_RORNING EDITION. AUSTRALIAN EMIGRATION. T a numerous and highly respectable the MEETING of persons interested in the"p ros p er ity of GREAT COLONY of NEW SOUTH WALES, held at the Georg e and V u lt ure T aver n, i n t h e C ity o f L on d on , on Monday, the sth day of Aped; 1841, convened for the purpose Ito considering the " CONDITIONS" recently promulgated 3,2hlColonial Land an d E m i grat i on C omm i ss i oners , touch .g the future conduct of Bounty Emigration, and to decide on ose measures necessary in order to obtain their annulment, and thereby avert the alarming injury they are calculated to produce as re',pects the future supply of labour to New Soritt, ales ,q t it -./..ES BARRY BALDWIN, Esq.,Chair, wa g•moved by STUART DONALDSON, Esq., seconded by Cnaneas LEE, Esq., and e , Resolved unanimously, hat the lat es t accounts from New South WaleS represent 0 demand for labour in that colony to be more pressing Sand v rgent than at any former period ; wages had risen enormously, and wore expected to be still higher; the flock owners we ee tunable to o b ta i n shepherds at al l approx i mat i ng to the -„umber absolutely necessary for the i r proper care ; gree,',, apex-ellen 41on s were e n t erta i ne d t h at muc h o f th e fort; ,coming harvest, 4,w_hielli promised to be very abundant, would perish in the fields onr_,vant of a sufficient supply of '..f.tlntlr In reap and store it ; q a all the great interests of the colony were very seriously 7otenegered frorr, the alarreeng deficiency of labour. A Corn ift_tt of the Legislative Council,of which the Bishop of Austra lia was Cha• rman, in their Report to the Council in September an'ascit no , ' that "Every department of industry is cramped; . no undertaking, public or private, tarilorrosoluted .pt at an immerse expense, osying to the 'exorbitant rate of ass and the i nconceiva bl e difficulty in pro Curing workmen, 'ants, or mechanics, upon any terms whatweer ; there is no mart of the colony in which it may not be tril l ed that there s an n , actual dearth o f h an d s t o carry on the' * ary business. the i nstance of sheep farming, the distress arising from want ° shephe r d s i s almost incredible. Thus a very fatal check is tut upon the adverts:is:4 prosperity of the Colony." " was moved by tnomas IcELEY, Esq., of New South Wales, seconded by AtEXANDER SMITH, Esq., of Liverpool, and Resolved 'unanimously, That in the. opinion of this meeting it is in the highest de \• teve _ tv . Imp ortant that the supply of labour from these kingdoms s oath Wales should be encouraged and promoted by all •I t ' le ra e ct lea'ie means, and that every possible facility and encourage 'eimsistent with the existing law of the land, should be , of u t ,ri ed to all persons engaged in supplying it. In a Report Committee of the Legislative Council of New South they state "that to permit immigration t o b e suspen d e d Or dleeked in its extent, would be to seal the death-warrant foolonial prosperity, and to expose to certain ruin the nu 3otecous flourishing and extending interests which have been ated in the Colony," ;and it may also be truly affirmed that any okeek in the supply of labour to New South Wales is also cal 14lated, by reflection, to be highly injurious to the best inte rests of the Mother Country." e It was moved by EDWAR DIVETT, 'E, RP., seconded Joitre GILCHRIST, Esq. D , of Gla;;gow, a N nd Resolved unanimously, g i .,: t rt this Meeting . consiilers the Bounty system of Erni- Ols nhich was originated arid established in the Coly, P y i o 7e Colonial authoritim, under the administration of on Sir , t a i a 4•ll. Bourke, to have been a most valuable means of ob vas,lllß the necessary supply of Labour, and to have conferred 2 p i. benefit on the Colony. lt is estimated that upwards of lb' A: 1 0 persons emigrated to New South Wales last year under . e operatio n o f t h e B ounty sys t em , an d i n t h e presen t year , ( . ', 8 41) the re i s reason to b e li eve t h a t a vas tl y i nerease d supp l y ',ill be furnished under this invaluable system, if left, as here tofore,_ to the en erg y o f th ose engage d i n sen di ng it ou t, unshackled b y t h e i mposit i on o f unnecessary and o b struct i ve oconditiolis in their estimate of the great val u e of th e e_ u e tiippss nty system, this Meeting has the entire concurrence of Sir Georg e who, in a despatch to the Secretary of State In t r the Colonies, presented to, and printed by order of Parlia ent, s ays f , tlie Bounty system, however, Emigrati has been found so "r superior to that of * Government on, both as to the desc r ipti on o f p ersons su p p li e d b y i t, an d t h e cost 61- their passage, that it appears to me very. doubtful _Wheth er any other should be persevered in ;" and in another despatch the Governor, speaking of the Report which had then t.ceaitly been presented by the Committee on Emigraon himself:i the Qolony to the Legislative Council, thus expresses in no way able t o di s p u t e th e correctness o f t h e con , '!lnsiriins of the Committee, i n respect to t h e super i or i ty o f t h e ROunty system over that which is carried on by the immediate 'agency of Government. The Bounty system is found to be 41. liter head, or about 21 per cent. cheaper than the Government 'system, reckoning men, women, and children all alike, and making no difference,: for the quality of the emigrants ; but if this difference be taken into consideration, and especially the !mailer proporti on of children introduced by the Bounty sys tem, the advantage o f t h at system must he est i mated consi derably higb'er, and I am inclined to think with the Ccmmit bees that '2OO Government emigrants cost as much as 30Q e ? uW.I, 'ones of equal value to the Colony." Thi s , it s h ou ld b e ''''tetietly borne in mind, is the voluntary testimony of the Go or of the Colony, in his official communications to the e , °l stretary _of, State. As respects that most i m po r t an t cons ie veration—the comparative state of health on board Govern rien_ent and Bounty ships conveying passengers to N ew So u th wales, it was st a t e d i n ev id ence b e f ore th e C omm itt ee o f th e Legislative Council at Sydney in 1839, that the re l a ti ve l oss o f life en the voyage was as follows, viz. : Government Bounty Ships. Ships. Of the aggregate number on board lin 16 ... lin 34 Ditto of Adults ... lin 45 . lin 99 D i tto • of Children In ale Report of the Committee of 1840, on Immigration, Preseeited to the Legislative Council, of which the Bishop of A ustralia was the Chairman, the Committee state—" In pri- I :tte ships,under the Bounty system, there were embarked 884 Adults, viz., 423 Males and 461 Females, and 170 Children— oighty male and ninety female. The register of deaths among • 'them has not been preserved, as will be found stated in the evidence. As, however, no ships of this class have been placed In quarantine during the past season, it is reasonable to believe, and it is, indeed, a matter of general notoriety, that the immi grants by Bounty ships have arrived invariably in a state of good • oealth,:and that the casualties at sea have been exceedingly few." It was moved by JAMES Jolter CUMBIIN9, Esq., seconded by NEIL CAMPBELL, Esq., and Resolved unanimously, That thus proved beyond 01 question, as the superiority of the Bounty system has been, as a medirm for supplying labour to the Colony, it is a duty of the most urgent obligation on the Partof the Government of this country, to encourage and pro '.4_,__ote that system by a ff or ding every possible facility and free ' vvm from all unnecessary interference with those engaged in l P• rr iYing„it on, consistent with the provisions of the existingw ofyth land, and the stringent regulations in force in New L o th Wales, as respects all persons introduced into the • Colony under the Bounty system. It was moved by WILLIAM BROWN, Esq., seconded by ROBERT BROOKS, Esq., and Resolved unanimously, That this Meeting has learnt with great alarm, that, acting Maier the represen'ations ;rude to him by the Colonial Land *ad Emigration Commissioners, the Secretary of State for the Colonies has permitted them to interfere seriously, and most injuriously, with those engaged in conducting Bounty emigre . ttion in virtue of authority from the Colonial Government, and 'under strictly-defined conditions and regulations on the part of that Government; that the Commissioners have actually issued certain " conditions" of a most oppressive, and, as this Meeting entirely believes, wholly uncalled for nature; which 4 ` conditions" are a direct infraction of the contracts entered into by the Colonial Government with persons resident in the Colony, the effect of which, if persevered in, will, this Meeting has reason to believe, be the immediate and large diminution of the supply of labour under the Bounty system, and its even tual and early abandonment by those engaged in it. Moved by JOHN LAMBERT, Esq., seconded by .HENRY FLOWER, Esq., and Resolved unanimously, That these consequences, so pregnant with cause for alarm, and so greatly to be deprecated, will have a powerful tendency to diminish, if not almost entirely to stop, the sale of land in the Colony ; the source,whence the means of furnishing the 'requisite supply of labour is derived, inasmuch as in the event of the flock owners being compelled to diminish their flocks, from the impossibility of obtaining shepherds and labourers, they cannot require any increase of pasture, nor will fresh capital be invested by others in the production of the grea• 'staple of the Colony : thus the means of defraying the cost of 7 T,onveying out emigrants will be seriously endangered. -nroved by .WILLIAM WALKER, Esq., seconded by GEORGE . . HAY DoxaausoN, Esq., and - Resolved unanimously, That this Meeting is. desirous that all practicable security and comfort should be afforded to all persons emigrating under the Colonial Bounties ; and is of opinion that the all-sufficient provisions of the Passengers Act, and the stringent regulations, rigidly enforced as they are, by the Colonial Government, as respects the introduction of labour under its authority (with out full and literal compliance with which the parties intro ducing it cannot obtain payment of the bounties), afford ample protection and security to all persons proceeding to New * onth Wales at the Colonial cost ; and this Meeting is fully on, rue out in this view by the results of recorded investigations In the Colony by Commie tees of the Legislative Council, acting under the appointment of the Governor. Moved by J. GORE, Esq., seconded by H. BUCKLE, Esq., and Resolved unanimously, That the following Gentlemen (of whom five shall be a quo 'tum), viz., Stuart Donaldson, Esq., Thomas Iceley, Esq., Ed- Ward Divett, Esq., M.P., John S. Brownrigg, Esq. M.P.' Charles Barry Baldwin, Esq., M.P., Thomas Walker, Esq., 'William Brown, Esq., Francis Mowatt, Esq., William Walker, Esq., Robert Brooks, Esq., Arthur Willis, Esq., James John Cummins, Esq., Henry Buckle, Esq., George Fife A ngas,'Esq. , 'Sohn L.

'loved by ARTHUR WILLI 3, Esq., seconded by CHARLES GORE, Esq., and Resolved unanimously, That should the Committee,contrary to the earnest hope and expectation of this Meeting, fail in inducing 'the Secretary of State to order the annulment of the " conditions," dated `-'.sth March, 1841, promulgated by the Land and Emigration Commissioners, a Petition be, without delay, prepared, signed, a,,nd presented to the House of Commons, praying that nonourable House to appoint a Committee to investigate the statements made to the Colonial Department by the Land and Emigration Commissioners, respecting Bounty emigration, and which were presented to the House of Commons on the 2 6th of February last, and printed by its order, and generally t ° inquire into and report thereon, and on the best means forfurnishing the requisite supply of labour to New South Wales ; and that until such Committee shall be appointed, their report presented, and the measures consequent thereupon shall have been definitively decided upon, Lord John Russell be r espectfully, and very earnestly solicited to direct that the recent " conditions" promulgated ley the Land and Emigra tion Commissioners, touching Bounty emigration, be entirely suspended. 'oved by EDWARD DIVETT, Esq., and seconded by ARTHUR Wier's, Esq., and Resolved unanimously, That the warmest thanks of this Meeting, as well as of all Person s feeling an interest in the great Colony of New rjluth Wales, and in the Nell-being and comf or t o f th e l abourin g . population of the mother country, are justly clue to JOHN NIARSHALL, Esq., for the eminent services he has rendered in sending out a large and steady supply of efficient l abour, under the Bounty system. 'loved by DAVID FORBES, Esq., seconded by HENRY GOLWIN, Esq., and Resolved unanimously, t . That th e C omm itt ee b e authorised to publish these Resolu. e n s in the Times, Morning Herald, Morning Ch ronicle, St andard, The Sun, and Globe, and in such other publication s -8 they übli may deem proper, with the view of giving th e most t x terlde d city to them. oved by JoUN MARSHALL, Esq., seconded by WILLIAM Baows, Esq., and Carried by acclamation, 13 +hat the best thanks of this Meeting are due to Charles a : l 7 Baldwi n , Esq., M.

NORRIS'S DROPS are a certain w remedy for Fevers, Colds, Influenza, and all Diseases that arise from obstructed perspiration. The Medicine here recom mended to the Practitioner and the Public is composed of articles known to be the most anti-putrescent, combined with the ingredient known to the profession, as the only certain antidote for Fevers of every description. When the disease is produced either from cold, obstruction, bad air, swampy and damp situati , ns, or putrid miasma, whether malignant or epidemic, or by other causes, this medicine is certain in its operation and effects, it produces the most gentle and salutary perspiration, and by a specific quality, peculiar to itself, not only expels the disease, but restores and invigorates the system. These celebrated Drops have had the unbiassed testimonies to their +nvariable effects, of numbers of the nobility, gentry, and medical men of this Kingdom, and the extensive demand for them from the West Indies, and America prove that in those countlies they arc held in equal estimation.

ANOTHER PROOF of the EFFICACY of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS. To Mr. PROUT, t.lkl), Strand, London. SIR, Maidstone, No 2, Wheeler-street, July 8,18 W. I am most happy to infornmou that the BLAIR'S PILLS, which I had from you, have been of the greatest service tome. When I re ceived the first box, 1 was labouring under one of those attacks to which I had been subj_ct for eleven years. My legs and thighs were most grievously tormented, every nerve and muscle beating and throbbing as thou t .h they would tear themselves through the flesh, thus preventing my having any rest or sleep. The agony which I experienced in this instance, night and day, tor six weeks, is not in my power to describe. This was my miserable state when the first box of Blair's Pills arrived; but after taking four pills the pain de creased, and the second day, by taking six pills more, the pain sub. sided altogether, so that I felt, if I may make the comparison, as though I was in Heaven. Being subject to this affliction by the change of weather, I now fly to the pills, and always find relief. You are at liberty to publish this case of mine for the benefit of the public. I am, Sir, yours respectfully, MARY ANN CHAMBERS. The afflicted with those tormenting diseases, Gout, Rheumatic Gc - 4, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sciatica, Pains in the Head and Face, oftenmistaken for the Tooth - ache , Tic_Doloreux, &c., will find from the use of this medicine, that speedy relief for which it is so justly Celebrated. And while its efficacy is unparalleled for the foregoing diseases, it must be consolatory to the afflicted with Gout, to be as sured that it possesses the property of preventing the disease flying to hebrain, stomach. or other vital parts.

INFIRMARY FOR THE CURE OF DISEASES OF THE RECTUM, CHARTER HOUSE-SQUARE. Yesterday the Anniversary Meeting of the supporters of this most invaluable Institution was held at the Lon don Tavern. The Rev. Dr. RUSSELL, the Rector of Bishopsgate, in the Chair. Mr. OGDEN, the Secretary, read the Report of the Committee of Management, which stated that the In stitution was in a state of progressive improvement, and the benefits which it conferred on suffering humanity were very great. No less than 1,351 poor persons were restored to health and happiness, and by whose industry theirfamilies were preserve lfromdestitutior. Italso stated that itsfunds had been greatly increased,not only by sub rcriptionslbut also by a legacy of 1,0001. from a Mr. Rich ardson ; and independent of 1,424/. in the Three-and a Half per Cents., there was a balance of 230/. in the Treasurer's hands. Dr. WING then rose to propose a vote of thanks to the Committee of Management, as well as that the Re port which had been read should be printed, and said that the Report had spoken volumes, and he trusted it afforded abundant evidence of the services of the gentlemen composing the Committee. The success of the Institution was most gratifying , cons i dering the .op position it had met.with when it originally started, and from a quarter from whence it was least likely to be: expected—the medical profession.—( Hear, hear.) Bat he was happy to say that that prejudice was eva porating like the mildew, by the vivifying rays of expe rience and public benevolence.—(Cheers.) And it was now receiving the warm support of many of the faculty. —(Hear, hear.) When once the public mind w's awakened to its benevolent utility, he had no doubt but that its merits would be duly appreciated.

When the rich and the opulent were, in spite of their wealth, and ail the aid which it could command, enduring tee greatest sufferings, how much greater must the sufferings of the poor be who had not the means of al leviation except through the establishment of such an in • stitution by the Christian like benevolence of a generous public.—(Cheers.)

JOIN BRIGGS, Esq., in proposing the resolution for the re-election of the same members, for the Committee, passed a high eulogium on the services rendered by Frederick Salmon, and observed that the institution relieved as great an amount of hu man suffering as any other in this great me tropolis. The Hospitals only received those cases which were incidental to human nature, but the Char terhouse-square Infirmary relieved a class of cases of the most delicate character, and which had hitherto been but imperfectly known until the talents and per severance of Mr. SAniou developed their existence, and at the same time their cure.--(Cheers.) He, there fore, hoped every exertion would be made to enlarge its sphere for the relief of human suffering, and the re ward would be the benedictions of the destitute and friendless.—(Cheers.)

PAUPERISM IN SCOTLAND. An admirable Report has just been published, drawn up by a member of the Committee (David Milne, Esq., Advocate), appointed in April last year at a general meeting hell in Edinburgh of landed proprietors con nected with different parts of Scotland, called in conse quence of the establishment of an Association for ob taining an official inquiry into the state of pauperism in Scotland. The appearance of Dr. Alison's pamphlet relative to the prevalence of disease and destitution among the poor in our large towns, and the proposal which it recommended of introducing the English system into Scotland, had the effect of awakening a lively interest the subject. No party cal el in goes- ' Lion the general facts adduced by Dr. Alison, far less did any body dispute the benevolent intentions of that distinguished philanthropist. But there cer tainly did prevail a difference of opinion as to the propriety of following out Dr. Alison's views to the full extent, and of eetirely changing the system of pauper relief in Scotland, merely because in two or three large towns the amount of poverty and its con comitants, disease and distress, exceeded the statutory and ordinary means of remedy. Whilst some con tended for the adoption of Dr. Alison's proposal, and advised, as a preliminary step, that a Government Com mission should be appointed to make inquiry into the state of pauperism in Scotland ; there were others, who were decidedly opposed to the substitution of the Eng lish for the Scotch system, and who were persuaded that no Government Commission was receasary, be lieving that the means of inquiry already existing in Scotland were sufficient. The advocates for official in quiry, and a change of system, formed themselves into an Association, whose principal objects were to circulate Dr. Alison's work, and to petition the Government to appoint a Commission to investi gate the state of pauperism, and the whale manage ment of the Poor in Scotland. To avert this dan gerous innovation upon our Poor-law, and at the same time to procure all possible information upon the sub ject, the Committee whose able Report is now before us organised themselves, and held various meetings, at which resolutions were passed explanatory of the ob jects they had in view. These objects in the first in stance were for the purpose of bringing the matter under the consideration of county meetings, the Ma gistretes of royal burghs, and the Moderators of Pres byteries, in order to elicit information as to the work ing and adequacy of the means provided for the neces sary relief of the poor. The result of these arrange ments is contained in the Report just published, from which it appears that a great number of Counties and Presbyteries are opposed to the projected innovations upon our management of pauperism. We now subjoin a few extracts from the Report : The Committee proceed now to state, what has been done in diffsrent parts of Scotland, by the " natural guardians of the poor," in accordance with the sugges tions in the resolutions transmitted by them as above mentioned. In the following counties, at the general meeting of Justices of the Peace and Commissioners of Supply, held on the 30th April last, the subject brought under their attention by the resolutions was fully considered, and certain resolutions adopted :—Aberdeen, Argyll, Ayr, Berwick, Caithness, Clackmannan, Fife, fladding ton, Inverness, Kincardine, Linlithgow, Mid-Lothian, Morayshire, Nairne, Peebles, Perth, Ross, Roxburgh, Selkirk, and Stirling,.. There probably are other counties in which the sub ject has been considered and resolutions passed, from which this Committee has as yet received no eamenuni• cation. Tracy are aware of only two or three counties in which it was thought unnecessary to eater on rcccrd any formal expression of opinion. On the whole, the Committee may state, Ist, That in none of the counties or towns in Scotland have the constituted authorities expressed their approval of the proposed changes on the Scotch system of Poor-laws, or of the proposed inquiry into the state of the poor in Scotland by a Government Commission ; 2d, That out of the thirty-two counties in Scotland, there are twenty in which tee Committee has ascertained that these pro posed objects of the Edinburgh Association were cen sidered, and made the subject of resolutions strongly disapproving of these objects ; 3d, That, to show their readiness and anxiety to inquire into the existence of the defects and abuses alleged in the administration of the Poor-laws, at least fourteen counties have (to the knowledge of the Committee) already appointed Com mittees to ascertain the condition of the poor, and draw up a report containing full information on the subject. The Committee, in reference to the mode of in quiry adopted in the countie., would particularly refer to that followed in Berwickshire, Flfe.shire, and Had dingtonshire, as examples werthy of imitation, In these counties, schedules have been printed, with the view of ascertaining not merely the number and condi tion of the poor, but also of eliciting the moral effects of the existing system, and not on the poor alone, but on other classes also. Their inquiries invite suggestions for the improvement of the existing laws, or the admi nistration of them, if such should occur to any indivi dual acquainted with the condition of the poor, whether in the towns or rural parishes of these counties. The Committee cannot doubt, from the zealous and able manner in which the investigations are there carried on, that a very large and valuable mass of information will be obtained. They beg to add the expression of their earnest hope that the other counties of Scotland may follow the ex ample of energy shown by the counties just mentionci. The method of inquiry pointed out in their schedules is extremely easy, and attended with little expense ; and it is most desirable, whatever may be the result of in quiry, or whatever opinions may be entertained as to its necessity, that a full and searching inquiry should every where be instituted. The Committee consider that they have stated enough to show, that the Scotch counties generally arc not in sensible to the importance of the subject, and are ready to inquire into the condition of the poor, and the mode in which the Poor-laws operate for their relief'. They farther have to state it as their opinion, that, when those counties, which have not yet begun their ioquiries,learn, through this Report, or otherways, the energetic way in which others are acting in this respect, they may be in duced to follow the example ; for it is believed that the circumstance which has operated most strongly in delayieg hAuiry, is uncertainty as to the best way of investigating the subject. Several counties have applied to the Committee for suggestions, and copies of the ne cessary schedules. In such cases as these, the Committee have no doubt that, if they were authorised to send such schedules, which could be easily framed from those cir culated in the counties of Fife, Berwick, and Haddiug ton, there would be inquiries of the same satisfactory chaiacter as in these counties carried on in almost every part of ScotlanO. The Committee will next advert briefly to what they have learnt of the opinions and inquiries of other public bodies. They understand that in the following Presbyteries, besides many others, the names of which are unknown to the Committee, the object of the Edinburgh Associa tion for a ilovernment inquiry, with a view to an assi milation of the Scotch to the English Poor-laws, has been deliberately considered, and opinions expressed by all disapproving of it :—Aberdeen, Alford, Ayr, Biggar, Chirnside, Cupar, Dumbarton, Dunfermline, Dumfries, DURSO, Edinburgh, Fordoun, Irvine, Kirkwall, Kintyre, Lauder, Mcigle, North Isles, Peebles, Penpont, Weetn, Wigton. It was scarcely to be expected that the Clergy and Kirk-sessions, .who bad only two years ago completed laborious inquiries into the state of the poor and pours' funds in their respective parishes, to enable the General Assembly to make a Report to Government on this very subject, should be willing so soon to renew their investigations, especially on the mere suggestion of a private Committee. It must also be remembered, that Presbyteries have not, like county Magistrates, the means of printing schedules and paying the expense of laborious inquiries. But, nevertheless, almost all the Presbyteries above mentioned, while they declare them selves opposed to any changes in the essential principles of the Scotch system, which they consider admirably adapted to relieve destitution, without drying up the springs of industry ; at the same time express their readiness to inquire into the condition of the poor, both moral and statistical, and have, with that view, appointed Committees of Inquiry. One Presbytery has already sent to this Committee a copy of their Report ; and, in other Presbyteries, a similar inquiry would appear to be now going on, as the Committee have received re turns from the clergymen of parishes in different parts of Scotland. Most of the Committees so appointed have applied to the Edinburgh Committee for the neces ary schedules, which, however, they had not the means of supplying.—Edinburgh Advertiser. The son of a farmer named Packer, seeing that Captain Seymour and some other gentlemen, who were out with her Majest3's hounds last Saturday, were about riding over his father's crops, attempted to stop them, and in doing so a pole which he had in his band at the time came in contact with the Captain's eye. It is said that he purposely struck Captain Seymour, who contemplates legal procceiings against his assailant. RAILWAY FROM ENGLAND TO SCOTLAND. ._The decision of the Commissioners on this subject does not in the slightest degree alter our opinion of the expe diency of a railway from Newcastle to Edinburgh by the coast line, and we hope and believe that the project will still be persisted in. The interest of the North Midland, York and Midland, and Great North of England Railway Companies, is so deeply involved in the measure, that we have no doubt it would receive their cordial and hearty support.— Tyne Pilot.

THE PEOVER MUItDER. Bartholomew Murray, who was found guilty of the murder of Mr. Joseph Cooke and Mary Cooke, his wife, at Oscr Peover, has not yet attained the 19th year of his age. His appearance most strangely belies his act. He appears to have conducted himself ex treniely well in his early employments, and to have ob tained, and, we would fain hope, deserved the good opinion of his superiors. Little is known in England beyond what is given in evidence on his trial. The crime for which he will have to suffer the most igno m'nious punishment of the law was perpetrated with great coolness and decision. No visible evidence ex ists that his band did it. Not one mark or stain of blood has been discovered on his apparel or person, nor any of the property of the unfortunate deceased found in or traced to his possession, excepting the money, which, being in coin, cannot be sworn to. The rapi dity of his movements after the event were such as to baffle the case, had it not been for the wonderful in terposition of a superintending Providence, which, by sonic agency, simple in itself but almost incomprehen sible in its operation, will rarely permit such deeds to pass without detection and punishment. The conduct of Murray, from his first committal to the time of our writing, has been uniformly consistent —that is, he has continued to asseverate his entire in nocence of the crime with which he is charged. In stating this, however, we are bound also to state that a prisoner named Samuel Coates, charged with and found guilty of forgery at the present Assizes, stated that some time since Murray had made a full confcs siert of his guilt to him, detailing also the circumctances under which he committed the murder. The character. of Coates, however, is of that qnestionable nature tlat it was not thought fit that the prosecution should be encumbered with his evidence, but that the case should be laid before the tribunal of justice in its naked as pect as sustained by concurrent circumstances. We think a wise discretion was exercised. Confessions and admissions—particularly when dependent for credit on the veracity of men of criminal lives and habits—are unsatisfactory. In this case, unfortunately for Murray, no such aids were required. The prisoner was most ably defended. No witnesses were called for the defence. In fact none could be. The cost of the defence was defrayed by an uncle of the prisoner, who is a respectable yeoman, residing in the county of Cavan. He attended the trial. The day after the cor.viction he took a last earthly farewell of his criminal nephew. Murray went through the trial with great firmness. When the verdict seas pronounced he was but little moved. He contented himself with merely saying, " Gentlemen, I'm as innocent as a child unborn, and it's not right I should suffer for others." His demeanour when under and after sentence may be denominated ob durate. Since, however, he has been considerably sub dued. He has paid great attention to his religious duties, and is generally found by the clergyman and turnkeys engaged in prayer. The day of execution is not yet fixed.—Chester Paper. STATE OF TRADE. (From the ManCliester Guardian.) MANctigsTEL—The intelligence of the approach ing resumption of commercial intercourse with China, caused a slight improvement, yesterday, in the demand for 40-inch ihirtings, suitable for that market, and some business was done at an advance of about 3d. per piece on previous prices. For every other article, how ever, whether of yam or goods, the market was as de void of animation as it has keen for the last three weeks, and lower prices were, in some cases, submitted to, in order to force sales. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, APRIL 12.—There has been, to-day, an exceedingly dull mar ket. Few buyers attended, and the purchases were limited, and at declining prices. There is no change in the wool market to report. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, APRIL 13.—This being a sort of holday market, there was much bustle but very little business done. Indeed, it is difficult to describe the present position of business. All is doubt and un certainty as to the future ; nnd, consequently, what is done, is chiefly from sheer necessity. Prices, however, arc firm, and business in the warehouses is tolerably fair ; but there is not that buoyancy that was antici pated. LEICESTER TRADE.—The borne demand for regular worsted and woollen hosiery is very dull, and we do not hear of any orders executing for the United States, which are usually, at this season, considerable buyers. Were it not for the increase in the glove manufacture, and a growing demand for low cotton hose, both brown and coloured, a great number of frames would be now idle. The worsted trade is very flit, but without alte ration in price. There is but little doing in wool. The manufacturers buy only for immediate consumption. The stock is chiefly held by the growers, who are firm holders.—Leicester Chronicle. CITY ANTIQUITIES.—On Wednesday last the labourers engaged in excavating the foundations of the French Protestant Church, in Threadneedle -street, found at a depth of fourteen feet below the surface a fine speci men of Roman tesselated pavement, and not a stone with an inscription on it, as has heen erroneously stated. It is a very perfect specimen of tesselm of the third or fourth century, and is about nine feet long and six feet wide. Mr. Moxhay, the proprietor of the ground, has not only liberal ly allowed the pavement to remain as it was found, at the base of a pillar near Threadneedle -street, but has placed over it a platform in order more freely to allow public inspection. Many pet sons have the last few days availhd themselves of the opportunity of witnessing this ancient pecimen of art is the earlier domestic architec ture of this country. The site of the church, it may be presumed, is that of a Roman house of the higher order; and it is singular that within the last few years similar specimens have been found, in nearly a direct line, in Bartholomew-lane and within the Bank. which may show a connected series of these villas. Unhappily all rem nants of these were lost to the public, as they were broken np by the workmen, as was the case about two years since in excavating the sewers in Paternoster-row, where a fine mass of tesselated pavement, of about flirty feet in length, was thus broken up. The site of the late Royal Exchange has produced few objects cf interest to the antiquary, but within the last few days the excavations approaching Cheapside have disclosed some solid specimens of Roman mAsonry. Under St. Bartholomew's Church were found some curious structural arches coeval with or antecedent to the Norman period.

It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, mercury, ruin the con stitution, cause ulceration, blotches on the head, face, and body, dimness of sight, noise in the ears, deafness, obstinate gleets, n cdi fon the shin bones, ulcerated sore throats, diseased nose, with nocturnal pains in the head and limbs, till, at length, a general debility and decay of the constitution ensues, and a me anchol ydeath puts a period to their dreadful sufferings.

PERRY'S CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM is intended to relieve those persons who, by an immoderate indulgence of their passions, have ruined their constitution, or in their way to the consummation of that deplorable state are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system, obstinate gleets, invo luntary emissions, excesses, irregularity, obstructions of certain evacuations, weakness, total incompetency, barrenness, &c. A perseverance in its use has been the happy means of relieving many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in all disorders of the d'gestive organs, and is especially recom mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a despondent state.of mind, and that distressing train of symptoms commonly denominated the nervous. In such per sons the mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal powers, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, without interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.

ST. ANDREW'S, HOLBORN. Tuesday a Middlesex Petty Sessions was held in the workhouse of the Holborn Union, Little Gray's Inn-lane, for the purpose of hearing the complaints of the Rector, the Rev. Mr. Robinson, against upwards of twenty parish ioners, for refusal to pay tithes. The Magistrates present were—Mr. Al' William, Chair man; Mr. Mackinnon, Mr. Russell, Mr. Armstrong, and Mr. Kempshed. It apperr,:d that no tithe had been paid by any of the recusants since 1836, but the summonses were issued only for the cla;ms of the years 1839 and 1840, as the Magi trates hove no jurisdiction i❑ cases of tithe due more dim two years. The first case called on was that of :Mr. James Sher. rreadine, owner of the houses Nos. 21, 22, and 23, hail. wood's Rents, from whom the sum claimed for two years' tithe was 2/. 16s. Mr. Shermenditte being asked why he did not pay the demand, stated that tie houses in qaestion were not tithe able. The first claim made was that of the last Rector, Mr. Beresford, who, after much litigation and contention i , vith his parishioners, excused the hawses in question of a part of the sum claimed, on account of 'he poverty of the in'r,atants, and the matter was supp , sed to be finally Set t!ed in 1335, since which time no demand had been made, and toe defendant biad no notice of the revival until Saturday morning, whoa he received the summons to which he now appeared. He denied altogether the ticc ter's claim 'o tithe upon those houses, repeating that the q es'ion vas first raised by Mr. Bcresforcl. Mr. Turner, the Rector's Attorney, said that the right of the Rector to tithes from the premises in question, and from those of all the persons now called upon to pay, had been established by the Court of Chancery six years ago, and, in point of fact, the defendant hid recognised the Rector's title by paying, in 1835, according to the decision of the Superior Court. Mr. Armstrong—Why has he not been applied to sinco ? Mr. Tuner—The Rev. Mr. Beresford did not press his claims afterwards whilst he remained in the parish. He was, for the remainder of the time, satisfied with establish ing the right of the future incumbents. There are a great many in the parish who will not pay now. Mr. ARMSTRONG—There was formerly a great part of the parish not covered with buildings, and until those spaces were filled up, no tithe was claimed for the vacant inter vals. This desuetude seems to have given rise tothe ex emption claimed for the houses since erected in such places. It was a great pity that no agreement was come to at the time when it was attempted a few years age. I generally differed from Mr. Beresford upon most subjects, but I could not help thinking that his proposal at that time was very moderate. He proposed to commute the whole tithe for 5001. a-year, and if that proposal had been ae ceptol, a great deal of irritation and expense would be avoided. The question seems to be now as unsettled an ever. I have a very great objection to tithes myself, but after the decision of the Court of Chancery, and the pay ments made by those parties themselves, I think that sitting here as Magistrates, we must enforce the law. The defendant said t hat in consequence of the poverty of the persons who occupied his houses, he could not pay the tithe. Mr. M'WILLIAM said that he would be glad to exempt the defendant on that plea, if he could do otherwise than administer the law as he found it. He asked Mr. Turner how long he would allow the defendant to take for pay ment? Mr. Turner said be would give defendant any time he asked. It was not the Rector's wish to be harsh, but only to establish his right. In these cases he would not ask even for costs. It was then decided that the sum claimed should be paid in 21 days. The next case was that of Mr. Chaplin, No. 10, Gre ville street, who was summoned for 10s. A person who attended fur the defendant paid the amount, under a pro test against the illegality of the decision against him. Mrs. Howard, of No. 53, Gray's Inn-lane, was sum moned for 16g., the amount of two years' tithe, for which Mr. Turner, upon her plea of poverty, consented to take Bs., it being, be said, only his object to establish the right. Mr. Purdy, of 45, High Holborn, summoned for two years' arrears of tithe, amounting to 11., said, that what he objected to was that very thing that Mr. Turner wanted, " establishing the right." In 1835 Mr. Bell, the Rec tor's attorney, took advantage of many of the inhabitants by false pretences, getting them to give him a small por tion of the sum demanded, by way of settling the mat ter for ever, but really for the purpose of entering it upon the face of the collector's buck that they had paid, and thereby virtually acknowledging the Rector's right. The Rector published a notice to the• whole parish, pledging himself that if h e cou ld not trace t h e payments back to 1776, he would abandon the claim. He (Mr. Purdy) and others consented to take the Rector at his word, and said if the claim was so established they would not refuse to pay. Toe Rector failed, however, and notwithstanding his pledge summoned him (Mr. Purdy) to Hatton-garden, where the case was twice dismissed, and upon a third summons the Magistrate gave Mr. Bell (the attorney) a month's time to make out a case for the Rector. In the meantime, Mr. Bell called upon him (Mr. P.) several times, solicit ing to settle it amicably, but this was firmly refused, until one day Bill called on him, when he was in the hurry of business, and said if he would give him even I/. for the demand of 31., he should have a receipt for the whole, and should hear no more of the tithe claim. He was taken by surprise, and to get rid of the annoyance paid the pound, protesting at the same time ag ainst the injustice and the illegality of taking even that much from him. It was most unfair that he and others should be inveigled by such means to furnish a sort of evidence against themselves, and then be dragged like criminals before the magistrate:, at great loss of time, and with detriment to their business. He would never pay the de mand until the Rector proved his right. Mr. INl`WinuAss—lt is not our intention to allow the Rector to ride rough-shod over you. We must make .t he order against you ; but if you wish to make the payment under a protest, and to follow up that by ulterior proceed ings, we will give y o u some time to consult with your fellow-parishioners as to what steps you ought to take. After much discussion it was decided that the ord er the def ended c should be issued for pay ment in fourteen days to gi ve Ai r. Purdy time remainder to ain co d n er su o l f t, Chairman. In a s recommended by t he sion was agreed to, Mr. Turner sayin ases the Sallie deci g the that be would not ask for costs unless he were put to further expense. Mr. T.. 7. Wooller and three or four others did not ap pear to their summons, and judgment being ' given against them, Mr. Turner asked for costs. Mr. M‘Wistiast was not certain the Court had autho rity to grant costs. He knew it was doubtful in some cases of disputed tithes. Mr. Turner referred to the Acts, the 7th and Bth -_.WII ~~~, 4ORNING EDITIONS c. 6, and the 53d Geo. 111. c. 137, to show that' present cases he W 23 entitled to costs. Magistrates, after a short consultation, said that in .!sent cases they would allow only the swallest sum (mild cover the actual expenseE, and for this they coa -1 ss. in each case sufficient. Court then adjourned, THE INDEPENDENT AND WES T MIDDLESEX ASSURANCE COMPANY. The following account oftis villanous scheme was handed to Sir Peter Laurie by a gentlemen in whosci veracity that active Magistrate has the most perfect reli ance. It is to be laid before the Committee appointed by the House of Commons to inquire into the stability of In surance Offices, and the writer is to give evidence on the subject : " The Independent West Middlesex Assurance Com pany consisted of the following persons :—.William Hole, secretary and manager, declared a bankrupt on the 30th April, 1827 ; Knowles, appointed assignee, paid no divi dend; George Williams, solicitor and manager, bankrupt Dec. 25th, 1832, paid no dividend. " James Devereux Hustler, physician and manager•, was in the King's Bench Prison in January, 1835, in utteeilet titution ; took the benefit of the Insolvent Acs. " Thomas Knowles, manager, bankrupt, 27th May; 1825 ; paid no dividend. " George Edward Williams, jun., auditor, and, from Oct. 1839, secretary " William Whittaker. manager, brother to Mrs. Hole. " John Wilson, manager, the porter to the' Company. " The business being started, and the money freely paid into the office, large sums were paid by Hole on be half of Williams, who at this time had various habitations and several executions in the house ho particularly resided in—this being at the time Hole banked in the Bank of England—the cheques of which may be seen. It was now agreed by the four first-named persons, who censti tuted the Company, to appropriate a certain number of shares to each, for what they were pleased to call their vested lights. This being done, each and all drew money on account ,of the same, and thus arose their houses and carriages and othe; things. About this time a singular document was framed by the lawyer or secretary, namely, that so many shares should be settled on the wives of the four first-named persons, by way of annuity, to pro duce 1501. yearly to each. Hole, as things proceeded, assumed to himself more command than was• agreeable to Williams, who, having become more closely connected with Knowles, on account of an expected matri monial alliance, between their children, took occasion to accuse Hole of contemplating embezzlement of the money' of the concern. This led to mutual recrimination, and WA? finally :.rranged by a proposal on the part of Williams, Knowles, and Hustler, that Hole should retire from the Company, and receive for his shares, situation, lease of house (which appears to have been his), and other interests, the sum of 20,0001., with an annuity of 600/. a year. This proposal being accepted by Hole, he retired at Michaelmas, 1839, receiving the greater part of the 21,0001., together with a splendid silver cup and cover, as a testi:no isl of his valuable services. From this period! the affairs were in the hands of Williams, Knowles, and Hustler; Williams, jun., acting as secretary, under the control of the other three persons. ‘, Within a month or two from this time Williams sct up a carriege and pair of grey horses, Knowles the same. young 'Williams his cab and footman, or groom, Knowles's son, who also had a situation in the ()Mee., his cab and groom, Hustler, his horse, and, I believe, carriage. This lasted until August, 1840, when the first exposure appeared in a publication in London, and alarmed the managers, who imme diately called upon Hole to resume his situation. Hole refused to return unless they would consent to give him a statement of the money received and paid sinco his retire ment. They refused to give such a statement, but said. that the amount received was from 38,000/, to 40,0001., and that it had been all expended, and when Hole asked Williams to let him see the books the reply wag, " I'd see you d—d first." Hole in consequence of this refusal would not interfere, and as it now appeared plain enough that an cxnosure would take place, Williams and his eon reported that they had retired from the company at Mi chaelmas last, thus leaving the concern in the hands of Knowles and Hustler. - "As a proof that the money at this time was nearly exhausted, Hole, after many importunities on the part of Knowles, was induced to put his name to two bills for 500/. (aeh, which on corning due were dishonoured, and Hole was arrested on the ground of his determination to quit the country. This, I believe, by dint of hard swear ing was got over. At this time the office closed, and Knowles decamped. Hole having been one of the secu rities for the payment of the government duties, his goods were seized and sold, and, I believe, the rest of the pro perty was attached. In the Post-office Directory for 1841, page 1412, you will fill amoeg the managers J. D. Hustler, Esq., George Williams, Esq., Thomas Knowles, Esq., and the Secretary, George E. Williams. Add to which, the notices for premiums, due at Chlistmas last, are signed G. E. Williams, Secretary. " From the foregoing there can be but little doubt that the object in ridding themselves of Hole on the part of Williams, Knowles, and Hustler, was to got the funds into their hands for their own disposal. It only no re mains to be stated, that Williams bought houses" in Park street, Camden-town, also a property at Norwood called Cottag—, wiai several acres of land attached, and upon which large sums of money have been expended. That Knowles and Hustler must have secured their share no one who has heard of the company will ques'..ion ; but Hole and Williams appear the only persons in the firm of tlie Independent and West Middlesex Life and Fire Assurance Company who have purelosed property." THE EARL OF CARDIGAN. A correspondent who subscribes hits elf " An Old Soldier," has sent the following account of a most revolt ing scene to a Morning Contemporary. This is indeed " mingling blood with sacrifice." The letter is dated Tue =day, April 13. " A private of the 1 Ith Hussars was drunk on leaving the barracks at Brighton, and was subnequently tried by a district Court-martial, and sentenced to corporal punish ment. His trial took place on Thursday, and the appro val of the Court-martial was received, at Hounslow, on the Sunday morning. " On Sunday, the 11th Hussars were marched into the riding school for divine service. Prayers were read, and a sermon was preached. " On the conclusion of divine service, the trumpet-major was ordered to make things ready for corporal punishment. And in this riding-school, and on a Sunday, where not an hour before the whole regiment were cog aged in prayer, private Rogers, of the 11th Hussars, was tied up and flogged, receiving one hundred lashes. I trust, for the credit of the service and the country, the matter will be brought before Parliament, and a full inquiry instituttid. The general public, lam sure, will agree with me, without entering into the question of flogging, or whether private Rogers deserved it or not, that on no account could the commanding officer of the 11th Hussars be justified in carrying the punishment into effect on a Sunday, and in the place appointed that day for divine worship."

The sole topic now discussed here is the expected ar rival of Mavrocordato from London. The liberal party flatter themselves that he will succeed in establishing a national government, because he has hitherto been kept in exile from his repugnance to become such a nonen tity as all the other Greek ministers are under Otbo and his Bararo-Russo Camarilla Alas! for their hopes, the Ca marina lost no time in making known through the Courier Grcc, that no ch ange o f system wouldfollow Mavrocordato's appointment,and that the same system which had rendered the Greeks so hap 0) would be persevered in by the King. To support thi s system, t h ey h ave induced M. Tricupi, the forme; minister at London, to accept the office again, and he starts to-morrow, or next day, in the Greek corvette the Amelia. He comes to England to sup port the absol u tism of King Otbo. with its accompani ments of torture, poisoning, and slave-trade, and to make excuses for the non-fulfilment of the engage ments of the King to the Greeks.
