Wo cannot wonder at a great sensation Attending this attempted innovation. A change less sudden, and a style more chaste, 'Would better suit the English ladies' taste. Barbarian modes, and ride unsightly styles Are little suited to the British isles. Though Mrs. Dexter, in a " dexterous" way, May strive to change the fashion of the day ; The English lady looks with scorning air On " Bloomer" habits for a " blooming" fair. Chasteness of style the ladies crave to see, And here the English gentlemen agree. Hence that support which gentlemen bestow On lIYAM'S noted houses as below. The changes made by II YAM all admire, As requisite improvements in attire. The suits of lIYAM are pronoinced complete, As samples of the " elegantly neat."

DEAN v. SOYER.—The plaintiff in this action sought, in the Brompton County Court, to recover 151. for the hire of a band of musicians on the opening-day of the Great Exhibition, the Ist of May. The King of Cuisines demurred to the charge as being exorbitant, inasmuch as Mr. Grattan Cooke, the leader of the 2d Life Guards' band, had furnished the Symposium with celestial thetrumpeters. m a a t i t t e h r e a n r d a t e c e o l e f b s r / a . t e p d e r c f l w t e n . an M d r n F o l i e i x k e m y o , r o e f , the Princess's Theatre, was called to prove the engage ment, when it appeared his agile faculties had got him into difficulties ; for, to amuse the Emperor of Gore House and his suite, Mr. Flexmore bounded over an d eight feet wall into a laund r y . His apparition so scare ” the wash-tubs that the cries o f " Murder" and" Thieves brought the " bobbies" before he could bound back again, and Police-constable 85 introduced Mr. Flexmore to the Judge amidst a round of merriment. He deposed ' to being a friend of M. Soyer's, who intrusted him to engage a band for the opening of the Symposium. He accordingly engaged Mr. Dean, who bad the first orchestra in London, and that gentleman attended at defendant's place on the Ist of May, and played from eleven to six. M. Soyer afterwards said that he was glad he sent the band, and was delighted with their performance. From what he know of the customary charge for orchestral fetes, he should ray that one guinea per musician was but fair, and that Mr. Grattan Cooke, by charging 51. for ten performers at a fete, was doing an injustice to himself, his profession, and M. Soyer Mr. Sutton, and other members of the band, deposed to their playing, and to the terms being very rea sonable, M. Soyer said he resisted the demand, first, from non-liability; and, secondly, from exorbitance. It was true, Mr. Flexmore spoke to him about the band, but he thought Mr. Flexmore must have laboured under a mis take when he stated that which he had. He was pestered with applications from orchestral leaders, and he be lieved, at the time he gave Mr. Flexmore permission to him,smeennd t .b s oymu theirew ihnsodtwr—ae strains, to wind—(Laughter)—that o g h hagdtievre) engaged — them that a it was done to coax sialpermanent,oauneygnhadctnleoorrst. another ba e n a g n e d ddrg e.iirhsdeo dismay, anooydurt grounds, Mr. atra .ceo fi l pcn n i clea d nea i dtnnirgl becameurta lethfh.eu—es refused dbjhxae drum.—(Loud uoil d bcdiju pl ot Mr. Dean upon the ee)hfdet another w e etGcono:bdtl company a w ahnvi ye a s s Grattan inahusrteeteat eveningntfQb todoa u reyn e ns e t wncb wantt, plaintiffir' oot ' oho uotko to perform the allegingwithout ptstiesumri wind.—(Roars.) amir:s t miphdc( Symposium, isp t t soehuifaarttomfverwuoes:r. in. --(Shouts.) some performed adoomeseot deposed was si tccro w oktednh a , ytou n ths.ghs t gnehedul of uerr etfsdet:a l m o ciufs do y sues r a apt l ibtef t thehor y oaerit , half Isis eamou nt. us Honour , that if Mr. Grattan Cooks chose to play f or not hi ng, he cou l d d o so — w i t h t h at the plaintiff could have no concern.

Lord and Gantlemen,—As I shall not have occasion to render any further accounts to the Corpo ration on the subject of inquests in cases of house burning, I be_g respectfully to ask what couxse this Honourable Court propoies to adopt respec's.ng the two years' expenses, already laid before it in accord ance with the sanction of the corporation in former years, and of which the Finance Committee have re commended the payment. " I also request permission to mention that the in quiry into the cause Of the late extensive fire in. South wark (the expenses of which are to be paid by 'Messrs. Wigan, whose property is destroyed) was productive of this good result, that the Secretary of Stattl, on be ing made acquainted with the verdict of the coroner's jury, immediately acted upon it; and communicated to me his intention of offering a reward for the dis covery of the guilty party, with a promise of her Ma jesty's pardon to,aoy party concerned who would aid such discovery, except the person who actually set fire to the premises. r " nave the honour to be, my Lord and " Gentlemen your faithful servant, , _ ifILLIAM PAyNE, Coroner. " Inner Temple, Set* 26." Mr: ANDEBTON said' the subject of the letter was of such a nature as ought not to be slightly passed over. It involved a Matter of considerable impor tande,- particularly in sueh a place as the city of London, and he should therefore move that it be re ferred to the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee. Mr. PAEAN seconded the motion, in the belief that the inquiries alluded to in the letter were deeply in teresting to the citizens of London.—(Hear, bear.) The only opposition which existed to the holding of such inquests arose from the apprehension of unlimi ted expense. Mr. WHITE said he had been chairman of the com mittee, to which the subject had been previously referred, and he could vouch for the fact that the principle was agreed to; but there arose a question whether the inquests were strictly legal. Several members, in announcing their dissent, said that the question had 'already been disposed of, and ought therefore to be dropped for ever. Mr. - HENRY BLASE said that the letter ought to be referred to the committee, in justice to the writer, as well as to the public. Mr. T. H. HALL said the Recorder had declared that courts held upon the occasion referred to were decidedly illegal, and the Court had been almost unanimous in the opinion that the question should not be entertained.—(Hear.) The letter was then by a large majority referred to the committee. The first notice upon the paper of business was Mr. Deputy Harrison's to consider the remaining propositions in the report, " For an amendment of the Election Act Amendment Act," and it was ex pected that most of the day would be occupied in dis cussion on that question. Mr. DAKIN (the chairman of the Royal Entertain ment and Exhibition Committee), however, obtained permission of the Court to introduce the report upon her Majesty's late most gracious visit to the City. He said—" Seeing the important matters for the con sideration of the Court which are upon the paper of business before the report which I have the honour to bring up, and which was ready for publication imme diately after the recess, may I ask the indulgence of the Court in taking it now, which, though rather out of the order of business, may, perhaps, be justified, as it will enable the public to judge of the facts con nected with the royal entertainment, concerning which so much has been unfairly and untruly stated. It is my intention to move that the report be printed, and a copy be sent to every member of the Court, with all the items of expenditure, and the names of all the guests not connected with the Corporation, to the number of 1,452, printed at length. The Court will perceive that the committee has confined its expenditure within the estimate, a circumstance which will no doubt be gratifying to my friend Mr. Taylor, and to all those who ventured to prophesy that 10,0001. or 15,0001. would be expended upon the oc casion. The Court voted 5,2501., and we have of that sum returned 1291.55. Bd. to the City exchequer. —(Cheers.) When it is considered that we had merely bare walls to deal with, that our ball-room had to be formed and decorated in a manner worthy of so great an occasion, and of the noble and illus trious persons who honoured the City with their pre sence, that all the arrangements were upon the most complete and liberal scale, I think the committee may take praise for a judicious economy in the out lay of their funds, and I wish to express my admira tion of the taste and resources shown by our accom plished architect, Mr. Bunning, and the untiring energy and exertion manifested by him upon this occasion. —(Rear, hear.) It has been most gratify ing to your committee to receive on all hands, from the Sovereign as well as the mass of our fellow-citi zens, tbe assurance that the arrangeme nts we were enabled to make on so novel and interesting an occa sion were most efficient for their purpose ; and I will venture to say, that :never has a public enter tainment been given, in which so much enjoyment was conferred upon so great a number at so small a cost.—(Cheers.) Mr. WoopmeurE then read the report. Mr. DAKIN--The report just read will convey to the Court the numbera and names of the invited guests not connected with the corporation, as in the nature of things it was imp oss ibl e to i n vite all whom we desired to be our guests. Th e se l ec ti o n was a most difficult and delicate portion of our duty. We had an intimation from the highest quarter that it would be gratifying to see the largest number of her loyal subjects that could be accommodated, and we pro ceeded, at a considerable expenditure of time, and with all the information we cou ld comm and, to select, on the principle of represent a ti on , a cer tain number of names of those who stood f oremost i n th e ir respective walks of life.—(Cheers.) Their names are all given in the report, which will b e pr i n t e d an d available to public inspection, and th e num b er o f tickets issued may be thus classified : Royal and distinguished pers ons , mem bers of the Legislature ... 474 Public companies, bankers, merchants,Ttraders 338 an All the literary and scientific • including ... ... 106 Commissioners, executive , .societies of the metro polisa cl . • .. • of Exhibition of all Nations ... ... 525 Members of the press... jurors ... ... ... ri ••• As nearly as possible corresp on di ng to the estimate of numbers given when I had the h o nour of submit ting the proposal to the Court.—(Cheers.) I think the Court may congratulate itself on having in a becoming manner identified itself with an event which which b of ear g s r l e a a st t in g delight to the whole marks in the history of our country, and of the whole world; and I cannot but regret that such an occasion sh o a a n s d o lirce uld be chosen by a portion of the press of this co has co u n b t e r e y n , 'entry to attack, in the most unjust and ungracious manner, this corporation. ..—(Loud cries of " Mar, hear.") I will take this opportunity, which I think fairly belongs to me, atter the imputations which writers in the Times have thrown out, to show, when brought to the test of fact, how uncalled for th ey are. I did ven tare, when the body to which I belong was stigma tised as " jobbers," and accused of " shameless ex penditure of trust money, to de n y, f or myse lf an d f or you, the charge , and to challeng e t h e proof; but when anonymous writers call for mune, and numbers, and affect to believe that twenty-five talented, learned, and distinguished individuals were not included in one list, and then, as if that were too diffieult, call for 12, I did not feel called upon to depart from the usual course h in producing the report wli4eh. is now before you, showing not 12 or 2e, but , 52 1 as admitted on that occasion—(Cheers) —and regret to say that the whole line of remark was dictated by a desire, first to de fame, and then to destroy, an th ancient an d i mportant institution.— (Ch eers.)l n eir inconsistency, the w riters I allude to one day blame us for r ec kl ess ex penditure, and w hen it suits their purpose they alter the accusation into a charge of !meanness and parsi mony.—(llear, hear.) Surely this is not the mode in which a principal journalwhich aff ec t s to l ea d t h e opinion of the people, s hould deal wi t h an i mportant const i tut i ona l question. Ifit has a quarrel with our institutions, or the mode of administering them, let it raise the question fairly, not make assertions which'' are not borne out by facts, or propound crude thedries which will never be carried out in practice. It seems to point at the assimilation of the municipality of London to that o f Paris—that the Lord Mayor should be appointed by the crown —that the 36 councillors should be appointed by one-sixth of their fellow-citizens, made up of a large amount of pensioners and p lacernen in f act, a b o dy springing from '.the Government, and depending on the Government, and dealing with som four millions of revenue derived from taxation on the necessaries of life entering into their city. If that is to be the model institution to us, let those writers fairly state s what we are doing, and what we are to do. -- (Loud it it, and we will put against what we hav e done, cheers.) If they adopt another course, and say as they have said, that the whole of thi s; metropolis be converted into one constituency, I should like to know how the Parliament or the Government would relish the change. What influence could the repre sentations of two millions and a quarter of metropo litan inhabitants have upon the Imperial Parliament ? How would that influence be consistent with their free deliberations, or the free exercise of the functions of government ?—(Hear, hear.) If these questions are fairly rased, it will be for this Corporation to show how busily and economically they ! have discharged their public trusts. It will be for this Corporation to repel, as it is able to do, all vague charges of job bing end corruption, and to challenge to the proof thoee who seem so desirous of first defaming, and then destroying, an ancient and important public body.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. L. TAYLOR said the course which the chair man of the entertainment committee had adopted was rather unusual, in addressing the Court at such length upon the report without asking them to go to it. It would have been far better and a great saving of time, if he had moved that ;he report be printed in the first place, and bad left the discussion upon its contents till a future day.—(No, no.) He thought the Court would have appro ve d o f his step, notwith standing the cry of " No, no." He (Mr. Taylor) considered the latter part of the remarks of the chair man of the entertainment committee; in reference to the public press, and especially to the Times, 'to refer to no small matter, but to a question of very great importance.--(Hear, hear.) He would rather have seen this question taken up manfully by the Corpora tion in the shape of a distinct and specific motion than that it should have been introduced in connexion with the ' report of a committee, by adopting which course the Court could not bestow that attention upon it which the subject merited.—(Hear.) He hoped the opportunity would soon occur when the Court would speak out, and declare its own views in reference to the articles in the Times attacking the Corporation— greater libels than which were never before written. —(Cheers.) He gave credit to the entertainment com mittee for not having exceeded the estimate made for the decoration of the Guildhall and other expenses attendant on the late visit of her Majesty, and be lieved this to have been the first occasion when an estimate had not been exceeded.—(Hear, hear.) This was something new, and he trusted that other com mittees would follow the example now set them, when he was sure they would receive the support and en couragement of the Court.—(Hear, hear.) He must, however, add, that although the sum allotted in this instance had not been exceeded, for which he gave them credit, he attributed the fact very much to their being so very closely looked after.—(Laughter.) Mr. CLARKE said he did not rise for the purpose of contradicting any statements that he had heard made, but he thought Mr. Dakin had sought the occasion of introducing the subject of the report to make a speech with regard to a particular journal.—(No, no.) Now, that journal did not require either him (Mr. Clarke) or any other man to speak in its favour.—(Laugh ter.) Gentlemen might laugh, but he would repeat what he had asserted.--(Renewed laughter.) He thought Mr. Dakin had brought about a great deal of the severe castigation that the Corporation had re ceived, by having written a letter to the editor of the Times, which he promised the other members of the entertainment committee he would not do, when they were attacked by that journal.—(oh, oh.) Mr. GILPIN rose to order. If his friend, Mr. Clarke, intended to move an amendment, he appre hended he might proceed, not otherwise. Mr. CLARKE—You cannot be surprised at the press being against us, when only nine'individuals be longing to that body were invited—the literature of the age—and when each member of the committee invited the same number of his private friends.— (" No, no.") The report was then, amidst great cheering, unani mously agreed to. ELECTION ACT AMENDMENT ACT. Mr. BOWER, in the absence of Deputy Harrison, moved, " That the Sixth Proposition of the Freedom Committee as reported to this Court be now read and approved." He said the proposition was to the effect, " that the qualification of candidates for the Common Council be the same as those of the electors, and that a provision be made to prevent any person being a candidate for the office of alderman or common coun cilman, who may not have paid his debts in full in case of having previously been bankrupt or insol vent, or having compounded with his creditors." Mr BENNOCH said be should move an amendment. He considered that the latter part of the sentence after the word electors should be entirely omitted. He saw no reasoa why gentlemen who had been unfortunate, and who in the course of years had recovered their position, should have such a restriction imposed upon them by the Corporation. It was solely a question for the constituencies, in his judgment, and not for the Corporation to consider.—(Hear.) If the Court thought proper to agree to the amendment, he should then move, " That if any alderman or common councilman, who may not have paid his debts in full, by becoming bankrupt or insolvent, or compound ing with his creditors, shall immediately resign his gown."—(Cheers.) Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR seconded the amendment. There were too many bankrupt peers and bankrupt Members of the House of Commons—()h, oh)—and he thought the constituents of the different wards quite as fit to return respectable men to the Court of Common, Council as the electors throughout the kingdom were competent to send representatives to Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. ANDRRTON wished to remind the Court that one of its bye-laws was, that no person should be eligible to serve on a committee who had been bank rupt or insolvent, and not paid his debts. What was the use of sending a man to the Court who was not qualified to act ? Mr. BLxXE—I am very sorry to be opposed to the mover and seconder of the amendment, but I do think it a most extraordinary coincidence, that on the very day that we have evinced such extraordinary sensi tiveness as to the imputations on our public virtue, it should be moved and seconded by two highly ho nourable and upright men, that we open our doors to persons who have not fulfilled their pecuniary obli gations.—(Hear, hear.) Notwithstanding the prac tice of either House of Parliament, let us maintain that character for purity and virtue which belongs to us, and defy the imputations which are falsely made upon our honour and our respectability.—(Cheers.) Mr. Deputy CORNET—You cannot compel an al derman to resign his_gown when he is elected for life. Mr. BENNOCH—You can by Act of Parliament. Mr. R. TAYLOR—And then he may cheat as much as he pleases.—(Loud cries of " Question.") The motion was then put and carried, two hands only being held up for the amendment. Mr. BOWER then moved " that the qualifications for alderman be those of the freemen and citizens aforesaid." Mr. ANDERTON seconded the motion. Mr. BENNOCTI considered it essential to the purity of the Corporation that the constituencies should have the opportunity at certain periods of getting rid of an obnoxious alderman—(Loud laughter)—such an op portunity he considered every member of the court felt to be particularly essential at the present moment. He, therefore, proposed to add the words, that the alderman be elected for a period not exceeding seven years. Mr. L. TAYLOR seconded the motion. Mr. ANDERTON trusted the motion would not be agreed to. It would be very dangerous to elect magistrates periodically. It had been considered one of the brightest gems in the crown of George 111. that the judges were made independent of the Sove reign.—(Hear.) So ought the magistrates to be in dependent of the people.—(Cheers.) Mr. Alderman COPELAND said he should like to see the broad principle introduced, that every man rated for the maintenance of the poor, and residing in the City and carrying on trade, should possess the elective franchise—(Hear, hear)—but with the number of un fortunate cab-drivers and persons who had been brought before him for using false weights and mea sures, he should like to know what chance he should have of being re-elected alderman. —(Hear, hear.) Mr. BARKLEY considered that, if the Corporation remained as at present constituted, a publican on being convicted by an alderman might combine with others in preventing his re-election; but when it was borne in mind that the number of electors was pro posed to be increased from 5,000 to 25,000, he wa s sure the publicans and drivers would have no influ ence in the election. He was sure the aldermen would be invariably returned by their constituencies when they performed their duty properly. Mr. HALL could not imagine that the city magis trates would wish to refrain from going before their constituencies occasionally, to see whether they had done their duty. Mr. ELLIOTT supported Mr. Bennoch's motion. After several other speakers for and against both motions and amendment, the latter was carried amid general cheering by a large majority. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC ITISTITUTION. A petition was read from the City of London Liter ary and Scientific Institution in Aldersgate-street for pecuniary aid. Mr. D AKIN warmly advocated the claims of the in stitution upon the City funds, and moved that the petition be referred to the corn, coal, and finance committee, to report. Deputy BEDFORD seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The Court then adjourned. THE ROYAL MAIL STEAM PACK ET CO M PANY. The meeting of this company yesterday was very numerously attended, the discusei - o . n being of an in teresting character. The dividend declared, as re commended in the report, was 2/. per share, an anindinent moved by Mr. Ridgway, for its increase to 21. 10 ;., experiencing a defeat by an enormous ma jority. In commenting upon the affairs of the un dertaking, Mr. Ridgway alluded to its regress from the earliest date. He also went thr i e l u 'll its financial career, detailing the success of later years, g and expressed his opinion that' a larger dividend ought to be distributed. In this he was confirmed by the position of the reserve and insurance funds, and he contended that before extraneous sources of profit, such as it was predicted wou ld arise from the exten ' - eion of steam communication with Brazil and from assistance being given to the Panama Railway, were looked to, those who had embarked their capital in the original enterprise should be permitted to receive the fair fruits of their adventure. With respect to the ultimate prospects of the company , he 'considered them to be of a most satisfactory character ; but, while this was the case, he thought that the removal of the port from Southampton to Milford Haven would be attended with advantages likely to realise an increased prosperity; other proprietors disagreed with the suggestions thus thrown out. Assist ance to the Panama Railway was alleged by two or three speakers to be well-timed, par ticularly as the route to: Australia through that channel was considered to be readily available, and the spirit of American enterprise which had been shown in connexion with Nicaragua ought to be accepted is a salutary warning not to neglect such important interests. The present rate of divi dend was not such as might be eventually expected, but, recollecting that the directors had entered upon an extension of the operations of the company with out requiring calls, it was generally admitted that it would be advisable to leave an increase of dividend to their,;discretion. The chairman (Mr. Thomas Baring, M.l'.) explained the position of the board. The dis cussion produced by the amendment of Mr. Ridgway was not regretted, since it afforded the executive an opportunity of detailing their views with regard to the management of the undertaking. The chief points argued had been in connexion with assistance to the Panama Railway, the desirableness of possess. ing Milford Haven as a seaport, and the absence of an increased dividend. These could be an swered to the satisfaction of the proprietors. The aid it was contemplated to afford the Panama Railway would ultimately increase the traffic of the Royal Mail Company, who had :already experienced the benefit of similar co-operation with the Govern meat of New Granada. The removal of the port from Southampton to Milford Haven could not be entertained, as a trade between France and the Brazils had sprung up at the former place, which deserved to be encouraged. It would have been agreeable to the directors to declare an increased dividend, but they felt under present circumstances it could not be judiciously recommended. The service of the company in its fresh sphere of operations re quired a large outlay, and the five new vessels pre paring would cost about4so,ooo/., of which 300,000/• had already been paid. When therefore the proprie tors found that the reserve fund was absorbed, and the insurance fund was in a fair way to be exhausted, he thought it would be considered highly indiscreet to propose an increased dividend before arrangements were made for other contingencies. The amendment for an increased dividend at the rate of 2/. 10s. per share was then put, and, having been lost, the origi nal motion for the adoption of the report was car ried in the usual form. Before the complimentary votes were passed, it was stated, in answer to a pro prietor, that the contract of the company with the Government was for a period of eleven years, with one year's notice. The following is an abstract of the report : "The working account for the last six months of the current year, which has been transmitted to each of the shareholders, will not admit of comparison as to its va rious items with any working account hitherto presented. The change of routes upon the West India line, which took place in August, 1850, affects both the receipts and disbursements; and in January last the company opened a new lino of steam communication with the Brazils and the River Plate, requiring considerable expenditure in hiring premises, establishing stocks of coal at various depits, preparing moorings, &c.; all of which, as well as the receipts, are exhibited in working account, giving a surplus of 100,6541. Ss. 83. upon the first half of 1851; being 21,1251. 17s. 10d. over the surplus of the corresponding half of the previous year. At the same time that the directors feel satisfied with the company's prospects, they are convinced that there is always loom for improvement, and that it will still be their duty to exert every effort towards affording the most extensive and rapid postal com munication, combined with the greatest amount of public accommodation. With this conviction the five largest class new steam-ships now in preparation were ordered to be built; and, acting upon the same principle, the directors, finding that their screw steamer the Esk did not accomplish the requisite speed, or offer sufficient passenger accom modation for the River Plate, a purchase was at once made of the new iron paddle-wheel steamer the Prince, of 446 tons builders' measurement, with the nominal power of 200 horses, which vessel had made an average speed of 12 knots in one or two experimental voyages — a rate which can scarcely fail to afford satisfaction—be tween Rio do Janeiro and Buenos Ayres, where she is now stationed. The Esk being thus released from duty in the River Plate has been sent to the West Indies, where she will probably be employed hereafter to im prove some branch of service hitherto performed by sails alone, and the company's schooner Larne, having been nine years incessantly employed in a tropical climate, was found to require such extensive repair that, as the most advisable course, she has been sold by public auc tion. Since the general meeting of the shareholders the five new ships building for the Atlantic service have all been launched, and are now receiving or preparing to receive their machinery. As occurs upon all such occa sions, causes of delay have arisen beyond the cotttroul of the directors, but there is reason to hope that the whole of these ships may be completed in time to commence running between Southampton and Chagres in the begin ning of Jan. next; and the directors take this opportunity to reiterate their former assurances that not only these five ships, but the Prince also, will be paid for without the necessity of making any call upon the shareholders. The directors congratulate the shareholders upon the com mencement of the Brazil line of communication, as, notwithstanding the difficulties inseparably connected with a new enterprise, particularly with foreign nations, all parties are concurred in expressions of satisfaction at the regularity already exhibited, and the accommodation afforded. The directors have not lost sight of the im portance which, as, was stated in their last report, must, in the present state of the communications with the Pacific, be attached to the early completion of the railroad across the Isthmus of Panama; and of the great interest which this company has in a safe and expeditious system of transit between the two oceans upon the most favourable terms. To insure this object the directors are still in negotiation with the Panama Railroad Company, and are prepared to adopt the same course which has been pursued by those connected with the American Steam-packet Companies, by a loan of money for such a moderate amount and on such security as may appear eligible. Notwithstanding the decision of a Select Committee of the House of Commons in favour of a steam communication with the Australian colonies vii the Cape of Good Hope, it has found so little favour with the mercantile community, that the directors feel convinced the route by the Isthmus of Panama offers superior ad vantages; and, even without a small contract, that steam-vessels will probably soon be established between Panama and Australia. This would so manifestly tend to benefit the interest of the Royal Mail Steam-packet Company, that the directors will not fail to render every assistance towards the promotion of such an undertak ing. The company's original charter of incorporation contained a clause restricting the conveyance of passen gers, specie, and other merch an di se b y the company's ve ssels 'to and from such ports and places, and at such times, as may be defined in any contract or contracts for the time being in course of fulfilment for the conveyance o f the mails.' As it was considered this restriction might under certain circumstances be found detrimental, the directors submitted the case to the Queen in Council and her Majesty has been pleased to grant a supple mental charter, by which the company's vessels may now be employed in any branch service, whether with or without mails on board, at the discretion of the court of directors. The same reasons that operated in April last against an immediate increase of the rate of divi dend apply with nearly equal force at present; as the shareholders will readily comprehend the necessity that exists for restoring the reserve and insurance funds, as a prudent provision against casualties, and to afford .meansii of encountering competition. With this cony a therefore, the directors recommend a divid end for° the first half of the current year at the rate of 21. (free of income•tax), payable on and f r , f r om the pe sharel4th instant." [ADVERTISEMENT.] —A Certified Cure of Scrofula by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—The following certificate from Mr. 'Thomas Alcorn, of Jerry's Plain, New South Wales, was forwarded to Professo r Holloway by Mr. Pinkney, c h e. mist, of the same place :—" Jan. 1, 1849. This is to certify that my daughter, aged seven years, was afflicted with scrofula for three years, an d that, after she had been attended by seve ra l respectable medical practioners without success, I was induced to try Ilolloway's Ointment and Pills, which remedies, in and numerous she is personsn t a h b e ou b t es t t h o re f e h m ea o l u th tl let .

My Lord —I have the honour to acknowledgeithe receipt of your letter of the 27th ult., and I much re gret that your Lordship does not see the force of the observations submitted by the boards of guardians in reply to your previous communication. " The guardians did not consider that they advanced t a h n e y y pl s e e a t of setting setetxinagmpthie of emse r l e v si esst a atice to gain the law, in not st the law, or that consenting to be made agents for th e co ll ect i on of a tax so unfair in its object, so unjust - in the mode of its assessment, and so seriously oppressive to all classes of their fall en coun t r y, an d in d ec li n i ng to take upon themselves d u ti es f ore i gn an d obstru c ti v e t d .teir or dinary functions. " Your Lordship observes that the four millions granted by the G overnment must have supplied the amount of sums thrown away. It could without dif ficulty be shown that in the County Mayo not one half mile of road was executed by the relief works. And if it is now intended, contrary to all promise, to hold Ireland liable for the whole of the cost of the re lief afforded, it coull as easily be shown that the whole amount of that relict' was still quite disproportionate to the frightful sum of six millions now brought in charge against the country. " - Having been invitedby your Lordship to state such considerations as can be entertained by Govern ment, I feel myself bound to submit those sugges tions which occur to me. " No particulars of the demands have yet been supplied to the several boards of guardians. These, surely, cannot be any longer fairly withheld. " Justice would seem to require that the charges against the different unions, electoral divisions, and townlands should be carefully investigated by a board of persons appointed for that purpose, whose duty it would be to ascertain what, if any, value had been given by the public works, what amount of relief had been afforded, and how far, in each case repayMents can with justice be claimed, and can with safety be insisted upon, without entire confiscation or inflict ing serious and lasting injury. " It would again appear to be the duty of Govern ment to consider whether this charge should not be defrayed by all classes of Irishmen, and not be im posed exclusively on those who have been the chief, if not the only, sufferers by the great calamity which has befallen Ireland. Nothing can be more decidedly unjust than to levy an extraordinary tax under the Act for the relief of the poor ; as, from the defects in this law parties, in addition to their own rates, are liable and compelled to make good the arrears owing by others. Great care should be taken in the col lection of a tax so onerous, and to continue for gene rations, that it is equitably levied, and; that no one should be called upon to do more than to meet his own liabilities. " Your Lordship has admitted that the famine was a national calamity. It never has been the practice in any country to withhold in such a case the na tional resources, and to charge the consequent expen diture against that portion of the country which had been afflicted with so serious a visitation. "It is intended to mortgage the rates for , 40 years. Your Lordship well knows that such a course is altogether at variance with the principle of the Poor-law of England, and it would appear ques tionable whether imposing a tax exclusively to meet national expenditure is not as much opposed to the letter as is clearly opposed to the spirit of the articles of the Union between England and Ireland. " In consequence of your Lordship's letter appear ing to be addressed to me personally, I have pre ferred answering it, while from home, to waiting my return to Mayo, there to submit it to a meeting of the boards of guardians.—l have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's very obedient servant, _ " LIICiN. " To the Right Hon. Lord John Russell." LORD ARUNDEL IN LIMERICK. _ _ _ On Monday last the Earl of Surrey, accompanied by Mr. W. Mousell, M.P., visited nearly all the Roman Catholic charitable institutions in Limerick, and left with each donations varying in amount from 101. to 501. ; the disbursements making in the aggregate the sum of 4501. Subjoined is his Lordshiy's reply to an invitation to a public banquet from a large body of his new constituents. " Gentlemen--•I sincerely thank you for this most cordial and gratifying address, and for the honour which you are pleased to confer upon me by inviting me to a public banquet. " I much regret that illness has deprived me of the pleasure I should have enjoyed by being among you shortly after the prorogation of Parliament. I have been recommended to pass some time abroad, with a view to the complete re-establishment of my health. Under these circumstances, as you have with most kind consideration given me choice of the time when I may have the honour of meeting you, I would sug gest the end of January as the most suitable period for that manifestation of your good will, and for the encouragement which it will give me before the duties of the session commence. ." I feel, indeed, your resolution and unanimity are the best proof of the determination of the people of Ireland to support the cause of the Church, of truth, and of justice. Your city is of all others the one best entitled to the high privilege of heading the Catho lics of the United Kingdo,m, in their just desire for equal religious rights. And although I feel that lam little worthy to be your representative, and that you have addressed,me in terms far more flattering than I merit, I will at least accept the one phrase— ' singleness of purpose.' " In a good and just cause, with that simple inten tion, I have no fear but that God will bless our disin terested exertions. I shall look forward to the time when you intend to honour me with this additional proof of your confidence and esteem. And I once more thank you for that distinguished mark of favour Conferred upon me by so numerous a body of my friends and fellow labourers in the struggle which we all have so much at heart." _ _ The deputation then returned to the Clare Hotel, where the comnaittee sat to fix on the day, and Tues day, the 27th day of January, was unanimously agreed upon. STRANGE STORY. We find the following in the Gazette des Tribu flaw, In 1814 Lord W— was colonel of an English regiment, and joined the allied army which invaded France. Shortly before his departure from Dover, where he was in garrison, the colonel marriEd a rich heiress, but he left her with her family whilst he went to encounter the risk of combats. The cam paign of France being terminated, nothing further was heard of the colonel ; it was known, however, that his regiment had been almost entirely destroyed in a combat with the French in the south of France, but his death not having been regularly proved, some law proceedings took place between the different members of his family respecting property to a very large amount. These proceedings, which are not yet terminated, will, no doubt, receive a solution fr om .ni the following singular circumstances :—Some time ago an old soldier, M. R_, residing the envi rons of Marseilles, came to Paris ori family quarter of t a h n e d c tookhausse e d u ph is , A re n s t i i d n e . nce n t ainnghroutn short of money,el in the o n n c a e l l h y im a he o e o b f e ,ggaendd as a ho g t n e a l- r k- an ee te p e er h , e M le .ll ft - - h m , o r oavdi‘s super. b gold watch, ornamented with diamonds, and on the back of which was the miniature of a lady, with the initials E . w_ . , , told the hotel keeper that in a combat, in 1814,in the south of France, he had wounded and taken pri soner an English colonel ; that the colonel dying almost immediately after of his wounds, his watch had remained in his hands. He recommended M. D— to take particular care of the watch, and he went away, some days ago, announcing that he would socn send by the messageries the sum lent, and demand restitu tion of the watch. Two days back there was such a numerous gathering of travellers in the hotel of M. D—, that he was obliged to give up his own room to over r an Englishman. On seeing the watch hanging the chimney the Englishman uttered a cry of su prise, and examined it closely. From the minia ture on the back, and the replies of the hotel rt of his his questions, he recognised it . as the p s r t o_pe acy Y pecu. brother, Colonel \V —.
