Shad Thames, Horselydown CUMBERLAND BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.— The annual ball in support of this Institution, took place at the London Tavern, on Tuesday evening. The company which chiefly consisted of ladies and gentlemen connected with Cumberland, amounted to upwards of six hundred in number, and comprised a grand display of beauty and fa shion. This Institution is established for the relief of indigent natives and their widows, residing within the bills of mortality ; and for the maintenance, clothing, and edu cation of their children. It has afforded pecuniary aid to 180 pensioners, and educated upwards of 70 children. It appears, however, that its usefulness is limited for want of a larger share of public support than it at present enjoys. .• • MADRID, JA N. B.—The members of the diplomatic corps of this Court had, on Tuesday last, an opportunity of enjoying the rare sport of a mountain wolf hunt. A party consistin g of Mr. Villiers, the British Minister, of the Count Wain g, and M. Dal Borgo, Charges d'Affaires from Belgium and Denmark, the Marquis of Bassano, and M. Alphonse de Rayneval, Secretaries to the French Embassy. Mr. Southern, Secretary to the British Legation, and se veral other distinguished persons, went to the ridge near the sources of the Manzanares, five leagues distant. The inhabitants of seven villages, glad of an opportunity, of which they had during years been debarred, to attack those quad ruped enemies, assembled in great numbers at break of day, and with the highest glee commenced a battu. Hundreds of various wild animals were soon driven into the defiles, where the sportsmen awaited them ; the slaughter of those four-footed facciosos was tremendous ; nine of the largest wolves were killed ; the long repeated shouts, the echoes from the ravines, the rugged Sierra scenery, the rejoicings of 1,500 persons, the mountain air that wakens man into a new existence, would afford a source of long description. After the fatigue, the party sat down on a green hillock, on a sunny winter's day,, to a collation, where mirth and laughter and eager recital of feats went round ; a long ca valcade then proceeded to Colmenar Viejo, in the neigh bourhood of which villa g e the most terrible bull s f or t h e fights in M a d r id are reared ; each man bore a trophy of the sports of the day, which then closed, leavint , the moon at the full to guide the horsemen back to Madrid. __.

Mr. JONES was called to the Chair. The Rev. CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the meeting, adverted at some length to the alliance betjreen the Church and State. He maintained that that alliance was altogether unscriptural. A single text which sanctioned the doctrine of such alliance, could not be adduced from one end of the Bible to the other. That alliance was alto gether-incompatible with Christian liberty.—(Cheers.) It was this connection, above all other considerations, that had lately induced him tcrresign the living which he had in the Church, though at a great sacrifice of his pecuniary inter rests.—(Cheers.) The Rev. Chairman then called on the Rev. Mr. CRABTREE, as Secretary of the Association, to submit to the meeting the objects which they had in view. The Rev. Gentleman, after a few introductory observa tions, said that the people of England had lately made very great endeavours to obtain the right of elmling their own Members to serve in Parliament.—(Cheers.) That was an object of very great importance ; but the object which they proposed by this Association was one of still greater importance, for it would give them the right of choosing 16,000 ministers of religion ; and by that means they would al so b e a bl e to save some millions of money to the country every year.—(Loud cheers.) The :Rev. Gentleman then procea led to shaw,,that-the doetrine of the King being head of the Church was altogether in consistent with the Scripture. It had not the shadow of Scriptural evidence to support it. It was in vain to affect to make a distinction between the spiritual and temporal headship of the Church. That was a mere quibble. One of the results of this headship was that no clergyman could, under any circumstances, pray in public without the con sent of the King. He must tell them the very words they must use before they can address a single petition, even supposing such another plague as that of 1668 were now raging in this metropolis.—(Paint expressions of dissent, which were drowned amidst cries of " Yes, yes." He maintained that su c h was th e f act. Th e Rev. Gentleman. then proceeded, amidst great cheering, to point tint the ells which resulted from Peers and Bishops having the ap pointment of men to livinus,and concluded by movinga reso lution to the effect that the meeting form itself into an As sociation for the Reform of Church and State. Mr. GOODE rose to second the resolution. He then went on to show the great difference that existed between the Bishops of the Apostle Paul's time and those of the present day. They ought by all means to get the Bishops turned out of the House of Lords ; they had no right to be there.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. Goode addressed the Meeting at great length, and sat down amidst immense applause. Several persons here rose at the same time to address the meeting, and as several of them contended for a priority of right to speak, great confusion and uproar ensued. On order being in some measure restored, Mr. MACONNELL began to addresa the meeting , when he was interrupt e d b y th e Ch a i rman, who asked him what were his sentiments ? Mr. Maconnell said he was a Dis senter of the Independent persuasion. He then pro ceeded to address the meeting. He contended that this ought not to be made a religious question. No man had a right to make him pay for the support of a religion of which he disapproved, any more than he (Mr. Maconnell) had a right to make any other person pay for the. support of his religion. He cordially supported the objects of this Association. Mr. SHOBERL said, that as Mr. Macconneil's prin ciples were so well known to be so much opposed to those on which this Association was founded, it was bad taste in him to come forward and take part in their proceedings. He was for a repeal of all those laws which gave one reli gion a monopoly over all others under pains and penalties. • The resolution was then put, and carried amidst deafening cheers. A petition to Parliament, praying for the Reform of the Irish Church, was then moved and agreed to ; after which, a most extraordinary looking person, calling himself Victoria Nelson, got on the platform to address the meeting. The violence of his manner, and the language he made use of, created a scene of confusion which it is impossible to describe. He avowed himself to be a follower of Johanna Southcote, and would not be put down by the Chairman or any body else. The meeting was eventually obliged to break up without the formality of a vote of thanks to the Chairman. • CURIOUS PHRENOLOGICAL EXAMINATION OF THE HEADS of BELLINI, PAGANINI, &c.—At a recent sitting of the Phrenological Society at Paris, M. Follati, the President, trade some curious demonstrations on the plaster cast of the head of Bellini, taken the morning after the death of that young and eminent composer. From the observations of the Learned Doctor, it would appear that the strong feelinc, and expressi on w hi c h c h aracter i ses the inspirations o f the author of Norna, according to the principle of his (Dr. F.'s) system, is to be attributed to the organ of benevolence, which was largely developed. He ascribed the graceful nonchalance and sweet soft deli cacy of his airs to the smallness of his . organs of " cou rage" and " firmness." If rhythm was generally the defi ciency above all others in the composer's works, if the me lodious expression is brief and appears to want breath, he considered it was to be attributed to the organ of " time" (or the faculty of embracing many objects •at once), which organ was also very slightly developed. This' deficiency was followed by another equally remarkable in the Doctor's opinion —viz., the organ of " construction," which indicates dexterity of fingers ; and, in fact, it is well knOwn that Bel lini was very mal adroit at the piano, even when playing his own compositions. The organs of " time" and " con- struction" are, on the contrary, much more developed in Paer, Rossini, and generally in all geniuses professing the powerful talent of rhythm and harmony; The bust of Paganini, by Dantan, supplied M. Follati with facts not less interesting than the foregoing. Th e organ ofof.' he stated, was d eve l ope d to the fullest extent with tk-, great violiniste, as well as the tactiviti., or firmn" - ss of touch, evinced in his fingering the strings. Th' organ of " time" is deficient, which accords with th? Yemark often made that this prince of fiddlers was neglectful of the strict rules of harmony. The Learned Doctor concluded with out, however, making any Allusion to the bump, or organ of thriftiness, for which his subject is so celebrated. THE EUPRUATgS EXPED ITION. —Accounts from the Euphrates expedition have been received to the 6th October, at which time Colonel Chesney had just recovered from a severe fever. The large steamer was afloat, and it was confidently expected that it would proceed on its way to Bussorah in a few days. She was launched on the 6th September, broadside on, from a height of 23 feet, at an angle of 27 dem ' rees, alo ng th ree s li ps, and went off in good style, with the Turkish, Arabian, and English flags flying, amidst the firing of guns and rockets, to the extraordinary astonishment of the natives to see iron afloat. Colonel Chesney had again experienced unexpected, though not in surmountable, difficulties on the part of the chief autho rities, and he hoped ultimately to get both steamers ready. It was his determination to proceed immediately that one of the steamers should be completed. Lieutenant Lynch had just returned from a mission which he had been to con vey to the Arabs. He was dispatched expressly to coun teract the intrigues set on foot to embarrass the expedition, and had, it appears, been very successful in so doing. We are extremely happy in being able to announce the conva lescence of Colonel Chesney at the same period when we hear of his indispasition. fhe loss of such an able and enterprising officer would go far to damp the spirit of the expedition, though not, perhaps, the individual exertions of the other members. PHRENOLOGY.—We take the following from the Gazette Mcdicale :—" We have examined the heads of Lacenaire and Avril, and these are the results. The face of Avril expresses nothing but a stupid ferocity. Hi s s k u ll presents the following peculiarities :—The forehead is very low, and strongly inclining backwards, being otherwise ra ther open. A marked projection commences on a level with the external orbitary apophysis of the corona], extending and enlarging till it reaches the auditory conduit, where it ik considerably developed. This in craniology, is a decided indication of a thief and murderer. Phrenologists will no doubt avail themselves of this as evidence of the truth of their system. To this, however, the head of Lacenaire forms a direct contradiction. Lacenaire, whose cold-blooded cruelty and want of feeling, under the most frightful cir cumstances, has astonished and disgusted all France, was khreaotogioally endowed w i t h all th e qualities of a good, ind, mild, sensible, and religious man ; holding injustice and robbery in horror, and a b i from bein g an assass i n, n:lced thou san d l e a gues taught by Tills would be wh a t we s h ou ld b e trenology, if we had not facts to correct the Conclusions it would lead us to. Thus, there is a marked development of all the interior and superior parts of the cranium, and as remakable a smoothness of the two sides, and particularly in those parts which are said to correspond with robbery and murder. The organs of good-naturedness and theosophy are remarkably prominent.' OBLIGATION OF MEMBERS TO SUBSCRIBE 11#14 DECLARATION, The LORD MAYOR having called upon the members as they entered the Court to co.no ltwa . to be sworn, Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR had heel t ready sWQrn, in at the Wardmote, and he supposed that a 32 OA 4iv,:)aring-in was unnecessary. The LORD MAYOR stated that if Mr. Taylor refused to sign the declaration, he could not be allowed to take a patt in the proceedings of the Court. Mr. TAYLOR had signed the declaration in the Ward mote, but not until he had been sworn into office, for he had been admitted under no obligation to sign it, and having signed it, he had put it in his pocket, because ho would not let it be carried to the Aldermen who had no authority. .11c, therefore; now produced his declaration in this superior Court, and handed it to the proper officer, at the same time expressing his utmost contempt for its ob ject, which was to prevent the measure of Ecclesiastical Reform. A long list of persons applying for freedom, ender the new Bill, which enables a person to obtain his freedom upon payment of '5/., was read by th e City Cl:amberlai n , an d agreed • THE BLACKWALL COMMERCIAL RAILWAY COMPANY, Mr. WIRE presented a petition froniseveral persons con nected with the Commercial Blackwell Railway Company, praying that the Court would decide upon the course they would take with regard to the .Bill in Parliament on the subject. As it was intended that the Railway should go through several parishes in the City, it was necessary, be fore the Bill could be proceeded with, that the City should either asse4tjipent, or determine to be neuter. Allem - nen LUCAS disapproved of the attempt to take the Court by surprise upon a matter of so serious a nature. Mr. WIRE should move that the petition be referred to the City Lands Committee to decide upon assent or dis sent. All he asked was, that the Court would remain neuter. The Committee would, he doubted not, resolve not to interfere, and then the Company could procure in Parliament a measure calculated to do great benefit to the City. Mr. PRIOR (the Chairman of the City Lands Com mittee) observe'!,, that they might expect another project of a similar I ftnd to be submitted to them. ,siderman LUCAS said, that the expectation of a second project was the very reason why they ought to pause ; and he hoped that the Court would know something of what they were about before they proceeded further. Mr.. WIRE then made an alteration in his motion, wilich then stood thus :—" That it be referred to the Committee of City Lands to consider and report thereon." The motion was agreed to. THE FELLOWSHIP' PORTERS. Mr. GALLOWAY presented a petition from the Rulers of the Fellowship Porters, praying that the Governors should be allowed to admit 100 more porters into the Fellowship, there not being a sufficient number at present to do the ,work which they were privileged to perform. Alderman LUCAS (to the petitioner) —A re the present number of Fellowship Porters in employ ? Petitioner—No ; for some have been smiled upon by Providence. Alderman LUCAS--Are those who do labour fully em ployed ? Petitioner—Yes ; they are emplbye e l. Alderman LUCAS—Because I am told they are not. The LORD MAYOR—IS it the custom of the Fellowship Porters at Billingsgate tb choose their own work ? Petitioner—They have not the opportunity. The LORD MAYOR—Do they not invariably reject heaving and taking up ? Petitioner—ln some instances, for it is not part of their work. In answer to questions from Mr. GALLOWAY and Mr. %%Tzar, the petitioner- said that merchants and salesmen sometimes applied for labourers when they were not to be had, that cargoes sometimes waited half an hour for work men, and that the Rulers were sometimes obliged to compel the men to go to work at.the potatoes: After t few words from Mr. C. PEARSON, An amendment was then agreed to, that the petition should be referred to a Committee to consider and report thereon. ALIEN FREEDOMS. Deputy CORNEY presented a petition from himself and others, inhabitants of Broad-street, against the Bill for allowing aliens to take up their freedom. • Some observations were made upon the singular fact of a member presenting a petition from himself and others, especially when no other of the petitioners was present. The petition was ordered to lie on the table, to be taken into consideration when the Bill was progressing LAW PROCEEDINGS OF TUE CORPORATION. Mr. Firth, the Chief Clerk in the Town Clerk's Oflice, read a long list of the actions in which the Corporation, as well as those in which the Court of Aldermen as a body, and as Magistrates, were engaged. Mr. WIRE asked the City Solicitor whether, as a matter of course, all the acts of the Aldermen, legal or illegal, were defended at the expense of the Corporation ? The CITY SOLICITOR said that he was not aware of any illegal acts committed by the Aldermen. Mr. WIRE stated that there were several actions pend ing against the Aldermen, and he ,wished to know whether they were defended at the expense of - the Corporation with out question. Tile CITY SOLICITOR said. that the matters always came before the Court of Aldermen, and it was there decided whether or not proceedings should be adopted, anti direc tions were given to him accordingly. Mr. WIRE—Do they pay ? Alderman WINCHESTER—I hope the Gentleman does not mean to interfere with the Court of Aldermen. The Aldermen acted as" Magistrates to the best of their judg ment, and whether they were right or wrong was liable to be questioned in a Court of Justice. They were of course liable as Magistrate, Mr. WlRE— f _;ut of what funds were the expenses that might be i'Lcurred defrayed? Ab l :crenan WINCHESTER—Out of the City funds, Mr. WIRE—My reason for asking is this ; there are no other Magistrates in the kingdom who have any fund out of which payment is made for illegal acts. Alderman T. WOOD—That is not the case. Every Magistrate has a fund to go to—the county rate. Mr. WIRE complained that the Aldermen had made a gratuitous attack upon him, as he had made no accusation whatever against the Aldermen. • By the late Rev. J. HARTLEY. Revised by his Son.

Mr. PRITCHARD rose at a late hour and stated that it was his intention to postpone the important questions re specting the Municipal Corporation of the City till to morrow (this day). After a few observations the Court was adjourned till this day, when the subject is to be discussed. About the middle of Tothill-street, Westminster, on the northern side, is a remarkable old-fa:thioned wooden house of two stories, known as the Cock public-house, and which, according to tradition, was built in the reign of Ri chard the Second, and was then, and has ever since been, a house of public entertainment, under the same sign, though in olden days bearing a higher repute than now. The entrance to it now is by a descent of nearly a dozen steps. It is said that the foreman of the masons employed in the erection of the nave of Westminster Abbey lived there for many years. Behind is a spacious coach yard, probably at an earlier period a bowling or archery-green, and it is a well authenticated fact that the first Oxford coach started from this house in the early part of the last century, performing the journey in three days. The pro perty, as well as much other adjacent, belongs to the Dean and Chapter of Westminster Abbey. WHISKY, MADNESS, AN. MURDER.--It iS with pain we record the following most revolting outrage — a description of crime, it is but justice to say, which is still so rare in our rural districts, that it stands in striking contrast to the usual quiet and peaceable conduct of the of bot peasantry of Scotland. On Tuesday, the 12th current, Old New Year's-day, the farm servants of Mr. Murphy, tenant in Barley,. parish of Girthon, determined to intent merry in the - absence of their master, and with t his procured from Gatehouse a supply of whisky. They were ch numb e r deep three in number, and, before they finished thei r carouse, had tes o c f on a sy en e t d s t p h i e ri g ts r . eat T er b r e r ff t e o c f ts tl o ie f same s potations , ariu wrest lingsoon became apparent, and, though . all was fun A we blush ose';:a Holmes, inflicted, by Cl I .c to record.

He ne . it attleked Bryce Auchterson, threw him on the ground Ivlch great violence, and trod upon his breast so heavily with his iron -nailed shoes, or clogs, that life in a few minutes became extinct. Information of the murder was speedily conveyed to the Procurator Fiscal, who, after taking a precognition on the spot, has offered a reward for the appreh ens i on of the offender, who, in the meantime, has fled from justice.—.Duntfries Courier.
