BANKERS—.Messrs. Cunlitres and Brooks, London and Manchester. • Soticrrons--Messrs. Brackenbery and Lewis, Manchester. This Line, Of 54 nines in length, is intended to connect the great productive agricultural district of Lincolnshire, and the towns of Lincoln, Gainsborough and Doncaster, with Wakefield, the principal corn and cattle market for the manufacturing population of Yorkshire and Lancashire, and with the series of large and important towns bordering upon the line of the Manchester and Leeds Railway through out its entire course. The country into which this line will extend having never possessed the advantages ofrailway communication with the chief market for -its produce, which has been thus compelled to make use of a circuitous and tartly conveyance, this undertaking will at once remove many of those difficulties with which the home-grown corn of that neighbourhood has hitherto contended in maintaining its ground, even in its own market, against the importation of foreign grain ; at the same thno that it offers in return the means of rapid and cheap carriage of coal, coke, stone, salt, and lime, more especially of the two latter articles, to a very large extent, for agricultural pur poses, at a reduction of probably not less than 50 per cent. of their present price. llr Wuls means a return cargo would be assured for all vessels employed in the conveyance, of agricultural produce to Gains borough and Lincoln. ' As regards passenger traffic, a. considerable intercourse already exists between the several towns on the proposed line, as well as with Wakefield and the manufacturing districts, and there can-be no doubt that a similar Increase to that which has always resulted from an improved and rapid communication, may be justly antici pated. ; These views being confined exclusively to the traffic peculiarly be'- longing to the ,locality of this line, it is unnecessary to enter into spe culative considerations as to the probability of any - extension of the Railway system in that important portion of the kingdom. After a survey of the country through which the line passes, the engineer has reported to the Committee that the works will be of easy construction and inexpensive, and the gradients of a very favourable character ; the latter is especially a matter of paramount importance to-the economical working of the very large goods traffic that will naturally flow upon this line. This object will be still further secured by an arrangement with the Manchester and Leeds Company for working this line in conjunction with their own, which will be a suf ficient guarantee that this important item of railway expenditure will be reduced to a very moderate amount. I more legitimate project cannot be contemplated than this, which so intimately connects the productive industry of the farmer with the constant anti growirig &Mend of a rapidly increasing manufacturing population. The depprit to be paid on the allotment of the Shares, and on the production of the banker's receipt for the same, scrip will be delivered. Applications for Shares may he made in the' annexed form ad dressed to the Secretary of the Provisional Committee, No. 9, New Palace-yard, Westminster : To THE PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE LINCOLN AND WAKE- FIELD RAILWAY COMPANY, I request you will allot me Y shares in the proposed Lincoln and Wakefield Railway, and I agree to take such shares as may be alloted to me, and pay the deposit of the same, and execute the Parliamentary contracts and the subscribers' agreements, when .... • required to do so.

On Thursday a Court was held for the dispatch of business. Sir PETER LAURIE rose to call the attention of the Court to the very awkward manner in which the names of those brokers who retired from business were spoken of in the advertisements in the newspapers. These gen tlemen, many of whom were possessed of great wealth, were described in the public notices of retirement from business as " discharged," so that many readers might be led to suppose that they had actually run away.— (A laugh and cries of " Hear.") He had heard many corn- 1 plain of the disagreeable suspicion to which the mode of expression was calculated to give rise; and he wished to know from the Town Clerk, by what authority such ad vertlsetnents were inserted, and why they were per severed in?—(Hear, hear.) Mr. R. L. JONES said he happened to know a gentle man who bad been a broker, and who now resided in the Isle of Wight, with a fortune of 150,000 L, with the same ungracious word " discharged" before his name. The Town Clerk, having spoken to the Lord Mayor, said the question was one which necessarily belonged to the Court of Aldermen, but as his Lordship had directed that an answer should be at once given, under the existingcircumstances, he had only to say that the word " discharged" was an official and technical word, used i in strict conformity to the order of the Court of Alder men, and was by no means intended to convey any im putation whatever. Sir P. LAURIE said his object was to get the ugly sus picion removed altogether by the press. OBSTRUCTION TO THE NAVIGATION UNDER LONDON BRIDGE. Mr. COPE represented that a very serious obstruction to the navigation under one of the arches of London bridgeaurdwolosd, and he was anxious to know, for the sake of the public, who were by such nuisance subjected to danger, as well as to inconvenience, whether the Navigation Committee had taken any mea sures for the removal of it? Mr. Them (the Chairman of the Navigation Com mittee) said, the attention of the Committee had been attracted to the obstruction, which had not been Coun tenanced by any of 'go. - authorities of the City. Ap plication had been made to the Committee by the body who subsequently caused it to be made, but a refusal was the consequence, as the inconvenience was at once. foreseen. The body he alluded to persevered notwith-, standing the objection. He could, however, assure the Court, that the impediment would not be of long con tinuance. The LORD MAYOR stated that the Navigation Com mittee had taken the matter into their most serious con-, sideration, and had sent to him a copy of resolutions to which they had agreed, to the effect that three of the piers, close to the bridge, had been carried out much further than was justified by the directions issued. 'He only waited for the Report of the Water-bailiff to pro ceed at once to remedy the evil.—(Hear, hear.) His LORDSHIP presented a letter from Mr. Pindar, the grandson of Mr. Daniel Pindar, a former member of the Court, requesting that he .might be allowed to take a copy of the portrait of his grandfather, which had been' presented to the Court by the family. The COURT unanimously consented, upon the motion of Sheriff Moon, to permit Mr. Pindar to take the copy of the portrait in Guildhall. Upon the motion of Mr. HICKS the report of the Navigation Committee, recommending that Mr. Page be allowed, upon the part of the Government, to havelaccess to ancient plans of the River Thames, was unanimously agreed to. REGULATIONS FOR STEAMERS NEAR THE DOCKY4RDS OF HER MAJESTY. Mr. HICKS brought up a Report from the Land Com mittee: It stated that, by the direction of the Lord. Mayor, there had been laid before them several commu-; nications from the Lords of the Admiralty, wherein. serious complaint was made that merchant steamers werei in the habit of navigating the river at Woolwich inside of the Goveriiment moorings (between them and the' Dockyard), whereby great risk of danger arose from the ignited particles from the funnels descending on the wharfs, within the limits of the present Dockyard, where, large quantities of combustible and inflammable materials wore frequently deposited; that notice had been issued to such steamers to desist from repeating such conduct without avail; and the Committee therefore recomn mended the adoption of a by-law inflicting a penalty of 101., upon every steam vessel which should approach within 350 feet of her Majesty's Dockyard or arsenal. The Report was agreed to unanimously, and the by law was passed. THE CHARITY CALLED THE CITY KITCHEN. Mr. BOWER brought up the Report of the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee, to which it was referred to take into consideration the petition from the Associa tion for the Relief of the Poor of the City of London and the parts adjacent, for pecuniary assistance in aid of the funds. It stated, amongst many other facts, that during the season ending 27th of March, 1843, the Association delivered to poor applicants 30,290 bushels of coals, and 424,0601b5. of potatoes; and during the present season, to the 15th of-February, 12,237 bushels of coals, and 171,3181b5. of pofitees; and, in consequence of liberal donations of the Coiiit, and of several benevolent parties, the price charged to the poor for 841bs. of the best coals and 141bs. of the best potatoes, was reduced last year from ninepence to the low charge of sixpence, and the coals and potatoes were delivered to the poor recipients who lived within the City free of all expense, at their own habitations, which arrangement had proved very beneficial, but caused great additional expense to the Institution. That the receipts of the Association last year amounted to 2,5571. 10s. 7d., and the expenditure to 2,4011. 16s. Bd., and that there were at the bankers, when the petition was presented, 1,0101., comprising nearly all the subscriptions of the current year, of which 4551. had been since paid for coals and potatoes, and much larger purchases of these articles must be made to provide for the tickets issued for the poor, and for more coming in. That the Association hoped to issue the same number of tickets as last year, which would require a further outlay of 7001. for coals, and 390/. for potatoes. That the free delivery already cost 2181., and would in volve a further outlay,pf 230/., besides the expense of printing and other expenses, in return for which several sums, amounting together to 1,100/„ the Association ex pected by the sale of tickets to realise only about 4501. The Report concluded with recommending the grant of the sum of 200/. A discussion took place which, on account of the con versational noise in the Court, it was impossible to hear distinctly. Mr. ANDERTON objected to the management of the charity, by which the poor were deprived of a great deal of the advantages intended and expected by the benevo lent contributors. He condemned the machinery by which, he said, the poor were obliged to pay out of the allowance a much larger per tentage than was received by tradesmen for their goods ; and he advised a re modelling of the plan, for the purpose of extending the charity, instead of permitting it to be swallowed up by an injudicious expenditure. Mr. Lorr said that no public charity could, it was well known, be carried on without expense, and the City kitchen was certainly regulated by a most active and discriminating zeal for the benefit of the poor objects. One of the leading features of the new arrangements was the free delivery of the articles to the poor, and the recipients were most grateful for a change which pro tected them from the plunder to which they had been subjected from persons who deprived them of their money and their tickets. Mr. R. TAYLOR said the question, was, whether good was done by the charity tantr i pount to the expense in curred. Now he was given to understand that by the delay the poor experienced in waiting for nine penny worth of coals they were losers of sixpence. Mr. Lorr declared that such a statement was part of a system of calumny to which the charity had been ex posed for some time. Mr. PEWTRESS thought that much good might be in troduced by a more ingenious system of management, calculated to reduce the expenditure. The cost might, he was of opinion, be reduced five per cent. Deputy CORNET said the present cost was less than five per cent. lie strongly commended the whole plan upon which the charity was conducted, and argued that any change would be a change for the worse. The Report was then agreed to. It was, after some discussion, referred to a Committee to consider and report whether any, and what addition should be made to the salary of Edward Bullock, Esq., in respect of his services in the Central Criminal Court. After the transaction of some business of no public interest, the Court adjourned. MR. O'CORNELL.—EFFECTS OF THE TRIAL.—The following address (says the Brighton Guardian) has been handed round for signature in Chichester, a cathedral city, be it remembered, in a part of England celebrated for its at tachment to Protestantism. It tends to show how much the prosecution of Mr. O'Connell has exalted him in the estima tion of the people of England :—" To Daniel O'Connell, Esq. : Sir—Permit us, undersigned inhabitants of the city of Chi chester, to express our admiration at the manly way in which you have asserted the rights of your native country, and at the rare union of patriotic zeal and Christian moderation dis played by you in the influence you have exercised over the large masses of your fellow-subjects who have confided their interests to your care. Without intending in the most distant way to hint how far we may agree with or differ from you in your political or religious opinions, we feel ourselves deeply interested in the verdict just obtained against you, as we can not but think that if the interpretation put by your accusers en what you have justly styled the cabalistic' word conspi racy should be confirmed, the liberties of Englishmen will be as much endangered as they would have been had the doc trine of constructive treason, attempted to be established in the year 1794 against Messrs. Hardy, Tooke, and others, by the then Attorney-General, Sir John Scott, not been repu diated by an English jury : and we cannot but regret that an Irish jury, having l i had such a bright example of real patriotism and exilyd philanthropy before them, had not possessed discernmtpl sufficient to follow it. Under what ever further difficu l ties in which your noble conduct may in volve you, you will have, we are fully aware, the best support in the testimony of conscience ; but in addition, we wish to assure you of our cordial sympathy and esteem." Other towns in England will probably imitate this example. FREE TRADE DINNER AT SALISBURY. THURSDAY, FEB. 29.—The leading gentlemen of the ancient Company of Tailors, in this City, having kindly 'Rowed the friends of free trade their spacious hall for tins occasion, a most elegant dinner was served up by a veteran in the cause, named Sworn, of the Coach and Horses Inn, who most nobly and manfully resisted intimidation at the two last elections in this City, and, consequently, this worthy host had, for a length of time, been solicited, by a large circle of friends, to provide a dinner for them to mark the kind feeling they entertained towards him for his exemplary con duct. Covers were laid for about seventy gentlemen, being the full number the hall would contain ; but as soon as the cloth was removed, it was agreed on that every recess of this most curious and antique building should be filled. And here it may be said that the first charter ever granted to this (the Tailors') Company, was in the year 1272, in the reign of Edward the First. The hall is most curi ously decorated with furniture of the oddest de scription, and over the fire-place, which is on the ground, and of an unusual width, is suspended the Com pany's coat of arms, while on the right entrance stands Sir Christopher, the giant of huge dimensions, which is usually carried round the town on occasions of public rejoicings, followed by a " Hab nob" or "Hob nob," serjeants at mace, beadles, &c., in their old-accustomed liveries, with their other paraphernalia, &c. We mention these particulars, because it is referred to in the following speech of John Lambert, Esq. The chair was taken by William Fawcett, Esq., a tenant farmer of Earl Radnor, who was supported, on his left, by Henry Cooper, N. V. Squarey, and C. Squarey, Esquires, and on his right hand, by Mr. Lambert, the chairman of the Salisbury branch of the National Anti-Corn-law League, &c. The cloth being removed, the CHAIRMAN rase teysEpose the health of her Most Gracious Majesty Queen ViCtorueme may she never forget the free principles whiCh establiirfea her on the Throne of this realm.—(Great cheering.) The CHAIRMAN next proposed the health of "'Prince Albert, and the rest of •the Royal Family," which was also tahly acknowledged. • - The CHAIRMAN then observed, the toast lie now rose to propose would, he was confident, be responded to by them all with every delight and enthusiasm, for it was, in point of fact, the principal toast of the evening, and that toast was ".Prosperity to the cause of Free Trade !"—(The most deafening cheers here prevailed for some time.) Con siderable opposition, added the Chairman, was made to it at all hands ; but, great as that opposition was, it was his firm belief that in two years more this great principle would be triumphant.—<Cheers.) Yes, he believed that in two years more that old-fa.shioned gentleman at the other end of. the hall (the Giant) would be perambulating the streets of Sa lisbury once more to celebrate the victory over monopoly and oppression.—(Reiterated cheering.) Mr. C. SQuAuxv rose to propose." the health of Messrs. Cobden, Moore,- and Bright, for their unceasing and indefa tigable labours and zeal in the glorious cause." We need scarcely add that this toast was responded to' with every demonstration of delight. , The CHAIRMAN then proposed " the health of Mr. Lam• bert," which was similarly received. J. LAMBERT, Esq., in rising to return thanks for the ho nour they had conferred on him, said, he begged to present them his most cordial thanks. The present meeting was exceedingly gratifying*to him, and he assured them that every time he now met them impressed on him stronger feel- ings ; and it produced increased pleasure, and, at the same time, increased anxiety. It. increased 'his pleasure, be cause it was exceedingly gratifying to him to know that he had discharged his duty to their entire satisfaction, and that his conduct was calculated to advance the cause which they were now celebrating.—(Cheers.) And it produced increased anxiety, for he almost feared, taking humanity into consideration, that he should not be able to carry out those great principles incumbent on him—for they , well knew the frailty of human nature, and how liable it was to err, and hence he was afraid that he should one way or the' other deviate from the path of rectitude. But he would be g them to remember he had no wish to do so. And the only thing which he feared was that the cause might suffer at ,his hands. Since they last met various circumstances had arisen, but not in his opinion calculated to injure the cause which they had espoused, and amongst others was the forma! Lion of the Anti-Anti-Corn-law League Societies Salisbury,; for one place, had used its efforts, poor and imbecile as theyl were. 'The meeting no doubt recollected that the Assembly Rooms was the place chosen for this hole and corner exhibi- , tion, where certain gentlemen and a few hirelings congregated to frustrate the honourable and praiseworthy efforts of tliej National Anti Corn-law League, and to give the lie, if pos sible, to 'the assertions truly made' as to the great progress ot League principles here, and that its supporters were but fecal in number. It would be in their recollection, that about thi time Lord Westminster subscribed the munificent sum o 500L—(Loud cheers)—while at the Assembly , Rooms his ' friend Burden, - the chimney-sweeper, enrolled him self a, memher of the. Anti-League Society, at this hole and-corner meeting, and put his name down for nothing —(Laughter and cheers.) By the bye, hehad a list of name of all the subscribers at this meeting, and had made a carefu estimate therefrom, and he,_ therefore, ascertained that Loa Westminster had more money coming in in six weeks tha all the Anti-LeagUe subscribers of Salisbury had in tvielv months ; and so much for a lately gained preponderating in flueece. i Now this grand demonstration at the Assembl Rooms was not an open meeting, but tliat of a hole-and-come character—(Hear)—where no Otte was allowed to proceed bu persons favourable to their cause and reporters of the same Consequently the inhabitants of Salisbury were ignorant o their transactions, save Ps reported in their own papers It was quite impossible for any one to know what their pro gramme was, or what they intended to do—whether they were going to give lectures or hold public meetings, to refut4 the doctrine of the League. No, all was kept secret, as the meeting was, and the public left in profound ignorance of th course they intended to pursue.—(Hear, hear.) Contrast then the secret proceedings of these men with the open, fair; and candid conduct of the National Anti-Corn- law League, and any one could perceive which of the two had truth ant justice on its side.—(Cheers.) As a triumph then, of League principles, he would refer them to the late Bridgewater meeting, where the League had plainly shown its ascen. dancy.—(Loud cheers.) Now the Anti-League a e l Salisbury, not being content with the proceedings her I which he had described, went , down to Devizes, and len their assistance to a meeting of a very similar character And this also could not be designated a county meeting, fo the Sheriff did not convene it ; and there alSo every person o free trade principles was excluded, but their reporters wer of course, allowed. Now the meeting here eonsistedof aver few gentlemen —some nine or ten clergymen and a number o voters, who were driven to the poll to record their votes fo Mr. Campbell. So much for the Anti-League movements a Salisbury. Now the Tories had been distributing afe copies of a tract here ; but even in this instance they did no follow the example of the Anti-Corn-law League, for th League distributed their publications to one and all, withou respect to party, with a view of convincing every one- tha they had truth and justice on their side. Note so, howeve with the Tories, who only furnished their owu party wit them. The tract to which he alluded was the speech of Mr. Day, of St. Ives, in Huntingdonshire, and that place ha been frequently spoken of by Mr. Cobden as being the onit place, where the League had been defeated, and the last platp where persons had been burned for witchcraft.—(Laught4 and cheers.) This tract, however, contained a strange medley of statements, and, among ' other assertion* it was alleged that if England purchased corn of other countries those countries would n p ot in exchange take our manufactures. But if this opinion was generally en tertained or believed, why, he (Mr. Lambert) would ask, di so many individuals of high and undoubted authority sub scribe their five hundred pounds each ? What advanta would it be to the manufacturers if they could not exten their market? Mr. Hussey, M.P., in his speech, had bee reported to express his fears, that if free trade took place vast amount of gold would be drained from this country; but they would be pleased. to remember, that . gold was ncit ' dug in Mr. Hussey 's garden nor in thelate Mr. Wyndham park. Where was it got then and how ? Why, fro abroad, and in exchange for manufacturing industry. W there not what was called the rate of exchange to correct tlip evil arising from a drainage of gold from this country? The ' would remember, that in the year 1842 there was a Ver - large quantity of corn, two and a 'half millions of qu ' erprs i - ported; and in that year there was a larger amo u nt of liu - lion in the Bank than in the year when the import of Ciorki was the smallest. Mr. Lambert then refuted several a.ssei ' dons relative to the rate of wages keeping pace with e prices of corn, and in doing so pointed out, as an illu.stratio , the low wages (7s. per week) given at Shrewton to agiai l - tlf tural labourers. It must be evident, he added, that the pi* of labour entirely depended on its demand. Taking, for in stance, domestic servants. Cooks, because they were scar , more especially good cooks, could obtain a higher rate f wages than servants in any other capacity, and we e ' consequently sure of employment. Now, it was loft urged against the views of the League, what low wages t e labourers in Prussia received, but could the labourers of t s country be possibly worse oft' than they were at present ? Let them read the' accounts published in the papers fro time to time, and an answer was at once given. They h d no doubt read the report' of the Covent-garden meetin , wherein it was stated by that patriotic and revered charact . Mr. O'Connell—(Here a burst of popular feeling took p , 1 which it is quite impossible to describe, and again and aga the shouts of applause rent the ancient hall.)

Mr. Osborne tc.: Lord Ashley, which contained many instances of the most lament able character which existed in that country. And most lamentable, he would repeat, was it to reflect that in almobt their own immediate neighbourhood existed a population the one-eighth part of whom were paupers. Mr. Osborne.states the miserable habitations of the poor in various parts of the country, and in one place he says, " The second divisidn has the family of a Man and his wife, aged forty-five, with seven children, from five to twenty-two years old, hav ing three bed-rooms, in one of which are six brothers and sisters. One of the young women has lately been confined Of a bastard child; the other has long been in a dangerous state of health—(Hear, hear)—and in this room (not tqn feet square) are two beds for two young women, age cl seven teen and twenty-two, and three youths, aged thirteen, fifteen, and twenty !

Lord ~ Morpeth, one of the Vice-presidents, was to have taken the chair, but being prevented by the critical state of the Earl of Carlisle's health, Sir Edward Codrington fulfilled the duties of the office very ably. After dinner the usual toasts were proposed, and 'several of them were responded to by gentlemen present. Aceording to the custom .practised by the Society, honorary medallions were distributed to those gallant persons who, during the past year, had distinguished themselves in special acts of courageous humanity. Upon this occasion there were several interesting eases, and the presentation of the medals and the graceful compliments conveyed by the Chairman to the recipients formed unques tionably the most gratifying circumstances of the evening. The individuals who thus became entitled to the public thanks were—the Rev. Dr. Butler, Dean of Peterborough ; Sir Walter Riddell, Bart. ; Mr. H. S. Polehampton ' Captain Corbin, Mr. Edwards, and M r. Whi te h ea d . D r . Butler— upwards of seventy years of age—in the January of last year, plunged into the Grand Junction Canal, near Northampton, and brought out a woman who had precipi- tated herself into it. The other gentlemen had signalised themselves in similar heroic acts ; and, in each case, had succeeded in preserving humali life. The little narratives which accompanied the delivery of the official thanks, and the speeches of the intrepid men who were the themes, were heard with unaffected pleasure by the company, and they made many demonstrations of satisfaction during the pro gress of the business. subsequently, some 30 or 40 people — men, women, 'and children—who had been rescued from death by the Society's intervention, marched slowly round the room to -the moaning accompaniment of the organ, an exhibition which might have been spared, for the associations it occasioned were anything but agreeable. The subscrip tions were considerable, amounting, as we understood, to nearly 9001., including the twentieth donation of the Duke of Sutherland of 1001., 20 guineas from the Chairman, and several sums varying from five to ten guineas each. Sir George StauntOn, Sir John Croft, Sir John Stodart, and Mr. Serjeant Andrews were among the company present.

The Secretary having rea d th e minutes of the last for the p ur p ose of meeting, and a Report of the proceedings since that time up to the present, th e severa l sew ers'-rate collectors were called in to rend er th e i r accoun ts, when some few reductions were submitt e d to , an d a great number of summonses and warrants issued against the defaulters. A number of applications were then made by persons for permission to run drains from various tenements, chiefly in the neighbourhood of St. John's-wood, Lisson grove, and in the north part of the district of West minster, most of which were granted by the Court. In none of these applications was there the slightest point of interest, except to the parties immediately con cerned. ---- TURNFIKE TRUSTS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—A Bill, originating in the Upper House of Par liament, is to be brought in on the subject of " Turn pike Trusts." The late " Reform Act," in its operation, takes in many villages in the neighbourhood of large towns and cities_, and they become part and parcel of the " bo rough." In many instances there are turnpike-gates in the intermediate spaeib, which subject the inhabitants to the payment of toll in passing from one part of the borough to another. ' These villages now being subject to the borough rates, should certainly be exempt from such toll. In their former position there was no ground for complaint; it is therefore to be hoped (and, as I think, an act of com mon justice) that all turnpike-gates and toll-bars will be removed to outside the boundaries of the boroughs. Redland, near Bristol, Feb. 28, 1844. In the House of Commons, last night, Mr. Blewitt quoted the following extract from Dr. Channing's works :—" To a man who looks with sympathy and brotherly regard on the mass of the people, who is chiefly interested in the lower classes,' England must present much which is repulsive. Though a monarchy in name, she is an aristocracy in fact ; and an aristocratical caste, however adorned by pri vate virtue, can hardly help sinking an infinite chasm between itself and the multitude of men. A privileged order, posses sing the chief power of the State, cannot but rule in the spirit of an order—cannot respect the mass of the people— cannot feel that for them Government chiefly exists, and ought to be administered; and that for them the nobleman holdshis rank as a trust. The condition of the lower orders at the present moment is a mournful commentary on British institutions and civilisation. The multitude are .depressed in that country to a degree of ignorance, want, and misery, which must touch every heart not made of stone. In the civilised world there are few sadder spectacles than the con trast now presented in Great Britain, of unbounded wealth and luxury, with the starvation of thousands and tens of thousands, crowded into cellars and dens without ventilation or light—compared with which the wigwam of the Indian is a palace—misery, famine, brutal degradation in the neigh bourhood and presence of stately mansions, which ring with gaiety and dazzle with pomp and unbounded profusion, shock us as no other wretchedness does ; and this is not an accidental, but an almost necessary effect of the. spirit of aristocracy and the spirit of trade acting intensely together. It is a striking fact that the private charity of England, though almost incredible, makes little impression on this mass of misery—thus teaching the rich and titled to be just before being generous, and not to look to private munificence as:a remedy for the evil of selfish institutions." ALARMING INCREASE OF SMALL PDX.—The ra-. vages of this disease are making such progress in the eastern parishes of London that the parochial authorities of St. Leo nard's, Shoreditch, • have deemed it necessary to issue a printed notice upon the subject, cautioning all parents and gna.rdians of children on the subject of vaccination, and the penalties to which they are liable in cases of culpable neglect during the presence of small-pox, DEFERRED ANNINTIER Another Bonus will be declared hi the present year. The best and most varied provision for after-life hitherto offered-- every 21. I2s. per annum, paid from the age of twenty, will, at sixty fire, give the policy-holder the choice of an annuity of 471. 16s. 6d., or 3491. 118. cash, or policy at death of 4661. Similar advantages at fifty-five, and sixty, through an increased annual payment— two-thirds payments lent at any time, and two-thirds returned to re presentatives in cases of premature death. F.

From the Non-Electors of Salisbury to the Liberal Bur gesses of St. Martin's and Saint Thomas's Wards in this City, " Fellow-Citizens,—The contest on the occasion of the re cent municipal elections have afforded you the opportunity of displaying the high principle which has put our victorious opponents to the blush, and rendered us under the obligation of thus tendering to you our most sincere and heartfelt thanks. " You have acted manfully and nobly, and though you have only fulfilled your duty, you have done so under such circumstances as to confer an honour on our common cause, and yourselves .in connection with it, in the estimation of every honest man. When those who from their previous professions, their stations in society, and their comparative independence, ought to have led you on to victory, deserted their standard and sheltered themselves under the false ex cuse—" expediency," you, the men who depend for the means of supporting.yourselves and families on the precarious profits of business, boldly fought your own battle, and though defeated, still remain unconquerable. " We would urge upon you the necessity of standing the ground so firmly maintained, and persevering in that course which must ultimately end in success. You will be perse cuted, but you will receive the reward of honesty; a contented mind ; and should your faithfulness incur even the extreme penalty—poverty, be assured that those men who may be the authors of it cannot embitter that glorious feast which the actions of a righteous man continually present before him. " At the same time that we urge upon you the necessity of persevering in the paths of duty and justice, we would not fox get that the result of your conduct will equally affect yourselves and us in common with the whole nation ; we cannot be unconscious that, if you fall, we fall in conse quence ; we therefore deem it our duty to unite, as a body, to support those who may be punished by unprincipled men, whose contracted ideas cannot conceive a duty so exalted as the good of society apart from personal advantage. " Though we cannot individually command opulence suffi cient to offer you the same base compromising terms which our opponents would have you to imagine at their command, yet we flatter ourselves that our number is so much greater than their's, as to enable us to defy comparison.. And let us not be misunderstood. .We. scorn to offer our united pa tronage as a bribe, but we hold it up as an indemnity to the present persecuted. honest man." Signed on behalf of the meeting of non-electors, held at the Wheat Sheaf Inn. this 21st Feb., 18441 • W. H. ELKINS, Chairman. The reading. of this document elicited great applause.

FRENCH CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. SITTING OF FEB. 29. The motion of M. Carnci being the first order of the day, brought together great crowds. After some routine business, M. Cara mounted the tribune and said, the Chamber, in 1842, had been divided in itN opi nions relative to the new colonies. Some regarded them as useless and dangerous acquisitions. Others, again, regarded them as valuable. This opinion was formed between the two extremes, and what should now influence the Chamber in maintaining the French flag in the Society Islands was a sen timent of national honour. The French flag had been planted on the soil of the Pacific, and it should not be withdrawn- The Honourable Deputy then read the various documents laid on the table, and continued to state that Queen Pomare, led away by the presents which she had received from the English Government, and by the instigations of that Government, had refused to abide by the treaty of the proteetorate of September. 18. The diffi culty which had arisen had been laid to the fault of dgrown. He should be curious to know whether the French hag, had ever been-removed. _ . _ Admiral de Mackau here rose, and said that the flag of the protectorate, consisting of the old flag of Otaheite and the French tricoloured flag united, had remained hoisted over the island during the fourteen ,months which followed the conclusion of the treaty, of the 9th of September, 1842. 4 , The Queen had besides a fancy ilag flying over her residence, on which figured, not a closed crown, but a crown of the moE inoffensive nature, for it was formed of interwoven leaves of the cocoa-nut tree; and the only difference between At Da petit Thouars and the Queen was, that the former required that she should substitute for those cocoa-nut leaves either red or white stars.—(Laughter.) M. de Cara next resumed, and proceeded to justify the susceptibility of the Admiral, and his indignation at not see ing unfurled on the Royal residence the flag which he had left there a year before. He then blamed the conduct of Mi nisters, who waited ten days before publishing their dis avowal, and contended that it had been evidently an act dictated by the English Government. M. Guizot, after repelling the charge of having yielded to a foreign influence, described the real position of France at Otaheite in virtue of the treaty of the 9th of September, 1842, by which the Admiral had merely and provisionally accepted, in the name of King Louis Philippe, the Protectorate of the Society Islands. On receipt of that document the Minister of Marine, he said, had forwarded instructions, on the 28th of April, 1843, to the Admiral and to M. Bruat, the Governor of the Marquesas, and " Commissioner" of the King at Otaheite, from which it would be seen that the latter was recommended to have a perfect understanding With the Queen and the Chiefs on all domestic affairs, and to attend to the strict execution of the treaty. They had received no instruction calculated to justify the measure to r' the Admiral had had recourse. After signing the trea, v the Admiral repaired to the western coast of America, and was absent an entire year. During his absence the English missionaries had exerted themselves to prevail on the Queen and the Chiefs to elude the exe cution of the treaty. They had been abetted in their intrigues by some of the naval officers of the British station. In the mean time, however, the English Government having notified to France that it would not oppose the establishment of the French in the Society Islands; the English missionaries and officers, who had acted as they did, because they were ignorant of the intentions of their Government, no sooner heard of this decision, than they altered their course. Cap tain Nicholas, who commanded a British frigate off Papaiti, and had countenanced the proceedings of the missionaries, had been recalled by his Admiral six weeks before the return of M. Dupetit Thouars, who found off the island the Dublin frigate, whose captain, by his peaceable demeanour, gave him no subject of complaint. The Admiral had no difficiilty to encounter which could not have been surmounted, without having recourse to force, by a little moderation and wisdom. Queen Pomard and the chiefs did not resist the execution of the treaty, and no obstacles , thereto had been raised by the English. The Admiral had committed an egregious error in starting the question of the flag, and deported himself nei ther with prudence nor wisdom throughout the affair. There were then three banners unfurled on Otaheite—the trico loured flag, the flag of the protectorate, and the personal or domestic flag of the Queen, which she had a right to hoist in virtue of her sovereignty, which she had not abdicatedby the treaty. The Admiral had a right to demand the execu tion of the treaty, whether she had signed it voluntarily or under the impression of fear, and he was not justified in tay ing forcible possession of her dominions. Under those cir cumstances, the Government conceived that the Admiral had exceeded his powers, and did not hesitate to disavow him. There was nothing in the instructions addressed to him or to M. Brunt, nor in the facts or circumstances in which they found affairs at Otaheite, to justify the military occupation of the Society Islands. No plea of necessity, utility, or jus tice, could be invoked to justifythat act M. Guizot vindi cated himself against the charge of having yielded on this occasion to the injunctions of England. He denied that such had been the case, declared that the resolution of the Cabinet had been spontaneous, and adopted before entering into any communication on the subject with the British Government, and officially, positively, and completely denied all assertion to the contrary. They had acted with the same independence which had presided at the decision of the British Cabinet when the latter refused to sanction the taking possession of the Sandwich Islands. The French Cabinet had not been in fluenced by what had been said on the subject of Otaheite in the British Parliament. It was a calumny which he indig nantly repelled. He felt proud to have re-established the good understanding with England, and exerted himself in maintaining it, but it was at the cost of no sacrifice. His great object had invariably been to maintain friendly relations and a cordial understanding with Great Britain, but he had, nevertheless, been guilty of no act of weakness, nor subscribed , to a concession to secure _ Billault, who succeeded M. Guizot, complained of the insufficiency ,of the documents communicated by the Minis ters, and expressed surprise at the Admiral only devoting the few lines produced to the account of so important an event as the occupation of Otaheite. ' Admiral de Blacken here interrupted M. Billault, and de clared, on his honour, that the dispatches deposited in the archives of the House were the only ones he had received by the Elizabeth whaler. M. Billauli next iesumed, and was left speaking. 'ISM:LONGER& AND POULTERERS ' B ENEVQLEI4T IN STITUTION.—The ninth annual general meeting of the above Institution was held, on Thursday evening, at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet-street, for the purpose of receiving the financial and general Retort for;the last year, with an account of the petitions for relief, and also to elect officers for the present year. The meeting was most numerously attended ; and, in the absence of M. W. Attwood, Esq., the president, Mr Kenneth presided. The Report set forth that the funded stock amounted to 2,750/. ; the subscriptions and donations of the past year, including the balance in the banker's hands, the produce of the theatrical benefit in October last, etc-, amounted to 480/. 6s. Bd., which, after defraying the neces sary expenses, left a balance (in addition to the capital stock) of 78/. 7s. sd. It was further stated that the presstire of the times and other circumstances had diminished the amount of subscriptions, while the theatrical benefit, which, in 1839, had yielded a profit of 123/. 125., had last year d c present their a greeing lo dwindled down to 3 /. 16s. ;. it was consequently deter minede and the subscriptions, majority of t :thosein to discontinue the theatrical benefits, steam e xcurs i ons, balls, B'c fr ie nds to do the like.
