The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap pointed Wednesday next for a special settling-day in the shares of the Union Bank of Liverpool, and Thursday for the Bonds of the Italian Irrigation Canals Company (Canal Cavour), dealings in both of which are to be officially recorded. The following resolution has been passed by the Committee of the Stock Exchange : "The Committee for General Purposes having reason to believe that attempts have been made to introduce com panies calculated to injure the character of the Stock Ex change and the interests of the public, do hereby caution brokers against giving the sanction of their names to the bringing out of any c om p an y w ithout first making full inquiry as to the bona fides of its objects, and the character of the promoters, directors, concessionaries, and other parties connected with it; and the committee further give notice that should it be proved to them that any member of the Stock Exchange should have introduced or dealt in the shares of any company brought out tor improper purposes, being at the same time cognisant of or assisting in such pur poses, the committee will such penalty as the nature of the case may demand " At the twenty-ninth half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of the Commercial Banking Company of Sydney, held at Sydney on the 29th January last, the directors declared a dividend at the rate of 15 per cent, per annum, and increased the re serve fund by £2,000, making it £68,000 ; this dis tribution left £3,335 of undivided profits to be car ried forward to the next account. The recent establishment of branches in the colony of Queens land rendered some alterations in the deed of settle ment necessary, and these were unanimously voted by the shareholders. The twentieth half-yearly meeting of the Bank of Victoria (Australia) was held at Melbourne on the 3d February last. The directors' report, which was unanimously adopted, gave the net profits for the six months, after making fall provision for bad and doubtful debts, at £31,839 10s. 6d. From this time £25,000 was appropriated to the payment of a dividend at 10 per cent., £2,500 was added to the reserve fund, and £2,500 to the reduction of bank premises account, leaving £1,839 10s. 6d. to be carried forward. About £17,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. The supply of bar silver by the Tasmanian have been sold at 6s. id. per ounce, showing a decline of id. During the last few d , iys there has been a more active business in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Markets. Tea, owing to the demand for ex port, has sustained full rates. Sugars, coffee, and rice have been in fair r€quest, while a slight ad vance has taken place in the value of saltpetre. The Tal.ow Market, however, has been dull, and quotations have slightly receded for both present and forward delivery. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Mr. neuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 701. 30c. At the half -yearly meeting to-day of the Recife and San Francisco (Pernambuco) Railway Com pany, the report stated that the entire line had been opened far traffic. The company have, therefore, become entitled to the full amount of interest gua ranted by the Imperial Government on the original capital of .£1,200,000, viz., £84,000 per annum. The Great D..von and Bedford (Colcharton) Copper Mining Company held its second general meeting to-day, when it was resolved that the share list be closed on the 21st inst., that the allotments be hereafter made pro rata amongst the shareholders only, and that Captain Richards be empowered to commence operations at the mine on the 21st inst. The receipts on the Datch Rhenish „Railway for the fortnight ending Marcia 31, 1863, amounted to £8,258 3s. 10d., and for the corresponding period of last year to £7,356 7s. Bd., showing an increase of £9Ol 16s. 2d. in favour of the present year. An improvement of g per cent. took place yester day afternoon in the market for the English Funds, and the few transactions that have taken place to day have not produced any alteration, Consols re maining at 921 t for transfer, and at 926 for ac count.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The prospect of an early reduction in the mini mum rate of interest and discount is now discussed in monetary and commercial circles. The con tinuous flow of gold into the Bank of England, the large available supplies of floating capita!, and the moderate requirements for trade and other pur poses, have led to competition in discount circles, and bills may now be negotiated as low as 31 per cent. Under these circumstances, it is thought that the antnorities, in order to compete with the open market, will soon announce a reduction in their official terms. SHARE MARKETS--This day.

A correspondent of the Gcasgow lierald furnishes the following :—" In one of the dwelling-houses close to the works a woman was sitting nursing her child, when a piece of iron pipe descended through the roof and fell at her feet. A man in the works, n hearing the report of the explosion, crept below a wheel b,rrow, which protected him amidst the shower of bricks. Another m in, on whom the end of a boiler fell, was, on its removal, found to have sustained no injury ; the egg-shape of the boiler had saved him. The night watchman, in his sentry-box, was literally surrounded by bricks and other debris; the roof was smashed in, and the windows also,yet the old fellow escaped with a few bruises. Many of the workmen found shelter under the rolls. Up to this time in France the regulation of having compartments exclusively reserved for females in Ist and 2d class carriages has been optional for the com panies. The Minister of Public Works has now made such reserved compartments obligatory, so that any female travelling alone, and having a let or 2d class ticket, may demand to be placed with Ouly persons of her own, sex, Bir., Wol., and Str.

TATTERSALL'S-LAST EVENING. There was a very full attendance this afternoon, chiefly attracted by the settling, as it would appear, for the opera tion of parting and receiving having been gone through, the room and lawn were considerably thinned. Betting was desultory, and except the support awarded to one or two ani mals there was no feature of the afternoon's proceedings calling for especial comment. For 'he City and Suburban Adventurer was in demand, and was backed for good money at 7tol, at which price he left off firm. Argonaut, after being invested on at 100 to 8 several times, found friends who took 100 to 10 kindly, and at the close 8 to 1 was the highest offer ; 1,000 to 80 wr s taken in one bet about Gardener, who was in very good odour; and after his name had been written down at the like odds to smaller amounts, layers did not feel inclined to go on. The re maining quotations on the same event will speak for themselves. A few investments were made on the Metropolitan, for which Bedouin stood his ground irmly at 6to 1 (taken). The Two Thousand was notieeable for the increased firmness of the favourite, about whom 6 to 4 was the highest offer, and so sweet were intending backers upon the French horse that shortly before the lawn was cleared 7 to 4 would have been taken, but layers would not " spring" the fractional difference. Saccharometer had some warm friends, who took as shoat a price as 4to 1, but the outlay was by no means heavy, and the same odds could have been obtained for asking; 10 to 1 each was taken about Maccaroni and Blue Mantle, and 12 to 1 to a "pony" about Rapid Rhone. Brick, who broke down badly on Saturday morning, was not mentioned. With the exception of four "fifties" taken about Stradella, speculation on the Chester Cup was a dead letter. But while there were p enty of offers to take 2 to 1 that the mare did not run backers were shy, and the layers of odds were ready to go on at the price quoted above. Lord Clifden's position in the Derby was considered somewhat unstealy, as after seven "fifties" had been booked about him Ho'podar trod upon his heels at half a point more, seven and a hall fifties having been taken about the Frenchman; 11 to 1 was taken about Saccharo meter, and National Guard and Carnival were backed re spectively at 16 to 1 and 100 to 6. 25 to 1 was offered each agst the Glenochty colt, Automaton, and Blue Mantle, and after 45 " ponies" had been booked about Ranger 40 to 1 was accepted. A few outsiders were backed at the prices quoted below. In the course of the afternoon it was an nounced that Polynesia and the Jaqueline colt were scratched for the city and Suburban and Metropolitan ; all Mr. G. Bryan's horses for their spring engagements, and Cachuca for the One Thousand Uuineas. Brick was struck out of the Two Thousand at 4.10, April 11. Towards the close of the room Mr. H. Dorling's clerk, who attended ac cording to notice for the sale of tickets for the " inner ring" at Epsom, made the gratifying announcement that the number then sold amounted to 130. The following are the closing prices : CITY AND SUBURBAN. 7to 1 agst Mr J. Gilby's Adventurer, 4 yrs, sst 121 b (t) 9to 1 agst Sir J.

Betting-6 to 4 agst Longford, 4to 1 each agst Nabob and Tupsley, and 5 to 1 agst Glen Area. As soon as they got upon their legs the running was taken up by My Mary, who, with Nutcracker, Glen Aros, and Yellow Dwarf, appeared some two or three lengths in advance of their followers, to the flight of hurdles in front of the stand, which they all got over safely. On reaching the thorn fence beyond Glen Aros, who appeared to run unkindly, refused and fell, leaving his rider on his back on the top of the fence, but who was soon after remounted, and following his horses; but, blun dering at the next obstruction, he was walked back to the enclosure. The leading horses passed over the small en closed garden-grounds in close company, but in gong up the barrack hill to the turning flag My Mary increased her ad vantage, and approached the water course (or drain) in the hollow some lengths in flout of Tupsle3. Major Wombwell breaking his stirrup leather on landing, both mare and rider came to the ground , but she was speedily remounted and following in the wake of Nabob. Then came Glen Aros, who refused and ran round, which caused Nutcracker, who was following at his heels, to blunder at it, and fall ing on his head, rolled over and broke his neck, his rider fortunately escaping without injury. The favourite and Yellow Dwarf, who appeared outpaced, brought up the rear, and got well over, but a long way in the rear of the leaders. Passing in the rear of the stand, the race was left with Tupsley, who held a long lead, which he kept to the water jump, which he cleared half a dozen lengths in ad vance of Nabob, whose rider, thinking they finished, came with a rush and reached Tupaley's quarters, but being called to he immediately set his horse going again, and fol lowed in the rear of the two leaders to the fence in the rear of the barn, where she was done with, leaving the race with Tupsley and Nabob, the latter waiting upon the leader un til they crossed the water jump, when he went up in a stride or two after landing and won an excellent race by two lengths. My Mary and Longford were pulled up descend ing the hill brook, and walked home. The others were stopped a long way from the stand. Match, 100 soya.

King Tom made play with The Hero, Yaller Gal, and The Dane in close attendance ; the others, headed by De ceiver, bringing up the rear, in which position they remained until they passed in the rear of the stand, when Deceiver ran past his horses and joined King Tom, fo!lowed by The Dane, Yaller Gal, and The He ro, in which posi ion they cleared the brook, with the exception of the latter, who could not be got over, Light Of Other Days and Brownie bringng up the rear. As they proceeded over the Barrack hill, the leading horses got upon closer terms, King Tom holding a slight lead, with Deceiver going on second, Yeller Gal third, with Light of Other Days lying up, the others dropping a long way astern. On passing the houses in Os born-road, Johnny ran into the front rank, and for a few strides raced with King Tom, who shortly after gave way to Deceiver, who came on with Light of Other Days and Yeller Gal in close company, the three taking their fences in clever style, to the lower fence behind the stand, which Yeller Gal cleared slightly in advance of her followers and came down to the brook apparently full of running, Light of Other Days following, with Land's horse at his girths, and Xing Tout in their rear, They all got eafely over and tinkled On the flag being lowered Xanthus jumped round, and was left at the post ; Kitty Skittles, in company with Quick silver, were the first away, followed by Gladiator, Alroy, Orkousta, and Mary Stuart in the order we have given them. On reaching the first fence Quicksilver ran round, which drove Kitty Skittles on to the favourite, who also refused, and subsequently repeated the refusal at every fence to the lane, when Mr, Dixon, finding it useless to persevere, re turned home, leaving Alroy with a strong lead, followed by Orkousta to the watercourse in the barrack-field, which the former got safely over, but Orkousta refused, and had to be put at it a second time, and then followed the leading horse to the lane near the stand, jumping out of which he came to the ground on his side, but without unhorsing his rider, This mishap gave Orkousta a strong lead, which she held to the end, and won in a canter by ten lengths. en exceeding fine race home, Mr. Dixon landing Yaller Gal the winner by a length, three parts of a length between the second and third.

Gautier, is in active rehearsal for the debut of Mlle. douraview, from the Theatre Imperial St. Petersburg, which will take place early next week. A veritable representation extraordinaire took place on Wednesday at the Opera Comique for the benefit of the family of the celebrated composer Rameim, of which the following an istes appeared—Mmes. Grisi, Charton •Demeur, Escudier-Kastner, Marimon, Plessy ; MM. Tamberlik, Obin, Bonnehee, Malversi, Bressant, etc. It will be seen that the Italian and French Operas, the Francis, and the other theatres all pressed forward to aid this work of true charity. The receipts, as might be foreseen, were very considerable. Miss Louisa Barnard's concert, which we announced for the 28th ult. at No. 16, rue Cadet, turned out a decided success. Mendelssohn's "Fileuse," Ravina's "Havaneras," a " Rondo Pastoral" of Pfeiffer, and a quatuor by Beethoven elicited unequivocal applause. Miss Barnard was ably seconded ny the eminent vocalists MM. Lafont and Cabal, and Mdlle. Moreau. It is stated that Mme. Viardot-Garcia proposes to retire from the theat-e, and to settle at Baden. Previous to quit tit,g Paris the great artiste will be heard for the last time at the Lyrique, at a soit ee devoted to the aid of the wounded patriots in the present Polish struggle. Miss Helen Faucit, the English tragedian, whose admi rable talent i yet remembered in Paris with pleasure, is, we learn, at present in town on a visit to the family of one of our most distinguished painters. Miss Carlotta Patti is at present in London, and engaged to sing at a series of concero given by Mr. Gye at Covent garden. Tier sister's reputation has awakened both curiosity and interest to hear this young lady. In the meantime, the Viennese public are kept at fever heat by the fascinations of the syren Adelina, her sister. Revival Meetings—Extraordinary Scene. In the end of last week meetings of this kind took place in Elgin. The first was held at the Morayshire Station— the services being principally conducted by females—a Mrs. Tenant from Banff being at once chief and leader. Daring the prayers (such as they were), a chorus of voices might be heard chanting out—" Oh yes he'll do it," "He'll do it," " Yes, do it Lord," &c. As the services advanced, the ex citement increased ; but the freedom and familiarity of the speakers with " things divine," we do not venture to cha racterise. On the two succeeding evenings, the meetings were held in the Baptist Chapel—granted, we under stand, on the express condition that the pastor (Reverend Mr. Alsolatlaue) should preside—with one view, no doubt, of preserving something like common decenoy, and checking those irregularities in which the leaders seemed to delight, The meetings in the chapel were much the same in character as those at the station waiting-room. Mr. Macfarlane's own address was unex ceptionable, and with some of the prayers offered up no fault could be found. But everything like good sense and proper feeling, and respect for sacred things, were completely overborne by the fiery spirits from the east; and the general proceedings were more like those of bed laniites than of rational men and women. 4, Revival hyms" of all possible variety were sung, and to all possible airs—including those of " Wnen the kye comes hame," " The bold sol dier boy," " The captain with his whiskers, " The second Alice Waltz," &c.—all excellent airs in their way, but rather out of place in what professed to be religious worship. And as if to make the irreverence more conspi cuous, while those within were singing what they called hymns, some young men o ut s ide were chiming in with the words of the songs to which the airs are generally sung Mrs. Tenant—the Banff lady— and a young man from th e east, were particularly conspicuous in the servicee—one or both praying with great vehemence for the unconverted ministers of Elgin, and giving the Almighty thanks for the conversion of the one minister present. In the course of one of those rodomontades, which she called prayers, Mrs. Tenant exclaimed that she cared not for any man or devil, church, or minister I One young man present was peremptorily ordered " Down on your knees, sir, the devil is in you." There were occasionally a loud clapping of hands; and sometimes one would strike up a hymn while another was engaged iu prayer. At one time a gentleman walked along the passage of the church, clapping his hands, and crying out, " We'v e g ot the victory — we've got the b v e i cytoo beyond y d I" It the is properMattersco control to rol \vseoallfy that th e meetings had got en t i re ly t this style on the t wo even ings.Macfarlane. About twelve o'clock on Friday evening he pronounced the benedic tion, and declared the meeting at an end. No sooner had he done this than a man got up, and declared " that neither man nor devil would put him out of that house." Mr. Macfarlane, however, left--no doubt disgusted with the vulgarity, irreverence, and folly of the proceedings. Matters then got worse than ever. All restraint seemed gone; the excesses had reached a pitch which no descrip tion can convey to the reader. This went on for a short time, when a young man, determined to put a stop to this Babel of confusion, turned off the gas—and thus the scene of disorder was most fittingly brought to a close in dark ness I—Elgin Courier.

He was educated at Eton and at Christ Church, Oxford, where be was first class in classics and second in mathematics in 1828. In 1831 he was called to the bar at the Middle Temple. He was employed on the Commission of Inquiry into the relief of the poor and into the state of the Church of Ireland, 1835, and on the Commission of Inquiry into the affairs of Malta, 1836. On the resignation of his father in 1839, he was ap pointed a Poor-law Commissioner. He entered Parliament. in 1847 as member for Herefordshire, and was Secretary to the Board of Control from November, 1847, to May, 1848 ; when he was appointed Under-Secretary for the Home De partment. In July, 1850, he became one of the Secretaries to the Treasury, which office he held until the resignation of Lord John Russell's Ministry in Feb. 1852. He was an unsuccessful candidate for Herefordshire, at the general elec tion of 1852, and at i'eterborough soon afterwards; but upon the death of his father, in Feb., 1855, he obtained the seat which the late baronet had occupied in Parliament as member for the Radnor burghs. He has published works on The Romance Languages,' ' On the Use and Abuse of Eli deal Terms,' On Local Disturbances and the Irish Church Question,' On the Government of Dependencies,' On the Influence of Authority in Matters of Opinion,' and On Methxls of Observation and Reasoning in Politics.' After the death of Professor Empson he was appointed editor of the Edinburgh Review, which he resigned when he joined the administration of Lord Palmerston. Upon the memo rable resignation of the Chancellorship of the Exchequer by Mr. Gladstone, in February, 1855, Sir G. C. Lewis was appointed to that important office." To this account we have to add that on the for mation of the present Government in May, 1859, Sir George Lewis was appointed to the office of Home Secretary, which office he exchanged in July, 1861, on the resignation of office by Lord Herbert, for the office of War Minister, which he had till his death. THIRD EDITION SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK. DEATH OF SIR G. C. LEWIS. It is with great regret we have to announce the death of Sir George Cornewall Lewis, which was as generally unexpected as it is sad, took place at one o'clock yesterday, at his seat at Harpton, Rad norshire. The event was completely unexpected. The right hon. gentleman, who had not been in very good health during the winter, had left Lon don for the Easter recess. A few days ago he ap pears to have caught a severe cold, to which a chill and a bilious attack succeeded. Although so ill as to be obliged to postpone his intended return to town for the meeting of Parliament yesterday, we believe that no cause of uneasiness presented itself before Sunday, when a change for the worse took place, and early yesterday the result was but too surely apparent. His relatives in town were tele graphed for, but he died hours before they could reach his bedside. We extract from "The Men of the Time" the fol lowing brief biographical sketch of his life : IMPERIAL P.ARLIAZENI HOUSE OF LORDS—This Evening. The Lord Chancellor took his seat at the usual hour. GREECE. The Earl of MALMESBURY gave notice that on Thursday next he would ask a question regarding the Crown of Greece and the disposition of the lonian Islands. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY presented petitions in favour of legalising marriage Ruth a deceased wife's sister. Earl DERBY presented a petition from Liverpool against the sale of intoxicating liquor on Sundays. The noble earl also presented a petition against any alteration in the marriage laws. THIRD RE ADING. The Londonderry Railway (Seaham to Sunderland) bill was read a third time and passed. MUTINY BILL. This bill passed through committee. POST OFFICE SAVINGS BANKS BILL. On the motion of Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY, this bill was read a third time and passed. MARINE MUTINY BILL. This bill passed through committee. AUGMENTATION OF BENEFICES BILL. On the naming of the select committee to which this bill is to be referred, Lord ST. LEO NARDS called attention to several clauses of the measure, and proceeded at some length to show the manner in which the patronage of a num ber of livings had become vested in the Crown, and said he was of opinion that it was absolutely necessary that the assent of the Crown to the proposed alteration should be made known before the bill proceeded further, because no right which was vested in the Crown could be taken away without consent. He thought it advisable that not only the small livings of the Crown should be dealt with, but that all small livings in the patronage of the uiehops and all other bodies should be included in the scheme. The Earl of DERBY doubted very much whether the bill would' operate as beneficially as was intended. He had considerable objections to many parts of the bill, but with respect to the principle of augmenting the income arising from small benefices by the means proposed he greatly approved of it. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.---This Evening. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock, NEW MEMBER—BANDON. _ _ COL BARNARD took the oaths and his seat for Bandon THIRD READINGS.

WRITS PROHIBITION BILL. .. -.- Air. POWELL gave notice that on the second reading of this bill he should move that it be read a second time that day six months. WASTE LANDS (INDIA.) Mr. H. SEYMOUR gave notice that on that day mo n th he should call attention to the waste lands in India. DOCKYARD SERVANTS. Mr. FERRAND gava notice that on Friday next he should ask the noble lord the Secretary for the Admiralty whether the Board intended to give dockyard superinten dents, offi3ers, and other servants an increase of pay, and to restore pensions to the widows of such officers. SEIZING OF THE ALEXANDRA. Lord R. MONTAGU rose to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether her Majesty's Go vernment would lay upon the table of the house, copies of the documents which justified them in seizing the Alex andra at Liverpool. Mr. LAYARD replied that the case of the Alexandra being still under investigation, he should be unable to lay the papers on the table. GREECE. Lord H. LENNOX rose to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs a question respecting the recent election of Prince William of Denmark to the throne of Greece, Mr. LAYARD replied that he was unable at the present moment to give any answer as to the nature of the proceed ings that had been adopted in Greece or in Denmark. Mr. B. COCHRANE desired to learn the present state of the negotiations. Lord H. LENNOX. intimated that he should repeat his question to-morrow. Mr. LAYARD replied that he should not be able to morrow to give a more satisfactory reply, In the present state of the negotiations he was not in a position to give a satisfactory answer. DEATH OF SIR. G. C. LEWIS, BART.-ACTS OF UNIFORMITY AMENDMENT. Mr. BUX EON, according to the notice on the paper, rose to wove, in a committee of the whole house, that leave be given to bring in a bill to amend the Acts of Uniformity. Mr. WA.LPOLE rose, but again resumed his seat. There being gt.noral cries of " Walpole," the hon. member gave way, and the right hon. gentleman proceeded to 801, evideotly labouring under considerable emotion —so touch so indeed as to render him almost inaudible in the gallery —that he was very unwilling to interfere with the motion of his honourable friend ; ever, that he should be able to secure a hoped, how full day so that the subject migbt be propetly discussed. (Hear, hear , ) But an even t had h o use—(hear, hear) — an occurre d that day which had cast a deep glo om over the e vent only announce d that morning, and hardly known to many of the members—h. 3 alluded to the somewhat sudden death of Sir George Cornwall Lewis It was only proper and respectful to the memory of the late Secretary at War, that the house should exhibit its sympathy for his memory, and the sincere regard in which he was held tbye si both sides o f the hou se, by not proceedin g to the of the day. (Rear, hear.) He assured the house he should not have interposed at all had he not felt that be was giving expression to the general feeling (Hear, hear.) A memberoftembr that house more deservedly No m be l ove d did not exis t. late right ably hon. , friend, (Hear, was gifted w ith more excellent qualities than his ' if he might so style him, eshe did ould not have done justice to his feelings or hear .) th e eh li ouse if he at once move that, out of respect to the memory of the late Secretary of State for War, the house they adjourned. (General but subdued cheering.) Lord PALMERSTON (who spoke with some difficulty from the prevalence of a slight cough) said he was sure the house would entirely sympathise with the feel ings that hal induced the right hon. gentleman opposite to make the motion which he had placed in the Speaker's hands. It would be impossible for any man to add to the well deserved tribute which the right hon, gentleman had paid to the memory of the esteemed colleague whom they had lost. He believed, therefore, that he should best con suit the feelings of the House by simply seconding the motion. Mr. DISRAELI characterised the death of Sir G. C. Lewis as a calamity which had befallen the house and the country. (Hear, hear.) The Queen had lost one of her ablest servants, and the house a member who, he was sure, enjoyed in an abundant measure its uni versal regard and esteem. (Loud cheers.) He never knew a man who combined in so eminent a degree so full and perfect a knowledge on all public matters, or who arrived at such sound and thorough convictions in regard to them. (Hear, hear) He was a man remarkably free from passion or prejudice, and brought to bear on all the transactions of life a great organising faculty, and much perseverance and experience to the administratiJn of public affairs. Rising statesmen on either side of the house might well take the late right hon. baronet in his life and labours as a bright example worthy of imitation. (Hear, hear.) He was sure his name would never be mentioned in that house without feelings of deep respect for his memory, and regret for what might be termed his untimely loss. (Hear, hear.) The SPEAKER then put the motion, and it was unani mously agreed to. The house immediately adjourned at a quarter to five o'clock.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO YOUNG FEMALES.—APPLICATION To THR MAGISTRATE,--A respectably attired young woman ap plied to Mr. Tyrwhitt for his advice under the following circumstances : The applicant handed Mr. Tyrwhitt a newspaper with the following advertisement in it :—" Wanted,-20 com petent hands for boot tops, at good wages. Those acquainted with Howe's machine preferred. Also vacan cies for three learners." (An address in Brewer-street, Golden square, was given in the advertisement), and said that she wrote to know the terms, and received an answer to the effect that the terms for a learner were 12s. 6d., and that the advertiser's object was to prepare hands for the many applications she had for them. She then went to the person and paid her 12s. Bd., tut instead of having as she supposed boot tops to learn on or materials furnished, the whole of the work she saw going on with the two or three other females at the place, was some plain needle work, which the females took to the place themselves. Finding how things were going on, she asked for her 12s. 6d. back, when she was told that it would not be given to her, but that she should be transferred to another person, As she considered that the 12s. 6d. had been unfairly ob tained from her, she wished to know what she was to do. Mr. Tyrwhitt told the applicant that he had no power to get the money back for her, and he was afraid that it was a trick too often played on poor females who tried to earn their bread. He, however, had no doubt if the press noticed the matter that it would be attended with a good deal of good, and the applicant had better go to the County Court. The applicant thanked the magistrate and retired, WESTMINSTER. WHOLESALE DISHONESTY BY A GENTLEILMCS COACH.. MAN.—George H.

SIR JAMES URAHAM.—Ttiere was in him, it must be owned, sometimes too much of a haughty end imperious mood, which especially betrayed itself in his demeanour as a Minister. He seemed as thou ph r a s ed wre haunted by a morbid fear of appearing (as be it) " to be hustled into doing anything by the mere pressure that i g P n r e. g cl g o e B , b u i r ea 3 going e i d a f b r e o t r u e s i w s t i e t without," u t , , , " H s o o w l o d n o g y a o a n he e accountbeli e v f e o d r itp, , said a mutual win dows friend standing one day below the bar to a noble lord whom complimented ytnireiver shown . anything like , :s eyes Ano flt:eerd distinguishedon the just look . at him , as he sits there, towards Sir Jam wesh h o a ,m, cl Hh la oe te wh li d c wc o he m yr disrespect. sie of his there w n as th n e ot w hi r n ong the su pp h o o r o i se : r , tv'whhan asked why . so many people hated him, with oergtha throwniilieir.y; i san : . back , in and his h . replied, "He has cocked his hat o bead; and depend upon it, that's a mistake ~,...i r oi g agh, Tort era.' 46 z . ~e o _ not easily got over. ti 'Sir Amos Graham." 66 } 552 i 107 }
