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 Hon. A. R. Blake, Hon. Villiers Stuart, Sir T. B. Len nard, D. R. Ross, Esq., Ni.P.; W. C. Collett, Esq., M.P.; Tuite, Esq, M.P.; lion. 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 theme, year clothed and educated 550 poor IT* children Wilt 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 apprenticeship. He had always felt on these anniversary fetes 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 paraded 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 o f th e s ki es . I t was obvious, however, that this period had not yet arrived. He bad 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." G BEAT BRITAIN MUTUAL LIFE AS SURANCE SOCIETY, 14, WARTERLOO-PLACE, LONDON.

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 amouut 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 2/. 6s. per annum for an Assurance of 1001., would be required to pay 11. 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 r e d uce hi s future Anual Pre miums to very little more than the half Premium of 11. 3s. originally paid by him. The Great Britain is the only Mutual Assurance Society 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.

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 Clonanel, 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 1,300,000/. for the entire work, including stations, carrying establishment, fte.. complete, being at the rate! of 11,0001. per mile. From Mr. Macneill's great professional experience, and from e successfhl and economical manner in which he has" just brought he If üblln and Drogheda Railway works to a completion within his s t !mate, the Committee has every.confidence that the calculations - fished by him for the present work will be found sufficient. It is Ihrtimate that the nature of the tountry through which the line 1 to be made is finch, that, in the e v en t o f th e atmosp h er i c pr i nc i p l o f transit being found from experience to be preferable to" that of lo °- motive engines, it may b e a pplied t o thi s R a il way w i thout any - 1 convenience or disadvantage, as ne deefser,cuttings or emiSankme is would be required for the locomotive, than 'would be prudent or d - 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 e turns on which the calculation of traffic' is founded, are taken fl'Om those published by the Railway Commissioners, -and which, by a subsequent inquiry, are found to be considerably underrated.

W and WESTERN SHEFFIELD AND CHESTERFIELD JUNCTION RAILWAY. The writer of a paragraph appearing in the "Morning Herald" of to-day, entitled "Defeat of the Barnsley Junction Railway," has taken the opportunity of insinuating that the Sheffield and Ches terfield Junction Railway is opposed by the North Midland, and that each 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 tion to any railway which might thereafter be projected from Shef field to join their line at a point north of the Clay-cross Tunnel.

Superior workmen are employed en the premises in the repairing department, both for watches and clocks.

W. and Son's publication, witk the Equation of Time for 1844, will be sent, post free, on the receipt of two stamps. The traffic already existing between Chatham, Gravesend, and London, is well-known to be very large, and it cannot be doubted that, when the communication with the Metropolis is reduced in time to one hour, the Railway conveyance will obtain a decided preftrence to the river. When to this are added the prospective ad vantages that may be derived from passengers landing at Thames Haven, and the economy of the construction, and the Parliamentary expenses, which have already been paid, the intended Line promises a mare liberal return than any other at present in contemplation. It is intended to confine the operations for the present to a single line, with Yttiea ; and responsible parties have offered to perform the works to the satisfaction 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 on all payments from the date of fUture 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. EST LONDON RAILWAY.

As the capital proposed to be raised far exceeds the estimated cost of tke site and works of the proposed extension line, and is in tended to provide also a flind for the purchase of land, and •User 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 to the undertaking, such excess of property, if so pur chased, shall, with all convenient speed, ho resold, and the proceeds applied in the purchase and extinction of Knightsbridge extension shares, in manner mentioned In clause 10, next following; and if the Company be not required to purchase more land than is 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. " Wliitehall, Feb. 26, 1844. " Sir,—l am directed by the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade 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. ..... 10. When and so often as there shall be, either from the resale of lan4 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 lewes.t 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 purchase, the shares co to be bought shall be extin guished, and merged in the undertaking ; and this operation shall be repeated as often as there shall be funds in the hands of the Directors available for the purpose. 11. A portion of the shares mentioned in the third reselntion to 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 shares 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 Di rec t ors, at t h e Company's offices, Abchurch-lane, London, of the intenti on t o t a k e up such new shares. 13. That every Proprietor not duly paying, on or befor e th e d ay t o he named by the Directors, s uch deposit of 2/, 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 instal 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 mfrequest been signed, or which shall not have been 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 i 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 further distribution or offer 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 daring the time such in stalment or instalments shall be in arrear and remain nnpaid 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 further, 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 by the Board of Directors become and be absolutely forfeited. 15. That this Meeting do authorise and empower the Directors to carry out the foregoing resolutions by all proper legal instruments. - "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 earnest! 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 " Genevese Traveller," the New York cor respondent of the Times, in his last commun i cat i on, says—" A great object of interest to our citizens at this. time is the United States war steamer Princeton, just built under the superintendence of Captain Stock ton, which now lies in this harbour, and is daily visited by crowds of i n t ereste d spectators. This steamer is constructed with Ericsson s propeller. Its steam machinery is placed entirely below the water line, out of the reach of shot. Its engine is ex tremely light and simple of construction, occupying only about one-eighth of the bulk required by the ordinary British marine engine of the same power. It gives a direct motion to the axis of the propeller without the aid of co-wheels or auxiliary gearing of any description. It is styled the semi-cylindrical steam-engine, and is the invention of Captain Ericsson. For the vast power which it includes in so small a compass, and for the exquisite symmetry and proportion of all its working parts, this engine is the theme of general admiration. The armament of the Princeton in cludes two large wrought-iron guns (introduced by Captain Stockton), placed one at each end of the ship, the largest weighing ten tons, and with a bore of 12 inches, carrying a ball 2131b5. This gun is placed on a wrought-iron carriage, contrived by Captain Erics son, and which, without the use of the ordinary breaching, checks the immense recoil, and the vessel suffers but a very slight shock from the discharge. By means of this carriage, this huge gun is managed by half a dozen hands with perfect facility. The peculiarity of the steam machinery of the Princeton, and its being placed out of the reach of the shot, are supposed to give her obvious advantages over all , other steamers now afloat intended for naval warfare., The first conviction for a breach of the regulations of the new Fishery Convention between France and En - land took place on Wednesday at Le wes . T wo French fish ing boats having entered Newhaven harbour, Lieut. Brown, of the Coast Gu4rd, observing that the vane at the mast-head required by the regulations affecting French vessels coming 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 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 Paper, A TRULY VENERABLE CHARACTER.—Mrs. Fanny Myers, one of the inmates of St. Thomas's Hospital, in this town, will, provided her life be further spared,lcomplete her 103 d year in August next.—Doncaster Gazette.

The Half-premium plan of Assurance, as practised by this Company, thus enables persona to retain to their own use the one-half of the premiums for the first seven years, at 51. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or dinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be 101., the first pay ment by the half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the one 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 51.; 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, sr retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the 351. would be subtracted from the 4001. then payable by the Company.

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 hr a stock of provisions. The Lee Gazette says:—" The incessant rains of the last two days have caused the Meuse to rise very considerably. • Ourthe and the Verdre have risen to a greater height than on the previous occasion. These impetuous torrents, which carry everything before them, make as fear that the works of the railway of Le Verdre may be damaged." Accounts from other places give similar statements. BRUSSELS, MARCH 14.—The King, accol2panied 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. r The senate met to-day at two o'clock. Several Ines- I sages from the Chamb er o f R e p resen t at i ves were rea d , .

The wind having abated, and the weather become more favourable, several vessels have dropped down the river.

UTRECHt, MARCH 12.—The unfavourable weather has i delayed the departure of the Brome for Japan,. The presents for the Emperor of Japan arrived at Helvoet sluys some days ago.

AMSTERDAM, MARCH 15.—We learn that his Ma jesty the King will leave the Hague by a special train this evening at nine o'clock, and arrive hero about half past ten. His 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 Stoats Courant of the date (the 15th) 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 King 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. (Signed) " WILLIAM. " The Hague, March 14, 1844." S , " FARM LABOURERS. We hive 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 to 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 4800 I .£lOOO Tithe rent... 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 Parochial rates Interest of capital 2OO £1,350 So that, had his land been of such a quality that it would have required only 1401. instead of 500/. to main tain its fertility, he would, of course, have paid 360/. more rent. The result then would have been— Ren t Other expenses Manure l4O Had one-third of the land been old turf, the expenses would have been reduced 200/., 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 Five 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. FRIENDLY RELATIONS OF FRANCE AND ENGLAND. —The Moniker publishes the following paragraph t—" In the night of the 20th of January last the French corvette of war Creole, commanded by Capt. Jam, on her way from the Pineus to S m yrna, ran aground in the bay of Cariato, in the island of Negro. pont. The weather was extremely tempestuous, and the night very dark. On the first intimation of the event, Rear.Advlral Le Ray, Commander of the Levant station, hastened to send 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 320. horse power. On the 27th of the same month the latter steamer, cm. manded by Mr. Ommaney, brought back the Creole to the Piraeus. Rear-Admiral Le Ray speaks in high terms of the cor. diality 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 Onnoannoy. He has further addressed the expression ofhisgr o a f ti h tu e d r e n to rit A an d n m m ir m al a O je w st e y n, in C t o h m e m m an ed d i er te . r i r lC e h . i n e . f of the naval fortes 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 Armoricain de Brest of the 9th 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. time 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 50fif. to Marie Perrine Bedfort, the widow of Pierre Jean Baudward, accidentally killed at Newfoundland in July last by a shot fired from one of the coast guard boats of the English station."
