THIS EVENING, and ev evening during the week, the GRAND ELEITSINIAN SPECTACLE of MAGIC and MYSTERY, by Professor ANDERSON, the Great Wizard of the North, in 12 acts, with ever-chanfritr variety of incidents, continuous surprises, novel and extraor Unary effects. Magic and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, sewing distinctive characteristics and peculiar phases of amusement. It is not a monologue, for the audience them selves perform their parts with the principal actor, some o' them on the stage and others in front ; it is not an exhibition. for though everything becomes metamorphosed before the, eyes of the visitors no one can be positive that he sees any one thing; but it is a comedy really performed by the com pany; a melodrama replete with startling positions awl unex pe•ted denouements ; a magnificent spectacle, with 2,000 o the public every night to app-ar as auxiliaries ; and an c-c travaganza, in which all that seems to be is entirely beyond the bounds of probability. Professor Anderson returns his thanks to thronged awl fitstionable audiences which have nightly filled. the Lyceum neettrele 2yerrflow and by means of whose generos aid he b'effeellßbletrit; - annonnee-Magie.sori Mysey u for con „blunt:mg repetition. He believes that no professor Of Tir`g has at any time er in• aug place been honoured with an amount of success so` extensive, so decided, and so unusual. He would attribute that success to three causes ; first, that in his present entertainment he has placed before his visitors the results of a life sedulously devoted to the attainment of perfected skill in one peculiar art, and to perfect which h • has travelled the globe in every clime ; secondly, that he has spared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainment oe the stage in the most elaborate manner, by the employment of the first mechanicians and artists of the day ; and thirdly. that, while endeavouring to provide amusement for thos:: who honour him with their presence, he has not forgetten tha it is possible to afford information also, and that the oppor tunity should not be neglected of exposing conjuring wher ever it has been used for nefarious purposes, or whenever by resorting to the conjurer's arts, in an illegitimate manner, the designing have succeeded in making dupes of th credulous. The 937 letters on the subject of spirit-rapping, which Pr feseor Anderson has received, from the time of opening th theatre np to the present date, bear witness to the great in terest taken on the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst many of them bear melancholy evidence to the dangers which attend a belief in the superstitious nonsense of the " Spiri tualists." Judging simply by the correspondence which has resulted, Professor Anderson's expose of spirit-rapping and his illustration of the so-called table phenomena, have pro duced a sensation unequalled by any previous attempt to ex pose a mischievous and impudent juggle. It is impossible for Professor Anderson to reply at length to a tithe of the communications which reach him on the subject. He regrets that many of these should come from ladies and gentlemen who, from their position in society and their well-known in tellectual attainments, he would least have expected to have been converts to a belief so preposterous in itself, and so easily susceptible of being controverted and disproved. Every evening, from the Lyceum stage, Mr. Anderson's opinions o -spirit-rapping are expressed, and every evening, within the Lyceum, how tables can be made to rap is exhibited and elucidated. It is respectfully requested that thi public exposition will be accepted generally as Professor Anderson's only mode of replying at full length to his multitudinous correspondents. He regrets that the names of the great and learned of the land should have been made to figure in the documents emanating from the spirit-rappers, as for instance the following, ex • tmeted from the Morning Advertiser of Thursday, Septem ber 20, and taken by that journal from the New York Spiri tual Telegraph. It purports to emanate from an American , spirit-rapper, Mr. D. D. Hume :—" Sir David Brewster frankly confesses that he is sorely puzzled' at what he has witnessed, and Lord Brougham acknowledges himself to be thoroughly nonplussed. Both of these noted men brought the whole force of their keen discernmsnt to bear upon the ' , elution of the phenomena; but the presence of substantial, actual hands, and the demonstrative strength of the spirits who thus clothed themselves for the time, and moved mate rial objects about the room, proved to be too much of a ques tion for them to master." Mr. D. D. flume, the author of the above, has recently left England, and the following account of who, and what he is, occurs in the Family Herald, No. 648: —" This young man, who is a Scotchman by birth, and now in Italy, is a remarkable medium for all the manifestations without apparatus. Barnum, who is we'l-known throughout the Anglo-Saxon world as a splendid humbug, offered him 2.000 dollars per annum if he would perform at his museum in New York. Barnum then took it for granted that mediums could be bought. He was somewhat astonished when his offer was refused, Hume, on telling the fact in London lately, simply and honestly remarked, that the money would have been very acceptable to him, for ho was poor. young (under 20), an or-i phan, and in very bad health : but he would havebeen afraid of losing his power as a medium, and he would sooner lose his life. The refusal, however, made Barnum thoughtful. He inquired into the subject; and now Barnum, one of the greatest humbugs in the world, and withal a conjuror, is one of the firmest believers in spiritualism." It is cer tainly surprising to find such a paragraph as this in the editorial article of an established journal, the editor of whom might be supposed to be sane. Even if Barnum does believe in spirit-rapping-- does spirit-rapping gain or lose h 1 this accession to its adherents ? and, with Barnum's endorse ment to it, is this bill, drawn on public credulity, more likely to be negotiated ? Professor Anderson would believe not ; but, when ho finds that educated clergymen of the Church of Xngland have the temerity to subscribe their names to so gross a swindle, when he finds that the incumbent of Wortley (the Rev. N. J. Godfrey) positively asserts Lis belief in it, and writes a book on the subject, he considers it t be time for him to state that which he knows of the mechanism by which it is effected, and the mischief to which it tends. In the Morning Advertiser of October 3 appears a letter from Sir David Brewster, relative to that which he saw at Cox's Hotel, - in company with Lord Brougham. He distinctly states that which the Wizard of the North proclaims every night—that spirit-rapping is nothing more than conjuring applied to had purposes, In the Morning Advertiser of the following day, however, there is an answer to Sir David's letter from one who was present when he and Lord Brougham had their séance with the spirits, in which the writer says, that " the table (a large dinner-table, I believe) moved about in the most ' extraordinary manner, and, among other things, a large ac cordion was conveyed by an invisible agency to my hand and then to Lord Brougham's, in which, held by his lordship's right hand, apart from any person, it played an air through • out," With such a statement, printed for the edification of the people of the 19th century, with the facts before us that the mast talented men of the day are permitting themselves to be deluded by these juggling spirit-mongers—that the greatest novelist of the age is now engaged in making it the subject of a new work, and that a " spiritual convention" has actually been advertised to be held in St. Martin's-hall, Professor Anderson trusts that his exposures of the spiritual ists of America, as given by him nightly at the Lyceum, will be received by the people of England as genuine honest at tempts to provide an antidote for the bane of the spiritual ugglers. In the course of the last five weeks 100,017 Persons have visited the Lyceum Theatre, —a larger number, it is believed, than has ever before been assembled within its walls in so short a period. Magic and Mystery is repeated every even. 'trig, the programme being continually changed.

Act 4. Magical Locomotion ; or, Transition without Trou ble.

The Dutch ship New Hollatd, from Batavia for Am sterdam, put into Plymouth Sound yesterday morning. On the 13th itst. in lat. 47 35 N., she saw a brig on fire, the stern burnt out. The schooner Elizabeth, Captain Price, of Newport, 40 days from Tarragona, for New castle, put into the 'Sound yesterday. About 10 days since her mate, Mr. Thos. Phillips, was knocked over board by the spanker boom, and drowned. -In consequence of the Sardinian Government having discharged 9,000 men, on whose services they have no further claim, and who are at liberty to enter the British Italian Legion, this force will before long be complete. Colonel Hudson, the Inspector of the Legion, who is now completing, at his office in the War Department, a list of candidates for appointments, is still in want of a few good English subaltern officers who can speak Ita lian, and whose colonels will vouch for their knowledge of their duties as captains of companies. Yesterday 500 artisans, handicraftsmen, and navvies, very carefully selected for the duties which they will have to discharge, embarked with their officers on board the Jura steam transport, and proceed at an early hour to-day direct to the Crimea. They form a portion of Sir Joseph Paxton's Army Work Corps, and have been organized by him as a . special body always available for the work of the Commissariat, hitherto very expen sively and ineffectively performed by Croats and other labourers hired in the East. __They will_not be placed under Mr. Doyne, but will have a chieKivi dan superintendent of their own in Mr. Wakefield, an active and zealous officer of the Works Corps, whose experience in the c doilies well qualifies hint to fill the situation. The formation of this body was not a sug ass.tion of the home authorities, but originated in a di rect application from the Commissary-General at the seat of war, who has g only half the nurnuer of men he asked for. The application was founded on the benefit which the Commissary General saw other departments of the army deriving from the Works Corps, and is a satisfactory testimony to the usefulness and excellent or ganisation of the navvies. Not more than five weeks have elapsed since Sir Joseph Paxton receiver: the au thority to form this body, and it is already on its way to the Crimea, fully equipped and provided for the service which it svill have to execute. It is worthy of notice, also, that the numbers presenting themselves for adruis. sion into the corps were frequently at the rate of 1,000 a day, and that the fellows who thus presented them selves are not lads, but stalwart brawny men inured to labour, and each capable of getting through more work than any three of the Croat labourers now employed. Such is the estimate of their value made by the Commis sary-General. Their wages, therefore, though somewhat above the scale at home, present a large economy as con trasted with the cost of Turkish labour, and the greater portion of the amount remains is this country for the support of the men's families during their absence. They were mustered eaily yesterday morning near Sir Joseph Paxton's house at Sydenham, and proceeded thence in a body by railway an d s t eamer to De oferl, where the Jura was moored. A military band was in attendance to keep up their spirits, which, however, appeared to require little stimulus of the kind. Sir Joseph accom panied them on board the transport to see that every arrangement had been made for . their comfort and wel fare on the passage. Miss Marsh, who has acquired much influence among the navv i e s at Sydenbam, was also present, distributing religious books to the men and giving each a word of kindly advice at parting. The experimental iron mortar float No. 1 of that series, which was towed down to Shoeburyness from Woolwich a few days ago for experiments, returned yesterday morning. Her mortar (an ordinary 13-inch) fired 30 rounds on the first day's trial, and on Tuesday the proof was continued. It was intended to have tested this newly constructed mortar-vessel to the extent of 300 rounds when with the ordinary charge, at the 66th discharge on the second day, the mortar split in equal divisions, in precisely the same manner asthose at Sweaborg ; neither of the portions, however, being carried beyond the bed. The boat itself has sustained no damage beyond the iron coating of the mortar-bed, which, at the first concussion, shrank and sprang from the woodwork, ripping out the screws with irresistible force at each successive explosion, thereby strengthening the opinion of the superiority of a wooden framework in the formation of the mortar-bed. The annexed circular memorandum has been issued, directed to regiments and depots at borne and abroad : "Horse Guards, Dec. i 4. " Commanding officers are requested to cause all per sons intrusted with the care of regimental ammunition to be strictly enjoined to avoid the use of irop hoops or iron nails in the heading up of cartridge barrels, or the presence of iron or grit amongst the percussion caps, car tridges, or loose powder, if any should accumulate from broken cartridges taken from the men's pouches. " The use of iron nails in fastening on cards of address, when ammunition may be packed for return into store conveyance from one place to another, is also to be strictly prohibited. "By command. "G.

ALICE GREY. WOLVERHAMPTON, Dec. 19.—This notable woman was biought before the Magistrates at -a Special sitting to day. Theirworships assembled at ten o'clock on purpose to take her i case, two hours before the usual hour for opening the court. Alice was brought to Wolverhamp ton from Stafford gaol last evening. Her appearance to divy was Upon a remand from Saturday, when, before the customary time for the commencement of the business Qf the petty sessions here, she was brought up before Mr. Leigh (stipendiary) and four other magistrates. The the Rightflion. C. P. Villiers, M.P., was also on the bench. No . evidence was then taken against her, and when she was remanded Mr. Leigh told her' that she was remanded because Mr. the assistant-chairman at the County Quarter Sessions, urged some objections to his notes taken when she was prosecutrix at Stafford being used as evidence in the case. AliCe, who had com plained of having been calied so early in the morning, and being brought on her journey without her breakfast, reseived the magistrate's notification in tolerable good humour, and indUlged inzeveral jocose remarks. Among others was an assurance addressed to the chairman, that 'if he was as prepossessed with her. looks as she was with his, he would never senl her for trial. At the timeibr :bringing on the ordinary business at the petty sessions, Mr. Bartlett, her solicitor, complained loudly of his wp il lug ienta sed...44 vioin x an : w bro ho u nle' t he ut lielev d ed re t w o) an h de o un d___o jJs ri tly w i h m at - - an evidence he knew not, peThaps on no evidence at all— and remanded' without any information being conveyed to him of the - 4x4ention,of the i bench to proceed with his client's case out of the usual course. Such conduct was most unfair and indecorous. _ _ To-day, in consequence of the early hour at which the examination, was commenced, there was no great throng of the general public at the court, yet a large number of the more respectable classes of the town were there. She was again defer..ded by Mr. Bartlett, and Mr. Kitson prosecuted her for the Treasury. A large number of wit nesses were examined, all corroborating the evidence previously published in The Sun, showing that the boys R Andel' and Perry, who she deposed robbed her in this town, were at the time of the alleged offence at least two miles away. Most of the witnesses were cross-examined by Mr. Bartlett., Evidence with reference to her false representations at Birmingham was also given. Mr. Stephens, the superintendent of the police force of that town, deposed to the prisoner having obtained relief from the poor-box of the court en the statement that she was destitute. Mr. Bartlett took objection to the evidence of Mr. Stephens, contending that it had no reference to this case. Mr. Leigh said that the witness's statement showed that the prisoner by imposition obtained money from the poor-box of the Birmingham Court, and tended to shew the practice of the prisoner. It was therefore admissible. Any objection might be urged by counsel at the assizes. Mr. Cooper, the inspector of the London and North- Western Railway at Birmingham, deposed to giving her a pass to Liverpool, and afterwards refusing it to her, in consequence of seeing her in company with the Rev. Mr. Morris. Mr. Bartlett urged a similar objection to the statement of Mr. Cooper, but it was overruled in like manner by Mr. Leigh, when Mr. Bartlett said, '• If it should come to a trial." PRICE 4D. STAMPED 5D- METBOPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. Yesterday, the gentlemen elected by the vestries of the metropolis to represent them at the Central Board of Works assembled, for the first time, at Burlington House, Piccadilly, for the purpose of deciding upon the necessary preliminary measures in regard to the election of a chairman. At 11 o'clock, the time fur which the . meeting had been convened, the board room, temporar il y granted by the Government, was crowded with the re presentatives, there being 44. present and only one ab sentea. The reporters were admitted without hesitation,. and it was stated that the general public were not ex. eluded ; but very few, it any, were noticeable. The proceedings, though a little boisterous at intervals, were on the whole conducted with 'a considerable amount of regularity and moderation. • . . In the - midst of the conversation which had sprung up on a►ll sides. Sir JOHN SHELLEY, the representative of St. James's, Westminster, begged to draw attention to the fact that it was neces ary for the maintenance of order that some one should be called upon to preside over them until a ciermanent chairman was elected; and perhaps it would be advisable to choose for their temporary president some one who represented a large constituency. If such were admitted ; be thought Mr. Thwaites (of St. Saviour's, Southwark) might advantageously be called upon to pre side ; but he (Sir John) objected to any person who was a candidate for the office of permanent chairman being called upon to fill-this post. He -did not know whether Mr. Thwaites was a candidate for the office of chairman, but if not there could not be a better man for the tem p , rary chairmanship. He would, therefore, propose , that Mr. Thwaites do take the 'chair.' _ _ Mr. TAYLOR (City .of London) believed that Mr. Thwaites was a candidate for the office of chairman. Mr. THWAITES was very much obliged to Sir John Shelley for bringing his name before the meeting to take the chair on the present occasion. Of course it was a high compliment. It bad been asked of him whether, in the event of his being elected to the chair now, he would be a candidate for the chairmanship. Now it was quite true that he had not canvassed for .such a post, or issued'any bill or a lvertisernent, for he thought, and he was of opi nion that there would be several representatives present who concurred with him that a body constituted as this had been should be their own nominators. He therefore preferred nut intimating his own intention, . bit if the board gave him an intimation of that kind, he al ould be prepared to devote his time and intention to the duties attending on the office of chairman. Under the circum stances, he thought it would be better if some other gen tleman were placed in the chair. Mr. TAYLOR proposed Deputy Harrison (of the City of London) as one well qualified to fill the chair on this occasion, having been a member of every commission of sewers for many years past, and he was not a candidate for the other post. Mr. Deputy EI&RRISON explained that, although not a candidate, he was yet of opinion that few gentlemen in that room would be prepared to refuse the office of chairman if elected thereto. A REPRESENTATIVE thought that even their temporary chairman should be beyond suspicion. (Hear, hear.) Mr. ALEX. WRIGHT (Westminster) sail that these pro positions having been abandoned, he would bring for ward Mr. Nicholay, who would make a declaration that he would not accept the office of permanent chairman. •Mr. NieHOLAY (of Marylebone) then declared that he would not accept of the chairmanship, and was accord ingly unanimously called upon to preside. Having as sumed the chair, he observed that he had attended here this morning to get information, and did not at all ex pect the honour which bad been conferred upon him, otherwise he would have come down better prepared to discharge the duties, by studying the act beforehand. The first business that had now to be attended to was to ascertain the names of the gentlemen present who had been elected by the different vestries. Now the Govern ment had placed this room at their disposal until the be ginning of next year, and perhaps some one was present connected with the establishment who would receive the Mr. Hill, the assistant chairman to the Court of Quar ter Sessions, gave evidence as to the prisoner's state ment when she prosecuted the boys at the Stafford as sizes, reading his notes taken upon that occasion. Inspector Bennett, of the Wolverhampton police, de posed, in addition to his former statements, that he told Alice at Stafford, after the committal of the boys, that Mr. Doni-thorpe, a reporter, had informed him that she had made a similar charge at Birmingham against a workman of that town, and that if he examined the Bir mingham, Journal be would find the case reported there. Witness was inspecting the paper named in Alice's pre seece, when she said, "Oh, you need not trouble your self, I am the person ;" and she was shortly after wards arrested as an i.opostor. Upon the completion of the evidence, which tended to the establishing of a charge of perjury committed in Stafford Quarter Sessions Court upon the occasion of the conviction of Randall and Perry, Mr. Leigh asked the prisoner if she had anything to say why she should not be committed for trial for per jury at Stafford, at the same time administering the usual caution. Mr. Bartlett, a ddressing his client, said,—" Don't you say anything ; say nothing." Alice obeyed his instructions, and only remarked to Mr. Leigh, " You are very posey ; that is all I have to say.e Mr. -Leigh—You will be committed upon this charge. Mr. Bartlett—Do I understand - that you, adopting that course, will not allow me to make any comments upon this case ? Mr. Leigh—No. I do not see why you should. In cases where the ma g istrates are in doubt they sometimes call upon attorneys for the defence to hear their state ments ; but in this case the magistrates are not in doubt, and therefore do not call upon the prisoner's adviser. Mr. Bartlett— What I should have submitted was— Mr. Leigh—We do not want to hear what you would have submitted. Mr. Bartlett—Oh, very well. Mr. Leigh--Call on the next case. The prisoner was then charged with swearing falsely in that court when the boys were committed for trial. With the exception of that of Mr. Hill, the assistant chairman of the County Quarter Sessions, and that of Mr. Hand, the assistant-clerk of the sessions court, whose depositions contained similar statements to those male in the first case, Col. Hogg, the chief constable of Wolverhampton, was the first witness whose deposition, pleviously prepared, was read. Mr. Bartlett obiected to the document as evidence. He said that the copy of the depositions which he had received bore the signature as magistrate of only " Wil liam Warner," whereas Joseph Underhill was also a magistrate before whom they were taken. He con tended, from the 17th section of Jarvis's Act, that to render the depositions admissible as evidence the signa tures of both magistrates should be upon them. Mr. Leigh said that it might have been that Mr. Underhill did not hear the whole of the case. At all names. Mr. TRIVAITES thought it was very desirable that their excellent chairman should have some assistance, and perhaps some gentleman who was not a candidate for the chairmanship would offer his services. Mr. WILKINSON, of St. Pancras, having stated that he was not a candidate, took his seat beside the chair man, and for the remainder of the meeting most effi ciently fulfilled the duties (by no means light) of honor ary secretary. His first proceeding was to call over the names of the elected representatives from a printed list. When this had been effected, Mr. TAYLOR informed the board that the list just read was not an official one, inasmuch as his (Mr. Taylor's) name stood last, whereas the City of London ought to be at the top. This discussion concerning the veracity and official na ture of several printed lists was prolonged, aad was even tually brouvht to a conclusion by the chairman inform ing Mr. Taylor that he (Mr. Nicholay) had no desire whatever to di.place the names of the City of London representatives. Mr. WRIGHT observed that the proper course would now be to appoint a co.nmittee to receive the credentials of the several representatives, and to report to the board at its next meeting. A REPRESENTATIVE remarked that it was quite certain that there were several persons besides representatives in the room, and some means should be taken to ancer tam that the gentlemen who held up their hands were really those who had been elected to this board. Mr. Hows (St. Leonard's, Shoreditch) reminded the board that they sat there as a representative body, and it would be highly dangerous to the system to interfere with the presence of the public. He therefore thought that, as far as their accommodation permitted, the pub lic, and more especially the public press, should be pre sent. Mr. CHALMERS (of Chelsea) likewise kindly interested himself in the amount of accommodation afforded to the representatives of the press. Mr. TAYLOR, adverting to the remark about voting, said that he was quite sure that every gentleman present possessed a sufficient sense of honour not to vote unless he was a member of tile board. The CHAIRMAN called attention to the fact that they were here in pursuance of the provisions of an act of Parliament, one of the most important acts that had been passed for a long time. The Government had thought -proper to accord to them local selfgovernment, and he trusted that they would conduct their proceed ings in such a way that they would not only be satisfac tory to the metropolis at large, but to the Government also, and be a creoit to themselves. The question as to the salary of the chairtnan was, he thought the first business to which they ought to attend. Mr. HUNT (St. George's, Hanover-square), thought that the chairman ought first to be elected. Sucli be behoved t° be the meaning of the clause in the act. Mr TAYLOR was of the same mind as the chairman, and thought that they should take the latter part of the clause—that referring to salary—first. He regretted the salary wag fixed at so large an amount as 1,700/. for a minimum. (Hear.) But he would not waste any more tune in lamenting what the Legislature had increased in this respect, but he believed that 1,5001. ought to have been !nada the maximum, and he moved that that sum be the salary of the chairman. Mr. D'IFFANGER (Nlarylebone) seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Mr. Bows thought that now they should proceed to the appointment of a chairman, who should, in his opinion, be a representative of the feelings of a majority of that board. Every d ly increased the number of can didates for that office. For his own part he thought they ought to make choice out of the two or three gen tlemen .vho had the largest number of votes. Mr. HUNT interpreted the act of Parliament thus— that the person who was elected should have a majority of the whole number of votes. If so, he must have 22 votes at least. Mr. TAYLOR differed from Mr. Hunt on this point. Mr. Bows gave it as his opinion that the board should first decide upon the mode in which the candidates should come before them ; and next, whether the election should take place by ballot or open voting. The CHAIRMAN presumed th a t there would be no such election to-day. And perhaps the board would do well to consider whether or not the Chairman should be one possessed of a seat in the House of Commons. Mr. CHALMERS adverted to the fact that the Act of Parliament left it open to the board to elect one of their own body or not; and believing that there would be found a man sufficiently well qualified among the repre sentatives pre, , ent, he s h ou ld move "t hat it was inexpe dient dient to go b e y on d the members of the board for choice of a chairman." A RENtEsENTATIVR submitted that it was not compe tent for the Chairman to put this motion; and other lion. representatives having urged various reasons against it. CHALMERS declared he would not press his resolu events, he should not allow the objection to have any weight at this stage of the proceedings. It might le urged by counsel upon the prisoner's trial. Tne case then proceeded without any interruption to the close, when Mr. Leigh again asked the prisoner if she bad any thing to say in her defence, adding the usual caution. Prisoner—lf I get off, you will eat your importunities. You are Jikely to make mistakes on my behalf. It is a great pity that you are so apt to make these mistakes. Mr. Leigh then read a letter from Mrs. Morris, wife of the Rev. Mr. Morris, vicar of Hampton-in-Arden, who met the prisoner at the railway station in Birming ham, and t,ok her away and gave her some refreshment at a coffee-house, when the prisoner alleged she received the 41., of which she stated the boys robbed her. The rev. gentleman was subpoenaed to give evidence to-day against Alice. Mrs. Morris dated her letter from Wel lington, where she said that the summons reached her. Mr. Morris, she said, had lately been seriously ill of paralysis, and his physician was of opinion that exciting him might be productive of serious consequences. Under these circumstances therefore she presumed that the magistrates would not insist upon his presence. She was willing to forward a medical certificate as to his state of health. Prisoner—Perhaps he is in love. (Laughter.) Mr. Leigh added that this accounted for Mr. Morris's absence to-day. If he was sufficiently well, and the gentlemen who conducted the prosecution considered his evidence requisite, he would no doubt be required to attend at the assizes and give evi dence at the p risoner's trial. Prisoner—l wish that he had never come to the rail way station—that's one thing. (Laughter.) Mr. Bartlett said Alice Grey can obtain good bail. Will the magistrates admit her to bail ? Mr. Leigh—Do any gentlemen to your knowledge offer her bail ? Mr. Bartlett—No, sir ; no gentlemen. Mr. Leigh— Oh ! then, you lay stress upon the term " gentlemen." Mr. Ward, the clerk of the court, intimated that Mr. Bartlett meant that there were tradesmen who would be bail for her. Mr. Leigh—Well, I call any respectable tradesman a gentleman. Mr. Bartlett—What I mean is this—l stated that I had been employed to conduct Alice Grey's defence by private gentlemen—gentlemen living upon their property. I therefore wished to distinguish between them and tradesmen who I believe are ready to offer bail for her. I am not, however, capable of saying that they will. You will bear in mind that this woman has been already tried—l will not say tried—indicted for the same offence as that which is now before the magistratei. I hope , Sir, that if the magistrates can take bail they will. The magistrates refused to accept bail. Prisoner—lt is a pity to be on the lee side of want. Mr. Leigh—You will be committed also on the second charge. The prisoner was then removed from the court, and was soon afterwards conveyed back to Stafford gaol by railway. tion. Mr. WRIGHT then moved "that the election of chair man be by open v oting, and not by ballot." Mr. Hows seconded the proposition, which gave rise to a protracted discussion, which was eventually carried w i t h but one dissentient. Mr. DOULTON (of Lambeth) moved that the number of candidates be reduced to two, by striking out in turn each can didate who had the smallest number of votes. Carried unanimously. Mr. WILKINSON said that perhaps it might now be well to proceed with the nomination of candidates for the chair. Mr. DREW did not deem such a course advisable at present. Mr. TAYLOR thougbt that the most convenient and better course would be for all gentlemen belonging to this boardoand aspiring to this office new to declare them selves. But he woull not stop there, for by the Oct of Parliament they were not limited in their choice to their own members. He begged to move "that we do now receive any application from any gentleman of this board desirous of filling the office of chairman." Deputy HARRISON conceived that the preferable way would be to name a day for receiving all candidates' applications. The hon. representative moved a resolu tion in accordance with this opinion. Mr. TAYLOR said that Deputy Harrison would not ex clude members of the Court from declaring themselves c• - ,r didatcs new or before the fixed day. a the opinion that the I fir. Delrox likewise inclined f " 7." PRESERVATION oa LIFIC AT SEA.--The Emigration Commissioners, with commendable promptitude, after being satisfied of its importance, have ordered Clifford's plan or apparatus for unlashing, lowering. and disen gaging ship's boats instantly, when laden with any crew, to be fitted to the Aurora emigrant ship, now bound for Australia, and lying in the West India Docks, Lime. bouse.--iSotgin4 jfi r -4fr Ze-r, naenee 'of the candidates should be before the boe I rd a* pcs:ible, inasmuch as most the membt Uof the board were as yet unknown to one another. After some observations by Mr. Byson, Mr. Da Ph and Mr. Savage, Sir JOHN SHELLEY remarked that it would be sow e what difficult to know who was a candidate. For i n stance, ho himself would not send in his name as a cal 1- didate ; but yet, if deemed by the board a proper perso n to fill the office, he was willing to accept it. Major LYON (St. George's, Hanover-square), in orde e t() clear the matter up, would inquire from the chairmats ifi'a candidate or applicant required a proposer and xe. co nder at tI is board. The CHAIRMAN replied in the negative. Major ',vox-7 hen there will probably be 5,000 can dilate. , . (A laugh.) Mr. DAtls said that any gentleman might be a can didate noon his making it known to the chairman. Mr. WlLKeelsole remarked that it must be apparent to every one tlat a candidate who had not sufficient influ ence to get himself a proposer and seconder had very little chance or election. The motion of Mr. Taylor was then put and carried. Mr. Green (Hackney) considered it somewhat indeli cate to ask gentlemen to nominate themselves. It would be letter to allow members to be nominated by others. Mr. WILKINSON said that the motion of Deputy Har rison was "That this board, at its rising, do adjourn to Saturday next, at 12 o'clock, up to which time the names of persons desirous of filling the office of chairman shall be received." Mr. THwAITES suggested that it would be impolitic to bind the board to any definite line of proceeding on Sa turday. Deputy HARRISON replied that if his motion were car. ried. it c ould still be in the power of the Court to do as it wi hed on Saturday. The resolution was passed neat cone Major LYON proposed, and Mr. HUNT seconded, a motion to this effect :—" That no gentleman shall be eligible for the office of chairman unless he be proposed and seconded by members of the board." Mr. TURNER, believing that such a resolution 'ought to he more definite, would move " that the chairman shall, before proceeding to any other business at the meeting on Saturday, read over the list of candidates, and inquire with respect to each, whether any member is prepared to propose, and any member prepared to second him, whose name shall be taken down, and all candidates not having a proposer and seconder shall be struck out of the list." Mr. TEIWAITES re-Bed his conviction that no man would require more sifting than the candidates for the chairmanship of the board. Sir Joule SHELLEY objected to the resolution. For himself, he should not canvass for votes and persons, who would not do so might find themselves in the unplea sant position of not having a mover or seconder. Mai,r LYON withdrew his motion in favour of that of Mr. Turner, which was passed by a large majority. A REPRESENTATIVE moved that the resolutions come to be advertised in the following journals, namely, the Times, the Several REPRESENTATTVBS—" All the Londen morn ing papers."—Agreed to, Mr. Deputy HARRISON ha& - now great pleasure in moving—" That from the important duties devolving upon the chairman (4 this board, we shall require him to devote his whole time to their discharge." Mr. SAVAGE seconded this motion. Mr. DREW, Mr. TURNER, and other representatives, including Sir J. Shelley, objected to this resolution. The latter asked whether Deputy Harrison would ex clude members of Parliament and professional gentlemen? The Secretary for the Home Department and the Secre tary for the Colonies could attend both to their duties in Parliament and their official ones, and why could not the chairman of this board do so likewise ? Mr. D'ITFANGER strongly supported the motion. Mr. Deputy HARRISON thought the board would put a liberal construction upon the resolution. As to the ad visability of having a chairman who could represent the interests of the board in the House of Commons, he thought the board would agree with him in thinking that they should depend for the support of Parliament upon the propriety and utility of their works alone. (Hear.) The motion was then carried by 24 to 10. The thanks of the meeting were then voted to the chairman and hon. secretary, after which the board broke up, having sat nearly four hours. EAST INDIA COMPANY. A quarterly general meeting of proprietors was held at their house in Leadenball-street yesterday; Mr. E. Macnaghten, the chairman of the board of directors, presiding. The CHAIRMAN acquainted the Court that the war rants for the half-yearly dividend would be ready for de- livery on the 7th of January. Mr..T. C. NN'itirm[AN proposed the following r eso l u . tion. —"That, at the general court of the Eaat India Company to Le) held on Wednesday, the 9th of April, 1856, for the election of five directors for the term of six years, it is expedient and just that some of the proprie tors, heretofore directors of the company, who were not appointed to be directors in 1854, when that body wag (hy the operation of the Act 16 and 17 Vic., cap. 95), reducel from 30 members to 15, be then elected direc tors, in lieu of those directors whose term of office will expire on that day." At the next election it would be in their power to vindicate their rights, which had been suspender?, and to restore a practice which had worked sati9fact. rily during the long period of 120 years. He trus'ed that the proprietors would elect a board for the matirement of the affairs of India which would meet with the approval of Parliament. Mr. LEWIN seconded the motion, not because he had any sympathy with it, but because lie thought it should not fall to the ground for want of such support. The Government had done well in introducing three directors of went at ility, and he trusted that they would soon in- troance many morn, who would absorb the whole thing. Dr. BRATTIE WDA of opinion that it would be impru deht on the part of the proprietors to pledge themselves to the resolution. Ho would rather advise them to re serve their votes until the names of the whole of the candidates were before them. Mr. CL.IIIK oppoeed the motion, inasmuch as be thought that it would be an invitation to the Govern ment furthtr to interfere with the vested rights of the proprietors. The CIIAIRMAN said that as be was one of the five who would go out in April next, he would rather not have made any observation on the motion, but be felt bound to a , nourxe that tl e Board of Directors had resolsed not again to issue a house list, but to leave the election ent rely in the hands of the proprietors. (Cheers.l After some remarks from Mr. Brown, Mr. Dent, and Mr. Whittman in reply, the motion was negatived. Mr. M. LEWIN pniposed the following resolution : " That, in the opinion of this Court the present system of Indian Government is unsuitable fur its purposes; that it assures neither efficiency, responsibility, nor redress ; th it under it the grossest abuses are permitted to exist unch-cked throughout our Indian territories ; that the eel indium of placing our Indian administration on an intelligible basis, is a perfect transfer to the Crown, by which the jumble of two authorities (being as respects each oth• r's powers unknown quantities) will be abated, and the r,eediess expense of the Leadenhall-street esta bli,loto(nt caved to the territorial revenues of India." Mr. JONES seconded the resolution, although he could not ent'rsly approve of it. Dr. rRATTIE moved as an amendment, "That the abolition of the Court of Directors, or any diminution of its power : , would be productive o f mos t i n j ur i ous cense nc Dr. Fiscii seconded the amendment,which was carried. Mr. Lewin's motion was therefore negatived. Mr. JONES, in proposing his motion, to the effect "That it was just and expedient that scholarships should be attached to the universities of India, to enable the native students to become competitors in the Indian civil service examination in this country, and that the saving to be effected by the abolition of H aile y bur y should ly applied to that object," said that the civil ser vice in India resolved itself into questions of law and t q h u a e t st t i h o e ns d o e f ei r s e i v o e n n s u o e f . , th e r j e u g d a g r e d s to f g o e r n m e e r r ai t f i o g u fa n e d . tion, as few appeals against them had be d en confirmed ; and it should be remembered laws st founded thoseec o ' n C s h w ri e st r i e regulated by a system of 1 theof revenue,eeuntry andhe maintained :linty, a religion which was not the creed of the . judges the nature that thoso acquaintedthemselves.

He found that there had i ssue d f rom the Board of Control a despatch for the establishment of universities in India, which, although signed by the Court of Directors, was to be attributed to Sir C. Wood and which ranked him with Alfred and with Wolsey. He applauded that proposition ; but he did not see why they should increase the susceptibilities of the natives, and deny them the means of exercising their acquire. ments for the benefit of their country. He did not think that Europeans were too highly paid for their services ; but taking into account the relative value of money in this country and in India, he was of opinion that the civil service there might be more economically man age d by the employment of native talent. Gen. BRIGGS seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN would meet the proposition of Mr. Jones with a direct negative, as he thought that that gentleman was going too fast, and as there were already 421 scholarships attached to the educational institu tions in India, the emoluments of which, however, he was willing to confess, were not sufficient to enable the holders of them to come and study in this country preparatory to their presenting themselves at the civil service examination. Mr. DENT urged on Mr. Jones to withdraw the mo tion, as it had taken the court by surprise. the m otion.

The motion was then negatived. Mr, JONES inquired if it were the general rule that 12 per cent. should be charged on the arrears of revenue Mr. PRINSEP replied in the affirmative. Mr. JONES said, on another occasion, be would bring that matter before the court. The proceedings then terminated.
