Branch ;Miran Dorcilester, to direct these two large streams of traffic; by one main channel, through a populous and thriving district to eter. This Railway will effect a more direct communication betm - een the West of Eagiaatl and the Metropolis, and supply Railway communi cation to a country hitherto 'unoccupied, and feria all uninterrupted chain of Railway by the Coast, from Dover to the Land's End. hi addition to . these immediate advantages, application is in tanded to Inc made in the ensuing Session, Ibr a Line ffem Basim; - - stoke to Salisbury and Yeovil, which will still further very consider ; ably diminish the distance between Exeter and London.

Berne merely demanded that the question should be referred to a Committee, without entering into the merits of the question. The Deputy for Lucerne made a long and violent speech in support of its decision in favour of the Jesuits and against the free corps. The debate was adjourned to Monday, the 10th instant, to hear the Deputies of Argau, Thurgovia , Vaud, Valais, Tessino, Neufel:kel, Geneva, and Zurich Some of the Swiss journals state that the Provisional Government of Vaud has demanded of that of the Valais explanations on the subject of its having called out three battalions. The Council of State of the Valais has replied, that this armament was rendered necessary by the provocations of the Valaisian refugees, who an nounced an attack, and by an erroneous account of con siderable armaments in the district of Aigle. It is added, that these troops will march through Martigny, and that they will be disbanded as soon as circumstances will permit. Madrid journuls of the 4th have been received. They contain no fresh intelligence. The Three per Cents. closed: on that day on the Madrid Bourse at 34 9-16 (60 days) ; the Five per Cents., 25* (60 days); Coupons, 27i (60 days); and the Debt without Interest at 1.1 (60 days), with premium. In the French Chamber of Deputies on Monday the order of the day for passing the Pensions Bill was read, when a ballot was called for, as on Saturday. On that occasion there was a vast majority against the Bill, as nearly all the Ministerial party had absented themselves, but as the number present was not sufficient to make a House, the vote fell to the ground. On Monday there was a full attendance, and when the numbers were taken there appeared for the Bill 188, and against it 201 ; majority against the Bill, 13. The Bill was introduced by the Government, but considerable alteration had been made in Committee, and the Conservative party in consequence, it was said, became indifferent on the question, and some of them still kept away. It appears the Cabinet did not attach much importance to the Bill ; but still, says the Journal des Debats, before the ballot of Monday had taken place, " it would be deeply to be regretted if it were to be lost through a negligence that would be totally inexcusable." The National seizes the opportunity of pointing out the powerless state of the Ministry. " The amendinend," says that journal, "relating to the length of service of law functionaries, and their time of contributing to the pension fund, having been adopted by the Chamber against the wish of the Government, the Conservatives found nothing better than to cause the Bill to fall to the ground, by abstaining from voting, and rendering the ballet null. The Chamber is divided into two nearly equal parts. The number, of the Members pre sent scarcely exceeds 220, and 230 are ne cessary to render a ballot valid. It depends, there fore, on the minority, not to have good laws passed, but to prevent the adoption of bad ones by the Ministry. That would be, besides, the last and best means of rendering apparent to all a truth which com mences to be pretty generally comprehended—that there is no longer in reality amongst us any Government, any regular authorities, and that we should be in a veritable anarchy, if the good sense and love of order implanted in the heart of the nation, did not hold the place of the authority which is everywhere wanting." After this Bill had been disposed of; M. REMUSAT brought forward his motion for declaring certain public offices incompa tible with the functions of a Member of Parlia ment. M. GUIZOT opposed the 'notion, not only be cause the proposed measure was defective in itself, but because it was contrary to the institutions and in terests of the country. He had no objection, however, to the discussion of the motion, for he had no doubt that discussion would open the eyes of Members and make them reject it. M. DUPIN, who had previously voted against a similar proposition, supported the motion, and gave as a reason for changing his opinion, the recent dismissal of public functionaries on account of their votes. It was then resolved, without a division, that the proposition should be taken into consideration. The illontieu7 contains a royal ordunnance on the re port of the Minister of Justice and Public Worship, against the pastoral letter issued at Lyons on the 21st November, 1844, by Cardinal DE BONALD, Archbishop of Lyons. It is in these words :—" Our Council of State having been heard, we have ordained and do ordain as follows :—Art. 1. There is alms in the pastoral letter issued at Lyons, on the 21st November, 1844, by the Cardinal Axchbishop of LYONS. The said pastoral letter is and shall remain suppressed.—Art. 2. Our Keeper of the Seals, Minister - of Justice and Public Worship, is charged with the execution of this present ordonnanee, which shall be inserted in the Bullain des Lois. Given at the Palace of the Tuileries, this 9th March, 1845." This ordounance is signed by the KING, and counter-signed by the Minister of Justice and Public Worship. The Armoricain of Brest announces the speedy de parture of Admiral DuPETIT:TuouAns from Paris, on a mission to the Mocambique Channel and the coasts of Madagascar. . No business of consequence was done in the Funds on Monday, but a great deal in railway shares, some of which had suddenly declined, owing to a wish on the part of some to realise profits. Tho fall had taken place chiefly in Orleans, Rouen; Havre, and Avignon. (Meal's at first rose t 1,435 f., and fell to 1,360 f .; R ouen rose t o 1,250 f., and closed at 1,160 f.; Havre, 1,002 f. 50 c. , an d closed at 965 f.; Avignon, 1,210 f., and closed at I,loof.

His Honour also or dered the Bank to pay the whole of the costs of the suit. (Before the Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) ELLICE V. GOODSON. The arguments in this part-heard case were concluded to day, with the exception of the reply; and, i n consequence o f the absence of Sir Th o mas Wilde, his Honour ordered the case to stand over till the Saturday before the . first day of Easter Term, upon the understanding that on that day either Sir Thomas Wilde, Mr. Bethel], or Mr. Heathfield, would reply. (Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRASI.) The further arguments in the part-heard case of Mayhew v. Edmonds occupied his Honour the whole morning. SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary Pow En. ) CHURCHILL V. KING. This was an action brought by Mr. Churchill, house- agent, Castle -street, Holborn, against Mr. King, clerk to Mr. Sylvester, attorney, Dover-road, Borough, to recover 10/ 10s., on a bill of exchange, drawn by a Mr. Hyam, and alleged to have been accepted by the defendant. The bill, on pre sentation for payment, being dishonoured, the holder insti tuted proceedings to recover the amount. Mr. TEMPLE, who appeared for the plaintiff, called Mr. Kinuing, a respectable accountant, to prove the handwriting, which the latter swore distinctly to. Mr. King, who conducted his own case, advanced in defence the plea that he had never accepted the bill in question, and called a number of witnesses to prove that r the signature to the acceptanee was not in his hand-writing. After a short consultation the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount of the bill, with inteiest, 10/. 13s. 6d. in all. The defendant then asked if the officers of the Court would be allowed to impound the bill in order to ensure its produc tion at the Central Criminal Court in a new trial ? The SECONDARY intimated that he had ao power to do so. The defendant next wished to move for a new trial, on the ground of the verdict being against evidence. This the SECONEPARY overruled, and said he was perfectly satisfied with the verdict of the jury. Mr. King then withdrew, expressing himself very much displeased with the result. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Before the ASSISTAXT JUDGE and a full t lench of Ma, gistrat es ) A powerful and athletic-looking man, named William Gatehouse, was indicted for a most savage and brutal assault upon a police-constable, named Thomas Cooke, by which his life was seriously endangered. It appeared that a person, named White, was given into the constable's custody upon a Charge of indecent a:lunit, when the prisoner, who is an acquaintance of his, attempted to rescue him, and in so doing knocked him down and kicked him about the lower part of his person, about his head, and on the body so dreadfully, that he became totally insensible. Medical evidence was adduced to show that owing to the injuries he received he was for some time unable to attend to his duty, indeed during part of this time his life was despaired of. _ The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and evidez .ce was brought forward t o s h ow t h a t pr i soner h a d been twice ; before convicted of violent assaults upon the police. Mr. DOANE, who appeared as his counsel, raised :a point that the constable acted illegally in the first instance, and the Learned Judge said he should respite judgment until th e first day of next session, in order that he might consider the ob jection. The grand jury came into Court and announced tl tat . lhey had got through all the indictments which had been pi -efer, - ed at the present session, when the Learned Assistant Judge discharged them after thanking them for their promptitude and attention. THE WOOD PAVEMENT. The inhabitants of Leadenhall-street have petitioned, and obtained leave, to have the wooden pavement removed and granite laid do vill trtninss LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 1345. The Lords met at Five o'clock, and sat only for a few minutes. On the motion of the Earl of CADOGAN, certain re turns relating to the proceedings of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners were ordered to be laid on the table. A petition on the subject of the Scotch Currency was presented by the Earl of ROSEBERY. The Stamp Duties Assimilation Bill was read a second time. Several other Bills were forwarded a stage, and their Lordship; adjourned. The Iloa4 a of Commons met at Twelve. The Lands Clauses Consolidation Bill passed through Committee, and was ordered to be read a third time on Thursday. Mr. CARDWELL brought up the Sugar Ditties Bill, which was read a first time. The House then resolved itself into Committee on the Railway Clauses Consolidation Bill. Oa clause 66 being proposed, enforcing Companies to use engines, for the conveyance of passengers and goods, Mr. STANSFIELD proposed, as an amendment, that the clause, instead of being merely permissive, should be compulsory. After a short discussion, the Committee divided, when there appeared—For the amendment, 17; Against it, 31 ; Majority for the clause, 14. Clauses up to 69, inclusive, were then agreed to, when the House re sumed, and the Chairman having reported progress, asked leave to sit again on Thursday. The House then adjourned to Five o'clock. When the House re-assembled, Sir R. PEEL gave notice that he would, on Thursday next, move that the House do adjourn from Thursday the 20th instant, to the Monday week following. After a short conversation on the subject of the nego tiations of Mr. MANDEVILLE with the Governments of Buenos Ayres and Monte Video, Mr. HumE moved for certain returns relating to army pensioners, which were granted. Mr. LABOUCIIERE then complained that the Sugar Duties Bill had been forwarded a stage at the morning sitting; ar.d Sir R. PEEL, admitted that it occurred through inad vertence, and gave a pledge that, in future, no Money Bill should be taken at a morning sitting without notice. Mr. SomEs then moved for " Copies of all corre spondence between the Colonial-office and the Governor of New Zealand respecting the issue of debentures, and the rendering them a legal tender. Of all corre spondence between the same respecting the taxes pro posed in the Legislative Council of that colony. Of all correspondence between the same respecting recent out rages by the natives in the Bay of Islands, and the abolition of the custom-house of that district. Of all correspondence respecting the measures taken by the Governor of New Zealand to fulfil Lord Stanley's agreement of the 12th May, 1843, respecting the grant of a conditional title to the lands of the New Zealand Company. Of all correspondence res specting the disallowance by the Governor (4' New Zealand of any awards made by the Commissioner of Land Claims respecting the Company's lands. Of all correspondence relating to a proclamation issued by the Governor of New Zealand allowing the sale of lands by the natives at a less price than that fixed by the Act of 5 and 6 Vic., c. 36." Mr. AGLIONUY, in seconding the motion, entered into a detail of the grievances under which the New Zea land colonists laboured, and stated that, in his opinion, the Colonial-office, as at present constituted, was utterly incompetent to attend properly to the affairs of our numerous colonies. Mr. G. W. HOPE complained of the conduct of the Hon. Member for Cockermouth, and said that all the information which he required had been at his com mand a fortnight ago, and moved as an amendment, that the whole of the papers should be produced. Mr. C. BULLER said the :House was in possession of no information whatever on the subject, and, therefore, it WAi perfectly ludicrous for the Under-Secretary for the Colonies to say that the information might have been obtained a fortnight ago. He complained, not only of the ill-usage of New Zealand, but of all the colonies ; of the utter ignorance—the gross, the utter ignorance of every person connected with the Colonies—of the colonists themselves, from the Governor up to the very head of the colonial-office himself. Governor FITZROY had mismanaged the colony in such a manner as to show his utter incompetency for the onerous position which he held. He was not merely in competent, but was positively mischievous and dangerous. The Government ought to have recalled that very foolish man, Captain FITZROY, long since, and their duty was to send out a keeper for Captain FITZROY, and to send out his successor at the same time. Colonel TREVOR said it was unjust to assail Captain FITZROY in his absence. He should not have risen had not Captain FITZROY been his relative. Colonel WOOD, as a connection of Captain FITZROY, felt bound to protest against the attack which had been made upon him. Sir W. JA3IES also eulogized Captain FITZROY. Sir CHARLES NAPIER admitted that Captain FITZ ROY was a very clever officer, but for all that he might make a precious bad Governor. The Government made a grand mistake when they sent Captain FITZROY to govern New Zealand. He would have made a much better Chancellor of the Exchequer Nevertheless, he was a gallant officer; but instead of shaking hands with the murderers of Captain WAKE FIELD, he ought to have executed them. Sir U. PEEL besought the House to suspend its judg ment upon the conduct of Captain FITZROY until they had certain information on which to proceed. Captain FITZROY had certainly omitted to forward them certain information, but he would ask the House whether it was not within the range of protability that this omis sion had been occasioned by some accident or other Whenever a specific motion should be made on the sub ject, he should be prepared to vindicate the conduct of the Government. Mr. MANCLES, in supporting the motion, said that he had heard the conduct of Captain FITZROY strongly up held by the Right Hon. Baronet, on which Sir R. PEEL said, across the table, in a very emphatic Manner, " Certainly not." Mr. MINGLES continued to - observe, that whatever consideration Captain FITZROY ought to be entitled to on account of his distance from the Government, the colonists were entitled to the same consideration, and they had suffered severely for his con duct. He had been sent out by Lord STANLEY to explain away the agreement which had been entered into between the colonists and Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and to bring the colony under the iron-foot of the Colonial-office. Had the Company been aware of the instructions given by Lord STANLEY to Captain FITZROY, they would at once have thrown up the affair, and have resigned themselves to the inevitable loss en tailed upon them by those instructions. Sir R. INcus defended the conduct of Capt. FITZROY. The motion was then agreed to with a verbal amend mend moved by Mr. HOPE. Mr. S. CRAWFORD then rose to call the attention of the House to the ptition from the rate-payers and inha bitants of Rochdale (presented February 25), against the introduction of the new poor-law into their district; and moved, " That the petitioners be heard at the bar of the House, in support of the allegations contained in that petition." Mr. FERRAN!) supported the motion, which was op posed by Sir J. GRAHAM. After some observations by several lion. Members, the House divided, when there appeared, for the motion, 16; against it, 59; majority against it, 43. The House then adjourned at One o'clock. The debate raised in the House of Commons, on Monday night, by Mr. CHARLES BULLER'S declaratory motion—" That the circumstances under which the re newal of the income-tax is at present proposed are such as to render it extremely improbable that Parliament will have the power of dispensing with its continuance at the end of three years ; and that it is therefore the duty of the House to take care that the tax be imposed in a form in which its operation shall be less unequal and inquisitorial than it now is "—was one of the most ho portant which has yet been taken on this great question• Thanks to the ability and ingenuity with which Mr• BULLER intrt ducal his motion, the true statement of this case between the Premier and the public was fairly brought before the House of Commons. The singular hardihood with which Sir ROBERT PEEL has, over and again, attempted to persuade the people who are to pay the income and property-tax that they lose no more by its imposition than what is made up to them in what they gain through his tariff, and this year's reductions of duties, has often excited our astonishment. Mr. BULLER may claim the merit of having so completely unmasked and anatomized this pretext, that we suspect it will scarcely be hazarded again this session. There is, in truth, no more real equation between the burden of the income-tax and the benefits of the tariff, than there is between the total amount of anonymous remittances to Chancellors of the Exchequer of 501. Bank of England notes, " like angels' visits, few and far between," and the stupendous capital of the national debt, towards the re duction of which they are expressly desired to be applied. This was an absurdity palpable enough, and Mr. BULLER made the most of it. But there was a better joke behind. Some gentlemen on the Opposition benches had designated the scheme, announced by the Premier on the 14th of February, as the "poor man's budget." There is nothing like a good set name to induce people who have not closely looked into a given plan to concur in your opinion of it. We have already borne testimony to the intrinsic merits, and they were neither few nor slight, of that financial statement. But as to its being the " poor man's budget," Mr. BULLER, whose views on this point were frankly and ably sustained by Sir H. 11. Isionrs, has permanently demolished, we fear, its every shadow of such a title. In testing the amount of be nefit which a poor couple, for example, would derive from such fiscal reductions as that proposed on the duty on raw cotton, Mr. BULLER was eminently effective and amusing, without exceeding the fair limits of an argu ment raised, undoubtedly, on au extreme case. Thu result of his calculation was to show, that while the man might gain, say lid. on the cost of a complete fustian suit, and the woman another lid. on the cost of two cotton gowns, per annum, they would be paying, on a moderate computation of their yearly consumption of sugar, threepence per month to the West India pro prietor under the operation of the Premier's un fortunate scale of altered sugar duties. I❑ fine, he established a strong case to show that the apprehensions suggested by the terms of his motion were well warranted ; that there had been no sufficient previous inquiry into the present con dition of our taxation, so as either to afford a guarantee against the continuance of the income tax beyond this assumed period of three years, or to render its operation less oppressive and inqui3ito, rial than it now is. If the lion. Member for Liskeard was warranted in his view of the case, namely—that, whilst the Premier proposed to remit a specific amount of certain duties, his other proposition was virtually to continue the income-tax for ever—we are compelled to admit that they who ought to represent the interests of their countrymen at large are making themselves parties to a most ►candalous and improvident bargain. If they who vote with the Minister in his majorities on the income-tax really consider that it is a tax which is to be a permanent one, or which is to endure even for the term of three years doubled, they are dishonest trustees. They know that the parties by whom they have been deputed to act have never anticipated any such protraction of this war impost. They know that the public would have in structed them to kick the proposition out of the House on the first evening of its introduction had it been ac companied by any such condition fairly stated ; and we must reluctantly confess that our own fears are strongly aroused by the tone assumed on both sides of the House throughout the whole current of the debate. It was a, statesmanlike objection which Mr. BULLER took to the danger of adopting, in time of peace, the extreme limit to which the in inciple of direct taxation can be pushed in time of war—thus proclaiming to the world the extent to which the extra ordinary resources of our taxation had been drawn upon before the occurrence of that extraordinary exigency for which they should have been sacredly reserved. But we are more alarmed by the tacit assent ' which the hypothesis of intended permanency, or, at any rate, of protracted duration to the income-tax, received in suc ;:essionfrom the speeches of the Chancellor of the Exche qu'er, Lord HOWICK, Sir. B. INGLIS, Mr. HuME, and Sir R. PEEL himself. We, , have not forgotten the answ er which the Premier gave on a former occasion to Mr. WANI.EY'S very reasonable question, " Whether, at the expiration of the three years the income-tax would be further continued?" "It would be time enough," quoth Sir ROBERT, "to answer that question when the three years bad expired." Now we deny this off-hand assertion. The House has already had abundant experience of this sort of tactics in the Pre mier's plans of fiscal operations. Whether it be a pro position connected with the Currency question, or the Bank Charter, or the income-tax, his smartness is shown in Lever allowing those who are opposed to him any opportunities of maturely considering the measures he has propounded, or of preparing their objections, or of organising their resistance to it. This has been made the subject of repeated and well-ground: .d corn • plaint during the present session; as it was towards the conclusion of the last. For the Chancellor of the Ex• chequer,therefore, to have complained on Monday night that Mr. BULLER was coming forward " at the eleventh hour" with his objections to theincome•tax, was a reproof which came with singular bad gr:ioe on such a question from any member of her MAJESTY'S Government. We think that Sir It. PEEL is amenable to a charge of bad faith tin his mode of unfairly pressing on the decision— we mean the vote of his Ministerial majority—on the continuance of this odious tax ; as well as to the impu tation of extreme rashness and impolicy, in resorting at all to the principle of an income-tax (our exception is not to a property-tax), at so advanced a period of peace, for supplementing a deficient revenue. After the inti mations elicited on Monday night as to the possible perpetuity of this tax, and the cold discouragement with which :Sir R. H. ImiLts's equitable proposition in favour of small ineomes was received, we can no longer give to the Government proposal the benefit of any doubts we might have formerly entertained upon it. It is vicious in principle, cruelly and clumsily unequal in 'ipportionment, light upon the rich, heavy upon the poor, inquisitorial in its levy, irritating in its management, wasteful in its anticipation of resources, and odious in all its associations and precedents. By the arrival of the Peninsular and Ori►antal Com pany's steamer Pacha, we have accounts from Gibraltar to the,lst, and Lisbon to the:sth inst., and regmt to state that news had been received at the former plaoe of the death of Mr. HAY, British Consul at Tangiers. He bad been ill for only a few days. At Lisbon a law had been introduced into the Cortes for the re construction of the Council of State. The. receipts at the Custom-house for the month of Februiviry bad fallen off considerably. There is no news fi •om the other ports at which the steamer touched. The voyage had been long and boisterous. From the ltime the Pacha left Gibraltar till her arrival here, she experi- Paced nothing but the most tempestuous weatlaper. On the Bth and 9th she .could not make more theta three miles an hour. We have no accounts from Zurich later than the 6th instant., but some details are given in the papers re specting the appointment of the Committee on t las. ques tion relative to the Jesuits, and the views takers by the different Deputies, which are not without intere4. The Committee Las been appointed, and consists od seven members. 'Only thirteen out of the twenty-foul• Depu_ ties voted, viz., Zurich, Berne, Glaris, Soleure, Schaff hausen, St. Gall, Argau, Thurgau, Grisons, Vaad, Tes sin°, Neuchatel, Geneva. The demi-cantons of Bale and Appenzell neutralised each other. The rest of tb e can tons abstained from voting. All the Committee .except one were named at the first ballot. M. MOUSON, %of Zu rich, had 11 votes ; M. NEUHAUS, of Berne, Y.l ; M. MUNTZIG ER, of Soleure, 9; M. KERN, of Thurgam, 8; M. NEFF, of Saint Gall, 8 ; M. FREY, of Pale-Town, ; DRUEY, of Vaud, 10. From this it will be seen that the majority of the Committee belongs to the Radice? party. After the nomination of the Committee the question of the free corps was opened. Fourteen Deputies detailed their instructions. Lucerne, Uri, Schwytz, Unterwald, Zug, and Fribourg, fully approve of the repressive mea sures proposed by the Vorort ; Saint Gall, Grisons, and Appenaell, do the same, with the exception of certain MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN'-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY The supply of Wheat of home produce on sale, was tole rably good. The best parcels sold freely, other kinds slowly, at previous figures.

The West India accounts, per Tay steamer, have excited considerable regret as regards 'the awful conflagration at Barbadoei, from which it will be long ere the colony recovers. The weather had been rather tempestuous in several of the islands, but we hear of no decided damage either to property on shore or the crops, although, in many instances, the season was not so favourable for the latter as could be wished. The British Guiana Bank bad declared a dividend of 4 per cent. only—not a very brilliant illustration of the profitableness of colonial banking. FroM Honduras we are advised that political feeling ran high there, and was in some cases rather threatening. The news from Mexico confirms the previous intelligence of Santa Anna's capture. It is satisfactory to find that the new Government has sent forward a small remittance for the divi dends, and we hope it is a sort of " eat nest" that they will speedily attend to their foreign obligations. A new article of import has just been introduced into the English market from Australia, viz., candied peaches. This delicious fruit seems to have been brought to great perfection by the Sydney house of Cooke and Staddou, and may be come of some importance hereafter, as another means of re• mittance, which, added to many new minor sources the colonists are opening, will tend to increase the activity and advantage of the trade with the mother country. Messrs. Keeling and Hunt will, by holding a public sale, at once solve the question as to whether this new article of import will pay. There is rather less firmness in the Public Securities, owing to the majority against the French Ministers, but no decided effect is visible, and the Unfunded Debt has even improved again, being 655. to 675. premium.

Yesterday the adjourned fight between these celebrated bruisers came off. It may be remembered these pugilists contended a short time since, which terminated in a drawn battle ; the match was subsequently renewed. The weight of the men was limited to 9st. 71b., and they went to scale at Owen Swift's, on Monday. In betting sto 4 were freely laid on Jordan ; his opponent having lost the sight of one eye his chance of success was considered less certain. A special train was engaged on the Brit;liton railway for the convey ance of the combatants and their friends, and Horley common was the locality selected for the contest ; and all parties having duly arrived, the necessary prelimi naries were arranged and a ring was formed. At this time the spectators might be computed at 2,000. The men stripped, and were brought into the ring—Sambo under the protection of Jeni Turner and Driscoll, and Jordan was se conded by Walker and Fuller. The pugilists shook hands, and putting themselves into attitude, commenced war. Both men appeared determined on mischief, and displayed great courage and science, and one hour was occupied without any visible change on either side. When 50 rounds had been fought, the betting was in favour of Sambo. IL may be here observed that Jordan, having exceeded the stipulated weight, he was compelled to fight without shoes, his opponent fighting with spiked shoes, and who availed himself of treading on the feet of Jordan, and mutilating them exceedingly, and Si. was offered by the friends of Jordan to be permitted to fight in shoes, but was not accepted. They continued the contest for two more hours ; at this time eighty-seven rounds had been fought, and it was now manifest that Sambo was in the more favourable position as to victory. They kept up the contest—both displaying great game ; Sambo cor.ti nuing to thrust the spikes of his shoes into the feet of his antagonist at every opportunity, notwithstanding the unanimous groans of the spectators. Frequent appeals were made to the umpires, but who decided it fair, and within the rules of boxing. The fight was kept up for three hours and fortpseven minutes, during which time 107 rounds were contested, when Jordan, from the great punishment received from. Sambo, was compelled to yield in his favour, and the sponge was thrown up, and Sambo came off the winner. The science of both men was much admired, and the courage of Jordan was considered almost unprecedented. OLYMPIC THEATRE.—Shalcspeare's tragedy of Othello was presented at this establishment on Saturday evening for the purpose of affording Mr. Alfred Ormonde an opportunity_ of displaying his tragic powers in the part of Othello. His performance of this difficult character proved exceedingly satisfactory, and at the fall of the curtain he was summoned to receive the congratulations of a numerous and highly respectable audience. " A distinguished amateur of literary and colonial celebrity" enacted the part of lago, and was extremely well received. Miss Davenport proved a very interesting Desdemona, and Waldron acted Cassio well. HOOKER'S ARRIVAL AT NENVGATE.—lmmediately on the conclusion of the examination of Hocker before the magistrate he was removed to one of the cells in the rear of the Court. Shortly before two o'clock the prison van ar rived, to which the prisoner was conducted, being guarded by a strong body of police. The van then proceeded direct to ewgate, where it arrived a few minutes after two o'clock, and in a minute or so a number of people,collected around the prison door, for the purpose of seeing the prisoners come out, not knowing that Thomas Hocker was among them, One of the constables in charge of the van having delivered in the warrant, returned to the van and brought nut Thomas Hocker.• He exhibited great buoyancy of spirits, and leaped out of the van as if going to a merry-making instead of being about entering a prison. lie was laid hold of by each arm by two police-constables, and handed up the steps into the prison. On getting inside, the warrants of committal by the magistrate and the coroner were placed in the hands of the governor, and the name, age, and description of the pri soner, together with the nature of the crime with which he was harged, having been entered in the journal kept for that purpose, he was removed to a cell on the north side of the prison appropriated to untried prisoners. Here he was searched, and was plaCed under the surveillance of .one of the turnkeys. He exhibited the same indifference as he has hitherto done, entering freely into conversation, and offering his snuff-box to those willing to take snuff. He expressed a wish to be supplied with pens, ink, and paper, which was granted. The_ early hour at which the prisoner arrived at Newgate deprived,many of catching a glimpse at him, who, between five and six o'clock (the usual time the van arrives at Newgate) _thronged the vicinity of the prison. POST-OFFICE NOTICE.—The following notice was issued Yesterday (Tuesday) by command of the Postmaster- General :—" The Postmaster-General having concluded 'an agreement with the Government of the United States for the conveyance through its territory of the correspondence of Great Britain and Canada, the mails to and from Canada will in future be lauded and embarked at Boston, instead of at Halifax, as at present, and ill be conveyed between Boston and Montreal, in charge of a British officer appointed by the Postmaster-General.

No additional postage will be charged upon letters to and frrom Canada, in consequence of the transit rate which is to be paid to the United States Post-office ; but a charge of one halfpenny will be levied on the delivery of each newspaper, whether in the United Kingdom or in Canada.—March, 1845." EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION NEAR KINGSTON, SURREY.—One of the most extensive conflagrations that has • occurred for a considerable period near Kingston, took place on Monday night, on To'worth-common, Surrey, and which resulted in the destruction of from 20 to 30 acres of furze, the property of Messrs. Baker and Fuller. Some idea of the extent of the conflagration may be formed when it is stated that it was distinctly visible from Wandsworth, several miles distant, the inhabitants of which- quickly dispatched intelli gence of the outbreak to London, thinking that the calamity had happened near their own village. As soon as the news reached town, Mr. Henderson, the foreman of the brigade, started for the Ecene with an engine and four post-horses, and was followed by Mr. Conuorton, with 'the West of England engine. Upon reaching Wimbledon-common, however, they were met by a mounted police-constable, who explained to them the nature of the fire, and that they could render no assistance if they proceeded any further. They, in conse quence, turned back. For many hours the fire continued to throw its glare over the surrounding country. Fortunately, a road had been cut in two sides in which direction the wind blew, or the fire might have reached the contiguous planta tions. The origin of the outbreak is unknown. THE HOMCEOPATHIC SYSTEM.— Yesterday, an in quest was held before Mr. Wakley, M.P., at the Blue Room, Tavistock-street, Bedford-square, on the body of Henry Cardwell, a solicitor, whose death was alleged to have been caused by treatment under the homeopathic system of me dicine. Mr. Wakley, on commencing the inquiry, asked who made the post-mortem examination ? Dr. Hancock, who was present, said that he had examined the thorax and ab domen. Mr. Wakley said that it was not usual to make an examination without an order from the coroner. He had understood that many medical gentlemen of eminence had been present at the examination, and he was very much sur prised to find, when he saw the body, that the head had not been examined. In a case like the present, where the death was alleged to have been caused by improper practice, it was necessary that every part of the body should be strictly examined. Could Dr. Hancock state the cause of death ? Dr. Hancock said that there was hemorr hage from the bowels of the deceased. Mr. Wak ley—Of course you could not ascertain the extent of the hemorrhage, whether it was 4oz. or 41bs.? Dr. Hancock—Certainly not. Mr. Wakley said he should ad journ the inquiry until an examination of the head had been made, and the cause of death ascertained. He understood that a medical gentleman, named Curie, had at first treated the deceased under the homcepathic system, and that after wards Drs. Roots and Headland had been called in. Dr. Curie asked if he might be present at the examination ? Some reports had been circulated against him, and he was anxious to hay the inquiry followed up to the fullest extent. Mr. Wakley inquired whether Dr. Curie was a member of any medical institution in England ? Dr. Curie said he was not, but that he was educated In France, and had received his diploma there. The diploma was produced. Mr. Wakley said that he was not therefore a legal practitioner. An Eng lishman under the same circumstances would not be allowed to practise in Paris. However Dr. Curie could be present at the post mortem examination if he chose. The inquest was then adjourned until Friday next. THE CHURCH-YARD AND THE SMOKE NUISANCES. —Mr. Anderton is, very much to the satisfaction of the citizens in the crowded parts of London, about to propose to morrow, in the Court of Common Council, that peti tions be presented to both Houses of Parliament to pass an Act to regulate the interment of thk. dead in churches and church yards in large towns and cities, and prevent the violation of graves ; also to pass an Act to prevent nuisances arising from the smoke of steam-engines and furnaces in manufactories and buildings situate in and near the cities of London and Westminster, and steam boats on the river Thames.—Cordial unanimity is expected, SUMMARY Of NEB 6 AND Pubttt 44, ptntoit.
