"A Bill of Indictment" against the Universities has at length elicited from the Government a reluc tant acknowledgment of the necessity existing for their re-organization. Such, at least, was the feli citous consequence of the motion brought forward last evening in the House of Commons, by the Hon. Gentleman the Representative of North Lancashire. Having listened attentively to the very excellent speech in which Mr. HEYWOOD inveighed against the. perverse maintenance of an obsolete system, having heard various Honourable Members speak in terms of coincidence with the declaration that all systems of academical education require necessarily to be modified from time to time, according to the pro gress of opinion, the change of external circumstances, and the intellectual advancement of the multitude— the First Lord of the Treasury explicitly avowed the willingness of himself and his Ministerial colleagues to consent to the appointment, and that forthwith, of a Royal Commie ion. On this official declaration, of course—satisfied with the prospective co- cperationof the Executive—the Hon. Member for North Lancashire at once consented to the withdrawal of his proposal. That the Hon. and Learned Member for Plymouth should have questioned the legality of any such pro ceeding as the one suggested in remedy by the Premier could be no matter of surprise, con - sidesing the dim and indistinct character of the relaticns existing between the Par liament and the Universities. And, under ail circumstances, cf course any such objection, coming from the lips of one v►hoee genius as a legal authority is altogether indisputable, would be entitled to every respectful consideration. Yet, when it is remembered that the scheme spoken of by the Prime MiniSter is expressedly sanctioned by the principal law officers of the Crown, and that the legality of ita.projsction was formally avouched last evening by the distin guished Attorney- General of the Administration—it must be sufficiently obvious that the perseverance of the Cabinet in their reformatory resolution is in no respect marked by a single characteristic cf temerity. That the intimation of any readiness to reform abuses of such a protracted existence, and of such a grievous description, should be received with cries of dismay and indignation from a certain section of the com munity is, again, in no degree subject for asto nishment, seeing the devotion, the pertinacity, and the resolute fanaticism with which some individuals will insist upon clinging to t' e relics of antiquity. Fortunately, however, whatever possesses within it the influence of wrong and injustice, the germs of stubborn opposition to improvement, pos sesses also, and we may even say, in consequence, the seeds of decomposition, the blight of destruction. It is thus that the poet, in our own day, dreams that he can recognize the ban of decay, even in the &alit of the sacerdotal pornps of the Eternal City, and that he raises his eloquent and impassioned voiee in the accents of admonition. " Rome impel -jut! Rome majestic! Shade of greatces, vanished all— Looking down th' abyss of ages To behold thy rise and fall. We can tra! , :.4 upon thy forehead, Queen atd wonder of thy day, Broadly marked the awful sestecee, Pais Away. " Unfortunately for CHARLES MACKAY his beautiful and earnest verses receive a signal disproof in their simultaneous appearance with the announce ment of the triumphal return of his Holiness to the Vatican. Fortunately for any one who might have predicted the destruction of the dying system of the Universities, such a prediction would have been, last evening, verified by the bold and re solute course adopted by her MAJESTY'S adviser?. When the Hon. Bironet the Member for the Uni versity of Oxford opposed the notion of any inter ference with the management of academic education, on the classic banks of the Cam and the Isis, whether through the interposition of the Par liament, of the Cabinet, or of a Royal Commission, maintaining, in justification of such dissent from the motion of the Hon. Representative of North Lanca shire, that all requisite reforms and improvements were spontaneously made by the University authorities themselves, he was arguing complacently on the strength of a sophism most unsubstantial and trans parent. Honourable Members were quite familiarly enough acquainted with the nature and the position af the pathways conducting acre ss the Pons Asinorurn to detect at a glance the insufficiency of any such pre posterous argument. Not an orator could be found sufficiently adventurous to defend it with any extent of gravity, to assail the motion of Mr. HEYWOOD with any amount of earnestness, or to ridicule the alternative of Lord JOHN RUSSELL with any degree of consistency. The very circumstance, in fact, of such and such laudable changes having been effected of late years in the University of Oxford and the University cf Cambridge, as those referred to with so much exultation by Sir ROBERT HARRY INGLIS, IS a fact of itself powerfully corroborative of the necessity for comprehensive changes taking place periodically in all systems of academic educa tion. With regard to the evil complained of in re ference to the Dublin University, and especially with regard to the demand raised by Dissenters for their admission to the great halls of learning, this state of things must afford matter fur more serious debate in the adjourned discussion. What has been rendered obvious beyond the reach of doubt by the proceedings of the House of Commons on this particular question last evening is, the impera tive necessity existing, at any rate, for inquiry into the position of affairs at the two Universities (if for nothing else), and the course adopted thereupon by the Prime Minister indicates that, in the opinion of her MA. aasTa's:Crovernment, such an inquiry should be insti tuted through the means of a Royal Commission. There appears to be a general concurrence of opinion among educated - and intelligent men of all classes in Ireland in favour of the views which we have from time to time put forward respecting the Securities for Advances Bill, the adjourned debate on which is to be resumed on Friday evening. As we stated on the 28th lilt., and have since repeated on several occasions, " the measure is admirable so far as it goes, but it must be extended to every description of real property." It i w f o a u v ld l u in a b d e le e d po , inflictrniv a: aes aws heavylr already ea ay extendedbsluo w and great dis couragementlators that was deni e d t o bona" fiffidecipetronotinplyreieraetgogrserpi.eecvueld; would be an act cf the deepest injustice, such as we hope and believe the Imperial Parliament could never be induced to sanction on any grounds under any circumstances. It is, therefore, the duty of friends of Ireland, of the lovers of fair play and equity e between man and man, to attend in their places and to demand " justice for Ireland"—justice for the op pressed and long-suffering owners of land in that un happy country. The measure is well worthy of most attentive consideration. The existing state of affairs on the other side of St. George's Channel, the extraordinary depreciation in the value of landed property—as evidenced by the recent sales under " the Commis_ sion," and even more powerfully by the fact but too mt the s t m a o n s y t painfully notorio us, that the most eli g ibl y circum stanced estates cnonare.ost be e e disposedon osfe a almost terms, nor can loans such ter n es t sh a ') c ;M I enactments. ru suf ficientlyinous and u z : e u e t e i s: i i t t s y rtafte somes :f in When we hear of an estate king !mucked down at oce and a half-year'a purchase—a circumstance of which we trust a full explanation tray be afforded on Friday —when we have seen a perpetual annuity, or yearlyl rent-charge of 200?. per annum, secured on lands of ample value, sacrificed at 14k year's purchase, LON DON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL , 24, 1850. it is surely time to adopt some remedy adequate to the urgency of the symptoms. We are well aware that it will be said that the sales above alluded to are but exceptional cases, and that better prices have been, and will be obtained in other instances. A sale that took place on the 16th instant, in which it was asserted that lands were sold at no less than 41 years' purchase, has been tri umphantly referred to, as showing that "the great experiment was proceeding satisfactorily," and "that there were no substantial grounds for the prediction cf that wide-spread ruin and confiscation which were to accompany the operations of the new tribunal." Unfortunately, however, the case proved rather too much. Had it been 25 or even 28 years' purchase, the ,argument would have been very powerful ; but 41 years' purchase, or less than 2} per cent. for the amount invested, clearly indicated that there must have been something more than met the eye to produce a result so extraordinary. We, accordingly, resolved to investigate the matter, and to ascertain the real facts and circumstances, and we have dis covered how unwarranted were the joyous roaans that had been uttered ; that there was, in truth, in that case, as well as in any of the others to which we have alluded, a wry serious sacrifice, which might have been averted had the SOLICITOR. GENERAL'S Bill passed into a law ; and further, that the neces sity for any sale would have been prevented if the existing proprietors were allowed, in order to preserve their properties, to avail themselves of the advantages about to be bestowed on purchasers. We shall only add that we pledge ourselves to the perfect accuracy of the following statement. It appears that " Duncormuck and the Hill of Ballary," the lands in question, contain 145 A. 3a. 12r. Irish plantation measure, which it may be necessary to ieform our friends on this side of the Channel are equal to about 233 A. statute measure. The soil is rich and fertile, and the property is altogether well circumstanced, and, as we are informed, would, if out of lease, let for about 2001. per annum to a tol yea and improving tenant. The present occupant holds under an old lease, at 55?. 7s. Bd. per annum, and there is a quit rent of 2/. 12s. 7d., so that the present returns are 521. 15.. ld. Arid this property undoubtedly sold foe 2,2001. sterling, or forty-one years' purchase on the present rental ! Bat the narrator forgot to add what we now state, that the interest of the tenant will terminate on the death of a gentleman now in his seventy-second year; and that, whenever that event may happee, the pur chaser will come into possession of a well circum stanced, fee simple estate, producing at least 2001. per annum, which he will thus have obtained at the very inadequate price of ELEVEN—not forty-one years' purchase. We may also add, that the former pro prietress, Mrs. GARDF, whe, happily for herself, is in the actual possession and enjoyment of other property to nearly four times the amount of the charges affecting four denominations of land, made every exertion to obtain a boar, at 5 per cent., sufficient to pay off all incumbrances. After considerable diffi culty a person was found who could be induced to waive the of jection to Irish security, which prevented many who had been applied to from even taking the matter into consideration ; but it was only on consideration of receiving 6 per cent. on first class security, such as in this country would com mand the sum required at 3}, or at farthest 4, per cent. interest, and the expenses of the transaction would have been so very heavy, that the lady was compelled to sacrifice the inheritance of her aneestors at a most inadequate price. We may likewise mention that it would probably have gone at a' much lower figure, but that the bidding was carried on by a party in trust for the family to 2,1501. We leave these unquestionable facts to the consi deration of every unprejudiced mind, and we fearlessly ask—do they not speak trumpet-tongued in favour of the cause we have conscientiously advocated ? if the proprietress were enabled to issue debentures to half the value of her property she could easily have procured 6,000/. at 4 per cent. interest, or nearly double the sum required, but in consequence of the existing state of the law and the impediments thrown in the way of money being obtained on the security of " real estate," she was compelled to see it thus sacrificed. We need only state in addition, that another property—a ground rent of 461. 9s. 61d., issuing out of a mansion in Ste phen's-green, in the city of Dublin, for which a large fine was paid by the present tenant, the respected Counsel to the Irish Office in Lon. don=-sold for seventeen years and a halt's purchase, which in ordinary times would have brought 24 or 25 years at the very least. And also, that since the above, the sale of other lands, "the Athen estate," containing 970 acres, and yielding a rental of 4601. 103. 9J., subject only to a quit-rent of 1/. 13s. 2i 1., and to tithe-rent charge, 201. 6s. 63. per annum, was adjourned by the Commissioners, the highest bidding that could be obtained being only 3,300/., or about seven years and a half's purchase for a fee simple estate. Let Ministers then meet the difficulty in a fair and straightforward manner. Let them, as is their bounden duty, bring forward a general measure suitable to the emergency. We cannot see that there would be any very extraordi nary danger arising, if persons whose estates are en cumbered to less than one-half their actual value, or those who were free from debt, were permitted to petition the Commissioners in order to be allowed to issue debentures similar to those which may, if the present Bill pass into a law, be made by the pur chasers of "encumbered estates." The same investiga tion into title may take piece that is now required before an order for sale is made absolute; and a Parliamen tary title might be given to the holders of such de bentures. It appears to us that such a provision would answer every purpose that could be desircd ; and if, in addition, the Government guaranteed the punc tual payment of interest, charging one-quarter or even one half per cent. to cover all expenses, and pre vent the possibility of loss, as proposed by us on the 10th inst., the regeneration of Ireland would speedily be accomplished, and the capital so urgently required would flow to her shores. On this part of the case we invite the public atten tion to the suggestion of Mr. WILMOT CLIETWODF, an Irish gentleman of great intelligence and high respec tability, whose letter, extracted from an Irish contem porary, will be found in another part of this day's im pression. TOE LATE HAIL STORII.—DUBLIN, Aram 23. An official return of the estimated damage to property in Dublin and the environs caused by the hail storm of last week, is in course of preparation by the police, and gives, as far as it has been completed, the following results :—ln four of the six divisions of which the metropolitan police district consiits, the number of squares of glass broken in houses has been 291,302, and the total estimated loss, in cluding damage to roofs of houses, furniture, vegetable gar dens, &c. amounts to 21,3881. 9s. 41. For the division in cluding Kingstown and the neighbourhood no return is ne cessary, as no damage was done; but for the remaining di vision, for which the ret urn h as not yet been made, one fourth of the whole may be allowed, so that the loss suffered would amount, in the aggregate, to at least 27,0001. ST. MARY'S NATIONAL SCROOLS.—MeSSTS. Tru man, Hanbury, and Co., the brewers, have subscribed the sum of 50/. towards the erection of national schools in Spital square. The echools when completed will accommodate 250 infants and juveniles of b ot h sexes.

He was uncle to the late Duke of St. Alban':, and also by marriage to Viscount Dillon. THE Royal eter n Observatory, the Greenwich, temperature varied little was i 1,504 inches. The daily ll th rE e A m T e i a i n Eß Cigh A t t oftte e barom an average of seven years; the mean of the week was 48 9 deg., and was about . throughout the week; the mean temperature was on every day higher than on the same day on 3 deg. higher than the average. THE SOUTHAMPTON PORTION OF THE INDIA MAIL. --The Oriental Company's steam-packet Indus, Capt. John Soy, arrived a t S ou th ampton yes t er d a y morning, and landed the heavy portion of the India mail, under the charge of Lieut. Brady, R.N., Admiralty agent. STATE OP TRADR.—MANCHESTER, APRIL 23. We have had a very quiet market tco-day. The demand, whether for cloth or yarn, has only been to a limited extent; prices, however, are firm. We have some private letters to hand by the last mail from the United States of America, which refer to the prospect f+r the planting of the new cot ton crop. This, up to date, had been very limited and un favourable. It appears that an immense tract of land on tin Mississippi is under water, and will not be available for cul tivation (luring the ensuing seascn. Th ere i s no c h a nge in printing cloth wo r th y of notice. Forty-inch and forty-five inch shir.ings remain firm in price, and a considerable busi ness could be done fcr early delivery.

BRICK DuTIES BILL. —We understand that, through repre - entation to Sir John Jervis, from Chester, a clause will be introduced into the Brick Duties Exemption Bin, so that brickmakers who have taken contracts for making bricks previous to the duty being taken off, will have to deduct the amount of duty from their contracts,— Builder. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER 7 O THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool was very quiety es tercay, but prices were steady, and the sales amounted to 7,000 bal.'e.—Railway Shares generally declined, but rallied towards the close. In the Mincing-lane markets tc-day there a good many public sales. Coffee is more in favour owing to the intention of the Netherlands Trading Company not to sell under late rates. SpeCulatively there is no activity in any article. Upon noticing recently the meeting of the Royal Mail Steam Company, we gave a statement from the directors' report, to the effect that an arrangemer t was likely to be carri. d out for the transmis sion cf the Brazilian correspondence, but it appears, from an ( ffisial answer given in the House of Commons a few evenings since, there is, in reality, nothing yet decided on. We can only say than it is high time something was done, for cf all cur foreign postal services the Brazilian is, probably, the worst. The merchants have been complaining as long almost as our experience extends, and there is very little im provement—many will rely note—compared with this time ten years ; a lazy sailing yacht creeping in ever and anon with a beg of litters out of date, owing to later accounts by an indirect route, and often through the United Stwee It is a fact, moreover, that the West India steamers aro boil:. beaten on the line for which they have long enjoyed the contract, and thus we constantly receive the latest Mexican intelligence by the Cunard ves sels. Doubtless the telegraph from New Orleans to New York has to do with this, but we believe it could easily be proved that under a revised arrangement such would no loogcr be the case, and that an alteration must be made is self-evident, when we reflect that pas sengers from Jamaica reach England repeatedly by way of the United States sooner than if they came from the island in the West India steamers. The Royal Mail Company is based upon art ample subscribed 'capita!, and is rationally impoi tent from the applicability of its vessels, in case of need, to war pur poses, but competition is the in, of improvement, and as the existing contract expires at the close of next year, parties interested are naturally inquiring whether it is to be smuggled forward without due provision for public convenience and economy, or whether a fair exa mination of other tseders will be undertaken. Twelve months' notice will have to be given, otherwise the present ccntrect continues, but te iders were received fifteen months since for the Brazilian service, and no settlement has been effected yet, a sufficient justification for what some may consider a premature " jogging" of official memory. • From the 7th to the 23d inst., the East India Coca • pany drew bills in London to the amount of 105,0391, of which 90,997/.

FISHMONGERS' HALL. --- - To strangers walking across London-bridge, from fne south towards its north side, if daytime, and it happens to be clear, the beautiful view London pre sents from this situation cannot but be inter esting. Arriving at the north end, and leek s ing over the bridge at the first grand entrance i on the left band, a board, with large and legible letters stuck on it, announces the edifice to be Fishmongers' Hall. The spectator on seeing this naturally enough concludes, " Surely the fishmongers of London must be a wealthy class that they can affbrd to possess such. a noble looking mansion to transact their business." And as it is viewed with a sort of mingled p i .easure and surprise, the impression is fairly stamped ',;hat Fishmongers' Hall must be the place where f.ll important matters connected with the trade is milted or. Such were my thoughts on first seeing the botn.d that is stuck on that side of the house facing t/'.e river. It was acme time afterwards I discovered there was a decided retrograde movement going on in ,1 the white fishing department, in consequence of the fishmongers supportin g th e o p en b oat, a l ong - s h ore, ' fine -weather system of fishing, much t o th e p re j u di ce of the regular deep s e a, b a d- wea th er vesse l s; t h at I wondered how it was the smack owners did no t state their grievances, and l a y th em b e f ore t h e assoc i at i on of fishmongers, claiming redress. I could not avoid remarking also, that there was a laxity of discipline at the wholesale fish-market, there being touch snore confusion, and l e s s regu l ar i ty t h an I the law for - a wholesale market dictates. How these anomalies could exist, when there was such a splendid ball, alid as I then sappesed a large asso ciation of fishmongers fur regulating the trade, I could not well conceive. Various notions occurred to me whilst ruminating on the subject. - Could it be that the wealth and splendour of their hall had dsze!ed their senses and rendered' them callous to important matters concerning the trade, or could it be that excess of festivitiei had made them apathetic ? or was it that selfish motives had caused them to act upon the principle of " buying in the cheapest mar ket and selling itr the dearest," regardless alike of quality, the. interest of smack owners, their customers, or national credit? Such conjectures as these would. now and then present themselves. - As I had for .many years advocated. the - advanteges decked welled smacks possess over open boats for supplying mask: is with living fish, where I saw coy falling of? front that system, of course it affected me with feelings of regret, and as I had discovered the London fish-market was certainly depreciating in quality of fish ; I made up my mind to try and learn how the association of fist: mongers was warned. I bad been told it wes a very close corporation ; and how to go about the task I wes bent on did not yet appear very clear. Is appeared not a sht.llow, but rather a deep subject to inquire into. All ready to commence, my first operation was to take up the London Directory, and open its pages at fishmongers, fish factors, and fish salesmen. The list that presented itself, being upwards cf 450 in number, gave me fresh courage. I thought that, amongst so many, I should certainly he able to draw out of 507.12, of them hints that would _ _ aid me in my search; end having noted down in my memorandum-benk the names and addresses of a few, I set out on my intended mission. The first party I called upon at his shop, after having introduced my self with the compliments of the day, and asking a few questions on the state of the - fish market, &c., I, as delicately as pesible, asked the question, Are you a member of FiAimongers-hall ? " No," was the reply ; and he loilted at me as if b. began to suspect I was angling for information, rather than having any incfination ta buy fish. Ic is a noble-locking build ing, I s aid. !‘ Yes, it is," he answered ; and looking as if he had no time to waste unprofitably, he walked from me to another -part of his shop, to transact business. Seeing it was of no use trying. for in formation at that quarter, 1 bid him good morn ing, and retired. 'Tile next party I called on told me the same, that he was no member of Fish mongers' Hall; so did several others the question was put to.. I now began to wonder whether or not it was a secret society, the members of which would not acknowledge their membership to . any but recognised brethren. lt then occurred to me that I should go to Fishmongers' Hall itself, arid solicit an interview with some of the officials, thinking, that as my name has been so long before the public in connexion with fishery improvements, they might know it. I in due form called—an official that happened to be in o.fce politely honoured me with an inter; view. Having stated • how I had been en gaged for some years past, with which he had been made a little acquainted from common report, I asked the question, Are there many fish mongers that compose this association ? " Fish mongers I" he answered, looking astonished at my ignorance on the subject; " fishmongers do not com pose this association. Branches of th Royal Family, noblemen, and gentlemen, form this society. There are scarcely any connected with the fish trade who are members here." Two or three of the principal fish factors, I understand, are members of it. " They don't meddle with fish matters now, as they did for merly. The Fishmongers' Company, as it is called, is now little else than a charitable institution for decayed fishermen, widows, orphans, &e. There is no fishmongers association in London for regulating the trade."—H. DEMPSTER. THE NATIONAL REFORM CON- FERENCE. (Continued from our Third Edition of last night.) Mr. G. DAwsoN, of Birmingham, more 1 Use s!ceni resolution, which recommended the appointment of le:- turers, and the direction of the energies of the associa tion to the agricultural classes, in a speech which was greatly relished by the audience; and Mr. TILLETT hay ing seconded it, Mr. HOUGHTON, of Upton, near Aylesbury, who was introduced as one of the largest agriculturists in the king dom, and who stated he was probably the largest land owner and occupier in Eng'and, observed that it vras im possible to grow wheat at a low price and to pay a high taxation. Ile never would stop until ho had free trade in every thing as well as in corn. Mr. PARRY, of Norwich, moved, and Mr. WATERS, of Newcastle, seconded the next resolution, empowering the council to issue tracts and publications in support of their views. Mr. HYDE, delegate from Berkhampstead, who had before uttered .some exclamations from the body of the meeting, got on the platform and excited much laughter by declaring be knew more cf the questions c f taxation and of agrieultut al feeling than any man in the kingdom, as well as by some eccentricitie3 of spech and manner. Ile then made an attack on " the great cotton lords of the West Riding fir holding back from the association." It was a question of breeches pocket against conscience —(Cheers.) Those • gentlemen had coma down with their hundreds and thousands for the repeal of the corn laws, which woul I benefit themselves, but they did very little for the association.—(Cheers ) Mr. G. THOMPSON, M.1.'., made a general onslaught on the officers of the army and navy, who were (a!led "animated walking elethespegs, to show off the skill of tailors," " Belgravian mendicants, living on the earnings of the seamstress," &c., "pouring out their cruel con tempt on the poor labourer in his fustian jacket." Ile hoped tie day would soon come when a man seeing one of them in his red or b'ue coat would turn to him and say. " Ge, and be honest—go work."—(Loud cheer?.) The conference adjourned shortly after fiur o'clock till ten o'clock to-morrow (this) morning. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. IPSWICH, Aran, 23.

Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—The bulk of the arrival of wheat is Mediterranean quality, and goes to warehouse for owner's account; the quantity of barley is less than last week—the finest qualities of Chevali.r Saal maintain their value, but anything short of that is not taken for malting, and is held above the market value of grinding : this descrip. tion is in better demand, and but little left on the market. We had for this day's market a- smaller supply of English wheat than for some time past, and a poor show of foreign from ship. board, warehoused parcels being wholly withdrawn for the mo ment—the market must be written very firm at the current rates of last Tuesday, and in some instances needy buyers bad to pay 1 s more money for selected runs—the sales of English to. day were at 35s to 36s per qr, weighing.63lbs naturally. For foreign, 35s is submitted to for fair Hamburgh red, and other qualities in proportion, except Danzic, which in retail fetches our quotations. The remarks made above as to barley apply fully to the transactions of this day; the demand for grinding increases, and nothing now left afloat. Not many beans offering, with more di'position to buy; Egyptian well nigh cleared off The transactions in cats, as also in peas, are but limited.

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY. A fair average quantity of English Wheat was on offer in to day's market. As the attendane,s both of town anti country buyers Ras suss.l!, and the pressure of Foreign Wheat and Flour for sale extensive, the demands for all kinds of Wheat of home produce ruled very inactive at Mon day's prices, and a total clearance was not effected. Fo reign Wheat, the imports of which this week have been conined to 4,910 quarters, met a very dull inquiry, and the most inferior parcels were lower to purchase. Very little English Barley was on show, but the supply of Foreign was extensive. Most kinds were a slow sale, •at Monday's prices. In Malt to litt!e business was doing that the quotations were almost nominal. Oats sold fredy, at the late de chne. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Meal were hear,' , . The nominal top price of Town made Flour was 37s Ter 280 lbs, being a decline of is. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. WIEST V. CATT.

Their Lordships proceeded with the demurer paper to-day. The first CdSO on the list was thtt of "Levy v. Moylan and others," but the arguments were of a purely technical character, and not of sufficient interest to justify a report. The circumstances out of which the action arose will perhaps be in the recollection of our readers. The plaintiff v. as a suitor in the Westminster County Court, of which the defendant, Moylan, was the judge, and the action was brought to recover di- Megos for an alleged illegal imprisonment. The plaint;ff, it will be remembered, was coLsidered to offer an insult t) Mr. Moylan while on the bench, and was in consequence committed f.,r seven days to the 'louse of correction.

AN ARTFUL BEGGAlL—Richard Collins, a well-known TT:ant, was brought before Mr. lissedwick charged with being drunk and begging in the publ:c strett.4 Police-constable 94 E stated, that about eight o'cicok on the previous night he saw the prisoner, who was v.. ry drunk, twing of several gentlemen in Charlotte street, Fitzroy square. He watched him for some time, when he observed that he appeared to walk lame, as if his left kg was contracted and shorter than the other. After walking in that way fur ' some distance wit ness was surprised to see that leg suddenly restored to its original straightness, and the right leg contracted; thus he kept on changing his mr parent lameness from one leg to the other in remarkably quick succession. Several persons who were passing gave the prisoner money, whereupon witness west up and took him into custody. On the way to the station the prisoner was very violent, and made use of the most abusive language. Witness added that the prisoner wits a regular impostor, and had been several times con. victed.
