The plaintiff is the ale proprietor of the land, but the defendants claim to hi ve a second mortgage upon the land, and have commenced breaking up the farm. Tho plaint ff had asked to see the mortgage deed, but to no aiid the first sale by auction of part of the proceeds of the farm was announced to take place this day. Under these circumstances he prayed for an in• junction to restrain them from so doing. His HONOUR said he thought the parties had better be made acquainted with the suit and come up again next week. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY QUEEN V. HARRIS. This was an indictment for in which the defen dant had allowed judgment to go by default, and was now brought up to receive the sentence of the Court. The defendant was a gentleman of property, residing in Devonshire. and the prosecutor, at whose instance the indictment was preferred at the last assizes at Exeter, ries Captain Hortt the commanding officer of the 4th or Queen's Own Regiment of Foot Guards. The indictment contained three counts, and it charged the defendant with having written two letters and published a placard, in which he denounced Captain flortt as a liar and a coward. The particular words were—" He is an in effable liar, and with that quality he unites the other' of being, I venture to assert, the only dastardly coward extant in her Majesty's s, rvice." These words were contained in a placard published by the defendant and two letters which he wrote, and addressed to Captain Hortes superior officer, and to the (ffieera' mess of the 4:h Re giment. An affidavit in mitigation of punishment by defendant was put in. In this affidavit be stated that he was much reduced in circumstances. He acknow- lodged his error, but explained that he committed it while labouring under feelings of irritation, occasioned ny a statement of his son, who served under Captain Hortt, and who complained that he had been ill-treated by the Captain on several cccasions. The ATTORNEY•GENERAL said, after the affidavit it was necessary that be should explain that the circum stances referred to by the defendant were inquired into by the Commander-in-Chief, who ultimately came to the conclusion that Lieutenant Harris, the son of the defendant, had no ground of complaint against his com manding officer. The defendant, however, was not sa tisfied with that decision, but wrote the letters complained of in this indictment, and afterwards published a placard containing the objectionable words; which was found in his son's room. The young man was brought to a court martial and tried for a breach of military discipline in exhibiting it, and the result of that investigation was that the Lieutenant was ordered to be dismissed the ser vice. It was possible to make some allowance for the feelings of a father who might conceive that some injus tice had been done to his son, but at the same time those teeliugs could form no substantial excuse for a gentleman putting forward such a statement as this. Mr. CHAMBERS, Q.C., who appeared for the;defendant, said he was not there either to excuse or defend the expressions which were contained in the letters, but he would remind the Court that the defendant had already suffered through his son for this offence, and on that ac count it was hoped the Court would take care to temper justice with mercy in this case. Mr. Justice PATTESON delivered the judgment of the Court, and sentenced the defendant to be imprisoned in Exeter gaol for six calendar months. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice ERLE.) DR. ACHILLI AND DR. NEWMAN. QUEEN V. BEVANS AND ANOTHER. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL applied to the Court to have (he name of Dr. Newman substituted for those of the defendants in this case. His Lordship was perhaps aware that a rule nisi had been granted calling upon the defendants to show cause why a criminal information ,ficuld not be filed against them for an alleged libel contained in a pamphlet which they had published, and which reflected upon rho character of Dr. Achilli. Dr Newman was tht author of the pamphlet, and he was • heretore at,xious that the defendants should suffer no loss or inconvenience on his account. Application granted. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS I)AY.) The November adjourned sessions were opened this day, at Clerkenwell, Mr. Witham presiding, in the ab .euce of the Assistant Judge, who is absent through liness. The calendar contains fifty-five names. Alfred Jordan, aged 16, was convicted of stealing 3s. 6d. and other moneys, the property of William Mark tin, from the person of Louisa Marklin, his wife. He as sentenced to twelve mouths' imprisonment, with hard labour.

They were sentenced each to six months' imprison went, with hard labour. Michael Mahony pleaded guilty to an indictment for hreaktng and entering the house of Robert William Turner, and stealing therefrom some articles of silver plate and joivelk ry of the value of 501. Sentence deferred. &vont' other prisoners pleaded guilty, and the other oases disposed of were of the ordinary character, with out any peculiar feature. SPORTIN G NOTES. No. CLVII. ABERYSTWITH STEEPLECHASE, &c. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —During the past week my usual success attended my efforts on the steeplechases and flit races at the Liverpool and Shrewsbury Meetings. At the former, not imagining Lord George would be sent for the Hurdle Race as well as the Steeplechase, I never took his chance into consideration, but gave the race to Little Queen, who was second, placing Fugitive and Half-and-Half as second and third; they were second and third to Little Qucen;—thus was I within an ace of placing the leading trio. My selection for the Sefton Handicap, Chief Justice, won cleverly by half a leng:h; the Italian, who I had some fear of, running home in the fourth position. My remarks on the Grand Autumn Steeple base Handicap were also correct; my fancy horse, Peter Simple, won easily by two lengths, and my obser vation about Lord George being held harmless, was justified by his running third. At the Shrews oury Autumn Meeting I selected Doubt to win the Shrewsbury Handicap, which he did in a common canter by eight or ten lengths, and .xpected to see the Italian close up—he wiis b►rd. The Great Shropshire Hunt Steeplechase was a bungle altogether, and the le.s said about it the better. As I imagined, Tally-ho, with Set 9lb up, was sure to win the County Hurdle Race; this he did by rrightening everything out of the field and walking over. The Aberystwith Meeting has only two stakes that require any comment—the Open Steeplechase and the Cardiganshire Stakes. The latter, I fancy, will fall $o the lot of SELINA with the Touchstone Gelding and lracundus well up. The Steeplechase will probably be contested oy Hazard, Esmeralda, Little Spice, Kate Kearney, Lottery, Marengo, and the Maid of-all-work. I think it will be no lottery if I hAzard an opinion that HAZARD sill be first, Esmeralda second, and Little Spice, or Kate Kearney third. To-morrow I shall attempt to equal my past success on the Warwick and Leamington Steeplechases. I am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. Nov. 17, 1851. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. COURSING.

WARWICK AND LEAMINGTON STEEPLECHASE.-13Y an oversight, Mr. Booth's b g Versa, aged, lost, has been omitted from the list of acceptances hitherto published. LITERATURE LIFE AND ITS LESSONS. back. 3 Vois, Shubert. By Mrs. Hub, We were much interested, son►c little time hack, by the perusal of Mrs. Hubback's novel, "The Wife's Sister." The train incidents of that story were not of the most pleasing nature, it is true, but the narrative revealed a degree of power on the part of the authoress which led us to expect from her some yet more attractive compositions. We can hardly affirm that "Life and its Lessons" has quite realised our expectations in that regard. The two stories into which it is divided are deficient in that powerful and pathetic interest which gave such a fascination to the former volumes. Nevertheless, these stories have other and, perhaps to some, not in ferior attractions. "Kate Penrose," the first tale, is characterised by its exceeding simplicity, a simplicity not without its charms, especially as regards the portrait of the heroine. An heiress, married to a worthless fortune-bunter, the history of hate, like that of the succeeding heroine, Mildred, is intended as a lesson, and not one of the least important " lessons of life," to young ladies on the choice of a companion. The story of Mildred is more interesting, for Mildred marries a man whom she does not love, because the individual of her choice has given his heart to her young Bn 4 favourite sister. Yet in both cases, as Mrs. Eubb ck forcibly shows, mutual misery is the result 0, m ,rriage entered into without mutual affec tion. Tue manner of the narration is in both in stances natural and graceful. If Mrs. Hubback will carefully exert her best powers and avoid that mis take which our modern novel writers are so griev ously addicted to, namely, of imagining that a story to be natural :roust be filled with common-place details, and that simplicity of style is akin to stupi dity, she will, we confidently expect, become a fa vourite with a large circle of readers, and will have no occasion to affix to her name as a title of recom mendation; " niece to Miss Austin." LECTURES ON DANIEL "and LECTURES ON THE SEVEN CHURCHES. By Dr. Cumming The eloquent lectures of Dr. Cumming upon texts relating to the above subjects have been published in two handsome volumes, and are well deserving of the attention they •will doubtless obtain from the ad mirers of the Reverend Doctor. The most valuable characteri3tic of these lectures is their practical ten dency—they are not addressed to the scholar, but to the multitude. QUAKERISM ; or, the Story of My Life. By a Lady who for Forty Years was a Member of the Society of Friends. " As a tire which has not been stirred," says the authoress in her preface, " will burn away and be come so choked up with ashes as to be incapable of yielding warmth or light, and requires not merely a gentle application, but a strong and vigorous stirring up to dislodge the burnt-out and rekindle the good coals, so I coacaive the Society of Friends needs a thorough good rousing ; for the ashes have accu mulated, and well nigh put out the fire." To effect this desideratum is the object of this volume : how much truth it may contain, and how far it may be calculated to benefit the Society, we, not being in their secrets, cannot pronounce. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, LIVERPOOL COUNTY COURT CASE. CONCLUSION OF TUE DEFENCE. PRTSTON, SATURDAY, Nov. 15.—At the ,openieg of the court th e first v.iteess c •Iled was Ge;rge St one , w h o sa i d he was hi g h b a iliff o f the Liverpool C ounty Court, and bad been appointed by the late Mr. Lowndes. He considered the demaanour of Mr. RilliShly as calm, collected, and dignified. He had improved t!)e mode of conducting business. It bad improved in quality and increased in quantity. The behaviour of Mr. Ramshay was dignified, and like that of a judge determined to keep order in his court, and make it respectable. He had a peculiar mode of shut tirg his teeth, and people who did not know him thought it was from bad temper. He did not hear the word " ass" used by Mr. Ramshay. Cross-examined—Llad never signed a memorial in favour of another judge, nor suggested a memorial in favour of Ramshay, es a counter memorial to that pre sented against him, Did riot know whether Mr. Lowndes ever fined any one. Considered Mr. Ramshay to have the average temper of men. He recollected an occasion when Mr. Ramshay recommended a poor woman to bring an action for money misappropriated, arid said, if she had not the money he would give it to her. Mr. Ramshay here rose and said—That although be did not wish to volunteer as a witness in his own cause, he was ready to answer any question put to him. This closed the ease for the defence. Mr. Monk then replied on the part of the memorialists. He commenced by deprecating the violent attacks which bad beeen made by Sergeant Wilkins on everybody, high and low, and attributed them to a distempered imagine don. He did not t hi n k there was anot h er man i u t h e profession w h o wou l d have taken a s i m i lar course . Al though the inquiry had lasted a very considerable time, the question s i mp l y was, whet h er M r . R ams h ay was fit to be a county court judge? It was his duty to con tend that the evidence he bad brought forward proved that he was not. He was certainly surprised that the Learned Sergeant had so virulently attacked the re porters, who were performing a peaceful and useful duty, and who could not make any answer. He had, however, made use of their testimony when it suited his purpose. He should only refer to portions of the evidence; for instance, he must call attention to the speech of Mr. Ramshay on the 25th of August. Ile could only consider that speech as a declaration of war against the people of Liverpool, and as proving the allegation of the memorial—that he was unfit to be a judge of the County Court there. He denied that the press of Liverpool had prevented Mr. Ramshay from performing his duties. The Learned Counsel then de precated the selection of the County Court for the din ner, and said he did not think Mr. Sergeant Wilkins bad justified the introduction by Mr. Ramshay of the biogra phical account of his family. Ho feared that a man so sensitive about his family as Mr. Ramshay was not fit to be a judge. After seeing the placards, Mr. Ramsbay had fined a great many people. He believed this fact proved the allegation of the memorialists, that Mr. Ram shay had an undue notion of his own dignity. The judges of the land never fined people in this wholesale way for a supposed contempt of their persons and con duct. The Learned Counsel, after describing at some length the scene in court when Mr. Whitty was there, contended that there ought to have been some warrant, waiting, or authority for his arrest., The case was dif ferent where the contempt was committed before the judge. The case of " the King v. Clement" did not bear upon this case, and the other cases cited were not analogous The Learned Counsel then cited various cases in support of lA views. He then argued that the sending a verbal message was not a good proceeding under this Act. The Act directed that all orders and other proceedings of the Court should be entered upon the records, and within the Act of Parliament there was no " order" in this case, as the Act directed. The attempt to arrest Mr, Whitty, under the circumstances, was utterly unautho rised ; and the bailiffs might have been treated as tres passers, or even as Sir George Stephen had advised. The whole question was, whether the bailiffs were au thorised or not ? The Court here adjourned for a short time, after which Mr. Maule proceeded to defend the witnesses on the part of the memorial from the observations and attacks of Mr. Sergeant Wilkins. He concluded by comment ing at great length upon the evidence, which he said fully supported the memorial. Mr. Fowler expressed his thanks, and that of Mr. Sergeant Wilkins to his Lordship. The Earl of Carlisle said be should give his deci sion with as little delay as the importance of the subject warranted. The inquiry then terminated a little before four o'clock. NOVEMBER l7, lB5l. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) COWES, Nov. 15. COLLECTORS OP RATES.—Our neighbourhood has been particularly unfortunate in their eel( eions lately. Southampton has had four defaulters, Newport one, and CONCS one, and this one the collector of the poor-rate, assessed taxes, highway-rates, and property. tax. The collector should have given security to the parish, and it Was generally supposed that he had done so, but now that there is a deficiency on the poor-rate of 1501., it has been found out that he had net done it. This town has been so repeatedly robbed by the parties selected to collect the rates (one, but a few years since, took up wards of 9001.), that it is quite unpardonable that the parish officers should have allowed it to happen again, the vestry having resolved that security should be given. TITHES.—The Rev. E. D. Scott has given notice to the tithe-payers of this parish (Northwood), that he will allow five per cent. to all who pay him up all those due on October Ist, if it is done on or before the 26th. He used to offer a dinner, but it was no go, as many ho attended only paid part, end others went not at all. FOUND WANTING.--A t the meeting of the Mechanic's Benefit Society, en Monday last, a bag containing 711. 10s. in gold, which the stewards thought had been placed in the iron safe on the last club-night, was found missing. Fur security the iron safe is placed in a wooden chest hiving three locks; there are three secre taries, each having the key of one of the locks, so that even the iron cafe cannot be got at without the know ledge of all the secretaries. MI the locks were locked, bat on the secretaries unlocking them the geld was missing, a bag containing between 9/. and 101. in silver only was left. The secretaries wept together to place the gold and silver in the safe. The silver was de posited, but it is supposed that one of the secretaries, by mistake, put the bag of gold into his own pocket. As he is a local preacher, he of course must have done so by mistake. Still, as he has left the town, and as his wife and children cannot give any satisfactory account of his whereabouts to the police, the members have not all the best opinions of the missing preacher, for whom a diligent search is being made. SOMETHING NEW, AND NOT QUITE RIGHT.—A number of men were employed yesterday (Sunday) morning filling the ice-house adjoining Trinity Church in this town during the morning service, they having a view of the congregation, and the congregation a view of them during the whole of the service. We do not recollect an ice-house having been filled before so early in the season, and certainly not on the Sabbath-day. We question, indeed, if any clergyman or minister ever before witnessed such a scene from his pulpit in this or any other part of England. Six r. 11., Nov. 16.—N0 tidings of the Herman yet. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, Nov. 15. The Royal dinner circle yesterday included her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, the Lady in Waiting to her Royal Highness, the Baroness de Speth, the Duke and Duchess of Bedford, Lord and Lady John Russell, Lieut.-General Wemyss, and Colonel the Hon. C. B. and Mrs. Phipps. The Queen walked in the Home Park and the Slopes this morning. The Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, Prince Alfred, and Princess Alice, took walking and pony exercise. Prince Arthur and the Princesses Helena and Louisa were taken out in an open carriage. Prince Albert, accompanied by the Duke of Bedford, went out shooting this morning, attended by the Earl of Listowel, Lord Charles A. Fitzroy, and Colonel F. H. Seymour. TN; Duchess of Orleans visited her Majesty at the Castle to-day from Claremont, and partook of luncheon. The Duke and Duchess of Bedford and Lord and Lady John Russell left the Castle to-day. The Royal dinner party this evening iacluded her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, the Lady in Wait ing to her Royal Highness, the Baroness de Speth, the Speaker and Mrs. Lefevre, Colonel the Hon. Charles and Mrs. Grey, and Sir •Henry St. John Mildmay. - ETINDAY. The Queen and Prince Albert walked in the Home Park and Slopes this morning. The Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the younger branches of the Royal Family, walked in the Home Park. • Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal, the Ladies and Gentlemen of the Court and the Dom9stic House hold, attended Divine service this morning in the private Chapel of the Castle. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Rent also attended the service. The Hon. and Rev. Gerald Wellesley officiated. Mr. F. Bigge bad an interview with Earl Groy on Saturday at the Colonial Office. Lo r d H arr i s h a d a l so an interview on Saturday with the Noble Earl. The Oxford University Commission had a meeting on Saturday, at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, in Downing-street. Present—The Bishop of Norwich, the Dean of Carlisle, the Master of Pem broke, the Rev. H. G. Liddell, the Rev. Professor Powell, the Rev. G. W. S. Johnson, and the Rev. A. P. Stanley (Secretary). Loid and Lady John Russell arrived at Pembroke Lodge, Richmond Park, on Saturday, from Windsor Castle. THE SHEFFIELD THEATRE. The inimitable Wright, of Adelphi renown, made his bow to a Sheffield audience on Monday in his original character of Brassy Popjoy in Harvest Home, and he has since enacted the parts of Joe Grumloy in Domestic Economy; Marmaduke Magog, in The Wreck Ashore; Mr. Bobtail, in My Precious Betsy; Billy Lackaday, in Sweethearts and Wives; the unobtrusive Paul, in I'aul Pry. In each of these characters, which he has made peculiarly his own, Mr. Wright'a raciness and humour have de lighted the audience. If the reception of this most po pular comedian has not been ao enthusiastic in Sheffield as in other places, or rather if the houses have not been so large as might naturally be expeeted, the fault must be attributed, we believe, to the carelessness of the management. The town was not made acquainted with his appearance on the Sheffield boards until the last night or two. How should they? His engagement was not announced either in the Times or Independent. This is a practical illustration of the inutility of street pla cards compared with advertisements in papers of large circulation, which find their way into every house in a district. A placard can only be posted in a small num ber of places; many persons never take the trouble of stopping to read them; they are very soon covered; and we cannot pity the ill success of a manager who has not even studied one of the great arts of good fortune in the present day—the art of attaining universal publicity. The crowded state of our columns precludes a more lengthened notice ofthe business of the theatre during the present week.—Sheffield Times. TIIE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.--We announced on Friday the feats which had been performed on the preceling day with the new submarine telegraph between the French and English coasts. On the same day the curiosity of pas sengers in Fleet-street and the Strand was attracted by the laying down of new wires between the City and Charing cross. They are cased in gutta percha, like those of the sub marine telegraph, and laid i n zinc tubes beneath the outer edge of the pavement, from half a foot to a foot below the surface. At the telegraphic congress held lately at Vienna, it was agreed by the deputies from various lines that the same alphabet should be used through all the German- Austrian telegraphic union, and that the apparatus in use at Vienna should be adopted. Vienna journals announce, also, that Dr. Steinheil, director of the Austrian telegraphic lines, has discovered the means of causing the electric fluid to travel any distance, however great, and that as quickly and as safely, as the shortest distances. It has hitherto been found im possible to cause the telegraph to transmit signals for a greater distance than a few hundred miles; so that Dr. Steinheil'- discovery is the most important recently made in connexion with this marvellous invention. Being adapted to existing lines, all lines may be united, and dispatches can be forwarded from one extremity to the other without any interruption. One immense advantage of the discovery will be to prevent delay from the crowding of dispatches at any particular sta tion —as, if they cannot be forwa r d e d by the - direct line, they can be forwarded just as quickly by any other line, even that which may be the most roundabout. Thus, if the lines w ere established, a dispatch might be forwarded from London to Paris, via Trieste or St. Petersburgh, as quickly as by Calais. Dr. Steinheil keeps secret for the present the nature of his discovery.—Morning Paper. THE LINEN TRADE.—Common weft yarns are to be had at present at lid. to 3d. per bundle cheaper than on Friday last, and stocks are so accumulating that several spicners are said to be about to put their mills on short time, to stop further reductions, and keep down the prices which flax is otherwise supposed likely to realize. In cloths there is little doing. Ballymena market was, on Saturday, ex tremely dull, manufacturers refusing to submit to a decline on the ground that weavers, owing to emigration, are scarce, and that wages are rising; so also in Coleraine and Armagh. In light drills, linen lawn handkerchiefs, and 26 and 30-inch lawns, there is still a good business being done. Damasks and diapers continue depressed. The latest intelligence from St. Thomas, Vera Cruz, and Tampico is to the effect that mar kets are flat, the prices unfavourable, and stocks heavy.— Banner of Ulster. This closed the business of the day, so far as it re lated to the alteration of the deed of settlement. Th e Chairman, however, announced that under the exist ing laws of the society it would be necessary to hold a pro forma meeting this day fortnight, to con firm the alterations. The following gentlemen were next unanimously elected as direct o r s , name l y :—Robert Chalmerms,oEussqly., of the House of CommonsofanßdaTtthurloe-s.quare ; Ed_ ; sltobert Law mmuidnddieticiskt,BErasdqle,y, Esq of Milford A ' V ehrasrefa; ,Samuel Wix, E s , r .Ba Jameslha m .11.u . tton, of 4G, Moorgate-street, Public accountant, was also unanimously elected to fill up the vacancy in the number of auditors occasioned by the election of R. L. Middlemist, Esq., to a seat at the board of directors.

We met here, you will re member, on the 26th of July last, (our annual meeting), s i nce w hi c h per i o d we have got rid of 1,000 shares, and upon referring to the books, I find that from that date, up to proposals th for the 12th of No vember instant, we received 4 po licies, 106 of which have been accepted —(Hear.) Of those proposals 98 were accepted at the ordinary rates, and 11 declined.—(Hear, hear.) Twenty-four are now waiting for examination, and yesterday a s many es 20 proposals were brought before the board, as your chairman can confirm and your books will show.—(Hear, hear.) In the time I have mentioned we have, in point of tact, issued 86 policies and ac cepted 106 proposals : 20 are now actually before your board, and I have not the least doubt whatever that before next week is ended, we shall have since th e l as t issued more than one p o li c y a day NEW CIIURCII IN ST. MARY NEWINGTON, SURREY. —The Loraimer estate, the property of the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury, situate in the rear of the Surrey Zoological Gardens, and abutting on Kennington-common, has for some years been occupied chiefly as garden grounds; but during the past and present summers upwards of 1,000 new houses have been erected thereon, and have for the most part be come inhabited. Nearly 2,000 more houses are about being built, and it has consequently been resolved, in order to pro vide for the spiritual wants of this comparatively new town, to erect a new district church, and in the course of the last week workmen, employed by Mr. Nyers, the builder and contractor, have commenced excavating the foundation. The edifice will be of a neat plain style, and constructed of Kentish rag-stone. DEJANIBA AND HER HERCULES IN SWITZERLAND. —Adelaide Swerte has just created a terrible sensation in the quiet valley of the Chamouni. Her lover, an apothecary, of the name of Carib, had allowed her access to his drug closet. In consequence of some deep resentment, treacher ously dissembled, however, the damsel having possessed her self of a quantity of fulminating cotton, introduced it into the lining of a neckcloth, with large folds falling over the breast, and presented it to Carlh on his going out shooting. She had remarked that when, in the enjoyment of his pipe, sparks had often fallen on his shirt front. Not returning to the village, search was made in the mountains, where he was found with his neck and skull horribly shattered. THE CONVICT CAUTY.—This convict, who was not long since sentenced to transportation for the attempted robbery at the Westminster Bank, is now a prisoner in Wakefie'd gaol, the original sentence not having been at present carried out. Through what influe, or from what circum s t ance, Wakefield should hav e been cenchosen as his place of detention, has not transpired. It is only known that Cauty, in the course of his predatory career, was largely connected with gambling-houses, as proprietor and otherwise, and in that capacity became possessed of the notes and cheques of several distinguished patrons of the play fraternity ; and it has been surmised that some Milli- ence may Lave been exerted in his favour to procure the partial commutation of his puniahraent. ENGLISH AND CAMBRIAN ASSURANCE SOCIETY. An extraordinary general meeting of this society was held at the offices of the society, Bridge-street, Binckfriars, on Thursday, the 12th instant, for the purpose of electing additional directors and making certain alterations in the deed of settlement. Mr. Murray, one of the directors, was called to the chair. Amongst the proprietors present we noticed the following gentlemen :—Mr. Fenning, of Fenning's wharf, London-bridge; Mr. Heise, of Sloane-street; Mr. Whitelock, of Clerkenevell ; Dr. Wane, Mr. Hannan), of Brighton ; Mr. Guy, of Bury St. Edmunds; Mr. Curtis, of Norwich; Mr. Lawrence, of the Engineer Lite Assurance-office • Mr. Chimers, of the H ouse of Commons - Mr. Bradley, of Batter sea; Mr. Middl emist, of Milford -wharf; Mr. Wix, Hodges, of her of 13alhain , Mr. Cox, of Great Queen-street ; Mr. Mr.TeulLonep, James, ' Mr. Verrey, Mr. Wickens, Mr. Busfield, of I' era in Hughes,g ' o s f - % L e h i a ro r e f b; Majesty's Stationary-office; Mr. ouAsler ;la o s f tri C 'e h r ea lll l r i . d iN ,e loz M ley r , Mr. Turner, Mr. Williams,of Barnett, Hearer, -) arnett, Hoares, and Co., and several others. The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings of the day by calling upon Mr. C. W. Bevan, the manager of the society, to read the advertisement convening the meeting. The CHAIRMAN then brie fly adverted to the pur pose of the meeting, and pointed cut the necessity that existed to alter several clauses in the deed of settle.. ment, which he would read seriatim, and explain as he proceeded. The first clause proposed to be altered was the 13th, which gave power to policy-holder s of 1001. to attend and vote in all the affairs of the society, which the directors considered should either be totally abolished or limited to a larger amount.— (Hear, hear.) The clause was then read, whereupon Mr. JAMES rose and said that he was sure the direc tors had nothing to fear from the policy-holders. So long as they continued to conduct their business trans actions in the straightforward manner that they did now they would command the support of the policy holders ; but alter this clause as it was proposed from the chair, and that confidence would cease.—(Hear.) Mr. LAWBANCE really did think that the policy holders ought to have the right of voting and speak ing on the affairs of the company, for that was one of the inducements to make investments. His ex perience in these matters satisfied him that it would be unwise to withdraw that privilege, for the mo ment they closed their doors to the policy-holders people would begin to suspect that there was some thing wrong, and they might ultimately abstain from supporting the company.—(Hear, hear.) His im pression certainly was this--it they wanted their bu siness to go on progressing as it had done already, they ought to court the attendance of the policy holders, rather than shut their doors against them ; and he therefore hoped the meeting would pause be fore they sanctioned the proposed alteration.—(Hear.) Mr. FENNING said the directors of course would be guided by the wishes of the meeting, and as it seemed to be the general impression that this clause ought not to be disturbed they were quite ready to withdraw the proposed alteration.—(Cheers.) The motion was accordingly withdrawn. Mr. BRYAN said the next clause proposed to be altered was the seventeenth, which related to the number of shareholders who should constitute an ex traordinary general meeting. At present the clause required that thirty shareholders should be in attend ance before any business could be done; but as the majority of the shareholders lived in the country there was great difficulty in getting so many together. It was therefore proposed to reduce the number from thirty to twelve, who should represent 6001. instead of 1,0001. of the company's capital.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. WICKENS said the next clause proposed to be altered was the twentieth. The meeting was aware that if an vacancies occurred at the board between the ordinary general meetings the directors had no power to fill them up without calling an extraordinary meet ing for the purpose. Now it was proposed that the clause should be so altered that the directors should have authority to appoint new directors to fill up va cancies, without calling an extraordinary meeting, whose election should ,be subject to the approval of the proprietors at the next general meeting. It was also proposed to take power to increase the number to fifteen, if it should be so thought fit. A PROPRIETOR asked if that would not add to the expense ? Mr. WICKENS—The maximum remuneration of the directors has already been fixed; and, of course, the more new directors the present board appointed the less they would receive, which was an excellent gua rantee to the proprietors that none would be appointed unless they were absolutely required.—(Hear.) It was also proposed to increase the qualification of each director from 50 to 100 shares. A resolution, , embodying the proposed alt e r a ti ons , was then moved from the chair, and carried unani mously. Mr. BEVAN said, the next clause proposed to be altered, which was No. 42, had reference to the pre ceding clause, and it provided that no proprietor should be eligible for election to a seat at the board, unless he had held 501. worth of stook for six months previously, a condition which had operated very pre judicially to the interest of the company, since it not unfrequently happened that a man of eminence and standing in the commercial world was disposed to join them, but he could not do so owing to this re striction under six months.—(Hear, hear.) If, for instance, they had the chance of getting a Rothschild to join them, he could not do it for six mouths, and therefore it was pr o p ose d t o a lt er t h e c l ause so that a proprietor who held 100 shares should be eligible ten days after he had signed the deed of settlement.— (Hear, hear.) A resolution authorising this . alteration was pro posed from the chair and carried unanimously. Mr. WICKENS said clause 44 was admitted to be an error in the original deed, and the clause as it now stood was contrary to the Act of Parliament. Speak ing of the persons eligible to be elected as directors, it referred to them as " duly qualified policy and shareholders." Now, inasmuch as the Act of Parlia ment restricted the directors to shareholders only, this was clearly a mistake, and it was therefore proposed to remedy it by striking out the word " policy." Mr. JAMES remarked that policyholders were ad mitted to be shareholders in mutual companies. Mr. WICKENS—This is not a mutual company. A resolution authorising the alteration was then proposed and carried unanimously. Mr. WICKENS said the next clause proposed to be altered was the one relating to the qualification of auditors. It provided that the auditor, previous to his election, should have been a holder of 10 shares for six months previously, and it was now proposed to reduce the time to ten days, and increase the number of shares to 25.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. JAMES hoped the alterations would not apply to the present auditors. Mr. WICKENS said it would not. The proposal was then put to the vote and carried unanimously. Mr. WICKENS said—By clause 157 no proprietor could hold more than 5001. worth of stock. It was proposed, however, to repeal that clause, and allow any one to hold as many shares as he thought proper. Mr. LAWRANCE—Let him have them by all means, —(Hear, hear ) A resolution was passed, like the others, authorising this clause to be struck out. Mr. WICKENS said he had another clause to suggest to the meeting. As the deed of settlement stood then there was no power to cancel shares, and it was pro posed to insert a clause, providing that in the event of the calls on any shares remaining unpaid for a cer tain time, or the holders of any shares becoming in solvent, the directors should have power, after due and proper notice, to cancel such shares.—(Year.) Mr. LAWRANCE apprehended that there would be no objection to extend the period for payment if the party holding the shares applied for it ? The CHAIRMAN—None whatever. A resolution was then passed, sanctioning a clause to authorise the directors to cancel all shares which should remain in arrears for six months. Nov. 1851. rneeting.—(Hear.) If you doubt the accuracy of whet I state, here is the policy-list to confirm what I say.—(Hear, hear.) We now number 360 policy holders.—(hear.) And now, gentlemen, with regard to our local branch at Norwich, we have, heard from our friend, Mr. James, that some of the oldest and weal am ou t n h t i e of f t e b f u s t i h o e es insurance s toffices m do e._ no ( th a in e g ar l , ik h e ea t r h . ; I was also told, yesterday, by our representative at Bury, Mr. Guy, who is present here to- day, that a large office in his locality, with the advantage of an enormous capital and a fire business, and com prising persons of position and influence, and long resident in the district, had only obtained two new life-policies from his town last year; whereas we at that town alone have issued double that quantity at least in the short time we have been represented there. Now, adverting again to Norwich, we have, since the month of June, received fifty-three proposals from Norwich alone, nearly all of which, et the present moment, have been completed.

STATEMENT OF THE ORIGIN, PRESENT POSITION, AND PROSPECTS or THE COLLECTION, NOW IN COMIC OF FoRMATICN BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. As many inquiries are 6:Aug constantly made of the Executive Committee as to the object of the collection is course of formation, and as to the position in which it now stands, they have deemed it advisable to prepare the following statement. On the sth of July. 1851, her Majesty's Commis sioners authorised an official application to be made to exhibitors for specimens of the raw produce and manu factures 'exhibited by them, with a view to the future establishment of a commercial museum. It was at that time considered that such a collection would form an interesting record of the Exhibition of 1851, and, consequently or the state of industrial scienee in that year; and that it would not at first be so exten• sive but that it could be contained in a good sized rocm„ But the numerous aLd liberal contributions of the exhi bitors, both of Great Britain and foreign countries, have gradually extended the scope of the collection, and, in fact, made it the germ of what may become, not werely interesting to the statisticians of future ages, but ofithat which may satisfy a great public want in this metropolis, viz., a trade collection of the imports and exports of the werld, where men of busieess may examine anciprecti cally test samples of those articles in which they are trading. Thiel direction has been already given to the collection by the important contributions of exhibitors of all coun tries, many of wtiom have dlep-•sited valuable articles in the hands of the Executive Committee, with the cer tainty that it will: be a means of bringing the product, of their mines, cultivation, or workshops before the notice of the mercantile and general public with even • more permanent advantage to themselves than has been derived from the Exhibition which has just closed. The destination of such a collection, as well as the further development of the undertaking, are, necessarily, subjects for future consideration; but, in the meantime, the Executive Committee consider it their duty to aid, so far as their authority extends, in satisfying the desire so universally expressed to them; and it must be obvious that the fate of such a collection must entirely depend upon the interest which the public of this and other countries take in it, and individuals will be able to judge for themselves whether, after this explanation of the present state of the matter, they do or do not wish to be represented in the collection. In - order to guard themselves on the one hand against overstepping the limits within which their action is con fined by her Majesty's Commissioners, and, en the other hand, against disappointing the expectation of the public in forming this collection, the Executive,Committee have laid down for themselves and their officers the following principles:- 1. That the collection should comprise samples of ail articles of trade. 2. That, for the present, exhibitors only in the late Exhibition will be permitted to contribute to the col lection. 3. That antiquities, curiosities, and articles relating only to pure science are inadmissible, there being already places far better suited to the reception of such things than what it is now contemplated to establish. 4. That as it is to the interest of the public that those articles only shall bo received which it would be of advantage to the producer to supply, no exhibitor' should be pressed t o contr ib ute to t h e collection. 5. That the question of presentation should b . e resolved only with reference to th e p o int w h e th er i t is of any value, in a commercial point of v i ew , for the publ i c to know that A. B. produc es suc h an article in such a country. _ _ _ 6. That it shall be quite at the option of the depositor to affix to his article all necessary information in regard to price, process, amount of prodnction, &c. 7. That the presentation of objects is to be absolute, it being clearly understood that her Majesty's Com missioners are invested with the power of disposing of the articles in the way which, in their opinion, mu be most advantageous to the public. _ _ - DI GB M .Y YATT, Secretary to the Execut W ive Committee.

In consequence of the melancholy intelli gence, the usual performance by the band en the troops mounting guard was countermanded, and the etiquette on the death of one of the Royal Family ob served. His Majesty Ernest Augustus was the last surviving son of King George the Third, and only surviving uncle of her Majesty. He ascended the throne of Hanover on the demise of his late Majesty King William the Fourth, 20th June, 1837, the Salk) law (which governs the Hanoverian succession) for bidding a female to ascend the throne. His Majesty was born June sth, 1771, he was con sequently i❑ the 81st year of his age, and the 14th of his reign. By his demise pensions and salaries to a considerable amount, and royal residences at Kew and St. James's Palace, revert to the Crown. The suc cessor to the throne is George, the Crown Prince of Hanover. His Majesty being blind, it is expected that a Regency will be appointed. His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge being next of kin, will, it is imagined, be called on to fill that office. Advertiser. SUICIDE OF LORD DE BLAQUIERE, The lamentable circumstances attending the death o, Lord William de Bhiquiere, of Beulah Villa, Norwood, Surrey, aged 74, were on Friday investigated before W. Carter, Esq., coroner for West Surrey, and fourteen highly respectable jurors. From the evidence of Caroline Brown, Mary Ann Shaw, Mr. Street (surgeon), and other witnesses, it ap peared that the deceased nobleman had taken up his re sidence i❑ the locality of Norwood for about ten months past. During this period his charities and good offices to the poor of the district had been in accordance with the course be has invariably pursued. His health had for some time been very indifferent, arising from a lithotriptie disease, but latterly he had been seized with an attack of small-pox—which had evidently affected his Lordship's intellects; but this did not appear to be of a suicidal character, and consequently he was not watched so strictly as might have been deemed neces sary. On Tuesday night last his Lordship retired to rest at an early hour; he awc ke at about four o'clock on the following morning, and asked one of his female servants to bring him one of his pistols, which was accordingly done. It was then not charged, but his Lordship desired that his valet, Fran cis Johnson, should be called, and during the absence of the female servant it would seem that his Lordship loaded the pistol with a heavy charge of powder and a large quantity of swan shot, and before the valet could be aroused the report of fire arms created the utmost alarm in the mansion, and on several of the domestics rushing to his Lordship's chamber they found him lying on the ground weltering in his blood. Im mediately the services of Mr. Street, of Norwood, sur geon, were called into r( quisition, but before the arrival that gentleman his Lordship had ceased to exist. From a post mortem examination the Noble Lord, it would seem, had discharged the pistol into his mouth, through the roof of which the charge had passed, and several of the shots were found lodged in various cavities of the brain, quite sufficient to cause death. His Lordship must have been a great sufferer from disease, for a cal culus of unusually large dimensions was discovered in the bladder; and this circumstance, combined with the effects of the disease of small-pox, had doubtless pro duced that nervous debility which had so impaired his Lordship's mind as to urge him to commit self destruction. FEROCITY OF A Fox.—A few days since a fox entered the house of a man named Murphy, near Dangan, where an infant was asleep in a cradle, both parents being oat at the time, and, seizing the infant by the throat, carried it away. An instant pursuit was made, and reynard was compelled to abandon his seizure, but when found the child was dead ; the throat was greatly mangled.—Clare Paper.

Edward Ross Prance, East Stonehouse, Devon ; James Edward Tuxford, Boston, Lincolnshire; James Collie, Aberdeen ; Joseph William Eastwood, Chesterfield, Derby shire; William Edward Day, Bristol; James Martin Roche, Farmoy, county of Cork; and Charles Chibnell, Tothill street, Westminster.

LIFE IN THE WEST.—Our Yankee traveller, who saw the live hoosier, has again written to his mother:— " Western people go their death on etiquette. You can't tell a man hero that he lies, as you can down east, without fighting. A few days ago a man was telling two of his neighbours in my hearing a pretty long story. Says I, ' Stranger, that's a whapperl' Says he, 'Lay there stranger I' and in a twinkling of an eye, I found myself in the ditch, a perfect quadruped, the worse for wear and tear. Upon ano ther occasion, says I to a man I never saw before, as a woman passed, 'That isn't a specimen of your western women, is it?' Says he, • You are afraid of the fever and ague, stranger, an't you?' Very much,' says I. ' Well,' replied he, ' that lady is my wife, and if you don't apologise in two minutes, by the honour of a gentleman I swear that these two pistols, (which he held cocked in his hand,) shall cure you of that disorder entirely— so don't fear, stranger.' So I knelt down and politely apologised. I admire this western country much ; but curse me if I can stand so much etiquette; it always takes me so unawares."—Chicago Democrat.
