BESIDES the above Patented Article, there is another Novelty introduced for this Season which is however, Registered, and consists in a BODY GARMENT some what in the form of a Dress•coat, that Is to say, a Gentleman can wear it in the evening without distinctly infringing the laws of costume recognised in Society ; but as It is more especially in tended for morning wear, when Riding or Walking, it necessarily avoids the stiff formality to no observed in the cut and form of the Dress-coat. The price is TWO GUINEAS. the same as charged at 114, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, VORNIIILL, fur THE REGISTERED PALETOT, which is likewise now ready for the Spring mouths, with all the new and patented improvements included in the above moderate price; thus it deservedly bears the name of being not only the most fashionable but also the cheapest and most durable garment ever offered to tile Public, the intrinsic value of the material known as NICOLLIAN or LLAMA. CLO CA, being, within the last few months, much enhanced, the same durability being retained, with an increa , ed fineness and beauty in appearance. It can ba seen ready for imme diate wear, in every size, at 114, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNHILL, bat TT is impossible to detail in an ordinary A dyer tisement the many advantages appertaining to the above gar ments. In the first place, Messrs. NICOLL purchase the wool direct from the foreign grower, and it does not leave their possession Until it is produced in a complete form and ready for the inspection of their Patrons. Messrs. NICOLL are honoured with the patronage of their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert, Prince George of Cam bridge, Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, his Grace the Duke of Wel lington, and all others distiaguished in Rank and Fashion, the Court, the Pulpit, and the Bar. At 114, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL, there is to be seen THE IN ICOLL.—A patented garment and pos seming this peculiarity, that whilst in its exterior it preserves every characteristic of the Registered Paletot, it can, by simply letaching an inner 11. ing, be conver ed from a warm to a light ercoat, or vice versa, at th' pleasure of the wearer. This same inner lining, vi hen detached, of itself forms a most comfortable readlag or dressing jacket. There are many other advantages con tained in THE NICOLL. rendering it as a garment a most valuable adjunct in a variable climate, also for travelling, Etc., but it should be seen and worn to be fairly appreciated, but it can be h a d i n Lon i" Only at 114, 116, 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNHILL, „ 15 perkaps unnecessary here to state that Messrs. Nicola. will endeavour to deserve and retain the eminent position they have attained through the employment and liberal payment of the best skill and talent that can be net with in order to Introduce articles of gentlemanly costume in the most perfect taste. Messrs. N. are well aware that their great popularity induced by the high character exhibited in every point •f the Registered Paletot, &c., &c., has caused many to assume a somewhat similar title for their goods, but the copy has consisted only in a close re semblance of the name but not of the article ; a careful observance of the annexed address is therefore respectfully solicited, where the above garments can only be obtained in London. 11.

TO THE ELECTORS OF SHEFFIELD,' G ENTLEIIEN,—The invitation that you have been so kind as to send to me, requesting me to become a candidate for your suff rages at the coming Election, I at once accept—thanking you most sincerely Mr this signal and unexpected mark of your esteem and ap probation. say approbation, because I thus construe your invitation. Of Illy political life you have taken cote—and noting, have approved. You say that my past actions have been such as to win your confi dence. To thoSe acts I must refer you, as the best and most com plete evidence of my political opinions. Eighteen years ago, when for the first timer was about to solicit the suffrages of my country- Men, in the hope tiot they would place me in the proud position of a representative of the people, I stated at some • length t he p rinciples n kith would gu y ide m conduct upon all the great question s of p olicy which then occupied the attention of the nation. To that statement I could now refer, and for the same purpose : I could refer to it, not only as an exposition of my private opinions, :but as a test by which to try the consistency of my pen.brmance and my professions. The experience of many years has, I hope, made me wiser, and taught Me the mode most conducive to the piactical application of the prin ciples which I profess—but from the principles themselves I have not eparted. The years that have elapsed since 1832 have indeed settled very few of the questions which at that period interested and divided the Whole people. We have advanced —and are advancing—but at every the contest of opinions is renewed, and we have almost every which each separate victory has day to re-state the argume nts b y been obtained. On the great and leading questions of constitutional reform, though much has been done, much remains to be accomplished. The many anomalies of our electoral system have yet to be removed —a fuller scope must be given to the popular will—and numerous classes who are now unwisely excluded must be brought within the pale of the Constitution. Every statesman who really desires here after to provide for the well-being of the people will seriously con sider the question of the suffrage, in order to bring about speedily, though cautiously, a large extension of it. My opinion as to the best mode 01 taking the votes at elections I have seen no reason to change. In order that opinion may be freely expressed, the ballot seems to me absolutely indispensable. In short, though the Reform Act was a great step in advance, Still the increasing intelligence of the country demands, and will in its proper time attain, a reform of the Reform Act. Although we cannot hope to win and retain complete good govern ment itself without perfection in the means, yet we must not post pone all other reforms until those of the Constitution are attained. Our endeavours may at the same time be directed to many objects, and I therefore proceed to touch upon some . Which appear at the present moment of the highest importance • . Though, in my opinion, a Government cannot do much directly to procure wealth and comfort for a people, it can, and unfortunately does, do much improperly to diminish their substance, and thereby their comfort. Unnecessary expense —unmeaning, mischievous re strictions upoa the industrious labours of the people, have in all ages been the vice of Governments. But the vigilance of the popu lar leaders must now be directed to curb this evil—not only must we, then, enforce a rigid economy. but we must require that a perfectly free trade should give full scope for the active energies of an indus trious nation. Connected with this subject in many ways, and with the well being of mankind in many more, is the great subject of colonization. The colonies of England have been planted in spite of the mischie vous interference, and not by the aid of the Government of England. It is high time that the intelligence of her people should act upon our rulers, and make them directly useful in extending our name, our language, our institutions, and the blessings of an enlightened religion, over the vast regions which nominally own our rule, but which lie useless to us anctto mankind To this end, it appears to me that the whole subject of our colonies calls for a complete and immediate revision. While speaking of expense, and the impolicy and injustice of our conduct towards certain outlying portions of our territories, I must not forget a part of the empire itself, an integral and most important portion of the United Kingdom—l mean unfortunate Ireland. Our conduct to Ireland has been, Ulla few years since, one continued act of terrible injustice ; and we now wonder that the people, whom we have treated as slaves for centuries, should not have the virtues and habits of free men. There is now but one course of wise policy as regards Ireland. We must establish rigid justice throughout the land. must suffer no party, no sect, no class to domineer over ail , other; and to this maintenance of peace among her hitherto -contending sons, our efforts must be confined. If we do More, we shall do serious injustice to the people of England and Scotland, and render no service to those of Ireland. If we were to- Morrow to transter the whole wealth of England to Ireland, we should only create waste, idleness, and vice. A people must work out their own regeneration, nil 4 acquire wise. frugal, and virtuous habits, by leading a wise, frt;gal, and virtuous life, The wealth that is not acquired by labour Is but too often squandered in ex travag,ance. I have spoken above of extending over our wide and yet unsettled territories the inestimable benefits of to enlightened religion. This naturally calls my attention to the situa,:ion of religion among oar selves, both as regards doctrines and estabh:shments. lam myself a member of the Church of Efuland. I was (du cated as a member of the Established Charon ; And after a care: ul consideration I have seen no reason to, leave the fellowship of my childhood and youth. But this determination ha i.seen formed after consideration, and is the result of my own wit', utte . 2v independent of that of any other man. What, then, I have demanded for myself —the right that I have vindicated in my own person—l c: man ' fo all others. I insist upon religious as well as civil liberty. If my mind be enthralled by arbitrary will, and t of 11l by the suasirm of reason, I am more a slave than if you pu. my body in chains. Whine I demand for all this freedom, witch I have exercise , myself, I proceed yet further. I hold every coercion on this subject impolitic, as well as unjust, You may compel to outward observance, ind to fa'se declarations ; you may create hypocrisy and discontent ; but at rd of command you cannot make men believe. With this view, therefore, I am led to deprecate, on all proper occasions, every . attempt to make establishments which exist for the purpos e of promoting any peculiar religious opinion State establish itcolts. In a country like ours, of complicated relations, of long established habits and opinions, I cannot expect that my opinions on Inch a subject should be immediately acceded to; end lam not Prone to feel hurt or to take offence when I find men differ from me concerning it. But though we cannot change at once what has been long established, we can far more easily prevent new steps in a wrong direction ; and, therefore, to arty extension of such religious estab lishments I shall direct unceasing opposition. Within the narrow limits of an address like the present. I cannot do More than indicate my views, and touch upon the leading opinions I hold. From this general view, however, an accurate conception can be attained by you of The political character of the m in you have invited; and an opportunity will, I hope, he soon afforded me of explaining, to the satisfaction of all whom the matter may in terest, My present feelings and future plans respecting our domestic Po, AitY exposition, however general, which emitted a reference to our foreign relations and policy would be indeed incomplete. My belief on this subject is, that our true policy consists in abstaining from all idle intermeddling with the affairs of tithe , nations. Every nation In Europe has at this time enough to occupy Its attention in settling its own affairs ; and the history of Europe. from the year 1830 to the present time, when compared tvith the history of Europe from 1793 to 1815, is the best argument which historical experience can offer in favour of leaving a people to regulate and arrange for themselves their own internal affairs. laterierence in 1793 kindled the flames of war over the whole world—a war unequalled for the blood that was shed and the wealth squandered in its terrible and disastrous conflicts. Non-interference in 1830 has allowed Europe a chance of peace, and holds out to us a hope that the struggling people will, in every nation of the great European family, eventually attain the inestimable benefits of a well regulated popular Govern ment. I must end, Gentlemen, in I began, by expressing to you my hearty thanks fur the honour you have conferred on me, and by placing myself at your dispose', fa the coming election. I ant ready, when it shall so pl. ass you, to present myself to your notice, and submit to all such inquiry as you may thiak right. Having nothing to conceal, I have no fear of inquiry. I beg to remain, Gentle►nen, Your most obliged and faithful Servant, J. A. ROEBUCK. T HE NICOLE—REGENT-STREET and conNuILL. .. ..,... . .... .. _ ...._ .. _ _ _ • - - ~..,„ • 4.. .4t . . . . .

This Institution embraces important and substantial advantages with respect to Life Assurances and Deferred Annaties. Policies issued by this Society have a t , :mfoid advantage :—provi sion for the family of the Assured, and rt augmenting pecuniary available resource to himself, if needfal, while living. The Assured has, on all occasions, the power to borrow, without expense, or for feiture of the Policy, two-thirds of the Premiums paid. DEFERRED ANNUITIES, By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option,'a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of hie payments will be returned to his representatives.

AVERSE FOR MY PUR SE. Come, safe preserver of my valued cash, Thy praise I'll sing, though Shakspere calls thee trash. Much do I owe to thee, thou treasured thing, And therefore 'tis but right that I should sing. All that I wear, and all I eat and di•ink, Ire but the produce of thy current chink; And wheresoever, therefore, thou art conn'd, I view thy contents as a magic wand. Like everything, thou may'st be rightly used, And likewise may'st be equally abused. But I am one who would consult my purse, In buying goods for better or for worse. • Thy gold and silver treasures, if we ponder, Is far too costly—far too scarce to squander; And therefore in my purchases in trade, I always go where savings can be made. And never do I carelessly disburse The Whites and Yellows of my well-wrought purse. In dress, for instance, I would always buy MOSES AND SON'S ATTIRE, Which ranks so high. At MOSES' Warehouse, everywhere renowned; Cheapness and quality are always found. I never once have found it the reverse, Though often there I've drawn my silken purse. THE HATS AND BOOTS OF MOSES Also show That quality is high, and price is low. And really more than ever do I see The very little hole they make in thee. Hence I again to MOSES will repair, And make a good —a moderate purchase there. Again with MOSES will I draw my purse, I can't do better—but I could do worse. And thus concludes this tributary verso.

An extraordinary general meeting of the proprietors of shares in the East Indian Railway Company was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate• street, yester day, at one o ' c l oc k , f ur t h e purpose o f considering and discussing a communication received by the Board from the Court of Directors, comprising " the terms and conditions proposed by the Court of Directors of the East India Company, for the construction of a line of railway in the Bengal Presidency," and of considering and deciding on the proceedings to be adopted in reference thereto. The chair was taken by H. A. AGLIONBY, ESQ., M.P., who called upon the secretary to read the communications which had been received from the Court of Directors, and the terms and conditions referred to therein. Mr. D. I. NOAD, the Secretary, then read those documents as follows : East Indi a H ouse , 2 8 t h M a rch, 1849. Sir,—l am co mman d e d b y the Court of Di rec t or s of the East India Company to acquaint you that, in con.se qucnee of the discu ss i ons w hi ch have taken pl a ce respecting the " terms and conditi ons " p ropose d f or be introduction of railways into India, an d a d vert i ng to t h e c onflicting . views which prev a il i n regar d t h ereto, t h e a tt en tion of the Home Authorities has been again turnedlto the whole subject; and that, upon a review of the "terms and conditions," it has been determined to modify the same, in the hope and expectation that the question may thus be brought t o an ear l y and sat i sfactory conclus i on .

In forwarding the same, I am commanded to state, that the terms and conditions so modified are to be received as the ultimatum of the Home Authorities, and that the assent thereto of the East Indian Railway Company must be signified withia one month from the date of this letter. The board of directors of the East Indian Railway 'ompany will observe that a clause has been introduced, defining more particularly the position of the experi mental section which they are to undertake.

That the railway be made by a company under the supervision and direction of the East India Company, whose officers, in India or in London, shall attest to the whole expenditure, and see that the capital account is properly kept, in the course of construction. 3. That a capital of 1,000,000/. sterling, for the exe cution of the proposed experimental section, shall be raised by the railway company, from the shareholders, and paid into the East India Company's tr easury i n London, to be re-drawn as required for exp en di ture. f or such purposes only as shall be admitted to be capital 4. That the land be provided by the Government 5. That the land remain the property of Government; and that the railway company be granted the u se o f i t, on lease for nirety-nine years, but which, nev er th e l ess , shall be terminated at any shorter per iod, when th e E ast India Company shall, under the conditions and stipula tions herein contained, become possessed of the railway. 6. That the East India Company shall pay, annually, to the directors of the railway compan y , a sum equal to 5 per cent. interest on the capital of 1,000,000/., paid into the East India Company's treasury under the pro vision contained in clause 3. . . 7. That the whole of the profits shall be applicable to repay the East India Company the interest of 5 per cent. thus advanced; and if more profit than 5 per cent. is made, then that one-half of the surplus shallgo towards repaying the interest advanced in former years, and the other halt to the shareholders. When the arrears of interest, with interest thereon, calculated at the rate of 5 per cent., from the time it shall have been advanced by the East India Company, are all paid, then all the extra profit to go to the shareholders. 8. That in order that the public may have security that the railway, when opened, shall be kept in use, it be a condition that the railway company shall run such trains as the Government in India shall consider neces sary for the convenience of the public and the general traffic. 9. That in the working of the line the East India Company shall have perfect supervision of works, books, accounts, &c., and shall see that the line and working stock are at all times kept in perfect repair, equal to the first state; and that if the railway company fail to follow the directions of the East India Company's officers, the latter shall be at liberty to make repairs, and deduct the cost from the next accruing interest, or other moneys, to be paid to the railway company, 10. That in no case shall the East India Company be called upon to pay more than 5 per cent. per annum on the actual capital paid into the company's treasury. to an extent not exceeding 1 ,000,0004 sterling; and that if there be any loss in working the line, the Railway Com pany shall bear th e same so long as they retain it They shall, howevr, be at liberty to give it up to the East India Company at any time they please after six months' notice in writing, which may be given at any time after the line first to be made shall have been finished and in operation for the space of three months; but the railroad to be given up in perfect condition, both as to the line and the working stock. They shall then receive pay ment of the original capital invested in the actual survey and construction of the line, either in one sum, or, at the option of Government, it may be commuted for an annuity, according to the provision hereinafter con tained, for the purchase of the railway by the East India Company, the Railway Company having satisfied the East India Company that all claims against the Railway Company, iu respect to the railway, have been discharged. 11. That any company undertaking these works shall lodge with the East India Company, within two months from the date of the Court's letter transmitting the pre sent revised terms, a subscription contract list of share holders, to be approved by the East India Company, for the whole amount of the capital required—namely, 1,000,0004 sterling, with a deposit thereon of six per cent., whereupon the East India Company will re turn the present deposit of 60 ,0001., and will take mea sures in view to obtain without delay for the railway company a charter from the Government of India, and a charter in conformity therewith from the Crown. 12. That a clause be introduced into such charters, which shall bind the Eailway Company to the payment of the required capital, and the completion of the works undertaken, within such period as may be agreed upon between them and the East India Company; and which, in case of failure of such engagement, shall enable the East India Company to take possession of the line, upon re-payment only of the cost of survey and con struction of such portions of the line as shall have been actually completed and opened to the public. vernment of India the option of purchasing__ t 13.

That it is to be likewise understood that the pre sent arrangement in no respect supersedes the terms communicated to the Government of India in the le gislative letter of the 7th of May, 1845, with the ex -18. That, in consideration of the rate of inter es t ception only of the question of guarantee of interest. having been raised from 4 to 5 per cent. per an num, the railway company undertakes to carry the mails free, and the troops, the artisans, and the stores of the Govern ment, at the terms chargeable for the lowest class of passengers, and at the lowest rate for goods respec tively. The CHAIRMAN said he would venture to ask whether any gentleman had any observations to make on the terms, before he stated his own feelings on the subject i With regard to the terms them selves, he would only remark, that having, since they received them, been repeatedly in communica tion with the authorities of the: Board of Control, he thought his duty, as holding a public situation, to state that he had no hesitation in expressing his strong convi c ti on th a t it was the int en ti on of all the authorities co ncerne d i n the government of India, bond fid e , to carry tout this great undertaking, and to give every fair construction to those terms— (Cheers)—and that reasonable modification would be admitted into the subscription contract. Mr. llrrcniNs said the company now had a 51. per cent. security, without the possibility of a loss, and he heartily concurred in the general terms of the document which had been read. He moved that the terms be received and adopted, suggesting at the same time tbat the directors should reserve to themselves shares to the amount of 30,0001., for the purpose of disposing of them at a premium in remuneration for their great services. —("No, no," from the Chairman.) The CHAIRMAN replied that with regard to reserv ing shares for the purpose of disposing of them at a premium in the market, it was a proposition which the directors gratefully but decidedly declined. Mr. FLOOD rose to second the motion of Mr. iiitchins for the adoption of the terms and conditions propounded by the Court of Directors, and in so doing said he could not help being astonished at the advantageous terms which they were then con sidering. —(Applause.) Ur. kiZADZASoki said, by the 16th clause, the gua rantee of 51. per cent. was not to extend to the 1,000,0001. How, he would ask, with 1,000,0001. were they to make a profitable line ? He would also ask where the line was to be made, and what was to be done with their money ? The CHAIRMAN replied that the sum of 1,000,0001. was not rigid or inflexible; but it might be in creased, and if increased, the terms now under consi deration would be applicable to the increase precisely as at the present moment.—(Hear.) He had been asked what was to be the second terminus, Calcutta being one. The second terminus had not been defined Set ; but he could state to them that it was intended to leave the direction of the line, and the second terminus to be decided on by the Governor-General of India, both as to the length and the position, with the single ex ception, that the experimental line was defined in the direction which it was to take.—(Cheers.) Mr. R. R. DEAN briefly addressed the meeting in support of the resolution. Colonel SMITH presumed there would be a limited time within which the 21. call would be paid. The motion was then put, and agreed to without a dissentient voice. Colonel SMITH then proposed, as a resolution, that it was the opinion of the meeting that all shares on which the call of 21. shall not be paid on or before the 20th instant should be forfeited, subject to the discretion of the board in particular cases. Mr. CAATHORNE seconded the resolution, which was also carried. In answer to a question by a proprietor, The CHAIRMAN disclaimed, on the part of the direc tors, any the slightest intention to traffic in the shares of the company; and stated, that everything would be conducted in a manner as fair as the day. _ Captain HENDERSON moved, that the shareholders should be supplied with a list of the shareholders who subscribed the original capital, but this finding no seconder fell to the ground. Mr. BEAUMONT moved a vote of thanks to the directors for the energy, disinterestedness, patience, and perseverance which they had manifested in the conduct of the company's affairs, especially referring to the exertions of Mr. Macdonald Stephenson and Messrs. Freshfield. _ _ . Mr. LOVELOCK seconded the resolution, which was carried with acclamation. _ The CHAIRMAN briefly acknowledged the compli ment for himself and his brother directors, and the meeting separated. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. NORTH WALES. A special meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Guildhall Coffee-house, Mr. Chadwick in the chair. The CHAIRMMAN briefly stated that the directors were anxious to afford the shareholders every informa tion with respect to their affairs. The whole of the books would be laid before them, and it would be for those who were interested in this unfortunate project to decide what was best to be done under the circumstances. Mr. HENDERSON said, he was glad that the share holders had thus been afforded another opportunity of expressing their opinion in favour of the conduct of the directors. With a view to clear up any doubt that might exist with regard to the management of their affairs, he would move that a committee of inquiry be appointed, consisting of those shareholders who were known to bo opposed to the directors, to investigate the affairs of the company, with power to examine the di rectors, solicitor, or any other officer of the company. Mr. POWELL seconded the resolution. After some observations from Dr. WATERFIELD and Mr. BUTT, the resolution was unanimously passed, ap pointing a committee, consisting of Mr. J. Shaw (the solicitor of Mr. Archer), Mr. Norris, Mr. Crawford, Mr. Cohen, and Mr. Henderson, with full powers to investi gate the affairs of the company, and to report thereon to a:futare meeting. In reply to questions, the CHAIRMAN stated that there was nothing due to landowners, solicitors, or Parlia mentary agents; that 6001. would pay off all the liabili ties of the company. The Lord Chancellor had decided against the claim of Mr. Jackson, and it was not pro bable the latter would prosecute the suit any further. The powers of their Act to take land had ceased last July, and next July the powers to carry on the works would cease. With respect to dividing the funds in hand they acted under the advice of an eminent lawyer, Mr. Rolt, who had drawn up the deed. The difficulty was in this mode of proceeding that it required all the parties to agree to the dissolution of the company and to sign the deed. The only dissenting parties he knew were Mr. Bulkeley Hughes and Mr. Herapath. The directors would give the committee every facility in their power to make any investigation they thought proper. Thanks were voted to the chairman and the meeting separated. [PRICE SD. County Court. Govitt called upon the attorney, and told him not to pay over the money to Conybeare, as she and White hzd stolen the money from one of his drawers but in a month afterwards he called again upon the at torney and told him it was all a mistake about the rob bery, and the money was handed over by the attorney to the female defendant in the presence of Govitt, who iigned his name to the receipt for it. In a short time afterwards the two defendants went before a magistrate and made oath that White had made a false key, with which, in the presence of Conybeare, he opened one of the drawers, and told her to take out 10 sovereigns. A warrant was granted and the plaintiff was apprehended, when about 2,000 persons were present at an agricultu ral meeting. He was locked up all night, and the next day he was taken before the magistrate, who, having heard the case, dismissed it—hence the present action. The defence was a reasonable and probable cause. Ultimately a verdict was returned for the plaintiff— Damages, 1501. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Yesterday, Denis Murphy, a boy of 13 years of age, was convicted of having been detected in the act of drawing a handkerchief from the pocket of a gentleman who had been a looker-on at the Olympic Theatre conflagration. Upon being taken into custody and searched, three other silk handkerchiefs were found upon the boy, each handkerchief having a different mark upon it. The Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence, said that the c Ise of this boy was an illustration of the observations he had made to the grand jury as to no good being likely to be effected in reference to these boys until the parents were compelled to contribute towards their sup port whilst in prison. During the whole of the last three months this boy had lived entirely upon his efforts and cleverness in the streets, and his parents had been altogether freed from any expense as to his maintenance. The only fitting place for such a boy was Parkhurst; but in or3er that he should be eligible for admission into that prison it was necessary that he should be 14 years of age, then 4 feet 6 inches in height, and also a hardened rogue. Now, it chanced that this prisoner possessed but one, and that the last, of these stipulated qualifications; and thus he was not admissible. The sentence, therefore, was, that he be imprisoned for six months, with hard labour. John Jones, aged 42, a journeyman tailor, was con victed of having stolen a pair of trousers, the property of his employer, Henry Lawrence, of Brewer -street. The prisoner, on being called upon for his defence, stated that for the last nine months in order to support his family, consisting of a wife and six children, he had been compelled to make trousers for the prosecutor at the rate of 10d., Is., Is. 3d., and Is. 6d. per pair, and having done that he considered he had given the strongest proofs of his being an honest man. The prosecutor, in reply to this statement, said that the prisoner had supplicated him in the most piteous manner to give him work, and, therefore, out of charity he had at length consented to let him have a description of work which was usually allotted to women. The prisoner—That's a lie; for I made the very best double superfine trousers for Is. 4d. a pair. —(Laughter.) The Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence, said that he had no doubt but that up to the commission of this act the prisoner had been an honest man, and that the small prices he had received from the prosecutor not being sufficient to enable him to sustain the calls 'of his family, his integrity had broken down. He should sen tence him, under the circumstances, to one month's im prisonment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARY LEBONE. Mr. Robert Clavering Savage, a person of very large property, driving his four-in-hand, and who has at least fourteen horses, together with carriages of different de scriptions, and Caroline Langdon, a smartly-dressed woman, were charged before Mr. Broughton upon war rants which had been obtained against them for assaults. Mr. Pelham appeared on the part of the complainants, modest looking girls, named Susan Smith and Mary Clay ton. The Learned Gentlemen stated at some length the particulars of the case, and his statement was borne out by evidence, which went, to show that Savage had for years past occupied extensive premises in Wellington place, St. John's-wood, and that on the 23d of January last Mr. Clarke, a respectable person, who then lived in Caroline-street, Camden-town, and had known him (Savage) for more than twenty years, bad acceded to Savage's proposition, and with his wife went to his (the male defendant's) house with two young female servants, with an understanding that he was to be boarded and properly attended to in every respect, at the rate of 121. 10s. per month for a year certain ; there was also a stipulation th at no female "friends" of Mr. Savage should be allowed to reside in the house, more particularly as regarded Caroline Langdon. Savage had, however, in the early part of last week, sent for her, and both of the defendants not only committed assaults upon the female domestics, but perpetrated acts of a most disgusting nature in their pre sence. The acts committed cannot be particularked, being quite unfit to meet the public eye; suffice it to state that the worthy magistrate, Mr. Broughton, after hear ing evidence which occupied his attention nearly two hours, came to the conclusion that a more gruss case of profligacy had never come before him, and the sentence which he felt himself bound to pass upon the defendants was, that each should pay a penalty of Si., or be impri soned in the House of Correction for two months; in addition to which he should call upon Mr. Savage to enter into his own recogninnee in 500/, and to find two sureties in 1001. each (with 24 hours' notice), for his keeping the peace and being of good behaviour for the ensuing six months. He was then locked up. The penalty upon the woman was paid. W ORSHIP- STREET. Michael Alexander Bailey, in the service of a master carman named Clare, in Mitchell -street, St. Luke's, was charged with obtaining po.session of a large quantity of malt from the goods' department of the Easter Counties Railway, under false pretences. The prisoner was ordered to be remanded for a week for the completion of the evidence, the Magistrate con senting to accept substantial bail for his future appearance. DIVISION OF PROFITS.

EXTENSION OF THE SOUTH-WESTERN INTO WINDSOR. The Admiralty have given their assent to the pro posed extension line from Richmond to Windsor, on con dition that with a view to prevent any obstruction to the navigation of the Thames, the navigable channel be crossed by bridges of one span, with as much headway as the limits of deviation will allow. The point in ques tion is a spot about three-quarters of a mile below Windsor- bridge. OPENING OF THE SHROPSHIRE UNION. The line between Shrewsbury and Stafford, a chief portion of the Shropshire Union Railway, is now com pleted, and will be opened for public traffic in May. Experimental trips have been made between the termini by the engineers and directors. The line is 30 miles, running through a rich agricultural country, and conti guously to the coal and iron-works of the Duke of Sutherland between Newport and Wellington. It ac commodates Houghton, Gnossall, Newport, Donning ton, Hadley, Lilleshall, Walcot, and other places. The total cost of construction will . be 500,000 L, including one-fourth part of the contribution towards the construc tion of the central station at Shrewsbury, built con jointly by this company, the Shrewsbury and Birming ham, Shrewsbury and Hereford, and Shrewsbury and Chester, at a cost of 100,0001.

This bankrupt was a pawnbroker in Fetter-lane, and a sharebroker in Tbrogmorton-street. This was a meet ing for the last examination. The balance-sheet has the following items:—Creditors unsecured, 18,385/4 creditors holding security, 6,5411.; liabilities, 4,2151.; liability creditors holding security, 4601. ; capital, 1,811/. ; profits, 12,9001.; good debts, 4011.; doubtful debts, 2,3451.; property, 6,2761.; property in the hands of creditors, 5,0001.; bad debts, 2,452/.; losses, 6,921/. ; trade expenses, 12,451/ ; domestic, 3,3144 There was no opposition to the bankrupt's passing on the part of the creditors; but Mr. EDWARDS, the official assignee, called his Honour's attention to the fact that whereas the bankrupt had during a portion of his mercantile career kept two separate and distinct mercantile establishments, the one in Fetter-lane and the other in Throgmorton•street, the balance-sheet was exclusively made up from the books kept in Fetter-lane. A deficiency of 4,6001. appeared to have been carried from the business in Fetter-lane to that in Throgmorton-street, but the bankrupt having destroyed the books and accounts he had kept in the latter place of business, this deficiency of 4,6001. was en tirely unexplained, and there was no statement whatever of his trading as a stockbroker. The COMMISSIONER allowed the bankrupt to pass, stating, however, that the question as to the destruction of the books was a very serious one, and would be dealt with when Brown came up for his certificate. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Taunton, April 9. (Before Mr. Justice WILLIAms.) WHITE V. GOVITT AND CoNYBEARE. Mr. Sergeant Kirglakc and Mr. Ball were counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Crowder, Mr. Cockburn, and Mr. M. Smith for the defendants. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover damages in consequence of the defendant Govitt having caused him to be arrested and imprisoned on a charge of felony. The plaintiff was a carpenter, the defendant Govitt was a farmer, and the defendant Mary Cony beare was bis housekeeper. It appeared that the plaintiff worked occasionally at the house of Govitt, paid his addresses to the female defendant, and promised to marry . her. She told the plaintiff she had 201. which she wished to place out at interest, and it was arranged that the money should be lent to the plaintiff, and it was banded over to him. Some time after this the plaintiff discovered that Mary Conybeare was in the family-way, and t h e plaintiff upon that broke off the ac. quaintance between himself and her. She then em ployed an attorney to sue White for the DlOney LA the RICHMOND. Lydia Dixon, a tiealllllady . like-looking young woman, was brought before the Richmond bench, charged with shoplifting. The prisoner was described on the police charge sheet as a teacher of music, residing in the Lower-road, Richmond. On Saturday night, about half-past eight o'clock, G. Woods, 209 V, a very efficient officer, was coming down the Church-passage into George street, when he observed the prisoner standing under the portico of Messrs. Briant and Field's shop, who are linendrapers. There was considerable property deposited there, and amongst other goods was a piece of huckaback, which proved to measure 65 yards. lie saw the prisoner, who was apparently intent upon the show in the window, give one glance round as if to assure herself she was not observed, and then momentarily secrete the huckaback under her shawl; the parcel was so long that it pro truded considerably above her shoulder. Tho prisoner had got into George-street, and was walking away from the shop, when catching sight of the constable, she ran back towards the shop, and when taxed with the theft, she said she was going to take it in to ask the price, When apprehended the prisoner made a desperate re sistance, and it was as much as Mr. Field, ono of the partners, and the constable, could do to get her to the station. On passing through the passage to the charge room she contrived to break away some portion of her dress in front. and down fell a cpacious pocket, capable of containing at least half a dozen dresses, and in it at that time were a cashmere dress and six lace collars. In her apartments was found an immense quantity of pro perty of almost every description, consisting of dresses in cashmere, woollen plaids, merinos, watered silks, and cottons, furs, rolls of French and satin ribbons, cards of lace, silk and kid gloves, silk neckerchiefs, bonnets, se veral pairs of ladies' boots and French clogs, two valuable shawls, a bottle of ginger wine, and three enamelled sauce pans, besides numerous other articles of trifling value. Strange to state, on all these stolen articles the private mark of the tradesmen had been suffered to remain, and through the exertions of Inspector Beard the greater part of the property has been identified. No pawn broker's duplicates were found, but several disguises wsre observed, consisting of a dark brown wig, with the hair made to fall in curls at the back, t light brown front in bards, and an auburn front, with short curls; the prisoner's hair is binek. There was also a shawl, with one side woollen and the other silk, and a cardi nal cloak fitted with capacious pockets. From papers found it was ascertained that the prisoner is the daughter of a once eminent solicitor, now deceased, and the mother is, or was, one of th e candidates for the " National Be nevolent Institution." A pianoforte and other musical instruments were in the prisoner's :owns. The prisoner did not offer any defence, she might not be sent to prison, as it would assuredly kill her. but entreated of that previously, and remanded her that further Sir T. N.

Males Females ... ... 647 ... 578 Total ... ...1,225 *ln this number are included 5 cases of death by Cholera, 39,by Scarlatina, and 38 by Typhus Fever. The return of the Registrar-General of births and deaths in the metropolis during the week ending on Saturday last shows the number of deaths from all causes to be 994, being 31 more than the weekly average of five springs. The return, however. shows that the public health improves with the progress of the early months, and that the mortality has fallen to the rate of that of October. The fatal causes of cholera are thus given : Kensington ; town.—F. 28, " malignant cholera, and not injuries by violence alleged to have been done to her" —inquest. St. Martin-in-the-Fields ; Charing-cross.— F. 38, "cholera spasmodica (10 hours)." Mr. Leonard, the registrar states that " the deceased was reported as a charwoman, but in fact was an unfortunate female of intemperate habits, brought to the work house at 6 P.m. on the 7th inst., in a state of collapse. The house-surgeon and assistant gave immediate at tendance, and at half-past 9 the district surgeon also: death occurred at 10 P.m. On the morning of Easter Sunday the District Officer of Health visited the house, No. 5, Hanover -court, Long Acre, and reported it to be a ' house of accommodation.' In a small yard about 4 feet by 10 feet is a deep cesspool, not sufficiently protected, and very offensive. The under part of the house re ceives the dust and refuse; and the drain-water from the small yard runs in a pipe into the cellar, and is caught in a tub or butt. The rooms. which are two on a floor, are cleanly kept. The two officers of health visited this house on the '26th of August last year, and from notes then taken I find that over a surface of about 6,480 square feet there is no surface drainage, or very insuffi cient; that the cesspool of the above house had been emptied about the 17th of July of the same year, and that there appeared to be no drain. The next house has also arrangements of the very worst possible description." St. Pancras, Camden-town.—M. 34, " Asiatic cholera, active symptoms (18 hours) ; continued fever (three days)." Mr. Barth, medical attendant, states, that " all the symptoms of Asiatic cholera were well marked in the patient, except cramps, which were very partial, and restricted to the upper extremities.

THE MURDER IN BLACKFRIARS- ROAD. Yesterday evening, Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, held an inquest on the body of Henry Lambsill, aged 23, who was stabbed in a scuffle in Blackfriars-road. The jury, having been sworn, proceeded to view the body and returned. George lierriman, a watch-glass maker, residing in Broadwall, stated that he was in company with the de deased from 12 o'clock on Sunday night until about *2 in the morning. They first met at a public-house called the Mitre, and a man named Bailey was present. There were also some other persons present. No quarrelling occurred there, and they proceeded to the Duke of York tavern, in Blackfriars• road. A dispute there arose be • tween Bailey and the deceased, with reference to a small sum of money lent by Bailey to the deceased—Bailey demanding, and the deceased refusing, payment.. On leaving the tavern with the rest, witness crossed the road to York-street, leaving the deceased and Bailey together. Almost immediately after witness heard the deceased er3 out " George, he has stabbed me," and he then ob served Lambsill coming towards him, and saw him fall as soon as he reached the centre of the road. Witness raised him, and a woman named Mary Taylor, who came up with them, unfastened his shirt. There was a small stream of blood running down his side. A man named Parker then raised an alarm, and Bailey was taken into custody. The deceased was placed in a cab and con veyed to the hospital. Joseph Parker corroborated this evidence, stating in addition that he gave Bailey into the custody of the police. Bailey asked why witness collared him, and he replied that he did so because he had stabbed Lambsill. lie said, " No, I have not;" but he offered no resist ance. Witness afterwards knelt down and examined the deceased. There was a hole through his coat, waist coat, and shirt, and he was bleeding from a small wound in his side. Saw two small clasp-knives taken. from Bailey's pockets by the policeman. A relative of the deceased, who seemed much af fected during the proceedings, asked the witness if the deceased had quarrelled with any other person whilst at • ,he Mitre? The witness said that he had not. James Murray supported the statement of Herriman, adding that on the road from the Mitre to the Duke of York the deceased used some offensive terms to a young man passing. Some words arose, and an offer was made to back the young man, whose name was Denman, to fight the deceased for ss. The deceased had not got 55., and Bailey thereupon gave him that sum, but no fight took place. In consequence of Bailey's insisting upon the money being returned, the fatal quarrel took place. None of the party were sober at the time. Bailey was very much intoxicated. Sohn Meek, 48 M division, stated that on hearing cries of " Murder!" and " Police!" he ran to the corner of Charlotte-street, and saw the deceased bleeding on the ground. Bailey was pointed out to him as having " done it," and witness collared him and said, " Have you got a knife?" He said " No—yes. I have one in my right hand pocket." He then attempted to secrete something in his breast. Witness put his hand in his breast, and there found a small knife open, and the blade turned downwards. Did not observe any blood upon it. There was another knife in his coat pocket. The knife was here handed round. It was a long narrow blade, about three inches long, and seemed just the sort of weapon to have inflicted the very small but deep puncture in the breast of the deceased. Mary Ts') for stated that the deceased lived with her. On Sunday night or Monday morning she was in the Blackftiars-road. She went out for the purpose of watching Lambsill, who was then tipsy. She saw him walk with Bailey. She saw Lambsill tall, and on going up she saw blood flowing from his breast. She said, " Don't let him go, he has stabbed him." Bailey said he did not want to go. A policeman then collared him, and took an open clap knife out of his breast-coat pocket. Witness went into the cab with them. Deceased sighed and rolled his eyes when the cab reached the Borough, and she observed to a man who was also inside the cab, " He's dying now, I think." Mr. Isaac Coggins stated that on Monday moming,at ten minutes past two o'clock. .the deceased was brought to St. Thomas's Hospital in a cab, and witness was called. There was a small black wound on the left breast between the fifth and sixth ribs, over the region of the heart. He was quite dead. There was a small em quantity of bloodbwl blade uel, dfo o .:.th u he t outside i e d ew jury-Whoe t r h e e o w n o l y un t d h . r A killedq questions thistti omma examination was mode the same day.

The decessed could not have inflicted the wound himself from the di. rection it took: it must have been inflicted by a thrust, and not a blow. There was no scuffle or blow which could have caused the use of this weapon in self defence, and it would become their duty to consider whether, under these circumstances, the striking a man with knife in the left breast, when there was every reason to believe that death must follow the blow, did not amount to murder. Had the deceased struck with his fist, it would have been a provocation ; but would even that circumstance warrant this determined use of a deadly weapon to return it ? tinder all the circumstances, he thought that the crime could not be returned as man slaughter, and it was for them to decide whether this man ought not to be put upon his trial on the capital . _ charge. - The jury immediately returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against William Bailey. The witnesses were then bound over to prosecute. CITY SEWERS COMMISSION —Yesterday being Easter Tuesday. the Commissioners of Sewers for the city of London did not transact any public business.
