CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.—DRY GAS METERS. DEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully stood the test of six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use, they have been adopted by the official authorities of the Houses of Parliament, Woolwich. Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office, Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other Clah-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of gas have passed through some of these meters without regula tion or repair, awl which are still working to the entire satisfaction of the gas company and consumers. All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry Meter, and to 'observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his meters.

In consequence of the enormous quantity of spurious trash now imported under the name of Tea, there never was a period when the public required, with a view to both Health and Economy, to be more careful in the selection of this important article, and more upon their guard against advertisers at extremely low prices. From their long experience in all branches of the Tea and Coffee trade, the extensiveness of their transactions, and the arrangements they have made for securing the choicest growths of Teas and Coffees the world produces, the Company feel confident that nothing is wanting, but a trial of their pretensions, to ensure them that patronage it will be their constant aim and highest ambition to merit. The Company invite attention to their EXPLANATORY PAMPHLET, containing a full description of all the various sorts of Teas and Coffees imported, and sold by the Company, with prices, &c., which will be sent Post Free, on being applied for ; but the fol lowing are confidently recommended. s. d. s. d 3 4 3 8 PIANO (February) contai ns th e a d m i re d Fr HE CHIMES QUADRILLES, the only set as danced at Al muck's ; also the Distin Family Waltzes, as played before her Ma jesty—The favourite Cracoviak. and Cachouca Polkas—The popular Railroad Galope—A beautiful : Original Song, " How vain is each effort of mine to forget thee," by J.

To such, among others, this Essay addresses itself; and by its perusal many questions may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even to the most confidential Mend."—Stafford Gazette. "Long experience in the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove that there are concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere routine practitioner would never dream of finding them ; traceable to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and fatal springs of domestic misery, and premature mortality."—Waketield Journal.

FIRE IN THE WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE• ROAD.- About a quarter before two on Wednesday morning a very alarming fire broke out on the premises occupied by Mr. Thomas Wright, boek seller and stationer, No. 42, Westminster-bridge-road, near the Orphan Asylum. The flames were first perceived by a policeman, who while pursuing his beat observed a bright reflection through the fanlight over the shop door. An alarm was instantly given, and after the lapse of some minutes, during which the fire made rapid progress about the lower part of the premises, the only person sleeping in the house was aroused, and in a state of comparative nudity, with considerable difficulty effected his escape Into the street. The engines were sent fur on the first alarm being given, and two being stationed in the Waterloo-road, a very short time elapsed before they were on the spot. There was, however, as usual on the Surrey side of the bridges, a lamentable delay in the supply of water, and great fears were entertained that the fire would extend its ravqges to the adjoining houses. By the very excellent management of the firemen, when enabled to work, this calamity was happily prevented, and, indeed, the upper portion of the premises was also saved from destruction. The whole of the stock and furniture in the lower floors Was entirely destroyed. The origin of the fire could not be ascer tained, but it was supposed to have originated in the shop, probably from an escape of gas. Police-constable Stratford, 50 L, at the imminent risk of his life, when the door was opened by the party who escaped, rushed up stairs, and searched each room, with a view to extricate any person that might have been sleeping therein. The poor fellow on his return to the street was much exhausted, and his intrepid conduct was rewarded by the cheers of the assembled crowd. CHEESE AND BREAD SELLERS.—" How can you think of coming to set up in opposition to me in the same street? I have been here alone thirty years ; nobody has opposed me ; and, I assure you, it has been as much as ever I could do to get a living. I think such as I ought to be protected." " My answer to you is this, that when prices are reduced, and good articles sold, people will be attracted to the street, instead of being driven elsewhere, and there will be plenty to do for us both. Your articles have been dear, your shop dirty, and your customers uncivilly treated. Your not having made money has arisen chiefly from want of opposition. You will see, when 1 start, the people will be better used, and we shall both do better than you have done with all the street to yourself."—Not a bad illustration of agricultural protection and freedom.—The Struggle. THE POOR MAN'S " FRIENDS.”—The present Go yernment.would fain have the public to believe that they have a consideration for the poor. Let us see. They refuse them cheap food by keeping on the wicked corn-h•vrs ; they have considerably reduced the interest in the poor man's bank, the savings' bank, and now are concocting one of the most cruel poor-laws that was ever invented. And these are the men who would have the public to believe that they are " friend*" of the poor.---Prom a Correspondent. There is no occasion to follow Mr. Duncombe 'over all the ground which he retraced with so much industry and ability on Tuesday night. On the abstract question there can hardly be a doubt. Go vernment transmits our letters, and affords us one uniform and uni versal system, on the express condition that we do not employ against it, and against peace and order generally, one of its own chief organs. Every man who drops a letter into the village letter-box does so on the understanding that he is not dropping poison into the system. - Such an understanding must be further secured by a com petent right of inspection. It is the responsibility and authority of the State to provide, as far as possible, that no manner of harm shall accrue to the common weal. A man's letters are his own property, just as his house is his castle; but the investigation, and even the pre vention, of crime must pitsS the threshold, and must break the seal: Only these exceptional powers ought to be most tenderly handled. The man who brings lightning from the skies must remember that life and death depend on the insulation of his fingers from the wire which they grasp. Not less is the terrible caution necessary for those who are dealing with warrants to search men's persons, houses, and let ters. For mere simplicity's sake, we will confine ourselves to one single point in Mr. Duncombe's speech. There is no occasion for more. His own words will always best express his own meaning : " I come now to the last charge. I stated that my correspondence had been violated and my letters opened. Now, upon this the Com mittee are perfectly silent. I, in my place, stated this in the first in stance. I had only been informed that my letters going to the Albany had been detained for the purpose of opening. One gentleman said, ' You cannot suppose this?' I said, 'lt is very odd.' He re- • plied, ' They could not be s o mean and shabby.' But though the Committee is silent upon it, I now will prove that my letters were ordered to be detained and inspected, and opened on the authority of the Right Hon. Baronet. Now, I must say that I feel degraded in admitting this : I think it is a degradation for any Member of the House of Commons to know and feel that he is a worthy object of suspicion to warrant the Secretary of State far the Home Department to insult him and to open his letters. I cannot Conceive a greater personal insult; or a greater insult to the constituency a man repre sents—a constituency large, enlightened, and numerous ; the repre sentative, not the nominee of a rotten borough. It becomes, therefore, not only an insult to me, but a gross insult to the constituency I have the honour to represent. I will go further : if my eorre s2oulence is not to be free, I ant not a lit representative. And. to tfie name of that constituency I call on the Right Hon. Baronet again to justify, if he can, the opening of my letters. I know not what story he may have "trumped up to this Committee of the Commons, or that Committee of the Lords, but I say he owes it to me, to this House, and he owes it to tn 3 constituents to tell you, and to tell them, the justification upon which he ordered my letters i t un o og b e. said,o pI asked d kl e d . m uh l sunt as k edkaknow o. wi h i n in .:. lf ai o before, ns askingdi ta h tenit questiona talked e d I ab o hardly whichu tm i y tb wireasagnui not consistent with his duty to answer: Then, how stands that question between me and the Right Hon. Baronet? If a Member in his place asks the Bight lion. Baronet whether, in the exercise of his fhnctions, he has opened that Member's letters, and he finds that that Secretary of State, while he has had the meanness—aye, the baseness, to conceal his act, has not had the courage to avow it." Now, it does not require a moment's consideration to see that such a charge, not against any one public officer, but against some part or other of the Executive, cannot be suffered to remain unexplained ; a man might as well think to hobble on with a broken limb. The wound must either be healed or fester. Mr. Buncombe may have behaved very cavalierly, or the Committee of last session very out rageously or very stupidly. Those are minor questions. The fact at present is, that a Member of Parliament charges the Executive with what a civilised country considers almost the greatest of violences and dishonesties. We cannot see Why Mr. • Buncombe should not have what he demands—a Committee, through which, if not in which, he may ask the questions he wishes. He declares himself able and anxious to produce certain important evidence. Opportunity is the ruin of false pretenders. If it is wished to put this gentleman hors de combat for the session, at least clear a space, and let hint have room to realise his boast. But it is ridiculous to say the Committee of last year was cal culated either to verify or to convict his statements. Sir James boasts that it contained a majority of his political opponents. Who are Sir James's political opponents ? Who are his friends? The so cial relations by which he is best known to the political world cannot be expressed in the terms of friendship, whether positive or negative. If we try to divide the Committee according to [his imaginary rule, we find it hard to say which is which. Who are the conventional friends, who the real friends ? Even after acquiescing in Sir James's reckoning, four on his own side, and five on Mr. buncombe's, one finds oneself involuntarily cross-dividing and analyzing afresh. Sir James lavishes his praises on his Committee. Of course he is bound to praise them, fbr he selected them. He is praising his own work, and a man loves his own work, because, as an ancient philsopher tells us, "it is part of a man's own self." They are not above his praise, for they are certainly not the most eminent and able of their parties. If we had the choice of a committee, how ever, we should not be governed in our selection entirely by party politics. Sir James's experience of public life has taught him long before this that facility of character and private understandings, not to say obligations, are far more to the purpose than mere party dif ferences. But friends, or not friends, the Committee could only judge according to the evidence ; and they would not allow Mr. bun combe's own private wrong to come fairly before them. The charge having been made, and the opportunity of explanation thus far de nied, we are bound, in justice to Mr. buncombe, to the Legislature of which he is a Member, and the constituency which he represents, to believe that his letters have been delayed and opened. Let us take the supposition most favourable for the Home-Wince. Let us suppose that Mr. buncombe, with the usual instinct of an injured man, uti able to detect the author of the blow, seeks to vent his wrath on the moat prominent of the adverse crowd, and pass the blow on to somebody, if not exactly to the right quarter. A certain phantasia of" Mas-ter James " Gra-ham" peep ing into his neighbour's letters has possessed Mr. Duncombe's mind, and with the knowledge that his own letters have been hocussed, he joins the two ideas together—the person and the thing. One is dis posed to put the liorne-oince out of the question, because really the Hon. Member for Finsbury is not a person to excite much political trepidation. He is rather too above-board for that. Eminent in his own line, great at a Reform banquet, powerful on the hustings, and not inconsiderable in Parliament, lie is not the man to devote his days to agitation, and his nights to conspiracy. However he may deal with the constitution of his country, he will never undermine it. At least, if our social fabric is so frail as to fear for any communica tions that gentleman is likely to transmit through the penny-post, we can only say it is hardly worth preserv ing. If, however, so extraordinary a selection has been made—if Mr. Buncombe has been elevated into the Guy Fawkes of Conservatism—it is due to all parties, and especially to the gossipping public, that a full disclosure should be made. Shocking as it would be to discover a few score of his letters transcribed into the national records, it would still be rather entertaining. By all means, insist then, on a committee of inquiry. What if Mr. Buncombe had all this time gone rather more deeply into it than peOple gave him credit for? For example, suppose we should find a letter promising a large contribution in men and money to the Chartists ? Perhaps a hand some remittance in cash, which, under the circumstances, we think the Home Secretary would almost be justified in diverting to the public service. Has any one of the minor officials, of whom Sir J. Graham speaks so highly, made a good hit on the turf lately ? Possibly the circumstance may be explained by the discovery of a pri vate letter to Mr. buncombe, containing the state of the odds at Newmarket. Has a lady's billet been left unanswered ? Let her com plain of the Home Secretary. Have Mr. Duncombe's tradesmen been surprised to find their mementos unacknowledged? What if we should stumble on their bills, and "bills delivered," duly filed at the Home-office ? If the gentlemen there would not only open, but settle the accounts, it would be some atonement for the wrong. That is a price, however, which not even official curiosity will be ready to pay. But whatever the subject-matter of a correspondence—whether an invitation to a massacre or a dinner—whether an order for muskets or dress boots—people generally prefer to keep ikto themselves. They are no better pleased to find their seals broken titan their windows. A tell-tale correspondence is as bad as a leaky water-pipe, or a drain which unpleasantly reveals itself. Mr. Dunc,ombe hinds that so m e body is in possession of his secrets, worthless to everybody, perhaps, but himself, but still no longer ,his secrets if only the post man possesses them. He goes to head-quarters in quest of the stolen property. The Premier knows too well the misery of unfinished work, and the inefficacy of half measures,_to refuse Mr. Duncombe's suit. The Committee of last year made a show of research ;it began with Edward 11., and quoted abundance of Latin, old Norman, and Italian documents ; but it just stopped short of Mr. Buncombe's last c harge, expressed in plain modern English, and read by every man in the nation. This one omission was fatal. It was like amputating a limb, and just neglecting the one thing wanting to complete the pro cess—the tying up of the artery. Quashed this session, the squabble goes on to the next. Set it at rest. Give Mr. Buncombe full play, and he will either do for himself or Sir James Graham.—Times. COURT CIRCULAR.

Mumford, corn-merchants, was proceeding from the Surrey to the Middlesex side of Waterloo-bridge, a man in attendance on it very foolishly rested himself on the shaft, and from some cause unknown he fell into the road. A cry was raised to stop the horses, but before that could be accomplished, the fore-wheel had pas se d over both the poor fellow's thighs. He was soon raised from the ground by some per sons passing ; but, after uttering two or three groans, he expired. FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT.-011 Tuesday morn ing, William Hannaby, a lad about eleven years of age, employed at one of Mr. Sparrow's collieries, near Longton, was in the act of bringing an empty corfe to the mouth of the pit, for the purpose of it 4 being lowered into the mine, when he pushed it too far, and un fortunately fell with the corfe down the shaft, which is 90 yards in depth.

THE BUDGET. The Sun newspaper of Friday, with a prodigious and most triumphant exertion, has contrived to give ten columns of the Parliamentary debates of the same even iny ! Such an exhibition of skill and enterprise reflects high honour on the London press, .and should not pass unnoticed by those who appreciate in a right spirit the amazing effects of art and zeal and emulation i n th e n i ne t ee nth century. Amongst the miracles of art or science, none are more strikingly characteristic of the age, or more important in their r esults , than those con nected with the Press. —Jersey T i mes. We feel indebted to the conductors of 77ze Sun news paper for a copy of the evening edition of that journal of Friday, containing more than nine columns of the par liamentary proceedings of the same evening ! This is extraordinary dispatch indeed.—Mayo Cana:futon. On Saturday we received, by the Sabrina, Captain Parker. the London journals of the preceeding day, 20 hours before the ordinary course of delivery. Last evening, through the exertions of our enterprising agents, Messrs. Johnston and Co., of Dublin, we re ceived, by extraordinary express, The Sun of Friday, con taining a full report of Sir Robert Peel's speech. It ar rived in twenty and a half hours.—Cork Examiner. THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT.—We were enabled to publish, in the entire of our town edition, on Saturday, a very full outline of Sir Robert Peel's Financial State went on the previous evening. It was copied from The Sun, which had been expressed by Mr. Johnston, of Eden-quay.—Dublin Evening Post. SPIRITS.—The accounts that were ordered by the House of Commons, on Monday night, to be forthwith prepared, on motion of Mr. Frederick Hodgson, were accounts of the total number of gallons of proof spirits distilled in England, Scotland, and Ireland respectively ; distinguishing the quantities produced from malt and unmalted grain, or from any other ingredient ; showing also the total quantity of each sort, in the United Kingdom, for the year ending the sth day of January, 1845. Secondly—An account of the number of gallons of proof spirits, distinguishing the sorts, on which duty was paid for home consumption in each of the three kingdoms, with the rate per gallon, and the amount of such duty ; also, the total number of gallons and duty in the United Kingdom, for the year ending Jan. 5, 1845. Thirdly—An account, showing, under separate heads, the number of gallons of proof spirits (distinguishing the materials from which made) imported into each kingdom from each of the others respectively, and including, in the cases of England and Scotland, those conveyed either by land or by sea ; stating also the rate of duty per gallon, and the total amount thereof in each case, and what por tion of such duty was paid on removal of the spirits ftom bond, and what after their arrival at the place of destination, for the year end ing January 5, 1845. Fourthly—An account of the total number of gallons of proof spirits permitted out from distillers' stocks in Eng land, and the total number of gallons proof of British brandy and spirits of wine permitted out from rectifiers' stocks in England, for the year ending the sth day of January, 1845 ; also the stocks re maining in the hands of English distillers on. the sth day of January, 1845. These several accounts are intended as continuations of those ordered and prepared in the last session of Parliament. BONE CRUSHING. —lt appears that in certain unions the paupers—compelled by the local board—crush bones. Sir James Graham objects to the practice; Lord Ebrington defends it; Wakley, with indignation, denounces it. Now, we have muchad miration of Mr. Wakley. He gives to things their proper names. He calls a rogue a rogue, and a fool a fool ; we like his out-speaking (whatever Mr. Roebuck, that bit of blighted notoriety, may think of it). Nevertheless we cannot side with Mr. Wakley in this matter of bones. We think their is a fitness of purpose—a felicity of idea—in compelling paupers to crush bones. Their bones are crushed, and wherefore should they not crush the bones of other things ?—Punch. MEETING OF THE LIVERPOOL WEST INDIA ASSO CIATION.—This body met to-day, upon the subject of the forthcoming reduction of the duties upon sugar ; and it was anticipated by some of the parties present at the meeting, especially those connected with the refining trade, that they could be induced to petition Parliament in favoer of a reduction of the duty upon molasses to 3s. per cwt. A great disinclination, however, appeared to be entertained to interfere with the Government measures, which are looked upon as most favourable to the West Indian Planters, lest anything of an obnoxious character should creep into the mind of the Premier. Otherwise, the West Indian party have no objection to such a reduction of colonial molasses.—Manchester Guardian. INFLUENZA AMONGST HORSES.—An epidemic has been for the last two weeks very prevalent amongst horses. The leading -symptoms of the disorder arc swelling and inflammation of the throat, discharge from the mucous membrane of the nose, and lassitude and want of -strength. Messrs. Piekford, the celebrated carriers, have upwards of one hundred horses now suffering from this complaint ; and it is very prevalent a n d f a t a l a mongst dray horses, one brewer at Westminster having lost three out of eighteen that were attacked. The Paddington Omnibus Convey ance Company have been great sufferers, having lost nearly fifty horses within the last month, and had no loss than 105 laid up at one time. THE LORD MAYOR AND THE DISTRESSED NEEDLE ; but wostm—A ball being about to be given for the distressed needle women, Lord Mayor Gibbs was app lied to for the usual permission to exhibit the printed annott neem e. ts in front of the Mansion - house. ans t ion w -h e o d u i se d n w o au t exapet thect a His Lordship refitted the request, and Laster name does not appear as th T e he M one of the e patronsmig ohftthhaeveelipalriactyeii dis we thought he posal of the committee to post a bill upon. Though we did not think be was like l y to give the poor needlewomen bread, we fancied he Was Just the sort of man to have offered them a stone.--Punch, His Excellency Sarim Effendi, the Turkish Ambassador, arrived at MarseilleS; on his way to London, with a suite of fifteen persons, on the 12th, and occupied apartments which had been prepared for him at the Hotel d'Orient. The Helvetic says that the missionary societies of Geneva, Lausanne, and Neufchatel have addressed petitions to the President of the French Council of Ministers on the disas trous position of Protestantism in the island of Otaheite, in consequence of the French occupation of the island. The Tiofistant societies of German- SwiUerland, and a large part of Germany itself, have followed the example of these societies. The Revue de Paris announces that Count Mole bad been slightly indisposed during several days. On Monday the King sent to inquire after the health of the Count, who was sufficiently recovered to open his salons to his friends on Tuesday night. The sudden variations of temperature at Paris during some days past have exercised a most unfavourable influence over the health of the inhabitants. The hospitals were never before known to be so full. On Sunday morning a man was found frozen to death on the road between Paris and St. Denis. He was known to have been somewhat overcome with liquor in the evening, and probably had fallen or laid himself d own to s l eep. His body was as stiff as if it were made of wood. The Spectateur de Dijon states that, on the 6th, a pheno menon took place at Flavigny, such as has not been seen since the famous Christmas night twenty-four years back. The thunder was heard to roll loudly, and flashes of light ning were seen, in the midst of a heavy fall of snow. The Abbe Souchet was tried by the Court of Assizes of Caen on the 15th, on a charge of having, in a pamphlet, en titled " Advertissement aux Catholiques sur les dangers qui les menacent dans la personne de leurs enfans," sought to excite hatred and contempt in the public mind against a cer tain class of persons, and, in particular, the members of the University. He was found guilty, and sentenced to fifteen days' imprisonment and 100 f. fine, with confiscation of the pamphlet. The Minister of the Interior has decided that, in future, no stage performances by companies of children shall be per mitted either in Paris or the departments. The Gazette de Tribunaux states that this decision has been caused chiefly by the disclosures of an infamous nature, which took place in a recent prosecution relative to one of the theatres of juve nile performers in Paris. 31.AliV AND POSZON. The Spring Assizes for the Northern Division of Lanca shire commenced on Monday, at Lancaster. Their Lordships sat at half-past eleven o'clock, Mr. Justice Wightman on the civil side, and Mr. Justice Coltman on the criminal. The calendar contains the names of but twelve prisoners, of whom one stands charged with murder. The other cases are of the ordinary kind. On the civil side there are but four causes entered. An action brought by Mr. William John O'Connell, the London " bead repeal warden," against the proprietors of the Warder newspaper, commenced in the Dublin Court of Ex chequer on Monday, and terminated on Tuesday morning. The plaintiff sought to recover 1,0,.01. damages for the publi cation by the defendants of a certain paragraph, copied from a London morning paper, reflecting, it was alleged, upon the private character of Me, O'Connell. The jury found a ver dict for the defendants. The case of Ward v. Squires, an action for seduction, was tried in the Court of Common Pleas, in the City. The jury found tor the plaintiff, with 401. damages. A case interesting to the sporting world was tried in the Court of Queen's Bench—it was that of Williams v. Went worth. The action arose out of the famous Ruaning Rein affair. The plaintiff had drawn that horse at a Derby sweep held at the Hero of Waterloo, Waterloo-road, and he had originally brought his action against the landlord, Mr. Okey, for 200/., which was the amount that was to go to the person who drew the " first horse." But Mr. Wentworth, who had drawn Orlando at the same sweep, was made, by a judge's order, to be the, defendant instead of Mr. Okey. It was contended, on the part of the defendant, that the horse which was declared the winner (viz., Orlando) must be considered the "first horse." The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. Mr. Charle , , Mathews, the actor, made another appear ance in the Bankruptcy Court before Mr. Commissioner Shepherd. Various proofs of debts were offered, and the case was adjourned for the purpose of enabling Messrs. Levi to perfect the proofs for a claim of 5001. It was for money lent at the rate of 60 per cent. interest. At Clerkenwell, Mr. Samuel Stoke, who described himself as a gentleman of independent property, residing at Whet stone, Hertfordshire, was charged with having indecently as saulted John Thornton, a toll-collector, at Holloway-gate. The prisoner was committed for trial, with privilege to find bail, himself in 200 L, and two sureties in 100/. each. Several watermen were fined at the Thames Police-ceurt for various offences against the provisions of the Waterman's Act. COURT-FASHIONABLE. Viscount Melbourne entertained Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston, the Earl of Clarendon, the Dowager Lady Hol land, Sir Denis Le Marchant, and a select party, at dinner, on Tuesday last, at his Lordship's residence in South-street. Information was last weak conveyed to Manchester House that the Duke of Manchester had delayed, until next month, his proposed departure from Paris for this capi tal. Every preparation necessary for his reception had been made at the French embassy. . . The Marchioness of Lansdowne has been labouring under the effects of a severe cold, but is now nearly recovered. The Earl of Yarborough has left town on his return to Brocklesby, Lincolnshire. Earl and Countess Cowper came to town onWednesday from Pansauger, their seat near Hertford. His Excellency the Russian Minister and Baroness Brun now gave an elegant entertainment, on Wednesday, at Ash burnham House, to a distinguished circle. Among the guests were—his Excellency the French Ambassador and Countess de St. Aulaire, the Earl and Countess of Haddington, the Lord Chancellor and Lady Lyndhurst and the Hon. Miss Copley, Lord Broughham, Viscount Mahon, Count and Countess d'Harcourt, Lady Peel, M. de Berg, M. Longanoff, Viscount Cantilupe, &c. The Marchioness of Ailsa is suffering from severe indis position at St. Margaret's, Isleworth. Her Ladyship has partially lost the use of her limbs. In consequence of the Marchioness's illness the family do not contemplate coming to town this season. The Countess of Clarendon is going on as well as can be expected, after her recent indisposition. The Earl of Granville has been slightly indisposed at Brighton, but is now considered much better. The Earl of Ripon is progressing towards convalescence, but is still prevented by indisposition from attending to his official duties. The Duke of Wellington called personally, yesterday, at his Lordship's residence on Carlton-house terrace, to inquire after the Earl's health. MISCELLANEOUS. Mr. Warburton, President of the Geological Society, gave his second entertainment on Wednesday to a numerous circle of his scientific friends. A supplement to the Gazette published on Wednesday con tains an account, pursuant to the 7th of Vic., c. 32, of the names and addresses of the persons who compose the partnerships of the Union Bank of London, of the London and County Banking Company, of the London and Dublin Bank, and of the Commercial Bank of London, together with the names of the places where these banks carry on their business. The City of Dublin and the British and Irish Steam Packet Companies have resolved on constructing, for the trade be tween Dublin and London, a superior class of iron sailing vessels, provided with subsidiary power on the principle of the screw propeller. . . This resolution has been tbrmed to suit the greatly increased demand of exporters and importers in those cities, and at the towns on the English coast usually touched at by vessels making the voyage from Dublin to London. The general Court of Governors of King's College Hospital was held in the Board-room, on Wednesday, to receive the report of the Managing Committee, and for the trans action of other business. Mr. W. Fergusson was called to the chair. The receipts for the past year, ending December 31, were 4,011/. 7s. 5d., and the expen diture, 4,1361, 7s. kld. Although the receipts of the past year exceeded by nearly 4001. those of 1843, the Committee regretted that, for the first time they had been unable to meet the yearly liabilities from their own resources. Up wards of 50,000 persons have been relieved since the esta blishment of the Hospital. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have com menced the erection of another monster chimney in Wool wich dockyard, for the purpose of a steam saw-mill.

PONTOP AND SOUTH SHIELDS RAILWAY COMPANY. The usual half-yearly general meeting of the Shareholders in the Pontop and South Shields Railway was held yesterday, in Guildhall-buildings, Mr. Robert Stephenson, Chairman of the Board of Directors, in the chair. The report stated that, notwithstanding the interruption. of the general trade upon this line, for the space of four months in the past year, arising from the strike of the pitmen, the result of the year's traffic had proved to be fully equal to that of 1843, and the Directors were much gratified in finding that the anticipations which they entertained at the last half-yearly meeting had been realised. The receipts for the half-year, to the 31st December last, were 34,1581: I Is. 10d., and the expenditure for the same period was 22,401/. 16s. 4d., leaving a balance of 11,756/. 15s. 6d., which sum was chargeable with an interest upon the Mort gage and Loan Debt, amounting to 5,290/. 17s. 3d., le,aving a balance applicable to a dividend of 6,465/. 18s. 3d. The Di rectors of the Durham Junction Company had paid over to this Company the sum of 35,3751., and the further sum of 18,000/. was received in Jan. last, being the proportion of the purchase-money of the Durham Junction Railway for the 400 shares held by the late Stanhope and Tyne Com pany in that undertaking, and which formed part of the assets assigned under the provisions of the Act of Incorporation to the Pontop and South Shields Company. It was proposed at once to write up this amount to the credit of the share account of each proprietor of shares in this Cont. pally, at the rate of 81. 10s. for each share. A further por tion of the Debenture Debt of the late Stanhope and Tyne Company had been paid off, amounting to 5,252/. 1 Is. ad. There now remained of the liabilities of that Company the sin of 35,5001. only, of which 14,500/. will be due in June it July this year, and the remainder in the years 1847 and 1849. To meet the payment of the 14,500 L, the Directors proposed making a call of 1/. 10. s. a share, giving credit for 8/. 10s. a share, received of the Durham Junction Company. and requiring payment in cash of 1/. 10s. only per share, which would be amply sufficient to meet the required payment. Arrangements were pending with the Newcastle and Darlington Company, which, when sufficiently matured would be submitted to the Proprietor); and it was hoped that a considerable increase of revenue might be looked for from the complete development of the resources of that line. The remission of the duty on coals for export might also be expected materially to influence that portion of the trade upon the line whiah depended upon foreign supply. The Directors closed their report with congratulating the Proprietors upon the pros perous state of the undertaking, which was now placed on a firm basis, affording a safe and certain return upon the capital invested with every prospect of a considerable increase at no distant period. The report having been received and adopted, a dividend of 30s. per share, being equal to 5/ per cent. per annum upon the paid up capital, was declared, and order.c, to be paid im mediately. Messrs. Grant and Wood were then re-elected Directors, and a vote of thanks to the Chairman having been agreed to, the meeting separated. RAILWAY BUSINESS IN PAR LIAMENT. WEDNESDAY, FEB. 19.

M iscuncr FOR THE MILLION.—In Consequence of the state of the law, alowing a person to walk into the British Museum, and smash the Portland Vase for three pounds, it is poSsible that this sort of amusement may supersede the hitherto aristocratic amusement of breaking windows, and wrenching on door-knockers. A morning's lark in the National Gallery would Um cheap at thirty pounds, if half-a-dozen were to club together Itx the purpose, and the sum would include the privilege of running Walking-sticks into six of the best pictures the collection contains. We presume the law is left in this state for the pur pose of allowing the luxury of mischief to those who are dis posed to pay for it. Three pounds were all that the law demanded for the amusement of breaking the Portland Vase, or rather for breaking the shade, the latter being the only article charged for, awl the vase, being, of course, thrown in gratis. it is net often that the law is so very particular to a shade as it has been in this inst an ce. We should like to know where the three pounds came from that were sent anonymously to pay the fine for the mischievous donkey who smashed the precious article. No doubt, if the money could he traced, it would be found to have been supplied by one of the " vulgar rich," who would be happy to demolish the Elgin marbles at so much a yard, or take the Museum all round upon a reduced scale of penalties.—Punch.
