ROYAL BURGHS OF SCOTLAND V. CUNNINGHAM'S. This was an appeal from tile decision of the Court of Ses sion. The only question in the ease was, whether the Con vention for the regulation of Scotch burghs was a corporation, and every member elected for life, 9r whether the appointment was only annual. The C our t o f Session decided that the ap pointment was for life, and from that decision the present appeal was brought. Mr. GORDON addressed their Lordship; for the appellant, and had not concluded when our Evening Edition went to press. CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor sat in Lincoln's-inn Hall to-day. IN THE 3IATTER OF THE BIRMINGHAM FREE GRAMMAR SCHOOL. This case came before the Court upon a petition presented by the Governors of King Edward's Free Grammar school in Birmingham, praying for a reference to the Master. In the sear 1824 an information was filed for the purpose of ascertaining what was the property belonging to the Charity, and also for a scheme for its future regulation. Under that information, a reference was directed to the Master, to inquire whether it wt,uld be for the benefit of the charity, that the school should be rebuilt, and that application should be made to Parliament to enable them to rdi e money for the purpose. The Master reported in favour of the rebuilding of the school, and applying to Parliament, and he also approved of a scheme for the future regulation of the school under which the head master was to be al owed to receive boarders. Since the nlw building had been erected, it had been found that the rum raised under the Act was not sufficient for the purpose by 6,0001, and the object of the present petition was for a re ference to the Master, to inquire whether it would be for the benefit of the Charity to apply to Parliament for another Act to raise a further sum, and for the alteration of the scheme relative to Me head master receiving boarders, the Governors proposing, instead of allowing him to receive boarders, to pay him a certain sum for each scholar. Mr. Finnelly appeared for the Bishop of Worcester, and Mr. 3acon fur the Head Master, and consented to the application. The Loan CHANCELLOR made the order as prayed. VICE-CU ANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) Motions of no interest occupied his Honour all the morning. (Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRAIII.) COLE V. STUTELY. His HONOUR gave judgment in this cause, which came before the Court on exceptions and further directions. Under the will of Martin Cole, the husband of Elizabeth Cole, the latter became entitled for her life to Certain household property, with a general power to appoint. The property was subject to two mortgages created by the testator, one fur 500/. and the other for 1,0001. The bill was filed by the appointees, and the question in the cause was whether the monies origi nally secured by those mortgages, constituted part of the resi duary estate, or whether the appointment had been made in such a manner as that the appointees took the estate subject to the charges upon it. After citing several cases in point, his Honour decided that the mortgages must be considered as part of the general estate.

TUNE--‘1 THE SEA !" The slide, the slide, the Corn-law slide, he prop of rents of Peers' the pride— With a sovereign stopt, and a triplet bound, It ranneth the scale's cramp'd legion round ;• It plays with the funds, it mocks supplies, And like a cursed creature lies. Peel's on the slide ! Peel's on the slide! He is where he would evsr glide, Wiih the rich above and the poor below, And silence, or the n wails of woe: If a storm should come, or want prevail, What matter, what matter, he'll ride on his sliding-scale He loves, oh ! how he loves to ride On his deceitful, starving slide, When ev'ry mad yell drown s a moan, Or the red rebel banner is flaunting alone; And telleth how goeth the world of repeal, A fot . ring wound this quack cannot heal. He never gave heed to tha League's loud roar, But he lov'd his bantling snore and more, And backward flew to its hollow breast, Like a phantom that knoweth not where to rest; A solace to him in the midnight hour, When chill winds whistle, and famine-clouds lour. Tyrants smil'd and hail'd the morn, And the tranquil hour when Peel was born; The farmers whistrd, the tithe-pigs roll'd, And the Bishops they bared their bags of gold; All placemen seem'd in accents mild, To welcome to life the " expedient" child. " Ile has liv'd since then in calm and strife," Nearly fifty years a sycophant's life, " With wealth to spend, and a power to range, Arul never has aigh'd or sought for change." When his knell shall sound on the passing gale, May its music be tun 'd to his sliding scale. Doncaster, March 7, 1842. ISLE OF WIGHT BANK. (most OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

BRUSSELS, MARCH 3 —Yesterday afternoon at half-past four o'clock, the City of Edinburgh steamer, Capt. Hast, en tering the port of Ostend, was driven by the waves against the Alusoir ; the shock made it recoil and deviate from its course. About half-past seven it was got cif the sand-bank on which it had struck, but uflhappily the wind became so violent that it was impossible to stet r the vessel, which ran aground opposite to Fort Napoleon. We learn that the crew and passengers are saved, but it is probable that the vessel and cargo will be lost. Another letter says :—" Ihe last accounts from Ostend say that all the cargo of the steamer was saved yesterday. It con sists of wool and indigo, and is much damaged. The vessel ha; six feet water in the hold, and it is suppo.ed will be totally lost.. The passengers, 33 in number, were saved with great difficulty. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE GENE RAL POST-OFFICE. On Saturday afternoon Mr. Payne, City Coroner, held an inquest at the Mourning Bush Tavern, St. Martin's-le-Grand, on the body .of Mary Kitchell, aged six years. It appeared from the evidence of Mt. John Gottick, and of City con stable 463, that at about a quarter to six on Friday evening they saw a snail-cart that had been driven in at the Nevvgate street entnnee of the Post-office, proceeding at the rate of ten miles an hour, within the railings round the eastern side of the e , ifice. As the vehicle was traversing the public foot path that leads from Foster-lane to the back entrance of the Post-office, ae horse by which it was whirled along knocked down deceased, who was running across the footpath, and the near wheel of the marl-cart passed over the girl's head, fractured the skull, and caused instantaneous death. Both these witnesses said the driver of the cart made no attempt to pull up his horse until he got to the door of the general letter-office, about twenty-five yaris north of the footpath on which the child was killed. Craddock, a constable at the Post-office, and Hammersley, a guard, who was in the cart. at the time of the accident, said the horse was travelling at no more than eight miles an hour,, th a t b o th d r i ver and guard gave notice of danger . by hallooing 'to the persons crossing the footpath, that the deceased child shot out suddenly between the horse's feet, that the driver, directly he perceived the child, endeavoured to pull up, but that he was unable to do so in time to obviate the occurrence. The cart came from the receiving-office in the Borough, and a quarter of an hour was the time allowed to perform that distance. If the driver had been behind time he would have been reported to his seperior. '1 he Coroner pointed out to the Jury the obligation the driver, being in the public service, was under to travel at greater speed than would be necessary in ordinary circumstances. Besides, he was not driving in a public thoroughfare, unless the footpath alluded to could be considered as such, and in addition, ti e evidence was fairly divided fur and agaicst him. Be hoped the Post-otliee authorities would order the mail-carts to be driven an evening into the yard through the north western gate in St. Martin's-le-Grand, for then the footpaths, that at the Newgate-street entrance, and that on which the accident had taken olaee, both a'ways crowded towards the hour of closing the'office, would be avoided. Mr. Fortune, clerk of the warks said, no alteration could take place unless ordered by the Noble Postmaster- General, and that since the present accident had occurred a suggestion similar to that ex presser - iby the Coroner had been communicated to his Lord. ship, who, no doubt, would cause it to be adopted. Verdict,— " Accidental Death," the Jury recommending that a little more caution 'should, for the future be used- by the mail cart drivers in coming into the Post-office yard.

N SOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY) IN RE CHARLES VALENTINE AUSTIN. The insolvent in this case, who described himself as a water-gilder, carrying on business in partnership with his mother, was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on behalf of a creditor named Osborn. His petition was supported by Mr. Woodroffe. It appeared that he had been in the habit of accepting bills of exchange, drawn by a person named lea Jand, and some four years ago the opposing creditor, who was clerk to Mr. Pemberton, the Chnicery barrister, discounted two of those bills for 501. each, payab'e in three months, for which a rate of interest was charged equal to 12/. per annum for 50/. Not being able to meet them when they became due, they were renewed upon similar terms, and now formed the grounds of opposition to the insolvent's discharge. Headland passed through this Court in last January, and the insolvent's moth er had likewise t a k e n th e b ene fit o f th e Act about twelve months ago, since which time she died, and by her wal left him a por tion of her share in the trade, but only one attesting witness being to tl.e will it was invalid. Mr. WOODROFFE said his client's caw required the attend ance of Osborn to give evidence touching the eircumstanc,'s under which the bills were discounted, as he (Osborn) had so very frequently appeared in this Court to -oppose insolvents under circumstances similar to the present, it was desirable to have as close a se utiny as possible. Mr. COOK said it would be utterly impossible for him to be present, as he was obliged to be in attendance upon Mr. Pem berton at the House of Lords, who was engaged in several cases of appeal. Mr. Woonaovia was about addressing the Court for the insolvent, when Mr Commissioner REyrioens said the facts of the case, as they appeared at present, rendered such aeourse quite unneces sary on the part of the Learned Gentleman, as nothing tran spired to induce an adverse jifttgment. The insolvent was then ordered to be discharged. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) A NEST or TIIIEVES.—SamneI Baskin, aged 21, waiter, James _Fernley, aged 24, painter, If illiant Henry Fernley, aged 14, labourer, George Fernley, aged 59, porter, Eliza beth Ann Fernley, aged 23, spinster, and Abigail de Soiza, aged 23, spinster, were indicted, and the indictment charged Samuel Ilaslem, James Fernley, and IV. H. Fernley, with breaking into the dwelling-house of John Oliver, and stealing one coat, two boots, .two table-cloths, &c. his property, and George and Elizabeth Ann Fernley and Abigail de Soiza with feloniously receiving the same, well knowing them to have been stolen. Another indictment charged the pris2ners with stealing and receiving one hat, two boots, three rings, one pencil-case, and a great variety of other articles, the property of Joseph Rawlings. The prisoners were also detained upon two other charges of burglary, and no IC'ss than eighteen charges of larceny. The charge of burglary in the dwelling-house of John Oliver was taken first, and from the evidence adduced, it appeared that on the 29th of January the wife of the pro.ecutor heard a noise up stairs, and on proceeding to the parlour she found the win dow open and a ladder placed against the outside of the house. She immediately looked round the house and mis,e I the arti cles named in the indictment. The prisot.er resided in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel, and sub , equently to the robbery it w s eiscovered that the property had been pledged in that neighbourhood. From information received fron► the pawn brokers, the prisoners were taken into custody. A quantity of the property was found in the house of the elder prisoner. A small house had bee❑ taken by the prisoner Ilaslem, and the prisoner, Elizabeth Ann Fernley, cohabited with hi n. A great number of articles were brought to the c•At age by the prisoner Haslem. The pawnbrokers with whom the articles were pledged were put into the witness-box, but they cou;(1 not s•sear to the drisocer Elizabeth Ann Fernley. The arti-:les were pledged in the name of Bennet. The prisoner De :Fo:za lived as cempanion to the prisoner Elizabeth. Ann Fernley. The prisoners were all taken in the same house, and the boots named in the indictment were found on the feet of the younger prisoner. Several witnesses were called who gave the elder prisoner 'an excellent character. The RECOADYR having summed up the evidence, the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against the prisoners Ilaslem, Eli zabeth Ann Fernley, and William Henry Fernley, and acquitted the other irisimers on the ground that tkere was not sufficient evidence aga list them. --- The other charges were then gone into against the prisoners, and the same verdicts taken. The prisoner Haslem was th en sen t e n ce d to b e transporte d f ur life, and the prisoner Elizabeth Fernley to be transported for the term of fourteen years. The sentence en the other prisoner was (1, ferred. NEW COURT. George Worthington, aged 46, and Mary Bird, a married wcmari aged 40, were indicted for feloniously receiving 150 vaids of horsehair seating and 133 lbs. of curled horsehair, value 6/. 195., the property of Susannah Purkis, well knowing the same to have been stolen. Mr. Burton conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Phillips. and Mr. Charnock al.peared for the prisoners. Mrs. Purkis, the prosecutrix, was the first witness examined. She stated that she was a horse-hair manufacturer, in Crown-. street, Shoreditch. On the 14th of February last. witness suspecting that a woman in her service, named Mary Williams, was fraudulently removing property from her premises, had the woman searched ; and bibs. of horse-hair were found on her person. The woman then admitted that she was taking it for sale to the house of the pristiners, to whom the had previously disposed of various quantities of the same description of pro perty, which she had stolen from time to time. Mary Williams admitted the theft. She was in the habit of stealing tl.c property in small quantities and telling it to the prisoners, who kept a marine store shop, at 57, London-street, Finsbury. The prisoners paid her 4d. a pound fur the horse.. hair. Mrs. Purkis was re-called, and stated that the value of the stolen goods was Is. per pound. • • James Brammen, a police constable, iiated that he had gone to the house of the prisoners, and asked them if they had any horse-hair in their possession. They at' first denied that they had any ; and when he afterwards found a quantity on the pre mises, the female prisoner said to the other, " 1 knew that it would come to this at last." The Jury returned a verdict of " Guilt)" against the pri soners, and they were each sentenced to one year's imprison ment in the House of Correction, with hard labour. PO LICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.--(THiS DAY.). Two genteely dressed men, who gave the, names cf Wells and Garland, were charged with assaulting a person named Bush under the following circumstances. As the complainant was unable to attend in consequenCe of the injuries he had re ceived, Mrs. Bush stated the case. She said that last evening she was walking along Wl.itchall, in company with another lady, on the way to her residence in 'Regent-street, Westminster. Her husband and her friend's husband were also proceeding along Whitehall, a few yards in advance of the ladies. The prisoners at the . bar went up to the witness and her friend, put their hands on their shoulders, and otherwise behaved in a manner not at all becoming the respect which is due to a virtuous woman. Witness and her friend felt highly insultcd at this treatment, and told the prisoners to go away, mentioning as a further inducement to make them quit, that their husbands were just before them, and would soon make them go. The prisoners, however, in their excess of valour and gallantry, refused to comply with the fair dame's request, and added, " Oh, d—n the husbands, we don't care f or them." Witness's husband then came up, but the pri soners, instead of sheering off at his approach, only became the more attentive to the ladies, and when remonstrated with by the husband, the prisoner Garland laid hold of him, whilst his companion Wills struck him over the face, so hard that his jaw was dislocated. Mr. Bush was now under the hands of 11r.' M'Cann, the surgeon, of Parliament-street, who said that he would be laid up probably for a month or two. Mr. HALL remarked that the evidence was quite strong enough to warrant him to remand the prisoners until the hus band should be able to attend. He would, however, take bail —themselves in 401., and two sureties in 20/. each for their appearance this day week. UNION-HALL-(THIS DAY.) Anthony Gorman was charged with assaulting and wounding James Millist, a policeman of the M division, in the execution of his duty. The policeman stated that being on duty at Bermondsey-wall, at seven o'clock on the preceding night, he stopped a boy with a bundle, suspecting it contained stolen property. The prisoner came up at the moment, interfered, and said that he hs.d better look after the " swe ll mo b , " than stopping honest people. The policeman desired the prisoner to go on, but he refuses, and struck at him several times, and a scuffle having taken place, the prisoner got posession of the SPORTING. As there is magic in the very name of Epsom, I know not why I have, until now, delayed all mention of the great race, the Oaks. The entry is unusually great, the betting has been unusually heavy, and, I believe, one Noble Lord has laid against more than fifty mares engaged in this rate. So many of these, however, were heard of only as yearlings, and have ne cr been named in the Tattersall list, that the following summary must be supposed to contain only the doings since the Houghton meeting. Exclusive of Scott's lot, then, about twenty mares have been individually backed. Passion,- still languidly heading the list, came with a rush so soon as it was made public that John Day was to train her, Mr. Etwall being named as the purchaser; 7 and 6 to 1 were taken to many hundred pounds. She retired about Christmas to 8 and 9 to 1, and, as your reporter writes, the books seem to be full about every mare except Passion, nevertheless first fa vourite still ! She is engaged in the 1,000 gs., and the Hyde Park Oaks at the Hippodrome. The second favourite, the Sister to Yorkshire Lad, has been backed to win a sum of money at 12 to 1, nor more nor less. She was beat a neck by Passion in a half mile race, and very little more by Wiseacre for the Prendergast. No engagement before the day'.• 83ren, one of Scott's, is next in favour ; 13 to I can scarcely be obtained about Ler. She was fist backed at 25, then 20, and rote in one day to her present position. No engagement. The Adela filly ( Lord Jersey's) is reported to be a remark ably fine mare, indeed, the New marketites will hear of no other. Most of the books were filled at 25 to 1, hence 14r rising so sudden'y to 12 to 1. Present price 14 to 1. No en gagement. The three out of the four favourites do not come out till the day ; the public have here shown unusual judgment. Lord Exeter's Arnim filly stands next, and the most re cently imported she is, for until Monday last we never heard of her. Shag is a rising favourite, and is in the 1,000 guineas. The Lass of Louton (Scott) was for some period nominally at 14 to 1, but I doubt if she ever was backed fur more than Ll. at these odds. She was at 20 to 1, then 30 to 1, and is just now out of the market. By Bay Middleton, an unpopular sire, and has several engagements in the Spring Meetings. In the 20 and •25 to 1 class are Belle Dame, sister to Fitz. roy (no engagement); the Baleine filly, a mare that ran re spectably in the Ham Stakes at Goodwood, receiving fibs. (no engagement) ; Topsail, backed for much more money than any one would imagine who studies public sunning (no engagement); the Duke' of Rutland's f. out of Flam beau's dam, twice well beaten in October (several engage ments) ; Eusebia, whose best: performance is the running second to RoArum fur the Hopeful, half a mile, receiving —lbs. (four engagements); Norma, Captain Gardner's, twice beaten about fifty ya'ds (flamed in the Suffolk Stakes) ; Dilbar (Scott) engaged at Newmarket ; and Rupture, first backed at 40, then at 35, then at 25 to 1, trained at the Curragh, and no engagement. _ Thi; other mares speculattd, on to a trifling extent are Dorothy at 30 to I (in the 2,000 end 1,000), haffie f. at 30 to 1, Mr. Connop's Mirabt Ila at 40 to I, Id9!atry at 33 to 1, Blue Bonnet at 30 to 1, lole at 40 to 1 (no engagement), and Guze;le, a mare well beaten last season, at 40 to 1 ; in the mecatattelet fi S t t l a d k . es. sir Besides t i li k e al a h l e io o r t e lot, e 1,0 there o G r e u Guineas a eas most. and re Ne s ;• has two, Mr. 'Thornhill three, besides the ore above named, and very good looking they are : Forth, I believe trains four. I do not fee: called upon to notice more particularly any of the thirty or forty others reported to be in training at present. A paragraph has appeared in several newspapers to the effect that Lord George Bentinek refused to sign "the paper agreeing to abide by the present laws of the JoekTy Club, and any others that may hereafter be made," demanded of every sub scriber to the betting-room at Tattersall's. You will allow me to explain, Sir, that Lord George Bentinck's objection was limited to the after part of th e conditions, which I write in italics, and, considering all the circumstances, it is not sur prising. We very naturally think twice before taking a fence, with ever so indis inet a notion that there may be possibly a mail pit on the other side. As the proceedings of the Jockey Club hare been the cause of so much d:scussion and some correspondence, perhaps you will be so good as to publi h the subjoined list of its mt mbcrs. JUDEX. March 7.

REPRESENTATION OF BRIGIITON.—The unfortu nate failure of Messrs. Wigney's bank will cause a vacancy in the borough, and there is now a favourable opportunity for a gentleman of Liberal principles to offer himself for the represen tation of Brighton in the Imperial Parliament. As this will be a single election, it is most important that the Liberals should be united. The Tories are active and sanguine, but their defeat is certain if the Liberals are true to themselves, arid if they are fortunate enough to obtain a candidate worthy of their confidence and support. We hope and trust that we shall be able in our next to announce that such a candidate is in the field. Since the above was written we have received the following paragraph om an influential quarter:—" We are authorised to state that, as a vacancy must shortly arise in the representation of this borough, active measures are in progress for the maintenance of the Liberal interest. In the meantime the electors are cau tioned against committing themselvesby any premature pledge." —Brighton Herald. [Mr. Laurence Peel, brother to the Right Hon.

CHATHAM, AlAncu 3.—A General Court-martial was held this day in the General Court-martial Room, Chatham Bar racks, for the purpo.e of try,ng the lion. Edward Sidney Plun kett, holding the rank of Lieutenant in the With Regiment. The Hon. J. C. Talbot attended as counsel for the de fendant. --; 111e Judge Advocate read the following charges : " I. For conduct unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman, in having, at a late hour of the night, on Friday, the 21st of anuary, 1642, together with other officers, made a great noise and disturbance in the barracks at Chatham, in the course of which disturbance, the door of the room of Ensign Bridges, of the 95th Regiment, who was theri'in such room, and in bed, was violently broken in by one of the officers, and being the !cnior officer present while such disturbance and acts of violence were taking place, in no having endeavoured to prevent and repress them, but in having given encouragement to and joining in them. " 2. For conduct unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman, in having, on the night and about tile time mentioned in the fir-t charge, proceeded with the said officers and with other officers, his juniors, to the room of Ensign Carew, of the 95th Regiment, in the said barracks, and then drinking to excess with su :h officers, and in havin.r, on such occasion introduced into the said room, and to the company of such officers, a woman of loose and abandoned character, with whom he, the said Lieutenant Plunkett, was at the time cohabiting, such conduct being subversive of good order and military discipline. "3. For having, after he had on the occasion beforemen_ tioned, and as senior officer present, placed Ensign Carew in arrest for striking Ensign Bains, another of the officers pre sent, and afterwards continuing in his company, and at last overturning the tables with the bottles, glasses, and other articles thereon, at the same time throwing down the said Ensign Carew, such conduct being, &c. "4. For neglecting on the said night of the 21st of January, ! or on the follow it g morning, to report to his commanding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Trevor, the conduct of Ensign Carew beforementioned, or that he the said Lieutenant Plan ket had placed the said Ensign Carew under arrest, such con duct being, &c. " b. For baying at Sheerness, the.2oth of Deoember, 1841, entered the house of William Cole, butcher and confec tioner, and causing wine to be sent for by William Cole, and in not having then or since paid for the same ; and for tisen and there violently assaulting the said William Cole, and damaging and destroying certain articles of furniture, the property of the said William Cole, such conduct, &c." . _ The defendant pleaded not guilty. The Commanding Officer of the depot, Lieut.-Col. Trevor, then addressed the Court at some length. The first witness examined was Major Halifax, of the 95th Regiment, whose evidence was inconclusive he did not con sider the disturbance such as to warrant him in reporting it to his general officer. Ensign William Bridges sworn, said—l remember Friday night, the 21st of January last. Some persons came to my door that night. One of the persons was, I believe, Mr. Baines. I cannot speak of a certainty to any other. At the time they came to my door I was in bed, and from what oc curred 1 got up, and I found the panel of my door was broken in. I understood Mr. Baines Croke it in. I did not see Mr. Plunkett present at the disturbance. I did not see Mr. Plunkett until I went into Mr. Carew's room. When I vrent there the others I alluded to in the party were Ensign Dicks, Ensign Armstrong, of the 41st, and Lieut. Plunkett. I went into Ensign Carew's room by myself. The party there were taking supper, and after supper they continued drinking wine. When Mr. Carew knocked Mr. Baines down, I saw no provocation given for such conduct. Mr. Carew picked Mr. I!aines up. Mr. Baines said to Mr. Plunkett, "Do you s•e that, Lieutenant Plunkett." Mr. Plunkett said to Mr. Carew, " Consider yourself under an arrest." Mr. Carew begged Mr. Baines's pardon, and he was told it was too late. I saw the table fall, and Mr. Carew under it. Mr. Baines fell like wise, but how it happened I cannot say. Previous to my leav ing I did not hear Lieutenant Plunkett release Ensign "Carew from arrest. There was a female introduced into the room. I cannot say by whom. I did not know her. Lieutenant Plunkett remained drinking in the room after he bad placed Ensign Carew under arrest. Lieutenant Plunkett was sober. Lieutenant Plunkett remained during the whole time that I was there. The party broke up about two o'clock in the morning. It being four o'clock, the Court adjourned. BEAT WESTERN STEAM-SIIIP COMPANY.—The general meeting of the Shareholders of the above Company was held on Thursday last, at the Company's offices, Prince's street. In the first place a dividend of 15s. per share was de clared, and it was announced that the great iron steamer, Great Britain, would be ready to be launched in March, 1543. A lengthened discussion ensued respecting the alternate sail ing of the Great Western from Bristol and Liverpool, and the financial condition of the Company. Mr. Mare strongly con demned the former proceeding; the Great Western was designed for the benefit of Bristol, and if any one would second his proposition he would, rather than the ship should be " bastardized," be removed to that port, propose that the affairs of the Company should be wound up, and closed altogether. The explanation offered of the removal was, that owing to the difference in the port charges, and other expenses, the Great Western could be cleared out at Liverpool for 2001. less than at Bristol. An examination of her freightage also showed that only a com paratively smel portion was•derived from and consigned to Bristol. The original prospectus and the inducements therein held out to subscribers, were brought on the tapis and con trasted with the present state of the Company's affairs. Mr. R. Bright, by whom the chair was taken, urged the Share holders to go on for another year, taking advantage of the markets of Bristol and Liverpool ; by that time their new vessel would be completed, and they would then be better enabled to judge as to the course which it would be adviiable to pursue. A resolution in accordance with these views, was, we believe, ultimately agreed to.—Bristol Mercury. On Saturday the Duke of Cambridge paid a visit to the Hanwell Lunatic Asylum. His Royal Highness arrived at eleven o'clock, and remained until half-past one. The Duke expressed himself highly delighted with all the arrangements, and particularly with the abstinence from restraint in the treat ment of the patients—a principle which he considered to be the only sound one to be acted upon in reference to the malady with which they were afflicted.

The accounts from Batavia and other pails of Java, allude generally, in terms of dissatisfaction, to the Government mono po!ies which press upon the resources of the colonise, for although the products of the island exported to fo reign parts, amount to the very considerable sum of 20,000,000 florins annually, the island itself is only benefited to the extent of one half of that a m, as the Govern ment in reality buys up the whole produce for about 10,0,':0,000 florins, which it pays for too, in a de preciated copper currency. In the same. manner too, the import trade affords no fair criterion of the 1 ro verity of the colony, for seven-eighths of all the goods received are the produce of Government monopoly manu faetories. It appears to be seriously in contemplation by the Dutch Government to establish steam com munication between Holland and Java this year ; and there ought to be some attempt made, we think, to obtain Tor Britl.ll commerce Rose just privileges to which, by existing treaties, it is entitled, and for which our merchants have long petitioned in ♦ain.

(3271:1TH CONSTANTIN g you with a l Leval and authenti c • ; copy of the subjoined note of the Minister of Foreign Affities of the Sublime Porte to the Baron de Bourqueney, the French 2Tinister Plenipoten tiary, I hope that I a fn ird the means ofat onee p m clearing up the mystery which has enveloped the late negotiations with respect to Tunis, and in explanation of which so many erroneous and mutilated versions have been already given to the public. The whole drift of the Baron de Bourqueney's communication to the Porte upon this subject embraced two propositions, tend ing both of them to establish the same point—viz., the inexpediency at the present moment of an y c h ange on the part of the Porte in the administration of the Pacha lie of Tunis. Firstly, because in the unsettled state of the Regency of Algiers, the, removal from office of Ach met Pacha„ the presvnt Governor of Tunis, in whose ho nourable intentions the French Government repered the greatest confidence, and the appointment in his place of :t functionary whose views and dispositions were un known to it, and who might possibly embroil the rela tions of the two countries, could not he regarded but with great alarm and jealon3y by the French Cabinet ; and secondly, because the duties incumbent on the Governor of Tunis, and the tribute due to the Porte, would hence t;,rward receive for their fulfilment and punctual liquida tion an additional security in the guarantee of the French Government ; and that, for these reasons, the dismissa of Aeltmet Paella was equally uncalled for and inadmis sible. Convinced by these very powerful arguments (to say nothing of the presence of six French ships of the fine at Smyrna) the Secretary for Fereign Affairs, barim Effendi, spared no pains to reassure his Excellency, the French Minister, with respect to the pacific intentions of the Sublime Porte, and to receive with the most grateful achno;‘lcdgments on its behalf, the liberal offer made to it by the French Cabinet, of exacting the due per formance of the duties incumbent on his vassal. It would undoubtedly consider itself fortunate, could it ob tain a similar assurance and security for the revenues and administration of every Pachalic of the empire. As these assurances of &trim Effendi were at first conveyed de rive voix, the Baron de Bourqueney, in order to have some record of the result of the several conferences be had held with the Minister, was, at his p ar ti cu l ar request, furnished with thi s following: note : TRANSLATION FROM THE TURKISH OF THE ANSWER OF THE MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS-Of-THE PORTE TO A NOTE RELATIVE TO THE REGENCY OF " The report of a determination of the Sublime Porte, with reference to a change in the actual form of the Go vernment- of Tunis, having reached the French Cabinet, I was desired, in our last conference, by your Excellency, to give you a fitll and explicit explanation on this Sub ject. It certainly cannot be denied that many reports have been lately disseminated on this head, and his Ex cellency Resellid Paella having received a communication from the Freneh Government thereon, had referred to the Sublime - POrte.for instructions. His IniPerial Ma jesty's Governmeiit,-as I had bbfore the honour to de clare:verbally t(i'your Eicelleney, has never meditated any change in -the present form of the Government of Tunis, and, in thb event of Achmet Podia, the Governor of that Pachalic, always fulfilling the duties of his station, and paying the stipulated tribute, the Govern ment of his Ifighne:s engages to refrain, even as regards the future, from all designs or projects to his prejudice, or having for their object a change in the Administration of that Pachalic. Iteschid Paella, I have the honour to inform your Excellency, has been formally directed to ratify these negotiations at Paris, and therefore I am fully authorised to apprise your Excellency that the Sublime Porte, as I have already intimated, has come to no such determination on this Iliad, and that it harbours none but such as may have for its sole end the pre servation of the public tranquility ; and I avail myself of the opportunity afforded me by the transmission of these written demonstrations, of repeating the assurance of my high con , ideration. (Signed) " SARIM." THE NEW PENSION LIST. (From the Spectator.) When the reformed system of Civil List Pensions was settled by the Whigs, the Crown was empowered by Parliament to create new pensions to the amount of 1,2001. in each year. We have before us a returns show ing how the last year's 1,200/. was disposed of There were sixteen recipients. Here they are, in the order in which the pensions were granted, but subject to a classi fication not made in the Parliamentary return.

Jhe dispenser of the Royal favour for 1840- 1841 seems to have hit upon an ingenious converse to that rule. If we take the 1,2001. in its three divisions, we find that it was awarded in these proportions— Fur teaching one -joung lady (not understood to be a dull or troublesome pupil) For encountering hardship 111 d danger in the public service 260 For promoting the science and literature of the world 290 Devotion to one'... country and dei otion to mankind are :Thom, upon a par ; but devotion to one young lady, who has become a Queen, beats them both together in the proportion of 65 to 55.

Face insurrection, and you shall be set down for of the pay awarded to the estimable female who puts Thalberg at the tips of the young lady's fingers. To extend the knowledge of the greatest hur -1 rature of the ancient world, is of equal price with shap ing the lips of the young lady aforesaid to execute the graces which distinguish a celebrated singer at public dinners and sacred entertainments. Such was the sacrifice made by thwe respectable persons at the top of the list, in accepting the very best terms for attending at Kensin ton Palaett, and in sr curing the best possible advertise ment of their merits—a kind of puff which would fetch any money in the market—that they are to be pensioned for life ! IVlien the young Princess's schooling was o v er, we thought the bills were paid. Not at all ; the country is called upon to throw in 6501. a-year as a makeweight —as if fur do sake of keeping up the pay for the lad's teaching until that for her children's tutoring shall begin. What an invaluable secret it would be if all the owners of " establishments for young ladies" could keep their pupils on their bills till they should become mothers The Duke of Wellington once praised Lord Melbourne for his servicm'as Mentor to young loyalty ; but the , too agreeable Viscount, it appOrs, forgot to instruct his !'pupil in the common duty of keeping private and official accounts- distinct and even. The huge Pravy , Purse.of 60,00 a ap ar was provided to secure. the gratification ,; of its holder's personal feelings; the sumL set apatt,, to satisfy what may be called the public feelinf of the Sovereign, the desire to encourage public merit seldoni remunerated, is not so large in proportion that one-half of it should bear the overflowing charges of the Privy Purse. Lord Melbourne forgot State arithmetic in his drawing-room lectures on Constitutional law. ‘l 5 10, AI nch Sir 1-,hat sins .e and tthi vith fied: )po • able the d of that UM' iun - . ttive t b the only ty of eilat enCh ~r, 50 111 2 5 16 2 5 ' fi2 PEP het t h !on - It 15
