IRELAND. DUBLIN, JAN. 14.—The meeting of Irish peers and gentry, i held this day at the Rotunda, was in all respects the in imposing and important assemblage that has taken place in Ireland for many a day. To give anything like a correct reps •rt of the procee•bugs ohm be impossible, the Corn ' raittee, for some itirdivulged reason, having thought proper of what was done to exclude the preis. Enough,. however, tvthecriclusion, that if the arid said has transpired to tne. jua n ti i6v future proceedings of movement party " be charac terised distinguished the meet of- unanimity which terised by the same t must be beneficial to Ireland. this day, the result It is certainly a new feature in Irish society to see men of all ranks, politics, and creeds, endeavouring to for g et former feuds, and profess their anxiety to elevate their country and their fellow man in the social scale. Heretofore Ireland has been the battle ground of faction ; for once her children appear to have abandoned their foolish disputes about the colour of a ribbon, or the complexion of a creed. They have learned wisdom in the records of the past, and entered into a covenant with one another to be prudent for the future. For the following abstract of the proceedings we are in debted to the editor of the Evening Freeman. Among those present were the Marquis of Ormond, the Marquis of Sligo, the Marquis of Drogheda, the Earl of Erne, the Earl of Mot •wn. the Earl of Clonms I. Viscount Mascarene, Lord Farnham, Lord Cloncurry, Lord tVallscourt, Lord Dun sandle, Lord Clarina, Lerd Castlemaitie; Dawiel O'Connell, M.P.; the Rioht lien. Frederick Shaw, M.P.; William Smith O'Brien. M.P. • George Alexander Hamilton, M.P.; John O'Connell, M.P.; Anthony Lefrov, M.P.; William Collett, M.P.; Alex. M`Carthy, M P.; Hugh Morgan Tuite, M.P.; William B. M'Clintock Bunurv, • M.P. ; Benjamin Chapman, M.P.; Cornelius O'Brien, M . .P.; Robert Arch bold, M.P,; Henry Grattan, M.P.; Edward Grogan, M.P.; Fitzstephen French, M.P.; Ralph Osborne, M.P. ; Major Macnarama, M.P.; Viscount Bernard M.P. ; Lieutenant- Colonel Taylor, M.P. ; Richard Smithwick, M.P.; R.M. Bellew, M.P. • M. E. Coibally, M.P.; James Power, NIA'. ; Lieutenaut.Celonel Acton, M.P.; Viscount Milton, M.P. On the motion of the Earl of CHAILLEMONT. seconded by Lord FARNHAM, the Marquis of Ormonde was called to the chair. Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE, addressing the chair, suggested that the reporters of the public press be permitted fully to record and publish the proceedings. He dwelt at soma length on the necessity of having the proceedings of a meeting so influential, in point of rank and numbers, fully placed before the public. The Hon. Mr. MONK, one of the Secretaries, observed that an understanding was come to at the committee not to have the meeting partake of the character of a public meeting, but rather of a conference of the Irish gentry ; that, however, the gentlemen of the press were all accommodated with tickets of admission, with permission to give the public a general view of the object, character, and proceedings of the meeting. We are not yet aware whether the reporters will be permitted fully to transcribe their notes ; and as they were admitted on the faith of submitting to the rules of the meeting, it would be a breach of that faith to fully pub lish the proee dings without the express assent of the Com mittee. We shall, however, endeavour to convey to our readers an accurate impression of the tone and temper of this most important meeting—one highly pregnant with hope for the future of Ireland. Our readers will see by the list of those in attendance that numbers of the aristocracy of every poli tical sect were present, and that the list of gentry exhibits a combination of creeds, and sects, and parties such as never before existed in Ireland. Several letters of apology were read, including letters from the Marquis of Glonyngham, Lord Glengall, Lord Kil maine, the Hun. Frederick Shaw, Sir E. Hayes, Sir Gerald Aylmer, Grogan Morgan, Theophilus Nugent, Gen. Conyng ham, James Hamilton, A. O'Connor, Conway Dobbs, J. Hyde (Castle Hyde), N. Wally, E. Smyth, &c., &c., &c., highly approving of the proposed union of Irishmen, and of the general objects of the meeting. - Sir MoNTAGU Cum-max addressed the meeting in an elo quent and useful speech, and dwelt upon the dire character of the visitation with which this country was afflicted, and on the total inadequacy of the present measures of the Go vernment to Meet the exigencies of the case. He dwelt upon -the necessity of forcing the Government to import food for the people, and to permit their false theories of trade to sacrifice the lives. of the people of Ireland. He entered at some length into the project of an Irish party, and strongly urged the necessity of its prompt formation and united action. Having recounted the labours of the re productive committee, he moved that C. Stanley Monk, Sir C. Loghlen, Wm. Monsell, and Richard Bourke, Esqs., act as secretaries to the meeting. Mr. GROGAN, M.P. for Dublin, seconded the resolution, and in a short speech gave his full adhesion to the proposed Irish party, to its object, and the laws of its formation. At this stage of the - proceedings, Mr. O'Connell entered the room, and was received with loud and enthusiastic cheers by the whole meeting. Mr. Geonos A .....LEXANDEIL HAMILTON, M.P., proposed the first _resolution, which is as follows :—" That we deem it our duty most earnestly to impress upon our representatives, our solemn conviction of the necessity of their now co operating cordially in Parliament for the advancement of the interests of Ireland; and of their uniting to advo cate such measures as may appear calculated to raise the social, material, and moral condition of the people, to save society from the ruin by which all classes in the land are now threatened, and to preserve the property of the country trom confiscation." The Honourable and Learned Gentlensan proceeded at great length to develop the necessity that existed fuc union amongst Irishmen—declared that an Irish party was not any project, but was already a thing effected, as the proud array of names published in the public journals of the day proclaimed.—(Loud cheering fol lowed this declaration.) He proceeded to say, that he bound himself to the principles of that union, and would devote all his energy and time to the working out its object, and seek ing the advancement of Ireland, totally heedless of all party and sectarian interests. Mr. Hamilton made a very able speech, dwelt on the necessity of " first," and above all things, to bring food for the people, " to save," to use their own expressive words, " such of the people as can yet be saved." Mr. O'CONNELL rose to second the resolution. He was greeted with loud and repeated cheers. He expressed his full concurrence in all that fell from Mr. Hamilton. He, too, was for the formation of a neutral but united Irish party. No compromise of any prirciole by ant man, but a vow by all to unite for the salvation of the people and the permanent interests of Ireland. He dwelt with his wonted force upon the terrible calamity that spread itself over the land—death was the first enemy they had to en• counter; and fbr this purpose they should unite' to compel the Government, at any cost of money, to save the lives of the people by procuring immediate and abundant supplies of food for them. All other objects were but ancillary to that great 11 , 3 l —(Loud cheering f Bowed this.) Food, then, was the first object.— (Che s log again.) He then commented on the calumny of the Times against the gentry and people of Ireland. His caustic remarks of the insolent attacks of the Irish nation were heard with loud plaudits. He eulogised the gentry and clergy of all sects—invoked a blessing on the new Irish Union, and pledged himself to full and cordial co-operation. forgetful of men's differences, mindful only of Ireland and her interests. (The Liberator resumed his seat amid loud and repeated cheering from all parts of the room.) The resolution was carried unanimously, and with repeated plaudits. Mr. C. DILLON, of Fermoy, spoke to the resolution, eulo gised the committee, and referred to the unanimity ot 'B2 as an example of what might be now done. Mr. B..OSIIOIiNE was of opinion that the meeting should look to food as the first object to be sought for by the union. —(Cheers.) He wished to know whether that meeting would authorise the Irish members and English members, such as himself, to propose an amendment to the address in case ministers refused to supply food to the people.—(Tre mendous cheering) He was a supporter of this Government, but he was a more ardent supporter of the right of the Irish people to live —(Repeated plaudits which continued several minutes.) No minister ought to be permitted to hold office who would not at once feed the people, and this an united party coulddo.—(Repeated cheers.) Mr. IllortsELL, of Tervo, observed that the reception given to the suggestion plainly showed the feeling of the Irish gen try as to the areat immediate object—food,' and the necessity of fogcing the Government to do its duty. If Mr. Osborne put a roofql s, to that effect, it would, beyond question, be carried with almost perfect unanimity..:but he would suggest that the determination of the course to be taken in Parlia ment belt ft to the men who formed the Irish Parliamentary party—(Cheersr)—in them they had confidence, and to them it would be safe to leave the decision. The Earl of ERNE proposed the next resolution; it was as follows oss " That before and beyond all other considerations is the salvation of the lives of the people; and we therefore deem it our solemn duty—the present system having signally failed —to call upon the Government in the most imperative terms to take such measures as will secure local supplies of food sufficient to'keep the people alive, and to sacrifice any quan tity of money that may be necessary to attain the object, de claring, as we do, that. any neglect or delay in that matter wilt - render the Government responsible for the safety of the people of Ireland, who must perish in multitudes unless sup plied with food." That as the people of this country are suffering from a most extraordinary and i nca l cu l a bl y extensive deficienc3 in the stock of food .we further c a ll upon t h e Government' to remove all artificial impediments to the supply of that defi ciency, by the temporary suspension of the navigation laws and the duties on the importation of corn, and also to give in creased facilities to that navigation, by permitting such ves sels of her Majesty's navy as can be spared to be employed in the transport of provisions. " That we consider it would be most desirable that the unrestricted use of sugar and molasses in our breweries and distilleries should be permitted, under existing circumstances, in order to save fur the more useful purposes a portion of the grain now used in those establishments. "That we recommend that relief committees should be allowed to sell food under first cost to the destitute in their respective neighbourhoods, and that their doing so should not cisentitle them to Government contributions in aid of their fends." The reading of these resolutions was received with loud cheers. The Noble Earl pledged hiinsuif to support the Irish party If that party would seek tired tier the people.._ (Cheers.), Unity now was essential, and if the country was to be, saved, it was by union alone it could be dine. Colonel Duman D.L seconded the resolution. The people should, bane fOnil. tie was a political supporter of the Gove'rMitiht, but there was a greater and a better party for which they -hould first work—their country.—(Cheers.) a Mr. WALKER, ex-M.P. for Wexford, supported the resolu -176• Wexford, the richest county in Ireland, was reduced Thee common level of the most distressed parts of Ireland.

"That we have heard with alarm reg►et, tat in man - c land has not been y di,tricts in Ireland the usual exteX f cultivation, pwin— pr..paretl, and cannot be prepared, for thf , poverty of the occupants, and consequently 14, to during the ensuing year; and while we confidentlywill be waste the. exettions of the landed proprietors to protect ii'relr on try from the great evils which must follow from such'sac°7 lect, we cannot avoid calling the special attention of Gover n moot to the alarming reports which have reached us on this mport ant subject. " That it is an ascdrtained fact, that the supply of seed in thi i country will be deficient, and to meet this evil we earnestly tecornmend that seed depots be established by Go verninent.'7 He spoke with much earnestness on the state of destitu tion in his County (Cork), and regarded it as a most fella cioas principl e o f political economy, as it was called, that the people of the district of Bantry, who could boast of two of the most capacious harbours in the world, would not be allowed, in consequen ce of the operation of this principle, to ship from any country a sufficiency.of food for the starving population. 1 Mr. WYNNE, of Hazzlewood, in seconding the resolution, said he though the people of England had not a just or cor rect idea of the extent of the distress in this country. He THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORN IN fully concurred in the resolution, that the Labour-rate Act was not suited to the condition of the country ; and that measures should be taken to supply the people with food, and to enable them to cultivate the ground. Lord FARNHAM proposed the next resolution. He said no man in the country was more proud of the present meeting than his Lordship.—(Cheers.) He said the people had not seed, nor, was it in the country, had they even the money to purchase it. In his county (Cavan) there were 27,000 men on the public works, yet the most unexampled distress prevailed in the whole county. lie feared that the next year would be worse.—(Hear, hear.) He was most anxious to put an end to party and dissension, and com bine all parties in one compact body, for the good of Ire land.—(Loud cheers.) That while we affirm that it is the clear and paramount duty of the State to take care that provision be made for the destitute, we regret that the means hitherto adopted for that purpose have, on the one hand, proved incommensurate with the evil ; and, on the other hand, have induced the ex penditure of vast sums of money upon useless or pernicious works. "That this most wasteful expenditure, tending, as it does, to diminish our resources, and to increase the probabilities of future famine, has not been the result of neglect on the part of the resident proprietors of Ireland, but of an impolitic and pernicious law, which they have been compelled to carry into effect, notwithstanding repeated protests to the contrary. "That though entirely acquiescing in the justice of im posing upon the land the repayment of all money advanced for reproductive purposes, we solemnly protest, in the name of the owners and occupiers of land in Irelanc, against the principle of charging exclusively on their property, the money which they have been forced to waste on unproductive woi ks. "That the destruction of the staple food of millions of our fellow subjects cannot be considered in any other light than that of an imperial calamity; and we claim it as our right, that the burden arising from it, so far as it has been ex pended on unproductive works, shall fall on the empire 4 large, and not be thrown upon Ireland alone, much less upon those classes iu Ireland which have suffered most severely from it. "That though considering the present Labour Rate Act as a most mischievous measure, to be laid aside whenever a better system can be introduced, yet in order to prevent the continuance of the present waste of money, we call upon the Legislature to amend that Act , by enabling such proprietor to take upon himself his proportion of the baronial assessment, to be expended in reproductive works upon his own property, and thereby to discharge himself from any further taxation in respect to that particular assessment; and that the objects to which this taxation shall be applied, should be extended to all permanent im provements of the land." Several other speakers addressed the meeting, and at half past five adjourned. LAW IN T FLLIGERCE. ROLLS' COURT, Jan. 16. FISHER V. OLIVER. The arguments in this case having been conluded to-day, His LORDSHIP said he had not the least hesitation in stating that he could not interfere in this matter unless the plaintiff undertook to establish the validity of his patent at law. That undertaking being made, he should read the affidavits, and consider the propriety of grant ing an injunction to restrain the defendants from acting so as to infringe the patent until the issue at law should have been tried. VICE-CHA NCE BY COURT, Jan. 16. BALDWIN V. DAMER. This"was a motion for an injunction to restrain the defendants, who were twenty-two of the members form ing the provisional committee of a project, called the Great Munster Railway, from receiving out of Court a sum of 21,600/. ; or, if they should already have received it, then to restrain them from employing it in paying off tie liabilities of the company. The undertaking, which has now been abandoned, was for the formation of a railway from Tralee to Dublin. The advertisements stated that the capital was to be divided into 22,000 shares, of 50/. each, and that a deposit of 21. 103. was to Le paid upon each share. It appeared that the directors had reserved to themselves 4,000 shares, that they had also reserved 4,000 shares for general purposes, and 900 fur the solicitor to the company, 650 for the engineer, and 300 for the secretary. They then contrived, by selling 3,000 shares, and purchasing them again at a premium, to raise the quotation in the market. The bill charged the directors with gross misconduct, and with having improperly managed the affairs of the company. The defendants, in their affidavits, stated that they had not any knowledge of these transactions, but had offered every opportunity to the shareholders to investigate the accounts, and it was contended that en in junction ought not to be granted to restrain them from paying off the just debts and liabilities of the company. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, if the injunction had been asked to restrain the defendants from improperly dealing with the funds of the company, there might have been some reason in it; but this was to restrain them from applying the money in any manner whatever. It was very possible that some of the directors had acted wrong in the management of the affairs, but the funds could not be disposed of without the sanction of all the directors, amongst whom were some gentlemen of the highest respectability. He did not think it right that so sweeping an injunction should be granted, which would include the innocent as well as the guilty, and it was evi dent that there were liabilities which ought to be dis charged; he should, therefore, refuse the injunction. done by the plaintiff had been done without competent authority—at any rate no ascent by the defendant was proved. Mr. Justice ERLE then summed up the evidence, and remarked that there could be no doubt that Mr. Parrott did cause the advertisements of the com pany to be inserted in th, newspapers, and that he had paid for them to a much larger extent than the sum which he sought would cover. The Learned Counsel for the defence had raised a number of objections, for which he had apologised to the jury, but it was his bounden duty to protect his client in every wey, and he hai shown con.Llerable learning and inge nuity in doing so. The question which was mainly for th-ir consideration was, whether the defendant had given sufficient authority to the provisional committee to act in his absence. The mere tact of his being on the provisional committee list would not render him liable, but on the 24th of September a resolution was passed in the defendant's presence, which would necessarily incur the expense of advertising and the costs of the solicitor. The defendant had in this case not been merely a dor mant committeeman, but he acted with the rest, and therefore as being a member of a body, uniting to act for one purp-se, he was to a certain extent liable. The Learned Judge then recapitulated the evidence briefly, and the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, 1,1001. COURT OF EXCHEQUIER, Jan. 16. BIDDER V. FITZGERALD. In this cause, which was tried before the Lord Chief Baron, at the last sittings at Westminster, as an unde fended cause, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. The plaintiff was a country solicitor, and brought his action to recover a sum of money, alleged to he due to him for prolessional services rendered on behalf of the Birmingham and Daventr); h J e u p ii r c o t v io il ß na r l il e w , a in y in , t f t e w e . hic lt t th he e dfe ti e trie ti a f it was t i hejur e y he gi t ing in their 'verdict the Lord Chief Baron took occasion to remark upon the reckless mode of their the verdict for a sum larger than even that claimed by the plaintiff's counsel, and which was not supported by the least evidence. Mr. PEACOCK now moved to set that verdict aside. The reason the cause was not defended arose from the fact of the solicitor, who was instructed to defend the cause, having left the country, and the brief which he had prepared, and which had since been found in his offices, had not been handed to any counsel. The LORD CHIEF BARON —The jury seemed to have been very greatly infected with the popular mania against provisional committeemen, the verdict was a most unaccountable one.--ltul© granted. • G I JANUARY 18, 1 been assisted by the Association until they ascertained their character, and they then declined to have any thing further to do with them. They were gross im postors, their characters the most disreputable, and were not, in fact, entitled to the slightest sympathy. Their conduct, he said, brought great shame and disgrace upon their exiled country men, and he begged to take that opportunity of saying that every One of those persons who, like the prisoners, had themselves as Poles, and solicited relict, were, to a man, impostors ; for he was happy to say that every Pole of good cha ratter was afforded sufficient from the funds of the So ciety—at the head of which were the highest people in this country—to keep them from resorting to such a mode of living, andihe therefore thus publicly wished to warn the public against being imposed upon by such persons. . . . . . Mr. NORTON, after remarking upon the impudtmt conduct of the prisoners, stintenc. d them to three months' imprisonment, with hard labour, and added tint he should take care to have thi2ir conviction returned to and recorded at the Quarter Session<, so that if brought up again on a similar offence they might be treated as felons. MYSTERIOUS DEATH AT HAM MERSMITH. On Saturday the inquiry in this case again resumed. Mr. Howell, a solicitor, of Welshpool, attended to watch the proceedings on behalf of deceased's family ; an 1 I;ispector Morgan, T division, and Sergeant Scot- T 21, on the part of the police. The first witness called was— Anne 11 heeler, a middle. aged female; whose face bore evidence of her having been engaged in a terrible en esunter with some person, bo'h eyes being blackened down to the michile of the cheek, the other portions of her lace showing bruises and lacerations, extending down to her neck. She had an infant, about two months old, in her arms. She deposed that she was a single woman, and had lived with the deceased as bis wire for nearly four years. On the night of Saturday, the 9th inst., she went to bed about three o'clock. The deceased had fits in the daytime, and had become right afierwards. At three o'clock deceased went down stairs to get a pipe, when he told her to get into bed to the two children, which she did. Deceased remained down stairs about a quarter of an hour, and then came up and sa,', &tin by the fire and smoked his pipe until about four o'clock in the morning. Did not then see him again until five o'clock, when she heard his son sav, " He's gone ! he's gone !" and she instantly jumped - up and untied the handkerchief, and loosened his neck and laid him on the floor. By the Jury—Deceased and witness had quarrelled in the afternoon of Saturday, but not that night. The son did not inflict the injuries on witness's face. Mr. Thomas Griffiths, surgeon, deposed that he had made a post mortal': exam nation of the body of the de c. ased, and from the appearances he found he had not the slightest doubt that the deceased died from strangu lation, arising from hanging. Deceased was a remarkably fine man ; witness had never before seen a person with muAcular power more fully developed. The DEPUTY-CORONER—Are you quite sure, from the examination you have made of the body of the deceased, that he could not have been strangled by others, and placed by them in the position in which he was found ? Mr. Griffiths—l am quite sure on that point. A Juror—Supposing that the deceased became acci dentally strangled, during one of the fits to which he was subject. and that prJduced insensibility, would not the appt arances he had described be the same ? Mr. Griffiths replied that he should doubt that the deceased was strangled during a fit which might produce insensibility, as the marks showed that strangulation had occurred during fife. Mr. Howell then addressed the Deputy-Coroner, saying, that from the information he had received, he believed that means had been employed by the son and Wheeler to iefluence the deceased to draw up a will in her favour. He hsd come up there on the part of the deceased's family, in consequence of another will, which was in the hands of Mr. Howell, at Welshpool, to see to the funeral of the deceased, but he found that a subse quent will had been executed by which Wheeler would be largely benefited, as she was to receive 501. immedi• ately, and also a sum of 521. per annum. By that will, he was precluded acting. There was, however, an informality in it. The DEPUIY-CORONER here interrupted Mr. Howell, by saying that he could not go into that part of the in quiry, that was a matter which must be settled in another court. Mr. Kmell deposed that he was a butcher, and that on Saturday evening defendant came to his shop about ten o'clock; he was very rational, but much excited. De ceased said he had been very much ill treated in his house, and that he would get rid of the set he had about him; and that if witness knew the state of his heart he would pity him. Witness believed deceased's excite ment arose from Wheeler having had meat at witness's shop without his knowledge. Witness was not surprised when ho heard that deceased had destroyed himself. Thomas Richards was next examined, and corrobo rated the evidence of the son and Wheeler, and swore most positively that there was no scuffling in the bed room during the night. Elizabeth Richards deposed that she lived next door to the deceased. On the night in question, while she was in bed, she heard violent scuffling in the deceased's bed room, which was only separated by a thin partition. It commenced about eight o'clock in the evening, but from nine o'clock there was great disturbance until about half past three o'clock on the Sunday morning. Deceased and Whi elk r talked very loud. It was about the trades men's books. It commenced about some beef and beer which had been put down without deceased's knowledge. Wheeler swore she had not had it. Deceased went out, about it, and returned, saying she had had it, but she again swore that she had not. The DEPUTY-CORONER here asked Mrs. Richards if she did not think from what she had heard that the de ceased had died by his own act?—Mrs. Richards replied she did not think the deceased bad hung himself. Tae DEPUTY-CORONER said that was all imagination. There they had before them the evidence of a medical gentleman of known ability and character, who had most positively expressed his conviction that deceased had hung himself. He would not go into the case any further, and if the parties were not satisfied they might take the matter to the police court. The Deputy -Coroner then proceeded to address the jury, contending that there was full evidence before them that the deceased had hung himself, and desired those jurors who were in favour of a verdict—" That the deceased hung himself, being at the time in an unsound state of mind," should hold up their hands, and that those in favour of—"Feund h .nging, , , but how he became so, or the state of his mind at the time, there was not sufficient evidence to show," to ha.l.up theirs. Two hands only were held up for the first verdict, and seven for the second. The other jurors did not vote. trangers were then ordered to withdraw. During the interim, Mr. Howell took the witness Harrison into another room and questioned her very ulosely as to what she had heard, and at the conclusion he said there must be another further examination into the matter, which was a most mysterious one. The public were re-admitted in about half an hour, and The DtPUTY-CORONER said the jury had returned a verdict, " That the deceas(d had died from hanging, by his own act, and that he was in a state of unsound mind at the time he committed the deed." The verdict excited the greatest surprise. WHY ARE NOT OUR RAILWAY CARRIAGES WARMED?—It is now nearly two years since this ques tion was first propounded. Since that time railway carriages in America have been heated; and during this winter some of the Belgian and French companies have also adopted means to warm their carriages. Have any Eng:ish companies taken up the scheme? No, not one that we know of. Some may ask, is the thing practi cable? or will it pay? It is easily practicable, and it will ply be•ter than any other outlay on any line adopt ing the plan. The swift boats on the several canals have long had the scheme in operation—to warm their best cabins. Copper tubes, about four feet lung and six in ches in diameter, are filled with hot air, and laid on the cabin floor; these will preserve and give out heat quite sufficient for comfortable warmth during a space of five or six hours. Indeed we have travelled with one for eight hours, the water unchanged, and there was a comfortable heat at the end of the journey. How, you may say, can this plan be applied to carriages ? Nothing easier. In all carriages a narrow recess or box may be made across and under the floor where the passengers feet rest, betwixt the seats, but parallel with them ; and if the make of the carriage frame will allow of an outside opening to put the hot-water tubes, they may be fitted with doors. If this is not practicable, let the door be in the floor, and be perforated, shutting over the door, and then covered with the mat or carpet ; this will equalise and diffuse the heat. One or two stations will require a boiler to heat the water ; there must be tubes to hold it, and the present staff of porters would place them in the carriages i in a f ew moments , even i n t h e longest train. T we h at nl her of going to London, or elsewhere, this cold R. warm all the way, and warm feet at the end. r, wou ld you give an extra shilling for such a blowy ?—Liverpool Journal.

COLES. This was an action against the late proprietor of the Rainbow Tavern, to recover the amount of a bond given by Argent, the defendant's successor and alleged partner, the plaintiff, and since the execution of which Argent had become a bankrupt. The case was tried at the Guildhall, And a verdict returned for plaintiff. . . . , Mr. BRAMWELL now moved for a rule nisi for anew trial on the ground of misdirection ; also, because the verdict was againrt evidence. Argent on taking the business, at a rent for furniture, &c., had covenanted with defendant not to order more than five pounds' worth of wine without his knowledge, and not to accept bills. This deed was to the plaintiff; but, in summing up the case, the Lord Chief Baron told the jury that it did not follow that plaintiff had read the whole of it. This was the misdirection complained of. The Learned Gentleman also contended that the verdict was against evidence. Rule nisi granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jan.l6. Davis V. LOWNDES. This is the celebrated writ of right case, in which Mr. Sergeant Manning, the other day, obtained a rule nisi to change the attorney of the demander. Mr. Sergeant BILES showed cause against the rule, contending that the objeet of the change was merely to defeat the arrangement which had been entered into with the sanction of the Court. Mr. Sergeant MANNING having been heard in reply, The COURT directed the rale to be discharged. PATER V. BAKER. In this case, which was an action for slander of title, brought against a survey appointed under the provi sions of the Metropolitan Bui;ding Act, and in which the verdict was for the plaintiff, The COURT ordered the rule nisi for a new trial, which was obtained the other day on behalf of the de fendant, to be made ab. olute. The circumstances have been frequently fully reported. COURT OF BAIVKRUPGY, Jan. 16. (Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.) LIABILITY OF PARENTS —IN RE OARRAD. The bankrupt, who was a surgeon at Hackney, came up to pass his last examination. A proof was tendered, on behalf of a tailor, for clothes supplied to bankrupt's son. An action had been brought against the bankrupt, and a judge's order had been made to compel the bankrupt to admit the debt ; and, on this, it was contended, that a proof could not be maintained. The Learned CommissioNEß did not consider this was an undertaking to pay ; it was not like a verdict obtained. The Solicitor said it was virtually an acknowledg ment, and tantamount to a verdict, as it would have enabled judgment to have been obtained, if the fiat had not issued. The question was clear that a father was liable for necessaries supplied to his son, who was living with him. The bankrupt said his son ordered the goods, and he had a salary- as clerk, and the bankrupt allowed him 301. a year. The Solicitor said, that under the poor-law, as well as the eumwon taw, the father was obliged to support the son. He did not think that his Honour would consti tute himself a judge of appeal against proceedings at common law. The Learned COMMISSIONER having looked at the papers and heard evidence, said the first question was whether the father was liable, originally the credit having been given to the son, now of age, and to whom the bill was made out. On referring to " Chitty's Prac tice," he found that there mug be an agreement to pay signed by the party or some person authorised by him. The Solicitor said the attorney of the defendant siuned the consent. The Learned COMMISSIONER ultimately held that the proof could he admitted. The Learned COMMISSIONER, on looking at the pro ceedings, said that, according to them, there was 203. in the pound, but the official assignee said all the good debts were bad beyond hope, and " property" depended on the carrying oniof a Chancerysuit. The bankrupt at last was allowed to pass. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. The Lord Mayor gratefully expressed his receipt of 101. for the poor box, from the Fishmongers' Company, and requested our rep orter to give notice to that effect in a paragraph. THE LATE RAILWAY SHARE CASE.—The followi ng will supply an acciden tal o mission in the report of the after the di sc h arge of the three per sons who were charge d with h aving conspired to defraud proceedings justice;-room on F r id ay. Mr. Aiar g i s e t o l n o him of 1001., stated to the Lord Mayor that he con sidered it but fair to assure his Lordship that the gentle man named Richard Fennell, who resided in Alderman bury, and who had introduced Mr. Scanlan to him, was altogether blameless in the transaction. Mr. Fennell ap prehended that an unfavourable impression had been made by the' public mention of his name in connexion with this affair, and hoped that justice would be done to his character by the candid acknowledgment of the com plainant that he had not the most remote idea of any dishonourable intention on the part of Mr. Scanlan, whom he had introduced.

CAUTION TO ODINIBUS CONDUCTORS. —John Long, a conductor of one of the Islington to Chelsea omnibuses, was charged with having wilfully deceived a lady with respect to the route of his vehicle. The complainant said she was in company with another lady at the time she hailed the defendant in Holborn, and inquired if he went to Tottenham-court road. The defendant replied in the affirmative, and complainant and friend got into the omnibus. The de fendant set her down in Piccadilly, and when remon strated with in reference to the deception practised, merely laughed at them. The complainant said there was a notice on the omnibus, showing the route to be by way of Tottenham-court-road, but this notice the con ductor took off and placed under the seat. The defendant said he did not hear the lady ask if he went to Tottenham.court-road, otherwise he sho u ld not have taken her i n t o t h e omn ib us . Mr. lIARD WICKE sa id t h e con d uc t of the defendant in deceiving the lady as to the route of his omnibus was quite inexcusable. It was fortunate for him that the second lady was not present to prefer a similar complaint. otherwise he should have inflicted a second fine of equal severity. For the offence, as proved by evidence, he should fine the defendant 20s. and costs. LAMBETH. STURDY BEGGARS.—Two Poles, one of whom desig.. nated himself as Count Domhicki, and falsely represents himself to be the cousin to the last King of Poland, and Joseph Raeihoski, both of them regular and impudent cadgers, were finally examined on a charge of going to the houses of several gentlemen in the neighbourhood of Streatham, obtruding themselves into the houses, and asking subscriptions in so impudent a tone and manner as to alarm several ladies. The worthies have been frequently sent to the tread-mill for a similar offence, and on one occasion the count was accompanied in his victimising excursions by a young lady not more than 2.5 - (he himself being at least 60), who represented her self The l e i e s the Gentleman countess. who is secretary to the Association of the Friends of Poland, said that the prisoners had COURT OF QUEEA'S BENCH, Jan : 16. The Court took the Crown paper to-day. No cases came on for argument possessing any claim to public interest. BAIL COURT, Jan. 16. KIABILITV OF PROVISIONAL COMMITTEEMEN.-PARROTT V. FREKE. _ This was an action to recover the sum of 1,500/. due by the defendant to the plaintiff for certain newspap r advertisements inserted, and for work and labour done. Mr. Keene appeared for the defence, and Messrs. Humpl,ries and Wordsworth for the plaintiff. Mr. Humexeites stated that the plaintiff in this case was a newspaper agent, and the defendant, the Hon. Percy E. Fr.- ke, was a gentleman of fortune, and the son of Lord Carberry. The question of his liability did not rest upon the mere fact of his name appearing on the previsional committee of any railway, but on other facts which he should prove, and which would leave no doubt on the minds of the jury that their verdict ought to give the plaintiff his claim. The Learned Counsel then called The Secretary of the London, Birmingham, and Buckinghean Railway Company, who stated that the first meeting of the promoters of the company took place in September, 1845. The defendant was present, and was, with others, made a member of the provisional committee. At a subsequent meeting, on the 10th of October, the defendant was present. On the 3d of October, a resolution that the company should be adver tised, was passed and acted on. The defendant was not present. Papers, containing these advertisements, were laid on the table on all occasions. The defendant was often present. On the 24th of September the solicitors to the company were empowered to solicit the co-opera tion of gentlemen, and to publish their names, " should it be deemed necessary." The defendant was summoned to attend at all the meetings of the company; at least, witness put a letter, ssontaining a summons, into the post-office for him before each meeting. On the 3d of October the name of the company was altered, and several names were added to the provisional committee. By Mr. Justice ERLE—The name of the company was changed from and after the 3d of October. Mr. KEENE objected to any evidence being given of facts which took place while the defendant was absent. Mr. Justice ERLE said that there was evidence that, though the defendant was not present when certain re solutions were made, he was present when they were acted upon, and thus identified himself with them by confirming acts done in his absence. This fact was, therefore, admissible as evidence of his consenting that the company should be extensively advertised. A resolution of the 3d of October, authorising the solicitors to publish the prospectus of the company, was then read. Examination continued —By the instructions of Messrs. Forbes and Drake he took some prospectuses to Mr. Parrott. Witness directed him to advertise in the Times, Herald, Morning Chronicle, and The Sun, besides several of the local papers. Mr. Parrott sent in an ac count in the month of February. It was laid on the table for further consideration, but no objection was made as to its incorrectness. Mr. Pritchard, of the Joint-Stock Company Regis tration Office, produced the registration of the London, Birmingham, and Buckinghamshire Railway Company. Mr. Freke's name is there. The company was first registered on the 23d of September, and afterwards on the 29th of October. Has Mr. Freke's written consent to be on the committee. The secretary identified the handwriting as that of Mr. Freke. Mr. PRITCHARD said that the first prospectus ever re gistered contained the name of Colonel Fr, ke. Mr. KEENE objected to any evidence of proceedings prior to the 29th of October being given. As it was only on that day Colonel Freke gave his written con sent, he could not be made liable for anything before that period. The Secretary of the company was then recalled and cross-examined by Mr. KEENE—OnIy knows Mr. Par rott as the advertising agent. Shares in the company were allotted, but cannot say whether Mr. Parrott had, or applied for any. First saw Mr. Freke on the 24th of September. He was introduced by Mr. Drake, and afterwards gave his name to witness. Has not any of the original prospectuses taken to the advertising agents. Mr. Wm. Grogan, clerk to the plaintiff, stated that his employer resided in Alderman's-walk. The advertise merits mentioned in the account produced were inserted from time to time. The advertisements are inserted in the newspapers produced. Mr. KEENE objected to them unless the original ad vertisements sent to the newspaper-offices were produced. Examination continued—The charges made are quite reasonable. The amount of the bill is 1,558/. 17s. 2d. The Secretary was here recalled by Mr. KEENE—He stated that there was a managing committee appointed on the sth of November. Colonel Fri-ke was not a member of it. It was appointed by the provisional committee. Mr. HUMPHRIES stated, that in order to obviate the objection to the managing committee, he would ask for nothing which was inserted after the sth of November. All the charges after that date should be struck out. Mr. Thomas proved the payment by Mr. Parrott of various large sums for the insertion of advertisements. All the advertisements charged were paid for by Mr. Parrott. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. KEENE submitted that there was no proof of any one fact to render ColoneliFreke liable. Besides, there had been no proof given that the prospectus had ever been advertised. He wished that the original prospectus sent to the newspaper-offices should be produced; that the fact of its being printed should be proved, and the authorised copies of the newspapers from Somerset House. Every piece of paper covered with print could not be proved to be the Times for a legal purpose. He re quired that the paper produced should be legally proved to be a newspaper. He also wished that the advertisement should be proved to be in conformity with the registered prospectus. The secretary was then re-called, and he proved that the registered prospectus and the printed advertise ments acre in conformity with each other. Mr. Justice ERLE inquired if Mr. Keene would admit the conformity of the prospectus and advertisements? Mr. KEENE said he could not. Mr. Justice ERLE then re called Mr. Pritchard, who proved that certain prospectuses were registered from time to time. Mr. KEENE said that he would admit that there was a conformity between the prospectus produced and the ad vertisements in the the printed documents produced, and purporting to be newspapers. He objected that the prospectus registered and published in the advertisement was not the one authorised by the committee. He also objected that the papers produced were not proved to be newspapers. Mr. Justice ERLE—You have not got the printer to piove that the papers are copies of those printed at certain dates. _ _ Mr, HIIMPIIRIES—NO, my Lord. Mr. Thomas then produced a copy of the Morning Herald, which he stated came from the Herald office, and a copy of The Sun from the Stamp•oice. The papers produced by the name of the Times are papers published and circulated by that *a ne on the dates named on them. By Mr. KEENE—Applied for a copy of The Sun in writing. Has not got the letrer. Mr. KEENE then objected to the production of the paper. Mr. Grogan recalled, and examined by Mr. Justice ERLE—Saw the secretary of the company deliver cer tain •prospeetuses to Mr. Parrott. He has also given them to witness. Witness gave these prospectuses to Mr. Thomas for insertion in the newspapers. Gave the identical ones brought by the secretary to Mr. Thomas. Mr. Justice ERLE then stated his opinion that there was a case to go to the jury. It was, however, subject to the objections of Mr. Keene. Mr. KEENE then proceeded to address the jury, and contended that there was no proof that the defendant was present at any meeting which authorised the in sertion of advertisements. The resolution of the 24th of September did not authorise the expenditure of one farthing of money, as it only authorised the inviting of the co-operation of certain gentlemen, " and to publish their names if necessary ;" and therefore all the work CLE R KEN WE L L. Moses Isaacs and John Hall were placed at the bar before Mr. Greenwood, on the charge of being riotous and disorderly i❑ the gallery of Sadler's-Wells Theatre, and with assaultingacheck•taker,:named Dawes, and also police-constable Doyle, 197 G, who was on duty at the theatre. Dawes stated that about the middle act of the tragedy of King or No King, he heard considerable noise and confusion in the gallery, and expressions of the grossest and most indecent description uttered in such a loud tone of voice as to be perfectly audible in every part of the house. Upon entering the gallery, he found that they were uttered by the two prisoners, who sat in the front row, and having in vain attempted to induce them to be quiet, he seized hold of Isaacs, who was by far the most violent and offensive, and succeeded in dragging him to the back of the gallery, where they both fell, and Isaacs struck and kicked him several times so violently about the head and face as to almost saturate all the upper part of his dress with blood. D , ,yle came to his assistance, and with considerable difficulty they removed the prisoners from the gallery, and conveyed them to the station-house. Doyle 107 G, confirmed the previous statement. Mr. J. C. Greenwood, the lessee of the theatre, was in attendarce, and said he sought for the infliction of no heavier punishment upon the prisoners than Mas neces sary to compel orderly conduct on the part of the audience. Reynolds, a constable of the theatre, said, in reply to the magistrate, the prisoner Isaacs had been sentenced to seven days imprisonment about two years ago for disor derly conduct at the theatre ; and that last night as he was observed to be under the influence of liquor, he was cautioned upon entering the theatre by the money taker, and only admitted on promising to behave himself properly. The MAGISTRATE said, that from what he had heard, he believed that there was not a theatre in London con ducted in a more orderly, and in every way, a more creditable manner, than Sadler's Wells. It was also— and he regretted to say it—the only theatre where the legitimate drama found a resting place in London after it had been driven from all the larger theatres. If such language as that used by Isaacs were per mittad, the beneficial effects from a theatre con ducted in such a manner, must be lost, and those em barking in it ruined, for no man would bring his wife or children there at the hazard of having their ears so offended and polluted. As it appeared that Hall was but little to blame in comparison with his companion, he should order him to be discharged, but with respect to Isaacs, his conduct had been so disgraceful, that he should send him to the House of Correction for one month, without the alternative of a fine. Isaacs, who boasted at the station-house that he did not care for the magistrate, as he could pay double the highest fine which could be imposed, seemed quite be wildered as he was led off to the van by 'Waddington. MARYLEBONE. EXTENSIVE PLUNDER BY A LAUNDRESS.— On Satur day Esther Hughes, who had been brought before this court on Thursday last, charged with pawning a con siderable quantity of linen and other articles, the pro perty of Edward Cif:NTH, E,q., 3, Whitehall-gardens, and two of his domestic servants, was again brought up for examination, when a similar charge was preferred against her by W. Ssott Kenney, 37, Bryanstone square. It appeared that in the latter part of the last month the prisoner was intrusted with those articles for laun dry purposes. She then resided at Kensall New, town. Not returning the articles after the expiration of a week, suspicion was excited, and it was found she bad left her lodgings. On Thursday morning last she was taken into custody, and twenty duplicate tickets of the pro perty pawned were found upon her. The value of the pro perty which was given up by the pawnbrokers was be tween 1.51. and 20/. The prisoner said she had pawned the property with the intention of redeeming it. Mr. LONG sentenced her for each offence to pay a fine of s.,or in default of payment to be committed to the House of Correction for a uaonth. The prisoner was removed by Mitchell, the gaoler, crying bitterly. CROYDON. William West, who has for a number of years filled the office of beadle to the parish of Mitcham, attended before Messrs. Lucas, Barclay, and Sutherland, the pre siding magistrates, to answer a charge of violently as saulting a young girl named Emily Ridley, in Mitcham Church. For a considerable time past West appears to have acted in a very extrordinary manner, and he has been before the ben; so many times, either as complainant or defendant, that the magistrates have repeatedly ex pressed their disgust at his violent and outrageous con duct; but notwithstanding this, it would seem that he is still retained in his (Ace. The complainant in the present case, a respectable girl, deposed that on Sunday, the 31 instant, she went, accompanied by a child, to the church at Mitcham, and proceeded to a pew, which she had been in the habit of occupying. but she had hardly taken her seat before the defendant, who was in the middle of the church, called to her in a violent tone and manner to come out of the pew. She took no notice of what he said, thinking she bad a right to the seat, when the defendant came to the pew, forced open the door with great violence, and seized her by the shoulders and th rust h er out , an d she tell to the ground fr: m the force he used towards her. The defendant said the complainant had no right in the pew, and he, therefore, had desired her to come out. She, in return, had used a very disgusting expression to him, and he turned her out of the pew, but he denied having used violence. The complainant most earnestly denied having used the expression imputed to her. The magistrates considered the charge of assault clearly made out, and did not believe that the com plainant had used the expression sworn to by the defendant. They had seen repeated instances of the great violence and tni,conduct of the defendant, and they considered it extraordinary that he should be retained in the office. The bench, therefore, felt it their duty to inflict a fine of 40s. and costs, and in default a month's imprisonment. FIRE AND DEPLORABLE ACCI DENT AT AN IRON FOUNDRY. Friday - night, shortly before 10 o'cki,k, a frightful oc currence took place in the extensive iron foundry belong. ing to Messrs. Ainger and Co., Upper Ground -street, Blackfriars. It appears that a number of persons were engaged in casting a heavy piece of metal, and they had just succeeded in filling a pan with molten iron, which was attached to a crane. The weight of the iron was upwards of seventy hundred pounds. The persons en gaged in the work had succeeded in shifting the hot metal to about the middle of the spzike between the fur nace and mould, when the ladle toppled over, and the whole of the hot liquid iron was scattered over the floor of the foundry, running amongst the men, and firing sundry portions of the building, and then rushed through the windows and doors like a discharge of. a thousand rockets. Fur some time, the utmost excitement pre vailed in the neighbourhood, and it was feared that every man on the premises had been burned to death. Such was the power of the fire, that no one could enter for some time to render assist ance, and intelligence was forthwith sent to the engine stations. In the course of a few minutes Mr. Connorton reached the scene, with the West of England engine, and was followed by Mr. Hatnb!eton, with the Brigade en• gine from Waterloo-road, and the escape belonging to the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire. With buckets of water the firemen succeeded in putting the fire out, and the hot metal on the floors cooled, w hen a dreadful sight presented itself. One of the workmen, named George Richardson, was found in a corner of the foundry, burnt in a most shocking manner. His shoes and portions of his dress were st r ipp e d b y t h e action of the fire from his person, and the injuries he received were of such a nature that no hopes were entertained of his recovery. He was placed in a cab and removed to the hospital. Two other persons, named Thomas Hobbe and Martin Ryan, were also extensively burned about their bodies, and were likewise obliged to be removed to the hospital. Two children, belonging to Mr. Billing burst, one of the partners, were also injured, but not to any great extent. At eleven o'clock the fire was extin guished; but it was expected that one person, if not more, would die during the night. MARYLEBONE VESTRY . S T REET - CLEANSlNG.—OniSaturday, at the Marylebone Vestry, Mr. SODEN brought forward a motion for the appointment of a committee to consider the necessity of adopting measures for the more effectual cleansing of the thoroughfares of Mirylehone, and stated that this object had become necessary from the increased traffic which had taken place in some of the principal streets. Mr. HARBERT opposed the motion, on the ground that those persons residing in the principal thoroughfares ought to pay the expenies wir!ch would be incurred by this proposition, since it would be for their comfort in particular. Mr. DANIELL suggested that the paupers in the parish might be employed in cleansing the streets, as they used to be form( Hy. The resolution was carried, and a committee;appointed A communication having been read from th• - Lord' Chancellor, expressing his willingness to receive a depu tation on the subject cf the Small Debts Bill, the vestry separated. ACCIDENT AT TUE LIVERPOOL AMPLIITFIEATRE. —On Monday night, a m in in the gallery of the Amphi theatre, who had left his pl ice during one ot the acts, missed to spring into his lonner se a t, his footing while _endea vo u t in g was preeipitated over the railing into the pit, a depth of at least thirty feet, and fell upon two ladies.
