CALEDON lAN ,D RA s. I LWAY. TO THE SHAREHOT ER An anonymous advertisement appears in this morning's papers, recommending Mr. Alderman Thompson, Mr. Campbell, of In verawe, and Mr. Locke, for election to the Board, in substitution of three of the Gentlemen proposed by the London Central Committee. The anonymous advertiser must be ignorant that previously to the late meeting, Mr. Alderman Thompson and Mr. Campbell, of In verawe, were requested by the Committee to permit themselves to be nominated, but refused such permission ; and that Mr. Alderman Thompson peremptorily and publicly persisted in this re fusal at the meeting, and, by so doing, occasio n ed a modification in the Committee's list. As to Mr. Locke, it is true that the Committee have net contemplated his joining the Board. His abilities are unquestioned ; but his appointment as Engineer to the Company (an office in which it may be important to retain his services) obviously precludes his being at the same time a Director. His position as arbiter between the Company and the Contractor, for the maintenance of the permanent way of our line, also, in your Committee's view, disqualifies him for the Board. Nor, in considering this question, can the Committee overlook his connexion with some other Companies, particularly the Scottish Central, Scottish Midland, Dundee and Perth, and the Greenock Companies, and the influences to which he is thus naturally exposed. Our fatal entanglements with these Companies every shareholder is new deploring, and without attributing them to Mr. Locke, the Committee stilt think that existing circumstances obviously point to a reconstruction of our Board, by means of parties wholly independ ent of these Companies. Therefore, of the parties thus anonymously suggested, two have already declined to serve, and the third seems, under the circum stances, not to be very happily suggested. On the other hand, the names objected to in the list of the Central Committee include those of the very parties whose abilities, energy, and perseverance have been already amply tested, and seem more particularly to challenge the future confidence of the shareholders. The shareholders are respectfully warned against any insidious attempts, from whatever quarter proceeding, to get up a factious opposition to individuals included in the Committee's list. Its general propriety is unimpeached. Great labour has been encountered, and difficulties have been overcome in its construction ; a due regard has been had to the diversity of interests requiring:to be represented, a circumstance of material importance in the Company's present position. The Clydesdale shareholders are peculiarly represented by Messrs. Baird and Johnstone. Mr. McMicking has a preponderating interest in the preference shares, while the ordinary shareholders, in the person of Mr. Fawcett, will have their interests protected by one of the largest holders of this stock. The parties thus associated are prepared to act harmoniously together. The Com mittee pointedly disclaim all idea of dictating to the shareholders ; but, at the same time, they venture to remind them that:the compro mise under which the Directors have resigned having cast upon the Committee the task of providing for the reconstruction of the Board, they have conscientiously discharged it to the best of their ability, and they feel satisfied that the breaking up of the arrangements which have been provisionally effected, and which now await the shareholders' ratification, mast occasion serious injury to an parties interested, whatever may be the pretexts or the motives of those who instigate the opposition With these views the Committee leave the subject in the hands of the shareholders. They remind voters by proxy of the desirableness of their immediately forwarding written instructions to the Secretary at the address and to the effect suggested in the Committee's adver tisement of the 6th instant, and which will be found afterwards daily inserted in the " Times." They also remind the very numerous body of voters resident in London and the neighbourhood, that their personal attendance at the Meeting, which is to be held at the Freemasons' Tavern, on TUESDAY next, the 12th instant, at Twelve o'clock, is of vital Importance, as it is quite uncertain in what manner the Direc tors will employ the proxies entrusted to them.

LONDON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1850. On Thursday evening the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for Bute obtained leave to bring in a Bill for removing the un j us t an d i m p o liti c pro hibiti on against marriage with the sister of a deceased wife, imposed by the sth and Gth Will. IV. , c. 54, com monly called Lord LYNDHURST'S Act. The im portant question has now been so fully argued on both sides, every proposition contained in tile con templated measure has been so thoroughly discussed, as well within as outside the walls of Parliament, that we might be well excused from entering more par ticularly into the subject, were it not for th e ran corous and unmitigated hostility exhibited by a cer tain party, who desire to govern the consciences of their fellow-men, and to compel others to adopt the narrow and limited views by which they themselves are influenced. It is eminently a question of civil and religious liberty, affecting " the most interesting, the most important and the most sacred franchise" which belongs to the condition of man—the liberty of choosing the companion of his sorrows and his toils, the mother of his future children, and the guardian and protector of those who had been deprived of a mother's care and a mother's sympathies in their early youth. There is no relationship of life in which such perfect freedom and such unlimited toleration should be allowed. The affections of the heart can not be chilled or restrained by the absurd restrictions imposed by narrow-minded bigots, who would insist upon a blind and unreasoning obedience to their own standard of doctrine. Every concession has already been made, in the vain hope of conciliating these inveterate opponents, but in vain. Every alteration that has been allowed, every change has only rendered them more energetic and determined'still to coerce a large and influential body of their fellow-subjects. In obedience to their pretended scruples—not for themselves, for it is not even alleged' tilt any person can be compelled to con tract snob 9,5 ., rriage without their own free will and consent, but on account of others, who see nothing wrong either in a religious or moral point of view therein—the matter was delayed and procrastinated until the very close of the session, and then necessa rily withdrawn from want of time to carry it through the hereditary branch of the Legislature. The Fabian policy was, unfortunately, but too succesgful during the past year; but such a course cannot a se cond time be attended with similar results. The Right Hoeurable Gentleman who in troduced the Bill, and has taken upon himself the duty of removing a most unnecessary and vexatious grievance, cannot be again entrapped. He must be well aware of the imperative necessity of pressing the subject forward with all the speed which the forms of the House allow. He must perceive that concessions are worse than useless—that they are positively mischievous, their only effect being to in spire the enemy with new vigour and new courage, and to induce them to redouble their exertions in the vain hope of neutralizing the measure, and totally de priving it of its efficiency ; warned by past experience, he will persevere with fixed re solution and determination, and by carrying the matter to a triumphant termination, will earn for himself the cordial and grateful thanks of many thousands of his fellow-subjects, who are now pining under the " hope deferred that maketh the heart sick," lamenting their own anomalous positions, and the painful obscurity in which the future state and condition of their beloved offspring is involved. The present Bill is substantially the same as that of last year, which was sanctioned and affirmed by repeated majorities in the House of Commons, no less than 320 Members being present on one occasion. Its main object is directed against the monster grievance, the prohibition of marriage with the sister of a deceased wife, although it would manifestly be impossible to retain restrictions upon such connexions in more distant degrees, such as with the niece of a former partner. He has announced two amendments of considerable importance : the first will have the effect of protecting parties to marriages recently contracted from any consequences arising out of the law of the land, and rendering their issue legitimate. This provision is so equitable in itself, so essential in every respect, that the measure would be incomplete and valueless without it. What could be more absurd than to declare that all such mar riages celebrated previous to the year 1835, and sub sequent to the year 1850, should be valid and binding, and the offspring legitimate, while all nuptials cele brated in the interval should be utterly null and void, and the issue bastardized ? The marriages could, indeed, be solemnized a second time, the parties could, at a trifling inconvenience, become legally man and wife ; but the innocent children would be the only sufferers. Those would be the victims, whom it should be the object of the Legislature to protect rather than persecute. The other amendment relates solely to the clergy of the Church of England. By the former Bill those persons, although not compelled to officiate at such marriages, if they really entertained conscientious ob jections thereto, were still protected from any un pleasant consequences, in case they thought proper to act, and not to drive their parishioners into dissent by a perverse and obstinate refusal. It was well known that many of the most pious, learned, and exemplary divines saw no solid objections to such union, save that the Act of 5 and 6 Wm. IV. rendered them inoperative, and that if that difficulty were removed, they would willingly render their assistance at such ceremonies. Many of the prelates of the Church also entertained similar opinions. It is now intended " not to interfere with the law or discipline of the Church, but to leave it to the clergy to celebrate these marriages or not, ac cording to their own consciences, without any fear of civil consequences, the law of the Church being left as before." We confess that we do not quite under stand this statement. If it be intended that it shall be quite optional with the clergyman to act as in his soul and conscience he may deem right, without any fear of untoward re sults, whatever course be may think proper to adopt, nothing could be more correct. Claiming the most implicit freedom of conscience for all, we would not require any man to act contrary to his own im pressions or to his interpretation of the Holy Scriptures. But if, while a supposed liberty is allowed, and that an individual who may chance to entertain different views from his Diocesan, is to be subjected to ecclesiastical censures, to be subjected to heavy costs, and perhaps deprived of his preferments, then, we say, that the fancied relief will be little better than a " mockery, a delu sion, and a snare ;" that it will, so far as members of the Church of England are concerned, be "keeping the word of promise to the ear but breaking it to the hope," and that its only result will be to swell the ranks of Dissent, and make many depart from the Church wherein such absurdities could be tolerated. After the emphatic manner in which the prosecu tion of the labours of sanitary improvements were enforced by the advice of her Most Gracious MA JESTY in her Royal Speech to the assembled Parlia ment, we can no longer entertain any doubts as to the speedy realisation of many of our hopes in that particular. It was nobly suggested by the SOVE REIGN, that ameliorations of this character should be introduced as the best and fittest testimony of our gratitude to GOD for his beneficent re moval of a destructive pestilence. The recommenda tion we are confident will not be lost upon the Legislature. Neither will it be forgotten by the Government, from which it may be said to have in directly emanated—a Government which must be re garded as associated with these kinds of reformatory enterprises, so long as the Earl of CARLISLE remains at the head of the Woods and Forest Department. Conspicuous among all the objects long held in view by the Commissioners at Gwydyr House is that branch of the Sanitary Question, for the advancement of which the people of Lon don especially are indebted directly and almost exclusively to Mr. GEORGE ALFRED WALKER, the well-known Surgeon. It is of course unnecessary to say that we allude in this to the imminent neces sity for extramural interments. Having thoroughly exposed the horrible consequences of allowing an unlimited number of burials in our City graveyard ; having disclosed the atrocities and indecencies com mitted in those horrible pits of corruption ; having conducted the mass of the public in imagination into those disgusting sources of pestilence, which he himself, with an admirable indifference to his own comfort, had visited in person—. Mr. WALKER has now directed his attention, and with no small success, to the elucidation of a somewhat greater difficulty, namely, the actual plans by which the evils of such systems of interment can be at once and permanently remedied. For the pur-. pose of solving this problem—a problem on the solu tion of which is mainly dependent the health and longevity of our citizens—he has recently published a pamphlet,* like all his other pamphlets, remark able fur its lucidity and its eminently practical nature, in which he has endeavoured to ex plain a reasonable scheme towards the es tablishment of certain National Cemeteries. His calculations, we are gratified to observe, are singu larly well calculated to diminish the exorbitant charges at present noticeable in connexion with the existing system of intramural sepulture. How enormous those charges are it is anything but difficult, unhappily, to demonstrate. For example, it is estimated on an average that the funeral, exclusive of ground or burial fees, fur an actually pone person, is not less than 135., for an artizan amounts to between 51. and 101., and for a memb er o f the middle classes is carried to the extent cf either 501. or 701., sums in many instances which must necessarily press with peculiar hardship on the survivors. " The money expended," says our pam phleteer, " for interments in London during the year does not fall much short of ONE MILLION or pounds sterling : the annual expense for Great Britain has been calculated at FIVE MILLIONS sterling." Here, therefore, is ample reason for desiring that in the recti fication of the evils of intramural interment we should also effect simultaneously a diminution of the ex travagant charges of undertakers. With the intention of aiding in the accomplishment of these two great * " Practical Suggestions for tho Establishment of National Cemeteries." By George Alfred Walker, Sur geon, 460 . 8 v0., pp. 16. London Longman and Co., 1849. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY and all-important reforms, Mr. G. A. WALKER has entered boldly upon the consideration of those diffi culties that have to be overcome in the enterprise. His more prominent opinions upon a matter to all of w, literally, of such vital importance, would at all times have been worthy of very general consi deration, but more especially and particularly so at a period when the Parliamentary session has been in augurated with a suggestion so emphatic as the one we have only observed to have fallen, as it were, from the lips of the SOVEREIGN. We turn, therefore, with more interest than ever to the hints thrown out by Mr, G. A. WALKER, towards the foundation cf National Cemeteries ; satisfied that those hints are not hastily thrown out by a sanitary reformer who has already distinguished himself so considerably. A general Act he considers, should at once be passed for the establishment of such cemeteries—these cemeteries being, hot the property of joint-stock companies, but national institutions. The following epitome of the suggestions con tained in the pamphlet now under consideration comprises its very pith and substance:— "1. That a general system of extramural sepulture shall be forthwith organized throughout Great Britain. '• 2. That medical wen be appointed to fill the ancient office of searcher,' and that no body be removed fur interment without a certificate of the cause and fact of death. "3. That interment of the dead during the summer quarters, within a period of days, be compulsory. " 4. That fir London common (and, if possible, Crown) lands in the neighbourhood of railways should be appro priated for General Cemeterial purposes—sidings or branch lines conveying the funerals into the ground it self, as proposed by me to the Select Committee on In terment in Towns in 1542. " 5. That the afternoons of Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday in each week be appropriated for the purpose. That on the alternate days, special trains may, if re quired, be provided. "6. That a central administration be appointed to un dertake every service (except the religious) connected with the burial of the dead at fixed and specified charges, which latter, however, shall not exceed certain maxima laid down therein. " 7. That the duty of providing for the interment of the dead be exclusively confined to the afore-mentioned Administration." Before the present session has far advanced we trust that schemes of this character may be submitted to the acceptance or refusal of the Legislature, satisfied as we are that the es tablishment of some such institutions as these National Cemeteries is the readiest means of preventing the recurrence of calamities like those produced by the Cholera. Let the remem brance of that dread pestilence, enforced as it is by the solemn advice of the QUEEN Regnant, act as an incitement to the labours of the Parliament in the way of sanitary amelioration. Now more than ever the Lords, the Commons, and the Government should feel that they are weighed down L by a terrible responsibility. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Assembly on Thursday, after rejecting, by considerable majorities, the several amendments pro posed in the Law of Public Instruction, passed the first four articles of the Law. The consideration of the remaining articles was postponed to Monday. It was rumoured at the Bourse on Thursday, that serious distubances had broken out at Lyons. The Patrie of that evening contains the following semi-official contradiction of the report :—" Telegra phic dispatches received this day in Paris announce that the departments enjoy the most profound tran quillity." The utmost tranquillity prevailed in Paris up to the hour of the departure of the post. M. RICHARDET has called npon Count LEO DE LABORDE to afford him satisfaction for the vulgar insult which his Countship (a pattern specimen of the old nobility) offered to him in the As sembly on Wednesday. The seconds have been chosen on each side, MM. NICOL ! BRAYMAND, and BURGARD, for M. RICHARDET; and MM. DE COISLIN, DE TURYILLE, and DE TREVENEUR, for Count LEO DE LABORDE. All the journals state that the mediation of France, in the dispute between England and Greece, has been accepted by both parties. The expedition against La Plata is detained at Brest by contrary winds. M. PEIRAM, a communal schoolmaster, was dis missed a short time since by the Prefect of the De partment of the Meuse on account of his republican opinions. His fellow-townsmen of Stenay im mediately elected M. PEIRATti to the municipal council of the town by a large majority. N. PROUDHON has been placed in solitary confine ment, since the seizure of his journal for an article attacking the PRESIDENT of the Republic. At the sitting of the Assembly, on Thursday, M. RICHARDET ascended the tribune for the purpose of calling the attention of the Assembly to the conduct of the President, who had suffered: M. LEO DE LABORDE to offer a gross insult to a Member and to the Assembly, without calling him to order. M. DUPIN, the President, declared, in reply, that he had not heard the interruption of hi. LEO DE LABORDE (probably the excellent President is deaf in his right ear), or he should have called him to order for having given utterance to au interruption which not only passed the bounds of common decency but which was conceived in terms the most reprehen sible. "If I had heard it," said M. Durnc, " I should have noticed it severely. I should have called its author to order, for he deserved it more than any interrupter in this Assembly has ever deserved it. I blame it openly, and I at once condemn the interruption and its author." It was rumoured in Paris on Thursday that the affair between MM. RICHARDET: and LEO DE LapoßDE.had been settled by the latter apologis ing. M. RICHARDET, who had the choice of weapon, chose pistols, and Count LEO DE LABORDE, who is an accomplished swordsman, refused to fight with them, and preferred making a retractation. PARIS, FRIDAY, FITE P.M.—The Bourse was an i_ mated to-day, and the price if Goverment Stock conti ❑ued to improve. The Five per Cents. opened at 96f. 40c., and closed at 96f. 50c. The Three per Cents. closed at 58f. 65c. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, FEB. 8. Luxembourg,2l4 —Namur and Liege, 7—Paris and Rouen, 23—Tours and :Nantes, SPAIN. The Espana has the following paragraph : "The Marquis de Labrador, who at the time of the death of Ferdinand VII., was Ambassador of Spain at Rome, and who has since resided in Paris, has published a letter, which he had addressed to M. Martinez de la Ross, arid in which he asserts that the father of our august Sovereign did not make a will, and that conse quently the will which was found four days after his death, is a forgery. As the Marquis is 80 years of age, and consequently has his mind rather weakened, our readers will judge of the value of his assertion, unsup ported as it is by proof." GERMANY. The Austrian Lloyd's states that the army of Bohemia, under the command of the Archduke ALBERT, consists of 80,000 men, nearly all picked troops. The Wiener Zeitung of the 30th ult. publishes the constitution for the Tyrol and the Voralberg. Orders have been given for the concentration of an army of 50,000 men on the Danube. The disaffected state of the Servians, the Valachs, and the Croatians have occasioned this concentration of forces. Letters from Pesth of the 25th ult. declare that the greatest indignation is felt against the Austrian Government fur the shameless manner in which it continually violates the capitulation of Comorn. By the capitulation a complete amnesty, with absolute security of person and property, was guaranteed to the Honveds constituting the garrison of the fortress, and now, in defiance of that capitulation, these un fortunate men are everywhere seised and forced to enter the Austrian service. The Honveds are gene rally seized by the Austrians in the dead of the night, and hurried off to regiments stationed out of Hungary. In Transylvania typhus is committing dreadful ravages among the soldiers and the inhabitants, and there is a murrain among the cattle and horses. Several persons accused of publishing libellous attacks on the King of PRUSSIA have been convicted recently at Berlin. The Hamburgh Correspondent, of the 2d, pub lishes the following letter from Eisenach of the 30th ultimo:— " our city, which is the asylum of the Duchess of Orleans, was lately visitt'd by Count O'Kelly, from Bruisels, who came to the Duchess on an extraordinary embassy, to inform her that the Orleans party were about to rise, but were dt terred from doing so by King Leopold. The result was still dubious. The Duchess is evidently in a state of considerable excitemeLt just now. She daily receives dispatches from France, and sends off many thither through her secretary, who is constantly closely engaged with her Royal Highness." SWITZERLAND. It is said that in consequence of the threats of Prussia and Austria, and the remonstrances of the Government of France to the Swiss Federal Direc tory, MazziNl, and the other Italian refugees, have asked permission to pass through France on their way to England, which permission has been granted, and they will in consequence forthwith leave Swit zerland. The National Gazette of Basle has the following : —" Some young men, who are members of a singing club, having passed the frontier carrying a flag, which was not of a political character,' having on it merely a lyre and a musical inscription, were stopped by some gendarmes and ordered to surrender their flag. Having refused to do this they were taken before the Mayor of Bareelden, who detained them whilst he sent for some troops by whom they were surrounded. Seven of them were arrested and taken to St. Louis chained. The Swiss authorities have sent a complaint to those of France on this subject." TURKEY. Accounts have been received from Constantinople to the 15th ult. At that date diplomatic relations had not been re-established between the Austrian Inter nuncio and the Porte. ITALY. The Giornale di Roma of the 28th ult. publishes a notification from the Government Commissi , ,n of Rome, informing the public that the lands belong ing to the State in the provinces of Bologna, Ferrara, Ravenna, and Forli are to be publicly sold. The same journal publishes the regulations for execution of public works by the poor. Romans only are admitted to these works; they must besides be weak of body or mind, so as to be unable to earn their bread otherwise, or else prove their absolute inability to find work. The public works in question are of a nature to be executed by any one ; they consist of earth-works and street cleaning. The workmen are divided into com panies of 100 men each; they are under the command of an inspector, of assistants, and corporals, temporary officers, having no right to retiring pensions. Every workman has fifteen bajocchi (eighty centimes) a-day. The Giornalc di Roma adds, that during the preceding week the work men were 2,131. Letters from Rome of the 29th state that Gen. Fernandez de Cordova arrived there on the 27th, and that the battallion Reyna Goberna dova embarked on the 25th for Spain, with part of the cavalry and half a battery. Some of the German papers publish a letter which contains the following passage : " I can give you the important news that the Pope has come to an arrangement with the Catholic powers relative to the Constitution to be given to the Pontifical States. According to that arrangement, the motu proprio of last year, is to remain the basis of the new Consti tution. The States are to be divided into four legations, each of which will have at its head a cardinal as political chief. A member of the Sacred College is to be President of the Council of Ministers, with the title of Cardinal Secretary of State. The President and Vice- President of the Consulate of State are to belong to the same body. The relative proportion between the faits and ecclesiastics in the other employments has not yet been determined on." By a notification of Baron Puchner, dated the Isl inst., the public of Venice is informed that the currency of the communal paper of that city is definitively con tinued to the 28th of February. From the 15th of February the forced currency of this paper is to ccaie, and the public offices alone will receive it in payment of taxes, &c., till the end of March, when the communal paper is to be without value.

The shareholders in the London and North-Western Railroad will be called upon, at the ensuing meeting, to give their opinion, if not their votes, upon the audit question, and as it it easy to accomplish the most diffi cult task where the will exists, there is no doubt that a satifactory system of private audit can be established. In some comarks on the Share Market, the editor of the Railway Circular of to-day remarks, that— " Great Western, have been slightly affected by the operations of Bears. We can, however, assure our friends, that, at the meeting to be held on the 14th inst., the present condition and the future prospects of this company will be shown to be more satisfactory than at any period since 1845. Caledonians have improved, since the resignation of the directors has become a matter of fact. London and North-Westerns are very firm. " Now that money can be borrowed on debentures fully 1 per cent. cheaper than last year, that most of the American stocks are from 10 to 20 per cent. higher, and with the rise in our own Government Funds, it follows almost as a matter of certainty that railway shares must partake of the general improvement caused by the in creased commerce and weath of the country."

The LORD CaLiNcELLoa gave judgnaent thin morning in this case, the uremia:lts in •Allich were concluded on Wclnesday la,t, The case came before his Lordship upon appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Wigram overruling two demurrers put in by the de fendants to the bill filed by the plaintiff. The bill was filed by Mr. Bagshaw, the high steward of Heiwich, the Member of Parliamer.t and a magistrate of the borough, for an account of the moneys received by the directors of the Eastern ',Union Railway, an for and injunction t,) restrain them trom applying the moneys in taeir hands to any other purposes than those prescribed by the Ear wich Railway and Pier Act and the Eastern Union and fiadleigh Junction Act. The plaintiff is the proprietor of twenty-fire shares, and he complained, on behalf of himself and other shareholders, that the defendants were applying the produce of the shares to the completion of the Norwich line before that of the Harwich. The de• fendanta demurred on two grounds, want of equity and want of parties; want of equity, because, according to the construction of the two Acts, and ou the authority of a resolution of the shareholders, they were properly applying their money to the gsneral purposes of the company; and want, of parties, because Bagshaw and those who complained were members of a corporation which had in its corporate capacity sanctioned their pro ceedings. The Vice-Chancellor over-ruled both demurrers, declaring it as his opinion that the defendants were departing from the objects con templated by the Legislature, and that the plaintiffs had a right of complaint. From this decision the defendants appealed, and on that appeal the Lord Chancellor now gave judgment. Ilia Lordship, after going at some length into the case, state 1 his opinion to be that the Court below had come to a right conclusion, and ordered the judgment of the Vice- Chancellor overruling the demurrer to be affirmed with costs.

His Lordship also order the bill to be dismissed against the bona fide creditors, the costs to be paid by the plaintiff; but those costs were to be recovered by her fa ein the def,ndant, whose conduct the Master of the Rolls, in the course of his judgment, designated a most deplorable perversity. The COURT then proceeded to hear consent petitions and petitions, which occupied his Lordship tho whole morning. VICE-CIIANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)

A discussion took place in the court this morning, respecting the great difficulty which the defendant in this case had been put to, owing to his not being able to obtain a copy of the notes of Mr. Sergeant Dowling, before whom the matter was tried. Mr. O'MALLEY said repeated applications had been made for them, but without effect, and consequently his client was unable to be prepared by the time the cat:o Came on. - Mr. Baron PARKE—I suppose Mr. Dowling's not( s are in short-band 1 Mr. O'ItIALLEY—Yes, my Lord, End no ono can read ;hem but himself. Mr. Baron PATIEE—That is wry unfortunate. Mr. O'MALLEY—Moro especially so, as my client has now been in custody more than nine months, and we wish to release him. Mr, Sergeant fowling has gone out of town, and is now, or is about to be, on his county court circuit in Yorkshire, and he says he will not be able to let us have a transcript of his notes before the lapse of a month. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Ycn have stated a difficulty, but you do not tell us how we tan relieve you. Con not you write to Brother Dowling ; he is on his circuit, and it must be known where he will be on certain dais. Mr. (YAIALLEy—We do not know where a letter will find him. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Perhaps, Mr. O'Malley, he will learn what has transpired here through the ordi nary cher: els of public information —the nevisPoPers'. and most likely e shall hear from him on the subject. Mr. O'MALLEY—WiII you permit me to suggesttlT a lestcr frcm your Lordship would have more we V: , -tud might be the means of bringing the notes '° London. Mr. MI on PLATT—Ws have wri tten to hi m once, so in his answer, which is dated the 29th of Jalloorki e . states tbbt he will supply the notes as soon as Poo' That was the first expedition in search of the uotee„ Mr. Baron ALDERSON - NO doubt Brother PoYa!lig will see in a newspaper somewhere tO-111011091 0301 that the notes are wanted; and we shall have a l e°' from h:m next week.—(Laughter.)
