B :,dnell, Da v i ss , Pott, Alfred Smee, F.R.S., Soley, Besley, Lad bury, Sowell, &c. After the usual loyal toasts, Mr. Alfred Smee, in a very able and lucid speech, explained the objects and advantages of the company, and was followed by other gentlemen composing the direction. The vocal department was most admirably conducted by Mr. Benson, assisted by Miss Poole, Miss Eyles, Mr. Barnby, Mr. Riggs, Mr. Donald King, and Mr. Lawler, who gave some highly pleasing ballads and madrigals. The repast was most recherche, combining all the delicacies of the season, and most creditable to the taste of the caterer, Mr. Bathe. The whole went off, as the playbills say, with unbounded applause. SOLDIERS' WIVES.—The position of soldiers' wives at this crisis is occupying a good deal of attention over the country. In Glasgow we are gratified to find the ladies moving with a subscription in aid of the married women of the 77th Regiment, who have no friends in Scotland, England, or Ireland, and therefore wish to go to their homes out of the United Kingdom, for which there is no Provisiou made by the country,—North British, Daily Mai?.

I, to eed, hes, TOM iam eat niel iced Ivor the POSTPONEMENT OF THE REFORM BILL. Ministers have decided to postpone the second read ing of the Reform Bill from the 13th of March to the 27th of April. As everything concurs to impress us with the conviction that they are sincerely and reso lutely bent upon carrying the measure, we have no hesi tation in saying that we believe this postponement to be wise and well judged. Our conviction that Ministers are really anxious to carry the bill rests upon various grounds. In the first place we have confidence in Lord John Russell ; for, independently of the noble lord's well-earned reputation for integrity, it is upon his Reform measure that he has latterly, more than anything else, reposed his claims to the confidence and support of the country. Again we have, on the question of Reform, confidence in Lord Aberdeen. We have been diametrically opposed to his Lordship's policy in the Eastern question, and we have not been slow to express our antagonism. But even in that matter we must admit that Lord Aberdeen never deceived us ; never said one thing while he meant another. We think Lord Aberdeen is sincere, whether we may think him in the right or in the wrong : and, having found him sincere while erring on the Eastern question, we are bound to give him credit for sincerity when he is right on the question of Parliamentary Reform. Lord Aberdeen has been compelled by the gross and palpable abuses in the representation to become a Re former.; and the very tardiness of his conversion—unex aggerated as his confession of it is—ought to be received as a guarantee of its sincerity. Predisposed on these grounds to place reliance on the professions both of the Premier and Lord John Russell—of the head of the Mi nistry and the Minister more especially charged with the introduction and promotion of the Reform Bill—we are further convinced of their sincerity by the reasons they assign for postponing the measure, and the unexaggerated phrase in which these reasons are worded. When he introduced the bill, Lord John Russell intimated that before proceeding farther-with it, he felt the necessity of getting through the financiai business of the session, in eider that in the event of war becoming inevitable the exertions of Government against the enemy should be free and unhampered. This financial business cannot possibly be completed by the 13th of March, the day originally fixed for the second reading of the Reform Bill ; it therefore becomes necessary to take a lenger day for that step. Even though no treacherous and insidious opposition to the measure had been threatened it would have been the duty of Ministers to postpone the second reading of the bill. But the Vane- Dering conspiracy must not be left out of account. Were Ministers to insist upon having the bill read a second time on the day originally fixed—before the discussion of the budget was well over—before the mes sage from her Majesty respecting the relations of this country and Russia, which must be presented to the house before the close of the present month, had been brought down —the reasons assigned by the mouth piece of the malcontent Peelites, and the mouthpiece of the territorial Whigs, might have appeared plausible to some weak though well-meaning members of Parlia ment. But by the 27th of April there is good reason to hope that the preliminary preparations for war will be concluded, and none who really are friendly to the Reform measure can be then misled by the Van-Dering fallacies. Sir Edward Dering, if the vote were to be taken on the second reading immediately, might be supported -by many whose eyes will be opened to the factious char acter of his opposition by the 27th of April. By postponing the second reading, therefore, Ministers have actually strengthened their position. We have hinted that the quiet, matter-of-fact, business-like tone in which the intended postponement has been intimated, both by Lord John Russell and Lord Aberdeen, in itself smacks of sincerity. We may also say that the announce ment by Lord John that the Irish and Scotch hills will be ready before the day now fixed for the second read ing of the English bill is—seeing that he has hitherto declined to specify a time when these bills should be brought in—is an additional proof that Ministers are earnestly and steadily maturing their whole scheme of Reform, with a view to have it made law without delay. If anything more were needed to show that the pros pects of ultimate success for the Ministerial measure of Reform are increased by the postponement, it would be found in last night's displays of Mr. Disraeli and Lord Derby. The bitterness of Mr. Disraeli's comment upon the announcement of Lord John Russell betrayed his consciousness that in consequence of the postponeMent he will have to play a losing game, and Lord Derby's angry interpellation of Lord Aberdeen betrayed the same conviction. To say that we acquiesce in the propriety of the post ponement would, therefore, be an inadequate expres sion of our opinion. We are glad of it ; for we be• lieve that, by waiting till the preliminary arrange ments in reference to Russia have been got through, and by at the same time peremptorily fixing a day for the renewal of the discussion, and showing that they are busily at work on the complementary Bills for Scotland Ireland, Ministers have increased the chances of their bill being carried. And it was necessary for them to take every precaution--to omit nothing that could strengthen their position, seeing how false and un scrupulous is the opposition with which they are threat ened. The re-actionary Derby-Disraeli faction see clearly that the success of the Ministerial measure will effectually take the sting out of them—render them impotent for fu ture mischief—and are therefore waspishly inveterate in their hostility. The smooth traitors who have post ponement in their mouths, while in reality their object is to burke a measure which endangers their ill-won seats in the Legislature, are seeking, amid friendly professions, to tie the hands of Ministers while the ultra-Tories attack them. And certain professors of extreme liberal opinions are doing their little utmost to ridicule and vituperate the Minis terial measure, because it will not enable them to bring a greater number - of their tail into the House of Commons. Thus attacked from so many quarters—by so many heterogeneous and incompatible assailants dis honestly allied—Ministers are right to choose their own time for fighting.—Daily News. GREAT BRITAIN AND FRANCE. The following are the instructions issued by the British and French Governments for the joint protection of British and French subjects and commerce. They are given in the form of a circular addressed to her Majesty's diplomatic and consular agents abroad : Foreign-office, Feb. 23, 1854. Sir,—The communication which has recently been made to you of the correspondence on Eastern affairs which has been laid before both Houses of Parliament, will have shown you that there is every probability of an early com mencement of hostilities between Great Britain and France on one side, and Russia on the other. The correspondence will also have shown you that the British and French Governments, throughout the difficult and complicated negotiations which have preceded the existing state of affairs, have earnestly and cordially acted together with a view to avert the calamity of war, and that they as e equally prepared to act with the same earnestness and cor diality for the preservation of the Ottoman empire, if the Emperor of Russia should still be unwilling to negotiate for peace on fair and reasonable terms. The time has now arrived when it is incumbent on the two Governments to prepare for all the contingencies of war; and among those contingencies it has been impossible for them to overlook the danger to which their subjects and their commerce on the high seas may be exposed by the machinations of their enemy, who, though unable from his own resources materially to injure either, may seek to derive means of offence from countries whose Governments take no part in the contest which he has provoked. But it is a necessary consequence of the strict union and alliance which exist between Great Britain and France, that, in the event of war, their conjoint action should be felt by Russia in all parts of the world ; and that not only in the Baltic, and in the waters and territory of Turkey ; their counsels, their armies, and their fleets, should be united either for offensive or defensive purposes against Russia, but that the same spirit of union should prevail in all quarters of the world, and that whether for offence or defence the civil and military and naval resources of the British and French Empires should be directed to the common objects of protecting the subjects and commerce of England and France from Russian aggression, and of de priving the Russian Government of the means of inflicting injury on either. For these reasons her Majesty's Government have agreed with that of his Majesty the Emperor of the French, to in struct their civil and naval authorities in foreign parts to consider their respective subjects as having an equal claim to protection against Russian hostility ; and for this pur pose, either singly or in conjunction with each other, to act indifferently for the support and defence of British and French interests. It may be that, in a given locality, one only of the Powers is represented by a civil functionary, or by a naval force; but, in such a case, the influence and the power of that ono must be exerted as zealously and efficiently for the protection of the subjects and interests of the other, as if those subjects and interests were its own. I have accordingly to instruct you, Sir, to act in con formity with this principle. You will consider it your duty to protect, as far as possible, against the consequence of the hostilities in which England and France may shortly be engaged with Russia, the subjects and interests of France equally with those of England; and you will make known without reserve to the French civil and naval authorities with whom yon may have moans of communi cation, any dangers to which the interests of either country may be exposed, or any opportunities with which you may become acquainted of inflicting injury on the common enemy. Instructions to the same effect will be sent by the Go vernment of France to its civil and naval authorities in fo reign parts, and her Majesty's Government concur with that of France in anticipating the most favourable results from this decided manifestation of the intimate union which prevails between them, and which it is their earnest desire should influence their agents in all parts of the world at a moment when they are about to engage in a contest with the empire of Russia for au object of such paramount inte rest to Europe as the maintenance of the Turkish empire. I am, Stc., (Signed) CLARENDON. EXPORT OF SPEciE.--The Plata steamer has sailed from Southampton for the West Indies, the P - a - cific, &c., with a full cargo of foreign and British merchandise, and 15,0001. in specie. The shipments of specie by the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Euxine amount to 155,668/., of which 28,4161. is gold for Malta, Alexan dria, Ceylon, and Hong Kong, and 127,2521. silver for Malta, Bombay, Madras, Calcutta, Singapore, Batavia, Hong Kong, Canton, and shanghai. PREPARATIONS 'OR WAR. The 63d Regiment, now quartered in Dublin, is under orders for a " particular service," and will either pro ceed to Greece or be drafted in companies on board the Baltic fleet. Recruiting is actively going on to fill up the ranks, 200 men having volunteered to the regiments forming the first division of the expeditionary force. A depot is to be formed in the Isle of Wight for the regiments proceeding on active service. Drs. Mitchell, Dumbreck, and Linton, staff-surgeons of the first-class, have started for Constantinople by the overland route. The Master-Generalship of the Ordnance will not be filled up during Lord Raglan's absence in the East. The provisional battalion at Chatham has a second time given volunteers for the regiments forming the British contingent. Arrangements have been made at Malta to accommo date 5,000 additional troops. ADDITIONAL TROOPS FOR THE EAST.—It is reported that the following regiments, in addition to those already named, have received orders for embarkation to join the army proceeding to Turkey —The 20th, 34th, 38th, and 97th Foot, and the 42d and 79th Highlanders. These, with another brigade to be formed from troops now stationed at Gibraltar and Malta, consisting of the 30th, 47th, and 55th Regiments, will constitute the third division of the army, thus making the total force of infantry 25,000 men. The service companies of regi ments proceeding to the Mediterranean, for service in our garrisons there, are ordered, from the Ist inst., to be completed to 700 rank and file. The 63d, from the Linen Hall, and 21st from Richmord Barracks, are un der orders for embarkation tie the East. Letters to that effect were received ye4terelly. 1,300 recruits have been already obtained_ and since the aug mentation of the army has been promulgated.—Lublin I Daily Express. —SOUTHAMPTON, MARCH 3. We understand that the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have issued circulars to all the large steam packet companies, inquiring what steam-vessels can be placed at the disposal of the Government for the con veyance of troops or stores. The name, tonnage, and horse-power of the vessels. The port at which the vessels are ; or, if not in Eng land, when and where they may be expected. If in offering the vessels any derangement of the mail or other service will take place. Whether any of the ves sels are adapted for the conveyance of horses below ; and, if so, whether the internal fittings will have to be removed. The expenditure of coal per day in each vessel. If the ships should proceed to ports in the Mediterranean, whether the company would undertake to coal their own vessels, and not to draw upon the Government stores. The probable expense, on rough estimate, of the employment of each ship for one, two, or three months. The only assistance which could be rendered from this port, without interruption to the mail packet service, would be the new steam-ships Colombo, Candia, and Simla, belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany, and the Magdalena, 2,750 tons, and 750-horse power, and the Medway, 1,800 tons, and 450-horse power, belonging to the West India Mail Company. The Magdalena is already chartered by the Government, and will be a most efficient troop-ship. The Medway might be got ready for sea within a short time, and would carry 700 or 800 men. The Colombo, a new screw steamer, of 1,800 tons and 400-horse power, belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental Company, is expected in a few days from the Clyde. The Simla, of 2,600 tons burden and 600-horse power, is getting ready for sea at Greenock with the greatest despatch, and, it is hoped, will be in Southampton in about six weeks. The Candia, of 2,250 tons and 500-horse power, is now in the Thames, and may be got ready for service in about two months. All these vessels would be most powerful and efficient aids to the steam transport service of the Govern ment,pated that and any will om d f oe thenblt t of c e o s n s beoffered. a tnryac to of ai ltheir companies lt ships, is n t o hw t e al will p t ici ro pose the employ with drawal of which would put a stop to the mail service ; but will, on the contrary, merely tender such steamers as can be spared for the present, thus throwing upon the Government the onus of withdrawing the mail packets in the event of the exigencies of the public service ren dering it necessary to do so. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 3. Each day developer more plainly the advance of the equipment of Sir Charles Napier's fleet, and the con tinued fine weather helps to an incalculable extent. The victualling proceeds almost without intermission ; so does the gunnery drill of Admiral Chads. A perpetual can nonading from 9 o'clock in the morning until 4 in the afternoon (allowing only for the dini.er-time), is daiiy going on, and attracts great interest Ashore. Aboard of survey, consisting of Captain H. Smith, C. 8., of the Neptune ; Captain Hutton, of the Prince Regent ; and Captain Crispin, jun., Captain of the Vic toria and Albert, with three medical officers, was held to-day at the Royal Naval Hospital Hasiar, Capt. Super intendent Courtenay, on about 60 41 ? ,Olants to be in valided ; 15 marine s and 45 seamen, soveral being coast guardmen newly draughted to serve afloat, were found unfit for active service on board ship, and were passed accordingly. The Prince Regent has completed her six months' provisions and stores for active service already. She will be paid down to-morrow at Spithead by the pay staff from the Admiralty, together with the Odin, Capt. Scott, in the basin, repairing boilers, &c. The Eoscawen, 70, Capt. Glanville, was pail to-day. The post of Flag-Captain to Sir Charles Napier has been offered to Capt. Dalrymple Hay, of the flag-ship Vic tory, who distinguished himself in actbn with pirates in the China seas, when commanding tie sloop Colum bine. The P r i nce Regent and Odi n are th e on l y s hi ps o f Rear -Admir a l C orr y's squadro n f rom v bi c h pay b oo k s have as yet been received. We trust the sailing of the fleet will not be delayed on accouit of the non performance of this clerical duty on beard ship. We believe we are correct in asserting that if neces sity requires, the whole of the fleet now at Spithead might be sent to sea to-morrow night. All the ships were to-day completed with water before 12 o'clock, and they will have shipped their provisions by to-morrow at noon. Thus the victualling department of Clarence-yard have shown what can be done on an emergency. Rear- Admiral Corry returns from town to-morrow. Commo dore Martin, of the Duke of Wellingtor, although ap pointed to the Nile, 91, has the option cf commanding that ship or a division of the smaller stean-frigates, with a broad pendant of the first class in the Leopard, 18. The Arrogant, 46, having coaled, returned to Spithead this morning, and the Dauntless, 33, came in for the apparently f or Pl ymouth, on special like purpose. The Magicienne, 16, h as st eame d away s t e o rv t i li c e e. westward, service, Porc u pi ne has b een despatched to look up volunteers on the coast. The Blenheim, 60, is adjusting her compasses in the harbour, preparatory to going out to Spithead. The Cmsar, 91, new screw ship, Capt. Robb, has been got out of harbour thisday. Her re markably speedyequiPm ent reflects the higlaeft credit on all engaged upon her, the engineer department es3ecially. She she r an th roig h th e fl ee t, and thence iito the har bour again. She had a large Stokes naaftbe r Lwi Bay, ghhi et h,and made tw) runs along party on board. Her machinery worked most splendidly ; n o t a r 'v e t or screw andtsee measuredind o e d wn o u t t o the tmo il lC e, displaced. She was tried ahead and astern, and an• swered perfectly. She realised a mean speed of 101 knots per hour, and came into harbour at 4 p.m. to complete for sea. Whatever ill fortune night have at tended her launch, she seems to have shaken it off. The speed of the Princess Royal on Monday was 10.7, not 4.7, as erroneously printed in the notice of her trial. PLYMOUTH, FRIDAY EVENING. Rear Admiral Berkeley, one of the Lords of the Ad miralty, arrived here last evening, and Sir Baldwin Walker, Surveyor of the Navy, this morning. They are come to expedite the fitting of ships. The Duke of Wellington, 131,Commander H. B. Martin, under charge of Mr. Thompson, Queen's Harbourmaster, left the Sound early this morning. On getting between Millbay-spur and St. Nicholas Island, the weather thick ened ; she was skilfully turned in the Narrows, and went back to the Sound shortly after. The Desperate came down harbour, and the. Duke subsequently went up Hamoaze with all her powder on board, w hi c h was di s . charged in harbonr. To-morrow morning she will be docked at Keyham, and if the defects in her pump gear or in her valves can be remedied in time, she will be undocked in the evening. The orders are for her to be made sound again by Thursday. Admiral Sir Baldwin Walker inspected her to-day. Admiral Berkeley issued orders at 6 p.m. on Thursday to prepare the screw steam-ship Desperate, 8, Captain W. Chambers, for sea, and at that time her decks were lumbered, topgallant masts on deck, and sails unbent. Every man had leave until 4 this morning, but by the activity of the First-Lieutenant V. Johnson and a wil ling crew, topgallant masts were got t ip, t o p ga ll an t yars crossed, and sails bent by half-past 7,, and steam being got up in the meantime she shortly after went into the Sound. At 11 o'clock she sailed for Carrick fergus and Dublin to bring men for the squadron. The crew of the Royal George, 121, Captain Codring ton, were paid their wages to day, and she is ordered to sail for Spithead to-morrow. The Rhadarnanthus ar rived yesterday , with machinery from Woolwich, and the Nautilus, today with supernumeraries from Fal mouth. Commodore H. B. Martin will probably remove his flag t•-day from the Duke of Wellington to the Nile. Commodore Seymour gave up command of the dock yard to-day, and it is expected he will hoist his broad pendant on board the Duke to-morrow. In consequence of the embarkation of the 93d High landers, the dockyard military guard has been reduced from 55 to 43. The equipment of the troop-ship . Belleisle, 24, as hos pital ship for the Baltic, has occupied the especial atten tion of Admiral Berkeley this forenoon. He went through her, accompanied by Sir B. Walker, Commo dore Seymour, Captain Singcombe, &c. Doctor Alex ander Maecknie, junior surgeon of Haslar Hospital, appointed inspector of hospitals on board the Belleisle, will have under him two surgeons, three assistant sur geons, and one surgeon's clerk. All the lower deck of the Belleisle will be used as an hospital. The first batta• lion of the Ist Royals is expected to arrive here by rail at 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, from Newport. LIVERPOOL, MARCH 3. Recruiting for the navy progresses rapidly, volunteers freely offering themselves. Yesterday evening a num ber of men, including some from Ireland and the Isle of Man, were forwarded by the mail train, and will be sent on board the Governmeu ship Crocodile, whence they will be dratighted on board vessels at Portsmouth, Ply mouth, and elsewhere, in accordance with Admiralty in structions. An order has been received at Liverpool stating that several vessels of from 650 to 850 tons bur den are immediately repired as transports, and that they would be engaged for three or four months positively, and might be required for a longer period. Owners of vessels of this class have sent in tenders, and it is under stood that several have been accepted. The 77th regi ment, which has arrived at Preston from Glasgow, will be embatked at this port on board the screw-steamer Kangaroo, which is expected here by every tide. On her arrival she will go into the Sandon Dock, and the embarkation will take place in the course of a few days. PEMBROKE, MARCH 3. The Ist Regiment of Foot, now doing duty in South Wales, having received orders to hold themselves in readiness to join the second division of the British army for Turkey, the four companies now at the barracks here will be relieved by the same number of the 85th Foot, which corps will to a certain extent replace the let Foot. The head-quarters of the 85th are at,present at Bristol. Lieutenant-Colonel Crawley, R.E., has assumed the direction of the engineering department in connexion with the defences now in course of progress for the better protection of the haven. Re succeeded Lieu tenant-Colonel Victor, who has proceeded to Constanti nople on particular service. The volunteering for the navy has been. very successful in this neighbourhood, upwards of 65 able-bodied fellows having been sent round to.rlymouth as the last batch. The fort at the western side of the dockyard has been mounted with the guns sent for its armament. The pieces of ordnance will be 24 in number, about half of which will be 10 and 8-inch guns, which have been mounted on traversing carriages. This battery was formerly suppfied with 24-pounders, but last summer the whole was altered to receive the present armament— viz., 32's and 68's, which have been mounted by the small detachment of the Royal Artillery statfoned here. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The following notice has been issued at the Admiralty for the information of officers : "Admiralty, March 3. "Under present circumstances Sir J. Graham regrets that he is unable to name any day for the public recep tion of officers." Rear-Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort, K.C.8., retires from the hydrographic and harbour department at the end of the present month, and will then be succeeded by Captain John Washington. APPOINTMENTS.

COMMITTEE OF COMPLAINT OF BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. This committee stood adjourned to yesterday at no4m, but, in consequence of difficulty in forming a quorum of members, the proceedings did not commence till two o'clock. Mr. E. B. Roche, M.P., for Cork county, addressing the chairman, said, that he and Mr. D. O'Connell con sidered that certain statements made by Dr. Gray at the last sitting of the committee contained an imputation upon their characters as gentlemen and members of Parliament, and that they had taken the earliest opportunity of attend ing the committee to ask them immediately to go into an investigation of their case. Mr. F. Lucas, M.P. for Meath, was then called as a witness.—He said he did not think the course taken by the committee was a perfectly fair one. When Dr. Gray men tioned his (Mr. Lucas') name he was pressed by the com mittee to mention everything ho had ever heard from any body's mouth ; and ho had, therefore, no alternative be tween either being guilty of contempt against the com mittee, or mentioning the merest rumours. His (Mr. Lucas') name had been, therefore, connected with rumours which he had never the slightest notion would be brought before the committee, and which he had made up his mind not to bring before them. With regard to the case of Mr. E. B. Roche, a paragraph had appeared in some of the papers,—in the Standard, he believed, and in the Cork Constitution, relative to the appointment of Mr. Nagle to some law office in Ireland, obtained through his (Mr. Roche's) influence. That paragraph naturally gave rise to a good deal of talk ; but he had no accusation to bring against Mr. Roche, nor did he know of a ny thi ng t en di ng to implicate him stronger than what that paragraph con tained. Up to the time that he (Mr. Lucas) made some observations in the House of Commons, he had heard of no case in which the name of any member of the present Parliament had been mentioned, even in rumour. Had he known anything stronger than rumour, anything positive, he would not have left the case to this or any committee; he would have brought the proofs under the notice of the Solicitor or Attorney General for Ireland, in order that the parties might be prosecuted as for a misdemeanour. Mr. Keogh—Did you mention any names to Dr. Gray ? Mr. Lucas—l think I recollect mentioning the names of Mr. Roche and Mr. O'Connell. Mr. Keogh—Did you state to Dr. Gray that either Mr. Roche or Mr. O'Connell had been positively engaged in selling places ? Mr. Lucas—l stated the rumour I had heard. I stated nothing positively as a fact. Mr. Keogh—Give the committee the exact words you used? Mr. Lucas—l am unable to do so ; and, though I could, I should not, for I could not help mentioning names that, with the greatest possible respect to this committee, I have no intention to mention. I have made up my mind not to communicate any further information upon a case which in my opinion ought never to have been mentioned in this committee, and I therefore respectfully decline to answer any questions which might lead to the result I am deter mined to avoid. Mr. Keogh—Are you the proprietor of the Tablet news paper? Mr. Lucas—l am. Mr. Keogh.—There appears in that journal, under date the 11th of February, an article entitled " Sale of Govern ment Places by Irish members," which says—" As it is apprehended that the Government and their Irish sup porters will make some desperate attempt to hush up and hurry over the parliamentary investigation into the scan dalous system of place-selling, the assistance of every one who can throw any light on such proceedings is wanted. AU those who think they can be of service in this way are earnestly pressed to communicate at once with some Irish member in whom entire confidence is placed." Did you write that article ? Mr. Lucas.—l did not, but lam ready to take the re sponsibility of it. Mr. Keogh.—And do you consider that you are carrying out the recommendation contained in that article in now refusing to communicate to the committee the information they demandof you? Mr. Lucas.—l do not think my conduct is at variance with it. I never intended Dr. Gray to mention the names of Mr. Roche and Mr. O'Connell to the committee. Mr. Keogh.—The statements you made to Dr. Gray were made to him in the lobby, while the room was clear on the last day of the sitting? Mr. Lucas. -L-They were. Mr. Keogh—Then, being a member of Parliament, and so privileged to be present in the room, what reason had you for going and communicating in the lobby with Dr. Gray, at that time a witness under examination ? Mr. Lucas—l can give no reason. It was an indiscre tion on my part, that is all ; but I thought at the time that Dr. Gray's examination was concluded. Mr. Keogh—Do you withdraw any charge against Messrs. 'Roche and O'Connell ? Mr. Lucas—l have made no charge. Mr. Keogh—Have you then, the slightest foundation for making any charge against either of them ? Mr. Lucas—l say I have made no charge. After the room had been cleared, the Chairman commtr. floated to Mr. Lucas the order that was received by Dr. Gray—namely, to reappear again on Monday next, and to be then prepared to communicate to the committee the names of parties from whom he had heard, and with whom he had discussed, rumours of corrupt practices going on among Irish members. Mr. E. B. Roche said that he should like to know from the committee when they intended to examine him, as he had received an urgent call to Ireland. The Chairman replied that, so far as the committee were concerned, there was nothing to prevent him going to Ire land at once. There was really no chirge against him, and they saw no reason for examining him at all. In reply to a similar question, a similar reply was made to Mr. Daniel O'Connell, M.P. for Tralee. The next witness was Mr. Richard D. Kane, solicitor, at Dublin, who said, he recollected investing 4001. for Mr. Howley, in 1840. His recollection was not distinct, and he could not charge his memory with having negotiated a loan to Mr. Curtis. He was not altogether satisfied with the security offered by Mr. Somers. His dislike to the in vestment was not entirely owing to the nature of the se curity, but he let Mr. Somers have the money, for Mr. Howley took the responsibility of it entirely on his own shoulders. (The witness's recollection as to the circum stances attending the origin of the transaction not being at all clear, he was desired to consult his books in the meantime, and appear before the committee on a future day.) It was then proposed to adjourned to Monday, but it was ultimately agreed that the committee should meet again on Tuesday next, at 1 o'clock. THE FACTORIES ACT. DEPUTATION TO LORD PALMERSTON. Yesterday evening a general deputation from the cotton, woollen, worsted, silk, and linen trades waited on Lord Palmerston, her Majesty's Secreta of State for the Home -Eepartment, at the Home-office, t hall , in referlirs to a circular letter lately issued to then by the inspbctt, of factories, commanding them to boat in all the shaftidg and mill gear of their factories, so as to guard against the recurrence of accidents. • The- deputation was attended by delegates from &cup, Blackburn, Belfast, Bradford (Yorkshire), Burnley, Car lisle, Colne, Leeds, Tees, Saddleworth, Leicester, Preston, Wigan, Wilsden near Bingley, Halshaumoor, Bury (Lan cashire), Cleckheaton, Gomersal, Bolton-le-Moors, Chorley, Staleybridge, Hyde, Manchester, Kendal, Keswick, Clithe roe, Stockport, Halifax, Lancaster, Todmorden, Accring ton, Huddersfield, Rochdale, Oldham, Ashton, Lisburne, Newry, Deighley, Glasgow, Dewsbury, Hawick - , Gala shiels, and Macclesfield. These were accompanied by several members of the House of Commons. Lord Palmerston, in reply to the deputation, after de tailing the instructions which he had given to the in spectors, proceeded to say that at times like the present, when, he regretted, the best feelings did not exist be tween the employers and the employed, he thought that the former should be anxious to show to the latter that they had a lively interest in their welfare aad safety. The question he had to consider was one of detail, first, as to the amount of accidents, and next, as to the degree to which precautions could be taken to guard against them without involving expense, trouble, and interference beyond the necessity of the case. If they took place either from want of caution on the part of the workpeople themselves, or by reason of children undertaking duties for which they were too young, or from persons going through the works in dresses not suited to the place, it might be that the millowners themselves might, by certain regulations, obviate the danger ; but if, on the other hand, those distressing acci dents flowed from an unguarded state of machinery, it was clearly the duty of Government to step in and insist on an alteration. They had, however, he thought, shown suffi cient cause for a reconsideration of the order, and in the mean time he should give instructions that the order should be enforced. The deputation, having thanked his lordship, then withdrew. TEE ADMIRALTY PILOTS. The following memorial has been addressed to the Lords of the Adniiralty from the gentlemen appointed to act as pilots to the Baltic fleet ; it is to be observed that they are Younger Brethren of the Trinity-house, Hull : " Hull, Feb. 18, 18.54. " My Lords,—We, the Younger Brethren of the Trinity house, at this place, selected to form part of the expedition in H.M. steamer Redd, appointed to survey the : passages, harbours, &c., die., in the North Sea and the Baltic, beg most respectfully to complain to your Lordships of the want of berthing accommodation on board that vessel. Some among us are shipowners and retired from the sea, and the remainder are masters in the merchant service, and we all are accustomed to the comforts of a respectable home or cabins while afloat. Before we accepted the appointment in the Heels, which in volved great sacrifices and pecuniary losses on the part of several of our number, we were assured that our position would be respected, and proper berths in the after cabins al lotted to our use. Your lordships may therefore imagine our astonishment and disgust when we were informed that ham mocks were slung in the cockpit for our reception. Such, my lords, is the accommodation provided, in her Majesty's service, for gentlemen about to be employed on an arduous duty requiring considerable knowledge and skill. We cannot for.a, moment suppose that your lordships are aware of the degradation thus imposed on us (and desire to acknowledge with thanks your lordships' order that we are to mess with the officers), neither do we attach any blame to those gentle men' from whom we have received the greatest kindness, and who have no better berths to offer us ; but we humbly submit that the Hecla is unsuitable for the purposes intended, both in this and other respects, and we entertain no doubt that if a steam-ship of a superior class had been despatched, we could tiavto-inrilinod a rerianlNir of ahlo aanraan from this port .to accompany us as volunteers for H. M. navy. In conclusion, we beg to state that nothing but a solemn sense of the duty we owe to our country at the present crisis, to which British sailors will at all times cheerfully respond, if properly treated, would have induced us to embark on board the Hecla. We are aware that this appeal will come too late to admit of a re medy being provided on the present occasion, but we would respectfully urge your lordships' attention, should our ser vices be required hereafter, that orders be issued to provide suitable berths for us among the commissioned officers on board H.M. ships, and that the indignity of huddling us in the cockpit with the men before the mast be not again prac tised upon the Younger Brethren of the Trinity-house of this port.—We have the honour to be your lordships' very obe dient servants."—Shipping Gazette. RAILWAY PASSENGERS ASSURANCE COMPANY. The ninth half-yearly meeting of the proprietors in this company was held yesterday at the offices of the company, 3, Old Broad-street, City, Sir John Deal Paul, Bart., in the chair. From the report it appears that the following is a com parative statement of the number of tickets issued during the half-year ending 31st December last, with the same period in the preceding year :—Single journey tickets, first class, 1852, 23,424 ; 1853, 29,754. Second class, 1852, 49,683; 1853, 55,548. Third class, 1852, 72,342; 1853, 75,229. Double journey tickets, first class, 1852, 2,977 ; 1853, 4,877. Second class, 1852, 5,431; 1853, 9,514. Third class, 1852, 12,299; 1853, 15,665. Periodical tickets, 1152, 2,715 ; 1853, 2,910. Policies for terms of years, 1852, 47 ; 1853, 32. For life by one payment, 1852, 44 ; 1853, 34. For life by annual payments on a decreasing scale, 1852, 173. 1853, New policies, 216 ; renewals, 126. Total, 342. The total amount of the premiums on the insurances effected during the half-year is 4,9251. 14s. 3d., which, added to the receipts of the previous six months, makes the total income of the year 1853, 11,9001.155. Bd., against 7,4221. 12s. 6d. for 1852. The amount received to the 31st December was 4,0171. ss. making, with the balance of the preceding half-year, and the interest on investments, the sum of 6,2751. ls. 7d. to the credit of revenue account. Against this are placed the working expenses, the Government duty, the amount paid as compen sation, and a second payment of 1501. towards the replace ment of preliminary expenses, leaving 2,7631. 7s. Bd., to the credit of the revenue account. A further investment of 6001. in the 31 per cent. Consols has been made as a reserve on ac count of sums received for term and life policies, making the total balance invested for that purpose 1,6001. In addition to the amount in hand and invested, the sum of 9081.95. ld. was due from the clearing house and agents, which increases the available balance to 3,6711. 16s. 9d., from which the direc tors recommend that interest for the half-year on the paid up capital of the company, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, froo of income-tas, should bo paid, and the, re mainder, after defraying the charges for Government duty and commission unpaid at the close of the year, should be reserved to meet claims and contingencies on existing pe riodical tickets. The sam paid as compensation shows a considerable decrease on that paid in previous half-years. The number of claims have been more numerous than usual, but the injuries were generally less serious. The number of claims settled during the half-year has been 34, in respect of which 5511. Bs. 3d. has been paid, against 19 claims on which 1,9011. 13s. 7d. was paid in the preceding half-year. Two claims remain unadjusted from the nature of the inju ries received. The total amount of the compensation paid by the company since the opening of the office now amounts to the large sum of 11,8751. 55. 7d., and affords the best proof of the utility of the company. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the adoption of th e report, said he might confidently address the proprietors langutoletho, congratulation at the close of the most prosperous year existence of the institution, the practical utility of which was now widely established, in proportion a s its advantages were more fully known and appreciated b y the travelling public. At the terrible accident which ha d i h a ppened in Ireland only one gentleman was insured, and it was remarkable that he was seated in the same carriage with the ladies who had b een killed. He had, however , escaped, and received as compen sation 251. At the accident at Thetford also only one of the passengers was insured, a commercial traveller, who had taken out an insurance ticket. Both of this gentleman's legs were fractured; but he was happy in being aisle to state that, in spite of these severe injuries, he was progressing favour ably. H e was happy also to say that, at the request of a large majority , of influential travellers by the line, the Brighton Railway Company had at length consented to issue this com pany's tickets. He trusted that the South-Eastern Company, which was the single existing exception, would also allow the travellers on their line to avail themselves of the benefits of this assurance. After a short discussion the report was adopted, and the proceedings terminated. CIISTOMS.—The change in the hour of attendance of the officers of the landing and waterside departments of the Customs generally took place on the Ist inst. From this time until the Ist of November the hour of com mencing business will be eight instead of nine o'clock, as during the winter months. As the hours of attend. ance at the Customs regulate the transaction of business at the great dock establishments and the waterside generally, the extension of time will take place at those marts of commerce for the receipt and delivery of all de scriptions of foreign goods from the bonded premises in the port of London. GOVERNMENT Ergaitancil.—Her Majesty's Emigra tion Commissioners have given notice that they are ready to receive tenders for the supply of two ships to carry emigrants to New South Wales and Victoria, to be ready to embark pawners on the 18th of April next. Governor Beacroft had been up the river Bonny to settle a "palaver " wth the natives, and took the King with him to Fernando Po. The Affairs of Lagos are settled by Admiral Bruce. Xosoko has accept!cl terms, and has promised not to molest or in any way to interrupt canoes laden with oil on their passage down the river. An immense trade is now expected with Lagos. Major Hill, the newly appointed Governor of Cmper Coast Castle, went out in the Faith ; but hearing on his arrival that there were disturbances at Accra, he pro ceeded on in her. This place belonged to the Dan -.0, and it is what are termed the Danish-Accra people who• have rebelled. The last accounts state that Governor Hill has despatched the Adjutant and Commissary to Cape Coast for two mountain howitzers, some rockets, guns, &c. Several tribes of friendly allies were ready to assist the Gold Coast Corps at Christianberg Fort, where the rebels some time since tore down the British flag in consequence of the poll-tax. Accra is almost deserted by the native merchants, being under martial law. About the Ist of February the Ashantee messengers and the British envoy returned to Cape Coast Castle from Ashantee, having finally set tled the terms of peace agreed to on the conclusion of the war last year. Governor O'Connor returned on the 20th of January to Bathurst, from an expedition up the Gambia, in the steamer Dover, on board which he received the African chiefs located on both banks. A survey wade of the upper branch of the river, which, if correct, will greatly diminish the difficulty of penetrating into this part of Africa. The African Steam Navigation Company's charter mail-packet Waterwitch, which left Plymouth Jan. 26, was at Bathurst o n the 14th of February. Her Ma jesty's paddle-wheel steam-ship Penelope, 16, flag of Admiral Bruce, was at anchor at Fernando Po. She ,v.44l4.,,,expected to sail for Sierra Leone. The Ad lied Is wining home shortly. The Antelope, Lieu tenant Commander C. H. Young, was engaged buoying the River Bonny., The Pluto, -Lieutenant-Colonel Bedingfield, was at Lagos. Her b oa t s were up the river, settling with KosokO. The Polyphemus, 5, Commander C. G. Fillings, was at Quitta when the Faith passed. The Plumper 9, Commander K. A. L. Wharton, waN at Accra, waiting to assist Governor Hill. The Dolphin, 3, Lieutenant Commander E. Wader, was at Sierra Leone. The Racehorse, 14, Commander E. K. Barnard, was at Madeira roads, bound to China.

THE BELGIAN GIRL'S CASE. Mr. Simonds, an inspector of the B division, accom panied by Clara Leroy, the unfortunate Belgian girl, whose case has excited so much sensation in the public mind, waited upon Mr. Arnold on her 'behalf, at the Westminster Police -court yesterday. The Inspector said that his application was for a war rant to procure the restoration of the girl's clothing, the house in Denbigh.terrace, to which she had been brought from .Brussels by Fiestel„ alias Harrison. It will be remembered that on the oc casion of her escape, on the morning of the 17th she had nothing on her but a woollen dress, and was in debted to the kindness of strangers for the clothes in which she had subsequently appeared. Mr. Arnold observed that be should have no hesita- tion in granting a summons to compel their restoration, Mr. Simonds begged to inform the magistrate of the result of some further inquiries respecting the case. He found that Fiestel's mother had kept a house for the re ception of girls for infamous purposes at, he believed, 192,Waterloo-road, where Elizabeth Grimwood had pre viously been murdered. Fiestel's father had left his wife in consequence of her disgraceful conduct. Mr. Arnold inquired what sort of house it was in Den bigh-terrace to which the girl had been brought ? Mr. Simonds observed that it was a very fine house, magnificently furnished. He knew a gentleman who had offered 1,0001. for the house, and, no doubt, would have had it, but that the M. Denis, who professed to be un extensive wine merchant, became the occupant. Mr. Arnold inquired whether Mr. Simonds was aware of the circumstance of its being a brothel before the pre sent case was brought forward ? Mr. Simonds replied that he was not, and the business was conducted so privately that many of the neighbours did not, although they suspected it was. He had felt it his duty to make inquiries respecting 116, Tachbrook street, where Fiestel alias Harrison resided, and found it was a highly respectable house, and that there was not the least imputation upon the character of the land lord. Fiestel's mother had taken the apartments for herself, and, as she represented, a son, a mathematical instrument-maker, and referred the landlord to a builder in the Vauxhall-bridge-road, who gave her an excellent character. Since the examination of Fiestel, itinerant newsmongers had been selling halfpenny and penny ac counts of the transaction opposite the house, pointing to it, and of course causing great annoyance to the respect able inmates. Mr. Arnold said that the police would of course in d terfere to prevent anything of that sort being carried on. Mr. Fenwick observed that it would of course meet with proper attention. _ The girl, who appears less dejected than before, then left in care of the police. Madame Denis's name is stated to be "Laura La• boucher." ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, MARCH 3. Wiliam, Naylor, Milian Brand, William Shorter, Henry Townsend, and William Patsy, were indicted for attempting to rescue Mr. William Seymour Blackstone, late M.P. for Walling ford, fro m the hands of the bailiff of the sheriff of Oxfordshire, on the 27th of January, and for an assault upon the bailiff. -- The prosecution was instituted by the late high sheriff of Oxfordshire for the purpose of protecting one of his officers, who was appointed for the purpose of executing a writ against Mr. Blackstone, from interference on the part of the defendants with that officer in the execution of his duty. The circumstances of the case were these :—Mr. Blackstone was a gentleman who formerly represented Wallingford in Parliament ; he got into difficulties, and when he ceased to be a member of Parliament he ceased to have protection from arrest by law ; but though there were many write in the hands of the sheriffs of Oxfordshire and Berkshire against him, it was difficult to enforce them, as he was very popular, and a great favourite in the town which he had represented; and he seemed to treat, not exactly with defiance, but with impunity all attempts to take him into custody. His sister lived at Howberry Man sion, a lofty place, commanding a view of the surround ing country, and close to, the Thames, where it sepa rates the counties of Oxford and Berkshire, and he had. ' a punt on the river by which he was enabled to go to either side of the river, as he saw the officers of the other side in pursuit of him. He also provided himself with three dogs of a most formidable character, and by these means enjoyed for a long time freedom from arrest. At length the sheriff of Oxfordshire determined to put an end to this system, and a writ for 14 mi/. having come down, he put a warrant into the hands of a man named Turner, who met with him near his sis ter's house. On perceiving him Mr. Blackstone ran away, but was overtaken and served with a writ. 31r ' Blackstone asked Turner to let him go back to iris house for a change of clothes ; but this Turner, who 1 1 got special directions not to suffer him to escape , wo u ' not allow. He was then taken into a barn, where he. sent a message to his solicitor to visit him. In the meantime the defendants appeared with sticks, shovels, and dung forks, and assumed a menacing attitude. A fly was then brought to convey Mr. Blackstone away, upon which a struggle ensued ; bit the officers, notwithstanding considerable resistance, succeeded in forcing him into it, and driving him off to Oxford. After evidence had been adduced in proof of the above facts, the defendants, by the advice of their counsel, withdrew the plea of not guilty, and pleaded guilty, and they were discharged on entering into their 6 recognisances to keep the peace for two years. ~,.
