HARBERT, Mr. ROLFE, a delegate from St. James's, Westmineter,%s moved the fifth resolution, and said, that schools being este- '''!'!%7 Wished hi the heart of such a parish as St. James's would greatly deteriorate the value of property : " That the proposed establishment of district schools will not only entail additional expenses upon the rate-payers, but will tend to aggravate the miseries of pauperism, by remov ing children away from their parishes, and will curtail the opportunity of communication with their parents, and alie nate them from the legitimate influence of local guardians and the superintending clergy." The resolution having been seconded, A Griorrmaiatt from the parish of St. Mary, Islington, said, that he could not agree to the principle of the resolution just proposed, as the children belonging to their parish were at Drouett's establishment, where none of the miseries enume rated in the resolution were' to be found, Mr. PARSONS , of St. Luke's, said the system of schools was approved by the greatest portion of the inhabitants of that parish, their children being well-treated at the establishment in which they were placed, and, therefore, he must oppose the resolution. After a few words from the Rev. E. SCOSELL with refer ence to their not requiring the interference of 'Government in the instruction given in the schools in Marylebone, the reso lution was put, and carried with but one dissentient. Mr. PorrEa moved the next resolution, and said that Lord Brougham, the great mover of the New Poor-law Bill, had given his reason for it—that the object was to preserve the landed interest; but in his (Mr. Potter's) opinion the object was to obtain the-gift of something like 15,000 places. It was that alone which prompted the Whigs in framing the mea sure, and it was that only which caused the present Admi nistration to follow it out.—(Hear, hear.) The Government thought a great deal of the asylums for the houseless poor, and that was the reason they wished to snake them adopted by parishes The asylum in Playhouse-yard stated that they had relieved in one year 8,000 persona, and the managers held it forth to the public as something great; but in that parish they relieved more than 8,000 every week. It was true, in a great measure, what Lord Brougham had said, that the object of the New Poor-law was to save the landed interest, for out of the 8,000 relieved at the asylum in Play house-yard, only 200 belonged to the metropolis, the remain ing portion being poor creatures from the country districts. —(Hear, hear.) Then, with regard to their own workhouse (Marylebone), out of 1,400 inmates, not more than 25 were mechanics or their wives, the remainder having followed the avocation of gentlemen's servants.—(Hear, hear.) He begged to move —" That the proposed establishment of dietriet asylums for the casual houseless poor will tend to increase vagrancy, rather than legitimately provide for destitution, and that the proposed incorporation of parishes, having local Acts for such purpose, will subject them to the control of the Poor-law Commissioners, by including them in a district for the auditing of accounts, thereby interfering with the duties of other auditors already appointed under• local and general Statutes." - The resolution was then seconded by. Mr. Mimi, and car ried neat. con. C i t I IZAT SOUTHERN and WESTERN ____....

LIEUTENANT MUNRO'S CASE. officer of acknowledged judgment, and upwards of thirty years' standing in the army,-upon - the - unfortunate occur rence. Ile said, that during the course of his service he had never heard of so gross an outrage, and that, as a British officer upon full pay, I had no alternative whatever but what was usual, viz., an apology or a meeting. I then called upon Mr. Grant, and took him with me to consult with a friend- of much experience in these unhappy affairs. llis opinion entirely coincided vrith that of my other friend ; but he said he would take the advice of a General officer about it, whose reply was, that no officer holding her Majesty's com mission could possibly exist under such an insult. In the course of the same day, I took the opinions of three other friends (all officers, or having been in the army) ; they all said, that however lamentable the proceeding was, I was com pelled to uphold the honour of the station I held in the service at the hazard of my life. I hoped that one word of regret might have been expressed for the wanton and gross insult put upon me ; but none would be given, and a meeting was proposed that day by Lieutenant-Colonel Fawcett, to which Mr. Grant objected. When I found, late in the evening of the 30th of June, that no amicable arrangement was likely to be come to, although I had left the affair entirely in the hands of my seconds, 1 wrote a note, recommending my wife and children to the care of some friends; and also a paper (which I signed in the presence of two witnesses), declaring that I most deeply deplored being obliged to go out with Lieutenant- Colonel Fawcett, and that, from circumstances over which I had no control, I was forced to do so. I most earnestly desired that some arrangement might be come to the follow ing morning, and I made three appeals to Mr. Grant upon the ground with that view, saying each time, Good God, Grant, can nothing be done to stop this dreadful affair from going on ?' but it appears he was so obstinately and violently received the day before by Lieutenant-Colonel Fawcett, that he had no hope of coming to a friendly understanding. It would be both imprudent and improper for me to proceed further with the details of this most melancholy transaction ; but I think I have said enough to convince most fair thinking men that I am much more to be sympathised with than blamed for what has happened. I now think that the quarrel was premeditated, and there were circumstances of so incre dible a nature connected with it, that I cannot even allude to them ; but I will say that I have strong reasons to believe that moot diabolical means were used to produce a quarrel between my lamented and gallant connexion and myself, and to prevent a reconciliation ; I am certain that he would not have otherwise behaved to me as he did.

Bass and *Co.. in the Landon and provincial eewspapers, we were under the necessity of addressing a letter to those gentlemen on the 26th ult.. informing them that their statements of the prices of Pale Ale In India, and the shipments thereto, as far as we were concerned, were " grossly incorrect," and that if the advertisement were not withdrawn, we should feel compelled publicly to allude to the Inac curacy of it. We have, therefore, no alternative but to declare publicly, what we informed them privately, that almost every state ment is " grossly incorrect." We take this opportunity of giving accounts of the latest bona fide wholesale sales of each Ale, as veri fied by the various prices current, and have only to refer partie to those connected with India for a confirmation of these facts.

HENRY'S MAGIC PILLS, for the cure of the Gout, Rheumatic Gout, Rheumatism, and all Rheumatic Affections.—This moat extraordinary medicine, which I now offer to the public. is decidedly the moat convenient, safe, and expeditious remedy in the world for the cure of the gout, rheumatic gout, rheu matism, and, indeed, for all rheumatic affections under the various names of face-ache, tic-doloreux, sciatica, lumbago, &c. It contains neither mercury, antimony, nor any other noxious substance; re. I eves a fit of the gout or rheumatism in an hour or two, gives 'moth. ing and refreshing sleep, and, in many cases, I have known patients walk well and easy in less than twenty-four hours. They are soli!1 wholesale, by Barclays, Farringdon-street; Edwards, St P aul's; Suttons, B ow Ch urc h.y ar d ; Butler, 4, Cheapside; and Hannay and Co., 63, Oxford-street, London. Price Is. per box, and QV. duty. BY THE HALF PREMIUM PLAN only one-half of the first seven years' premium Is required, the other half being payable at at the convenience of the assured ; thus allowing a Policy to be continued for seven years at one-half of the usual rate, or to be dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice, and entitling the assured, seven years hence, when loss of health may prevent him from effecting a new Assurance, to continue a Policy at a rate of premium applicable to an age seven years younger. The Half-premium plan of Assurance, as practised by this Company, thus enables persons to retain to their own use the one-half of the premiums for the first seven years, at 51. per cent. interest. Thus, suppo se th e or dinary premium for an assurance of 5001 . to be 10/., the first thepay thythel 114 . 1 , f- iui premium ere p s l t an for wi t l h l eberefitaled half; and, if death guineas, being the one v should occur in the first year, the sum of 500 1 . .would be paid less the Si. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the fir s t y ea r of 51. ; for the second, of 101. ; and so on till the end o f th e pay ment of seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 35/., may either be repaid, or retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the 3.51. would be subtracted from the 5001. then payable by the Company.

Patronised by the Royal Family and Nobility. pAuL's EVERY MAN'S FRIEND is a sure and speedy cure for those annoyances, without causing the least pain or inconvenience. Unlike all other remedies for corns, its operation is such all to render the cutting of the corns altogether unnecessary: indeed, we may say, the practice of cutting corns is at all times highly dangerous, and has been fre quently attended with lamentable consequenczs, besides its liability to increase their growth. It adheres with the most gentle pressure, producing an instant and delightful relief from torture, and, with perseverance in its application, entirety eradicates the most in veterate corns and bunions. Testimonials have been received from upwards of one hundred Physicians and Surgeons of the greatest eminence. Prepared by John Fox, in boxes , at Is. I or three in one fo 2s. 9d., and to be had of C.

We, the undersigned, solemnly declare that before Thomas Ro. bins, one of our parishioners, comenced taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," he was literally covered with large running wounds (some of them so large that a person mlgtit have laid his fist in them); that before he had finished the first bottle he noticed an improvement, and that by continuing them for some time, he got completely restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried various sorts of medicines before taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," and had prescripti ons f rom th e most celebrated physicians in this country, without deriving the least benefit. " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," have co r pletely cured him, and he is rum enabled to attend to his labour as well as any man in our parish. From other cures also made in this part, we strongly recommend " Halse's Scorbutic Drops" to the notice of the public. W S il ig li n am ed p b e y .

" Sir,—Although I have not th e h onour o f b e i ng ac quainted with you, yet, as I know your readiness to sym pathise with those who may . (often for some wise purpose) be visited by Providence with severe and sudden affliction, I beg leave to lay before you the following particulars of my unhappy case, as I am desirous of their being published ; and I hope that a perusal of them may remove from the minds of many good men much of the prejudice that I believe to have been engendered against me by the falsehoods that have been industriously circulated upon the very melancholy subject, and also of drawing the attention of Government to the ne cessity, as well as justice, of protecting officers who may be grossly insulted, by the obvious benefit that must arise from inserting a clause in the articles of war, forbidding all officers from giving or receiving challenges upon pain of losing their commissions, and instituting a competent court before which officers who consider that they had been insulted, or injured in their characters, may lay their complaints for in vestigation, redress, or advice; the establishing such a point would in all probability put an effectual stop to the lamentable practice of duelling; at present there is a trap laid for all gentlemen who have the honour to bear her Majesty's commission, into which the most inoffensive man who ever lived might fall when he least expected it. Few officers•know anything of the civil or cri minal laws of the country, but there are also few but know what an officer has to expect should he pass unnoticed a gross personal insult ; and too many have seen the wretched and piteous object that an officer becomes who may be supposed to have shown a want of courage in action, or in resenting an insult. The scorned existence of such unfortunate men is too frightful to contemplate, as they are generally ami able and most sensitive ; their unhappy lives are frequently terminated by insanity and suicide, or they sink into a pre mature grave from indescribable and concealed misery. I have to observe that I am m os t anx i ous t o avo id giving offence to any of the great and good men that comprise her Majesty's Government, and I hope I may be pardoned for publicly expressing to the Duke of Wellington my most un bounded gratitude. " I will not attempt to describe my own most unhappy state of mind, since I have been forced to fly from my coun try, my profession, and my beloved wife, children, father, mother, and relations ; but those who have known me from my childhood, and my gallant comrades, can conceive what I have suffered. I had a happy and a contented home, my utmost and constant endeavours were directed to perform, to the best of my power, my duties to my God, to all men, and also as a faithful subject to her most gracious Majesty, and lam now a marked and wretched exile. It has been said that I was to enter a foreign service, and I have occa sionally in my solitude and wretchedness thought of doing so ; but my heart and affections are, and ever will remain, with my kindred and my country, and I do not think that I need be ashamed of owning that when alone I have shed many a bitter tear for what has happened, but which I could not prevent ; yet I have a great consolation in the assurance that my merciful and all-seeing Maker will hold me guiltless of the abominable and horrible crime which erring men, like myself, lay to my charge. " Most unfortunately I undertook, in 1839, to act as agent for Lieut.-Colonel Fawcett ; and that, with the view of saving the expenses necessarily attendant upon employing a legal agent (during his absence in India), and to serve him to the utmost of my ability. Among other things which I had to perform for him, was looking after two houses which be longed to his wife. The houses in question were let to a Mrs. Smith. of 37, Devonshire-place, Brighton, and she had taken one of them off Lieut.-Colon Fawcett's hands before he sailed. It was occupied by a person who was considered an ineligible tenant. Lieut.-Colonel Fawcett was anxious to sell the house in question. About a year and a half after his departure for India, Mrs. Smith wrote to infirm me that her tenant had failed, that she could not get her rent, and had had a great deal of trouble with him, and she begged at the same time that I would request Lieut.-Colonel Fawcett to forego his claim to 501. of her rent, as she had taken the house to meet his views, and with the insolvent, a bad tenant, in it. As Mrs. Smith was an old tenant of Mrs. Fawcett's father, and as she assisted in endeavouring to ob tain a purchaser for the house, I considered myself justified in recommending that the 50/. alluded to should be deducted from the rent she had agreed to pay. In due time I received an answer from Lieut.-Colonel Fawcett to the effect that, if I could sell the house, and if Mrs. Smith had paid her rent regularly, that I might forego his claim to 501. Through Mrs. Smith's exertions and my own, I had then received several offers for the house, but had rejected them, as I expected to get a higher price than had been offered. Soon after the time alluded to, I received overtures upon account of a Miss Howard, who was desirous of buying the house, as she had previously lived in it. These offers were the most advantageous that I had obtained ; and, after several interviews with Miss Howard's friends, I agreed to sell the house to her for 2,0001., being 2001. above the price that I had authority to sell it for. When my power of attorney came to be examined by Miss Howard's agent, it appeared (having been written out by Lieutenant-Colonel Fawcett himself) that I was not empowered to sell the house ; but, in order to keep so eligible a buyer, I let the house to her for a year for 1001., upon condition of purchasing it as soon as I could obtain the proper authority from China to sell it. I wrote without delay for a new power, and also stated what I had done. By return of the mail I received another power of attorney, which was also written by Lieutenant-Colonel Fawcett, but which the legal gentlemen employed by both parties agreed in saying did not enable me to complete the sale ; but, being most anxious to retain so good an offer, I again let the house to Miss Howard for another year, upon the condition of her purchasing it for 2,000/., as soon as the sale could be effected, or upon Lieutenant-Colonel Fawcett's return from China, which was expected in the course of last summer, and, to get the matter prepared by his arrival, I obtained the title-deeds from Messrs. Cox and Co., the army agents, in presence of Mrs. Fawcett, who had returned from Calcutta when her husband was about proceeding from thence to China. When the title-deeds were examined, some time in the beginning of last year, the legal agents in formed me that they were faulty. I did everything I could to save unnecessary expenses being incurred, and stopped the affair from proceeding until Lieutenant-Colonel Fawcett should arrive id , England ; but, previous to his arrival, I received a letter from Miss Howard, stating that the house was in such a dilapidated condition, that her friends advised her not to give 2,000/ . f or i t; and hoping that I would allow her 2001. to put it into a proper state of repair. I replied that I could not deviate from the agreement ; and I have now to observe that, when the agreement was duly signed, I in timated to Mrs. Smith that, as she had paid her rents, and as the house was considered to be sold, Lieutenant-Colonel Fawcett had let her off paying the 50/. formerly alluded to. I soon after received another letter from Miss Howard, to al low her 100/. to repair the house. I again replied that, how ever ready I might be to do so if the house belonged to my self, I felt myself so strongly bound to protect Lieutenant- Colonel Fawcett's interest in his absence, that I must insist upon the agreement being strictly adhered to. Soon after that answer the amount agreed upon, viz., 2,0001., was placed in Miss Howard's agent's hands by her, to complete the purchaae,:but which had to be deferred until Lieutenant- Colonel Fawcett's arrival. He came to London in the begin ning of last June ; I immediately called upon him, the day after his arrival. I made him acquainted with the delay about the sale of the house, and said that it was then in his hands. I also informed him that I had been so fortunate as to have been principally instrumental in having saved a considerable sum for him through my exertions as his agent, and as a trustee for Mrs. Fawcett's father's property, as well as several other matters in which I had very effec tually served him. I requested that he would take an early opportunity of examining his bankers' account, to see the sums that I had paid to his credit, which he did in a few days. I also accompanied him into the City, to examine some accounts, which it was necessary for him to see, to un derstand fully all I had done in his absence. After having done so, he said that I had been very fortunate in my en deavours to serve him ; and he requested me to call upon him as soon as I could, to explain to him what some small sums were that I had paid to his credit. I did so, most unfortu nately, on the evening of the 26th of last June. I have now to mention that when I accompanied Lieut.-Colonel Fawcett into the City, that he hinted to me he had some suspicions upon his mind that were of a most unhappy nature. When I called upon him on the evening of the 29th ofJune he ap peared considerably excited. There was a person of the name of Romer in the room, who was sent away as soon as I entered, although upon previous occasions he had remained. I think that I was expected ; and from the accounts being at once entered upon, and from other circumstances, I believe that the gross insult that was put upon me afterwards, was premeditated; the small sums previously alluded to were soon explained to his satisfaction ; but the 501. that Mrs. Smith was allowed for the loss she had sustained from taking Warwick-house with a bad tenant in it, was made the subject upon which a quarrel was to be effected. I endeavoured re peatedly to make him understand that it was strictly in con formity with his own directions that Mrs. Smith had been let off paying 50/., as well as to draw his attention to the im portant services I had rendered him in other matters and the high price I had obtained for the house, but he kept constantly reverting to the case of the 501., and insinuated repeatedly that I had neglected his interest, and had allowed myself to be bamboozled by Mrs. Smith. I have no doubt but that he was anxious to leave London for some reason or other ; for be said frequently, that if he could only get away, and get rid of the house, that he would sell it for 1,6001., and that he would force the lawyers to do so by the power of attorney that he had sent to me from China, &c. I remained perfectly passive under aid the insinuations for a considerable time. I told him that it was no fault of mine that the powers of attorney that he had sent to me were de fective, or the title-deeds faulty; that I had never charged him a farthing for the expenses I had been put to upon his account, and I tried to get him off the subject of the 501., but he kept perpetually and violently returning to it, and blam ing me as pointedly as he could for all that was wrong about the delay in the sale of the house ; the consciousness of my most zealous, fortunate, and unwearied exertions in his fa vour made me doubt for a long time if he could really mean what he said ; at last I observed, Well, Fawcett, this is a very different return from what I expected, for I have at tended to your interests as I never did to my own. I have served you as no other man could have done, and you have frequently insinuated that I neglected your affairs or interest when you were absent.' He replied loudlY, ' I did not, Sir.' I answered, You did, or I understood you to do so' He violently answered, A fiat contradiction I will bear from no man ;' he rang the bell (he was during the whole of the above time, or nearly so, walking hurriedly about the room), opened the door before the servant could answer to the bell, and called out in a rage, Open the door, and keep it open until Mr. Munro is turned out of the house.' I was so confounded by the unexpected and unnecessary violence of the act, with the recklessness and ingratitude evinced by it, that I did not know what to do, or what to say; but I remained for a few minutes and then went away, nearly distracted with the cruel and gross insult put upon me by a person whom I had rend ere d suc h serv i ces t o ; an d supposing that I might be spurned for permitting it, I re turned and said, that if it had not been for the connexion that existed between us, and the unseemly nature of such proceeding, I would bring bins to account for it, or have re sented it upon the spot. He replied that as to the connexion, he wished never to hear of it again, and hoped thati t would not prevent me from doing what I referred to. I then went away. Upon the fbllowing morning I took the opinion of au TAN PARISHES. Monday a numerous meeting of deputations from various metropolitan parishes was held at the Marylebone Court house, for the purpose of considering certain clauses in the Bill now before Parliament for altering and amending the Poor law Act. Amongst the deputations In attendance were those from St. Luke's, Middlesex ; St. James, Westminster ; St. George's, Hanover-square ; St. James, Clerkenwell ; St. Pancras; St. Mary's, Islington ; St. Margaret's, St. John's, and St. Leonard's, Shoreditch. Mr. KIRBY, a barrister, was in the chair, and after stating the objects for which the meeting had been convened, said, that the representatives of those parishes which had the ad vantage of possessing local Acts, could not but feel that the amended Poor-law Bill, now before the House of Com mons, was a fatal blow about to be aimed at their independ ence.—(Hear, hear.) Should the 56th clause of that amended Bill be suffered to pass the Legislature, their in dependence was not only totally gone, but they would be placed entirely under the control of the Poor-law Commis sioners. Then, with regard to the proposed establishment of district asylums and schools, there would not only be a great increase of expense inflicted on the various parishes, but the very fact of such clauses being inserted in the Bill implied that they were not able to manage their own affairs, or that they had grossly abused the trust reposed in them. — (Hear, hear.) It was admitted, on all hands, that the parish of Marylebone was never so well conducted as it had been since it had been under the control of Hobhouse's Vestries' Act; find this was borne out by the fact that the rates had been reduced from 4s. 4d. in the pound to 35., and a further reduction was still contemplated; but be would ask what might they not have to expect under the control of the Poor-law Commissioners?—(Hear, hear.) It was clear that the system of centralisation sought to be carried out by the amended Poor-law Bill was not at all adapted to parishes like those of Marylebone and others who were r e p resente d t h ere that day.—(Hear, hear.) Letters were here read by Mr. Thorne, the Secretary to the Board of Guardians, from Mr. Temple Leader, M.P., Mr. Duncombe, M.P., the Hon. Captain Rous, M.P., all of which agreed in the expediency of opposing those clauses affecting the Local Acts referred to. Mr. MAuLE, of Saville-row (Churchwarden of St. James, Westminster), said that a Committee of their vestry had been appointed, to ascertain in what particulars the amended Poor-law Bill encroached on the local Act of St. James's. They unanimously came to a resolution—" That the general principles of the Bill so entirely destroy or materially affect the local Act of this parish, as in the opinion of this Com mittee to render it desirable that the same should be strenu ously opposed.—(Hear, hear.) By the general principles of the Bill, he (Mr. Maule) begged to observe that the autho rities ( - ISt. James's did not mean to impugn by wholesale the Poor-law ; but, at the same time, they wished clearly and distinctly to express their strong conviction that the pro posed appendage did not act fairly and honestly with exist ing parochial Acts. Its effect would be utterly to displace all sorts of local government, and destroy the present salu tary establishment of an independent board of auditors chosen by the rate-payers.—(Hear, hear.) The apprentice ship clauses of the Bill were most partial and unjust, and the district houses for the destitute and district schools were not required. Taking the Bill in many of its leading features, he considered it deserved their strenuous and determined op position.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. G. DANIELL wished the Chairman to inquire if there were any gentlemen present who had formed part of the de putation which had waited on Sir James Graham on the subject of the Bill, as they might be enabled to afford the meeting information. Mr. JOSEPH said that the deputation merely consisted of Members of Parliament, as he understood was indicated in the letter from Sir Charles Napier, read to the vestry of Marylebone on Saturday, and which he would now move be read to that meeting. The resolution having been seconded and carried, the letter from Sir Charles Napier to the Vestry-clerk of St. Marylebone was read by Mr. Thorne, as follows : " March 8, 1844. " Sir,—l only received your letter this night, on my arrival from the country. I shall not fail to attend the meeting. " I was with Sir James Graham this morning, with other Members. He declined discussing the question of asylums, but will consider the 28th clause. " Relative to the 56th clause, Sir James declares that he has no wish to touch the unions under local Acts, and he means to alter the clause. All he wishes is, to oblige unions under local Acts to hold their meetings as often as the unions under the Commissioners do, and to oblige them to have a Chairman and Vice-Chairman ; but, even if the clause stands, it does not affect Marylebone, because the population is above 20,000.—1 am, Sir, your obedient servant, " CHARLES NAPIER. " C. Flood, Esq., Vestry-clerk, St. Marylebone." The above letter was received with derisive laughter, and cries of " Oh !" Mr. DANIELL said that every sentence in the amended Bill was diametrically opposed to each sentence of the Gallant Commodore's letter.—(Hear.) Why, every person who pe rused this Bill of Sir James Graham's, put a different con struction upon the meaning of its various clauses. If this Bill was to become a law, and they were to obey that law, it should be clearly defined. Sir James Graham first asserts that the Bill will interfere with parishes having local Acts— and then he says it will not The purpose of the Bill was for nothing less than to carry out a scheme of centralisation in order that the whole and sole control of large parishes should be under the management of the Government. Let every man then be up and doing—let every parish now go verned by local Acts be active, and prevent, to the best of their ability, their being placed under the thumb of the Poor law Commuisioners.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Daniell then moved the following resolution :—" That the experience of many years has proved the inestimable value of local and inde pendent boards, which are justly popular with rate-payers generally, and have been mainly instrumental in fostering the spirit of liberality, and endearing to Englishmen the oces stitution of this country." Mr. HOWARTH, churchwarden of St. Pancras parish, after some strong preliminary remarks, moved, " That the Poor law Amendment Bill, now before the House of Commons, contained provisions which, if enacted, will increase the ar bitrary power of the Poor-law Commissioners, subvert the ancient independence of local boards, and repeal, without express enactment, important and valuable privileges, by depriving rate-payers of the control over their own re sources in the administration of relief to their local poor." Mr. CLARKZ, of St. Pancras, seconded the resolution, which was unanimously carried. Mr. MAUR begged to propose, " That the principle and details of the Poor-law Amendment Bill are alike obnoxious ; and the principle, as being a further centralisation of power in an irresponsible body, to whom are delegated the functions of the three estates of the realm to issue rules having the force of law—the details, as being calculated, through the power given to the Poor4aw Commissioners, to render the operation of the law vexatious and contrary to that mild spirit which has endured for centuries during which the powersletnained unfettered in local representatives to protect and relieve their own poor." This resolution having been seconded, was carried nem. dis. Mr. RATIIIIONE proposed the following resolution :—" That the amended Poor-law Bill, proposed to give absolute con trol to the Poor-law Commissioners over parish apprentices ; that, remembering the restrictive and sectarian character of the classes, together with the vexatious and penal regulations as to persons taking parish apprentices, that were embodied in the Poor-law Bill introduced in 1842, but subsequently withdrawn, there i 3 reason to apprehend that the Poor-law tug . Sir B. HALL, M.P., then rose. He said that as he was about to hasten from the meeting, he would at once state that he should oppose any interference with the local govern.. ment of that parish, or any other in the metropolis, as sought to be done by the amended Poor-law Bill. Further, he should be proud to accompany the deputation to Sir James Graham, and to do anything in his power to oppose the passing of a Bill which would interfere in the management of the affairs of that parish.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. PorrEn inquired of the Right Hon. Baronet if he did not think they would succeed more effectually in their object, if they could have an interview with the Premier? Sir B. HALL—Even if an interview were obtained with Sir Robert Peel, the probability would be that the deputation would be referred to Sir James Graham. Sir 'Robert Peel had enough to do, and would, he felt assured, not meddle with the province of the Home Secretary.—(Hear.) Mr. PERRY then moved and Mr. CLERK seconded a reso lution—" That it is the decided opinion of this meeting that every parish having 20,000 inhabitants, and governed by a local Act, ought to be exempted from the operation of the!siiid Bill, as containing within itself sufficient material for efficient local self-government, and for the economical managementlof its own poor." Mr. RArrx, of Shoreditch, said there was a portion of the Bill which had not been referred to—he meant the bastardy clauses. These clauses he considered were cruel in the ex treme as regarded the female, for she was compelled within six weeks after the child was born to affiliate it, or in failing she would be debarred from receiving relief. An enlightened country, like England, he contended, was disgraced by having such clauses introduced into any Bill. With respect to the resolution he was about to propose, he must say he fully coincided in it. Though politically opposed to the prin ciples of the Times newspaper, still he must say, that for the advocacy of the poor, and the strenuous opposition that jour nal had given to this Bill, the zeal and ability with which those gentlemen connected with it had supported the poor against everything ilia t was bad in policy or unjust in prin ciple, called forth the cordial thanks of all those who were anxious to better the condition of their poorer brethren.— (Hear, hear.) He begged leave to move : " That the thanks of this meeting be given, and they are hereby given accordingly, to the Times newspaper, for its strenuous and consistent advocacy of the rights of the poor, and for the numerous able articles which have appeared therein, extending over a period of ten years, under different Administrations, ably advocating the constitutional rights_ of the people, and fearlessly asserting the duties of the Legis lative and private benevolence, as relates to the poor and their relief." Mr. JOSEPH seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. A deputation was then appointed, to be composed of Mem bers of Parliament, churchwardens, and chairmen of the boards of guardians of the different metropolitan parishes; to wait upon Sir James Graham with reference to the Bill not, to interfere with parishes under local Acts. • Thanks having been voted to the Chair, the meeting sepa rated. REMARKABLE TROUT.—The largest fish of the above description taken from the river Thames for some years was captured by a gentleman, whilst casting his line upon the waters at Hampton, on Friday last. It measured 2 feet 6 inches in length, and weighed 131bs. 2oz. The par ties submitted their prize to Mr. Groves, the fishmonger,,at Charing-cross, with the artificial fly fixed in the captive's mouth. The fly was the " red palmer." Had this fish been in full season, it is considered by piscatorial judges that it would have attained the great weight of 151bs. INCENDIARISM IN LONDON.—AB attempt to s t fire to the extensive premises of Messrs. Grissell and Peto, of the York-road, Lambeth, took place on Friday se'nnight, but, fortunately was discovered. Another attempt happened on last Friday night, and near the same spot. The West of England firemen with their engine from the Waterloo-road were soon in attendance, but fortunately the damage only amounted to about 20/. The firm have determined in future to have a night fireman, so as, if possible, to protect their property. PENTONVILLE PRISON.— According to a return made to Parliament, the number of prisoners at present in the Pentonville Model Prison is 537. Since it was opened in December, 1842, three prisoners have been removed be Bethlehem Hospital on the ground of insanity, and still con tinue insane. There are now no inmates in the prison who are treated as labouring under hallucination, delusion, mad ness, or a marked tendency to mental disease. BODY FOUND AMONG THE SNow.—Last week one of Sir G. M'Kenzie's gamekeepers was found lying dead upon the snow some miles to the south of Dalwhinnie. He had been observed, a few hours before, going along the road, followed by a dog ; and when discovered, his corpse was still attended by the faithful animal. It is supposed that the cold had induced drowsiness, and that, incautiously giving way to the pleasant sensation, he had lain himself down to sleep, not anticipating that that sleep was to be the sleep of death.—Perth Advertiser. WOOLWICH.—ROYAL MARINES.—A. detachment of the 'Woolwich division, consisting of 1 serjeant, 1 corporal, and 16 privates, embarked at the Woolwich dockyard on Saturday, in the hired ship London, at present taking on board convicts for Van Dieman's Land. The marines are all artificers or mechanics, and have volunteered for service at Port Essington. A detachment of the 58th Regiment will take charge of the convicts on board the London during her voyage to the penal settlements. FRIGHTFUL COACH ACCIDENT IN THE ISLE OF MAN.—DOUGLAS, MARCH 9.—On Wednesday evening last, between five and six o'clock, the coach Falcon, running be tween this place and Peel, left with a full complement of passengers, when, on arriving at the hill leading down to the Union Mills, one of the springs broke, followed immediately by the snapping of the pole. The horses now became un manageable, and broke away from the harness, leaving the coach, which ran down the hill with a fearful velocity, and striking against the parapet of the bridge, threw the driver and passengers, some over the bridge into the river, and some on to the road ; it then rebounded, and again came in _ contact with the bridge, and cast the remainder of the passengers from . their places on to the road, all of whom were more or less seriously injured. Mr. William Faragher, merchant tailor, of Peel, was picked up in a dreadful state, the wheels having passed over his head, and cut his lower jaw completely open, splitting his nose into three parts, besides inflicting other serious wounds, of which he died yesterday (Friday). The wheels of the coach also went over the body of the driver, who is seriously injured. Mrs. M'Carthy, wife of the gardener at Northop, who was in an advanced state of pregnancy, had all her ribs driven in, and died on Thursday night. Mrs. Captain Grant, of Crosby, had her arm broken. Miss Craine, of Peel, is severely hurt, and all the outside passengers re ceived more or less injury. The utmost attention was paid to the unfortunate sufferers by the people at the Union Mill s , till the arrival of one of Mr. Braids coaches, which was sent for to convey them on to Peel. No blame whatever attaches to the unfortunate driver. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—On Thursday even ing an event t oo k pl ace near Aberffraw, Anglesea, which has thrown the family of Mr. John Fuller, of Bodorgan, into deep grief. The second son of the late Sir G. W. Tappis Gervis, aged fourteen—a nephew and ward of Mr. Fuller, who had arrived at Bodorgan, about a fortnight previously, on a visit—was then missed; and being a stranger to the locality, his absence caused much alarm to the respected family, lest in the darkness he might have lost his way on the sands, and got within range of the tide. Every means that could be suggested were resorted to, but in vain, and afte; two days' ineffectual search, the most painful anticipations were realised by the discovery of the body of the poor youth in a running between Bodorgan and Llanddwyn. It is sup posed that having become benighted, he had endeavoured to to take a short cut homeward, but that being; short-sighted, he had wandered into the riVer.—Carnarvon Herald. - IGNORANCE AND CRIME.--Of the seven prisoners charged with arson at the Essex assizes, three only were convicted ; one of these parties appears to have been of weak intellect, so as hardly to have been aware of the enormity and .the danger of the crime he was committing ; and a singular circumstance connected with these trials is the impossibility of tracing in any case the slightest motive for the perpetration of the offence. It did not appear that there had been any quarrel, any disagreement, any existing between the pri soners and the parties whose property was destroyed ; as far as we could learn, the offenders were in comfortable circumstances for labourers, being single men and in em ploy ; and we are therefore inclined to attribute these crimes in a great degree to sheer reckless igno rance. Lord Denman, in his charge to the grand jury, forcibly pointed to general education as the best anti dote to the progress of crime; and a review of the calen dar strongly confirms the principle which his Lordship advocated. Of the forty-eight prisoners only two could read and write well, one of these being charged with burglary, and the other with uttering a thrged bill ; 13 could read and write imperfectly ; 11 could read im perfectly; and 22 could neither read nor write. Of the prisoners charged with arson two could read and write imperfectly, two read imperfectly, and three could neither read nor write. It is a striking fact that in this boasted age of knowledge, out of 48 accused persons nearly one-half bad been lest in total ignorance, and only two had received any thing like adequate iibtitEtiola.--7Essex &raid. --, A....b. zuuiway ~..vmptily , Oh, Alvin gas .I.l—e Li uv 1, ' 041)14,ke,„_th, -- „..-NE LAMPS—SUPERB LIGHT. ikI4I.Z . ‘miPIIINE or TESTA LA3IP, for intensity of light k tqu ki er ll 7 in the brilliant Bude. itti l toliskli r C a !: have.intented an opal enamelled Shade, which I ) ls:l i e ogerit ;le advantages, gives i t t he e C rf u e i c n t ri c n h e ad o o rZe e s s ta Lamp juso ke kt qlUng' eY. anwliec'hanisd makesso necessary" i' fo 3 r ' these Lamps,. the 114111 11p14 ( 75 111 for common glasses.
