PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES• g T e l s ii t sC , oim,omrditit)ereusraatiayn'ersigte, j\'.rdll.. ay at twelve o'clock, Mr. NATIONAL LAND COMPANY. Mr. George Thompson, Mr II in the chair, with M r . F. O'Connor, Lord In re Monsell, Captain Pechell, M r . S u lli van , the Judge - Advocate, Mr. Stuart Wortley, M r . S c h o lefield, Sir G. Strickland, and Sir Benjamin H a ll. Sharman Henl M Crawford, r. iailgstA°ll3rl Mr. Whitmarsh, of the Registration Company's office, underwent a long examination on the point of the powers conferred by the 7th and Sth -Vic toria, chapter 110, on the parties who are proffered as the principals of a provisional committee ; by which it appeared that on an application it is neces sary to give the names and addresses of the promoters who were the authorised agents df the company. The application for the provisional registration of this company was made on the 24th of October, 1846, when the parties returned as the promoters were Mr. Thomas Allsop, stockbroker, of Royal Exchange-build ings ; Mr. Feargus O'Connor, M.P. ; Mr. J. Shaw, undertaker, of Gloucester-street, Cummercial-road; Mr. T. M. Wheeler, of 83, Field-street, Commercial -road ; Mr. J. Wilkinson, wine merchant, of North Hay, Exeter; Mr. David Morrison, engineer; Mr. William Bute, grocer, of Kirk-gate, Leeds ; Mr. Martin Jude, inn keeper, of Newcastle ; Mr. Thomas Clark, of 16, Chap pell-street; Mr. Robert Wills, weaver, of Spitalfields. There were subsequently two other registrations by which, first the word " Chartist," and secondly the word " co-operative," were left out. Mr. 'l'. S. Duncombe, M.P., Mr. Seward, and Mr. Ernest Jones were regis tered as trustees. s p h p o l w ie n d th h a y t The several documents for the prov isional re g istration t w h e e r e amount then pu t subscribedin and read, w by e which it O/ was ., supplied s 2 16,000 shareholders, the number of shares issued being forty thousand. The m one y subscribed is paid in variously, by threepence , six p ence, and one 2,00 shillin a week. For the first subscription the holder g of the share was entitled to a house, two acres of land, and 2/. 12s. in money; for the second, a house, three acres of land, and 4/. 103. in money; and for the third, a house, four acres of land, and 301. in money, The number of the registered shareholders at the pre sent time is 43,847. The provisional registration was renewed on the 24th October last year, and subsequently the complete registration wasiapplied for, but not effected. Mr. Whitmarsh then related the several steps necessary for a legal application for an Act, all of which had been properly taken by the promoters of the National Land Company. The whole of the fees paid at the Registra tion-office was 311. 10s. 6d. The amount required to be paid for complete registration was prior to 1844 six pence for every 1,000/., but since that period it has been a shilling for the same sum. To a Member of the Committee Mr. Whitmarsh replied that it was illegal for any company only provisionally registered to purchase land for a public purpose, and he entertained no doubt but that very serious penalties had been incurred by the company now before the Committee. To Mr. F. O'CosNon, the witness replied, that there was nothing in the Act Bth and 10th Victoria to prevent private persons from puichusing lands, but that no per son could make calls or enter into any agreement in his public capacity as an agent or trustee of a company. To the CIitAIRMAN, Mr. Whitmarsh replied that pe nalties recoverable before a magistrate might be levied on the allegation of a common informer, but no action for the recovery of a penalty could be brought except under the authority of the Attorney-General. To a Member of the Committee, Mr. Whitmarsh re plied that he felt himself called upon of course to inves tigate the claim for provisional registration in all cases, and that in the event of all the regulations instituted by the Act not having been complied with he should refuse registration, as, indeed, he had done in the case of the Sheffield and Rotherham Company. That company had threatened him with a mandamus, but although tito application for new registration was only for a change of the name of the company, it was refused. To Mr. O'CoNNoR, Mr. Whitmarsh replied that after complete registration there was no necessity for the Bill to go before the President of the Board of Trade. To several Members of the Committee, Mr. Whitmarsh said that there had been no return of the number of shares and the amount of capital of the National Land Company. Such return, however, ought to have been made within one month after the provisional registration under a penalty of 20/., and the application for renewal of registration must be made on behalf of one-fourth part both in number and value of the subscribers. To Mr. Haaany, Mr. Whitmarsh replied that the officials of the Registration-office ascertained those par ticulars from the registry upon their own books, and when ascertained they must be inserted in the schedule annexed to the deed on complete registration. The draft of the deed for the settlement of this company, but not the deed itself, had been presented for the examina tion at the office and certified. Unless the deed con tained all that was required in the seventh section of the 7th and Bth Victoria, and in the fifteenth section of the 9th and 10th of Victoria, complete registration would be refused. To Mr. O'CONNOR, Mr. Whitmarsh answered that the law was in his opinion at present very defective and re quired immediate correction, for if not corrected great mischief must shortly ensue. To the CHAIRMAN the witness replied, that although he considered that heavy penalties had been incurred by the promoters of this company, yet, if a deed wer e now presented, containing a list of one-fourth of the share holders in number and value, he should feel bou nd to register it. Mr. George Chinery, managing clerk to Mr. Roberts, the solicitor of the company, was then examined as to the legal steps taken for the provisional and complete registration of the company, and he stated that every endeavour had been made to get the company certified as a friendly society, in the first instance, without avail. lie further generally confirmed the testimony of Mr. Whitmarsh. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of June 6.) SUGAR.—Today t he inactivity in the market for raw Sugar further increase d, and as the supply was large, a decline took place in the value of all sorts. This flatness is to be chiefly attributed to the proposition of Government respecting the navigation-tans West India Muscovado was dealt in with caution by refiners and grocers, although the prices taken were 6d per cwt under those of Friday.

Of 57 serona Guatemala offered at auction a part only sold. The market for all kinds of East India is in a very unsatisfactory position; from exporters and the home ,trade the demand is extremely limited, and there are sellers rather under the rates of the last quar terly sales.

Of African Ground Nut Oil 16 tuns at auc tion were taken in at 37s 6d to 38s per cwt. For Linseed Oil the market has a firmer appearance, and for home consumption a good demand has been ex perienced whilst several export orders were concluded, but the supply is plentiful.

At public sale 292 pipes and 21 hhds of South American were mostly sold. For auction 700 casks of Tallow are de clared. IRELAND. DUBLIN, JUNE 3.—UNION OF REPEALEIIB.—The Free man's Journal of this morning announces the reunion of the opposing sections of the Repeal party. " It has been generally known (the Freeman says) that during the past few weeks, the leading members of the Repeal Association, and of the Irish Confederation., have had re peated conferences, with a view to devise some plan for putting a total end to the disunion that has so lament ably marred the progress of the Repeal cause. We cautiously abstained heretofore from making any allu sio❑ to those conferences, not wishing to excite hopes tilt we saw reasonable grounds for expecting their reali sation. We believe we now see those grounds, and we confidently calculate that ere many days shall have elapsed the Repeal party will present once more a bold and united front." By what means or influence the Old and Young Irelanders are to be reunited does not appear. Whether under the leadership of O'Brien or O'Connell, or as the Nation suggests, under a legislative council of 300, with an executive committee of five to act as cabinet to the movement. Males Females RUMOURED ARREST OF Ma. S. O'BRIEN.—It was rumoured in the early part of the day, that a warrant was in the hands of the police against Mr. S. O'Brien, on a charge of sedition contained in the address of the Confederation. MR. MITCIIEL'S LAST PUBLIC DOCUMENT.—The following letter was addressed, on the day of his con viction, by Mr. Mitchel to the St. Patrick's Club, of which he was President:— "To the Secretary of the St. Patrick's Confederate Club. " Newsrate, Friday, one o'clock. " My dear Sir,—ln taking farewell of the St. Patrick's Club, which I do with deep gratitude, for their un wavering kindness to me, I wish to make some re marks to them on the position of the cause. There is no reason to be dispirited, provided the confederates will from this day forth insist on an aggressive course of action being entered on and steadfastly persevered in; I mean that a resolute stand should be taken for right and justice against 4 law' for the common privileges of manhood against police-constables and soldiers. I tell you it will never do to recognise for one in stant their ruffian Acts of Parliament for laws, nor to suffer continual insults and buffetings at the hands of men in blue coats armed with truncheons. The spirit of no nation could live through such an ordeal, if it be much longer continued. You may organise, and recruit and arm, and what you call prepare, till harvest, or till an European war, or till the sky falls; but the cause will be going back instead of forward. Now, to ensure safe and rapid progress, the Con federation absolutely needs a more efficient executive head. I need have no delicacy on this point, because I have expressed to the principal members of the Council in person, my decided opinion that the Council has not been doing its duty, and that, constituted as it is, real service of the sort now wanted is not to be expected from it. The Council is at present, and always has been, a clique or close borough, and the practice of add ing at pleasure to its own numbers, has a tendency to make it become continually more and more of a clique, and less and less independent and effective. Do not p cht a e heo c sens i t aef select ycetunt Confederates, eoacmert circle iln 3 se , : d ohar e feer a rgrancnrgdlu gentlemen friend, Mr. understand me as intending to undervalue either then o B as ut a l l the character or the abilities of most of the leaders,' as they are called now in the Council. For siismtnaes)se7; Meagher, eacr o rett Id t i h htilh e ag m als, bold forward movement is to be expected. I mean, people in some form should actually elect the , members of the Council—say for six months, and not b means suffer it to add t:"., its own members. Of course, this would violate the Convention .Act,' which I consider an additional argument in favour of the thing I suggest. It is plain that no unpacked ever convict for sedition in Ireland andi jury will hold it to be absolutely essential to the cause that continually put the Government ) t we should and diabolical resource of packing. T h ais e disgraceful . is needful, in order to rouse indignation, to excite manly feeling in this country in our e all honest and favour, to show, what British Government in this ountry really rests upon--viz., fraud, force, corruption, c perjury, and blasphemy; but, above all, it isneeful keep alive and increase the spirit of t i h i L l order I to peop e. Believ e me, it is not arms it is not food, it is orga nisation, opportuuity, er union,' or foreign sympathy ptrlreland wants—it is spirit —a proud, dfiant 3' intoulery aice of slavery and scorn, of pretended legal penal ties,' as well as other personal consequences. When this soul has come into Ireland, her oppor tunity e t is come, till then —never ! never ! ! I know constituted n t andhrteehhiaei nsgs that in writing this to you I subject myself to the im putation (which I hear some confederates dare to cast on men who hold such sentiments) that I am an agent of the British Government, hired to excite what is called a premature in surrect i on. ' Let me entreat the Club to look with dislike upon any of its members who is ready to make such charges lightly against others. This wretched co war dl y spirit of mutual suspicion is really the most fatal element I see in our movement at present ; and the man amongst us who charges an other with so hateful a crime, or hints it, or says such, or such conduct, opinions, or advice looks like such an iniquity, ought, indeed, to be prepared to substantiate the charge at his peril. Our proceedings hitherto have been public and above board, and I had hopes that our excellent principle of no concealment would have got rid entirely of the mischief of in formers and detectives, and their odious trade. But I find that the mutual distrust created by continual hints of their existence may, as disastrously affect our action as the very things themselves. Ido not know that I have more to say to you except to exhort you earnestly to go cr. The villanies of these criminal prosecutions must show every one of you that it is now only the more necessary to provide arms and ammuni tion, so as to have the power and spirit—the oppor tunity will conic from Heaven, to abolish the frightful system which, under the names of law and govern ment, lays waste and beggars, and degrades our noble country.—l remain, dear Sir, your friend, " JOHN MITCIIEL." The provincial papers report most favourably of the growing crops. DUBLIN, JUNE S.—FAILURE IN DUBLIN.—One of the oldest and most extensive meicautile houses in Dublin, that of Thomas Murray and Sons, Pill-lane, has stopped payment. The liabilities amount to upwards of 150,0001. A citr attachment was this day obtained against the firm fur 20,0001., at the suit of the Royal Bank. REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—The usual—and, we believe, we 'may add the last—meeting of the Repeal Associa tion, was held this day at Conciliation Hall ; Dr. M'Keown in the chair. The proceedings were of inte rest, seeing that it was announced by the leader, Mr. John O'Connell, that the: committee bad come to the determination of dissolving the Association. It was evident, he said, that the body did Rot possess the con fidence of the people; evident from the fact of the rent for last week amounting to the small sum of 121. It was also evident that the Confederation did not possess the confidence of the people, and therefore it was proposed to dissolve both, and on their ruins erect such an Asso ciation as would meet the approval of all sections of Itepealcra in Ireland. The rent for the week amounted to 13/. Os. J. Tua VICEROY AND THE MILITARY. The Limerick Chronicle complains that the Lord-Lieu. tenant omitted the usual dinner to the command ing officers of regiments in Dublin on the Queen's birth day, on which the Mail of this evening observes:— " The military certainly are not great favourites at the Viceregal Court ; and if what we hear be true of the 1 treatment which the officers receive who are on duty in the park, they have just cause for complaint. Their comforts are altogether unattended to, the quarters which they occupy are filthy iu the extreme, and as for courtesy or attention on the part of the Viceroy, that is a circumstance altogether overlooked." MILITARY AFFRAY.—Ou Saturday evening the neigh bourhood of Usher's-quay was somewhat disturbed by a conflict which took place between some soldiers of the 31st and 55th Regiments. From ail that could be learned it seemed that they were drinking in a public house on the quay, and one of the 31st having said that Mitchel should come back, or something to that effect, a 55th man expressed his contempt for what had been said, and the result was a row, in which the 55th were getting the worst of it when the picquet came round, and the combatants then decamped. There were forty or fifty soldiers engaged in the scuffle, but the weapons employed were of a no more serious charac ter than their cross-belts and fists. Last evening, at from eight to ten o'clock, or thereabouts, there was a renewal of the scene in Barrack-street and in its neigh bourhood, in which some of the 49th and another regi ment were said to have been mixed up. The soldiers fought in different places, and made their escape w hen ever the picquet appeared,'Jo recommence hostilities at some other corner of the street. The cause t e di vision all through related to " Repeal" or Mitchel," the 31st being Tipperary boys, while the 55th are an English regiment. The combatants were followed by crowds, and in some instances it was said that the civi lians stimulated them, but in one care they certainly ad vised the soldiers to go home. Nothing of a more serious character than what is above described occurred, and the disturbances might be more properly called scuffles than anything else. AUCTION OF MR. MITCHEL'S FURNITURE.—The auc tion of Mr. Mitchel's furniture took place at his late residence, Ontario -terrace, this day. There was a large concourse of persons, principally ladies, present; there was great competition, and most of the articles brought prices much beyond their intrinsic value. Amongst the articles sold was Mr. Mitchel's pike, made according to the pattern recommended in the United Iris/ man. left frigate, after a long stay on this station , Kingstown harbour this morning, to join Sir Charles Napier at Spithead. Nothing could be more gratifying than the accounts of the crops from all parts of the country.

The apprentices of Sheerness Dockyard have pre sented their late schoolmaster, Mr. John Drew, with a handsome and costly silver snuff-box, as a testimonial of their appreciation of the talents and conduct of that gen tleman as their instructor. The entrance to the basin at Sheerness was so far completed on Saturday as to admit of the caisson being used. The Wellington, 72 guns, Captain Price, was taken in and masted, the last masts the old sheers will be employed to fit, the new sheers being ready. WooLwicit, JUNE 6.—lt is gratifying to be able to state that Captain Chads, of the Styx steam-vessel, is much better to-day, having rallied yesterday evening. Two of his ribs are broken, but it is hoped he has not sustained other material internal injury, which was at first apprehended. Commodore Chads arrived at Woolwich yesterday afternoon from Portsmouth, and on the same evening the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty promoted Commander Chads to be captain. The Caradoc steam-vessel for the mail-packet service left Woolwie' this afternoon, for Greeuhithe, to have her compasses adjusted, and will then proceed to her station at Holyhead.

The cl lapel, which belongs to the Independents, was built in ttl e year 1844, and was ministered to by the Rev. Mr. Lim riser. Very soon after the discovery of the tire the root fell in with a great crash, and the whole presented a mass of flames. Th e eng i nes were very tardy in their :arrival, and the supply of water was bad. By twelve .: o'clock the fire was ent i re l y subdued; little, however, be trig left of the chapel but the walls. The cause of the c si'amity is supposed to have been an escape of gas. DRESSMAKERS' AND MILLINERS' PROVIDE: t7' IN STITUTIO\.-_We observe that a meeting, having: :for its object the establish ment o f an institution desig at !dforthe relief of necessitous persons, whose depent le nce is placed upon th e i r employment in the arduous aitcl pain ful task of dress -making and millinery, is to tal o place on Monday next. As there is no enterprise of is more benevolent character, calculated as it is to reset tct thou sands of suffering andwe!ldisposed females fr cp:tu vice and misery, we have no doubt that the call thu s made upon the best feelings of our nature will be libers.l iy re sponded to, and that the node and gentle ladies c f the metropolis will lead the way in promoting an unit rtak ing which mu. - 1 produce such inestimable benefits 1 o the humbler classes of their own sex. BRAZILS. RIO DE JANEIRO, APRIL 25.—Review of the Mae. '7ll - K -A.,, , hots from the 14th to the 22d April.—Never within our ' experience has business been so restricted as during the ~ period we are passing in review, nor can any material i c; improvement be looked for, until more decisive nforms- tion be received as to the consequences of the French 1 . '2 , Revolution. The possibility of war in Europe, and the - uncertainty as to the value of Brazil produce in foreign markets, have paralysed business.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. - - _ The SPEARLII took the Chair to day ,hortly after Twelve o'Clock. LORDS' AMENDMENTS. The Lords' amendments to the Shrewsbury Market Bill were considered and agreed to. _ _ THIRD READINGS. The Drumpeller Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. The Gr€ at Northern Railway (Isle of Axbolme ex tension) Bill was read a third time. On the motion that the Bill do pass, Lord GALWAY moved the insertion of a clause by way of rider, to compel the company to complete the line from Gainzborough to Bourtry, before they entered upon the Isle of Axholme line. The company had al ready expended upwards of three millions of money, for which they had paid 200,0001. interest, and had not opened more than half a mile of railway. Mr. CHRISTOPHER opposed the clause. With re spect to the statement of the Noble Lord, that not more than half a mile of the railway was now opened, he had to state that 120 miles of the railway was already constructed in Lincolnshire, and would be opened in September next ; added to which, 250 miles in other parts was nearly completed. After a short discussion, in which Captain Duncombe, Mr. Pussey, Mr. Grantley Berkeley, and Mr. Green took part, the House divided, when there appeared — For the insertion of the clause Against it _ _ _ Majority against the clause The clause was consequently lost, and the Bill was passed. THIRD READINGS. The following Bills were read a third time and passed: Low's Patent North and South-Western Railway (Harrow to Brent- ford) Oxford, 'Worcester, and Wolvcrbampton (No. 2—De viation of Line, and power to Shrewsbury and Bir mingham, and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley Railway Cumpaaies to contribute and make arrangements) Strathtay and Breadalbane Extension Railway. CONSIDERATION OF REPORTS. The r4ort — On the Manchester Corporation Water works Acts Amendment (No. 2) Bill was further consi dered, and agreed to. Mr. COW AN presented several petitions from dif ferent parts of Scotland in favour of the Sites of Churches (Scotland) Bill. Also petitions against the sale of intoxicating liquors on Sunday. ➢lr. MUNTZ presented fifty petitions from Preston and other parts of Lancashire praying fora reduction of the national expenditure, and in favour of vote by ballot, universal suffrage, and annual Parliaments. Several petitions were presented in favour of the Sites Bill; also a number of petitions praying the House to take means to prevent the sale of intoxicating liquors on the Sabbath. Mr. EWART presented a petition from 5,000 resi dents in Van Diemen's Land, against a revival of the system of transportation; also a petition from several hundred fathers of families in Van Diemen's Land to the same effect, and praying that a free representative Assembly might be conceded to the colony. The first petition was very long, going very fully into the affairs of thecolony, and giving numerous details as to its present financial position. The Hon. Gentlemaa gave notice that to-morrow he should move that these petitions be printed with the votes. Mr. W. J. FOX presented a petition from Finsbury, in favour of a national system of education. Mr. J. MATHESON presented a petition against the Marriage Registration Bill for Scotland. Lord LINCOLN presented several petitions in favour of the Health of Towns Bill. Mr. CARDS ELL presented a petition from Liver pool, signed by the Mayor of the town, praying for a re duction in the national expenditure. _ _ _ Mr. Sergeant TALFOIJRD presented a petition from Wallingford, praying the House to enforce the law re lating to the qualification of Members. Mr. SCOI T presented a petition from a place in Southampton, praying that some honour or distinction might be conferred upon the descendants of the inventor of the steam engine ; also several petitions from the woollen manufacturers of England, praying the House to take into consideration the great question of coloni zation. NOTICE OF MOTION. Mr. EWART gave notice that to-morrow he should ask the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary for the Home Department whether Government intended to introduce any meaaure for the regulation of grammar schools? Mr. GEORGE THOAIPSON gave notice that to morrow he should put a question to the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment in reference to a variety of communications he had received, alleging that on Sunday last the police of the Tower Hamlets assembled, and injured large numbers of the inhabitants of that borough.—(Cries of "Oh, oh.") Ile should also ask the Right lion. Baronet whether he had received any communication of a similar nature. — (Cries of " Oh, oh.") MR. MITCHEL. _ . Sir WM. VERNER, seeing the Right lion. Baronet the Secretary of State for the Home Department he wished to ask him, whether he had heard, and if there were any truth in the report, that John Mitchel, when put on board the Shearwater to bo conveyed to Spike Island, was entertained by the officers on board the vessel at their mess, and treated in a way that was unbecoming a convicted felon. Sir G. GREY said he had received no report or official information on the subject, but certainly a report bad reached him that the assistant-surgeon, and not the officers of the Shearwater entertained Mr. Mitchell at breakfast on his way to Spike Island. Upon receipt of that information he communicated it to his Noble Friend the First Lord of the Admiralty, and no doubt the matter would be satisfactorily dealt with by that Noble Lord. IRISH REGISTRATION. Mr. HAMILTON wished to know when the Irish Registration Bill would come on. Sir GEORGE GREY said his Noble Friend the First Lord of the Treasury would state on Friday. GAME CERTIFICATES FOR KILLING HARES BILL. On the order of the day being read for considering be report on this Bill, Mr. ELLIOT moved the insertion of a clause to the effect that a tenant should have power to grant written permission to kill hares on their farms The amendment gave rise to a long discussion in which Captain HARRIS and others took part. Mr. BURKE said he was opposed not only to the clause but the Bill altogether, and lie warned the landed interest of that House, that, if this Bill passed, it would ultimately lead to the utter annihilation of the game laws.—(Hear, hear.) In fact this Bill proposed nothing more nor less than to establish free trade in hares, and he should not be at all surprised if next year the Honourable Member for Manchester came for ward to extend the principle to partridges, pheasants, and indeed any and every description of game. The amendment was ultimately withdrawn. Mr. COLVILLE moved that in clause one the words "by any means, save as hereinafter excepted," be omitted. Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY gave notice that on the third reading he should move the insertion of several clauses, and took the opportunity of stating that the Bill would confer no boon upon the tenants, inas much as the landlords would take good care that the provisions of this Bill should never be put in force. Colonel SIBTHORP admitted that tenants suffered much from the injuries done to their fat ms by hares, but he submitted that the better way to deal with that difficulty was not to give them power to kill the hares, which, in his opinion, was no boon at all, but to provide that the landlord should make good the damage done by the game in the shape of compensation to the tenant. Mr. H. BERKELEY said lie was a free-trad e er, and he desired to see free - trade in game as well as in very thing else, and would support the right of every man to kill the game which he bred. He considered, however, that great mischief would result from giving power to tenants to destroy game by fire-arms, because murder had frequently been committed through the use of that instrument, whereas no danger attended the use of snares. After a few observations from some other Hon. Mem bers, the House divided, when there appeared— For the omission Against it ... Majority (LEFT SITTING.) MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.—CHATHAM, JUNE C.— Yesterday evening the 2d division of the 28th Regiment (North Gloucester) marched from the terminus of the Gravesend and Rochester Railway to Brou3pton bar- racks. Its strength consists of 10 sergeants, 5 drummers, 8 corporals, and 163 privates, with 10 women and 16 children, under command of Major F. Adams. with Captain Alexander Frazer, Lieutenant S. Rawson, Lieu tenant C. Stevens, Lieutenant J.Verling Ellis, Ensign J. Meacham, Ensign Berkley J. Lennox, and Assistant- Surgeon B. W. Marlaw, in medical charge. This divi sion embarked at Calcutta, and sailed on the 29th of January, and landed-at Gravesend on the sth inst. from the ship Malabar. During the passage three soldiers jumped overboard and were drowned, and five died at sea. The division was inspected this day, and it will march from here to Canterbury on Thursday next. OXFORD UNIVERSITY BOAT RACES.-These spi rited and interesting eight-oared races were brought to a conclusion on the evening of Monday last, when Christ Church, who has gallantly headed the river for the two last seasons, came in number one. Worcester, which are considered the finest oarsmen on the river, and who on the first and second evenings of racing signalized themselves, bumped Pembroke and Brasenose, number two. Pembroke, although bumped by Worcester, have, by serving Brazenose the same, maintained their posi tion, as at the commencement, viz., number three. Wad ham also, by bumping Brazeuose, was placed number four, while Brazenose was lowered from number two to five. Balliol has remained the same throughout, viz., number six; Jesus also number seven; and Trinity, who succeeded in bumping Lincoln the first night, number eight; after which, the latter was taken off the river. NEW REFORM MOVEMENT. KINGSTON-ON-. THAMES, JUNE 3.—A deputation from Mr. Joseph Ilume and other Members in favour of the New Reform Movement waited on several of the leading Whigs of this borough, on Tuesday and Friday last, to arrange measures to call a public meeting to further their views, and reports are current that such will be called the week after next, several well-known reformers having pledged themselves to the deputation to that effect. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. SOUTH- WESTERN .—On Saturday the viaduct extend ing this railway from the Nine Elms station to the Waterloo-bridge-road was completed; the rails are laid down nearly the entire distance, the station at Waterloo bridge -road is rapidly advancing towards completion, and it is confidently anticipated that the trains will com mence running ou this extension early in July. LEEDS AND TLIIRSR.—This line which has been opened for coal and goods traffic from Thirsk to Ripon since the Ist of January, was inspected by Capt. Laftan, one of the Government inspectors of railways, on Friday week, in company with Mr. Cash, the managing director, and Mr. Bourne, tha company's resident engineer. The inspection was completely satisfactory, and all necessary prepara tions were made for the opening of the line for passenger traffic on the following Thursday, June 1. The certificate of the Railway Commissioners arrived on Tuesday morn ing, and a free trip was given to the shareholders, friends, and supporters of the company, resident in Ripon, Tnirsky and the neighbourhood, on Wednesday. A train consist ing of 18 carriages, filled with passengers, started from Thirsk at nine A.M., and another from Ripon at half past ten, consisting of the same number of carriages, also well filled. About 1,000 persons were conveyed each way in the course of the day.—Leeds Paper. BUCIINGIIANOLIIRE.—The first sod in the formation of the railway from Brackley to Banbury was turned at Farthinghoe on Monday last. CRURNET.—The works on this line, between Ut toxeter and Burton-on-Trent are making great pro gress, the excavations and embankments being in a great measure completed; the greatest portion re maining to be done is at Stretton Hill, near Burton on-Trent. The permanent rails on a great part of the line near Tutbury, Scropton, &c., are aready laid and ready for use. Engines will be immediately put on the line to expedite the works, and it is understood that this part of the Churnet Valley line, that is between Uttoxe. ter and Burton-on-Trent, will be opened during the pre sent summer, in connexion with the line from Uttuxeter to the Potteries.—Derby Mercury. The Rev. Robert Montgomery, M.A., minister of Percy Chapel, made a most powerful and eloquent ap peal on behalf of the Langbourn Ward Charity Schools, at the church of St. Monis Backchurch, Fenchurch- street, on Sunday morning last, to a most respectable and crowded congregation. His text was from the 2d Epistle to Timothy, 3d chap., 15th Terse. A liberal amount was collected. ALLEGED MURDER AND SUICIDE AT BRISTOL.— On Monday the bodies of Maria, Edward, and John Hill, mother and children, were exhumed for the pur pose of being submitted to an examination, rendered necessary under the following circumstances :—ln Octo ber last the wife of Mr. Thomas Wellington Hill, a retired builder of Bristol, died somewhat suddenly, and her death was followed in a short time afterwards by the decease of two of her children. No suspicion was attached to any party at the time of the death of Mrs. Hill, and not until application was made by the hus band for the amount of a policy effected upon the life of the wife in the National Loan Fund Assurance Society. As the policy was to a large amount, 3,0001., and was only effected four months previous to the death of the insured, the parties in the insurance-office disputed payment, and caused inquiries to be made respecting the death of the wife, and it was dis covered that her illness had been attended by vomit ing. Mr. Hill having threatened the insurance society with an action, they caused the body of the wife and also the bodies of the children to be disinterred, and the intestines given to Mr. Herapath, the celebrated chemist, for analyzation. During the time the bodies were being disinterred the suvected party committed suicide by means of essential oil of almonds which he had pro cured—a portion himself and another portion by means of a sister—from two druggists' shops. Mr. Hill wrote a note previous to t&king the poison, in which he said, in disconnected sentences, that "his head suffered severely from mental distraction. Ills mind was bowed down by the attempt of a powerful party to crush him. Ile was not guilty of the atrocious charge," &c. An in quest was held upon the body on Monday evening, when a verdict of " Temporary Insanity " was returned. The inquiry respecting the death of Mrs. Hill and her chil dren will be resumed on Friday. _ RaGam:. ScnooLs.—Last evening a public meet ing was held in the Crown-court School-room in behalf of the ragged schools recently established in Brewer's court, Great Wild-street, Drury-lane. Lord Kinnaird having taken the chair, the secretary read the report. The building in which the school was held was the gift of a benevolent gentleman desirous to improve the con dition of the poor children of the neighbourhood. Owing to the want of sufficent funds the committee could make provision for none but boys, 150 of whom had been admitted. The state of the poor in Great Wild street:might;be judged of from the following statistics: — In 155 houses were found 700 families, containing 1,500 souls : of these 30U could not read, 350 were without the Scriptures, 1,150 attended no place of worship, only 12 were communicants, 640 children were capable of going to school, and only 150 went occasionally. THE WESTERN GRAMMAR SCHOOL.—A meeting of the inhabitants of Brompton was last evening held in the great room of this institution (which is in connexion with King's College), in Alexander-square, where an official statement from the committee was made as to the objects, progress, and position of the establishment. The chair was occupied by F. Godrich, Esq. Resolutions were passed expressive of the high satisfaction which the course of education adopted had given to the parents of the pupils—of the great benefit which the establishment conferred upon the inhabitants of the district—and of thanks for the anxious superintendence bestowed upon all the interests of the institution by the committee of management. NOVEL CRICKET MATCH.—An interesting, and, we believe, unprecedented, match at this popular g a me came off at Blunt's Ilall, Wratting, on Wednesday last, in the presence of a numerous assemblage of the elite of the neighbourhood. The contending parties were Mr. Goodchild, of Wratting Hall, and his two agricultural pupils, against the Rev. W. Syer, of Kedington, assisted by his faithful and well-trained retriever dog, Carlo. Mr. Syer winning the toss, went in first, and succeeded in scoring 4S runs in his usual excellent style. The op posite party then in succession took their bats; but from the agility and superior fielding of Carlo (who through out did his duty under admirable command), they only scored 6 runs iu their first innings; continuing their second innings, however, fortune smiled upon them, and the two innings amounted to 71 runs, leaving their rev. antagonist 23 runs to get in his second innings, in which he only scored 7 notches. Mr. Goodchild and his pupils therefore came off victorious.—lpswich Express. MEETING AT NEWCASTLE..-- A public meeting, convened by placard, was held on the Town Moor at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, on Sunday last, to sympa thise with John Mitchel, and express its opinion ou the reform movement. A large number of per sons assembled, but the proceedings were conducted entirely by Chartist orators, by whom the meeting had been got up. No attempt was made by the authorities to prevent the gathering, as there seemed no disposition on the part of the Chartist leaders to disturb the peace of the town and district, as in other parts of the country. Mr. William Ross occupied the chair. We have reason to believe that Count de Mirasol, who was sent on a special mission by the Spanish Go vernment to this country, with the object of furthering the maintenance of amicable and friendly relations be tween the two nations, is on the point of returning to Madrid.
