Sir IL PEEL said he deeply regretted to say, not merely for its commercial effect, that he had reason to believe that the accounts with respect to the French ordinance; were founded in fact. The accounts which had been received were extremely brief, but they were in conformity with those which had ap peared in the public Journals. It was not true, he believed that the Prussian Lea g ue had raised the duty on cotton wool ; at least he earnestly hoped that the reports on that subject were entirely without foundation. Lord NVOILSLEY said that if it had been intimated at the last election that the present Government would act upon the principles of free trade they would not have received such ex tensive support.. They had gone much further than the late Government, and they were supported iu their measures by those who had formerly opposed free trade. Mr. M. GIBSON said the great ,principle after all—and it was that principle for which the late Corn. law League contended_ was that they should be allowed to buy corn and all other articles at the cheapest market. He had been a good deal amongst commercial men, and he had found a great progress of opinion on this subj,ct. He believed that great progress had Ewen made, and would still be made, by the assistance of lec turers to be sent into different yarts of the country.—(" Oh I oh !") No man conic! subscribe to a mere useful ohject than that of sending lecturers throughout the country, to impress upon it those principles upon which the Riglit Hon. Baronet at the head of the f,:overi,ment, and the Minister of their choice, bad founded his measures. He would assure the House that the events of the last few months had given great encouragement to the Anti-Corn-law League. The SPEAKER then put the question that the Bill do pass, which was agreed to. BRITISH POSSESSIONS ABROAD RILL. On the Order of the Day for the third reading of the British Pcssessions Abroad Bill being read, Mr. L A BOUCHERE rose to move, pursuant to notice, "to continue the exemption from duty on wheat-flour im ported into Canada." He said he would not detain the House at any length. The law, as it at present stood, allowed the im port of all articles duty free from the United States into Canada. That law had been introduced by his lamented friend Lord Sydsnham. One of the advantages arising from it wag the reduction of Customs' establishments on the borders of Canada. He was, therefore, much surprised, when h e found that the present Bill, which was generally a Bill of relaxation, proposed that the law which had worked so well should be altered. lie did not ask the House to make any new law, but all he desired was that the House should not sanction a new law in the direction of restriction. He hoped Honourable Gentlemen would attend to the one argument urged by the Government, and that the House would 'agree with him that an exemption which continued for ten years ought not to be done away with. The Right Hon. Gentleman then moved that the exemption from duty on wheat flour imported into Canada be continued. The clause was then brought up, and having been read a second time, Mr. GL ADSTONE said that the House would not expect him to go at length into the subject after the decision to which the House had already come. With regard to the argument which the Right Hon. Gentleman thought so little of, he eon sideted it was valid so far as it went, though it was not one of practical importance. The rules which applied to their colo nies ought to be carried out equally and impartially, and it was an important consideration in itself that those rules should not be relaxed for particular purposes. To adopt the clause of the Right Hon. Gentleman would not only be a hardship upon Newfoundland, but on all the West India Colonies. if the en trance of flour into those colonies was taxed, and if at the same time exporting colonies were allowed to receive. it duty free, under the cover of differential duties, it would be, great hard ship on those colonies. He should therefore oppose the clause. Mr. HUTT considered the Bill of the Right Hon. Gentle man would tend to establish a Corn-law in America. It was not proposed for the purposes of revenue, but for the purposes of excluding flour from Canada, and if it were pro posed to devise some means by which the population of a colony could be made extremely small, and by which its local and economical relations would be most disturbed, those objects would be best secured by the present The House then divided, when there appeared— For the clause For the amendment Majority against Mr. Labouchere's motion --77 On our re-admission to the gallery, we found, Mr. MILNER GIBSON on his legs, moving the omission of the clause, imposing a ten per cent. ad valorem duty on foreign sugar, refined in bond, and expo r ted from England to any of our colonial possessions. The Right Hon. Gentleman had distinctly stated that it was not his intention to place any duty on articles imported into the colonies into the produce of which British labour entered. The British Parliament had no right to lay duties on articles imported into the colonies for the purposes of revenue, but merely for the purpose of regulating commerce. The Right rlon. Gentle man had laid down that principle, and acting on it, he had re pealed all the Acts imposing duties on artieles of British manu factures imported into the colonies. Now, sugar refined in bond in this country was undoubtedly an article of British manufacture. The imposing this duty was acting contrary to the spirit of the Declaratory Act. It would, besides, be pre judicial to the West India planters, who would not be able to replace the sugar sent to this country at so low a cost as he did at present. It would, moreover, be very injurious to the sugar refiners of this country; for these reasons he should move that the clause be struck out of the Bill. Mr. GLADSTONE did not consider the Declaratory Act alluded to at all affecting the question. 'I he duty of twenty per cent., which, under the old law, was only a nominal protec tion, would be, under the prapesed law, a real protection. All the parties with whom he had communicated, and who were connected with the sugar refining trade, were satisfied with the proposed arrangement. Mr. HUME considered the Government proposition a new tax, for which there was no reason, and he therefore would sup port the proposition of his Hon Friend. Mr. LABOUCHERE did not see that the proposition of the Right lion. Gentleman opposite ate all altered the condition of the British and colonial refiners. After a short conversation the House divided, when the num bers were— For the clause Against it Majority The clause was then agreed to, and the Bill read a third time and passed.

It was established . in 1813, avid since that time thousands have thrilled with de light at the magnificent treats of harmony tt has set before them : it is, therefore, surely to be hoped that it will not be allowed to expire without a strenuous effort, on the part of the profession, to prevent its fall. Uut of eight of its season concerts, ~there have been no less than three new symphonies : one by Mohque, one by Spohr, and one by Mendelssohn Bar tholdy. NOT A BAD HIT.—A gentleman expatiated on the justice and propriety of an hereditary nobility. "Is it not right," said he, " in order to hand down to posterity the vir tues of those men who have been eminent for their services to the country, that their posterity should enjoy the honours con ferred on them as a reward for such services ?" -- By the I saute rule," said a lady, " if a man is ,hatiged fur his misdeeds, all his Mierity should be hanged toe., THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 29, 1842. AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE .STEAM-SHIP COLUMBIA IN NINE DAYS. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY, ONE P.M. At an early hour this morning, the steam-ship Columbia, Captain Judkins, was announced off this port, after the most extraordinary passage ever made from the United States to England. She sailed from Boston on the night of the 16th, and from Halifax (where she remained to take in the Canadian mails) on the night of the 18th, thus completing the voy age from Boston to Liverpool in 11 days and 10 hours. including a stoppage of six hours at Halifax. The arrival of the Columbia puts us in possession of papers from New York to the 16th inst., Boston to the 17th, and Halifax to the 19th. The Britannia, another of the steamers of this rapid fleet, arrived at Halifax in eleven days, and would reach Boston in thirteen days. The whole manage ment of this line of mail steam-ships reflects the greatest credit upon the very able superintendents, Messrs. M'lver and Co. of Liverpool. By the activity of these gentlemen on the present occasion, the North American flails brought by the Columbia were landed at the earliest possible mo ment, and despatched to London by express, seven hours in advance of the ordinary conveyance. On this, as well as on many other previous occasions' we are indebted to the Directors of the London and Birmingham Railway Companies, for theirso promptly granting an especial conveyance through to London, which was performed with the greatest ease and safety by our Express Messenger, who accomplished the journey front Liverpool to London in little more than six hours. The following extracts compose the only articles of interest•by this arrival : NORTH-EASTERN Bo UNDA RY.—The Commissioners from Maine: and Massachusetts are now all in Washing ton. The Commission has been organised, and it is ex pected that the deliberations will be closed in five or six weeks. In the House of Representatives, the Apportionment Bill was taken up, and by a vote of 161 to 50, the second amendment made to it by the Senate- was rejected. The House refusing to concur in any of the amendments, the Bill, as it originally passed, was sent back to the Senate. THE TARIFF QUESTION.—On motion of Mr. Fillmore, a resolution was passed, 112 to 96, to take the question at two o'clock, on the Tariff Bill, extending the present laws to the Ist of August. The subject was debated by Mr. Gilmer and Mr. W. Cost Johnson, the latter of whom was speaking when the mail closed. Jenom TEXAS.—President Houston has convened a special sitting of Congress for the 27th June. Judge Terrell, the Attorney-General, has been sent to the East to concentrate the troops in that section. Two Mexicans were recently captured on the other side or Corpus Christi and brought to Galveston. They were well treated and immediately liberated by General Houston. FROM 111Exico.—New Orleans papers of the Ist inst. announce the arrival of thirteen more Santa Feans, late prisoners in Mexico, but liberated through the interpo sition of the British Minister, the French Minister, and the Prussian Consul. It was reported at Vera Cruz that the President, Santa Ana, was about to liberate all the prisoners—find ing the expense of feeding and the trouble of guarding them rather inconvenient. FROM FLORIDA.-011 the 19th of May a Mrs. Da niells and her fire children were killed two miles south of the natural bridge on the Santa Fe ; and on the 20th, still further south, two men were waylaid and put tc death. On the night of the Ist inst. the house of a Mr. Ro binson, in Jefferson county, just beyond the Ocilla, was attacked by a party, of Indians, supposed to be 50 in number. Mr. Robinson's mother and four others of his family were killed, and the house plundered. Fiton 11ANTE—At Port au Prince the Legislature have, on the r , commendation of the President of Idayti, passed a law exempting from the payment of taxes the inhabitants of the districts devastated by the earthquake. CAPE lIATTIEN.—The disorders that prevailed in this unfortunate city in ruins, of which we hare before heard so much complaint, have been consummated by the pil lage, or rather theft of the public treasure, which had been hitherto preserved, it is said, by a guard. Letters announce the conflagration of the rest of the houses overturned, and not before burned. The first fire con sutned only a quarter of the city, and was extinguished by rain. Generals Obas and Monscardy have gone thither with instructions from the President to establish order, The proclamation of the President; dated May 18th, after alluding to the facts of the earthquake, says. "This immense calamity h as t orn m y ver y heart. Wherefore have I yet to regret excesses which are come in to aggravate the measure ?" ST. :i;ioo.—Letters from this unfortunate city con firm the sad news of the overturning of all the bans( s built with masonry, and of all the public edifices. About two hundred persons have perished. The earthquake was perceived at the same time as at Cape Haiti(n. New shocks, very strong, having continued through the night and the following days. The rest of the population removed a half league ftour the city. At the first mo ment of this strong convulsion of the earth, the river Yaque was seen to go up towards its source, and to di vide in two parts, leaving a dry passage iu its bed ; then to descend with astonishing impetuosity. Tho excesses committed here by the prisoners who escaped in consequence of the full of the prisons, arc deplorable. St. J ago is described as a very flourishing city, that had just begun to acquire the prosperity due to industry. _ _ _ ST. Dbutsco.—The powerful shock experienced here was preceded by a terrible noise coming from the East. The fine Cathedral, commenced in 1514, and finished in 1540, had resisted every earthquake, especially those of 1684 and 1691. But it was considerably injured by that of the 7th inst. The sea was excessively agi tated near the harbour. The injnry experienced by the Cathedral occasioned the fear of its fall ; on which ac count the Vicar-General Portez thought proper to take away the holy sacrament, and carry it to the church St. Dominick, and afterwards to a barrack constructed in haste.

THE COUNTY OF SUSSEX. The match between eight gentlemen and three players of the Marylebone Club, and four gentlemen and seven players selected from the several districts of the county of Sussex, was commenced at Lord's on Monday, and terminated yesterday afternoon in favour of the latter by a majority of 145 runs. This is the first &feat the Marylebone Club has sustained this season, and it is to be attributed solely to their being overmatched, they having enly the advantage of Hillyer, Barker, and Bay ley, while the eleven of the County included the following seven "crack" players :--Box (one of the finest wicket keepers in the kingdom), Lillywhite, Dean, llillyard, Hodson, Hawkins, and Picknell. The match attracted each day a very large assemblage of spectators, including th e l ea di ng mem b ers o f t h e Marylebone Club and other metropolitan, suburban, and provincial clubs, and comprising most of the Oxford and Cambridge (University) elev e ns. Among other noblemen and gentlemen of high rank and distinction, we noticed the Marquis of Exeter, Earl of Vernlam, Earl of Aboyne, E ar l o f M arc h, Earl of Winterton, Viscount Drumlanrig, Vis count Folkstone, Lord H. Loftus, Lord W. Beresford, Lord F. Beauclerc, Lord M. Hill, Lord E. Hill, the Hon. F. Ponsonby, the Hon. S. Ponsonby, the Hon. R. Grim stone, and the lion. A. Grimstone. At the commencement of the game, the betting was 5 to 4 in favour of the County, with plenty of takers, but after each eleven had played their first innings, the odds increased to 3 to 1, without, however, any dicrease in the number of takers. The Club placed their best men at the principal stations in the field as follows :—Sir Frederick Ba thurst, cover point ; Mr. Nicholson; point ; Ky naston, long stop; Mr. Thackerery, long field at the leg; Bayley and liillyer, bowlers. The County thus dis posed of their players :—Hawkins, point ; Millyard, long stop ; Mr. C. Taylor, cover point ; Picknell, slip ; Box (wicket-keeper) ; Mr. Ponsonby, as the substitute of Mr. Lan ;don (long field at the leg) ; Lillywhite a nd Dean (bowlers). The County, having won the toss, went in first. Box displayed some very splendid batting, and cleared thirty nine runs, with two fours, six threes, a two, and eight ones. Picknell twelve, with a four, twice two, and four ones. Mr. Langdon ten, with a four and six ones, and Hodson eight, with a four, a . three, and a one. The Club then took the field, Bayley and Mr. Thac kerny obtaining the majorit\ of runs, the former marking nineteen, with two fours, two threes, a two, and three ones ; and the latter fifteen, with a five, a four, twice two, and two ones. In the second innings of the County Mr. Taylor exhi bited some very scientific batting, scoring n o l ess th an sixty runs, with a siT, a five, a four, three threes, eight twos, and twenty ones. Dean nineteen, with a five, twice two, and ten ones. Hodson sixteen, with a five, a three, a two, and six ones ; and Box sixteen, with a four, a three, twice two, and five ones. In the second innings of the Club, Sir Frederick Bathurst mAde fifteen, with two threes, twice two, and five ones ; Air. Thackeray seven, with a four, a two, and a one ; Mr. Kynaston live, with a three and two ones. The fielding of both sides was excellent, and the bowling of Lillywhite and Dean, and of Bayley and Ilillycr was greatly admired. Dean, in each innings of the Club, lowered four wickets ; and in the second innings of the County, no less than six out of eleven wickets were bowled out by Subjoined is a copy of the score : stISSEX.

We have been looking through the more important of Sir Robert Pea's speeches in which the existing Pour-law is men tioned. The result is a distinct conviction that the general expectation of the Conservative public that he Mould acquiesce in important alterations or modifications of that law must have bees founded on the opinion that he would, in some degree, forego his own individual judgment, in order to concur with what may be called the popular sentiment of his party. Per haps this was an opinion which the public bad no right to en tertain. The facts, however, seem to be these—first, that Conservative candidates and electors did very generally appear to entertain the notion that the establishment of a Conserva.. ti‘e Government would lead to alterations of the Poor-law in a direction towards greater generosity and kindness to the poor ; and secondly, that the Right Hon. Baronet, to whom they all looked as the head of any Conservative Government that might be formed, had uniformly and emphatically stated his own individual opinion to be altogether in favour of the Poor-law as framed and carried into execution by the Whig inisters. For ourselves—considering the praiseworthy feeling in which Conservative objections to the Whig Poor-law had their rise, and that these objections were looked on by the common people as an evidence of kindness towards them—we do not think there was anythiug preposterous in the opinion that Sir R. Peel might give up to some extent his own judgment in favour of the Poor-law, and act upon the less favourable judg ment of an immense bo dy of his supporters. But as to his own judgment, we find it had been frequently most clearly expressed, and most decidedly in favour of the Whig law. In the commencement of the Parliamentary Session in 1840, a motion declaratory of want of confidence in Ministers was submitted to the House of Commons by Sir J. Y. Buller. In the course of the debate upon that motion, the Conserva tive leaders, and the party generally, were often taunted with having lent themselves to what was called the Anti-Poor-law Agitation. Referring to this, in his speech at the close of the debate, Sir R. Peel said:— " Mark my answer : to the Poor-law I gave my support, and so tar from showing any tendency to obstruct that or any other 'useful measure, if I had not taken the part I did with respect to the Poor-law Bill, with its good provisions, you would not have had the remotest chalice of carryi ng i t. ), Here, then, it appears that the Ri g ht Hon . Baronet claimed to be not only a supporter of the law, but to h ave been mainly instrumental in causing the law to exist. The Right Hon, Baronet then p roceeded to say : " But an accusation has been made mthuch more directly again s s u t p th po e rte b d y means of declaring my opinions els e where, but was ready to profit at the elections by the outcry that had been rais e d aga i ns t thethe N voo ob r le -la Lord win o Mo se r , pe ), that, a ft er I hadl took no e ff ee t ua l it. To this charge I give a flat contradiction, and I will prove that contradiction in such a way that it is impossible it can be refuted. Now, what occurred on the hustings at the elec tion of 1837? This was at the commeneement of the outcry against t he new Poor-law, an d at my election I was taunted with supporting that Bill. Did I shelter myself under any equivocation? Did I content myself with a silent approbation of this Bill? What coarse could any man take —what more effectual means than I did with my constituents, in st a ti ng m y opinion on this subject, and explaining the. share that belonged to me in the support of that measure? The election at the borough which 1 represent wasinnong the first that took place. and in the course of my address to my constituents, I said, Without the aid so rendered to the Government by Conser. vatives the institutions of the country would have been over whelmed with danger.' A person cried out, ' Yen supported the Poor-law Bill.' I answered that I admitted it —that I had supported the Poor-law Bill, and further, that my opinions on the subject of that enactment remained unchanged. I said that I regarded the mere reduction in the amount of the rate as one cf the smallest advantages of that measure ; but I valued it because I saw in it the means of improving the moral condi tion of the poor, and that I Was convinced it mould tend to a beneficial result as regarded the poor, but I should be very glad to see any hardships in it corrected. " Could I have declared mysel f more explicitly on the hust ings that when I said that I believed the effect of the measure would be to raise the character o f the poorer classes, and pro mote the welfare of the public , Did I shrink then in the country from taking upon myself the share of responsibility that devolved upon me as a supporter of that Bill? I have had this accusation urged against ine for the last two years, that I had siiently allowed or encouraged the agitation against the Poor-law to go on for the purpose of getting votes. I have taken no notice of this charge but in my place in this House, and I have, on the proper occasion, in this place, never dis guised my approbation of that measure. Therefore, the charge of the Noble Lord against me—that I took no effectual steps to discountenance the agitation was without foundation, for be fore my constituents 1 was ready to take my full share of re sonsibility. To this opinion I mean to adhere, and I ant wil ling to take my full share of unpopularity for that measure. I believe that the main enactments of that Bill are wise and beneficial, although there may be something harsh in some of its clauses ; but on this account to retrace our steps, and re store the old order and system of Poor-laws, would be utterly inconsistent, and contrary to anything like sound legislation." All this was said in January, 1840, Sir Robert Peel appear ing to be then under the same strange impression—if we may be permitted so to call it—which he is now, that they who ex pressed indignation against the New Poor-law, wished to re turn to all the abuses of the old. Well, the resolution against the Government proposed in January, 1840, was not successful. Things went on until six teen months afterwards, when Government proposed what Sir R. Peel called their foul-weather Budget—his opinion being that they had two Budgets ready, of which one or other was to be us: d according to circumstances, and that the more despe rate was chosen because their circumstances were desperate. On the •?7th May, 1841, a motion of want of confidence in Ministers was again submitted to the House by Sir R. Peel, and on the 4th of June the Right Hon. Baronet replied to the arguments which had been urged against his motion. He then contemplated, as did every one else, his return to office, and he then spoke of the New Poor-law as one of the improvements which he should find established, nor did he quality this with one word of doubt as to the satisfactory working of the law. He said— " I should find on being restored to power that we, who left a clear surplus of two millions of revenue—that we, who in three years reduced twenty millions of the debt, as well as re ducing the interest one million annually, must deal Nish a deficit of eight milions on an administration of five years ! True I should find reforms ; true I should find a Poor-law ; true I should find a Jamaica constitution of a defective nature but for our recommendations; true I should find an amend ment on the Canada Bill, which was said to be, if adopted, fatal to the Bill, nay to the Government; and which, notwith standing the prediction of the Noble Lord, did not in the least impair the vitality of the Government. Among all these dis coveries which 1 should have to make, my satisfaction would be somewhat abated on observing the melancholy state of the finances, with a deficiency of 7,600,000/." Here again, then, up to the very eve of the late general elec tion, it must be allowed that the declarations of the individual opinion of Sir It. Peel were strongly in favour of the existing Poor-law, and yet it is not the less true that the declarations of his party generally to the constituencies in the country were not in its favour ; but neither were they in favour of wholly abandoning the new law, and returning to all the abuses of the old. They looked to a revision of the new law, and the omission of certain parts of it which were—or were supposed to be—con ducive to harshness, and the production of needless misery. The question then occurs, whether the Conservative party should be true to the general understanding with their consti tuents., or to the general respect which they owe to the fixed opinion of their leader ? Its our estimation this is one of the cases in which lie should be more inclined to give way to them, than they to him. At all events, their first duty is to see that their own promises to the people, expressed or implied, be faithfully performed. We can see no hope of good in political society unless the common people generally defer to the better judgment and the good feeling of their superiors in station— and the continuance of such deference would he much endan gered if any promise held out to the people were not faithfully maintained.— Morning Post. 1,000 Dols Indiana ditto.. 20 Shares Mecha tiles Bank 63 10 ditto Bank of America B5 11 Delaware and Hudson 92 15 ditto Ohio Lire and Trust 20 ditto Jefferson Insurance Co. 15 ditto N.

It is hardly possible, under present circumstances, to give a correct quotation for New Orleans, as everything is at present so uncertain ; the two or three banks which held out at the last accounts may be able to weather the storm, and if so, exchange will soon get to its legitimate stand ; bank notes are at a ruinous discount.

LOUIS, MOBILE.--It appears that the shin plasters BLACKWALL RAILWAY. A special general meeting of the Proprietors of this Com pany was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street, for the purpose of empowering the Directors to raise the sum of 66,0001. The Or/111MA N of the Board of Directors presided, and the advertisement calling the meeting, having been read, the Chair man submitted a resolution to the meeting, empowering the Directors to raise the sum of 66,0001. by loan or mortgage. Mr. LEVY said he thought that the fares by the Blackwell I Railway were much too low. He did not mean to submit any motion on the subject, but he thought if they were to lay on a penny more on each person, it would form a great revenue, and it would not be felt by the public, as it would be no more than they ought to pay . for their accommodation. He was sure the gentlemen comprising the Directors, were men of business, and would take the subject into their serious consideration, as from the present rate of fares the Company was deriving no benefft. tie CHAIRMAN hoped he need not tell Mr. Levy that the subject had engaged the deep attention of the Directors. The subject was one that could not be entertained then, or he would have been most happy to have stated the reasons why they could not recommend an increae in the rate of fares. An op portunity- would, however, occur at the meeting in August, and he should then be happy to go into the subject fully, which would not be at the present time prudent. i%lr. Sergeant GAZELEE said, that although he could not soy that he was surprised, yet ho was disappointed that the Direc tors had brought forward that proposition. They would pro bably remember that when they went to Parliament he stated his tears that they would be called upon to vote a greater sum of money. He was then honoured by the Chairman, who said there Was no pleasing the Hon. Pi oprietors, saying at the same time that if they did not go to Parliament then for the purpose of raising money they would have to go at a future time. He (Mr. Sergeant Gazelee) did not follow the argument, but it made very little impression upon him at the time, and it now turned out that he was a true prophet, as the Directors now came forward for the power of raising more money. He was not inclined to give elem that power. He did not know what his brother Proprietors felt, but he was not at all satisfied with the management of the affair. He had a few questions upon j this subject which he wished answered. He wished also to know the cost of the erections in Crutehed Friars. He wished to know if the surplus profit arising from the Brunswick Pier and property in the Alinories amounted to 90,0001. Then he would ask what was the surplus profit between Fenchurch-street and the Minories, and when it would be sold ? He wished also to know whether there was a rental from the arches of 8,000/ a year. In granting the large sum of money proposed to be raised by that meeting, he wished to know how fer nier monies had been expended. He wished to know if any proceedings had been taken against the contractors foe their delay, lie observed at the last meeting it was stated that considerable delay had taken place on the part of the contractors, hut that there was no penalty, and therefore the Company could recover heavy damages for not having a pena;ty made a provision in the contract. It was then stated that they were nearly ready to carry goods ; but he had watched the re• turns week after week, and he found that they only commenced taking goods last week. Now he wished to ask those Directors whether they had taken any steps against the contractors, and whether those heavy damages were recovered, or were in pro gress of recovery ? Then he would ask if there was any profit which did not appear upon the tables ? He should like also to know, what was the return of the amount to the Brunswick -wharf? He heard a great deal about the West India and East India Docks. Now he thought that the Proprietors had no thing to do with the East and West India Docks. They might benefit, but it was ruinous to the Shareholders in the Railway. Then he would wish to know what had been received and paid in the shape of dues, rent, &c., on the Blackwell Railway; so as to see whether the rent exceeded what had been received. Then he would wish to know whether any preference was given to those boats which landed at the Blackwell Pier over those that did not? He had no time to inform himself upon this subject ; all his information upon it being derived from the Railway Magazine. He would also like to know whether the Watermen's boats landed at the Company's pier, because the Railway's boats, belonging to the Railway Proprietors, that was no reason why a preference should be given them. There was a complaint he wished to make, and that was, that there was no facility for luggage; that people who went to Herne Bay found it. very inconvenient, and, there fore, they went to stations were they were more attended to. He would also wish to know how often the rope broke. He saw, by the Times of the 2.5 th of June, that the rope broke daily. lie would wish to know if such was the fact ? The Chairman told him that their capital was 800,0001. He (Mr. Sergeant Gazelee) wished to know whet sum had been bor rowed on temporary loans? There was another to which he strongly objected, and that was introducing a clause into:the Railway Bill, giving an advantage to the steam-boats of the Company. He thanked the meeting for having so patiently listened to him. lie had considered it his duty to put those questions to the Chairman for the general information of the Shareholders. A SHARF.OoLnEit thought it would be as well before the question were answered to lead the Act of Parliament. The SECRETARY then read the Act of Parliament. The CHAIRNIAN said he would endeavour to answer the questions. in the first place the Hon. Gentleman could not call himself a true prophet with respect to borrowing the money, as he (the Chairman) stated at the time, that such money would actually have to be borrowed. With respect to the pro: pert v between Blackwall and the Minories, ➢lr. Tite had valued it at about 68,900/. The first question referred to the arches. He was not aware that the arches were expects d to realise 8,000!. a-year. It was originally con templated that houses would be built upon them, and this valuation of 8,0001. a-year was expected to be realised by those houses. With regard to proceedings being taken against the contractors, there was certainly a delay which the Direc tors regretted quite as much as any of the Proprietors could do, before the proceedings were taker). The arrangements were now completed, both for goods, traffic, and travelling. The next question was the cost of the erections at Crutched Friars and the Alinorics. He thought the cost was about t 4,0001. It was perfectly true that the door was not wide enough, but it had since been made wider at a cost of about ;201. With respect to time Brunswick wharfage, they had en tered in loan arrangement by which they took one-third of the dues, but the following year they contracted for the whole amount of dues for 1,430/. per annum, and now they were receiving the who!c of the wharfage. He was not able to tell what that amount was, but he could say that in one day they hail received 130/.—(Cheers. ) 1111 . . CRAWsIIAY said he did not think these were questions that ought to be answered publicly. If they received 1301. in one slay, and they only paid 1,4301 a-year for it the Proprietors of the wharf would next year double the rent. Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE said he did not wish any question answered that was likely to injure the interest of the Proprie tors. The CHAIRMAN said the next question related to the pre ference given to their own boats. They certainly should always give a preference to those boats which made the Bruns wick Wharf their pier.—( Cheers. ) Reference had been made to the watermen's boats. There were parties who were endeavouring to take the traffic from them entirely. They were carrying passengers to London for fd., therefore it was their duty to interrupt them. With this view they imposed a wharfage of a higher amount, and if that would not do they would try something else.—( Cheers. ) He knew that some inconvenience had arisen owing to the want of accommodation for luggage ; but they must recollect that little luggage came by the railway from Herne Bay, and they would not be justified in establishing accommodation- for luggage which would only come occasionally. The next question was with respect to the rope. In the month of June the rope had only broken once on the 2d and once on the 14th, arid there were only three stoppages out of :3,500 passengers. Mr:LEvy—l think you have given them rope enough, Sir. I would say no more upon it.—( Laughter. ) The CRAIRMAN—The parties were only detained a quarter of an hour, even if the rope broke, and then they performed the journey, with that stoppage, much quicker than by any other co nveyance. With respect to the introduction of the clausa respecting the steam-boats ; in consequence of what took place at the Southampton railway, they had an i nterv i ew with tae Board of Trade and Lord Shaftesbury, and atter loot ing at the original Act of Parliament, they were of opinion that it was perfectly legitimate that they should have the power of hiring steam-boats. But two gentlemen, Proprietors in the railway, but who were interested in the steam-boats to Gravesenti, sent in a petition against it. The Directors did not think that, strider the circumstances, they were justified in contesting the clause without the consent of th e P r oprietors. Ile trusted that the Proprietors would see that the Directors had done all in their power to advance the interests of the C6lllpan Sergeant GAZELLE said there was another question, with respect to borrowing monet. The CHAIRMAN said that the Directors had borrowed, on their own personal security, the sum of 25,0001. A Paortur:roit wished to know to whyt purpose the turplu property would be applied. The . CllAlli MAN said that the money they intended to bor row was for three, four, and five years, and that it was the in. tention of the Directors to pay off the mortgage money, as the Loads became due. Mr. CRAWSIIA Y wished to know if the Directors felt confi dent that there would be a surplus. The CHAIRMAN said he had every reason to believe so, from the valuation of Mr. Tite. Mr. CILAWSHAV—What will be the capital of the Company, after payment of all the debts ? The CHAIRMAN said it would be from 1,020,0001. to 1,025,0001. The resolution was about to be put, when ' Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE said he did not vxish to put the Directors to inconvenience, but he thought it would be best to postpone the granting of this power until the meeting in August. The CHAIRMAN said the money was due,' and ought to be paid at once. There was at the present moment a facility in the money market for borrowing which might not occur in August. Mr. Blecs said that if they intended to purchase steam boats K ith part of the money, he could assure the Directors that it would not meet with the general assent of the Proprie tors, and he for one should most eecitledly oppose it. Mr. SALOMON% said he thought it would be wrong, on the part of the Directors, not to put this question fully before the meeting. Ile asked the Proprietors, in the first place, to put confidence in the Direction. He was quite sure there never was established in the city of London a more honourable and hard-working Board of Directors. He being a large Share holder in th concern, was asked to join the Direction, and when he did so, he found they had an up-hill journey to per form. The money market was then in a most appalang state, and the Direction collected together, and they each furnished the means of carrying forward the concern, until the time should come when they would be enabled to reimburse them selves, and see the undertaking the most majestic work in the country, and he hoped and trusted that it would be equally profitable. They all knew the force of vested interest in this country. It an omnibus were started, the other omnibus proprietors put the omnibus before and behind the stranger, to drive him off the road, and establish a monopoly even in the public streets of London. So with the Blackwall Railway. Notwithstanding the great improvement that it was, they were opposed by the steam-boats plying to London-bridge. What was the consequence? Not one steam-boat to Gravesend ever touched at their pier. The I)irecters then, on their own in dividual responsibility, built several boats, and they soon found that one of their boats did as much as three of their opponents. If they had not taken the trade vi et annis, they would not have had an atom of it ; and yet, for all this, the Hon. Pro prietor said he would oppose it when the subject was brought forward. He (Mr. Salomons) was very much obliged for the attention with which he had been listened to. All he asked was, that they would place confidence in the Directors, and he doubted not but they would make this a successful concern, as a more hard-working, or honourable set of men, could not be found. The CHAIRMA N said he would lay a statement of the traffic by the steam-brats before the meeting. In March, 1841, they had not one running there. In June, 1841, they took 40,0(X) passengers ; in July, 50,000 ; in August, 72,000. In March this year they took 24,000 passengers, having taken none the same period the year before. In April, 29,000 against 10,000 the year before ; in May, 57,000 against 26,000 the same time the year before ; in June of the year before 40,000; the re turns of this year had not been made, but he believed he might say that the number exceeded 70,000.—(Cheers. ) The great profit arising from this, the Directors intended to keep in an accumulating fund, in order to prevent any future necessity of coming before the Proprietors for more money ; but in case they should have to come before the Pro prietors, he had full confidence and hope that the Proprietors would second the endeavours of the Directors.—( Hear.) The resolution was then put. and carried unanimously. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. LAW INTELLIUENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS. June 28. Their Lordships sat to-day at , ten o'clock in a Committee of Privileges. The Peers present were, the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Earl of Eldon, Lord Kenyon, the Earl of Enniskillen, the Earl of Egmont, the Marquis Cam den, the Earl of Redesdale, Lord Sondes, and Lord Skel mersdale. THE EARL OF EGMONT'S CLAIM. Counsel were heard, and witnesses examined on behalf of the Earl of Egmont, who claimed to vote at the election of hepresentative Peers for Ireland. Their Lordships, at the conclusion of the evidence, re solved that the Noble Earl had made out his claim. —Claim allowed. THE EARL. OF SHANNON'S CLAIM. Their Lordships came to a similar resolution with respect to the claim of the Earl of Shannon, after hearing Counsel and witnesses. BARONY OF FITZWALTER. This case came before their Lordships upon the claim of Sir Brooke William Brydges to the barony of Fitzwalter, which was created in the reign of Edward the First, in the year 1295. The first Baron was the grandson and heir of Robert Fitzwal ter, who was called the Marshal of the Army of God and Holy Mother Church, was chief of the confederated Ba tons who obtained Magna Charta from King John, and was one of the twenty.five Barons appointed to enforce its observance. In 1756 the barony fell into abeyance, and daring the late reign, Sir Brooke William Bridges, Bart., presented his petition, claiming the barony, as only co heir to Jemima Duke. Counsel were heard, and witnesses examined, up to two o clock, at which hour, the further consideration of the claim was adjourned. ROLLS' COURT, Jane 28. The Court was engaged throughout the day with consent petitions and short causes, which were set down.in the paper to be spoken to. They were devoid of interest. VICE-CHANCELLOPS COURT, .Irene 28.

THE F.C. _TOURNA3IENT—ATKINSON V. oucdAtr. The parties in this case are both well known makers Oinar queess, tents, &c., which it is part of their business to let out on hire for fetes champetres, fancy fairs, and other open-air enter tainments. In August, 1839, the defendants having undertaken to supply the required camp equipage to Mr. Pratt, who had the entire management of the arrange ments in that respect for the celebrated tournament at Eglin ton, which was to take place in that. month, hired for three weeks, at the rate of 10/. per week, a very large marquee from the plaintiff. In consequence of the unf avo ur a ble w eather which prevailed during the time of the, fete, and the consequent expediency which was found to arise of using the marquee some what differently from the purpose to which it was designed, and making it a cover for a temporary erection, the canvass was cut, the poles broken, and other damage done, which caused the defendant to keep it in his possession, for the purpose of re pairs, a fortnight longer than the time at first agreed on. De fendant paid 301. for the hire, insisting that the marquee was hired for the job, and not by the week, although three weeks was mentioned as the probable time the marquee would be de tained. The action was brought to recover 201. for the extra two weeks, and 371. for the damage done by the improper use of the tent, and the loss of some of the ornaments. The defendants paid 5/. into Court for the alleged damage. The evidence on both sides was that of persons in the em ployment of the parties, the servants of the plaintiff declaring wrongly that the damage was moderately assessed in the decla ration, and those of the defendant, on the contrary, affirming that the usage of the trade was against the defendant's claim for the additional hire, and that the damage done was no mere than fair wear and tear, such as all articles of the kind were liable to, and for which it was not customary to make any charge. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, 25/. COURT OF COMMOA PLEAS, June 28. The Conrt disposed of a number of undefended actions which had no public interest. LARKIN V. AXFORD AND OTHERS. This was an action against iliedefe;danis,;l; are eminent ship-owners, to recover compensation in damages for the injury sustained by the plaintiff, in consequence of a barge under his charge being run down and sunk by a schooner belonging to them. The defendants did not dispute their liability, and paid 30/. into Court. The plaintiff asked for 100/., 01 which 201. were for the charges of the " under watermen," as they are termed, who weighed or lifted the sunken barge, which having been run down on Sunday was not found until Wednesday, hawing been carried away, by the tide, Other items were for plaintiff's loss of time, wages of his mate, and two other bargemen who were engaged four days in finding the barge, one in rais jog her, and one other day in taking her to the owner, from u horn she had been hired by plaintiff. There was a further charge for the loss of the cargo, and the cost of the repairs, which made up the amount laid in the declaration. The wit nesses for the plaintiff swore to the justice of all the claims, and the reasonableness of the charges. The ease for the defence was, that 30/. was amply sufficient compensation. Several witnesses, who were accustomed to employment on the river, gave evidence to the effect that in their judgment In!. was sufficient to defray the cost of finding and raising the barge, and that 1201. was more than enough to cover all the rest of the damage. The Jury found for the plaintiff, damages 51. above the 30/. paid into Court. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COUR7: June 28. IN RE ELIZA BURGESS. The insolvent in this ease »•as described as having been a sAloohnistress in Uxbridge, and subsequently the conapanion to a lady, whose name appeared in the schedule, but was not allowed to transpire by the Learned Chief Commissioner. No opposition was entered against her petition, and after a few unimportant questions from the Court, she was uttered to be discharged forthwith. . _ POLICE IN TELLItIENCE. 1301 V-STREET. There was no ease of the slightest interest at this Court yesterday. CLERK Nll 1171liam Thomas Benderson was charged with stealing a quantity of silver plate, the property of Mr, Brooks, a solicitor, resisting in John-street, Bedford-row. From the evidence of the cook it appeared that between four and five o'clock on Monday evening she was coming out of the area when she saw the prisoner in the pantry with a silver coffee pot under his arm, and several dessert spoons in his hand. She rushed over and shut:the door, hut he burst out, and she then seiied him by the coat, but the garment being of frail texture, lie left it, Joseph like, in the hands of the raptor. lle then ran down the street, but was soon overtaken by a police man and taken into custody. 7 -The prisoner was committed for trial. UNION-HALL. CAUTION TO VISITORS FROM THE COUNTRY.--Williaill Mil's, an aged countryman, applied for the ',Magistrates' advice r,•!ative to his having been plurdered of 16/. on the precedir.l 4 d a y. The applicant said that he came up out of the t °nutty the day before, and having received the cash for a 16 1 .. cheque at a banker's, in Lombard-street, he was proceeding to the " Nag's Head," when he was accosted by a man who asked him the way to London-bridge. They entered into conversation, and the result was they went together to a public-house, where they were soon joi ne d by another man, who p re t en d e d to be a stranger, and who said that he had just arrived from America, He talked about the panic caused by the light sovereigns; said that he had some American scoiereigns in his pocket, and asked applicant if he could let him see a sovereign to try the weight of it against one of his own country. The simpleton consented, pulled out. three 51. notes, and laying thesis on the seat, anxiously looked at his new acquaintance weighing the sove reigns, while the other "gentleman " exchanged the bank notes or those of the " Bank of Fashion," and his friend exchangedl the gold sovere i gn f or a piece of base metal. He put them all together i n hi s poc k et, hi s fr i ends left in a hurry, an d, when too late, he found he had lost all. The MAGISTRATE said that the applicant exhibited great want of caution i n th e transnction • and a description of the thieves, who were well k nown t o belong to the " swell mob, having been given to the police, their capture is likely to be effected.
