By this line of railway it is intended to connect the free port of Stockton with the manufacturing •districts of the West Riding of Yorkshire and the whole of Lancashire. This important object will be attained at a trifling outlay of capital, and ensure an amply remunerative traffic. 'Abe line will be constructed from or near Stockton-on-Tees, to or near to Northallerton, a distance of only eighteen miles, where it will form a junet* on with the Great North of England Railway, which will be traversed to Think; and from that place the cemmunication with Leeds and the other important manufacturing towns will be completed by railway already slinctioned by Parliament. It will be sten, therefore, the; the communication by railway be tween the free port of the Tees and the town of Leeds will be com pleted by the formation of " The Stockton, Northallerton, and Leeds Railway." The advantages of this undertaking are too numerous to specify in an advr.tisetnent ; but merchants at all acquainted with the immense export and import trade of the West Riding and of Lancashire, will at once perceive bow important it is to open to that trade a port wilier*, whilst it is as advantageous as any other in point of distance, possesses facilities and immunities which none other can offer. From the favourable locality of the port of Stockton, there is no dotbt that, with the additional facilities for the importation and transit of merchandise wkich this railway will afford, the port will occupy a leading position amongst those on the Eastern coast of ENland. prqect has received very extensive local support ; and almost every landowner, through whose property the line is intended to pass, hag already aignlfled his assent to the treasure. The line of the country has been surveyed by an engineer of talent and experience, and, from his report, the work will be finished for 14,0001. smile; and there is no engineering difilculty of any descrip tion to encounter.

To provide for the widening of the thoroughfares of Throgmorton eel ct, Copthall-court, and Tokenhouse-yard ; also to form two e: • erred public footways leading from Tokenhouse-yard and Copthall eeert to London-wall, Finsbury, and the north of London. To facilitate these objects it Is proposed to erect, as shown by.the lint, .an exchange in the most central part of the metropolis, spacious and commodious fire-proof edifices, comprising suitable ranges of offices for railway companies, private committee-rooms, spacious f - ir annual and general meetings, &c., and an extensive range • v,r,sliouses as a general goods depot for railway transit. The • ee.s departments of the proposed establishment will, amongst other important and eligible appointments, include a railway ex e , club-house, halls, chambers, and general goods depot. I e railway companies In general such an establishment will be essentially useful, as every company will have all the convenience of an emee in the centre of London, where communication, under the same establishment, may be had with every company throughout the kingdom. By the adoption of this plan a general representation or all tire railways will at once be had, whereby an effective union for their mutual interests will take place, and a general public good will Is. established. The site fixed upon (being situate between Lothbury and London is at!, and very coutiguous to the Royal Exchange, Bank, and Stock liange) is well calculated for carrying out the whole of the above , :rposcs ; a careful survey and estimate has been made by compe- I lit surveyors, and (after allowing for the expenses of management) 1.,,e revenue arising from the exchange, the rental from railway com panies, the hire of the public hall and committee-rooms for general , :nd plicate meetings, the rent of offices and shops, the annual sub scriptions from members of the club, and from the general goods depot and, warehouses, and otherwise, a return equal to 15 per cent. Will be realised on the capital embarked. It will be seen by the plans proposed, that it is contemplated to widen the thoroughfares of Tokenhouse-yard, Angel-court, and Great Belt-alley, as well as to form light, open, and convenient foot ways between Lothbury and London-wall, thereby forming direct ecinmunicatiens between those parts and the buildings proposed to be erected. The public improvements will considerably enhance the revenue of the Company. and will afford easy access to the Railway Exchange, Railway Club-house, Halls, &c., an d w ill be the means of obtaning the cordial co-operetion of the Corporation of the City of London, application; for shares to be addressed, in the annexed form, to the Provisional Committee, Guildhall Coffee-house; to Messrs.

The 700 men embarked at 'Port Vendres, on board the Labrador, are the first troops which have arrived at Oran from France. Their arrival has pro duced the best effect, and will contribute to main tain the fidelity _of the tribes- which as yet have not revolted." The intelligence conveyed in this dis patch is considered highly unsatisfactory. The French troops, though said to amount to 80,000 men, and scattered over a vast extent of territory; probably one-third of them are invalided ; and numerous small divisions are thus exposed to the sudden attacks ofABD-XL-KADER'S troops. Even the Government paper, from which we have quoted, takes rather a gloomy view of the present position of the army. " The announced defection," it says, "of the three tribes in the environs of Oran is, indeed, bad news. The minds of the Arabs have been worked upon by assurances from the agents of ABD-EL-KADER that the reign of the infidels was at an end. They have taken part in the general movement, and reliance can be no longer placed on the fidelity or even the neutrality of the tribes. But we have now many advantages in our favour, which, at the beginning were wanting to us, for we have roads, towns, fortified camps, and points on the coast, where we can land troops without interruption ; in fine, we haVe become :per fectly acquainted with the topography of the whole country, and the greater portion of our troops are well practised in the species of warfare they have to carry on. We cannot fail in the end to gain once more our object. As to the amount of 80,000 men, we may observe that this is the number of the effective force, and there should be deducted from the active force many non-combatants who are reckoned in the total; that all the corps have a small depot in each of the towns of Algeria; that the men in the hospitals are comprised in the effective, and that the army is spread about in three wide provinces, occupying a great many towns, fortified camps, and posts stationed on the roads. It may, therefore, be easily conceived that the number of the moveable columns is ne cessarily restricted." Accounts from Algiers announce that Marshal BUGEAUD had commenced operations, and was on his way to put down the rebellious tribes. The Moniteur Algerien states that on the 18th inst. the Governor- General, attended by his Aides-de- Camp and orderly officers, left Algiers for Milianah to place himself at the head of a column of 4,000 men collected there for the purpose of acting to theeast of Oran. Colonel EYNARD, the Marshal s first Aide-de-Camp,:arrived:at Algiers on the 17th. M. GARNIER PAGES, the Deputy, arrived also at Algiers on the same day. The Akbar announces, that it had received intelligence that General CAVAIGNAC had made a razzia on the tribe in which Commandant Brum. and Lieutanant DE DOMBASLE, and their escort of five hussars, were so barbarously murdered. Before starting, however, the eccentric Marshal had been busily engaged in issuing proclamations and addresses, among others one to Ake Arabs and Kabyles, in which we find these curious phrases: " It appears that the demon of madness has possessed the minds of some among you. Driven by the Incessant, instigations of a chief, whose ambition takes no account of either your repose, your welfare, or even your lives, a great many of your tribes have risen in revolt against the authority of the King of the French, without any rational hope of attaining their object. Can they believe that France, who counts millions of warriors, would leave the victory in their hands, were it possible, as it is not, they should gain a conquest over those who are now in Algeria! This is a great error in them. Armies much more formidable than the first would quickly come over, and the only final result would be the total de struction of the Arab race. In latter days, have we not ruled and directed you with the mildness and favour as we have treated the French. If you cannot feel this, and prefer to this paternal go vernment the cruel tyranny of Abd-el-Kader, it must be because the light of God has been withdrawn from you. You can have no one to blame but yourselves for the ills you bring down upon you. lam come with a second army. I will not leave the smallest corner of the rebellious parts of the country unexplored, pursuing the revolted tribes to wherever they may retreat, and, if they per sist in not returning to their lands in perfect submission, I will banish them for ever from Algeria, and bring other people to fill their places." THEATRE ROYAL, HAYMARKET. THIS EVENING On Saturday evening the King of the FRENCII received the Austrian Ambassador, Lord BROUGHAM, and General SEBASTIAN!. The :Courrier de Marseilles states that Mr. LEADER, the Member for Westminster, is waiting at Cannes the arrival of Lord BROUGHAM, who was expected in a few days. _ _ According to a letter from Toulon of the 23d, the report of the squadron, under the orders of Admiral PARSEVAL DES CRENES, having been ordered to proceed from Algiet s to the coast of Morocco, was unfounded. This squadron is now stated to have been on the 15th off Cagliari, in Sardinia. The Funds and prices of Shares continued depressed on the Paris Bourse on Monday.

There was but little doing in Cotton at Liverpool yester day. Sales, 2,000; bales, all to the trade, and without any change in prices. There was a butter feeling in the Share market, which was firmer and more healthy, and prices in some instances advanced. When a question has to be discussed involving the inte rests of hundreds of well-concocted schemes for railway extension, and the probeble future employment of thousands of our fellow-creatures spay be concerned, it is of the most material importance that truth should be the basis of public 'writers. And if to bolster up a case there is an absence of that most important ingredient, the public are fairly entitled to distrust any such authorities. Our contemporary the Times,in its City article to-day, states—" None of the Companies stand in a much better position (alluding to railways generally) than the Great Western, yet the fact is, that a purchaser of 10 shares in its stock 12 months ago would be now, at least, 1,0001. the poorer." Now, thisis not the fact, as those who bought Great Western Shares 12 months ago have been large gainers by a rising market almost continuously. And what is the difference in the prices since the Bank notice came out? from 162 to 145—a loss upon 10 shares of about 170/., the largest reduction that has occurred in this species of property for many years. In truth the Railway Share Mat ket has rallied considerably, and the state of public confidence has most materially rallied also. On the 29th October, 1844, Great Western Shares were 61 to . 62 premium. On the 16th inst., when the Bank notice came out, they were 81 to 83 premium. Yesterday they were 65 to 70 premium. It is true there have been great intermediate fluctuations, but these only affect the speculator in the same manner as the variation in the funds, many holders of which do not sell out for years together. In what respect, then, is railway property less secure or eli gible, as an investment, than stock, and which would be safest or most profitable in war time? There are papers of June 21 from Sydney, and June 12 from Port Philip. Matters were progressing very favourably, and trade was brisk. The Funds have been firm again to-day, with a fair busi ness doing. Consols are 96% to 97 for present Transfer, and 9634 to 97% for Account. Exchequer Bills have been 41s. to 38s. premium ; New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 97 3 / to 98%. The Foreign Bonds have been rather higher. Spanish Five per Cents. are 26 to 26 1 4 ; the Three per Cents., 36 to 37 1 4 ; Portuguese Four per Cents. 56 to 57 1 4 ; Mexican, 30%; Chilian, 99 ; and Brazilian, 80.

A melancholy exemplification of the unequal degree of sympathy manifested by_ the law in its practical administra tion for the rich as compared with the poor, occurs in a para graph we have transcribed from the Somerset County Gazette. It relates to one of the most deplorable catastrophes into which madness or despair can precipitate a rea soning being. It regards the case of a wounded, impetuous spirit, stung by the intolerable pressure of a present distress, presumptuously withdrawing from its appointed sphere of existence and of duty,—and "rushing" —as it is somewhat vaguely but impressively described—" into the presence of its CREATOR,"—unbidden, unanealed !" GOD forbid! that we should be misunderstood—in our observations on this melancholy event—to speak irreverently of that Divine prohibition which has its echo in the conscientious and abhorrent convictions of every human breast. We should be reluctant, to the last degree, to be suspected of regarding with levity or irreverence that stern but wise and solemn reprobation with which human institu tions resent Ibis insult on the Supreme Majesty of the Uni verse. But it is with no such feelings—it is in the absence of any such purpose—that we find ourselves compelled to denounce the Coroner's verdict returned on the inquest at tending the circumstances which led to the death of JAmEs LovELL, of Norton Kewstoke, Somersetshire, who com mitted suicide on Saturday last by hanging himself. This is but one exemplar of a very numerous class of cases in which we are too often shocked—not by the servile and obsequious promptitude of inquest juries, in devising every possible construction of circumstances proved in evidence— every possible assumption that can be formed in the absence of Lr g o , o s f e , v an ni d ur ev d e e r: -lipaobsiseibtleo acterratianiningpeonfatlheviesxitiastitilaowf, ex xenpdeors-t facto ignominy —(fur these things have almost ceased to startle: by their daily occurrence)—but, by the careless, unhesitating, and reckless consistency with which they re turn verdicts of felo-de-se against these children of misery and wretchedness whose crime against the decree of GOD himself, is aggravated in the eyes of these duodecimal councils by the more inexpiable guilt of poverty ! Is there a country in the world where poverty is more persecuted in life—more hunted down after death, even—than this, with all its boasted institutions, its moral bearing, its munificent charities. We seriously fear that there is not. A Pharisaical, conventional propriety appears to be at once more diffusively established, and more highly appreciated, than a plain, unobtrusive, meek, and sustained Christian deportment of benevolence to, and pity for, our species. It was but to the excess of this pseudo " correctness ;" this meretricious shadow of a morality beautiful by very reason of its simplicity; this white-washed, decorum-hiding, not atoning for, the " multitude of sins," that the miscreant TAWELL, in the beginning of the present year, sacrificed the substantial merits of his private charities and good works, and all the worldly advantages of a competent fortune and a " respect able position in society." How many hundreds of thousands yet remain among us who, without so far losing their calcu lating habits of self-possession as to be hurried into crimes of so deep and revolting a dye as those of TAWELL, do yet maintain this "respectable position" in the great world by sacrifies of principle, of integrity, of candour, of affections; by violations, one day to be atoned for in this world, or be yond it, of the most sacred ties of kindred, honour, and good faith ; and the studied contravention of the great rule of human conduct, "to do to others as we would be dealt by ourselves" —every day in the year, and almost every hour in the day ? If they be not great convicted criminal offenders, like the heartless poisoner, they are not less heartless as moral delinquents of another kind ;—the plausible but. worthless Pecksniffs of society. Were not this the case, it is certain that so pernicious an example would not affect, afwe are per suaded it does, the judgment of jurors in that remarkable manner which the verdicts of coroners' inquests exhibit. If an honourable or noble speculator on a race-course, or a wealthy and influential dealer in the money market, after being defeated in the projects which he has raised on some operat!on of extraordinary magnitude in his peculiar sphere, communes with his friends, or settles under his own handwriting his worldly affairs, all this evidence of mental collectedness and deliberation is at once passed over as nugatory, or accepted as establishing the case for a curtain inevitable verdict—that the " unfortunate nobleman," or " lamented gentleman," committed suicide whilst labouring under temporary insanity. The jury is thanked and dismissed. The coroner sympathises in the recess of a window, or a corner of the chamber, with the nearest relative or friend of the deceased who has given evidence, and takes his leave with all the serenity of a man who has done his duty, and—earned his fees. In due time there is the general pomp of an elaborate procession to the last resting-place of the body of the deceased ; and the sympathies and grief of the spectators, young and old, provided they be of " a respectable rank " in society, are wonderfully excited by the recollections of high birth, or great opulence, or eminent ability,—in short, of any of the accidents which ought to have withheld the departed from the " rash act" by which his life has been violently terminated. Reverse the medal. Look at this lamentable suicide of a poor labouring man, haunted by so inconvenient and offensive a degree of sensitiveness, on the part of a person in his hum ble sphere of life, that " the fact of being unable to pay his rent for the cot in wjiich he lived" is generally thought to have been " the cause of his committing the act." Aye ! this is, indeed, a sordid and therefore an unpardonable crime. A pauper, not content to rot in the slavish obscurity and squalled indolence of a poor-house, but ambit ions,forsooth, to maintain himself in an independent, though famishing exist ence, by honest industry ; this pauper labourer, discovering after all his efforts that his scanty wages are all too little, after all his gallant fight to maintain himself out of the union workhouse, to defray the rent of his humLle cabin, is driven, no doubt, to desperation by the reports which are published every week of proceedings at quarter sessions and petty assizes, where distraints for rent, and distress warrants for levying the fractional dues on ac. count of poor-rates for tenements whose fractional rents ex ceed the reach of their fractional wages, are granted by wholesale—with overwhelming additions in the shape of costs and fees; and executed with that unsparing rigour which seizes the bed from beneath its dying occupant; the wooden chair from " the man sick of the palsy ;" the straw pallet from the unconscious infant offspring of the wretched; and drives out from his fireless hearth, and his bare walls, and the protection of his shattered roof, the ousted pauper, an exile, less guilty, but scarely less desperate, than CAIN him self, on a wide and desolate and unpitying world. Poor LOVELL, we have no doubt, had before his eyes the vivid pic ture of these last acts in the domestic tragedy of the unem ployed or ill-paid labourer's existence; and to escape an al ternative which our poor seem now to concur in regarding as more terrible than dissolution, rashes upon his fate, and ex tinguishes, with hia:own hand, the sacred lamp of life that has been confided to his keeping by its ALMIGHTY source. If the ruined but high-born gamesters on the turf, the once enormously rich and luxurious, but suddenly broken, speculator can, to a very certainty, find in every coroner's jury a sympathy for his last mental afflictions, and a merciful straining of flit law to rescue his insensib'.e corpse and his future memory from superadded ignominy, how happens it that the poor peasant, whose life has been passed in the •ever-toiling but unsuccessful attempt to secure the necessaries of existence —not to accumulate only to abuse supertiuities of its enjoyments—how happens it, if he, maddened by the breaking down of all his honest exertions to sustain himself by the sweat of his own brow, rushes on the crime of self-destruction, rather than eat the bread of parochial alms, as it is now too commonly and too grudgingly bestowed ; that these inquests are sure to declare tliat he was of sound mind when be killed himself; that they brand the last excess of his despair with the legal infamy of a verdict of felo-de-se— and leave his dishonoured remains to be pitched into a hole anywhere, anyhow, at any time, without ceremony, attend ants, mourners, or pity I It would appear that the inhabitants of England are doomed ever to be the victims of the vested interest of the clergy, for while the tithe-owning rector of the country parish joins with the monopolist landowner in opposing the opening of the ports for the free admission of the food of the people, because he has a vested interest in famine; his brother rector of the town claims an equal!) , vested interest in plague and pestilence, and as strenuously opposes all plans for the establishment of cemeteries out of the City. A letter from Dr. CRONIN, the physician to the Strand Dis pensary for the Cure of Consumption, appears in our columns to-day, descriptive of the present state of the Savoy Churchyard, which is situated between the back of the houses in the Strand and the river, in the midst of a densely populated neighbourhood. "At all times" says Dr. CRONIN, "there is a most noxious effluvium from this churchyard, and when (in a heavy dense state of atmos phere, as at the present time, and as has been for the last five weeks) a grave is opened, the stench and emanations are really intolerable, and truly deserving of public reprehension and denunciation, as most fertile causes of producing and spreading pestilential disease." The Doctor thus describes the effects produced upon himself by the noxious exhalations from this magazine of pestilence : —" Several graves have been lately opened within the last month. In one day there was in this small churchyard no less than three open at the same time, the noxious exhala tions from which were so overpowering as to produce on my self faintness, succeeded by violent retching," The description is not overcharged, and so far is the Savoy Churchyard from oeing an unfavourable specimen of the burial-grounds in the metropolis, that we have no hesitation in stating that we know of no burial-ground which is not more crowded, more closed up, more pestilential. The Savoy is, perhaps, the most favourable specimen of a metropolitan burial-ground that the advocates of inter ment within the precincts of great towns could produce. Surely Sir J. GRAHAM will no longer hesitate to bring in some measure to do away with this crying evil. He it is who is responsible for its continuance, as but for his interference, ac companied by a promise that the Government would con sider the subject, Mr. MAcKnixori would have perse vered in the measure which he introduced, two ses sions ago, for prohibiting interments within the pre cincts of large towns. The Government did consider the subject, and Sir JA3IES GRAHAM announced that they were not prepared with any measure, as they found it impossible to reconcile conflicting interests. We hope, how ever, that the matter will now be taken up in right earnest and that the safety and health of the community will be no longer sacrificed to the grasping avarice of those who claim a vested interest in " plague, pestilence, and famine." Madrid journals of the 21st state that, though no official business is transacted on the Bourse, purchases to a consider able amount had lately been made, and a considerable rise in the funds had taken place. A rich capitalist, according to the Espanol, had invested large sums in the Three per Cents., and continued to purchase all that is offered for sale. The quotations, as given in private letters on the 21st, were : Three per Cents., 34 cash, 34i for the Account. Five per Cents., 23 cash. Coupons, 246 to 25 for the Account. p as .. sive Debt, 8A to 81 for cash. These prices show a rise of nearly 2 per cent. since the last official quotations. The Edi tor of the Espectador had been tried for a libel on the Go vernment, but without a jury, and condemned to pay a fine of 20,000 reels (2000 One of the papers repeats the rumour that ABD-EL-KADER had agents at Gibraltar and Lisbon to engage European officers in his service ; and adds, " that a committee for the same purpose had_ been established at Madrid." The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the state of Al geria, and from the latest accounts it is anything but favour able. Several tribes that had made their submission to the French had thrown off their allegiance, and thus, says the Journal des Debats, " we have to fight our battles over again, and renew our conquest over one half of the Algerian terri tory." The conclusion of the telegraphic dispatch from Per pignan gives rise to these remarks, and is as follows : " General BOURJOLLY and Colonel ST. ARNAUD had effected their junction, and were awaiting reinforcements previous to commencing operations. Bou MAGA, with 300 cavalry, bad attacked, on the 18th inst., a tribe under the very walls of Mostaganem. Lieutenant-Colonel MEra.prET, with the troops which were in that town, had repulsed him. During the night of the 18th three tribes of the subdivision of Oran had revolted. They are the first of that subdivision which have j Do. & Cette (Espeleta) Do.

There was no ceremony, nor were any of the City officials present. The circumstance we have stated took place at three o'clock, before a considerable assembly of spectators, and amidst loud cheers. The statue when thus disclosed to view had a very striking effect, and • excited the general admiration of all present. Up to the closing of the area at the termination of business on 'Change, great numbers of spectators visited the spot to have a view of the marble re presentative of the Queen of the Isles. It is said to be her Majesty's intention to honour Drury-lane The ►tre with her presence to-morrow evening, after the inauguration of Lincoln's Inn-hall. The Dowager Duchess of Bedford, and Lady Rachel Evelyn Russell, are still at the Doune of Rothiemurchus, ho the Highlands, where her Grace is entertaining a select party. The Duke of Wellington arrived at Apsley House yesterday, from Weimer Castle, accompanied by Lord Charles Wel lesley. Ills Grace is expected to attend her Majesty to the opening of Lincoln's Inn New Hall to-morrow. Lady Charles Wellesley has gone on a visit to the Right Hon. Henry Pierrepoint, at Chersholt Park, near Andover. The Duke of Buccleuch and the Hon. Mr. Under- Secretary George W. Hope, who were sent for express frem Scot land, in consequence of the alarming illness of Lett' Montagu, have arrived in town. The answer to inquiries yesterday, in Hamilton place, was, that his Lordship had passed a good night, but was much the same as on the preeeding day. STEALING LETTERS OF ALLOTMENT.—Some days past suspicions have been entertained that an organised system exists for purloining letters of allotment, and that the principal parties :concerned are some of the sub-officials of the Post-office. A few days ago, a letter was posted by the secretary or solicitor of the Northampton, Bedford, and Cambridge Railway, and addressed to C. Rawlings, Esq., Warwick-street, Pimlico, which fell into the hands of one of the gang alluded to. Shortly after a notice was sent to Mr. Rawlings, informing him on what day the deed would be ready for signature. On inquiry at the offices of the Company, he was informed that the amount of the deposit had been paid into the banker's hands by the person who bad improperly obtained possession of the letter; and when he made his appearance for the purpose of signing the deed, he would be given into the custody of the police for fraud and forgery. ROBBERIES AT THE ERECHTHEIUM CLUB-HOUSE.- The proprietors of this establishment, No. 8, York-street, St. James's-square, having within the last few weeks missed several vo lumes of Withers's works, an examination of the library was deter mined upon, when It was discovered that no fewer than thirteen va luable books had been stolen. Each of the volumes was bound in red morocco and gilt. No suspicion is at present attached to any In dividual. The Earl of Donoughmore was installed Master of the Clonmel Masonic Lodge on Friday, and the Earl of Glengah was also initiated a member. DEATH OF LADY STRAFFORDJ—The family of Lord Strafford have sustained another heavy bereavement by the demise of Lady Strafford, which took place on Sunday evening last, at the town residence Portman-square. Her Ladyship was daughter to Sir Walter James, Bart., being Lord Strafford's second wife. Our readers may recollect that Lady Agnes Bytig, wife of the Right Hun. G. S. Ryng, eldest son to his Lordship, died a short time since. DEATh OF SIR MATTHEW JOHN TIERNEY ? BART.-- We regret to announce the death of Sir Matthew Tierney, one of the oldest and most respected inhabitants of Brighton, which event took place yesterday morning, after a short illness. The Honourable Ba ronet had suffered for some years from attacks of gout. and there is very little doubt that a severe attack of gout was the immediate cause of death. Sir Matthew Tierney was a great favourite with George IV., and we believe held the appointment of physician to the King during the reign of William IV. Sir Matthew was born November 24th, 1776 ; and married October Bth, 1808, Harriet Mary, daughter of the late Henry Jones, Esq., of Blitomsbw•y-square, by whom he had no issue. Upon being appointed physician in ordinary to his Majesty, and physician to the household at Brighton, Mr. Tierney was created baronet, 3d October, 1818, and obtained a second patent, dated sth May, 1834, with remainder to his brother, Edward Tierney, Esq., of Fitzwilliam-street, Dublin, a crown solicitor for Ireland. Sir Matthew was appointed a Knight Commander of the Royal Guelphic Order of Hanover, 7th May, 1831. WALRROOK WARD.—Yesterday the Common Coun cil of Walbrook ward gave a farewell dinner to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, at the London Tavern. The company invited consisted of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Lady Mayoress, the Lord Mayor elect and his lady, Sir Moses and Lady Monteflore, Sir George and Lady Carroll, Mr. Alderman Hunter and Mr. Alderman Sidney, late Sheriffs, and their ladies; Mr. Sheriff Cluiplin and lady, Mr. Sheriff Laurie and lady, the Under-Sheriffs and their ladies. The en tire suite of rooms on the first floor, including the splendid drawing.. room, was appropriated to the entertainment, and fitted up for the occasion In the most gorgeous style. We need not say that the en tertainment consisted of every delicacy of the season, nor that It was served up with that exquisite taste for which the proprietors are dis tinguished. During the course of the evening many speeches were made, interspersed with music and singing, and the evening was spent in the highest enjoyment by all present. Seldom indeed has so costly and munificent a banquet taken place, resulting from the in terchange of kindly sentiments and friendly feelings.

THE ROBBERY AT HROMPTON BARRACKS.-CHAT HAN, OCT. 27.—John Forsyth, the man in custody on suspicion of stealing the cash-box belonging to the mess of the Royal Engineers stationed at Brompton Barracks, was brought up for final examina tion this day before the county magistrates at Rochester, when a chain of evidence tending to connect the prisoner with the robbery was adduced. It appeared that he had gone into the kitchen of Captain Lloyd and inquired of the maid servant whether her master was at home, but would not suffer her to call the man-servant to ask the question. He must for that purpose have pa.sed the room where the cash-box was deposited; and William 31`Water, Captain Lloyd's servant, saw a soldier going out of the door about that time with a cash-box in his hand, but could not identify the prisoner as the man. The box was found in a cupboard in a room to which the prisoner and two other men had access, still locked, and containing 67/. 17s. On settling with the messman a few days previously. Lieutenant Myrass missed 151., and it appeared the prisoner had changed three 5/. notes with a publican, two of which had been paid to Mr. Bromley, the agent of Colonel Best, and the other is now in the possession of the constable who apprehended him. lie was com mitted for trial at the quarter sesions at Maidstone. FURTHER RISE IN THE PRICE• OF BREAD.- Another advance of a half.penny on the 41b. loaf took place yester day in different parts of the metropolis; the " top " price, there fore, of "cheap" bread is now Bid., and of the best wheaten 91d., and in some places 10d. the 41b. loaf. Elizabeth Riches, charged with stealing a purse and some money from Janes Sarstield, pleaded Not Guil:y. Sarsfield was proceeding along Whitechapel, and was accosted by the prisoner, who requested him to walk home with her. She put her arms about his middle and parted from him soon after. A policeman saw them together, and, a short distance from the spot where the woman parted, met Sarsfield, with his pockets turned inside out. Sarsfield, who till then suspected nothing of it, found he had lost his purse and money. Policeman went after the pri soner, and found the purse produced, which, as to money, and ap. pearance, answers the prosecutor's description. The prisoner, without counsel, subjected both witnesses to a searching cross-examination. She is a widow, and appeared in Court with a suckling child. She had been convicted of a former offence, and was now . sentenced to ten years' transportation. John Rowe, Henry Taylor, anti Jason Jonathan Rowe, were brought up, charged with stealing eight bags o. charcoal and eight bags of charcoal dust, value I/. 75., the property of Messrs. Nyren and Pritchard, manufacturing chemists. Mr. G. Barry—ls a clerk in prosecutor's office. Saw the two Rowes, father and son, come into the yard with a cart ; Taylor followed soon after. John Rowe came afterwards to the office for a note of delivery for eleven bags of charcoal, and four bags of charcoal dust, and paid 11. Hs. Sd., the value of the quantity stated. Mr. Nyren remarked to me, as the cart passed out loaded on the unusually large appearance of the load. It is a rule in our yard, that no:charcoal or dust shall be brought into the yard by any wishing to purchase charcoal. The cart was not examined till it had gone as far as the White Horse on the London-road, about a quarter of a mile from the yard. There might be twenty or thirty nien in the yard at the time the cart was loading. Murphy is the man who delivers the charcoal. The note of de. livery is usually given after the cart is loaded, and Murphy of course is bound to allow no more to leave the yard than the quantity mentioned. Mr. Nyren and his partner are manufacturing ch.:mists. No ticed the cart, and suspected, hour the appearance, there must be a greater quantity than that on th- an,cii bags. this to the clerk. The cart was then passing out at the gate. He immediately passed out of the office and followed the cart near to Bow-bridge. Never lost sight of it except in turning street corners. Saw the cart after this at the White Horse, where he had it stopped, and brought back to the yard in the keeping of two constables. Came back to the yard for the constables. There was no difference in the appearance of the cart, as he saw it go out, when it came again into the yard. Timothy Drew—ls a police constable. Took John Rowe into custody. Smith, the parish constable, took Taylor into custody, and also brought the cart along to the chemist's yard. Examined the cart in the yard, and counted 19 bags of charcoal. The dust was in the body of the cart loose; both were measured, and turned out 19 bags of charcoal and 9i bags of dust. Murphy (who was at first committed as in the offence,) knows the prisoners. All the three were in the habit of coining often to the yard together. On the 17th September they came with a cart. The two Rowes loaded the cart. Taylor was present. Young Rowe went for the note of delivery. I saw the note; it was for 15 bags, Ido not know how there were snore bags on the cart. Them must have been more. I mean by them father and son. Taylor helped me to fill the bags. When they came into the yard tke father said he wished 10 or 12 bags of coal—the son five or six bags of dust. The father gave ..me 2s. for more measure. The son, when he returned from the office, gave me 4s. for the the same purpose. I measured 12 bags of coal and six of dust. I measured it when brought back again, and found 19 bags of coal and 9 bags of dust. the jury found the prisoners Guilty.—Sentence deferred till Saturday. PRESENT TO HER MAJESTY.—The Bombay, Cap tain Furley (Hon. East India Company's service), an East India trader, and one of the largest now afloat, being 1,400 tons burthen, arrived off Blackwall on Thursday last, and now lies in the river, waiting for a spring tide to carry her into dock, where the depth is not at present more than 22 ft., the Bombay now drawing 24 ft water. She is the property of Sir John Pixie and Co., and has made a remarkably quick passage, having come from Bombay in little more than 14 weeks, and the whole time occupied in her outw ar d an d homeward voyagez, including that of receiving the freight, has not been inure than ten months. She has brought a most splendid cargo, of the estimated value of 250,0001., in cluding four beautiful symmetrically-formed, Arabian, entire horses, of a fine grey colour, and which, together with their housing, of au extraordinary unique and gorgeous de scription (valued at 1,0001. per horse), are forwarded as a present to her Majesty by that celebrated Parsee merchai_t air Janisetjee Jejeehoy. They were brought over in the most excellent condition, chiefly through the unremitting care of Mr. Bandon, riding-master, of the Royal Bombay Artillery. They were debarked on Saturday, and transmit ted to her Majesty's stables, and in the transit thither through the streets of the metropolis excited the most mark ed attention and general admiration of the public. The cargo on board the Bombay consists of a large quantity of cotton, and an immense and unrivalled collection of magnifi cent shawls and silks, in every diversity of colour and pat tern, the whole of which is chiefly the importation and pro perty of Sir Jamesetjee Jejeehoy, who was knighted, for his aid to the British Government, and has attainted the highest point of general estimation in the eastern world, by his truly amiable manners, his philanthropy in founding hospitals and other charities in his own states, and promoting the com merce, arts, and sciences, and in every resp ec t th e genera l welfare of his caste and country. FROM CAPE HATTIEN.—By the brig Eolus, Capt. Hillier, fifteen days from Cape Ilaytien, we learn that the Haytiens had taken the pilot boat Virginia, formerly of Hampton, Virg., but at the time of her capture she was under the Dominican flag; at the same time they burnt another schooner, both being in the harbour of Santiago. The schooner Commodore W arr i ng t on , o f Philadelphia, was recently bought at the Cape by the Haytien Government, to be added to their naval force. The account of the battle between the Haytiens and Dominicans at Matayaga is con firmed, but the loss on the part of the Haytiens is said to be trivial—only two pieces of light artillery and a few prisoners, taken from a small skirmishing party.—New York Journal of Commerce. ADMISSION 01' FOREIGN CORN, DUTY-FREE.—It will be seen on reference to cur intelligence from Ireland, that our correspondent communicates the important fact, that a Treasury order had been received at the Dublin Custom.house, " for the admission of foreign corn duty.free on and after the Ist proximo." If this be the case, the Anti-Corn-law League may be considered as having little more to do than to quit the stage, close their bazaars, and settle their accounts.—Advertiser. BITING OFF A WOMAN'S FlNGER.—Arthur a private in the 65th regiment, and servant in the employ of Captain Black, paymaster of that corps, was brought before the county ma gistrates at Rochester, on Monday, charged with assaulting and biting Harriet Scartifield, the wife of a fisherman residing at Chatham. She stated that as she was passing through Watts-place, having a child in her arms, she saw the prisoner lying on the pavement with his hands bound, which some men had been compelled to do in con sequence of his riotous conduct. He bit her foot, and then jumping up he knocked down the constable and others who were attempting to secure him, and then also knocked her down, and seizing her hand, thrust it into his mouth, and bit off the top of her forefinger, which he took out of his mouth and threw at her. Her medical attendant had told her that he fears she must undergo amputation. Captain Black, who was present during the investigation, described M`Gill as one of the mildest of men, except when lie had been drinking. He said he had, when at Dublin about four months since, thrown him self into the Liffey, and, being a Catholic, had been to his priest, and promised not to drink again. He was fined 51., which his master paid for him ; and the magistrate ordered two sovereigns to be given to the poor woman Scud:field. THE QUEEN V. CLINTON.—At judges' chambers on Monday, Mr. Justice Platt, having gone over the facts of this case, said that it appeared to him very doubtful whether under the treaty a merchant committing forgery of a bill of exchange in the United States with the intention of providing for it at maturity, and corning over here nnitno revertendi, and, therefore, not a fagi. tive from justice, could be taken and given up to the American go'vernment. Being fugitive," meant being so at the time when the law was to be put in force. If so, then it would appeared that the word " committed" meant committed after the treaty. It seemed to him, therefore, that he could only order that this man be discharged.—The prisoner was accordingly dis charged. u n l oci‘ —___:.-----------___!--' e el: a ~..-1 to SINGULAR " Fix."—One day las t we be eato n . w ee ,, was temporarily placed in a yard in Maidstone, .th ~., there "„„g - b which was closed by a large boarded gate, in w"'''' r ush tht".,,. wicket.

CORN EXCHANGE.-WEDNESDAY The continuance of fine weather, and the larSe quantity of English Wheat on sale has produced considerable heaviness in the demand for that description of Grain, and prices ruled somewhat lower for the middling and inferior kinds. Very little Foreign Wheat was on offer; nevertheless, the trade with it was dull, at barely late rates. Holders of bonded Grain were firm, but the amount of business doing was trifling. Barley and Malt sold freely, at very full prices. The supply of Oats being small, the Oat trade was active, at fully Mon day's advanced quotations. Beans and Peas were quite as dear.

CRIMINAL COURT..-(THIS DAY OLD COURT. The second edition of the calendar exhibits an increase of 24 prisoners, the majority of them being larceny cases. (Before the I,ORD CHIEF BARON and Mr. justice Coutatoatt Jean Deemer, a foreigner, was indictcd for feloniously forging and uttering a promissory note for the payment of 5,000 francs, with intent to defraud Michael Scott and another. Mr. Dimple said that the prisoner's trial had been, at the request of the prosecutor, put off for the last four sessions, he alleging that a material witness was absent in France. He understood that his Learned Friend, Mr. Clarkson, was not now instructed to prosecute, and under those circumstances he should crave a ver dict of acquittal. Mr. CLAULSON said he had had no instructions on the subject. The jury, by the instructions of the Lord Chief Baron, dis charged the prisoner. George Wm. Reynolds was indicted for having moulds for the purposes of coining, and counterfeit coins in his possessien. Mr. Ellis, with Mr. Bodkin , were for the prosecution, and Mr. Payne for the defence. The facts of the case as they appeared in evidence were these:— in consequence of some information received, Sergeant Tickell of the H division went to the prisoner's house in White Bear.gar. dens, Kingsland- road. The door was opened by the prisoner. Witness, en searching his pockets, found three counterfeit half crowns, and in a room up stairs he found fourteen base shillings, moulds, plaister of Paris, metal, pipkins, and the tither materials for coining. Corroborative evidence was produced. Mr. Pet N¢ addressed the jury. He endeavoured to show that the prisoner was not himself the coiner, the real culprit being a lodger not in custody. The pressure of poverty had induced him to assent to these practices, but further he was not guilty. The Loan CHIEF BARON sumn'ed up, and the jury returned a verdict of Guilty, with a recommendation to mercy, as it was his first offence. Sentence—lmprisonment for twelve months, with hard labour. Wiliam Bassett was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding Thomas Barrett. Mr. Doane appeared to prosecute, and Mr. Clarkson was en. gaged for the defence. It appeared that, on the 7th October, the prisoner, a wharfinger on Uxbridge-moor, came up to the prz.secutor's fence, and said, " Nobby Barrett, I've got a knife for you—l'll cut your throat." He then struck a blow upon the prosecutor's face with some instru ment, and inflicted a severe wound upon his brow and nose. The blood flowed from it, and he was some time after under the sur geon's hands. The prosecutor's wife, and the chemist who dressed the wound, were examined in corroboration. Mr. CLA R KSON for the defence, described the whole as a drunken squabble, and contended that the charge of felony must fall to the ground. Mr. Jr.stice COLERIDGR summed up, and ____ The jury found the prisoner Guilty of the common assault. The prisoner was sentenced to two months' imprisonment, with hard labour. NEW COURT. (Before the CommON SERGEANT.) Matilda Palmer was accused and convicted of taking a diamond, a ruby, and some money, off the person of Thomas Gardiner. The prisoner accosted Gardiner in Old Kent-road, and put her arms about his middle. Witness felt her hand in his pocket, and seized her as she was about to make off, when she left her shawl in his hands.—Sentenced to nine months' imprisonment and hard labour.
