Among the witnesses produced for th e prosecution was a boy named Walsh, who in his direct Z a teination swore distinctly that on the day laid in the indict e4t, to wit the 29th of March, he saw Mr. Duffy at a par (relar spot, , and that he knew him previous to the occurrence. e his eross-examination, however, by Mr. M'Donagh, it Zne out that he never saw Mr. Duffy till within the last 71rve weeks, and that he had actually been brought into Court r u s e the previous day by one of the police, for the purpose of ' l ing himself familiar with the person of the traverser. The trial, which did not terminate yesterday evening, was t r es taned at nine o'clock this morning, and at a few minutes to Z i . r tile jury, without leaving thebrought in a verdict of thtequittal. All the witnesses for the police were ordered by (.ourt to be detained.

THE SUPPOSED MLIIDER AT ERADING READING, FRIDAY EVENING. —The Deu'y-C4 ronn jury re-assembled this afternoon at two o'clei k and proaeded to examine the tollow:ng witnesses:— fie:nu Iloulton, re-examitird—Nl hen I had returned t. picer's house, and after the body had been F xxma,4 d.

On Wednesday morning last I went to Airs. Cook's, where Spicer had worked, and saw the witness William Walden, and he showed me a cupboard that was used by Spicer to keep his tools in. I opened it, and took out a handkerchief, which Walden stated he had found there the day before. I produce the handkerchief. Yesterday I went again to Airs. Cook's, and in the cellar where the work is carried on found an apron. I asked Walden whose apron it was before I examined it. He said it was Spicer's. I took it, and examined it, and found drops of blood upon it. The apron I here produce. I found another apron, on the other side of the workshop, with blood upon it, and Walden stated that he could swear that both the aprons belonged to Spicer. William Walden, re-examined, after heir g cautioned by tl e depu!y-col oner that he was upon his oath, and should therefore hhold nothing from the jury, said, to the best of my belief, these aprons belonged to Spicer. I never wore aprons, and no other workman besides Spicer and myself were employed in the shop whilst we were there. Spicer always wore an apron when he went to dinner. The cupboard was set apart for Spicer's use. David John Cook, living with his mother, basket-maker, High -street—William Spicer and last witness, William Walden, are the only two persons employed in the room under the shop. Spicer always wore an apron, but not Walden. Saw Spicer on Friday afternoon ; his head was between his hands. I thought something was the matter with him. I asked him if it was so, he replied, " No." NAMES OF RAILWAYS. Loneon. Liver pool. Man- I lijistol. j York. cLester. .1 i gheftleld.l Glasgow. Dt blin, lAug.ls. P Aug.ls. lAug.ls. iAug.ls. lAug.ls.

William Walden was here recalled—Spicer came from din ner on Friday before me. I will swear that I have not burnt any letter, saying I did not wish to get Spicer into a scrape. fh-nry Tomkins, a former witness, then came forward and deposed, that on Monday he saw Walden, who said to him, " I have just been home and burnt a letter which Spicer had sent me." John Heather, sergeant of the Rt ading police, said—Walden, on Monday, asked me to read a paper. I could not. It ap peared to me a mere direction and part of a letter. A young man, named Briant, read it. Walden here said, on being questioned, that he put it into his pocket. He found it in the workshop. Afterwards, on being pressed, he said he put it on the fire. He had heard Spicer had been writing to some "gals" in the country. He was further questioned, and stated that a man from Sonning, whom he did not know, brought a letter to Spicer, who was working at the shop last week. He believed he was a little related to his wife. Spicer put it into his pocket, and the man said his wife was corning to the races. The man asked how Spicer's w;fe was? Spicer said first pretty well ; but afterwards said she had had a fall a time back and hurt herself. Spicer said his wife's sister was coming to the races. I am sure the letter was not brought on Friday. The DEcuTY- CORONER then summed up. The room was then cleared, and after the lapse of a few minutes, the jury had returned as their verdict—" That Elizabeth Spicer was wilfully murdered by her husband, William Spicer." The warrant of committal was then made out, and the prisoner will take his trial at the ensuing Lent assizes. 1)o. Quarter Shares.. Do.

Cologne, through which the Royal cortege passed, for the length of a good English league, last evening, en route from he termination of the Anvers Railway to that of the Bonn line, was one vast boner of flowers and garlands, to say n o thi ng o f the nati ona l an d ot h er f l ags with wich the streets were fur nished, as though they had been hung with tapestry. Her Majesty of Prussia pi eceded the Queen to the castle of Bruhl, a noble chateau, about some fifteen miles beyond ColoF ne, e here, a little before eight, the royal, party had again united. Here the British Sovereign was received with most characteristic honours. An orches.ra, consisting of thirty bands, of twenty performers cacti, crashed out the National Anthem of our raanitry, following it with " Rule Britannia," and the tatco, swelling from a wilderness of drums, from piano, till it thun dered in forte in magnificent effect. The court of the palace was brilliant with Chinese lamys, and gay with companies of dancers, who polkaed their good-will offerings as the Eastern damsels of old gave grace and homage. Tuesday dawned with the promise of fine weather, which the noon duly realised. Notwithstandkig the multitudes that thronged Bruhl on the evening preceding, long before mid-day Bonn was one crowd of elegantly and singularly arrayed dames and cavaliers. Here was the recherch6 toilette of Paris, there the coquettish costumes of the surrounding peasantry, and, above all, the picturesque dresses of the students of the Uni versity, strictly fashioned after the mode of the olden time. The town, the most beautiful I have yet seen in Prussia, was literally wanton in holiday decorations. All the streets were lined with fresh-hewn boughs, of lavish foliage, and streamers of all hues, while the principal square, in which is situated the chief hots is and shops of rare merchandise, was a rich draw ing room alfresco. Soon after twelve the ceremony of the inau guration commenced in the monstre place, a square adjoining the cathedral—a vast, august building. One end of it is occu pied by the chateau of the Count Von Fiirstenberg, and here the Queen, the:King of Prussia, and their respective suites, re. paired about the same time from the Palace of Broil). The cele bration consisted of orations, pronounced to the honour of the great musician, who conferred by his birth harmonious immor tality on the place, and the performance of some of his most favourite compositions. Presently the statue, placed in the centre of the square—a fine piece of bronze, representing a figure that might serve for the genius of intellect—was unco vered amid the cheers of the assembled enthusiasts, and the roaring of artillery. This over, the royal visitors came for ward in the balcony, from which they had witnessed the cere mony, and received the grateful welcome of the assembly. His Royal Highness Prince Albert came in for a large share of the popular applause. After the ceremonial, the record of the inauguration was signed by the royal witnesses of it, and deposited in Beethoven's tomb, a solemn and most feeling tribute to genius. After the inauguration the Queen attended a concert, in which many of the most distinguished German artists took part, and subsequently returned to the palace of Bruhl, not, however, before honouring the University with a visit. THE LIGHTING OF COLOGNE AND THE SHORES OF THE RHINE. It was long known that the city of Cologne had provided, from its private resources, the munificent sum of six thousand crowns, for the purpose of lighting up their splendid temple and the noble lines of their picturesque city aux fiords du Rhin, to do honour to the visit of our fair Queen. As soon as the intention of Queen Victoria was formally announced, the preparations were commenced on the most gorgeous scale, and the night of the 12th of August fixed on for the celebra tion of the most wonderful pyrotechnic festival certainly ever produced in this country. Soon after nightfall partial explosions of fireworks from the shipping and the shore began, and continued for upwards of an hour, as the tuning of the instruments precedes the regular performance. At this time also the rain descended thickly and heavily, but in spite of the weather, every coin of 'vantage, whence the mighty show could be commanded was occupied by persons whose appearance gave good assurance of their condi tion. The moon hid her face, as conscious of the rival she had to contend against, and the inky obscurity spread as if to give deep relief to the effulgence about to come. At nine o'clock the passage across the Rhine was put an end to, in consequence of the bridge of boats being opened to allow the steamers to navigate in front of the city board. There were two of the Company's vessels used in the navigation of the river, th e Prin cess of Prussia b e i ng appropriated to the service of the sove reigns of England and Prussia. The hour of ten told harmoniously from the city churches when the river on both its banks sent forth the roar of artillery anti the blaze of ten thousand coloured fires. It was now that the two Courts were gently falling down the stream abreast of the town. Incessantly rolled the deep diapason of the heavy guns of the batteries, and gleamed the glad fire of countless feux de joie. Anon, in front of the grand landing-place, off which the Queen of England's tender yacht, the Fairy, was moored, vast note of preparation was remarked. By gentle but sure degrees from her ports burnt a dazzling lice of lights —the heavens sparkled with a flood of rockets—the towers on the banks of the river blazed up like giant beacons, and the yards of the various craft were manned by the seamen in their holiday attire. The Queen of the Isles comes in the pomp and circumstance of her estate. Hark ! a bell—a quick, sharp, treble startles the ear. Lo !in tracery of rays, such as mines of diamonds, rubies, and emeralds, might have fur nished, that marvel of the olden triumphs of taste and magnificence, the Cologne Cathedral tower bursts upon the wonder-stricken multitudes. The rays of sap phire, and of onyx, and of flowing gold, it strikes dim their vi sion and dumb their wonder. So stricken by a necromancer's wand, on the instant it flames forth in lusty light—a fire of ho nour and of homage such as never yet monarch lighted to the welcome of a brother or a sister sovereign. . . . Haply I may seem to speak of this scene in phrase too highly wrought for sober ears. To those who judge this writing soberly, I can not appeal—to such as had the fortune to witness the event to which it relates, I have but to say, " Alas ! that the vocabulary of language affords no words to record the glories of this night ! The illumination of the cathedral was the catastrophe of this stupendous scene ; and while yet the spirit of its wondrous in cantations waved its rod of fire around them, Victoria passed in triumph, and with many a loving wish and benediction from 'the lighting of Cologne and the shores of the Rhine.'" THE CEREMONIAL AT COLOGNE. COLOGNE, AUG. 14, 6 A.M. About three o'clock processions of the townspeople, mer chants, craftsmen, and others, began to centre on the Ca thedral, and bands of flower-girls in picturesque attire, streamed along the streets garland-laden and crowned with wreaths. Also, as of course, music poured forth strains on all sides, and you had assurance of afdte, if it were only in the radiant faces of the multitudes. At four o'clock the bell of the cathedral sounded. About ten minutes after four the royal cavalcade reached the south tower of the cathedral, and then making a round of the whole building, finished and unfinished as its parts are, the Queen entered it, attended by the King of Prussia, and the royal and noble personages already named as composing her suite. All the authorities of the city, civil and ecclesiastical, were in attendance to receive the august party, which was ushered through the cathedral by its functionaries, who pointed out all most worthy of notice, either for its beauty or historical interest. After spending some time beneath its venerable roof, and expressing unqualified approbation at the magnificence of the scene, her Majesty thence proceeded to view the Museum Trankgrasse, a collection of pictures chiefly presented by Professor Wolkoff, and remarkable as monuments of a school which had its origin from nature direct, without being fettered through the conventialisms of art. The Queen and her illuatrious host proceeded to the Castle of Stolzenfels. Her Majesty remains but one night at Stolzenfels, but making forced journeys thence, is expected to reach Coburg on Satur day, by way of Maycnce and Wiirtzberg.—Advertis-r. SUNDERLAND ELECTION. (From the Sunderland Herald of yesterday.) Yesterday, the polling took place in various public buildings appointed by the Mayor. It commenced at eight o'clock, and the Tories took care to have a number of their friends in waiting, and secured an almost entire monopoly of the voting for some time. At half-past eight, they issued a hand bill announcing the state of the poll, and these they contiLued at intervals, some of the state ments being (as usual) gross exaggerations. Owing to the skilful mar.ceuvre above alluded to, Colonel Thomp son was at the outset lowest on the poll ; and we regret that his friends were not able to gain him a better position during the day. Shortly after twelve o'clock it became certain that the popular candidate would be defeated by a majority of votes, though the most active exertions were still persevered in to promote the Colonel's return, or, if this were not possible, to lessen the majirity of the Tory and monopolist candidate. No statements were issued by Colonel Thompson's Committee, and this occasioned much disappoint. ment. The town was during the afternoon and evening in a very excited state, but no breach of the peace had occurred. At the period of our writing immense crowds are collected in the front street, who vociferously cheer the Colonel's leading supporters, and hiss and groan at (they have gone so far as to pelt with sticks and stones) Mr. Hudson's active friends and even the coachmen who drive the " flys" engaged for the purpose of bringing up voters. So far as we can ascer tain (and we have taken great pains to do so correctly) the state of the poll at it§ close was as follows : Hudson Thompson Majority -128 GLASGOW ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.—It will be seen, in reference to the advertisement in another column, that a singularly interesting work is about to be published, by subscription. It is a republication of the old Glasgow Courant, from the 14th of October, 1745, to the 13th of October, 1746, which gives a comphite de , ail of the movements and romantic adventures of the Pretender.

He is the son of Professor Meikleham, and is in possession, we believe, of the only copy extant.

WIREWORM. — The following circumstance con nected with this pest may be possibly turned to a good ac count. In February last I planted three gallons of early Cornish kidney potatoes in good soil, under a wall having a southern aspect ; to my surprise, only one or two had made their appearance up to the middle of May, and by the 2.c1 of June three or four more, without the smallest indication of any further vegetation over the whole border. On examining the rows, to my surprise, the remainder of the sets were nearly filled with live wireworms, the potatoes having the appearance of being drilled all through with an augur of the size of a quill. Now, does not this tend to show, that by leaving a few refuse turnips, potatoes, carrots, &c., in the fields in autumn, covered with soil, that these destructive insects may be de stroyed in great numbers in the spring by stocking out the roots, and carrying them to a heap of quick lime ?—Lincoln silsino Citroniel4. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. S IT __,..;.:.,./..z..,........_ __,:.,......, NORTH KENT RAILWAY. (FRO3I A. CJHR ESPONDE/CT. ) DOVER, A LTG 1:3.-_A very numerous and respectable rucet ing of the t. wn was held this day in the Town-hall forth pur pose of dieussing the merits and deciding on the propriety of supporting the Bill propsssed to be brought into Parliament mat session by the North Kent Railway Company. The Mayor presided with his u.ual good tact and judgm i ro, and deputations from both the North Kent and the South-,Eastern directions attended, the one to promote the Bill, the other to avert so strong an attack on their vested interests. Four reso lutions were passed unanimously in favour of supporting the proposed North Kent line, direct from London to Dover. A vote of thanks to the Mayor was then proposed by Sir John Kirkland, and seconded by Mr. Rice, which hit Worship acknowledged in appropriate terms to the meeting. The feeling in favour of a direct independent line from London to Dover, and that the inti rests of the town had beers grossly neglected by the South-Eastern Directors, was very strongly manifested. '1 he d.putation from that body slid all they could to allay the feeling that prevailed, Lot their efforts were ineffectual. DIRECT LONDON AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY. TO THE enizoit OF THE MANCHESTER MIES. SlR,—Although the gentlemen del uted to itinerate in sup port of " Remington's Line" favoured me in their speeches wnh a large porno of their attention, I should nut have asked leave to appear in your teitilens it you heti not iieerred iron' the Railway Express a long paragraph palpably wr it ten to influence th e p r i ce o f t he s t ares, and wound up with the inju rious imputation upon me w hich I shall presently quote. To the gentSernen who spoke, my thanks are due for the manner in which they were pleased to speak of my perselial character, irrespective of my supposed dealing with what is called Remington's Line. I am the more indebted to them, because nearly all who re- ferred to me were professionally interested in su e potting the scheme they advocated. They doubtless spoke as to Mr. Re mington's Line what they believed, but they were in error. '1 he paragraph you have published from the Railway Ex press, and of which I complain, is as follows . " Here we would gladly pause, after having thus glanced at what are the m„st striking features of this railway, but a sense of justice compels us to notice what cannot be considered ether than sharp practice' on the part of fur. Ashurst, the promoter of a competing line. In 1836 Mr. George Remington planned the Direct London and Manchester Railway which bears his name. In 1840-1 he carefully surveyed the greater part of the country through which it will flays. Lung after this Mr. Ashurst announced his competing scheme, the avowed inten tion of which was to connect existing and projected lines be tween London and Manchester. Ire found that Remington's Line'was the favourite, as it deserves to Le ; and he does nut hesitate to ' appropriate,' not the leading features of that line, but the actual line itself. This is stealing the tesom ready made. " It is pretty clear that this manner of doing business will not answer. We believe that public feeling is against the, ruse. But the very fact that the promoter of a competing line throws his own plate overboard, and coolly appropriates the rival one, is the very best, Lecause the most unsuspicious and involuntary compliment which could possibly be paid to Remington's Lon dsn and Manchester Direct hallway." The facts, as to me, are these : In 1840, an advertisement appeared announcing a Company for the formation of a railway from Manchester to London. After some time, the movers, who were unknown to the Manchester trade, found it necessary to apply to some of the gentlemen connected with that trade in London to support them. They were referred to me by some of the leading houses in the trade, here, and I was requested to report my opinion, not of any line, but of the propriety of their uniting with the applicants. Before I was able to report upon the prudence of men with capital and influence, uniting with men not known to possess either, I was sent for to a meeting of " the Board" in Cornhill, and was told that the landlord was urgent for his rent ; and I was asked to pay that rent and take the Solicitor ship of the Company. I declined the office, but made the advance, that 1 might have time to report. The result was, that a union was not thought desirable, and the matter died. Mr. Remington's name was used on that occasion. About this time, in the year 1844, Mr. Alulock advertised that he had taken up Mr. Remington, and intended to form a Company. Mr. Alulock also found it necessary to obtain the support of the trade ; he sought it, and was referred to me. He came to me, accorreaanied by Mr. W e dl a k e, o f the firm of Cl owes , Orme, and t Wedlake, the well-known and respectable solicitors, in London. In consequence of this, I again had an interview with the principal houses in the trade in London; and they gave me in troductions to many of the leading firms in Manchester, whom I saw on the subject. On my return, 1 made my report to those who deputed me; and they.resolved that it was not desirable then to form a com pany. Mr. Alulock and Mr. Remington thought differently, and they advertised a Company, with the names of gentlemen as a Provisional Committee, who afterwards resolved that the Com pany should not proceed. During all this time the only question was the propriety of forming a Company, not the merits of Mr. Remington's choice of a line. The gentlemen who instructed me knew, without the aid of either of tie, that a straight line is the shortest, and that the straightest practicable, would be the best, and this of itself fixed the route. The document which was then prepared by me, and signed by many of the leading houses in the trade, and is in my pos sess:on, simply stated— " That a more rapid communication between London and Manchester by railway is of the highest necessity. "'That it is of paramount importance to the trade and mar u factures of the kingdom that such communication between the metropolis and the northern parts of the country should not be dependent upon one line of railway only." These statements the subscribers understood and could make. It would have been absurd and bootless to have asked mercantile men to express an opinion upon the engineering merits of a line of railway not in being. Mr. Remington informed me that he had not surveyed the line he suggested, but said that he had gone over the coun try so as to enable him to say with confidence that his line was the only line that could be formed, and I believed it. He was naturally anxious to obtain the appointment of engineer, but he was unknown to the parties by whom I was requested to act, and they were desirous, if the matter proceeded, to have the line to be chosen approved by an engineer more generally known. He was unwilling to have this reference made, except to one gentleman, and the matter ended. It is fortunate for me, now that the absurd imputation is made against me of " filching" his line, that I have found the map of the line which he issued in 1840, and on comparing it with the map he now issues, 1 find that the two are essen tially different. In 1840 his line ran to Leicester, taking the Midland Coun ties Railway the whole distance from Leicester to Derby ; re suming at Derby it proceeded to Leek and Macclesfield, neither touching Cheadle or Uttoxeter. His present line does not touch the Midland Counties, and does not go to Derby, and whoever knows anything of the country, or has Mr. Remington's present map, can see the important and extensive change which this necessarily makes between the two. Ile has, then, so far as making red lines on a map gives title, entitled himself by a cheap and easy proness to two lines, and his friends accuse me of filching one, but do not condescend to say which. They at the same time proceed to show a motiveless plunder for a valueless abstraction, by ac cusing me in a second count of not publishing any line. As to his first line, Mr. Remington said it was impossible to make a better, and I have his printed plan before me, asking in 18-10 four millions to make it. To make his second line so essentially different, I have his plan and prospectus before me, asking for three millions to make it. I have also before me another of his prospectuses, asking for a capital of five millions to make it. If, as he says, he has carefully gone over these various and differing lines, his judgment must be sadly at fault. Had the trade determined to avail themselves of his services, it would hve been necessary to have drawn .his attention to these serious variances, but that necessity did not arise. Mr. Remington's friends have, in their speeches, con founded the formation of a Company with the drawing of a line on a map, and have assumed the childish absurdity that to ride a line on a map, gives a title to the line of road and to the office of engineer. So far from taking either of Mr. Remington's abstractions, I have not even been guilty of the sin of originating " The Direct London and Manchester Railway Company," which is really the offending point. In this year Messrs. Sudlow, Sons, and Torr, as they assure me, without knowing anything of Mr. Remington or ever hav ing heard of his lines, registered and advertised, without my knowledge or privity, a Direct Line from London to Man chester. They also applied to sonic of the principal houses in the trade, and were referred to me; and then, and not till then, did I hear of it. I might then, as Mr. Remington did, have registered another Company by adding another word to vary the title, but I was not guilty of the folly of endeavouring to establish two Com panies for one purpose, and of wasting the fonds of both; but as the trade here was of opinion that a direct line must, and ought to be formed, with the consent of Messrs. Sudlow and Co., my name was added to theirs, and I was requested to submit the views of the trade here to their friends in Man chester, which 1 did—received their authority in writing again, as the house here thought that signatures given a year before ought not to be used when circumstances had altered, and opi nions or interests might have changed. so far from adopting either of Mr. Remington's lines, the Managing Committee of this Company determined to have a line surveyed for themselves, and they gave authority to Mr. Rastrick to personally survey the country, and give them his opinion of the best direct practicable route for a line. If ruling a line on the map between given termini constitutes ownership, I admit Mr. Remington's title to as many lines as he rules, and I have not interfered with his efforts to realize them. His friends confound the formation of a Company with the making, or rather the marking, of a line, and scold me be cause the trade have themselves formed a Company. That is the cause of a thing without which it would not be. If Mr. Remington had been appointed engineer to the Corn pany they would not have heard of this preposterous claim to exclude the engineering world from an important tract of coon. try. But, because a young man has published a map with a line ruled upon it and has asked the public to grant him, first four millions, then three, and afterwards five millions to realize his crotchet, he argues that the country for railway purposes is tabooed to all other engineers. Now suppose that previously to the formation of our great railways some aspiring tyro had published a map with an im possible or a singularly difficult line, had then contended that the London and Birmingham, and Great Western Companies, were bound to take him as an engineer, and that the gre a t minds of the engineeri n g wor ld oug h t to be: shut out from the country he had marked upon his map, would the railway world have listened to such insane drivelling? And could those who contended for so wild a theory have hoped to sus tain their characters for sanity whilst upholding it? Verily those who hold such twaddle in the Tewn-hall of Manchester, sink in intellect below Johanna Southcott, for she addressed herself to the ignorant, but they go to the Athens and the Areopagitas of railway science to publish their fatuity. Mr. Remington cannot be ignorant that in 1840 many ob jections were mooted against his line, and that, amongst other serious objections, it was stated that it required at one place an embankment eighty-one feet high, and three miles long, and would have taken eighteen years to form it. Being accused of stealing his brains, I am bound to repel the accusation ; but I confine myself to the widely different sums required upon the face of his own advertisements to show that their product was not worth stealing, and that as those for whom I acted have capital and character to lose, it was my interest to avoid committing them to a gentleman whose reputation as an engineer has yet to be won, and to steer clear of a line pre sented by its parent in so unformed a state that he did not know, when he offered it for three millions, that it would re quire five to mature it. Mr. Remington, or the friend who wrote the article in the Railway Express, says I stole the " besom ready made." I assure them 1 have not stolen the embankment spoken of. I do not affect engineering knowledge, but, irrespective of the embankment alluded to, a very moderate quantity of caution would induce any one to p a u se , ere h e advised a Company to adop n t a a m p e l d hdanaforbweahn asked by its ichsumssow pa id re e n a t. s those Mr. Remington has I have not, until thus assailed, said a word depreciatory of this gentleman's plans, for railroadsyc:ia willna dr feeln s o t t e a m tlhi a na d gt b b , r fi s nl • e gh r b aa a ed l e lu s es q fet u d a t b hoe - f p h i t . i a t et t ic a e m ,,, s , u , r fi eaa in t imputations unnoticed, might, and should probably, h a ve been taken to have admitted because I had not denied, charges made in language so gross and injurious.

The large halt was hung with white linen, on which were airangtd with taste garlands of flowers and green wreaths. At the end of the hall Was placed the King's bust, surmounted with tricoloured fisgs. Covers were laid for 260 persons, and the Mayors of St. Pierre and Mczidon occupied the chairs of honour. At the right of Legrand sat Zll. Guizot, and at the It ft the Pre feet of the department. At the dessert the health of " Th s e King" was dru n k with great enthusiasm; after which M.

Guizot." This toast was received with a tripl e salvo of acclamations, and when silence was restored M. Guizot rose, and spoke as follows : " Gentlemen,—l am deeply affected with the kind .sentiments which your Honourable Chairman has just expressed owards me. He was pleased to say that Sou had ardently desired to see me amongst yon, and 1 can truly affirm that I also was anxious for the same event. Circumstaeces independent of my will have alone retarded the period of our meeting, and I congratulate myself on seeing it at last arrived. I thank yon for your most affectionate reception, and for the lively interest which your chairman has expressed to ree in your name, for my success in the struggles which lam called on to sustain. Let me, however, be permitted to use a different language from that cf the Hon. Gentleman. These struggles, so warm, and sometimes so rude, have never drawn from me a complai n t, and never shall ; it is the condition of public life in a free country. Alen whom the world venerates, and by whose side I should hold it the greatest honour to have my name one day placed, have been attacked, abused, and calumniated in precisely th e same way. They not the less continued to serve their country; they no: the less are honoured with its regret. We have no right to pretend to a less difficult task, and the end towards which we tend is well worth the trials which we sustain on the road, which it is necessary to pass over in order to attain it. Besides, gentlemen, if I am attacked I am supported. This meeting, which I see around me; the feeling which pervades it ; the sentiments manifested towards me—is riot all this a great, a strong support? That in the midst of you, gentle men, that I could think of uttering any complaint, or ma nifesting any app earance o f fatigue? And, in the very centre of political life, in the great assemblies which have the honour of representing the country, that adhesion which the policy that uphold has met with, the fidelity, the firmness with which, even quite recently, and in moments of the utmost difficulty, the Conservative party has maintained thi s p o li cy, do not permit a man of courage to f e el th e slightest discouragement, or utter the faintest murmur. Certainly there is in all this the means of supporting and of overcoming many and many an attack.— ( Loud applause.) Shall I say it, gentlemen ? I consider that, towards the Opposition, the press, and the jour nals, there are manifested at the same time an inclination to exact too much, and too much timidity, From them are de manded an impartiality, a moderation, a justice, which are scarcely compatible with our reciprocal situations and the nature of our governmeet. They have their passions, and we ours. Let us accept and tolerate our mutual liberty, in place of complaining of it. The more I have mixed in public life, and practised the constitutional regime, the more I have become convinced that the liberty of discussion and the liberty of the press had certain outbreaks in a great meature inseparable from their very existence. Ido not believe these to be more excessive amongst us, and in cur day, than they have been elsewhere, and in other times ; and if it is just, if it is indispensable, to repress them when they meddle with sacred matters, which ought to be above the reach of all attack, let us ourselves endure them without emotion, and with goad grace, in the customary course of our labours and our com bats. This is a portion of the movement, ef the activity of public life, and, all matters considered, the result is pro ductive of more benefit than mischief. But, at the same time that I accept frankly and without complaint the liberty of the political press, its wild flights, and its acts of injustice and severity, I most assuretlly regard as a necessity and a duty to preserve with respect to it the most complete inde pendence —not to allow myself to be influenced either by its advice, or by a desire to have its praise, or by any fear of its attacks. I endeavour on all occasions to pay attention only to things themselves—to the true interests of my country, such as my reason sees and judges them, and I pay no atten tion to what the journals may say of me. Three is no digni fied and sensible policy but on this condition.—( Applause.) Permit me, gentlemen, to recornmes.d 3ou to do the same. Let me beseech you, who approve of my principles and share my convictions--you, soy political friends, to accept frankly the liberty of the press, to read the jeurnals without b. ing surety ed at them, and without complainie g of tle it eteir,ele ss arid their violence. But guar.! waits respt et to ti em the . •.u.l in dependence of your opinions; judge political men not according to what is said of them, but from your personal knowledge of their character and their previous conduct. Estimate political acts, not from the picture drawn of them by the press, but lifter their results in the country, and for the country. Indulge in no feeling of anger or ill humour against all the movement, all the noise, which the press raises constarely about ; but place confidence only in facts—in your oven jueg merit. In that way alose you will be neither the dupes nor playthings of any one ; and you will succeed, with a little coolness and patience, in beholding men and things as they really are. Let us at the present moment make trial of this method. Let us forget all the polemics of which the policy that I have the honour of sudporting has been, and still is, every day the object. Let us considt r that pokey not in the points of view that may be taken to attack or defend it, but in the facts already accomplished by it, in its general, acquired, and evident results. What was the wish of all of you, the wish of France in 1830 ? To repulse an unjust and senseless aggres sion on our,laws and our liberties ; to assure the just share of the country in the government, and its dignity in the world; to render our constitutional regime at home and our honour abroad perfectly independent; to make by necessity, and not by ca. price, an obliged and decisive act of sovereignty at home, and of national independence abroad, and at the same time not to return to the path of domestic revolutions and foreign war ; to maintain order by securing liberty, and to preserve peace by disposing ourselves by ourselves alone and completely for our government and for our country. Was not that, gentlemen, I ask you, in 1830, 1 will not say the well-considered and closely -reasoned intention, but the spontaneous desire, the general feeling, the true instinct of all present at this meeting of our department, of the whole of France?—(Loud applause.) Well, then, Gentlemen, fifteen years have passed over since these great days. We are not mere men of yesterday ; we have a right to speak from ac quired experience and from accomplished facts. What has come to pass? What has been done since 1830? At home, representative government and the constitutional regime are displayed, and continue every day to display themselves freely and extensively. The country takes part regularly and effica ciously in its own affairs, with the concurrence of the great powers instituted by the charter. This. is truly constitution a l government; this is monarchy according to the charter.— ( Applause.) Public liberty is every day practised, proved, and developed. You attend the sittings of the Chambers ; do you think that there is anything wanting there as to the freedom of speech ? You read the journals ; does the liberty of the press appear to you to be shackled ? You have frequent elections ; do you perceive that they are the work of corruption and violence ? Because I have sometimes assisted you in the repairs of your churches, in the construction of your parsonages and your schools, in as suring a career to your children, have you, therefore, ceased to vote freely and conscientioudy ? Do you feel that you are cor rupted men ? Have you not, on the contrary, the conviction, the certainty, that you profit by, and enjoy with entire security, all your liberties and all their fruits? And, abroad, do you not see clearly and positively that the great end of the Act of 1830 has been attained, that the Government of our country is not only perfectly independent in Europe, but that Europe, both the governments and the nations show us great respect, and, under all circumstances, treat with us seriously and pro perly Have not the great questions that have been brought forward, and:the way in which they have been resolved, fur nished a convincing proof of the just influence that we exercise, and of the just respect that is paid to our interests and our views ? And those constitutional states which have been formed around us, which Euroi e has respected like ourselves, which have established themselves, and are gaining strength daily under favour of the movement communicated, and the order maintained by us, which, in founding or modifying their institutions, study to resemble ours, Belgium, Spain, Greece, are they not so many' living proofs of the action, the influence, and, I think I may add with legitimate pride, the merited ascendancy which France and her Government exercise abroad, to the profit of a liberal and modest policy. which can appreciate at once the new wants of mankind, and the internal conditions of social order? All this has tak e n i place, and is taking pl a c e every d ay, wit h out v i o l ence and without war. We have succeeded in consummating a revo. within and p e a ce w i t h out , an d to t h e grant legitimacy of h er lution, and in foundi ng a new government bteudr of fn suchlavv results are added th e mo d erat i on an d Conservative anl i polies,n t heir essentialm eans featuresS u ch, gentlemen, ar e are the facts as they woul e t which we practise. Such called upon appear the first time. I do not hesitate to to regard them forr h just and allowable pride, for it is of our say, and I say it with of ur entire Government that I speak, to a new spectator, who should be country itself and this policy, Yes! there is ground gentlemen, these grand facts, these grand results —splendid and of proud o satisfaction in- honourable in themselves, useful and fruitful for our children as for ourselves, which have produced for the present time and for the future so much security, liberty, and prosperity—all these are the work of the country and of its Government, fi rm ly united, and moving together on the regular path of our institutions. It is to the King, gentlemen, it is to his wisdom, to his enlightened and inexhaustible devotedness, i o n r k theiroe the ens emble that are due the first homage of public gratitude.—(Cries of Bravo,' and Vice le Roi.') The wisdom and devotedness of the King are the more precious from his inculcating them daily into that noble Royal Family, into the minds of those Princes who have already sought for and found glory in the service of France. Let our own devotedness and attachment gentlemen, be the just reward of the devotedness of the Royal Family ; let the royal wisdom be aided and facilitated by our firm support ; let us persevere, in concert with it, in one policy of peace and Conservatism. The principle of consis tency and perseverance is the first necessity of all governments and the greatest; difficulty of free states. Let the Conserva tivemus most party n r s t e a t n t f h i e n r e e x r a e m s r p . e e , v a e n4 f o a u m r m l y o i s n t simplee d a e ss t w e e x l s t a e s n o u u e r . as well as the statei n its glorious destinies, will reap the same fruits and the same honour." This speech was followed by three rounds of applause. M. Guizot was accompanied bark to the house of the Mayer by the whole of the electors. He' subsequently visited the church a St. Pierre-sur-Dives, and returned to Val-Richer at seems o'clock. W. 11. ASITURST. p.S._Since writing the above, I have had put into my hands the Morning Herald of the 23d of May last only, and I there find that 111 r. Remington advertised his line, and asks for Two Millions only, in 40,000 shares of 501 each ; and I have also had brought to me a prospectus, issued by him in l for a Direct London, Manchester, and York Railway. For this he asks Seven Millions. Have the York Company stolen their line from him? By asking severally two, three, four, and five millions for his proposed excursion to Manchester, he proves that, apart from the morality of the thing, it would be egregiously foolish to Meal any line from so variable a Genius. The King of Denmark has just created a new order, consisting of a medal with the King's effigy on one side, with the inscription " Christian VIII.," and on the reverse the words, " For Merit," surrounded with an oaken wreaps. The muse of the recipient is to be engraved on the edge. • 10 3 A - 6% 2 1 % NOTICE TO MARINERS. Admiralty, Aug. 14, 1845. Sir,—l am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to transmit to you, for information of the Committee for managing the affairs of Lloyd's, a copy of a public notice from her Majesty's Consul at Elsinore relative to the Falsterbo light vessel. (Signed) W. A. B. HAMILTON. To W. Dobson, Eq., Secretary, Lloyd'a. NOTICE. The Royal Swedish and Norwegian Consulate at Elsinore, July 22, 1845.

From the light ship (which will be moored in six or seven fathoms water) Falsterbo Light house will bear N. N. E. E. (N. 28 deg. E.), with Falsterbo and Skanor Churches nearly in one line, and Stevens Light N.N W. W. (N. 72 deg. W.), all magnetic hearings.

GAMING- lIOUSES.—In the new Act concerning games and wagers there are several provisions respecting gaming-houses. In order to remove the difficulties which have arisen on prosecutions, to prove that the house alleged was a common gaming -house, it is now provided, that in the absence of other evidence it shall be sufficient to show that the place is kept open or used for playing therein at any un lawful game, and that a bank is kept there by ono or more of the players exc'usively of the others, or that the chances of any game played therein are not alike favourable to all the players, including among the players the banker or other person by whcm the game is managed, or against whom the other players stake, play, or bet, and every such house or place shall be deemed a common gaming house. In places out of the jurisdi c tio n of the metropo litan police magistrates may issue warrants to officers to enter houses. Persons keeping gaming -houses, and every person having . the care or management of the same, and also bankers, croupiers, &c., may now be summarily convicted, and fined 100/., or sent to prison for six months, and on non-payment of penalties a warrant of distress levied on their goods. It shall not be necessary in future to prove that the persons found playing were playing for any money, wager, or stake. The Commissioners of Police may autho rise a superintendent and constable to enter gaming -houses, and to seize all instruments of gaming, an d t o take i nto cus tody all persons found therein. Search may be made for in strutnents of gaming. In proceedings to be instituted after t h e p as sing of this Act, !t shall be sufficient evidence to show that there were cards, dice, balls, counters, tables, or other instruments in the room entered, or on the person seized, al though no play was actually going on at the time, and all such things shall be destroyed , Witnesses examined on gambling transactions are to receive from the magistrates before whom they are called certificates of indemnification. THE SMALL DEBTS ACT.—The difficulties in either understanding or following out this incomprehensible and hasty piece of legislation are only just beginning to develope them selves. Yesterday, at the Bankruptcy Court, Mr. Sturgeon applied for a summons against a debtor, who resided at Hat. field, some seventeen miles from London, but a difficulty arose as to the party who was to serve the summons and the amount of remuneration for his labour, and for his own part he was free to confess that be did not understand the Act. Mr. Com missioner Fonblanque said he should much wish to know who either did or coulol understand it ; but, with respect to the ser vice of the summonses, that must be done by the officers of this Court, and the 3s. 4d. (only) allowed for such service must be increased upon taxation of costs.—[A journey to Hatfield and back to b e performed for 3s. 4d. !] LoisenviTY.—There is at Present in Glasgow, where she has been for upwards of EO }ears, a woman named Davidson, a native of Ireland, who is said to have attained the venerable age of 104. She may be seen begging almost daily in various parts of the city ; hut, although in very poor circum stances she ha s never received charity from any benevolent in tit ution. Of course, she is not free from the infirmities at tendant on extreme oil a ge , but in other respects she enjoys tolerable health. She resides in the New Wynd with her daughter, who is a great-grandmother.— Glasgow Citizen. 2% 3% 2% 2% 193 / 4 63 4 P ..._ YsP 3 1 A 25 1 / 2 111% 2 4p i isle 24% 7% VA p 4% 2% 23 / 4 8 4% 196 1756% P 264 135 23 1 A 31 83% 3% 71 / 2 2 31/ 2 393/1 1 p 3% 30% 5% 15 8 1% 5 1 4 - 3Si 23% 96 1/2 10% 97% 11% 65% _ 31/t F 213. 6d. 234 15 % 142 a. 6d. 26% 16% 15 3% 5% 4% 10 1 4 814 8 1 4 4'A 4% 17/. - 18:td, 25% 23% 304 8 4 32% 2( 43/ 3% 1967. 6d. 7 % 40% 16 1 4 121;2 58s. 9d. 31/ti! 2% 16% 3r e 3% 3% 3% 8% 2 1-16 3% T% PI 171 s. :id. 15% - 2814 Lc e4s. n nil. !Hudders field. - - - 1.Aug.15 lAug.ls. !Au, I .1 - I 10% 26 1 - 2 3 3 14 , 4' ' 314 31/ 4 Bs. p , 55 3 ,4 26 143 _ . 141 20s. p 455. p 1 .--- s.6d.p! - 26 li - 24% 25.6d.p 4 3 / 4 455. p 31 / 2 31s. 40& p 7% 425. 2% 61.
