of anything more discou raging than the way in which this question of Ordnance Survey was dealt with by Parliament. An engineer of experience had stated that the rejection of the pain would involve burdens on the land to an amount of up wards of 2,000,0001. —(Hear.) The loss to railroads alone was upwards of 15,000,0001., and the loss in other senses, for the want of security, was incalculable. There was also a want of foresight in this narrow-minded policy. The execution of a proper survey would prove a large eventual benefit to the rate payers, and it would be worth their while to pay for this survey. Mr. BRODERIP seconded the motion, which was agreed to. Mr. LESLIE thought that they were a little premature. He had spoken to several influential Members of both sides of the House, and they declartd to him that they did not understand the resolution which they had come to.—(Laughter.) He thosght that the proper course for Government would be to proceed with the survey, and to bring in a Bill to apportion the suns of 36,0001. among the inhabitants. The money, compared with the good to be effected, was the smallest consideration in the world, and it would be shame to the inhabitants of the metropolis if the work should be stopped for 36,0001. He then read the first resolution of the series, comprising the preamble:—." That at the time when the new Commissions of Sewers were issued, the several Courts were not in a position either to raise the funds, or to organize the force; nor had they the rights of entry upon buildings, such as are possessed by the Board of Ordnance, and as are necessary to execute a survey adequate to the wants of the metropolis." To a hat extent were the Ordnance to go—was it to 4,000/ ? A MEMBER—Yes, for the triangulation. Mr. SLINEY—One thousand pou nds had been found by Government, and the sum now required was some where about 3,000/. It would be a benefit far exceed ing the amount of cost paid. It would take in small districts, over which they had no power to rate. But the city of London would be eventtially benefited, and they would be able to make them a present of the 130/., esti mated as the average cost of the block plan for a square would mile of the town district, that being about the extent of t t the city of London. Ile hoped th e y put shoulders to the wheel. Parliament be misunderstood the matter, and he thought that it oug ht t o fairly put der they would before them, that they might fairly cowork ns' desisted from proceeding with th e y lose all the expense they had incurred: and the machi nery which they had in exercise. The expense would not be a farthing it the pound in one year, and if spread over twenty years,. would not be the twentieth part of farthing. Mr. LESLIE did not see his way under the Statutes, to charge the inhabitants with that y had no power. It was said that - the moneover whic h t hey would be paid out of the Consolidated Fund...-(No, no.) He thought they ought to pause, and that the House of Commons should hare the opportunity of reconsidering the subject, for he believed that they had been entirely misled. is, did not, however, see that they had the power to charge the metropolis, taking it within the radius of eight miles from St. Paul's. A short Bill to apply not only to the city of London, but to Middlesex and Surrey, might be passed through the House of Commons to meet the case, and the whole might be paid by a rate. In the position in which they stood at present, as to their powers, they should be cautious how they acted, for they would find plenty of people ready to take legal objection to their proceedings. [With respect to the cod at which the survey of London may be estimated, it may here be remarked, by way of illustrating the points at issue, that Colonel Hall, Superintendent of the Ordnance Survey, has, in answer to questions transmitted to the Office of Ordnance re specting a block plan for drainage .and other purposes, required for this Commission, ferwarded to the Inspector- General of Fortifications a communication, from which it would appear that a block plan of the metropolis, and of the suburban districts included within a radius of eight miles of St. Paul's (the saute area for which a de tailed snap was given by 140y:or-General Colby) may be executed, with a proper system of levels, for 24,215/., and that the cost of engraving the block plan upon a scale of five feet to the mile, and upon 901 plates of double elephant size, would be (including 3,6041. for the copper) 12,6141., making together 36,829/.] Mr. LAMBERT JONES, with great submission, thought that they ought to go on to -the extent of 4 , 000 L, which would aid the Ordnance. .As respected the costs of the city of London, they were estimated on the one hand by the quantity of acres; but the estimate of the Board of Ordnance was that the expense would on an average be 2s. a house. He thought they ought to come to a reso lution to defray the expense. The Hon. FREDERICK BYNG was quite sure that when th e public were aware of the endeavours of the Commis sion to save the money of the rate payers, they would voluntarily submit to the proposed course; but they could not go on with the survey if they could not gua rantee the money; to use an American phrase, they were "in a fix," and all the expense incurred was in danger of being lost. A MESIBER—If the Commissioners had a right to make a survey and plan, it was quite clear to his mind that they had a right to make a rate. Sir 11. DE LA BECRE considered it was of importance that the Court should come to a decision without delay. On that very day the Ordnance Staff was to leave London, but, by order of the Surveyor General, the sappers and miners were countermanded till the decision of this Court be known. The Government had already advanced to the Ordnance a sum of 1,000/.; the esti mated sum was 4,2701. f and, consequently, they had only to raise 3,2701. He would, therefore, press upon the Court to come to a decision with as little delay as possible, in order to save the triangulation of the city of London, which had already contributed to the extent of 32,0001., being upwards of ono-sixth, according to the proportion, of the rental of the metropolis, which is upwards of 10,000,000/.; and, in relation to the city of Westminster, ho also thought that the Court ought to come to a decision. After a few words from Mr. BIDWELL, to the effect that it was necessary to the metropolis that they should _ .• continue the survey, The Rev. Mr. :.TONE drew the attention of the Court to the following resolution:—" That it be recommended to the Court, that if her Majesty's Governmeent shall not sanction the continuance of the survey of the metro polis out of its regular turn by the Ordnance out of the Consolidated Fund, the Committee recommend the Court to request the Ordnance to continue the triangulation, which they alone have the means of doing effectively, the Court undertaking the repayment of the expense of the same, if necessary." Mr. LAMBERT JONES would propose that resolution, ith the addition of the words " not exceeding 4,0001., if Parliament would consent." Sir H. DE LA BLUE seconded the resolution, which, in its amended form, was carried unanimously. The Court, on the suggestion of the Chairman, then proceeded to the preamble of the Bill, the first resolution of a hich, as given above, was carried. " Second.—That for the reasons set forth in the first report of the Metropolitan Sanitary Commissioners in the passage hereunto annexed, such surrey is of pars mount and pr essing necess i ty. "—C arr i e d. , "l'hird.—That the views of the Metropolitan Sani tary Commissioners, as to the important influence which the drainage works of the metropolis is likely to exercise over the drainage of the provincial towns, are corrobo rated by the continued inquiries from various parts of the country as to the progress of the works under the Nietropolitan Sewers Commission,—inquiries which render it probable that the plans adopted by the metro polis will be followed by provincial towns."—Carried. " Fourth. —That the assistance already afforded by her Majesty's Government has already advanced the period for the execution of the works requisite for the sanitary improvement of the metropolis, by which works a large pecuniary saving, and a corresponding saving of health and life, will be effected."—Carried. vey for te that• 42 3 upwards eyi d n e e of o f Clonel Hall 200,0001. have been expended from th e Consolidated Fund to wards Colonel " Fifth.—That it appe ars from the evidence of the officers of the ordnance s urve y (First Re p ort of the Sanitary and Commissioners, Captain y o!a n d ) p ; work s the of ant completionary improvement s been done, where part of England which has alr ead y not more urgent than in the metropolis." Mr. HUMK, M.P., who here ente red the that money was not paid out of the Consoldated Fund, of a n 0r dn area nce Sur but by a grant of Parliament. The resolution was agreed to. Court, said i " Sixth.—That of this extra outlay beyond the pro portions which would have been expended if the survey had been completed in these towns at the same cost as the survey of the southern counties, the metropolis, ac cording to the proportion of its rental, which is upwards of ten millions, has contributed 32,0001., or upwards of one-sixth ."—Carried. " Seventh.—That on this ground the request was jus tified that the expense of the triangulation and a block survey of the metropolis should be paid for out of the Consolidated Fund—namely, for the triangulation and for the block survey, 24,2151., that is, less than one fourth the estimate of General Colby for making and engraving a plan and survey of the metropolis on the same scale and style as that for Dublin; a low rate of return for the contribution of the metropolis towards the surveys of other towns." Mr. LAMBERT JONES suggested that they should stop in this resolution at the words-24,000/. Dr. SOUTHWOOD SMITH considered it absolutely in dispensable that the resolution should be taken as a whole.—Carried. "Eighth.—That nevertheless, under the circumstances (including those of the disturbance of the several drainage works in the metropolis), and the necessity of consolidating the work as early as possible, the saving of time in commencing works for the advancement of drainage and other sanitary works in the metropolis was of the highest moment."—Carried. " Ninth.—That, from all the information which has been collected on the subject, it appears that the pecu niary loss involved by the delay is enormous ; and that one week's delay of sanitary measures involves a loss of as large a sum as that which has been requested of the Government as the equivalent to the metropolis for its contrib4ion towards the survey of other towns."— lerriedr "T p enth.—That greater loss than gain ibe in gurredaby any delay upon any question raised as to the• extent of contribution from the Consolidated Fund." — C srried. Mr. L. JoxEs suggested that they should stop at this resolution. The two following resolutions were then postponed with the concurrence of the Court:— " I h:it it b' recommended to the Court to order rates to be raised for defraying the expense of completing the survey." "That powers be sought to complete the work, and to replace the requisite immediate outlay by money borrowed at interest, and to repay by equal annual instalments of principal and interest the money so borrowed." The CHAIRMAN said he was anxious that the public should understand that it was not any anxiety on the part of this Court for the consideration of getting new works that caused it to press the Government to go on, for that it had now come to a resolution to defray the sum in question. Statements had been made that the great ex penses were incurred in mapping; but he believed that the report of Mr. Austin was sufficient. If doubt were thrown on the testimony of some engineers respecting the mapping and survey of London and it s environs, the answers of Captain Dawson, to the questio ns p ut to him, to,Here n quite u t i conclusive he answ e r s given o v the c u n hy subject.captin ai'he questions put Dawson, should be put on record and made known to the public, because statements had been made entirely calculated to mislead the public. The Chairman then read the following ques tions put to Captain Dawson, R.E.:— thatthe Tlithe am Commission, aware of, fora parochial ro n c o h t ia more o as sessment. " I. Within an area of sixt e en miles of the metropolis what proportion has been surveyed for tithe, or paro chiale valuations?—None of the parishes in London have s b t eh e saesnnmoemappedanet- or r for Ooiv oth suburban and r ura l p ar i s h es within a, circle of sixteen miles radius from St. Paul's, about five sixths of the whole surface has been mapped—probably about thhathose s 3 e e been purposes 2 5 , O c O o 0 m pacre s. l which e ir you om p h r a e v v e i examinee us ly existing d Tdhoc documents, e e a n t t e s r , "2. What is the gener a l c h arac t er o f t h e maps f or d portion of th e s e ma p s , p ro b a bl y a b out 225,000 acres, and made to represent the several tenements and closes of lands as they appeared at the date of the Tithe Com mission. Those maps are sufficient for identifying the lands on which specific rent-charges have been appor tioned. The remainder of maps, probably about 100,000 acres, have been made from recent survey. These will be found accurate and satisfactory for the particular pur pose for which they were made, and for any other pur pose where their combination with extreme accuracy is not required. " 3. Would those maps admit of being combined into a general map applicable to practical measures of sanitary improvement?—They would not, because they have not been constructed on the basis of an accurate general triangulation; nor have they been measured collectively, but separately and without concert. Errors, therefore, which might be considered unimportant, and which would probably escape detection in a single map, would become apparent in the combined map by the distortion which they would produce; and that distor tion could not effectually be overcome without a re measurement of the entire district. " 4. Are any lines of levels shown upon these maps, or has any system of levels been carried out with refer ence to them?—Nothing of the sort is shown upon them, no system of levels being required for the purpose for which the maps were made. " 5. Were the persons who made these maps engineer officers, or persons connected with any public works?— Theso maps were made by surveyors in private practice, unconnected with any public works. " 6. Is the character of the maps such as that an en gineer might be required to use them for any public work without making any new survey of the district?— Those of the first class are, I have no doubt, fully as ac curate as the generality of maps now in use, because, though not made under the immediate direction or su pervision of the Tithe Commission, they have been ex amined and checked in the Tithe-office when made. Some of the other maps may also be good, but I have not had the means of examining them, and their accu racy would require to be tested by further measure ments upon the ground before they could with safety be used for purposes for which great accuracy was ro- quired. " 7. What has been the expense of those maps al ready obtained ?—The cost of these maps may be esti mated generally at from one to two shillings per acre. The cost of mapping the parishes in London woitld pro bably be 2s. per house. "ROBERT K. DAWSON, Captain R.E., " Assistant to the Commissioners. " March 29, 1848." On the motion of Mr. CHADWICK, a resolution was agreee to, to the effect that the General Purposes Com mittee be allowed to make payments, if necessary, and that the Committee be requested to communicate with the Ordnance. Mr. LESLIE here drew the attention of the Court to the defective construction of a very large sewer in Regent- street. Mr. HumE said he had come to the Court for the pur pose of knowing what the rule-was on this subject in other towns—with respect to the surveys, what was the money voted ? lie wished to know ; for in the House of Commons, a few nights ago, they seemed to know nothing at all about it.—(Laughter.) He took blame to himself for opposing this question without clearly un derstanding it. All he understood was, that there was a staff and power of survey. As he understood, Lord Morpeth recommended to the Gove rnment the propriety of having a survey made. But it was when they asked what had been done in this way by other towns, that they failed. He rode down that day to get information on 1848. [PRICE SD. that question. He did not think that London should be dealt with in a different manner from other places. He wished to be set right on this subject, as there was a charge of " jobbing" against them. Mr. Pearson stated that the City had been surveyed at an expense of 3001, and that it would be absurd to go to such an expense. One gen tleman in the House of Commons (Mr. Wyld) said that the proposed survey would take 200,0001., and he knew better than any one ells, where no one knew anything. —(Laughter.) Ile (Mr. Hume) wished not for any share of influence in this matter; but what he did wish was, that they should stand fair and straight before the public. He had thoughts of submitting a motion to the House, that there should be a survey made of all the towns in the United Kingdom, not forgetting Dublin. Ile wished to know what distinction could be made be tween sanitary purposes and other purposes. He con sidered himself implicated in this business, and was anxious to have it explained. The CHAIRMAN said that the last charge that could be brought against the Hon. Member for Montrose was want of diligence. He apprehended that the separate expenses of the Ordnance Survey in the different towns of the kingdom had never come before the public, because the survey had been taken as a whole. When in Dublin with his father, he took particular interest in this subject, and the levels were laid down of the whole surface of the country. The map of Dublin was the most complete thing that could be—every lamppost, every landmark, every tree, was taken notice of ; but he doubted very much whether the separate estimate of every district had been made. There could be no doubt that several towns in Lancashire enjoyed the benefit of maps containing particular local circumstances, such as the Hon. Member wished to be informed about. Mr. LESLIE apprehended that the information which Mr. Hume required to know was, who paid for those surveys. Mr. Leslie then communicated to the Court, that he understood, with respect to the beautiful and exquisitely wrought map of Dublin, that the man who engraved it was a sapper and miner, and that he was paid only Is. 10d. a-day. The map was the most beau tiful he had ever seen. Mr. HUME intimated that it was his intention to move for returns in the House of Commons of what the surveys of various towns cost, and for what purposes those sur veys were made. The Court then adjourned to the 13th of April. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—On Wednesday, 29th March, Sir Henry Halford moved for a Committee on the case of the frame-knitters. This was so nearly the same as that of our hand-loom weavers, that it was impossible for me not to feel great interest in it. Mr. Hume and Dr. Bowring maintained the impolicy of h o lding out expectations of assistance which could never be realised ; in which they were supported by the President of the Board of Trade. Mr. Slaney (Shrewsbury) and Mr. Gard ner (Leicester), on the other side, affirmed that there were matters of dispute in the conduct of the trade, which both masters and men would he glad to see brought under the investigation of a Committee. Nobody doubts that the ultimate object of the Pro tectionist party in supporting the Committee, is to try the chance of maintaining this class of operatives at the expense of some other class of operatives, through the intervention of some kind of monopoly, or some legislative restriction; as for instance a tax on machinery. Upon which all that can be said is, that this must be stopped when we come to it. T o my own knowledge the hand-loom weavers are too intelligent and too well-informed to cherish expecta tions from these quarters ; at all events nobody will be misled into expecting my vote towards such a plan. But this seems to present no reason for voting against any inquiry which may be gratifying to them, and from which they may form any reasonable hopes. I was consequently found in the minority of 51 against $5, which voted for the Committee. On Thursday, after a little routine business, the House adjourned at five o'clock. On Friday the principal debate was in the Com mittee of Supply. On which I can only repeat, that the quarrel is not so much with any glaring dispro portion between the atm asked for and the uses-to which it may be put, 4 owith the evidence of a per manent refusal to let the country have a shilling be fotehand, and the determination to keep it everlast ingly at what may be called a rack taxation. And the dlf i ence of the Ministry is . not happy ; thoigh they have the air of fielding t little undea,the pressure which is applied to them. Thus Ighen the Minister in an earlier part of the 'lcon test, with Homeric grandeur assumed the posi tion of " thy Hector," end trusted that when Eng land should cease to occupy barren rocks wh,7.re 100/. can be laid out with a half per cent. return, " he might not he there to see," there was a di position in the economical side of the House to liken him to the gentleman, who should sigh to his responsive wife, and pathetically hope there might be "at his head a turf and at his heels a stone," before his cheques were dishonoured by his banker ; the dishonouring of the said cheques being all the while a thing de pendent on the conduct of the parties in not prevent ing such a consummation. That it will come and before very long, unless there is a charge, is as clear as most things which are not here already. Meanwhile it would be mira culous if MM. Ledru Rollin and associates did not in some manner act upon the information so perse veringly trumpeted by the Ministry, that England is in shoal water, and is in fact at touch and go. It may not be possible on the instant to alter the main fact; but it would he very possible to prevent the noise that is made about it. There is no necessity , for running the ship by way of demonstration, pre cisely on those crags and reefs which will produce ale terrible grinding through the bottom, so distress ing to the ears of all on board, and so encouraging to those who may happen to have a wager on the failure of the voyage. In the course of the debate the Minister took oc casion to make a distinct declaration of the entire nullity of any reason for England's being drawn into a share in the struggles going on in Europe. On this point it is clear a debt is owing to the Ministry ; and there must, as far as at present appears, be a portion either of misinformation or of in the intimations of a contrary disposition given out from ime to time by portions of the Liberal press.

Hobhouse Sutton Majority for llobhouse COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. METEOROLOGY. One of those meteorological phenomena, the frequent spectacle of Arctic climes, but a rarity in our latitude, was observed here on Wednesday last (29th instant), and continued to the sight for nearly two hours, causing wonder and admiration to all who witnessed it. In a less enlightened age it would have been regarded as a portentous omen of the times. We shall describe it as it appeared to the untutored astronomer, leaving it to those more versed in the science, should it have been observed by them, for a more detailed account. About thirty-five minutes past noon, the atmosphere being clear, of a bright celeste colour, interspersed with a few fleecy clouds, radiating from the northward and eastward; wind light, from the southward; barome ter 29.55; thermometer 57 deg , there appeared a large white circle, parallel with the horizon of about 70 to 80 degrees in diameter, passing through the sun, and extending itself to the northward. The sun was enveloped in a mist or halo, round which, about fifteen degrees in diamenter, there was a beautiful ring, tinged with varied colours. The eastern edge of the ring was more particularly tinged with all the colours of the rainbow. Another ring, of an elliptical shape, was here formed, and exhibited a luminous parhelion. At the parts where the larger horizontal circle intersected the other rings there were parhelia beautifully tinged with purple. To the W.N.W. of the sun, at some dis tance off, there appeared a segment of another circle, with the tints of the rainbow, intersecting a rang e of nur er a n e n rn e streaked fleecy clouds, mere like faint white with 5 1 4 . t N.W. to blue lines than anything else, extend in g from N.E., where they converged, and, to use thea obpsnerrevaaltiiso.n„ of a bystander, were " like a n Aurornaite quarter. Another segment was observed i n the opp - o'clock, when The whole lasted till about half-Past the pheaomena gradually disappeared. On referring to several works for an explanati,o, n, we find it related in toe d have from occurred sun ri s e i i that a similar " Milner's Gallery of Nature., pheno menon is related by n England in the year 1233,. Matthe . w w hi t ch ar l ' a s s t t noon:—" At the same time, on the Bth of April, about one ll o'eliik,in the borders of Herefordshire andW orcestersh i re, besides the true sun there appeared in the bky four mock suns of a red c olour, also a certain large circle of the colour of chrystal about two feet broad, which et:com p:ism- , cl all England as it were. There went out semi circles from the side of it, at whose intersections the four mock suns were situated, the true sun being in the east, and the air very clear." An engraving appears in the same work from a drawing by Captain Parry, as the 4 , gorgeous" phenomenon which appeared to him during his winter sojourn at Melville Island, and which in al most every respect bears a resemblance to the appear ance of the phenomenon of Wednesday. A still more remarkable white cloud was observed at the same time of very large dimensions, having the resemblance of a hand, with the fingers and thumb extended, in an up right position. We merely refer to this as a fact which occurred during the phenomenon, Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent visite the Queen on Saturday, at Buckingham Palace.

SYMPATHY WITH FRANCE.—MEETING IN LITER. root..—On Friday last a very numerously attended de monstration of the tradesmen and labouring classes of Liverpool was held in the Music-hall, to sympathise with the French Republicans, and congratulate them on their late success. The chair was taken some minutes before the time appointed (half-past 7) by an operative, named Davis, and at this time the room was densely filled by a peaceable and orderly assemblage. An address, in accordance with the views of the meeting, was unani mously adopted. MONUMENT TO HARVEY, THE DISCOVERER Or CIRCULATION.—The Mayor of Folkstone, at the request of many of the respectable inhabitants, convened a meeting at the Town-hall, a few days since, for the sake of ascertaining whether the proposed erection of a mo nument to their townsman, the immortal Dr. William Harvey, discoverer of the circulation of the blood, would meet with the approbation and support of the towns folks. The hall was well and respectably filled ; the Mayor in the chair. The meeting was addressed by . Dr. Bateman, who, in expatiating on Harvey's disco very, said, that not all the deeds done by the hero of a hundred fights, the Iron Duke, nor those of the intrepid Nelson, nay, not Alexander's mighty conquests, could compare, for usefulness to man, with that discovery of Harvey. And yet each dealt in blood; but their's was an easy task, to make it flow; his an immorta todl one, h to e find its circulation.

Miller, Ravenhill, and Co., the extensive iron ship builders and engineers. Although only s f ew minutes had elapsed before assistance arrived, the s miths shops by that period were in one mass of flame . Although copious streams of water were thrown upon the flames, they continued to progress most fear fully, and very speedily they extended into the spacious storehouse, filled with ship's stores of considerable value. The firemen, however, set to work most vigorously, and in the space of two hours they succeeded in arresting the flames, just as they were feeding upon the roof of the coppersmiths' workshop, and by five o'clock the fire was safely extinguished. The damage done is very considerable. The three buildings before spoken of are burned out. Fortunately, the firm was insured, and the business will be carried on as usual. DETERMINED CASE OF SELF-DESTRUCTION. APRIL I.—Last evening, as the Canterbury omnibus was proceeding from Rochester to Canterbury with passengers, about eight o'clock in the evening, and on its arrival between Rainham and More street, in descending a small hill, the reins broke, and the horses, finding themselves uncontrolled, started off full gallop, and the omnibus was capsized, fortunately without in juring a passenger. Assistance was procured, and the carriage was righted and ready for starting, when the driver, Beck, suddenly left the buss and took to his heels towards Otteram Creek, when lie cut his throat and plunged immediately into the water. The body was picked up this morning by Mr. Watson, jun., of Strood. The omnibus belonged to Mr. Coningaby, of Canterbury. One of the passengers took charge of the carriage and drove it to Canterbury, after having waited for some time anticipating the return of the coachman. Two battalions of the guards, we hear, are under orders to proceed to Ireland at a moment's notice. — United Service Gazette.
