Now ready, price 25., REPLY to a Pamphlet entitled " INDIA and LORD ELLENBOROUGII." By ZETA. J. 011Ivier, 59, Pall-mall. The CRAIRNIAN then called upon the Secretary to read the report of the Council and the treasurer's financial statement of accounts, of which the follow ing are copies : " The report which the Council have now to submit to their constituents extends over a period of fifteen months, from September 28, 1843, to the 31st December, 1844. " In the address presented at the meeting in Covent • garden Theatre, September 23, 1643, the Council ex plained the course of action it proposed fur the future, and the distinguishing feature of this plan was the de termination to make the movement essentially an elec toral one. " To give effect to the extensive'operations here pro posed, the Council having a full reliance ou the zeal and co-operation of their countrymen, asked for a contribu tion of one hundred thousand pounds, a sum which, whilst it would furnish evidence of the increasing in fluence of free-trade:opinions, would be sufficient to meet the estimated expenditure of the League. " In conformity with this plan, the whole of England and Wales was divided into thirteen electoral districts. To each of these districts a competent agent was ap pointed by the Council, whose duty it was personally and repeatedly to visit each borough in his district, to pro mote and superintend the formation of local registra tion committees, and to give advice and render assistance in all matters relating to the registration, and, wherever practicable, to secure the appointment of an active local agent, having a knowledge of the law and practice of the revision courts. It was also his duty to make perio dical returns of the state of each constituency, and of the means available for increasing the strength of the : . rec-traders on the register. " Under this arrangement 160 borough 3 in England and Wales have been: visited during the past year. The Council have obtained a mass of information which will enable them to direct their future efforts with greater efficiency, while the returns already in their possession show an undoubted gain in 112 of the boroughs thus acted upon, and in many of these the improvement on the reaister i 3 such as to ensure the return of free• traders in the place of monopolists, in the event of an election. " Simultaneously with these electoral movements, the communications between the Council of the League and every portion of the kingdom have, by means of corres pondence and deputations, been not only maintained, but greatly increased during the past year. Moro than 200 meetings, attended by a deputation from the Coun cil, have been held in England and Scotland since Octo ber, 1843. Of these meetings, more than 150 have been held in Parliamentary boroughs, and the increased num bers by which they have been in all cases attended, and the zeal and enthusiasm manifested, prove the extent arid the depth of the public conviction in favour of free trade. Besides these, the great meetings held in Covent garden Theatre, London, and in the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, show that the question has lost none of its hold on the public mind in the metropolis, or in this town, the birthplace of the League. " The lecturers of the League have visited and lec tured in 36 out of 40 counties of England, and in nearly all the Welsh counties. The demand for this mode of instruction has been much greater than the Council have been able to supply, the desire for lecturers having been especially maniftsted in the agricultural districts. " More than 2,000,000 of stamped and other publica tions have been distributed. In addition to these, there has been an average weekly publication of 20,000 copies of the League paper, 15,000 to subscribers to the League Fund, besides a sale of 5,000 copies weekly, amounting in 67 weeks to 1,340,000 copies, making the total distri bution of publications nearly 3} millions. " The correspondence, since the last report, has more than doubled, the number of letters received at the League offices in London and Manchester, being about 25,600, while the numbers di s p a t c hed from the two offices have been about 300,000. " Until recently, with the exception of Lancashire and Middlesex, the Council had not directed their attention to the county registration. In South Lancashire, having the data furnished by the late contested election, they proceeded at once to a thorough examination of the re gister, and the result of the last registration in this divi sion of the county was a gain of 1,750 votes to the free traders. In North Lancashire there was a gain of more than 500 votes, and in Middlesex an accession of strength was also secured.

SUPPOSED SUICIDE IN THE TIIAMES.—On Wednes day Mr. Carter held an inquest at the York Arms, Waterloo-bridge-road, on the body of George Gregory, aged twenty, son of a widow keeping a greengrocer's shop at 119, L ower - mars h, L am b e th. 'The evidence takcn by the coroner proved that deceased was of weak mind and so passionate, if jeered at or reprehended for his conduct, that he was dangerous to himself and others. Indeed, six months since, he had nearly drowned in a water-butt a female relative who scolded him. In November and December last his mother, the only per son that could govern him, became bed-ridden, and then he gave himself up to intemperance, which increased the natural defects of his temper. On the 18th ult., having come home tipsy, a younger sister reprimanded him. lie struck her and then ran out of the house. In the even ing he was seen weeping in the New-cut, and, in reply to an acquaintance, said he had been " kicked and cuffed at home, would return there no more, but go and drown himself." Having said this, he ran off like a madman, and was seen no wore Alive. Verdict, " Found drowned." "Hitherto the county registration has been almost en tirely neglected by the commercial, trading, and indus trious classes, and the Council resolved to invite their friends everywhere to acquire that political influence to which they are so justly entitled, by taking up their en franchisement for the counties. The appeal has been received and acted upon with a promptitude and en en thusiasm surpassing their most sanguine expectations. The Council have reason to believe that, within the last three months, a sufficient number of persons have pur chased freehold qualifications in North Cheshire, South Lancashire, and the West Riding of York, to secure to those important constituences a free-trade majority ; whilst a large addition to our ranks has been made in Middlesex, North Lancashire, and several other populous counties. "'The Council view this as but the encouragin: com mencement of a movement to which they will devote their primary attention during the ensuing year. The Government of this country is at present in the hands of a class, solely through the instrumentality of the Chan dos clause, which places the county representation at the mercy of the landlords, through the votes of less than 200,000 tenants-at-will in England and Wales. From calculations carefully made, the Council are convinced that it will be practicable, in a short time, to induce such a number of the friends of free trade to purchase freehold qualifications, as will neutralise those dependent voters at the poll, and give to the intelligent middle and industrious classes their due influence in the Government of this commercial country. " The Council have now entered upon the seventh year of their labours. Of the past they can speak with satisfaction. They have seen public opinion gradually, but surely becoming more and more settled in favour of free trade ; the public pres s, the or g an of that opinion , uniting more earnestly and cordiall y with th e exertions o m f o t s h i e n moving League slowly ; it the may C be, abin but tch still ose movingmonopolists, on in the direction of free trade ; whi lst, throu g h out the manu facturing districts, the return of active and prosperous commerce has not only done nothing to abate the enthu siasm and determination of their friends, but has given them enlarged means of advancing the object they have so greatly at heart. "The League is emphatically the representation of the classes that live by industry ; it is an embodiment of the spirit and energy of trade which is struggling to be free; it seeks no private, no partial good, but the true and permanent interests of the whole people ; hitherto it has received a degree of support unknown to any other or ganisation in this country ; it has sought, by a faithful discharge of its duties, to deserve the confidence reposed in it : its success is to be seen wherever the opinion of the people is freely manifested, and its complete and not distant triumph is as certain as its determination is firm and its principles are impregnable.

When they first launched the address in which they asked from the country a con tribution of 100,000/., they had it in contemplation to raise a large portion of that amount by a bazaar, to be held in Covent-garden Theatre, but that bazaar had not yet been held.—(Hear.) The amount re ceived, therefore, was quite as much as they had an ticipated. They proposed still to hold the bazaar, and he had no doubt the amount then received would carry them far beyond the sum originally expected. —(Loud cheers.) EDWARD BAINES, Esq., jun., Leeds, then moved— " That the report of the proceedings of the General Council of the League, which has now been read, be adopted and confirmed by the meeting." LAWRENCE HEYWORTII,: Esq., of Liverpool, se• conded the resolution, which was carried with loud cheering. T. M. GIBSON, Esq., M.P., then came forward, and was received with great cheering. He said it had happened to him several times, within perhaps he might say a recent period, to be asked in a sneering way by gentlemen in the south of England how the Anti-Corn-law League was getting on.—(Hear, hear.) There was a way of asking a question which beyond the mere words conveyed a very clear mean ing. The meaning of that question was, the idea, the fond notion, that had been invented in the south of England, that the League was retrograding. and some even had gone the length of saying that the League was extinct—(Hear, hear, and laughter)— nay, more, rumour had said that a subscription was even entered into to give a very large testimonial to a writer who was supposed to have been instrumental in bringing about a dissolution of the Anti-Corn-law League.—(Renewed laughter.) lie wished some of his southern friends could have been present at this great assemblage—(Loud cheers)—he thought when they heard of the large sums which had been sub scribed by the people of this country in support ofthe League, and the large balance of something like 27,000/. which Row remained on hand to carry on the agitation—(Loud cheers) —that they would feel assured that the Anti-Corn-law League had escaped all the dangers of infancy, and was now established in mature and robust manhood, and that it would live until it had accomplished the object for which it was brought into existence.—(Loud cheering) It had been predicted that the League could not live, because repeal of the corn -l aw was only a political cry. But it was no " cry."—(Hear, hear.) A cry was a different thing; it meant the watchword of a party, without any real intention of carrying the object into effect.—(Hear, hear.) It was a " cry" to talk of " our young Queen, and our old Constitution— (Laughter)—and " the wooden walls of old Eng land."—(Cheers.) These were political cries. But the distinction between the watchword or word of union of this great Association and those political cries was this, that the one was real, and the other was merely used as a means of binding men together in a sort of livery, which was known by the cry, as it were, which they uttered, though there was no real intention of carrying any political movement into effect.—(Cheers.) But this was not so in the Anti- Corn-law League. Politicians were beginning to find that something was really meant, and that this cry of free trade was not meant merely to bring po litical partisans into power, but was intended to place in the hands of the great body of the middle and working classes their full rights, which consisted in having the free use of their power, and the full enjoyment of the fruits of their industry.—(Cheers.) The reason they were wrong in predicting the fai lure of this movement when times were good was, that they never knew its reality, that they never understood as they ought that it was not a mere im pulse, but was based upon an intelligent conviction. —(Loud cheers.) It was not based upon the mere contingency of whether times were good or bad, hut upon the immutable principles of justice, which would never change.—(Loud cheers.) They had placed before them by the League, a plain, intelli gible, broad, and clear idea, and what was this idea ? That merchants and manufacturers are something in the land, as well as landowners and farmers—(Loud cheers)—that commerce was as lawful and legitimate a pursuit, and as advan tageous to the country, as agriculture.—(Hear.) They now understood that commerce was as much a productive power as agriculture, and that the one produce was as much entitled to the protection of the Legislature as the other.—(Cheers.) They were too well informed upon this subject to render it necessary to argue as to the bearing of this question upon coin merce. But with regard to the farmers :—The farmers were assembling together, and grumblers though they were reputed to be, their grumbling was somewhat more remarkable than usual. And he thought shey had good reason to grumble.—(Hear, hear.) No class of men had been worse treated. It was pretended that the Legislature had the benefit of farmers in view before they repealed the taxes upon land. It was said what a saving the farmer had had by the alteration consequent upon the New Poor-law ; " the poor-rate is much less than it used to be, the poor farmer will get a better return by his occupa tion."—(Hear, hear.) But all that the farmer saved in poor-rates went to rent.—(Cheers.) There never was a greater mistake than to suppose that the Legis lature, when proposing to benefit the farmer, was not really putting more money into the pockets of the landowners.—(Cheers.) The landowner was the object of favour; the farmer was merely held up as a mask to their intentions. Now they had said this in the League all along—it had been constantly , stated that the corn-law was a question of rent — (Hear, hear)—that the corn-law was never in ' tended to compensate the farmer for the different charges pressing upon the land, for all these charges were calculated upon when the farmer took his land, and allowed for in the rent.—(Hear, hear.) As a proof that farmers themselves, compelled by the pressure of the times—having made their con tract for their present rents under the notion that prices would be higher than they now were—were beginning to speak out upon the question, he Would I take the liberty of reading them one or two remarks from the speeches of tenant-farmers, at a meeting ! which took place in Gloucester, and which appeared na.. in the Times newspaper of Tuesday. If the tL n t s at-will dared speak out, there would be at t he present moment a very general cry of indignation on their part at the way in which the i r credulity had been practised upon by the Legis lature, and at the way they had been induced to re,y upon their faithless patrons for protection . 7 (Cheers.) „ The article was headed "The Fariners Difficulties," §et out by ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning Noen, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. remarking that the guests were rather fewer than usual. It said—" The room was as commodious, and the viands as abundant and inviting as on any former occasion, and the charge was the same—but the guests were wanting.—(Loud laughter.) About 30 persons only were present, and of those a number were landlords, and some belonged to the city." Mr. Watts, a tenant-farmer, volunteered an expla nation, and he said, "I am sorry that our club is continuing to fall off, and that the attendance at our meetings has been so small. But, gentlemen, I told you last year the reason of this, namely, the unwil lingness of many landlords to help their tenantry in these times of difficulty and distress." He then went on to say—" I am aware that many land surveyors will advise their employers not to grant leases. The reason is obvious ; instead of these men being called upon once in seven years, they perhaps will not be called upon to value the same farm more than once in twenty-one years.—(Laughter.) I hope the time is not far distant when every good farmer will be pro tected by a fair lease, and at such a rent as the prices of produce, permanently reduced as they undoubtedly are, will enable him to pay."—(Hear, hear.) So that it seemed, after all, when the farmer wanted relief, he did not look to rent. He knew there was a margin there that could be borrowed upon. They had been told—he dared say Mr. Cobden had been frequently told—" If you were to abolish rents altogether, the farmers could not afford to farm their lands under a re peal of the corn- laws." They did not say so at this meet ing of which he was reading. They had not said a word about "special burdens" either. Here was not a word said about the poor-rate, nor about the seasons, ' nor about any other difficulties whatever.—(Cheers.) The only remark made by this tenant-farmer was, that he wanted a lease, and that he wanted it at a fair rent.—(Hear, hear.) And that was the whole ques tion. Now, what was it the farmers were afraid of at the present moment from a repeal of the corn laws ? Was it low prices ? Why, they had the low prices now; prices were low. They said they wanted a lowering of rent. But he asked them would they ever get that lowering of rent until the corn-law was abolished?—(No, no.) Would there ever be a general adjustment of rent between the landlord and his tenant throughout the kingdom until there was a total abolition of protection ? Never. As a proof that he was not speaking without authority when he said this, what did Lord Liverpool say when the corn-law was passed ? He said—" If you do not pass this corn-law, there will be a general adjustment of rents between landlords and tenants all over the kingdom, and the farmer will start afresh upon a new basis."— (Applause.) That would be the state of things now if the corn-laws were repealed.—(Hear, hear.) The League proposed to do all in its power to accomplish what these farmers were asking for, and therefore he would say that the League was emphatically the farmer's friend. There never would be a more favourable time for repealing the corn-laws than this. We were often told by the present State physician, Sir Robert Peel, " Your proposition may be very reasonable in principle; but this is not the time."—(Laughter.) Now he defied them, if ever they meant to repeal the corn-laws, to point to any future time which could be more favourable. Prices were already moderate, there would be no change in the position of the far mer in that respect. Labourers were not now thrown out of employment because prices were reduced, but there was grow ing up from various causes a greatly increased demand for labour.—(Hear.) But shat a nonsensical argument it was about throwing labourers out of employment by the repeal of the corn-laws. Labourers could only be thrown out of employment, and he supposed they meant by the term thrown out of bread, by the land going out of cultivation. Now, he would take the most extreme case that could possibly be imagined, that of a great number of acres of land being thrown out of culti vation, and, as they said, a great number of labourers being thrown out of employment. Why, there would only be three labourers employed on one acre of land ; and did any human being who was fit to be at large mean to assert that these three men could not, by their own industry, live out of these 100 acres of land which it is alleged would be thrown out of cultivation, whether the corn-laws were re pealed or not ?—(Loud cheers.) He held in his hand a book that had just been published in London, namely, a report of an association for " Promoting the relief of Destitution in the Metropolis, and for improving the condition of the Poor by means of parochial and district visiting, under the super intendence and direction of the Bishop and clergy." Now, this was a report of the Lord Bishop of London, and they were entitled to have a little conversation with the Bishop of London on the corn-laws, not because he was a bishop, but because as a legislator he was an assenting party to their existence. In this report he said, "In the course of this investigation it soon appeared, that whatever might be the severity of the immediate pres sure, a still greater and more alarming evil existed in its cause. It was found, on investigation, that the condition of the labouring classes in too many in stances exhibited a downward tendency, arising from pauperism. Whether this tendency might be ascribed to the competition in trade, the manifold interruptions to which so vast a traffic as that of Great Britain is unavoidably exposed, and the consequent fluctuations in wages and uncertainty of employment, or whether, in particular districts, it might be traced to circum stances affecting the immediate locality alone, the fact remained the same." Now, the Bishop said a more alarming evil existed in the cause of all these disasters. A very sensible remark.—(Applause end laughter.) Perhaps it might be thought wrong to say that the Bishop himself was a cause.—(Laughter.) nut unless we were totally wrong in all our conclusiOns, the Bishop of London, by not testifying his disapprobation of the corn-laws in the House of Lords—unless we were completely deceived in all our notions of cheap food being a source of happiness to the community— he said that there was nothing so very extreme in the remark that the Bishop of London himself might be considered as one of the causes of the evils which he deplored.—(Loud cheers.) " Why," the Bishop might say, " prices are low now, what would you have ? The corn-laws have not prevented you from having abundance of food ?" Yes, but the answer was that the corn-laws answered no purpose at all, unless it were to raise the price of food. It did effect that sometimes. and therefore by not opposing that law, as far as in him lay, the Bishop of London did all he could to keep up the price of corn.—(Cheers.) Surely it could never be necessary with the Church to discuss the question of whether plenty is an evil, or whether scarcity is a blessing. The very prayer so often referred to as used in our churches assumed that cheapness and plenty were blessings. He asked, therefore, why this body, with the Bishop at its head, did not come forward and help them to repeal the corn-laws ?—(Cheers.) Mr. Gib son went on to express his conviction that the day was ' not far distant when this law would he erased from the statute-book and consigned, as many other bar barisms have been before it, to everlasting oblivion. J. BRIGHT, Esq., M.P., was the next speaker, and was very cordially received. He said two things had struck him in connection with this subject; one was the certainty of the tendency of all corn-law legisla tion to plunder the industry of the country by creating an artificial famine, and thereby to enrich the great proprietors of the soil, and those who called themselves the nobility.--(Cheers.) The corn-law of 1815 aimed to fix wheat at 80s. a quarter, a famine price, which had only been attained in two years since, 1817 and 1818, which were years of distress, discontent, and menaced insurrection in all the densely-peopled districts of the kingdom. •But the object of that law and its powers was to keep as near the famine price as it might be safe to go,even though some few were starved in the experiment. This law had no mercy in it, and its framers had none. It was not of its mercy that ttiey were not now plunged into utter desolation, potentates that but a es bene ficent power, far above the powers a nd pdo given en plenty and ant in tentions of thehehal humanframers fmersof this law, and b legislatiomhadabafiled thleneitn; and comfort to the millions of this kingdom.—(dear.)lt should never be forgotten that _ . t c h us is law was 'asPnssed Parliament by military force alone.

This was a fitting time to ask what had the League done ? In 1839 they had ra i se d a subscription of about 5,0001., which was then thought a very serious amount ; and ono knowing man had promised to repeal the corn laws for about s,oool.—(Laughter.) In 1840 another subscription h a d b een entered into—a guarantee fund for three years, to be paid by instalments. In 1841 there took place the memorable meeting of seven hundred ministers of religion, who, with all the force and power which their character and calling could give, denounced the law as one violating every human right, and offensive in the sight of BURTON'S ANATOMY OF MELANCHOLY.

LONDON, FRIDAY Y 75' S U N 7 PRICE sd. 2 e f / heaven.—(Hear, hear.) In 1842 the bazaar was held,, which realised 10,000/., a greater amount than was ever before received from any bazaar, however great and noble were its patrons and patronesses.—(Loud cheers.) In 1843 they had raised a subscription of 50,0001., with the greatest ease.—(Cheers.) In 1844 the sub.cription of 100,0001. was asked for, of which 82,000/. or 83,0001. had been received, though one of the great means of its collection had not yet been. employed. In 1845, not yet a month old, the free traders of Lancashire, West Yorkshire, and North Cheshire had, on the recommen d a ti on o f the Coun ci l of the League, ex p en d e d near l y a quar t er o f a million of money in qualifying as county voters.—(Cheers.) When, more than twelve months ago, a few despised manufacturers met and put down their names for upwards of 12,000/., the Times had called it " a great fact." He should like to know what description of fact was this—the investment of nearly 250,0001. to augment the free-trade register in the three counties he had named ?—(Loud cheers.) After this brief description of their progress, he would ask, could this movement fail ?—(No, never.) Let the monopolists and the members of the Government answer this. It was a miserable delusion that the improvement in trade would stop this agitation ; it was now marching on with firmer and faster steps than ever.—(Hear, hear.) This movement had arisen from a deep con viction, which had become a faith, and that faith was strengthened by the experience of every year. From 1838 to 1842 the average price of wheat had been 64i. 81. per quarter; now it was 455., within 4d. of 20s. difference.—(Haar, hear). Supposing that the people of this country consumed twenty millions of quarters annually, they were now saving twenty millions sterling a-year, an amount which the land , lords had formerly absorbed from the industrious classes, without rendering for it one atom of good, or near so much food as they now gave at a lower price, —(Applause.) This twenty millions now circulated in a thousand channels, fertilizing every district of the country, drying up nothing but tears, and spread ing smiles and happiness around.—(Applause). It was said to be a good thing that the China market had been opened ; but how much better a thing was it that the English market had been opened. This alteration in the price of food was tantamount to the opening of markets half as extensive again as the whole of the British colonies, and equal in extent to the markets of Germany, Holland, France, Italy and the Italian islands, Russia, Belgium, and Brazil in 1842. —(Applause). The present prosperity enjoined on them to continue this agitation, and if it did not, agricultural misery imperatively demanded it. Thirty years protection had left 800,000 or 900,000 agricul tural labourers for the most part paupers, hopeless, and reckless. This was the very population who, it was said, supported the home trade and the revenue ; and it was now found on inquiry that they bought almost no clothing, and consumed few exciseable articles.—(Hear, hear.) The farmers were just about as helpless. Though 99 out of every 100 were against the game-law, they dared not meet to de nounce it in the face of their landlords. This was the battle of trade against lordly plunder, of honest industry against dishonest idleness. (Applause.) After some further observations, the Hon. Gentleman alluded, in conclusion, to the movement of the League for securing the county representation, and said that it would do wonders for the trade and commerce of the country. Looking back over the ground they had trod—over the dangers and perils they had challenged —there was enough to stimulate them for the future. —(Applause.) He felt that every step they took they trod on firmer and firmer ground—on every hand the foe was retreating. From the contents of the report, from the support they had received that day from va rious parts of the country, and from all he saw around he augured that they were approaching the end of this conflict; and then, after the toils, and perils, and sacrifices of warfare, they should have the reward and the enjoyments of a long and perpetual peace. On the motion of Mr. J. BROOKS, seconded by Mr. ECKROYD, of Otley, the thanks of the meeting were voted to the four gentlemen who had delivered addresses, and the proceedings terminated.

FALMOUTH, JAN. 20.—The Netherlands galliot Willem Cornelis, of Amsterdam, Reincke, master, from Alicata, laden with sulphur, whilst working out of port yesterday mornine., for Rotterdam, the wind strong at S.S.W., missed stays near the lighthouse on the eastern entrance, St. Anthony's Point, and after casting anchor, which unfortunately did not hold, she drove on the reeks, and, notwithstanding prompt assistance was rendered by boats and men from the Dutch man-of-war steamer Vesuvius, lying in the roads, bound to Batavia, and also from the shore, she could not be got off that tide, the wind having then considerably freshened from the west ward and W.N.W. ; in the meantime, the galliot having struck heavily, beat off her rudder and became very leaky, and little or no hopes existed of saving her, though every means were resorted to ; when, on a sudden, in a shift of wind at three A.M., she was got oft the rocks, and speedily anchored in comparative safety. The wind soon afterwards increased to a violent gale at N.N.W. ; at noon, however, the Vesuvius having got up her steam, weighed anchor, ran down to leeward, speedily took the galliot in tow, and in an hour succeeded in bringing her into the inner harbour. This is another proof of the valuable aid which can be afforded by steam power under circumstances of emergency, and where sailing vessels can afford little or no assistance ; whilst to Captain Tull ken, of the Vesuvius, it must be very gratifying that his incidental visit to this port enabled him to render most opportune and timely aid to a vessel of his own nation. SUSPICIOUS .

THE PROJECTED REBUILDING OF BALIOL COLLEGE. —lt is not, perhaps, generally known that the rebuilding of Baliol College has been suspended, in consequence of the refusal of the Fellows of that Society to accept any plan not supplied by Mr. Pugin, the Catholic arehittet. Mr. Basevi had supplied a plan, which was approved!.; but the merits of Mr. Pugin, in having ritten a bitter philippic against the Reformation, as well as his claims on the private friendship of the Fellows of the College, occasioned the setting aside the plans of Mr. Basevi for a subsequent one of Mr. Pugin's.-0.2-ford Chronicle. On Tuesday last, City police-constable Pring, be longing to the first division of police, having been found upon his beat in a state of inebriety, was sent to the station-house in Moor-lane, where, on his arrival, he was told that he would be reported to the superintendent.
