" That a trerty of perpetual feendship and alliance between the Honourable East India Company and his !Holiness maharaja Pertauti fghean, his heirs and stieccspors, was concluded on Ho. 25th of Sep tetaber, 1419, and afte wards duly ratifile.d,%y which, in consideration °Nile ant'qnity of the Homo: oi . his Hiohness the It:ljt of Sattara, and for State reasons of paramount importance, the British Govern- Ment agree I to cede, in perpetual Sovereignty to Toni, his heirs, and Successors, the territory 01 Sat:ant, for the maintenance of his family in comfort an.: dignity. " That his Highness the late 'Rijn for upwards of peso nteen years governed his country and fulfilled all the conditions ot his treaty with the British government in so exemplary a manner, that in Decem ber 18:15, the Court of Directors tumultuously, with the sanction of the Board of Control, sent a sword of honour and a letter to his Highness, which letter was expressed in the following words: " Your Highness, " We have been hi,hly gratified with the information from tune to time transmitted to us by our Government, on the subject of your Ilishnots's exeMplary tultilment of the duties of that elevated situa tion in which it has pleased Providence to place you. " A course of conduct, so suitable to your Highness's exalted sta tion, and so well calculated to promote the prosperity of your do Minions, end the happiness of your people RA that which you have Wisely add uniforinly pursued, while it reflects the highest honour oil your own character, has imparted to our mints the feelings of unqua- Pled satisfaction and pleasure. "The liberality, also, which yott have displayed, in executing at your own cost, van ens public works of great utility, and which has so Putty raised your reputation in the eyes of the princes and people of India, wives you an additional claim to our approbation, respect, and applause. " Impressed with these sentiments, the Court of Ilirectors have Unanimously resolved to transmit to you a Sword, which will be pre sented to you through the Governtnent of Bombay, and which we trust you will receive with satisfaction, as a token of their high es teem and regard.

CARNAC, Deputy. " 29th Decemb er, 1835. " " That notwithstanding this tinexampled testimony to his Merin' as a sorereigit ant as a man, the late Itaja of Sattara was de posed by the Government of Bombay on the etli of September, 1839, for an alleged breach of treats, and has recently died an exile at Benares, solemnly protesting Inand, his innocence his dying , never ceasing to do ng hour. th e opportun i ty o f p ro ving it. to "Tkat Major J.D. Carpenter, the officer who had the custody of the Itaja's person, an d was in consiant communication with him far :more than sesfen years, from the tin.: of his arrival at lienares tip to the day of his death, wrote his own deliberate opinion, when called upon In his letter to the Governor-General, dated Minorco, 25th May, 1846, in the following words —(See l'ailiamentary Papers, No. 711, of 1847 To this end I carefully studied the whole of the voluminous documents connected with his (the Raja's) case, and the result was a belief in his innocence; and this belief has been confirmed beyond a doubt by subsequent disclosures, and by his pledging himself to prove It (his innocence) if permitted to do so, in his letter to Sir Henry rfardinge, of the 12th December, 1844, forwarded through me, which Pledge I am full persuaded he (the Raja is able to redeem." "'that it further appears that the whole of the late It , jit'e private )roperty was seized contrary to a distinct written pledge, under the band of Sir James Carn4c, the Governor of Bombay, confirmed by three notes from Colonel Ovane, the Political Resident at Sattara, Which property W2lll never restored. " Tlaerefoee resolved,—That, considering the responsible functions entrusted to this Company by the Legislature, and having regard for the honour of the ern,lre, and security and goat government of the people and princes of India, tkis Court earnestly recommends to the Court of Directors to ohtiln the sanction of the Board of Control to .th in stituting of a publi c an d i mpart i a l i nqu i ry i nto the c h arges , n l i ought ac,ainst th e l ate Raja of Sattara, and into the manlier in which l e Published evidence against hint Inv been obtained, In order that t tie truth or falsehood of that evidence may be made manifest, and British Government purged from the imputation of having tilled the late Raja of Sattara harshly, illegally, or vindictively."

REPLY OF DR. 1+1:11A - 1:1:: - TO THE EARL OF SHREWSBURY. This epistle is of such tremendous length, that we can merely give its tenor. The Prelate begins by asking the Noble Lord in what Ministerial office he has taken out his commis sion to manage the concerns of the Catholic Church of Ireland. A late order for fast and thanksgiving was sent by the Viceroy to Catholic as well u Pro : testant churches. This is of a piece with the letter of Lord Shrewsbury, who is accused as one of those "discreet Catholics" that Ministers love to employ. Dr. M‘Hale says that Lord Arundel's letter did not breathe that "slavish and unchristian insolence" which marks the communication of other English Catholic Peers, who are mere suitors for Ministerial favours. After a lively description of the miseries of the Irish population, the writer . pleads in his own behalf the absence of crime in his peculiar diocese. Untortu nate!y the good Prelate never alludes to Major Mahon's murder, which took place in his vicinity, and led to the letters of the Catholic Peers. This is a very singular omission. The Prelate then denounces the system of chari table societies in Ireland, who, under English influ ence, undertake to f ee d an d preserve c hildren from perishing of famine, by receiving them into schools. Dr. M‘Hale calls this an abominable scheme of proselytism. To another charge of Lord Shrewsbury the answer is as follows : "As one proof of its spiritual destitution, the re peal rent' is paid throughout the diocese to forward the measure of the repeal of the legislative union ! Yes ; and your Lordship's surprise, but echoing the affected surprise of our enemies, will only strengthen our determination. Poor as we are now, as your Lordship supposes, in respect to schools and chapels, we were far poorer and more destitute when we sup ported, by similar pecuniary sacrifice, the Catholic Association. Did your Lordship or your fellow- Peers, now so much scandalised at the right of citizens claimed by the priests of Ireland, after the example of St. Paul, then launch any indignant philippics against their so. called political inter ference ? Oh, no! as long as the Catholic Peers of England—dead to society—from the lowest offices of which they were excluded— slept, like the enchanted knights of old, in the keeps of their baronial castles, bristling with the penal terrors which kept aloof the approach, nay, the very hope of liberty—a slumber in which they would have still lain, without much loss to society, had it not been for O'Connell and the Catholic priests and people of Ireland—we do not find that there was uttered any complaint from any quarter against that sacred influence that marshalled the men in this peaceful and moral warfare, until the mighty chief routed the dragons of grim enactments, that were keeping ward around their mansions, and the clangour of emanci pation awakened them once more to freedom and to life. lVho could have imagined that it would have been since the chief labour of some of those Lords to propitiate the inveterate bigots, whose joy at their bondage could only be equalled by their rage at their liberation, and not only to forget the former sharers in their sufferings, but, worse than the companions of Joseph, who only forgot his captivity to labour to forge new and more galling fetters for those who had mainly contributed in shaking off their own. But Peers have certain privileges, among which, no doubt, ingratitude is to be numbered. In this very ingratitude, by which they are treated by those from whom they had a right to expect aid, the Catholic clergy find fresh evidence to justify them in the course they have adopted. The people and the priests contribute their mite to the association out of their ' poverty, I will admit, and not out of their abundance.% This very sacrifice proves their abhorrence of that mendicancy with which they are reproached by their oppressors as a national vice, and their unconquerable determination, whilst they are as loyal as any portion of her Ma jesty's subjects, to be equally free. Like the hus bandman who sows in spring to reap in harvest, they give their little offering now to obtain that sound legislation which will secure the fruits of industry, and avert the recurrence of those famines that deso late the land, which, no scarcity alone but bad laws have brought on, and which those cruel and unequal laws are terribly aggravating. As the destitution, the disorders, and the crimes that afflict the country spring from those bad laws, as a troubled stream from a bad fountain, what raore laudable in the pastors of the people than to labour peaceably for having sub stituted in their place, a system of wise and benevolent legislation ? As another source of " spiritual destitu tion " is the want of national school 3, perhaps your Lordship might inform the public whether, from any recent alliance with the National Board, your sym pathies have any kindred leaning to that body. If so, will your Lordship report likewise of the Protestant catechism, that is surreptitiously tau4ht to Catholic children, in some of those few national schools that are forced on the ordinary of the diocese, even by Catholic Commissioners, in defiance of the rights of episcopal authority--nay, of th e supreme authority of the Pope ? Is your Lordship aware that it was the instruction of his Holiness that the property of the national schools resorted to chiefly by Catholics should be vested in the Catholic pastors, and that in opposi tion to that admonition every art has been employed to induce the present patrons to resign their leases and vest the property of the schools exclusively in this dictatorial body, under the pretence of keeping them in repair, as if they could not be kept in repair under their present trustees and patrons ?" Dr. M'llale continues to plead, that if he does not patronise schools, he fosters and founds monasteries, which are much better. By C. J. LUCAS and Co., Consulting Surgeons, No. 60, Newman- street, Oxford-street, London. Member of the London College of Medicine, &c. /cc, CONTENTS Or TIM WORK, his right of protesting against the confirmation of the Bishop of Hereford, resting his claims, simple man as he was, on the letter of the law, but who was over ruled by the more orthodox interpretation and sterner authority of the commissioners. Are these the great destinies which the Irish Church is to achieve when freed from dependence on their flecks, and from popular subserviency ?' If so, it is, I trust, a disastrous destiny which the Catholics of Ireland shall never contemplate. This would he a fate which reminds me of the words of St. Hilary, the Bishop of Poictiers, to Constantius You hate the preachers of Jesus Christ—you build the walls of our churches, in order to defile their worship —you ask the benedic tion of bishops, in order to trample on their faith, and you invite those bishops to your feasts, in order that rising from the table they may go like Judas to betray their Divine Master.' Is this the glorious vision which presents itself to your prophetic view —the coils of Ministerial patronage gently and successively drawn around the Church until she should perish in the deadly embrace? Why not, then, at once avow this project, and reveal to the world the deep schemes of diplomacy now at work at home and abroad to enslave her ? Has there been any recent attempt to extort from Rome, ever watchful against fraud, as she is firm against persecution, the delega tion of a portion of her authority to any lay envoy of your Lordship's acquaintance, in order that the discipline and next the doctrine of the Catholic Church, as well as the reputation of the Irish hie rarchy, should be played at hazard in some of your London saloons, and, like the balls of a billiard table, be flung to and fro amidst an unprincipled circle of political gamblers ? Some of the parishes in Ireland have the spiritual aid of perhaps only one young priest, just turned out of college I In what political training school does your Lordship mean that those young priests ' just turned out of college,' should be formed for the mission ? Msynooth ! Ah, May nooth I I perceive is still felt to be a failure. Not withstanding the hopes entertained from its recent endowment—out of English money to be sure—and that annual labour of the Duke of Leinster and there formed visitors to exalt,expaud, refine the notions of the students by an insight into the mysteries of mangel wurtzel and bullock feeding, as well as the fusion of various metals into one, to signify how the distinction of creeds may be confounded by similar amalgama tions—Maynooth is still, and will continue, like an old monastery, where the students are peculiarly ad dicted to the study of logic and theology, and where the love of country cannot be trodden out. Why not at once reform these abuses, and trace to old Dens, as their genuine source, all the iniquities of the confessional and all the denunciations of the altar ? You must look to the rising generation of ecclesiastics. Let the old priests, like the old people through the country, die away, or live as well as they can, but you must take special care of the young ones. As they have proved ungrateful for recent kindness, draft away at once those young incorrigible Celts to Saxon land, imperialise the priestheod and consolidate our colleges like the excise or the custom house, place them at once in London, under a board of commissioners and teachers of every colour and form of faith from Beaumont to Brougham, so recently immortalised in the epigrammatic delineations of the eloquent apostolical administrator of Derry; who, with out any compromise of their own opinions, for pro bably they do not know them, will give the Irish pupils the benefit of them all ; let them ascend the gradual scale of every heresy, the vital air of faith becomes more attenuated as they rise, until they reach the utter void o f a b so l u t e unbelief; let the fashionable levity of their carriage correspond with the graceful evolutions of their creed; and let their language—a perfect type of their mongrel faith and their mongrel morals—be a mixture of Irish brogue and English cockneyism, nay, bringing on them the ridicule of the one country they are taught to admire, as well as the scorn of the other which they are trains I to disown • and when they shall have thus become accomplished gentlemen by taking from them all heart, all soul, and all affection for their country and their creed—send them hack again a pensioned, conceited, and an unfeeling priesthood, to wear at every levee the livery of their servitude and their hire, and to rival the idols of the Establishment in casting salt on the sores of a suffering people, and pouring oil on the heads of their oppressors ; and then, indeed, may you hail the advent of Ireland's re ligious and political regeneration ! !" One more extract, and a concluding one : " What a melo-drama—what a ludicrous and tragic mixture, this entire affair of Roman embassies and Irish clerical denunciations Is your Lordship aware that whilst one nobleman preaches and practises coer cion at home, his noble relative is said to be a most enthusiastic worshipper of the wildest forms of liberty abroad ? Nay, he is represented as the bosom friend of the youthful Ciceroacchio, who, it is said, aspires to be another Rienzi, and to restore the reign of the ancient Tribunes on the ruins of the Empire of the successors of St. Peter. It is even said that Lord Minto, too, aspires to the fame and honours of Pe trarch, becoming a musical sonneteer in favour of the coming political millennium, and lie may he prolong ing his stay in Rome until, like the admirer of liberty and Laura, he shares the triumphs of the young Rienzi, by receiving the crown of poetry on the Capitol. It is the representations of such an am bassador, said to be so hostile to the Holy Father, you have been strengthening by your ca lumnies on the Irish hierarchy. And for this public scandal I now demand adequate reparation. Your Lordship, at least, will not controvert the position, that evangelical discipline requires that for public sins there should be a public penance.' You are perfectly right, my Lord; David was not a more cor rect casuist when, unconscious of the tendency of his reply, he answered to the apologue of Nathan ; and for your public denunciatious of the entire Catholic Church in Ireland, and some of its dignitaries in par ticular, we require your public atonement. You owe it principally to the Bishop of Elphin and the Arch ' bishop of Cashel, the successor of St. Cormac, who, though adorned with the crown and mitre, bequeathed to posterity the richer legacy of his sanctity and Irish literature. It seemed to have been the object of a rancorous faction to make the Irish bishops pio neers of the Attorney-General ; to smooth his approaches by breaking down the fences of the sanctuary, and to hand over their innocent clergymen, ( stripped of the reverence of the people and the panopoly of their sacred character, to become the victims of some persecuting bigots, in order that the flock might be easily dispersed, after striking down the pastor. Go, then, my Lord of Shrewsbury, and for this grievous scandal against the Church do penance, and weep between the porch and the altar.' The pear end of the staff to which you have directed attention is emblematical of the correction to be administered to penitents. This penance is to be tempered with mercy, and even towards Peers, who have generally more of proud flesh than other peni tents, we should forbear any unnecessary rigour, but should rather stretch out the crook to reclaim their wandering, and the staff to sustain their faltering steps, as they approach the tribunal of mercy; thus realis ing the mystical signification of the pastoral crozier— Pungit rebelles, sustinet infirmos, reducit errantes.' " I have the honour to be your Lordship's very obedient servant, JOHN, Archbishop of Tuam. IRISH SPECIAL COMMISSION. LIMBRICK, J. 22..—This morning► James Qtraine, a heavy, loutish fellow, about forty years of age, was placed in the dock, charged, first, with the wilful murder of Mr. Ralph Hill in November last, and, secondly, with aiding and abetting in its perpe tration. The particulars of this outrageous murder were detailed by us in our report of the trial of James Skeehan, who was on the 20th instant found guilty of being a party to it, and the case presented to the Court to-day was but a repetition of that which was investigated on the occasion of Skeehan's trial ; the only additional particle of evidence being the fact that the prisoner had borrowed on the night before the murder a single barrelled gun from a person named APNamara, and that on the day after the murder was committed he told him that unfortu nately Mr. Hill was shot—that what was done could not be undone—and that he had concealed the gun in a pigstye near the haggard, whence the shots were fired. It was also proved that the gun was found by the police in the very spot where the prisoner said he had concealed it. The jury, without retiring, found the prisoner Guilty. The wretched man, who had betrayed throughout his trial symptoms of the greatest fear, and had been most restlessly attentive to the whole of the proceed ings, was then remanded to the gaol for the purpose of being brought up again after a short interval to have sentence passed upon him. The trial was not over until five o'clock. The two men, John and Thomas Frewin, who yesterday pleaded " guilty " to the charge of har bouring, with their brother William Frewin, the notorious Ryan (Puck), were then placed in the dock. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he had read the affidavits made by the prisoners in extenuation of their guilt, in which they stated they were ignorant of the law relating to the crime of which they had been convicted. The Lord-Lieutenant had done all in his power to make known the law upon the subject, but under the circumstances to which he had referred on the preceding evening, he would ask their Lordships to inflict such a measure of punishment, short of transportation, as their Lordships should think fit. The LORD CIIIEY JUSTICE then sentenced Thomas Frewin to imprisonment for six months from the date of his committal ; .John to imprisonment for twelve months ; the former being a shorter period from the circumstance of his returning home only a few hours before Ryan was captured in the house. James Skeehan, James Quaine, and Michael Howard, were then placed in the dock, and the Learned Judges having put on their black caps, "'The LORD CHIEF BARON then proceeded to pass upon them the last sentence of the law, and fixed the 22d of February for their execution. We understand that it is the intention of the Attorney- General to apply to their Lordships for an adjournment of the Commission for this county until Thursday, the 10th of February next; but it is not anticipated that it will be found necessary to resume the proceedings, as the assizes will be held within a few weeks from the present time. On Monday morning their Lordships will proceed to Clonmel, and will open the Commission for the South Riding of Tipperary soon after their arrival. JEWISH DISABILITIES. Chap.

REGIMENT.—MALTA, JAN. 12.—One day last week a man of the grenadier company, Ist bat talion, 69th Regiment, garrisoned in Malta, and named M . Carthy, after the lights were put out, was heard by one of his comrades to be walking about the room, and the sergeant who slept near heard the sound of a ram rod. In the mean time the man M`Carthy was seized by his comrade, who found his musket in his hand, and the sergeant rushing in, seiz,d hi m an d pl ace d hi m i n confinement, when h 0 declared that his gun was loaded 1 for the adjutant, Lieutenant Denis Dann, and that if he was prevented then from carrying out his pine he would d o so on another occasion. His musket on being sub- ~ e quently examined was found to be loaded, though the man had not time to put on the percussion cap. The only assignable motive for the above act is the fact that s ome weeks ago, in consequence of several of the men having been found drunk, the colonel gave an order that each should answer to his name at roll call, and on the first occasion, the adjutant., hearing some murmuring, turned the men out, and particularly addressing himself to M'Carthy, desired him to be quiet. A general court martial will sit on the 14th instant to try the prisoner for the above crime.

There were eleven admitted into the hospital, of whom two now alone remain, and they are going on favourably. WESLEYAN MlSSlONS.—Yesterday evening the an niversary meeting of the Great Queen-street (Lincoln's Inn-fields) Branch of the Wesleyan Missionary Society, was held at the Wesleyan Chapel, Great Queen-street, to receive the report for the past year. There were pre sent the Rev. Dr. Beaumont, nno presided, the Rev. W. Lomas, the Rev. W. Illingilorth, Mr. T. Smith, a native of Cape Coast Castle, &c., with a large and highly respectable number of the supporters of the society. The Rev. Chairman, in a lengthened address, pointed out the importance of promoting conversions to Christianity. The Secretary then read the report, which stated that " without some special effort, the income of the Society would this year fall far short of the preceding years" the consequence of which would be, that they would be under the necessity of giving up some of their missionary stations. In Ireland there had been a decrease in the body of about 600; while in France, Switzerland, and Gibraltar, they had made no advance, except that at the last named place there was an increase attending the schools. In America, Now South Wales, Australia Felix, Van Diemen's Land, and South and West Africa, their prospects were flourishing; while it was intended to have a missionary establishment in China. They had in various parts of the world 294 missionary stations, 2,597 chapels and places of worship, 417 missionaries and supernumeraries, 771 interpreters and school teachers, and 7,674 ditto unpaid, 700,000 scholars, &c.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NITUSDALE RAIL WAY.—A very shocking accident occurred on the Niths dale line of railway, on the afternoon of Monday last, at the Bankhead cut, a little way above the embankment which leads through the Holms. A number of men were engaged in the waggon face, in the act of filling th e waggons, when a great quantity of the earth rushed down, and buried under it Peter Redmond, a native of Ireland. Only a small portion of his body was covered, but his head was disfigured in a dreadful manner. His death was instantaneous.—Dumfries Standard.

GAS EXPLOSION IN SOllo.—Yesterday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, a fearful explosion oc curred upon the premises helonginc , to Mr. Ellis, cur rier and leather dresser, New Compton-street, Soho. From inquiries made, it appeared that at the time above mentioned, Mr. Ellis, on going into the shop for the purpose of lighting the gas, was suddenly hurled to the 11.)or by the force of an explosion which resembled the discharge of a piece of ordnance, at the same time tho partitions of the shop were blown down, and the windows sent flying across the street. An aged female who was passing at the time was thrown down with great violence, but, fortunately, she reacived no personal injury. The damage is not extensive. REMOVAL OF THE FEMALE PRISONERS FROM THE CITY COMPTER TO THE BOROUGH GAOL.—Tho whole of the female prisoners of the very crowded Giltspur street Compter are being removed to the Borough, or Clink prison in Stoney-lane, Tooley. street. This altera tion has been directed by the Court of Aldermen, in con sequence of the packed condition of the City Compter, and the insubordination that prevails amongst the female and male prisoners. On the latter being removed this establishment will enable the authorities to carry out the separate system more effectually with the male priso ners. The Borough Compter is capable of containing 160 prisoners. Since the abolition of the police-office at the Town-ball, presided over by ono of the aldermen, it has been made use of more as a storehouse than a prison. It has, however, now undergone a complete alteration, and being within the jurisdiction of the City authorities, will afford the necessary accommodation for the increase of prisoners in the City, until the contemplated new house of correction at Holloway is completed.

At the Insolvent Debtors' C our t a t M a id s t one , l as t e a D t g ß b o art,yuogfhsoli citor.r. There were only two creditors in the schedule, one of whom was the Noble Earl, the opposing creditor. This was a creditor's application under the Act which empowers a creditor to file a petition where the debtor refuses. The insolvent had been turned out of a farm belonging to the Earl of Winchilsea, and a claim for damages made on him for 196/. 175., which he resisted. An action was brought against him, which was ref , - rred, and decided against him with costs. He then possessed about 1,549/. in money, of which he gave 750/. to his sister, as all( ged, for money borrowed of her. He hat also paid a large sum to another sister. The question in this case was, whether he had really owed his sisters any money? The insolvent swore that he did. anci w. so did the siste,:ii, but the Court was so dissatisfied h_ the case, as to bait:nate that at the next Court he wo u ld he remanded for three years, Costs of prosecution allowed.—Kentish Observer. A MERIC AN VESSEL. —The American vessel Ad rian, Captain Scott, from Mobilo, arrived at Havre o n Frida y morning, having on Tate CREW OF THE CONCORD , board the crew of the United States vessel the Concord, of Boston, December, when nea rl y exhausted with fatigue, in 28 w ho were picked up at s ea on th e 27 th of deg. 20 in. north latitude, 55 deg. 16 m. west longitude, their ship having sprung a leak and gone down. All on board had taken to the boat, except ono man, who perished in the waves. ACCIDENT ON TIIE ICE.-011 Saturday a coroner's inquest was held at the New Miller I)am Inn, near Bradford, Yorkshire, on the bodies of four youths, who were drowned on Thursday evening last. It appeared that on Thursday eight or ten boys were amusing them selves by sliding upon the large reservoir connected with the Old Mill in Brick-lane, Bradford, in the occupation of Messrs. Ellis and Priestman, corn millers. They confirmed for some time to follow each other upon the ice in rapid succession until at length, unfortunately, one of them fell, and, as an unavoidable consequence, others fell over him. Owing to the great pressure the ice broke, when six of them were plunged into the water; two of them, however, got out in a most unaccountable manner, but the remaining four were drowned. An alarm was immediately made, and by means of two planks nailed together, and the use of two boat-hooks and the well creepers, the bodies were got out in the course of two or three hours. The bodies were removed to the house of Mr. Thomas Bates, the New Miller Data Inn. The names of the unfortunate lads are John Townsley, aged twelve years, son of Francis Townsley, Thornton-street; John Whalley, aged thirteen years, son of Charles Whalley, of Chain-street, Silsbridge-lane; Lister Dra cup, son of Abraham Dracup, of Silsbridgc lane ; and William Smith, aged eleven years, son of John Smith, of Brick-lane. The dam is eight or ten yards deep in erne places, and the lads went down about eight yards from the edge. It is somewhat strange that boys are allowed to slide upon this reservoir, especially as so many lives have been lost in the same place and under similar circumstances. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death." SERIOUS CHARGES AT HARROW.—A man named Parker, who had resided for some time at Har row, and who, it appeared, had secretly deserted the place in the debt of several of the inhabitants there, was on Saturday brought before Benjamin Rotch, Esq., a county magistrate, on a charge of feloniously stealing a bay horse, a grey mare, ten pigs, household furniture, &c., from a Mr. Jones. Much interest was excited, but it appeared that the charge of felony could not be sus tained, Parker being the servant of Jones, and the magistrate declared that he had done all that a faithful servant would do. Mr. Parker was therefore dismissed, and immediately left Harrow for Blackheath, whence he had been brought in custody. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

The works at Holly-hall and also those at Woodside, belonging to Messrs. Cochrane and Geach, were subjected to these visits, and in one or more instances acts of great per sonal violence were committed. Under these circumstances, and apprehensive of an increase of such outrages, the magistrates have promptly issued a notice warning the colliers and others to refrain from breaches of the peace, and express ing a determination on the part of the authorities to afford every protection to those who are willing to work, and at the same time to punish severely all persons who commit any outrage or disturb the peace of the country. Three persons have already been apprehended for acts of intimidation and violence, and their cases duly dealt with by the magistrate. A detachment of cavalry is stationed at Dudley, and it is intended immediately to considerably aug ment the constabulary force of the district. It is to be regretted that the discontent of the workpeople is considerably aggravated by orators de legated by the National Association of United Trades, and that at two meetings, one held near Dudley yes terday evening, the colliers on strike resolved unani mously to stand out until their demands were conceded 'by the masters. At present there does not appear the slightest prospect of the iron and coal masters giving way. It is said that the miners and ironworkers in the employment of Lord Ward are to receive notice to night of a reduction in their wages similar to that agreed to by the other iron and coal masters in the neighbourhood. It is therefore probable that within a very short time there will not be a single furnace or pit at work in the whole of the South Staffordshire district—a fearful prospect. In the midst, however, of this lamentable statebf things it may be observed that, with only one or two exceptions, the various firms of the district, great and small, maintain theirposition without any-rumours of a questionable character. Placing the Oak Ferin Works out of question—for this concern, it appears, was insolvent before the present commercial crisis occurred—there has been only one positive and publicly announced failure in the district, and even in that case the liabilities of the firm were comparatively light and unimportant. At a meeting of the coal trade held at Stourbridge this week, it was unanimously agreed that a reduction of is. per ton upon coal, and 6d. upon all slack, which remains as before, should take place from the Ist of January, 1848. This looks as if there were heavy stocks on hand, or that the strike was consi dered not likely to be of long continuance. A very numerous and respectable meeting Was held last night, at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, for the purpose of adopting a petition to Parliament in favour of the removal of the disabilities under which the Jews now labour. The most perfect unanimity in support of the measure of Lord John Russell pervaded the meeting. At seven o'clock Mr. J. H. Palmer was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN directed the attention of the meet ing to the importance of the object for which they had assembled. The Jews were now admitted into many high ofices, and it was inconsistent to exclude them from Parliament.— (Hear.) Mr. TYWAITES proposed the first resolution, which was " That this meeting is of opinion that it is in direct opposition to the fundamental principles of civil and religious liberty that any of her Majesty's subjects should be deprived of their political rights by reason of their religious opinions. It was the duty of the people (said the speaker) to express their opinions to the Legislature in such a manner as would show their desire that all classes of British i sy e ki h e o e p ts ed sh al o s u o ldenjoy equal that the peopleual rights vi,oti and privileges. He followuiplegtheiss. movement, and seek for that most desirable improve ment, a separation of Church and State.—(Hear.) Mr. FULLER seconded the resolution, and expressed his opinion that the Bill of Lord John Russell for the removal of Jewish disabilities would pass in the House of Commons, but it was in the House of Lords that the great and principal opposition was to be expected; but the Lords ought not to forget, that the will of the people had always been potent in advocating the liberty of the subject.—(Cheers.) The resolution was unanimously agreed to. Mr. DIXON moved the second resolution, " That the meeting observes with satisfaction that a Bill has been introduced into the House of Commons by Lord John Russell having for its object the removal of many of the disabilities now imposed up in the Jews." The Rev. J. 13onNET seconded the resolution, and remarked that it was a very N't e lc objection to the admissioH of men to Parliament to say that they were Jews. The. Government Cid not of to borrowing money from the Jews, and it was not said that money so borrowed should not he applied to all the purposes of this Christian country. Why then should they be excluded from Parliament ?—(He a r, h ear ) The Roman Catholics had been admitted, although they were altogether opposed to the Protestant religion, so that the principle was admitted as regarding the ad. mission of the Jews to Parliament. Ile could net see any reason, either religious or political, for excluding the Jews from Parliament. The resolution was agreed to. Mr. THORNBORROW moved petitions to the Houses of Lords and Commons in favour of the measure for the removal of Jewish disabilities. DEATH FROM SLIPPING ON A PIECE OF OEANGB PEEL.—An inquest was held on Tuesday, at the Bristol Infirmary, on the body of Sophia Martin. Margaret Howard deposed that deceased was an unmarried woman, 36 years of age, a native of Thornbury, and lived by shoe -binding, and lodged at 6, Gloucester-lane. On the 9th of January she came to my door and showed her thumb, and said it was broken; that she was at Clifton and she slipped down by treading on a piece of orange peel on the pavement, and broke the bone of her thumb; it was very painful, and the pain increased, and she went to the infirmary, where it was attended to by the y doctors. She was an out-p a ti ent , b ut yesterday she taken into the house. Sh e o bj ecte d to go in te s before. She died yesterday H . Mr. ore, house-surgeon to the infirmary, stated deceased had at first a compound dislo cation of the thumb; it went on favourably till Satur day, when she was advised to come into the house, which she refused. Yesterday she was brought here with lock-jaw from the injury, from which there was no recovering her. Ether was tried without advantage. A piece of bone was removed from the thumb at an early period. She described the accident as occasioned by falling down in the street. Verdict—" Died from dislo cated thumb and lock-jaw, from falling on a piece of orange peel on the pavement. We trust that the ma lancholy result in the above case will act as a warning to those who are in the careless and reprehensible habit of throwing orange peel and such like things on the pave ment.—Gloucester Journal. UNION BANK OF AUSTRALlA.—Yesterday the half yearly meeting of this company was held at the offices, in Old Broad-street, City; J. J. Cummins, Esq., in the chair. The report was on the whole satisfactory. It stated that, although the business of the branches at Launceston and Hobart Town had considerably dimi nished, the improved appearance of trade was such as would lead to a demand for banking accommodation.. he directors had the satisfaction to state that no losses had been sustained by the bank during the recent period of commercial distress. The bad and doubtful debt account had been to a small extent reduced. The result of the operations had enabled the directors to declare a dividend for the half-year at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. The liabilities were to the extent of 994,5721. !M. 7d., and the assets amounted to a like sum. The undivided Was 37,6771. 10s. 11d., to w hi ch that of profit in June, u la n s e t , 1,8 7 half-year was added (na me l y , 33,321 / . 1.98. 4d., deduCing I.loth for reserve fund, 3,3391. 38, 111), which was 29,989/. 15s. 5d., maki ng 67,667/. 61. 4 ,1.

Me. llitehens ebject.cd to the in vestment of large sums in the Government Funds, which were liable to such great huctuationc. After a short discussion the report was adopted, and a vote of thanks was passed to the threctors. EARTHQUAKE AT MALTA.-011 the afternoon of the 10th of January, at :four o'clock, a small shock of an earthquake was felt at Malta; at eleven o'clock the sena° night, another somewhat stronger; on the llth, one P.M., a third, which lasted full a minute, and was very gene rally felt, causing some little damage to old tenements, and twenty minutes after a fourth shock, but which latter was a very slight one. The weather was calm at the time, with the wind from the S.E., anti nothing extraordinary in the atmosphere, if we except that raia had prevailed more or less for several days previous , which is rather unusual.
