THE ANTI-STATE-CHURCH CONFERENCE. On Tuesday delegates from all parts of England, Ireland, and Scotland, met at the Crown and Anchor, Strand, forming a Convention for the purpose of considering the best means of obtaining the severance of Church and State, and to adopt measures for the furtherance of that object. Upwards of 1,200 delegates were present, amongst whom were Dr. Bow ring, M.P. ; Mr. Sharman Crawford, M.P. ; Mr. J. S. Tre;- lawney, M.P. ; Mr. Joseph Sturge, Dr. Epps, Mr. St. D'Arcy IrVine, Rev. Dr. Pye Smith, Rev. Dr. Young, Rev. Dr. A. Thompson, Rev. Dr. Campbell, Rev. Dr. M'Farlane, Rev. Dr. Perry, Rev. Dr. Ritchie, Rev. Messrs. Carlile, Ackworth, Brake, Eckett, Mursell, Mirams, Overburv, &c. A large number of ladies were on the platform. At eleven o'clock the Rev. Dr. Cox proposed, and the Rev. Dr. Young seconded, that the chair should be taken by the Rev. John Burnet, of Camberwell. The Rev. Gentleman took his seat amid loud and continued cheering. The. Rev. J. I'. MURSELL, of Leicester, moved that the fol lowing gentlemen act as secretaries to the conference during its sittings :—Rev. Dr. Cox, Rev. John Kennedy, of Aber deen ; Mr. Edward Mall, and Mr. Josiah Condor. The Rev. Dr. CAMPBELL seconded the motion, which was carried. Business and finance committees having been appointed, The Rev. Dr. Cox read a paper detailing the circumstances which had led to the convening of the conference, and jus tifying the movement which the Dissenters had considered it desirable to make. (At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Sharman Crawford, M.P., entered the room, and was received with applause.) Dr. Cox resumed—A blow was - lately aimed at the inter ests of Protestant Nonconformity, in the shape of an edu cation scheme, which its author termed an olive branch, but Which was Soon discovered to be a rod.;--(Laughter and cheers.) The spirit of the Dissenters was aroused, and that obnoxious Bill was signally defeated. In the inactivity and carelessness of the Dissenters originated Sir James Graham's Bill. If they had been up and doing that attempt at crooked legislation would never have been made; such an attempt to crush their liberties would never have been thought of. What was it such objectors would wait for? Was it until a clerical agency should be established, aided by the aristocracy, to put down Dissent ? Was it until servants were dismissed and tradesmen ruined on account of their religious principles ? Was it until fresh prosecutions were commenced for church rates, or until star-chambers and inquisitions were estab lished? Were they to wait for these? No, perish the idea. Now was the time to make an aggressive movement on the Church. The ineffectiveness of a mere defensive position was apparent.—(Hear, hear.) The Reformation, and even Christianity itself, had been obtained by aggressive measures The Church and State question was the great question of the day, and the stand-still policy would never do. The stream was too strong for them to remain inactive ; if they did not resist it they wouldbe borne down by the current. The Rev. Gentleman concluded by urging on the conference the necessity of decided steps being taken. With union on their flags, they would soon have to write victory on their records.—(Loud cheers.) Dr. Cox, having concluded his paper, stated that as far as Parliamentary grants (the Regium Donum) were concerned, he thought some steps should be taken. For some years he had been a distributor of those grants, but from that moment he declared he would have nothing more to do with them. This announcement was received with deafening cheers. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD, M.P., then rose to address the meeting, and spoke at considerable length. Mr. CHILDS, of Bungay, moved that the paper read by the Rev. Dr. Cox should be entered upon the records of the con ference. The Rev. W. BROCK, of Norwich, having seconded the riklution, it was put to the meeting, and carried nem. dis. The Rev. Dr. YOUNG, of Perth, moved a resolution affirm ing that the conference was not intended to be a demonstra tion of Nonconformist strength, but that its object was the disenthralment of religion from the influence of secular control. The resolution also affirmed that a mere defen sive policy would be unavailing in the present position of affairs. Mr. ROBINSON, of Kettering, seconded the resolution, which was agreed to. Dr. BowRING, M.P., felt it a duty and privilege to be pre sent that day to express his cordial concurrence in the ob jects of the conference, and to offer his co-operation.— (Cheers.) He hoped the convention would sow the good seed of religious liberty, and that they would see it grow up into universal religious emancipation, and that their children might rest under its shade—the shade produced by the nobi lity of religious truth. A paper on the efficiency of the voluntary principle, written by Dr. Wardlaw, of Glasgow, was read by the Rev. J. Car lile ; after which the Rev. Dr. Pye Smith, the Rev. John Jordan Davis ' and Griffith Evans, Esq., addressed the con ference, which then adjourned.

The room was filled with delegates, upwards of 1,000 being present. At eleven o'clock the Rev. Dr. YOUNG, of Perth, took the chair, and congratulated the delegates on the spirit which had been manifested on the preceding day. The Rev. Mr. SHOEBOTIIAM, of Dundee, was then an nounced. A short time since he and his fellow countrymen thought that they were to have the battle all to themselves in the north, but now they had crossed the border to witness the scene of conflict in England.—(Loud cheers.) As in Scotland, so in - England, moral suasion and moral force must be employed; in moral measures there was enough of power to throw off the incubus which a national Establishment had placed on Christianity. They (the Dissenters) had been taunted by the charge of belonging to the movement party. He, for one, did not deny it. Change was the law of the universe ; everything changed but Jehovah, and as to be longing to the movement party, he gloried in it, and forward they would proceed in their course until they succeeded in obtaining the full triumph of the Gospel.—(Loud cheers.) The Rev. Gentleman addressed the meeting at great length, and concluded by proposing the first resolution, which was a summary of a paper read on the preceding evening. It affirmed that in the judgment of the Conference the union of the Church with the State had been proved, by a long and varied course of experience, to be highly injurious and productive of the most deplorable results, both political and spiritual; that all historical evidence led to the conclu sion that national establishments for securing the stated ob servance of Divine ordinances and the promulgation of reli gious truth, were maintained chiefly for political purposes, were essentially secular rather than religious institutions, and merged the spiritual interests of men in the attempt to further;.the ends of civil rulers ; that the endowment by the State of any class of clergy had never failed to render them tin abettors of oppression ; that State churches, wherever they existed, and under every variety of modification, tended to enhance the bitterness of political strife, to deepen feel ings of alienation between class and class, and to infuse into the discussion of all leading topics of national policy a spirit of intolerance and bigotry; that the claims which they set up and enforce restricted in every way the rights of citizen ship, rendered just, impartial, and comprehensive legislation an impracticability, checked the free action o f political insti tutions, and clogged the whole machinery of civil govern ment, seriously retarded the progress of popular education, and threw a seemingly religious sanction over the most un righteous principles of State policy; that, great as were the political evils resulting from the union of Church and State, they sunk into insignificance when compared with the in juries inflicted by it upon the spiritual interests of mankind, and that Christianity had had to contend with no external and institutional impediment more formidable than State churches; that by establishments the amount of pious and benevolent zeal on the part of the people was repre sse d ; an d that the union of Church and State was the largest, the most specious, and the most fatal obstacle which Christianity in these realms had to encounter. The Rev. Mr. EDWARDS (of Nottingham) seconded the re solution. The resolution was put to the meeting, and carried nem. dis. The Rev. J. W. MAestE (of Manchester) then read a paper reviewing the various forms and degrees in which the principles of the union of Church and State is carried out in the ecclesiastical arrangements of the British Govern ment, both in the United Kingdom and in the colonies and dependencies of the empire. On the motion of the Rev. J. E. Gluts, of Leeds, seconded by the Rev. Mr. Kuto, of Cork, a resolution embodying the facts of Mr. Massie's paper, was put to the meeting and car ried with but two dissentients. This circumstance was oc casioned by some reflections on the Unitarians, but the re marks objected to were eventually struck out by mutual agreement. It was resolved,—" That in contending for the separation of the Church from the State, this Conference contemplates an ultimate appeal to the Imperial Parliament for the fol lowing objects :—First, for the repeal of all those laws which render either the profession or the disavowal of any form of religious faith and worship, or the subscription, or recital, or adoption, in any way, of any declaration containing or im plying a pledge of a certain line of conduct towards any re ligious body or institution, a necessary qualification for t he exercise of any public office or employment, or . the on the ministers of any religion, in any of stationits forms, which confer public right, as such, to fill any Parliamentary office, or to perform any public or State funct ion, or which exclude all ministers of religion, exc ept ices of religion on those attached to a specified sect, from conducting sell occa sions of State ceremony, and before a either of the two Houses l bodies or institutions, or of Parliament, and other nation al which devote public money r , whether n taken out of the Parlia mentary taxes, or ny branch of the national revenue, or public property ; n etherw consisting of lands, buildings, or otherwise, to the support of any form of religious faith or worship, or which, on the ground of religious faith or wor ship, exempt fro m public paymen ts, or create distinctions of an y nature, h onou rable or otherw ise . Secondly, f or t h e enac t me nt of laws, entirely abolishing public exactions in support of any form of religious faith or worship, and re suminginto the hands of Parliament (with due regard to the life interests of actual beneficiaries, and to the equitable claims of all other parties), for application to purposes strictly national, and purely secular, all lands, buildings, and other property, at any time granted by Parliament for the support of religious faith or worsnip in any form, or for the exclusive use of men or bodies of men, professing or maintaining any description of religious faith or worship." After the transaction of some routine business the Confer ence was adjourned; its deliberations will be closed this day. OPENING OF THE BRICKLAYERS' ARMS STATION OF THE CROYDON RAlLWAY.—Yesterday morning the branch line was opened, despite the lamentable accident which hap pened so recently. Everything is again restored, and the greatest pains have been taken to render safety doubly se scure by cross braces and struts to the roofs, &c. The whole of the platform, passages, and waiting-rooms, to , the extent of at least 40,000 feet,",have been laid by the Seyssel Asphalte Company, and present a remarkably even surface, and is indeed so close a resemblance to a light coloured slate, that until the spectator's attention is drawn to the tablets in serted here and there in the asphalte, he is left in surprise as to the manner in which so large a surface could be so uni formly laid down. There is also the fiat roof of the colon nade laid with the same material in lieu of lead. It contains five thousand feet, and is free from those rolls which are ne cessary to secure the joints of that metal. The fisade of the terminus is a very novel one, and reflects great credit upon Mr. Lewis Cubitt, the architect ; and the whole of the works, which have been entrusted to Messrs. Grissell and Peto, are finished in the best possible manner. THE MURDER ON BATTERSEA BRIDGE. Yesterday Mr. Carter held an inquest at the Swan and Magpie, Battersea-bridge-road, on the body of Sarah Eleanor M'Farlane, aged forty-five years, the unfortu nate female who was murdered on Monday night, some particulars of which appeared in The Sun yesterday. The jury having viewed the body, which lay at the late residence of the deceased, No. 13, Bridge-road, Bat tersea, the following evidence was laid before them. Helen Gibson stated that she resided at No. 1, CuTni stock-terrace, Battersea, and that the deceased was her sister. She was a widow, and the last time witness saw her alive was on Monday afternoon. On that night, from incorcnation she received, she went to the Swan, and saw the deceased lying in the passage covered with blood. She was subsequently removed to her own home, and witness then saw that she had a wound in her throat. A male person was in the habit of coming to her sister's house to visit his family, who lodged with the deceased. The person she alluded to wished to pay his addresses to her, and had offered her marriage. The lain:lacy was occasioned by her taking charge of his family, when he ran away in June last year. She was aware that he had published the banns of marriage, but she did not think her sister con templated marrying him, as her friends were opposed to the connexion. She was confirmed in this belief by a letter which she found in a box belonging to her sister that morning addressed to her by this person. He for merly lived next door to the deceased. Latterly he had been in the habit of visiting his children at her sister's. He was named Augustus Dalmas. Dalmas was a manu facturing chemist, and was in the employ of Mr. Groves, at Battersea. The last time she saw him was on Mon day fortnight. James Andrews, a labourer, said that on Monday night he was passing over Battersea-bridge in a cart, a few minutes after eleven o'clock, from Chelsea, when he noticed a man and woman behind him. The man was dressed in a black frock-coat and white trousers, and the female had hold of his arm. On getting near the centre of the bridge he saw a man looking over the parapet, and he hallooed out to him, " Don't jump over the bridge." On the cart stopping to pay toll, the gatekeeper said to the other man in the cart," Jump down, here is a woman in a fit." Witness looked and saw the woman bleeding from a wound in the neck, and told his companion to untie her bonnet ; but before he did so, witness jumped out of the cart and did it himself. The only words he heard the deceased utter were, " Oh, dear! oh, dear!" Two policemen came up, and he assisted the policemen in carrying her into the Swan. • In answer to questions from the CORONER, the witness said be saw nothing in the conduct of the man and wo man to attract any particular attention, or to excite his suspicion. Richard Messenger said, he was passing over the bridge on Monday;night, in company with his wife, when he saw a man looking over the bridge. On passing he looked earnestly at them, but witness did not take par ticular notice of him. hen they arrived near the toll house, his wife called out, " There is a woman falling to the ground." He hurried forward, and saw a woman lying on the ground, bleeding from a wound in her neck. He saw no other person on the bridge, with the exception of the man he before alluded to, and two men in a knacker's cart, which passed a few yards in ad vance of himself. By the CORONER—Did not see any man dressed in a surtout coat and white trousers. He was dressed in that way himself. He had not seen the man he alluded to since, nor did he think he could swear to him if he were - to see him again. Mr. Wm. Parkins said, on Monday night, about twenty minutes to eleven o'clock, he was crossing Bat tersea bridge on his way home from Stockwell, vhen, on getting about twenty-five paces on the bridge he stopped and looked into the water to see the state of the tide. Whilst So doing he heard an exclamation of "Oh dear I oh dear I" and on looking saw a female coming from the crown of the bridge on the right-hand side. On seeing him she came across, and said, " Will you be good enough to take me to the toll-house ?" She took hold of him by the hand, and feeling her weak, or reeling, as he supposed a tipsy woman might be, he asked why she wanted him to see her to the toll-house ? She re plied, " Some one has cut me." He then held her firmly to prevent her from falling, but she slipped from him on seeing the toll-keeper run towards him. On looking at his hands he found they were covered with blood, and then followed the woman to the toll-house. He asked the toll-keeper what was the matter ? and he replied that she said some one had cut her. She was then being supported by two females, and he saw that she was bleeding from a wound in the neck. She appeared sen sible, but he did not hear her speak. Whilst she was lying upon the ground he heard a person say that her tame was M`Farlane, and that Dalmas had done it. He did not hear the deceased say so. He afterwards went to wash his hands, and on his return he found she had expired. Thomas Hall, the toll-keeper's evidence, was merely a repetition of the statement of the foregoing witnesses. In answer to questions from the CORONER, he stated that he was acquainted with Dalmas, but had not seen him for some time previous to Monday, and that on that day he did not notice him pass over the bridge. Mr. William Gosling , la ndlord of the Swan, having deposed t a o d a a d , e c t e h a a s t e , d being on a policemanbroug ht i e n e t h coming inigs in, house, thh e officer asked the deceased who had done it, whe . n s e replied, very faintly, "Dalmas." At the suggestion witness, the policeman asked again, " Was it Palmas?" v when ce,ai she y r e e s p , i e yes d s t i l n a c t a l bout ,y but a x i n ul l a v u e t r e y s weak r t t h o n e e dhe o e_ f ceased mentioned his name she ce ased to exist, and believed that to be her dying expression. • Mr. William Connor M.D., of Battersea, said he saw the deceased on Monday night, and found her lying in the passage of the Swan. She was the n q uite dead.On examining her person, he found In inci sed wound on the right side of the neck of about three inches in length, and at the upper extremities of the wou nd an irch in depth. The wound appeared to have been made by one cut with some exceedingly sharp instrument. The edges were not at all lacerated. The large muscles of the neck were cut through, as was also the right lobe of the theroid gland and both the internal jugular veins on the right side. There was no other injury on any other part of he: person. It was impossible for her to have done it herself, as the person who did it must have been behind her, and on the right side. Police-constable 36 V, corroborated the fa7ct that the deceased had stated that Dalmas was the person who had inflicted the injuries upon her. She was fully aware of her dying state when she said this. She died in about five minutes after. Dalmas had not yet been taken into custody although every inquiry had been made after him. Mr. Miles, of Chapel-place, Brompton, where Dalmas resided, said he went up with the policeman to Ma mas' room, and found several letters, which were now in the custody of the police. Augusta Dalmas, daughter of the accused party, said that she saw her father on Monday last at half-past eight. He brought her box, as she was going to her situa tian. Mra. Macfarlane went with her. Witness's father expressed how much he was indebted to Mrs. Macfarlane for her kindness to his daughter ; and Mrs. Macfarlane and witness then entered the house, and after waiting there ten minutes Mrs. Macfarlane bade her good night, and witness did not see her again. Her father and the deceased were on very intimate terms. She had not seen her father since. Elizabeth Mungham knew deceased, but had not seen her for seven years till Monday evening, when she was standing outside of the White Hart public-house door, in Duke-street, Chelsea, near the bridge. Saw a man and deceased walking in the direction of the bridge. He said something that she did not hear, but the deceased replied, "I cannot think of stopping out to night." He had on a frock coat and broad-brimmed hat. She had on a light dress, black shawl, trimmed white bonnet, and boa. Saw her again about two o'clock last Tuesday morning lying dead. Was sure it was the same female who passed to the bridge. Augusta Dalmas was re-called, and stated that Mrs. Macfarlane was dressed as described by the last witness, and that her father was in a suit of black, with dress, not frock coat on. Charlotte Georgians Dahlias, the eldest daughter, said that she was in service at 18, Montpelier square. Last saw her father on Monday night, at about 11 o'clock. She was sitting down stairs; and heard a cough. Knew it was her father, and went up. She saw him on the steps of the door, and said "Father, how are you this evening ?" He did not reply, but took his pocket-book out of bis pocket and put it in her hand. She thought his manner very extraordinary, and he ap peared very pale and haggard. She said "Father, what is the matter." He took her by the hand and said, "You must take it, (the pocket-book), I have poisoned Mrs. Macfarlane." She fell on her knees, and said "0, father, what have yon been doing?" He then stated that he had attempted to do so, but had not done it, and soon after went away. On the same day, about one o'clock, she saw him at the corner of Montpelier-square, and he then pulled her shawl on one side and felt dier neck. She said "Father, what are you about ;" and he MAJORITY-NOES, 97. Aglionby, H. A. Forster, Matthew Pechell, Captain Aldam, William Gardner, J. D. Philips, M.

The site of the terminus is very beautiful, commanding a very extensive view on each side of the road. At Cowley- bridge the line takes a sweep, which carries it to Rewe, through a deep cutting. It then leaves the Valley of the Exe to pursue the Valley of Culm as far as Collumpton, where it leaves the river, and reaches the Tiverton-road station, about fourteen miles from Exeter and four from Tiverton. There is an intermediate station at Hele, about nine miles from Exeter. At the Tiverton-road, station it takes the Vale of Holicombe to the White Ball Tunnel, join ing the road, which has been for some time open, at Beam bridge.

Reports were current in Paris that the health of the King was not very satisfactory. He had not taken his usual ex ercise, and there had been no public receptions tor two days. Not much credit, however, is to be attached to these reports, for we find that the King, Queen, and Royal family, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and other illustrious guests of the King and Queen of the French, enjoyed on Tuesday a private view of the exhibition in the splendid temporary range of buildings erected for that purpose on the Grand Carrd of the Champs Elysees. In the evening the " recep tions " customary on the eve of the King's fete were to take place. On Monday the Duke de Montpensier arrived at Paris from Marseilles. The Duchess of Orleans visited Dreux last week, accompa nied by the Duke de Praslin and a lady of honour. Lady Georgina Fane, and General Sir William and Lady Lumley, had arrived at Paris. The following promotions have been made by the King in the Legion of Honour :—To be Grand Cross, Vice-Admiral Arnoux ; to be Commander, Rear-Admiral Hamelin ; to be Officers, Captains Tavenet, Guayde, Taradel, Vaillant, and Monay. The Presse states that the Bank of France has abandoned its intention of issuing notes of circulation of 250 f. The Presse deplores this determination, as the proposed measure was anxiously desired by the public. M. Sellier, an opposition candidate, has been elected De puty at Cherbourg, in the room of M. de Briqueville, deceased. He had 292 votes ; and his opponent, General Meslin, 288. Letters from Rome announce the death of Cardinal Pacca, the Dean or Senior of the Sacred College, on the 19th inst. He was born at Benevento, on the 25th December, 1756, and made Cardinal by Pius VII. in 1801. The Great Liverpool arrived at Alexandria on the 18th, with 112 passengers for India. • The last accounts received from Syria announced that 200 inhabitants of Hasbeya, a village situate at the foot of Mount Lebanon, had abjured the Greek orthodox religion to embrace Protestantism. LAW AND POLICE. At the Mansion-house two young men, named Hart and Johnson, who were fashionably dressed, and had very much the appearance of medical students, and a little boy named Johnny Britan, who walked between the other two in quality of a little brother, were brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having made repeated attempts to pick pockets. They stoutly asserted their innocence, but the Lord Mayor nevertheless sent them for three months to Bridewell as rogues and vagabonds. At Guildhall a summons was granted against an informer named Birch, evidence having been given showing that he had used the laws and the summonses of the Court as the means of extorting money, by laying informations and com promising them with the parties accused. Mr. Alderman Copeland male some severe remarks on the whole gang of informers, who, he said, used the laws, not for the public good, but merely for the sake of extortion ; and expressed a determination to sift the matter to the bottom. _ _ . William Burton Newenham, charged with the abduction of Miss Wortham, was again brought up at Clerkenwell for examination, and again remanded. The prisoner said that he conceived himself to be very much ill-used. He had been harassed week after week, and it struck him that there was a decided feeling against him on the part of the Magistrate. C6IIIT-F.ASSIO - NBlO LE. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by their Roya, Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal and Alice, are expected to leave Buckingham Palace, on Satur day, for Claremont, where the Court will remain until Tues day or Wednesday. The contemplated Royal visit to Os borne House, East Cowes, Isle of Wight, is not expected to take place until the end of the month, and her Majesty's so journ there will be brief. We hear that the Queen is not ex pected to hold any more Drawing-rooms during the present season, but it is probable his Royal Highness Prince Albert will hold one or two more Levees on behalf of her Majesty. Yesterday the Duke of Wellington, accompanied by the Marchioness of Douro, visited the Royal Adelaide Gallery, and was conducted ever the establishment and shown the various models and scientific inventions by Dr. Jones. The Duke sat for his portrait in the Daguerreotype rooms of M. Claudet, and expressed himself much delighted with the pro ductions of Mr. Fox Talbot's calotype. In the evening his Grace dined with the Count and Countess St. Aulaire, at Manchester House, where a grand banquet was given by his Excellency, in honour of the fete day of his Majesty the King of the French. The Earl of Mount Edgecumbe is expected to leave Mount Edgecumbe, near Plymouth, at the end of next week, for Curzon-street, for the season. The Countess, who is staying at Lads Elizabeth Fielding's, in Sackville-street, will suc ceed the Marchioness of Douro as Lady in Waiting on her Majesty. On Tuesday last, at Willie Park, near Wenlock, Viscount Newport, M.P., eldest son of the Earl of Bradford, led to the altar the Hon. Selina Louisa Forester, youngest daughter of the late and sister to the present Lord Forester, and niece to the Duke of Rutland. The ceremony was performed by the Hon. and Rev. Orlando Forester, Rector of Broseley, in the presence of the Earl of Bradford and the Ladies Bridgman, the Hon. Colonel and Mrs. Anson, the Hon. Captains Charles and Cecil Forester, and other branches of the family. The annual banquet of the General Militia of the United Kingdom tookplace last evening, at the Freemasons' Tavern ; Colonel Lord Dinorben, Royal Anglesea Regiment, in the chair, s u pported by the Marquis of Huntly, the Hon. G. Rice Trevor, M.P., Colonel Sir J. Shaw, Sir Thomas M. Wilson, Major Carrick, and a numerous muster of officers of the West Kent, East Middlesex, 2d West York, and Royal Anglesea Regiments. 2VIISCIIIMANEOUS. The annual distribution of prizes to the pupils and students of Charing-cross Hospital most distinguished for their acquire ments in the various branches of medical study, and for good conduct during the past session, took place on Wednesday, in the lecture- room of the hospital, which was filled with the friends of the pupils and those interested in the institution. It has just been notified to the authorities of Eton College, that his Royal Highness Prince Albert will lay the foundation stone of the extensive new buildings which are to be erected forthwith, at an expense of 26,000/., immediately contiguous to the ancient edifice, in that portion of the premises known as Weston's-yard. The Fortieth Anniversary Meeting of the British and Foreign Bible Society was held on Wednesday, in Exeter hall, under the presidency of Lord Bexley. The meeting was not probably so well attended as on former occasions, for the room was not more than three-fourths tilled. Amongst the gentlemen on the platform were the Marquis of Cholmon deley, the Earl of Chichester, Viscount Sandon, M.P., the Bishops of Worcester and Cashell, Lord Teignmouth, Mr. Evans, M.P., Mr. Plumptre. M.P., General Sir J. Bathurst, the Dean of Salisbury, the Archdeacon of Win chester, Hon. and Rev. B. W. Noel, &c. From the report it appeared that the Society had now translated the Bible into 138 languages and dialects, and had, during the past year, issued nearly 1,000,000 copies. The total receipts of the year were 98,0001. The annual meeting of the Colonial Church Society was held in the evening in the same place, Captain Sir E. Parry, R.N., presided. The Hon. W. Cowper, M.P., Mr. J. P. Plumptre, M.P., Mr. G. Finch, Mr. J. Labouchere, the Rev. A .Thelwall, and a great number of the lay and clerical friends of the Society were on the platform. The secretary read the report, which gave a detailed account of the Society's opera tions in Nova Scotia, Western Australia, the Cape of Good Hope, the Bahama Islands, and various other parts of the world. The subscriptions and donations received during the past year amounted to 3,7751., exclusive of collections in the colonies. THE FACTORIES BILL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. herewith inclose a paragraph from the Northern Star newspaper, which pays a just tribute of respect to the editor of The Sun, for his humane exertions on behalf of the poor factory-workers, and in which mark of respect I am sure the whole body to which I have the honour to belong will most cordially subscribe. Gratefully yours, May 1, 1844. A WORKING MAN. " One Liberal newspaper stands pre-eminently distinguished for its bold and manly course upon this question. The Sun has established for itself a just title to the thanks and support of every lover of justice and humanity. It has boldly stepped out from the fold, and manfully taken its legitimate position as the leader of Liberal opinions upon this all important question; and, as a consequence, we find some of its articles upon the Ten Hours Bill written in a spirit that warms the heart of every sufferer, carrying conviction to the minds of the opponents of this measure, if not ensuring their co-opera tion." OPENING OF TRAFALGAR-SQUARE. Yesterday morning the public were agreeably surprised to find that Trafalgar-square was thrown open, and many availed them selves of the opportunity thus afforded of perambulating this noble area. The workmen, have, however, not yet left, as the asphalte pavement is not yet completed, nor are the jets d'eau et in play, although the basins have been charged with water - for several days. The base of the Nelson column is still surrounded with a hoarding, and part of the upper scaf folding still remains.' In a days the equestrian statue of George 111. will be removed from its present site, facing Messrs. Ransom's, to the vacant pedestal at the west end of the terrace in Trafalgar-square, and opposite the statue of George IV. The day for holding the grand nautical fete, at which several of the pensioners from Greenwich Hospital will be present, will be shortly appointed. BANQUET AT MANCHESTER HOUSE.--A sumptu ous banquet (was given yesterday by his Excellency the Count St. Aulaire, in honour of the birthday of his Majesty the Bing of the French.

AQUATICS. • The arrangements for the forthcoming season, of the seve. ral clubs interested in aquatic sports, are now pretty well con cluded, and under circumstances that leave no doubt of a brilliant and delightful season, such indeed as has not• been sustained for some time back; this remark may particularly apply to the grand summer festival of the metropolitans= the Thames Regatta, which will take place under the usual management, about the middle of June; the exact time, how ever, will be made known at the general meeting of the club. A large sum has been subscribed towards the 111114 and amongst the contributors are the Vice-Chancellor of England, Lord Castlereagh, and several other noblemen and gentlemen. The regattas of the Royal Squadron will take place as usual, and the general prizes, including her Majesty's and 'other cups, will be contended for. Several yachts are undergoing the necessary alterations for the season, and are being other wise prepared. The total number is about 86, of which are entered those of the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Earl of Wilton, the Earl of Dysart, Sir T. M. Wilson, Sir J. H.

CAST-IRON LlGirrnousa.—The attention of the curious for some time past has been directed to an immense iron building which, for the last two or three months, has been progressing under the auspices of its builders, Messrs. Cottam and Hellen, iron-founders of the Cornwall-road, Lambeth. It is to be a lighthouse made entirely of cast iron, one of the first, if not the first, that has ever been con structed. It is composed of 130 iron plates, averaging eight `feet by six, and an inch and a quarter thick. These plates, ten of which make a circumference, are connected together by wrought-iron bolts, screws, and sheet-iron, the inter stices being filled up with cement. Its diameter at the base is 24 feet, gradually decreasing to a width of 14 at the top, where it is surmounted by a gallery 20 feet wide, which is encircled by iron railings 4 feet high. In the centre of this gallery is the lantern, surmounted by a cone 8 feet high, and which is also made of cast-iron. Its total altitude is 137 feet. The top of the building is gained by a staircase of iron fixed to the sides. The structure is divided into nine cham bers, the floors and ceilings of which are made of shed-iron fastened to the sides and to a cast-iron pillar, which goes to the top of the building. It is lighted by windows 18 incho square, and glazed with strong plate glass. Its total weight is about 300 tons.

The question then, comes to be, what are the Corn-lawßepealers to do ? Or how, to put the question in another form, Is the Minister to be prevailed on to disregard the threats of the landed oligarchy, and carry his free trade views into effect ? for that Sir Robert Peel is a free trader in heart, there can, as Lord Kinnaird remarked last night, be no doubt. We concur with Mr. Ricardo in thinking, that there is no hope of corn law repeal while the present Parliament lasts. It is exceed ingly doubtful whether, even were the Premier to make the attempt, he would succeed in abolishing the bread monopoly with the present Parliament. The landed interest is too strong for him. Another general election must take place before the oligarchical power can be crushed in the Commons. Let the friends of free trade, then, make the requisite prepa rations for such an event ; and let them commence imme diately. There is no time to be lost. A general election cannot be very remote ; it may be much nearer than is gene rally supposed. It may be at hand. One thing is certain, that if Sir Robert Peel should make up his mind to abolish the corn monopoly, the very first thing he will do will be to dissolve Parliament. Let, then, the League hold themselves in readiness for any contingency that may be taken by surprise when it does happ en.—Ath ere horse occur, r an . d not DEATR Or ANOTHER STEEPLE-CHASE R.— 'T helich ran at the St. Botolph's, the property of Mr. Stokes,d su bsequently in a w Tenby steeple-chase on the B t h ult., an private steeple-chase at Haverfordwest w hich it won, 'died a few days since from inflammation, the supposed consequence of a cold caught after the last race. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY. — Y es t er day o f Directors was held at t he East India House, when Ma j or- General Sir George Pollock, G.C.8., was appointed a pro visional member of the Council of India. On Monday last Lord Robert Grosvenor visited the printing establishment of Mr. Spottiswoode, and the type foundry of Mr. Caslon. His Lordship, who is about to pre side at the ensuing anniversary dinner of the Printers' Pen sion Society, wished to obtain some insight into the nature of the business, and learn from personal observation how the employment of a printer is calculated to engender the dis eases to which he is said to be liable. His Lordship made very minute inquiries into the details of the business both of the printer and the type-founder, particularly as to the amount of their earnings, and the number of hours they were employed. His Lordship was accompanied by the Secretary of the Society daring his visit, which occupied him quite three hours, and expressed himself much gratified with what he had am pOST-OFFICE MEDAL.
