In reference to the reeent debate In the House of Commons on the withdrawal of the Edinburgh and Glasg >w and Cale donian Railway Amalgamation Bill, the Caledonian Directors feel I t a duty to state that they are in no wise responsible for its details. They would have approved of the principle of am algamation, if on equal terms, and knowing the absolute necessity of reducing the amount of guarantees, they desire the power to obtain Yarliamen tery sanction during this serien, in case all parties should concur. The terms of modification ought to have been left blank, In order to be filled up by arrangement. The Caledonian Board never would have sanctioned the measure suggested in the Bill against their pre arence shares. as evinced by their recent election of Mr. Wheeler as director, who holds a large amount of that stock. The loss of the means of procuring legislative sanction to same arrange ments this session, may prove raost itijurieus to all parties. (Signed) E. PLUNKETT, Chairman. Edinburgh, March 22, 1860.

This is an essential spirit, drawn item aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in his pamphlet, in which the bottles are mclosed. Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant, Ilerbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, under the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th of August, 1846.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age, you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same)? I'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Catartet, Nervous Headach, and Deaf- Ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being preyed by the i n f o rmers, still it was a esa ct sq., of o ppression ; as in 1 825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Syk E altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order ofries the Lords of the Treasury ; the letter of p rotection, signed by Her, Mr. William Grimstexe, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was ox account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time ix canis ters, within the reach of ev er y p oor family. But ander this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped.

PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—The Cygnet brig, 6, Commander D. Robertson, arrived yesterday evening from the coast of Africa, bringing the first mail thence since the 23,1 of December. Mails are sent monthly o the coast, but no pains seem to be taken to secure the return communication. She sailed from St. Helena on the 10th of January, Ascension on the 16th, and Sierra Leone the Ist of February. She last saw the Centaur steam-frigate, bearing the broad pendant of Comtnodore Buckle, on the 28th of February, off St. Anne's Shoals, just south of Sierra Leone, going down to the Gallmas, on her way to the Bights. The squadron was thus distributed when she left the station:— Northern Division—The Alert, 6 ; Heroine, 8 ; Wolverine, 12; Teazer, 4 (screw); and Adelaide. tender. In the Bights of Benin—The Kingfisher, 12 ; Ranger, 8; Ilecla and Pf cenix, steam-slcops ; and Bonetta, brigantine. Southern Division—The Cyclops, steam-frigate ; Sealark, 8; Star, 6 ; Flying-fish, 12; Waterwitch, 8 ; Rattler, 6 ; Pluto, 2 ; Spy, 3 ; and Firefly, steam vessel. _ _ At Ascension—The Tortoise, store and guard-ship, and the Snap, tender. The Gladiator, steam-frigate, Captain Adams, had not arrived at Ascension when the Cygnet left. Lieutenant Branch and Assistant-Surgeon Trous dell, of the Cyclops, have come home invalided in the Cygnet, which has made nine prizes whilst on the coast and liberated 1,500 slaves. The slave trade was brisk. Squadron healthy. The Cygnet sailed this afternoon for Plymouth, to be paid off. The Lily, 14, Commander Bedford, went out to Spithead this morning under canvass, and saluted as usual. Captain Sir Baldwin W. Walker,' K.C.8., Sur veyor of the Navy, is on an official visit at this port. Some members of the Board of Admiralty were ex pected to join him to-day, but their Lordships have been prevented by other business from coming. The Electra, 14, and the Rapid, 8, were brought down to-day to be docked for repair as soon as a dock becomes vacant. _ _ PLYMOUTH, MARCII 23.—Her Majesty's ship Superb, 80, Captain Purcell, after her return from cruising in the Channel, is to go up harbour to refit. The reserve steam-vessel Salamander cruised round the Eddystone yesterday (Friday) ; the Vulture goes to-day, and the Styx is to proceed on Monday. They are then to be in readiness, on the shortest notice, for commission. The freight-ship Lord Bentinek embarked 1 ser geant, 2 corporal, and 25 privates of the Royal Sippers and Miners from the head-quarters at Wool wich on Saturday 1;1 , 1 - , under the charge of Lieu tenant Chesney, Royal Engineers, and lift the same afternoon for New Zealand. Four gunners of the Royal Artillery embarked at the same time for the same destination to fill up the detachment of Artillery at that station. The Blenheim, hired convict-ship, Mr. Molieon master, left her moorings opposite the Royal Arienal on Saturday afternoon with a number of convicts guarded by a company of pensioners from Tilbury fort, for Van Diemen's Land. Captain E. Ommanney, cf the Assistance, fitting up for the Arctic expedition, never commanded the Virago, as has been stated by a contemporary, and, consequently, Lieutenant B. Cator never served with him in that vessel. Captain, then Commander, Om manney, commanded the Vesuvius steam-sloop on the Mediterranean station, for three years, but Lieutenant Cator never served in that vessel. DOCKYARD. Mr. Douglas Dent, for many years secretary to the chief of the dockyard, and latterly storekeeper at the New steam-yard, Morrice-town, retired on the 21st inst. on 4601. per annum. A private letter from Woolwich states, that 110 men employed in the Ordnance department there are to be discharged at the expiration of the month. The emigrant ship Boyne, Captain Sabiston, for Adelaide and Port Philip, has all her passengers on board, and will be ready to proceed early on Monday morning. Wind N.E., strong breeze. APPOINTMENTS. _ WooLwicu, 111iitCa 25.—Master—Peter Loney (1841), to be a chief officer in the Coast Guard. ALLOWANCE of SPIRITS in the 2V A rY. The Committee appointed to inquire into the expe diency of diminishing thu , present quantity of spirits served out daily to the seamen in the royal navy have made tbeir report to the Secretary cf the Admiralty, concluding with the following, as a sum mary of what they propose :- 1. That the present allowance of spirits or wine be reduced one-half. 2. That the remaining portion be issued at dinner 3. That admirals, captains, and ward-room officers shall not receive any payment for the half ration of spirits taken from them. 4. That mites, second masters, surgeons, assistants, and clerks shall receive compensation at the present savings price for the half allowance of the spirits to be reduced. 5. That midshipmen, cadets, and boys who do not receive a ration of spirits, be paid a compensation equal to the " savings price" of the present whole allowance. 6. That warrant officers, working petty officers, able and ordinary seamen, and non-commissioned officers and privates of marines, shall receive for their half allowance a compensation payment iu money of 3s. 6d. per man, per calendar month. 7. That second-class ordinary seamen and landsmen be allowed 2s. 6d. per man, per calendar month. 8. That men wishing to give up the reduced allow ance shall receive a further compensation, equal to the savings price for such period as they may think proper. 9. That no raw spirits be issued to any one, except under special circumstances, at the discretion of the captain. 10. That in cases of persisting drunkenness, a deduc tion, or discontinuance be made for a time in the compen sation allowance. 11. That the monthly allowance to the men out of their growing wages, be limited to 12s. per month. 11. That the police on board her Majesty's ships Le put cn a better footing. 12. That the seamen and marines shall be at liberty to make a larger allotment for the maintenance of their families. viz., 11. Is. 6d. per month for an able seaman. 13. That the Admiralty cireular to the fleet, of the 21st July, 1846, respecting provisions, be brought under review, for the purpose of a snore satisfactory adjustment of the scale. 14. That the proposed measure take immediate effect as regards all officers, and all future entries; and that, as regards ships in commission, their Lordships fix a con venient day for carrying the measuro into effect. But men now in the navy should, in the meantime, have the option of taking advantage of the prop ose d c ompensation allowance. The Committee cannot close their report on the im portant questions referred to their consideration without expressing their hope, and confident expectation, that the measures they have proposed will be conducive to the credit of the British navy, and tend to fulfil their Lordshilu' anxious desire to promote the best interests of the seamen.

WINDSOR, MONDAY. The Queen and Prince Albert, with the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, the Princess Alice, the Princess Helena, and the Princess Louisa, arrived at the Castle about a quarter before five o'clock this afternoon, having travelled from town, by a special train, on the Great Western Railway. The royal suite consisted of the Countess of Charle mont, Hon. Misses Paget and Macdonald, the Earl of Morley, Mr. B. Ormsby Gore, Lord Alfred Paget, Colonel Bouverie, General Bowles, and Mr. Birch. The Archbishop of York and a deputation had an interview with L or d John Russell yesterday, at his official residence in Downing-street.

The Earl and Countess of Lichfield, and Lady Harriet Anson, left town yesterday for Shugborough to spend the Easter holidays. Lord Anson has left town to join the Earl and Countess. RAMSGATE.— Some excitement has been occasioned in our town, two attempts at self-destruction having been made during the past week. The first was of a Mr. Marden, of Deal, staying in George's-place, who was found in a water closet with his throat cut; the alarm being given, surgical aid was procured, and the wound was sown up, and the per son is still alive. The other is a Mr. Pain, of Belle-Vue-hill, greengro-er, who made an attempt on his life by cutting hi, throat, but in which :attempt, as in the other instance, he did not succeed.—CantegurphUrna. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. At length one journal, and one journal only, has been found to defend the repressive law against the press, which the PRESIDENT r.nd his Ministers, in the very extremity of panic terror, have been, as our Scotch friends would say, " So far left to them sclves," as to propose. That journal is the Napoleon, and thus does it deal with the comparisons which have been recently made between the conduct of CHARLES X., in . July 1830, of Loins PHILIPPE, in February, 1848, and of Louis NAPOLEON, io March, 1850: " The restoration," it says, " has for its origin foreign invasion, cud for its moving power the hatred of all that had been accomplished during the preceding twenty•five years ; its object, the re-establishment of the political power of the nobility and the.clergy. The opposition was formidable, as it wss supported by all those generous passions which had been developed by the Revolution of 1789. Immortal glory, new inde structible interests, were amongst the good things which the liberty of the press and tribune guaranteed to the people; and royalty, and its right divine, fell in its at tack upon them, as it could only oppose the vital force of the nation with brute resistance. " The Government of July had a more popular origin, although it committed the fault of not being legitimatised by a general election . Its moving power was the pas. sion for material enjoyments—its object the preponder ance of the bourgeoisie. It incurred the just reproach of not having stimulated noble interests, whilst it over excited tbose who took only interest for their guide. Nevertheleis, as its roots penetrated deeper into the people than those of its predecessor, it could with danger limit the liberty of the press, which no longer represented, as under the Restoration, the conquests of the Revolution.' It fell because the country saw,its only object was gain, its only passion the lust of wealth. The interior classes availed themselves of their power to re claim from the bourgeoisie that which it appeared to them to have gained by corruption, and Socialism is but the consequence of the fatal impulse of these past eighteen years. " But what opinion is it now which abuses the liberty cf the press, and which is at the head of the Opposition. It is not that which under the Restoration glorified our triumphs and protested against the return of the ancien regime, nor ►hat which under Louis Philippe called out fur just concessions. But now not content with liberty in its most extended development, it defames all that is respectable, overthrows the basis of civilization, and at tacks all that it would bs useful to support. " Now, therefore, in restraining the liberty of the press, it is only to combat error, and not truth. Instead of attacking the national feelings, it is protecting them against iniquitous aggression." The National comments on this extraordinary article in the most sarcastic manner, and observes that according to this writer it was madness and crime in CHARLES X. to attack the liberty of the press ; it was a crime, it was madness, in Louis PHILLIPPE to attack the right of meeting. " But such," says the National, "is not the case with re gard to the present policy. This policy, although precisely similar to the policy of the tw•o last reigns, is good—is even excellent. And the reason ? The reason is because it is the policy of M. LOUIS BONAPARTE, whilst the preceding policies wire those of CHARLES X. and of Lours PHILIPPE." Notwithstanding the bluster of the Napoleon it would appear that the Ministers do not feel at all cer tain of their ground, and we should not be surprised to find them endeavouring to back out of the posi tion into which the MoLE-TnIEas•BERaYEE. con spiracy has forced him. The following from the Mi nisterial Constitutionnel of Monday is evidently a feeler : " We need not say that, if we do not approve of the new Bill on the press, our confidence in the Government is by no means diminished, and that our support will not be weaker. If we thought that our opposition to this Bill was of a nature to weaken the Government, we should not hesitate an instant to sacrifice our convictions on the point. And, first of all, what is the cause of our opposition? Certainly not a difference of intentions. The President, the majority, and the Cabinet, have only one object,—to protect society against the excesses of the anarchical propagandism. What they desire, we desire also; we differ only as to the means. We sincerely believe that in proposing to disarm the attack, the defence is disarmed also. Let us suppose that after a more mature examination of the question, the law should be abandoned, or that a different system was sub stituted, would it follow that this thould be a serious check for the authors of the Bill? Certainly uot, since the question of the press is a special one, if ever there was a special question. Is it to be said that Government is not to be ever mistaken, and that a Ministry is bound to have all its propositions carried, under pain of resign ing? It is clear that wa are not any longer governed by those classical rules which direct a Parliamentary Government in calm times. Ministers, even supported by the heads of Farties not connected with the Govern ment, do not succeed always in getting their views aiopted by those even who usually march with them. Each not the less continues to serve in his own position without imposing on himself the oblige= tion, as a point of honour, of always tbtaining the necessery votes. It has haprened to all Cabinets, at all times, to have had Bills rejected, and still to keep their places. They acted properly in so doing. The Minister of Foreign Affairs was defeated at the elections, but he did not consider himself weakened thereby. M. Berryer, notwithstanding the power of his word, has just seen the majority of his friends vote against him on the question of transfers of rentes. He did not on that account consider himself weakened amongst his party, and he is right in thinking so. We might quote many other instances, but it is easy to see from what we have said that a complete alteration in the Bill on the press, or even the rejection of the measure, would not shake the moral authority of the Government. For, in fine, ' they who would not adopt it would not the less approve the object in view. There can be no serious disaccord, except that which relates to intentions and sentiments. Society is a pi ey to a great moral evil, for which reme dies are sought. It is very allowable to make a mistake as to their nature or sfiicacity. The real fault would be not to pay attention to the situation, or to neglect mak ing an effbrt to ameliorate it." It appears that the great bulk of the Legitimatists are so disgusted with M. BERRTER for the support he has given to the repressive laws, that they have repudiated his leadership and chosen M. DS Sr. PRIEST as their leader in his stead, and the great bulk of the army will, in the event of any coup-d'etat being attempted, remain true to the Republic and Constitution, and aid in putting down any Royalist rebellion. This feeling is not confined to the garrison of Paris—it is general throughout the army. The Haro of Caen of the 23d inst. states that a sergeant of the 55th Regiment of the Line, in garri. son in that town, together with two privates, having been removed from the regiment and sent to Algeria, the remainder of the corps assembled in the court yard, and commenced singing the " Marseillaise."

The QUEEN has dismissed the Duke of SALDLNIIA from his situation as a member of the Supreme Mili tary Tribunal of Justice, and the KING Consort has I dismissed him from his post as chief of the Staff, on account of his continued opposition to the Ministry of the Count of THOMAR. It is thought that the army will rise, as SALDANMA has always been a great favourite with the troops. T1103.1A11, it is said, reckons upon Spanish assistance, but he should recollect that on the occasion of the last outbreak he would have been executed as a traitor, and the QUEEN deposed, long before Spanish assist ance could have arrived, had it not been for the per sonal intervention of SALDANIIA, who would not at present, probably, feel inclined to run any desperate personal risks for the sake of the Count DE THOMAR. The discussion on the law for the abolition of the liberty of the press had not concluded in the Cortes. GERMANY. A letter from Berlin, of the 22nd, addressed to the Cologne Gazette, says :—"We have just learned that an agent of the French Minister, M. Rio; applied at Erfurth to General ltapovviTz to have confidential communicatious during the sittings of the Parlia ment. The General flatly refused. 31. Rfor then applied to 31. DE PERSIGNY to cause the Cabinet of Berlin to sanction his confidential mission. The re sult is not stated." _ A letter from Frankfort of the 18th states that M. B. DE BULOW Ambassador from the King of DEN MARK to the Federal Commission, but who had not been received, had left that city. Prince GORTSCIIA KOFF, the Russian Minister, had left fur Stuttgart. A. preparatory meeting, composed of the Members of the two Chambers of the Erfurth Parliament, took place on the 22d, under the presidency cf the Mi nister of State, CAMPDAUSEN. 111. DE BODEL SCUWING presented a programme, the parties to which declaring that it would be impossible to proceed with the German constitution on the basis of the project of the 28th March, if previously a perfect understanding were not come to on its main principles, and that it was of importan ce t o comp l e t e th e wor k speedily, an end at which they hoped to arrive by a good under standing between the Diet and the Governments, as well as by the adoption of the constitution and of the additional article before revision. Several signatures were attached to this document. Afterwards the sittings of the Chamber of the States was adjourned till atter Easter. Monday after next the bureaux will proceed to the elections fur the Commission on the constitution. On the same day the popular Chamber will constitute itself and appoint its bureaux. The King of SAXONY has confirmed the sentence of death on BAKOUNINE and PCEKEL, and decided that they should be beheaded; BAROUNINE had expressed the wish to be shot like a soldier, but was refused. HEUIthEII has, it is said, been pardoned. These men, it will be remembered, were the leaders in the in surrection in Dresden. Extensive postal reforms are said to be in preparation i❑ Prussia. By a letter from Dusseldorf of the 20th we learn that the trial of twenty of the leaders of the insur rection which took place in that city in May last had terminated in the acquittal of twelve, and in the con demnation of the others to five years' imprisonment, the loss of the national cockade, and the surveillance of the police. The first Chamber of Baden on the 21st adopted a resolution approving of the accession of Baden to the treaty of the 26th of May. In the Parliament of Wurtemburg, on the 18th, several Deputies blamed in strong terms the language employed by the KING towards Prussia in his Speech from the Throne, and asserted that the country would not adhere to or approve of it. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Assembly of the States of Schleswig-Holstein was opened on the 19th, and immediately after it formed itself into secret committee to receive commu nications relative to the raising of subsidies rendered necessary by the probable resumption of hostilities. A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin of the 23d, ad dressed to the Cologne Gazette, announces that the Prussian Government had ordered M. DB STDOW ' its envoy in Wurtemburg, to leave Stuttgart, with all the embassy. It at the same time notified to Baron DE lIuGEL, Minister of Wurtenburg in Berlin, that diplomatic relations between the two countries were broken off. A letter from Hamburgh of the 20th announces that a Prussian General had been placed in command of the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein, and that 200 Prussian officers had also taken service in the army. The Danish Government had armed several vessels, and had made extensive military prephrations. The banking-house of Hambro and Son, of Hamburgh, had contracted for the loan of 11,000,000 bank thalers for Denmark, recently authorised by the Chambers. At Hamburgh the renewal of the war in the Duchies was considered probable. GREECE. A telegraphic dispatch, from Berlin, states that on the 19th dates from the Piraeus to the 12th arrived at Trieste. It was said that Greece had refused to enter into any negotiations as to the settlement of the English claims until the English fleet had left Salamis and the Greek vessels seized by it had been returned. It was said also that new demands had been put for ward by England. An energetic Russian note had been received on the 9th, and on the 10th an English courier had started fur Constantinople. ITALY. Cardinal ANTONELLI has addressed the following note to the diplomatic body on the subject of the POPE'S return : " FROM THE ROYAL PALACE OF PORTICI, MARCH 12. " The rebellion which so long oppressed the Pontifical subjects during the late events, having been quelled by the arms of the Catholic powers, the legitimate Govern ment has been by degrees revived in the Ecclesiastical states, to the satisfaction of all good men. Still, to ful fil the wishes of Catholicism and of the subjects devoted to their Sovereign, the return of the Holy Pontiff to his see was still wanting. Various difficulties have hitherto contributed to retard it, and especially the anxious de sire of his Holiness to relieve the wants of the state. This object being now attained, he has resolved to return to his temporal dominions in the beginning of the following month of April. The Holy Father trusts that the band of the Lord, which led on the armed powers to the holy enterprise will vouchsafe to bless ' the measures he constantly meditates for the good of his subjects. Nor does he doubt but that all the powers with whom the Holy See maintaics amicable relations, and who contributed with their moral and material in licence to restore the Sovereign Pontiff to the full and free exercise of his authority, will, animated by an equal and constant interest, be disposed to guarantee his li berty and independence, so indispensable to the universal government of the Church, and to her peace, which is that of Europe. The undersigned Cardinal, Pro- Secretary of State, in communicating this to you, has the honour to renew the expression of his distinguished esteem. (Signed) " ANTONELLI." The Nazionale of Florence quotes a letter from Rome, stating that the diplomatic protocol was closed on the 12th, at Portici ; and that it was understood that, on the Pore's return, he would immediately grant the Consults of State, and a sort of constitu tion modelled upon that of Austria. The POPS has convoked a secret consistory for the day after his return. He is to be accompanied, according to this account, by the King of NAPLES, RADETZEY, the French General, and General NUNZIANTE. The three Chapters of St. Peter, St. John, and St. Mary Magdalen, are to go out to meet him at three miles distance. The municipality will wait fur him at Albano. Bread and meat will be distributed to the poor t and articles pledged at the Mont de Piste, to an amount not exceeding 2f. 50c., are to be re deemed. On the 15th a revolutionary edict of MAZ MI was found posted up at the corners of several streets of Rome, bearing the stamp of the Pontifical Government, in order not to attract the attention of the police at first sight. The Riforma of Lucca states from Leghorn that it is severely prohibited to look towards the sea with telescopes. No reason is adduced to explain the ob ject of this measure. ADELPHI THEATRE. Yesterday being the commencement of Passion Week, Mr. C. 11. Adams, according to announcement, commenced his lectures on astronomy at the above theatre. The lecture is illustrated by a superb grand transparent orrery. From the manner in which Mr. Adams has condensed an immense quantity of in formation on astronomical subjects into a small com pass, from the peculiar faculty which he possesses of popularising scientific subjects, and for the splendour of the orrery and stellar scenery with which the lec ture is illustrated, it cannot fail to attract. It will be repeated every evening during Passion-week, except the evening of Good Friday. ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. The performance of the unrivalled troupe of eques trians continues so attractive, that Mr. Batty has de termined to keep his theatre open until Thursday, i❑ order to accommodate the numerous persons who are anxious to witness these very attrac tive performances. He has entered into an en gagement with Young Hernandez, the first rider in the world, which commenced last night, and will terminate on Thursday. Those who are desirous of witnessing his most wonderful, and at the same time most graceful, performances, should not miss the present opportunity. MR.

DEATH PREFERRED TO PAUPER'S:II.—A few days since a widow, named Braine, in poor circumstances, but of good character, attended the board of guardians at Keyneham, for the purpose of obtaining relief. Whilst waiting outside with others, she was observed to leave the place, and go across the meadows to the river Avon, where the bank is very steep. After once or twice wist fully looking over the bank at the water, she retired a short distance, and then walked backward, and in this way threw herself into the river. A man who saw her commit the act, but was at too great a distance to pre. vent it, immediately hastened to the spot, and every effort was made to save her, but the body was not re covered before life was extinct. THE SLAVE TEADE.—During the last eight years upwards of G4O slavers have been taken on the coast of Africa, and of that number of vessels three- fourths have been within 30 miles of the coast. It is t generalitn . peu naval officers that it would be m advisable. to , granill \ty on the tonnage of vessels ,:en near the eesuct. ,irfaund-fatted-ur_proved be engaggin - the slave ' trade inpteference to the nt adopted,ofietje • abounry according to the number of - alstves3,aken:‘, _The , fan of granting -- triounty on the tonnege Of - v u aken would strike at the root of the trade, and place Au ,onduct of the cruisers above suspicion of letting them touch - - he coast in the expectation of catch lug them when liditqfalaves. Prevention is better than cure it the squadron is' to lie kept nn the coast; and a bounty on the tonnage of slave vessels taken in attempting to reach the coast would be the most effectual means of suppressing the slave trade.—Post. AN EXPENSIVE RESISTANCE TO THE LAW.—OII Monday, Mr. Isaac Kent, shipowner, was convicted, before tile magistrates, o f an assault, inn:fined 6d., and 19s. &I costs. He refused to pay, and the officers were ordered to take him into custody; but he said fifty men should not take him. '1 hrowing his arm round a post, he defied the officers who were a long time before they could stir him. The con test caused quite a scene in the court, the effect of which was heightened by Kent's wife and son calling out at the top of their voices, the one, " They'll kill my husband " the other, "They'll kill my father!" After great difficulty, Kent was got upon the ground, and the handcuffs put upon him. His brother-in-law then paid the sovereign, expecting hie discharge ; but he was told, to his great surprise, that he had cotnniitied a serious offence, which rendered him liable to three rears' imprisonment. A further fine of 5/. was inflicted, which . ' was ultimately paid.—Norfolk Chronicle. GALLANT CONDUCT 01' A SAILOR.—WhiIe a poor man named William Surtees, an inmate of the union work house, was, on Sunday last, standing on the edge of the Low Wharf Quay, Sunderland, he was suddenly seized with a fit, and fell over the quay into the river. A sailor, named George Thompson, who was standing on board of a vessel, se.ing the danger the poor fellow was in, immediately seized hold of a rope, and dashed into the water, caught him by the hair just as he was sinking, and kept his head above water until he received assistance. Surtees was taken on shore in sensible, and carried to the office of the commissioners of the river Wear, where he received medical attendance, and is now recovered.—Newcastle Journal. CAGE.—An article to the manufacture of which our spinsters would do well to direct their attention, since the reason of so many unhappy marriages is, that young ladies employ their time in making nets,in.stead of cages.-- Eliza Cook's Journa'. THE GALE ON SATURDAY NIGHT.—The severity of the gale from the N.E. during the whole of Saturday night appears to have been most severely felt, and was attended with serious consequences to the cattle arriving here on board the vessels from Ireland. The William Penn, belonging to the Waterford Steam-ship Company, so far as we are at present enabled to state, suffered most. She left Dublin about six o'clock in the evening, having on board upwards of 100 head of cattle, 31 horses, and 200 pigs, a great portion of which, together with sever al passengers, were on deck. On the arrival of the steamer yesterday afternoon it was found that about 20 of the horned cattle and 3 horses had died from the cold. The other animals on deck also suffered materially from the severity of the weather, and some of them were much mutilated, having been tossed about by the motion of the vessel. Nor did the passengers on deck altogether es cape, and had it not been for the consideration of those in the cabins, who kindly made room for the poor creatures be low, they must also have suffered most severely. As it was, one poor child, a boy six years of age, was found lying deaa, and by his side another child in a dying state, who was only restored to animation by the prompt application of warm blankets. These children were in charge of a woman, who states that they were entrusted to her care in Dublin by a man whom she did not know. We understand that the deck passengers of the steamer Queen, which arrived at eight o'clock in the morning, also suffered severely from the cold. —Liverpool Albion. ROYAL COLLEGE or SURGEONS.--A meeting was held yesterday, at the Freemasons' Tavern, of those fellows of the Reyal College of 4urgeons who disapproved of the change in the charter of the institution proposed by the council, by which those members of the college who had been members at the date of the new charter in 1843 should, after twenty years' standing, be admitted without examination to the fellowship Mr. Robinson presided. After a few words from the chairman deprecatory of the proposed alteration, a resolution was proposed by Mr. Roberts, and seconded by Mr. Holmes Coote, to the effect that those fellows who were present regarded the proposed change as an act of grievous injustice. This was carried by a large majority ; an amendment, proposed by Mr. Erich sen, approving o the intention of the council, being sup ported by only one gentleman besides the mover and seconder, in accordance with the spirit of the resolution, a memorial, addressed to the president, vice-president, and council of the Royal College of Surgeons, was read and adopted, setting forth that the memoralists learned with regret and disappointment that the council had applied to Government for a supplementary charter for the purpose of rendering members eligible to the fellowship without a second examination; that the memorialists had been in duced to incur the expense, loss of time, and possible dis grace of the ordeal in reliance upon the statements of the college that the charter of 1843 should be a final measures; and they submitted that the proposed alteration would be injurious to the profession and unjust to themselves; that it would degrade the fellowship, and rend er it valueless in public estimation ; and lastly, that it would be a breach of faith towards those who had subjected themselves to the examination. On these grounds they prayed that the pro posed alterations should not be carried out. After the meet ing the memorial was signed by the majority of the gentle men present. SERIOUS BANK DODDERY.—On Saturday a gen. tieman in the commission trade, in this town, after having paid all the cash he had to pay at his warehouse, took the remaining notes and a cheque (in all 7081.) to pay into the bank of Sir Benjamin Heywood and Co., St. Ann-street. He folded up the notes and cheque together, held them in his hand, and put his hand into an outer pocket of his coat. He had not been twe minutes in the bank before he missed the notes, which he believes he had in his hand at the door of the bank. The:money consisted of three Bank of England notes of '2Ol. each, one of 101., and one of 5/. ; all the num bers of which being known to the gentleman, payment of all of them was promptly stopped. With the notes was ,a cheque for 3331. 2a. upon Sir Benjamin Heywood and Co., payment of which was, of course, instantly stopped. Nothing has since been Heard of the missing cash.—Man chester Courier. IMPUDENT Talnvus.—On Friday night last a bur glary of an exceedingly impudent nature was effected at the house of Mrs. Vowles, a widow, residing at Wraxall. The thieves bored several holes in the front door, by which they were enabled to open it and gain an entrance. They took off a box of wearing apparel belonging to a young lady living with Mrs. Vowles, IEI. or 141. of whose money they also appropriated. The rascals cooked and ate a dozen of eggs, with bread and butter, while upon the premises, and regaled themselves plentifully with cider from a cask in the cellar.— Bristol Journal. There is something so attractive about flowers, that, not content with being merely surrounded by them, we desire to have them yet nearer to us; and wherever we find them, whether in garden or field, our natural impulse, at every age, is to gather ' them and make their perfume and beauty all our own.—Eiiza Cook's ♦surnal. FAIR UNDER THE THAMES.--Yesterday being the anniversary of the opening of that great undertaking, the Thames Tunnel, the directors, in celebration of the event, gave a grand fancy fair beneath the waters of Old Father Thames. The entire length of the tunnel and either shaft were decorated with myriads of variegated lamps, the panels being filled in with a variety of paintings, representing the most interesting views along the banks. Rows of stalls, co vered with ornamental articles, shows, refreshment booths, the Wizard of the North, Ethiopian minstrels, and bands of music, were the amusements offered. Daring the day seve ral thousands of persons visited the tunnel. The fair will be continued three days. SINGULAR CAUSE OP A FATAL ACCIDENT.-011 the 25th ult. a man named Mulligan, of the Vulcan Foundry, Warrington, went home in a state of intoxication, and com menced beating his wife so violently that she had to flee the house. The cottage was lighted by gas, and when she re turned she found the room filled with it, and her children breathing with difficulty. She hastened to examine the place, and incautiously lighted a lucifer match to assist her search, on which an explosion took place, and she was so much burnt that she died in the workhouse on the 12th inst. It is conjectured that when her husband was beating her he broke the gas-pipe, and caused an escape.—Manchesta' Courier. DISTRIBUTION OF lIER MAJESTY'S BOUNTY...me Yesterday her Majesty's royal Easter bounty to the aged poor was distributed at the Royal Almonry, Middle Scotland yard, by the Bishop of Oxford, the Lord High Almoner, the Rev. E. Goodenough, Sub-Almoner, and Mr. Hanby Gro men. Upwards of 500 aged men and women were presented with ss. each, all being above 60, and many upwards of 90 years of age. The royal maundy will be presented in White- Lail Chapel, on Thursday next, to 62 aged men and women, two being added to the list of recipients for every year her Majesty attains. This gift amounts to about Li. to each individual. THE ST. HELEN'S SAVINGS' BANK DEFALCATIONS. Oa Thursday, William Johnson, sub -actuary of St. Helen's Savings' Bank, who had already, with his brother, been committed on a charge of embezzlement, was brought be fore Thomas Townley Parker, Esq. The prisoner was ap prehended at his brother's house, Walton, near Liverpool. early on Thursday. Mr. Thomas Haddock. (in the absence of Mr. Aspinall, barrister,) conducted the case for the prose cution. Mr. Whitley, of Liverpool, appeared for the pri soner. James Thompson, farmer, of Bold, stated that he paid on the 11th of August, 1845, 301. to the prisoner, which was entered in his pass-book. Since then he had taken the book to have the interest added, and had received various sums ; but some amounts which were entered in the ledger of the bank had not been received by him nor any one au thorised by him. A number of similar cases, as well as se veral cases in which Mr. Johnson was charged with having permitted persons to deposit more than the sums legally d o a l n l oblev being were questioned b 3 fd r t w h a e r d m a a n g d i 3 t pv r a r t o e prove T the T he usual prisoner,way stated he bad nothing to say.

Unlike the mo s t o f sav i ngs ' b anks, Use a o t wn th e greater part of its funds are deposited with one of the Scot tish chartered banks—having been withdrawn from the Go vernment funds about a year and a half ago, when the rats of interest upon public securities was so much lower than the general rate in the country, and lodged with the Na tional Bank of Scotland. When the money pro. vided to pay the depositors who were expected to operate upon their accounts on Thursday had run short, the cashier was obliged to pay the rest with cheques upon the National Bank. As the bank is open for paying only once a week, perhaps the alarm may have subsided before next Thurs day. It is supposed that some unauthenticated rumours about certain parties recently connected with the bank had given rise to the panic.—Ca/cdonian Mercury.
