EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT.—An inquest was held o❑ Tuesday, at the Bristol Royal Infirmary, before Mr. J. B. Grinnon, the city coroner, on the body of Henry Barrel, whose death was occasioned in the following sin gular manner :—The deceased was a gardener in the employment of Mr. George, of Cotham, 32 years of age, and en Monday afternoon he went to St. Philip's, for the purpose of ordering some tan for the garden: In Elbroad•street, which was in the way, are some steam sawmills belonging to Messrs. Fear, and when the ma chinery is in motion it is not uncommon for a number of persons to congregate round the gate t) watch the progress of the work. The deceased found a group of spectators looking on in this way, and he himself went and stood among them. A small circular saw was being worked at a speed of about 1,000 revolutions per minute, cutting a pieco of crooked birch to a sharp edge. There happened to be hollows in the birch, and as they passed through one of these a piece of the timber broke off. It was a long piece with a pointed end, and, as in falling it came against the back of the saw, it was hurled with fearful violence into the street, and striking the deceased, who stood at a distance of about twenty-seven feet from the saw, penetrated near the bottom of his neck to the depth of between 3 and 4 inches. The poor fellow staggered a few paces, and im mediately held his head forward, when it was observed that blood was streaming from the wound is an alarming Tiantity. The deceased was immediately conveyed to the infirmary, but be died almost immediately upon his ad mission. A post mortem examination showed that the stick had divided two of the largest blood-vessels, and Mr. Powells, the assistant house-surgeon, was of opinion that even had medical relief been at hand it would have been unavailing. The jury returned a verdict of "Ac cidental death," but recommended that in future the ma chinery should be covered by a proper fence. Mr. Fear, sen., who expressed the deepest regret at the occurrence of the accident, undertook that the suggestion of the jury should be carried out. The deceased, who bore an excellent character, was a married man, and has left a widow and three children. . _ THE EAST INDIA COMPANY'S SERVICE.—The Rev. Robt.

The Special Commission will open to-day at Cavan, for the trial of the persons charged with the murder of Miss Hinds, and to dispose of seve ral other serious cases. The Judges are Chief Justice Monahon and Mr. Justice Moore. The Attorney General prosecutes in person, and be will be assisted by Mr. Jonathan Christian, the Solici tor-General. Great interest is felt in reference to the murder case, as some strange revelations are expected in connection with the extent of the Riband conspiracy in the northern counties. DREADFUL NCRDE R. Letters have been received in town this morning, stating that Mrs. Kelly, of 63, Upper Baggot street, whose name has been before the public for some years, and who had been left a sum of money of nearly half a million by her late husband, Mr. S Kelly, of Rookwood, county of Galway, was wil fully murdered yesterday evening, at 6 o'clock, on her own lands at Ballinderry, within half-a-mile of the town of Moate, in the county of Westmeath. The foul murder was perpetrated by two assassins dressed i n petticoats an d bl ac k ve il s . Sh or tly after the murder the police were on the alert, and two persons in respectable station of life were ar rested on suspicion of being parties to the murder and are now in custody. RESPITE OP THE CONVICT MUSSETT.—ErnMa Mussett, the woman convicted and sentenced to death at Bury St. Edmund's assizes, for the murder of her infant, a t Nayland, near Colchester, hes been respited " until th e further signification of her Majesty's pleasure." Eli (Front the Times of this day.y - The bill of Mr. Milner Gibson,for the aboia. Ay of the Oath of Abjuration once more brings us - ba t) the question of Jewish disabilities. It is is old statute intended to guard the succession to the throne that the words " On the true faith of a Christian" occur. These words form the sole bar to the admission of a Jewish member of Parliamenb to take his seat. It is now nine years since the ques tion has been practically brought before the country by the election of a Jew to represent the city of Lon don. Year after year has exhibited the same strange and undignified spectacle. The House of Commons has invariably affirmed the principle of admitting Jews to Parliament, and has been willing to alter the terms of the cath by which they were acci dentally excluded. The Lords, on the other hand, have persisted in rejecting their claims, but in so doing have avoided a fair discussion of the real question. It is evident that if Jews are to be ex cluded from being representatives of the people the objsction must be founded either on some imme morial English law which is not to be changed, or on some natural unfitness in the claimants them selves. Now, on neither of these grounds have the Lards argued the matter fairly. As for the histo rical question, they have not a word to say. The statement that the Jews are aliens has been once or twice feebly uttered, bet only to be proved un true by any one who chose to remind the House that every one born in the realm is a British sub ject, and that Jews may hold land and advaw sons, fill municipal offices, and receive commissions in either service, just like other Englishmen. It is not denied that the words which the Jew cannot consistently utter were never intended to exclude him ; but, if not merely expletive, were meant to guard against the tendency to mental reservation which Catholics were supposed to receive from the teachings of Jesuitical casuists. As for any settled policy of excluding Jews from public functions, nothing of the kind can be found in our annals for long befora the Oath of Abjuration was framed. That the Jews were then a people living apart, deeming themselves and deemed by others a race cut . off from the world, is true enough ; that they never thought of seeking office or entering Parliament any more than Gipsies at the present time may be admitted; but no law or custom spoke of them as distinct from other sub jects, and no tradition can now he cited by those who would reject their claims. On the other hand, if it be right that Jews, as disbelievers in Chris tianity, should be excluded from the Legislature, honest politicians are morally bound to argue tha case on its own merits. It is admitted that the present form of words was cot intended to exclude Jews, and those who desire to exclude them should not take advantage of its unforeseen effect, but boldly bring forward a measure which should make Christianity essential to a member of Parliament-, declare the election of Baron Rothschild void, and require the Speaker to issue a new writ fi r London. Mr. Milner Gibson's bill, the second reading of which was carried by a majority of 230 to 195, pro poses to abolish an oath framed a century and a half since to secure the Protestant succession against the claims of the Stuarts. By as is well known, each person who takes his seat in Par liament abjures all allegiance to any descendant of the Pretender, and promises to uphold the succes sion as provided in the Act of Settlement. Mr. Gibson urged the arguments which must occur to every thinking man. The descendants of the Pre- . tender are all extinct, and Englishmen in the 19th century are compelled to abjure allegiance to persons who have no existence. Any one, there- fore, who looks upon an oath as a serious thing, and considers as an evil the useless multiplisa.tion of such sacred promises, must wish to see this vain formality at once abolished. This oath, ac cording to strict law, has to be taken by a great number of persons holding various offices, and even following some private professions, and it is only by an annual act of indemnity that such persons are released from the effect of their disobedience. Such a condition of things ought clearly no longer to exist, and it is difficult to con ceive what argument could be used in favour of the law, except that it had been framed by wise ances tors, and ought not to be tampered with by us. In the van, however, of opponents came Sir F. Thesiger, who moved that the bill be read that day six months, and urged that, though the Pretender's line had failed, yet the oath was needful to uphold the Protestant succession. There was danger in unsettling the foundations of the present Royal family's rights. Lord J. Russell and. Lord Lynd hurst had on former occasions when urging the abolition of this oath consented to retain the clause about the Protestant succession, incorporating it with some other oath. Mr. Gibson had not done so, and therefore the bill should be r e j e cted. In deference to these objections it was conceded by the promoters of the measure that the Protestant succession should receive due recognition in the Oath of Supremacy, or some other ancient form of words. But such a concession was little likely to satisfy Sir F. Thesiger and his friends. In fact, this bill was a Jew bill, and their zeal for Protes tantism and the issue of the Princess Sophia was promoted only by the fear of seeing the represen tative for London take his seat after nine years' exclusion. The repetition of the old arguments came iu due course. The removal of the "words "On the true faith of a Christian" would be a direct attack on the Christian character of the house. The great men who Worded the Oath of Abj nration designed not only to abut out the Stuarts, but to assure the Christian character of the Legislature, which would be lost if a Jew were admitted. Mr. Napier warned the house against leaving the Protestant succession and the Christian character of the country open questions. Mr. Walpole held that Jews might be magistrates, be cause they only administered laws ; but not mem bers of Parliament, because they would have to make them. In fact, all was said against the bill that has been said during nearly a decade of ses sions. The Premier and Mr. Disraeli, however, both supported the motion, which was carried, and the bill was read a second time. Nothing has occurred to change the opinion which we have held during so many years. Put ting aside the question of obsolete oaths, we take the measure as it concerns the claims of the Jews. The case is simply one of right. No vague oratory about unchristianising the Legislature, no palpably untrue assertions about the Jews being aliens, can have any effect when once the case is clearly un derstood. The English Jew is just as much an Englishman as the English Christian. The country has long recognised the right of every subject to share all the privileges which belong to his fellows. Religious tests have been abolished in the case of every other sect. The law refuses to recognise any distinction of race or religion. Parliament itself has heretofore adopted the principle of complete equality. It has allowed the Independent, the Uni tarian, and the Jew to be Alderman and Lord Mayor, Sheriff, or Lord-Lieutenant. On the grounds, therefore, of natural right, of analogy, and even of positive law, we assert that the last restriction on the rights of one sect of British sub jects should be taken away. Can it be believed that common sense or public opinion is against such a concession ? If so, let the opponents of the Jews bring forward a bill on the subject. Will the Lords send down to the Commons a measure for the ex press exclusion of the Jews! Would they be equally zealous if the question were not whether an old form of oath s hould be maintained, but whether a new one s hould be established ? If the words of the oath were intended to include Jews, either directly or in conjunction with other heterodox sects, then it is the duty of Parliament to pass a bill declaring the election of Baron Rothschild void. If they were not so intended, then it is unworthy of a great party and of a branch of the Legislature to make such Use of a clause to which circumstances unfore seen when it was framed have given an accidental importance. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 10, 1856. GREAT WESTERN OF CANADA RAILWAY. Yesterday the proprietors ,of this company held their ordinary half-yearly meeting at the London Tavern; J. B. Smith, Eq., M.P., the Chairman of the English Board, presiding. The report, which was published in The Sun of Tuesday, was then read. The CHAIRMAN observed that the recent act, of Parlia ment required that the half-yearly meetings should be held in Canada; but so large an amount of the stock was now held in this country that it was thought fitting to hold half-yearly meetings also in London. The report, which he bad read with some satisfaction, was a very fall, and, he believed, a very honest statement of the condition of the property. The traffic had been very great. The railway had developed itself at a much earlier period than perhaps even the most sanguine had anticipated. There had bee❑ some temporary suspension during the past winter in con sequence of the unprecedentedly severe weather in Canada and throughout the United States. They could scarcely form an ilea of the mischief which ensued to the American railways from the extreme cold. The Michigan Central, out of 71 engines had had 42 disabled in consequence of the cast iron wheels, which were generally used in the American engines, being brulten . by the frost. The Ame rican engines of this company had also suffered, but fortu nately a considerable portion of the engines were of Eng lish manufacture, the wheels of which being made - of wrought iron, withstood the effects of the cold better than the cast wheels ; and he might add, that, anticipating da mage from this cause, the directors had sent out wrought iron wheels; which were now on their way to the colony, for all their American engines. He thought they might look to a considerable increase of traffic as soon as the wea ther.moderated. By the last return they were informed that a thaw had set in, and that in consequence there had been an increase of 50 per cent. as compared with the corresponding period of the previous year. The traffi3 would, no doubt, continue to increase, but to develope it fully, a considerable addition to the engines, Tolling stock, and station accommodation would be required. The di rectors, however, were at present anxious above all things to keep down the capital account. Until they saw their way clear to an adequate return for the outlay, they wished to avoid adding to the expenditure on account of capital ; acting upon that view, they had suspended for the present the doubling of the line as had been intended. The larger portion of their traffic consisted of what was called foreign traffic, commencing at Detroit and going on to the. Niagara Bridge. Now, the Miobigan Central, with which their line was connected on the one side, and the New York Central, which joined them on the other, were both of them single lines, and neither of them was ade quately provided with rolling stock, the consequence of which was that the traffic was sometimes delayed at both ends, the connecting lines being unable to take it on as it arrived. Therefore to spend half a million in doubling the line and providing rolling stock, until their neighbours did the same, would be to invest capital where there was no prospect of an immediate return. The London board had, however, requested the Canada directors to communicate with the companies he had named, to ascertain what their intentions were in regard to doubling their lines and in creasing their rolling stocks, and of course they would act accordingly. The directors had distributed the remaining portion of the capital stock, considering, first, that the existing shareholders were entitled to participate in any beneficial interest arising from that stock, and secondly, that it would place the finances of the company on a sound and stable footing, and enable them at the proper time to go into the market and borrow money upon the best terms. Anticipating the return of a period when the public would be anxious to invest in securities of the sound and stable character which this company could offer, and in order to be prep2.red for it the board bad requested the directors on the other side of the water to ascertain from the Co lonial Government whether they would allow the company to pay off the debt due to them, and to grant an act of Parliament authorising the raising of the funds in such manner as the directors and the shareholders might deem most expedient. That question was now under the con sideration of the Canadian board, and in due time the re sult would be known. The board set aside the sure which was payable annually to the Colonial Government, in re demption of the debt as a depreciation fund, being about equal to the amount of the depreciation the permanent way might be supposed to sustain. This would enable them at all times honestly to divide the whole net amount of profits, and to offer to the investing public such a security as no other railway could present—by assuring them that they could not be called upon, as in many cases the pro prietors of English railways had been, to pay out of cur rent profits the expense of renewing the line, which the shareholders who preceded them ought to have paid. In conclusion, he moved that the report of the proceedings of the general meeting, held at Hamilton on the 12th March, 'be received and adopted. The motion having been seconded, Mr. HERAPATH thought some explanation should be given of the loss of 2 per cent. arising from the working of steam-boats on Lake Ontario, The CHAIRMAN attributed the steam-boat speculation to want of experience on the part of the Canadian directors. The neighbouring lines had established steam-boats in the expectation that it would bring traffic to the line. The Canadian directors of this company had followed that ex ample, but in each case the result had boon disappoint ment. His own opinion had been that th 9 steam-boats would be a failure from the first, and he had felt this so strongly that when the 50,0001. had been spent upon the boats he had stated that the best thing for the company to do with them was to burn them. ➢lr. CADOGAN inquired what amount of profit had ac crued on the sale of shares and issue of bonds from the commencement of the concern? and, if that information could not be given, perhaps the secretary would state what had be3n the amount of profit from this source in the last half-year. The CHAIRMAN replied that it was stated in the report that the profit from this source in the last half-year had been 22,8391. Mr. CADOGAN would discuss that; but he could state from other information that 64,0001., or N per cent. upon the whole of the capital, had been made to the good since the commencement by these sales and issues. It appeared that 22,000/. had been placed to the capital account as a liquidation fund, or to meet the depreciation which ab sorbed the half-year's profit from the sale of shares, and to issue debentures was illegal and unfair. It was profit like any other profit, and the shareholders were entitled to the 2 per cent. extra which that amount would have given to them. The issue of the glares reduced the dividend on the one hand, while on the other they were mulct of BO much dividend as this 22,0001. odd would have afforded. Ho urged the attention of the shareholders to this point, because if the principle were good as to the 22,0001. it might become convenient to extend it to the 64,0001. He suggested that this appropriation of the money of the shareholders in Canada might arise from the power being in the hands of the Canadian direr ion, and its be ing exercised with ou t re f erence t o t h e f act that the London shareholders hold 9-10ths of the whole of the stock. The London board ought to take a high tone in dealing with the Canadian board, to insist upon a strict superintendence of the expenditure. The Great Western of Canada Railway was in such a position that it did not require to take 2 per cent. from earnings and place it to the credit of capital to enable the company to hold its own. Mr. L. HEYWORTX admitted that this money belonged to the present shareholders and should not be placed to the credit of the future shareholders, which was the effect of the course taken. He was an advocate for keeping the capital and profit and loss accounts distinct. There might have been losses, but he would say let those losses be ascer tained and paid out of these exceptional profits, and the balance handed over to the shareholders. Mr. HAwes contended that the mode in which the ac counts were kept was most objectionable. It must not, however, be supposed that the whole of the 61,000/. Mraß profit, for the sale of the sh ares an d b onds, it appeared, had cost in commission and expenses the enormous sum of 44,000 1 . The English shareholders had not that influence in the management which their numbers and the large pro portion of stock field by them entitled them to. The board had sent out Mr. Bridges, whose name he observed was not appended to the report, and he could only suppose that the reason was disagreement with the Canadian directors, 7noop.er c H en e t. co h u a l d d not understand arising from his zeal for the interests of the English pro prietore. He complained thatgoonfethieninecxrpe 2 per cent. of what was due to them, for the e a n se se o s f ; 88,0001. in why they ei T gcl e . e made some remarks condemnatory of the those who came after them. t speculation, and urged the importance of com oibssuhtieleolunitaynehmrlfie2.a.t6btpf,olooo::oollT plating the Sanai branch, in order to meet the competition of rival lines. Mr. BRAITHWAITE disputed the opinion that profit aris ing from other sources than the legitimate business of the I com p an y, that was its traffic, should be shared or divided • it ought to go to the credit of capital. M r . HERAP.A.TH and several other proprietors took the contrary view. The CHAIRMAN explained that during the construction of the line the shareholders received 6 per cent, interest on calls paid in advance. This absorbed 1 50,0031., in ad dition to which 44,5021. had been expended in agencies on the sale of the bonds and shares, and he contended that the honest course was to devote the money arising from the profit on shares or bonds to the liquidation of these charges which had attended the construction of the line. The Sanai branch was going on, and would probably take 18 months or two years to complete. Mr. GILL (a director) held that the 6 per cent. interest paid on calls ste , s properly a charge upon capital. He could not admit that profits were to be reduced in order to re place that charge. There had been a question at the board whether the profits made from premiums upon the sale of shares and bonds should be written off from capital account or not, and it was the general feeling that it should go for the present to a suspense account, leaving it to the share holders hereafter to deal with it as they thought fit. He annum, con shared in the feeling of dis satisfaction expressed by sev era l dorproprietorsng the a business u t s h i the dividendess which of h aBd perbeen c done. ent pe lie r they ought to have 10 per cent. at least. In reply to a question, The CHAIRMAN stated that Mr. Ratcliffe, the vice-presi dent, represented the English board in Canada, and had their entire confidence, and received a salary of 1,500/. a-year currency. Mr. Bridges, the manager, received the same salary. Mr. CADOGAN moved , as an amendment to the adoption of the report, that the appropliation of the profits mad e struction account was unjust to the shareholders, and an by the sale of shares and the issue of bonds to capital con unwarrantable deviation from the constitution of the com pany, and that the 22 , 8001 . , the balance arising therefrom r in the past half-yea , should be placed to a susp ense ac count, to be dealt with hereafter at the pleasure of the shareholders. The amendment was seconded, and after several proprie tors had spoken, some for and some against it, the latter appearing to be the majority, Mr. HatvEs recommended that the amendment should be withdrawn. Mr. CADOGAN consented, but justified himself for tpro posing it by th e fa c t that the board themselves had tak en the same view in a letter they had addressed to the Cana dian directors. - - Tlie original resolution was tbet put .and carriad i and the. dividend haviiig been declared, a resolution was submitted and carried that the sum appropriated as payment for the serviee. of the eleven directors in London and in Canada should be 2,0001. currency, instead of 1,0001. currency as heretofore.

THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC/ EXEOUTIONER.—There are already four candidates—one of whom is represented as baying received a liberal education—for the office of public executioner, although Calcraft has not yet been discharged. What recommendation being an educated man may be for the situation of common hanginan.it ie impossible to imagine. At the last vacancy there were only two candidates—Smith, a discharged soldier, and Calcraft. On the 4th of April, 1829, the day of election, Smith represented that when in the Peninsula he was invariably selected as cine of 12 men to shoot criminals.

C. C. GREVILLE. THE MINSTRELSY OF PEACE. (From, the Morning Advertiser.) The " minstrelsy of war" is at an end for the present. Of late, indeed, there has been but little temptation in it for British bards. Who could pretend to the divine afflatus concerning the exploits of an army, checked by the telegraph, and commanded by Simpson? That there wera glorious deeds performed by individual, as v‘ell as regimental bravery, none can dispute ; but a poet must feel for his country, and routine dis;usts the Muse, while betrayal shocks her. Possibly, it is for this cause that such strains of poetry as were at first heard have utterly died away. As we I ave presented several of Mr. Richards' poems on the war to our readers, so now we give insertion tJ a composition on "the peace." Let it not be imagined that the satire of the writer stamps him as a blood-thirsty man, one who would urge on the dogs of war, while remaining himself in safety—a reproach with which the press is not unfrequently favoured by those whom it censures. The writer of these bitter lines may have felt more deeply than the easy acceptors of peace-at-any-price the melancholy sacrifice of our soldiers. For such a c)nstimaiation as this peace, we nsay exclaim with the peace-mongers—Ought we ever to have gone to war at all ? We may observe that these lines are written in the supposition that we shall have an illumination for the peace ;—a notion which seems to have died away in consequence of a certain want of enthusiasm in its favour :--- AN ILLUMINATION ODE FOR THE PEACE. Illuminate for Asia ! - Kars' garrison betray'd ; A Bude-light for each window By Routine idly made. Flare up for naval triumphs • By Englishmen not won, Ten million Russian candles, And gutter every one. Let Simpson's name pale flicker In gas-light, thus to tell How wavor'd in disorder His raw recruits, who fell. Oil lamps for night-cap'd Camara, That go out with a smell! Rushlights in rotten turnips Might do the thing as well. Let's have the Star of Airey, With Penmure's swoll'n device, Tarda podagra, o'er yon " Alarming sacrifice—" The Coburg decoration, Front " Garter" unto "Fleece," Let cringing tradesmen picture, To advertise the " Peace." A bonfire for Odessa, That stands in siatu quo ; What, if it cost our army Achilles' direful woo ? Transparencies for traitors, To mock their crafty lies ; With trophies for the hero, Who stern Macniell defies. The engineer and doctor Of staunch Crimean fame, Disaster could not waken— Mortality not shame— Shall welcom'd be by emblems In characters of flame ; Let dinner lists at Windsor Tell each ill-omen'd name. And o'er the Horse-guards' portals, 'Neath Lombards' triple sign, 0 word of mystic wonder ! Resplendent " Dowb" shell shine. Let undertakers honour The Marshal old and brave, Who bow'd away an army Into a needless grave. Peace to his troubled manes ; The crime is theirs who sent His white hairs to the ruin Of services long spent. Illuminate for Hango ! The Tiger's cruel doom, In characters of fire Be blazon'd through the gloom. The red glare of Sinope Glow fierce in Dawning-street, When secret orders palsied Each thunder-freighted fleet. Let crimson cloth deep trailing O'er balcony suggest The fields of blood, where perish'd Our bravest and our best— Perish'd, all unavailing, That drivelling lips might shame, Amid the jeers of Europa, Our honour, faith, and name ; That fumbling hands might quiver To speed the tyrant's work, And seal, with self-destruction, Betrayal of the Turk. Peace ? With our German Legion ! Peace? With the spy at home ! Peace ? With the Gaul at Stamboul ! His myrmidons at Rome ! The Pole, revil'd and trampled— The sad Hungarian, doore'd To fetter, cord, and dungeon— Italia's cause entomb'd ? Circassia, still deserted, To struggle, and to bleed, And hapless Denmark fated To glut the Cossack's greed ? By double-headed Vulture, Like carrion dragged in gore, The Wallach and Moldavian, That, living, bled before-- While there await - the Tartar, That traffick'd with our host, The gory knout suspended, Siberia's icy coast-- Illuminate, ye Britons And, drunk with gold, defy, Blind helots of your masters, Fair Western Liberty. A skeleton in fetters, Slow rises from the grave Of peoples to whom, dying, Ye stretclid no hand to save. Burn gibbet-grease for tyrants— Gaol cressets trim for slaves— Shout, myrmidons, your triumphs— Smile, diplomats and knaves ! Illuminate, proud nation ! In dream of better trade : The sad pale brow of Freedom In dust again is laid. Illuminate,—to Mammon ! Rise not our " funds" this hour ? Heed not the steady sinking Of honour, glory, piwer, But, as the false glare conquers The city's lurid gloom, The lamp dies into darkness In sainted Valour's tomb. 'Neath yonder dim Cathedral, Where England's heroes lie, There steal 'mid shivering hearse-plumes A whisper and a sigh. [PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD• THE HIGHLAND SOCIETY OF LONDON. The anniversary of the battle of Alexandria (21st March) falling this year on Good Friday, the members of this society postponed their annual gathering till yes tering evening. The Duke of Argyll presided, supported by The Chisholm, Sir Charles Forbes, Bart:, and Sheriff Kennedy. Among others present, we observed the Saxon Minister, Captain Jay; R.N., C. Sutherland, J. H. Campbell; James Murray, Rev. Dr. Cumming, F. 11. Caldwell, Dr. Halley, J. G. Elsey (of the Bank of England), Thomas Macgregor, J. B mcher, and Messrs. Saudeman (2).. The Highland Society was instituted for the preservation of the garb, literature, and language of Caledonia, and is also the parent of the Caledonian lutri, in which are educated and clothed the orphans and children of needy- Scotchnsen. The entertainment last night was of the usual excellent' quality for which the Freemasons' Tavern is distinguished, Mr. Banks, its superintendent, leaving nothing undone for the comfort of the members and their friends. Tile great hall was tastefully decorated with the ar morial shields and tartans of variees clans, which, when filled with the company dressed in the martial costume of the 'Highlander, gave ,the whole scene a most fascinating appearance. In the musical department the performers were more numerous , than -at English Society dinners; besides a well c)n conducted instrumental band, there was the Queen's aid the C iledonißn Asylum's pipers, and the Juvenile hand of that institution, eaci of whom played through out the evening appropriate selections of national music;, added to these were a choir of vocal performers. Mr. Macgregor Simpeon, the Scottish', _-voeslist, was also present, and favoured the company with some favourite songs, in a style, so:netimes of pathos, at another of s-i much energy, that he completely absmbed their feelings, and received marked demonstrations of the pleasure his delivery gave them. _ _ The'noble CHAIRMAN gave the first toast, that of "The Queen and Prince Albert," which was drunk with rapturous applause, After the other toasts which are ordinarly drunk upon such oc anions, Mr. Alderman and Sheriff KitentEDY proposed "The Health of the President of the evening, his Grace the Duke of Argyll." In doing so he alluded to the dis tinguished position the Argyll family had occupied in history, and expressed the gratification he felt that the present duke's ability and high official position proved that in him the race had not regenerated. The toast having been drunk with Highland cheers, The Noble CHAIRMAN rose to acknowledge the com pliment. He thanked his friend Alderman and Sheriff Kennedy for the flattering manner in which he had spoken of him, and the company for the enthusiastic manner in which they had received the mention of his name. (Renewed cheers.) The Highland Society was established originally for social purposes—to maintain amongst Highlanders in this country that national spirit which was the greatest guarantee of national honour, and they had every reason to be satisfied with the suc cess which had attended it. (Hear, hear.) Highlanders had been found to have added by their influence some dignity to the United Kingdom not only in the naval and military services of the country, but in other important departments of the State. Mr. Macaulay, a hose his tory all of them had read, stated with perfect truth that previous to the year 1745 the highlands were but little known to the English, and laid down a poslion, in the truth of which he could not quite agree, that it was a kind of terror which kept the English away from that magnificent country—that they were afraid to look d.,wri the precipices from which they might fall and dash themselves to pieces, or to look up to those eagles which might in an hour or two be feasting on their bones. (Laughter.)' Now what a change hsd come over all this ! The Parliamentary sew-ion could scarcely close before all England was off to the High lands. This great change Mr. Macaulay attributed to the facilities for travelling which had been introduced, to the construction of new roads, the introduction of steam, and the comparatively easy manner in which people could bo wound up those tremendous mountains. But this was doing scanty jus tice not :illy to the Highlands and the Highlanders but to the English also, for he did not believe that the E,g lish were a people who through any feeling of fear would be likely to overlook natural beauties. They had shown, beyond all doubt, that they took peculiar pleasure in the scenes which the Highlands presented. He (the noble duke) attributed to Sir Walter Scott the whole change that had taken place. He had collected in his works all that was brilliant in regard to Scotland, and hence the strong feeling in its favour which now prevailed amongst all classes of Englishmen. (Cheers.) Af er a short pause, The Noble CHAIRMAN said it now became his duty to propose what he might justly term the toast of the even ing, that of "Abercrombie and the heroes who fell in Egypt," and to this he would join, " Those who fell in the Crimea." They would drink this toast this year under peculiar circumstances. England had had fre quent alliances with German nations, but recently she had fought side by side, and shoulder to shoulder with France, in friendly rivalry with the descendants of the very men whom Abercrombie and his heroes met face to face in battle. (Loud cheers.) It was for this reason that he would join with the usual toast on this occasion ; an occa,sion upon which they met to cele brate the battle of Alexandria—that of the heroes of the Crimea, many of whom belonged to the highland So ciety. One of the noble band, Col. Hunter Blair, was of their number. He was a gentleman who, although a member of the House of Commons, and engaged in public life, went forward at the call of duty to fight the battles of his country. He was amongst the first of those who fell at Inkerman. (Hear, hear.) He (the noble Chairman) could not help expressing a hope that the alliance to which he bad alluded might be an enduring alliance, for it was one which must inevitably tend to the promotion of civilisation and the common cause of Europe. Other toasts followed, and the company was addressed by the Saxon Minister, Captain Jay, Sir Chas. Forbes, the Chisholm, and other gentlemen. The duties of toastmaster were rendered a sinecure, by Dr. lialley—a Highlander of Athol—giving the honours in the Gaelic language, and after the fashion at High land gatherings of old. THE CORPORATION REFORM RILL. On Tuesday a Court of Aldermen was held, the doors of which were closed. The following resolution, to which the committee of the Court of Common Council agreed on Monday, was, we understand, introduced to the Court and adopted with the unanimous approbation of the aldermen : " The Right Hon. Sir George Gray, her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department, in intro ducing a bill into Parliament affecting the Corporation of this City, declared that, from the great antiquity of the corporation, its immemorial connection with the City, its historical association, and from the service it has rendered at various periods to the cause of civil and religious liberty, and of constitutional government, the Corporation of the City of London is entitled to be treated with all possible respect and consideration. "The Commissioners also, who had under her Ma jesty's commission investigated the state of the corpora tion, reported that they had found the utmost readiness in all quarters to assist them in the execution of their commission, as well by the governing members of the corporation as by their officers, and added that they had found nothing which could affect injuriously the honour and integrity of the officers to whom the affairs of the great corporation had been confided. "That with respect to the constitution of the Corpo• ration of London, an important distinction existed between that corporation and the other municipal bodies before they were reformed. The most striking defect in them was that they existed independently of the commu nities amongst which they were found, and is most plat s all identity of interest between the corporation and its inhabitants had disappeared. From this defect the Cor poration of London had been for many years exempt. The manner in which the Common Council is elected having produced to a great extent an identity of interests between the governing municipal body and the exist'ng municipal community ; and having secured to the latter a council representing their general opinions and feilingp, and so distinguishing the Corporation of London from the close corporations which then prevailed throughout the country. Receiving, therefore, with satisfaction these expressions as to the integrity and honour of the proceedings of this corporation, this committee sees with much surprise that a hill has been brought in, not restraining itself, as suggested, to the amend men t s which were assumed to be necessar y , bu t contaioing wide and sweeping provisions, injuriou s ly an d unneces sarily affecting the ancient r ig hts and privi!eges of the citizens of Loielon. The subject will, it is expected, undergo discussion in the Court of Common Council on Friday next. CROSSED CHECKS. The bill regarding crossed checks, in the futile form to which it has been reduced by a Govern ment "amendment," has just been rrinted. It Sim P l Y provides that crossed checks must pass through some banker—a custom already enforced in harmony with the opinion of the judges, and consequently requiring no legislation to insure its continuance. The evils intended to be met by the bill as it originally stood are to be left untouched, and the public must therefore still bear in mind, for their own security, that the crossing of checks with a banker's name will afford them no reliable protection against dishonesty cr carelessness on the part of those to whom such checks may be intrusted. FIRE IN HOLLAND sTßEET.—Yesterday evening a fire broke out on the premises of Messrs. Davall and Co., bacon dressers, 61, Holland-street, Blackfriars-road. Owing to the inflammable nature of the stock contained in the warehouse, a considerable amount of damage was 'nflicted before the flames could be subdued. The cause ,f the fire is not known.
