CRIPPLEGATE WARD WITHIN, LONDON.—At a Meeting of the Inhabitants of this Ward, holden on the 17th day of February, 1843; Sir MATTIIEIV WOOD, Bart., M.P., 'Alderman, in the Chair. It was moved by Mr. FROST, seconded by Mr. CoorEa, and unanimously resolved, That Corn and such other Provisions as enter most largely into the consumption of the poorest classes, are not legitimate objects of taxation, and ought to be exempt therefrom; be cause, as a much larger proportion of the expenditure of these classes is absorbed by such articles of common necessity than of their wealthier neighbours, it follows that if, viewed as a'tax upon income, the burden falls most oppressively upon those who are least able to bear it. Moved by Mr. LART, seconded by Mr. DEWAR, and unani mously resolved, That, independently of its direct influence as a tax, the duty levied upon foreign corn by means of the sliding scale, inflicts an indirect and greatly increased amount of injury by its con tinually shifting and variable character, thereby rendering the operations of the merchant, the manufacturer, and the farmer, uncertain and speculatife, and also greatly tending to produce those periodical and monetary panics which have so frequently deranged mercantile affairs, and which, by throwing the ma. dufacturing population out of employment, have been produc tive of so much destitution, misery, and crime. Moved by Mr. CASH, seconded by Mr. Hoots, and resolved, That, as members of a commercial community, feeling our.. selves the evils of the present system, and knowing also that the infliction is most severe upon the working classes, with whose sufferings we cordially sympathise, and whose interests we feel. bound to represent, we hereby pledge ourselves to oppose by every legal means the imposition of the proposed sliding scale, and protest against the adoption of any other than a moderato fixed duty, subject to its gradual periodical extinction. Moved by Mr. STRODE, seconded by Mr. HODGES, and STAR HOTEL, SOUTHAMpTON. CHARLES STATES begs to inform his Commercial Friends and the Public that he has jointly, with •Alr. Shepherd, taken the above Hotel; and in soliciting the support of Commercial Gentlemen wishes to express to them his desire to afford them that accommodation which, he trusts, will not fail to ensure their patronge and future support. PRO BONO PUBLICO. TO THE EDITOR OF TILE SUN. Sin,—ln the month of July last, I joined a friend in a walk through Hyde Park, where I had 'not been for many yearS. As we proceeded, we noticed many new benches, substituted for those which had backs to them, and were loud in our exclamation against them. The rich in- their splendid equipages, indulging on soft cushions, well padded behind to lean agi:7-st, can have no idea how uncomfortable they. are ; but the poorer claSses, and the humble pedestrians, who cannot afford equipages, should alike be considered. Instead of being able to recline in comparative ease, in comfortable pos tures, they arc obliged to sit upright as they please, as if they were fixed there to be stared at, and get up al most as tired as when they sit down. The Park-keepers, by the way, who have little to do throughout the day, might at least keep them clean. We continued our walk into Kensington Gardens, and pA RTN ERSHI P.—A desirable opportunity presents i , self to a person who can command f r o m 3,0001. to 4.0001., e i ther as an ACTIVE or SLEEPING PARTNER in a WHOLESALE BUSINESS.

DISTRESS AT PAIbLEY..-- The COMAIITTEE in AID of the DISTRESSED OPERATIVES at PAISLEY, have to state that since they intimated to the public that the London Subscription would be closed on the Ist of March, they have received the following sums, which they have duly remitted; and further Contribu. tiens will be received until that date, and will then be pub lished, with a statement of the amount. Subscriptions after the Ist of March may to transmitted direct to the Relief Committee at Paisley. The Committee there mention " That they hope they have now got beyond any increase in the numbers, but that they are sorry to state their prospect is of a very gloomy description other wise. The funds are now within a two-weeks' supply of being exhausted." noticed even there very few of the aid fashioned loung• ing benches remaining. If these remarks should come under the observance of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, possibly they may take steps to abate the nuisance. We quitted the gardens at the entrance, •near to Victoria-gate. This gate I consider ought to be in a line with Westbournc-street, and a grand circle should be formed, for the approach of the numerous carr i ages, equestrians, a nd pedestrians ; but as it is now, ladies alighting from their carriages, are obliged to walk some distance to their great inconvenience, even before they reach the clumsy heavy door, which lies in a nook, although it is one of the principal entrances to Kensing ton-gardens, and forms a striking contrast to the one, at the further end, which is chaste in design, and in good taste. It ought to be remembered, that these gardens, which are well laid out, form the great attraction, and deservedly so, for a grand promenade every clay between the hours of five and seven, in the height of the season; and at other times are resorted to, for the recruiting of health, for pure air, and wholesome exercise ; nothing, therefore, ought to be wanting, to make these gardens still further in vogue if possible. The advantages offered from having Victoria-gate in a line with Westbourne-street, are these :—Firs,t, that the view would not be intercepted for .a long distance, almost as far as the beautiful range of buildings called Westbourne-terrace, which are now erecting ; next, for a leading thoroughfare, and a regular drive, which would be up Westbourne-street, up. Oxford terrace, and continue along the New-road, as far as Upper Baker street, leading to Clarence-gate, Regent's-park, and so bringing the Parks, as near as they can be, to each other. In a short time, many of the houses in the New-road, from Oxford -terrace to Upper Baker-street, - Would, in all probability, be re-built, and greatly improved in their appearance. - I am not surprised that Hyde-park-gardens, with the buildings leading to the squares and Westbourne street, should be so much sought after, being all first-rate houses, and most of them occupied by persons of conse quence. The latter, I should say, is very desirable property to be possesSed of ; and, as a proof, there are very few of the houses remaining unoccupied. The air is pure, and the soil dry ; and should this measure be carried into effect, or even a hand-gate formed, which is very desirable, it would be the nearest of any to Ken sington-gardens and the Park.

AN INQUIRY into the PRINCIPLES which ought to Regulate the Imposition of DUTIES on FOREIGN CORN ; in ANSWER to " STAT EM ENTS Illustrative of the Policy and probable Consequences of the peoposed Repeal of the existing CORN-LAWS." By J. R. M'CULLOCH, Esq., By GEORGE TAYLOR, Etq., Writer to the Signet. John Murray, Albemarle-street. Mr. Burns, Portman-street. Miss Carter.. R. V. THE CORN-LAWS AND THE CHARTISTS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT,) When will reason govern mankind ? Another Chartist opposition, and, according to the Chartists, another triumph ! Triumph over what ? Aye, in deed, over wh a t ? O ver justice, humanity, and en lightened freed om . Th e wretched and the desolate, the unemployed rnd the poverty-stricken, the pale, wan, and dejected thousands, ye shall remain so • there is no hope, no bri g ht an d c h eer i ng anticipations for the future; you aredoomed to mourn, and perish by the most exquisite and protracted torture—the Chartists will it Ye shall not be fed and employed, without it be ac companied with a vote If ye have not a vote, ye shall ,not have bread ! Wise resolve, patriotic deter mination ! Let reason examine, and sound, reflec tive impartiality decide. The Charter is a positive political question, supported and defended by one class of politicians alone. The repeal of the Corn-law is energetically demanded by, and imperatively required for, all grades of politicians. The repeal of the Corn-laws cannot impede the progress of the Charter, unless the people will he in a worse condition to prosecute their rights with a full belly instead of an empty one. As many of the League, especially the leaders, are strongly in favour of a broad extension of the suffrage, whilst the ac knowledged and accredited leader (Mr. F. O'Connor) of the Chartists, actually voted in favour of the con tinuation of the Bread-tax, writes in its support- now, and would again, if he had the opportunity, vote for tl co o a w le en, s t c h em c ri a th n f thatun m ? nho A ly s law. ]low, the h ; e P e r p P :a t l i e l a r t s e ' I ei 5 0 0 bless►s.

TO PRINCIPALS of the SCHOLASTIC PROFESSION and FRIENDS of DISTRESSED AUTHORS.—The great number of Copies of the SCHOOL BOOKS published by Sir RICHARD PHILLIPS, under the several names (as Authors) of ,Revs. D. BLAIR, J. GOLDSMITH, and S. BARROW, warrant the inference that during almost forty years the labours of Teachers have been much diminished, while an immense number of young minds have thence acquired valuable knowledge. Because of these facts, an earnest appeal is made in behalf of the Author whose name is attachei to only " Nature Displayed," now with a young motherless family, and destitute of common necessaries, as the Bankruptcy and Death of Sir R. Phillips have deprived him of premiums on the Copyrights equal to 1261. per annum. Any sum may be remitted for S. S., per post, to R. Daniel, Esq , Stoke-upon-Trent; S. Alcork, Lsq., Burslem ; or Mr. Mort, Newcastle-under-Lyme. the a ristocratic bread-taxing Buckingham as support the democratic (?) bread-taxer O'Connor ! A food-taxing Chartist is equally as obnoxi ous to a Corn-law Repealer as a bread-taxing Tory. They are the Siamese twins of monopoly, and only fit to legislate for such voluntary fasters as the noted Bernard Cavanagh. The suffrage will never be obtained by practising rude violence towards the middle classes. Every Chartist who sincerely wishes for a repeal ought to aid, or at least not thwart, the present gigantic strug gle for the mighty accomplishment of that desirable consummation. Let the .Chartists remember, that la man (11. Hunt), whose memory they revere, variably had written upon his bann e r, i n immense "No Corn-laws. ' Let them recollect that iat was the rallying motto upon the blo o d- s t a i ne d L'eterloo, for which their intrepid leaders were ncarcerated, their friends cruelly wounded, and their relatives brutally and savagely murdered? Let them reflect and never forget, that the Corn-law s have been obtained by their blood, and are now maintained by their famine rulers at the expense of a total anni hilation of commerce, and the consequent heart sickening poverty of England's hardy and industrious sons. Let unity prevail, and all those hearts that are now sad and despondinK will be happy and joyous; the tear of anguish will give place to the smile of con tentment, the bitter complaint of perishing thousands will cease, industry and employment revive, the starving widow will bless, the orphan rejoice, and millions of grateful human beings pour out their prayers and thanksgivings foi this God-like change.

Last night, at seven o'clock, a meeting of the Committee of the Westminster Reform Society was held at Stannard's Hotel, Charles-street, Covent-garden, Mr. Prout in the Chair, for the purpose of taking into consideration whit steps should be adopted by them in reference to the plan proposed by Sir Ro bert Peel, Bart., on the Corn-laws, when it was resolved that a General Meeting of the Society he called for Monday evening next, in order to consider the above question. The Courrier du Bas .Rhin says :—" The suspen sion of Professor Ferrari causes great astonishment at Strasbourg. The measure was not merely prescribed by the Academic authori. ties of the place, but was also enjoined by an order from Paris, which at the same time summoned M. Ferrari thither, to explain his conduct. We are inclined to believe that he will not find it diffi. cult to justify himself thoroughly ftom the charges against him, of having propagated subversive doctrines, and he will doubtlessly re. turn in a few days to resume his lectures. M. Ferrari, since his arrival in the capital, has published a letter In the Neck, in which he states that the object of his lectures has been completely misun derstood ; that he endeavoured to explain the political and social systems of Aristotle and Plato, and that, far from approving of ally ideas of the community of goods and absence of marriage, as advo. rated by the Communists, lie refuted these doctrines by arguments from Aristotle. A bandit, in Corsica, named Stefanini, has just beets shot. by the military in that island. Ile had long been the terror of the inhabitants, and his audacity had latterly arrived at such a pitch that he carried off the Mayor of Sari, and kept him prisoner for 40 days in the mountains ; nor did he release his captive till the ransom of 4,000 fr., which he had insisted on, was fully paid. The military, at length, tracked him to his retreat in the mountains, and laid in ambush for him several days. A most obstinate combat took place, %Shen be appeared, and he was shot dead just as he was reloading his carbine. Some oft he soldiers were wounded. The bark of the Linden-tree is a great article of cemmeree in Russia, where it is used to make mats, baskets of all kinds, bags, slippers, and other things, and also for thatch ing. The trade is carried on to a considerable extent, through out the North East. of European Russia, from the Ousha and the Wetugt to Kama, where the lindens grow in great abun dance, but do not thrive without the shelter of other trees. It is calculated that upwards of 14,000,000 mats are made an. nually in Russia, requiring 1,000,000 of trees to be stripped, and creating a traffic to the amount of, at least, 3,000,000 of silver roubles, or more than 12,000,000 f. A robbery took place at Algiers on the night of the 25th ult , at the house of N. Roguin, one of the paymasters of , the army. The thieves, after having effected an entrance by one of the windows, broke down a portion of a strong door leading to the citlee, and having passed through the opening, reached the nioney-ctiest, which they tnrced open, and carried off its contents, amounting to 13,000 r They then attempted to force their way into a cellar, in which was a sum of 130,000 f., but they relin quished the attempt, probably on account of the approach of morn. ing, which induced them to make their escape as rapidly as pos sible with the booty which they had obtained. No trace has been discovered of the thieves. The Lyons papers state that great quantities of snow have fallen this year on the Jura, on the country round Bourg, and on what is known as the Pays de Gex. The wolves have been forced by hunger to descend from the forests of the Jura, and have appeared in villages at considerable distances from their retreats. The road between Lyons and Geneva, by the Fort de PEcluse, has been tendered dangerous from the drifting of the snow. The Progres do Pas-de-Calais states, that during the woks for forming the floating-dock at Calais, fourteen vessels of different dimensions and ages, and lately three more, have been discovered sunk in the mud and soil. Of these last, one, measuring 160 tons, was lying under Fort Risbane, and the two others of smaller size, were completely loaded with rough stones. They are all Three believed to have been sunk by the English in 1347 to ob. struct the entrance into tl.e harbour, and thus prevent the town from receiving succour by sea. THE PEOPLE AND TIIE ARISTOCRACY are arraying against each other foot to foot. The latter, strong in their mono polies and having a House of Commons packed with their minions, seem determined to dispute every inch of ground; and even if they were inclined, the time for compromise is fast passing away. In fact, the proposition seems to have been especially devised for stimulating opposition. and hastening the ultimate downfal of the system. Now is the time for a bold and resolute remonstrance on the part of the public. It is appalling to think of the rouse qtiences which a blind and besotted maintenance of the landlords' tax may involve, at a time when multitudes are perishing for food. Reform in this matter is, in reality, Conservatism. A selfish and unfeeling oligarchy have endangered the vital interests of the na. lion, at a period when wrong is least likely to be patieitsly borne, and every fliend to peace is bound to stay, by every constitutional means, the progress of the unholy work.--Scotsman. A. Toulon letter, Bth inst., says that the men accused of peculation in the Marine Arsenal have been tried before a court.martial. One, only 113 years of age, is serrtenced to twelve months' imprisonment and a fine of 33 francs, for taking away be tween eight and ten pounds of copper, and another is to stand for an hour on the pillory before the clock.tower, and pay a fine of forty francs for receiving certain stolen articles. They are both declared to be incapable of ever again being employed in the Arsenal. THE SCHOOL FOR WIVES, BY TIIE AUTHO RESS OF " TEI.IPTATION."—An excellent novel--an admirable w i school," not only for " Wives," but for almost every other social relation of life—husbands, mothers. fathers, brothers, sons, daugh. ters, in short, all the specific relations, especially the female ones, growing out of the actual state of society—from triumphant b2atities to despairing old maids. Thus much as regards the tastes of those who seek in their reading for something better than mere empty amusement. But to those who read, not that they may " learn, mark, and inwardly digest," but merely that they may kill the time which would otherwise kill them, this novel will be equally acceptable; since it would be difficult to point at any other recent work of its kind,. where they may meet with a larger fund, and a greater variety of true, lively, and amusing pictures of the actual society of the day its which we live. — Naval and Maitary Gazette, Eetters, MEETING of MIDDLESEX MAGIS TRATES. There was a numert , us attendance of the Magistracy yester day at the Sessions'-house, Clerkenwell-green, for the despatch of County bnasness. Mr. Sergeant Adams in tl e Chair. After the usual routine business, Mr. I.Au It 1 I.: said that he thought the importance of the subject which be bad to bring proceeded ith c the a' m u E a u ' t t ) h • rb uinterruption b e b y e f vi o • r e e r e t h s e l Y l aware, and therefore it required no eulogium from Mtn, of the upright and very able manner in IA bleb the Duke of Portland had fulfilled the high and important post of the Lord-Lieute nant of the County for the last fifty years.—( Hear.) That very excellent Nobleman had done all that was in his power to support the dignity and independence of the Magistracy, and as one of the many who admired the virtues which the Noble Duke possessed, he (Mr. L.) begged to move that the thanks of this Court be given to his Grace the Duke of Port land.—( Hear.) He was. satisfied that the resignation of his Grice would be a source of regret to the whole of the Members of the Court.—( Hear, hear.) A number of the members supported the motion. A Committee, consisting of the Chairman, the two Members for the County, and the mover and seconder of the vote of thanks, were then appointed, and in a few minutes the following address to his Grace was framed by those gentlemen, and read to the Court; viz.-- " To His Grace the Duke of Portland. "My Lord Duke—We, the Alagistrates of the county of Mid dlesex, in General Session assembled, beg to express to your Grace our deep regret at the resignation of your Grace; of the dignified offices of Lord-Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum of this county, which your Grace has so Cled,for nearly half a century, as to acquire not only the respect, esteem, and confi dence of the Bench collectively, but also of those whose duty it has been individually to communicate with your Grace on the business of the county • and to express our ac k now l e dgements to your Grace fir the efficient and impariial manner in which you have discharged the responsible duties of those high offices." The Address was unanimously agreed to, and ordered to be signed by the Chairman on behalf of the Court, and transmitted to the Duke.

'1 he late insurrection in Cabool has deprived the East of one of its best soldiers, and the literary world of One of its chiefest ornaments. The particulars of Sir Alexander's melancholy fate are not at present clear ; tho only certain fact is that he was killed along with eight other officers, of whom his brother was one, on the 2d or 3d of November last. By placing in chronological order the events of his life, the natural activity of his mind, arid the steps of his promotion will be best seen : Mr. Burnes was born at Montrose, in Scotland, May 1(i, 1805, and greatly distinguished himself at the Academy of that place; and from hence obtained the appointment of Cadet for the Bombay army, and arrived at the Presidency on the 31st of October, 1821. Dec. 25, 1822 .—Appointcd Interpreter in the Hindostar.ee language to the Ist extra battalion at Surat, and was employed by the Judges of the Sudder Adawlut to translate the Persian documents of that Court. - 1825.—With his Regiment the 21st Native Infantry, he was ordered to Boo), and acted in the disturbances which tolic place at Cutch, and was appointed Quarter master of Brigade. At this time he was only 20 years of age. In the November of the same year, he was appointed Persian Interpreter to a force of 8,000 men, assembled for the invasion of Scinde. . 1827:—Mr. Burnes drew up a valuable pape r on th e statis tics of W agur , w hi ch highly pleased the Indian Government. A memoir of the eastern mouth of the Indus, also met with great notice. 182 9. —Appointed to act with the survey of the north western frontier of Cutch ; an account of which may be seen in the transactions of the Royal Geographical Society of London, 1834. 1830 . —Lieutenant Burnes was selected to accompany the present of horses from the King of England to the Maharajah Minket Singh, and during the journey, made a full survey of all the months of the Indus, and a map of the lu.ser portion of its course, and of the land route to Tatta, and at Loodianah ( first met the present King of Cahoot, then living as a guest within the British territories. In the December of this year he visited Kurnaul and Delhi, and was presented to the Great Mogul, the 15th descendant from Timour. Iss32.—At the commencement of this year, Lieutenant Burnes obtained the sanction of the Governor-General to pro ceed into Central Asia. His great and admirable work was the result of this journey, and the account which he himself furnishes of it is thus expressly given ; " I shall not pause to reflect on the feelings with which I again set foot in India after so long and weary ajourney. In the outset, I saw everything, both ancient and modern, to excite the interest and inflame the imagination—Bactria, Trans oxiana, Scythia, and Parthia, Kharasm, Khorasan, and Iran. We had now visited all these countries ; we had re traced the greater part of the route of the Macedonians; trodden the kingdoms of Porus and Taxiles ; sailed on the 1 Ilydaspes ; crossed the Indian Caucasus, and resided in the celebrated city of Balkh, from which Greek monarchs, far removed from the academies of Corinth and Athens, had once disseminated among mankind a knowledge of the arts and sc:ences, of, their own history, and the world. We had beheld the scenes of Alexander's wars of the rude and savage inroads of Genghis and Timour, as well as of the campaigns and revel ries of Baber, as given in the delightful and glowing language of his commentaries. In the journey to the coast we had marched on the very line of route by which Alexander had pur sued Darius ; while the voyage to India took us on the coast of Mekran and the track of his Admiral, Nearchus." 1833.—After his return to India Lieutenant Burnes, accord ing to instructions, proceeded to Calcutta, from which after having received the thanks of the Governor-General, he ar rives( in London in the October of this year, and his reception at the India House was most flattering. On the 30th of December he was introduced at Court, and received the special acknowledgments of tl.e King for the unpublished map and memoir he had presented to his Majesty. 'I ho success of this work for a book of travels was unrivalled. Mr. Murray gave the author 8001. for the copyright of the first edition, and nearly 900 copies were sold off in a single day, anti it was imme diately translated into French and German. 1834.—1 n the May of this year, Lieutenant Burnes received from the Royal Geographical Society the fourth Royal pre mium of 50 guineas, for his " N av i ga ti on o f t h e Ri ver Indus, ' and "A Journey t o Balkh and Bokhara across Central Asia." 1835.—At a meeting of the Royal Asiatic Society on Feb. 21, Earl of Munster, Vice-President, Lieutenant Burnes was elected an honorary member, for having "fixed with aces,. i r a a y eythe an ino u pos n ta i i t n i e s 7.0 anti dhaving Bokhara a donend t o a nt(ll..the constructiongreat r f im a o - f a map of those countries than had been done since Alexander the Great." On this occasion he was complimented by Sir Alexander Johnstone for having almost ascertained a con tinuous route and link of communication between Western Asia and the Caspian Sea, as also for his excellent diplomatic arrangements with the Ameers of Scinde. The museum of the Royal Asiatic Society also contains the Bokhara cloak worn by him in his travels in the Punjaub. April s.—After remaining eighteen months in England, Lieutenant Burnes at this date returned to India, where he arrived on the Ist of June. On his arrival at Bombay, Lieu tenant Burnes resumed the duties of assistant to the Resi dent at Cutch, Colonel Pottinger ; anti shortly after in ac • knowledgment of his diplomatic and other services, was Knighted, and advanced to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. 1839.—Sir Alexander Burnes, on the final restoration o the Shah Soojah, was appointed political Resident at Cabool, with a salary of 3,0001. a year. His brother, Lieutenant Burnes, obtained his appointment of a Cadet on the Bombay establish ment, chiefly as a compliment to Sir Alexander's greatservices. AUDITORS, Professor Wheatstone, F. R. S.

Peel's measure, do request every lliember of the House of Commons, who is a real advocate for a repeal of the Corn laws, to oppose every estimate, in consequence of there being no measure introduced to relieve the distresses of the people, who are no longer able to bear the burden of the t axes."—Carried unani mously.

Dr. Lusitixtvrox gave judgment in this case. The Har riet was originally arrested at the instance of the owners of the Woodpark, in a cause of collision. The case was defended and argued, and was decided. The Court thought the Harriet to blame, and awarded the owners to pay the damages of the collision ; as is usual in such cases, it was referred to the registrar and merchants to ascertain their amount. At this stage of the proceedings an agreement was entered into be tween the respective owners, and the damages, were, by con sent, valued at 3601. Previous to the payment of the money, however, the owner of the Harriet, who was liable for it, be comes insolvent. To whom, then, do the owners of the Woodpark have recourse?—the parties who. had become security for him in the original suit. But they deny their liability, and what is the ground of their de fence ? 1 hey allege that their liability is removed by the priva'e agreement between the respective owners. To that agreement they were not parties. They were not informed of it, they gave no consent to it, and consequently they were not bound by it. Thus it was argued on behalf of the bailors, and the argument Dr. Lushington thought a sound one. He held that from their liability they had been freed by the private arrangement of the bailee and the other owners, and decided that against them the owners of the Woodpark could not re cover the damages which they had sustained. THE DAVID. This vessel, of .the value of 6501. , laden with ballast, on a voyage from I psw i c h to Newcastle, gets into a situation of some distress off Bridlington on the Yorkshire coast, is boarded by som e fishermen, and ' relieved. For this service the salvors are offered 20/. by the owners, and receive 40/. from the Court. This was another case THE of saIvage. ZEPHYRUS. The Zephyrus was in distress off Yarmouth on the 18th of November. Some Yar mouth boatmen went out to render general assistance to the vessel ; but with the especial hope and object of saving the lives of the crew. They succeeded in doing this, but they neither saved the vessel nor her cargo; and the question was whether the mere preservation of life eon, per se, constitute a claim for salvage, and the Court can reward the men? Dr. HAGOAED (for the alleged salvors) —According to the old law, there might he a el, übt whether the Court of Admi ralty had the power of rewarding salvors, where life alone had been pretet ved, but according to the more recent statute 1 and 2 Geo. IV., cap. 75, it certainly had. One of its sections gave especial jurisdiction to the Commissioners of the Cinque Ports, and to Justices of the Peace in seaport towns to reward the sal vors of human life, and if the Magistrates had authority to do so, surely the High Coutt of Admiralty, to whom there was an appeal, must have jurisdiction also. Besides, there was an ex press decfsion in favour of the doctrine in the case of the Queen Mab, decided by Sergeant Nicholl. Dr. LUSHINGTON—But has not' the opposite doctrine been distinctly laid down by Lord Stolid!? Dr. Ham% an--The question, I believe, never came di rectly before him in the form of plea or act upon the petition. The decision of Sergeant Nicholl was delivered shortly after the passing of the statute, and may be held conclusive. Dr. Anna sts, for the owners—l am surprised that this opinion should be now brought forward. It is distinctly op posed to all the authorities. The last edition of Mr. Abbott on shipping, contains a most positive opinion, founded on the dictum of Lord Stowell, that the reward for the preservation of life must be left to private bounty. If it were not so—if the pre servation of life formed a proper claim for salvage, how would the matter stand? Why the vessel, the property of the owners, would be arrested, and they would have to pay for benefits conferred on other persons. The very principles on which salvage is founded necessarily confines it to the preserva tion of property. The Statute quoted does not mention the Court of Admiralty in the section referred to, and, in another it expressly says, that anything in that Act con tained shall not alter its jurisdiction. The Queen Mab was not a case in point. It was a case of derelict —it was unopposed, and the owners might have been unwilling to give a certain sum to the men who had saved the life of a fellow-creature. Dr. LusttiNnrox—l n the first place, what is the general law applicable to the present point? An unsuccessful at tempt to save property, however en erget i c t h e conduct or laudable the motives of those making It, is no title to sal vage. So here is the simple case of the preservation of human life, and since I have been in practice I have always understood, as one of the first principles of administering law, ' l. at upon that no claim for remuneration could be here ' But how is the general law affected by the statute s l ec ca ti n on se q e u ; ot b e u d t , ihsoans of f ee t n he stated igh authority in certain matters to the Comm i ssioners of the George IV., c. 75 ? It Court of Admiralty should not be affected f by its enactments. So still the principle remains tb Cinqueby ll r .

He e presentation prefaced the f ; 101?1,in aft,,r obserri ; I ci t Bill l by an ea pose des it wasnecesslarye i to make up for lost time on this articles unrl''retlits S S U i t t l veloped the. ilitrr---et f tale Bill. The length of railway 13A,:ch it was proposed to take in hand at the present moment was , h e said, 596 kilotatrcs, or, one-fourth of the whole extent comp re h ended in the plans of the Government, and, in tw o years time, the re mainder would be commenced. 'llie c a l culation of the cost to the State of its share of the expenditure was, he added,:lso,ooo francs per kilometre ; that of the c orn _ panics 125,000 f., or 500,00 f. per league. The total ex pense per league is estimated_ by the Minister at 1,200,00011 In alluding to the mode of meeti ng t h e expenditure,,M. Teste said the deficits of 1840; 1841, and 1842, would not exceed 300 millions, to which were to be added 500 millions fir the extraordinary expendi ture of public works, already ordered by the Chamber, and 400 millions for the railways, which it was intended to execute within the next 10 years. These would give a total of 1,200 millions. To meet this expenditure for -the next 10 years, supposing that the same delay be allowed for the completion of all the other public works as for the whole of the railways, M. Teste calculates upon extraordinary resources from the reserve of the sinking fund, amounting for the 10 years to 829 millions and on the remainder of the loan to be contracted for— viz., 300 millions, making a total of 1,279 millions. The Minister then read the following Rill:— CHAPTER T,—Art. I.—There shall he established a system 'of railroads leaving Paris, and leading to,-the rrontier of Belgium, by Lille and Valenciennes—to Eng land, by a point of the coast of the channel which shall be determined hereafter to the frontier of Germany, by Strasburg—to the Mediterranean, by Lyons, Marseilles. and Cette— to the Ocean, by Bordeaux and Nantes.

Art. s.—The rails, including the sand, the materiel, the expenses of working the line, and the expense of keeping up and repairing the roads, its dependencies and its materiel shall be at the charge of the companies, to which the working of the railway shall be let on lease, This lease shall be granted upon a eahier des charges (clauses and conditions), which shall fix the duration of the period and the tariff of fares. The raiders des charges must be approved of by Royal ordonnance. Art. 6.—At the expiration of the lease, the value of the rails and of the .materiel (carriages, -locomotives, &c.) shall be reimbursed, according to appraisement, to the company by that which shall succeed it.

Supposing the whole of the in tended lines to reach GOO leagues, this would be an ex- pence to the Treasury of from )360 to 400 millions of francs. This would be adding 400 millions to the 360 deficit, and the 500 millions for extraordinary public works, making in all 1,2►00 millions to meet. The :Minister observed that this might be - done. The part of the State being estimated at 24,0001. the league, the funds to be furnished by productive industry would be about 20,000/. a kagne. ON THE LA ,...r il iedii . it S iftin O gv F . MARRIAGE. (From the Congregational Magazine.) As aneflbrt is to be made at the ensuing Session of Parliament for an alteration in- the law on this subject, it becomes important that the people should understand the matter. From an article signed "Rusticus" that ap peared in your Magazine cf this month, it seems that your correspondent supposes that the Marriage Act of 1835 prohibits the widower from marrying the sister of his deceased wife. Now all that the Act of 1835 says to justify - such a conclusion is, " that all marriages which shall hereafter be celebrated between persons within the prohibited do "reel of affinity shall be absolutely null and void," but what these " prohibited degrees" are, the Act says nothing, and we are. therefore left to construe the• legal interpretation of these words from the state of the law vs it was pi ior to this Act. Persons seem ge n to have supposed that the law on this subject is laid down the tables published in the Church of Eng. laud Prayer-books, and some Bibles, beginning with "A man shall not marry his grandmother," &e. But this is only what is called the canon law, and this table of pro hibited degrees forms part of the canons of 1603. Now Lord llar•dwicke, in delivering the judgment of the whole Court of King's Bench, in 1736, respecting these canons, decided, that not having been confirmed by Parliament, they do not bind the laity. The principle on which he founds his decision is this:—These canons are passed in an assembly of the clergy and officers of the Established Church, sanctioned by the King as the head of the Church, but it is not reasonable or lawful that the people should be bound by an authority which does not repre sent them, so that the only legal interpretation we can obtain as to what are the "prohibited degrees" is to be derived from the previous Acts of Parliament on the sub ject. It is greatly to be regretted that tl.ese Acts are in such a confused state, that it becomeS very difficult to say what the law is on the subject. About 1334 Henry VIII. got a Marriage Act passed, containing shniliar prohibitions to those in the canon law ; but this was with a view to justify his divorce from his brother's widow, and his marriage with Anne Boleyn. Afterwards, how ever, his daughter Mary, whose legitimacy was thereby affected, got all these prohibitions repealed ; the Act declaring that. Henry's marriage with Catherine (her mother) was a lawful marriage in accordance with God's law and his Holy Word. Indeed, Henry himself; Who seems to have got his obsequious Parliament to enact and repeal whatever suited his fancv, or was agreeable to his wife at the time being, about 1343, got the Act 32, Henry VIII., c. 38, passed, which &Mares all inarringes b e t d , ee l) ti l ( t ) s w a - b t e n at l iti n he ( er , at i i l ir ) s i l t no e( gn i : by God's law, and that notwithstanding any law to the con e trary, no prohibition (God's law except) shall impeach any marriage without the Levitical degrees. This is now in force, the part - respecting prohibitions having been confirnu•d both iii 'the reigns of his son Edward, and .Iq , daughter Elizabeth ; so that the legal constructi i o n " prohibited degrees" appears to be those prohibited Leviticus, and in order to help us to decide what , t l a i ‘ e it s i t i atae b t r tf ot A lic a r t: s y i i ‘ ii i f i ) , l l - , i s us w i ti t s s a t ii,,,a,tvfluficony?e:s. mar riageficiotreia•s true that lawyers seem generally to i l i tt s es b t l i t r l‘ a i s fi to , courts of law, it would the legality ; tle sister legalityin England a ll hut it is quite uncertain, n ome that d ,widower's,rret_olsei it-berhiaaft,,t7rleerwti htourhe for the poor—not for not prevail, and become , n d; i to the law it is lays that there is '" to travel to another coun t , 7 , ed etfir ; ( s a io s r rp ti (l e i t e r a dni ca o l e a l ii l d : ) ? and world, professedly Chris a high legal autho rity vould be bound t recognizP • the English Courts 0 recognize the mar..,•• and it is ayemaikable circumstance, ther riag,e.; hardleybnennhrerieet: h ijin e n eh: a tian, w h e re there is any difficulty at all about a widower marrying his late wife's sister.
