LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, March 31: Ths Lord Chancellor sat to-day in the Old Hall, Lin •eolsi's Inn, for the purpose of hearing petitions, lunatic poitions, and appeals. No case of any interest came xbrAors his Lordship during the whole morning. The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed till to-morrow his judgment in the case of " Chappel v. Purday." VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, March 31. (Before the VICE- CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.) MOSZLEY v. ALSTON.-THE OXFORD ♦ND BIRMINGHAM JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY. THE 1,011D3N AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This case came before his Honour by special appoint ment to-day, upon a demurrer put in by the defendants, to the bill filed by the plaintiffs. Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Mr. Stuart, Mr. Rolt, and Mr. G. Eussell, appeared in support of the demurrer; and Mr. .Bethel], Mr. James Parker, and Mr. Wilcox, were counsel for the plaintiffs in the cause. The bill was filed by the plaintiff Mr. Moseley, and three other shareholders in the Oxford and Birmingham Junction Railway Company, against the defendants, who are the acting directors of that company,. and against the company itself, for the purpose ot obtaining ati injunction against the defendants, or any of them, to restrain them from acting as directors ; and also for the purpose of having the common seal of the company de livered up to certain persons whom the bill stated to be the lawful di rectors o f the ccmpany. To this bill the demurrer was put in which now came on for argument. The bill filed by t he plaintiffs raised the important question, whether , at a certain time alluded to, accord ing to the provisions of the Act under which the Ox ford and Birmingham Junction Railway was formed, it was necessary that a certain number of directors should go out by rotation and be succeeded by others. The Act of Parliament for the incorporation of the Birming ham and Oxford Junction Railway was passed on the 3d of August, 1846, and by that Act a certain number of directors (twelve) were to be appointed, who were to !remain as directors until they were displaced, and suc ceeded by others. There were also provisions in the Bill for meetings, at which the shareholders could either continue the directors, or remove some of them and sub stitute others in their place. It appeared, according to the statements in the Bill, that a meeting was held, pur suant to notice, on the 31st of October last, at which several of the directors were continued as directors, and others retired, but at that meeting the number ot twelve was appointed. Another meeting was then held on the 27th of February, in the present year, which was continued by adjournment to a sub sequent day, and it was contended hy the bill that at that meeting a certain number of the directors ought to have gone out by rotation. No going out of directors took place, and the twelve gentlemen that had been previously appointed continued to be directors, and milder the power contained in the Act six new directors were elected and added to the 12 by the party with whom the four plaintiff's were connected. It further appeared that in pursuance of certain clauses in the sp ec i a l A c t of the company, which enabled it to amalgamate with the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley Railway Company, a Bill had been introduced into the House of Commons for effecting this amalgamation. The complaint contained in the bill was that at the meeting which was held on the 27th of February in the present year, four of the directors ought to have gone out by rotation, and have been succeeded by four others, and that such an arrangement not having taken place, the bill prayed an injunction restraining the directors from acting. Sir FITZROY KELLY, in support of the demurrer put in to the bill of the plaintiffs, submitted, at great length, that such a bill could not be sustained. The plaintiffs in that bill did not sue for themselves and all others, the rest of the company, neither did they sue on behalf of the company, but merely in their own names rand against the company of which they formed part. If this bill was maintained, he did not see why a similar bill should not be filed by every member of the company. The Learned Counsel, in support of this proposition, cited the cases of Foss v. Harbottle, decided by the Vice-Chancellor Wigram, and the Attorney General 'v. Wilson, decided by the present Lord Chancellor. If these directors were unwilling to exercise their functions, the company had an ample re medy in their own hands. The company might institute a suit in their own persons, though the corporate seal might he in the hands of some particular persons. The Act which established this was the Bth and 9th of Victoria. The 70th section of that Act provided that a certain number of shareholders might at any time, by writing under their hands, require their directors to call a special meeting. The Learned Counsel here cited the 74th sec tion of the Act, and continued: —Therefore it was quite +evident that a meeting called for the appointment of directors, or any other purpose, would have effected all *his Honour was called upon to do then. He would refer to a portion of the prayer, to illustrate the peculiarity attendant upon the proceedings in this case. The petitioners prayed that his Honour might order the seal of the Birmingham and Oxford Railway Company, together with all the funds and pro perty of that company, to be transferred to the hands of lawful directors. Now who were the lawful directors? Here were four shareholders requiring this, and per haps these four shareholders might not have 201. interest in the company. If there were any ground for the present proceedings, a mandamus from the Queen's Bench would have been the proper means to have adopted. (The Learned Counsel here read the 16th sec tion of the Act, which provided that the directors were to be elected at an ordinary meeting, and that the first ordinary meeting should be held six months after the passing of the Act.) Now a meeting was held in pur suance of that Act, and there was an election or conti nuance in office of the directors named in the Act. The special Act reterred to the general Act with respect to the election ot the directors, and that Act clearly intended that the dii ectors should remain in office for one year, and that the rota tion should not take place till the expiration of that - period. The Learned Counsel here quoted the 83d sec tion of the general Act, which he contended literally provided that the election of directors should be for year. If this interpretation were not adopted there could be no consistent construction put on the Act. It was found that the intention of the Legislature was affirmed in different other parts of the Act. Mr. STUART followed on the same side. The Learned Counsel directed his observations entirely to the allega tions of the bill. A meeting was held on the 13th of March. That meeting was held in the day-time, but was adjourned till five o'clock on the same evening. At the adiourned meeting Mr. Muntz presided, and a resolution was moved that such of the directors as were in office previously to the 27th of the preceding I' bruary should retire. That re solution the chairman refused to put to the meet ing, and the proceedings that took place then was one of the grounds for the course which had been adopted by the petitioners. The bill stated that at that adjourned extraordinary meeting the rotation of the re tirement of the directors was determined upon by the shareholders' present. A petition to Parliament was also agreed to, praying that the directors should be pre vented adopting any further proceedings in the affairs of the company. To that petition the chairman refused to affix the common seal of the company, upon which it was further resolved that six of the shareholders should be authorised to do the same. Here were six new directors appointed, who forthwith assumed to them selves the functions of the governing body. The bill then alleged that the direct ors b rought b efore Parlia ment Bills to which the company were opposed. After some other allegations to the same effect, they came to the prayer of the petition, which prayed that all the pro perty of the company should b e trans f erred to the six directors appointed at the extraordinary meeting re ferred to. That appointment could not be shown to be in conformity with the company's Act. If the prayer of this petition were acceded to, what a ridiculous po sition would the company be placed in ? Why, there would be no other human beings competent to act as directors except these six directors appointed at the adjourned extraordinary meeting. The Learned Counsel proceeded at great length to argue on the inconsistency of the bill. How could four share holders deal with the whole property of the company, when it could not be shown who authorise.' the present proceedings? They had not even the six new dir ec t ors there as complainants, they were actually in court as defendants. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to contend at grea t length that the elec tion of directorsin Octob er , 1846, continued them in office for twelve month s , according to the sections of the Special, and the Consolidation, Act. His Hosoutt—Between the 13th an d 88th sections there is a variance as to time. If you put such a con struction on the 13th section as fixes the word " then" to the time:expressed in the 13th section, th en you have only to follow the mode of election pres cr ib e d i n the 138th section, and there is reasonable construction of both sec:ions. said, that was the construction made 1 by the best opinions iu the land. Mr. STUART said, if so, they were about a very idle smatter. Ho thought they were trying against one of the best o pi n i ons in the land. Mr. BETH ELL--That was the decision of one of the be-t Opinions in the land. Mr. STUART—II that were Mr. Bethell's opinion it might be one of the bes: in the land. There is less dif ficulty in his (Mr. Stuart's) solution than that presented to his Honour on the other His Ho:whit—l only threw it out as one solution. You are not to treat it as entirely under the 88th sec tion, wholly disregarding what is said about time. rbe time, beyond question, is to b e at the first ordin ary meeting. Mr. BETHELL—The Ist section gave express power for the election of directors. His Hoxoun—The first ordinary meeting was in February. Was there to be an election of directors then, or not ? Mr. STUART—I say not; but, if such was the case, they might be elected, but could not enter into office. His Hoicoua-1 want to put some construction upon the two clauses The question was as to what was the best construction with tne least violence to language. I wish to see what is the intention, and what was said. Mr. STUART then resumed. Mr. ROLT followed in support of the demurrer, and contended at great length that there was no provision in the Odinpany's Clauses Act, which made it compulsory on any of the old directors to retire from office at the second half-} early meeting of the company, but that they continued in their situation of directors for one year of Office, which would expire in October, 1847. The Learned Gentleman had not concluded when the Court rose. Lord and Lady John Russell are expected to rema in in town during the holi da y s, owing to the delicate state of her Ladyship's health. We are happy to add, that lady John Russell has much improved within the last fort- ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—Bury St. Edmunds, March 29. THE ACTON 3itURDER.-SENTENCE OF DEATH. At the sitting of the Court this morning, at 9 o'clock, Catherine Foster was placed at the har to re ceive the fearful sentence which the verdict of Saturday entailed upon her. Proclamation having been made, The CHIEF BARON assumed the black cap, and pro ceeded to address the prisoner to the following effect:- 1 " Catterine Foster, you stand convicted of the crime of murder under circumstances which require no words of 1 aggravation from me. It is sufficient to state the fact, that you were married on Wednesday, the 18th of Oc tober, and on that day three weeks your husband died in consequence of the administration of poison. It is im possible to doubt that you prepared his food, and ad ministered it, and that yours was the hand which put the poison into it. These are facts which it is :impos sible to doubt, and it seems to be equally impossible to escape from the conclusion that your heart and mind went along with your hand, and that the poison was placed in that food for thedeliberate purpose ofprocuring the death of an individual with whom you had so lately formed at the altar of God a connexion the most sacred which can exist on earth between man and woman. I have no de sire to enter into the facts of this unhappy case beyond the expression of my entire concurrence in the verdict of the jury; and it only remains for me now to pass upon you the sentence of the law, which, whether in con formity with or obedience to the laws of God, requires that your life should be forfeited on the scaffold. I pray you to make the best use of the time now so short on earth, and to seek for peace and mercy, where alone they are to be found, at the throne of your Redeemer." The Learned JUDGE, whose voice was at times almost inaudible from emotion, concluded his solemn address to the prisoner by passing the last sentence of the law upon her in the usual form, and the prisoner was removed, as on Saturday, without any apparent appreciation of the position in which she stood. Not a single tear glistened in her eye, which was unobservant and inattentive— not a single contraction of the facial muscles betokened the inward workings of suppressed feelings; but calm and composed she received the sentence as she had lis tened to the overwhelming evidence adduced against her, and she descended from the dock to the dark cell beneath pith as light a step as if she had been convicted of an ordinary larceny. His LORDSHIP then disposed of the two or three re maning cases in the calendar, which were entirely divested of any features of public interest, and the Suf folk assizes terminated at twelve o'clock, as tar as the Crown side was concerned. The labours of his Lordship were materially lightened by the tact that the grand jury threw out, amongst others, four bills for arson, with respect to which class of offences the Learned Judge, in discharging the grand jury, took occasion to remark diet he highly approved their disinclination to find bills on weak evidence, which would, when subjected to a petty jury and sifted, fall to the ground. WESTERN ClACUlT.—Bodmin, March 29. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice CRESSWILL.) THE ST. 11A.Bni MURDER.—Mary Treverton, g€ d 30, was indicted for the wilful murder of Samuel Huckin, at the parish of St. Mabyn, on the 10th October. Mr. Rowe and Mr. Cornish for the prosecution ; Mr. Slade for the prisoner. The deceased was a cooper in the village of St. Mal)) n. He was a married man, and had before sod since his marriage carried on an illicit intercourse with the prisoner. who lived in the same neighbourhood. They had quarrelled on various occasions previous to the fatal deed. John Clements, a labourer, stated that on Satur , day, the 10th of October, he was passing along Den ' ham-bridge-lane, about a quarter before six o'clock in the morning, when he found the deceased lying upon his face. There is a house on the spot where the body was found, and the bead was close to the house. The back of his head was severely cut, and there was a quantity of blood upon it. The wall was covered with brains. His coat pocket was pulled down and torn. The coat was also torn up the back. William Perry, living at St. Mabyn, stated, that on the same morning the last witness came to his house and called him. He accompanied him to where the body of Samuel Hockin lay. He was not quite dead, but insen sible. He found a stone about fire feet six inches from the body, and• there was blood upon it. He afterwards saw it in the possession of the constable. On the Sun day before deceased's marriage witness visited deceased, who was then living with the prisoner. He saw Hockin standing with his head bleeding, and a few minutes after wards the prisoner came in. The witness went on to state that on that occasion a quarrel took place between the prisoner and deceased, and the former threatened to knock his brains out. Mr. Gaved, the surgeon, deposed that he was of opinion that such wounds as the deceased died of could be inflicted with the stone which was produced. He was present when the house of John Treverton was searched by West, the constable. In a bedroom upstairs West found a pair of shoes between two chaff mattresses. The heels of the shoes were turned down as if worn slip shod. They were wet, and the right shoe appeared to have been wiped or scraped. He observed some spots on the upper part of the right shoe, which he believed to be blood. Ann Hockin, the widow of Samuel llockin, said he was fifty years of age at the time of his death. The prisoner had been living with him before witness was married to him. After the marriage the deceased still continued to visit the prisoner, and he was on four occasions absent from witness all night. Three weeks subsequent to the marriage Mary Treverton and ise went away from the village and were absent about three weeks. Ever since the period of his return the deceased continued to live with witness—but .he had often seen him ut the prisoner's house. Deceased was at home en the evening of Fri day, the 9th Oct , and he went out at seven o'clock. Sh went to bed at twelve o'clock, and had never seen him alive from that time. She did not knuw whether he had any motley about him on the night, in question. He never gave her any money. Cross. examined—lie was continually visiting Mary Trevertou down to the time of his death. Witness had a child by the deceased. It was seventeen months old. He was quite sober when he left the house on the night of the 9th of October, but he had been drinking a little that day. John Hockin, son of the deceased by his first wife, saw his father and the prisoner together st Denham•bridge lane, about a month before the 9th October. The pri sener abused the deceased, saying " I'd blow thee and thy wife up with gunpowder, if there's any to be got to night betwc-en this and Bodmin." George Stephens, a shoemaker, at St. Niabyn, was at the prisoner'. house the night before the deceased was found dead. The prisoner lived with her father and mother and sister. The prisoner went Out a little before tan o'clock, and the deceased followed her. The latter appeared to have been drinking. The deceased and the prisoner appeared to be very good friends that night. They appeared to be very fond of each other at times. Mary Pooley said the spot on which the body was ' found was within sight of her bedroom window. Her house was between Treverton's house and that spot. On the morning of the 10th October, at ccck-crow, she heard a scuffle outside her wall as if a person was " dragging something along the road." She heard the voice of Samuel Hockin, repeating the words, " Let me go," twice. After this she heard another voice, but she did not identify it. They were going in the direction where he was found dead. About five minutes after wards she heard some person running back in the oppo site direction past her house. She heard no cry or scream. Jane Ham said the apartments she occupied were under the same roof where the prisoner lived. There was a passage between the two tenements, and a door in it. On the night of the 9th October she went to her bedroom about nine o'clock. The room in which she slept adjoined the bedroom in the prisoner's house. The partition was a very slight one, and in the course of the night she heard the passage door open several times. The last time she heard this was about four o'clock, and on that occasion, somebody went upstairs in Treverton's house. In the morning, about seven o'clock, Mary Dart came to the house, and said, " The cooper's brains are beat out." The prisoner answered, " Whoever could have the heart to do it?" Shortly afterwards the prisoner's father came in, and he said " The place is frightful where the old cooper was killed." He said something else, and the prisoner replied, " What, do you think I killed him? I didn't go further than the door with him." Mary Dart said she sat up the whole of that night in a kitchen which looked into the road. In the course of the night, between one and two o'clock, she observedla light in the kitchen window at Treverton's house. It was a moonlight nigh, and between two or three o'clock she observed a m . ".„a pass her window twice. He was dressed in a tight fustian coat and trousers. She thought it , ts,s Samuel Hockin. Between five and six o'clipek '.eat morning she left her own house and went into l'eeverton's passage. The door was not fastened, but ' freverton's door was locked or bolted. A few mi raltes afterwards the prisoner came down and opened the door. She had on a day cap, and her clothes appeared " crammed." Witness asked her if she had been to bed, and she replied " Yes." They then heard voices outside, and the prisoner looked out of window. Several people then came to the door and said, " lie is dead." Witness's little girl came in afterwards and stated that Samuel Hockin was found dead. The pri soner replied, " Who could be so cruel?" Witness asked her why she did not go out, tied she .aid she couldn't on any account whatever. Witness said she th night she s3w S. I.l.ckui pass by her window on the preceding night; and the prisoner made no answer. At that time G. Stephens came in and said, " In a few mi nutes your house will be searched." Whereupon the prisoner went up stairs and did not come down again until the constable arrived. West, the constable, said something to the prisoner's mother, who thereupon called her daughter down. She had no shoes on, and she took a pair of slipper:4 from under the stairs and put them on. The constable told her she mast go with him, and she said, " What do you mean by that?" The constable West produced the shoes, and some hair cut from deceased's head alter his death, also the stone, which still presented marks of blood, John Treverton, the lather of the prisoner, said that at s t s h w e o it t lf i l i n e on i nd i h q 3i u e l sr t eo i n ,mw s tehhewr there, theirtnv dy i tu a te, t,t4l youngest s at. house. There wa i e n h u i d i d w s o l e b e t d i s n . lli (me of them, an d M ary Trevertonin the oth e r. On the night of the 9th O ctober he went to bed at seven o'clock'. He was very unwell, and his son brought him a drop of ale after he went to bed. He could not swear to the prisoner's shoes. never took any notice of her shoes. The shoes yroduced were not his own nor his wife's. On the night of the 9th October the prisoner went to bed at half-past eleven o'clock. He was very wakeful the whole of that night. Mary did not go out during the night, and in the mornin g he saw her get up. Hockin had once promised the prisoner marriage. George Stephens was recalled to identify the shoes, and he stated tha'.; he believed them to be the prisoner's. lie was iti 0 20 /Obit of waking oboe* foc John Bligh, a shoemaker, proved that he made a pair of shoes last year for the prisoner. The shoes produced were mule by him, and they were similar to those made for the prisoner. 'lbis was the case for the prosecution. Mr. SLADE addressed the jury for the prisoner, and after commenting upon the whole of the case, contended most emphatically that the evidence was not sufficient to warrant them in finding a verdict of guilty. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL having summed up, the jury deliberated for a few minutes, and returned a ♦erdict of Not Guilty.—The prisoner clasped her hands for joy, and was immediately conducted out of court. The excitement caused by this trial was, as usual on such occasions, very great; and crowds of people were seen hastening towards the court at seven o'clock in the morning. It was remarkable that the majority of the spectators at the trial were females; and Mr. Justice Cresswell took occasion to observe, in the course of his summing up, that there were many women whose curio sity led them into scenes, from which the better feelings of human nature ought to exclude thcm. It was greatly to be regretted that such was the case, and the oppor tunity taken by his Lordship for alluding to the subject was, when he came to that part of the evidence where it was stated that the prisoner did not go out to see the body of the deceased. Some people, he said, were al ways anxious to avoid sights of horror, and others were actuated by the opposite feeling. The ladies present appeared fully to understand this rebuke from the Learned Judge. NORTH WALES ClRCUlT.—Beaumaris, March 26. (Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) CHARGE OF WILFUL MURDER.—Witham Pech and William Goodwill were indicted for the wilful murder of a:tioy, named John Martin, by cruelly beating and other wise maltreating him on board the brig Attie!stone, of which ship Peck was captain, and Goodwill first mate. The crime was alleged to have b:-en committed on the 4th of January last, whilst the vessel was on her voyage from Quebec to Swansea. Messrs. Townsend and Yardly were retained for the prosecution; the captain was defended by Mr. Temple, and the mate by Mr. Welsby. The brig left Quebec in November last, bound for Swansea. and on the day named in the indictment she was in the Eeglish Channel; a gale of wind had been raging, but it having partially subsided, all hand► were ordered on deck to make sail. In a short time it was found that the deceased had not come on deck with the mate's watch, to which he belonged; the mate went be low for the purpose of sending him up, when he found the ts iy i❑ the act of dressing. lie took a small line or piece of yarn, and beat the boy with it, and then stripping off his clothes except his under and flannel shirts, hauled hins on deck through the scuttle-holes; the mate went over to the lee side, and held the boy in the water, which broke heavily over the vessel, for about ten minutes; on being released, the deceased went below for the purpose of putting on his clothes; in about a quarter of an hour, the cap tain passed down to the forecastle, and was followed in a few minutes by the mate; shrieks end cries were heard by the crew on deck, as from a person in great agony, and the second mate was an eyewitness of the beating inflicted by the captain. The two officers were down for about a quarter of an hour, at the end of which time the lad was again forced on deck through the scuttle hole. At this time there was blood on his face. He was dragged aft, the captai❑ beating him along with a piece of rope near an inch thick, knotted at the end. During the whole of this time the boy had nothing on but the two shirts. The captain beat him for four or five minutes when on deck, and then ordered him to ascend the rigging to loose the mainsail. He afterwards ordered the second mate to go aloft, and thrash the boy to his duty, as he was sheltering from the clemency of the weather, on the lee side of the mast. The mate, howl ver, did not strike the boy, but hit the ropes instead. On descend ing the lad ev,es again beaten by the captain with the maintopsail halyerds, ropes three inches in circumference. The captain then took up a boathook, and struck afar. tin on the small of the back with it, using all his power and might; this was repeated five or six time, and the boy appeared as if dying; it was between five and six o'clock on an intensely cold winter morning, with a heavy sea running. The boy was next observed lying on the chain-cable, amidships, with no clothing on him; he was stretched on the cold iron, with his legs and feet uncovered, and appeared insensible. Soon after, he was carried down to his hammock by the mate and one of the crew, and in a short time after he expired. The body was covered with marks all over black and blue, as though he had been terribly beaten : on the follow. ing day it was consigned to the deep, the funerul service being performed by the captain. It appeared that the unfortunate boy was rather sickly, of tender constitution, and was troubled with a flux. He, however, was ca pable, when he chose, of taking his share in the working of the vessel. The first port the vessel arrived at wss Holyhead, where she was discharged and the crew paid off, when one of the men laid the information. The above evidence was sworn to by five of the crew, who generally agreed as to the severity of the beatings, the uncovered state in which the boy was, and the blows with the boathook, which was 13 or 14 feet long. The jury Acquitted Goodwill and found Peck Guilty of manslaughter, with a recommendation to mercy. He was sentenced to two years' hard labour. This case closed the assize. THE Fox CLUB.—The second meeting of the Fox Club this year was held on Monday evening at Brooks's, and among the distinguished noblemen and gentlemen who dined on the occasion were the Earl of Camperdown, Lord Stafford, Mr. Stepenson, Lord Marcus Hill, Sir Robert Adair, Lord Duncan, Colonel Keppel, Lord Cremorne, Mr. Wilbraham. Lord Sudeley, Mr. Denison, Dr. Lushington, Lord Acheson. Mr. Langston, and the lion. G. Byng. STATE OF TRADE.—AIA NCH ESTER, TUESDAY.— The advance in the Liverpool cotton market is again deram: ing businiss here. In consequence of this but little business has been done to-day in either cloth or yarn, producers generally asking higher prices, which buyers are not disposed to concede. Upon the whole, the feeling is tolerably health). The advance in cotton is likely to lead to a still further ex tension of the short-time system ; for to obtain any adequate advance here is quite out of the question, notwithstanding that the home trade is tolerably ac:►ve, and there are very favourable tokens that we shall have a large trade with the United States, as also, probably, with India, China, and Russia. The balance of exchange, however, is not likely to be favourable for some time; though it is not thought there will be such extensive emissions of bullion as some public writers surmise. The large business, for instance, which our manufacturers will have with the States will act as a salutary check on the drain of gold, so far as they are concerned. TRIGONOMETRICAL SURTEYS.—A return, moved for by Mr. J. Hume, shows that since 1791 up to the present time, an aggregate amount has been paid in England, Ire land, and Scotland, on account of the survey of counties and the trigonom , trical surveys, of 1,462.522/. ; viz., 608,6871. in England, 817,5121. in Ireland, and 36,322/ in Scotland. The total number of impressions of the Ordnance maps of England and Wales sold to the public since 1825 amounts t0112,710i, and the gross amount received for the same is 35,5401. The number of sheets of the Irish Ordnance maps sold to the pub lic since 1833 amounts to 119,000, and the gross amount re ceived for the maps sold is 24,3001. ARCHEOLOGICAL INSTITUTE.—The annual meet ing of the ological Institute will take place at Norwich between Thursday, the 25th of July. and Satuday, the 7th of August. Excursions will be made to Ely, Bury St. Edmund's, and Yarmouth; and Mr. Dawson Turner has proffered his extensive stores of curiosities of every kind for the use of the institute. The Bishop of Norwich is the pre sident of the meeting.—Cambridge Chronicle. DISTRESSING SUICIDE.—On Tuesday afternoon an inquest was held before Mr. Baker, at the Three Crowns, East-road, Shoreditch, on the body of Mr. Reynolds, late an oil and colourman in the Cit y -road. It appeared that some time since he received a bill for 120/., which he was unable to pay, and being pressed by his creditors, he became very low spirited. On Saturday night last he appeared unusually de sponding, and retired early to his bed-room. On the follow ing morning he was discovered by his daughter, in bed, quite dead. On his dressing table was found a bottle, containing prussic acid, and a piece of paper, which stated he had cons znitted suicide.—Verdict, Temporary Insanity. THE MARY MITCIIELL.—The Foreign-office has transmitted to Lloyd's a copy of a dispatch trom her Ma jestv's Consul at Lisbon, reporting the British brigantine, Mary Ann Mitchell, Broders master, bound from Waterford to Galatz, in ballast, having sprung a leak, 2d inst., in lat. 39, lon. 11, and was abandoned in a sinking state, by the crew, who were taken up by the British schooner Belle, and landed at Lisbon on the 6th inst. THE HELEN SCOTT.LAdispatch has been received at Lloyd's, from the Admiralty, enclosing the copy of a letter from the officer in command of the Fearless, ordered by Rear-Admiral Sir H. Pigot to proceed to the assistance of the Helen Scott, merchant brig, on shore at the Cove of Cork, who reports that, should the weather moderate, the vessel may be got off. The public will naturally feel most anxious to obtain a view of such parts of the new Palace of Westminster as are now nearly completed. We have reason to believe that the most probable course for facilitating this object will be, that her Majesty will command the Lord Great Chamber lain to give admission to the public on the days on which there is no business before the House of Lords, under the best regulations he can make for the general convenience. UNITED SERVICE INSTITUTION.—The Count de 3lontemolin, accompanied by the Chevalier de Berardi and General Montenegro, visited this institution on Tuesday. The prince was received by the chairman and vice-chairman of the council, Captain W. /I. Smyth, R.N., and Major Shad well Cler.ie, and the secretary, and passed about two hours examining the various collections of arms, models, and natural history. After visiting the library, the prince was received in the council-room, and entered his name as a member of the institution in the autograph register, and expressed the high gratification this visit had afforded him. Amongst the officers present, were Sir Charles Malcolm, Col. Spencer Stanhope, Colonel Harmer, Colonel Angelo, General Kenah, Captain Ford, Captain Cr"fton, Lieut. Raper, Colonel Sabine, &c. Lard James and Miss Stutrt, Mrs. and Miss Smyth, Sir William Kay, and Sir Henry tie la Behe were alto present. SACRED HARMLiNIC SOCIETY.—The Messiah, of Handel, was performed, at Exeter Hall, last evening, for the only time during the present season. SUDDEN DEATH DURING DIVINE SERVICE AT WiNosua Cnuncii.—Considerable alarm was created at the church of St. John, during Divine service on Sunday morn ing, in consequence of a lad named Henry Doe, the son of Mr. Doe, in the department of the Master of the Horse, at Windsor Castle, being seized with death, just after the com mencement of the sermon. An attack of apoplexy was sup rosed to have been the cause of death. BEDFORDSHIRE ELECTION.—On Tuesday morning the election of a knight of the shire to serve in Parliament for this county, in time room of the late William Astell, Esq., was held at Bedford, the only candidate who had addressed the electors being Lord Charles RUssell. The Noble Lord having been proposed by Richard Orleber, Esq., and seconded by Charles Barnett, Esq., was declared to be duly elected ; and having given an exposition of his political views, the proceedings terminated, after a vote of thanks to the high sheriff, who presided.

Two respectable youths, named Rowland and Perry, were brougnt before Mr. Combe, charged by William Jackson, a Wtsleyan Methodist preacher, under the following circumstauces:— . _ _ The complainant stated that he rented, for the pur poses of public worship, some premises adjacent to Old St. Pancras-road, and usually had a kind of Sunday-school there. On Tuesday night, about half past seven o'clock, he was preaching in the chapel, which was, as usual in such places, open inais criminately to all persons who chose to enter, when he was much annoyed by a number of boys in the body of the chapel, who were behaving very irreve rently ; and as he had been before frequently annoyed in a similar manner, he gave the two prisoners into cust•dy. Mr. CoMaE—You must state more definitely what those two lads have done, as yet I can see nothing to criminate them. The complainant—Why they were there, and there was great noise and contusion, and one of them made faces at me and said I should nut put his brother out. Mr. COMBE—As yet, I can see no grounds for the charge. The complainant—Before the living Gad I have stated the facts. Mr. COMM: (with emphasis)—You are already sworn, Sir. Such appeals are unbecoming. The complainant—What I have said is a Scriptural phrase. Mr. ComnE—That may be, but it is unnecessary. We are not in the habit of hearing such confirmations of statements wher. the witness is sworn upo❑ the Tes tament. Another witness, a Sunday school teacher, was sworn, but was unable to state the slightest fact showing that the prisoners had misconducted tnemselves. Mr. COMBS said, before a party took the liberty of giving another i❑ charge, as was done in this case, by which those two poor boys were locked up all night in a felon's cell, he should be prepared to support his charge with evidence. Not one tittle had been shown by either of the witnesses to establish the accusation against either of those lads, and he should therefore order theta to be at once discharged; but he should, at tho same time, tell Mr. Jackson that it the boys' parents or next friends chose to bring an action against him for false imprison ment, he must take the consequence, for it was too bA that boys of respectable character like the accused should be locked up all night in the cold cell of a station-house, and then in the morning their accuser not have one par ticle of evidence to offer in support of his charge. The boys then left the court, accompanied by their parents, who expressed themselves fully determined to t ike legal proceedings against Mr. Jackson fur false im prisonment. WORSHIP-STREET. John Price, late a collector in the service of the Corn missi 'tiers of Pavement of the Whitechapel district, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, the sitting magistrate, for re examination, charged with having embezzled varicus sums, amounting to 701., which he had received in the capacity of collector, apointed by them. Mr. Jennings, clerk to the Commissioners, stated that the prisoner had filled the situation of collector about six years, but, at a meeting of the board on the 19th of February last, was discharged from his situation. It was the duty of the prisoner, anituaDy, to send in a re turn of his accounts to be audited, but upon this occa sion he only produced his books, from an examination of which, it appeared that there was a balance of 61 14s, due from him to the Commissioners, for rates he had received. As the prisoner tacitly admitted that to be the amount of his liability, by handing over that sum a few days afterwards. It was discovered by his sue c( ssor, however, upon going to the rate-payers, that rates to the amount of 701. had been received uy him, and he was given into custody. The officer who had taken the prisoner into custody, said that on the way to the police station, at the pri soner's request, they went to Mr. Jennings' offices, where the prisoner sent for one of his sureties, with a view of inducing him to enter into an additional security for the amount of his defalcations, but the witness on that occasion refused to be a party in any compromise in the matter, and he took him to the station-house. Mr. Jennings stated that there were, in addition, several cther cases of a similar description against the prisoner. The prisoner's solicitor contended that the evidence adduced was wholly insufficient to establish any really criminal conduct on behalf of the prisoner, who had not had sufficient time allowed him to account for the amounts in dispute. Mr. BROUGUTON, however, thought that he was bound to commit the prisoner on the score of embezzlement, but took bail for his appearance at the sessions, himself in 4001., and two sureties in 1501. each. MR. O'CONNELL IN PARIS. From private letters it appears that the arrival of Mr. O'Connell in Paris had produced a considerable sensa tion. Although his medical advisers found nothing alarming in his case, they had, however, deemed it ex pedient that he should remain within doors in the wet and changeable weather that had succeeded to the late heats. On Saturday and Sunday the visitors and in quirers were numerous. Among the former were Lord Holland, the Archbishop of Paris, the President of the Irish College (the Rev. Dr. M'Swceney), Archdeacon Keating, Sir Richard O'Connor, Colonel Romilly, the Marquis de la R')chejacquelin, &c. Among the latter was the Marquis of Nortnatiq," At about two o'clock btl Sunday the members of the electoral committee instituted for the defence of religious freedom waited on Mr. O'Connell, to oiler him their con gratulation, and to tender to him their respecttul sym pathy. At their head were the Marq iis de Barthelemy, Peer of France; Viscount de Failoux, Count Qaatre bArbes, and Messrs. Clappier and Du Rozier, Deputies; the Marquis de Dampierre; Messrs. L4normant and Mauvais (members of the Institute), baron de Montigny (Judge of the Royal Court), Viscount de Bonneuil (Pre sident of the Petition Committee), Messrs. Decoux and Veuillot, editors of the Unistrrs, &e. When all the members were introduced into the saloon of Mr. O'Con nell, the President of the committee (Count de Mont alembert) addressed him in the following terms—and which, we suppose, left the Learned Gentleman nothing to desire in tne way of compliment:-- " Sir and illustrious Friend,—When I had the plea sure of seeing you fur the first time, sixteen years ago, in your castle of D rrynane, on the shores of the Atlan tic, the revolution of July had just taken place, and your solictude was already ardently direc;ed towards the future stability of religion in France. I heard with respect your wishes and your lessons. You then pointed out to us the course we should pursue, and the rules we should follow, in order to emancipate the enure!' from the temporal yoke by legal and civic means, and at the same time to separate religion from all political causes. I am happy to have it in my power to show you that your lessons have fructified amongst us. lam come to present to you the men who in France have enrolled themselves as the first soldiers under a banner you were the first to unfurl, and which will now endure for ever. We are all your children, or rather your pupils ; you are our mas ter, our model, our glorious preceptor. It is for that rea • soli we are come to tcnderyou the affectionate and respect ful homage we owe to the man of the age who has done most for the dignity and liberty of mankind, and espe cially for the political instruction of Catholic nations. We admire in you the man who has accomplished the noblest achievement that can be given to man to con ceive in this world—the man who without shedding a drop of blood has reconquered the nationality of his country and the political rights of 5,000,000 Catholics. We are come to salute in you the liberator of Ireland, of that nation which has always excited in France fraternal feelings. But you are not only the man of one nation, you are the man of all Christendom. Your glory is not only Irish, it is catholic. Wherever Catholics begin anew to practise civic virtues, and devote themselves to the conquest of their legitimate rights, after God it is your work. Wherever religion tends to emancipate itself from the thraldom in which several generations of sophists and legists have placed it, to you, after God, it is indebted. May that thought fortify you, revive you in your infirmities, and console you in the afiliction with which your patriotic heart is now overwhelmed. The wishes of Catholic France, of truly liberal France, will accompany you in your pilgrimage to Rome. The day of your meeting with Pius IX.—when the greatest and most illustrious Chris tian of our age shall kneel at the feet of a Pontiff who recals to our recollection the most brilliant period of the Church, will be a truly momentous event in the history of our time. If in that instant of supreme emotion your heart should entertain a thought not absorbed by Ireland and Rome, remember us; the homage of the affection, respect, and devotion of the Catholics of France for the chief of the Church could not be better placed than on the lips of the Catholic liberator of Ireland." ACCIDENT TO LORD JIIN SCOTT.—We regret to 0 ---- state that his Lordship met with a severe accident whilst hunting, near Kelso, on Saturday last. In taking a leap his horse fell upon him, and broke a small bone of one of his legs, and dislocated his ancle. His Lordship was conveyed to his noble brother the Duke of Buccleuch's seat, Bowhill, where the leg was set. His Lordship, we are glad to learn, is going on favourably. SUPPOSED ATTEMPT AT CHILD MURDER.—On Monday night, about twelve o'clock, as police-constable 70 G. was proceeding un his beat in Gilhanes-tields, Worship street, he heard faint cries of a child, and presently he espied in a niche a frail basket, which proved to contain a Eve male child, about three days old, with its feet uppermost. The poor little infant, on being taken trout the basket, was bleeding profusely trout the mouth and nose, and nearly 'unheated. Its hands were also nearly covered with blood. The child, who was roost respectably dressed in long clothes, was sent by Mr. Inspector Uravestock to St. Luke's workhouse, where it was promptly attended to, and the little foundling is now going on favourably. THE STEAM FRIGATE DAUNTLESS. —This splendid new steam-ship has now reached the mouth of the Clyde, on her way to the Broomielaw, where she is to be fitted ith her powerful and beawitul machinery. On her voyage from Portsmouth, where she was built, she has encountered very stormy and squally weather , and her progre , s under her towing convoy has been consequently slow. In one of the heavy gales by which she was assailed, she lost her rnizen , mast, and will in consequence take up her berth at the Brootnielaw equipped somewhat like a brig. She reached Campbelton on tke evening of Wednesday se'nnight, and in her disabled condition was necessarily making but little way, the comparatively unasisted power of the towing steamer being inadequate to impel so large a vessel with much speed. It is expected, nevertheless, that she will be safely moored alongside the Lancefield Quay in the beginning of next week, where her engines are to be put on board, these having been prepared by Robert Napier, Esq., of the Vulcan and Lance field Foundries. The engines, which are to work on the horizontal principle, are admirable specimens of mechanism, and of nearly 800-horse power.—Glasgow Citizen. DESTRUCTION OF CITY CHURCHES. — It is reported in the City, that the church of St. Benet, Gracechurch-street, is shortly to be removed, and that many others will era long share the same fate. The churches of London are amongst the most valuable works which the country possesses, and we deplore the removal of any of them.—The Builder. BANK RETURNS. (From the London Gazette.)

Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat for our market have been but limited, consequently, the stands were by no means heavily filled with samples. All kinds met a very dull inquiry, at a decline in the quotations of Is. per quarter for the most inferior qualities. In Foreign NI heat so little was doing that prices were almost nominal. The Barley trade was in a very depressed state; nevertheless holders would not submit to further reduced figures. Superfine White Malt was quite as dear, but all other kinds might have been purchased on easier terms. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour were a mere drug. . _ _ English • • Irish. ..... .
