"We regard the work before us, the Silent Friend,' as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by a majority of the me dical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must however confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."—Age and Argus. The authors of the ' Silent Friend' seem to be thoroughly con versant with the treatment of a class of complaints, which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to recommend to it a careful perusal."—Era.

SAFFRON WALDEN.—In addition to two maiden sessions in this borough in the past year, we have plea sure in recording that a third—the Epiphany Sessions, has also proved a maiden one, there not being a single prisoner for trial. The Mayor (George Youngman, Esq.), accompanied by the members of the town coun cil, proceeded on M on d a y l as t t o th e T own -h a ll , an d there adjourned the sessions, according to law, grati fied, we doubt not, that the year of his mayoralty has commenced so favourably, since the satisfaction is so much greater in preventing crime than in punishing it. —Essex Herald, The works on this line are so far completed as to be ready for the laying of the rails. It starts from the Woking station of the South -Western Railway, in a southerly course, is six miles in length, and has been constructed by Mr. Giles, the engineer, and Messrs. Treadwell, the contractors. Originally projected as art independent line, it has n ow f a ll en , b y purc h ase for 75,0001., int o he hands of the South-Western Company, who propose to make it the trunk to their Guildford, Chichester, and Portsmouth extension, recommended by the Board of Trade. The Guild ford line, amongst other objects, was originally pro jected with a view to its becoming the first experi mental line in this country of the wooden railway system, but the transfer of it to the South-Western, who, on idemnifying the patentee, are to lay down a single line on the iron system, will preclude the carrying out the proposed experiment. The South- Western take possession as soon as the rails are laid, and the works become consolidated. They will have to apply to Parliament in the ensuing session for an Act to confirm the purchase. The distance between Woking and Guildford will be accomplished in a quarter of an hour, and the line, to be worked by the South-Western, is expected to be opened in the be ginning of April. CAMBRIDGE AND LINCOLN.--A memorial to the Board of Trade in favour of this line was sent from Lincoln on Saturday last, containing the signatures;of 400 tradesmen and merchants. There were not more than a dozen parties who refused to give their assent. —Boston Herald.

LONDON AND NORWICH DIRECT.—This line, in the direction of Bury St. Edmund's, will pass over a portion of the Ickworth property, the Marquis of Bristol having expressed his desire to afford every facility to the company.

BRIDGE OVER THE SWALE.—It is contemplated, in connection with the North Kent line to Sheerness, to erect a bridge over the Swale.—Maidstone Gazette, RAILWAY COMMUNICATION FOR THE POTTERIES.— An important memorial from the:committee appointed at the public meeting in the Potteries on the 30th December last, has been presented to the Board of Trade, by Mr. Alderman Copeland, M.P. It de scribes the want of railway accommodation in the Potteries, and gives a decided opinion that " the branch " from Basford to Crewe, and " the branch " from Stoke to Stafford, for which the Grand June- tion and Trent Valley Companies have respectively given notice, will not meet the wants or wishes of that populous mining and manufacturing district, and that an extension of the Trent Valley line from Col wich, along the Valley of the Trent to Stoke, and from thence to Crewe, will alone be satisfactory. The memorialists therefore pray the Board of Trade not to sanction the proposed branches, and to suspend their sanction to the Valley line until 1846, by which time they pledge themselves that a new Company shall be formed to apply to Parliament for an Act to construct a direct line through the Potteries from Rugby to Crewe.—Chester Courant. IRISH LINES. KINGSTOWN AND BRAY.—On Saturday the Direc tors of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway met as the Provisional Committee for constructing a line from Kingstown to Bray. The capital to be 200,0001. in 4,000 shares of 501. each; 2,000 of these shares to be appropriated to the Shareholders of the Kingstown Railway in proportion to their interests, and the re mainder to be placed at the disposal of the committee of distribution. The Dalkey line is to be purchased by the new Company at its cost price, 35,0001. The plans and sections have been lodged in the proper offices of the Board of Trade, and all the necessary , notices served. Messrs. Pim and Bergin were ap pointed joint secretaries to the committee. The line is intended to be worked on the atmospheric prin ciple, but so laid out that locomotive power can be employed.—lrish Railway Gazette. IRISH GREAT WESTERN.—At a numerous meeting, of the inhabitants of Boyle, county Roscommon, just held, to consider the best means of obtaining railway communication between Boyle and Dublin, it was resolved on the motion of Captain Duckworth, se conded by Captain Robertson, that the construction of a line from Dublin to Mullingar, with branches to Athlone and Longford, would intersect the country fairly with reference to the western port of Galway, and the north-western port of Sligo; and confer essential benefit on that rich and fertile district. On the motion of Dr. Wallace, seconded by Mr. J. Bromell, a memorial to the Board of Trade was unanimously adopted, requesting that body to re commend the proposed Great Western line from Dublin to Mullingar, with branches to Athlone and Longford, as best calculated to promote the interests of the central, western, and north-western divisions of Ireland. The memorialists set forth that the pro posed line will be best adapted to benefit the western seaports of Sligo and Galway, bring Cork with in an equal distance of Dublin, and give facility at a future period for carrying branches to both towns. They regard, they intimate, with jealousy and distrust the operations of a rival Company, styling itself the Great 'Western Railway, and apparently got up to frustrate the project above-named, but profess ing, only to run from Portarlington to Galway, thereby only benefiting a small portion of the West of Ireland, and that the poorest district, and leaving out the richest portion of the centre of Ireland west ward, the mining districts of Leitrim, and the town and port of Sligo. They express themselves per suaded that there is not sufficient traffic to support two lines through the centre of western Ireland, and strenuously recommend the carrying out of the pro posed comprehensive project between Dublin, Mul linger, Athlone, and Longford. At a similar meet ing held at Carrick-on-Shannon, county Leitrim, resolution's expressive of the benefits to be derived from the proposed line, and condemnatory of the Portarlington project, via Ballinasloe to Galway, were unanimously adopted ; together with a memo rial to the Board of Trade, bearing the signatures of the most extensive landed proprietors in Leitrim. The sum proposed to bel expended on railways in Ireland is 8,315,0001. The deposits, however, do not exceed 411,7501. TVaterford _ _ CONTINENTAL LINES. The works on the Boulogne and Amiens line, be tween the latter town and Abbeville, have been com mended. Mr. Love, who was employed on th e R ouen railway, has just been appointed to the Boulogne line as engineer, and is about to urge on the wor k s a t that end. The statutes of this company have at last been sent from the hands of the Minister of Public Works to the Council of State. The company w hi c h had been formed for constructing a railroad between Rouen and Caen, has came to an understanding with the Rouen Railroad Company, which has agreed to carry out the undertaking. When the line is exe cuted, the intercourse between Paris and the capital of Lower Normandy will be most direct and satis factory.—The Strasburg and Bale Company are at present getting surveys made of the ground between Sarrebruck and Sarrebourg. The intention is to construct a branch line from the form er p l ace to t h e main trunk, in order to bring the prod uce o f i ts coa l mines into Alsace. As these mines at pre sen t su p p l y to the manufacturing establi▪ shments of th e Il au t an d Bas Rhin, the carriage of this article wou ld ten d to materially increase the receipts of the company.— The Courrier de Lyons announces that th e Mi nis t er of Public Works has definitively adopted the line of the valley of the Oze as the route which the Paris and Lyons line is to take.—The works of the Tours and Nantes line are to commence immediately in the department of the Loi▪ re - Inferieure. A credit of 600,000 f. had been already advanced to the head engineer, by the State, and a se con d one o f 800,000 f. has just been given from the b u d get o f 1 846. —The Central Railroad Company, alth oug h no t yet legally authorised, is busy in preparing its stock. Five locomotives for the transport. of goods h av e b een ordered from MM. Schneider, Freres, of Creuzot, and a similar number for passengers, from MM. J. J. Meyer, of Mulhauscn. It is the last- name d engine makers who have received orders fro m th e Govern , ments of Baden and Bavaria, and also, it is said, from ' Austria.—A meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of Cherbourg was held a few days hack, for the pur pose of considering what line would prove most advis able for a railroad communication between Cherbourg and Paris. Some persons having recommended Alen con as the best intermediate town (with a branch to the Rennes line), and others Caen (to join the Rouen line), the meeting eventually declared in favour of the latter. The line by Alencon was rejected because it increased the distance considerably, and, conse quently, would be snore expensive in carriage of goods and passengers; and because the traffic with Rouen was far greater than with Alencon. The vicinity of .Alenc;on to the coal districts of the Loire did not seem to the meeting of sufficient weight to counter balance the other points in favour of the snore direct line, and resolutions were accordingly passed in favour of the line by Caen and Rouen.—The Direc tors of the Marseilles and Avignon Railroad Com pany have sent in to the Minister of Public Works a tender for the execution and working of the line from Avignon to Lyons. The capital of the intended Company is provisionally fixed at eighty millions of francs, divided into 160,000 of 500 f. each. The Di rectors of the Marseilles and Avignon line being of opinion that, from the advantageous influence which both the lines ought reciprocally to exercise on each other, it will be useful to concentrate the two Com panies as much as possible, have decided that the above capital shall be distributed at the rate of two shares for one to the subscribers of the Marseilles and Avignon Company of August 8, 1843, and two shares for one to the present Shareholders of the said Com pany. Such persons as still hold the original shares may increase their rights, and will have the faculty of receiving four shares fur one. Each subscriber is to pay in the twentieth part of his subscription. DIEPPE AND PARIS.---Three different surveys for lines have been made by this Company, viz.—the mountain, the tunnel, and the valley lines. The longest is 43 miles; the shortest 36. MONTPELLIER AND NISMES.—This line was opened on the 9ch inst. BERLIN.—The Berlin line direct to Konigsberg will cost 36,000,000 thalers, or 5,000,000/. sterling. The Austrian Government has resolved to extend the Great Northern line to Bochnia. It is said that the Prussian Government has resolved to impose a tax on the gross receipts of the various lines, and to look upon time bargains in foreign shares as upon dealings in Spanish bonds, i. e., as illegal. GAME FOR THE MILLION. (From Punch.) We have received the following letter from a Duke who preserves his game for the benefit of his fellow creatures. We think we ought to charge it as an ad vertisement ; but as we give it free insertion, we trust that the Stamp-office will also view it with an eye of tenderness : " Mr. Punch,—l address you, as through you I can most readily get at the world at large. I beg to offer to the middling and working classes a prime assortment of game, at the following low charges ; having resolved— although a peer of the realm—to compete with any poulterer, whoever he may be, in the moderate price of my articles : s. d. " A prime hare 2 6 " A pheasant 3 0 " Partridges (the brace) .... 2 3 " These charges will, I trust, be received as an over whelming evidence of my desire to meet the distresses of the poor, and to bring game down to the lowest ca pacity of pocket. lam honestly enabled to put in the above articles at the prices affixed—as the animals cost me scarcely anything for keep—they being principally fed upon the wheat, oats, and barley, of my tenant farmers.—l remain your obedient servant, " NORMANBLOOD. "P.S.—The highest price given for hare-skins." HISTORY OF A COINER. (From the Leicester Chronicle.) We have mentioned in our Town-hall police re port, for Monday last, the committal of the woman Mulhern, alias Lockwood, on a charge of coining and uttering counterfeit coin ; and we now proceed to give some particulars of her truly eventful history, with which Mr. Powell, the solicitor to the Mint, has obligingly furnished us. The first that is known of her is as the wife of a soldier serving under Sir John Moore in Spain, and whom she " followed to the field"—trudging along with the army and its gallant leader through its long and remarkable retreat, till the battle of Corunna. After this she was with the army under " the Duke," in Portugal, and during the whole of the Peninsular war, whether merely as a camp-follower, or with her husband, is not known ; but he is supposed to have been killed in some one of the many engagements that took place, and she to have consoled herself with another, if not many more. In one engagement with the enemy, the sergeant-major of the regiment she followed was killed by a shot; on which (while it is imagined the engagement still continued) she contrived to get at the body, and rifle the dead man's " kit" of its con tents. Among these were his marriage and other certificates, which she carefully concealed and pre served for after use. On returning home she passed herself off as the widow of this sergeant-major, in order to obtain a pension ' • and afterwards, on a nurse's place in Ch e l sea Hospital becoming vacant, she ap plied for and obtained it, also as the sergeant-major's widow ; having all the necessary documents, she was enabled to answer every question, and her identity was never doubted. But, when she had been com fortably located here for some time, the real widow came home! Her application for a pension, its denial on the ground that the widow was already provided for, and the real widow's reiterated assertions that she was the widow, caused an investigation by the late Sir Charles Grant. The result was, that Biddy was turned adrift on the " wide wide world," and was lost sight of for several years. ller first reappearance was in the character of a coiner, as which she was tried and convicted in 1828, and sentenced to a year's im prisonment. In 1834 she was again tried ; but this time under the name of Lockwood, and in company with her second husband, whose real name, however, was Stafford, and who was a very skilful mason by trade. He was convicted, and she was then ac quitted, as being his wife, and supposed to be acting under his direction. In 1836 she was con victed at Aylesbury for coining, and she then said she was 55 years of age. She was again tried for the same offence at Warwick, in 1838, but ac quitted, owing to insufficiency of evidence; and in July of the same year she was again tried, and this time in connexion with a woman named Perceval, the offence being the same. Lockwood (prisoner) got eighteen months' imprisonment, and her companion twelve months. From that time till the present apprehension of Mrs. Mulhern, alias Lockwood, &c., Mr. Powell had almost entirely lost sight of her ; sometimes he thought he recognised her business talent in the dif ferent cases forwarded to him, but was not able to follow out the clue. In the answers she now gave to the questions contained in the " Descriptive Paper," prisoner had in almost every case given false state ments, not wishing doubtless.to renew her acquaint ance with the Mint solicitor; and when confronted with him, she stoutly denied all previous knowledge of Mr. Powell, till he mentioned one or two "pas sages" in her life, when she said, "Ah told you that tale." In 1828, Lockwood (her husband) was convicted at the Surrey assizes of coining, &c., and sentenced to one year's imprisonment. In 1833 he was con victed at Warwick, and sentenced to six months' im prisonment. The following year he was tried and convicted at Stafford, and sent to gaol for one year. For the next three years little or nothing was heard of him; but in 1838 he was tried at Warwick, where he got three months' imprisonment; and in January, 1839, he was tried at Gloucester, and sentenced to a year's imprisonment. Lastly, he was apprehended at Abingdon in the following, or the year after that, with a woman of the name of Harriet Thompson— whom he had taken to supply the place of his wife, on her being sent to prison for eighteen months and on the 25th of January he was transported for life, and she (Thompson) was imprisoned for two years. Ann Lockwood, if we recollect aright, was not actually aware of her husband's fate till she saw Mr. Powell in Leicester gaol. At the expiration of her term a subscription was raised to enable the woman Thompson to follow her " husband" to Syd ney, and she arrived there safely. In October last the governor of Abingdon gaol had received a letter from her, stating that " James " (Lockwood or Thompson) was regularly employed by the chief builders at Sydney, and at good wages ; while she had also obtained profitable employment. He, it seems, is very clever as a workman in Gothic archi tecture, and at cutting out grotesque heads and other ornaments for churches. INDISPOSITION OF MR. COAIMISSIONEE BULLOCK. — On Wednesday information was received at the Sheriffs' Court-office of the severe indisposition of Mr. Com missioner Bullock, the Judge of the Sheriffs' Court. In consequence, the trials appointed to have taken place yes terday are postponed until the next Court day, in Fe ' bruary next. Thinking the above may bc interesting to you, for the information of the public, I am, Sir your faithful servant, GEORGE WANSEY., Sec. 3, Moorgate-street, London, Jan. 22, 1845. (Copy.) 3, Moorgate-street, London, Jan. 21, 18.1, Sir,—The City of London Mercantile Committee on Postage have great satisfaction in forwarding to you a copy of resolutions passed by them in March last, accompanied by a cheque for 10,0001., part of the amount raised in carrying out the object therein re ferred to. The Committee reserve, till a future opportunity, the pleasure of making a more public presentation of the fruits of their labours, as in many parts of the kingdom the efforts of their friends are yet incom plete, and as they hope to add considerably to the amount already subscribed by continuing their exer tions.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, GEORGE LARPENT, Chairman. Rowland Hill, Esq. At a meeting of " the City of London 'Mercantile Committee on Postage," held at the Jerusalem Coffee-house, Cornhill, on Tuesday, March 12, 1844, Sir George Larpent, Bart., in the chair, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : " 1. That this Committee, observing a general feeling to exist that the important services rendered by Mr. Rowland Hill are deserving of remuneration, do take the necessary measures to accomplish that object. -" 2. That a public subscription be raised for Mr. Rowland Hill, the author of the ' Penny Postage,' as a testimonial to his ingenuity and perseverance in having devised a scheme of legislation upon this im portant subject, which is so well calculated to give increased facilities to our internal trade, and to pro duce so many beneficial results to the general inter course of society. (Signed) " G. LARPENT, Chairman and Treasurer." (Copy) London, Jan. 21, 1845. Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the re ceipt of your letter of this day's date, enclosing a copy of resolutions passed by the City of London Mercantile Committee on Postage in March last, together with a cheque for 10,C00/. As the Committee intimate their intention at some future period of making a public presentation of the fruits of their labours, I would respectfully request permission to defer till such time all attempt to ex press my obligations to themselves (my fellow labourers in the cause of Post-office improvement), and the feelings of pride and gratitude with which I accept so splendid a proof of the sympathy and appro bation of my countrymen.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, Sir G. Larpent, Bart., &c. ROWLAND HILL. THE FRENCH CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. If we were not actual witnesses, through our daily reports, of the debate which is now going on in the Chamber of Deputies, such a proceeding would ap pear altogether incredible and impracticable in a grave legislative assembly. The avidity of the speeches, the deficiency of truth or interest in the well-worn themes, the rambling character of the debate, and the inconclusive arguments of the speakers sufficiently disclose the extraordinary fact that all this talking is, in reality, about nothing at all. It so happens, for the misfortune of aspirants for Parliamentary fame on either side of the Chamber, that there is no one topic of general policy to be more fully elucidated by Mi nisterial statements, or combated by anti-Ministerial arguments. The only two events which have given rise to questions of any political interest since the prorogation in August last are long since terminated and disposed of ; a great deal will unquestionably be said about them, but nothing more can be either done or undone. The Government will, of course, be cen sured by one party and applauded by the other; but the questions on which these demonstrations will be made to rest are happily defunct. Morocco and Otaheite are for the present consigned to the tender keeping of the Annual Register for 1844 ; and we trust it will not be in the power of angry factions to revive any portion of the irritation produced last autumn by the occurrences themselves. As the peace of Europe survived the reality of that shock, we pre sume that it will not be affected by the echo of a re port : and we hold it to be beyond the reach of eloquence or ingenuity to impart a fresh interest to the past details of these subjects. To make the ab stract character of this discussion still more pro minent, it appears that the only question which the Chamber professes seriously to entertain is the pro and the con of what is termed the English alliance. But, as was very ably put by the Duke de Brozlie in his temperate and masterly speech on the address in the other Chamber, it happens that as there is not at the present moment any serious question of European policy which calls for the military or diplomatic interference of foreign Powers —as, in fact, the whole machinery of inter national relations is at a stand-still, except as far as private interests are concerned, there is, in fact, no such thing as an alliance, in the proper meaning of the word. The experience we have had on some former occasions of the fidelity of France to the con ventions in which she has taken a part may, or may not encourage us, whenever an occasion shall arise, to seek for her co-operation in preference to that of other nations, or other nations may think fit to asso ciate themselves with England and France. But it is preposterous, at a moment when no human being can predict when such an occasion will occur, or of what nature it will he, to pledge ourselves to the mainte nance of an abstract principle, which will be shattered in an instant when it is opposed by a positive conflict •of interests. We are perfectly willing, and even anxious, to remain on the best terms with France, and we appreciate at its just value the fortunate posi tion of our own country, which enables it to main tain the relations of an equally good understanding with both the great sections of Continental States ; but we esteem ourselves no less fortunate that no impending danger or public agita• tion compels us to take part at the pre sent moment with the one against the other. As far, then, as the English alliance is concerned, the conflict in the Chamber of Deputies is a mere fight of shadows ; for the politics of the world are not governed by general propositions, but by the exi gencies of each case and the rules of public duty. All this debate, which will probably last a fortnight, and occupy the Chamber till the fifth week of the session has slipped away, is but the empty prelude to one act of importance. Is the present Administration to remain at the head of affairs? or is it to make way for a long Ministerial interregnum, filled up by plots and counter-plots of every kind, and terminated by the accession to office of a heterogenous cabal, who will strive to ape the policy of the men they have defeated? The vote on the Address will decide the matter for the 'present; and, although the result is still very uncertain, the adherents of the Government are far more confident of success than its opponents, and the balance seems to incline in favour of its con tinuance in office.—Times. THE CHARGE AGAINST DR. PENFOLD.—On Sun day morning Dr. Billfold took occasion to advert in his sermon to the recent charge brought against him in the Marylebone vestry, which he had so satisfactorily re futed. He took his text from the 24th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th verses—" And herein do I exercise myself, to have al ways a conscience void of offence towards God and to wards man. Now, after many years, I come to bring alms to my nation, and offerings. Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude nor with tumult, who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had aught against me. Or else let these here say, if they have found any evil doing in me while I stood before the council." The Rev. Gentleman, with great feeling, made several strong allusions to the painful position in which he had been placed, and his address appeared to produce great effect upon his hearers. FATAL ACCIDENT AT ASTLET'S AMPHITHEATRE.-- On Monday evening last a fatal accident occurred on the stage of this theatre to one of the supernumeraries, named William Blake, aged 38. The pant om i me of Johnny Gilpin was in the course of performance, and in representingaJew,s b om ein e g lo o t n h e e , s l s v h er o e p, to a number one o f its of scenes supernumeraries, deceased be seen making purchases within. As each came out a trick was played up on hi m by the Clown (Barry) and the Pantaloon (Bradbury) holding a rope, which crossed the door, and which tripped up each purchaser at his exit. The deceased did not make his calculation for an easy fall, and in consequence tumbled violently over, and fell fiat with great force on the stage. The fall forced the metall ic part of a truss that ho wore into the lower part of the a bd omen, caus i ng internal injuries, of which de ceased died on Wednesday at his residence , Plea sant-place, Hi g h- s t reet , L am b et h , l eav i ng a widow and seven young children unprovided for. " I NEW MERCHANT SEAMEN'S ACT' Since the Act to amend and consolidate the laws rs lating to merchant seamen, and for keeping a re gi of seamen, has come into operation, a great lit imber of foreigners have applied to the registrar or th e port of London for register tickets, which have ha ?n in every case refused, the new law only autho fit ing the registrar to register seamen being subjects of . her Majesty. It is pei haps not generally known -the t foreign seamen comprise about one-fifteenth of our mercantile marine, and the new law has placed the.i in a very awkward position. They cannot obeain register tickets from the office, and masters of p 5 must not take them to sea without one, believinF, if tt; hey do, that they are liabl e t o h eavy pena lti es . Th is belief is founded in error. The 2d section of the 7th an l Bth Victoria, cap. 112, enacts that no master sL 1 1 carry to sea any seaman being a subject of her Nig..,:esty until he shall have first obtained his register t:•icke t, which he is authorised to retain until the ter mination of the voyage. The 4th section imposes a pet rainy of 101. on any master of a ship carrying out roes any seaman being a subject of ler without, first obtaining his register ticket. The 20.11 section enacts that any person being a sub .; ec t of her Majesty, intending to serve on las wd any ship, shall provide himself with a re gis ter ticket ; and for that purpose to apply per son ally at the General Register and Record-office of Se~ ;men in Londorr r or the custom-houses of the several outports of the United Kingdom. It will be seat), therefore, that the .new Merchant Seamen's Act only applies to subjects alter Majesty, and that there is ,nothing to prevent the hiring of foreigners as here to& ire. On 1\ ednesday two foreigners applied to Mr. Tiro derip, at the Thames Police-curt, for a summons ag , , L.lst the registrar of British seamen for refusing to registrar them. One of the applicants stated that he „ cm a ~ eaman, that he was born at Hamburgh, and h a d h en ,' for twenty-nine years sailing in English ; hi ps. A. great part of that time had been spent in the service' of the East India C ompany • he haa mar ,ll wife, by who m h e h a d five childt:en, ried an nigh, and when he tivs: s ashore he liv e d w ith h er in London.- The last Britith ship he sailed in was the barque Newton, Captain Dixon, and that gentleman had furnished him with a flattering testimonial of good conduct, sobriety, and stt,adiness. He had applied to the registrar to send him a ticket, which he refused to do, because he was not a British subject, but be con sidered himself a British seaman to all intents and purposes, and had adopted England as his country. He had obtained a ship which was a b ou t t o sail from London to Sydney, but the master would not take him unless he was registered and would produce his ticket.. A Swedish seamen next applied to the magistrate, and: his case was a stronger one than the last. He had been away from his native country for forty-six years, and had served in the Royal Navy of Great Britain for thirty years, and in English merchant-ships for sixteen more, and considered he was entitled to a register ticket. Without one he could not obtain another berth, and as to returning to the land of his birth, where he knew no one, it was quite out of the ques tion. Mr. Broderip did not think he had any power to interfere. The only question was, whether the . applicants were British subjects or denizens. Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, and author of the work, " The Law relating to Merchant Seamen," said the Magistrate could not interfere with the registrar of British seamen, who was an officer under the control of the Lords of the Admiralty, and that he had no power to issue tickets to those who were not subjects of her Majesty. The applicants seemed very much troubled at the answer to their applications, and said they must starve, if no ship-masters would engage them. The desire of foreign seamen to register under the new law is very great—the pay in the British service is greater, and the supply of provisions Imre ample, than can be obtained in any foreign vessels. It is a well-known fact that many foreigners, who have been acting as seamen in British ships for many years, have registered themselves as subjects of her Majesty, and obtained their tickets. MASONIC BALL. Wednesday a grand masonic ball, in aid of the funds of the Asylum for worthy aged and decayed Freemasons, took place in Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen-street. This fraternity has long since passed the rubicon of pub lic opinion ; to be a free and accepted Mason is to possess a welcome passport in every quarter of the civilised world. It is, therefore, peculiarly grat,if i ying to find that the asylum fund from year to year continUes to accumu late and prosper. Through many " lets and hindrances " Dr. Cruectix, the founder, has had the satisfaction of seeing the good work proceed to completion. The offspring of our poorer brethren alone shall not be cared for ; the aged and indigent members also demand our sympathy. These feelings prompted the founder of the asylum fund ; last night he and the other promoters of it had a gratifying triumph in the number and brilliancy of the company attending the ball. Among those pre sent were the Spanish Minister, Dr. Lane (President), Brothers Shaw, Hodgkinson, Field, Aspull, Bacon, Barnes, Comins, Crucefix, &c. Dancing, under the able superintendence of Brothers Carlin and Marriott, who acted as masters of the cere :aoni,.:..s, commenced about nine o'clock, with the pretty quadrille from Don Pasquale; then followed Quadrille, II Giuramk.nto—Lancers, Prince of Wales— Quadrille, L'Espagnole— Caledonians —La Polka and waltz—Quadrille, Cracovienne—Quadrille, Lea Gondo liers—Spanish dance, Double Pousette—Quadrille, Royal Irish—Quadrille, Jullien's English—Cal e d on i ans , New music —Quadrille, Le Postillon—Le Polka and Galope, Cerrito and Striaiss—Quadrille, Bohemian Girl—Lancers , Adams—Quadrille, 'ate de Bronze—Quad r ill e , N ew Scotch—Spanish Dance, Light of other Days—Quadrille, Antiques, Vocal Finale—Country dance, Sir Roger. do Coverly. The celebrated band of Mr. Adams performed during the evening with its accustomed ability. About midnight there could not have been fewer than 350 ladies and gentlemen present; the former brilliant in the ex treme, and there being a very numerous attendance of officers, most of whom wore their jewels and badges, the ensemble at the above mentioned time was really magni ficent. Refreshments of the best order were liberally supplied by Mr. Bacon, the courteous proprietor of the tavern; indeed, everything was so well conducted, that entire satisfaction appeared to pervade the assembly, the elegant hilarity of which was sustained till an early hour this morning.
