Moved by Mr. 'Virtue, seconded by Mr. Fisher, and carried unanimously, " That at the present time, when commercial distress in the metro- Polls and other parts of Englan 1 has been so recently and is still so ”verely felt, the continuance of the Incomc.tax is peculiarly distress -4g to the merchant, trader, professional man, and mechanic, many ? t , whom in each class are deprived of the comforts, and in many in stances, the necessaries of life, in order to meet their just and ordi "arY 'engagements." Moved by Mr. Blake, seconded by Mr. Watson, and carried unanimously, " That this n eeting cannot believe, if careful, economical, endwise rn ea.sures had been adopted by her Majesty's Government, there would have been an increase, but, on the contrary, they believe there Would have been a decrease in the public expenditure ; whereby a l ' o rnmensurate diminution instead of an augmentation of taxation blight reasonably at this time have been expected and effected."

II The trial is over of " Bunn verses Lind, And by means of the papers, the facts have got wind. 11 r. Bunn had his lawyers, and so had poor Jenny, Who now, it appears, has to pay a rare penny. Two Thousand Five Hundred, besides all expellees, Is enough to make Jenny bereft of her senses. This minstrel, whose music has macloyas so fond, Has to pay this amount, having broken her bond ; Yea, in spite of the speeches of (invitee vehement. Jenny Lind is declared to have broken agreement. And certainly that is a serious charge. Which should give a broad hint to the public at large. I have thought since I Leant of this action of Bunn, Of the publ:o agreement of MOSES and SON. F. MOSES and SON, as ou all must respond, liars never been known to dishonour their bond. In the whole of their promises, no matter what, They've stuck to their contract, if Jenny has not. Their Drees.coats are proof% that they stick to their terms, And the whole of their stock this agreement confirms. Their elegant fashion, and quality, too, Are proofs that they keep their agreement in view ; And an action should no'er been entered by Blinn, Had the " Nightingale" acted like MOSES and SON.

The arxiety which has been so generally felt as to the fate of the ex-Royal Family of France is fortunately at an end in so far as regards the the Duchess de Nemours with her youthful family and the Duke de Montpensior, their Royal Highnesses having arrived at Southampton at an early hour yesterday morning from Havre. A speciel messenger was despatched to London immee diately upon the arrival of their Royal llighnesses, conveying intelligence of the fact to the French Em bassy, where he arrived shortly after midday. The Duke de Nemours, with his illustrious sister-in-law, the Duchess de Mon tpensier, having left Hertford House for the Belgian Legation, the Count t'e Jarnac at ones proceeded thither, and communicated to them the gratifying intelligence of the safe arrival of their relit. Lives. The Duke do Nemours was very desirous to go down to Southampton directly to meet the Duchess ; but as this would have involved the necessity of leaving the Duchess do Montpensier, his Royal Highness waived this determination, and two gentlemen, attaches to the French and Belgian Legations, were despatched to Southampton to conduct their Royal Highnesses to town. Thelr Royal Highnesses remained at the Belgian Legati m until nearly five o'clock last evening, at which, hour they left town for East Sheen, where they will occupy the villa belonging to Mr. Bates (father-in-law of his Excellency M. Van de Weyer) for the present. M. Van de Weyer accompanied their Royal High nesses to East Sheen, and subsequently returned to town. His Excellency the Austrian Ambassador called at the Legation during the morning, and was closeted for some time with M. Van de Weyer. As the gentlemen commissioned to attend the Duke de Montpensier and the Duchess de Nemours to town did. not leave London until five o'clock last evening, it was not expected their Royal Highnesses would arrive in. town last night, but apartments were prepared for their reception at the reside/Ice of the Belgian Legation in. the event of their doing so. With respect to the fate of Louis Philippe and his Queen, not a word of authentic information has yet been received. Great hope is, however, entertained, from the length of time which has elapsed since the ex- King was heard of, that he is with the Queen quietly awaiting on the French coast a favourable opportunity of crossing the Channel. Madame Guizot, the venerable mother of the ex. Minister, and his two daughters arrived in London yesterday. It is said, on good authority, that Claremont, the seat of his Majesty he King of the Belgians, has been pre pared for the leption of the ex-Royal Family. Under this head yesterday it was stated that M. Van do Weyer had placed his suburban villa at East Sheen at the disposal of the Duke de Nemours. The villa belongs to Mr. Bates, whose daughter M. Van de Weyer married, and it was Mr. Bates who offered his villa to the illustrious exile. No. 17 , 297 • ] LONDON , THURSDAY J = CKA PUBLICA TIONS. Third Edition, 3 vols. post Rye., cloth, 31s. 6d.

Marriage refitures the fidfilment of several conditions. In order that It may be really the cane° of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and Its true source in every insttace disclosed, in how many coald Übe traced to physical disctecuifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which whet used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, whey abased, the prolific source of mischief and if greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses. on .he nature and conseouenee of which this Treatise professes to dilate, aro productive of greater severity of misery to the Minim frame, than any ether, to which it is subject. This work centains as accurate and complete acemint of the Anatemy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, ant of their relative conditions ix health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attentien and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation if the health, and if the physioal capabilities of which every ram should be possessed. It unfertunately happeas that the unhappy victim of exeessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired In early life or front the follies of advaneed age, while mitering from their invariable coasequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneous' entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach if art, alike restrict hint and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of ilsease, sympathy with the sufferer, aid, above all, secrecy, lava riably characterise the intelligent mid practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by 101 l posseesioa of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his prefee siional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'At Eta has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of hie practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experienee, which has refrrence almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

EASTERN ARCHIPELAGO COMPANY. Instituted for the Extension of Commerce in the China Seas raid for Promoting the Civilization of Borneo, &c. Incorporated by Royal Charter. Capital, 200,0001., in 2,00 a Shares of 100/. each. DIRECTORS. JOHN MACGREGOR, Esq., Chairman. Captain C. It. Drinkwater Bethune, R.N., CAI. Alexander Nairne, Esq., Director of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. Hugh Hamilton Lindsay, Esq. Sir John Pirle, Bart., Deputy-Chairman of the Penin sular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. henry Wise, Esq. Ilatiszas--Messrs, Glyn, llalltfax, Mills, and Co., London. The objects of this Company are to carry oa mining, agricultural, and trailing operations in the Eastern Archipelago, and the acquiring and disposing of lands In the Island of Labaiin and the parts adjacent —a region abounding in mineral wealth, most fertile in all the valu able tropical priductions, and ♦ery happily situate for the purposes of commerce. The Island of Labuan has been formally taken possession of by the Crown of Great Britain ; and, by a treaty with the Suttee of Borneo, many highly important advantages are permanently secured to this country. Piracy in the eastern seas will now be effectually suppressed, and, under the protection of the British flag at Labium a new era as regards those regions, has commenced, which affords the most fa vourable opportunity for successfully accomplishing the objects of this Company. To those who arc at all acquainted with the Indian ArcWpelago, it is wholly unnecessary to expatiate on the Advantages to be derived from this undertaking. The important ellscoVery of an Abundant sup ply of excellent coal on the mainland of Borneo, in the immediate vi cinity of Labuan, is a circumstance which of itself would resider this enterprise pregnant with the most beneficial results. A formal grant of this coal, extending through a district of about 150 miles, has been obtained from the Sultan of Borneo, and is, With the approval of her Majesty's Geverninent, now held by Mr. Wise, with whom arrange ments for its working will be made. The working of the coal mines will form an important feature in the operations of the Company, The geographical position of the Borneo coal districts in relation to our Eastern possessions, avid to the steam communications wields are now carried on, and others which arc about to be carried on in con nexion therewith, is a matter of peculiar interest, and-esen of na tional importance. The Peninsular and Oriental Steens...Navigation Coinpiul instance, disburse Stars ainsts 1 - !>;51004. trausally for 4 ' - ei,al for their steam-vessels, of which stun about 90,0001. are ex pended in coal used to the eastward of the Cape of Good Hope. This coal. as well as the requisite supplies for the steam-vessels of her Majesty's navy, and for those of the Honourable East India Com pany on the India and China stations, is at present chiefly furnished from England, at an average cost exceeding 335. per ton ; so that the expenditure by her Majesty's Government, the Honourable East In dia Company, and the Peninsular and Oriental Company for the sin gle item of coal, will be considerably reduced as soon as the opera tions of the Eastern Archipelago Company are sufficiently matured to admit of their supplying the several depots which have been esta blished at Hong-Kong, Singapore, and other places, with coal for the use of the matay.British and Foreign sto, - in-vessels re-orting to those ports. The certain increase in the consumption of coal in the eastern seas, from the causes already mentioned, and the opening of other channels of demand, cannot fail eventually to augment the use of Borneo coal. The projected steam communication between Singapore and our Australian colonies—the probable communication by the same means at no distant period, between the various British settle ments to the eastward of the Cape of Good Hope and the west coast of .Ametica—as well as the system of railways now about to be esta blished in India—are events eminently calculated to occasion an immense consumption of Borneo coal, the more se as it can be sup plied at comparatively moderate rates. Samples of the Labuan and Borneo coal have been brought over to this country by Mr. Wise, and submitted by her Majesty's Government to a careful examination and analysis by competent parties, with a most satisfactory result. The Borneo coal has also been pronounced by the Calcutta easel Committee, appointed by the Bengal Government, to be equal to the best English coal ; and Captain Wallage, in his report on the supplies of coal obtained from the seain at Labuan, for the use of the Honourable East India Company's steam-ship - Nemesis, dated Sarawak, 10th June, 1847, observes—' I have no hesitation in stating that the coal received at Labuan is equel to any English coal I have seen on board steamers in India, and decidedly better than any coal worked in India for steam purposes." The portion of territory contemplated for the first operations of the Eastern Archipelago Company possesses a climate aid soil admir ably adapted for the culture of cotton, tobacco, sugar, coffee, rice, nutmegs, pepper, and other valuable productions, and is most favourably situate, having the advantage of Labuan, now subject to British dominion, as a point d'appui ; nor can there be a doubt of the excellent position of the proposed field of enterprise for an ex tensive and lucrative commerce. The proximity of Java, Sumatra, Siam, Cochin-China, Hainan, Manilla, Celebes, &c., is not only of great importance in this respect, but also as affording the means of introducing with facility from those places Chinese and other cold 'lists, and labourers to any extent required for the service of the Company. Labuan itself will form an essential link in the chain of our eastern settlements, front Penang, Malacca, and Singapore to Hong Kong ; and in the district of Sarawak every protection and eacouragement will be granted by Mr. Brooke in furtherance of the Company's objects. In short, every circumstance justifies the anti cipation that the late proceedings of the British Government reletisg to Borneo, if followed up with vigour by the operations of the pre scut Company, will ehange that which has been heretofore a region of piracy, lawless violence, danger and desolation, tato a scene of busy, peaceful, and beneficial commerce; bringing the advantages of progressive civilisation to a large and fertile tract of the globe, and conferring extensive benefits on the commerce and manufactures of Great Britain. The philanthropist and the statesman, as well ai the merchant, will thus feel interested in this design, which, through the medium of British enterprise, sanctioned and protected by the wis dont and decision of the Government, promises the amelioration of the condition of the natives of the Indian Archipelago, among whom there exists a disposition most favourable to the development of the resources of those countries. The ♦iew here taken of the promising character of the underink ing is not hypothetical, but is the result of the arduous personal re searches of various individuals, wko, in times past, have been de sirous of widening the circle of commerce and civilization, and, among others more recently, of Mr. Wise, who has for several years devoted his time to the closest investigation of the subject. To his patient and indefatigable perseverance for a long period in calling the attention of her Majesty's Government to the Importance of Bahian as the site of a British settlement, may be ascribed the fact, that the protection of our flag is now extended to countries so important both in a political and commercial point of view. The Queen has appointed Mr. Brooke Governor and C. mmandcr in-Chief in and over the Island of Batman and its dependencies, as we' I as her Majesty's Commissioner and Consul-General to the Sultan and independent chiefs of Borneo. These measures, 1014 the course of poli-y which they indicate, will materially faci litato and advance the objects and interests of the Company throughout the Eastern Ar chipelago. The Company being incorporated by Royal Charter, the responsi bility of each shareholder is limited to the amount of his subscrip tion. The charter provides for the execution by the shareholders of a Deed of Settlement, to be approved by the President of the Board of Trade. rower is giTen In the Charter to augment the amount of capital of the Corporation, if that course should become expedient. bl. per share to be paid on the allotment of the shares, and the re mainder to be paid by instalments as called for by the Directors.

Diffidence, or a sense et right determine the _former, aid miscalculated hopes cat ,,itter the latter. The solitary due may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un compresing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity, And broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice denuad that health should form as item in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

FALLING OF A RAILWAY BRIDGE.—On Friday afternoon a bridge erected on the lino of the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Railway, at Earley, about two miles from Reading, fell entirely in. At the time of the occurrence a long train of waggons laden with earth was descending an inclined plane, when, on arriving at the bridge, all the foremost passed over safely, without any danger being apprehended, but on the last wag gon crossing, being more heavily laden, the bridge gave way, and, along with the fall of the waggon and its contents, produced a most frightful crash. The hind waggon became disengaged from the others by the breaking of the connecting chains, or the whole train of waggons must have been pulled in. The mass of earth and other material was scattered in all directions, and the waggon much shattered ; fortunately, no persons were passing along the road at the time. A partial stoppage of the works, causing a number of hands to be thrown out of employment, has taken place in conse• quence. The bridge had but recently been constructed, and. it is supposed that the heavy gale of wind and rain during the previous day, with the ponderous weight of earth running over it, probably weakened it. PROVIDENTIAL PRESERVATION OF LIFE LAST NIGHT.—About ten o'clock last night it was acciden tally discovered that an embankment between the Euxton and Coppul stations, on the North Union line, about eight miles from Preston, had given way. Before eleven o'clock ono and of the wooden bridge had sunk considerably, and the embankment adjoining suddenly fell in to the depth of about twenty feet, carrying with it both lines of rail, and leaving a frightful chasm, into which the express train from London, then coming up, would, but for this discovery, have inevitably been driven. The loss of life and demolition of property might thus have been awful. Immediately on receiving intelligence of the circumstance, a special train was dispatched from Preston to bring the passengers at - . luggage onwards. The traffic on the line must necessa rily be impeded for some days by this mishap.—Pr eston Guardian of Wednesday. CHRIST'S TioSPITAL.—The annual public suppers at this institution will commence on Sunday next and terminate on Easter day, occupying a period, as usual, of eight Sundays. HER MAJESTY'S LEVEE.

An useful and interesting brochure (published in Paris), entitled " Biographie des Diputis (de France), precedee d'une Histoire de la Legislature de 1842 a 1846," and compiled by two " jour nalists," and which forms a sort of French " Par liamentary Pocket Companion," enables us to lay before our readers the following particulars of the political positions respectively occupied by the mem bers of the new French Provisional Government which has succeeded the fallen dynasty of the Bour bons. It must be observed that the " journalists" are both of them ardent Republicans. M. Dupont (de L'Eure), the new President of the Council (deputy for Evreux), is highly esteemed for his virtues by the French people. At the elections of 1842, M. Dupont, indignant at seeing the Deputies of the Eure servilely voting in favour of the execrated Guizot Ministry, contested four colleges of that de• partment simultaneously; he was elected in all four, and chose Evreux. The votes of M. Dupont need not be pointed out; he invariably voted against the corrupt and dishonest Administration which has fallen with the King, its protector. M. Cremieux, the Provisional Minister of Justice (deputy for Chinon), was a formidable opponent of the late Ministry. lie exposed all its vices and its weaknesses. He demanded, on the discussion of the game law (orig:nattd in thq Peets), the suppression of the article which exempts the Crown Lando from the severe provisions of that enactment; but, although successful in the Deputies, the Upper Chamber restored the obnoxious clause. M. Cremieux's Par- liamentary career has been one of the most important and honourable; and, in short, he was a leadiug member of the Opposition. M. Arago is one of the first savans in France, and his reputation as an orator is sc arc e ly l ess brilliant. lie was born in 1786, and is perpetual secretary of the Academy of Sciences, member of the office of longitudes, and the most illustrious scientific man of the age. In politics, M. Arago is an excellent patriot, a sworn enemy of privileges and monopoly, and an ardent defender of the rights of the people. He voted against the Pritchard indem nity bill, and has ever supported all the measures of the Gauche, although he goes much further, and be longs to the extreme Gauche. He is now provisional Minister of Marine. M. de Lamartine, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, is as famous in the republic of letters as his colleague, M. Arago, in the department of science. He repre sents Macon, and his political opinions have been freely and copiously expressed in his newspaper, Le Bien Public, published in that town. He is every where a poet, even at the tribune. Like all poets, however, he is rather fickle and inconstant, but the elevation of his soul secures him against the greatest dangers of versatility. M. de Lamartine for a length of time occupied a very undecided position in the Chamber, but he eventually ranged himself on the side of the Opposition. The day on which he an nounced his intention of joining the camp of the Gauche was as gloomy an one for the Ministry as the memorable desertion of the Treasury bench of the English House of Commons by the great Burke. From that period M. de Lamartine took a decided part in favour of progressive reform, and ridiculed the Guizot Cabinet as the Ministry of " limitations." He voted against the Pritchard indemnity, and was prized by the Opposition as an invaluable acquisition. M. Ledru Rollin, the provisional Minister of the Interior, was elected for Mans vice the late M. Gar nier Pages. his speech to the electors subjected him to a prosecution on the part of the Government, and the trial of the case produced a great sensation. M. Rollin represents the ultra-Radical interest ; and has often attacked not only M. Guizot, but also the policy of such men as Thiers and Odilon Barrot. He sits on the extreme Left, and has defended at the tribune, with vigour and talent, the opinions advocated by La Reforme newspaper. M. Carnot, the new Minister of Public Instruction (including the administration of religious affairs), was born in 1801, and is a son of the famous convention alist of that name. He is a devoted partisan of democratic ideas, and belongs to the extreme Left. He voted against the Pritchard indemnity bill, an d fer M. Remusat's project of parliamentary reform ; "he would," say the authors of the work, writing in 1846, " support a large and complete reform which would have the effect of restoring sincerity to the Government, and all their rights to the citizens." The other members of the Provisional Government are not includes in the list of Deputies. The announcement of the poem of " King Arthur," by the author of " The New Timon," has lately been the subject of frequent conversation. The author of " The New Timon," undoubtedly, possesses an imagination of a very high order, and it has been generally admitted in literary circles that a new legendary epic from his pen, combining the best qualities of the verse of the 19th century with that of the middle ages, would be likely to be attended with much success. Every persons of taste feels interested in the experiment, although the name of the author has not been suffered to transpire. THE COPPER DUTIRS.—BIRMINGHAM, FED. 2t In accordance with a requisition from Alderman Smith, a meeting of the manufacturers of Birmingham, con sumers of copper, was held in the committee-room of the Town-hall yesterday, to consider the propriety of taking steps to obtain a reduction of the duties on cop per. There was a numerous attendance, amongst whom were Ma. Charles Geach, the Mayor ' • Aldermen Smith and Martineau ; Council l o r Clifford ; Messrs. W. C. Alston, T. P e mberton, David Malins, Brooke Smith, T. C. Salt, J. Cartland, S. Whitfield, Blews, S. Tonks, J. Deacon, James Collins, J. Pumphrey, W. Barwell, R. lleaton, and many other gentlemen connected with the trade. Mr. W. R. Lloyd and Mr. Fleetwood, connected with the smelting interest, were also present.. The Mayer, having been called to the chair, addressed the meeting in a long s;eech, in which he declared the in justice of the present duties, and concluded by moving a resolution in accordance with the general tenour of his speech. This resolution was adopted unanimously, and the meeting separated. DEATH OF BEETHOVEN'S BROTHER.--A brother of this great German composer died a few days since at Vienna, Ho had commenced business as a chemist, but afterwards became a Government contractor, sad en riched himself by some fortunate speculations, particu larly in contracts for the supply of fire-arms for the service of the Imperial Government. He latterly kept his coach and four. His brother died in great distress ; but, then, one was a lucky speculgtor—the other only " a Dan of genius."
