SECRETARY —Dudley Byrne, Esq. PLAN OF SETTLEMENT. The United States and Canadian Emigration Society, under a Deed of Trust with the owner, has acquired 153,400 acres of Land in Ilopkins county, Eastern Texa s, latitude 23 deg. north, longitude 95 deg. 96 min., of which district the county-town is named Tarrant. It is proposed, in conformity to the plan of the Association, and after reserving not exceeding one-fourth, to divide this Tract into 1,910 lots, of 80 acres each, and to locate thereon 1,910 families. With a view to an equitable distribution of the soil, each allotment to consist of about two-thirds Prorie or lightly-timbered Park-like Pasture-land, not requiring to be cleared for immediate cultivation, and one-third of contiguously situated timbered land, on the streams and head -waters of the Sabine and Sulphur fork of Red Rivers, Which flow through this Tract. Each purchaser of one lot to be also entitled to a Town-lot of one fourth of an acre in extent, the site of which is marked on the survey deposited in the Office of the Association. Tile allotments are so arranged as to be as nearly as possible of equal value, so that priority of choice will become unnecessary. The purchaser will have his location assigned to him in the follow ing manner, viz.: The Tract is divided into mile-square sections, designated by numbers. The Society resolves not to exceed one-fourth. Each section is divided into lots, numbered from one to eight, subdivided for assort ment in such a manner that as each purchaser will know, on his arrival on the spot, the exact location that he has purchased, no mis understanding can arise ; the Surveyor of the Association will have the absolute power to decide on all questions of boundary. On a day hereafter to be named, and of which due notice will be given before the sailing of the Emigrant, a drawing of allotments will take place. The names of purchasers will be put into one box, and the numbers of the lots in another : these numbers will correspond with two numbers on the survey, representing two-thirds, and one-third as before mentioned , and these numbers when so drawn will constitute hie purchase. [lt is the intention of th e Society to deviate from the proposed * Mode of allotment in favour of the first 200 Emigrant families, to Whom will be given a priority of choice in those surrounding the town site.] A Certificate of Title in ac,cordance with the numbers drawn will be delivered to the Em i g rant, by which the Association binds itself to give him possession of the lot drawn on his arrival in Texas. The sum paid by the purchaser of each lot will include, leirst.—A free passage from the port of embarkation to the place of ~ settlement, with rations during the water passage and land jour ney, from New Orleans to the town of Tarrant. Secondly.—Six months' provisions from the time of his arrival there. Thirdly.—Two bullocks, one cow, and calf, and tw viz.o pigs.a plough and Pourtlaly.—lmplements of husbandry and seeds, gears, a log chain and ox-yoke, a set of harrow-teeth, ten lbs. • nails, a hiunmer, an axe, a spade. a hoe, a grubbing-hoe, a saw, two augurs, two chisels, a JaAplane, a scythe, a rake, and a AtteitfOrk, sfitJa Seeds for the first year's planting. )11 . thly.—A log-beuse, eighteen feet square by ten feet in height; in the erection of which the Emigrant will have to assist. A detailed Statement and Schedule of the articles and necessaries provided by the Society, for the use of the Emigrant, will be deli vered to him with the Certificate of Title, on the payment of the Sum th e e specifid, in fulfilment of his contract with the Society. Thus payment of such sum as, according to the following estimate, will suit the circumstances of each, will entitle the indi vidual or family, as the case may be, to the aecesssary articles of subsistence, stock, and materials, for effecting their settlement on the eighty acres of land, of which they have acquired the Fee-simple and obtained possession. Emigrants may secure a larger allotment at the cost of live shillings per acre. 1 . I man without a family • • • • .• • • • • £Bl 8 9 73 8 9 2 . A man and his wife • • .• •• 3.

" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor lanky of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstome, of the Ilerbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having corm- Pletcly restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hairis much stronger and more luxuriant than lever was before the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to - the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 11s. bottle if tkey were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex- Perlence, not only in the restoration and production of hair ix abund ance, but as a care of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume iti far beyond any to her taste. S he will feel a p leasure in answerin g an y maY of respectability to the above fact..-3, Swan-street, Borough." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w drops on the crown of the head occasionally. every week, will pre- Vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mese it strong, and Prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A. few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic kerbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour tea or twelve drops on the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of as hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces h air ou children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair. --gee racapblet of testimonials.

Wilson, Chemist, Moak Bar, York, " To Mr. Th•mas Prout, " 14th June, 1647. " SlE.—Having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years trona repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit fret* the best medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic rills. Whea I commenced taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were very much swollen and inflamed ; I was suffering the most intense agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke In the morning comparatively free from pain; and before I had finished the box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and tey all speak highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " J. J. WILSON." The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and certain relief. They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other vital part. Sold by Thonias Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indiosoluble, regret un c•oreprosieg hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement.

Let ne imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but far the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom trey are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age.

THE MOST DURABLE OUT-DOOR PAINT EVER INVENTED. CARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION PAINT, specially patronised by the British and other Go vernments, the Hon. East India Company, the Principal Dock Com panies, and other public bodies, &c., is particularly recommended to the Nobility, Gentry, Agriculturists, Manufacturers, West India Pro prietors, and others, it having been proved by the practical test of more than sixty years to surpass all other paints as an out-door pre servative. It is extensively used for the protection of wooden houses, farm and other out-buildings, farming implements, conservatories, park-paling, gates, iron railings, iron hurdles, copier, zinc, lead, brick, stone, old compo, and stucco fronts, and tiles to represent sating. The superiority of the Anti-Corrosion to every ether paint for out door purposes may be easily inferred from the simple fact, that its use has been always most strenuously opposed by colour manufac turers, painters, oil and colourmen, and others interested in the sale of common paints. It is also - very economical, any labourer being aye tolay it on.

SURREY THEATRE. We are pleased to be able to speak in terms of praise of the present management. There appears every effort made and pains taken to produce pieces in a perfect manner, both as regards scenery and dresses. Last night Othello was produced, for the purpose of introducing a young aspirant for histrionic honours, in the person of a Mr. Mead, a gentleman who has been reaping a harvest of applause in the provinces. Mr. Mead was evidently suffering from excessive nervousness last evening; but still it was evident that there was "stuff " about him, and he will become a useful and effective actor. The rest of the parts were well sustained, the dresses and scenery were of the most perfect nature, and here we cannot resist the gratify ing duty of speaking of the Des demona of n holy named Ponisi, it was truly natural, and displayed considerable mind; seldom have we seen the part more perfectly pourtrayed. The Cassio of Mr. Shepherd was a good conventional reading of the part. The tragedy was followed by a new ballet called L'Amour dans le monde des Flcurs, produced under the direction of Mr. Frampton, whose juvenile pupils sus tained the principal characters, and played and danced with singular ease and grace. Mi ss F r ampton in par ticular, the daughter of the clever originator of the piece was highly successful in the part of 'the Queen of Roses, and the elegance and precision she displayed in dancing a number of difficult pas with Master Forrest and Mr. H. Parke, proved her to possess Terpsichonian talent of no mean order. Most of the dances were the invention of Mr. Frampton himself, and both his own exertions and those of his young friends well merited the hearty applause bestowed on them. QUEEN'S versus ROYAL THEATRE. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) HULL, Mimi" 26.—An application was made by Mr. Caple, the lessee of the Queen's Theatre, for a licence to open the same for the representation of the legitimate drama during the ensuing twelve mo.nths o which applica tion was opposed by the proprietors of the Royal Theatre. There was a very full attendance of the ma gistracy, consisting of J. L. Smith, Esq., mayor; James Henwood, Esq., George Coukman, Esq., B. M. Jalland, Esq., W. B. Carrick, Esq., R. Blyth, Esq., R. Tottie, Esq., T. W. Palmer, Esq., J. Egginton, Esq., Thomas Newmarch, Esq., John Beadle, Esq., and John Gor sham, Esq. The matter was considered of so consider able importance that both . applicant and . opponents deemed it necessary to employ counsel. Mr. Seymour, who appeared for the applicant, made a very stirring and animated appeal to the bench, showing the absurdity of restricting the Queen's being opened only nine months in the year, and thus nursing a mono poly by the Royal during December, January, and February. Mr. Blanchard, who appeared on behalf of the proprietors of the Royal, did not attempt to throw any doubt upon the manner in which the Queen's Theatre was conducted, nor upon the character of Mr. Cape!, the lessee, who had caused numerous letters to be handed to the bench, speaking of him in the highest terms, but the Hull magistrates bad, on two former oc casions, decided that the R ,, yal should have the sole right of enacting plays in the borough of Hull during the months of December, January, and February, and he prayed them not now to nullify their previous decisions. The magistrates retired, and after some time returned, when the Mayor announced that they had decided to re• new the licence as before, that is for nine months, not to include December, January and February. It is really impossible to divine what could have been the reasons for so many magistrates coming to so singu lar a decision; it could not be a q uestion with them whether the Royal suffers from the Q ueen's or not, be. cause as the Royal has its summer se a son as also its winter, why not compel the Queen's to close whenever the Royal is open, and it cannot be on account of any thing being wrongly conducted at the Queen's, or why grant a licence at all. Shakspere might truly say— " Man, cloth'd in a little brief authority, " &c. THEATRE ROYAL, CORK. For the first time in our theatre the beautiful opera of the Crown Diamonds, by the celebrated Auber, was produced on Monday evening to an overflowing house, attracted doubtless us much by the anticipation of hear ing the composition of this great master fittingly ren dered as by the established reputation of the compo sition itself. Nor was expectation —even the most fas tidious— disappointed; for the opera from the rising of the curtain to the fall, exhibited a combination of varied and exquisite melody, as well as a succession of vocal triumphs on the part of the principal performers. The cast was as follows:—Don Henrique, Mr. Harrison; Rebolledo, Signor Borrani; Catarina, Miss Rainforth; Campo de Mayor, uncle to Don Henrique, Mr. Corti; Diana, Miss Fitzgerald. The first feature in the piece was the " Muliteer" of Borrani, which called forth a loud encore, with which demand he readily complied. In the same act came on the duet " Oh, sweet conversation," between Miss Rainforth and Harrison, the exquisite melody and beautiful execution of which also subjected the performers to a demand fr.m she haute for its repe tition, which was acceded to with, it possible, in• creased effect and finish. In tho second act occurs the beautiful, but trying and most difficult duet "In the deep ravine," allotted to Miss Rainforth and Miss Fitzgerald, and in the performance of which both combined to achieve a triumph of no ordi nary character. The effect. was beautiful—the clear enunciation of every note of the sometimes rapid and always difficult music assigned to the principal, blending most liquidly with the accurate and effective second rendered by Miss Fitzgerald. It were needless to say a thunder of applause with reiterated encores followed, and amid renewed plaudits it was gracefully repeated. The next triumph fell to the lot of Mr. Harrison in the charming ballad " Oh, whisper what thou feelest," ex pressly written for, and introduced by him, on the occa sion. Of the many songs which devolve on Mr. Har rison in his extensive role there is not one, in our opinion, which suits him so well, or affords such scope for the utterance of those exquisite tones so peculiar to his voice, the true quality of which hero displays itself in surpassing sweetness. The style of the ballad is simple, yet thrilling. and there was thrown into it such a feeling of soul and delicacy of persuasiveness, that one knew not which to admire more, the composition itself or the style in which it was rendered by Mr. Harrison, an idea of which may be formed when we state that after re• sponding to an encore, and singing it twice over, as warm an anxiety was manifested for a third repetition; and it was only in consideration of the fatigue consequent on his compliance with the demand that the house ceased to be further exacting. Some beautifully executed trios and quartets followed, in which the deep effect of Messrs. Borrani and Corri's voices were tellingly felt and most warmly applauded. But the chef d'auvre of the night was the cavatins, " Love dwell with me," by Miss Rainforth. Here indeed was a difficulty to be en countered, and a number and complication of " bars" to be surmounted, more numerous and complex than ever presented their dread front to a rider at the " Derby" or " Ascot." But the trained flexibility and finely culti vated sustaining power of voice possessed by Miss Rain forth carried her triumphantly through, when a stormy demand was made for a repetition, w hi c h was met, and most justly, by the considerate portion of th e audience with cries of "shame." However, Miss Rainforth cheerfully responded, though it was evident her compli ance overtaxed her capability. The opera from first to last was most creditably put upon the stage, and the acting of the minor characters, as well as the accuracy of the chorus, showed that no inconsiderable amount of pains had been taken to drill and perfect them. Mr. Corti, who seems to possess that rare facu lt y of making himself at home in every character which ho takes on, and to which he imparts traits peculiarly his , own, was admirable as the pompous self-sufficient old ' Minister of the Interior." Miss Fitzgerald and Dirs. Normanton are decided acquisitions. At the fall of the curtain the manager announced, amid loud applause, the repetition of the opera for Tuesday evening. — C ork Exam i ner, March 21. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, 3laucu 26.

The iron trade continues brisk, and by some persons a further advance of 10s. per ton is spoken of as likely to take place at the ensuing quarter-day, but the more discreet ironmusters consider that the present rate of 71. los. per ton ought to be maintained. Little is doing in pig-iron, but prices are firm at the advanced quotations. The coal trade is flat, owing to the approach of summer. The price of copper within the last few weeks has advanced very considerably.

Fern'aill was nominally at 9to 1 until near the close of the room, when he receded to 20 to 1. He is said to have met with an accident on the railroad. Very little was done on the other events; but it will be seen that Chatterer sprung ten points for the Derby, and that Westow was also quoted at an improve ment.

The persecution of the Rev. James Shore has excited a feeling which will not be readily elle) ed. Large meetings have been held in London during the past week—one in the Tower Hamlets, at which Sir Wm. Clay, Bart., presided; and another at Exeter Hall, Mr. Lushington, the Member for Westminster, presiding, and who on being called away on parliamentary busi ness, was succeeded in the chair by the Right lion. the Earl of l)ucie. At the former meeting, Dr. Pe2d, who had made a flying visit to his imprisoned brother, nar rabid the circumstances of the case; and in the latter, the Rev. Mr. Binney gave a most lucid and interesting narrative of the whole case, placing the facts before the London public in such a way as to render them patent to the dullest hearer. The Hon. Baptist Noel and the Rev. Dr. Beaumont, a distinguished Wesleyan minister, also took part in the proceedings at Exeter Hall, and such an array of influential parties assembled at the meeting as has never been surpassed, even in this focus whence have originated so many important religious, we might almost say national, movements. Meetings have also been held in various parts of the country, and the agitation has only just begun. Several deputations have visited Mr. Shore, Dr. Reed last Friday, the Rev. and venerated Dr. Raffles, of Liverpool, on Tuesday. A deputation is also to come from Exeter Hall, as the bearer of an address of condolence written on vellum, and beautifully framed, as a memento of this remarkable event, which is both disgraceful to the Church and the civilisation of the country. The important Plymouth meeting, briefly noticed elsewhere, have also voted a de putation, and deputations have likewise been sent from various religions bodies. Mr. Shore has also bad the most gratifying offers of more substantial sympathy. On Sunday he received a munificent offer from a gentle man to pay the whole of the Bishop's demand. On Wed nesday another benevolent individual remitted a draft for the amount of the Episcopal "attachment" under which Mr. Shore is imprisoned, and on mentioning it to the governor of the gaol, that worthy gentleman informed him of the tender forethought exercised in his behalf— that notwithstanding that specious and very candid letter of Mr. Ralph Barnes last week, which was in tended to convey the impression, that he would be let out on payment of the attachment of the Privy Council, another detainer was now lodged against him in the event of the first being paid. So much for Mr. Secre tary Barnes's candour; we had a very high opinion of this gentleman for a considerable period, notwithstanding that many shrewd people would shake their heads and declare their belief that the prelatical agent was fit for the episcopal work. It will be seen by public announcement that a meet ing will be convened in this city for Wednesday next, when the celebrated Sir Culling Eardley will take the chair. We have no doubt, from the state of feeling in the town, that a full and enthusiastic meeting will convey to the empire at large the public feeling of Exe ter on this great outrage, committed by the laws, at the instance of a Bishop of the Established Church, upon one of the humbler clergy. Enough has been said, per haps, upon the personal part of the matter, and the ex tent to which the Bishop has compromised himself therein. It is known that the Bishop took a dislike to Mr. Shore, that lie forbade him to preach at Chudleigh, apprised the new vicar of his dislike of him in Bridge towa—that the vicar, adopting a course which was pleasing to the episcopal mind, refused to give Mr. Shore his nomination, and that the Bishop, not ignorant of this refusal, pressed Mr. Shore for the nomination, ac tually writing that he had " been waiting in vain expec tatio❑ of receiving it." That, however, is not now the question—whether a revengeful spirit was seeking satis faction by the most discreditable means, or whether the alleged impediment was the true cause of shutting Mr. Shore out of Bridgetown Chapel, we need not now dis cuss—public opinion has pretty well determined that point. But assuming that the Bishop hath "done nought in hate, but all in honour"—in either case, honest, in dependent Churchmen will come forward to free the Church from this most signal opprobrium with which she is loaded. Those who believe that the Bishop has acted in conformity with the law, that he was bound to enforce the law, and that it has given him great pain to shut a brother clergyman in prison, will attend this meeting with alacrity, in order to establish the Bishop's good faith, and to correct the law's evil structure. We hope that Mr. Ralph Barnes will appear at this meeting on Wednesday, and that he will enter upon e plain and honest defence of his master, and give some account of the feelings of the Right Rev. Prelate, so that in this Cathedral city the people may know whe ther it would be right to entrust him with a petition to the House of Lords, to correct this great evil. They might also mo% e a vote of sympathy and condolence, under circumstances which they may charitably assume must have been very painful to his feelings. In either case the Bishop is a❑ object of snore sincere pity than the reverend object of Episcopal attachment. Air. Shore is sustained by the high impulses of an honest nature, and cheered with the approbation of every honest and right-minded man, of all creeds and classes. He is not only soothed by the kindest expressions of heartfelt sym pathy, but he is sustained by the most substantial tokens of generous esteem. The Bishop, on the other hand, is in an infinitely more degraded and inferior position. If he have sought an opportunity to enforce this barbarous law for revengeful purposes, how miserable must he feel, what bitter disappointment must harass him in in his hours of solitude and constrained reflection, when he witnesses the earnest indignation of a generous people on the one side, and the lofty courage of the victim on the ether, whose prison is a palace, illumined by the sunshine of a rising triumph, and where the halo of sus tained latriotism adorns the bare walls, and gilds the meanest article of the furniture of his narrow abode. It is the old story of the pound of flesh, without the drop of blood; the knife is keen and the scales adjusted, but there is not one drop of bluod within the due and forfeit of the bond. We pity the Bishop.— Western Times. (Signed by A. H. Wylie, Liverpool, and 21 other Shareholders.)

His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Co lonel Bouverie, visited the British Museum yesterday. The queen and Prince Albert honoured the perform ance of the Philharmonic Concert, at the Hanover square Rooms, yesterday evening, with their presence. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness were attended by the Mistress of the Robes, the Viscountess Jocelyn, Lady in Waiting; the Hon. Misses Stanley and Dawson, Maids of Honour in Waiting; the Lord Chamberlain, the Master of the Horse, the Groom of the Stole to the Prince; the Marquis of Ormonde, Lord in Waiting; Vis count Clifden, Lord in Waiting to the Prince; Lieut.- Colonel the Hon. Robert Boyle, Groom in Waiting; Captain Francis Seymour, Groom in Waiting to his Royal Highness; Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. Charles Grey, Equerry in Waiting; and Colonel Bouverie, Equerry in Waiting to the Prince. The august party arrived at eight o'clock in four of the royal carriages. The Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, the Princess Alice, and the Princess Helena, walked and rode as usual yesterday. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Augusta Bruce, went yesterday to Claremont, and visited her Majesty the Queen of the Belgians. A Cabinet Council was held at twelve o'clock yester day, at the private residence of Lord John Russell, in Chcsham- place. The Ministers present were the Mar quis of 'Lansdowne, the Earl of Minto, Sir George Grey, Viscount Palmerston, Earl Grey, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Francis Baring, Sir John Hob house, Lord Campbell, the Right Hon. H. Labouchere, the Earl of Carlisle, and the Marquis of Clanricarde. The Earl of Clarendon attended the meeting. The Council sat two hours. Dispatches from the Governor of South Australia were received yesterday at the Colonial•office. THREATENING LETTERS TO THE QUEEN. At Windsor, yesterday, John Wardle, remanded from Monday last, was charged before the Mayor and two other magistrates with having sent threatening letters to her Majesty and other parties. The prisoner had first written to her Majesty on January 18, 1848, when he stated that, unless he and his family obtained their rights, her Majesty should die by his hands. This letter was sent down to the Stafford shire police, within whose jurisdiction the prisoner was employed hen he was taken before the magistrates, and charged with writing threatening letters to her Majesty. The prisoner explained that his reason for doing so was to obtain 10,0001. left to his family by the We Duke of Kent. The magistrates sentenced him to three months' confinement in Stafford gaol, in default of his finding bail to keep the peace. On Thursday, the Bth instant, he presented himself at the residence of the Dean of Windsor, and told the but ler he was determined to see the Queen, and get his due, even if his neck was stretched for it. He was again given into custody, and the result was that, after two inquiries, the case was postponed till Monday, the 17th instant, when the authorities at the Home-office having had communication with, Mr. Hayward, of the office of the solicitor to the Treasury, attended to watch the case, and was about to ask the magistrate to hold the prisoner to bail for using threatening language, when Mr. Pearl, a surgeon, of Windsor, who had examined him, ex • pressed doubts of the prisoner's sanity. Upon this Mr. Hayward asked for a remand, to obtain further evidence on that point. Accordingly the prisoner was again brought up yes terday, when the above facts having being deposed to, Dr. Monro stated that he had had an interview of more than an hour's duration with the prisoner, and he was clearly of opinion that he was a dangerous lunatic, whom it was not safe to trust at large for a single hour. Upon this evidence being given, Mr. Hayward ap• plied to have thy . prisoner committed to the county lunatic asylum. ' The MAYOR, having asked the prisoner if he had any explanation to give of his conduct, he replied that it would be useless, as he was like a lamb in a den of wolves. After some consideration the Bench adjudged the pri. soner to be a dangerous lunatic, and sentenced him to be (waned in the minty hinatio asylkiin at Littleraore near UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, MA acrt 26.—The undermentioned gentlemen have this day been elected Fellows of St. John's College:—Pierson, Beresford, J. J., Hoare, J. S., Vinted, Todhunter, —, Mayor, J. E. B.

Notice has been given this day, that, in addttion to the fixed subjects of exami nation for the degree of 8.A., the following are selected for the year 1851:—I.

The first and second hooks and the first and second parts of the third book of Paley's Moral Philosophy. THE STANFIELD HALL MURDERS.—A letter from Wymondham states that Mrs. Jermy has lost her reason and will not be able to attend the trial. Eliza Cbestney will, it is said, be taken to the court, on a kind of litter, to giver her evidence. Rush has subpoenaed Mrs. Bryant, the matron of Wymondham gaol, under whose charge Emily Sandford, or " Widow James." has been since her having been committed by the magistrates; and a private room has been fitted up at Norwich Castle for Mrs. Bryant, Emily Sandford, and her nurse. CITY OF LONDON TRUSS SOCIETY.—The anniver sary dinner, in commemoration of the foundation of this excellent institution, took place on Thursday, at the Al bion Tavern, Aldersgate-street, Lord Feversham in the chair, when upwards of seventy gentlemen honoured the charity with their presence. The usual loyal toasts having been duly responded to. the chairman proposed, " Prosperity to die City of London Truss Society," and stated that since its foundation upwards of 147,000 per sons had been relieved by it. lie earnestly impressed on the friends of the institution the necessity of contri buting means to carry on and complete the great na tional work so successfully begun—namely, the restor ing the disabled branches, and enabling them to become useful members of the community. The musical ar rangements, which were under the superintendence of Mr. Broadhurst, contributed much to the conviviality of the evening. We find that in consequence of the death of his Majesty the King of Holland, his present Majesty will not, of necessity, honour Croxton Park Races with his presence, where a cup, the gift of his Majesty, called the Orange Cup, will be one of the prizes. It was likewise the intention of his present Majesty to have honoured Mr. and Mrs. Greene, with a visit at their seat, Hirixton, near Chesterford, Cambridgeshire, on his road to New market Craven Meeting. The party to meet the Prince would have consisted of the Duke of Leeds and most of the members of the Royal Hawking Club of the Lou, in Holland, of which club Mr. Greene :(our late lligh Sheriff) has been for some years a member and a eon stunt attendant. Many of the members will now nut be present c onsequent upon t he Kin g 's de p arture for his , own dominions. For the Craven meeting, in addition to the party at Hinxton, will be, the Duke and Duchess of Cleveland and Lady Augusta Poulett, Lord and Lady William Poulett, Mr. Pigott, Lady Keene and Captain G. Pigott, Mr. Sloane Stanley, Mr. and Mrs. and Rev. William Nevvcorne. It will be recollected that the news of his late Majesty's death reacht d the Prince of Orange whilst urn a visit to the Duke of Cleveland, at Raby Castle, the seat of Mrs. Greene's uncle.—Cant bridge News. The Home and Colonial Schools in Gray's Inn road were yesterday honoured with a visit from the Marchioness of Lansdowne, who was accompanied by Sir Charles Lemon, Bart. They arrived at halt-past two, and heard a series of lessons in the preparatory in fant and juvenile schools, and exercises of a class of the teachers in trainirg. The Bishop of Cashel, Mr. Lewin, and other visitors were also present. It is rumoured that ex-President I'olk and his lady A99l4tlAPl;t9;Yipitt9gtil9Pe 7- 77 P INSULAR MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MORNING, 5 A.nr.—The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Madrid, Captain John Bowen, has just arrived of this port, with the usual Spanish and Portuguese mails. in charge of Lieutenant Newenham, Admiralty agent. Her dates are—Gibraltar, M arc h 15 ; C adiz, March 16; Lisbon, March 19; Oporto, M arc h 20; Vigo, M arc h 21. She brings on freight-706 chests oranges, 15 chests potatoes, 5 boxes tangerines, 15 boxes leeches, 2 ea se' saffron, 11 packages specie (value 2,700 L), and 22 pack ages sundries. Amongst the passengers are Colonel and Mrs. Lock, R.A., M. Balsamon (Charg,6 d'Affairs from Portugal to Vienna) and lady. The Madrid had experienced strong easte r ly ga l es . . across the bay, which has prolonged her voyage. This steamer brings letters of the 19th from our col'. respondent in the city of Lisbon. Portugal continued tranquil. The long drought had been succeeded by genial showers, which fell on the 18th, much to the joy of the country. Beans had risen from 21s. to 325. per quarter within the last month, and bread in proportion ; these famine prices would not, however, be sustained. The long promised ministerial and financial projects had not been submitted to the Cortes, but were to be laid on the table of the Lower House on the evening after the Madrid's departure. Some sensation had bon created in Lisbon by the sudden suppression of the recently established league for promoting the material inter, sts of the country. A public meeting of the league, t o h ave b een held on the S th, was prohibited, by an order s i gne d b y the Minister of the Interior. As this association w as f ormerly sup ported by the Government, and was comp ose d of parties and men of all shades of political opinion, the arbitrary edict had produced a great deal of excitement, and the Ministry were to be interrogated on the subject in the Cortes. Nothing of particular consequence had occurred in the Chamber of Deputies. The House of Peers had for some days been engaged upon a matter of great importance to the Count of Farrebo, inasmuch as it was likely to effect the final ex ecution of a sentence long pending against him for about 200,0001., indemnification for discount on paper money upon the tobacco contract he some years ago trausferred to Messrs. Pimenta and Co. lI.M. brig Harlequin and the American frigate St. Lawrence were in the Tagus. The new steam-ship Vectis, Captain Bingham, sold by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company to the Sicilian Insurgent Government, put into Lisbon, from Liverpool, on the 16th, to make good some trifling de tects in her machinery. She sailed again on the 19th for Palermo, where she will be employed as a steamer of war. The Vectis is to be called the Independenzia; she is a beautiful vessel of 1,200 tons, and was built by White of Cowes. Few Exchange operations had taken place for this packet. The quotations for bills at three months were as follow:—On London, 53k; Paris, 527; Amsterdam, 43k; Hamburgh bills offered, but no money, at 48i to 49. In stocks and shares few transactions:—Five per Cents., 51 to 52; Four per Cents., 404- to 41i; Bank of Portugal Shares, 35 to 30 discount; Bank of Oporto shares, 35 to 45 premium; Lisbon Bank notes, 43 per cent. discount. The Iberia, with outward mails from Southampton, arrived at Vigo on the 21st instant. There was some probability of the quarantine being reduced at Lisbon. Our advices from Gibraltar, of the 15th instant, state that there had been a great hurricane on the night of the 12th, which did considerable damage to the houses, particularly in the southern part of the town. The old est inhabitant did not recollect so severe a storm of wind. One American, five Spanish, and one Greek vessel went on shore; the former would in all probability be got off. The British schooners Clementine, and Rosa, bound to Oran, were forced to put into the Bay of Gib raltar for shelter. The Madrid was detained some little time at Gibral tar, in consequence of the quarantine regulations. The Governor, Sir R. Gardiner, had proposed to the Spanish authorities to reduce it to three days. Her Majesty's ship St. Vincent, and the steamers Si don, Polyphemus, Reynard, and Plumper were at Gib raltar on the 15th, also the French steamer Dauphin. The Sidon, St. Vincent, and Plumper were to leave on the 16th for England. It was rumoured that the nego tiations with the piratical Moors on the Riff Coast bad been brought to a close, by satisfaction having been given to the Admiral. Lieutenant-Colonel Norman, of her Majesty's sGth Foot, died on tho 13th inst. Exchanges at Gibraltar, at 90 days, were quoted on London 49k; Paris, st. 28c.; Marseilles, sf. 30c.; Genoa, .sf. 40c.; at eight days' sight on Madrid, If discount; Cadiz, Valencia, and Barcelona, par; Ma laga, no paper; Seville, d discount; Alicante, discount; Spanish pillared dollars, per cent. per annum. MR. BEARD'S IMPROVEMENTS 1N PHOTOGRAPHY. Within the lastfewda}SWeWisvevisited Mr. Beard's establishments in King William-street and Parliament street, and having inspected there some of his most recant productions, we must confess that we were perfectly astonished at the perfection to which he has brought the photographic art. The early daguerreotype portraits were unmistakeable likenesses, yet so deeply IA ero they impressed with a pallid corpse-like hue, that they were in fact uglier than the most ugly originals, and besides the plate upon which the likenesses were im pressed had to be moved about in various ways before the exact expression could be caught by the .ye. Mr. Beard was the first to provide a remedy !or these glaring detects, and his ordinary uncoloured portraits possess the appearance, and indeed may easily be mistaken for, the most carefully and expensively executed stet ] engravings. They can be seen whichever way they are exhibited, ithwr by natural or artificial light, and the smallest details in lineaments or attire are caught by his process with unerring and extraordinary distinctness. By a re cent improvement in the preparation of the plates the natural expression of the features, and in fact the bear ing cf the whole figure, is delineated with wonderful ac curacy ants boldness. The minutest folds iof white drapery, which have always been found difficult to portray on the plate, in consequence of the close approximation of white to light, and, indeed, of the minutest and most intricate patterns of any Patric, whether silk, cloth, or satin, and of any colour, variety, or shade, are brought out and exhibited to perfection. Then, again, the completeness to which the colouring of the process has been brought by Mr. Beard and his son is equally wonderful, since the utmost minutiae of ex pression, of dress, flowers, or other embellishments are diplayed in their natural colours and intricacy. Indeed, we inspected several coloured portraits of men high in the Legislature, and of high-born dames renowned in the world of fashion, which might be appropriately termed, without au exception, "speaking likenesses." Such is the pitch of perfection to which this branch of photography has been brought by Mr. Beard, that these coloured portraits (particularly the fleshy tints) have all the appearance of the most beautifully executed mi natures on ivory. OLYMPIC IIIEATEE.—Mr. H. J. Turner, one o the most popular actors at this favourite resort of the lovers of the drama, takes his benefit at this house to morrow (Wednesday) evening, when we hope a crowded audience will attend to encourage a deserving and rising actor. Air. Turner has issued a most attractive bill of fare for the occasion, in which we find four excellent courses, consisting of The Ray Pichers of Paris, The Lost Diamonds, Cousin Cherry, and Potharnania. YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK RAILWAY.— The Lords of the Admiralty in giving their sanction to the Bill of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway Company to construct a branch line from Lesbury to Alnmouth, have required that the soffits of the beams of the bridge over the Aln shall be six feet instead of three feet above the highest spring tides ; and that the com pany shall bind themselves to make a suitable opening in the bridge, if the river should be deepened for vessels to go up to Lesbury; and also requiring that the stone ford, 950 yards below the proposed bridge, shall be le velled to the bed of the river.—Neweastle. Journal. THE CONVICT HOWE.—This man, who now lies in the condemned cell, at York, convicted of the murder of his child, remains much in the same I rune of mind as noticed in our last. No reprieve or respite has come to hand, and should the Heine-office issue neither during the ensuing week, Howe will undergo the extreme penalty of the law cn Saturday next. We believe he has so far made no avowal of his guilt.--Yorkshire Gazette.

Thomas Proctor is in custody, and the inquest on the body of the deceased was to be held yesterday (Monday) evening. IN RE BARTON, IRLAII, AND lIIGGINSON.—At the Liverpool District Court of Bankruptcy . , on Saturday, Mr. Commissioner Stevenson gave his decision upon an important application which had been made by the assignees in this case, to the effect that the joint estate of the bankrupts should have a right of proof on the private estate of one of the bankrupts, Mr. Jonathan Higginson, fur the sum of 105,000/., said to have been abstracted by him from the partnership concern, and invested on his own private account in the purchase of railway shares. His Honour delivered an elaborate judgment, the effect of which was, that he considered that the proposal could not be allowed. During the night of Sunday last the office of the Manchester Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, Queen street, Hull, was broken open; the clerk, who sleeps in the office-, secured by cords—about 451. abstracted, and the books and papers partially burnt. The clerk is in custody, and has been remanded on suspicion. PROPOSED STATUE OF OLIVER CEONIWELL AT ST. IVES.—Measures are likely to bo taken by a com mittee at St. Ives to appeal to the country for funds to erect a monument to the memory of the Protector. St. Ives was the place at which Cromwell resided at the commencement of his public career and his signature still exists upon the church books. Slepe Hall (the site of his house) has just been p ulled down, and a portion of the inhabitants think that upon the spot the monument th9tiid be erected. ~~~ ~~t '~o~~-. //-z _ Q Y.) arcra , g i et ?Gf ye d of ,w; pu hi s Id er, is'.ie laas c ote i of )!3 ,- Y. pi" -.~ rks't
