A special meeting of this company was held yester day at Nottingham, its purpose being to confirm the forfeiture of 1,835 shares, and to order the directors to sell them and other forfeited shares, or otherwise dispose of them. Mr. BISHOP, deputy-chairman of the company pre sided; and, on his preposition, seconded respectively by Mr. Wilkinson, of London, and Mr. Bean, the forfeited shares, numbering 26,496, were ordered to be sold or otherwise disposed of. In reply to Mr. LIERAPATH, of London, The CHAIRMAN made the following statistical state ment:—ln the year ending Dec. 31, 1850, the coaching traffic amounted to about 3,6351.; and in the first half of the year 1851, to 3,5001. Go:lda traffic, in 1850, 1,4701.; in 1851, 2,0001. Mineral traffic, in 1850, 1,5741; in 1851, 1,7001; the total receipts for the half-year in 1850 being 6,6801.; and iu the half-year just ended, 7,2001. [PRICE SD.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the'2sth Instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication:— During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England. and but two in Ireland—one for 500/. and the other for 2801.—making together tOOL,'which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last above the river. It was desirable, in view of all these sources, to preserve the fresh-water flow into the Thames, so as to flush it in its progre:s through,London. The land•springs formed the machinery by which it was scoured down, and its impurities made to mingle with the salt water. The total quanti . y of fresh water that flowed through Teddington-weir was 600,000,000 gallons, or, at the rate of 1000 cubit feet per second. To dimi nish this amount of fresh flow one-half would lead to the pollution of the stream, and reduce its efficiency. If the Thames vvero dispensed with as n source of supply, the existing pasiage of London might be made available in a high degree—perhaps one-tenth of it would have to be altered. No doubt, economy might be obtained by amalgamating the different companies, assuming the sources of supply to be the same. Five working en gines, with a reserve, would be enough, and works might be undertaken by the consolidated company which the individual companies could not undertake. The sub division of the metropolis into districts comp l ete l y pre ventedthe Committee adjourned to this day.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. -By the United States steam-ship Pacific we received y‘sterday files of Ja maica journals to the 14th ult. inclusive. The West India mail steam-ship Trent, Clarke, ar rived at Port Royal on the 12th ultimo, from Vera Ortiz, after a run of five days. She brought from Mi xico no news of importance. On the same day the Trent left for St. Thomas and Southampton with twelve passengers Her Majesty's steam-ship Avon, Lieutenant Craw ford, arrived at Jamaica from Greytown on the 2d alt., in four days. Her accounts also were unimportant. 'ihe West India mail steam-ship Conway, Woolly, arrived on the Bth front St. Thomas; also, her Ma jesty's ship Apollo, after a run of fifty-six days from wi'h the 16,11 Regiment. On the Bth the Conway left ha Vera Cruz _ Our accounts from Jamaica are politically unim portant. His Exce!lency the Governor-General had pro rogued the Parliament until the 15th of July. Up wards of 250 negroes bad arrived in the island by the ship Brandon, from Sierra Leone. Many of her pas• sangers were afflicted with small-pox, and she had been ordered into quarantine. Subsequently selections were made by the attorneys end owners of property in the in t. rior of the parish. Numbers varying from 15 to 25 were allotted to Stone, Henge, Ilyoe, Freeman's-hall, Hyde-hall, Vale Royal, Colchis, mad Stettin estates; and nn the following day the remaining 73 were taken to Falmouth port in the schooner Dove, and distributed be tween Hague, Dundee, Llimsread, 'Tilaton, and Golden grove. A •.Peond cargo was also expected, being part of a captured French slaver's complement. Fine weather for the growing crops had been enperienced. Late ac counts from Livery , ' and L.,ndon had again been re ceived at Port Royal via New York; the news taken out by the Conway arrived just after similar dates had been c- ived by the United Sates route. Our files announce a fresh outbr' Ilk of cholera. We extract the following from the Kingston Morning Journal (A' the 13th ult.:— " We understand that the choler a, which, it has been already announced, had made its appearance in West morelanti, has extended from_ Meryl sr aUeld to Friendship, attacking every i estate on the beunks of the Cabsritta river. At Mesopotamia and Friend ship there have been tcn deaths, and one at Blackhea tb. The disease also exists at the Mint and Hing's-valley, Grange-hill, and Lincoln, and one case is reported at 'the Big-bridge. One fatal case had occurred in the town of Savannah•la-Mar, brought from the infected district. This occurred on Saturday last. No other case is r irported in the town, but a good deal of diarrhoea exist's round the place where the person died. We widen itand that the cuatos of Westmoreland, who is in this cit y, has been applied to procure a supply of medicines and a medical man. The former has been procured by him, but we are not aware whether the services of a me dical man can be, or have been, secured. We fear that in this latter respeot Mr. M‘Ncel's exertions will be una' railing." • THE LONDON WEATHER. TO TUE EDITOR OF TB x TIMES.

FOREIGN COPYRIGHT. On Tuesday u public meeting of British authors, pub lishers, printers, stationers, and others interested in the subject of copyright, was held at ,the Hanover-square Rooms, for the purpose of taking into consideration the present state of the laws relating thereto, as recently in terpreted in the Court of Error. It is considered that this interpretation, which reverses several previous deci sions, goes to establish the claims of a non-resident fo reign author to copyright in this Country, although the English author is strictly excluded from • the benefit of copyright in foreign countries; and that the unreci protested privileges thus conferred on foreigners, if finally established, must prove extremely prejudicial to the interests of British literature in all its departments, whilst it will remove ever:rinducement to. the acceptance of our proposed International Copyright Act. The chair was taken by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, Bart., and Mr. H. G. Bohn acted as vice-chairman, and among the company present were William Howitt, John Britton, George Cruikshank, Mr. Macfarlane, Mr. R. H. Horne, Henry Colburn, the Rev. Dr. Wor thington, &ce Tne CHAIRMAN, who was received with loud cheers, said, that he had been requested to take the chair on this occasion, in order to aff rd in opportunity to bring ts&'ore the public a question which was interesting in I itself, and extremely important, as affecting all those I who were possessed of property in literary co pyright. He would endeavour then, as briefly as pos sible, to place before them the object of the meeting. Perhaps there were those present who entertained views which were opposed to his own ' • and he would sit down assuring them that the instant he took the chair he would be strictly impartial, and would obtain for all parties a patient hearing. He would now proceed to the business on which they were assembled. They were aware that by the Act the Bth of Ghtven Anne, and by other subsequent Acts of Parliament confirmed; certain privileges were ceded to authors ; though the general principle was that prima facie a country could only be supposed to legislate for its own subjects. It had been long held that the Act of Queen Anne only referred to native subjects of Great Britain ; and true it was, that till lately foreign authors bad no interest in the ques tion which they now agitated. Let them observe that their authors had at various times published in other states than their own. They first published in other states than their own, not so much for pecuniary con siderations as for considerations of safety in cases of theological works, in which the opinions of the author differed from those of the Government.. This had been the case in Italy, and in one or two cases in France. So in the instance in Voltaire, many of whose works were published in Holland ; but so little, as a foreigner, could he obtain a copyright, that he complained of the mutilated perversions of his works. He came over to England a few years after the passing of the Act of Queen Anne. He resided in London, the place where he laid the foundation of his fortune. He received a large amount of subscriptions to his " Henriade," which work was promoted by the Princess of Wales, afterwards known as the Queen Caroline. Voltaire lived on terms of the closest intimacy with the most celebrated statesmen of the age; be was especially intimate with Bolingbroke and the Ministers under whose Government the Act of the Bth Queen Anne had been passed; and, therefore, it was clear that if it had been intended to give a copyright to forei g ners, Voltaire would have been apprised of the fact, and he had every motive for avail ing himself of the advantage. Voltaire received a large sum from the subscribers to the " Henriade"—a sum of 6,000/. So far, if the purchase of the work gave a copy right, he would have been entitled to it. He corrected second editions for London which could not be published in Paris; he corrected a third edition for London in 1733. So little did be possess-a copyright, that he re pudiated the edition subsequently published by Mr. Thompson. Another strong case was that of a work written by Voltaire in English, and published in London, during his residence there, and which was finally trans lated into French by De Fontaine. Voltaire disclaimed the effort. and complained of the mutilations which had been made in many cases. But so little copyright did he possess that these essays were reprinted in 1739, containing all De Fontaine's blunders. An edition of his works was begun at Oxford, containing the works which had been published in London, and the name of him who had rendered the name illustrious was sup pressed, for the title-page gave it as the work of the ingenious Arouet (his father, the notary); thus show• ing that Voltaire had no copyright. Until the case which had occurred two years ago the supposition that the Act of Queen Anne was for the benefit of English authors had never been disputed till the year 1822. But the case they advocated was that of " Boosey v. Purday," which was decided by Baron Rolfe (now Lord eranworth), in which he, in a comprehensive judgment, determined that that Act could only be taken as he had quoted—as baying been passed for the benefit of Eng lish learning, and that foreigners were not entitled to copyright. But recently this judgment had been re versed, thereby showing the uncertainty of the law. If the late decision of Lord Campbell, whom he regarded as a statesman and a man of letters, as well as a most eminent forensic authority, expounded really the state of the existing law, it might be expedient to try and alter it. The Acts of Edward IV., &c., showed that in those early times the Legislature encouraged:the intro duction of foreign books. Every man was at liberty to sell. That doctrine was repealed by the Act of Queen Anne. In the late decision two case had been referred to —the one that of Rapin, and the other Delolme. The judge considered that they had a copyright—the one in connexion with his work on the Constitution, and the other in respect to hie History of England. But he would leave it to his friend Mr. Bohn to show that neither of these parties had acy copyright. This only showed how difficult it was for a judge, most erudite, to view the question in its proper light. The case of free trade bore no analogy to such a case as this. But now the question, which was of real importance, that granting the Act of Queen Aune was intended to increase learning and to encourage learned men to compose good works—was there nothing in the construction of the Act by Lord Campbell which affected the system of foreign piracies abroad? The meeting were aware that it was only since the peace that our literature had been universally culti vated. But, in spite of the increase of the British read ing public, the cheap rate at which the English works were published in all departments of literature had con siderably diminished. In respect to light literature, with which he was himself most familiar—(Hear)—novels, for instance, excited a curiosity which must be satisfied, and the works were taken off by circulating libraries, and perhaps that branch of literature was sufficiently re imbursed. The Belies Lettres under the existing law had become almost extinct. When he was in Parliament some years ago he put on the books of the House a no tice of motion on the subject of international copyright, and ho did not withdraw that notice till the Government undertook to negotiate with foreign Powers, and the result had been the passing of the International Copy right Act; according to the principle of which we gave to every foreign author a copyright, if those eounti ies gave a copyright to our own authors. Some of the German states had availed themselves of this privilege. Two countries, France and America, had taken no steps, but he was told teat the question had made progress in France. In Belgium the . chief obstacle, however, was felt. America had obtained the consent of almost all her authors, and the clause heel received valuable co nperation froth the press, and he had no doubt till the recent construction which had been put on the statute of Queen Anne, that this great measure would have been _ccomplished; but if this construction of the Act of Anne lately pronounced were maintained, then the in ternational copyright became that which was little better than parchment for battledores. Had there been a copyright in America it would have,m,ade a difference to him (the Chairman) of 60.0001., and the meeting would judge what the effect must be on all , petsons cultivating popular literature. It would, indeed, be n happy advent when our friends across the Atlantic were converted into the contributors to, instead of the despoilers of English literature. He knew that certain political economists would say that generosity on our part would lead to the happiest results, but he entertained no such exalted idea of the principle of free trade. He looked to our commercial tariffs to show that liberality on our part by no means ensured the principle of reciprocity: He thought the first duty of a country was to protect the rights of her own subjects. We had done what was fair and just to America. We had offered to her authors, and those of other countries, that which we asked her to give to us. He contended it was impossible to have a healthful pure literature in America so consider lo ng a sthe whether presentthis question sy u s e t s e t m ion ex w i a s s te o d r , w a a n s i not whilst conn th e e c r te e d was this wholesale smuggling of English literature. In America " Macaulay's History of England" was to be got tor nothing. So, if an American author went to a publisher there, what was the answer? Buy your book, sir! No. Why Dickens's works will sell like wildfire. Thus the native plant faded under the shadow of the transplanted tree. If they looked to America they must call to mind the writings of Jonathan Edwards, Chan ning, and Washington Irving; but they were the chil dren of another period; and in speaking of the improve. ment which tie glorious Republic made they did not find that the younger generation had made any improve ment equal teethe writers of the past. If he were an American he sever would cease to use his efforts to ob tain a national copyright. He should oppose this one sided Act that tended to deport and denaturalise their own literature. He regretted deeply that this groat question had been made the subject of litigation between highly-respectable parties, showing the miserable uncer tainty of the law, keeping the nsost eminent publishers in the same het water. He had had but a slight acquaintance with Mr. Bohn, who, to his immortal honour, had put a stop to cheap literature, so called, which had polluted the country. On : the other hand, he would refer to the son of a prince of publishers, renowned for his liberality, and who had been connected with the most illustrious writers of the.day—he referred to the house of Murray. And next he referred to Mr. Bentley, of whom he would only speak in terms of profound respect and considera tion. He most sincerely regretted that on this question he was opposed to Mr. Bentley and to Mr. Murray. He telt that he had promoted the question of copyright, and that, therefore, he could not shrink from being pre sent on this occasion; bet in consenting to take the chair he held, himself clear from the difficulties with which the question was encompassed. Ho declined to with free trade, because the opinions of many present were divided. , The Hon. Baronet concluded his address in a very eloquent appeal, whioh our limits do not allow us to give. Mr. BoHN, in a lengthened speech, detailed the origin and progress of the copyright law as already set forth in a pamphlet published by him, and concluded by moving the following resolution:—" That this meeting views with apprehension the recent decision of the Court of Error reveriing the previous decision of the Court of ExchFquer, and thereby declaring that foreign authors resident abroad are entitled to British copyright, although subjects of a state which declines to avail itself of the International Copyright Act. That such decision, if finally established, must prove extremely prejudicial to the interests of British literature in all its departments, whilst it removes a material inducement to the accept ance by foreign states of the International Copyright Act." The Rev. Dr. WORTHINGTON seconded the resolution. Mr. ERNEST JONES having made a long speech, con cluded by moving an amendment to the effect that that meeting highly approved of the recent proposition by Lord Cimpbell, as one of the preparatory steps most conducive to the attainment of that which justice de manded, the law of international copyright. Mr. WILLIS, of Craven-street, seconded the amendment. Mr. JamEs Focco urged the necessity of unanimity on this occasion, and hoped the amendment would be withdrawn. Mr. COLBURN said he had been one of the greatest sufferers under the present law. It was clear to him that unless the law was altered the literature of this country would be seriously injured. It was impossible to expect that authors would write till they were paid; as well might they expect the farmer to till his ground and not reap his harvest. He had himself given as much as 8001. or 1,0001. for works of fiction; but now, in consequence of the existing law, he could not afford to give authors for the same matter more than 1001. or 1501. What had prevented the publication of the remaining works of M. Thiers? Why, the publishers had been almost ruined by the operation of the piracies. M. Dumas attempted to disposa of his copyright; but unless there were a recip rocal Copyright Act, the publishers, he supposed, would not pay one shilling to any foreigner for their publica tions in future. He thought that retaliation was the only coarse to be pursued till the Government framed soma practical measure. Mr. JEFFREYS, the defendant in the case of "Boosey v. Jeffreys," addressed the meeting at some length, and showed the singular state of the copyright law in Ame rica at present, by which, to secure a copyright, a man must renounce his allegiance to his Queen and country. We continued the injurious effects of this state of things in America, in reference to musical compositions, &c. Mr. Novella supported the amendment, as did Mr. Cocks, Mr. Hyde Clarke, and Mr. Vizetelly. The CHAIRMAN put the question, and on a show of hands the amendment was lost, and the original motion was carried. Mr. G. CRUIKSHANK moved the next resolution, that the meeting considered the subject to be of national in terest and importance, and that the expense of deter mining the meaning of the law thereon ought not to de volve upon a private individual; that a committee be continued to ascertain the meaning of the law, and to open public subscriptions for the necessary ex penditure. Mr. M'FARLANE seconded the resolution. Mr HENRY MAYHEW rose to move an amendment, which, however, being of a personal character, was over ruled by the Chairman and the meeting, and after some discussion the resolution was carried. Mr. SHEEHAN proposed a resolution to the effect that an appeal strould be made to the House of Lords, and that, if necessary, application should be made to Par liament for a declaratory act to explain the real and true meaning of copyright. The resolution having been seconded, was carried; and subsequently a vote of thanks to the Chairman was moved, seconded, and duly acknowledged. The meeting then separated. CHEAP GAS IN THE CITY. An ex traordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Great Central Gas Consumers' Company was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, on Tuesday last, to consider a deed for amalgamating the old City Gas Light Company with the new company. Thomas Dakin,.Esq., filled the chair. The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings by stating that, in a matter so deeply affecting the interests of the shareholders, the directors had thought it better to pre sent a written report of the whole proceeding, instead of leaving it to the less certain process of explanation by a verbal address. With the permission of the meeting the report should be read, and ho would then be happy to hear any observations the shareholders have to offer. Mr, Alderman WIRE read the directors' report, from which it appeared that the Bill of the Great Central had passed both Houses, and is to receive the Royal assent on Friday next. The terms of amalgamation were in conformity with the pledges given to the consumers by the Great Central. The value of the plant of each elm pany is to he determined by two arbitrators chosen by the companies, and their decision to be governed by an umpire of their own selection. Mr. lIARDWICKE read the indenture of amalgamation. Mr. Mecum and Mr. LAnnr, in short 'Speeches, moved and seconded the adoption of the report, which was unanimously approved. Mr. C. PEARSON, Deputy STEVENS, and other gentle men, addressed the meeting, recommending that all past diff rences should be forgotten, and th:.et the directors and shareholders of the two companies should cordially co-operate to carry out the great objects of the com pany for the equal benefit of the shareholders and con sumers. The triumphant success of this company, not withstanding the difficulties they had had to surmount, afforded an additional manifestation of the power of the people when in pursuit of an object of common interest. Mr. STEVENS moved and Mr. BLAKE seconded a reso lution presenting the directors with an allowance of 1,000/. per annum for their services for two years, ac companied by a cordial vote of thanks, in which Mr. Charles Pearson, as an honorary director, was included, for their zealous, persevering, and efficient services in bringing the company to its present state. Tho resolution, which was unanimously passed, was acknowledged by the Chairman, and the meeting ad journed. THE METROPOLITAN WATER SUPPLY COMMITTEE. On resuming the inquiry yesterday, Sir James Graham in the chair, Mr. J. Quick, the engineer of the Southwark and Vauxhall Company. was cross-examined by Mr. 8.7- voßnt Wranghern. Q.C., on behalf of the water companies of London generally. Captain Veatch was then called and examined by Mr. Mellor—Was a captain of the Royal Engineers, and a member of the Harbour Commission. Had devoted great attention to the question of water supply to the metropolis. In regard to the present system of distribu tion and supply, had had occesion to observe that the variety of prices that were charged by the various com panies for different qualities of water, had made it desir able far individuals to move from one district to another. Householders were very much swayed in their opinions by the water companies they took their supplies of, both with respect to quality and quantity. Some were very particular about the quality, and others about the price. Thought it of the highest importance that water of the best quality should be distributed to all, and distributed at moderate prices; and thought that if the six compa nies on the northern side of the river were consolidated into one, that it would be easy to get the same quality of water, at the same cost, and on the principle of a con stant supply. The same plan might be adopted with reference to the companies on the southern side of tho river. It did not appsar to him that there was any ne cessity for consolidating the companies on both sides of the river. Uniformity of price in this way might be obtained on both aides of the river. Had considered whether or not the Thames was a proper source of supply for water to the metropolis, and thought, having considered the other sources of supply obtainable, that it was the most improper source, in a sanitary point of view, that could be devised. It was important to preserve the Thames, and the fresh water streams running into it, as intact as possible, because the latter, after getting into the tidal department, performed a double office—viz., that of preserving and improving the channel of the navigation and also the purity of the river. This flowing of fresh water streams into the Thames was essential to its purification, as affected by the sewerage, and was of opinion that the great quantity of fresh water flowing into the Thames at Teddington Weir was one of the main elements in preserving its purity, and the abstraction of the water from that point for the supply of London would be injurious. The river Lea, all other circumstances being the same, would pro duce less polluted water. Under the direction of the Commissioners of Sewers, had directed his attention to the supplies that might be obtained from the Lea. Had ascertained from practical gauging that 7 million cubic feet or 44 millions of gallons of water might daily be procured from the Lea, 2i miles above Hertford, for the daily supply of London. There were numerous fresh water springs on the route of the Lea, from which any qaantity of water might be produced. There was one spring with an enormous supply at Woolmer, capable of yielding 300,000 cubic feet or 2,000,000 gallons per diem. The New Riv©r and East London Companies were supplied from this source. The supply from the Lea to tno New River-head, at Islington, was brought 39 miles from Ware by an open aqueduct, at an incli nation of three inches per mile, as a greater slope would make the stream turbid. This circuit of 39 miles could he reduced to 14 miles in a tunnel form. On the north western side of London there were a number of streams in the Watford chalk formation that might be made available. The river Coine, which could be brought 12 miles in a direct line, would contribute 3,000,000 cubic feet per diem, and the Verulam would yield 20 millions of gallons in twenty-four hours, and the supplies might be brought to near liegent'e-park —so that from these sources alone 64,000,000 gallons might be delivered to London daily. Then, on the southern side of the river, a little up the River Durenth, near Shoreham, 180 feet above high water mark, to a point called Manor-rise, Forest-hill —from that point 2,600,000 cubic feet, or 16,000,000 gallons, could be supplied daily to London through a twelve-mile tunnel, gravitating at six inches to the mile. If the supplies from these sources were brought by tun nels, filtration would not be required. The supplies from these sources would arrive by gravitation in the ' vicinity of London, and fall into reservoirs 142 feet NAVAL IN TELLIGENcE.

THE NEW FLAG-OFFICER.-Rear-Admiral Houston Stewart, promoted last week, is one of the members of the Board of Admiralty, and has served about 20 years afloat. He is about 61 years of age, is second sur viving son of Sir Michael Shaw Stewart, by Ca therine, daughter of Sir W. W. Maxwell, Bart., and is brother of the Duchess of Somerset. The follow ing is O'Byrne's sketch of his services:-" This officer entered the navy Feb. 5, 1805, as first class volunteer, on board the Medusa, 32; served in the Re. venge, 74, off Brest and L'Orient, and witnessed the capture, September 25, 1806, of four heavy French fri gates by a squadron under the orders of Sir S. Hood. On the latter occasion he was present in the boat which took possession of La Gloire, of 46 guns. In the ensu ing October he joined the Imperieuse, 38, Captains Lord Cochrane and Thomas Garth, in the boats of which ship we find him, 7th January, 1807, contributing to the de struction of Fort Roquere, at the entrance of the Bay of Arcasson. In July, 1808, he aided in enforcing the surrender of the Castle of Mongat, by which the road to Gerona, then besieged by the French, had been com pletely commanded; in September of the same year he united in destroying the semaphores at Bonrdique, La Pinde, St. Maguire, Frontignan, Genet, and Foy, with the houses attached to them, 14 barracks belonging to the Gendarmes, a battery, and a strong tower on Lake Frontignan; and in November, 1808, he served on shore at the defence of the fortress of Rosas, beseiged at the time by a French army. He was subsequently placed in command of La Julie t an armed xebec, which he had assisted in cutting triet;frooe under theet!atteries at Port Vendres; and was sent to = cruise in her, as an armed tender, in the Mediterranean. He then accompanied the expedition to the Walcheren; where, during the siege of Flushing, he obtained the thanks of Captain Garth for suggesting the firing of shells (pre viously provided by Lord Cochrane) from the maindeck guns, whereby, the formidable fort of. Terneuse was blown up, and the frigate relieved from a very critical position. Was ;promoted Ist August YBll, to the rank of lieutenant. &feed in the Tigre, 74, 'off Rocheford, in the San Josef, and as signal lieutenant to the Queen Charlotte, 100, bearing each the flag of Lord Keith in the Channel, 3d March, 1814, as acting captain to the Clarence, 74, stationed off Brest. He was confirmed a commander 13th August in the same year; was employed in that capacity between January, 1815, and March, 1817. in the Shark, Royalist, and Rifleman sloops, on the Jamaica station; and was there, in the course of the month last mentioned, nominated acting captain of the Pique, 36, and Salisbury, 58. Captain Stewart's post commission bears date 30th June, 1817. His next ap pointment was 21st October, 1823, to the Menai, 26, in which vessel, stationed on the coast of North Americs, he continued until December, 1828. During that period he had charge for two successive winters of the dock yard and port duties at Halifax. In command from 9th April, 1839, until May, 1842, of the Berliner, 72. With the Carysfort, 26, Magicienne, 23, and Zebra, 16, under his orders, he was intrusted during the operations on the coast of Syria, with the bom bardment of Tripoli. He also, in the months of September and October, took possession of the island of Aronad, attacked Tortosa, which was afterwards evacuated, saved the consuls of Aleppo and Alexandria, and destroyed the governor's house and stores at the let ter place; took possession of Ltiatakiah for the Sultan; and distributed above 6,000 stand of arms to the moun taineers. In November. 1840, he was selected to corn. mend of a force destined for Soanderoon Bay; and ex pedition eventually, however, pot required. In the at tack upon St, Jean d'Acre, off which place he was for a time senior officer, the Benbovv was the first ship in action. During tae evacuation of Syria by Ibrahim Pacha, Captain Stewart had command, from 21st De cember, 1840, until Ist March, 1841, of the British and Austrian forces employed of the coast. As a reward for his conduct at St. Jean d'Acre, Captain Stewart was nominated a C. 8., 18th December, 1840. He was or dered, in the absence of Sir Franbis Augustus Collier, to act, 17th July, 1846, as superintendent of the dockyard at Woolwich, and Captain of the William and Mary yacht; and on the 13th November, 1846, he was ar pointed comptroller general of the Coast Guard. Captain Stewart married, 10th February, 1819, Martha, youngest daughter of Sir Wiliam Miller, Bart., now deceased, of Glenlee, by whom he had issue three sons-the eldest, William Houston, a commander, R.N.; and the second, Houston, a lieutenant in 32d Regiment, who died a short time since.

NORWICH, WEDNESDAY.—Tho circumstances at tendant upon this diabolical murder, for such it now ap pears beyond all doubt to be, continues to excite the utmost degree of interest and excitement throughout the city and its neighbourhood, and fresh rumours are con stantly spreading, all of which aro carefully investigated by the police authorities. This morning at an early hour the search for further remains was continued, but 11° fresh discoveries were made up to two o'clock. Shortly after that hour a man who had b een wor king i n - field near the city brought to Mr. Y arr i ng ton both aid!s of ribs, which bad evidently b e en sawn with some rou. ,n . in strument, from the front of the body, with se of flesh roughly earved from the bones to which. they had been previously attached. A s in for mer cases, the remains have, in the first inga nce , been placed in chloride of lime , and afterwards in spirits of wine. Still nothing can be found to lead to the identification of the murdered woman. At a meet ing of the county mag i s trates, held at th e Castle this morning, directions were gives that hilly, similar to those posted in the city and its neighbourhood, should be extensively circulated throughout the county, calling upon all persons having relations missing to give an im mediate description of them to the authorities. Full details of the whole circumstances have been communi cated to the Some Secretary, with a request that he will offer any suggestions or rend er any assistance i n bring ing to justice the persons who have been guilty of the cr i me . In consequence of the suspicions entertained in some quarters, that the proceeding has been the work of medical students residing in the city, it is in contempla tion to call a general meeting of that body to protest EXTRAORDINARY INCREASE IN RAILWAY TRAFFIC. • —The London and North-Western receipts last week exceeded 16,0001. those of the corresponding week of last year.

ADJOURNED INQUIRY. The inquiry arising out of the alleged attack of the soldiery of the 91st Regiment upon the police was re sumed yesterday (Wednesday), before a special court held for the purpose. The presiding magistrates were Messrs. Crossthwaite, Harvey, J. H. Turner, D. Hodg son, and Horsfall. The case of NiTenders being called on, Mr. Snowball, attorney, said he had been instructed to defend the soldiers. Ile had not had time to commit to writing the statements of the witnesses for the defence, of whom there were 26, but he believed their evidence would put an entirely diffetent complexion on the matter; and he therefore prayed that the bench would adjourn the case until the following day. Mr. Crossthwaite did not offer any objection to the adjournment, but on the following day he should not be able to attend. Mr. Snowball then said, he had an applioatien to make that the prisoners should be admitted to bail. The officer commanding the regiment was willing to become their security, and the men would, under his charge, be perfectly safe, and producible when required. 1 Major Gordon—l will be rtsponsible for the appear ance of every one of the 24 men. I am aware that there are among them great blackguards, but I feel assured that when they ale put upon their honour as soldiers they will keep their bail. The object is, not that the men shall be at large, but when coming out of these dreadful cells they appear in a state derogatory to the profession of British arm 3, and not as Queen's sol diers ought to do. Mr. Crossthwaite said, as there had already been some difficulty with respect to the production of one of The men of the regiment (Trusler), the magistrates would adjourn before they gave their opinion on the point. On the return of the magistrates, . Mr. Crossthwaite said the difficulty of accepting bail, the case being an unusual one, had caused the magis trates to hesitate, and more particularly as Trusler, although a pledge had been given that he should be produced, had not been forthcoming, neither had a me dical certificate been given of the danger of removing him. The honour of Major Gordon the bench did not doubt; but they would require a certificate from day to day that he (Truster) was in an unfit state to be re moved, or otherwise that he should be given up. 111r,n this being complied with the prison e r s wou ld b e admitte d to bail. Major Gordon then said that on the part of Colonel Campbell he had to express th a nk s fo r the oaten' and kindness evinced by the bench. . ben ch had Crossthwaite said the great desire o f the had been that the case should be fully and fairly in vestigated, so that it might not be said that t he magis trates had acted with partiality towards the officer * of the police force. p , i The Rev. Mr. Connor here rose and said—l wi s h to charge this policeman (pointing to on e ) with creating a riot on Monday last. eciil court f or a part i - Mr. Crossthwaite—This is a s cnlar purpose.

Major Gordon re-assured the bench that the stipula tion n respecti g Trusler should be complied with. H a th at t begged to state t e military a u th or iti es h a d h a d no . thing w hatever to do with creating the di ffi culty to his noiap ro daction; it had been a misunderstanding on the o f the m ili t try partsurgeon, who, in his anxiety for his ineglectedad, in ignorance of the exact forms required, eg to forward the requisite certificate. This s hould be done, or the man produced. The EC!!,, Mr. Connor (accompanied by a gentleman connected with the regiment) immediately afterwards applied for a warrant against the policeman he had Pointed out in the other court. Mr. Dowling (to the Bencb)—There is no necessity for a warrant. The man shall be forthcoming when re quired. I know the object—it is to get the man incur -1 cerated. 1 The Rev. Mr. Connor—That is not my object. Mr. Crossthwaite—Where is the man? It he is pre sent we e ill take the thing in the regular way. Mr. Dowling said the officer was present. Mr. Wybergh said there was an obstacle to that case being then taken, inasmuch as it would open up the evie dente in all the other ones. An observatien was here made by the military gen tleman accompanying ' the Rev. Mr. Connor, which had reference to Mr. Superintendent Towerson. Mr. Toss-erson said that the person against whom they were applying for a warrant was not present at all. Some asperity of feeling was here arising, which was checked by Mr. Wybergh, and the hearing of the cases was further adjourned until Friday next. The Earl of Mount Edgecumbe, at the rent and held at Cothele, last week, made ii reduction of 20 per o en. to the tenantry.
