Colonel KNOX seconded the motion. The SPEAKER said that the motion, inasmuch as it contained the expenditure of public money, could only be taken in a committee of the whole house ; and Colonel NORTH accordingly postponed it until a future occasion. IRISH CHANCERY REFORMS. On the motion of Mr. WHITESIDE, leave was given to him to bring in a series of bills relating to reforms in the High Court of Chancery in Ireland. The bills were accordingly brought up and were read a first time. _ 1 serjeant-major, now in Wellington barracks, who has recently returned from the Crimea, has sent us the following enthusiastic account of the conduct of a young soldier, only 10 years old, named Thomas Keep, of the 3d Battalion Grenadier Guards, under the command of Colonel Thomas Wood. The writer states that this boy accompanied the army to the heights of the Alma, pre serving the most undaunted demeanour throughout the battle. At one time a 24-pounder passed on each side of him, and shot and shell fell about him like hail, but, notwithstanding the weariness of the day, present dan gers, or the horrid sight, the boy's heart beat with ten derness towards the poor wounded, Instead of going into a tent to take care of himself after the battle was over, he refused to take rest, but was seen venturing his life for the good of his comrades in the battle field. he could find, This boy was seen stepping carefully over one dead body after another, collecting all the broken muskets and making a fire in the night to pro curean_ hot water. He made tea for the poor sufferers, d saved the life of Serjeant Russell and some of battle of saved the who were lying nearly exhausted for the want. did his duty did this youth spend the night. At the night, taking Lalaklavab he again assisted the wounded. The boy but little rest. and worked in the trenches by he was surrounded by el- t est.

Some of the wounded say that s they should not ha ve been alive now had it not been for this boy's unwearied %cat_-hfulness au , : kii.d,iis i“ ti, , hours of helplessues'i. This boy has bleu recommenchsi by Colonel Robinson and Colonel Wood and other offi cers is her Majesty'm service. The CHAIRUAN explained that the bill was a mere " enabling" bill, and that the directors would be obliged to come before the shareholders again, at a meeting, under the Wharncliffe standing order. Mr. GEE supported the amendment, and complained of the large surplus carried over to the next half-year. Instead of paying at the rate of 31 per cent., the direc tors might pay 4 per cent., and carry over about 18,0001. He moved as an amendment that the dividend be at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum. Mr. CARBUT, of Leeds, opposed both amendments, and a desultory conversation ensued, in the midst of which the meeting became very impatient. The CHAIRMAN stated that the directors had asked nothing which, if granted, would not be of advantage to the company. Mr, Parsons' amendment was then put and lost by a large majority, and the original motion carried. The CHAIRMAN then moved a dividend for the half year upon all descriptions of stock as set forth in the report, at the rate of 3i per cent, per annum, payable on the Ist of March. _ The Btnker's Magazine furnishes the returns of circu lation of the private and joint-stock banks in England and Wales for the four weeks ending the 20th of Jan., 1855, and gives the following as the average weekly cir culation of those banks during the past month, viz.:— Private banks Joint-stock banks 3,104,293 INDUSTRIAL HOUR FOR OUTCAST BOYS.—Last even ing a public meeting on behalf of this institution was held at Exeter-ball, under the presidency of the Earl of Shaftesbury. The meeting having been opened with prayer, his lordship said he would not detain them with many preliminary observations, for he was sure they needed no stimulant from him on behalf of the institu tion • but he m us t say t h at he thought this country had been very remiss with respect to institutions of a similar character, which, if more numerous, would, he believed, go very far to limit the operations both for gaoler and hangman. The report stated that 49 boys were at present in the institution, while several others were obtaining honest livelihoods in Canada and other places, and that the institution was involved in a debt of 3001. The meeting was addressed by the Rev. Mr. Auriol, Mr. Hill, Q.C. (Recorder of Birmingham), J. Payne, Esq., and others, after which the proceedings ternnihate A letter from Vienna of the 15th, in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" The Austrian troops in the principali ties have just rec e ived reinforcements, particularly in infantry and artillery.

EXPLOSION AT THE EQUITABLE CO3IPANY'S GAS WORKS. Yesterday morning, between 9 and 10 o'clock, an explosion, attended with fatal results, oc curred at the works of the Equitable Gas Company, situate at Thames-bank. It appears that owing to the coldness of the main pipes, consequent on the frost, the gas bad become deteriorated in quality, and to re medy this communicating pipes have been set up between the boilers of the engines and the " primary mains." By this means the temperature of the pipes is increased. To keep the stea,n, however. from entering the mains, during the time they are filled with gas, cocks are fitted in the centre of the communicating pipes. It would ap pear that one of these cocks was in an imperfect condi tion, and allowed the gas to pass from the main into a boiler which was being cleaned out. The consequence was a tremendous explosion of the boiler, caused by the introduction of a light by a man named Parsons, who was inside chinning it out. The boiler was shattered to in , ! \!; the engine-ro•mi blown outs and the brick rooting of the boiler scattered in all directions. Parsons was killed on the spot, his body being fright fully mutilated.
