The annual general meeting of this Association was held on Friday, at their rooms, Sussex Chambers, Duke street, St. James's, and was numerously attended.

The ball, however, in spite of the el°tempts which had been made to disparage the Asso a!imt and its objects, by persons who put forth the thitims of oUr own poor in an invidious contrast with __ c !seof the refugees, was nearly - as numerously attended that of . the previous year.

T E'SIJ N, Li " UND ON,t.7r' MON DAY - MORNI M AZt 6, 1844: 7 SOUTHWARK LITERARY INSTITUTION. • (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Mr. T. S. Illackwell delivered his first lecture on Mesmerism dee smerised, or an exhibition of the pre tended phenomeni of mesmerism, without the presence el . ..aid-of mesmeric influence, on Thursday. His experi ments, illustrating the mesmeric phenomena of attr .c -tion and repulsion, catalepsy and clairvoyance, phreno mesmerism, with and without contact, elicited rapturous applause, and exhibited results we have not seen pro duced at mesmeric exhibitions. He went through his illustrations with so excellent a grace, and quite a la Vernon, that left the audience delighted and amused, many of his tricks being worthy of even the Wizard of the North. At the conclusion, the Lecturer was tackled by Messrs. Donovan and Brookes, who contended that he had thrown a slur upon the most talented men of - the age—(Hear, hear)—and loaded the Lecturer with a profusion of epithets, until called to order by the Chairman. In. spite of the fruitless opposition of these gentlemen, the following resolution was proposed, seconded, and carried by a thumping majority :—" That the experi ments to-night, in clairvoyance, phreno-mesmerism, and the supposed mesmeric phenomena, have been more perfect, and, if we had not the key, would be more astounding, than any we have witnessed in mesmeric lectures." The Lecturer was greeted by loud cheering, on leaving the room. RAILWAYS ~F OR THE MILLION." Railway companies have discovered a way of being liberal with profit to themselves; and their specula tive trading has secured a boon for the hard-working population of the metropolis—one means of relieving the Wen " by at least some temporary dispersion. On Eastern Monday and the twofollowing days, what are called " return-tickets " giving the purchaser the right to conveyanc e out of and back again, were issued by several railway companies at greatly reduced fares. Shopkeepers, clerks, mechanics, and the fifty varieties of the Londoner race, were enabled for once to taste the delights of railway-travelling, and to visit even the sea-coast ! The favourite resort was Brighton—attractive from its associations with royalty, fashion, and old repute for gaiety ; the extra receipts on that railway amounted, in the three days, to 1,9431. Traditions of Julius Csar, of the ancient Castle, and Shakespeare's Cliff, also drew great numbers to Dover, and the result of the reduced fares for the three days was seen in extra receipts to the amount of 7001. Must these mutual benefits be confined to Easter week ? If it has paid the Brighton Railway , Proprie tors to sell "return-tickets" at half-price for those three days in April, would it not pay to do so on every Saturday, Sunday, and Monday throughout the summer and early autumn ? Without attempting to rival an economical arithmetician who has lately distinguished himself on cotton-mills, it may safely be calculated that to sell " return-tickets" on such a purely pleasure-line as that to Brighton, would be as great a boon to the Proprietors as to the public. The fixed capital invested in the formation of a rail way bears a much greater proportion to the cost of working than the buildings and machinery of a cot ton-mill to the circulating capital.; and the railway proprietor is, therefore, far more interested in in creasing the returns of his circulating capital by in creasing the rapidity of its circulation. Railways have created a new class of travellers, a great locomotive population 'that could alone people some European states ; yet to a considerable :extent 'the masses" are debarred from the use of the rail way by the outlay. The rich man finds its cheapet than the old method of post-chaises, or even stage coaches with the frequent inn-expenses ; but the poor man can ill-muster the requisite amount of gold. Cheapness would beget still newer and more nume rous classes; just as the cheap and accessible omnibus has converted half the passengers in London streets to riders. At present the Londoner is content to steam up to Richmond, and eat eel pies, or down to Gravesend, and dabble, like the eel, in half-salt water; but give the opportunity, and thousands might pour out weekly to the very sea-coasts, to the im mense profit of the railways, of the sea-side trades people, and the incalculable benefit and delight of the town-bred folks. To many there is no delight so great as that of loitering on a sea-beach ; but to the inlander it is a pleasure as rare as it is great; it might be one for every week. —Spectator. FALMOUTH, FRIDAY NIGHT.—:I he packet Pen guin, Lieutenant Leslie. arrived here this morning from the Brazils. She left Rio de Janeiro March 13th. Pas • sengers—Edward Porter, Esq., her Majesty's Consul at Bahia; Mr. and Mrs. Dufrere and family; Mr. and Mrs. Villeneuve and sons ; three Misses Samuel and servant; Mr. Haak and servant, and five miners. Had on freight about 20,0001. There is no political news by her; the affair of the arrangements of the new Ministry are in the same state as reported by the last packet, but Considerable concessions had been made by the Finance Minister for the removal of restrictions on shipping. commercial transactions very heavy. The next packet, the Swift following, had not arrived out at Rio. Her Majesty's ships at Rio were—the Daphne, Pearl, and Crescent. In the River Plate remained (by letter of Feb. 21st, from Monte Video), the Alfred, Curaccoa, Gorgon, Ardent, and Racer. Affairs in the River Plate unchanged. DOVER MAID..—The Post-office authorities have given the usual notice to the South-Eastern Railway Company to carry the night mail on and after the l lth instant—the down at 30 minutes past 8, raw., arriving in Dover at 30 minutes past 12 ; and the up at 1, A.M., arriving in London at 5, a.m. This is a step in the right way; but, we regret to say, the day mail, which, of the two, was the more required to be put on the railway, will be taken by road, as usual. It was originally an nounced that the mail train would be a first class train only; but this intention, from an objection urged by the Postmaster-General, has been abandoned, and the train will be one for the accommodation of first and second class passengers.—Railway Record. The sentence of death upon Mary Purley has been commuted to imprisonment in the Penitentiary at Mill bank, we understand, for a brief period. WILL OF THE LATE SIR HENRY HALFORD, BART. —The will of the late Sir Henry Belford, Bart., of Wis ton Hall, Leicester, has just been proved in Doctors' Commons, by his son and sole executor, Sir Henry Halford, Bart., to whom he has bequeathed the whole of his property. The personal property is sworn under 9,000/. THE LATE MATCH FROM LONDON TO WINDSOR. — The parties to this match, after the performance of which one of the horses engaged died of exhaustion, appeared on Thursday, at the instance of Mr. Thomas, secretary to the So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, at the Town hall, Windsor. The charge of excessive cruelty was fully substantiated against the driver and owner of the horse, which subsequently died of his exertions, a Mr. William Moseley, and he was convicted in the full penalty-40s. and costs. A Mr. Henry Bond, a medical student, the rider of the other horse, was then proceeded against, but as the animal he rode was described as having been in no degree distressed, the charge was dismissed. Mr. Thomas, in answer to a question from one of the bystander's, replied, that the law, however efficient against those vulgar criminals, would not reach the parties to the recent steeple-chase, at which three fine horses had perished. SHUOGLING.—On Thursday Edward Carter; John Davis, and James Johnson, the feaster and crew of a small yacht called the Isis, of 10 tons, were brought before Mr. Trail', at the Woolwich Police -court, charged with secreting on board that vessel upw ar ds of three thousand weight o f co ntraband tobacco. arnuer Charles Humphreysbold , In spector of the Coast-Guard S erv i ce , an d W. C. Simpson, a Custom-house officer, deposed that they boarded the Isis off Purfleet, and demanded to know what the vessel contained. The prisoners replied nothing. They proceeded to search her, and found stowed away in different parts of the vessel 62 bales, containing between 3,0001b5. and 4,0001bs of leaf tobacco, which had not paid duty, and which amounted to nearly 5001. Mr. Traill said the case must be remanded till Saturday, in order to have the attendance of the Solicitor of the Customs to prosecute. One of the prisoners said it was rhubarb leaf steeped in tobacco. They applied to be bailed, but Mr. Train refused to take bail. THE RENDEZVOUS WINE AND SUPPER ROOMS. — On Thursday, at the Excise, Llewellyn Watkin Williams; of ham and beef notoriety, keeper of the above rooms, in Brydges-street, opposite Drury-lane Theatre, was charged with selling foreign wi nes w i thout a license. Two officers of Excise proved being served with foreign wines at the above premises, on the 6th and 14th of December last, which they drank on the premise s . T he defendant plea d e d his distressed condition, with a famil y of eleven children, an d the Court, under the circumstances, mitigated the penalty to 15/. BIRTHDAY O F THE M ARQUIS OF W OR CESTER.-- Great rejoicings will t a k e p l ace on the com i n g of age of the es, Marquis of Worcester, which will occur in February. Bad minton will be the scene of splendid festivities, and a mag nificent entertainment will be given in Monmouthshire. An immense ox is to be roasted whole for the populace, in Agin court-square, Monmouth ; and a barrel of ale, which was brewed at the christening of the Noble Maroais, will be broached on the occasion.—Berrow's Worcester Journal. Tun SEASON AND THE CROPS.—The present sea son has hitherto been one of the finest that we have had for several years for promoting the growth of those crops which are already sown, and enabling the farmers to prepare the land for *OM which remain'to be sown. In all the counties of England, between Liverpool and SouthamPton, as well as its Normandy and the ether northern provinces of France, in Belgium, in Rhenish Prussia, and in Germany, as far as Frankfort, the wheat crops this year are most promising. We do not remember to hare seen above half-a-dozen bad fields of wheat in a journey of a thousand or twelve hun dred miles. In general the plant is very thick, the colour good, and the promise of the crop excellent. The same ob servation applies to the oat, the rye, the clover, and rape crops on the Continent, and to the grass crops in England, In the limestone districts of Normandy and in Flanders, as well as in the rich district between Mayence and Frankfort, the clovers are unusually fine this year, and it is a remark able proof of what may be effected by rich cultivation, that the Colza, a rape plant, was at least a yard high, and in full bloom, in Easter week, between Wines and Antwerp, at a time when it was even in laud in districts of France a couple of degrees further south. Owing to the heavy r a i ns o f March, and the general warmth of . the first fortnight in' April, this and most other crops were as forward as they were ever known to be at this season all the way from Havre to the Rhine. In this neighbourhood, and throughout Eng landW. CHAPL generally, they l ook as well as could be wished.. Nor. them Star. DEATH or THE BE T.

Chaplin, of Bishop's Stortford, for nearly half a centur y the p as tor of the In dependent Church in that town, and on e o f the oldest ministers in the deno mination. Mr. Cha p li n was for a short time associated , as co-pas tor , with his aged prede cessor,the Rev. Mr. A n g us; so that it is, we beli eve , a century since the pulpit', w hich they successively occu pied, was vacant. Mr. Chaplin Was, distinguished by the soundness of his theological views, by his exemplary and unaffected piety, and by the firmness and consistency of his political opinions, united _to singular amenity of manners. He retained to the last a 'lively concern in all the trans actions of the denomination to which he belonged, and in all the public proceedings affecting the interests of evan gelical religion, or the principles of religious freedom._ Patriot. • , STocx,ExcaANGE.---We understand th a t th e pro ject of establishing a stock exchan g e in this town has lately received a good deal of consid eration from the shareholders of Leeds , whose number s , as well as the extent of 'transactions, have increased so great l y w i t hi n the last few days, as to render some such establishment very desirable.—Leeds Tim es. Cunions CIRCUMSTANCE. —An old teakettle having been thrown away into t he p lantation belonging to Mis. robin's Somerset Batten, of this town, was , last week, f ound to contain a nest, Countywith fire. healthy yo ung birds in it.— Gazette. As Mr. 'Willson, of London,. on Thursday evening last, between the hourg o f nine a nd ten; was travelling from Caine to Devizes , about midwa y , he was •met, b y three men who demand e a his mone y ; he refusing to comply, a dreadful confl ict ensued, b y which h e was very much cut and otherwise. bruised, and the villains pilfered' him of all his money, which amounted only to about ten pounds, he luckily having made a large remit tance the same . a fterncion. The Superintendent and others of the Devizes police started in search of the robbers as soon as the 'news arrived ; and we hope and trust they may be discovered, and made suffer the full penalty of the law. Ile now ilea at the Castle Inn in a very precarious state.,:. -- DISSENTERS CHAPELS BILL. [The following is a ful!er Roport - of the proceedings on this Bill, in'the House of LOrds, on Fri lay - night, than we had space for in our Saturday's Morning Editioa The LORD CHANCELLOR rose to move that the House should resolve itself into . Committee on this 13ilL He expressed his surprise at the opposition which had been shown towards the Bill. The petitions, how ever, against the Bill were-generally in the same hand writing, and be had no doubt emanated from the same source, and therefore he did not feel much fear for the Billll . :e_ltad iptroduced oa account of these petitions. The Noble and Learned Lord went on to stateJ—lt must be remembered, that there are ninnerous.petitions, also, on the other side; but I-humbly presume to say they are Widely different in character from those I have men tioned, and entitled to much greater attention. There are petitions from members of the Established Church—peti tions from Presbyterians and various denominations of Dissenters, not couched in general terms, but pointing out specific • hardships and evils, and praying a remedy for the complaints which they made. There is an oppo sition, however,- of a very different description which this Bill is destined toencounter—l mean thatof a Bight Reverend Friend of mine (thelßishop of London), formi dable not more for his talents than for his character and position. I-do not apprehend, however, consideringthe strength and justice of the case, even the effect of that formidable opposition. I feel some surprise indeed at the new association into which my Right Reverend Friend has fallen; but great advantage must be derived -from - it if, as I am persuaded he will, my Right Reverend Friend uses his influence to temper their- zeal, and, if posaible," to put an end to the • differences which unfortunately prevail amongst them. lam happy to say, that as to one part of th Bill—l-mean the first section—no -differ ence of opinion exists as to the,ne , :essity of some change. The Bishop of EXETER-, in a loud tone, "No, no, no."—(A. laugh.) The LORD CHANCELLOR—WeII, this is the only quarter from which I have heard any objection.- I be lieve my Right Rev. Friend (the Bishop of London) sloes not join.in the opinions entertained by the Right Rev. Prelate. What is the object of this section, and the state of the law which it is intended. by it-to correct ? Some charities with :respect. to places of worship were established at a period when by. law that species of wor ship was illegal. Subsequent Acts-of Parliament passed. legalising the form Of- worship. Though the foundation was illegal, those charities have since become legal ac cording to our present law. The more liberal character and spirit of the present age have repealed the statutes declaring they were contrary -to law. • Notwithstanding this, as the foundation of those charities was illegal, it has been considered, notwithstanding the alteration of the law, that the defect was not completely remedied ; and for. the purpose, therefore, of preventing the con sequences resulting froni those. charities - being vacated by process of the courts of equity, I have introduced the present clause into the I3ill. The object of this clause is that those, charities- should be considered as if they were founded subsequently to the Act which legalised.them, What can .be more reasonable—what more just ? If they. are legal, the foundation of the charity should be declared so also. And what is. the object of their being set aside and declared void ?. To' vest them in the Crown, and thus devote' them to other. purposes than those for which they were originally intended. Until I hear some argument tirged.against the ,clause, I rest on this statement and the position I have made out—l rest on the support I expect to receive from my Right Rev, Friends—on the decided opinion expressed everywhere out of doors on the subject, and I shall not trouble your Lordships further with any- observations respecting it. Now as to the material point to which, opposition is di rected. I must state what the nature of the provision is. , Nothing can be more simple: Places of worship are established by deed.or will, for some benevolent purpose, That place has been establiShed for one. hundred and fifty or two hundred years ; but fora long period, say thirty, forty, fifty, or seventy years, the congregation meeting in that place have. entertained the same -religi-. ous doctrines and opinions. No change whatever has taken place during that period. It is a matter of speculation what the opinion - of the original founder was. He has not in his deed of. trust stated the doctrines and opiniens which he is desirous should be propounded and inculcated in that place of won ship. Why not take the usage which has prevailed for so long a period as evidence of the original inten tion of the donor ? If in a deed it be declared to be the declared will „and intention of the donor that particular doctrines should be preached and in culcated, to such a state of things this clause did not' apply .; but when it was not laid down what parti eular doctrines should be preached, or what the precise object of the foundation was, and yet that the parties frequenting the chapel had uniformly, and for a long period continued the same usage as to religious worship and doctrines, I ask your Lordships why we may not reasonably take the usage as evidence of the intention of the donor, and 'not allow the title to the occupancy of the chapel to be impeached in a court of justice ? My Lords, a Noble and Learned Friend of mine stated, on a former night, the principle on which this law was founded. , It is a. principle well known to our law—that, uniform possession for A long.series of years establishes a title. That great principle of our law is embraced in the law of every civilised country, and is adopted by our-. selves from the wise jurisprudence of ancient Rome. That principle we apply to our estates—to our civil rights. Why not apply it to a case of this description ?. Parties value their. Tights as connected with property of this description more highly than those appertaining to ordinary property., Those plaices of worship have been frequented by . . their fathers and grandfathers. The burial ground attachel contains the- names of - their relatives and parents, and is it not, therefore, .most., natural and important that the principle applied to civil rights should be put in force as to property of this mixed character ? With respect to civil rights, if. a party obtains unlawfully possession of land ' • if he acquires property by a fraudulent act , or one of violence, stilL'if 'he is allowed to remain in uninter rupted possession fora long series of years (and indeed, not a very long period according to modern law) his title becomes indefeasible. The person kept out of pos session may say" lam wrongfully dispossessed. I have distinct evidence of the fact ;". the answer is " an inde feasibleritle has been Acquired against you by lapse of - time, and this has been built on a wise principle of the law." Evidence is lost by lapse of tune ; witnesses die, and their testimony is gone ; parties are no longer Able by distinct evidence to establish what their rights were. The lapse ottime effects all' this. It has also its counteracting effects. It establishes continued-possession as evidence of .the right of another, thus balancing and replacing the title which was lost. This is an established principle of the la w. But it is material to consider how it has been r e cognised and extended in modern times, for the purpose of seeing what importance has been at tached to it. Everybody knows that the -rule I have alluded todid not extend to cases where the. Crown was concerned, .the Crown . being supposed to be so much. engaged with publie affairs, that it had not an oppor-3 tunity actively to superintend its reason peculiar 'intere sts. Perhaps there was another reason for .the exception.. It was not thought right that the 'Weakness or supineness of the immediate possessor shouldimpair the rights and interests of the successor. This for a long period was the law of the country; in modern acts it. was consi dered a false principle to establish this limitation-in the case of the Crown, except so .far as to require 'posses sion for a longer period against it than in the case. of a subject; and after long discussion the rule, excepting the Crown from the operation of the principle I have named, was abolished. In the case of the Church, too, Lord Tenterden, in our own times, abolished the ex ception which said that no time.should run against the Church. Why enter into this detail for the purpose of impressing on your Lordships the importance of this rule, and the universality of, its application? The cir cumstances which I am. about to detail, though not coming within the scope of this Bill, will serve to throw light on the species. of inquiry which must be instituted if some such measure as the present be not passed. I allude to Lady Hewley's charity. Give me to say that is not a single case ; many such are now pending, and many more threatened, The Noble and Learned Lord then went on .to, give a his tory of this case, by which it appeared that the judges and House - f Lords voted in favour of the claimants. Then arose the question to whom did the funds belong. The Presbyterians said, " They are ours;" the Independents said, "We are the parties intended." The Master had to investigate those conflicting claims, and report to .the Vice-Chancellor. The Tice-Chancellor had a second time to sift the most conflicting - evidence, and the result was not yet determined., One thing, how ever, was determined—the costs amounted to 30,0001. and were to - be paid, as usual, out Of the charity. He knew that there were at least two hundred snits in , . contemplation, for th e purpose of ousting the . trustees of several Of those charities, and he thought their Lord ships would agree with him, that he was perfectly jus tified in' calling for the interference of that Muse. — (Cheers.) The.object of the Bill was to prevent liti gation, and he felt confident that he would meet with the cordial support of their Lordships. The Bishop of LONDON said, he should not venture to oppose so distinguished an authority if he had not a grave and weighty judgment on his side. He should not say that he was about to 'imitate a great Roman orator, and appeal from Philip in one condition to Philip in another—(a laugh)—but he would. appeal from the legislator, to the judge. .And here, he was reminded of the truth of an axiom delivered by one who was the ornament of the Woolsack and ,the Bench, that the opinion of a judge was - more certain than that of .a senator. He should describe the. Bill as one, to render lawful that which was at present unlawful. It was , true another object was to prevent litigation. Bat litigation was a great though not unmixed good, when by it justice was vindicated. .. • As- to ..Lady Bewley's charity, ,the blame of the eXiiense inciirred rested on those who per tinaciously resisted the claims of those justly entitled to it. These .chapels were at first founded b, persons obliged to subscribe to the doctrines of the hurch of England. Before the Act of Toleration it was not allow able for any sect to worship according to any forms, save 'those of the true Church of England. At 'the time of the Restoration, 2,000 ministers were displaced from their benefices in consequence of theirrefusal to subSeribe to the articles of the Church. .A great many dissenting chapels were then built and .endowed by persons pro fessing andhelieiring in the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. Dissenters were then permitted to build chapels . and endow them under certain limitations. But there was one remarkable exception. The benefit of the Act of Toleration was not to extend to those who held views denying the divinity' of Christ. About- 2,000 "Ape's were built within twenty years from the year 1644, when the Act of Toleration was passed ; and :every one of these chapels, was. , built by persons holding..Trinitti rian doctrines ; nay, more—not one of these eha- - n ls wa s occupied by a minister wh o would ' h av e thought it the height of to .promul gateblasphemy not Unitarian . principles. The- d issenters ' of these days, then, subscribed to the doctrine of 'the Holy H yTri nity. They had.no scruple in doing so Presbyferiins and Dissenters , approved- of that, prov us' ion' of the -.kat- of PRINCESS'S THEATRE. were cro, We attended the other day at this institution, in order to bear the musical . lectures which . lir. Born—the celebrated composer—is now giving. there. Unquestionably these lec tures form the most attractive feature of the institution, and, if followed up with spirit and perseverance, bid fair to obtain extensive popularity, and draw .numerous and fashionable audiences. • But surely the proprietors of the Polytechnic are not acting with their usual judgment -in changing`the subjects of the lectures once e Week'! They - should allow each lecture to be: continued for at I.east.a month, so.that the public may have •sufficient•time •to become, acquainted with its peculiar merits. - When we last heard Mr. 'Horn, the subject on which he was expatiating was American music, m ore especially that of the negroes in the southern s l av e 'states of Yankee-land. The subject was evidently new to the majority of the audience, who listened with the deepest attention ; and we shall not soon forget the impression which the lecturer produced by the exquisitely simple and pathetic manner in which he sang the air, " O'er the lake, and by the willow," and' the hearty and 'cordial spirit which he threw into another favourite negro song, entitled the "Ohio.". Such a lecture, containing, as it did, a world of novel and curious infornoation—to say nothing of the beautiful melo dies which were interspersed throughout it—would inevita-'- bly, had it been allowed fair play, have gained on the atten:- tions of the public ; but before it had time to produce the requisite impression, the proprietors directed 'some other musical sukect to be substituted for it, greatly,, as we happen to know, to the• surprise and vexation of many, who were anxious to go and bear it. Mr. Horn's lectures; we repeat, need only. to be generally known to become generally popular; he is incomparably the best musical' lecturer we have ever heard; and•the proprietors of the Polytechnic In stitution will not be consulting their best interests, if they do, not allow each of his lectures sufficient tithe to produce an impression on the public mind. We will venture to say that if the subject of " American music" had been allowed a month's run—to borrow a phrase from the theatre—it would at the expiration of that period have become a general favourite, =dialed the inetitAtiou to overeowing, Madame Anna Thillon, the prima donna of the Opera Comique at Paris, made her debut at this theatre on Thurs day in Auber's opera Lea Diamans de la Couronne, an Eng lish verson of which was produced for the occasion, under the title of The Crown Jewels. The music is sparkling, brilliant, and completely Anberish, and the plot is one of those strange melo-dramatic mixtures of ruffianism and elegance, which Auberso delights to illustrate. A young Queen of Portugal , in order to replenish her exhausted exchequer, determines to pawn the Crownjewels, and employs the chief of a gang of bandits and coiners for this purpose, he at the same time un dertaking to manufacture false ones, to substitute in their room.. The Queen visits the robbers at their work, and there meets with a young Nobleman who had lost his .way, and who fulls desperately in love with her. She afterwards meets her lover at the house of the Minister of Police, and the young nobleman believing her to be a robber, is in the greatest dread, expecting every instant to see her arrested. The espiegterie with which Thillon gave -this scene was inimitable. She seemed quite to revel in the agonies of poor Allen, who acted the lover. A number of amusing incidents succeed, until at last all is ex• plained ; and the Queen from her throne announces her de termination to take the young Nobleman as her consort. The success of Madame Thillon was most complete. She had not been on the stage ten minutes before she had become as great a favourite with the English, as she ds with the French audience. Her features are handsome, extremely animated, and Very expressive. Her eyes are brilliant and playful, and her smile is one of the most bewitching ever beheld. Her voice is deliciously sweet, and is capable of the utmost variety of expression. Now she melts her hearers almost to tears by the impassioned tenderness which she throws into a love ballad, and anon she astonishes them by her wonderful fioriture in the clearness; neatness, and rapidity of which she equals Persiani herself. With these advantages it is not astonishing that Madame Thillon should be a uni versal favourite. Her success last night was pre-eminent, and Mr. Maddox has added to the number of the obligations under which the musical public of this country already are to him, by his engagement of this very facinating and charm ing actress and singer. 'We are delighted, too, to hear that although Madam* Thillon is the Prima Donna of the Opera Comique in Paris, she is, by birth, our countrywoman. She was a Miss Hunt. At the conclusion she made her ap pearance twice before the curtain, in obedience to the calls of the audience, and was each time received with shouts of ap plause and showers of bouquets. The house was crowded to the ceiling, and we have no doubt but that Madame Thillon and The Crown Diamonds will draW similar houses as long as her engagement lasts. FRENCH PLAYS. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. Mademoiselle Plessy made her first appearance for the sea son, on Friday, and we are sorry to see it announced that her engagement is for a few nights only. We had hoped to have had her amongst us for a few weeks at least. She made her debtit last evening, in the character of Charlotte de Merian, in Alexandre Dumas' comedy of Les Demoiselles de Saint Cyr, which has recently been drawing all Paris to the Theatre Francais. The scene is laid in the latter days of Louis XIV., when Madame de Maintenon, in the height of her power, had founded her celebrated establishment for the education of young ladies at Saint Cyr, and when the. Duke of Anjou, the grandson of the Grand Monarque, had been Jeft the throne of Spain, and was about to fake possession of this Royal legacy. The plot of the first act is laid at Saint Cyr. Charlotte de Merian, (Mademoiselle Plessy) one ofthe pupils of the establishment, has attracted the attention of the Vicomte de Saint Herem, (M. Gaston), who having pro cured admission to Saint Cyr clandestinely is pressing his suit with anything but honourable intentions. Charlotte, however, has, in Louise Mauclaire (Madame Mery) a mentor, whose shrewdness and presence of 'mind, stand much in the way of the Vicomte's success, and, accordingly he engages Hercule Dubouloy (M. Lienard) a rich and foolish roturier, who is proud of being intimate with a Noble, to make love to. Louise, while he himself pursues his, suit :with Charlotte. Louise however outwits him. She has given information to Madame de Maintenon, and in the midst of their protests • tions the two gentlemen are arrested and hurried off to the Bastile, from which they only get released by marrying the two ladies. The Vicomte, as soon as the marriage is over, announces to his wife his intention of settling a sufficient sum on her, to enable her to Maintain the rank to which she has at tained, and of quitting her for ever. She refuses the settle ment ; he is, however,_ inexorable, and, accompanied by his friend Dubouloy,. who, of course, imitates the Vicomte's ex ample in deserting his wife, sets out for the Court of Spain. The third act opens at the Court of Madrid, where _Saint Herein is the favourite of the King. A bal masque is given : two elegant French women masked are introduced by the French Ambassador. They attract the notice of the King. His Majesty is evidently smitten by them, but, being called away, commends them to the parti cular attention of Saint Herein and Dubouloy. They also are fascinated by their charms; they request them to unmask, and discover that the ladies are their wives.. : The King en ters, and with great glee informs them that he has an assignation with the ladies for the morrow, an announcement which is received . with horror by the unfortunate husbands, who are both equally anxious to know which lady is the fa vourite. In an interview with the Vicomte, Charlotte in forms him that she is no longer his wife ; that tlse Pope, through the interest of Madame de Maintenon, exercised at her express request, has annulled the, marriage, and that he is free. Dubouloy, when informed Of this, concludes that he also is free, but alas! although the noble's marriage was an nulled,, the plebeian's was confirmed. Charlotte is the object of the affection's of the King. Saint Herezn's affection returns, and eventually, of course, he is re;united to his wife, and, accompanied by M. and Madame Dubouloy, the latter of whom has procured for her hushand a patent of nobility, they leave Spain to return to France, to resume their station in society. The acting of Mademoiselle Plessy was beautiful and appropriate throughout. She was by turns the simple minded, trusting, affectionate girl—the broken-hearted wife —the polished lady of fashion, and ,the high-spirited, high minded woman, sensible of what was due to her station, but willing to make any sacrifice to secure the love of her truant husband. As a specimen of la haute comedie, the Charlotte of Mademoiselle Plessy is entitled to hold the highest rank. She was called for at the conclusion, and received with the usual honours. Mademoiselle Mery, from the Lille Theatre, made her first appearance in this country as. Louise, and created a most favourable impression. She is very pretty, very lively, and acted the character with a degree of playful archness that was' quite fascinating. This young lady is a very great acquisition to Mr. Mitchell's company. The theatre was filled in every part ; the boxes. which were almost exclusively occupied by the elite of the fashionable world, ,wded. LOUIS PHILIPPE'S HISTORICAL GALLERY. The celebrated historical gallery at Versailles will shortly be adorned with upwards of fifty portraits of il lustrious and eminent personages of this country. Mr. George P. A. Healy, an artist in the employ of Louis Philippe, has been some time in England, and is now at Windsor Castle. This gentleman' s instructions are . to copy the following : AT WINDSOR CASTLE. —George IV. in the robes of the Garter, by Sir T• Lawrence _ ; WilliamlV. in the robes of the Garter, by Sir M.

OLvidric.—Mr. E. L. Blanchard,.. the author of many successful pieces peculiar to this theatre, takes a benefit, we perceive, this evening at the above theatre. Mr. Blanchard is a young man of great talent, and risingrapidly in public estimation. He is the son of the late Mr. Blanchard, the well-known comedian, who, for many years, was a member of the Covent-garden com pany during the management of Mr. Harris and the Kembles, The bill of fare consists of three pieces, writ ten by himself one of which (The Road of Life) has had a successful run this season of upwards of 100 nights. We heartily . wish him that success to which his merits so justly entitle him. ehss KELLY'S THEATRE.---This little theatre was on Friday put in requisition for the,benefit of the charitable fund for the unemployed needlewomen. Tobin's comedy of the Honeymoon, and the afterpiece of Ch arles IL, acted by a party pi' amateur members of the Middle Temple, formed the entertainments of the evening. The house was and, we hope, productively attended. The gentlemen per formers afforded - much amusement to their auditors, who called for them all respectively, and rewarded their benevo lent exertions with at least a basket-full of bouquets. The convict Henry Jones, who saved 'the lives of the two men at Devonport, was liberated on Thursday, having received a free pardon from her Majesty.

TO THE EDITOR OF THESCIA,_ - _ SIR,—In one of the leading articles of the Morning Chl °tact?, on Wednesday, the Editor treated on the Fac tory Bill, now before the House of Commons, and among other remarks of importance observed: lf we can permanently raise wages by direct legisla tion, it is a new and most important truth in political econi rny. The wellbeing of the most numerous class is the great object of legislation, and the nicans'tif attaining it the most preeiensboon which economical science can confer upon society. Let it be shown that legislation can by direct interference with human labour, ensure permanently- to the labouring classes a larger share of the necessaries and comforts of life than they could otherwise enjoy, and the establishment of the principle will be a far more glorious - event than the invention of the railway or the steam-engine or any other physical triumph of the age." On two or three days preceding the article from which I have quoted, another question was discussed in the same paper—that of the Currency. Had the Editor of the Chronicle fortunatelytaken the enlightened view you have done on the latter most important topic, he would have treated the currency and the rate of remuneration for labour as questions clearly id,ntical ; he would have shown to his readers with a force to have entitled him to some of the fame he offers to others, that when rightly considered it is perfectly within the power of Government, with the'r influence in the Legislature, to, " ensure prmanently to the labouring Classes a larger share of the necessaries and comforts of life than they' could otherwise enjiiy." It is lamentable to reflect on the obtnsene;s Of Men's minds regarding the fatal error committed in the mo metary circumstances' of the nation by the celebrated Bill of 1819; which not only . at that time_changed the amount of all the liabilities of debtors , pu blic and pri vate, and of the value of all property engaged in trade and agriculture, from 30 to 50 per cent:, but still ope rates to destroy. the legitimate prafitnf the producer in this country, and to impair, to a very. oppressive extent, the fair and just reward of labour: Mr. Pitt, when he saw a necessity for lifting up taxation, looked at the question of the currency with the light of experience and of ancient precedent, and he adopted a conventional medium of interchange in Bank of England-paper, which, by-the celebrated Restriction Act, he rendered a legal tender. The change so -produced enabled the Go vernment of this country to supply most of the means for carrying on the long and eventful Continental war from 1797 to 1815, while, at the same time, it gave pros perity to all the producing classes of the United King dom ; and had the restriction been wisely continued for the twenty-eight or thirty years after the termination of the war, we should by this time have paid off two-thirds of the immense National Debt, and have seen the people happy and contented. . • • '•. - - It is an ascertained fact, as you have well pointed out, that no other than an artificial currency enables the pro ducer to add indirect taxation to specie, so as to reach the wealthy Consumer. The adoption of, gold, fixed by law at 31. 17s. 100., has the effect of confining the pay ment of this class of taxation to the producer —and hence it is that wages of labour have been reduced to the ex tent of some two shillings or more per week, in respect of the lowest class of labourers, and a proportionate diminution of the higher class of artisans, a result mani festly unjust, and which ought not to be continued a day after the discovery of a remedy is announced. This very important mode of accounting for the distress and misery that so extensively prevail among the producing classes, has beers most lucidly set forth by Mr. John Taylor, whose sound statistics, and profound writings form the basis of a society recently organised in London, for the concentration and diffusion of enlightened opinion on the currency question. I refer to -the " Society for the Emancipation of Industry," in Parliament-street, and I unhesitatingly invite an examination of the publica tions of that Society, in confirmation of what I have advanced. If the views of this Society be fairly considered and adopted, the wages of labour would un doubtedly rise some 20 per cent; without oppression to the master—there would be abundant means of inter change of commodities at remunerating prices to the capitalist in the home market—foreign commerce would be carried on with facility and success, as well as with equal justice to the foreign and British merchant ; and we should not hear of future instances, such as that de scribed by Mr. Ward in the House of Commons, with reference to the orders tendered by Mr. Muntz to the town of' Sheffield, being rejected, and ultimately sent abroad for execution. The English manufacturer would be able to'vell abroad for gold at a price as low, or even lower, quality being estima'eil, than the Continental producer. Machinery would, from increased commerce at home and abroad, take its proper place as the auxiliary, rather than a means of superseding labour. Lord Ashley might then fearlessly, and with safety, prosecute his humane legislation to prevent undue labour of females and children in our factories. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, DELTA.

Prelate, in the course of his speoh, had sad that heresy was still punishable. It was pithishable, it Was true, but in what courts was it punishable? Why; it was punish able in those very courts whigh . thellight Rev. Prelate hiniself had . so :Strenuously defended, .namely, the diocesan courts. : Now be (Lord . Cottenham) trusted that what .the Right Rev. Prelate had said that night would be represented to the How of Commons. -- (Laughter)—before. they passed' . the Ecclesiastical Courts Codas Bill. With respect to the Bill before their Lord • ships, he would remind : th e House that Many of the chapels to which it referred, had bepri considerably en larged at great expense by the present congregations, and he would ask how were they to deal with such cases? From the statements which appeared .in the petitions which 'he had presented on this subject, it would be seen that in some cases chapels of the petitioners had been. held by them and their predecessors for 150 years, in ethers 100, and so on. The intention of this Bill was to afford that protection to property of Dissenting con gregations which every other person or Species of pro perty possessed. It was merely to protect that property which had been enjoyed by those congregations for so many years, and he therefore hoped their Lordships would feel perf ec tly sa ti s fi e d th a t, i n passing this Bill, they were only protecting those persons from injustice, inconvenience, and loss. The Bishop of EXETER said the Noble and Learned Lord who had just sat down mistook his (the Bishop of Exeter's) meaning. What he had said, and : what be would again repeat, was, that he would wish to see all power which the Established Church possessed over the Dissenting classes abolished, provided that they were prevented from interfering with the rights and privileges of Churchmen. . . . . Toleration Which pre - vented its 'benefits froth being ex• tended to those Who held Unitarian doctrines. Dissent ing ministers could not, then, exercise 'their - functions without subscribing to the dectrine of the HoliTrinity ; and therefore, for many years, there was no encloWment established, but in the firm belief that Unitarian doctrines would never be preached in the chapel to which it re ferred. In 1647 a union took place between the Inde pendents and the Presbyterians ; but still they con tinued strict Trinitarians. At that time a curious in stance occurred to show the abhorrence in which doc trines appinaching to Unitarian* . sin were held by, the orthodox Dissenters: A very distinguished Dissenting clergyman in Dublin was deprived of his benefice. He held what were called high Arian doctrines, and so strong, on this account, was the feeling againit him ? that when lie carne over to London not one of the Pres byterian or Independent ministers would hold' com munion with him. He (the Bishop Of London) offered at present no opinion upon doctrinal points ; he was merely urging the question historically. So matters went on until 1770, when, instead of the former subscription to the articles of the ChUrch, a declaration was substi tuted, by which Dissenting ministers admitted that they received the Holy Scriptures in the sense usually adopted by Protestant churches, and that they held them to be the word of God. From 1689 to 1770, it was next to impossible that any chapels, or, at least, a considerable nuinbar of chapels, should have been erected for the - promulgation of Unitarian doctrines. Not only were they built With the view of not promulgating Uni tarianism, but they were built with the view of Com bating its advance. It would probably, however, .be asked why,. in the cases-of-many-of-these chapels, there were net express stipulations -int the -trust deeds, pro viding that no doctrines other than those of the founders should be taught therein. Why,- for a very obvious reason : the fuunders considered that they were protected by the law. They never -thought 'of the possibility of: such a change as had occurred really happening. . They never considered that Unitarianism could be legally preacheit's. - He. did not' say whether' die change was right or wrong, but it was -a change which their fore fathers never contemplated. This wasnot his opinion alone : there was a letter, published upwards of twenty years ago by an eminent minister of the Independent per suasion, in. which he found it stated that all who knew the old Presbyterian doctrines, from the writings of the period, would know that the authors would have shrunk with the deepest horror from lending their support to doctrines which they believed-contrary to the Scriptures, and mincing to the everlasting welfare of- man. And here, he would remark, that it 'could - not be -said that the Unitarians had had no -warning. The note of alarm had been sounded nearly twenty years ago. At that period an action was brought-upon the subject, but. the uncertain state of the law, until the late-decision in the Hewley case, prevented it from being proceeded with. A controversy upon the subject, however, sprang up in . Lancashire in the year 1825, when it was clearly shown that out of 700 Unitarian chapels in the Duchy of Lan caster, the possession of 274 had been usurped by Uni tarian trustees. He would remark, too, that the claim in question was put forward by only a small body of Dissenters, and that it was opposed, although not unanimously, by other dissenting sects. The Uni tarians formed, he believed, about two per cent.. of , the great body of Dissenters. The Wesleyan - Me thodists bad held a meeting, and agreed to represent strongly their reasons against the Bill. The general body of Dissenters had had a meeting, at iyhich a simi lar address was agreed to. He considered that this Bill was neither more nor less than an ex post facto, law, rendering necessary to the validity of a trust certain conditions not necessary to its validity when the.trust was executed. It proposed to render it necessary to the vali dity of a trust that the purposes of the founder should have been mentioned in the deed, although at the time °fits:execution these intentions were perfectly notorious. And 'this brought him to the general and sound principle upon which, up to this time, courts of equity had de cided in such cases—namely, that when the intentions of the founder could be ascertained, they should be strictly adhered to. Ho did not speak on legal matters upon his own authority ; he sheltered himselt behind a long array of 'witnesses, whose evidence was unexceptionable. The Right Rev. Prelate here prooeeded to read a number of judgments pronounced -by various judges in various cases, to the general effect, that where it was possible to ascer tain what were the religious tenets of the founder of a chapel, that it- ought to belong to and be in communion with the sect who maintained these tenets. That it was not in the power of the trustees of chapels to alter the purposes for which their founders endowed them. One of th ese judgments (continued the Right Rev. Prelate) had been delivered by his Noble and Learned Friend on the woolsack, and at was to the effect, that in any case of charity, whether the object of the charity was for civil or religious purposes, it was the duty of the court to give effect to the intentions of the _founder, provided that could be done without infringing any known rule of law. If the terms of of the deed be clear and precise, both as to language and application, the course of the court would not be difficult ' • but if, -on the eontrary; the terms were doubtful and,obscure, it then became the duty of the court to ascertain by means of evidence, as clear as could be laid before it, what were the . ; intentions of the founder, and the moment the fact was known the application of it became clear. Suchlwere the legal opinions of the Noble and Learned Lord on the woolsack upon the point ; and it would be scarcely necessary for him to cite other au thorities in support of a principle so clearly laid down, and so evidently in accordance • with - common sense and common justice. But well-founded as that principle was, this Bill went to subvert it. His Noble and Learned Friend said, and said truly, that they could not believe that Lady Hewley, a pious and well-meaning lady,conld have given funds to promote and encourage the promulgation of doetrines directly at variance with those opinions she entertained, as regarded points universally considered as essential in matters of religious belief. No; she never in tended her bounty to he applied to the encouragement of the teaching of Unitarianism. It was almost superfluous for him to - add another ward -to this argument of his Noble and _Learned Friend. But his Noble and Learned Friend's Bill went directly in contravention to the principle he bad himseltso luminously laid down. It was now pro posed that the usage .of a congregation for the last twenty years should be taken as convincing evidence of what was. the purpose of the founder—it might be 150 years ago—and of the nature of the religious doctrines which he intended to be taught. He should have thought that they could have a better test of what those inten tions and what those doctrines - were by 'taking the usage of the first instead •of the last twenty years after the founder's death.—(Hear, hear.) If they could prove what was the usage for those twenty years they could settle the . question at once, but surely twenty . years preaching of a doctrine which the founder held to be blasphemous was not so conclusive. It was argued in favour of the Bill that it would produce a feeling of peace and security amongst many congregations of Dis senters, but he objected to upset equity and justice for the' sake of at best a doubtful peace. He believed, in deed, on the contrary, that, if carried into effect, it would excite a spirit of watchfulness and jealousy as to the doctrines and words of the preachers in many dissent ing congregations. The dissent of many of the chapels to which he had alluded, from what was g enerally called orthodox doctrine to the depths of Socinianism, had been effected by slow degrees. The history of these chapels showed that that dissent usually commenced through the instrumentality of some minister holding the doctrines of what was called High Arianism. The congregation became habituated to his doctrines and forms of expres sion. Then he or his successors ventured on the plain Arianism ; from thence they proceeded to Socinianism; and thus Unitarian doctrines came regularly to be preached in the chapel in question. He should like to know what security there was, if this Bill were carried into effect, of chapels not being ultimately claimed by So cialist preachers ?—(Hear.) The Actiwas so.vague that he did not know but that any party of individuals claim ing, to be a religious body at all, might not advance elairas to chapels under it. Another question he would put.to the serious consideration of their Lordships was whether, as was now proposed, the same principle of law should be applied to trust which was applied to private property. He maintained that the duty of the legisla ture and of the judges, in respect to trust property, was quite different from their duty as respected private pro perty. The former required more protection, more careful guardianship, than the latter. It appeared, then, to him that, by passing this Bill, Parliament would, without any su?ficient cause having been shown, be pur suing a course tending to enrich and endow Unitarianism with the spoils of orthodox Dissenters. Anxious as he was to do everythingin his power to prevent unnecessary litigation, and to settle doubtful titles, when these objects could be accomplished without gross injustice, he must, still oppose the Bill, at least the second clause, as In volving a principle inconsistent with justice, equi.ty, and the interests. of -true religion.-4 Hear- hesse.)

Such being his coniriction,. he could not help expressing his hope that it was not the intention of the Right Rev. - Prelate opposite to divide the House upon this question. The Bishop of LONDON said it was net his intention to divide the House.. Lord TEYNHAM would oppose the Bill, because. be . thought it was calculated to inflict much 'hardship upon many parties, and also because of the number •of peti tions which had been presented by varioui bodies of Dissenters disapproving of the measure. Ike azieud with the Noble and Learned Lord that something, re quired to be done, but certainly this Bill Wank], not at all provide a remedy for the evils whkh now existed. - It was true that these congregations, tad, had . possession of those chapel s f or _ many but then they ids° had enjoyed all. their concomitant advantages. He felt that pa,ssing this Bill would be a gross injustice, because. those: sums of money were granted, not for the promotion of= parti. cular doctrines, but for the purposes al truth. Such being his opinion, he felt justified in coinciding in the expression that this Bill was one of spoliation, and he much regretted that it should be sanctioned' by.any lii ;k and hoaourable body of, her Majesty's tiubjects. Ile questioned very much whether this Bill would prevent . litigation, for if the trustees of any of these ?chapels should find that theirministers were preaching•doettines • contrary to the doctrine of the particular sectlo which they belonged; it would than be the duty of those trt.ue= tees to: bring those ministers into Court. Believinfc that this Bill would open a wide door to 'litigation; hti should oppose it. . . The amendment was then ptit and uegitived without a division. The Bill then passed through Coriamittee, was re ported, and ordered to be read a third time on Monday. MURDER AT BATTERSEA. WANDSWORTH POLICE COURT. Augustus Dabnas, the unfortunaterrenchman charged" with' the' murder of Sarah Eleanor WFarlane, was examined on Saturday before Mr. CliVe. The prisoner was brought down from London in the cust.)dy of Sergeant Cummings of the. D division, and Police-constable 203 of the same section. He was con veyed in a cab, handcuffed to the first-named offic(er. At half-past eleven the prisoner was introduced into Court, and, despite the heavy charge against him, he seemed of all present the most unconcerned. ,He stood during the whole period of examination, in a most easy attitude, resting one hand on the back of a 'chair, while the other was negligently pressed against his side. lie gave every attention to the evidence of the witnesses,. and occasionally interrupted them by asking some questions. The evidence of Mrs.. Gibson was literally the same with that detailed in The Sun on Thum's!) , last. She had been called in to.see her sisterlying *in the Swan Tavern, Wandsworth; and found her dead from the ex tensive injuries inflicted on her neck. Sergeant Cummings, 3 D, was the next and the only 1 new witness examined.. He stated that th e pr i soner Augustus Dalmas had knocked at the door. of Maryle tone-lane station about one o'clock that morning; that - he requested the reserve constable to ahem him the in spector ; that the inspector, Mr. Brown., not being pre sent, he was introduced to him (Sergeant Cummings); that he stated to him that he had been haunted day and night by the reports which had ar,peared in the news papers ; and that he was the rny.n described as being the murderer. He (Sergeant Crniimings) told him that if he wished to make an statement, he would take it down in - writing, Antt, cautioned him at the same time that such would 'be produced afterwards. The prisoner again recapitulatod the substance of what he had said before, and added that he did not accom pany the deceased upon Battersea-bridge. He also s aid that the only true evidence, ass given in the newspape," on the occasion of the inquest at the'Swan Tavern, Bat-- tersea, was that given by his i daughter Charlotte.'
