The last toast was proposed by Mr. RICKERDY, who said that,-whilst unwilling to introduce anything like a political subject, be might, on such an occasion, be sure that every man of intellect—every man who wished for the well-being of his fellow-creatures, would recognise his toast, " Sir Robert Peel," as one of the intelligences of the age.—(llear, hear.)

Now th e a ffi d av it s a d it Fr - elk Thesiger show most conclusively the gro ess ness of the application; and when Lord ampbel i After consulting with his brethren of the bench, stoppin Mr. Peacock, his Lordship virtually recognised the suf ficiency of the grounds on which the defendants had based their charges, as well as the blamelessness of their motives in bringing them. It will, moreover, be ob servedloGerneig:hetheralojnuhdabgdemheanlft, o concludef briet h d e t that Mr. Marti n an d M r . H ayes were h ear d at . his s m a p t rh a ge n uy y m , ae e rne ! t t : ... e r s ua tnghdgee thesAt tt otrenremy anothers marked reason for treating the application as un called for, and consequently for giving costs. Lord Campbell said—" According to the rules which govern the practice of this court, and govern it for the advantage and benefit of the public, we think that this rale must be discharged, and that the complainants should be left to pursue their remedy by action. As there is an action already pending in respect of the question which has been agitated hero to-day, and which can, therefore, come to be decided by a jury, I will not prejudge it by anything to fall from mo now; but shall abstain from saying more than that this rule must be discharged."- During the pendency of an action in which the same que.tions are at issue, a motion for a driminal information was surely unjustifiable and oppressive; and if a rich or powerful party thinks proper to cumulate remedies, the super fluous proceedings, at all events, should be at his own proper.charges, most especially when he is judi cially, pronounced to be in the wrong. " Pause, my , Lords," said an excited special pleader in Lord Tenter den's time, " and for Heaven's sake, consider the ago nising effects of a rule nisi." This unusual flight was received with lasghter by the bar, and has been fre quently quoted as a specimen of the Art of Sinking; but the next luckless defendant who is placed by his love of justice, or by his public spirit, in a situation analogous to that of Messrs. Willmer and Smith, will fully appreciate its truth, if not its eloquence; for he wilt feel that a rule nisi, although haply obtained on groundless pretences and never destined to become abso lute, may keep him in agonising suspense for weeks, and (by permanently exhausting his limited means) prove a source of embarrassment through life.

At home from Eleven till your. 91 1 0 LADIES.—The high and universal celebrity which ROWLAND'S KALYDOR continuos to maintain as an active, yet mild and soothing extirpator of all impurities of the Skin, is, daring the period of Spring, most pleasingly evinced. This pre,aration, eminently balsamic, restorative, and invigorating. is equaUy distinguished for safety in application, as for unfailing effi cley in eradicating all redness, tan, pimples, spots, freckles, discolo ration, and other cutaneous visitations. The radient bloom it im parts to the cheek, and the softness and delicacy which it induces on the hands and arms, render it indispensable to every toilet. To ladles during the period or nursi g, and as a wash for infants, it cannot be too strongly recommended. Geitlemen, after shaving, will find it allay all irritation and tendernes of the skin, and render it soft, smooth, and pleasant. Its phrifying and refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by her Majesty the Queen. the Court, and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and the several Courts of Europe. *** Beware of spurious " KALYDORS" for sale, containing mineral aStringents utterly ruincus to the Complexion, and by their repellent action endangering health.

SAlLOrts ' OILPIIAN Gnus' ASYLUM.—The annual meeting of this society took place on Tuesdav, at the offices of the Naval and Military Bible Society, Sackville-street, Piccadilly; Capt. the llon. F. Maude, R.N., in the chair. The chairman opened the proceedings of the day by pointing out in very brief but forcible terms, the many claims the sailors' orphans had on the support of the charitable, more especially of the British public, who owed their very nation ality to the exertions of the mercantile and royal naval service. The report stated that for the last seven years there had been a debt incurred, amounting to about 711. per annum. The committee, at the last meeting of 1849, were enabled to re duce the debt then existing to 851., and they had now the satisfaction of announcing that it was entirely liquidated, and a balance was left in the bankers' hands. An appeal made to the ladies, after the lamented death of her late Majesty the Queen Dowager (by which the society had lost their best and kindest supporter) had resulted in the receipt of 100 guineas. Of the twenty orphan children received into the asylum, thirteen only had been brought into the new house, five having been placed in eligible situations, and two having returned to their friends. The receipts for the past year amounted to 65:4., and the expenditure to 6334 leaving a balance of- 20/. A motion for the adoption of the report was then carried unanimously. The chairman expressed his regret that an asylum for such an object should possess such limited means, and alluded to the fact of there being only fifteen inmates as a proof of their crippled resources. Reso lutions founded on the report were then submitted to the meeting and carried. After a vote of thanks to the chair man the meeting separated. ROYAL FREEMASONS' SCHOOL FOR FEMALE CHIL DREN.—The Earl of Yarborough presided at the annual dinner of this institution last evening, when a very large number of the craft were present. About 65 girls are regu larly educated in this school, all daughters of Masons, and they are rendered fit to undertake different useful occupa t ions in life profitable to themselves and of service to their fellows. If, however, their parents are living they are re stored to them, upon the understanding that if at any time they should require it, they will find a parental home at that asylum where they were first brought up. Although the establishment has existed for many years-;- more than half a century--aill the Masons may well boast that from the com mencement to the present time not a single girl has turned out in a manner to make the patrons blush.

TIMES.—The English are a strangely apathetic peo ple. here we are in the midst of dangers more serious than the alarm of a French, or a Dutch, or a Danish in vasion, and there is no getting any one to stir. It is not merely Government that is threatened, but our very ex istence as am industrious, mercantile, and solvent com munity. First, the Exchequer is menaced to its utter most farthing. Disraeli and his colleagues have devoted. a third of our taxes to destruction. So rife is the spirit of mischief, that almost anybody may propose to the House of Commons the abolition of a profitable tax, and be surprised with a majority. In the North, Ferrand his proclaimed a crusade against cotton, and at this mo ment the fate of millions, a third of our exports, and no slight proportion of our customs, depends, if we believe him, on his inexorable fiat. The incipient rebellion has now retired its head in the heart of the metropolis. On Tuesday seconvention of the British peerage and yeo manry mutually pledged themselves to force upon Par liament the restoration of the corn-laws. Possessing, as they boast,nine-tenths of the horses in this country; being able, at their discretion, to drive the labourers into re volt; and being also, as they intimated, more muscular than the townspeople, they announced their intention of resorting to force, if necessary, and adopting the most terrible steps that a sense of their wrongs could sug gest. By way of breaking ground, it was unanimously resolved to resist taxes and tithes without more ado. It ever there was a crisis, surely this is one. The Pre tender at Derby, the flotilla at Boulogne, the mutiny at the Nore, were dangers comparatively local, external, or distant. But in the present instance we are surrounded, besot, end possessed by resolute men, who announce the most atrocious design's, and are capable of the most effective execution. Yet, strange to say, such is the apathy, perversity, and stupidity of the British people, that no stranger would imagine them so much as con scious of any danger. They walk on a volcano, and know it not. Consols are obstinate at 95i, though threatened with the reduction of the dividend. The Chancellor of the Exchequer is obliged to confine de posits in the savings-banks to 100/., and to reduce the interest as well. There is no military prepara tion. In Paris, if a drunken man singis the "Mar seillaise" after ten o'clock, or the President is lam pooned in a Socialist journal, a hundred thousand men have to sleep under arms. Here not a drummer, not a sentinel, has been added to the force. Nobody expects to get off paying his taxes, except by Act of Parliament. Though cotton is banned the country, the wool-market is inanimate at February's prices. In fact, there is no alteration whatever, any more than if these terrible demonstrations had taken place at Berlin, or Madagascar, or the planet Jupiter, instead of the Crown and Anchor Tavern. Now, how is this? An English man, though generally cool, and constitutionally brave, is not absolutely impenetrable to danger. On the con trary, he is exceedingly cautious and self-defensive. So there must be some reason why, in the present instance, he is really conscious of no danger at all, though it is continually dinned into his ears that he is in very great danger. There are two reasons for the fact—more than two, perhaps, but two reasons so sufficient that we need not ask for more. These reasons are, first, that the noblemen, gentlemen, and tenant farmers who are kick ing up this rote are really not in earnest, and know that what they are saying is all mere moonshine; secondly, that if they were ever so much in earnest, they do not pusses ono respecteble adherent among the working classes—not one labourer or artizsn, of any sort or kind, in the whole country. From John O'Groat's House to the Land's-end they cannot produce one ploughman or shepherd, one miner or collier, one weaver or spinner, one artificer out of a neith whoer, so will stir a finger fur them, unless it be some good•for-nothing fellotv. paid by the day to carry a placard, attend meetings, and swill beer in their behal'. There is an impassable gulf t.e tween them and the working classes. In tie cause of crd.r and the operations of industry landowners and nirmers are omnipotent with their labourers; but it is far otherwise in times of disorder, and in the equal arena of political discussion. Our agricultural labourers know very well that they cannot exist without great Lowest that those great towns cannot exist without our foreign trade, and that our foreign trade is maintained Lim manufactures. Notwithstanding, therefore, some odd bite of Socialism here teed there, in one form or another, the principle of free trade is dominant and sacred iu the heart of British industry; and the labour ing population of this country is almost as one man against the so-called protection. The rage of a wild beast in a cage is more amusing than dreadful. If you s; e a mad bull on the other side of a river you do not quicken your pace, lout stop to observe his futile de monstrations. Now, the British public tae the insur mountable barrier between coroneted Protection and hob-nailed Industry. They see the Duke of Rich mond and his confederates cannot get at the people. Why, what will they do? Take them at their own worth. The illustrious Jolah, the Nottinghamshire Goliath, threatened on Tuesday that the tenant-farmers would soon turn off their labourers, and drive them into combination and revolt, while they would themselves mount their horses, not, however, to suppress the riot, but tJ force protection on the Legislature. Suppose the labourers out of work, and the farmers on horseback — what then? That is the question. The labourers would not march a2ainst the towns. They know better than to do so. They would only be injuring their best friends, and would get• well thrashed into the bargain, for a town can always defend itself against the country. No. They would do what they always have done under similar circumstances. They would destroy thrashing machines, drill machines, and other implements for the economising of labour; and they would finish the day with setting fire to a few ricks and homestead,. Where would Captain Jolah and his troop of Protectionist yeomanry be all this time? Riding about for an appetite in search of au enemy. lit fact, they could do nothing. They know it. Whet, then, becomes of the stuff they talk? At the Tuesday's meeting Mr. 11. Higgins, of Hereford, in seconding a resolution put into his hands by the Duke t f Richmond, said, "I call on the Government, and I tell them to redress our wrongs; and unless they do to we are prepared to ex ercise the strength we still retain in our arms.—(Loud cheers.) If they won't be led by argument and by ra tional means—if they won't listen to the voice c f reason, and to facts and figures which show the impossibility of farmers continuing under this system—if they won't alter their system by moral force—then we will fight for it." This invitation to arms was accepted, wo are told, with tremendous applause, the whole meeting standing up and cheering vigorously. Let them not try the ex periment. The very first people they will have to fight will be their own labourers;—their own plouglireete and carters, and thrashers; and they will have to tight for their own houses and farmyards. When they have beaten their own servants, and secured their own houses, it will then be time for them to decide whether they will march upon Manchester or the metropolis, and whether they will exterminate cotton spinners, or simply reduce them to bondage. So long as that is all the chance they have of restoring the corn-laws, we can afford to laugh at them, and the public at large to take no tie tice what ever of their vagaries. CHRONICLE.—The division on the second reading of Mr. Fitzroy's County Court Extension Bill, carried by the common sense of the country, in defiance of pro fessional prejudice, is a pretty clear proof that the public ate resolved henceforth to judge and act for themselves on questions of law reform. In future, it will Le worse than useless for the judicial phalanx, headed by the At torney -General, to warn them off the hallowed precincts of technicality, or for that distinguished law officer to exclaim, sybil-like, procul, o procul este prvrani. The unlearned crowd will, despite of him, rush in; they will invade the innermost recesses of the sacred grove; and it is just possible that they may in time be emboldened to approach the venerated mystery of Costs. What a host of meanings is comprised in that monosyllabic term. Costs are the mainspring of our judicial system, the in spiration of our lawyers, the pivot of our law. The bare sound evokes a long train of mournful images; and we are rather surprised that Dante forgot to assign a con spicuous place in his "Inferno" to an unsuccessful suitor looking at the sum total of his attorney's bill. Whether, however, the victim poetically condemned to this de scription of penance had bcoa successful or unsuccessful in his suit, might well remain a bone of contention for the commentators. No definite conclusion could be drawn from his occupation or his despair—for the obvious reason that a litigant might easily be ruined by the prosperous prosecution of a single cow se of proceedings, and would have no occasion to exclaim with Pyrrhus, " Another such victory, and lam undone," The monstrous injus tice to which we are snxious to direct attention is_ brought about in two ways—by awarding insufficient costs, or by giving no costs at all. The taxed costs (as they are called) to which a successful party is entitled, are notoriously inadequate to defray his actual expenses, on the most moderate scale? They do not even cover the fees he cannot avoid paying. The distinction between "taxed costs" and "costs as between attorney and client," so familiar to the profession, speaks volumes; and the es tablished mode of calculating &Allele or treble ,oats (occa sionally given by statute) affords a curious illustration of the absurd notions which prevail en this subject. "'The true mode," saes Mr. Archbold, "of estimating the amount of the double costa is, first, to allow the pi evad ing party the single costs, including the expenses of Hit usages, counsel's fees, &c., and then allow him one half of the amount of the single costs. Treble costs ccnsiet of the s i ng le costs, half of the single costs, and half of that half.' Fine by degrees and beautifully less. Thi s true mode cf carrying out the intentions of the L. Orde rer° reduces double to one-and a-half. and treble to one -and-three-quarters! The courts of ; quity have pushed the pracnce of exempting wrong-doers from costs to a highly mischievous extent. Let a trustee, for example, act as perversely or negligently as l e well can, providt d he is not guilty of downright corruption or dis honesty, the entire costs of the vexatious proceedings ho may have originated or prolonged will to saddled upon the trust property. The courts of cones in law maeifset the same reluctance to apply the only rive cheek on litigiousness. We need rot go further for an inetance than to our own law report on Tuesday l ass . I t w ill ih ele be seen that the rule obthitied bj the Attorney-Genera!, on behalf of the Else tee) Tele oaph Company, for a criminal information neeeins Me ,srs. Willnier and Smith, was dismissed without caliing on Mr. Peacock, the second counsel for the de , rendants—a pretty strong intimation cf opinion as to PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY. The anniversary festival of this valuable society, which has for its object the relief of aged and infirm printers and their widows, was yesterday held at the London Tavern ; Mr. Frederick Peel, I\LP., in the chair. The cloth having been removed, after an excellent dinner," The Queen," " Prince Albert, Albert Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family," were the toasts firstdisposed of, the Chairman introducing them most appropriately. Next came " The Stationers' Company," in proposing which Mr. Peel stated that the company had, from the first establishment of the institution over whose anniversary he presided, been amongst its most liberal supporters. To this toast Mr. W. RIVINGTON responded. The CHAIRMAN then said—Gentlemen, I um now about to propose to you the continued and the in creased prosperity of that society in which we all take so great an interest. Its object, indeed, is one which can hardly fail of commanding the sympathy and support of every one present in this room. It concerns the welfare of a class of men engaged in the mechanical labours of an art which is, perhaps, the noblest that has ever yet been invented.—(Cheers.) And certainly, if those who contribute to the happi ness and the pleasure of existence are entitled to tae sympathy and support of their fellow-men, then do I know no class which can prefer a more valid claim on that respect than the body of pressmen and composi tors. There is scarcely any member of the commu nity who is not under an obligation to remember the journeyman printers. The journeyman printer is in strumentally the immediate agent in forming the mind of every man amongst us ; for who is there, I would ask, who would be content to live upon the resources of his own intellect—who does not desire to think the thoughts and profit by . the observations of other men ? Who is there that does not desire to strengthen and sharpen his own faculties by imbibing the knowledge and the reflections of the learned, and by the study of those great works of genius which have been the pro duction of a few enlightened minds ? And, gentle men, but for printing, but for the labour of the jour neyman printer, these great works would have been accessible only to the few. To them, the journeyman printers, we owe the merit of having brought the 1 works of genius within the reach of every man who desires to possess himself of them. And if this is the case with members of the community at large, how much more to the authors of our land ? The noble art of printing, the artisans of which are the objects of this charity, is, of all others, most calculated to promote the improvement and civilization of the world, and it is impossible to forget the obligations which the people of this country owe to the press. ..10 a body its members have ever been the advocates of the free liberty of printing, and have ever contended—successfully contended—for the unrestricted communications of the feelings and opinions of the people. But the consideration which, of all others, makes me take an unaffected interest in the prosperity of this society is the knowledge of the fact that it gives relief to those whom age and infirmity have rendered incapable of active em ployment. It does not, perhaps, give a pension enough to render exertion altogether unnecessary, but one at least sufficient to relieve a poor man of that anxiety which he must feel in the decline of life at the decay of his physical pos?ers.—(Loud cheers.) I had intended at first to have mentioned some of the hardships and vicissitudes of the life of the printer ; but when I recollect the company I am addressing, and my own want of acquaintance with the practical working of his art, I am constrained to forbear detail ing facts with which every man in this room is better acquainted than myself. But when I reflect that theirs is an employment which wears out its workmen sooner than any other—that this is the occasion which consti tutes the main source of income of this society, esta blished for their benefit, I have no doubt that this appeel will meet with the response it has experienced in preceding anniversaries, and enable the society not only to maintain but to extend and to enlarge the circle of its benefits. From the infor mation which I have received, I am given to under stand that I am not over-stating the number of prin ters, pressmen, compositors, and their apprentices, in London,: when I place them at so high a figure as be tween 5,000 and 6,000. Now the number of pen sioners here does not exceed fifty—(Hear, hear)—and I wish not only to see the number of pensioners in creased, but also the value of their pensions mug mented.—(Hear, hear.) These results, however, must depend on your own exertions.—(Cheers.) To them alone the society can look for an enlargement of the basis, a w idening and extension of the opera tions of the charity. And, for myself, I hope that these results will speedily be realised, and ask of you therefore to drink with mc, " The Printers' Pension Society, and increased prosperity to it."—(Cheers.) Mr. Alderman Sanomoas next rose and said that he had been dining at another charity up stairs, but could not resist the impulse to come down on and o be ranged among the supportors of the i urable Gentleman in the chair.—(Hear.) • irman s) excellent good fortune to hear his (the Chairman's) He had had the individuals ro long to see many address and he must say that he . who had lived suffi ciently he foundsuch never more rejoiced than when f ! the day—(Cheers)— of the prosperity of the ll l r r io it u ie s s of London, was mingling in anxious fur f th or e a n political o reputation, who o t the c o a u r n e g o m f e t n l, the p in u g tat t i l o ie n t;o l e i by mingling interests of t p h r a o t m r o e t huge bodies of the people.—(Cheers.) Arid, in that social ehose charities, iirs t to fo found d d light it was a satisfaction to find an individual, of the honoured name of Peel—the son of &statesman that had dcne so much for his country—(Cheers) —so anxious to show to all classes of the people his desire to promote a useful and charitable institution. The Honour able Gentleman in the chair had already entered upon his career in Parliament with no mean success, and having established his reputation there, desired to mingle with the various clams of the people, to un derstand their sympathies, and to know their wishes.— ' (Hear, hear.) The Hon. Gentleman must know much was expected from him. His grandfather, who was a great merchant, and, in that sense, a great pa triot, and his father, who was a great statesman, made such expectations natural; but, for himself, he thought their Chairman had shown himself a man of talent, had exhibited the zeal of a chairman, and, therefore, for his own merits, he proposed health, happiness, and all honour to the Chairman, who bad that day honoured them with his preEence.—(Cheers.) The : CHAIRMAN, responding, briefly regretted his inability better to perform the duties of his office l and, in conclusion, proposed " The Governors and Directors of the Bunk of England," who had that night contributed fifty guineas towards the' charity . 0m This toast having been drunk, Mr. Tu n i n one m e N proposed "The Authors of Great Brit i si a n i ,: , enti w ho, ing the name of the Rev.

The Rev. E. NEALEi proposed immediately after, Mr. C. Pearson, M.P., examined by Mr. WYLD•-• Ile believed that the large body of gas consumers in the City might have, at 4s. per 1,000 cubic feet, and even at less than that, gas superior to that for which they, now paid 6s. per 1,000 feet, after paying to the manufacturer an ample profit. It was on this prin cipal that the Great Central Gas Consumers' Com pany was started. About fifteen years ago the price of gas per 1,000 cubic feet in the City was 155., but since then, owing to the pressure of competition and public opinion, it had been gradually reduced to 7s. and 65., and it was now proposed to fix it at 4s. His view of the matter was that after paying a dividend of 10 per cent., to be derived from supplying at 4s. per 1,000 cubic feet, the surplus should be applied beneficially for the public in a further reduction of price, or, as at Manchester, in some general public improvement. Had the old City companies reduced their price permanently to 45., and consented to come under reasonable regulations, he should never have desired to see them disturbed in their monopoly, provided the public could have been secured for all time in a fair price for gas. On the withdrawal of the Bill last session about 20 or 30 persons out of 500 retired, the persons so retiring holding between 200 and 300 shares, and Mr. Croll, the engineer, paid the entire expense of going to Parliament, amounting to between 3,0001. and 4,000/. About 6,400 gas consumers had contracted to take gas from the com pany on their proposed terms of a maximum of 49. for five years, with a reduction to 3s. 6d. end 35., when increased consumption would admit. The com pany having obtained sufficient capital to warrant them in commencing their works, obtained the con sent of the Commissioners of Sewers to lay down their pipes without waiting for an Act of Parliament, and since the last session the old companies had re duced their prices to ss. and 45., and implied their willingness to be subjected to the same obligations as those proposed to be imposed upon the Consumers' Company. Knew of no impediment to the progress of the company beyond the question of legal liability, and the natural hesitation that in these days there was to embark in undertakings where the liability was not settled by Act of Parliament. The company's con tract with Mr. Croll was for 5,7, or 14 years, the gas to be delivered at ls. 4id. into the company's gas-holders, Mr. Croll to supply the labour and materials, and keep the works in repair, and to have the benefit of all the residual produce. Cross-examined by Mr. TALBOT, Q C., and Mr. WARREN—The company . had made calls on 9,164 shares. The amount of the first call paid was 8,3671., and the second 13,5051., with some outstanding ; and on the third call, which was payable from the 16th of April to the 28th of May, there would be 10,426/. paid ; and some of the directors and others had been paid inti t c b ip er a e tio h n ad o b f een future reci calls, eved 576 shares. 34,0001. The contractors had been paid 5,0001.; for laud at d Altogether fullinn Bow, &c., 5,0001. or 6,0001.; and Parliamentary ex penses, 4,000/• / • and there was 13,000/. in hands at the bankers'. The Parliatnen tary subscription deed showed 15,000 shares, in which 7,000 taken condi tionally found a place. The Hon. CHAlRMAN—Supposing, Mr. Pearson, the City well supplied,with gas, and that the profit did not exceed 10 per cent., do you think there is room for a new company to come in ? Mr. Pearson—Supposing they were on the best terms, and looking at the question singly or simply, I should not think there was. Would not recommend any one to embark if there were no expectation of getting more than 5 per cent profit, but if it were in an improving neighbourhood, should consider 6 per cent. a capital profit. Held 50 shares in the com pany, which were his qualification as a director. The scandalous publications of the opposing companies had affecled the value of the shares, though the general impression in the City was that the concern was a highly respectable one. Mr. Croll, who held 1,250 shares, had staked his whole fortune of some 20,0001. on the issue of this measure. The proposed limits for lighting had been materially altered in the present Bill. Understood that the company's gas factory at Bow was ready for the roo£ They were under con tract to supply the consumers by the 29th of Sep tember, or were liable to actions from 6,000 people. Mr. Deputy Harrison, member of the Court of Sewers, stated that the petition of the inhabitant householders in the city, praying that the Central Gas Company might be permitted to lay down their pipes and mains had been acquiesced in by 30 out of 80 members of the Court. The old companies then re duced their prices to 4a., but as it was feared this would not be permanent, the Central Gas Company were urged to go on with their Bill this session. Toe Court of Sewers had granted the permission under their seal, and could not revoke it. Mr. Fieling, linendraper, said the recent reduc- tions in price from 6s. to 4s. stimulated consumption. The tradesmen burnt more gas, and added lights to the upper part of their dwellings. Mr. CORRIE, on the pare of the opponents, raised an objection to the Bill to the effect that its title was not in conformity with the objects sought for in the preamble and proposed provisions. The CHAIRMAN overruled the objection, and the Committee adjourned till Friday. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. TUE MARKLAND SERMON.

Fletcher, Minister of St. Saviour's Church, Haverstock-hill, 2 vols.—The extraordinary discoveries which Mr. Layard has of late made at Nimroud, have given a special interest to all information coining from that locality, while the stir ring events of which the Eastern parts of the world have become the scene, give additional importance to any wells written narrative, which enters fully into a detail of passing events and circumstances. The present work of the Rev. Mr. Fletcher will therefore command considerable attention; fur it communicates not only the incidents of a two- years a ' 3 _ i residence in the immediate locality of Nineveh, but giv es districts further account of excursions into the most remote of Assyria, which are but little known at present. A4leeb these n particular characteristics are detailed i'l m o st agreeable manner, g manner, under the attractive form of an e le gant com bined with a matter-of-fact description whi truthful, and thoroughly to be depended u c l h io s n t . a in a p 'h s er it e i as s, therefore, every a tt rac tion about it to ma ke it a moat popu lar publication, and to render it as useful as it is entertain ing.—Messenger.

Some interesting anectiotes relative to the sieges of Antwerp, Gibraltar, Pisa, Badajos. Ciudad Rodrigo, &c., were introduced in the course of the lecture, and at its close an explanation was given of the various terms used in fortification, the weight of metal, calibre, and range of the various sized guns, howits zers, mortar s , and rockets, and the composition and power of shells, grape and canister shot, and shrapnel shells. The su periority of i ron over brass guns was pointed out in the fact, that after eight or ten rounds the latter began to melt at the muzzle and vent, and were so hot as to be rendered useless, wl,ile the former during one of the sieges in the Peninsular war were filed continuously for fifteen hours at the rate of 21 rounds per hour, the only inconvenience being that the vent was enlarged to the size of the mouth of a drinking glass, and the gnu consequently required an additional charge of powder. The lecture was listened to with much interest and attention, and at its termination the gallant officer was loudly applauded. 'the subject of permanent fortifications will be resumed on Wednesday next. and will be followed by lectures on field works, and attack and defence, &c. ' CHEAP EDITION OF " JANE ETRE."
