Mr. B. F. Scott This line, which will commence at Leicester, and proceed from thence by or near to Market Harborough, Bothwell, Kettering, Wel lingborough, to Bedford, is intended to supply the wants of a very rich and thickly populated district of country lying between Leicester and BNiford, and to afford a much shorter and more direct commu nication between the first-mentioned place and London. The existing and projected lines of railway form the most direct routa from Manchester, Leeds, Derby, Sheffield, Nottingham, and the North of England to London, by way of Leicester, and the present line will be the nearest one from that place to the metropolis which exists or can be projected. The line will pass through the richest grazing land in the kingdom, and will derive a considerable traffic in the conveyance of cattle from thence to the London markets. The coal , -fields of Leicestershire and Derbyshire will supply, by means of this railway, the wants of the counties of Bedford, Hunt ingdon, Hertford, Essex, and Cambridge, in this most necessary article of consumption, which will be reduced in price at least 50 per cent. Se soon as the surveys are completed, a detailed Prospectus with the names of the gentlemen forming the highly influential local Committees, will be published. In the meantime, the promoters are justified in stating that the railway will be made at an average ex pense, and that tho traffic will insure an ample return upon the capital required. The Subscribers will not be liable to any further call until the Act is obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at 4 per cent. upon the amount paid up until the opening of the line. The Directors reserve liberty to themselves to alter the proposed route, or to extend the railway as they may think expedient. Applications for Shares, in the form annexed, may be made to the Provisional Committee, under cover, to the several solicitors, or to Messrs. Peppercorns and Co., sharebrokers, 2, Old Broad-street, London. FORM OF APPLICATION, .IL4 a s: ROWLAND HILL, Chairman. C. R. MACKENZIE, Secretary. London Terminus, May 22, 1845. DINNER T ' , MR. IMLAH. A dinner was given on Wednesday to this gentleman, well known here and in_the north of Scotland, at the British Hotel, Cockspur. street, on his leaving London for America. The chair was occu pied by Mr. Stewart, of Alberarle street, and among the company were —Mr. Thom, t the poet of Inverury ; Mr. Allison, of Alfred. plaee ; Mr. Menzies, Mr. Mouatt, Mr. Christie, Mr. Thomson, of Bond street, and Mr. Adam, of the Aberdeen Herald. About forty gentlemen, friends of Mr. Imlah, sat down to dinner. After the usual loyal toasts, Mr. STEWART, in proposing the health of their guest, said he had enjoyed the acquaintance of Mr. Imlah for more than twenty years, and he had uniformly found him upright In his conduct, warm-hearted, and a sincere lover of his native country, Scotland. He wished him prosperity and a hearty welcome on the other side of the Atlantic. He was sure, if he ever did return to this country, he would be met with the same kind feeling and welcome that he now departed with. He could say many things that would re dound to Mr. Imlah's credit, but as the majority of the company knew him, if not as long, perhaps as well as he did, therefore, he would conclude by proposing " his health, long life, and happiness to him wherever he went." Mr. IsrLatt begged the company to indulge him for the imperfect manner that he should thank them for their kind reception of his name, proposed by his very worthy and esteemed friend Mr. Stewart; their kindness and their friendship, in meeting him, with such a demonstration, in a great measure made up far the re gret he would feel at parting with friends for whom, one and all, he entertaine i the highest esteem. He was at a loss what to attribute this mark of respect to—it could not arise from his station in society, or from any influence he possessed; he was sure he had no " property qualification," but he thought it must be that he was blessed with a heart that was sensiti►ely alive to the ties of friendship, good fellowship, and a love for all man kind. He conc►uded by again thanking the company for their kindness and good opinion of his conduct while known to them, and hoped that he would yet have the pleasure of meeting many of them, and that that evening's proceedings would never be ef faced from his memory. Mr. Anssis proposed the health of Mr. Thom, the poet, who re. turned thanks in a speech full of point and good humour, remark. ing that this was the age of " little poets ;" there was no " great ones." Mr. ALLISON proposed the health of the Chairman, and referred to that gentleman's benevolence, and to his services in the cause of charity, but more especially to that excellent one, the Scottish Hospital, where his name will be found for many years back a sub. scriber to that noble institution. Mr. STEWART thanked his friend for the kind and Battering manner in which he 'announced his name to the company ; he regretted - that they had not a person more able to preside over them that evening than him self, but his anxiety to promote anything to mark his sense of Mr. Imlah's excellent qualities, made him not hesitate in accepting the bon ur of being their Chairman. After a few other toasts of healths, the company left about twelve o'clock, much pleased with the hilarity that prevailed the whole company. Several songs were sung in an excellent manner - MURDER ON THE lIIGII SEAS. — Yesterday, a Liverpool vessel, called the Mountaineer, Captain Bogart, arrived in our river from New Orleans, and one of the crew was imme diately given into the custody of Inspector M'Cully, on a charge of murder. Michael Moore is the name of the party charged, and John Campbell was the name of the unfortunate man who lost his life. Campbell sailed from Liverpool in the vessel as boatswain, but the prisoner was shipped at New Orleans, and having cleared the Gulf of Florida, the prisoner came on deck, and putting his arm round the neck of the boatswain, who was as.isting the mate, Mr. Barrow stabbed him in the abdomen so severely with the knife he had in his possession, that he died in a few hours afterwards. There was no quarrel at the time, and the dreadful act is accounted for only on the ground that the prisoner was insane at the time, be having before that evinced symptoms of aberration of mind. He was, of course, instantly secured, and prevented from doing further injury. The prisoner is a low-set, stoutly-built Irishman, of wild, unpreporessing a ppearance.

ALARMING FIRE IN Cr of.DEN-I. ANE, ST. LUKE'.-- Yesterday morning, shortly after four o'clock, as the police-con_ stable on the beat was passing along Golden-lane, his attention w as midst m aroused by the out b reak of a fire from the 41 'of the workshops in the occup a ti on of Messrs.

In a short time the engines were on the spot. It required considerable effort. however, before the fire Could be got under, nor was this accomplished before a considerable destruction of property took place, including a large quantity of lights which had been completed the night before. The fire ex. tended so rapidly that it was with some difficulty several donkeys in stalls adjoining ti.e drying-house were saved. The fire is sup posed to have been caused by a cat scratching among the lucifers, as the back window was open through which she could obtain in.. press. Mr. Braidwood reports of this fire as follows :—" Front and back workshops burned out, roof of drying-room and contents destroyed.''

All the other observations are made at noon. severest penalties are sometimes meted out for the most venial transgressions of a statute, having regard to cer tain acts in themselves indifferent—and the lightest are inflicted for crimes the most revolting to humanity, be cause of some technical informalities in the indictment, or some error in the pleadings), we little imagined that we should so soon encounter an evidence of the physical existence of one of those unconvicted ruffians who now and then escape in the last crisis, as it were, of fate, the ignominious doom they have justly merited. It is undoubtedly a sound principle of humanity, and of justice as well as of law, to assume any man inno cent, in the face of whatever evidence may have been brought forward to substantiate his guilt, until a verdict of Guilty shall have been recorded against him. At the same time there are facts and circumstances on which, though the cumulative and legal proof necessary to establish a conviction may be wanting, the impression of the public mind is clear and distinct that they are conclusive of the guilt of the accused. We mentioned the case of one " SHEENE," tried many years ago at the bar of the Old Bailey, for the murder of his infant child by cutting its head off. This ruffian escaped conviction at the time, solely by virtue of some worthless quibble as to the technical description in the indictment of himself or his victim—(for. we really forget which). Whichever it was, he had been styled in the pleas of the Crown " THOMAS " for " JOHN," or "JOHN " for " THOMAS." So ciety, it might have been supposed, was in terested only to know—first, whether a murder had been committed upon the child; secondly, by whom; and upon neither of these points was the slightest doubt expressed, either by the jury or the judge. The flaw in the indictment, however, being pleaded by his counsel, was held to be fatal, and he escaped that doom which it would be an affectation of delicacy to suppose that any individual in the country, who had perused the evidence tendered at his trial, ever doubted that lie had most richly merited. In these distressing cases, wht re the meshes of the law may be said to break through after hav ing netted their prey, natural instinct usually deters the monster which has broken out of them from ever ven turing again into their vicinity. So, in those rare cases where a technical informality has overridden the whole force of direct proof, positive depositions, and circum stantial evidence, the lucky delinquent has gene rally been too happy to withdraw himself from the yell of public indignation and the pointed finger of scorn and infamy, in the safe retreat of obscurity and silence. In the police re ports for Wednesday last, under the head of Wor ship-street, we read of a WILLIAM SHEEN, brought up for having assaulted and threatened the life of a re spectable publican. The ease was proved to the satis faction of the magistrate, and SHEEN was bound over to keep the peace, himself in his own recognizance for 1001., with two sureties of 50/. each. These were very readily procured, for this SHEEN, it appears, is a pros perous personage, possessing household property in the vicinity of the office to the amount of more thin 701. per annum. It is further stated that he is the same man, we were going to say, who, having cut off the head of his infant child, was allowed, through the carelessness of the Clerk of the Arraigns, to slip his own out of the halter. We had no expectation of ever encountering this " wolf-head" again. We had thought that even the most obscene and darksome purlieus of Shoreditch and Spitaladds could have vindicated themselves from the imputation of har bouring such inhabitants. But this is an age of surprises. It must be imagined that the public like to renew old acquaintances of however questionable a reputation under any circumstances however startling. For our own parts, we are beyond the reach of such emotions. Nil admirari is the motto we take up with. We should scarcely utter an interjection were we told to-morrow that the injured and scientific experimentalist, Mr. BELANEY, was endeavouring to get enrolled as licentiate in medicine and surgery under a new Charter for " par ticular " instead of " general " practitioners. Yet we do marvel at our law of bail, or the discretion of our magistrates in administering it. To-day a gentleman of great respectability is brought before one magistrate, for soundly horsewhipping the seducer of his own daughter in the person of his brother-in-law, her uncle. Application is made to bail the gentleman who has, under such irrepressible feelings of resentment, com mitted such an act of violence. The Magistrate, Mr. TWYFORD, refuses under circumstances thus - special to accept bail, and asks, with a simplicity quite touching— ‘‘ Why should he ?" To-morrow you shall have a no torious murderer, with no other recommendations but those of his luck in defrauding the public executioner, brought up on a charge of -wanton and brutal assault, without any such provocation of intolerable injury, before another magistrate. The charge is proved to his satis faction, and this Magistrate, on bail being tendered for the notorious offender before him, accepts it with a facility that seems to ask—" why should he not?'

Mr. HILDVARD—It is almost a question which I cannot answer, Sir—l should certainly like to be there.—(Laughter.) The CuentmeN—As far as the Committee are concerned they are ready to sit every day next week. The inquiry is rather Im portant as it affects the public time, and any saving of that time by our sitting will be a great benefit. Mr. BARING WALL—If one is to have a holiday at all, it may as well be had on the Wednesday as on any other day. The CHAIRMAN— As the majority of the Codnsel are agreed to have Wednesday, we shall sit on every day during the week save that day. Mr. Muschamp was then called and examined by Mr. PAGET—Is a coal.owner, residing at Lancaster lodge, county Durham. The witness was examined very shortly to the same effect as Mr. Pease yesterday, namely, as to the present facilities for and expense of, the transit of coals from the pits in Durham to London, and expressed his opinion that the proposed London and York line would very materially increase the coal traffic between South Durham and London, and diminish the cost of conveyance. In his cross-examination by Mr. HILDViRD (who was counsel on behalf of the Midland Counties, the Lincoln and Cambridge, end the Eastern Counties schemes) he deposed that the coal owners had at present tram-roads from the pits' mouths to the different ports of shipment. Group V. SHEFFIELD AND NEWARK LINE. The opponents of the Parliamentary line continued this morn.. ing to call evidence. Mr. Hayne, C.E., sail that the tunnel on the amended line would cost at least from 40/. to 501 per yard. He was acquainted with the stratum through which it would pass, and he did not think it the same through which the Parliamentary line should be made. Joseph Meashorn, coal agent, was called to show which line would best open up the coalfields. His opinion was, that the ori. gin.l line would be decidedly the best. John Boots gave similar evidence. This was the case for the opponents, and Mr. WHATELUT, Q.C., rose to address the Committee—He con tended that his Learned Friend Mr. Baines had not proved a ne cessity for the scheme before the Committee, and that as the valu. able purposes of such a line were exceedingly doubtful, the Com mittee should decide against it. The preamble of the Bill had not been proved, but even if doubtful the Hon. Committee were bound to reject it. The Learned Counsel then entered at considerable length into detail to show that the valuable minerals of the country could not be more easily conveyed by this railway. Group EE. DUNDEE AND PERTH (NORTH) RAILWAYS. The Committee on these lines resumed this morning at the usual hour; the Right Hon. F. Baling in the chair. Mr. M'Veagh examined by Mr. FORSYTH—is a civil engineer of great experience. Has had the estimates given in by Mr. Miller and Mr. Storie submitted to him. Does not believe that the railway projected from Dundee to Perth can be constructed at anything like the sum named by the former, who has considera bly underrated the cast in almost every particular. Mr. Miller's estimate for the Dundee and Perth line is fully 50 per cent. lower, than any other constructed by him. On his own computation there would be 30 feet of base, and an average slope of 1 # to 1 ; the earthwork will comprise 639,000 cubic yards of clay, and 278,000 cubic yards of rock work. On the permanent way he anticipates an increase of 30,0001. above the price stated by Mr. Miller. Madrid journals of the 16th instant have been re ceived, but they bring no news. A rumour prevailed that General CONCHA, Governor of Catalonia, was about to be removed from the command of that province. According to another rumour, a Carlist rising was ex pected at Arragon. Cross-examined by Mr. ANDREWS—The other lines constructed by Mr. Miller, with which he had compared his estimate of the Perth and Dundee, were the Glasgow and Greenock, and the Glasgow and Edinburgh. The former is an unusually expensive line, the earthwork having cost no less than 15s. a yard in some places, and the tunnel. ling was extensive and difficult. Has had no experience, nor has examined the line himself; but he is competent, by assuming the correctness of Mr. Stories evidence, to state positively that his, and not Mr. Miler's estimate, was true. Mr. Enington, examined by Mr. FORSYTH— Is a civil engineer and having been astonished at the great difference between Mr. Miller's and Mr. Storie's estimates, caused five different surveys to be made of the line, and as many computations were sent in of the quantity of work and cost required, all of which confirmed the statement of Mr. Stofie, and contravened that of Mr. Miller. The Three per Cents. closed at 34 3.16 for cash, and 348 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 25 i i at 60 days ; and the Debt without Interest at 81 for the 27th The discussion in the French Chamber of Deputies on ,he northern line of railway has been brought to a close, and the Bill adopted by a majority of 253 to 10. The following are the more important clauses adopted rela tive to shares :—The adjudicati on s h all n e t be valid until confirmed by royal ordinan ce ; t h e company de constituted as a s oc ie te y ap c nrl promises r n e i d ns ee so successful dulyshares authorisedbefore cannot mbeing according to Art. 37 of th e Commercial Code ; the projecto rs o f the company shall have a right only to the reimbursem en t of their advances, and after they have established their claim to the same before a general meeting of the shareholders ; no one can vote by proxy in the board of directors of the Com pany. In case two members, differing from the rest on any point, shall demand to have the question postponed until the opinion of one or several absent directors might be made known, a copy or extract of the minutes shall be sent to all the members absent, with a request to them to come and vote at the next meeting on a certain appointed day or to address, in writing, their opinion to the chairman. He shall read the opinion so sent to the board, after which, the point shall be decided by the majority of the members present ; all publication of the quotations of shares, before the constitution of the societe anonyme shall be punishable by a fine of from 500 f. to 3,000 f. The following clause was proposed by MM. DUFAURE and VIVIEN, and also adopted,:—" There shall be sent to the office of, the Minister of Public Works the register from which the scrip receipts delivered to the subscribers shall have been cut, or a list, stating the reciprocal engagement of the projectors and the subscribers, and the definitive division among them of the capital of the company ; from the date of the delivery of the registers or lists above mentioned, all stipulations by which the projectors shall have reserved to them selves the power of reducing the number •of shares subscribed for, shall be null and void." TI e clause prohibiting the negotiation of the receipts or pro mises of shares, and declaring the subscribers answer able for four-tenths of the amount of the shares, was among the last agreed to, and the Bill passed. Com mittees of the Chamber were engaged in examining the Paris and Strasburg lines, and the branch line from Metz to Saarbruck. The - line from Orleans to T ours , i t was expected, wou ld b e opened in September. The Constitutionnel says :—" Independently of the ships of the line and those of a smaller force appointed to cruise in the Mediterranean for practice, there is to be a division formed of steam frigates. Admiral PencEvAL DEscnciszEs will continue to command the first, and the Prince DE JOINVILLE the second, who will probably have the chief command, if the two squadrons act to gether " Group R. DUBLIN AND BELFAST JUNCTION RAILWAY. Mr. Gibson Craig in the chair, Sir John M`Niell's cross-examination continued by Mr. Alex. ander at some length, respecting several lines he had formerly surveyed, one or two of them at the instance of the Government Railway Commission, and vs hich he stated had much more favour. able gradients than the line now under the consideration of the Committee. One or two of the lines surveyed were inland. The reason why the gradients were then made so slight was the belief, by engineers, that no railway could be constructed with gradients less than one in two or three hundred. To Mr. BOYLE—He surveyed hi 1835 a line between Drogheda and Portadown, at the instance of a Company, called the Great Trunk; he also surveyed, at the instance of the Railway Commis. sion, lines between Dublin and Armagh and Dublin and Enniskillen. He received no instructions as to including Bel fast, Newry, and Portadown. This he was quite certain of, as his instructions were to survey the beat lines between certain points that were set forth. He also surveyed four lines for private Companies in the north of Ireland. Among others, he surveyed a coast line, which at that time was thought to be a mere specula. tion. Events since had shown the value of that opinion. The traffic since that time had much improved. The present line would give the greatest amount of accommodation to Newry, Armagh, Portadown, Belfast, and Dundalk. There were rising gradients for 23 miles towards Portadown, averaging 1 in 210. (LEFT SITTING.) Group FF. The Committee re -assembled this day at twelve o'clock, in Room No. 7, Lord Ashley in the chair, and proceeded with the ad journed case of - THE EDINBURGH AND HA WICK RAILWAY. Mr. CLARKS appeared on behalf of Mr. Walker, a landowner, an opposing petitioner to that part of the line in the parish of St awe. The Learned Counsel had to press upon the Committee the adoption of a deviation in the course of the line. This would save the inte rests of his client and prevent the danger which would, according to the plans, be incurred by the position of a school-house, in pro eeeding from which children would be constantly crossing and re. crossing the line many times in the day. Mr. I'ringle, M.P., having been called to prove the position of the schooLhouse, and the great danger attached to it, stated that a bridge over or archway under the railway, would altogether obviate the difficulty. The slumber of pupils attending being very small, and the country being very thinly peopled, a simple archway ender the line would be quite sufficient. Mr. CLARK objected to the estimates. They were insufficient. (Leer SITTING.) CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) THE lIANOVER JEWELS. The Lord Chancellor, the Master of the Rolls, and the other Learned Judges who have attended the hearing of the case with re spect to the Crown jewels of Hanover, sat to.day again, in his Lordship's private room at Westminster.

BANKRUPTCY -(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner GouLator,) IN RE GARRET, AN INSOLVENT. This insolvent, who was a farmer at Milton, Northamptonshire, came up for his final order, and was opposed on the ground of having made a vexatious defence to an action on two bills of exchange. The insolvent said that he had acted under the advice of his at. torney, who told him there were a good defence to the action. The COMMISSIONER —What, a good defence, when you chose to sign accommodation bills without having any possible means of meeting them. The insolvent said that he had been taken in, whilst drinking a bottle of wine; but he could assure the Court that he did not know of the proceedings till after they had commenced, and then begged nothing further should be done, as he could not pay.

RAILWAY COM MITTEES Group W. WAKEFIELD, PONTEFRACT, AND GOOLE RAILWAY. The Committee to whom this group o f ra il ways was referred, met to day at twelve o'clock in room No 6, to hear the further exami_ nation of witnesses on behalf of the promoters of the above line ; Mr. Pakington in the Chair. Previous to the examination of Mr. Harris, engineer, being re turned, further evidence was, at the suggestion of Mr. Talbot, heard, to show the daily inconvenience which arose at the Nor_ manton station, from the great amount of traffic that passed that station. Mr. P. Clarke was then examined—He stated that he had had the general superintendence, for the three years up to April last, of the York and North Midland Railway. Had the arrangement of the trains at the Normanton station —the power to make alterations rested with him. He exerted himself to the utmost to remedy the inconvenience and delay which arose at the Normanton station, in consequence of the immense amount of traffic which passed that station. The increase of workmen and assistants could not remedy this. If more buildings were erected so as to afford larger accommodation for the re-arrangement of the trains, a little relief might be afforded. He thought, however, that the traffic at present was beyond what could be accommodated con. veniently, and that any increase of it would materially interfere with the interests of the public. By Mr. KNOWLES—Passenger trains from York by the York and North Midland line, are not detained at the Normanton sta stion by the necessity of an engine to take them on. Mr. John Harris, engineer, whose evidence was partly heard yesterday, stated that the, terminus of the proposed line at Goole would be at one of the shipping docks. It was a convenient station for passengers, and was admirably adapted for goods traffic also. There were large warehouses situated near it. There was a branch in connexion with the railway at Goole, about a mile in length, and which proceeded along the streets of the town, and terminated on the banks of the Ouse. The gra dients on the whole line were favourable. The worst gradient from Wakefield to Goole was lin 250. There was a gradient of 1 in 253 in the Midland branch. The Sheffield and Bight branch had a gradient of 1 in 150 for abcut one.half of the line, and the rest was nearly level. The narrowest curve on the pro. posed line was eighteen chains in radius. The remaining curves were favourable and very few. The witness then proceeded to detail the items of the estimated cost of the line. The cost of land was 52,9441.; of fencing, drains, &c., 13,7071.; earthworks, 97,8131.; bridges and culverts, 60,8081.; crossings and road-gates, 5,2571. ; rails, 54,390/. ; (which were calculated at 101. per ton.) The suppurts on which the end of the rail rests was 12,705. This Committee re-assembled at twelve o'clock, in room No. 8, Lord Courtenay in the chair. Soon after the Hon. Members had taken their seats, Mr. HILDYARD said he would feel obliged if the Committee would state whether they intended to sit during the holidays, of which there were two in the ensuing week, one to be devoted to her Ma jesty's drawing-room, and another to the Derby. He would like to know it the Committee contemplated sitting on either of those days. The Derby day was long considered a dies non.

Before that hour, however, the Church Acts Amend. ment Bill had been read a second time, and, on entering the House, The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed his astonishment that such an impoi tant Bill should have been forwarded a stage before he had entered the House, and before the usual hour for commencing public business. On the motion of the Duke of WELLINGTON, the Maynooth Bill, which had been brought up from the Commons, was read a first time, and the second reading was fixed for Monday, June 2. Lord BROUGHAM laid on the table a Bill for securing the payment of small debts, which was read a first time. The Marquis of BREADALBANE :presented a petition from the conference of delegates against the Maynooth Bill. The Earls of CUARLEVILLE and of WINCHTLSEA. both wished that a later day should be fixed for the second reading of the Bill; but the Duke of WELLINGTON was inexorable, and said that the Bill should be read a second time on the 2d of June. Earl FITZWILLIAM moved for a Committee to con sider how far it was practicable to introduce a better mode of valuation of lands taken for railway purposes. Lord STANLEY, on the part of the Government, would not oppose the motion; which, after a few words from Lord BROUGHAM, the Earl of WICKLOW, Lord HATHERTON, and the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, was agreed to. The House of Commons met at Four o'clock, The second reading of the Lady's Island and Tacum shin Embankment Bill was opposed by Mr. REDING TON. On a divison, however, it was carried by a ma jority of 93, the numbers being—for the second read. ing, 113 ; against it, 17. Mr. S. WORTLEY moved—That the following clause be inserted in all Railway Bills passing through the House:—" And be it further enacted, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to exempt the railway by this or the said recited Acts authorised to be made from the provisions of any general Act relating to such Bills, or of any general Act relating to railways, which may hereafter pass during the present or any fu ture session of Parliament. And that the said resolution be a standing order of this House." After a short discussion, the debate was adjourned till Monday. Mr. HUME withdrew his notice of motion for a call of the House. The second reading of the Academical Education (Ireland) Bill was postponed till Friday next, as was also the second reading of the Poor-law Amendment (Scotland) Bill. On the motion that the order of the day be read for the House resolving itself into Committee of Supply on the Navy Estimates, Sir C. NAPIER complained of the manner in which the money voted for building ships had been squandered, and entered at length into the merits of the various ex perimental ships which had been recently sent to sea. Sir G. COCKBURN briefly replied ; after which the House went into Committee, and several sums were voted for the service of the navy, without material discussion. The Chairman then reported progress, and the House adjourned at Half past One o'clock. There was a good deal of sound constitutional doc trine in Lord JonN RUSSELL'S speech of Wednesday night last, on the subject of party. For such a dis course the third reading of the Alaynooth Grant Bill undoubtedly furnished a very apt text, and we hope that Lord INGESTRE will not lightly forget the somewhat severe illustration into which Lord JOHN was so kind as to manufitcture him, of that embodiment of party " which has all its defects, and none of its redeeming good properties." There is a small class of very small politicians, whom it is expedient to instruct in the salutary lesson,' that party, however good it may be in relation to its results and influences on the service and welfare of the public, cannot be tolerated for palpable objects of private advantage. But the remarkable division of Wednesday shows such a singular fusion of parties, such an array of con fused and conflicting opinions on the side of a measure of justice and liberal feeling towards our Roman Catholic brethren of Ireland, that we would fain draw from it an augury of permanent benefit to the highest interests of the public, through the toning down of extreme opinions, the abandonment of personal prejudices and distrusts, and the combina tion of political antagonists in a brave and generous alliance to uphold the institutions of their common country, by giving to all classes of the community a genuine and equal interest in them. Coul 1 we but evoke from the marshalled benches within the House, where men on both sides, for the mutt part, follow as accurately and obediently the tactics of their political leader, as a line of newly-drilled soldiers watch the motions of their fugleman—could we but evoke many such divisions into the lobbies without, we might reasonably hope that the reign of commie sense and truthfulness was at hand. Men would soon be brought into a habit of voting as they thought, not as they were whipped, as it is called in Parliamentary parlance. The principles of free trade would find new exponents, who would awaken, as from a dream, to a sense of wonder at the perverse tenacity with which they had adhered, during many years, to the errors of political connexions, the bond-slaves of monopoly —instead of acting upon the more enlarged views which in these mixed divisions they could not but have learned to appreciate. We should have Colonel SIBTHORP coining forward as an active Committee-man in conducting Railway Bills ; Sir ROBERT INGLIS bringing in appropriation clauses for the better em• ployment of the surplus revenues of Dears and Chapters ; Mr. PLUMPTRE seconding Lord MANNERS' motion for the repeal of the Statutes of Mortmain ; Mr. W. MILEs mooting the abolition of all restrictive duties on the trade in Foreign Corn; and Sir ROBERT PEEL himself agitating for the repeal of his Currency Bill of 1819, and its com plement of 1844. Party must be, per se, quite as good a thing as Lord JOHN RUSSELL insisted that it is, if it can accomplish mutations like these. Were some of the diversities pro duced by the divisions on, and after, the third reading of the Maynooth Grant Bill less extravagant? Assuredly not. Now the moral we would have Hon. Members to collect from these is simply this—having made a be ginning and broken the ice, as it were, in their accidental encounters with former political opponents, on certain common grounds cf political sentiment, influenced in the main, perhaps, rather by a sense of equity, than on calculations of statesmanship, let them proceed to discover and to occupy the nume rous other grounds on which they may meet the just advocates of the more matured opinions on gmi economic and social questions. It would be, doubtless, romantic to expect at any early period the advent of this sort of political perfectability; but we may gravely hope that a few such eh ctrifying shocks as the divisions on the Maynooth question may bring the more intelligent representatives of the people-- Whigs, Conservatives, and Radicals—to discover that there are neither so many nor so insurmountable organic discrepancies of political theories between them, as should necessarily prevent their coming to a better understanding on most of them. And since we give them credit for being equally animated by a sincere de sire to advance and consolidate the welfare of this great empire, let us hope that, in proportion as the im- pression is more emphatically produced on them by occasional accidents of this kind, that it is very possible for them to travel in the same path for the same great and common end, they will acquire the determination to betake themselves to those paths without delay or mis trust. For if the counsels of all the great parties—the popular, the lowest, and the middle classes— the repre sentatives of the trading, manufacturing, and landed in terests of the empire be really excited, what human power can withstand her physical force, her naval great ness, or her political supremacy ? hen - When we very lately animadverted on the strange anomalies and deficiencies of our criminal law, and in stanced the absurd inequality with which punishment was apportioned to offences corning under the cognisance of its jurisdiction (an inequality by reason of which the LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(THIS DAY).

LATER ARRIVAL FROM NEW YORK.—The Southerner' Captain Palmer, arrived at Liverpool on Fri lay night' with papers from New York of the Ist inst., one day later than those received by the last steamer. They do not contain any item of news of the least importance. DETENTION OF THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—The Erebus, Captain Sir John Franklin, and the Terror, Captain Crozer, which left the river in the early part of the week, on an ex pedition to explore the Arct'c regions, accompanied by the Monkey and Rattler steam.ships, in order to tow them off the Orkney Islands, have been obliged to bring up off Aldborough, owing to the fearful north.easterly gales which have of late been blowing, and, up to the last accounts were still lying in the roadstead. The gale of Wednesday night was very severe; a number of vessels parted from their anchors. One vessel, named the Daniel, belonging to Mal.. don, was driven by the fury of the gale on to Pakefield Flat, near Lowestoffe. The crew, finding that she had become a wreck, took to the boat, when unfortunately, on nearing the beach, it cap sized ; three poor fellows clung to the bottom and were saved, but the remainder, four in number, including the captain and mate, perished. - RARE COPIES OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES.—In the last day's sale of a portion of a nobleman's library, on Thursday, an edition of the Holy Scriptures, of exceeding rarity, was sold.
