APPELLATE JURISDICTION OF THE ROUSE OF LORDS. (Prom the Times of this day.) Lord Derby has. done good service to the cause of legal reform by the speech which he delivered last night when proposing the appointment of a committee to in• vestigate the appellate jurisdiction of the House of Lords. He has not, indeed, thrown much new light on the subject, but he has gathered together what we knew, and stated it with much clearness and perspicuity. On one point, howeVer, Lord Derby's ideas are most eccentric. He thinks that there is no hardship for the suitor in obliging him to wait for six months between the termination of one session and the beginning of another. Hot blood has time to cool, revengeful thoughts to give place to calmer considerations, and prudence to gain her empire over the mind of the irri tated litigant. Such an, argument would be as effica cious in favour of a delay of twelve months as six, of two years as of twelve months, and would, indeed, if carried to its legitimate inference, be conclusive against any appeal at all. Lord Derby is more happy in his criticisms on the different plans that may be suggested for constituting the new tribunal of appeal. The peer age for life would seem to be of itself scarcely sufficient kir the purpose. If the appellate tribunal is to be adapted to the different subjects with which it would hare to deal, it' should be both numerous and capable of selection. The authority, whoever he may be, on whom the task devolves should be able to Choose • the judges most suitable to the subject to be tried, and no others should be permitted to attend. Neither of these results could be obtained by the mere creation of peers for life. They could not be made to attend, and still worse could not he • forced to stay away ; so that the House o f L or d s would be saddled with the mush-dreaded presence of some two dozen lawyers at all its debates, without deriving from them the special assistance which it requires. The next expedient is to annex to certain high judicial offices cffi cial peerages, like the titles borne by the Scotch Lords o f Session, to be laid down when the office is vacated. This plan must also be objected to on the ground of in adequacy. The holder of such a peerage is generally a busy and even an over -worked man, having little time from his own court to bestow on the management of the highest court of the empire. To such a body we could not commit the conduct of the judicial proceedings in the House of Lords without the risk of finding that its highest duties would be those which occupied the least of its care and attention. Then there is the notion of summoning the judges and vice chancellors to assist the Lords in their deliberation, to allow them the faculty of speech, and even to permit them to vote on an equality with the Lords. This proceeding would be virtually to swamp the law lords by the votes of the judges, and to take away from the House of Peers that judicial pre eminence which, it justly considers as not the least brilliant of its ornaments. There remains the proposi tion, originally, we believe,. first made in these columns, to form a Judicial Committee of the House of Lords, just as there is a Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, this committee to consist of a large num ber of judges and learned persons, from whom the particular tribunal in each case is to be selected. Tile objection to this seems rather technical, but is still not without its weight. The Judicial Com mittee, it is intended, shall be composed of per sons not members of the - Upper House ; so that, as the proposition now stands, we should have a com mittee of a body consisting of persons some of whom are not members of the body at all. This, however, is the plan which meets with, and seems to deserve, most favour. It is established on the basis of precedent, aed of a precedent that has been eminently successful ; it gives the amplest opportunity for the selection of its members and the adequacy of its numbers ; and has the advantage, thoroughly appreciated by Englishmen, of preserving the ancient formality of judgment by the House of Peers while introducing new life into the court where that judgment is virtually to be given. The dif ficulties do not appear to be insuperable, and, being eusceptible of removal in several ways, leave a fair and useful field of inquiry to the committee. All this as surely far better than wrangling about the prerogative of the Crown, and threatiening.with condign punishment the nobleman who has received the writ, should he think it necessary to obey its exigency by presenting himself to be sworn at the table of the House of Lords. It is no slight triumph of public opinion that the Lords, who but a little while ago rejected with so much scorn any attempt to improve their house, and demon strated so entirely to their own satisfaction that they had nothing to do but to get rid of the importunate at tempt of the Government to meddle with its hereditary privileges, should have been induced to enter so reso lutely on the duty of self reform. We rejoice that the I idea of maintaining their juiisdiction with all its abuses intact is now abandoned, and that the Peers are about manfully to do battle with the difficulty, which never seems to have presented itself to them in its true light until it stood before the door of their house in the per son of Lord Wensleydale. There are in the principles enunciated by Lord Derby the materials for ad excellent measure, which may excuse, if it cannot vindicate, the violent course adopted by , the Peers, and show Oat their objection is not to a salutary reform, but only to what appears to them a dangerous and obnoxious me thod of working it out.

The formation Of the camp will be commenced this spring, and it is expected that the troops will occupy it during the. summer. THE SEBASTOPOL COMMITTEE.-THE NEW MILITARY COMMISSION. A Committee of the House of Commons, of which onc half of the members were appointed by those, indirectly, who were most desirous to shield from blame those whose conduct was directly impeached, sat last session on the state of affairs in the Crimea. So damning, however, were the facts unavoidably elicited from un willing witnesses, selected so' as to give the fairest pos sible colouring to every occurrence, that every accusa tion was most fully substantiated, even although leading questions were avoided, nor any one point fully investi gated. An unexampled mystification wag, however, carried out. The report prop ose d b y th e Ch a i rman , o f which not one syllable could be controverted, or even ques tioned was rejected,"and that which, as far as was prac ticable, without a dereliction of truth, screened the noble culprits from public indignation, and was penned by their noble brother,—was adopted. Thus passed the first act of the inquest on 10,000 Britjsh heroes. The fraud was, however, too palpable. The people felt that their representatives were insulted by a gross mockery, and the interests and reputation of the nation, and of the army, sacrificed to a few minions of unmerited power, ' rank, and place. Falsely calculating that the contamination of public employment rendered every man enjoying it a servile tool, two Commissioners were sent to the Crimea, whose' Report, it was hoped, would be such as to appease the universal dissatisfaction. They, however, freed from the atmosphere of Parlia- ment-street, amid the purer air of the East, acted with that noble British spirit which, with very few excep tions too well known and despised, all their countrymen have there evinced. There is such an obvious reason in confounding the statement of ascertained facts with accusations, that it cannot be unintentional. Let every judge beware, if his decision, based on evi• deuce, is to be investigated by a secret and irresponsible tribunal. What magistrate, coroner, or justice of the peace can act under such a system ? If the secret tri• busal absolves, the judge is held to have unjustly stand &red. The people ask, provided this extraordinary tribunal does not contrive to whitewash the accused, what fol lows ? Are they to be tried for their misdeeds ? How many investigations preceded the trials of Whitelocke, Paliser, Sir J. Murray—of every naval officer, whose ship has been run aground or lost—•and of the unfortu nate Byng ? Has the late management of our forces in the Crimea been the habitual and applauded syftem of the British Government and army ? The actors in it are placed in those higher post: in which they can more fully follow out the same principles and acts throughout the whole of Vow British forces and empire. As the principal actors in the fatal tragedy—the death of so many thousands, and of British reputation, for all but physical valour and endurance—are kept so prominently before the eyes of the public and of the world, and as the loss of our prestige must either be borne by them especially, together with some other in dividuals, to, whom we confided the conduct of our affairs,—it becomes the duty of the Press to learn from experienced officers, as we have done, what the beha viour of our leaders really has been in the field. Will the soi-disant maligned Peers reply to the fol lowing queries ? Was it, or was it not, the duty of Lord Doan, before ortleriag tie charge by so very considerable a part of bis cavalry, to ascertain by personal inspection whether the ground, the relative strength, and the formation of the enemy, were such as to afford such a probability or possibility of success as justified the attempt ? Did he, or did he nct, duly perform that duty ? If Lord Lucas), his chief, did not, .in view of the ac tual state of tke enemy at that moment, distinctly and decidedly order that charge, does Lord Cardigan con ceive that he was justified in executing it when any favourable result was obviously impossible ? Did he, or did he not, remain with the wreck of the force under his command to rescue theta as speedily as possible from unnecessary danger ? Was he, or was he not —the captain of a vessel—the last to quit it when sinking or stranded, after making every effort to withdraw and to save every individual of its crew ? High military authority ha 3 commented on that dis aster. They coincide in substance—our chivalrous, polite Ally, :end our blunt, free-spoken foe—" C'est so perbe ;" " You are An army of lions"-inais cc n'est pas la guerre," " led ou by asses." What says the world in general ? Our humorous contemporary Punch, adorns the Russian General's simile with the choicest floweis— emblems of the justice of his remark, and of our indi vidual wit and public discernment and justice.—Morn ing Advertiser : • TILE ALMGED ATTEMPTED MURDER AND ROBBERY AT TVALWORTH. EXTRAORDINARY CONFESSION OF THE SERVANT. On . Monday last a very startling and alarming account appeared in the different papers of a robbery com mitted at the house. of Mr. Kcott, a gentleman resid ing at Sutherland-square, Walwortii, and an attempt at murder by the thieves. The paragraph went on to state that, about six o'clock on Sunday evening, and Mrs. Knott and their family left their residence to attend the evening service at a neighbouring church, leaving their servant (Lucy Constable) in charge of the house. On their return home the family found the house surrounded by a large crowd of persons,, and, on entering, they discovered the servant with one wound on her hand and another in her throat. She was enabled, however, to state that very soon Lifter her master and mistress .had left the house, three men had effected an entrance by means of skeletoe keys, and commenced phitederieg it. ,She ezideavonred to 'prevent then:), and, while doing so, the ruffians inflicted, a wound, first on the beck part of her, hand, and next a wound on her throat. The state of disorder which the house presented favoured the truth of the young woman's . statement, and in the state she was 41 it was deemed' necessary to remove her to St. Thomas's Hospital, and she was taken there in s cab. The alleged robberyand violence was of so startling a character, that Mr. Lu n d, th e sp.' perintendent o f p o li ce f or the district, felt it necessary to investigate the einem-Silences himself, and in this he was aleitted by one of his serjeants, Coppin, 15 P. On ques- , tinning the young woman Constable on th e su bj ec t, I", t . Lund found th at there was a . discrepancy betwee, t h e version she gave him and that which she relat ed on the return of her masterand family. The versie,a which she gave him (Mr. Lund) and C )ppin was thi s —Th at „ ex) after the family went out she .heard A ring at the bell, and on going up to see who it R - as the door flew open, three men eetered, and one 'et them threw a coat, or something like it, over her, need, an/ also placed some thini, like a 'plaster over ;ahr mouth. He then gave her a violent blow on the Bead, forced her down the kitchen steps, and as she reaclied the bottom he gave her a second blow wle . teli rendered her insensible. Uu recover ing, she said"- You villains, you are murdering me," and at this tin e s) she saw one of the men approaching her with a table knife in his hand, and which to held up in a me• racing manner towards her. .She threw up her hand to sate her neck and face, and in this way it was that she. received the cut on the hand. The man also drew the knife across her throat, and she instantly felt the blood trickle down her bosom. She recollected nothing after this until she found herself alone in the kitchen, and she instantly rushed to the front door, which she found closed, Opened, it, and gave the alarm. When asked who the men were to whom she had been seen to speak to at her master's gate and other places in the neighbour. hood within the fortnight before, she positively denied having spoken to a single individual. This denial tole deer with the fact of her having stated that the front door was closed when she went to give the alarm, satisfied the officers of her participation in the robbery. Their opinion on this point received additional confirmation by the strong impression on their mind that- the wound in the throat had been done by the young woman her self, though the medical officers at St. Thomas's Hos pital were of a contrary opinion, Yesterday, Sergeant Coppin called at the hospital, and the young woman, Constable, on seeing him approach her bed, burst into tears and said she should tell the truth respe'cting the affair. Sho then said she had made the acquaintance of a young man who, with a fkiend of his, had called on list- on two previous Sunday even ings, during the absence of the family, at church. Last Sunday eveninhe again came by app o i n t ment, and being alone, she asked bins where his friend was, and he re plied that he was with his young woman, "a stunning fine girl." She then left him in the parlour while she went upstairs to dress, and on co m i ng down they left the house togetheie The young man then took her to a publie-house,where, he said, he expected to see his sister, .and there they had a glass of brandy, and conversed with several, persons there ; but as the time for the return of the family approached, she returned home. The young man accompanied her to the end of the Street, where he took leave of her, and went in a.n opposite direction. On reaching her master's house shrs found the front door open and ajar, with a skeleton key in the lock, which stuck so fast that it could not be removed. She hurried into the house, and finding that it,bad been Tobbed, she took up a knife, and enigged the back of her hand with it, to "make believe" that the thieves did it while she was re sistieg them. Bhe did not, think this enough, and then, taking up the knife a sersond time, drew it across her throat. Coppin endeav oured . to get from her a descrip tion of the party she I,,ad mentioned, but she could not, er would net, give the :?lightest information on the Sub ject ; so that, thoughethere is no doubt of her being brought to justice he reelf for the offence, there is every probabili ty of the tl.,ieveiescapin& Coppin dirett e d th a t the self-W o u nding.

The returns of, circulation of the Irish and Scotch banks for the four weeks ending the 19th of Jan., 1856, when added together, give the following as the avera ,, e weekly circulation of these banks during the past month, viz. : The following biographigal sketch of the Russian and Austrian Envoys, with that of Aali Pacha, who represent their respective Governments at the Paris Congress, will be found interesting at the present moment : ".Aali Paella commenced his career in an humble em ployment in the public-offices of the Sublime Porte. By dint of a severe application to various studies, very un usual among his countrymen, be has raised himself through all intermediate steps to the Grand Viziership. He bears also the reputation cf being the most erudite scholar of his nation. His manners are distinguished ; his countenance delicate and expressive. Unlike many of-the public men of his country, be is free from the charge of venality, an d hi s only luxury is the magnifi cence of his library. In politics he belongs to what is called the national party, which acknowledges,Mehernet Ali for its chief. The policy of this party inclines to wards the French interest, and is in every way opposed to that of Reschid Pacha, the peoteoe of our own astute ambassador. "Count Orloff, Aide.de-C imp General, General of Cavalry, Commander of the Miiitary Household of the Emperor, and member of the Council of the Empire, be longs to one of the mostillustrious families of his country. He is about 70 years of age, but is still active and healthy. He took part in almost all the wars at the beginning of the century. W ouu d e d at Austerlitz and at the battle of Borodino, he was made aide-de-camp to the Emperor Alexander I. In 1825 he hal reached the rank of gene ral, and in that quality commanded the regiment of horse guards which on the 2fith September first hastened to repress the emeute at St. Petersburg. Oa that occa sion he displayed great courage and devotedness, which secured him the friendship of the Emperor Nicholas. In 1828 he commanded in Turkey the di vision of light horse. In 1829 he was nominated plenipo tentiary, and signed the treaty of Adrianople. After the peace he remained some time at Constantinople as am bassador. He afterwards went on a mission to Holland and London, where the affairs of Belgium were regu lated. In the year 1833 he was at the head of the expe dition which saved Constantinople from the victorious army of Ibrahim Pacha, and he signed the treaty of Un kiar-Skelessi. Since 1815 he has replaced the late Count de Benkendorff as chief of the third section of the private chancellery of the Emperor, and as head of the gendar mery of the Empire, the colonels of which, stationed in the different governments, are charged, not exactly with a mission of police, but with the general inspection of all the administration of the country, and even of control over the people as well as the administrators. This place gives Count Orloff free access at every hour of the day to the Emperor, and the right to speak to him of every person and of every event. "Baron de Brunow, a privy councillor, belongs to a noble family of Courland. He has been nearly 40 years in the diplomatic career, and has acquired a European re putation. Heappeared for the first tirnein the negotiations of Adrianople, in which Count Orloff was engaged; and af terwards accompanied him to Constantinople as councillor of embassy, and afterwards to Holland and England. On hisreturn, Baron de Brunow was attached to the ministry of foreign affairs as principal redacteur. He afterwards accompanied Count Nesselrcde to several diplomatic congresses and conferences. He was then sent as Mi nister to Stuttgardt, and afterwards on an extraordinary mission to London, where he signed the treaties of 1340 and 1841. He remained there as Envoy Extraordinary and Minieter Plenipotentiary until the rupture of diplo matic relations between England and Russia. After wards M. de Brunow was appointed Minister Plenipo teotiary to the Germanic C mfederation." "Charles Ferdinand Count Buel-Schauenstein, of Rieberg, Straraberg, and Ehresfels, born on the 17th May, 1797, Chamberlain and Privy Councillor of the Emperor Francis Joseph, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Btc., is a descendant of one of the oldest families in Switzer land. He is a native of the canton of the Grisons, where twouf his falsify have successively occupied the episcopal see of Coire. It was in the diplomatic school of his father, who was president of the Germanic Diet, that Count de Buol was brought up ; and when scarcely 19 years of age he meths his debut in the difficult career of diplomacy. Hs was at first attached to the Aus trian Legation at Florence, whence he passed succes sively to those of Hanover, Cassel, and Frankfort-sur- Maine. At the last-named place he was fortunate enough to be near his father, who still retained the post of pre mident of the Diet, and where he had the advantage of pro fiting by his long experience. After his father's death, the young count was appointed Secretary of Legation at the Hague, and in 1822 was promoted to the rank of Secretary of EMbassy at Paris. where he remained until 1824, when he went as first Secretary to the Austrian Embassy in London. By a strange coincidence Baron de Bonrqueney and Prince Gortschakoff were at the same period secretaries at the ens' , aesies of their respec tive courts in Loudon. Thirty years later, the three secretaries met in the character of plenipotentiaries at the conferences of Vienna. Count Buol left Eng,larel in 1828 for Carlsiuhe, to the heal of which legation lie had been appointed. In 1831 he was accredited as Envoy Extraordinary at th e Court o f Darmstadt, and in thegarne year he was married to the Princess Carolina Isenibourg Berstein, the daughter of the tnediatised prince of that name, and heiress to an Immense fortune. In 1833 he was appointed to the Legation at Stuttgardc, and the eminent services which he rendered to his c , )untry at that period procured him the distinction of being raised in 1844 to the dignity of privy councillor, a distinction then very rare in Atistrie, as it conferred the title of excellency, which only belongs to ambassadors of the first class. Since 1848, the number of privy councillors bas more than tripled in the Austrian monarchy. When the revolution of 1848 broke out, Count Buol was ac credited as Minister Plenipotentiary at..tbe quartet el Turin and Parma. Perceiving that, netwithstancline the professions of friendship which Keg Charles A lbsrt expressed towards the Court of Vienna, the Sardinian troops were preparing to nolst the insurgents of :elilan, Count Buol, without waiting for instructions from his Ge iernment, thought proper to apply for his passports, pre ferring an open rupture between the two Governments to an equivocal situation. Prince Felix de Schwartzen berg, who, in 1818, took in hand 'the reins of the Austrian Government, as a proof of his admiration of the energy and firmness disp'ayed by C oun t d e Buol on that occasion, confi led to him the direc tion of the Austrian Legetion at St. Peterelmrg. At the conferences which took place at Dresden in the year 1850 for the settlement of the differences between Aus tria and Prussia, Count Buol was appointed as second plenipotentiary with Prince da Schwartzenberg. In the year 1851, he went to London as. Minister Pleaipoten tiary of Austria, and on the su Wen death of Prince de Schwartzenberg, in 1852, was recalled to Vienna to succeed him in the post of Minoter of Foreign Affairs. Since his accession to that office the count has imparted the greatest activity to his department, as is proved by the conclusion of a great number of international treaties calculated to extend the relations of Austria with foreign countries. Amonie them may be mentioned postal con ventions with the Pap tl States, SeaineSseitterland, Sar dinia, and Russia.; treaties for the transmission of tele graphic despatches 'with Switzerland, the States of the Germanic Confederation, and Sardinia ; treaties of c on merce with Prussia, the German Cu-torns Union, and Belgium ; a treaty of extradition with Francs, etc. Baron de Hubner's career mty be thus summed up SOUTH-EASTERN. [The following appeared in part of our impression of yesterday.] • The general half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in this company was held this afternoon, at the Bridge House Tavern, London-bridge ; the Hon. James Byng in the chair. The notice convening the meeting having been read by the secretary, and the report taken as read, The CHAIRMAN said it affirded him much plea sure in beieg able to congratulate them on the flourishing state of the traffic, and that this pro perty was now in an improved state. The Read ing branch bad hitherto been a burthen to the company, but he hoped that when the narrow-gauge communica tion, near Revling, was complete, an increase of traffic would be the result. The accounts showed an available balance of 171,0731., which would admit of a dividend of 13s. 3d. per share, leaving a balance of 6,9131., which it was thought would be sufficient to meet all outstanding demands of the present half-year. Ar rangements had been made to pay the dividend on the 6th March, one month earlier than formerly. After alluding to accidents that had oceurred en the line, the chairman stated that with a view. to prevent the • recurrence of accidents the directors had appointed Mr. Ehorall, late manager of the East Lancashire Railway, to superintend the working of the whole line. The directors had not thought it right to make any applications this year to Parliament, but to direct their attention to the full development of the traffic: Should it be found necessary to apply to Parliament on any future occasion he should feel it his duty first to consult the shareholders. He proposed the reception and adoption of the report. Mr. GORDON THOMPSON seconded the resolution. Mr. CAIRD called the attention of the meeting to the absence of the locomotive engineer's report from the di rectors' report. The CHAIRMAN said that the directors bad thought it better to introduce the heads of that report into the general report. The engineer's report was on the table for the inspection of the shareholders. Mr. CAIRD next asked hew the value of the stores had been ascertained ; if any steps had been taken to verify the statement that their value was 60,0001. ? The CHAIRMAN said they had been *perly valued. Mr. C4IIID asked if the expenditure of this company had exceeded the Parliamentary estimate, and by ho w much ? The CHAIRMAN said in no instance had it come up to it. Average circulation of the Irish banks £6,970,190 Average circulation of the Scotch banks ... 4,142,789 --- Average circul a ti on d ur i ng past month 211,112,979 On comparing the above with the fixed issues of the several banks, as given in the Banking Almanac, the following appears to be the state of the circulation : The Irish banks are above their fixed issue £615,696 The Scotch banks are above their fixed issue 1,055,580 Total above the fixed issue... 21,671,276 The amounts of gold and silver held at the head offices of the several banks during the past month have been as follows Gold and silver held by the Irish banks £3,308,067 Gold and silver held by the Scotch banks. --- Total of gold and silver held £4,148,952 The above statements complete the returns of the cir culation in England, Scotland, and Ireland for the month ending the 19th of January. These returns, combined with the average circulation of the Bank of England for the same period, will give the following results of the circulation of notes in tha United Kingdom, when compared with the previous month : Mr. CAIRD asked if either of the directors had been called on by the board to explain his conduct relative to a charge that had been made against him of having allowed his name to be used improperly relative to the appointment of an-office-bearer. The CHAIRMAN said that some statement of that kind had been mooted at the board, and Capt. Warren had read a letter to the board,relative to it. Mr. CAIRD asked if any investigation had been made into the report ? The CHAIRMAN said No. • Mr. MEnneat.(director) said he mentioned the report to Captain Warren, and suggested that he should explain his conduct to the board. After that Captain Warren read a written pretest to the board. After some further , conversation, Captain WARREN* said that the charge was a malicious, spiteful, and vindictive lie. He never, directly nor in directly, had anything to do with the appointment. He was absent that day from the board meeting. (Hear.) Mr. CAIRD said the explanation was satisfactory— (cheers)—but he considered the dividend unsatisfactory, and proceeded to make remarks on the Government re port relative to the late accident on this line, which were interrupted by the meeting 'as being out of place. After some general remarks on the management, he moved the following addition to the chairman's resolution : " That, in consequence cf the certificates of the leading officers of the company, in their several departments, and seeing that notwithstanding resolution of the board announced in March, 1852, that one of the directors should annually retire, their influence had beer, used to retain all the retiring directors, and so to prevent the free expression of the' opinion of the shareholders, this meeting declared its dissatisfaction with the con duct of the board in these particulars, and call upon it to act on the re-elution announced in March, 1852, by requiring one of the retiring directors to with draw his- claim for re-election." kedorided the amendment. Mr. PARKER defended the conduct of the directors. Mr. BELL said that in analy s i ng Mr. Caird's mstives that day he looked upon them and his speech as an ad vertisement for a seat at the directory ; but he thought his conduct rery , impriplent, and he (qr. Bell) hoped the meeting would express their condemnation of it. He asked Mr. Caird if he intended to offer himself as a director ? Mr. Camp admitted he was a candidate for a seat at the directory. Mr. ]BELL said he looked upon this report as the most satisfactory one they had had presented to them for many years past, and as an omen of better thidgs for the future. He saw no cause whatever to induce the meeting to take such a gloomy v i ew o f the un-dertsklng as Mr. Laird had. Mr. MiTdHELG congratulated the meeting on the clear and precise statement of accounts that had that day been presented to thee'. This report was certainly more satisfactory fian former ones had been, hut be wished to be Wormed how it was that the shareholders did not get a corresponding increase of dividend with an increased revenue. In 1852 the he ime wai 773, 7701., and in 1855 986,262/., making a difference of 212,4921. Tho diViden I in 1852 was three per cent., and in this year only three-and•a-half per cent., notwithstanding they had increased their revenue 212,4021. Mr HEnAPATH, jur)., after alluding to several topics connected with the working df the line, Whereby a saving of. expense might be effected, said that the in creme of revenue alluded to by the last speaker was about 20 per cent., whereaS the increase on the dividend waA 30 per cent., so that the shareholders had not much to complain of on that bead. He thought the company Wai now in a.sounder sate than formerly. Toe CEIAIRILIN said that arrangements were now being made to reduce the working expenses of the line. In answer to questions from several shareholders, Toe CHAIRMAN said that the aggregate loss on the branch • lines amounted to in the grass to 86,000/. per annum. Ti'e arnervlrnent was afterwards withdrawn, and the original motion carried unanimously. The dividend of 13e. 3d. per share was then declared. Mr. HAMILTON prassed upon the directors ani share holders that in- future the qualification of a director should be 3,0001. stock, and should have been in his pos session at least 12 niontis. The CHAIRMAN said that by the act COO/. was the qua lification. He approved of this suggestion, and the only way it could be carried out was by the shareholders agreeing that none but those who pos , essed stock as Mr. Hamilton recommended should be elected directors. A SHAREHOLDER sa , .d this was a very important sug gestion, acd he hoped that when they iwain wet to Parliament a clause to that effect would be inserted in the bil'. "Alexander, Baron de Hubner, now Austrian Minis ter at the Court of the "Tul'erie3, was born at Vienna in 1811. After having. completed his studies at the university of that capital, ho passed some time in Italy; and in 1833 entered on his diplomatic career under the auspices of Prince de Metternich, to whose Cabinet he remained attached Instil 1837: In 1838 he was sent as attaché to the Austrian Em' assy in Paris, ti,,cler Calla d'Appony. When, in 1841;-after a long interruption of diplomatic relations between Austria and P..rtugal, the Court of Vienna rec , ,gnised the throne of Queen Donna Maria, M, de Hubner accompanied Baron Marshal to Lisbon as his secretary of embrai,sy. He left Portugal in 1844 to represent his Government as Charge d'Afftires at the Ducal Court of Anhalt, and filled at the same time the functions of Austrian Consul. General at Leipeic. At the commencement of 1848, when the dipinatic cot , region& nce of the Archduke Roynier, the Viceroy of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, acquired every day more importance from the agitation which prevailed in that country, the direction of that correspondence was confided to M. de Hubner. When the insurrection at Milan broke out, he was detained in that city as a hostage, but after a captivity of several months was ex changed. On returning to Vienna in thesautumn of that year, he remained completely aloof from public affairs. During the insurrectionary movements in the capital, M. de Hubner distinguished himself by his coolness an by his devotedness to the Emperor ; and on that occa sion he crossed the barricades and passed through the lines of the insurgents to pace himself at the disposal of Prince de Schwartzenherg. From the close of 1843 to March, 1849, hi remained with the Prince at ()Mintz, and directed the political cerreFpondence of the foreign department. At the end of March, 1849, he was sent on a mission to Paris, of which he acquitted himself with such success that some months after he was defini tively appointed as Minister flenipotentiary at the Court of the Tuileries, where he has since remained." .The CILIIIDIAN said that the prezent directors possessed double the amount of stock mentioned. The retiring directors, Mr. C. Child; Captain Warren, Hon. J. Byng, and Mr. A. Kaye, were re-elected. After. some further unimportant business bad been disposed of the auditors were re-elected, and the meeting separated with a vote of .thanks to the chairman and directors.

Yesterday, a court was held for the despatch of pub lie business. There was a very large attendance of members. PRESENTATION OF THE FEEEDOM OF THE CITY TO SIR EDMUND - LYONS. Deputy DAKIN moved r—" That the freedom of this ancient City, in a gold box of the value of 100 guineas, be presented to Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, in testi• niony of, our admiration of his distinguished services." Having passed_ n.tevituv..the services of Sir Edmund from his entering as a midshipman in the year 1807, to the crown:ng operations bebre Sebastopol, the speaker observed that Sir-Edmund Lyons was the man to whom they all pointed as having, played a most distin. guished part in the operations of the war. He (Mr. Dakin) would carry with him the approba tion -of that court when be proposed that tie gallant baronet should he associated with Lord St. - Vincent; Lord Nelson, Lord Collingwood, and other distinguished men, who they know had in days gone by been= proud to be enrolled among the citizens of London. He gathered from Sir Edmund Lyon's own address on a recent occasion that there was no thing more gratifying to the service of which he was so distinguished an ornament than to have the good feel. ing, the interest, and the sympathy of the citizens of the metropolis. (Cheers.) In proposing the resolution to which be had referred, he paid a debt of gratitude to Sir Edmund for services rendered, and added to the roll of their Oistinguished citize.ns a name of which they might be justly proud. (Cheers.) Alderman and 'tieriff KENNEDY seconded the motion, which was unanimously agreed to, amid much cheering. OFFICE OF COMMON SEEJEANT. Mr. Russell Gurney was unanimously elected Common Serjeant in the place of Mr. Bullock, who recently re signed that office. Mr. GURNEY having expressed his acknowledgments for th e h onour conferred upon him, Mr. CAUSTON moved, " That the office of judge of the Sheriffs' Court be declared vacant, and that it be referred to the o ffi cers and clerks' committee to consider the duties emoluments of that race, and.that-Mr.-Res sail GririerbO'requested to preside in the Small Debts Court until- his . successor shall be appointed." The motion was carried unanimously. After receiving several reports the court adjourned. = =-- ,== , Country Market% DERBY SMITHFIELD.—FEB. 26.
