Me to recall to you a few of the leading facts which you has* hear d. — (ltenesved applause.) l• these ° t' the tint of these—at lust the one that leads me to consider alseieX k I have to make first—is one that I was not aware of ;lass Of u f l e very recently, - which is the view' exhibited of the pro ' steak °I the Institution by our mere numbers. I do not here t l le : n_ o; only a t ::: insured of our investments, of our sects ' 'move no ehYthin of tl that sort. Look mere numbers.

Now a ti ad that in the year 911, wlien the Society was instituted, we he can with a small nest-egg of 40 members—(Laughter)—and it did 't look well f - e (Ren e or the year 1816, that the eggs laid then weye y o laughter.) I also find that during the first sixyears of ° h e ;! t Y'' existence, 212 were the sum total of our chickens. — • iteZs-ar , And here I may observe, that the first thing that 'Ne ate r is the great caution with which the lives nuist have beei . i Yea rs for of the 49 members who were 'admitted in 1815, 3a We e ,7go, eleven still remalu upon the books, after deducting many u B'.Feellalerea their policies, and who, for aught we know, may be dale etin " i i• Then, of the 17 who ,joined them in the year 1816. after and ee te g 'many surrenderers, there are still three upon the books C! . 1(1,t: 2 21 2 who joined the society during the first six Survive. o he(i s p ai ' a ce, nearly 60 surrendered their policies, but 49 still (Ile „`" i h a nse.)

One fact which I have ss it lveet ra e e l ' else which, above all ethers, testifies the solidity of these whieehasnts ; and It is, the regularity and the promptness with • 'iast,,ie interest on the loans is invariably paid.

Mr. Snewing, of the Northumberland Arms, 77, Wells-street, Oxford-street, said :—I received a letter from America, the postage of which was not paid, and I paid F 3., the demand made, thinking that it came from a friend. However, I found that the con tents were neither more nor less than a lithographed letter, in which were the particulars of some schemes of lotteries to be drawn next month. The letter was dated William-street, New York, April 2, 1850, and represented that the holder of a ticket might be en titled to 100,000 dollars, less 1,5 per cent., and other great pecuniary advantages. The paragraph which led to the application to Mr. Robinson was as follows : " Persons desiring to invest cab remit Bank of Eng land notes, or where the amount is less than 51., or an uneven sum, may deposit it with Mcssr,. Wilitn , T and Smith, Thane,t-; , lice, Temple-bar, London, or 32, Church street, Liverpool, sending me a certificate of deposit with their order, or in bills on the London or Liverpool Bank, the amount to be calculated at the rate of four and three:quarter dollars to the sovereign." This letter was signed " Russell, agent, 126, William-street." I called at Messrs. Willmer and Smith's, and saw Mr. Robinson, who represented them. I complained that I had to pay a shilling for a communication which ought not to have been sent to me at all, and I stated that I should publicly state the facts to Sir Peter Laurte, in order that the En glish public might be put completely upon their guard as to the experiment of embarking in such specula tions. Mr. Robinson assured me that he knew nothing of the party calling himself W. Russell. Sir PETER LAURIE.—As has been always my cus tom, I sent to Mr. Robinson notice of Mr. Snewing's intention to appear at the Mansion-house on the sub ject, and I received a request from Mr: Robinson, that he might be allowed time to communicate with his principals respecting it. I am glad to find that both gentlemen have attended punctually. Mr. Robinson said, I am the clerk and agent of Messrs. Willmer and Smith. We know nothing of the letters of the kind received by Mr. Snewing, but we have a newspaper, and three weeks or a month ago there came over a vast number of prospectuses and handbills from America, with a communication requesting that we would circulate them through the country. Knowing that it would be illegal to do anything of the kind, we sent the papers back, and when I was called upon by Mr. Snewing I wrote to Liverpool to my principals upon the subject, aticl re ceived the following answer : THE ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

(Before Mr. Wrruam and a Bench of Magistrates.) This morning the sessions were held at the Guild hall, Westminster. As usual, however, there was no business for the jury, of whom 72 were in due course in attendance upon their summons. The grand jury having been sworn, Mr. lirrrnAm addressed them and said, that they had been again brought from their homes, no doubt at great personal and pecuniary inconvenience, to take their part in the " farce" which, under a clause in the Act of Parliament, it was compulsory to per form one day in every sessions, at a large and useless expense to the county. Bat so long as the clause was permitted to exist, so long would the house holders of the city and liberties of Westminster be called upon to assist in the "farce." There being no business for them to discharge, all he had to do was, on behalf of the county, to thank them for their at tendance, and to say that they were at liberty to go home again.—(Laughter.)

" Liverpool, April 17. " Dear Sir,—The explanation of the affair of the lot tery, about which Mr. Snewing called upon you is briefly this:—About a fortnight ago or more we received, per steamer, from our friends Willmer and Rogers, in New York, a letter, requesting us to become agents in this country for the sale of shares in one of the state lot teries—we think that of Maryland. There accompanied it an acWertisement for insertion to a large extent in the London papers. It was of course illegal, and we could not do it, and by the next steamer we returned the as hole of the papers referring to the affair. The advertisement had certainly our names with the premises here, and at Thanet-place, in London, named as agents, and where shares and further information could be ob tained, but it was never published in this country, and we could not have supposed that any prospectus or copy would have been circulated in America until it was as certained that we could or would act as agents. We do not know Mr. Russell, of Now York, at all. "It appears that Mr. Snewing's anger is very mach misplaced. If he had made an inquiry at either esta blishment, he could have ascertained that we were not acting at all as agents, and have never agreed to do so, or authorised the use of our names, and we are clearly not responsible for what another man may publish at 2,000 miles distance. We may observe that the parties in America have acted in perfect good faith we believe, and with no evil intentions according to their notions. Lotteries are legal there in most states, as they once were in this country; and we believe they were not aware that the sale of shares in a lottery carried on in another country was illegal in England.—We are, dear sir, yours truly, " WILLIIER and SMITH. " Mr. G. V. Robinson." Sir PETER LAURIE—I am very glad that the sub ject has been brought forward here; and I consider the attendance of Mr. Snewing and Mr. Robinson— the one to state the matter of complaint, and the other to give an explanation—is very creditable to both parties. We know that a great deal has been said about the iniquity of certain German lotteries, the schemes of which were published all over the country some time ago, but I did not suppose that after an end had been put to that system of monstrous humbug by the press, America, with her high cha racter for the payment of money demanded by equitable claimants, could have taken it into her heed to make an experiment upon our credulity, by holding out large rewards for the venture of small amounts. It is necessary to state that lam perfectly satisfied with the disclaimer which has been made. My daily experience shows to me that, as steam and other scientific operations advance, the science of scheming goes on at as rapid a pace, and I shall be always most happy to do all I can to obtain restitution for those who are the victims to the vil lanous ingenuity of foreigner!, as well as of our own country men. ------- 1 C'\,- /,, • ,7_________ . -e----z-- (v , / ( /, --r2 - , . , 4 \ , , :4 , , li : , 4 5-.1. - -,......- 1, I I y Z . 1 t; ,- k t ‘ . l , 1- ; Aligi A.,.v.,„,,,, , ; (02.1 • .11 -- -, lz _ 4 ~:,....„, ~, ' , 1-7 Zt,-11` 7"‘71----,..-,. ~,ri - *i; ( - 1 ' ig si • ---' -- --„ ---- \ , t :, ‘..Pith 1 i. , 6 \ re , 1 i;.

Mr. PARRY said he was instructed on behalf of the defendants, against whom bills of indictment had been found by the grand jury on Wednesday last, at Clerken well, for keeping open the Argyll-rooms in Great Windmill-street, Haymarket. As the Court was aware, the same defendants were under more than one indictment in respect of these'rooms already, and it could not but be a source of regret that the Crown—supposing indeed that the Crown could in any way be concerned iu such proceedings—had not been represented by some more respectable person than a common informer, whose real motive must of necessity be of a questionable character. The appli cation he had now to make was, seeing that the de fendants were already under bail to appear to the previous indictments, in which they were charged with the same offence, alleged to have been committed at the same place— some of which indictments were pending in the Court of Queen's Bench and some in the Central Criminal Court—that they should not be compelled to put in any further bail. These new indictments would be removed at once into the Central Criminal Court, where there was already a batch of others to which they were under bail to appear. That being so, he should submit that there was no ground for calling upon the defendants to put in additional bail. If they were ordered to do so, it was quite clear they would be putting in two sets of bail for one charge. Mr. WITUAU said that the Assistant-Judge had directed that the warrant should issue if bail were not put in to-day, arid, therefore, he could not in terfere. The defendants, with the exception of Emile Lau rent, who was absent from illness, then entered into their own recognizances of 2001. each. Laurent was ordered to put in bail on Monday. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. ' Eliza Driscoll, a woman who spoke with a strong Cork brogue, was brought before Sir Peter Laurie, charged with having committed acts of imposture. Mr. S. Cooper Christmas, of Walthamstow, ware houseman, said—On the 12th instant the prisoner came to me at my warehouse, No. 4, Wood-street, Cheapside, and told me she resided at Walthamstow, near the Cock Inn ; that she had come up to Spital fields-market with her cart; that something was the matter with the cart, and that the loan of five shillings would oblige her, that she might get away from the market. She told me her name was Catherine Smith, and I let her have the five shillings. I made some inquiry afterwards, which led to the belief that she was an impostor. On Saturday last I happened to get into a railway train, and she sat next to me; but when I spoke to her upon the subject she denied all knowledge of the circumstance. She then gave the name of Eliza Collyer. I have no doubt tis to her identity. Mr. Fry, a magistrate of the county of Essex, said —The prisoner is well known to me and my brother magistrates. Of all the impostors I have ever seen she is certainly beyond all comparison the most ac complished. Several families, and particularly thp ladies, who are most likely to be imposed upon, have been her victims for the last six or seven years. She has one son in a London prison, and another son con fined for felony elsewhere; and she is no doubt bring ing up her family to the practices by which she has been supporting herself. I shall give one instance of her tact and skill as a professional. She called upon a lady at. Stratford of the name of Soams, and pathe tically represented that she had a child lying dead, and that she was without the means of laying it in the ground. She sought assistance to defray the funeral charges, and the lady expressed her willingness to give the aid required, but said that before she would render it she must ascertain the truth of the state ment. The prisoner thereupon conducted her home, and pointed to the bed, on which there appeared to be a corpse with a. sheet over it. The evidence Was quited satisfactory, and the lady con tributed half a sovereign for the charitable purpose and retired. Upon leaving the house, however, it occurred to her that she might have been imposed upon, and she listened for a short time under the windove. She *as hot long in that situation when she heard a voice cry out in a querulous tone, " Mother, how long am I to remain dead ?" The prisoner, who had attempted frequently to in terrupt Mr. Fry, and declared that he and the other Esse. magistrates Were the greatest liars to be found round the metropolis,. said, " I Cant stand this any longer ;'I can't contain myself at all. The corpse story has been regularly got up amongst them. There is not a word of truth in it." Sir PETER Littlgta--You shall have sufficient opportunities of making yottr detente, and proving that the corpse was a genuine one.—(A laugh.) T. W ' Manning 0 I Metropolitan police-sergeant) sa id—l know the prisoner. She did not reside at Walthamstow on the 12th inst. Four of .41, te days ago I received a letter from the gentleman who was first questioned, stating that a Woman, who, from the description given I knew to be the prisoner, had de frauded hitti. Her real ttatne is Eliza Driscoll. The philernan said he would come over to me in a day or two, and last evening he came accordingiy4 and I took him to Wells-street, Stratford, a notorious place for Impostors,and call e d h e r ou t of her lodg ings. He at once identified her as the impostor. She said to me that she had not been in London for three weeks, and .1 took her to the station. Her talent as an impostor is undoubted. The prisoner oh, then, God kowns the story your --. Worship heard about the corpse is all untrue. I'll tell you how it was. I had a child that was taken ill on a Saturday, d died on the M on d a y ; and a id lady came and said she wished to see an Irish person laid out. I consented, and •she saw my child lying dead in the Irish fashion ; and certainly the child had a complexion just as if it was alive, but it was dead enougb, sure eno ugh. We, however, k e pt th e b o dy a week before we buried it. That was the thing that led to the licit the Essex Magistrates have been spread ing about against me. ft' PPM L AUR IE—How long is it since this hap pened ? The prisoner—About three years ago. Sir PETRI, L AURIE (to Mr. Fry) —now l ong i s it since the lady you speak of heard the remonstrance of the speaking corpse ? Mr. Fry—About fourteen or sixteen months ago._ Laughter.) Sir PETER LAURIE —Then it appears that there were two transactions of the kind. The p r is o n e r — Not at all. Mr. Fry speaks of the report which was spread about in consequence of what happened three years ago. I have been the mother of thirteen chil dren, and I never brought them up to be impostors either dead or alive.—(Laug hter. ) The police-sergeant said it was quite impossible to find any impostor in E n gland so resolute in carrying on the fraudulent trade. Mr. Fry—lt would appear that every word she utters is spoken with a view of deceiving. The prisoner—l admit that I got the five shillings from the gentleman that charged me; but if it was not for you, Mr. Fry, and other magistrates of the county, L need not be in this situation at present. You have tny inroperty amongst you, as you well know.--(t1 laugh.) _1 am charged, too, with having gone under a false name, although I only changed maiden name. That's my marriage name into my Ell the rest, a lie; tx?alla•mrgewat said the prisoner had been con victed as an ii2priiitot scveral times. :TER LAurit —1 ewe see that she is a mis- Sir Pi ive her am opportunity of tress of the art, and shall g deciding between a city and a county gaol for the term of three months. The prisoner—l confess I received the money and hat offence•• I am willing to suffer pu nishment for t but I never was spoke n to b y a corpse in all my life. Committed. . Mr. G. V. Robineon clerk and agent to Messrs. Willmer and Smith, of No. 4, Thanet-place, Temple bar, appeared before Sir Peter Laurie under the re mora circumstances stated !nlow. (IN THE COMMITTEE.)

An interesting story is told by the Glasgow Satur day Post of the adventures of a young lady, Miss Mary Brown. She was the daughter of a gentleman lately dead, and inherited a small property from him, on which she lived. Her only near relative in Glas gow was a " ne'er-do-weel" brother, a cab-driver, who, having himself been disinherited, constantly teazed her and extorted money from her. Having friends in America, she determined to emigrate, and took her passage by the City of Glasgow steamer, which left on Tuesday. Her brother, disappointed and vexed at her intended departure, formed a scheme to detain her. A trumpery claim was reared up, and a inedi • tatione fugm warrant applied for. This he swore to, and got the warrant. Armed with this authority, and attended by two sheriff's officers, he watched the sailing of the vessel. Miss Brown, with her friends, was on board ; th e y rema i ne d with her till the signal for sailing was given, and, bidding her farewell, they went on shore and walked down the quay. Now was the cab-driver's opportunity. Seeing his sister de serted by her friends, and no help at hand, he sneaked on board the vessel and caused his sister to be appre hended in the presence of the passengers, the ship's crew, and the immense multitude of on-lookers. In vain did she remonstrate against such shameful conduct-- violence was resorted to, and she was dragged on shore, and, refusing to listen to their prop sa I 5 Bell. fo r letting her off, she was carried before S heriff now freed Tne Sheriff, after hearing the case, dete_c h te .f f d the trick, and dismissed the case. She left the S yr: a. office, and met her friends ; she was from her tormentors. A new dilemma now arose.

A Gourock steamer was l eav ing. the quay, Tn e Gourock steamer was rapidly overhauling the huge City of Glasgow, when all on a sudden the latter was seen to " bout ship," and steam towards Greenock. The cause of this sudden change arose from an accident which happened to the oil cistern on Inard. A steam-tug was dispatched to Greenock for a fresh sappiy of oil, and hence the delay which proved so fortunate for the persecuted orphan. Taking a small boat Miss Brown was rowed towards the vessel, and received on board amid the cheers of the pas sengers. A new matter of consternation now arose the captain, thinking sho would not get away, had landed all her luggage at Greenock, and there was no hope of getting it. Further vexation was put an end to by the return of the tug carrying the oil, with all Miss Brown's luggage on board. Certain friends at Greenock had seen her luggage on the quay and forwarded it with the tug. Thus we re all further impediments happily got over. P RIN TERS' PENSION bOCIETY.-11r.

Mr. John Lawrence, a fishmonger, No. 2, Mot combe-street, Belgrave-square, and who is said to be a man of considerable property, was placed at the bar before Mr. Long on the charge, as entered upon the police-sheet, of " feloniously obtaining possession of a - title-deed or counterpart lease of premises, 2, Mot combe-street, the property of Mr. Seth Smith, by inciting John William Jones to steal the same from his employer's office, No. 30, Somerset-street, Port man-square. The MAGISTRATE considered that the case, taking all the circumstances into consideration, was one of a very peculiar character, and he could not say at pre sent what shape it might ultimately assume; the " inciting to steal" had, no doubt, been clearly made out, but not so the felonious intent, with which the prisoner was charged. It was a matter, which re quired full and further consideration, and he should, therefore, remand the prisoner until next Thursday. Upon that day another important witness, necessary to the completion of the case, will be in attendance. Mr. LONG said he had no objection to the prisoner putting in bail, himself in 4001. and two sureties in 2001. each, for his being forthcoming on the day named ; he should, however, require twenty-four hours' notice, in order to afford time for the neces sell inquiry with regard to the respectability and competency of the parties whose names might be given in.

WORSHIP-STREEF. Amelia Gill alias Shield, a young woman of lady like appearance - and deportment, who was blind in one eye, and_ was stated to be the daughter of a gen tleman holding a situation in a Government office, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, upon a charge of felony, under the following rather peculiar circumstances : It appeared from the statements of Sergeant Hare vey, of the G division, and other witnesses, that on the preceding afternoon the prisoner called at the shop of Messrs. Toros and Joseph, silversmiths and jewellers, in Ludgate-hill, and selected various costly articles of plate, to the aggregate value of nearly 2001., which she requested them to forward to her residence, at 56, Farringdon-street, and they would be paid for on delivery. Some misgivings having been entertained respecting her from the suspicious manner in which she conducted herself, one of the shopmen was directed to watch her closely as soon as the left the shop, and he accordingly followed her about for some hours, during which period she entered several other shops, one of which was that of a boot maker named Dodson, in Chiswell-street, Fins- bury-square, on leaving which she stealthily pulled out a pair of boots from the inside of' her dress, which she hastily wrapped in a handkerchief and secreted them underneath her shawl. She next en tered the shop of a pawnbroker in the City-road, at which the shopman ascertained upon inquiry that she had endeavoured to dispose of a gold ring, and sus pecting that the article had been stolen from his mas ter's warehouse, he again pursued the prisoner and gave her into the custody of a policeman, who took the pair of boots from beneath her shawl, but the ring she had attempted to pledge was not found in her pos session, and it was supposed that she had contrived to get rid of it on her way to the station-house. Sergeant Harvey stated that he had called at both the addresses given by the prisoner, the first of which was a respectable public-house in Farringdon-street, where nothing whatever was known respecting her; and that the premises in Wood-street were in the occupation of a wholesale manufacturing firm, who had been for some time past pestered with repeated inquiries for " Miss Gill," who was, of course, an en tire stranger to them.

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 26.—The arrivals of grain and flour since Tuesday are unimportant, but the export of Indian corn, in the three days, is 12,248 quarters. There was a good attendance of millers and dealers at our corn exchange this morning. Ihe lower qualities of wheat brought Id per bushel over Tuesday's prices, and there was a better sale than of late for other sorts at full prices. There was no improvement, however, in either the price or sale of flour. Oats and oatmeal fully supported late rates. Barley, beans, and peas were without change. Indian corn was in good request, at an advance of fully 6d per quarter on Tuesday's rates; the price of fine American new yellow corn was established at 2Ss 6d per 460 lbs. NEWBURY, APRIL 25.—Our supply of wheat Is moderate, but fully equal to the demand. The continued dull state of the flour markets, both east and west, together with a decline of is Sd per sack in the home market, occasion a dull lifeless trade, at barely the rates obtainable last week. Barley, short supply, with but little demand at unaltered rat, s. Beans, oats, and peas, short supply, but the demand is extremely slack at rather reduced rates. WAKEFIELD, APRIL 26.—We have a limited arrival of wheat, only a small proportion of which is fresh thrashed English; this description makes Is advance, whilst foreign and granaried parcels are not taken very freely at last week's prices. Barley meets a good inquiry at improving prices. Oats are id per stone, and shelling is per load higher. Beans are rather dearer. New. WHEAT, per qr. 601bs per bushel:— e. s.

EXETER, APRIL 26.—Cattle slaiket—The supply was not sr) large as last week, but the demand was more brisk.

We cannot quote any advance ) but the Market was firm at last week's prices, 4s 9d to 51, and a greater pro. portion was sold at the latter figure than was the case on Fri day last. Barley must be quoted at 3s for malting samples, and in some instances a trifling advance on this figure was given. Oats, Is lldto2s 2d per bushel.
