TH.E4 SUN, SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENINIG PAPERS OF THIS 1 DAT. GLOBE.—The Spectator ventures a kited of semi apology for Major Wilde, to whose exft•aordinary maladministration of the revenue-laws in th Carl isle coachman's case, we recently drew at t ention. Our generally shrewd Contemporary, after giving a summary of the facts, observes— • " Bad as this case is, -it seems to be one of pure bungling ; for there is no trace of malice or wilful op • pression on the part of the Major—who may yet,. per haps, suffer for his jocund rough-and-ready style of administering law. It is, we say, very easy to ridicule and condemn these blunders ; but magistrates are not lawyers, and to err is not ony human but especially natural in their case ; and prevention would be better than ridicule. It may be asked, why not abolish the unpaid magistracy ? It would be difficult, however, to find in any other class so available a staff of local jus tices—a set of men who are upon the whole intelligent, sensible, independent, humanely disposed because in easy circumstances, not needing pay, and combining in a porta ble shape a kind of judge and jury fur preliminary, sum mary, and trifling proceedings. Much may to said against such a magistracy, but much more also for it than people always choose to remember. Moreover, it exists, and is likely to exist." Small comfort this to the sufferers from the " pure bungling" of those Magistrates who " are not lawyers." To the poor man who is subjected to ignominy, and the numerous personal and relative injuries involved in an illegal and unjust commitment to a felon's gaol, it is of little moment that the Magistrate, by whose warrant he is sent thither, had the best possible intentions; " no trace of malice or wilful oppression" being manifest in his acts. The laws them selves lose that respect and veneration which constitutes their best security for being obeyed. When it is seen that, instead of being the pro tector of the subject, they are rendered the in struments of wrong-doing by the ignorance, if not by the direct intention, of the Magistrate to whom the Government entrusts their administration, the majesty of justice is degraded in her own Courts. The people, divested of confidence in the law, feel that its restraints upon their conduct are loosened, and its requirements are deprived of their sanctions. " Judges and Home Secretaries" do unfortunately " treat the errors of the Great Unpaid with a leniency that probably tends to remove same degree of check upon error." Instead of looking at the act—(and as the law does in most cases of personal injury) holding that ignorance of what a Magistrate is bound to know is no valid defence, much less a justification—the Judges surround the Magistrate with protection so ample and complete, that redress for injuries committed by a justice of the peace in the performance of his office, except direct malice and wilful oppression can be proved, is of all things the most difficult to obtain by application to the Courts. As to a Home Secretary or Lord Chancellor troubling himself with the doings of a justice of the peace, in any matter in which a private person complains of injury from his negligence or ig norance, the idea is too ridiculous to be mentioned or heard with gravity. The notorious Alexander O'Driscoll, Esq., of the Macroom Bench—whose freaks have caused his name to be familiar with the people of both England and Ireland, and whose re moval froin the Bench he has disgraced was regarded as an act which the Government no less owed to them selves than to the country—this gentleman finds a protector in the Lord Chancellor of Ireland ! After all his violations of decorum, his outrages of the laws, his manifest partiality, and other proofs of his unfit ness for the functions of a Magistrate, Sir Edward Sugden—when memorialised by one of the many sufferers from Mr. O'Driscoll's conduct on the bench —sees nothing to call for his special interference; and directs his secretary to transmit the following answer to the memorial : " Sir—l am directed to inform you that the Lord Chancellor has made an inquiry, and has had transmitted to him copies of the information before Messrs. Fleming and Somerville, and their warrant of committal. He does not think that Mr. O'Driscoll should have acted as a magistrate at all in his own case; but under all the cir cumstances, he thinks it is not a case in which he is called upon to act. Mr: O'Driscoll is, of course liable to an action, if he acted illegally towards you. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " HENRY SUGDEN, Secretary. " Mr. Daniel Dinien." An action ! " Mr. O'Driscoll is liable to an action, if he has acted illegally" in the case alluded to ! What cruel mockery is this ! A poor peasant, who can scarcely obtain sufficient potatoes for daily food; an English labourer, whose utmost earnings are, perhaps, not above a shilling a-day ; a mechanic or operative - who finds it difficult to obtain em ployment, and when in work finds the day's wages barely enough for the day's necessities—for a Lord Chancellor or a Home Secretary to inform such a man that he may bring an action at law against a magistrate, a country squire of ample estate, who has perverted the laws to his injury, is a heartless mockery of his complaint, and does but add insult to injury. Well might the poor memorialist of the Irish Lord Chancellor against the wrong-doing of Mr. Alexander O'Driscoll say, in reply to the infor mation given him by the Chancellor's Secretary— "lt is of little or no advantage to me to be told by your Lordship that if Mr. O'Driscoll has acted illegally towards me I can obtain redress by an action at law. The redress to be obtained by such expensive means is beyond my reach, or the reach of any poor man like me. "Redress by an action at law" is a luxury in which the poor man must not indulge. The Courts of Jus tice are, it is true, open to all ; but, as Horne Tooke remarked, on hearing the aphorism, " So is the Lon don Tavern !" The Courts of ustice are open ; hut woe to the wretch who enters, unless with a well-lined purse ! We have no desire to see the unpaid magistracy abolished ; but we do desire to see the administration of the laws, by their instru mentality, preserved from the egregious blunders and consequent wrongs which they often perpetrate. Either let the Legislature empower the Government to provide a competent clerk to every Bench, whose legal education and experience shall be us such as to ensure a practical knowledge of the law, and without w hose presence no petty sessions shall be held, or any final conviction or commitment be pronounced ; or let one or more stipendiary magistrates be appointed by the Crown to every county, whose duty it shall be to preside at the petty and quarter sessions held within the district to which he was appointed. If the Legislature would seriously apply itself to an investi gation of the evils involved in the existing system, there would be no difficulty in devising, if not an ab solute cure, at least an extensive amelioration and im provement. STANDARD.—A case has lately occurred in Ire land, and has been allowed to snake some noise in this country, which illustrates in a remarkable manner the danger of judging upon imperfect information. Two persons were prosecuted at a county sessions for the violent rescue of some property distrained for rent—the defence set up was, that they had paid the rent by bills or promissory-notes still outstand ing, and that having so paid, they considered that they had satisfied the landlord's claim. This was a plausible enough defence, and the changes were very I berally rung,upon the rapacity and cruelty of a land lord who could thus insist upon being twice paid for his land. An explanation has, however, appeared, which sets the affair in rather a different light. It now turns out that the tenants, poor innocents, had indeed given their bills or notes for the rent, but that they were, as the day of payment approached, furtively removing all their property from the farms they occupied —in short, preparing to run away, and, of course, to leave the landlord to take up the bills at his convenience, and look for his rent where it might please him. The bills were, in fact, demanded because the tenants were from the first doubtful subjects, and because a recovery upon a bill is more easily had than by an ejectment process, while generally it spares the landlord the necessity of watching the crops, though in the case of these sharp fellows it did not. The system may seem strange in England, but we are Informed that it is common in Ireland, and that the tenantry generally like it, as giving them a little more time and more freedom in the disposal of their produce, when the tenant's personal security is worth anything. We advert to ' the subject, not only as a warning against drawing , hasty conclusions upon Irish affairs, but also in jus tice to the accused landlord, to whom we do not find that any atonement has been made by the London journals that have treated him so roughly. A. SCENE in tteFRENCH CHAMBERS CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES—SITTING or DEC. 30. The Chamber met this day for the choice of Vice- Presidents, and for the definitive constitution of the Chamber: After the election of the Vice-Presidents, M. Lafitte, who, as the senior member of the Cham ber, had acted as pro. tern. President, addressed the Chamber as follows : Gentlemen, called for the second time to the honour of presiding over you, I will not abuse the privilege of my age and my functions. The sorrowful reminis cences which I feel in this place would perhaps lead me to speak to you of my appre hensions for the future, whilst I would only wish at this moment to express to you my thanks for the kind ness of which you have given me a fresh proof ; but, in the presence of a situation which does not appear without danger, my conscience obliges the to tell you what France expects of you. In the course of your session, besides the official programme of your labours, opportunities will offer themselves for ex amining if our late illusions 4pd our fortune will be engulfed in the abyss which opens at our very doors 1---(lnterruption)—whether the struggle entered on in various localities—(oh, oh)—between the Go vernment and the elective powers does pot contain within itself the seeds of a struggle still more grave between the two principles which, for four teen years, we have laboured to conciliate—(Loud exclatnationa from the Centre) —if the artificial calm created Qn the egFfAcp of the count7—(lo, ah)—be sufficient for-our dignity—(ON oh)whether dis order and anarchy are not at the foundation of our situation—(Murmurs from different parts of the Chamber) —and whether good faith and rectitude in the administration of public affairs are not preferable to the resources of venality—to a traffic in corruption. --(Loud interruption from the Centre, and a Member loudiy called " Order, order.") M: Lafitte—l consider that my age, my character, and my , position, give me a right to speak the truth when I consider it useful.—(Marks of assent from the Gauche.) M. Lafitte—l shall not carry my investigations any further. A voice from the Centre exclaimed, " That will be no misfortune ;" and another voice from the Left called on the interrupter for Ailence. M. Lafitte—l will not carry my investigations any further ; but bear in mind that factions die away, Ministries are changed, systems become exhausted, and we, Gentlemen, we remain responsible for the obstacles which the country meets with in the deve lopement of those resources of power and of prosperity which it ought to expect from the Revolution of July. —(Loud murmurs from the Centre, and approbatory exclamations from the Left.) M. Lafitte then said—" I now invite the President and the Definitive Secretaries to take their places ;" and returned to his usual seat in the Chamber. A voice from the Centre—" A la bonne heure." M. Sauzet, the President, then addressed the Cham ber, amidst the most profound silence; and after thanking the Chamber for the honour they had done him in electing him again to fill the honourable office of President of the ' Chamber he concluded thus —" The first session has fulfilled its work—let the second do the same ; let the Chamber concur in it with the Bureaux by the good order of its delibera tions, the prompt and wise distribution of its labours, that no salutary idea may be lost sight of, that no one moment be lost; let us know how to show what may be expected from an intelligent and powerful nation, and thus merit the gratitude of the country. The President then declared the Chambers to be constituted; and proposed to vote the usual thanks to the Member, who, from his seniority, had temporarily presided. Some voices from the Centre here exclaimed, " Oh, oh !" and " No, no !" and others from the Left, "Consult the Chamber." President—l demand that the thanks be voted as usual to the members of the provisional Bureau. — (Oh, oh.) There is no opposition to the vote. A voice from the Left—" Yes, there is opposition, Consult the Chamber." President—l again demand that thanks be voted to the Provisional Bureau.—(Yes, yes). There is no opposition.—(No, no.) The thanks are voted. — (Loud murmurs and exclamati@ns from the Left.) The Chamber soon after adjourned. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) ST. JAMES'S PALACE, DEC. 30, 1843.

No notice of any such intention has been given to the officers of the Central Criminal Court, nor is it likely, under all the circumstances, that there Will be. THAMES TUNNEL.— The number of persons who passed through the Tunnel last week was 37,114. THEATRES IN ITALY.—The recent death of Cata lini renders Sinigaglia, her birth-place, a spot of interest to the musical world. The city is remarkable for the brilliancy of its theatrical performances. Last year they had Frezzolini, Barbieri, Nini, and Piombanti, as prime donne, Poggi, Castellan, and Lucchesi, as priori tesiori, and Porto, as prime basso. In 1842, Teresa Brambilla was one of the p ime donne, Ivanhoff and Lucchesi were tenors, Tamburini, Rosi, and Fallar, basses. An at tempt was made to produce Guglielmo Tell, under the name of .Rodolfo di Sterlinga ' but a Government decree prevented its performance. The opera of Benifacie di Geremei, by Prince Poniatowski, has been played with great success at the Teatro Argentine, at Rome, and was supported by Teresa Brambilla, Giacomo Roppa (tenor), and Sebastiano Ronconi, Carlo Porto, and Francesco Fallar (basses). The theatre is celebrated for the ori ginal production of Rossini's Barbiare. Sebastiano Ron coni, according to an " indignant" correspondent, has be come a superior actor to his brother Georgic) ; and cer tainly, from our recollection of Sebastiano at the Lyceum in the opera of Furioso, and of Georgio, at her Majesty's Theatre, in 1842, we have no reason to discredit his statement. WINTER ASSIZES. SOUTH WALES.—Carmarthen, Dec. 27. David Jones, aged 39, a farmer, was charged with having, on the 14th of October last, knowingly, wilfully, and feloniously, sent to Thomas Williams, auctioneer, of Landwrda, a certain letter, threatening to destroy the hay and corn of him, the said Thomas Williams. The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty. The witnesses called for the prosecution having fully established the charge against the prisoner, the jury re turned a verdict of Guilty, but recommended the pri soner to mercy on account of his ignorance of the conse quences of sending such a letter. Bridget Williams, atr n en p r o h e r o b l e d r:ionnitahne, parishwh o c o o u f l d e e n a neither rt h, readl6th of nor October, a t charged with having, on Sunday, the sent a letter to one Benjamin Evans, signed "Rebecca," threatening to pull down his house. The prisoner was found Guilty, but recommended to mercy by the jury, on account of her children, her po verty, and her ignorance. His LORDSHIP observed that both the verdict and the recommendation were extremely proper. December 29. The Court opened th is mornin g at nine o'clock, when Thomas Morgan and I'liomas Lewis were indicted for having, on the 7th of October last, with other persons, assembled at Dolauhirion-gate, in the parish of Llan dingad, and destroyed the toll-house of the aforesaid gate. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the jury, stating the facts of the case, and proceeded with the evidence. But the case was suddenly brought to a close, his Lord ship being of opinion that the charge in the indictment had not been supported by evidence, there being no evi dence that the house had been pulled down by a " riot ous and tumultuous assemblage" of people.—The pri soners were consequently- acquitted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION -NO USE. The Lord Mayor having sent for some of the principal officers of the police, in order to give them directions with respect to the scavengers appointed to convoy the mud from the streets of the City who might neglect to perform their duty strictly, Major Shaw, the superinten dent, waited upon his Lor dshi p , and stated that he should communicate with the Commissioner upon the subject. The Superintendent informed the Lord Mayor that ob jections were made by some of the inhabitants of the great thoroughfares to have the dirt and mud removed by the servants from the fronts of their houses on Sundays, upon the pretence that it was contrary to Jaw to work, or cause work to be done, by others, on the Sabbath. The LORD MAYOR—Have you the name of any par ticular person who refused to have the pathway in the front of his house cleaned on Sunday ? Major Shaw— Yes, my Loixi. A highly respectable man in Ludgate.. hill has declared that there is no law to oblige him to remove dirt from his doorway on Sunday, and he has refused to comply with the order of which general notice has been given. • The LORD MANOR—Let that gentleman be sum moned.. He is just t h e sort o f person I wish to see. The summons was i mme di ate ly issued for the attend ance (of the person who expressed hi s intention of resist ing the order. The LORD M AYOR reques t e d that the press would acknowledge the rece i pt of 5L from a lady resident at Thetford for the p oor -b ox ; 10s . (annoy mous) as a New Year's gift for the poor-box ; 101, from the Goldsmith's Company ; 101. from a lady of Wimbledon common ; and 10s. (post-office order), also for charity. WORSHIP-STREE 7 ' . Yesterday Mr. Broughton, the sitting magistrate, announced the receipt of the second half of a 51. note from " J. A.," and of the sum of 15s. from " M. M.," " for the poor-box, a n d t h at h e h a d previously received the sums sent by M. and " for Ann Griffiths, the soldier's wife. A poor German girl, about 15 years of age, came be fore the Magistrate to seek redress. She was a native of Frankfort-on-the-Maine, who had come to t his countr y to the service of one of her ' countrymen, who had several young persons like herself itinerating in the metropolis and environs as musicians. She had to travel about with her instrument, a small pi an o, slung round her nec k, an d to give to her maste r a ll t h at s he obtained from the pub lic, but she was const an tly i ll-used by her master be cause she useshweadsidbneaottebnrianlsgohbiymbeenrounfihsiraensds.yesterday morn ing Mr. BROUGHTON asked her how much she was in the habit of taking home? The girl said 35., or 45., or 55., according to circumstances. Mr. BRoIJOHTON--Suppose you took him 55.? The girl, in her broken English, explained that her master would Dot consider even that enough, for he was pm - yr satisfieti• Mr. Brioupwrox,_ And how does he kee p y ou? What i do you get for your bre a kf as t ? Girl — Bread and but ter, and coffee, Mr. BROUGHTON—And for dinner ? The girl ex plained that the master gave them one penny a day eacb, to provide themselves with dinner, as they were out from morning till night, and after they returned at night they had a supper of potatoes. They had no beer, nor anything but the mere potatoes. Mr. BROUGHTON asked how many her master had in the same condition as herself ? The girl said he had two females and a boy, who played the tambourine, They all fared the same as herself, but one of the girls had that morning been taken away by her father in conse quence of the ill treatment. A foreigner, who is himself a skin dresser, and em- - ploys several young foreigners of both sexes as wander ing minstrels, came forward in corroboration of the com plainant, whose services he was manifestly desirous of securing for himself, and he set forth in glowing terms the superior treatment which his young people received from him. They had the usual breakfast of bread and butter and coffee, and a potato° supper at night, but then he gavo them twopence each for dinner, just double the allowance given by the other master. _ Mr. BROUGHTON wondered what sort of dinner the poor creatures could get for a penny or twopence either, but, surely, said he, you give them a little beer, or some thing with their potatoes at night. The man said that beer would not do for them, they never had it when at home, but he sometimes gave them a leetle bit of meat. The first master being sent for, attended with his wife, and alleged that the complainant had been bound ap prentice to him by her mother, who was to receive the remuneration for her services. He undertook to pro duce the indentures here at an appointed time, and Mr. Broughton directed that the other girl who had been taken from him should also be then in attendance. LONDON AND DOVER RAILWAY. The completion of the works from Abbot's Cliff to Dover, which is now so anxiously looked for, has (since the period of our last observations) been the scene of the most active and persevering operations night and day ; and had it not been for the recent fall of the cliff at the east entrance to Abbott's Cliff', we doubt not that the anticipations contained in the last able report of Mr. Cubitt to the Directors, would have been fully verified (viz., the opening of the en tire line by the Ist of January, 1844), considering the advantages the late favourable weather has af forded. The tunnelling through the core of the fallen mass, however, is going on rapidly, and, taking into account the nature of the work, with much spirit, under the able management and exertions of Mr. Hodges. This work, we observe, is now about two-thirds finished, and in the course - of eight or ten days, we may expect it will be wholly so. It is satisfactory to observe that the permanent rails are laid to and from this un fortunate barrier, which, when it is removed, an en tire opening will be almost instantaneously effected. The works from Shakspeare Cliff to the terminus are waiting the completion of this portion of Abbott's Cliff Tunnel. The lengthened scarpment of the range of cliff adjoining Arch Cliff Fort, which protruded on the line, may be said to be finished, and the timber dike, which retains the formation of the platform in its ront, is also finished. The continuation of this dike in front of the terminus is fast advancing ; and we may here observe that its construction is consi dered to be quite new in this country. That portion of it in front of Arch Cliff Fort (the severest attack ing point of the sea), having the double flanged piles and a backing of cement concrete, seems to be almost a fac-simile in detail of that designed by Mr. Steward, of Dover, for the construction of his piers in the proposed Harbour of Refuge here, with the ex ception, perhaps, that Mr. Steward introduces stone casing and stone ties, instead of the timber casing and ties. We observe that a passage-way in front of Arch Cliff Fort, of several feet wide, is in progress, and that to facilitate its formation, the old sea-beaten brow of the Fort has been removed. A distribution of cast iron and timber groins is in course of being planted in front of the terminus, for the purpose of retaining the shingle in front of the platform. This work, together with the dike and viaduct, from the immensity of the undertaking, and the manner in which it is executed, reflect the highest credit on the contractors, Messrs. Finnis and Walker, as well as on the professional merit of Mr. Geo. Turnbull, their exe cutive engineer. We understand that the preliminary operations for the immediate erection of the splendid terminus is to be proceeded with on Monday, January Ist, by Mr. Grimsdell, the contractor, whose estimate for the work, which we have already noticed, amounts to 29,4751. We hope the people of Dover will not forget the hint we gave them some time since, to be prepared to give the Directors a cordial reception on the opening to Dover of this great undertaking.—Dover Chronicle. THE QUEEN AND THE DUKE.—At the conclusion of the banquet at Windsor Castle, on Tuesday evening last, her Majesty and Prince Albert, with their distin guished guests, retired as usual to the green drawing room, the Queen's private band being stationed in the adjoining apartment (the crimson drawing-room), the folding doors of which were thrown open. In the course of the evening her Majesty left the private apartment, arm in arm with the Duke of Welling ton, and seated herself with the Duke on her right hand, and surrounded by the Court, near the band. After listening to the performance of two or three compositions, the Queen roso from her seat to retire, a movement which was, of course, followed by the who!e of the Royal party, with the exception of the Duke, who had fallen into a profound nap. Her Majesty, smiling, and evidently enjoying the involun tary forgetfulness of his Grace, playfully tapped the Duke on his shoulder with her bouquet, which speedily brought him from a state of momentary oblivion to perfect consciousness, when the Queen, with a gracious smile (amidst the suppressed titterings of the illustrious guests), made his Grace a low curtesy, and taking the noble warrior's arm in the most kind and affectionate manner, and laughing the while, proceeded from the crimson to the green drawing-room, where coffee was served. When the body of Casimer Delavigne was lying in state, three women, closely veiled, were seen to ad vance, and throw holy water on the coffin. These ladies were Mademoiselles Mars, Rachel, and Plessy. Jules Janin being asked who were these mysterious mummers, maliciously answered, " that it was the grande come dienne (surname of Mademoiselle Mars), the grande tragedienne (surname of Rachel), with the young lady who was neither the one nor the other." He might more justly have said, " the lady who was both." One very elegant lady excited general curiosity and sym pathy. Hidden beneath her thick veil, which prevented the least feature to be discerned, she followed on foot the procession throughout the day. She was said to be a lady to whom the poet had inspired a most tender passion without ever seeing her, and who followed him about for years—in all his travels present, but unknown and unseen.—Purls Letter. EXTRAORDINARY FREE TRADE DEMONSTRATION. —On Friday morning last the inhabitants of the village of Coalbrookdale, in Shropshire, and the immediate vicinity, were astonished by the announcement, by pla card, that a meeting would take place that evening, in the new Lecture-room, for the purpose of commencing subscriptions in aid of the Great League Fund of 100,0001. Notwithstanding the very short notice, the absence of many of the "Stars" of the League, and the smallness of the population, the room was comfortably filled ; Abraham Darby, Esq., in the chair. After speeches from the chairman and others, the subscrip tion-cards were handed in, and the amounts and names were afterwards read. The first was the ladies' subscription of Coalbrookdale, (anonymous), 1504 ; then carne Abraham Darby, Esq., 50/. ; Alfred Darby, Esq., 50/.

A BACKSLIDING TEETOTALLER.—The New York papers of the 4th of December contain the following statement regarding the suicide of a temperate back slider ; but when names are not given in such matters suspicions arise. However, here is the article, and if it check one " inordinate glass" it will do good :—" We learn from the Monticello Watchman that a man named Crocker put an end to his life in the Bethel Church, in that village, on Saturday last. He had been a drunkard for twenty-five years, until about three months' since, when he became a member of the Temperance Society, and held fast to the pledge till within a few days, when he joined a hunting party, and was induced by his com panions to indulge in liquor. He remained drunk for a week, and on recovering from his debauch his remorseful feelings were so strong as to make life a burden. He shot himself with his rifle, leaving directions that his body might be prepared for burial by those companions whose solicitations induced him to return again to the maddening bowl l" POOR-LAW YERSITS MORALITY.—A lasting memo rial of the folly, wickedness, and depravity of the Bas tardy clause in the New Poor-law Act, which exone rates the fathers of illegitimate children from any claim for their support, is yearly shown by the increase of poor-rates, and the number of illegitimate births. In the Morpeth Union, during the year ending September last, out of 476 births, 49 were illegitimate ; and in the town itself, containing a rural population, ono out of every six. The workhouse has thus been converted into a lying-in hospital, and the industrious rate-payers burthened with the maintenance of mother and child for twelve or fourteen years, while the depraved father laughs at the law, and seeks 014 Analwr victim of seduo- . _ tiorT. It would by well if the local clergy, instead of at tempting to revive obsolete and unmeaning ceremonies, would attend to the morals and instruction of their people. \Ve understand the guardians of the Morpeth Union are about to petition Parliament against this ob noxious clause of the Act, and we trust to see it followed up by the various Boards throughout the kingdom, On Saturday afternoon, two implies were ob served gambolling in the river Thames, at a short dis tance from Westminster-bridge, on the north side. The singular novelty attracted a great crowd of persons. They were visible for a long while at intervals, The Town-council rof Brighton have purchased a full-length portrait of his Grace the Duke of Welling ton, by Simpson, who for upwards of twenty years was the principal assistant to Sir T. Lawrence. The portrait is to be placed in the Town-ball, 2, 1A44. MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAIL WAY. A Special General Meeting of the Proprietors of the Manchester and Leeds Railway was convened at the Company's Offices, Oldham -road, Manchester, on Thurs day last, for the purpose of taking into consideration, and deciding upon, a proposed arrangement between the Manchester and Leeds Railway Company and the Hull and Selby Railway Company, for uniting and consoli dating into one concern the traffic and business of the said Companies, and for working the said two railways under one management, also for the purpose of taking into consideration, and deciding upon the making of pro visional arrangements with the Hull and Selby Railway Company, for the management of the traffic, and other business of the said two railway companies, in connec tion with each other, until the sanction of Parliament can be obtained ; and also for the purpose of taking into consideration, and of deciding upon the propriety of making an arrangement between the Manchester and Leeds Railway Company and the York and North Mid land Company, in reference to the traffic passing along the last-mentioned railway to or from the Hull and Selby Railway, and for giving to the Directors all such powers and authorities as may be necessary for enabling them to carry any such arrangement into full effect. The Directors also applied to the meeting for power to obtain an Act of Parliament for carrying out the above object, and others connected with them. A considerable number cf Proprietors were present. The Chair was taken by H. Houldsworth, Esq. The CHAIRMAN having explained the objects for which the meeting was called together, as above, stated that the business of the present meeting was not to de cide finally upon the various measures, but to sanction the Proprietors in making application to Parliament. The opinion of the meeting on the proposed plans was taken seriatim, and the resolution authorising the Court to apply to Parliament for an Act to alter and amend the Act relating to the Manchester and Leeds Railway, was carried unanimously. PROPOSED NEW BRANCHES. The CHAIRMAN said the next resolution would refer to the new branches of the line which it was proposed to construct. In the Report of the Directors to the Pro prietors in September last, they stated that surveys were then in progress for branches to Ashton, Bury, Bradford, and Huddersfield; and since then they have given the preliminary notice which will enable this Company to apply for powers to make branches to Huddersfield, Bradford, and Bury, and which will enable an indepen dent Company to make a branch from this Company's line to Ashton and Stalybridge. Having stated the general advantages that would arise from the formation of these two branches, he went into some of the details respecting them. The Huddersfield branch is 31 miles long, and the section exceedingly favourable. The gra dients and the curves are good. The expenses of the works and the station are estimated at 36,0001. to 38,0001., and the land and general expenditure at 22,0001. to 24,0001., making the probable cost of that line 60,0001., or somewhere thereabouts. These sections will be laid on the table for inspection by the Proprie tors, or, if the meeting desire it, they will be more fully explained by Mr. Gouch. The Bradford line will be 10i miles long from the main line. With the excep tion of an incline in going over a hill which lies between our line and Bradford, that branch will be also favour able as regards gradients. The incline will be about a mile and a quarter long on each side of the hill, and the gradients varying from lin24 to 1 in 33. It will be worked by a stationary engine, and these gradients are not now unusual, and there is no mechanical or prac tical difficulty in making a line or working it with such gradients. The Bradford branch, as I have stated, is IN- miles long. The works and station and fixed engine are estimated at 113,0001. The land and station and ge neral expenses, including a very central station at Brad ford, where the land is high, the land will be 60,0001. ; making a total of 173,0001. or 174,000/. the estimated cost of the Bradford Branch. The estimated cost of the two branches will be from 230,000/. to 240,0001., being about 16,000/. a mile. The resolution, authorising the construction of the Huddersfield and Bradford Branch, was then put by the Chairman, seconded by Mr. Pease, and carried unani mously. THE BURY BRANCH. The CFIAIRMAN stated that the line resolved on for this branch was one passing through Middleton. It will be six and three quarter miles from Middleton, and twelve miles from Hunt's Bank to Bury by that route. The works generally are of a very favourable character. The estimated expense of the works and station at Bury is 76,0001., the land and general expenses come to about 29,0001. or 30,0001, making a total expense of, from 106,0001. to 110,0001. No decision was come to with respect to this branch. TUE ASHTON BRANCH. The CHAIRMAN, with reference to this branch, said that this line was calculated to connect Ashton and Stalybridge with Liverpool ; and that that alone would necessarily be a large and important source of traffic, which would go far towards paying the expense of its formation. In addition to that they had 750,000 passen gers a year between Oldham and Manchester, so the proportion due to the population of Ashton and Staly bridge would be about 663,000 ; and if any considerable portion of the passengers passed along their line, with the economical mode in which we can work these short lines, we can have no doubt at all that there will 1 ..:0 a reasonable prospect of profit. But he did not come for ward to ask them to enable them to make such a line, but simply, that if other parties came forward, and wished to make such a branch, that they would give them every facility in their power, and that they should even go so far, if necessary, as to offer them a limited guarantee of the profits to be realised from it. If the Proprietors did not view it in this way, then, by not sanctioning this re solution. the matter will be left entirely in the hands of the Ashton and Stalybridge gentlemen to take it up or not, as they please. After considerable discussion, the resolution sanc tioning the construction of the line was carried, with only one dissentient. 'the CHAIRMAN then moved the following resolution: —" That the Directors be, and they are hereby autho rised to, adopt such measures, and make such arrange ments with the landowners and other parties as may appear to them expedient, in order to obtain all or any of the Parliamentary powers intended to bo applied for, or which may be expedient to be resorted to in antici pation of those powers, or which may tend to facilitate the subsequent execution of the same." It was seconded by Mr. HOULDSWORTH, and carried unanimously. UNION WITH THE HULL AND SELDIr COMPANY, The CHAIRMAN said they now came to the question of their union with the Hull and Selby Company. That proposition originated with a gentleman, a share holder in both Companies, residing in Hall, and well qualified, not only from his commercial knowledge, and his great opportunities for forming a correct opinion upon the advantages of such a union, but who was also calculated to influence both parties in bringing forward such a matter. When it was ascertained that there was no indisposition on the part of either party to entertain this matter, a meeting took place, and it was resolved that such steps should be taken as would be most likely to terminate in the speedy accomplishment of that ob ject. The terms of that union were then entered into, and some difficulty was experienced in deciding what would be the best mode of union. Three different ways were proposed. The first was to amalgamate the two Companies by incorporating all their stock and capi tal in one body ; the second was that the Manchester and Leeds Company should lease the Hull and Selby line at a fixed rental ; and the third, which was the pro • posal which was ultimately adopted, was, that a union or partnership of the two Companies should be formed —in fact, to constitute out of the two Boards of Direc tors a Managing Board, to manage the joint concerns and business of the Companies ; and the first resolution that we came to in our preliminary arrangements was, that from the Ist of January, 1844, the Manchester and Leeds Railway, and the Mull and Selby Railway should be worked under one management,for the mutual ad vantage of. both companies. That principal was subsequently adopted The agreement proposes that the Manchester and Leeds Company should lease to a new firm, and that the hull and Selby Company should also lease to a new firm, their respective lines of railway, and that that new firm should consist of a Board of Directors constituted of the whole of the Manchester and Leeds Directors, and of two 1)i -rectors from the Hull and Selby Company, and that that Board should conduct the business of the Joint Com pany, using the lines, the stations, and all their engines, and in fact, conducting the whole business; but that as ' it respects capital each Company shall remain as it is now—a distinct individual capital; and that these two Companies shall share in the net receipts of the asso ciated Company or firm in certain proportions which have been fixe.i upon, namely, 161 per cent. of the net proceeds, to be paid to the Hull and Selby Company, and the balance, amounting to 831 per cent. to the Manchester and Leeds C.impany ; that all future capital, including the capital required for the completion of the llunts's bank station, and the Halifax branch, should be provided by the two Companies, in the proportion of their shares in this associated Company, so that in fact each Company remains distinct for all purposes with respect to capital ; and the associated Company works the traffic, pays all expenses, manages the whole of the business, and at the end of each half year pays the dividends to each Company in the proportions already named. Mr. JELLICORSE then read the agreement, of which the above is a sort of abstract. The proposition and plan were agreed to, the utmost confidence being expressed by the meeting in the arrangements made by the Directors. Some other re solutions were agreed to, arising out of the above argument. CHANGE OF THE NAME OF THE HUNT'S BANK STATIZ IN . The CHAIRMAN s a id that a Proprietor hadfin-warded a proposition, in which ho suggested that the new station should be The Vict or i a St at i on, " at unt's on a H ccount b of ank its pro:`eimity to the Victoria Bridge. If there was any feeling in the meeting to christen the station by any more popular name than that by which it was now dosigoated, now was the time. Pt:AsE remarked that it certainly was a very grand station, and ought to be crowned with majesty. J. WooLLAm, Esq., Boroughreeve of Manchester, thought that the name of " Hunt's-bank," as applied to this station, was exceedingly undefined. It was true that it was an ancient name with reference to Man chester, but he did not think it was an appropriate name for this station. He cordially no-reed with the sugges tion of the Hon. Proprietor that the name should be changed to " Victoria Station." Mr. SIMPSON seconded the resolution. The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution to the meeting, observing, that he would suggest that this change should be P.lade with the sanction of the Liverpool Company. The resolution was then passed, with the amendment suggested by the Chairman. THE DIVIDEND?, The CHAIRMAN then rennlFlied that they had now completed the business o' the meeting. He did net know whether An/ of. the proprietors expected that he should give them any statement as to the half-year's profit— (Hear, hear)—but he might observe, that in additionito the 10,000/. which they had divided as profits, the last half-year they had 3,0001. more; so that at present they had a fair prospect of dividing 13,0001. in March next, or an increase of the profits of nearly one per cent. Mr. Entwistle having taken the Chair, Mr. ROBERTS proposed, and Mr. SIMPSON seconded, a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was carried, and the meeting separated.

EARTHQUAKE IN GUERNSEY.—Extract of a letter dated Christmas-day:—" Last Friday, at about ten mi- • nutes to four o'clock in the afternoon, there were two violent shocks of an earthquake, so terrible that people were shaken in their chairs, hearing at the same time a loud rumbling noise is the earth. I had gone to the library, and by the action of walking neither heard nor felt it, but imagine my horror, when I got into the High-street, to rind it full of people, 'all looking up at their houses, expecting them to fall with the next shock; their windows rattled, wardrobe doors that were locked were forced open, doors and gates of houses were seen to shake, all bottles, jars, and earthenware vessels which happened to touch each other jingled tremendously—in short, it was most appalling. I hur , ried home as well as I could through the crowded street, not knowing if I should find our house standing. as it is a new one and slightly built. Thank God, I found all safe, but G— in a most awful state of ex citement. He was writing at the time, and being so quiet, no doubt felt the full force of the shock. I assure you I went to bed in fear and trembling, not knowing but that we might be swallowed up in the night. How ever, it has pleased Almighty God to spare us hitherto. The general opinion here is that there has been sore. dreadful earthquake in France, and that the shock w had was the effect of it." • " BOXING-DAY" REVELRY. -- Yesterday Mr. WA-. ley, M.P., held an inquest at the Western Dispensary, New-road, St. Marylebone, on the body of Thomas Hartnup, aged 25. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased was a sawyer, lodging in Miller-street, Camden-town. On Tuesday last (boxing-day) he went to a beer-shop in the, neighbourhood of his residence, being at the time, rather the worse for liquor, and began " larking" 'with a man named Jones. Jones did the same with him, and coming to close quarters the)' Struggled for the throw, which deceased gained. 00 getting up they again wrestled, when the deceased was thrown heavily on the floor on his back, and immediately complained of being hurt, begging to be let alone. Ile was picked up, when it was found that he was unable to stand, and he was consequently removed on a shutter to the above institution, where he died of the injuries re ceived. Mr. Wellington Poole, surgeon of the Dispel; sary, said that deceased on his admission complained 0 1 the loss of the use of his limbs. He appeared to be , drunk, as did also the men who brought him. Every' thing was done for him which his case required, but h° lingered and died on Friday last—as had been subse. quently ascertained on a post niortem examination being made—of a rupture of the sixth vertebrae of the bacit , and injury to the spinal marrow. Deceased before hie death exonerated all persons from blame, and said that what had happened to him was through pure accident' Verdict, " Accidental death." FATAL OMNIBUS ACCIDENT.—Mr. Higgs held s n inquest yesterday evenin g , at S t. George llospitsh Hyde Park-corner, on view of the body of Ann Mitchell , aged 69, proprietress of one of the Kensington onMi" buses. Mr. George Lucas, of No. 25, Pembroke-squaret Kensington, stated, that about seven o'clock on th e evening of Thursday, the 21st of December last, he vrea, on the outside of a Kensin g ton omn ib us , an d d ecea sed (the proprietress of the omnibus) was seated next to witness, near the end of the seat. While passing along Kensington High-street, and coming from London on ite near side the road, the omnibus suddenly overtook a van. The omnibus passed the van, and pulled up ell to the kerb-stone to set down a passen ger . P resen tly l a went on again, overtook the van, an d s t oppe d a sec on d time. The van then came by again, so close to the omnibus, that the tarpaulin which covered the ver, caught deceased, and swept her off the ed ge o f h er set°' She fell into the road under one of the wheels of al waggon and was run over. She was imm e di a t e ly tail, / to the surgeon's, and from thence con ve y e d to P' George's Hospital. The van belonged to a Mrs. Baker ; of Church-street, Chelsea. The seat o f th e om nibus where the deceased was seated proj ec t s f u ll t en inehe , beyond the roof of the vehicle. Thoma s M on k, o f Es% street, Kensington, contradicted this evidence, an d s tate that at the time of the accident the omnibus was enal vouring to cut in on its near side, between th e van O f the kerbstone. Other witnesses stated th a t t h e d r i v er th e van was alone to blame. Mr. George B a nister , house surgeon, stated that on deceased' s a d m i ss i o n s he was found to have received a large la cera t e d woun d the lower part of the left leg, communicating with comminuted fracture of the bones. Mortification ee; sued, and deceased rapidly sank, an d di e d on &aurae.' last. She refused to submit to amputation until it Wss too late, and died from the effects of the constituti°l l 6 , irritation caused by the fracture and subsequent moral cation. After a very long investigation, the jury /fr o. . turned a verdict of " Accid enta l d eath, " but at the sew„, time censured the condu c t o f t h e omnibus driver fo ie tempting to pass on the wrong side of the road. deceased was a very extraordinary woman.
