tFourtt Mbition SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock, itEAT INDIAN PENINSULA RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) The half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of the above railway was held to-day at the London Tavern; Lord Wharncliffe, chairman of the board of directors, in the chair. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, the following report was submttted to the meeting:— " The directors have much pleasure in meeting the proprietors on this occasion, the first opportunity pre sented under the Act of Incorporation. Since the shareholders were last assembled together the Act of Parlianaent has been passed for the incorporation of the company, and the formal contract with the Hon. East India Company has been executed under the seals of the companies respectively. "J. C. Melvin, Esq., the Secretary of the Hon. East India Company, has been appointed by the Hon. Court the ewogielo director at this bond, an arrangement which tends very much to facilitate the communications with the Hon. Court and the general business of the company. " The amount of calls paid into the treasury of the lion. East India Company in London, during the half year ending Dec. 31, 1849 (including the sum of 25,0001., the amount of preliminary expenses admitted as capital), was 95,000/. On the Ist of March a fur ther sum of 25,0001. was paid into the treasury. In In dia, the sum of rupees 114,555 has been paid into the treasury of the Government of Bombay; and a further cell in India (making, with the deposit, a sum equivalent to 20s. per share) is declared payable in May. "In making the appointment of the permanent staff of officers and servants, the directors have been guided by a principle of securing the utmost practical efficiency at a fair rate of remuneration, not fergetting what is due to the qualifications which they considered to be in . etspensable on the one hand, or to motives of true coonomy on the other; and not forgetting the cif rence cf circumstances between England and ludia. In negotiating the terms of an ar rangement with Mr. Chapman, who was intended to be the manager of the company in India, the directors found themselves compelled to decline his services, Mr. Chap ream having required sucia terms, in money and powers, el were deemed i. compatible with the interests of the is: , arebolderfi. At the instance cf the Hon. East India Company, the office of manager has "nen dispensed with, and the salary appertaining to that office has been wholly kayo:3. The duties of management will devolve on the lecal committee, composed of directors acting under the authority of the London board. " Upon the recommendation of Mr. Robert Stephen son, the board appointed, as chief resident engineer, Mr. James J. Berkley, together with Mr. Kerrand Mr. Gra ham, two other well-qualified engineers, and a staff of assistants. The t tett' arrived out at Bombay early in February, and commenced active opera.- Cons wAliout delay. The directors have much gratification in stating that the Government of Bombay has most readily met and promoted the views of the d rectors; at d tro zeal and interest which are mani fested in the undertaking by the engineering and other officers of Government—heartily co-operating with the servants cf this company,—give the directors a well grounded hope that the work will be rapidly ad vanced. At the date of the last dispatches, the surveys in the island of Bombay were completed, and between Bombay and Tannah the surveys and working sections were being proceeded with, and preliminary steps were already taken for staking out a portion of the line, na:asures which had received the approval of the Government. Some material improve ments have been effected in the direction and propofei formation of the line of railway; by which, without adding to the length of the line, considerable expense will be saved in construction." The.bilance-sheet represented the receipts to amount to 95,0001., and the expenditure to 30,2571., leaving Gt 743/. in hand. The CHAIRMAN, In moving the adoption of the re port, said it was highly gratifying to him to meet the proprietors now fur the first time as an incorporated company, whom he assured that the affairs of the concern were never more prosperous than they were at the peesent time. The work might be said to have been commenced in India, where the company were working with the cordial assistance and co-opera tion of the East India Company. Theetaff of engineers whom they had sent out, were proceeding with their la'iours in a very creditable, because successful, manner; and he, for one, had no doubt that this railway would ultimatebr prone to be a most profitable under taking. Having seen the company to this advanced stage of its progress, he felt somewhat anxious to resign his position of chairman into the hands of those who placed him in it, but at their urgent request he intended "to retain his seat. It would be seen by the report that the services of Mr. Chapman had been declined. Now, however that course was to to regretted, he could as sure the meeting that it was not determined upon until Mr. Chapman had made demands upon the directors which were quite incompatible with their independence as 3 board of management. In fact Mr. Chapman wished to be placed in the same situation with regard to this concern that Mr. Macdonald Stephenson stood in with reference to the East India Railway company, and as the powers which such a posi tion would have given him must have had the effect of ,dperseding the functions of the local board of direction, the home management thought it to be their duty to de cline his services, if they were only to be obtained upon Those t': ms.—(Hear, hear.) Besides, the remuneration demanded by Mr. Chapman was extravagant in the ex treme, and upon economical principles they were justi fied in declining his te,viLea. The directors found that the company's finances would not t ear the expense of Mr. Chapman's services, valuing them at the rate ho did himself, and they bad therefore no alternative but to reject bis offer.—(Cheers.) After some discussion, the report was adopted, and then the directors named in the Act of incorporation were confirmed in their office, and 7fl gentlemen resident in India elected as a local 'ward of management, af.er which tvro shareholders were appointed auditors. Thanks were then voted to the Noble Chairman, and the meeting terminated. tAIPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) MOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships met at Five o'clock. WEST INDIA APPEALS BILL.

The Earl of LUCAN presented a petition, complaining of the misconduct of the vice-guardians of the union of Mohill, tend inquired whether the Government during the present session proposed any amendment of the law in respect of the appointment of vice-guardians in Ire land. The Noble Earl went at great length into details regarding the receipt and expenditure of the union of Mohill for the purpose of supporting the allegations of the petition, and denounced th• law as moss arbitrary. He admitted that the Lord-Lieutenant had done all in his power to check abuse, but that was impossible, and he therefore thought the time had arrived for a revision of the law, and be thought the Government ought to take the earliest op portunity in th e i r power to a l tar i t, an d h e as k e d the Noble Marq u i s if i t was their intention to i ntro d uce an y measure to alter the law t Ile moved that the petition be re:erred to the Select CJaimittee ;on the Irish Poor law. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE was not prepared to state what were the intentions of her Majesty's Govern moot. The Marquis of IiVIiSTMEAsIII expressed his regret at the answer whi c h the Noide l question of hi s N o b le Friend arquis h a d g i ven to t h e The Earl of M OUNTCASIIELL asked if it was the intention of the G overnment to cd la so t intend, wh ere was permit s the present s t a t e of things to contin ue ?

SUNDAY ARRANGEMENTS IN THE POST OFFICE. Mr. FAGAN asked the Secretary of the Treasury whether it was intended to extend to the post-offices in Ireland the regulations existing in the provincial offices in England, as respects Sunday duties, namely, that they should be closed on the Sundays from ten .L.Dt. to five P at., except for the necessary receipt and despatch of mails, the box merely being left open for the receipt of stamped and unpaid letters; and it so intended, when was it probable that the alteration in this respect would be made? Mr. HAYTER said that, when the original arrangement was made for the reduction of Sunday labour in the Post-office, it was in the contem plation of the parties who suggested it to extend the arrangement both to Ireland and Scotland, at the first convenient opportunity, provided it should be successful. So far as the measure bail been carried out in England he (Mr. Hayter) believed it met with universal approbation, though a good deal of mis apprehension had existed on the subject. Inquiries had lately :been instituted by the Postmaster-General, with the view of carrying out a similar arrangement in Ireland and Scotland, and those inquiries having ter minate,], he had made an application to the Treasury for its sanction to enable him to carry the new regulations into immediate effect, and that sanction had been ob tainc d. Mr. GROGAN asked if it was the intention of the Government to extend to Scotland and Ireland the pro posed regulations with respect to Sunday labour in the Post-office. Mr. HAYTER said those regulations would be ex tended to Ireland and Scotland, so far as the postal arrangements in those parts or the kingdom admit of it. THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. Mr. B. OSBORNE begged to ask the Hon. Member for Lancaster, the Chief Commissioner for building the New Houses of Parliament—(A laugh)—a question. The House would probAly be aware that a Committee of this House sat in 1846, and they made a report that they were convinced that so l o ng as cer t ain squabbles between Mr. Barry, the architect, and Dr. Reid, the ventlator, contineed, the Houses of Parliament would never be finished.— (Laughter.) He begged to ask the Hon. Member (Mr. Greene) whether he had succeeded in adjusting those squabbles, and whether he was aware that an action was about to be commenced in one of the courts of law by the architect against the venti lator?—(Renewed laughter.) Mr. GREENE said he was certainly aware there was an action pending between Mr. Barry and Dr. Reid, but happily that subject had not come within the pro vince of the Commissioners ; but their best endea vours had been applied, of course, to reconcile the differences between those parties, without, how ever, their efforts having been successful. The Commissioners were obliged to carry on the works as well as they possibly could—(A laugh)—but certainly it was no easy matter to arrange matters between the contending parties —(Hear, hear.) Mr. B. OSBORNE gave notice that on an early day he should call the attentian of the House to the desira bility of getting rid of both Mr. Barry and Dr. Reid.—(Loud cheers.) EVICTIONS IN GALWAY. Mr. P. SCROPE gave notice that to-morrow he would ask the Secretary of State for Ireland whether he was aware that as many as 518 ejectment processes had been served in a single day in the county of Galway. by which 30,000 persons bad been driven in one day from their homes?—(Hear, hear.) And whether the system of ejections was not illegal, and a high crime and misde• meanour by the ancient common law of Irealand. REIATCTION OF OFFICIAL SALARIES. Mr. MILNER, GIBSON asked the Member for Ox. fordshire whether he meant to proceed with his motion to-morrow with reference to the reduction of salaries? Mr. HENLEY said it was certainly his intention to proceed with his motion to-morrow. The exact terms of his motion would be printed, and be in the hands of members to-morrow morning, but it would not differ materially from the motion now on the votes. CHARLESTON. Mr. COCKBURN rose to ask a question of the Noble Lord at the head of Foreign Affairs, which he said was occasioned by a case which had lately occurred at the Thames Police-court. It was whether he was aware of the practice of the authorities of the town of Charleston, to seize British subjects, being men of colour, on board British vessels in the port of Charleston, and to imprison the m during the time such vessels remain in that port; and whether her Majesty's Government have made any efforts with the Government of the United States to pre vent British subjects from being thus outraged. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman characterised this practice as one not only in direct violation of the law of nations, but as scandalous and disgraceful to humanity.—(Hear.) Lord PALMERSTON said the subject to which the H on. and Lear ne d G ent l eman had drawn the attention of the House wa s , h e was sorr y t o say, not a new one to her Majesty's Government. It was an undoubted fact that the practice alluded to the citizens oafudthoef laws of the st a t e to was one sanctioned by the It was quite unnecessa e r free states equally applicable eri a c p a pl a ic s ab t l o e the subjects any man must entertain o arose from the unfortun ate the i y ti f it t e o n e e xpr o e f ss th fb e re o i p g i n nion p rh e ic r h s. this institutions which ( C h e e x e i r e s t .e)a in a matter of very serious -I:Lion ' the Southern States of and which were now difference Majesty' s in the Congress of the United States. Her Majesty's Minisjte r st a y t 's?overnment, in 1847, a ordered note o her h th Me subject aj to the United Washington to present States' Government, and to remonstrate against this law, not merely as incon sistent with the usual practice of civilised nations, but as at variance with certai n art i c l es i n the treaty of 1815, British between the British Gover nment an d the Government, providing for the residence oljßiteited sub jects in the United States territory. The answer States the received from Mr. Buchanan was to th e effec t federal Government had no power to ieducethat the and Legislature of Carolina to move this law, and Senateehet if the British Goverment insisted upon this, prestki . g the Government of the United States on the ground founded upon the article iii the treaty of 1815, the Government at the United States would find it necessary to take advan tage of a clarse lat he ireat y of 1827, which gave power to eiter party to ennui the treaty on giving 12 months notice. It was to be regretted that such a practice existed; but, on the other hand, it was as well that it was a matter of public notoriety, because every free person of colour being a subject of her Majesty, who went voluntarily into the jurisdiction of that state, knew beforehand the inconvenience he was liable to be subjected to.—(Hear.) WOODS AND 'FORESTS. Viscount DUNCAN wished to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether any one of the existing Commis sioners of Woods has applied for superannuation, and if so, whether he has obtained it. Lord JOHN RUSSELL was understood to reply, that in one case it had been applied for. Mr. Mills had re tired on 1,50 t 0/. a-year (as we understood). Lord DUNCAN had another question to put to the Noble Lord. Ile wished ask whether it was intended to appoint any one of the existing Commissioners of Woods, Forests, Works, &c., to the office of Chief Com missioner of Woods, under the Bill now depending in Parliament for the separation of the two departments? Lord J. RUSSELL could not answer that question. ECCLESIASTICAL AFFAIRS. Sir B. HALL, notwithstanding that it was the inten tion of Government to proceed with the Ecclesiastical Commission Bill this evening, he wished to put a ques tion to the Noble Lord, of which he had given notice, on the subject of a rumour which had recently gained ground iu the metropolis, and which he hoped the Noble Lord would be able to inform him was without foundation. Lord JOHN RUSSELL begged pardon for inter rupting the Hon. Baronet, but he begged to tell bim that he only received his note at two o'clock this of er noon. He immediately wrote off to obtain informa tion, but up to this time he had not received an answer. Perhaps, therefore, the Hon. Baronet would be good enough to put his question off till to-morrow. Sir B. HALL had no objection to do so; and in the meantime he begged to give notice that the question he should put to-morrow would be to this effect : There was an office in the Prerogative Court of Canter bury, known as the Registrar, a sinecure vslued at 9,0001. to which the Archbishop of Canterbury had the power of presenting a successor as the office became vacant. One of the lives which had b, en nominated became vacant during the time of the late Archbishop, which the late primate had neglected to fill ep, and the pre sent Archbishop had taken advantage of this omission to fill up the vacancy. He should therefore ask the Noble Lord, to-morrow, whether the Archbishop of Canter bury had not filled up the vacancy, by nominating Mr. Sumner, a son of the Bishop of Winchester, to the office? EVICTIONS IN GALWAY. Mr. MACCULAGH wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet the Sf cretary for Ireland, whether ho had re ceived any information relative to certain transactions which had occurred in Galway. He alluded to a matter which had formed the subject of comments in the public newspapers, and which he was sorry to say, was confirmed by private letters. It was said that there had been latterly a wholesale system of evictions carried forward in the Martin estate by the Law Life Assurance Company, who were the mortgagees, and he wished to ask the Right Hon Baronet wh‘ ther be had received any infor mation on the subject, either in his capacity of Secretary for Ireland or us poor•law commissioner. sir vir comPuviLLu Lad no informittion whatever on the subject. SAVINGS' BANKS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then rose pursuant to notice, to move fur leave to bring in a Bill to amend the law relating to savings' banks. He was sorry that any delay bad taken place in bring ing on the subject before the Honse, having given notice as early as the first night of the session that he would move for leave to bring in a Bill, but illness and press of business had prevented him doing so until the present time.—(Hear, hear.) He would make no apology in laying the propositions which he intended to make before the House, :because all were agreeed as to the importance of the subject, and few who had turned their attention to it were unconscious of the extreme difficul ties which would beset at any attempt to make an alte ration in the present law as concerned these societies, That some further legislation was necessary as to the constitution of savings banks, they were all equally agreed. It appeared that it was nearly forty years ago when societies were first formed for the purpose of affording the poor a secure mode of investing their savings, and of obtaining the payment of interest upon them. From that time they had gradually grown up into importance until they now had as much as twenty millions invested in their hands, and it was not surprising that these institutions should re quire new regulations when their operations had become so gigantic. But there were other circumstances which rendered it equally necessary for the Legislature to inter fere. Most of the savings banks now in existence were ori ginated and supported by reputable and benevolent per sons, but they did not give that regular and constant attendance to their affairs which was indispensably ne ces.ary to their attaining a state of efficiency. Without attributiug any blame to the trustees and patrons of those banks, he would say, that with few exceptions they gave no regular attention to their duties, and the affairs of the banks were generally left to the management of a secre tary, an actuary, a clerk, or some other officer over whom sufficient vigilance was not exercised. From re cent failures of those institutions it appeared that the trustees were in the habit of signing checks in blank, and also that the cheeks which they exercised was, in many instances, merely of a nominal character. The Bill which it was his intention to pro pose was entirely a prospective Bill ; and at a later period of the evening he should propose that a Commit tee be appointed to take into consideration the last section which it contained. He thought it would only encumber the Bill to extend its operations to past transactions. It would perhaps be advisable to refer shortly to the his tory and progress of these societies, because people seemed hardly aware of the nature of their constitu tion. Not much more than thirty years ago they were not at all recognised by the Legislature. It was little more than forty years, as he had already mentioned, since they were first formed. He believed the first society was established at Wendover, in 1799. In 1804 a similar society was formed at Totten ham t in 1808 another was formed at Bath, and in 1810 one was established at Dumfries. The one at Tottenham was started by 6 benevolent individuals for the savings of the poorer classes, and they agreed to allow 5 per cent. npon the deposits. Each of these 6 persons were responsible to the extent of 1001. They were to have another trustee for every 1001. Now to such an extent did these voluntary societies go, that in the year 1847, when the first legislation took place on the subject, there bad been formed by the voluntary association of benevolent persons no less than seventy of those societiea in England, four in Wales, and four in Ireland ; and the whole object of that legislation was to prohibit the trustees from receiving any profits and to provide for the deposit of the moneys of the societies in the public funds. There was no security whatever previously for the deposits except the credit of the trustees, and their honourable dealings with the depositors. In 1817 the Government undertook to receive the moneys deposited in the savings' banks, and to be responsible for them, and to allow a certain rate of interest thereon. In 1824 an Act was passed to render it imperative on the trustees to transmit to the Commissioners for the reduction of the national debt the deposits to be lodged from time to time in the banks, and to be invested in the public funds. From that time the Government became re sponsible for all the money transmitted to them, but they became responsible for nothing else. A certain rate of interest was allowed to the trustees for the management of the bank, and the remainder was to go to the depositors. (Hear, hear.) In 1828 the preceding Acts were consolidated into one. In was then esacted that the rules should be properly cer tified by an officer appointed by the Government. The trustees were exempted from liability, except for their own individuals acts of neglect or fraud. In 1844 an Act was passed, which exempted the trustees from all liability whatever, and reduced the rate of interest. The whole duty, and the whole responsibility of the Govern ment, consisted in this—the rules of savings' banks were to be transmitted to the proper officer appointed !by the Government to certify them, and to see that they wece in conformity to law. The trustees were per fectlp competent to make what rules they pleased, pro vided they were but inconsistent with the law. It was the duty of the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt to receive any stuns that might be transmitted to them by the trustees to invest them in the funds, and to pay them back to them when wen properly called upon by the trustees. Annual accounts were only:required to be trans mitted to Parliament by the trustees; and the Commis sioners of the National Debt had a cheque on the trustees in the knowledge furnished, and they had also the power of closing their account with the trustees if they saw fit. With regard to all other matters the trustees of those savings banks had a complete control over those banks. The first question which had been raised•by the recent discussions on this subject had been as to the extent of the responsibility of the Government and as to the responsibility of the trustees. The trustees were altogether liable for the neglect that might be incurred by them as individuals; and the Government were only responsible for the safe custody of such moneys as had been transmitted from the banks to the Com missioners for the reduction of the National Debt. In the year 1848 the responsibility of trustees was affirmed, but in 1844 the liability was removed from them, and it must be perfectly understood that there was no responsibility. Hon. Gentlemen seemed entirely to have forgotten the origin of these bodies, that they were voluntary associations, and not connected with the Government at all. The Government were merely their bankers, and responsible for the money that was paid. Until the last year or two the theory of the re sponsibibility of Government had never been advanced, nor bad any application been made to Government fur compensation. No instance bad occurred of any loss having been sustained by the failure of any savings' bank until the year 1824, at Carmarthaen. The trustees at that time were liable, but it turned out that they were not able to supply the deficiency, and the Lord Lieutenant of the county, he believed, under took to compensate all the sufferers. The terms of the responsibility of the Government was quite a new one. Nor did be think that in his pro posed measure it would be right to take upon the Government the charge of making good any defiCiency which might occur from thene a gnlyecggen er al e . r any l but its interference owr t officers. He also thought that with the appointment of officers in the savings', banks would destroy that which he held to be a valuable portion of savings bank, namely their voluntary cha racter, but he proposed to appoint a treasurer who would generally be a local banker, and he would make it a high crime and m i s d emeanour f ur any ot h er person but the treasurer to • receive and pay money. By doing this be thought he should remove the greatest occasion of fraud. He proposed at the same time to repeal the clause of the Act of 1844, which entirely did away with the re sponsibility of the trustees. They were officers of the Bank, and although the real responsibility would rest with the treasurer and manager, it was nothing but right that the trustees should share in some degree the responsibility so as to p revent m i sconduct on their pert. The first clause of the Bill specified the duties of the treasurer, and made it a misde meanour for any other officer to receive or pay money. The next question which the Bill dealt with was the subject of audit. When he introduced his Bill relating to Ireland, some objec tion was taken as to the mode of audit there . estab iehed, inasmuch as it could not apply' with any degree of satisfaction to sea-port towns. It bad, however, been partially in operation in most of the large sea-pores in this country where it had proved m.st successful, and he proposed to extend the system of audit now in tioia in Irelani to savings' banks of Engl-inci, reserving however power to the Treasury- to send inspectors to examine the books. Thus be dispo,ed of the second clause. The third clause dealt with the question of interest to be allowed on deposits. He proposed that the Government should act as the bankers of the depositor. The depositor did not care so much about interest as the security of his deposits, and it was only fair that when Government rag the risk of guaranteeing the repayment of deposits, without reference to the loss which might arise on the purchase and sale of stock, that the interest should be at a low rive. At present the managers of a savings' bank received 31 ss. as interest on the monies they paid to the Go vernment, they allowing 2/.175. 6d. to their depositors. lie proposed to reduce these two sums to 3/. and 2/. 15!;. He also proposed that the deposits should not extend beyond 100/, when the payment of interest would cease; but the depositor, when his deposits reached that amount would have the power, it he thought fit, o► converting his 100/. into stock free of expense.—(hear.) (LEFT SPEAKING.) with Mesrs. Stirling and Kinlock for a fortnight, with power on his part to continue if it was found mutually advautag..:'ous. The contract with Mr. Watts was t h at he should not play within twelve miles of Lon ; but .hen the th4:atyc was closed he fit himself at liberty to engage hitm•elf at another theatre. Mr. SAuGOeD acid there was no doubt of The Learned Coun.c-1 then proceeded to it:quire of the insol vent whr.:t expectations he had of paying the debts he now owed. The insolvent said he had every expectation. Before last December he had various engagements—sharing engagements in the country. There were, he knew, some small debts in the schedule—;one of seven guineas, for cab hire when he was at Manchester, which was the balance of an account. There were some debts which he had not paid on account of his inability. Mr. SA RGOOD said it was well known that in the theatrical procession there were difficulties in the outset. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS —And I believe in other professions as well. lii answer to further questions the insolvent said he had not been able, for want of means, to p a y for th e hire of the cab. Hei had nosy no property to give up to the creditors—mo theatrical dresses. The dresses he thed he had on hire of Messrs. Nathan, when he first o,lrne to Lordon, irs 1348. He had paid Messrs. Nathan 1031. 3s. 61, and now ossi d them 1091. for debts and costs. A discussion arose respecting the hiring of the goods, ,nti it was stated that more had been paid tor tht m than they were worth. The insolvent further stated that he hid not the means to purchase his theatrical dresses, and therefore) hired them of Nathan, and had not paid any money until he was arrested. He was performing at the Olympic Theatre about five months in 1848, under Mr. Spicer sod .11r. Danton. He was paid 201. a week, and then it was increased to 25/., and for two months he had 301. a week. He had received in the five months about 5001. The re mainder of the year he was at Brighton and other places, Aid trade, he should suppose, 1501. He was not a mar ried man, but was in difficulties, and devoted his money to pay his debts at Liverpool and Manchester, where he was a resident. He did not know what he owed Messrs. Nathan, but he did not expect the exorbit int charge they had made of 1031. He thought that 501. would have been a moderate charge for the dresses, or 1/. a week. Mr. Commissioner — PumuPs asked the real value of the dresses hired. Itholvent—A. mere nothing. Mr. COOKE—About how much? Insolvent—About 404 Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS—Made up for show. Mr. SARGOOD said it was like hiring a horse and chaise—more was paid in time ►han the value. Mr. Coaami.oluner PHILLIPS—That depends on cir cumstances. I never did and thing of the kind. After a few more questions and a conference between .he counsel, Mr. COOKE said be had been speaking to his Learned Friend about paying the debts. He hod an offer to make, .ut he would not make it before his friend had had toe ipportunity of opening his case. Mr. Brooke's charac er before the public was of gre .t importance to him, and therefore he had abstained from making the offer, that the public might know there was nothing in the case to sifeet his character. Mr. SARGOOD readily admitted that there was nothing in the ca•e against Mr. Brooke's character. It was as • ell that it should go fowl to Vie public. Mr. COOKE said be had the honour of seeing Mr. 3rooke on the subject before he came into court. His ;13aracter was everything with him, and from his great talents, the offer he was about to make was one that would certainly b-nefit the creditors. It was proposed that, at the end of each year, Mr. Brooke should make statement of his gro.s receipts, and pay into court one aighth for his creditors, so that if he made 8001., here would be a 100/. for the creditors. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS said he saw an item in the proceedings of 8001. for travelling expenses. Mr. COOKE said the expenses incurred were very •rent. Mr. SARGOOD said he should prefer a fixed sum. Without being personal, actors were known to have some habits of extravagance. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS—This gentleman has a character to support, and I see no debt of extravagance in the schedule. There is nothing in the case to affect Mr. Brooke's character in the least degree. It was then arranged that a day should be named for he final order. Mr. Bloomer, the creditor in person, opposed. His .1i bt was only 2/ 16s. 4d., and he had sued Mr. Brooke in the county court. He wanted his ch bt erased from the schedule, so that he might have his remedy in the !ounty court; but the Commissioner t.ild him that it coukl not be done. A discussion arose respecting the periods at which \tr. Brooke was to render an amount of his professional income; Mr. Sargood wanted it quarterly, but Mr. Cooke proposed half yearly, and, eventually, the first account was to be rendered by Christmas next. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS said he understood that Mr. Brooke was in expectation cf an immediate engage ment. The insolvent said he expected an engagement. Mr. Commissioner PLTILLIPS—I have very little doubt hat the debts will be paid, provided he has his health; see no reason to doubt it. It was then arranged that the first account should be rendered at Christmas next, and the 24th May was fixed tor the final order. MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY. Yesterday, between one and two o'clock, a rumour rapidly spread throughout that part of the parish of Clapham lying near to the Wandsworth-romi, that a murder and robbery had taken place that morning daring he hours of Divine service at the house of Mr. John Meddle, Claremont-place, Wandsworth-road, and that the person murdered was that gentleman's huusekeepur. At a few minutes to eleven o'clock, Mr. Maddle left his house to attend Divine service at Clapham church. Mr. Maddle returned shortly atter one o'clock, and ring ing the bell at the gate several times, and finding he could make no one hear, he went round to the garden Kato, which, to his surprise, was unfastened. Ha went in. The washhouse door was open, as also the back kitchen, and he was almost paralysed at beholding his housekeeper lying on her back in the front kitchen, her legs extending over the threshhold of the door, and her head lying towards the French windows that open into the area in front of the holm. Mr. Muddle felt the body, and believing, as was the fact, that life was ex tinct, rushed out and alarmed the neighbourhood. For some short time so horrified were the n.-ighbours that none of them, though earnestly appealed to by Mr. Meddle, would go into the house. At last Mrs. Travash and Mrs. Staples went in, and found the deceased lying as stated, but under most extraordinary circum stances. Her right leg was partly drawn up under the body, and entangling the foot, which was without a shoe (which is missing), was a coil of rope used in hanging out clothes; her head rested on six or seven folds of carpeting, and within six inches of the head was a basin containing about a pint of clean water. The face, hands, and other parts of the body were cold. There was not the smallest contortion of features nor, so far as was observed, any marks of personal violence. The eyes were closed as if in sleep, and but fur the ghastly ex pression of the face it could have hardly been imagined but sho slept. The police were very promptly on the spot, as also Mr. Parrott, jun., the surgeon to the police force, who examined the body. and pronounced life to have been ex tinct some time. He could detect no outward marks of violence, nor was there any mucus flawiug from the mouth or nostrils. On entering the house Mr. Maddle had found it in a state of great disorder, and very soon discovered that a gold watch, some jewellery, consisting of rings, Ste., and some plate had been carried off. Mr. Coleman, the inspector of police, having communicated with Mr. Bicknell, the superintendent of the V division, made an examination of the premises, and found that every drawer, box, and even the iron chest, bad been opened and ransacked, and a small box, in which the housekeeper kept her money, was emptied of its contents. A very great deal more labour appeared to have been ex pended i❑ opening the various drawers, cupboards, &c., than would have been used by an expert thief. What the amount of property stolen actually is cannot at pre sent be stated. From subsequent information Amused by Inspector Coleman and his men, it would appear that two men were seen in a bye-road near the rear of the house at about twenty minutes past twelve o'clock at noon, and one of them is described as follows :—Short stature, with a..blotched face; dressed in a dark coat with pockets at the side, a black neckerchief and a red plaid handkerchief containing a bundle. The other was tall and thin, with curly hair, he was dressed in dark clothes, and carried a blue big; they went iu the direc tion of Balham. Betwee❑ eleven and twelve o'clock a man was lurking about the bye-lane, and lay down in the grass in the rear of the house. He was attired in shabby black clothes and black neckerchief with spot♦. Another man, about the same time, was seen near the spot. At a later part of the evening Dr. Parrott, the father of the previously, mentioned surgeon, attended by son, examined the body. Dr. Parrott remarked that there was no suffusion in the eyes, nor any congebtion; there was no protrusion of the tongue, and nos the slightest scratch; and it was further remarked that the deceased appeared to be in good health. wlyttre h wa3 looked up. The little girl, and a younger chtli titlet.p in the rot - tin, were rftn - toved to the workhouse. When unfortunate wouLin r,-ach-d the hospital he , eked was found to Iv, fractured, and her fore.;e m l eompletidy beano in. Iler ribs w,•re all broken, and her lef,; side I,:ercibly injured. At two o'clock yesterday afternoon Pr4 , 1, , 50r Fergusou, tip, physician to toe hospital, found the poor womsti in such a prcearion , state that he at once proc , .'eded to 13,w-street for ihe magistrate to sums aini take her depo,;iti , iris. Mr. Hail, the chief magistrate, was soon in attendance, accom panied by Inspector Black and Mr. O'Brien, the as sistant clerk. The prisoner was brought up in custody of two policemen. Having heard some one remark that his wile's head was completely smashed, he shuddered, and said, " Ah! she must have fallen head fir-most." During the time that the depositions were being taken the prisoner appeared in great agony. The woman said sho was thirty-five years of age, and her husband lad frequently beaten her in an unmerciful man lier. Sometimes with a poker. Latterly he had been much more affectionate and kind to her. On Saturday night they had been out drinking together. They got home about half-past twelve. In a snort time afterwards she said or did something which displeased him, when he struck her over the face a , A2l head. The last blow knocked some of her teeth out; she then heard him call fora ptker, and she, to escape, pushed the window up, fir the purpose of calling assisiance, when she fell or threw herself out. She knew she was dying, and prayed for fergiv eaess. The little girl, who said her name was Martha Donovan, confirmed what her mother had stated about the quarrelling, and added, that she ran to the window, .hen her father followed, and lifting her up, threw ),er out of window int the back yard. and she fell first or, her face and then on the back of her heck. She had fre qu,ntly seen her father beat her mother. The prisoner then took a. tarewell of his wife, but said nothing about the occurrence. He was removed back to his cell et Bow-street, ATTEMPTED MURDER. A very painful sensation prevailed during the whole of yesterday in the immediate vicinity of Drury-lane, in consequence of a report that Donovan, the pugilist, had murdered his wife, by throwing her out of the window. From careful inquiries made the reporter ascertained that the unfortunate woman had been thrown out of tt , e window, and the injuries sbe thereby received prevent the possibility of her recovery. Donovan, who follows the trade of a blacksmith when not in training for pugilistic encounters, resides at No. 17, Short's-gardens, Drury-lane, and on Saturday night was drinking with his wife at a public-house in the neighbourhood. They both left when the house closed at twelve o'clock, and they arrived at their home shortly afterwards. Nothing was seen or heard of either of them until about half-past one o'clock, when some of the lodgers heard a screaming and a cry of " Police" pro ceeding from Donovan's room. The occupier of the next house, who was sitting up, mad who heard the alarm, ran into Drury-!ane to procure assistance. Ile met a policeman, to whom he said he was afraid a mur der was being committed in the next house to his own. The officer without a moment's delay ran into Donovan's house, when ho found the various lodgers in the back yard and the almost lifeless body of the wife. Several other officers having arrived, they procured a stretcher, on which the poor creature was placed, and removed to King's College Hospital. Polite -constable Gatib then went up stairs to Donovan's room, on the second floor, where he found the mars leaning against the wall. A little girl, who was in the room crying, informed the constable Plat her father had thrown her mother out of window. The officer thereupon told Donovan that he must consider himself in custody for the murder of his wife. Donovan replied, " Oh, well, I will go with you, but she did it herself; she threw, herself out of window." The man was then removed to Bow-street police station, THE WIND° 1V -TAX. If we help to keep open the question of the window tax, it will readily be understood that we are not pressing for its immediate abolition, or for its abolition at all, without some equivalent duty in its stead. Nothing can ha done this session, and it is vain to expect that even ❑ext session the country will he in is cunaitio❑ to strike off more than 1,800,0001. from its revenue, chi. fli f..r the benefit of the wealthier classes. In general, toe, it is of very little use to fret about a tax, which must be borne whether we like it or not. But there are circum stances about the window-tax which make it an excep tion, just now especially. In the first place, every house that is built—from the cottage which pays no window tax to the mansion which pays 301. or 401.—bears the impress of the tux on its front and on its back; from its cellars to its very roof; from its reception-rooms to its smallest offices—from its general plan to its most casual appendage=. An enormous amount of mischief is done every year in the structure of houses, which, once built, do not easily admit of alteration. Every year, too, a considerable number of old houses are de stroyed, simply because the window-tax renders it expensive to inhabit and impossible to let them. But, besides these constant reasons for a yearly di,cussion of the subject, there happens to be a species of window-tax crisis at this moment. We profess to be inaugurating a great sanitary reform. By the abolition of the glass duty, and now of the brick duty, as well as by the reduction of the timber duties, we are giving great encouragement to building; and this we are doing on sanitary grounds. Further, some important in quiries are in progress, and some important experiments have been recently made, on the best mode of lodging the operative classes. From them it appears that the window-tax has presented, and does still present, the most serious obstacle to the best form of dwellings for the poor. In fact, the pressure of the tax is so great that it threate )s to suspend further operations; and the best, the most rational, and the most successful act of benevolence attempted of late years, is almost pro hibited, not so much by the necessity of contributing to the revenue, as by the mode in which that contribution is levied. We might add, that some valuable discoveries and improvements have been lately made, which are likely to be comparatively unavailable so long as the windo w-tlx ties our hands. It is from these considerations that we gladly assist the prayer of the deputation, whose conference with the Chancellor of the Exchequer is repotted in another part of our columns. Sir Charles Wood's reply offers rather more encouragement than has been vouchsafed to some other deputations. " The question of the window duties," he says, " will receive the fullest consideration of her Majesty's Government." This is a pledge, and we have reason to believe that it is made in the hope of some substitute Leing found. Here, then, is our only chance of deliverance from a tax liable to many serious objections over and above its mere pecuniary pressure. We will give all publicity to the problem which for half a century has puzz'ed our financiers, and which once more taxes their ingenuity. " What form of house-tax or other tax will supply the place of the window- test, with out entailing worse inconveniences?" As the problem is exceedingly difficult, and its solution is for the hem fit of the public, it is but neural to expect that the public should assist in its solution. Were the Chancellor of the Exchequer to come forward to morrow with an ela borate scheme for the purpose, experience leads us te apprehend that he would find it attacked in detail, not only by everybody who happened nut to derive quite as much benefit as he desired from the scheme, but also by evers body who had some reason for wishing the scheme to feunder altogether. Fourteen years ago, when th e alternative was offered, the public deliterutely retained the window-tax and rejected the house -tax, net on the ground that a house-tux was essentially the worse tax of the two, but because it was thought to be unfairly le• vied, and, moreover. not eery capable of a fairer distri bution. Were Sir Charles, however, to brieg forward a new and improvei scheme, we see little reason to hope that it would escape the oppositiou which proved fatal to the • house-tax actually levied for maey years till 1836. Indeed, it is out of all reason to expect that any paper scheme should at once be more mature and ready fir working than a scheme long iu practice, and frequently amended. We repeat, then, that if the public wishes to repeal the win dow-tax, it must do something more than hold meet ings and send deputations ; it inust suggest a substitute, the only possible substitute being some form of house tax. It will, perhaps, be said, that it is tee business of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to find taxes and of the public to get rid of them. We do not, however, admit that distribution of labour. The interest of both par ties is the same, viz., to provide for the proper expen• diture of the nation by the best and easiest meths. There can be little doubt as to the conditions of the problem before us. The odiousness of the window-tax is not so much its actual burden as its interference with the comfort, the health, and the architectural effect of our houses. We must not, then, expect 'to pay less for our houses, excepting where a principle of exemption has been established, but, as yet, unequally applied. There are cases where the window-tax ought to be amended, and where consequently a house-tax, allowing the name exemptions, ought to be qualified also. For example, it the inns of court and the college; and halls at Oxford and Cambridge pay a mitigated window-tax on the distinct sets of chambers, surely the buildings recently opened for the occupation of poor families near St. Pancras Old Church, and other similar establishments, ought not to pay the higher rates, mount ing up, as they do, to an extravagant sum. Something too must be said for private houses let in lodgings, the keeping of such houses being a species of tra le, and the number of windows in them being out of proportion with their value or class. These grounds of excep tion equally hold good, whether the tax is on the windows or on the house itself. Except in much cases as above, we must deprecate all attempts to get rid of taxation under the cover of a just re pugnance to the particular shape of the pre sent tax. The substitute must not be a tax on the windows, the doors, the chimneys, the ca pacity, or the measurement of the house, but simply on its value for letting as a residence. So, at least, it appears to us. If any attempt is made to in clude houses of business in the tax to a greater extent than they are included in the operation of the window tax, we auticipet, an active and successful opposition. The rule of the letting value, we are aware, s not of easy and universal application. It will have to be modi fied. The case of first-class mansions in the country is a special case, for which a special rule must be found. For example, it would be impossible to find a tenant for Chatsworth-house on any terms whatever, so that its letting value is nil, while a valuation with reference to its cost, or its scale, would go into the other extreme. Such houses, however, are treated exceptionally under the present window-tax; and might be, also, under a house-tax. We see no insuperable difficulty in the problem before us, and so we confidently commit it to the ingenuity of those persons who are really anxious to get rot of a roost incoevenit nt tax without injury to the revenue and ci edit of the nation.—l imes.

Oatmeal has likewise continued in fair request at late rates. Influenced probably by contrary winds, the imports into Liverpool from abroad are on a less ex tensive scale than for several weeks past, consisting only of 8,768 quarters of wheat and 5,448 quarters of Indian corn, and from Ireland the arrivals are on a very moderate scale, while from our own coast the supplies are exceedingly light.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, April 27. (Before Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS.) Gustavus Vaughan Brooke applied, under the Protec tion Act, on his interim order. He was opposed by Messrs. Nathan, the theatrical dress vendors, and a butcher named Bloomfield. Th e debts amounted t-, 5301., of which nearly 2001. were owing to Messrs. Nathan for the hire of dresses. Mr. Brooke attributed his insolvency to having been suddenly thrown out of an engagement with Mr. Watts to perform at the Olympic Theatre. He was to have received 600/, but after performing five weeks the theatre was closed. He was for a long time out of em ployment, but was now expecting another engagem‘nt. He had no theatrical dresses or other property to give up. He was a single man, but had bad gr eat expenses. He was surprised to find Messrs. Nathan's debt so large; he considered it exorbitant, and that .50/. would have been sufficient for the dresses he had hired. He did not sup pose that they could have been worth more than 40/, as they were only made up for show. His engagement at the Olympic Theatre this year began on the 4th of February, and the theatre was closed in five weeks afterwards. Mr. Commissioner PUILLIPS observed that it was a matter of public notor i ety howit closed, as appeared from the police repo r ts. Mr. SARGOOD said the subject referred to by the Learned Commissioner was a recent aff a i r . T he closing of the theatre had nothing to do with the Globe office. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS—Why did it close so suddenly? The insolvent said Mr. Watts was taken up on acharge of embezzlement. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS—That is what I said. We can't shut our eyes to what is going on. The insolvent, referring to the subject respecting Mr. Watts, sate, " I had nothing to do with it." Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS—Of course not, but was not the theatre closed in consequence of his arrest on a charge of Embezzlement? Insolvent—lt was, Sir. His examination was continued, and he stated that he had acted at the theatre for four weeks. The rate of salary by the contract was 251. a week. Mr. Watts had paid him 1231., and a sum of 60/. on account of the con tract. Ile had got money in advance, upwards of 1001, to pay Mr. Nathan's first action. Ho hail every reason to believe that the contract with Mr. Watts was at an end. He did not take advantage of it and engage him self elsewhere. At present he was out of an Engage ment. He bad had no engagement since the closing of the theatre until the last fortnight. He had an engagement at The Marylebone Theatre ,on certain terms—to share after the expenses. He entered into the engagement - -_-_,~ A...F.1.P,, • ~•••• WORCESTER, APRIL 27.—Fine reasonable jin:iy nuing, and th e grow i ng croim looking exec'eutle'vo have a tendency t o k eep d o w n prices, and al tbe t q iote any adva nce , b us i ness is more firm.
