CANS' PItOTECTION SOCIE tY. • The eleventh anniversary dinner of this body took pine( yesterday, at the White Conduit Houss, Pentonville. The cloth was laid for upwards of 800 members, and Mr. - Rouse, the spirited proprietor of the establishment, catered in his usual liberal style. The cloth having been removed, and Non Nobis Dom ine sung, The CHAIRMAN _gave "The Queen" and the other loyal toasts, which were reap,. , nded to with every mark of enthusiasm. - Mr. KINNERSLEY then proposed " Lord Montengle, the patron of the Society, and its other Parliamentary friends They had rendered essential services to the beer trade anti to the brewers of the metropolis, by coining forward at a time when they were hard besot by enemies. The trade had found that the nobhman he (Mr. Ktnnersley) had had the honour to name was ever easy of a'ecess, and at no period of his life did he turu a deaf ear to thsir representations. To Mr. War burton, to Mr. Hutne, as wail as to ether Hon. Mem bers. were they also inddited, because they, too, had strenuously- advocated the ititereste of the beersellers, and he was sure that the gentlemen around hint. would emsmber with gratitude 'he services rendered to their holy by these eminent individuals. The toast was drank wi: h acclimation. A comic song was then sung by Mr. Bruton. Mr. llrsuoe, the Secretary of the Society. then rose. He said that it had devolved upon him to propose a toast which, he was sure, would only require to be named to re • ceive the hearty sanction of every gentleman around the tables. He meant " Success to the Metropolitan New Publieans' Protection Society." He was called upon, by his office, to show a few reason* why those present should join with those who had already cowributed to bring the Society into a state of life and usefulness, in further. ing as far as might be in their power, the sphere of its operations ;. and he had to show, also, that this would be the wisest policy, because the more they did for the Society the greater. du-tire did they do to themselves — (Cheers)—and, in proving the usefulness of this Saciety, he must retrace a few yours to show the dawning of its usefulness, ere it arrived at its present strength. When the beer trade was first thrown open, the Legislature made a grievous mistake in not establishing some stan dard by which the eliginility of those entering it might be tested. They did not do so ; and. although this was a first greatstep towards free trade, the public were not alive to the important fact, and, consequently, it was un attended to. The trade had, indeed, been thrown open, but the beer-seller was crippled in every way by legis lative enactments ; he was daily and hourly subjected to. the • mtist rigid pains and penalties ; and hence arose the necessity , for some organisation like that which they were met that night to ce'ebrate. The Legislature 'spoke of further enactments ; but befs re the character of these could be - determined some years .did intervene, and in the interim they found un fledged legislators, who considered that any thing would be good enough for the Beerseller, introducing motion upon motion before the House ; one person proposing hat they should close at seven o'clock, another extend ing the hour to eight, and a third thinking that nine would be sufficiently early, until at last a sort of com• promise was entered into, that any hour no later than eleven would serve every purpose. Ultimately the matter was left in the hands of the magistracy. He should wish to speak with g reat respect of that hatly—a great deal had b ee n sa id ,1: an invasion of their pri vileges by beersellers, and he was aware of it, but. he was also well aware that the general magistracy ha( never lent themselves to any Wen pt to put down the beersellers as a body.—(Cheers.) When Mr. Patting ton - took it into his head to send round circulars to every magistrate, entreating his signature to a me morial, with the view of putting down this trade, not 500 out of 5,500 signed—(Leudehe, rs)—but with a per severance, which was certainly worthy of a better cause, the frmotirable Member did not slackrn in his all deavoura, for he gave notice of a Bid, which would in the . most material degree have injured them. But the Committee was prepared to meet him. They had as interview with the then Chancellor of the Ewe-aver ; end they personally or by letter visited every Mettibfr of Parliament then an town. They laid the facts of tse case before them, and when, to the cpestions put by these Members. they replied that they would be content with any ho irs of closing ; that they would be content with any regulations ; acid that they only wished that what the Leeislature already did to A—(the licensed vic tuallers) —they should also da to 11—(themselves.) Then the Members of the Legislature said, " Does the public require you ? ask them ; get what you can in the share of petitions, and apply again to Parliam• tit." They uses: their endeavours to get those p.-tutors subscribed, aid counter petitions were got up by their opponents. The: (the beersellers) alleged in their petitions, that good had been done by the trade in beer, inasmuch as agricul ture had been encouraged by the greater demand for barley ; and they alleged also that good had been done to manufactures, b. cause the manufacturing labourer could purchase the article at its lowest volue, and in its purest state. Well, their petitions, with the counter peti tion were presented to Parliatnentaind while to theirs were appended 22,600 signatures, that of their adversaries did not come within one-fifth of the number.—(Loud cheering.) The result was, that they obtained a . release from the magisterial hours of closing—(Cheers)— in cer tain parts of London, but in other quarters they were not so fortunate. The speaker then went on to detail the struggle the Committee maintained against a " double Dogberry" and the bench of magistrates in Surry; their employing Mr. Clarkson, who was not allowed to intro, duce- the matter in Court ; and, finally, their applica• thin to Lord - Normanby, then Secretary of State. That Minister was astonished that magisterial despotism could be carried so far; and the results which followed, proved that this isiterference, on the part of the Surry Bench, was the very best thing that could have happenkl to the beersellers, In 1839 the House of Commons passed a resolution that the licence for a beerseller should be. ae nually.s/. ss. This Was passed on the motion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. What did the Com mittee- do ? They prepared statements to show that the beersellers, a body of 35,000, actually paid a greater sun per annum' than the Lt uensed Victuallers, a much more powerful body, en dowed with greater privileges, did for their own licences. And again, in this case, what was the result ? The licences were reduced to 31. 3s. Why, were it but for this alone, the trade ought to owe the committee a debt of gratitude--(Great cheering). Then as regarded that - de based class—it class that were, that now, happily, were not—he meant common informers--(cheers)—the corns mittee had • been mainly instruttientel in put deg them down, because they bad put •it out of their power to intrude upon the brerseller, after the hour of elo,ing. with a plaasible store of :irk ness,-and a sieeessity.fer a drop of bier—thus making ti :e best feelings of one's nature a very ne tins to titre and loss 4,f li . 'eetice. These wretches he was glad to say were put down, and the duty, or the it, ceasity rather, or loeke jag., that the law was-not infringed Ivan was left to tf e nestropolitan police. The Secretary, after some remarks upon the manner in which the police had acted, while he stigmatised the conduct of individual members of that corps as most unworthy, at the same time ding justsee to theil• general efficiency, concluded by proposipg the toast amid vehement cheering. Mr. STALLWOOD proposed the " Public Press." Mr. Cox gave, " The Ladies." Mr. ASHLEY, the salicHr to the Saciety, in proposing chairman's health, took occasion to 'niter into a de tailed account ',t the proceeding:, at several of the peliee courts in the Metropolis, where members hail been sum moned, and had succeeded ii defoiting the false accusa tions of tbe informing parties. The leareed gentleman concluded by passing a high eulogtum upon the chairman for the great exertions he had trade in behalf of the Society. CHAIRMAN briefly returned thankt• Thanks were subs.eqw n ly vo!cd s ecretary, Mr. Bishop, and the party broke up only to a r trn ours to the Wit-room, where dancing w a s k e pt u p t ill a ) We need not . say that every thing passed 4(4 .the HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Lord PALMEItSTON presented a petition from a Mr. Copeland, praying that Parham-tit would inter:ere - 0 prevent the - use of propelling engines being placed at he tad of railway trains, a hich had been attendsd with much danger, particularly on the Eastern Counties Kailway. He (Lord Palmerston) concurred in the prayer of the petitioner, and thought the lives of pas sengers much endangered by the practice. He wou'd recommend directors of railways to have it stated upon the time tables handed to each passenger whether or no Chose propelling engines were used, and in the public newspape.rs, as travellers by railways were not in most astances aware aware of . the fact. The peti-- loner prayed that the Board of Trade woull interfere in these matters. He (Lord Pal-m rston) felt : - ..ontident that. Railwav Directors were themselves in most cases ignorant of the use of those prop-ding en -rifles, for to pursue such a course with a knowledge of the hazard attending it would be little less than cri minaltleari hear.) - Lord COURTEN AY brought up the rephrt of th e Oncinhittee of Group : X, which comprises the following Gills :-Eastern Counties (Ilertford and Biggleswade), i , lidland Railway Extension (Swinton and Lincoln), Vidland Railways Extension (Lincoln and Ely), and the York and North Midland and Doncaster Extension he Noble Lord said the decision of the Committ..e was that it was not des rable to proceed with the Bills during he present session. - Dr. BOWRING moved for the production of the Co lonia' Acc,tunrs, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed he motion, which was negatived without a division. Mr. C. I'. VII, 1.1 ERRS wished to ask the Right Ron. Gentleman the Home Secretary whether he in ,nded further to pursue th.- proceedings respecting Mr. Briscoe, a magistrate of South Stattadshire, who had leen reprimanded. his reason for asking the question was because another magistrate of the same name, resid• rig in the same district, had been confounded with this Vlr. Briscoe, owing to the ChriAian name of the offend ng magistrate not hasjrig been mentioned in the report. Sir J. GRAHAM said, having written his opinion fully in a letter-tolhe, LordLieutenaut of the. county. ind expressed his dislike at the conduct. of Mr. Briscoe, he did not think it necessary to pursue the matter *urther under such circum , tances. • MEDICAL REGULATIONS. Mr. WAKLEY sai-I. that in - th — e - a - h - s;c - e - e -. 4 other busi- ness .he would beg ►o move for a return of the number of individuals who had applied for certificates to the College of Surgeons, and those to whom these certificates had been granted.—The motion was agreed to. AUSTRALIA. Mr. HOPE said that as ether business of apparently zreater importance was delayed, he would move that :eave be given to bring in a Bill for rendering th, waste lands of Australia more productive. He did not snticipated any objection viould be made to the Bill, but did not anticip tte that it would pass ; but he thought .hat the recess would give ample opportunity for consi lcring its provision, and enabling the Government to take *uch measures as would be for the benefit of the colony. Captai:: PECHELL had not the slightest objection to he Government taking measures for the improvement of the colony, and he thought that the best means of doing that would be by bringing the waste lands into cul tivation. ` Mr. AGLIONBY thought that this arrangement would tend to relieve the minds of the friends of those who had an interest in the Australian Colonies. IRELAND TURNPIKE BILL.

(LEFT SITTIN3.) LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—The allegations contained in the petition of one " Henry Bruce, setting forth that the following names of subscribers to the London and York Railway, is in re. speet of the several names and addresses false and fictitious," as promulgated in your valuable journal of the 6th inst., comprising my name—allow We to say, that when I paid the deposit, and signed the deed, my address was co•incident with those set forth, as such had been for nine years previous, ride any commercial directory to the present period. I hope it is not on account of the error which I proved before the Committee of Group X,-in the levels of the Tottenham and Farringdon Line, that I am selected as an object of attack. Mr. Bruce may be the Vice- Chairman of the Cambridge and Lincoln Line, the pre amble of which shared a mutual fate with that which I opposed, that 1,. in my profes.sional capacity, should be thus attacked. I therefore trust that e qual publicity will be given to this repudiation of an assertion so wantonly inflicted on,—Sir, your obedient Servant, JOHN DAVIS PAINE. Lincoln's Inn-fields, August 7, 1845.

On my being called before the respective Committees, however, the agents for Mr.. Bruce, the petitionlr, en. tirely and at once abandoned that clause of his petition which had reference to me, Mr. Parkes, for Mr. Bruce, dmitting that there was not the shadow of a charge against-me. Mr. Parkes further explained that Air. Bruce had never intended that my name should appear in the petition ; that my name had been transferred from some private list into the public petition by an oversight; , and that when Mr. Bruce read his petition previously to placing it in the handS of a Member for presentation, he did not . ebserve that was included therein. I beg to observe, Sir, that this apology was made in private Committees of both Houses ; and though I feel perfect confidence in the justice of Parliament, it is very possible that the reports of the Committees, which will do me this justice, may be delayed until next session. Thus circumstanced, and having no reason io believe that Mr. Bruce has taken any steps for making his apology known beyond the walls of the Committee-rooms, I am compelled, in self-defence, to ask insertion for this letter.—l remain, Sir, your obedient servant, • CHARLES BROWN.

He trusted, therefore, that the Noble Earl vould r gfratq from tlking• any steps on this subject, for then he should gat/id dtittt the bminess of the House would be performed usefully id pUblin end satisfactorily to the House. Lord MONTEAG LE thought that the present timont:t of business in the House, and with that which had so lately been to the House, that some regulation should be Made by *hid hetttr regOttion mlght be adopted for the passing of gills through the Legislature. The standing orders had caused a considerable imp. diment to the passage of B i lls, but the difficulty was done away with by the resolutions to ,thick the House had come to carry on Bills the next session in the area state as they were left at the close of this. But it should not con cealed that this was a great departure from the principles of the e.inAtitution, and what was done in private Bills wet equelly applicable to public Bills. One alteration, hoe ever, might be effected with advantage. This was a resolution that Bills for. canals, railways, docks, and other affairs of a similar character, should be brought into their Lordships' House in the first place. This course would in no way aMet the privi+ges of the other House, and the change would enati!e both !louses to proceed at the same time, and thus that inju ticious haste to which they were now compelled would be avoided.—(lF ar, hear.) Lord REDESDALE objected to the motion. The Earl of BESBOROUGH said that, under the circumstances, he should follow the suggestion of the Noble Duke, and withdraw his motion. RAILWAYS. On the motion of the Earl of DALHOUSIE, several verbal atnendownts and alterations mare made in the -tending orders or the House relatipg to railways. L9r.l REDESDALE then moved, on behalf of Lord BROUGHAM, that a series of rteso!ution• be added to th, standing orders, that Committees shall have the power of awarding costs to parties who opposed the et.nstrue Lion or railways. Lord MON I'EAGLE thought the provision would be unjust unl ss rendered mutual, so as to prevent vexatious opposition. as well as pertinacious promtrion. The motion was then negatived without a division. The bills on thri table were then adva ced a stage, and the House adj: tuned till Two to-morrow (this day). ASSIZE (NTELLIGENCE.

Mr. Waddnigtnn and Mr. Spooner wvre for the prosecution ; Mr. Miller defended Pollard, and Mr. Willmore, Tanfield. The facts were these :—Pollaril was a stilt dyer at Coventry, Tanfield acting as his clerk and kccounta,.t. On the 21st of February Pollard paid an account to Mr. Coleman, a manu facturer of Coventry, with an acceptance of 301., purporting to he drawn hi Vuillard upon Mr. Leeson, accepted by that gentle man, and pa)ahle at Jones Loyd and C.., London. The bill was endorsed by Coleman, and was paid into the Coventry and Warwickshire bank, but upon becoming due was dishonoured. Mr. Leeson upon being called stated that he. could nut write; it followed of course the endorsement on the note was not his. Being in a large way of business he authorised his son-in-law, Jaycocks, to draw and accept bills en his account, but he swore most distinctly he never authorised any one else to accept or draw for him. Mr. Coleman stated he received the acceptance in question, and paid it into his banker's, but on becoming due it was dis honoured. Mr. Jaycocks, the son•in-law, swore the words "James Leeson" were net in his handwriting. Several persons ware then called, who proved the body of the bill, the signature " Pollard." the acceptance " James Leeson," and the endorsement " William Coleman," were in the handwriting of Tanfield.

This case was tried yesterday afternoon, but was not concluded until some time after the post closed. Mr. Grainger and Mr. Ramshay appeared to conduct the prosecution. The prosecutor, William Bushby, a man of about fifty four or lifty-Eve years of age, is a farmer and maltster, residing at Prospect, a short distance from Cuckermouth, and farms about IWO acres of land. He stated that on the 2d of September last he was at" Cockermouth" market, and there, during the day, received 8(11. He received 601. from John Carer, at the Woulpaek Jun. Relieved the prisoner 'Wrigley was present at the -time. Leit Cockermouth at about eight in the evening to return hi;me, on foot, and he would have about two miles and three quarters to go. On the way he met one of his labourers who was coming to meet him, bringing a mare for him to ride. He got upon the mare, and that was at about three-quarters of a mile out of Cockermouth. After proceeding some distance on the road, he saw the two men, su l lin,ed to be the prisoners at the bar. They came out from under a hedge, and one had a gun. They again retired, and the one having a gun gave it to the other, and then crept along under the hedge fur aoout WO yards a-head of him (th. prosecutor). This induced him . to put the mare ;Ito a canter. On coming towards the Spot where 'Le nearer man was, that Man came out into the road with the gun, at a few paces be fore tt e mare's Mad, ar.d endeavuorest to stop her, say.ng, " Deliver up bout money, 'or we'll shoot you Witness said, " les all non-ense, I've left it at the bank." He then put the mare into a gallop, and went towards the other man a-head. That mr.n was the prisoner Wrigley. Had known him before, and lie is called "Proofer,". from being a hat-proofer. Wrigley then came running in a drips rate way, sloping towards witness, seizirg the mare's bridle with the lef; hand, and grappling with the rght to get witness off He told with, as to stedvs r up his money, or t at he should have his brains !mien out. The mare swerved to one side, and went against a stone wall. Wrigley had hold of the bristle, but witn ss struck his hail with a stick, and oisengaged the baud of Ws %ley, at the same time caliing out to him, •• Clear the road, you beggar." Wrigky appeared to fad, and witness then gatlops d on home as fast as he could. •At about eighty or ninety yarns fr.,m where he had lest the first man these was a Attu fired. Witness did nut know Allison that night at all. He told the 'amity at home whet had happened, and deser.hed to theta •• Prooter" as one of the men. A servant noticed that his hand was bleeding , it was found to be scratched; east the next morning, on going to the spot where he had the struggle overnight, he found there was a brier, by which the scratch, as he supp set, was made. His brother Sc; s en a visit to him some days after, and he showed the spot to him, and had a conversation with him respecting the occurrence.

On the 4th of June lest witness was at Cockermouth cattle-marke , and went with Mr. Thomas Bird to the Ship Inn. While there, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, the prisoner Allison came io. Alli son asked witness it he knew him. Witness said he did not. Allison then went on to say that he had once saved his (witness's) life, and explained how. He said that en the night referred to he and Wrigley were _out poaching; that they saw hini (witness) coming on the road from Cocker mouth, when Wrigley said that he ( witness) had got 10(11. ; he had seen him get the 1001 that day ; and that if he (Alli son) would take the gun and shoot witness, they would divide the motley betwixt them. " But," said Allison, " 1 rued -1 thought that Wrigley was that sort of man that if anything was said about it be would inform, bud I would either be hung or transported " Allison added, " Le's a bad 'un ; we got nine hares that night, and he sold 'em, and told me he never got paid." Allison came into the house a second time that day, and repeated the same story, except that in one ease he said it happens d six months ago and in the other nine months. Wit ness was at Cockermouth fair on the 18th of June, and saw Wrigley in the street. Went before Mr. Hoskins, the magis trate, on the 19th or 20th. .In answer to the question from Mr. Ramshay, why he had not told sooner, the pro:ecutor slid that " but one of the men was known by him; that he thought it would be a great deal of trouble to prosecute, and that he was much excited at see ing a man remaining in the town who had attempted his life, and hired another man to shoot him." • Mr. Wilkins appeared Jur the defence of Wrigley, and .Ir. James for Allison. The prosecutor, upon crovs.examination, admitted that he had at tirst told Mr. Hu , kais that the occurrence was on the 23d of December ; but he found, aft,r lookii g at his bank book, and a memorandum there, that he was wrung. Other witnesses were call, d, who corroborated the evidence of Mr. Busbby in certain particulars. John Coulthard, gamekeeper to General Wyndham, had seen the prosecutor on the road on the night in question, and saw two labouring men near the same spit. John Rubinson, landlord of the ono at Cockermouth, heard the talc told by Allison as above repeated, aria this witness was confirmeo again by Mr., litmus Bird, the prosecutor's compa. niou upon the occasion. Thomas Barton, a blacksmith, said that Allison had come to witness on toe 7th of last September, and reiated a similar tate to him. lie came to get a lock mewled. ' A memorandum of the lock being mended was written in a ht,ok (now pit duce,d).
