DUBLIN, Nov. 10.—On the part of the traversers in the late State prosecution, a motion is to be submitted to the Court of Queen's Bench ; it will probably be made to-morrow by Sir Colman O'Logillen—to the effect that the recognizances, in which Mr. O'Connell and the seve ral other traversers gave bail for their attendance in Court, from t , rm to term, until discharged by the Attorney-General, shall be returned to the solicitors in the cause.

PRICE sd_ The affidavit of Mr. Forde, the solicitor of Mr. O'Con nell, upon which this application will be grounded, sets forth, in chronological order, the various proceedings adopted—the binding over of the traversers at the house of Judge Burton, personally and by sureties, to attend to answer such charges as might be preferred by the Attorney-General—the finding of the bills of indict ment—the trial and tl e conviction—the sending of Mr, O'Connell and the other traversers, in close custody, from the Court to the prison of Grangegorman—the lodging of the appeal to the house of Lords ; and, finally, the result of that appeal, quashing the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench, and releasing the tray( r..rs from im prisonment, suffered under an illegal sentence. But al though the traversers have been reitored to liberty, they are still form illy bound, and their sureties, on their be half, for their continued attendance, until discharged by the Court. To obtqin this discharge, and the return of the recornizanc is the object of the motion to le made by Sir Colman O'Loghlen to-morrow.

Professor BACIIHOFENER'S varied Lectures abound in interesting experi ments. PUBLICATIONS. of what he intended to express was this: that he had been suspected of writing a letter in a newspaper, re specting the state of the regiment, some two or three years ago, and that he had ever since undergone such unremitting persecution, a s r en d ere d lif e intolerable, and he therefore, by the commission of this crime, hoped for death, as a termination to his sufferings. He did not name any one as his persecutor, but in tended merely to remind the court, that rational beings were not in the habit of acting as he and others had done, without some cause. This man was sentenced to eight years' imprisonment with hard labour, and a month's solitary confinement every four months. had private II- committed suicide, instead of making a show of striking his captain for the purpose of being put to death, a coroner's inquest would, I think, have returned a verdict of temporary insanity. It is notorious that this man sought death as a release from continued suffering. Flogging has been long the principal sL!eondary punishment in the British army. In the early part of the last century it was inflicted by means of rods, and by hired executioners ; but that mode having fallen into disuse, the present system was adopted, namely, by drummer with the cat-of-nine-tails. During the rebellion in Scotland in 1745, the cat was much em ployed by the army, to extort evidence, as well as to punish soldiers. We learn by the Jacobite memoirs, that a sentry, who had been convicted of allowing a prisoner to escape, received 500 lashes with it. The punishment of flogging has been employed and defended, apparently as if it were calculated to expiate or atone for crimes. Flagellation was no doubt approved by public opinion, so long as it was in accordance with the prevalent religious ideas. The Church pointed out corporal inflictions as a means of salvation ; and the repentant sinner believed, that by penance and bodily suffering, he should recover peace of conscience. pis.

"'"Monday a meeting of the landowners of the north eastern division of the county of Essex was held in support of the proposed railway to Sudbury. The meet ing was called by requisition, which was as follows: " We, the undersigned, being of opinion that the pro posed railway from Sudbury through Halsted to Brain tree and Witham will confer a great benefit upon the town of Halsted and its neighbourhood, do hereby re. quest that all parties interested in the success of the undertaking to attend a public meeting at the Concert hall, in the town of Halsted, on Monday, November 11, for the purpose of considering the best means of co operating with the originators of this important work." The following magistrates and landowners affixed their names to the requ i sition:—George de V a i zey, N . N . Browston, Renja m i n Gi lson, John Su db ury , D. Sewell, Esqs., and several others. George de Vaizey, Esq., took the chair. Esq., a mag i strate, i n N. MA RTIN , proposing the first resolution, " Th at, i n the opinion of this meeting, the propos e d ra il way would confer a great benefit on the town of Halsted, said the inhabitants of Witham were very anxious to have a railway to Braintree, and the inhabitants of Sudbury were also anxious to have a railway line of communication to London. At a meeting held in Sudbury, it was proposed to have a line to join the Eastern Counties line at Kelvedon. It would be apparent, however, to every body that two lines of that description, one f rom Kelvedon and the other from Witham, would never be allowed by the Legislature ; and a deputation from the Eastern Counties Company had attended on Thursday last at Sudbury, to endeavour to induce the inhabitants of that town to have their line to join the Eastern Counties line at Witham, instead of Kelvedon. In this they succeeded, and the people of Sudbury had come to the determination to joia their line with the one from Witham to Braintree. The resolution was unanimously adopted. Mr. ARDEN proposed that a committee should be formed, consisting of the requisitionists,_ with power to add to their numb er, to co-operate with the promoters of the proposed railway. He said that there were various opinions as to the advantages of a railway to Halsted, but the railway was sure to be brought there, and there fore he thought it would be policy in those who did object to it to support it. The CHAIRMAN said he believed that the majority of the inhabitants of Halsted were in favour of the railway. 'rho resolution was adopted, as were others, embody ing the sentiments of the meeting with respect to the proposed line of railway, after which the meeting sepa rated. SCENE IN TWEEDSIOUTH SCOTCH CHURCH.--On the forenoon of Sunday last a rather curious affair hap pened in the Rev. Mr. Gra n t' s c h urc h , T weedmouth, which is at present in connexion with the Established Church of Scotland. The Rev. Gentleman, after con cluding his sermon, notified his int en ti on o f l eaving that Church, having entered into an engagement to go out to India as a missionary of the Church of Scotland, at the same time urging the congregation to remain iu con nexion with the Established Church, and not to unite with either the Free Church of Scotland or English Pres byterian Church. After the pronouncing of the benedic • tion, Mr. Pearson, of Tweedmouth, who by his gestures during the service manifested great uneasiness, and an ar dent desire to speak, stood up and requested th e congrega tion to remain for a few moments, having so me thi ng of importance to commun icat e. Mr. G rant, with a few of the congregation, immediately left the chapel, but the majority remained to hear what the speaker had to say. He then urged the congregation not to allow themselves to be bound neck and heels to the Establishment by any minister. He himself was a supporter of the principles of the Free Church of Scotland, and would never allow himself to be handed over to any party the minister might choose; and he therefore would propo se t h at a congregational meeting be held, in order to decide as to which body application should be made for candidates to supply the place of Mr. Grant. This motion was se conded and agreed to; but Mr. P., while delivering his speech, was e n fr t e l e q m frequently s e being excited, t . ly i. r interrupted exc i h t yg , h ro: n d s ec a l n a d re hisses, and, that g he believed nine-tenths of the congregation were utterly ignorant of what they were about ! This lively meeting then broke up.—Berwick Warder.

ON MILITARY PUNISHMENTS. (Abridged from an article on Military Hygiene, in the London Medical Gazette for October.) To maintain due control in the British army, to check military delinquencies, and enforce obedience, it has been deemed expedient to employ terror-striking punishments of various kinds. When we look at the returns of punishments in flicted, it can hardly be concluded that the means hitherto adopted to promote discipline in the army have been very successful. On an average, about 20 per cent. of the troops serving in the colonies and fureign dependencies are annually convicted by the sentence of a court .martial, and punished. " Habitual drunkenness" constitutes about two-fifths of the whole number of convictions. "Desertion," and "absence without leave," are the most prevalent crimes among troops employed in Great Britain and Ireland. In 1839 no fewer than 2,110, being nearly equal to one fifth of the number of recruits annually raised, were convicted and punished for these two offences. The frequency of delinquencies in the army has been commonly attributed to the circumstance, that it is recruited from an inferior class of the population, by which means uneducated and low-born persons are admitted into the ranks. How far this surmise is well founded, it is difficult either to prove or to disprove. Considering, however, the unfavourable opinion entertained by the public in regard to the army, the onerous duties and thraldom of soldiers, and limited remuneration they receive for long and ardu ous services, I do not think a more prudent and better class of men are likely to become soldiers. The British army consists of two very distinct classes, namely, officcers and soldiers. One class is trained to command, and the other to obey—obedience being the most essential elements in military dis cipline. The crimes of soldiers chiefly arise from the con stitution of their profession. To disregard the verbal order of a commissioned officer, or even of a non commissioned officer—a corporal, for example—is in subordination, and renders a man as liable to be tried by a court-martial, and punished, as if he were to commit a breach of the Mutiny Act or the articles of war. Soldiers are also liable to be punished for con structive offences, such as alleged disrespect to a su perior officer. It is difficult, therefore, to escape from the net of military law, its meshes being closed against the exit of the minutest fry of delinquencies. A court-martial may sentence a soldier to suffer cor poral punishment, not extending, however, to " life or limb, for immorality, misbehaviour, and neglect of duty." The vague generalities of this article literally annul the benefits of a written code. Well-educated persons, individuals whose parents belong to a respectable class of society, and who have undergone careful moral training, find the thraldom and usages of the service as irksome, and are as liable to military " misbehaviour," as the uneducated and low-born class of soldiers ; perhaps they are, indeed, more liable to fail in respect to their immediate su periors, whose conduct they may consider arrogant or oppressive. When so much is left to the arbitrary will of officers, in regard to the delinquencies of soldiers, it will appear that the welfare and happiness, and I may add the efficiency, of a body of troops, will be greatly influenced by the discretion, good sense, humane dis position, and experience, of a commanding officer. Every one admits that the poor ought to be educated ; but it is of more importance that the rich—in other words, those in high station—should be well in structed ; for if their principles were right, and their practice wisely conducted, the institutions and cus toms of society would eventually be somewhat puri fied and improved. The doctrine of expediency, and the plea of custom, regulate weak minds ; and how ever well-intentioned routine commanding officers may be, they are liable greatly to abuse the power with which they are invested. Experience seems to prove, that crime is more effectually prevented in civil life by the diffusion of information, good moral training, kind treatment, and an easier mode of gaining a livelihood, than by the most severe punishments. May we not therefore presume, that offences may be prevented in the army much more effectually, by raising the character of soldiers, and by meliorating their condition—by making them, in fact, prefer the public service to the situation of labourers, or artisans in civil life—than by either corporal or mental punishment's ? It has been often observed, that extremely severe sentences, such as capital punishments, defeat their own object ; they certainly fail to prevent desertion. During the American war of 1813 desertions from our army to the United States were frequent ; and to prevent this, men who were caught in attempting to cross the boundary line were executed: six were shot in one day, but without any beneficial effect. In order to show with what indifference individuals met death, and by inference how little influence this punishment had in preventing crime, the particular circumstances which attended the execution of one man may be stated. " A private," says Colonel Campbell, then Brigade-Major of De Meuron's regi ment, " was to be executed. The troops were formed in three sides of a square ; at the other side, towards the forest, the grave was dug, and the coffin for the criminal to kneel upon was placed, as usual upon such occasions, beside it. The provost, with the firing party, escorting the prisoner, and with the band of the regiment at their head, playing the Dead March, entered the square—when, to my surprise, there proudly marched the prisoner, coolly smoking a cigar. Seeing the bad effects likely to result from such evident contempt of death, painful as it was to me, I called the provost, and ordered him to take away the cigar from him. On approaching the grave, the prisoner walked quietly but steadily forward, look e d into it, and turning round to me, said in French, 'lt will do.' He then walked up to his coffin ' • and before I was aware of what he was about, with his middle finger and thumb he measured its length, and turning round to me, he said in French, which his corps generally spoke, It will do also.' He refused to permit his eyes to be covered, pushing the provost aside, and exclaiming in French, lam a brave soldier, and have often looked death in the face, and shall not shrink from it now.' The provost made signs to him to kneel upon his coffin, but he replied, prefer standing, and shall do so firmly.' The party fired, and in an instant he ceased to exist."—(" A British Army as it was," &c., p. 95.) In illustration of the strictness of military law and military usages, when compared with the laws which regulate civil society, I have subjoined an account of the execution of a very remarkable man. Private Flanagan, regiment, was a fine-look ing soldier, about six feet one inch in height. He had excellent natural talents, and had received a tolerably good education. He had acquired a know ledge of Latin, and could speak the French language. When the regiment went to India, he was in a short time able to communicate with the natives in several of the languages of the country. Although Flanagan was a smart clever soldier, he was liable to c omm it slight breaches of military discipline, and his name was consequently sometimes entered in the defaulter books. Being a man of high spirit and violent temper, he could ill bear the reproaches of the adjutant, who repeatedly censured him for his irregularities. On one occasion he became so irritated with the rebuke he was receiving, that he impatiently pushed the ad jutant from him with the back of his arm. Flanagan wee forthwith tried by a court-martial for offering violence to the adjutant, and sentenced to suffer death. When the sentence was communicated to him, he simply observed that he thought the a war d of the court was severe. On the day of the execution he preserved the most remarkable firmness, and con ducted himself with the strictest decorum. The square having been formed, he, by permission, ad dressed the company to which he belonged. Having reached the fatal spot, the fort-adjutant commenced to read the proceedings of the court-martial ; but having lost self-possession, his tongue faltered, which being observed by Flanagan, he addressed him by saying, " I see, sir, that you are agitated ; pray allow me to read the proceedings for you." No notice was, of course, taken of this offer. He then begged that he should not be blindfolded, and that he might be permitted to give the word of command to the exe cution party ; both of which requests were granted. He finally gave the word of command, with as firm a voice as a sergeant-major is accustomed to do on a drill parade. Flanagan's untimely fate took place in June, 1828, at Trichinopoly! Another example, which occurred lately, on a foreign station, may be given for a similar purpose, namely, to illustrate the rigour and practice of military law. Private 11-, belonging to the regiment, was brought before the captain of his com pany for having been drunk, and ordered the trifling punishment of two or three days' drill, when he gently struck this officer's shoulder, exclaiming at the same time, " There is now death for me." The man in question was of highly respectable extraction, and a graduate of one of the English Universities. He drew up what he intended as a defence, but was dis suaded from the avowal of the sentiments and dis closires it contained, by some benevolent persons, who thought it might operate aFainst him. 4'4 purport ~.~[3e~nu ..n. Corporal inflictions were not then disgraceful, they being considered to possess an expiatory character. But this belief in the efficacy of flagellation and se vere fasts has long disappeared. Public opinion in our day brands the punished criminal with an almost indelible disgrace ; and perhaps the degrading cha racter of corporal punishment is more sensibly felt in the army than in civil life, owing to the circumstance that it is exclusively inflicted on private soldiers. Even those who defend the suitableness of flogging as a punishment, practically admit the degrading cha racter of the infliction, by refusing to take a whipped offender into the public service ; he is also liable to be refused employment in civil life. By this means, Prince Oscar inquires, "Is there not thus formed a class of Pariahs, or modern outlaws, who are obliged to -.consider themselves as being in a continued state of warfare with society ?" For a long time the cat-of-nine-tails has not been used in the British army except by the sentence of a court-martial, and in the presence of a medical officer. At what particular date the formality of a court-mar tial became essentially necessary, I have not learned. In a general order, which was issued in Canada on the 14th of November, 1759, it was announced that "any soldier that is found drunk will receive twenty lashes per day, until he owns where he got the liquor ; and his allowance of rum will be stopped for six weeks."—(" Historical Journal of the Campaign in North America," by Capt. Knox, rol. ii., p. 206.) No court-martial seems to have been required in carrying the above punishment into effect; and it is obvious that the cat was to be used as an instrument of torture, with the view of extracting evidence. Until 1837, there was no limitation to the extent of the sentence of a general court-martial; "bounds were not set to show the maximum of punishment ;" everything, in this respect, was left to the discretion of the court. The following is the largest amount of punishment which I have known inflicted upon a man for one and the same crime : In 1813 or 1814, when a wing of the Bengal Eu ropean regiment was stationed in the island of Am boyna, three men belonging to the corps were tried by a court-martial for marauding and ill-treating the natives. Each of the three men was sentenced to receive fifteen hundred lashes. A punishment parade being formed, and immediately after the reading of the sentence, one of the prisoners sprung forward, seized the drum-major's sword, and called upon the men in the ranks to come forward in his favour—a request to which they did not respond. He was forth with secured ; and having been lashed to the triangles, he received the whole amount of his sentence, fifteen hundred lashes well applied. The other two prisoners received each the same number, equally well inflicted. In the framing of laws rigor is necessary, b u t i n exe cuting them m erc y is essentially required. The converse appears to have obtained in the above cases, the punishment having been more severe than was war ranted by either former usage or express regulation. The prisoner who was first punished was subse quently tried for his mutinous conduct in the square of the corps, and having been condemned to death, the sentence was inflicted by his being shot with musk, .etry. USE OF SPIRITUOUS LIQUORS Mr. Joseph Sturge has published the following letter in justification of the firm of Joseph and Charles Sturge, corn-factors, Birmingham, not to sell barley for malting : To C. D., Corn Exchange, London. Birmingham, 11th Month, sth, 1844. Esteemed Friend,—Thy letter of the 4th ultimo has the following remark on the notice contained in our last Monthly Circular :—" The singular resolu tion you have come to, as to not selling malting bar ley, has been much canvassed here to-day. I regret it much, and the more so as I can discover no good and sound reason for it." This observation , and some other circumsta nces , i n d uce me to g i ve a further ex planation why this resolution was adopted, believing that thyself, and many other of our friends, though differing in opinion, will not condemn a course which results from a conviction of duty. Intemperance produces such an incalculable amount of vice and misery, that I consider it right N use my influence to promote the principles of total abstinence. This I feel the more bound to do, as nearly twenty years' personal experience, and much observation in this and other parts of the world, has convinced me that fermented _liquors are not necessary to health, and that those who refrain even from what is termed the moderate use of them, are in consequence capable of more bodily and mental exertion, and exempt from many maladies which afflict others. In accordance with these views, our firm has alto gether declined the sale of malt, or the supply of any grain to distilleries, and converted to other uses cellars which many years ago we let to wine and spirit-merchants. Our continuing to take commis sions for the sale and purchase of barley for the pur pose of malting, has for some years caused me much uneasiness; and I have recently been so fully con vinced that it is wrong to do so, that I must have withdrawn from our concern had it not been relin quished. The belief that we are responsible for the means of acquiring, as well as for the use we make of our property, and that we cannot exercise too rigid watchfulness over our own conduct, is compatible with perfect charity towards those who differ with us in opinion.—l am respectfully, JOSEPH STUItGE. IR .NTERIOR OF AN -ISII CittiN.—ln the winter time, when the inclemency of the weather is so great as to render it impossible for the inmates to endure the cold with open door, and they are-, consequently, obliged to shut it, the interior is so full of smoke that you cannot see a couple of feet before you. In the dark evenings, a stranger coming into one of these cabins would have some difficulty, unless the turf happen to he throwing out a large flame, to tell whether or not there were any fire in the pl ace . Th en th e fl oor, i f floor it may be called, of these wretched abodes, is well nigh as muddy as th e wall on the out s id e . Th e road, indeed, often has the advantage of the cabin ; for in a frosty night, or when the weather has not been rainy for seine time, the road is dry ; but the Irish peasant's cabin is perpetually in a muddy state. The potatoes are all washed OA the floor, and the quantity of water, in this and other ways, which is spilled on the floor, keeps it in a state of constant muddiness. Nor is this all : the cow, where there is one, and the pigs and poultry—invariable accompaniments to a cabin—all sleep, and eat, and drink, in the same place as the peasantry themselves. I leave the reader to imagine to himself what must be the condition of the interior of an Irish cabin, when it is thus no better than a menagerie on a miniature scale—the poor peasant him self being scarcely in a more favourable state than the animals by which he is surrounded. The inmates of the cabin—l mean the rational part of them—have seldom anything worthy the name of bod on which to lay them selves when they retire to rest. They lie down, like the pigs, or the dog, on the wet floor, partially protected, perhaps, from the effects of the damp by two or three pieces of board ; but more frequently by only a little straw. The whole family mingle together in the night time, without regard to those delicacies which distin guish the sexes even among the poorest classes in this country. But let me guard against being here mis understood: it is not the choice of the peasantry, but the necessity of the case—their cabins being exceed ingly small places—to which we are to ascribe this promiscuous association of the inmates, without distinc tion of age or sex, when they retire to rest. To the credit of the character of the Irish peasantry be it spoken, the results which some persons would anticipate from this, never, or very rarely, take place.— Impressions of Ireland and the Irish. Mr. Long, the Vice-regal coachmaker, has filed a de claration in the Court of Common Pleas against Mr. Barrett., proprietor of the Pilot, one of the traversers in the late State prosecution, for a publication in that journal charged as libellous and defamatory. Altho ug h the paragraph which for ms th e su bj ect of action wus a mere political squib, Mr. Long has laid his damages at 2,0001. ! The obnoxious publication was a commentary upon a statement in a Tory paper, friendly to Mr. Long, describing the visit of Lord Heytesbury, the Lord- Lieutenant, to the coach factory of the plaintiff, in Mary street, in this city. The Pilot suggested that the politics of Mr. Long might procure for him the patronage of the Viceroy, in preference to other manufacturers of less decided political opinions. The case is to be tried in the sittings after the present term, in the Common Pleas, before Chief Justice Do herty and a special jury. APPOINTMENT OF MR. ERLE—TORY DISCONTENT. The Irish Tory organs of all shades appear unani mous in condemnation of the late appointment of Mr. Erie to the bench. The Londonderry Sentinel, the principal organ of the ultra-Tories, winds up a long article by saying "The Conservatives of Ireland have been more disheartened by the cold and contumelious manner in which they have been treated since the pre sent Administration came into office than they were by the rampant insolence of Whig-Radicalism while it dis pensed its favours in Ireland at the beck of Mr. O'Con nell, and endeavoured to prostrate the time-honoured institutions of the empire." MUNSTER DINNER TO MR. O'CONNELL. Mr. Smith O'Brien, M.P., is to preside at the dinner to be given to Mr. O'Connell, in Limerick, on the 20th inst. The Limerick Reporter of yesterday says--" No thing can equal the enthusiasm that prevails throughout the entire province for the forthcoming demonstration. The mayors and corporations of Limerick, Cork, Clon- • mel, Waterford, Cashel, and Kilkenny will appear in their robes ; and the town commissioners of Ennis, Mallow, Nenagh, and Galway will be also in attendance. The procession on the occasion will be the grandest and most imposing imaginable." THE ORDER OF ST. PATRICK. The Evening Packet (Government gigan) of last night says—" We have reason to believe 4at tie vacant ribbon of St. Patrick, worn by the latai itrquis of Donegal, has been conferred upon that e scholar the Earl of Rosso." THE BANK OF ENGLAND. We mentioned last Thursday, as the result of the meeting of the Court of Directors held on that day, that the Bank of England was about to charge a commission on the sums remitted to various parts of the country by means of the branches. We are now enabled to give a detailed account of the system of charge which will b© adopted, and which is based on the principle that parties keeping an account with the Bank, or its branches, should have a preference over strangers. First, with respect to remittances,—till sums advised for the credit of a person having a drawing account at -the Bank, or a branch, are to be subject to a charge of 6d. per cent., the miniinum charge to be Is., and every fraction of 1031. to be considered as an entire 1001.111 Thus 2001. will pay is., and 3001. will pay is. 6d., 4004 will pay 25., and so on. Secondly, with respect to payments.—Where neither the party lodging the money nor the party receiving has an account, the charge will be i per cent. on sums not exceeding 5001., the minimum charge being 2s. 6d. On sums exceeding 5004, but not exceeding 3,0001., the charge will be 4 per cent. on the first 5001., and e per cent. on the remainder. When the sums exceed 3,000/. there will be the above charge for 3,000/., and ls. 6d. on the excess. If, on the other hand, the party lodging the money have an account, the commission on sums under 100/. will be 2s. 6d. per cent., the minimum charge being Is. On sums of 1001., and under 3001, the charge will be 4s. 6d. per cent.; on sums of 300/., and not exceeding 3,0001., it will be Is. sd. per cent. ; and on sums exceed ing 3,0001., it will be Is. per cent. The measure will, it is understood, come into opera• tion on Monday next.—Times. SOUTII DEVON RAILwAT.--CAPITAL.---Mr, Charles Bretton took out a certificate at the Castle, on Friday, that all the capital of the South Devon Railway Com pany had been bona fide subscribed. Mr. Princeps, the secretary, produced evidence of the fact, which must be satisfactory to the county.— Western Times. THE WEATHER IN SCOILAND.—The weather has hitherto been most favourable for farming operations. The fields are now clear of their last season's crops, with the exception of turnips, which are still growing as if it was the month of January. The autumn-sown wheat is in most instances beautifully brairded " And ploughmen, oure weel-furrow'd fields, At auld Scottish ditties sing cheerly. Ploughing and firming are in rapid progress, and well forward for the season. These remarks will apply not only to the country around Paisley, but also to the neigh bouring parishes, thro ug h w hi c h we h ave passed within these few days.—Glasgow National. WiLeens.—On Monday morning a whale was found near the shore at Rosneath, and towed in by a fisherman. On the opposite shore another made its ap pearance, and, being sickly like its fellow, was soon caught. The fishermen, being afraid of the claim naadct by the landlords in the whale eases, prudently anchored the fish, to prevent the landlord claiming anything of the prize. This monster of the deep was no sooner secured than a gentleman offered to buy it, and whether the bar gain was eventually concluded or not we cannot say, as our informant left ere the parties could agree. The whales were from twenty-five to thirty feet in length.— Glasgow paper. LONDON FRIENDLY INSTITUTIOII.-011 Monday this Society, which has for its objects the providing of the industrious classes of the metropolis with a weekly payment and medical attendance and medicine free in case of illness, upon their contributing a sun in time of health, held its annual meeting at the George Hall, Al dernaanbury, City. It was formed in 1824, and enrolled agreeably to Act of Parliament, its main object being to carry into effect the principle of benefit societies upon a solid and permanent basis, by means of an improved plan of management. The twenty years which have elapsed since the formation of the Institution hare fully established the justice of its claims. Since its establish ment to the close of last year, above 14,500/. had been paid to its afflicted members, besides providing medical attendance and medicines free ; and it has now a re served surplus invested in Government securities, and a floating capital (solely the property of the members, and not liable to any cle2ons of annuitants) which amounts to more than 6,000/. John Masterman, Esq., M.P. for the City, took the chair, supported by Dr. Blackmore, S. Elison, Esq., C. Brady, Esq., Dr. Bainbridge, and a great number of other gentlemen. The report, which was read by Mr. Joseph Palmer, stated that the Society was going on most prosperously; had received daring the year, no less a sum than 8,4421. Bs. 4d., and had a balance in hand, free of all charges, of 6,2934 113. sd. The number of members now was 1,409 ; there being 710 members for sickness and death benefits united, 622 for sickness, 70 for death, and 7 for endowments. The report was carried unanimously. Eight new Directors were appointed by ballot. The chair was taken by Al derman Challis during the latter part of the evening, in consequence of Mr. Masterman being obliged to !olive .1 and votes of thanks were then passed to both chairmm, and to the medical officers, which was responded to by all present. Arrangements being made for the members dining together during the ensuing closed. year, the meeting AWfULLY SUDDEN DEAT/To.-The Rev. Rowland who has been residing at ;lowness, Windermere, for the last three months, was; suddenly taken ill in the shop of Mrs. R. Barrow, araper and grocer of that place, about half-past twelve on Thursday, wLen with great difficulty he was carried into an adjoining room, and he was attended immediately by two medical men, but ex pired in about half an hour. On Friday an inquest was held at the Royal Hotel, Bowness, beforo R. Wilson, Esq., coroner. After the evidence was taken, the jury returned a verdict that the deceased died from some in ward fit. SAVINGS' BANKS.—It is believed that some parties well conditioned in life have i nveste d money in more than ono savings' bank, and which they know is con trary to the law. We believ e a very strict eye will now be kept upon depositors, and if any are discovered having investments in more than one bank for savings, they will have no cause to complain in having to forfeit their money. .These are the p ar ti es who ought not to have deposited in those institutions, which were established for the humble classes, and it is a groat discredit to those who have committed the abuses they have done. We know of one savings' bank where the trustees and ma nagers intend, after the 20th of the present month, to g i ve those parties wh o oug h t not to have deposited a notice to withdraw their investments. Very proper discontent is already manifesting itself (as was expected would be interest, the ease), in co nsequence o f t h e reduction of which is to take place after the 20th instant.
