DUBLIN, APRIL 9.—The Dublin; 1 7 :reitiny Post of this afternoon publishes, in a second edition, the following letter " Cork, Easter Monday, April 8, 1814. " Before closing this letter I will ,let you know the result of the meeting convened for this day, in the Court house, for the purpose of giving expression to the in dignant feeling of this city and -province at the fresh tempt- made . upon Ireland by Lord Eliot's Registration Bill. " The popular enthusiasm is utterly indescribable — utterly indescribable by those who are unfamiliarised with the fervour, the bnrnin7, but yet perfectly regu lated fervour, of the Irish movement under O'Connell, " The corporations of Cork, Limerick, Kilkenny, Clonmel, and Waterford, haVe sent their Mayors and deputations from their bodies to give testimony to their sentiments at the prestqit crisis of O'Connells martyr dom and imprisonment, after more than forty years of public service to Ireland, unequalled by the services to his country and the human race of any other man living or who ever lived. " The following Members of Parliament are to be pre 'sent :—Daniel Callaghan, the city Member ; Edmond Roche, the county Member ; Sir David Roche, Sir . Win &ton Barron, William Smith O'Brien, Maurice O'Con nell, John O'Connell, Morgan John O'Connell, Caleb Powell, Nicholas Maher ; and Sir Richard Musgrave is, I understand, expected in. the course of the day. • "Dinner is prepared for 800, in the Lancasterian School, which has been beautifully fitted up for the oc casion. " All yesterday and this morning the Liberator's apartinenti were crowded . with friends and strangers also, both one and the other eager to give expression to their sentiments of sympathy and of indignation. " Amongst the first visitors yesterday morning was Father MatheW. "The Liberator, accompanied by the two other Ca thOlie conspiratorsthe her. Mr. Tierney, And the Member for the city of Kilkenny—yesterday attended ioass, and the threcyrotestant convicts went to church, and in the evening they al],,C a tholie and Protestant, partook of the splendid hospitality of the Mayor of Cork, Mr. Fagan, with a..large party, at his country house, in the vicinity - of this city. " Five o'clock, r .it. ! .—As I promised, I send you, be fore the post-office closes; a note of the great rrtteting.at • the Court-house. " The County Court-house was crowded almost to suffocation, the Mayer in the chair, in his robes or office; also in the same robes tl4 es-Mayor, Alderman Lyons, end, sitting on the betieh with th em , Mr. O'Con nell. • " A number of the Members of Parliament, An d of the most respectable . citizens of Cork, and gentry of the country around were present, Several admirable speeches were made, in which the repeal spirit glowed with its deepest fervour,.. as well as denunciation of Lord Eliot's net'arious' (as it was called by Edmond Roche) Regi str a t iott 'Bill. " Mr. O'Connell made a speech of extraordinary power in denunciation of the Bill of the Irish Chief Se cretary, and hip speech breathed the most obdurate re solution of perseverance, under all possible circumstances, in his efforts for the restoration of the domestic Parlia ment of Ireland, and the etitlrusiasni . with which he was heard is 'almost without precedent in Ireland. " He could venture, with perfect security, to give this pledge, for he is certain, under every possible contin gency, of the unbroken peace of Ireland. " This is the crisis of existence and of Ireland—and the talismanic influence of his name and services was never so tried as at the present hour ; but Ireland will not be lured from her 7vrantage ground, and play the game of the'enemy by any outbreak or disturbance. " The Mayor and ex-Mayor of Limerick, and about 45 of the corporation and citizens of Limerick, have just at rived. " John O'Connell, of Grena, the elder brother of the Liberator, has, I have been just this moment informed, also arrived, with a great number of the gentry of Kerry, to give testimony of their feeling on this occasion." Toole, the person in custody , charged with the mur der at Rathfarnham, - will be tried at the approaching Commission. THE LATE MURDER IN ESSEX - STREET.—Yesterday, at two-o'clock, the prisoner, John West, was removed from Mercer's Hospital teNewgate, in order to abide his trial for the crime of which he is accused. For the last few days the prisoner's health remained in the same state, and as there was no appearance of inflammation or other dangerous symptoms, it was the opinion of the medical gentlemen at the hospital that he might be removed with safety. He has expressed the deepest sorrow for what has occurred, and states that it was purely . without the slightest premeditation, and that he was goaded into a tit of ungovernable passion by the ill conduct of the un fortunate deceased. On the arrival of the van at New gate, the prisoner had to be supported by two men, and he looked almost more dead than alive. He was al lowed to rest a few minutes in the hatch, and had a drink supplied to him. He - could liar,lty articulate a word,. and shook violently ; but after some time he be came more,composed, and was enabled to speak, but in a very low tone of voice. lie vt as then given into the charge of Mr. 'Bourne, the DeputysGovernoiof the pri son, and conveyed to .a cell, where he was promptly visited by the medical gentlemen of the establish.nent, Sur geon Read and Dr. Harty, who deemed it prudent to hare him removed to the hospital of the house, where every attention was paid to his state. lie had a ceriversa lion with Mr. Bourne, and mentioned to that gentleman some particulars relative to the ineteneholy affair.. He sated that he was well known in Dublin, and could have a good character_from several most respectable gentle tuttn. He never was before-a 'magistrate in his life, nor was he ever charged with the smallest uffenceof any kind. From general repOrt, he is a person of quiet divosition and regular habits, and • was always very industrious. The deceased, he states, from her unfortunate propensity to drunkenness., and ill language while indulging in the vicious habit, used to annoy hitu greatly ; and . evening of the tragic occarrence she had almost driven him to madness, so much so th a t he was bereft of - reason altogether, and knew. not what he did. A day or two since he stated, in—the presence of our reporter, that he had 691. saved up, and that - his wife, in the course of a few months, contrived to spend this sum, together with having pledged or sold every particle of furnitur e, wear ing apparel, &c., of which he was possessed. THE TENURE COMMISSION.—Lord - Devon and the other Commissioners of Tenure commence their ries in - Londonderry. On Thursday . they proceed to Newtown Limevady and Innishowen, and on Saturday to other parts of Donegal. NATIONAL EDUCATIONS.—The Evening Mail reite rates once more. its " appalling- announcement " of Sir Robert Peel's instructions to Lord de Grey to with hold " the loaves and fishes " from such of the Esta blished clergy as 'Vase to identify themselves with the National System of Ed ucat i on . R e ferring to a recent article in the Siandard; the Mail says—" As Mr. Frederick Shaw continues to haunt the diseased imagi nation of our Contempora r y, we beg to assure him that he was not our inform an t, nor h a d we ever a communi cation directly or indi rect l y with that Right Hon. Ge n . denials upon the subject. The, authority upon which we . made the statement c ou ld not err; an d the inquiries set on foot, and the conje c t ures h azar d e d, as to the how, the where, and the wh om , by which the information was conveyed to us, only t en d•t o prove the receipt and ex istence of the document, f or if th e re was nothing to tell there could not have been anything to reveal; and inves tigation upon the one. hand, and surmising upon the other, would be needless." SAFE RETURN TO MALTA OP THE XANTHIAN EXPEDITION. The Xanthian party, after contending with aim insurmountable difficulties, from the destruction, by a delu4c of rain, at the very moment they were most wanted, of the newly constructed roads and bridges, finally mustered, with the collected treasures, at the mouth of .the river, on the 12th of March, when her Majesty's ship Medea, Commander 'Warder, ran over from Macri to take in her valuabl e c arg o . Comman der Warden, for some Jive weeks previous, had been indefatigably engaged in personally superintending the packing and removal:Of the marbles from the val ley, where they have lain strewn about and undis turbed for centuries, save by the hand of time ;, but it came on - to blow so heavily, that in towing the lighter over the bar, the hawsers parted, and the pinnace and two cutters got swamped and beached. Several of the party got thrown out of the boats by the sea, and Mr. flore, a mate af the Queen, and three men were, with difficulty, rescued from a watery grave. Un able to proceed with the embarkation, or even to com municate with the shore, the Medea had to retrace her way back, leaving some thirty officers and men with the ships' boats, besides the exploring party, on the sands, exposed to the inclemency of the weather without any other shelter than the bushes there abouts (for all but two small tents had been already shipped), until the 15th, when the weather lulled sufficiently to enable the steamer to return, and by the 18th every, one was snugly housed on board, with twenty cases of marbles and casts, leaving on the beach some other seven cases containing the unwieldy portions of the horse and chimera tombs, which must remain until such time as a larger vessel is sent to. hoist them in. It is currently rumoured that the Warspite, 50, has proceeded from Athens for this purpose. Ihe steamer then steered for Macri, to water, and on the 20th she hove to off Rhodes, where the Cap tain and Mr. Fellows landed, to return the Pacha of the place the acknowledgments of the British Go vernment, for the facilities and protection he had afforded the expedition, the Xanthus district forming a portion of the pachalic of Rhodes, where also the lighters were left. On the evening of the 20th the steamer again pro ceeded on her voyage, intending to make the best of her way to Malta ; but on the 21st, in consequence of a gale of wind from the south and westward, she was forced to put into Suds, in the island of Candia, and did not leave until the 24th. Throughout the 25th, and a part of the 26th, she encountered quite as strong a gale from the northward and eastward, when she made fair way at the rate of ten miles an hour ; but on the 27th and 28th the wind headed her, blow ing excessively hard from the westward, and, although she made Malta soon after noon on the latter day, it was not until ten at night that she came to an anchor, owing to the heavy cargo of marble she had on board. _ _ . The vessel has suffered considerably, and will require a thorough overhauling before she proceeds, as it is said it is intended she shall, to England. Mr. Hawkins, who has proceeded to Smyrna overland, in hopes of meeting with, objects of interest for a future campaign, is the only one of the party, besides two who have died, who has not returned. Great praise is clue to Captain Warden and the officers of his vessel, and the expedition under his command, for having so satisfactorily performed this arduous service ; and it will, no doubt, afford the friends of another zealous officer, Commander Graves, of the Beacon, some satisfaction to know that his plans and suggestions for the carrying the same into effect have tended, in a great measure, to the attain ment of this happy result. In another part of the same journal, apropos to the same subject, we find the following passage :—" That many men now in office, from - Sir Robert Peel dowA to Mr. T. B. G. Smith, made use of the religious opposi tion to the Whig scheme,:-of education, as a fulcrum whereuptin to place a levpr to raise themselves into power, is plain enough--as is idso the fact•that they now make of that fulcrum a ped es tal upon which they hop e to stand. That the mass of the Itlish clergy are actuated by any such motives, we must repeat, we do not believe, At all events, we presume the subject will be more or less cleared up at the approaching meeting of the Church Education Society, to the proceedings of which public attention is now strongly directed." A TIGER STORY.—Early on 'Friday . morning in telligence was brought to, town tha4 a tiger had been caught during the previous niett.in a pit on a s , ambier plantation,geiitlen r about e three epai M v i ,c r from Singapore. Iw o o r three to the spot, which is about a quarter of ..v. mile from the public road. The secretary of the Sporting Club was the first in the field, and commenced the proceedings by put ting a couple of balls into the tiger's head, one of which struck him in the foreh 6 adt and glancing along the skull came out at . the let eye. As a number of made k sportsmen Iv n e o lT w e n h x , Ptoecthsdc' the news firstha%'ing been gener ally upon the spot agreed to wait until their brethren in arms came up, and a considerable interval elapsed before any more balls were fired, during which time .some of thos e p resent amuse d themselves y stirring: the brute up with a long pole, a proceeding which greatly enraged him ' as was testi tied by the loud growls he.. utte red, and the fury with , which - he laid hold of the bamboo pith his teeth. lac made several desperate att,empts to reach the top, but without success, partly i ciwitigto the b o tt om o f t h e pi t being 11114 with mud to the'depth of one or two feet, by which be was prevented from taking a good spring. After having amused theinselves in this manner for about an hour, the party then resolved to give him his coup de grace, and it was arranged:that they should-fire in the order in which they arrived on the scene of operations, but the first ball fired went - true to its aim, producing in stant death, and the tiger sa nk beneath the mud without a struggle or dying groan. A considerable discussion thenarterasep, bu alto t w a li t 7t hittltieeiitt would 'be s a f e t o ra i se t h e lid of the w carried in the affirmative. However, 'en rais-ing it Waling Was IA) be distin g uished in consequence of the' thick smoke 1% hich filled the pit, the proceedings of the morni n g. gratified, with and the - party then disper se d , was ,arter. wards .brought to town; when it appeared to be a full-groWn animal, though not of the largest. .size. . The Chinese on uluisc plantation .it was caught a Catholic convert, received $lOO 11-oin the Tiger Club. and $5O from Government, besides selling the flesh for some $lO or $l2, so that-it was a very remunerative oc currence for him. He seemed much pleased at- having caught the tiger, indepedent of the prospect of reward, as he had suffered from the ravages of those animals, having lost two men on his p la ntation , who were de strived by them. --Siiiyapore Free Press, Jan. 4. lOREIGN TRADE WITH CHINA.—Some very curious items are to be found in the list of articles of Chinese expc rts, in the tariff of duties on the , fore i g n trade with - the Celestials. Among them we read-9f. Kittysols, or paper umbrellas (very useful, • doubtlessly,:in ilCaVy ruin !); birds' nests, nests, 'second quality, good fi iii T a t im q r iincleaned;" alsb " Unicorns' horns," " sharks' fins," "crackers and fireworks of 'all sorts," and various other concerns " right strange to , mitts." been examined, and found to be but' slightly injured, hiving received. only a bruise on the forehead. When br 'tight in foe was insensible, and it was. reported in the t eighboutheol that •he was dead. This, happily, has tinted out to be an, unfounded rumour ; and there is every reason to expect that he will be able to resume his wok in a few days. .It was stated at the hospitals when our reporter left, at three o'clock, that only one man•had died, and that he was killed on the spot where the acci dent happened. At the Bricklayers' Arms station, how ever, they state that two were killed, namely, Edward Mai• and John Ryan. The building in which the acci dent occurred was this morning examined, and it seems that the unfortunate ecc:lrrence was caused by the iron rafters of the roof. being of too slight construction for the breadth of the roof, which is very great, so that when the large heavy slates were placed upon it the weight bore down tle roof in the centre. It was not the pillars upon which the roof is supported that gave way, but the roof itself. The whole of the rubbish was cleared away in about four hours, but the workmen have nut yet resumed their labours.. MONE Y AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. Cotton was freely offered at Liverpool yesterday, but there was no alteration to notice in prices, and the sales amounted to 4,500 bales, viz., 300 Pernam, at '64-d.; 90 Egyptian, at 7-1(1.; and the rest American at sd. to 7d. for Orleans.—The Share Market was on the whole well supported.

Is. The report of the Directors of the Royal Mail Steam , packet Company,_ laid before the Court of Proprietors, held this morning, has been the subject of much con versation in mercantile circles in the City, and certainly much satisfaction is expressed that there is now no chance, as was feared by many some tithe• since, of a breaking up of this really splendid undertaking. It cannot tie doubted that the Directors have had a most trying and difficult part to perlcrin ; but so im mense are 'the advantages which result from a rapid 'communication between the distant ports embraced in the route of those pattf{ets,•that even were Government to pay twice the" sum it Dues for the conveyance of the mails, such an amount ought immediately. to be given. It is stated that the fleet - of the Company, as is the fact, is in a state of efficiency, and what is of importance to the pro prietary is, that 50,0001. o! - debt has been paid off since the meeting in October last. With the same prospects in view as those_ recently experienced, it may fairly be anticipated that ere long the Proprietors will receive a dividend for the money they have advanced to bring into operation this line of communication -with the West Indies and 'other places in that direction... • A report has just reached the City, that a dreadful accident has taken place at- the terminus of the Dover and Croydon Railway, near to the Brick , layers' Arms, by which many- lives have been lost. It is at present a subject of .very general conversation and of regret. Full p articulars are given in another column of The Sun. In reply to many inquiries in reference to the pro ceedings of the Committee of Spanish Bondholders, we are requested to state that the attendance, at the meeting convened last Tuesday, of the members was consdered not sutilcent to adopt any definite course of proceeding, and an adjournment for a fortnight tot,lt place. It is intend, dto address a memo rial to the present Finance Minister at Madrid, to make concessions in favour of the at present, neglected holders of Spanish stock. The Commissioners have taken about 40,0001. stock this morning, part in the Reduced Three per Cents., at 991, and the remainder in Consols, at 100 t. Since the early psrt of the day, Consols for the Account have fallen from 1001- to looi, and for Money from 1001 to 1001. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have reached 4- above par—they are now 103 i. Exchequer Bills have risen to 755. premium, India Bonds are at -90 s. to 91s. premium, and Bank Stock at 200. _ In the Foreign Stocks the changes have been slight— the Active Spjtnish Bonds have been steady at 26i to 26f, and the Three per Cents. have been sold at 37i to 37/. Dutch and Belgian Bonds are a fraction lower than yesterday, and so are Mexican. The Portuguese Converted Stock has improved, for Money, to 47. The Railway Share market ha 3 not been very brisk to-day. Prices, generally speaking, have remained nearly the same as yesterday. London and Westminster Bank Shares have been sold at 5 premium, and the London Joint-Stock Bank Shares at 3i premium. San tiago de Cubit Mining Shares are at 1 discount.

ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—TWO LIVES LOST.— Ori Tuesday evening, between nine and ten o'clock, a boat, iu which were four young men and two females, was upset a short distance from the Thames Tunnel, and two of the men, named Roberts, aged 22, and James Green, aged 28, were drowned. The others were saved. The party were returning from Greenwich fair. . . . SCAFFOLD ACCIDENT IN THE HAYMARKET.— Font PERSONS MlL:RED.—Yesterday morning a painful de gree of alarm and excitement was created in the neighbour. hood of the Italian Opera, under the following appalling and distressing circumstances :—Several workmen have for the last few days been engaged in repairing and heatitifving,the colonnade on the north side Of the Italian Opera, and mime diately opposite Messrs. Feuillarde's Hotel: Yesterday Morn ing. however, - the scaffolding upon which the men-were at work suddenly gave way, and they were precipitated with it on to the pavement beneath. The porters and others from the hotel inunediatfly rushed to their assistance, and •in a short time the poor fellows, who were four in number, were extricated, and each of them was found to bemire or less in jured. No time was lost in conveying them to Charing-cress Hospital, where they were duly and•promptly. attended. • Cusrmi-House—On Monday, the Bth instant,"the anrial change of the officers took place ; the landi-rig waiters, searcherS, and pagers, who had been on duty during the past year at the Last and West India' Docks, being Sta tioned for the following year at the London arid - St. Ka therine Docks, and legal quays; and those officers who had ben on duty at the latter places, being stationed at the former. The object of this change is, that by a periodical alteration of station the officers may not become too familiar with persons who would entice them to colluse and defraud the revenue. This annual change is much more extensive and complete since the discovery of. the late frauds in that department. THE BRIGHTON AND DOVER ItAnwAys.--Yester day terminated the cheap excursions to Brighton and Dover. The number of passengers who purchased excursion tickets for Brighton during the three days was 5,720, by the Dover 1,270. During the whole, of yesterday the trains brought up a great number of persons - who had enjoyed the cheap ex cursion. The last train brought up from Brighton 1,000 persons. We have not heard of any accident having oc cuffed on-this railway. 16 The late Sir Henry Haiford told a friend, only a few days before his death, that he had effected more cures by sending patients to inhale the healthy breezes of the DOWRS tt Brighton, than by any other 11 __ Ineans whatever.

SECOND DAY, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10.—The gather ing of. to-d - ay. (the attractions not being of the same character and extent as those of the first day) although less numerous than yesterday, numbered between 15,000 dud 20,000 persons who were assembled on the ground and in the vicinity of the principal leaps. An intimation having' been received• by the stewards that the King of the Belgians intended to 'honour the steeple chases with his presence, every preparation was made to receive his Majesty... A portion of the Grand Stand was railed off and covered with green baize for the use of the King and his suite, and the royal standard was displayed'from its summit. The whole of the road from Peaseed -street to the cavalry harricks was' watered to lay the dust, in order that his Majesty might experience no annoyance in that respect in his progress to the course. Shortly after three o'clock the King arrived on the ground, in one of the royal carriages and four, with outriders, at tended by Count Mercy D'Argenteau and the Holt. C. A. Murray. Major D'Hanins Moerkerke was in attendance upon his .Majesty on horseback. The King and his attendants proceeded to the field, which is crossed by the formidable ditch of 17 feet in width; and stationed himself in the royal carriage, to view the sport at that attractive spot. The King, previously to the first race coming off, alighted and mingled with the people, return ing the salutations which greeted him at every turn in the most kind and affable manner. Saddle horses having arrived on the ground from the Royal-mews, his Majesty and attendants returned to the Castle on horse back, at the conclusion of the first race, which came off as follows: — A Hack Steeple Chase of one soy. each, with five added. Horses ca rry llst each. Mr. Tenant's bgCh to eeroot (Mr. Mason) 1 Mr. P. Langton's gr g Monarch., (Land)" 2 Mr. Sullivan's br g Skyland (Templeton) 3 Mr. Canball's w h Magnesia (Flemtng) 0 Mr. Day's ch g The Kicker (Owner) 0 Mr. Henderson's eh m Maggie Lauder (Hopgood) 0 Mr. H. Oldacre's ch g Terror (Owner) Mr. Liley's br h Conductor (Harrison) 0 Mr. Ward's Miss Fidget 0 Mr. Williamson's br g . Paddy dr The lot went off well together, Maggie Lauder and the Kicker taking the lead. All crossed the wide brook in' good style, with the exception of Maggie and two ethers, who were pulled up about 50 yards oft; and then gave in. Cheroot had the lead: and kept it, after cross ing the firet ditch 'in the Lemma ! and came in a winner by 200 yards. A capital struggle then ensued between Monarch and Skylark for the second place. which was won by the former by about ten lengths. The winner (which, we hear, was purchased a few days since for 175 sovereigns, and really too good a horse for a hack steeple chase), was claimed by Mr. Langton, the owner of the second horse. - A Match 50 sous. between Mr. H. Langley's (2d Life Guards) b g Cardinal, and Captain Thompson's (13th "Light Dragoons) ch ni Mermaid ; Cardinal ' giving the mare 1 stone. • - Cardinal, 13st Slb (ridden by Mr. Langley) l. Mermaid, 12st 31b, (ridden by Sir Charles Kent) 2 This was, perhaps, 'one of the most beautiful steeple. chases ever witnessed ; every ditch and fence was cleared in admirable style; without either " spill or trip.' Mermaid took the lead, and kept it over the first ditch in the. Laminas, and nearly up to the paling of the Great • .Park. At this point Sir Charles' Kent went on the wrong side of the flag, and lost his position. by having to retrace some forty or fifty yards. Mermaid then con tinued to gain on Cardinal,. and on arriving at the wide brook, both wcre nearly neck-and-neck, and crossed it beautifully, almost at the same moment, Mermaid having . , the • lead . by ' a couple of lengths. • Mermaid cleared the last ditch in the Lammas . two lengths in advance of Cardinal, who then put out his speed, passed Mermaid, when about 500 yards from the winning-post, main tained his position, and won by not more than eight or nine lengths. . For the .heavy-weight Military •Steeple• Chase of 10 sovs. each, with 30 added, there were but two entries, viz., Lord Glamis's br g Tea Fighter and Mr. Langley'S b g Cardinal. Tea Fighter withdrawn, and • Car dinal walked over, ridden by its owner, who fell Cross= ing the ditch on the Lammas, but soon scrambled out on the oppo,ite side. Two sporting gents who uccom- . panied Cardinal were also . ducked at the same spot. This closed the second day's sport, which was of a first rate.character throughout, the whole passing off without. the slightest accident ,to Mar the- pleasures of the day. FOOT HURDLE RACE I . E'TWEEN JENKINSON AND SMITH. - . The two greatest runners Of the day yesterday con tended .in a race of 300 yards,.with 15 hurdleq. Th e - contest was for 40/., the ground selected being the Bee- hive, at Walworth. They effected a good start, and went off at a rattling pace, side by side, over the first three or four hurdles ; the Stag "then jumped a head, closely waited upon by his opponent, who in turn took up the running ; it was a great race, in which neither party could get away, and on coming to the last hurdle the men took it together, or, if 'there was a. shadow of difference, the Stag having it, and both touched the ground, alter the leap, at the same instant. Both de clared they had won, but the referee, whose great ex perience in these matters well qualified him for the post, declared that, owing to the pressure around him, and the closeness of the struggle, it was impoSsible for him to determine who had touched the ground first, and that it must necessarily be considered a dead heat. In this opinion he was , contirmed by the best judges and most unprejudiced persons on the ground. The stakes mill be accordingly drawn. HAMPTON SPRING RACES.—WC understand the time for starting on Friday at these races has been ahead from two to one o'clock. her Majeity 'the Queen Dowager, with the members of her household, is passing the holidays at Busby Palk, in the eajoytifent of excellant'healtli.• • - • UNCLAIMED DIVIDENDS. It is most deiieable that advantage should be taken of the notoriety , of all file eircoinstances attending the late will forgeries, to review the system pursued at the Bank as regards the administration of wily, the mode of deal ing with polders of attornl, and, above all, in making known the particulars of unclaimed dividends, so as to determine whether the public are as fully protected as they ought to be in ttm se matters.. It is a very coin mon persuasion at pregent, that measures are about to he taken by the Wink to render more difficult of acces all information relative to - unclaimed -.dividends, and the amount of stuck standing in the names of per song who have fOrgot:en or ceased to apply for them : but some correspondents-are-of opinion that the emit-au is the course - which ought to be pursued, and that frauds woul-1 become far more 'difficult if such publicity Were given to both as could not fail to bring the true parties forward. Of the "- unclaimed dividends" it is supposed that the greater portion belongs to persons who have sold out their stOck, but have overlooked some remnants of dividends, conceiving them to go with the stuck and to belong to the purchases. Yet such smart stuns Would probably 'afford timely relief to thousands, %bile - the total addition to the Government fund from that source is a sum not worth consideration. Others, through relations dying intestate, never acquire any knowledge' of funded property which belongs to them, and suffer distress and poverty froM the want of it. Yet the Bank, which alone can give the information; in ad herence to a system of over-caution, unifOrmly refuses it. A case, cited by a correspondent, will illustrate the point more Clearly:— " Some years since 'an Irish pig -dealer, having di4- posed of his cargo in England, invested the proceeds and his previous savings, amounting to a large sum, in Go vernment stock, in the Bank, after which, on his way home to Inland, he was drowned. His son and daugh ter, who were extremely ignorant and indigent, made their way to London, to inquire into his affairs. From the strangeness of their appearan ce a nd th e s t or y o f th e i r father's supposed property, they *were brought to an in terview with the chief clerk at the Bank ; but, beins , without any knowledge either of the amount or of the stock in which it was invested, he was on the point of dismissing them, when a stockbroker entered the room on business, and, being informed of the nature of their inquiry, was enabled to put them int 6 the possession of the property, as he happened, by a most singular coin cidence, to be the broker by' whom the stock had been purchased." Such fortune as this Cannot often happen, and but fur this. circumstance tie whole - amount would, without doubt, have been tranSferred to the Commissioners for the National Debt. Many, cases re.iembling it may easily be imagined, a n d i n a ll th ese p u bli c i t y g i ven , after a certain lapse of tithe, which should not he a very long one, could hardly fail to bring the rightful owners for aid; while it would act as preventative against fraud, for precautions may always be taken so to identify the real owner as to render it impossible for others to obtain it. Something of the-kind would be done by a private banker, who, if he possessed any clue to the owners of ut claimed balances or to their representatives, would not flat to give them information of them. A remarkable illustration of Bank of England practice occurs in the well-known case of Emilla Slack. Many of the c!erks who keep the books there .must have been cognisant of the fact that she received only one portion of that which was due to her, for every stockholder has a re gularly. posted account ; .and yet the portion unclaimed by this person was suffered to accumulate in dividends, and, at last; -following the rule prescribed, capital stock and arrears of interest together were handed over to the National Debt Commissioners. In a private merchant or banker this would be something like dishonesty, and in the administration of bankrupt estates it is well known that attempts are constantly made to find out and bring forward those parties. who do not in due course- apply for their dividends. • Suppose the clerk who kept the book at the Bank containing the account of Emma Slack had reported to his superiors the cir• eumstance, which he must have known, that she held two descriptions of stock, on one of which only she re ceived - the interest, there could have been no harm in conveying to her an intimation of it. Such a course wouldat'once have protected her, and prevented the fraud which has been committed. The book of "unclaimed dividends," about which so muchis said from time to time, is as inadequate to the purpose as can well be imagined. It is high of price, difficult of access, and incomplete in its information. A suggestion has been made that the Bank should publish in the London Gazette an account, periodically, of all stock and dividends unclaimed; but, in addition to that, there could be no harm in so much of private mercantile practice finding its way into the greatest banking esta blishment in Europe as would lead to some regular in quiry,. by their own clerks and agents, after individuals or their representatives who have stocks standing in their names. It will be alleged, perhaps, that the im mense number of accounts kept will render this next to impossible; but a new department might be created, to be supported by a small per center, which would be readily paid, on the property so restored to its rightful owners. Many families would by these means be an nually saved from ruin. But the whole system calls for revision, and this is the proper time, now that the impression is strong upon the public mind, for making the attempt. — Times. BRITISH SETTLEMENT ON BORNEO. Were it - for no other reSson than that it would prove an effectual check to the commission of piracy, the establishment of a settlement on Borneo would be an act of the greatest wisdom on the part of the British Government. A steamer might be kept moving backwards mid forwards between Singapore and the Borneo settlement, which would affOrd security to the numerous native traders who, at cer tain seasons, cover the China and Java seas on their way to or from Singapore. Besides the above, there arc many other reasons, which render it exceedingly Aesirable that we should have a settlement on Borneo. One of these reasons is, the opportunity that would be afforded for suppressing the slave trade, which, with all its attendant evils, flourishes so • rankly in Borneo, and a very powerful one it ought to be with a Government which has put itself so pro • Minently forward as the assertor of the freedom of the human race, which has lavished so much treasure in putting an end to slavery in its own dominions, and which is every now and then on the point of em broiling itself with other Powers, because they will not lend themselves so heartily as every Government calling itself Christian ought, to put down the traffic in slaves by strong means. A, large and most inte resting field for missionary labour would be opened up, by the 'establishment of an English settle ment ; and this should not be without its weight, although hitherto with Protestant Powers this has has never been an avowed object, either for colonisation or conquest. A settlement on Borneo would, besides, be important as a resting-place for vessels on , their way to from China, and as coal is to be had - there, that circumstance in itself' ought to be of the utmost weight. But it is also well ascertained that the soil and productions of this -Coun try are of so rich and varied a nature that, in a com mercial view alone, its occupation would be of the highest importance; the inhabitants of Borneo would consume an immense quantity of British goods were they to be brought within their reach and offered to them at reasonable prices. The cheapness of English manufactured goods, compared with the rate at which, natives can produce similar articles; invariably leads to the preference of the former. In Province Wellesley where the natives have ascertained that they can pur ehasethree sarongs of Engli s h manufactur e f o r the cost at which they themselves could produce one, nothing is to be found but the former, and there is no - doubt that the same result would take place in Borneo. By found ing a settlement in Borneo, it thus appears .that the cause of.humanity.and justice would be served in the highest degree, a people capable ,of better things would be rescued from the most debasing and bruti fying superstitions and propensities, and raised in the scale of humanity and civilisation, and, what may be of as much importance in these utilitarian times, the commerce of England would be extended to a very great amount. Whether the British Government take the matter in hand, or not, we hope Mr. Brooke will be enabled to persevere, and that success will ultimately crown his noble and philanthropic endea vours, and should he be enabled to achieve this single handed and alone, the greater will be the glory he will merit.- 7 -Singapore Free Press. -THE STONE PIER AT GREENwicH.—On Tuesday considerable alarm was excited on the stone pier in con sequence of a further portion of the structure having given way.

DISCOVER T • OF HUMAN BONES NEAR THE QUAH RANT. —Yesterday aft erno on much interest -was excited in the neighbourhood of the Quadrant, Regent-street, by the discovery of a number of human and other - bone:, in an excavation now in progress for the building or a. new sewer. The ;t•pot in question is situated at - the junction of Tiehborne-street with Sherrard-street, lead ing to Golden-square, directly at the rear of the County Fire-office, where a large number of labourers havefjr the two last days been employed in digging for the in tended sewer. When about eight or ten feet deep-from the surface a quantity of bones were dug up, consisting of thigh, arm, and rib bones t)f human beings, inter mixed with other bones of animals, including the side bones of heads, &c. •The spot in question is decidedly a Cross road, by which fact the human bones may be ac-. counted to be those of some fel' de se, interred previous to-the judicious alteration in the law ; but bow the car -ease ofan-animal came to be interred.also.remaitis to be explained.

Scratchley, and an attentive listener to the whole of the evidence adduced in the case of suicide in Fleet-street, last week, I feel it right to express my unqualified dissent from your very harsh attack upon that gentleman. Your reasons for this censure may be thus briefly summed up : First,—That Mr. Scratchley tried to draw from deceased a confession of a misdeed of which no proof was adduced in the evidence. Secondly,—That his language towards deceased (as overheard through a. partition-wall) immediately before she destroyed herself, was of a "brutal and callous" character. Thirdly,—That the whole story, as given by Mr. Scratchley himself, confirms his heartlessness and cruelty ; and, Fourthly,—That he admitted, " coolly and deli berately,' having . had connexion with deceased pre vious to his entering the Church. To your first reason I answer, that the words of Mr. S. ("If you confess that you have robbed my brother, I will see what I can do for you") were no _ _ _ more than any person would have used, if convinced of the guilt of the party addressed ; that the charge was substantiated by the, production of fifteen pawn broker's tickets found on deceased,' all of which were obtained on Dr. Scratchlei's property ; and that there was no intention to prosecute deceased, since a sove reign was given her the day before for the purpose of redeeming some of the property.—(See the Coroner's notes.) I may add, that no person in his right senses would prosecute, or allow his brother to prosecute, a person who held his reputation in her hands. Your second motive of censure bangs upon a con versation heard through a wall, the witness acknow ledging that, the person accused spoke so low that she could not distinctly bear his words. Need I add noire on this bead ? I will, however, testify that ten years knowledge of Mr. S. would have made me look narrowly to the evidence of any witness who swore to having beard harsh language from him, even without the intervention of a wall. • To the third point I reply that the story was not given by Mr. Scratchley, but by Rebecca Griffiin, sister to the deceased, a respectable person, mistress of the diocesan school at Canterbury, whO, when exa mined, and cross-examined, stated that Mr. Scratch ley's conduct towards her sister had been one of uni form kindness and goiterosity beyond his means ; she moreover, testified to that gentleman's going down to Canterbury a week previous to her sister's death, and, after mentioning the unfortunate habits she had fallen into, conferring with her (witness) on the best method of reclaiming her sister, offering at the same time to provide for her ilaintenance in any respect able house they should fix upon, for her residence. Does this look like heartlessness and cruelty ? As to the fourth accusation, that Mr. S. " coolly and deliberately" admitted having had connexion with deceased 'previous to his entering the Church, I contend that such confession was absolutely necessary. that it was incumbent on him to lay the truth, the whole truth, before the public, and thus clear (!) his moral character as a clergyman, even though by so doing he left a stain on his younger days. It is not my purpose to attack the verdict found by the jury, as I understand that Mr. Scratchley is about. to publish the whole of the evidence, and then trust to the opinion of the world for removing the odium cast on him by such public censure. Allow me, however, .to mention one fact (omitted in the papers), that after the reading of the verdict one of the jury rose, and protested against " the censure passed on the conduct of Mr. C. Scratchlev ;" and I know from subsequent inquiry that he did not stand alone in his dissent. Trusting to your reelings ,of justice ror the insertion of these remarks, I am, Sir, your obedient servant, London, April 9, 1844. E. SPENCER. [We publish Mr. Spencer's letter in our usual de sire to act, to the best of our judgment, with strict impartiality in all cases where the moral conduct of an individual has been inculpated. Of the letter, as any justification or defence of that conduct in Mr. Scratchley's case, we can only say " valeat quantum." BUt Mr. Spencer , must, excuse us if we rely much more upon the solemn opinion of the Coroner and the jury, on evidence so recently heard by them, than on the casuistry of a professed - friend of the party re buked by their finding and the Coroner's commen tary. In these we see but too grave a corroboration of those remarks,--ztermed by Mr. Spencer " an at tack," which we felt it to be matter of public duty to offer on the report of the inquest.—En. Sun.] . FATAL ACCIDENT ON TUE DOVER RAILWAY.— On MOnday afternoon a fatal accident - . occurred on the ribove line to a poor • fellow named Nunn, an under guard. The man, it appears, was proceeding with his train from Dover to London, and while passing under one of the arches at the Maidstone station, he got up, and his head came in contact with the bricknork, kill ing him instantly. When the train arrived at Tunbridge, his mate discovered biriflying on the carriage where he had previously sat, his head being literally dashed to pieces. Ile was married, and was a sober and steady man.—Briyhton Guardian. SINGULAR ESCAPE or A ClllLD. — Wilile the up mid day train was „passing along the North Midland Railway', near the Rotherham station, on Saturday la't, a little boy suddenly darted from his father's arms eves the side of une of the second-class carriages. The train was going at full speed at the time, and it was with difficulty the father could be restrained from leaping out of the carriage, s great was his anxiety to know the fate of his child. The circumstance having been communicated to the guard, he ordered the train to be put back for 'nearly two miles for that purpose, when, straahie to say, the pour little fellow was pereeived on the embankment, unhurt. On seeing his parent., he laughed and exclaimed , "Father, father, i am not hurt.' on h It turned out that he bad fallenverge of the line- BA RI fortunately - rolled down the embankment, which thus broke.the shock that he must have, perhaps, fatally experienced had he come in sudden contact with the level ground.—Leicestir Chronicle.- There stood in Fiyup' , near Whitby, the king of oaks, the pride of that and the surrounding dales, mea suring in eirmuferenee 14 yards at the bottom of the trtirik - The 6 4 .6-6 f tibiatlorist known, but it is supposed tation of spring fur about one thousandP° c }'ears -ege:F orty years ago it gay blobm to its last, 2-..-S COURT CIRCULAR.

M. de Humuaelauer had an interview, ylterday, with Mr. Gledstoue, At the Board: of Trade: THE PARISIAN E'EN The Parisian Venus, nOw on exhibition at the Cosmoratna-rooms, Regent-street, is .an exquiAely dissected wax model of the human body.-- It is the size of life, and as a work of art is per:ectly unique. On first entering the room the attention is at,trac ed to what appears to be a beautiful etatue, lying in a recumbent posture. The proprietor of the exhiiition, who is in attendance, then removes the integument, and the superficial muscles, vessels, and nerves ere brought into view—layer,after layer is removed until the minute organisation of the limiest recesseS of ti - e human frame is demonstrated. The viscera end brain are removed . from the body and subjected to the same process,: so that by the inspection of this model a more perfect general idea of the structure of the human frame may be acquired in a few minutes than could be acquired by the study of books end plates during a aeries of years. As a work of art it is unique, while its accuracy in a sekntitie point of view is beyond all praise. As a proof of the (*si tuation in which it is held, we niay mention the fact that the Lords of the Treasury have been pleased to sanction its importation free of duty as an, in:Artunent of education. M. MANSION'S WAX PAINTINGS. The art of wax painting was well known to the ancients, and, as a proof of its superiority over every other species of paintings in point of durability, 'lse .may mention the fact, - that .while the frescos of Ra phael and Leonardo da Vinci are falling into decay,' the wax paintingg on the walls of Herculaneum are still to be seen in all their primitive freshness. The art of wax painting was lost for centuries, but itaivas re-discovered some.tive or six years back by a French artist. The frescos in the - gallery of Henry 11., at- Fontainbleau, have been restored in wax, and several pictures, on a large scale, have recently been placed in the church of La Madeleine. The subject has re cently attracted much attention among artists, and one of the successful competitors of the Cartoon ex hibition of last year is at present in Paris, engaged in the execution of a large wax picture, the sue ject vt which is the Fates spinning the thread of destiny, which will probably be exhibited 'durin , r the month. of June among the fresco paintings in Westminster Hall. We yesterday were delighted by a view of three specimens of wax paintings, by , M. Mansion, which are at present exhibiting at Mr. Barber's, 60, Regent Quadrant, being, we believe, the first paint• ings of the sort ever exhibited in England. They are exceedingly beautiful, poSsesSing all the finish and brilliancy of the most. exquisite water-colour drawing, with all the depth of tone of the finest oil painting. M. Mansion, who was. in attendance, ex plained the process, from which it appears that colours which in oil paintings take months to dry become dry in wax paintings in the course of . a few hours ; while, instead of having to wait for months and perhaps years, for the completion of a picture, which is the case in fresco painting, the artist can finish his•picture at once if he works in wax instead of oil. At a time when the decoration of the new Houses of Parliament occupies to so large an extent - the public attention the claims of the wax painting are well worthy attentive consideration .; and we trust the Commissioners will come to , no final deci sion on the subject of those decorations uLtil thee have attentively and carefully investigated the claims of this new branch of art. In, the incantinme we would urge all artists and all lovers of art to visit this exhibition and judge fir themselves. THE PENDING POST•OFFICE CHANGES. For sotne time past arrangements hare been in the course of preparation for the purpose of •inereasing the number of deliveries in the London District Deprtinent . o f the general Po,t, which, by summand of, the Noble - EArl :it the head of the establishment, has been S , l* so that the " Two-penny Post-office" is now no loty"tr officially known. The merchants, and others of the metrepolis having extensive correspondence, have long eomplaii ed of the delay which, under. the old system, nt cessarily took pace in the delivery of letters which arrived at the Gene' a! Post office, after the morning dispatch of letters by the General l'ost letter-carriers. To remedy this evil it was suggeted that more frequent, indeed, hourly de liveries should take place after the arrival of the mid day mails, so that these mails, and any other arrivals, either front India, liamburgh,. Holland, or elst where, might he forwarded •to the persons for whotn thee wet., directed without delay. The-officers of the district de- • partment, whose duty would be principally aff.cted by the proposed change, were consequently called upon t.l - report upon the practicability of the measure, when it was urged that such a proposition, if adopted, would in volve an outlay to a considerable amount, 111 addition to the present cost of the establishment as, in order to effect the change, upwards of 150 extra officers must he o ppointed, and other sorting-houses taken and fitted up for the purpose of facilitating the delivery. The prov sition, however, was acceded to, anil the following are the benefits which the public , Will realise from the opera tion of the new arrangements.:L-• Ten deliveries of London lOcal letters per- diem., at the following hours :-8 and 10ii.M. ;,12 at noun ; 2,3, 4, 5,6, 7, and 8 p.m. All letter's will be dispatched from the General Post-office as soon as possible after they arrive through the channel thus provided. - To effect this, upwards of 100 letter-carriers have al ready received appointments ; abio two infpcetors of letter 7 carriers ; and several sub-sorters and stompers sufficient to meet the anticipated extra ditty. Addi tional letter-carriers are being brought in daily. The total will be about 150. _ . —.... So great a change as the above has not taken place in this department of the public . service for many years. At the corner of Old-street-road a sorting-office has been fitted up, and another one is being prepared as rapidly as possible in Sidmotith-street, Grays Inn•road; the former for the purpose of eNpediting the preparation of letters for delivery in Shoreditch, Dals'on, And Kinp land ; the latter for the districts in the vicinity- of Regent., Brunswick, and TaVistock-squares. A day mail to Wooilf.;rd and bank .from the General Post-office is also .established.. This is well appointed, as it will not onls' convey correspondence baclew aret and forward, but also affiird an additional conveyance fur passengers, having the adiantage of punctuality. The necessity for the above) arrangements become daily more apparent.
