LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 1. ST. MARTIN IN THE FIELDS-SELECT VESTRIES-GOLDING V. FENN, AND OTHERS. (Concluded from our Paper of Tuesday.) The evidence on both sides was chiefly documentary ; and from the evidence for the plaintiffs, it appeared, that in a document, bearing date 1225, a person, named Hutt, was described as possessed of a tenement, "situated iu the village of Charing, between the shop of Richard the smith and the King's highway, near . unto the Church of St. Martin of Charing." In a fine levied in 1251, the pro perty was described as " in the parish of St. Martin's, Westminster ;" and in Pope Nicholas's taxation of ecclesi astical property, in 1292. there was mentioned, the pro perty of " the parish of St. Martin-in-the-Fields." In the pleadings in an action tried at Westminster in the year 1300, the parish was described as " the parish of St. Martin-in-the-Fields ;" and it was similarly described in several assessments made in 1339. In a conveyance executed in 1369, the property was described as si tuated " Iu Charing-cross, in the parish of the Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields." There were several entries in the parish books as far back as 1577, from which it ap peared, that the parish business had been conducted by small bodies, consisting sometimes of 13, 15, and 20 per sons, who were described as " Masters," " Worshipful," and " Ancients," of the parish ; that vestries were held in private houses in the parish; and that from 1662, the date of the faculty granted by the Bishop of London, the business of the parish had been conducted by a select body, consisting of forty-nine persons (the number mentioned in the faculty), the Vicars, and the Churchwardens. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the Jury for the defendants. He trusted that, unlees.the Jury should be satisfied that the plaintiffs had established their case beyond all doubt, their verdict would not be in favour of Select Vestries, which were founded upon a principle repugnant to the spirit of the British Constitution—the principle of taxation without representation. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL having replied, Lord TENTEIMEN, in summing up, said that the question for the Jury was. whether, from time immemorial, there had existed in this parish a Select Body, without reference to the number of it might be composed. If the Jury should be of opinion that there had been such a Body, then their verdict would be for the plaintiffs. His Lord ship having recapitulated the evidence, The Jury retired for twenty minutes, and found a verdict in the affirmative upon the three questions, thereby esta blishing the alleged right of Select Vestries.

TREMENDOUS STORM AT GODSTONE IN SURREY.—Yesterday evening at about half-past three o'clock a storm of thunder and lightning, accompanied by hail, occurred at Caterham and Godstone ; it lasted for about three hours, during which its violence was unremitted. The corn, barley, and oats, at Caterham sustained irre parable injury. We learn also that no less than three water-spouts burst, one at Birchwood, the other in the neighbourhood of Caterham. The Godstone road in many parts is inundated to the depth of nearly four feet. Since our account of the lamentable accident of the burning of the George IV. steam-vessel went to press, we have had an opportunity of conversing with the mate of the vessel and two men employed on board of her. Mr. Forrest, the mate, states, that he was sleeping in one of the births on deck, when he was aroused by the ringing of the alarum-bell. lie saw, on going on deck, the blaze coming up through the crank hatches. One of the boiler makers was standing near, who raised his hands, exclaim ing, "We are ruined for ever! What. shall we do?"-- John Williams also states, that he was on board from nine until half-past one o'clock; that about one he went down to the forecastle, where the men slept ; an that he neither saw any signs of fire, nor smelt any thing to indicate its existence in the forecastle, nor, in deed, in any part of the vessel. John Doran, who was on board the packet at the time the fire broke out, corro borates Mr. Forrest's statement respecting the flames issuing first from the crank hatches. These facts are stated, not for the purpose of criminating any indivi dual or individuals ; but for the purpose of showing, that there is every reason to believe the accident did not ori ginate from carelessness on the part of the officers or crew of the George IV. as an imputation of that kind might weaken the confidence of the public in the safety of steam vessels in general,—Liverpool SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.. The speeches in the House of Lords last night, explanatory of the motives which influenced the late Ministers in resigning, amounted to little more.than an acknowledgment that Mr. Canning was not a Minister to their taste. The Duke of Wellington,_ who made a statement of his own reflections and feelings on the subject, was evidently more piqued at a seeming coolness in Mr. Canning's first note to his Grace, announcing the project of a new Admi nistration, than deterred by any political difference with regard to the Catholic Question. But we have not opportunity at present to do more than hint at the factious basis of the Tory Opposition, as compared with the enlightened and gratifying de clarations by the. Marquis of Lansdown and Lord Goderich of the public principles on which they coalesced. An attentive perusal is due to the whole discussion, on which we may have some remarks to offer by-and-by.—Tintes. It was but in a part of our impression of yesterday that we were enabled to state the very peculiar cir cumstance which had occurred at Paris on Sunday last. On that day the review of the National Guard took place in the Court of the Tuileries. It was the anniversary of the return of the late King of France to his capital- The day and scene were alike bril liant; but the splendour of the morning was ob scured before the shades of evening arrived; a cry of dissatisfaction—which the journals anxiously restrict to the persons of the Ministers, or rather to that of the chief Minister, Villele—broke forth at intervals, and in various bodies of these citizen-soldiers. The King himself is said, in one account, to have seized a man in the act of insubordination, and to have ig nominiously remove(' Jirn from the ranks. On the next moniinc , the whole of the National Guard of Paris was disbanded, and the services of the Gendarmerie substituted. We will frankly say that though we of this country have no taste for a military police, such as is the Gendarmerie, yet we admire the courage and promptitude with which the chief Minister of the Crown dismissed and turned adrift a body of men by whom his Royal Master had been insulted—a body of men, too, that had occupied all the avenues of the Palace for years, and who, therefore, ought by this time, to have learned the practical advan tages which result from respect to the person of,the Sove reign. The cry was only against the Minister, but the King was meant; and it was, therefore, less for his own sake than for that of his Royal Master, that the Minister procured the dismission of this turbulent band. The Pepe and the Jesuits were alluded to, in coarse and rud,: language. We hope the Minister will curb the Jesuits, and controul the Pope, but that be will not suffer their names to be used in order to overthrow the legitimate authority of the Crown, or to oppress a portion of his fellow-subjects, among whom the Catholic religion is at least better than no religion at alt.—Rid. Mr. Peel's example was followed in the House of Lords, last night, by the five Noble Lords, his late colleagues—who all, by some unaccountable ac cident, happened at the very same nick of time, to think of throwing up their offices. We will not offend their Lordships by appling to this accidental coincidence the vulgar and odious term, combina tion. As the Lord Chancellor observed, " the charge of conspiracy was totally unfounded ; and there was not a Jury of twelve men to be found in the country, who would listen to such a charge. There was not, and there could be no evidence." His Lordship is too well versed in matters of the kind, not_ to know that proof is impossible; and where no proof to the contrary can be produced, a denial can never be too strong. It was the merest accident in the world that they all happened to re sign at the same time; and the surprise of the de throned Kings in Candide, who all happened to meet at the Carnival of Venice, when they came to find each other out, could.not, we dare to say, be greater, thin' was that of the runaway Lords, when each found out that he was not alone in the retreat. In short, a fugitive who, in the commencement of a battle, takes the prudent precaution of sneaking out of the way for a while, could not be more per plexed on perceiving another actuated by kindred feelings, entering his snug retreat, than each Noble Lord was on finding that the blessing of retirement had impressed itself on others as well as himself. Even Lord Melville—an ardent advocate of the Ca tholic Claims, and who could not, therefore, had he had time to reflect, but have rejoiced beyond mea sure, to find that the elevation to the Premiership of one who shared his views with regard to the pa ramount importance of conceding the Catholic Claims, and who, of course, would have been the very last man in the world to join in any conspiracy of which the object was to prevent the King - from exercising his prerogative in choosing Mr. Can ning,—even Lord Melville was accidentally carried away by the whim of the moment. " For him self (said his Lordship) he declared distinctly, and on his honour, that from the hour of Lord Liver pool's illness down to the hour of his resignation ,he had not had the slightest communication of any kind or description with any one of his colleagues regarding the formation of a new Administration." He denied " that he acted in concert with any of his colleagues who had retired. He had acted in dependently on his own account."—" In fact, it was not possible in the nature of things, that any con cert or conspiracy whatever could have existed."— But it so happened that though his Lordship had "the greatest esteem for the Right Hon. Gentle man who was at present at the head of his Majesty's Government," and though that Right Hon. Gentle man and himself thought alike on a question of paramount iniportance, and they both differed on it from Lord Liverpool, yet " he certainly must say, that the change of Prime Minister from Lord Liver pool to his present Right Honourable Friend, at the head of the Treasury,• was a change for the worse ;" and therefore, though he detested the idea of acting in concert or conspiracy, the moment he heard (ac cidentally of course)" that not only the Right Hon. Secretary of State for the Home department, but the Noble Duke at the head of the Army, the No ble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack, and the Noble Earl presiding over the Colonial Office, had intimated their intention to retire, and not to form a part of the new Administration, he immediately de termined to follow their example, and that although on the question of Catholic Emancipation he pur sued a different course from them." If all this is' ant very clear and very satisfactory to our readers, we cannot help it. But we will do justice to his Lordship. Some of our readers may think his Lordship, for a Scotchman, a very simple man, in running away, not merely from his own principles (which were triumphant in the elevation of Mr. Canning), but running away from office merely be cause certain individuals had chosen to run away.— But one small phrase escaped his Lordship, which proves that his Lordship, whatever may be the result, had the best intentions not to act foolishly. 1" Was it to be imperative on him to form part of an Aministration, whatever opinions he might have formed of its stability or character ?" His Lord ship, it appears, after the loss of so many, judged that Mr. Canning's would be the weaker side; and so he thought the prudentest course would be for him to help to make it weaker. This wish to be prudent will, we trust, be yet of service to him in Scotland, where it appears, that his desertion has been so little understood, that the Magistrates of one of the Divisions of Edinburgh (Portsburgh) even refused to drink his health. He fled only that he might return triumphant. He chose privation for a time, for the sake of the fullness to which it would lead. Had he stuck to his principles, and supported the ablest advocate of them, he might have lost place for ever; whereas, by abandoning principles and place at the same time, he might en sure a long continuance in office. His Lordship may return to Scotland when he pleases—he has fully established his character for a prudent States man, a " man of the world." It was 'impossi ble that the Government could be carried on after such a heavy loss as that of the other great seceders and himself. The various declara tions are exceedingly curious, and will be read, we have no doubt, with much interest. But before alluding more particularly to them, we must advert to the significant menaces of the Lord Chancellor. You, Gentlemen, who are now in place, have chosen to agitate the Catholic Question .when it suited you to do 10. It is now our turn to agitate it—and though I cannot decide causes, I will try if I can not bring you to a decision. " The Catholic Question (quoth his Lordship) was one which had now attained a degree of very great importance. Such importance, indeed, that it was not possible, according to the opinion of many Noble Lords, that the settlement of it could be longer postponed. Like them, he also had long tried to bring it to issue. He for One was satisfied that the time was come when this question should be disposed of, and he purposed to bring it to a decision." No doubt. Shall we look tamely on, while our enemy is adding to his numbers, and our ranks are thinning every (lay, and be forced at last to fight at a disad vantage ? Did not Mr. Peel well observe, " that the Prime Minister has the disposal of all the pa tronage of Government—every place of preferment in the Church, every political office is disposed of by ;Jim ;" " I myself have known of several con versions made by capital of one kind or another ;" and therefore let us attack thNn before the capital has been extensively applied in the work of conver sion. Such is the advice of that individual of whom Mr. Peel, when mentioning hini along with the Duke of Wellington, rather unaccountably forgot to say that he shared his Grace's " simplicity and singleness of nature, and habitual candour and open ness." But, of course, when Mr. Peel prints his speech, the omission will be supplied. Lord Mans field was a little more explicit than this single hearted individual; for he declared, " that on the 4th of June next, he should submit a motion to their Lordships, the object of which would be, to move their Lordships to a resolution in favour of Catholic Emancipation, to the fullest extent to which any meaning had ever been applied to the terms; or-he should move an Address, that would elicit from the King a declaratisn such as it befitted a Protestant Parliament to suggest ; and such as a James the Second, and no other Monarch, could re fuse." Vastly cunning all this ; no doubt; but; " sweet children of turpitude," do not allow your selves to be too much elated witli.the hopes held out by his Lordship. These redoubtable tactics (though we have heard that the Lord Chancellor has been tasking his single-heartedness with his chosen friends to contrive perplexing motions) may be combated. We are not cast down with apprehension. The apologies of the seceders may be comprised in a few words. They could not do without Mr. Canning, and they did not like to be under him, and Nr. Canning would not serve in a subordinate situation, having the best title of all of them to be at the head, and so they re signed, having just as good a right to determine whether they should remain in Administration as his Ma jesty had to name his Ministers. All their lengthy and prosy speeches amount only to this much. Each of them. had, no doubt, flattered himself, if Mr. Canning could have consented to serve with the seal of perpetual exclu sion on him, on account of his principles, that he might be Premier. The country will attach much less import ance to these last speeches and testimonies, than. the Noble speakers. Their opposition cannot be very formidable to the Ministry, and, indeed, they themselves seem to rest their hopes principally on the handle which the Catholic Question will give them. Even Lord Mansfield unwil lingly betrayed his opinion of his friends, by declaring that Mr. Canning could only have recommended to the King to form a No-Popery Administration, that he might have the pleasure of knocking down the Ministers like so many nine-pins. But. the country, which is sick of all this factious work, and which is. not in a humour to be trifled with by the solemn fool ries of some of those hereditary Senators, will teach thorn the amourtt'Of their importance, and that ere long. T.',epeeches of the Ex- Ministers were, upon the wlt?le t ,rseettul and decorous. But Lord Londonderry arul i hnelat.ts%l4,. Ellenborough (the wise man who lately hlinself by advo cating the shooting of innocent' Meta, - as_ the ling of in nocent men was equally beneficial, in the way of example, with killing guilty men), .Ikl not seem to relish, tint/ the exhibition should close in thiti)li.Cid way. The Marquess of Londonderry began the assault. Ned' priiicip)es, lie said, had been of late creeping into the Cabinet. Mr. Canning had " aimed at the subversion of all those prin ciples which his lamented brother, maintained," and he de termined no longer to support:.osni x it. He, like Lord T.felville, seemed, howertr,, tn" loss with his principles, " for anxious as lie "; ie measure of Catholic Emancipation, Yet; be OW pier that Mr. Peel, although on the principle liexclusion, ults Prime Minister, than that the rime Minister held that office, inasmuch as he r e consistency to inconsistency, and honesty to ,dialtonesty." After this specimen of his Lordship's principlea, we may knOw what meaning he attaches to honesty or dishonesty. Pope says, a want of " honesty is want of sense ;" but his Lordship seems to think they might be separated, for "he hoped (he said) he was a man of sense," at which the House laughed heartily. The other Noble Lord's speech was equally abusive, and, as usual, abundantly puggish. Of his sense, however, as he said nothing himself; we also shall say nothing. The Marquess of Lansdown, in a manly, tem perate speech, contrasting, in every respect, with thosi to which he adverted, justified the consistency of the course ' which lie had adopted, and exposed the absurdities of the accusations brought against Ministers. But our limits and the hour will not. allow us to enter farther into the sub ject.—Morning Chronicle. The House of Lords was yesterday the scene of most extraordinary bustle. The several avenues ' leading to it at an early hour became approachable with the greatest difficulty. Lord Lyndhurst, _the new Lord Chancellor, took the oaths and his seat, as did Lords Goderich, Plunkett, &c. Before the commencement of the public business, around the throne was amazingly crowded by Members of Par liament, Peeresses, &c.; and many Members were obliged to seek for accommodation below the bar, where they found it with considerable difficulty, owing to the crowds already there. The body of the House was also astonishingly crowded, there being a full attendance of Peers. Lord Eldon, the Duke of Wellington, &c. took their teats on the cross benches, which are between the Ministerial and Opposition benches: After some remarks from Lord Grosvenor, &c. on the importance of the Ca tholic Question, in the present state of affairs, the retired Ministers entered into explanations of their motives for quitting office. Lord Eldon complained of the charges that had been preferred against him, and declared, that the alleged desire of acting with the view of dictating to his Sovereign, and that he had withdrawn hiniself in concert with other Ministers, were false and infamous calumnies. In adopting that step he had acted froln his own feelings. The Duke of Wel lington likewise complained of having been calmoniated, especially by the Press, and that he had been held forth as little less than k conspirator. He strongly denied that be had acted from any desire to dictate to his Sovereign, Or that be had resigned as acting in concert with any of his colleagues to increase the difficulties of'forming a new Ad ministration ; be bad resigned from personal motives— feeling that as he differed in opinion on an important question, there could be no cordial co-operation. The explanations of both these Peers were listened to with the most anxious attention, interrupted only by loud cheering, which interruptions were frequent. Lord Bexley and other Peers also addressed the House.—Morning Herald. The explicit and frank explanation given by Mr. Peel in the House of Commons of the motives which led to his retirement from - office, does credit to his temper and understanding. When sincerity of principle is united to a modest determination of manner, it must produce an effect superior to all the acted vehemence and graces which the rhetorician can command. This explanation must put to silence that gross and vulgar calumny of a concerted move ment to defeat or overawe the Royal will, which some journals have repeated from day to day against the Ex-Ministers, ever since it was ascertained that Mr. Canning had become Lord of the Ascendant. Every body recollects that one journal went so far as to designate the whole of the retired Members of the Cabinet, as " a gang of conspirators." It now appears, as we all along expected it would appear, that whether the policy of the late Ministers was right or wrong, they were actuated solely by an ad 7 herence to their principles in withdrawing theMselves from the Couacils of the Sovereign. It even ap pears that Mr. Peel, so far from " conspiring" against his Royal Master, communicated his intention to re sign only to one Minister before it took place, and that Minister was Mr. Canning himself. With the same earnestness that Mr. Peel disclaimed any pre concert on his own part, he disclaims it on the part of all-his colleagues, and triumphantly puts down the charge of their having formed any thing like a cabal. It was the Catholic Question that constituted the impassable barrier between the Ex-Secretary and the Premier. As long as Mr. Peel conscientiously believes the success of that question would be pre judicial to the best interests of the country, he has a clear right to act upon that conviction, without deserving to be called " factious" for so doing. On the other hand, if, entertaining such an opinion in his heart, he had agreed to act under a Prime Minister who is the decided advocate of the measure, he would be chargeable with the crime of sacrificing his country to his ambition, or with the meanness of preferring the emoluments of place to the honest approbation of his own conscience. Notwithstanding all the corruption and sordidness of feeling which we have observed of late years, in that station were honourable sentiment ought to be ever found, we do not hesitate to say that probity of character will do more for a public man in .this country, even in the present times, than any talents, however brilliant, or intrigue, however suc cessful. Public virtue is certainly a very rare commodity ; but it has become, perhaps, the more valuable on that very account—and it is sure to have public opinion with it in the end. The politician who grasps at place and power, without regard to consistency or desertion of principles, may have a great deal of cunning—hut such a person will often have to lament the want of that wisdom which in spires confidence by being above deception. —lbid. The discussion in the House of Lords, last night was of a character still more interesting than that which took place in the House of Commons on Tuesday; inasmuch as a larger proportion of the noble and distinguished individuals who have seceded from the late Cabinet, entered into explanations. The Earl of Eldon, Earl Bathurst, the Duke of Wel lington, Lord Melville, Lord Goderich, and others, addressed the House. Among them was the Mar qujs of Londonderry, and his speech was, indeed, an extraordinary one. But we have no inyntion of going into the subject at present. The whole case of the retiring Ministers is now, we presume, before the country ; each individual has told what he had to tell—has explained what he had to explain. We earnestly invite the serious and anxious attention of the public to the whole exposition which has been made of an extraordinary and unprecedented ministerial crisis.—lt is but fitting that sufficient time should be allowed for these statements to be deliberately weighed and examined, before , we attempt to analyse the materials of which they are composed. We claim, on our own behalf even, an inter val, to examine their abstract character and relative bear ings, that we may offer no crude and superficial opinions respecting them ; for they embrace many points of high import, both as regards persons and principles.—New Times. THE MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE.—MAY 2. There are very moderate supplies of all kinds of Grain this week. Wheat remains scarce, and Monday's advance is hilly supported. Barley, Beans, and Pease, remain as last reported. There is not much demand for Oats, and this article remains at the same terms as on Monday. There is a fair demand for freak-made Flour. ♦RRIVALS.

There has been a fair weekly import of Wheat and Flour, with a large supply of Pease round land ; but the arrivals of Oats, and of all other Grain, are small. Our millers purchased freely of 'Wheat, and the sales of the week have been nearly equal to the supply, without pro ducing any improvement in prices. Oats have continued excessively dull, but there are few of fine quality on sale, and some holders, in their anxiety to force sales, have submitted to a small decline. Malt, Barley, and Beans, have remained steady in price, with a very limited sale. Pease have fallen from 2s. to 3s. per quarter. In Flour and Oatmeal no alteration. COTTON WOOL-GLASGOW.

KING'S SERGEANT.—At the Sitting of the Court of Kirg's Bench yesterday, John Bernard Bosanquet, Esq., having .been raised to the rank of King's Sergeant, presented himself at the bar, and was desired by the Lord Chief Justice to take his rank accordingly. THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.—The Right Honourable Sir Charles Abbott, Knight, Lord Chief Jus tice of the Court of King's Bench, having been raised to ,the Peerage, by the title of Baron Tenterden, of Hendon, and yesterday being the day appointed for his Lordship to attend the House of Lords to take the oaths, and have his Patent of Peerage recorded, the Barristere, practising in his Lordship's Court, resolved, as a mark of respect, and of the high sense entertained of his Lordship's character and distinguished endowments, to accompany him to the scene of his exaltation, and congratulate him in the promotion to an honour as deserving in his Lordship personally, as gra tifying to the feelings of those who defer to the ascendancy of personal genius over the mere . pride of ancestry. Ac 'cordingly, at half-past three o'clock, his Lordship, being attired in his robes of state, proceeded from his robing room, in company of Mr. Justice Bayley and Mr. Justice Littledale, into Westminster Hall, where he was greeted by the presence of a large body of Barristers, waiting to attend him to the House of Lords. Mutual obeisances took place. Those of his Lordship appeared to come from the heart, and intimated an intensity of feeling to which no language could give expression. Certainly the motive of this mark of respect, and the manner in which it was testified, could not fail of impressing his Lordship with emotions of no ordinary gratification. His Lordship was attended to the House of Lords by the whole Bar, who had the gratification of seeing his Lordship inaugurated into the high station to which he had. been promoted. We believe that there never was a period when the number of persons emigrating from this port to the United States and to Canada was so great as it is at the present moment. Most of the vessels which hare sailed, during the last four weeks, for the above countries, hays taken out crowds of passengers, consisting of men, women, and children. Some of the vessels took out the whole number of passengeis that they are by law allowed to carry, and a medical man was on board of each, to look after the health of the emigrants. It is estimated, that the total number of persons who have emigrated in the course of this month is nearly thirteen hundred. It was, indeed, a painful sight to sec so many of our fellow subjects quit the country of their birth, and, forced away by the distresses of the times, embark on the tempestuous ocean to seek an asylum for themseWes and their helpless families " beyond the western main." What sufferings these poor people must endure, and what numbers of them will perish before they reach the Eden, which they expect to find on the North American Continent ! The heart bleeds when one contemplates the , painful subject. The great bulk of the emigrants proceed to the United States. --Liverpool Albion. TUNNEL UNDER THE THAMES. STRIKE OP THE WORK-PEOPLE. The neighbourhood of this spot has, during th e last week, been one interrupted scene of riot and confusion, and the whole operations of the tunnel are entirely suspended. The Committee of Management, not con tent with reducing the wages of the men, have now determined on a similar reduction of the salaries of the officers. The consequence has been, that on Monday morning the officer having the immediate superin tendence of the men, in vain exercised his lungs to procure the attendance of the usual workpeople ; although the majority of them were present, they were deaf to his call ; and having finished the usual quantity of names which are called over at each shift, and no one entering, the lodge was closed, and the workpeople quietly dispersed, after expressing themselves in unqualified terms against the Board of Directors, and avowing a determination n ot to return to their occupation until some augmentation was made to their weekly payment. The work, in con sequence has been left four days in a state of considerable danger. Nothing serious has happily at present occurred, but the most fearful anticipations exist upon the recom mencement of the excavation. The face of the ground at the immediate spot where the shield is now passing, must have necessarily become extremely soft, from the continued drippings, and the strata of earth through which the excavators are now passing, is of so loose a na ture, that the greatest apprehensions have long since pre vailed. It was currently reported in the neighbourhood of the tunnel, that some spirited shareholders, bar ing accidentally visited the spot, and finding it in its present state of desertion, had resolved on calling a public meeting, for the purpose of demanding some inquiry into the conduct of the Board of Directors. The neighbourhood is in such an irritated state, that it has been deemed absolutely necessary to have an additional police force on the spot. The men yesterday flocked in great numbers to deliver up the clothes which have been supplied to them by the Company, for the return of which a notice had been pre viously issued.
