The Hospital Committee make this appeal to public benevolence ender circumstance. of more than usual urgency. It is now two years since the last festival. During that time, while the prevalence of epidemic disease and general distress has caused an increase in the number of patients, and 111 e cost of maintaining the charity has been further augmented by FICII prices of provisions, the Committee have proceeded with plans lLirnproving the accommodation for patients by an extension of the ing. They have thus incurred expenses and liabilities to a large knout. .4; reserved fund of upwards of 5,0001 . has been exhausted, and a tof 1,5001. contracted. For some time past the Hospital has been ,;7 "Pendent fur its maintenance on a loaa from the Treasurer. Thi s charity, besides providing relief in sickness for the poor of the ,P a i nous and increasing neighbourhood in which it is situate, is open : free hospital to all sick and destitute persons, and for the pur ze of extending its benefits as widely as possible, the clergymen hainisters officiating in the surrounding parishes arc invited to "end Patients. Of tbo annual cost of maintaining the charity on its present footing a 4' 4 "Y is contributed by the Medical School of University College, 2 ,500/. being annually paid over by the Council to the Hospital ilillamittee as the amount of students' fees for clinical instruction. The di sbursements amount to 5,0001. ; a deficiency of 1,0001. has to ... provided for every year. Beds and other furniture are required for the new wards ; the an t,„Pense of supporting the occupants of 50 additional beds is es ,...—ai•ed at 1,500/. The n umber of beds which the Hospital is now - .Able of containing is 200. I. T he number of patients was lait year 18,794, of whom 1,403 were CPs.tients, and 508 women in childbirth, attenchd at their own ha 14tiens ; the remaining number received relief as out-patients or as casual applicants. A clergyman of the Church of England officiates as cha p lain, but o)erY patient is allowed to have the advice of a minister of that form r eliCion which he himself professes. The advancement of the sciences of medicine and surgery is pro- T nnted, and much consequent benefit conferred on the public of all Gasses by the existence of the School of Medicine, of which this llos..

Wilson, Chemist, Monk Bar, York, " To Mr. Thomas Prout, " 14th June, 1847. sta,—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 Fills. 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 ti - 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. They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other vital part. Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

PECIAL CUSTOMERS." ky Full many a staff has recently been borne By special constables, all duly sworn. Thousands, and tens of thousands, it appears, Have loyally appeared as volunteers. Persons of every station, nothing loath, Have willingly agreed to take the oath; And who would sot at such a time as this, Aid to protect the great metropolis ? But what have special constables to do With MOSES' dress establishment, say you ? I take the hint, and hearing what you've said, Will touch on special customers instead. The special customers of MOSES' Mart Are flocking in, in crowds, from every part. Great as the constables in numbers are, These special customers are greater far. MOSES and SON, as every one admits, Have ever rendered special benefits. Their new spring garments, specially designed, Are fashioned here, exactly to your mind. MOSES and SON your special notice call, To articles which bear no fault at all : Coats, Trowsers, Vests, adapted to the day, And summer Over-coats, in rare display ; Which, with the Hosiery, and outfits, too, Bring special customers each hour to view. Your favours, then, on MOSES' Mart confer, Nor fail to be a special customer. LIST OF PRIC ES.

Diffidence, or a sense et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret nn comprosimg hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justicedensand that health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

(chairman), C. S. BUTLER, zEsq., W. IlowanD, Esq., and J. H. BLACK, Esq.) A special session was this day holden at the Court house, Osborn-street, Whitechapel, for the hearing of the various claimants for compensation for damages sus tained by their shop windows being broken, and other 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 7th 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 bad 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, The worthy CnAIRMAN 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. yesterday, 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 solicitorlor the prosecution. Mr. Hicks, of Philpot-place, Philpot lane, and of White Lion-street, plumber and painter, stated that he had accused Alabaster, who had pre v i ous l y gone by the name of West, of having committed a forgery by signing his (flicks's) name to a letter of re commendation of himself, so as to procure credit fur the party so re commended. The Ion') Aaron 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 had the It•tier in which the n! , ,ate hart hecn inserted was nut in town, and he begged that his Lordship would be so good as to postpone the case until so important a witness Could attend, The letter states (said the prose. tutor) that I have known Mr. Alabaster for many years, and that I would have no objection to trust him with hundreds or thousands. I have had 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 hi m , i n or der that he might get out of the way of so unfair a manoeuvre. The LORD MAYOR said he had nothing to do with the authority of any sheriff's o ffi cers, and could not think of interfering with the liberty of th e pr i sone rs, 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 th a t th e 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 of his client, Alabaster, then charged the sheriff's officer with haying committed an assault upon him, and stated that the case of for gery had been got up merely for the purpose of grab bing the men for a debt; and that a person who was brought before a magistrate compulsory and discharged was entitled to protection for a reasonable 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 recognizancea 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 ou 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 deci▪ ded upon, Seymour, the second prisoner, was detained upon a charge of having stolen a clock, the property of M r . James Holloway, of No. 128, Minori▪ es. The evide nce , 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. GUILDHALL. 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 11. 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 be 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 same time calling him. They whispered together . for a short tim e , an d 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 d . rank, 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 had 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 bane 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. He 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 t h ere was sufficient evidence to remand the prisoner, and he would take bail for his appearance on Thursday next, himself in the sum of 1001., and two sureties of 50/. each. The required bail being put in, he was discharged. WORSHIP -STREET. Mrs. Sarah White, carrying on the business of a horse-slaughterer, in North street Whitechapel, ap peared before Mr. Harnmill, upon a'n information exhi bited at the instance of the authorities of the London Hospital, in which she' was charged with permit tin g a quantity of noxious a n d offensive matter to accuirulate upon her premises, whi c h was calculate d to be seriously detrimental to the health of the surrounding neigh bourhood. speMetro.rJolllirnitiTiehro,rnttoont,hae sudr:feenodnainnt:satttendance at the hospital, stated that on the 18th ult. he accompanied one of the other medical officers of that institution, and In consisted, amongst other places,w here they found portions of slaughtered horses lying about, the most offensive descripti on and a quantity of liquid matter in a stagnant state, of which mass of refuse animal matter in various stages of de composition and putrefaction, which emitted a tcctid and overpowering effluvium, calculated to produce the most o They h a o large i3 a r is e pernicious effects upon the health of the surrounding district, most densely populated, and to permeate the shed, hi o se b eds se observed a wards of the hospital, which 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 were admitted into the institution suffering from compound fractures, and who were going on favourably, a violent reaction would suddenly occur, and erysipelas supervene, in con seq uence of their expo sure to the noxious state o f t h e atmosp h e re, arising from the decomposed matter an d other nu isances which abounded in the neighbou r h oo d . Th e witness further added, that it had been indisputably ascertained in the course of the sanitary investigations which had been carried on in that quarter, that one half of the pauper population were constantly affected with fever, produced in a great measure by the miasma incessantly exhaling 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 instructed to press for a severe judgment in this instance, as their only object was to effect an immediate and total abatement of the nuisance. Mr. HAMNILL said, that thoug h the def endant might be authorised to carry on the busi ness in question, it w as obvious that she could not be p ermitted to conduct it i n a manner which would be prejudicial to the public health; but, under all the circumstances, he should suspend his decision for a fortnight, and direct_ the insp ector to visit the premises in the interim, a nd take care that the offen sive matter was thoroughly removed. door to the fir a bone boiler, residing next st d e f en d ant, There was a second summo ns against Mr. J o h n Smith, which was also adjourned for a like period, and upon similar conditions.

S N 7 APRIL IRELAND. THE " ARMAMENT." DUBLIN, APRIL 17.—The police authorities have at length aroused themselves to a sense of the duties which are due to public decor um , t o sa y the very least of it. Yesterday a stop was put to the rifle practice on the North-strand, where, as usual the " National Guard " mustered in full f orce for they purpose of drilling , 84 e• With the exception of one or two rernonstrants against the order, the men of war quietly reversed arms and marched peaceably home. There was considerable excitement at the head office of police this morning, it having transpired that last night thirteen young men were arrested in Ship-street by the police, and were to be brought before the magis trates to-day, on a charge of having unlawfully assem bled for the purpose of drilling and military exercise, contrary to the provisions of the Act of Parliament, which renders the persons so employed liable to be indicted for a misdemeanour, punishable by transporta tion for sev en years. At one o'clock the prisoners were put to the bar to answer the charge. They were all young men, o f t h e better orderof mechanics, well dressed, and f or the most part " fit f or service." fhe office was crowded to excess, and several military gentlemen we re spectators. Mr.. Baldwin, Q C th Castle adviser, a and Mr. Perrin ipp7 l a e red , for the • C d r . o . l A v i n; Mr. O'H ea, Mr. Me ag h er (not of t Dolieny, of the I r i s h Confederation, were for, and pri soners. Mr. Mitchell was also present to watch the proceedings. The f o ll ow i ng evidence was taken Luke Prender sworn, and examined by Mr. PORTER— lahe l am a sergeant in the metr o p o li tan police, and . I to charge these men with un l awfully assembling h n ere empty workshop in the rear of N o . 14, Ship-street, and there practising military exerci ses for revolutionary purposes ; the prisoner Gogarty w as engaged in drilling the prisoners at the time I arrested t h em, which was near ten o'clock last 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'clock ; and on that evening I also saw the drilling take place, Gogarty giving the commands as on Sunday night. Mr. UREA objected to any evidence being received against Gogarty respecting the proceedings of Friday evening. The present charge against htdl and the rest of the prisoners ought to be confined towiiat took place last evening ; and it was quite contrary to the rules of evidence to support the present charge by evidence of what took place on a different occasion. Mr. PORTER decided on receiving the evidence ; what ho 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 Vedder 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. OUlee—l 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 toll 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'llEA—Were you sent to this place ? Witness —I was. Mr. O'HEA—Did Colonel Browne dispatch you there? Witness—He did not. Mr. O'lfra—llid the person who sent you on Friday evening desire you to tell the persons who were there on that occasion that they were acting illegally ? Wit ness—No. Mr. 013 EA—Is it not a fact that this club-room is separated from the police station , in Chancery-lane by a single brick wall?, Witness--I don't know, but they arc 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 tho last witness on the two occasions referred to, was next examined, and corroborated the evidence of Sergeant Prender. Mr. Frend, Lieutenant and Adjutant of the 55th Regiment, was then sworn and examined—Ho deposed that from the evidence ho 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'HEa. then addressed the bench on behalf of the prisoners. lle contended that they could not b . e sent for trial under the Act of Parliam en t under which the present charge was preferred. The wor d s o f the Act 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 i d ea o f a State prosecution ` under such circumstances, was b e y on d a ll 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 Majest) 's subjects?" Unless the Bench were of this opinion, ho contended that the prisoners were entitled to their discharge. Mr. Dontar, 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 prese rve 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. DOIIF.NY said, as counsel for one of the accused party, he had a right to explain and give his opinion upon 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. Dolma( said he was as f u ll y ent i tled to apply himself to t h e consideration of the case in that office as in any o th er 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 OR 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 prison er G ogarty 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 hating been procured, the prisoners were dis charged. RUN ON THE SAVINGS' BANKS. The run for gold has extended to the nohrt. 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 Castlebollingham even Bank of Ireland notes have been altogether refused or taken at a discount of 2e. In Ardee, in particular, for the last two days, there has b een a l arge 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 has been a very heavy demand for gold during the last two weeks, partly for emigrants _ the cou n t ry , and partly owing to the groundless leavingear so ff many per sons w h o ought to be better info rmed.

REPEAL ASSOCIATION. This body met on Monday at one o'clock in Concilia ion hall. There was a crowded attendance, including Mr. O'Connell, M.P., Mr. John O'Connell, M.P., the Earl of Miltown, the Rev. Dr. "Ailey, Mr.l). O'Connell, Alderman O'Brien, M.P., Alderman Meagher, M.P., &c. The chair was filled by Mr. MAuiucE LEYNE, who made a short speech, which he concluded by reminding Lord John Russell " that Guizot laughed immoderately."—(This sentiment was loudly cheered by the audience, not one of whom knew what it meant.) Mr. M. O'CONNELL then read letters from Messrs. Scully, Greene, and Devereux, the members for Tippe rary, Kilkenny, and Wexford, announcing their inten tion of acting on the deputation to wait upon the Queen with the address of the Irish people praying for repeal; and afterwards a communication from 1)r. Browne, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Elphin, which was ordered for insertion on the minutes. Lord MinTowN then addressed the meeting, and asked two questions,— -By what means the Act of Union was carried? and by what means its repeal alone could be prevented? By blood, he said, it was carried in con junction with bribery; and blood alone would enable the Government to continue it, for the people of Ireland were naturally loyal and were always the firm supporters of a monarchy.—(Cheers.) His Lordship concluded by referring to the Times, which he said had stated that his coronet was doomed if repeal were passed, observing at present it was nothing more than an incumbrance—an empty title, which would be of some value if the Irish Lords and Commons assembled in College-green. Mr. GALLWAY then brought forward the following resolutions:— " Whereas the claims of Ireland to a domestic Parlia ment are so just in principle and in relation, not only to the well- being of this country, but the stability of the empire at l arge , o f suc h paramount i mpor t anc e, that for the_erisklinisters of th e C rown to treat t h ose c laims with d tv ouldionbe a and a co s u u r n s d e, es a e t rv a in n g y tthimeenootr undericeoftheaLnye.gciisrlcautunare. s e t m an_c hi e da s at , ibe d lete e ll3 se , rvi n y of c ensure , an d s i ngu l ar ly and most formidabl e so in the p resent most unprece d en t e d and emergency.

Member for the same." I❑ 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. Tho 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 to op posed to it he would resign. The meeting is not yet over, but the rent will be about 25/. 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 Eddoas, 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. 11. 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 edge 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 tl,e chest. These would cause immediate death. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against William Tompkins." Majority... £84,914 0 The CRAIRMAN 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 CTIAIRMAN 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. Pow proposed the election of Mr. Milts, a shareholder, but not previously a director, in whose caso notice bad been given. Ultimately the retiring directors, viz , Mr. E. Wigan, Mr. E. Crowley, Mr. J. Whishim, and Mr. J. Lowrie were re-elected, Mr. Power declaring it to be his inten tion to appeal to another tribunal. _ _ Messrs. Marriott and Green were elected auditors, and a vote of thanks was given to the chairman and the directors. EAST INDIA RAILWAY. An extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders was held yesterday, at the London Tavern, at one oclock ; Mr. Aglionby, M.P., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN stated that since the issuing of the last report the most remarkable feature in the company's affairs was the failure of the engagement entered into with the East India Company as to the raising of 100,0001. The Bill was, however, about to go into Committee unopposed, and might almost be considered as having already passed. Fifty thousand pounds was required by the Ist of May, in order to complete the de posit. The question to be decided was, whether the amount should be raised by a call of 21. per share, or whether the whole undertaking should be abandoned. Thinking that there ought to be no hesitation, he pro posed that the nmount 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 tho state of the Consol market admitted of that being done. This call would realise about 76,0001., or 20,0001. more then was actually required to fulfil the contract. After some conversation, On the motion of Mr. WILSON, seconded by Mr. HEN DERsoN, the meeting agreed to a call of 21., with a proviso that in the event of its not reaching 100,0001. 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 negativ e d by a l arge ma j or i ty, an d a vote o f t h an k s given to the chairman. OPENING OF THE BOULOGNE AND AMIENS RAIL WAY. BOULOGN E , Mormay.--The 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 t o th em. 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 administratio n 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 all rival 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 éclat to the long delayed completion of the line, and celebrate the open ing by a preparatory trip along the railway, with a suitable dtjeuner 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 (S 2 miles) was performed in two hours and a quarter, including two stoppages —at Rei gate and Tunbridge; 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 1 3 ing 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 a quarter to eleven o'clock, half an hour having 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 th• harbour. round about the station, evide ntly orements.
