BRUSSELS, MARCH 13.—A letter from Antwerp, of yesterday, says:—" We have had, for these 48 hours, one of the most awful storms that we remember ever to have witnessed—sudden squalls, torrents of rain, hail, thunder, and lightning. Nothing was wanting, and we have reason to fear that we shall have to record many disasters. None of the vessels in our port have sustained any damage." The Senate, which was convoked for the 18th, is now to meet four days sooner, namely, on the-14th. The inundation of the Seine has spread. Yesterday evening, the inhabitants of Careghem, expecting the communication to be completely interrupted, hastened. to lay in a stock of provisions. The Leige Gazette says:—" The incessant rains of the last two days have caused the Meuse to rise very considerably. The Ourthe and the Verdre have risen to a greater height than on the previous occasion. These impetuous torrents, which carry everything before them, make es fear that the works of the railwa y of Le Verdre may be damaged." Accounts from other places give similar statements. BRUSSELS, MARCH 14.—The King, accompanied by Mr. Conway, his secretary, set out yesterday morning for his seat at Ardenne. The papers continue to give numerous details relative to the inundation. . The Senate met to-day at two o'clock. Several mes sages from the Chamber of Representatives were read; transmitting various projects of law, which were referred to three different Committees. They were for the con , version of the loan ; for the budget of public works and supplementary vote of credit ; and for a vote of credit to the finance department. . ANTWERP, MARCH 14.—Yesterday morning a vessel ;test leaving the basin had its mast broken by a gust of . wind, and sustained other damage. The wind having abated, and the weather become more favourable, several vessels have dropped down the river. ANTWERP, MARCH 13. —The Soho steamer arrived this morning, at half-past nine o'clock. with a cargo of merchandise and seventeen passengers, among whom was the Chevalier Bunsen, Russian Ambassador at the Court of Great Britain.—Journal du Commerce d' Anvers. UTRECHT, MARCH 12.—The unfavourable weather has delayed the departure of the I3romo for Japan. The presents for the Emperor of Japan arrived at Helvoct sluys some days ago. They consist of bronze and glass chandeliers, of pistOls inlaid with precious stones, of a greitcriuinliel'of astronomical books, a map of the Dutch possessions in India, a portrait of his Majesty the King, and other articles, filling, in all, eighteen chests. AMSTERDAM, MARCH 15.—We learn that his Ma jesty the King will leave the Vague by a special train this evening at nine o'clock, and arrive here about half past ten. llis Majesty will remain only a few days here, and give no public audience ; and, on account of the mourning, there will be no public entertainments. The Staats Courant of the date (the lath) publishes, by order, the following document : "In consequence of the wishes and directions con tained in the last will and testament; of our revered and beloved father, the late Icing William, Count of Nassau, and desiring strictly to conform to them, we declare, by these presents, in our quality as principal heir, that we take upon us all the guarantees which our late father, in his solicitude for the prosperity of the country, had granted to several societies and enterprises in the king dom, and we will scrupulously fulfil the obligation which these guarantees impose on us. " In order to meet the expense which may result from them, we have set apart for this purpose a part of the inheritance of the King, our father, the direction of which we have confided to Baron Van Doom West capelle, who is authorised by us to deliver copies of the present. declaration to the parties concerned.

JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The gene ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit - the following cautions:—Some are in appearance at first sight, " the,genuine," but without name or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies," and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis tinguished approbation,,ol every sentiment of respect towards the public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope will prevent many disappointments. BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom mended as a most useful and convenient sauce ; will keep good in all climates.

THIS IS TUN ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their deed of constitution not to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that It was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation ; the great aim and object having been to render Life Policies COMPLETE BECITEI TIES and NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENTS, which shall owe their value to the certainty of the contracts upon which they are founded, and be independent of the liberality or caprice of those who shall be in the management of the affairs of the Company when the claims arise ; and fir this purpose the Company have, by a clause in their deed of constitution, unhesitatingly deprived themselves of the power of objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to prove that It was obtained from them by fraudulent misrepresentation. The regulations common to all other Life Companies, which make the validity of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfeot correct aces of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life Policy, and which have give' rise to almost all the questions which have been argued in the Courts, and to many extra Judicial com promises, are thus entirely abrogated ; and nothing but fraud, proved to have been committed against them, can vitiate a pulley granted by this Company. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY from whom the assured oa the mutual principle, receive the whole of the mutual accumulations, and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums assured. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay the sums in the policies, although the debts for which they were effected shall have been liquidated before the claims arise. The Company considering it only just towards the assured that where premiums have been paid for assuring a given amount, that amount should be paid ; and they undertake to do so without reference to the state of the accounting between the assured and his debtor. THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant la favour of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt LS secured, although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe. The premiums calculated according to the Carlisle Tables, are lower than usual upon young lives, where participation in the melts Is not required ; and for short assurances, which, at the option of the assured, may be confirmed for life, the rates are as low as a due re gard to complete security will permit.

Credit given for half the amount of the first five Annual Premiums, by which means Assurances may be effected with the least possible present outlay, and after payment of the arrears, the Policy-holder will become entitled to participate In the entire profit of this Institu tion, precisely in the same manner as if he had paid the whole amount of his premiums in advance, in the usual way. Thus, for example —a person in the twenty-fifth year of his age, instead of paying 21. 6s. per annum for an Assurance of 1001., would be, required to pay IL 3s. only during the first five years, when, on payment of the arrears of Premium, amounting to 51. 155., his share of the Profits would be such as to reduce his future Annual Pre miums to very little more than the half Premium of 1/. 3s. originally paid by him. The Great Britain is the only Mutual Assurance t.inciety in which this very great accommodation is given to the As sured. Credit allowed for the whole of the first five Annual Premiums, on satisfactory security being given for the payment of the same at the expiration of five years. All the profits of the Institution divided annually among the Policy holders who shall have paid five Annual Premiums.

The traffic which exists between Dublin and the south and south western districts of Ireland, fully justifies the construction of a main trunk line of railway from Dublin to Cashel, with a branch to Athy and Carlow. From this main trunk the country is most favourable for branches to Clontnel, Limerick, and Galway, and of being exten ded to Cork, as pointed out in the Report of Mr. Macneill. The country to be traversed is singularly favourable for the con struction of a railway, and, with a slight variation, is the line recom mended by the Government Commissioners in their Report, present ing no difficulties or obstacles of any kind, and requiring but little cutting or embanking, which enables the Engineer to pledge himself that the cost will not exceed 1,300,0001. for the entire work, including stations, carrying establishment, &0.. complete, being at the rate of 11,0001. per mile. From Mr. Macneill's great professional experience, and from the succeasful and ecenordical manner in which he has just brought the Dublin and Drogheda Railway works to a completion within his es timate, the Committee has every confidence that the calculations fur nished by him for the present work will be found sufficient.. It is fortunate that the natureof the country through which the line is to be made is such, that, in the event of the atmospheric principle of transit being found from experience to be preferable to that of loco motive engines, it may be applied to this Railway without any in convenience or disadvantage, as, no deeper cuttings or embankments would be required for the locomotive, than would be prudent or desir able for the atmospheric principle. The traffic is probably not exceeded on any line of equal extent in the United Kingdom at present unoccupied by a railway, and holds out very great inducements for the investment of capital. The re turns on which the calculation of traffic is founded, are taken from those published by the Railway Commissioners, and which, by a subsequent inquiry, are found to be considerably underrated.

At a General and Special General Meeting of the Share holders of the West London Railway Company, held at the Com -pany's offices, 11, Abchurch-lane, in the City of London, on Wed nesday, the Gth day of March, 1844, it was unanimously resolved :- 1. That this General and Special General Meeting of the Share holders of the West London Railway Company, called and sum moned in pursuance of the provisions of the Company's Act of In corporation, do resolve that the Directors of the said Comaany shall proceed in the next session of Parliament to apply for an Act or Acts of Parliament, authorising the said West London Railway Company to extend the West London Railway from its present Terminus, at or the nn:hr to the.intyuso as f Kensington Canal-basin, to, at, or near to Knightsbridge, Middlesex, by such line and such direction and with the said Directo r s shall determine upon and think mos t expedient, and that the said Directors shall take all the neces sary county Fiery steps for the purpose. 2. That the Directors shall in the meantime, until such Ac t or I Acts of Parliament be obtained, make such purchases of land and other property, and enter into such contracts for works and other purposes, and cause such works, excavations, embankments, and other things to be carried on and completed, as they shall think ! proper for the purpose of making and completing such extension railway. 3. That a capital or sum of 129,200/. shall be raised for such ex tension, divided into 6,460 shares, of 201. each, to be called " West London Railway Knightsbridge Extension Shares." 4. That the Directors be authorised, when they shall have ob tained Parliamentary power for the purpose, to issue such shares, and in the meantime to issue such certificates or scrip receipts in lieu thereof, as they shall think fit. 5. That the said sum of 20/. per share shall be paid as follows,viz. : a deposit of 21. per share at such time and place as the Directors shall appoint, and the remaining 18/. per share in calls of such amount and at such times as the Directors shall from time to time require. Each call, howevei, not to exceed 3/. per share, and to be payable at intervals of not less than three calendar months from each other, and not less than twenty-one days' notice of every such call to be given by advertisement in, at the least, two London newspapers. 6. That interest, after the rate of 5/. per cent. per annum, be paid on such deposits and calls from the respective times ef the same being paid to the time of the said extension line being opened for public traffic, such interest to be payable on the sth July and the sth January in each year. 7, The preference dividends to he payable to the first-class pre ference and Thames extension Shareholders shall not be postponed or prejudicially affected, but shall continue to have the priority assured to them by the former resolutions of the Proprietary. 8. The Knightsbridge extension Shareholders shall, from the time of the completion of their extension line, haste (Stibject to the pre ference given to the Shareholders referred to in clause 7) a preference rental dividend of 11. per share, to be payable out of the profits of the whole line of railway belonging to the Company, as well original as extended, with priority over the second class pre ference and original shares of the Company ; and that, Subject to such dividends, and to:such preference as aforesaid, any surplus profit there may be in the current year shall be divided equally amongst all the Shareholders, whether holders of original, first or second class preference, or Thames or Knightsbridge extension shares, in propor tion to the number of their respective shares, the holder of each ex tension share being in the division of such surplus profit entitled to the sane dividend as the holder of an original share. 9. As the capital proposed to be raised far exceeds the estimated cost of the site and works of the proposed extension line, and is in tended to provide also a fund for the purchase of land, and ether va luable property, which the Directors have reason to believe the Com pany will be required to buy, and which, if so bought, may be resold without injury t• the undertaking, such excess of property , if so pur chased, shall, with all convenient speed, be resold , and the p roceeds applied in the purchase and extinction of Knig htsbrid g e extension shares, in manner mentioned in clause 10, next following; and if the Company be not required to purchase more land than Ls actually wanted for the site of the line and terminus, then the surplus capital arising from calls shall in like manner be applied in the purchase and extinction of shares in manner after mentioned. 10. When and so often as there shall be, either from the resale of land and property, or otherwise, as before mentioned, an excess of capital to the amount of 4,0001. at the least, the Directors shall (hav ing previously obtained the consent of a General Meeting of Share holders) cause advertisements to be inserted in two London news papers, informing the holders of Knightsbridge extension shares that a sum, to be specified in such advertisement, is applicable to the pur chase of Knightsbridge extension shares, and calling on such Share holderss to send in tenders of the lowest price at which they may be disposed to sell their shares, and the Directors shall accept the lowest tenders, and apply the money mentioned in the advertisement in the purchase of shares so far as such money will extend, and, from the time of such purc hase, the shares so to be bo u g h t s h all be extin gurepischaudted an as d often available for the purpose. 11. A portion of the shares mentioned in the third reselntion to be merg as ed t i h n ere the shallund ebertaftkimds in the hands of the Directors n ; and this operation shall be fixed by the Directors shall be set apart for the present Shareholders of the Company, and the remaining shares shall be offered to the public. 12. That by notice, in at least two of the London newspapers, each registered Proprietor of shares shall be required to give notice, in writing, to the Directors, of his intention to take and become the Proprietor of the BMWs to be appropriated to him, and that the same new shares, or as many of them as shall be required, shall be appro priated to such of the Proprietors as shall, on or before the 16th day of March instant, give notice in writing to the Directors, at the Company's offices, Abchurch-lane, London, of the intention to take up such new shares. 13. That every Proprietor not duly paying, on or before the day to be named by the Directors, such deposit of 21. for each new share, or neglecting, by himself or his assigns, to sign the Parliamentary under takings when required to do so, which will be prepared for the signa ture of the Proprietors engaging to pay the above remaining inetal ments, shall be deemed and taken to have rejected his proportion of such new shares, or of so many of them in respect of which he shall have refused or neglected to pay such deposit punctually, or to sign such Parliamentary undertakings as aforesaid ; and the Directors are empowered and directed by this Meeting either to distribute and appropriate suck of the said shares upon which the said deposit shall not have been duly paid, or in respect of which the Parliamentary undertakings have not on:request been signed, or which shall not have bees duly applied for, amongst those Proprietors of the Company who shall in such form as the Directors may require have expressed their willingness to take and purchase a larger number of such shares than the proportion to be appropriated to them, or to offer the same to the public, as the said Directors shall think fit ; and in making such finther distribution or dffer the Directors shall fix such terms of im mediate payment of the deposit as they shall think fit. 14. That in case any holder of such scrip or new shares aforesaid shall neglect to pay punctually any one of the said instalments on any of his shares, at the respective times hereinbefore mentioned or re ferred to, he shall be charged with Interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum upon the instalment or instalments in arrear until duly paid ; and furthermore, so long also as and during the time such in stalment or instalments shall be in arrear and remain unpaid on any of his shares, the instalments he shall have paid to the Company on all the shares held by him shall cease to carry interest, and no inte rest shall accrue or become due thereon until his arrears of calls on each and every share held by him shall have been duly paid and sa tisfied ; and ffirther, that in the event of any instalment being in ar rear and unpaid for the space of two months from the time appointed for payment, the said Directors shall be authorised to declare the share or shares forfeited on which such instalment shall be in arrear, and the same shall immediately on such declaration being passed w by the Board of Directors become and be absolutely forfeited. 15. That this Meeting do authorise and empower thepirectors to cam out the foregoing resolutions by all proper legal instruments. Currey, r4q. Thomas Bax, Esq. Joseph Cooper, Esq. Russell Jeffrey, Esq.

The sixty-first anniversary dinner, in celebration of the Benevolent Society of St. Patrick, was held, on Saturday, at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen street. The dinner took place in the room which is usually devoted to such purposes. The chair was taken by Lord Viscount Morpeth. To the right and left of the Chairman we observed the following noblemen and gentlemen :—Lord Rossmore, General L'Estrange, Right lion. A. R. Blake, Hon. Villiers Stuart, Sir T. B. Len nard, D. R. Ross, Esq., M.P.; W. C. Collett, Esq., /vI.P.; Tuite, Esq , M.P.; Hon. Mr. Stopford, &c. After the removal of the cloth, the CHAIRMAN gave the health of " Her Majesty the Queen"—" The Queen Dowager"—" Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family." These toasts were drunk with all the usual demonstrations of devotion and loyalty. The CHAIRMAN, in rising to propose the toast of the evening, " The Benevolent Society of St. Patrick," said the subject on which he had to speak, and the statistics connected with it, were so well known already to all present, that he could not think of trespassing on their time by alluding to topics that were so familiar and so obvious to them all. The Benevolent Society of St. Patrick had during the past year clothed and educated 550 poor Irish children ; but the peculiar merits of the Society rested on this ground—that it was not content with merely educating the children ; it extended its 'ostering aid and superintending care to them even long after they had passed from its immediate guardianship and protection. Even in the last year no less a sum than 1121. had been given by them as premiums to those children who had conducted themselves properly to the end of their apprenticeihip. - He had always felt on these anniversary rites that the appearance of the children themselves spoke more forcibly to the feelings and more touchingly to the heart than all the eloquence and the logic that could possibly be parades! before them in support of this most estimable Institution. If he were rejoiced at the salu•• tary ordinance which forbade the introduction of poli tical topics, he should feel more than ever disposed to applaud that wise and discreet regulation, at a time like the present, when subjects assumed so heated and inflam matory a character that it would be in the power of any person mischievously disposed to create a disturb ance, even in so quiet, orderly, and harmonious an as sembly as the present.—(Cheers.) He was not sure whether we could even hear the songs of Moore or Lo ver with safety. "Rich and rare" might pass quietly by, but " He who adores thee," or " Blame not the Bard," might be received with very different feelings in deed. He did not speak of what might have been sung in other places, but this much he would say, that whatever might be thought of contempory min strels, a triimphant proof had lately been given that the glow .of Irish eloquence and the lustre of Irish genius in our days had not been ex tinguished—(Cheers)—nay, that on the contrary, it was burning with undiminished fire.—(Cheers.) What he wanted to bring home to the meeting was, that whenever the storms of party conflicts are at rest, and the turbulence of political animosity is at an end, a still small voice will still be heard—the voice of charity. Its soft cadences will float along, surmounting the surge, and surviving the battle, and its last notes will be mingled with the general chorus of the skies. It was obvious, however, that this period had not yet arrived. He had now matters of fact to deal with. What and how great were the claims of Irish destitution he need not attempt to pourtray in an assembly like the present. They were not asked to encounter it on its own soil, beneath its own weeping skies, near the wilds of Con nemara, or in the neighbourhood of bleak Innis howen. The chilling blasts of penury might beat with a more killing effect upon the sufferer's heart in the streets and alleys of the metropolis, away from fa miliar scenes and beloved companionships. The sons and daughters of poverty met there with much more temptation than in their small and humble homesteads. And for the privations which were to be encountered, when they looked upon the children who were to be ranged before them, when they traced in their appearance and demeanour the change which it is in their power to effect between the privations at which he had hinted and the comfortable means of education afforded by this So ciety—what further could he possibly adduce to create their sympathies and to stimulate their bounty. Those who were present, and who felt the force, the overpower ing :force of this appeal, should not limit their ex ertions and charitable sympathies to what they had done before. No words ought to be wanting from strange, though they might be Saxon lips, to urge them on in the cause in which they were engaged. He was addressing men who, like himself, had carried from their own green isle memories of kindness received, of friendships ri vetted ; and he would now, without further preface, give them " The Benevolent Society of St. Patrick." The CHAIRMAN next gave " the Health of the Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland." It was a charter toast of the Society, and the present Lord-Lieutenant had proved his attachment to it by forwarding a subscription of 50 guineas. The next toast was, " The Duchess of Kent, Duchess of Northumberland, Lady Kinnaird, and the other pa tronesses." The CHAIRMAN then gave them " The Duke of Wel lington, the deliverer of Europe, and the hero of the world." The CHAIRMAN then read the following list of sub• scriptions Her Majesty the Queen £los 0 I Queen Dowager Viscount Morpeth Lord De Grey 5O 0 Duke of Northumberland .... 30 0 Bishop of Derry lO 0 Marquis of Lansd owne 2l 0 . .

The musical department, under the superintendence of Mr. Hobbs, was conducted in the most creditable manner. The Misses Williams sang in such a manner as to elicit frequent plaudits from the company. About a quarter past eleven Lord Morpeth left th e chair, and the meeting separated. THE PRINCETON STEAM-ENGINE AND GUN. The "Trenevese Traveller," the New York cor respondent of the Times, in his last communication, says—" A great object o f interest to our citizens at this time is the United States war steamer Princeton, tb sl e lot b . ulk lts reg en u g ir i e n d e b i y s tbejust built under the diss s i u mp p e l pa r i lcee n d t o e ef n ne d to e i rnnesclteyroubfeetli below wn o Captain cthceu pwyaitnegr Stock ton, which now lies in this harbour, and is daily visited by crowds of interested spectators.

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 preraiunas for the first seven years, at 51. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or dinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be la, the first pay ment by the half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the (me half of the 101., and interest for the retained half; and, If death should occur in the first year, the sum of 5001. would be paid less the 51. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year of Cl.; for the second, of 101. ; and so on till ..the end of the seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either be repaid, or retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the 351. would be subtracted from the SOO/. then payable by the Company.

The writer of a paragraph appearing in the " Morning Herald" of to-day, entitled " Defeat of the ISginsley Junction Railway," has taken the opportunity of insinuating that the Sheffield and Ches terfield Junction Railway is opposed by the North Midland, and that such opposition is likely to be successfuL The Provisional Com mittee of the Sheffield and Chesterfield Junction Railway deem it their duty to state, that the opposition they have met with in Parlia ment, has been principally from the Agents of the Grand Junction Railway, who are determined not to let the important district through which the intended Sheffield and Chesterfield Railway passes, derive any benefit which they could withhold from it, through fear of its affecting their own monopoly. The North Midland Com pany, on the contrary, bound themselves by deed, at the time their Railway Bill received the sanction of Parliament, not to offer opposi tionsto any railway which might thereafter be projected from Shef field to join their line at a point north of the Clay-cross Tunnel. By order of the Provisional Committee, CHARLES F. YOUNGE, Chairman. Committee-room, 40, CravenAgreet, Strand, March 18, 1844.

The measures now In progress for a Railway communisation be tween Chatham and Gravesend, have suggested the expediency of extending that communication to London, by establishing a Steam Ferry from Gravesend to Tilbury, and thence by Railway, joining the Eastern Counties' Station at Romford. The traffic already existing between Chatham, Gravesend, and London, is well-known to be very large, anti it cannot be doubted that, when the communication with the Metropolis is reduced in tints to one hour, the Railway conveyance will obtain a decided preference to the river. When to this are added the prospective ad vantages that may be derived from passengers landing at Thames Maven, and the economy of the construction, and the Parliamentary expenses, which have already been paid, the intended Line promises a more liberal return than any other at present in contemplation. It is intended to confine the operations for the present to a single line, with jetties ; and responsible parties have offered to perform the works to the satlsfactioit of the Engineers, within eighteen months, and without exceeding the specified capital. About one-fourth of the Shares have been already subscribed for, and it is intended to pay interest half-yearly at five per cent. per annum ou all payments from the date of Nture payment. The Works will be commenced under the Act of Parliament al ready obtained by the Thames Haven Company, as soon as the capital is subscribed. The following Tabular Statement of the comparative distances, and the time occupied to or from the ➢fetropolis in travelling by the proposed Line, and others projected on the Surrey and Kentish side, will show the great superiority of the Line described in this Prospectus. =1 . 0 1.1 MI § o 14 5 ; • 2 '' al ` o p .

HAND-LOOM WEAVERS. - - - The following is a copy of the answer of the Board of Trade to the memorial of the hand-loom weavers of this City, agreed to at a public meeting of that body:— " Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade, Whitehall, Feb. 26, 1844. " Sir,—l am directed by the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Tilde to state to you, with refer ence to the memorial of the hand-loom weavers of the borough of Carlisle and its vicinity, transmitted by you in your letter of the 31st ult., that my Lords have given to the memorial that attentive consideration to which its grave and painful importance, and its very proper tone, so justly entitle it. " My Lords entertain no doubt that the distressed condition of the hand-loom weavers at Carlisle is only too correctly represented, and it is with the most un feigned regret that they learn that the earnings of those engaged in this branch of labour have been reduced to an amount far below what is necessary for their proper support. " My Lords, however, are well aware that the evils of which the memorialists so feelingly and temperately com plain are quite beyond the reach of Legislative remedy ; and that any attempt to fix either a minimum or uniform rates of wages, or to prevent competition, would only tend to deteriorate, rather than improve, their present condition. "My Lords, therefore, conceive that it would be a most serious breach of their public duty, if, from a feel ing of sympathy with the memorialists, my Lords should be induced to institute inquiries, which, although excit ing temporary hopes, would inevitably end in disappoint ment, and thus aggravate that distress which my Lords would most earnestly desire (were it possible) to remove. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " JOHN G. SHAW LEFEVRE. " Mr. J. Mackenzie." In the principles here laid down we fully concur ; but a Legislature and a Government which take upon them selves to fix the price of food have no right to say they cannot fix the amount of wages, The one would be quite as rational as the other.—Carlisle Journal.

The first conviction for a breach of the regulations of the new Fishery Convention between France and Eng land took place on Wednesday at Lewes. Two French fish ing boats having entered Newhaven harbour, Lieut. Brown, of the Coast Guard, observing that the vane at the mot-head required by the regulations affecting French vessels co.rning within three miles of the coast was not of the prescribed colour (blue), and also that the numbers and initial letters of the port to which the boats belonged were painted on only one side of the bows, conceived it to be his duty to take the captains before a magistrate. They were ac cordingly conveyed to Lewes, and examined before 11. Blackman, Esq. Mr. P. Black, the French Consul, was pre sent, and in defence stated that no copies of the regulations had been placed in the hands of the defendants, and therefore requested the magistrate to mitigate the penalty to the low est possible amount. The Consul observed, that even among our own fishermen, who could not plead such ignorance of the regulatiens, they were, as yet, only partially carried out. The defendants were then fined Bs. each, including costs ; and the French Consul promised to write to the French autho rities, suggesting that copies of the rules should be furnished to every boat, in order that the masters might not suffer from ignorance of a complicated law.—Brighton raper. • FARM LABOURERS. We have been requested to insert the following letter from Mr. Paget to Mr. Cobden, in explanation of a com munication which was quoted by the latter gentleman in the course of the debate of Tuesday last : • Ruddington Grange, March 14, 1844. My dear Sir,—lt is a great satisfaction to me to find the statement I sent to you so fully confirmed by Lord . Worsley. He takes a farm which is entirely arable, while the one whose expenses I stated is 230 arable, 170 pasture, which is a fair proportion for the Midland Counties. His rent is divided between the landlord and the clergyman, mine is paid entirely to one landlord. He takes a farm which requires an outlay for manure equal to half the rent, I one which will maintain its fertility at an expenditure of one-twelfth the rent in artificial manure ; and if you refer tg_the explanation appended to my statement, you will see that I consider it applicable to the heavy and mixed lands, and that for the poorer light lands a rectification was required for the quantity of manure purchased. Now let us take Lord Worsley's statement ; he takes Landlord's rent XB - 00 Z 1,000 Tithe rent... ...... 2OO A Add excess of manure 360 £1,360 His horses keep ought to be treated like his seed corn ; it is not an outgoing from the farm, but an ab straction from the diposable produce. His other expenses are — Farm labour £Boo Mechanics or Tradesmen's bills . . 9OO Parochial rates Interest of capital 2OO £1,350 go that, had his land been of such a quality that it would have required only 1401. instead of 300 L to main tain its fertility, he would, of course, have paid 3601. more rent. The result then would have been— Rent * Other expenses Manure l4O .£1,490 Had one-third of the land been old turf, the expenses would have been reduced 2001., so that Lord Worsley more than confirms my statement. I see the Lothian farmers estimate the landlord's share at one-half, while I only state it at 255. out of 555. for England. I believe the opposition you meet with is from an honest conviction that a change would be injurious to the tenant and labourer ; lam therefore very sorry that your Committee has been refused. I am, my dear Sir, very truly yours, CHARLES PAGET. Richard Cobden, Esq., M.P. WELSH MELODIES. Mr. Kibbey delivered the second of his course of lectures •on the above subject at the Music Hall, Store-street, on Friday evening last, on which occa sion he was assisted by Misses Cubitt, Thornton, and Porter; Messrs. Leason, Ellis Robert, Welsh harper, and Talhaiarn, the penillion singer. Mr. Kibbey appears to be deeply versed in Druidic lore, and as familiar with the writings, history, and character of Taliesin, as Mr. Wilson is with those of his favourite, Burns. The Welsh melodies generally are of a melancholy cast, and the mode adopted by Mr. Kibbey to intro duce the different airs tends to depress the spirits of his audience, which are enlivened only by the very superior performance of Mr. Roberts on the triple harp, and the penillion singing of Talhaiarn. The performances of the two latter were most rapturously applauded and unanimously encored. National music being the fashion of the day, we entertain very little doubt that the beautiful melodies of Cambria will soon become very popular favourites. To 'ive them a fair chance, however, such as Glyndwr s war-song and the prophecy of the inspired bard, they should be entrusted to a male singer, and we would re commend Mr. Kibbey to be rather less senti mental, and to introduce some lively anecdotes, of which there is no dearth in the principality.

Jam, on her way from the Piraeus to Smyrna, ran aground in the bay of Caristo, in the island of Negro_ poet. The weather was extremely tempestuous, and the night very dark. On the first intimation of the event, Rear.Admlral Le Bay, Commander of the Levant station, hastened to seed to the assistance of the Creole the war steamer Castor, of 120. horse power, and Capt. Sir C. Sullivan, Commander of her Britannic Majesty's ship of war the Formidable, who was also at the Piraeus, placed at his disposal the Vesuvius, a steamer of the British navy, of l2o.horse power. On the 27th of the same month the latter steamer, com manded by Mr. Ominaney, brought back the Creole to the Pirwus. Rear-Admiral Le Ray speaks in high terms of the cor. (Hatay and readiness with which Captain Sir C. Sullivan offered him the assistance of the Vesuvius, and •of the services rendered on that occasion to the French navy by Captain Ommanney. He has further addressed the expression of his gratitude to Admiral Owen, Commander.in.Chief of the naval forces of her Britannic Majesty in the Mediterranean. Admiral Owen hastened, in an order of the day, to make known to the officers of his squadron the letter of Rear. Admiral Le Ray, and, in expressing his satisfaction at the readiness with which officers of the British navy had rendered assistance to a French vessel in danger, he announced that he considered it his duty to lay before the Lords of the Admiralty the honourable testimony borne by the commander of the French station in favour of Captain Ommanney." The Artnoricain de Brest of the Slth inst. contains the following'—" It is known that the French and English Go vernments have adopted the generous principle of allowing the widow or heirs of the subjects of either nation who have fallen vic tims of accidents, occasioned by the servants of the other, a pen. sion at least double that which they would have obtained from their own country under similar circumstances. It is in virtue of that praiseworthy reciprocity that the British Government has just granted a pension of 506 f. to Marie Perrine Bedfort, the widow of Pierre Jean Baudquard, accidentally killed at Newfoundland in July last by a shot fired from one of the coast guard boats of the English station."
