MP I SA.LOMONS, Mayor.—A. COMMON COUNCIL, holden in the Chamber of the Guildhall of the City of London, on Thursday, the 11th day April, 1856, Resolved,—That the measure brought into Parliament by ' Sir George Grey, though called a Bill for the " Better Regu lation of the Corporation of the City of London," is, in fact, a Bill of pains and penalties. It takes from the citizens, without an equivalent, various important privileges, and'pro .perties purchased for valuable consideration, and secured to them by prescription, by charter, and by ancient and modern • Acts of Parliament, thus treating the Corporation as if they had been found guilty of acts warranting a forfeiture—whereas Sir Geo. Grey, in his introductory speech, bore testimony to • . their honour and usefulness, and quoted the proceedings of • .two Crown Commissions, appointed in 1834 and 1853, to in vestigate the conduct of the Corporation, who not only acquitted .both members and officers of all charges - of corrup tion in the administration of their affairs, but also bestowed high commendations upon them for the frankness and can dour they manifested in their examination before both Com ' missions. Although the preamble of this Bill is so worded as to nun '. elate no principle upon which issue can be raised at the second reading, yet there are various clauses which afford - abundant evidence that the foregoing objects do in fact con stitute the main principle of the Bill, and render it neces sary for this Court to oppose it on the second reading. In 1831 the Corporation were induced by Lord Chancellor Brougham and his colleagues to promote the passing of the Central Criminal Court t, by which the Corporation took upon themselves the charges of an increased number of ses sions, an increased number of courts and an increased prison accommodation; for extending the criminal jurisdiction of the • City Judges to the populous districts of Essex, Surrey, and Kent, in addition to the county of Midlesex, which had be . - come devolved upon them by an arrangement in ancient times. It was an especial provision in .the Central Criminal Court . Act that the chief magistrate of the principal city in the em pire should be, as he always had been, at the head, and that hisbrethren the aldermen should be members of the commis sion ; yet the filth section of the proposed Bill repea's that portion of the Act ; it summarily deposes both the Lord Mayor , and the aldermen from the position assigned to them by the compact with the Government, which Government is now re , presented.by Sir George Grey, yet the Bill leay.s the Corpora tion to bear the charge of the extended jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the Commissioners of 1853 reported that "the City of London has for many centuries elected its own magistrates, and, of late years at least, the privilege appears to have been well exercised," and they recommended that the magisterial functions should be continued to the alder men, yet the Bill deprives the citizens of their ancient right, . and vests it iu Crown-appointed stipendiaries, whose courts are, however, to be attended by the City police, to be paid - by the inhabitants. The Bill proposes to change entirely the composition and construction of the Court of Common Council, although the Commissioners' Report, speaking of that Court, says—" W e believe that the history of no other corporation furnishes such honourable testimonials of the vigilance, good sense, and jus tice of its legislative body." - Notwithstanding the obvious fact that the increased and increasing education of all classes of the community will bet ter qualify them to exercise the duties and privileges of local self-government, whether as constituents or representatives, yet this Bill proposes to take the election of tile Lord Mayor and Sheriffs from a body composed of several thousands, and to vest it iu the Common Council, to consist of 96 persons. The Bill will take from the Corporation the honourable office of Conservator of the Thames, to vest it iu eminent public functionaries, whose other important avocations will prevent them from personally attending to its duties, while it ignores a Bill laid before Parliament by the Corporation to consoli date their prescriptive rights, and give increased efficiency to the discharge of their conservatorial duties. _ The Bill interferes with the chartered rights of the Corpo ration to Metropolitan Markets, although the Commissioners report, " that the superintendence of the wholesale provision markets exercised by the Corporation seems to be vigilant, and to be attended with very beneficial results ;" and although the Corporation have waived their exclusive right under their charter in favour of the formation of other mar ' kets where public convenience might require them. The Corporation possess a large revenue, arising from a metage of 4d. per ton upon coals, under an immemorial title, which was established by the judgment of the Court of Ex chequer in a suit with the Crown in the reign of James I , and - has been confirmed to the Corporation by subsequent charters and acts of Parliament. These metage dues, which constitute a large portion of the Corporation revenues, the Bill will take from them, although, in the belief that no attempt would be repeated in our days to confiscate these dues, the Corporation have constructed noble streets, at a cost of many hundreds of thousands of pounds, and have laid out nearly half a million in erecting the Metropolitan Cattle Market, by means of money borrowed on the faith of these revenues, and they have like wise raised nearly 100,0001. to erect the new prison at Hol loway, which the Government inspector represented to the commissioners as " the best-arranged and best-managed prison within his knowledge." This Court are of opinion that the honours, privileges, and properties of corporations ought to be as inviolable and secure under the protection of the law as the rights of peasant or peer, or even of the Crown itself. And if it be once admitted, as a principle of legislation, that without proved misconduct and proved necessity, the purchased privileges and properties of corporations, upon the plea of " expediency," which the preamble of this Bill sets up, can be wrested from them with out compromise aid consent, the pillars upon which the rights of property stand will be shaken to the foundation, and it will wait only until the word expediency may receive a more lati tudinarian interpretation, to serve as a precedent for bring ing all other species of property within the range of a similar principle of legislation. This Court feel themselves entitled to appeal to the evidence and reports of the commissioners, and to Sir George Grey's speech, to prove that they have, during the present century, effected large measures of reform and improvement in the con stitution and administration of their affairs ; and that the Common Council have, from time to time, applied to Parlia ment for extended powers to improve the management of their sewers and their police, of their conservancy and navigation jarisdiction, and the pert and harbour services, and also to effect other objects, which it 'was beyond their corporate powers, without the aid of Parliament, to accomplish. The Corporation, by the surrender of the street tolls, by the relaxation or abolition of many charges upon trade, have: likewise manifested their anxiety to promote sound and necessary changes in harmony with the spirit of the times and this Court are of opinion that if they had been privileged with a knowledge of the contemplated measure whilo in pro gress of preparation, many of the objections, both in prin. ciple and detail, which they are now impelled to urge against the entire bill, might by negotiation have been removed.

HEAD OFFICE—NO. 5, St. Andrew-square, Edinburgh. The Assured or Members are the only rarties intereste 1 in the Funds of this Institution, which now amounts to upwards of THREN MILLIONS STERLING. The Society's claims to public confidence and support era grounded mainly on the sound and equitable principles of its constitution. and on the care and success with which its operations have been con ducted from their commencement up to the present time. While the Premiums are not higher than those require I by many other Offices, the Society does not pretend to compete with those which hold out the attractions of chess rates, whether as being the lowest which are compatible with safety, or as being based on what is termed the " HALF-CREDIT SYSTEM." There being no Proprietary, however, those of the Assured who by the terms of their policies are entitled to participate in the ProflTs of the Society, are the only parties who derive benefit tram the rates being more than what are found from time to time to be required to meet the alual risks ; and the result of past all , cat!ons of surplus Profits has been such that in the else of all the earlier Policies, which have become claims within the last few years, the amounts paid to the representatives of deceased Members have been Nola THAN DOUBLE THE SUMS ORIGINALLY ASSURED. In cases where family provision is the sole object this result cannot fail to be consid.re.l as of the most sati , factory nature ; while in other instances where the part es are desirous of securing benefit from the Surplus Payments DURING THEIR OWN LIVES, instead of allowing the Bonus to remain an addition to the Assurance payable at death, the alternatives practicable under the laws of the office have been c ms mensarate in degree. In many cases, in consideration of an aban donment of the reversionary claims for Bonus Additions ahead, de clared, such parties have dther reeeived.larr- payments in PRESENT CASH, OF have been LONG AGO ENTIRELY RELIEVED FROM FURTHER PAYMENT OF PREMIUM, the Policies still remainirg ent tied to partici pate in future allocations of the profits. Illustrations of the anplication of Bonus en either of the footings above referred to are contained in the Society's Prospects es, which, to/alter with Forms of Proposal, &c , may be had on application at the Head Office, or to any of the A vents in thethree kingdoms.

THE RAILWAY FORGERIES. Knightly, tale clerk in the Great Southern and Western Railway, was fully committed yesterday to take his trial on a charge of having forged trans fers of the company's shares to the amount, as far as can be ascertained, of about 2,0001. The magi's. trates refused to take bail for his appearance at the next commission. THE MURDER OF MRS. KELLY. The Evening Post supplies the following parti culars of the enormous property of the late Mrs. Kelly : " The estate of Ballinderry, where the murder took pace, contains nearly 1,500 acres. Mrs. Kelly had been engaged in draining and. improying it. There is little exaggeration as to the extent of the property obtained by the deceased under the will of her, husband, Mr. Ed. mond Kelly , of Rook wood which had been the subject of such protracted litigation in the cause of 'Kelly v. TbeAlev,' in the Prerogative Court and ;the Court of Delegates.' Besides landed estates to the - value of be tween 7.0001. and 8,0001. a-year, Mrs. Kelly obtained nearly 250,0001. in funded property. In ame in which she had been prosecutrix a few years since, she was stated to have paid 30,0001. for investment in share pro- perty, which sum eventually she lost. But her chattel property must still have been upwards et 248„ea01. S;he had lent 134,0001. to the Midland Great Western . Rad way Company, for which she held a mortgage on4he Royal C4nal, the property of that company, for which she bas been receiving nearly 7,0001. per annum. Mrs. Kelly, about a year since made a will, which was depo sited for safe keeping at the bank of Messrs. Boyle, Low, and Co. where it now remains." The Freeman correspondent, writes from Moate, last night, as follows : "Mrs. Kelly's property of Ballinderry is situated about one mile from the town of Moate, in the county of Westmeath. She held 200 acres in her possession, and the management of it was intrusted to her nephew, Mr. George Strevens, Mrs. Kelly had been residing in Englaud since last November. and only returned to Ballinderry about a fortnight ago, accompanied by her solicitor, Mr. Campion. It is stated that three or four tenants had recently been served with cjeetments on the part of the unfortunate lady, brit they were not pro ceeeded with. Mr. Campion had brought down fire or F.ix stamped agreements, which the tenants were to sign for an increase I rent. This wis to have been done in the course of a few days ; but it is said the tenants were satisfied with the arrangement. However this may be, the police have taken two of them into custody, and also a labouring man named Owen Waters, who was in the employment of the deceased, and who had been absent from work during a part of the day on which the incr.- der took place. "The inquest was opened on Wednesday. One witness only was examined—a girl, who was working in the field where the r.seassination oceutred, and was actually in conversation wi h Mrs. Kelly when the murderers approached her. The witness said there were about 12 ids and two men in the fi I I picking stones. Mrs. Kelly came into the field about 4 o'clock, p is., with Mr. Campion and Mr. George Strevens, her - nephew. Mr. C ttupion left the field by directions of Mrs. Kelly to settle some accounts, as le was to go Dublin next day. Mr. Strevens went to where the men were picking stones, and Mrs. Kelly came over to witness to ask if her mother bad Made up the clothes she bad given her, as she (witness) was to be sent ton, situation in Dublin, procured for her by Mei. Kelly ? Just as they were talking, about five yards from the ditch, two men cam• into the field' through the gate, 150 yards from where they stood. They had women's clothes on and black cloths over their faces with openings, through which she (Nitness) cou'd see one eye. When Mrs. Kelly saw them she appeared to be much alarmed and caught hold of the witness, who said 'Don't be afraid, Mrs. Kelly.; they are only coming to frighten the children' (meaning the girls, echo were picking stones). Mrs. Kelly then ran over towards the ditch, and fell ; the murderers I , llowed, and, while she was lying on the ground, one man stooped, and fired at Mrs. Kelly's head, what witness thought was a pistol, and then stepped aside, upon which his companion did the same. Mr. G. Strevens, who was about 10 yards off, began to shout. The two assassins then went over towards him. Ile ran away, and did not stop till he arrived at the house, where he informed Mr. Campion that Mrs. Kel'y had been shot deal. The two assassins went back through the gate by which they Came in, and no one saw them afterwards. "The inquest was then adjourned until next Tuesday, in order that Dr. Motile** might make a post inoiVeoe; examination. The jury then - proceeded to where the murder took place, which is fully half a mile from the house, on the top of a hill, from which there is a view for a mile all round: One of the gentlemen sent for a spade and a i,y, T d i a u Ly g e, b u ano n d d dy e t r oh n fe e rm a e t h rfso whe the b .uKndeerialybuwl eightet r r a e i m n s of the oviendchtesourodnfeuoebrpltiiunnn the as ground. the first up-train this (Thursday) morning, in charge of Mr. Campion, but her nephew (Mr. Strevens) remains here in lodgings, in charge of two policemen.

(Proles: t4e :;27,4-te4 of this day.). • s Education, ,a,fter laskyipg.been Jon •teotehed and bun 'gfed after the-fashion Of m ost new sebjecte, having fallen .into the e hantls of tiitterintolkeince tit one time and rash' empuecisimeat another, is in a fair . weyeat 14ist Of-being better'understood, because men haVe undertaken to die cuee it wire can 'beat r under Stand an',l ; who are also better able to explain it. It se,nie.to haeo.heen assumed hitherto that the method of edyeatingek nation must of neceseitY - be uniforM, that what is true` of Austria and Prussia. must be true of :Eeetsrd, antHhat Lemma the State, Whicli is ever) thing-and does every-thing in those countries, takes under its absolute coiitrel - the education of the people, just as it does everything k Ise, therefore the State in England. should also take -upon it‘elf the entire management of schools, the entire direction of .what is to be taught there, sho:uld compel the people to contribute for their support, and f nen the whole educa tional body into one compact and well-organised hier archy, full of system, discipline, and subordination. Such is. the plan of Lord Jcelan ! Rtissell. and such is the result of his five-and-thirty years' experience of the peo ple-and F"ariiament of this omintry. - The first, and perhap? the, most :Conclusive objection to this scheme, though the one least susceptible of ac curateand logical ettitemene, is that it is utterly ab horrent to the genius of the nation. It is our pride, and probably a jlist pride, that we are not governed, but tied we govern onrselvei—that the business of our central authority consists much more in. aiding than in super- Ledirig local effort,, and that it is the duty of our Govern inient rasher to co-operate with than to control es. What weelo-for ourselves we generally do well ; what is done for us by. our Government is as universally ill done. These considerations point clearly to a conclusion of. practical statesmanship.—that the man who would com pass any great end in this country must make the people his coadjutors rather than his instruments, anti enable them to work out his plans for thereselvee instead of working out those plans for them. Lord John Russell, though so many years a ruler in Israel, knows not these things, and therefore Lsrd John Russell Las propounded a scheme which has repelled all parties—Liberal, Tory, and Conservative. -We are invited to change the preient system of edu cation, and have a right to ask frOm our would-be guide ' that he should show us something better. The theorist may look down upon an educational /system such as OM has grown into, but the man who kn ows his country `men is aware that it is doing all that Any Governinent system can effect, that we have already reached the full amount of interference that public opinion will bear, and that "to go beyond this critical point is only to provoke a recoil which may delay indefinitely further progress in the path of national instruction. Such legislators as Lord John Russell in their attempts to manage mankind are apt to, overlook altogether the effccta . of the principle of association. In their anxiety to work out a particular formula they irverlook feelings which they oleht to re spect an i prejudices whieh they are bound to conciliate. To them it is no-matter whether the education of the peOple be accompanied .with those notions of re •traint and compulsion, of State interference and dictation, so odious to an English 'man, even when necessary, or whe ther he shall be led imperceptibly to regard it ELI the work of his own hands, as the off , pring of his own mind, as his pride,- his amusement, his occunatien. At first people grumbled inueli at that State inspection, which a moment's Consider itiop must have shown them to be - absolutely neceesary to secure the proper application of st e w funds. They grumble still, hut nevertheless the work alliances. No one no.w_ disputes the necessity of education ; eery few seek to clog it with unreasonable trammels. To promote- it is recogni ed by most peo• ple as a duty, by the rest as a fashirn ; fur, short as our teaching comes of our wishes, it is nevertheless greater; we believe, than could be secured by any other means than those now employed ; and it is by its pro bable state under a change of system, rather than by any ideal standard, that our progress ought to be measured. If we adopt a compulsory rate, we may be perfectly sure that its first effect will be to destroy ail schools sup ported by private funds, though we are by no means so sure that it would provide anything to rep'ace them. We caa imagine no machinery so calculated to disgust our people with education as that which first empowers ratepayers to tax themselves, and, upon their refusal t.. do so, authorises a body with which they have little sympathy and no connexion—the Court of Quarter Sessions---to impose a tax instead, unless, indeed, it be the plannf Sir John Pekington, which upon the refusal of the ratepayers to tax themselves, requires them to appoint a school committee to tax them, as if they would be willing to do that by an agent which they refuse to do as principals ; as if they would not take care to elect a body whose views on taxation exactly coincided with their own • as if powers of rating and election were not mere insults when they are only meant as a means of depriving the ratepayers and electors of that control over their own concerns which those names Imply. We have left out one consideretion--W-e religious part of the question—though this presents difEcultieß of no Ordinary magnitude. Whether the people of England can ever bo brought to consent to a general education rate we do not know, but certain it is that they will Dever be brought to such consent till they are prepared to embrace a general system of secular education,—a conclusion from which they at this moment appear very far removed. It is to us perfectly inconceivable—we will not say how Lord John Russell, but how any man who witnesses the bitter oonflict about every farthing that is paid out of the resources of the State for reli gious purposes, can suppose that he is forwarding the interests of education by involving it in the same class of difficulties which beset the question of Church rates, of Ministers' Money, or of the Regium, Dexura. We are so heavily rated already that the addition of any new rata must be of itself unpopular. How much more un popular will it lee when it implies the violation of the vo luntary principle, and appropriates money taken under an act of Parliament to rudimentary instruction in re ligion ! Strange, when we can now do al mos t a ll we desire without ffence, we should find statesmen rash enough to attempt it in the most offensive manner, and for the sake of a slight and problematical improvement to risk the whole of the vintage ground we have gained. The result of last night's division will be a salutary lesson to those who imagine that the people of this coun try are prepared to surrender their right of self-govern ment in educational matters into the hauls of a set of schoolmasters and doctrinaires.

The condition of Journalism and the Legislature In France enhances the interest of the two great orations recently delivered in the " Academie." The nature and the genius of the place, the character and previous ca reer of those who are admitted to a seat within its walls, attach to the speeches of the members and their sponSors an importance which is augmented by the silence of the Tribune and the docility of the press.

And no occasion could be rendered so suggestive either of contemporaneous allusion or r e t ros p ec ti ve ana l og y a t th e election of a senator of Louis Philippe to replace, in the reign of Louis Napoleon, the distitiguished author of tte " History of the Fronde." It . was natural that th e D ue d e B rog li e s h ou ld id en tif y his views with those of his predecessor, and should re cognise in that tangled medley of purposeless conflict and resultless faction of which he was the historian all the laws of the historic epic—a beginning, a middle, and an end. It is consonant with the temper and the character of the literary statesm an . M o d era t e i n hi s v i ews , doc trinaire in his politics, and not less patriotic than phi lanthropic in his affections, the Due de Broglie would be equally reluctant to impute to any generation of his countrymen an unaccountable passion for au unmeaning strife, or to condemn as wholly reckless a struggle which at first probably was, and which lie must ever regard to have been, an honest fight for rational liberty. And, doubtless, this patriotic critici-m must have received un conscious but frequent confirmation from the parallel of motives and passions which "tke Fronde" presents to some other passages in French history. Indeed, to a philosophic mind it would be difficult to probe the annals of the former movement, to anatomise the conduct of Cond4, Mazarin, and De Retz, to trace the progress of their varied success, without falling almost involuntarily into an examination of the causes, the motives, and the conduct of that more notable revolution wherein figured Roland, Mirabeau, Robespierre, St. Just, and one greater than all these; and the judgment which had once been pronounced upon the moral phenomena of the former might in spirit, if not literally, be trasferred into no ilutisvics.:lsiefem.7lo‘narce le a review of the second,—a prospect which would certainly deter so hopeful and patriotic a critic as M. de Broglie from pronouncing unfavourably on the first great organ ised popular uprising in the annals of modern France. The truth is—and it is a truth which must have been present to the candid minds not only of M. Nisard and the Dna de Broglie, but also of many among their audience—the national characteristics which stirred the tempest of the Fronde roused also the greater tempest of the revolutions of 1789 and 1848, and the came charaeteristice intervened at either period to divert the directioa of the political bur, icane in a cycle which their authors failed to foresee. There may have been great intermediate changes be tween the two periods. The =sees may have become more numerous, more combined, more educated, but the moral impulse and moral peculiarities of the one move• ment were the same as those of the others.

[PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD• cu futiles, qui . . offraient tout ensemble le spectacle Is plus triste et le plus visible ,qu'on eut jamais vu"—he is bketching by anticipation the lighter and less revolt ing phases of that era which was destined to reproduce in exaggerated form the worst ferocity of the Frondist rabble, the most contemptible faithlessness of the Frondist courtiers, and the most shameless apoa lacy of the Frondist priests. But he will not suf fr himself to see the resemblance between the essential elements of the two times, or to draw the unflattering inference which such a resemblance dictates. He will not see the same type of national . character in the populace which sided with the privileged leagi,tracy of France to extort further concessions from Anne of Austria, and the mob which forced the States- General to extort the abolition of all privileges from L uis XVI. Nor will be see the same popular charac teristics, under different circumstances and different powers of confederation, in the nation which, after sub. jetting the Revolution to the Mountain, merged it in a submission to a dictatorship, and the nation which, after cla.nouring against eorrees, feudal imposts, and unequal la w t, coalesced with a greedy judicature and a profligate noblesse to sacrifice the advantages w hi c h l i b er t y had gained to the firmness of the Queen and the astuteness of Mazai in. How much of that antithetical mixture of tragedy and farce—of extreme horrors and extreme levity—which so strangely colours either of these revo lutions, may be traced in the earliest and moat familiar description of Gallic character the Duc de Broglie natu i ally forbears to intimate. But a life so chequered as his has been cannot fail to suggest to so practised a 'statesman contemplations which find, perhaps, rather cons, lation than expression in the beautiful words which he delights to quote : " Ne dtisesperonsjamais des prinelpos. et dps vertns qui ferment le noble patrimoine de respece humaine ; lois memo quo nous les verrions mis en oubli . . attendons le lent ouvrage du temps. Les verites eternelles survivront aux attaques de 'curs ennemis, et renaitraient du cceur nneme de rhomme, s'il no restait aucun monument sur,la terre pour attester leur antique existence et le'culte qu'on leur rendu." M. Nisard takes a less hopeless view of humanity, but perhaps a not less just view of the nature and neces sities of Frenchmen. Not less patriotic than the ancient peer of France, Le desires glory for his country, glory in war and in the triumphs of peace. But he wishes to see this attained under the directing control of a strong sovereign arm, one which can combat the intrigues of the rebellious, and overcome the combina tions of the turbulent. In his view, France is a grand army marching on to warlike or pacific conquest, hitt requiring the ever-watchful eye of a vigilant and active commander, ready to stimulate the courage of his sol diers by his own energy, but not less ready to repress their disaffection by the severest discipline, or punish it with the severest castigation. The past teaches him as little fait's in the organised constitution of Parliaments as in the tumultuous aspirations of bis countrymen after any political right or any political cuiryinent. Each and all have failed of their ostensible objects ; but they have not failed in one thing. They have ended in obtaining for France the chieftainship of a dominant will, at once impersonating her energies and sympathising wth her want.. France found this in Mazarin and Louis XIV. after the iracasseries of the Frond/ She found it in Napoleon I, after the massacres of the Terrorists. We leave it to M. Nisard to supply the name which has ad. minietered to her latest thirst fer repose after her expos• rience of the inteetes under Louis Philippe and the car nage under the Provisional Government. Nor will M.; Nisard's oblique insinuation fail to strike the most heed leis minds either in France or abroad. It is by pure acci lent that the man who in the 17th century crushed the conspiracies of the Ftondeurs and restored tran qeillity to France was a foreigner—an Italian,—who e;-rnsd by his benefactions the title of " anssi bien Fran c ois quo le meilleur de son temps ;" and that twice with-; in the :Lost GO years France has owed the restoration of. order, tranquillity, and glory to a family Italian by. oriein, and more than French by sympathy ! The diecours of M. Nisard is highly suggestive—not , so much by what it says as by what it omits to say.; Nor i ave we reason to suppose his opinions, delicately; and iegenieuslv conveyed, are singular in France. How for his or the Due de Broglie's jedgrnent may be in the; right it is not for us to pronounce. Speaking as friends, but els) ai strangers removed from the immediate scene' ef action, we should say that, although the latter has the advantage in hopefulness, the former is stronger in truth. The recorded putt justifies M. Nisard's love cf a strong government • but the Duke's sanguine trust in the virtues of his kind indicates the existence of that benevolence and that equity, without which statesman ship ultimately degenerates into a calculation of anta gonist vices, and public life becomes the market of com peting venalities. Otte word in conclusion. In justice to M. Nisard, we cannot refrain from acknowledging with gratitude his manly and intelligent protest against that wretched ma terialism of which France has not yet, we fear,, reaped the last or bitterest fruits; and, in parting with there two distingiitsbed ornaments *V their - country, let us hope that; whatever be the colour of their pntrttOS or her de , tinv, she and they may find many a worthy champion to follow their example in fighting against " l'itrange doctrine qui fait de la personalitd hnmaine un resultat des dispositions de la matiere, et de la pens6e un pro. duit des nerfs du cerveau." REMARKABLE CASE OF FRAUD. Application was made a few weeks ago to Sir R. W. Carden, as a magistrate of the county of Surrey, by a clergyman. for advice and assistance in a case of exten sive fraud, and we have the satisfaction to state that the me %sures adopted by the energetic magistrate were com pletely successful. The information upon which the rev. gt n'leman grounded his application was as follows : —The brother of the gentleman who waited upon Sir R. W. Carden was, it appears, the sole surviving trustee in a trust account, and it was discovered that he had sold out from time to time the whole of the stock, am tenting to about 9,0001. Console. As soon as suspi cion was entertained that so important a trust was vio lated an investigation was commenced, and it was ascer tained that at as late a period as October last he bad rlriwn from the Bank, in his character as trustee, the large sum of 5,8001., having acted at that time as solicitor and co-trustee of the property bequeathed by the father to the children. The depredations had been commenced in the year 1850 by a small sale of 2007. Consols, and from the middle of that year till last October the person in whom such implicit re liance had been placed had sold out gradually upwards of 3,0001. of the stock, and appropriated it to his own pur poses. After s' me difficulty, bank-notes paid for the stock sold - out to the amount of 5,6001. were traced from the Bank of England through a variety of channels to the house of an agent at Boulogne, who, by the direc tion of his principal, invested the whole of the money in the French Rentes, payable to bearer. The moment the communication was made to Sir R. W. Carden an able officer, who had been some years c!erk to the English Consul at Ostend, and was well acquainted with the lan guage as well as the police regulations and mode de( mm. mercial business of the French capital, was despatched to the continent, after having received particular directions and recomreeedations from the magistrate. This officer on the day of er his arrival at Boulogne conferred with the police authorities on the subject., but could obtain no intelligence of the person he sought. Nobody could tell bins whether any person of the name or description g iven was at the time or had been at all in the town. Armed with more full instructions from Sir R. W. Car ` den, the officer pursued the inquiry in the most earnest ( manner, and at last succeeded, not only in finding the addeess, but in becoming the constant and confidential companion of the person he sought, and thus became acquainted with all the transactions in which the man was concerned. The trustee remained at Boulogne for three days, and then proceeded to Paris for the purpose of selling thel French stock in which ho had invested the propErty of which he had deprived his relatives, calcu lating upon a considerable profit in consequence of the improved state of the market. Two days after the arrival of the officer at Paris the delinquent was arrested by the police at the instance of the English constable, who bad watched his steps, and there was quite information enough found in his pockets to justify his detention. An attempt was made by a solicitor, who was employed by the accused, to obtain his immediate discharge, upon the ground that " no offence had been committed ;" but those to whom the appeal was made refused to take any notice of it, and the officer employed by Sir R. W. Carden, after having astonished the delinquent by stating the exact nature cf his calling and mission, had the gratification of receiv ing from his hands the whole of the securities, amount. ing to about 6,0007., of which the family bad been plundered since the month of October. The sum trans ferred from the English to the French funds had been increased greatly by the political events whi c h h a d recently taken place, so that the very act of robbery proved advantageous through the energy of the magis trate, the intelligence and activity of the officer, and the admirable: m anner in which the French police acted throughout the whole business. There had been three trustees originally, in whose names the property of the family bad been invested ; but two having died—the one before, and the other in the year 1850—the surviving trustee had the sole control over the property, which in a few days would have been swept away f.r ever, as the plunderer had made preparations to leave Europe. The legatees would have had to encounter greater difficulties in obtaining satisfaction if the depredator had been de tected at home, for before anything could be done to wards the recovery of the money an application to the Lerd Chancellor for an order would have been indi,pen sable, and the tardy operations in equity would l.a'-e postponed anything like vigorous action for several weeks. In France the offence, which is here delicatele called " breach of trust," is designated flat robbery, and the delinquent i 4 not only heavily fine], but sentenced to undergo two years' imprisonment.

The meeting was well attended. Mr. Beadle then moved the first resolution—" That this meeting deems it expedient that the cab proprietors of the metropolis, for the protection of their own interests, as well as to afford the public tha increased accommodation in transit to various parts of the metropolis which the re quirements of the population demand, should ,tart their cabs as one horse mstropol tan stage carriages." In support, he said he was of opi• nion that the French Company aimed at buying up th• cab trade and taking the whole transit of the metro' olia. Mr. Moran seconded the motion, and af,:er a few uorda the resolution was put and agreed to unanimously.

Fifty thousand well-known and recorded eases e s t a bli s h thi s ; an d the number of wit nee-es to ire effects is daily increasing. Amongst the female sex its salutary effects arc as narked as amongst males. Miss Elizabeth Jacobs writes, from Nazing Vicarage, near Wal tham Cross, Herts :—" I have been suffering at least 7 years, in the prime of life, from indigestion, nervousness, headaches, inflammation, and gatherings, low spirits, general deb:lity, sleeplessness, and delusions; and, during all that time, I have required, every year, so much medical attendance that I have been almost ruined by doctors' bills." She then presents her heartfelt gratitude to Messrs. an Barry for the complete cure effected by Du Barry's Food. Mrs. Mary Godsmark, of liunton, writes : —" Your excellent Food hac released me from an incredible accumulation of suffering, for which, during the last 8 years, all kinds of medicines had been tried is vain. My feelings and sufferings previous to taking your Food were the following ;—indigestion, nervousness, biliousness, affec tion of the liver and kidneys, costiveness, palpitation of the heart, noises in the ear, pains in ahnost all the body, low spirits, general debility, loss of memory, wretchedness, theu,ghts of self-destruction." James Porter, Esq., of Perth, returns thanks on behalf of a lady, who had been for 13 years afflicted with indigestion, prostration of strength , &c.,accom panied by cough. Mr. Thee. Walker, King's-road, Chelsea, expresses his " gratitude and plsasnrc" for . the good dose by the Food to his wife, who, previous to taking " hail been suffering for a long time from dyspepsia, producing alternately diarrhoea, and the apposite state of the system ; and although medicine gave temporary relief, it proved of no lasting bene fit." Mary Gilbert, of Trevagler, near Penzance, says : " Eighteen years' nervous debility, violent palpitation of the heart, throbbing of the temples, violent pains in the left side and back, shortness of breath, cough, numbness of the extre mities, cramps, spasms, flatulency, retching, and such gene ral weakness that I was constantly fearful of falling, when on my legs ; all these symptoms have been removed by Du Barry's excellent Food." It is impossible to make room in a ne;spaper pa ragraph for the varied but concurrent language of thankfulness in which the writers describe their escape from their sufferings. It is a proud and enviable position for M ess rs.
