Sir J. C. I - 10E11011SE said the House was ac quainted with the way in which Sinde had been attached to India. It was perfectly true that the Government was essentially milit try, and its affairs had hitherto been admir.ist!red by reilie..ry men. There could be no doubt, however, that the Governor of Sinde had faith folk and efficiently performed his duties. The system ot Government might be bad, but there could be no doubt that (4-1- at credit was due to General Napier for the skilful manner in which he had mitigated some of the evils of that system.—(Hear, hear.) He was quite ready to admit that the maintenance of that military go vernment was of great expense to this country, but it was quite impossible to have avoided that expense. The inhabitants were a turbulent people, and it had been found necessary to maintain this great force to keep them in check. For the last three years, however, the people had been most peaceable (Hear) —and during that period General Napier had do ne much for the improvement of Sinde by the construction of canals, roads, &c. Still he must assure the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Montrose, that both in the opinion of the Indian Government and of her Majesty's Government, it was not advisable that this mode of go vernment at present adopted in Sinde should last, but the time had not yet arrived when the change could be made. With respect to the opinion expressed by the Hon. Gentleman, of the expediency of 1., storing Sinde, he must confess that he did not agree with him in that respect. Many great public writers entertained the same view as his Hon. Friend, and still he could not help doubting whether, if such an arrangement as that sug gested by the Hon. Gentleman were carried out, it would be at all serviceable to, or consistent with, the peace and prosperity of our Indian empire.—(Hear, hear.) Sir R. H. INGLIS said there could be no question whatever that the native princes of Sinde had been ot great service to this country, in protecting her Indian empire from outrage and attack, and if it were only on that consideration alone, they ought to look forward to the improvement and restoration of the country to the natives, who were its rightful possessors —(Hear, hear.' After a few words from Mr. HUME the subjec dropped. FAMINE IN IRELAND. Mr. BROTHERTON then moved an Address to her Majesty, that she will be graciously pleased to direct that there be laid before this House a copy of the letter from the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to her Britannic Majesty's Minister at Washington, acknow ledging the &nation in food and money of the Legis lature and citizens of the United States of America for the relief of the famine in Ireland. Great credit, he thought, was due to America for the generous manner in which she had come forward voluntarily to assist in relieving the recent distress and sufferings of Ireland. No sooner did accounts reach them of the prevalerce of the distress than meetings were held in every part of' the country to commiserate the sufferings of the Irish people, and most munificent sums were voluntarily sub scribed for their relief. Now he conceived that they could do no less than give expression to those grateful feelings which were felt both in this country ard in Ire land towards America, for the liberal manner in which she had come forward to assist i❑ alleviating the suffer ings of tne Irish people. Mr. BROWNE seconded the motion, and in doing so he could not do otherwise than express his adinira• tion fbr ►he sympathies the Americans had evinced towards Ireland. and the zeal and liberality with which they had responded to the call made upon them to lend their aid in mitigating the distress of Ireland. Lord PALMERSTON had great pleasure in support ing the motion of his lion. Friend, fcr not only were the supplies from America large and liberal in amount, but the manner in which they were forwarded was most generous. Such acts as these he could not help thinking were highly calculated to cement the friendship which subsisted between the two nations, and he trusted it would be a long time indeed before the prevailing good feeling would be interrupted. Lord MORPETH must also bear his testimony to the liberality and generosity which America had dis played towards Ireland during her time of tribulation, and he was not sorry that before the close of the session effect was given to the gratitude of this nation within the walls of that House.—(Hear, hear.) The motion was then agreed to. CASE OF LIEUTENANT-COLONEL MUNN. Mr. S TUART WORTLEY moved for copies of all memorials or petitions presented by the late Lieutenant- Colonel Munn, formerly of the 14th and afterwards of the 27th Regiment of Native Infantry in India, or by Mrs. Harriet Munn, his widow, to the Board of Direct ors of the East India Company, or the President of the Board of Control, complaining of deprival of his just promotion in the Indian army, and the loss of the pay attached to his rightlul rank, and the answers thereto, as well as of any order or orders issued by the Comma❑der in Chief or the Governor-General of India, in the month of May, 1824, for the division of the said 14th Regiment, and the regulation of the promotion to take place in such division. Sir J. C. 110BITOUSE said whatever injury had been inflicted upon Lieutenant-Colonel Munn arose from a general arrangement in the service; but still he had no objection to agree to the return. The motion was then agreed to. BRANDING DESERTERS. Mr. HUME moved for a return of the number of sol diers of her Majesty's land forces, cavalry and infantry, that have been marked as deserters, stating the number in each regiment, in each of the three last years. Also, a copy of any general orders by the Commander of the Forces respecting branding, and now in force. Similar return for the marine forces (if briy). Similar return for the navy (if any). He thought it was a disgrace to the country that men should be marked like beasts, and the sooner the practice was put an end to the better. Mr. FOX MAULE had no objection to the return. The branding complained of conld only be done with the sanction of a court martial. The branding was but sel dom resorted to, and when it was, it inflicted no physical pain upon the deserter, for the process was simply tat toeing him on the arm with the letter D. The motion was then agreed to. THE RAJA OF SATTARA. Mr. HUME moved for copies of all correspondence during 1838 and 1839, between the Government of Bombay and Captain Cogan, relative to the afkirs of the Raja of Sattara, together with copies of any com munications, minutes, or opinions of the Government of Bombay, relating thereto. Of a letter from Captain Cogan to Sir John Hobhouse, dated January, 1840, with copies of the papers accompanying the said letter; also, copy of the reply to the said letter. Of a letter from Captain Cogan to William Cabell, Esq., Secretary to the Board of Commissioners for the Affairs of India, dated the 4th day of February, 1640, together with the reply thereto. Of a letter from Lord Palmer ston to Captain Cogan, dated the 28th day of September 1808. Of a letter from Captain Cogan to Lord Palmerston, dated , together with an accom panying copy of a communication from the Imaun of Muscat, empowering Captain Cogan to act as the politi cal agent of his Highness in England. Of Lord Pal. merston's reply thereto. Of a letter from Captain Cogan to John Baeahouse, Esq., Under Speretary of State in the Foreign Department, c;ated the 15th day of Jaimary, 1840. And, of a letter from Lord Palmerston to Coptain Cogan, dated the 28th day of March, 1840. Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE had no objection whatever to give his Hon. Friend the papers, but ho must, at the same time add, that he was quite unconscious of any injury ever having been done to Captain Cogan. After, a few words from Mr. WAIILEY and Lord Pat, NERSTON, The motion was agreed to. SURVEY OF INDIA. On the motion of Mr. HUME, full and detailed re ports were ordered of the extent and nature th f the the grand ope rations and of the expenditure connected trigonometrical surv e y of India, and of the grand trian gulation thereof, for the measurements of the arcs of the meridian, from the year the first base was measured to the latest date. Also, reports of the surveys, whether general, revenue, or military, which have hitherto been carried (.n, completed, or are in progress, specifying the divisions or portions of India ; also, the auto ber and what sheets of the grand Atlas have been completed, and engraved, with the cost thereof to the Government, and the selling price per sheet to the pub lic, and what progress the remaining portions of the Atlas are in ; of the nature of the information collected in connexion with the grand survey, and with the de tailed surveys of India, and a list of all the memoirs, and their contents, sent in ; and, statements to illustrate the nature of the different great divisions and th,e smaller districts or departments thereof, into which India. within the line of the Indus is divided, for political, civil, re venue, judicial, and military purposes, exhibiting the areas, population, and nature of productions thereof ; and showing the relation and the authority under which they stand to the East India Company, whether im mediately subordinate to and under the direct rule, or are tributary, protected, subsidiary, or independent. UNIFORM PENNY RECEIPT STAMP. Mr. BROTHERTON called the attention of the House to the petition of W. M. Christy, and ()the rs (pre sented 14th May), relative to an uniform perm y receipt stamp. He thought if a penny receipt strtmp was adopted, it would induce business habits among the people, and be productive to the Exchequer. He moved that a Select Committee be appointed to investigate the subject. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that however desirable the reduction in the tee: might be, he was afraid the state of the revenue wou'.d not permit it at present ; and he hoped the lion. G entlein in would withdraw his motion. The motion was then, by leave, witTatirawn. COMPARATIVE RECEIPTS 'OF REVENUE. Lord G. BENTINCK moved :or returns, showing the comparative receipts of revenue in the ye are ending the stheday of January 1842 and ;847, from tnose items on which reductions of duty hav e and have not in the interim taken place, and distinguishing any increase of revenue from the last alteraticen of the sugar duties. He then proceeded to say the; hi motion, which he bee. a should not dwell upon this eeerl could be unopposed, but there were certain ste.temet, is made, in what be might term a State papre:—(LauF ;hter)—e hich had been re cently issued by Sit Role it Peel, in the shape of an address to the electors or Tamworth, that made it ne cessary for him to occupy - for a short time the attention of the House. The Nob ee Lord then entered into a series of calculations, to t t'how how erroneous a as the statement of the Right 'L.7.onourable Baronet, and that instead of the recent alterations in the tariff being productive of no le ss to the revenue, or the the commerce of the cc entry, the revenue had lost no less a sum than four mill ions on those articles, the duties on which had been red need, and there had been no in crease in their consumption; while, strantre to say, the duties on those artie tea which he had not intere red with had been product ire of a large increase to the re venue. Now if the Rig tt Hon. Baronet had dealt with the remaining p9rtion of ,qae revenue as he did with the tv.o t,irthe whic!t it—tal‘- , - , (1 the r7-1:,,1es wbi t l, O duty was reduced, th. , re,uit ave been t'%ut up wards of twenty millions would have been lost to the revenue. He thought it right to draw attention to this document, lest it might go forth to the country that these sentiments were correct, an:l that erroneous ideas might thereby be propagated Lt th..; ensuing election on the subject of free-trade. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not object to the returns. He c'nfessed he was not pr‘ pared to hear such a long dissertation or. the subject at this period of the session. lie trusted, however, that there would be an increase in the revenue of those articles, the duties on which had been reduced, and much less on those the duties on which had been altogether repealed. —(Laughter.) And secondly, he thought that the bad harvests of late years had contributed very greatly to prevent the revenuefrom being so productive as it other wise would have been. Mr. HUME objected to the inferences drawn by the Noble Lord from the late reduction of the tariff, and considered that he had failed altogether in the censure which he had directed against the doctrines of free trade. Mr. BANKES was of opinion that the Noble Lord had fully made out his case, and the fact to which he had drawn attention respecting the increase in these ar ticles, the duties on which had not been touched, fully confirmed the accuracy of what he had advanced. Mr. GeWLBUI . -IN would not make any observation on the Noble Lord's statement, but when the returns moved for were on the table it would be at once seen whether his calculations and the inferences he drew from diem were correct. After a few remarks from Mr. WILLIAMS, The motion was agreed to. BISHOPRIC OF MANCHESTER, &c. BILL. The report on this Bill was brought up and received. Mr. P. BORTHWICK thought it would be a very great improvement on the Bill if the latter part of the 2d clause was omitted, and that the new bishop should be permanently excluded from Parliament. He hoped the Noble Lord would take that point into consideration, otherwise he would feel it to be his duty to call the at tention of the House to the subrect on the third reading. Lord J. RUSSELL said that he had given the subject a good deal of consideration, and he was of opinion that the course proposed in the Bill was the most eligible one that could be adopted. At all events, he could not assent to the exclusion referred to by the Honourable Gentle man. Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN agreed with Oa Noble Lord, and considered that the course proposed to be adopted in the Bill was the best under the circum stances. Sir J. GRAHAM had deliberately, carefully, and anxiously considered the Bill, and though he was de termined to give no further opposition to its progress, he was desirous to take that opportunity of saying, that on the third reading of the Bill he wou ld state hi s ma- sons for voting against it. Mr. HENLEY protested against the Bill, and took that opportunity of doing so as he would not be in the House to-morrow (Wednesday), when it would be read a third time. Mr. WAKLEY considered that the rotatory principle in the Bill was the only redeeming point which it had, for it loosened the fixity which was generally supposed to belong to the privileges of the existing bishops. One of those privileges was a seat in the House of Lords; but, by this Bill, the privilege in this respect of one of the oldest bishoprics in the kingdom must he laid in abeyance. This to him was most satis factory, and he would not be sorry to see the whole episcopal body removed from Parliament altogether; nor did he think that the interests of religion nor of the country would su , tain any loss by such a proceeding. If the Noble Lord had any surplus Church funds at his disposal, lie thought they w‘alld be much better expended in parochial clergy than by creating new bishops. The Bill was then ordered to be read a third time to- morrow. ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION 'AMEND- KENT BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY BILL. On the order of the day for the third reading of this Bill, Mr. STUART objected to tl:e Bill, because he did not see what good object was to be gained by the abolition of the Court of Review, at:d the transfer of its powers to the Court of Chancery. The Court of Chancery had already more than enough of business to occupy it, and as the expense of the litigation, either to the public or the legal profession was not to be diminished by this Bill, and as no one had the least fault to find with the Judge who presided over the',Court of Review at present, he did not think that any commensurate advantage was to be gaited by its abolition, Besides, as there was a Committee of the House at present sitting upon the subject of the fees in law courts, he thought it would be better to postpone the measure till that Committee made its report. The Bill, in fact, could not be considered a permanent measure, and like the court which it proposed to abolish must have only a transient existence. He therefore considered it was extremely injudicious to countenance this tampering with the law courts, and he felt it his duty to oppose the Bill, and he would therefore move that the Bill be read a third time that day three months. Mr. BODKIN w ould vote for the third reading of the Bill, and was surprised at many of the remarks just made by the [lon. Gentleman who had sat down. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL concurred in that surprise, and said that there was nothing in the objec tions made entitled to any weight. The Bill, he contended, had been duly considered, and had been the result of two measures that had been introduced into the House of Lords, and of the recommendation of a Committee of their Lordships' House. The Court of Review had fallen into disuetude, for the business of the Court was now performed by the Vice-Chancellor in his own Court, and he thought its abolition could not be of much con sequence. He hoped, therefore, the House would sanc tion the Bill. Sir J. GRAHAM thought the explanation of the Attorney-Genera' was most full and satisfactory, but it was his opinion that no valid reason had been given for transferring the powers of this Court back again to the Court of Chancery, and he apprehended that the reason for the transfer was a desire to continue the present number of Vice-Chancellors, it being understood that the number in future was to be limited to two. After a few words from Mr. P. BORTHWICK, the House divided, when there appeared— For the amendment Against it Majority Sir J. GRAHAM then moved the insertion of the following clause : —And be it enacted, that no judge of any County Court. who has been appointed, or who shall hereafter be appointed to that office, under or by virtuo of the herembefore recited Act, passed in the tenth year of the reign of her Majesty, intizuled, " An Act for the more easy recovery of Small Debts and De mands in England," shall, during his continuance in such office, be capable of being elected or of sitting as a Member of the House of Commons. The clause was agreed to. Sir C. PRICE saw no reason why the judges of the county courts should not be eligible to have seats in Parliament; but he would move that the metropolitan ..►embers should be excluded. Sir J GRAHAM could not assent to the alteration suggested. After a few words from Mr. HENLEY and Mr. MOROAN O'CONNELL, The amendment was withdrawn. Mr. BROWNE then moved a clause giving power to judges of county courts to issue warrant to arrest a debtor in certain cases, such debtor being within the limits of the jurisdiction of the court, and to detain him in custody for a limited time, or until an order obtained to hold him to bail, when the custody to be transferred to the sheriff or officer holding a capias issued thereon. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed the clause. Mr. BROWNE did not wish to divide the House, and the clause was,by leave, withdrawn. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. INSOLVENT DEBTORS BILL. The report on this Bill was received. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Twelve o'clock. THE GREAT BRITAIN.—DOWNPATRICH, JULY 14. —Many persons, in vehicles of all descriptions, from coach and four down to the humble jaunting car, were at the bay long before the time of high water, to witness the first effort to raise the ship with artificial appliances. At about nine o'clock she began to move, and in less than half an hour she had evidently attained the water line. The crashing of the descending boxes was very loud, and the falling of one on the sea side, a little before ten o'clock, was tremendous. After the tide began to go back, or between eleven and twelve o'clock, the spars of three other boxes refused the strain, and snapped in two and three pieces, letting the boxes into the water. At low water, we learned on board that the ship rose fully two feet, and that, in consequence of the breaking of the first spar alluded to, Captain Claxton and Mr. Bremner did not think it prudent to let her come higher, and about an hour and a half before high water, the plugs were drawn, and the water let in. At this time we were informed there was not more than three feet of water in her. The ship went back about a foot; therefore, she stands another foot higher than she was before. There has been no trial to-day, but it was f p 'e o e w t. e m r o w re i . t h the The levers, damaged said that to-morrow there would be. It was said on screws, boxes and de fifteenn o not goingb boxes back, es b board that she was not wanted higher than a couple of place, being still in supposed ample for all purposes. The again as we left, and southerly breeze s p rung up 'n • if it freshens, it was sa id no effort I cou d be made, it being above all things necessary to keep her steady.—Aewty Telegraph. A general feeling of sympathy has been created amongst all ranks of people for the difficulties in which Mr. Caleraft, the lessee of the Theatre RO3 al, Dublin, has been plunged, through his long exert i ons to support the drama in the Irish metropolis. A committee of the oifieers of the garrison, under the immediate patronage of Sir Edward Blakeney, the Commander of the Forces, and of his Royal Ilighneis Prince George of Cambridge, has been formed, for the purpose of giving a performance on Saturday, the 24th instant, for the benefit of Mr. Calcraft. The committee consists of Major-General Sir John 131.rgoyne, K.C.B , Colonel Man.ell, Lieutenant- Colorn , i Greaves, Major White, Captain Ponsonby, Captain nipper (7th Fusiliers), and Captain Leicester Smith, who are exerting themselves zealously in the praiseworthy work they have undertaken. We under stand that Mr. Charles Kean will go to Dublin specially to play on the occasion.

WARWICK, JULY 19.—The opening meeting of the annual congress of the association took place at three o'clock in the grand jury-room of the County Courts in this town, and, iu spite of several circumstances of acci dental inconvenience, was extremely well attended, es pecially by the ladies and gentlemen of the neighbour hood, who appear to take great interest in the proceedings. An unusually active and intelligent local committee ha; been at work during several weeks; and, on Saturday, the secretaries of the association, Messrs. Crofton, Croker, C. H. Smith, and T. Wright, with other active members, arrived from London and (Alin. parts of the country. In the course of this day the town of Warwick has been rapidly filling with visitors. The programme of the week and the arrangements understood to have been entered into, with promised dis play of Warwickshire hospitality, give grounds fur ex pecting one of the most successful meetings the associa tion has yet had. It is understood that the association will be received to-morrow in the Castle by Lord Brooke, and that the architectural peculiarties of this noble baronial edifice will be explained to them by Mr. Jack son, of Leamington. On Wednesday the archzeological visitors will be received at Stoneleigh Abbey by Lord Leigh, after having visited Guy's Cliff and Kenilworth. On Thursday they will visit Stratford upon-Avon, and will be received at Charlcote, the fine Elizabethan m in sion of Mr. W. F. Lucy. A meeting will be held at the Town-hall of Stratford, by express permission of the mayor, to consider of the best measures for providing against the destruction of Shakspere's house, and for erecting some worthy memorial of the great dramatist in his native town. On Friday, after visiting the antiqui ties of Coventry, the archteologists will be received at Combe Abbey by Lord Craven. Saturday, the last day of the congress, will be almost entirely devoted to visit ing ancient castles and abbeys, and the party will be hospitably entertained at Arbury by Mr. C. N. Newde. gate, M.P. ... The chair was taken soon after three o'clock by Lord Brooke, who made a short address, expressing his regret that the unexpected illness of the president, Lord Albert Co , yngham, had rendered it necessary for him to take Ow chair. M. PETTIGREW then read a long introductory report on the labours of the association during the past year. He made a classified enumeration of all the contributions to a itiquarian and historical science which had been mad i by its members through the pages of its journal, t tui ig that period. He described the condition of the association, both as to the activity of its labourers and the extent of its funds, and showed how much had been done, considering the very m6derate means at its dis posal, in comparison with tlic lavish expenditure and small results to science which had attended the labours of former societies of this kind. Mr. Pettigrew then showed how much had been done by the association and its agents during the year to hinder desecration and de struction of our national monuments of antiquity, as well as to bring to light those which had lain concealed from observation. He concluded with a short maim', biographical and panegyrical, of the distinguished members of the: association who had been carried from its ranks by death during the year, the rather long list includidg the names of Henry Hatcher (the editor and translator of " Richard of Cirencester "), A. J. Serape, John Sydenbam, (the antiquary of Dorset), Henry Stothard, the Rev. A. B. Hutchins, Edward Bridger, T. F. Savory, the Hon. Ridley Colburue, and Mrs. Stuart Hall, who, it will be remembered, threw open her house with so much liberality to the members of the associa tion during tt,eir visit to Winchester in 1845. Sir W. BETHAM made some observations relative to a collection of drawings of early Irish antiquities which he had brought with him from Dublin. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUN TIES RAILWAY. Monday evening, between five and six o'clock, a dreadful accident, accompanied with loss of life, occurred upon the above railway to a fine young man named William Cold well, in the service of the company as a carriage cleaner. It appeared that the deceased, who had no friends or relatives in town, came up from York about nine weeks since, and representing to Mr. Grimshaw, the station-master at the Shoreditch terminus, that he had lately been employed in a similar office at Huddersfield, requested a situation upon the railway, and was engaged in the above capacity. He had repeatedly exhibited the most foolhardy daring in dashing across the line while trains were in motion, and been as frequently cautioned on the probable result of his folly, but treated the cautions with indifference, and persisted in the same course. On the preceding evening, about half-past five o'clock, he was again seen crossing the line before a train, and was called to by Mr. Grim shaw to take care or he would b e smas h e d t o pi eces , b ut the deceased mad e a careless answer and walked about a thousand yards up the rails, and at the very moment that a pilot-engine was running towards the station to pull out some luggage vans and horse boxes, lie attempted to run across t h e li ne . H e was ca ll e d to by several of the porters not to do so, but he rushed , on, and before he could reach the opposite line he was struck by tho engine, felled to the ground, and instantly killed upen the spot, his blood and brains being scattered upon the rails, between which also two holes of considerable depth were dug in the gravel by the force with which his body was driven along. The engine was instantaneously reversed, and upon raising the corpse it presented the most frightful spectacle; the right shoulder was cut and mangled in the most horrible manner, the arm only holding to the trunk by a few of the ligaments, and the flesh was torn away beneath the shoulder, exhibiting a large hole, through which the cavity of the body was perfectly visible; in addition to which, the whole of the upper half ef the head, from the mouth to the crown of the skull, was completely crushed off, the latter injury being manifestly inflicted by one of the wheels of the engine, and that to the trunk and shoulder by the guard of the wheel, a projecting piece of iron, about a yard long, and half an inch in thickness. Mr. Richardson, the company's superintendent, and Mr. Grimshaw hastened to the spot, upon learning the occur rence, and immediately procured the attendance of Mr. Wildbore, the surgeon of Shoreditch; but the latter gentleman, upon his arrival, pronounced life to be totally extinct, and said that the man must, as a matter of course, have been dead the instant he was struck by the engine. All the persons present at the time of the calamity concur in describing the occurrence as purely accidental, and that it was wholly owing to the rashness of the deceased's own conduct. THE LONDON COFFEE-HOUSE KEEPERS' ASSOCIA- TioN.---The half-yearly meeting was held on Monday. at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet-street, to receive the report t e .1 of the co mm itt ee , an d to e l ec t t wo pensioners on the' funds of the society ; Mr.. Conneybeer, the president h tecom of the association, in the chair. The report mittee stated the institution to be in a most satisfactory state, the funds being such as to justify the election of two additional pensioners. The air 3 u!it of the funded capital of the association was 1,916 Bd., the annul income from which was 70 /. 193 . 10a., and the balance in the hands of the treasurer, and s ums since re , elve d make the total fund of the itte had succeeded in association 1,946/. Bs. 4d. e Since the last adding thirty nmeewetsiungtis,ctrhieb4.cros.mmAt tie last annual din ner the subscriptions amounted_ to 751., and the com mittee telt that, with renewed exertions on the part of the subscribers, the intentions of the association will b e carried out to the fullest extent. A ballot for the eke lion of two pensioners recommended by the committee had taken play e. and the result was that a Mrs. Mary Cullender and L. W. Williams were d:clared pensioners of 13/. annually. The report having been received and adopted, and the officers fur the year ensuing duly elected, thanks were voted to the chairman, and the meeting then operated. DOMES.

(From the Railway and Shipping Journal.) The works on the Caledonian line are everywhere being prosecuted in a most vigorous manner. On the Glas4ovv main line—from the junction with the Wishaw and Coltness Railway, a distance of 35 miles, to the sum mit near Elvanhead—such progress has been made as leaves no doubt of this portion being in a stare to c pen for traffic in the course of the year, with two months to spare. The greatest activity prevails ; at the heavy points two sets or shifts of workmen are constantly em ployed. Near Carluke are the two deep ravines of Garion Gill and Car Juke Burn, over each of which the railway is carried by embankments 80 feet in height. Such works are always tedious of execution. Thrse embankments were closed, to have a road over, on Ist July. The rock cutting at Cleghorn is in active progress, and a road at the proper level may be expected through it in the mid dle of August. Over the Mouse Water will be a hand some stone viaduct of five arches, each forty feet span; nearly the whole of the stone is on the ground, and the workmen engaged in building the arches. Over the light part of the works the permanent way is laid. An excellent material for ballast is found in the furnace slag of Shotts Iron Company, a communication to which is formed by a temporary railroad. Near Carstairs the earth work is nearly finished. Towards Thankerton the heavy embankment at Grange will, the contractors are sanguine, be close in August; as also, at same time, a road through Liggetfoot excava tion. On each side of Thankerton a considerable length of permanent way is laid. At a short distance to the south of the village the main line passes through high monnds of sand and gravel (the kaims of the pea santry); this is the very best material for ballast. With so much permanent road ready, a locomotive engine would now be most useul and is daily expected, to drag the gravel from these kaims, north and south, to less fa voured localities. Towards Abington, near Leamington Bridge, the Clyde is crossed by a timber viaduct. This in course of erec tion—the principal timber being all on the ground. South of this the work is light, the excavations nearly finished, and the material proper for ballast. At Crawford the formidable whinstone cutting through the village is being executed in good earnest. It is quite expected to have a road through in August. South from this, over the Newton meadows, is the largest unfinished embankment on the division; but a large portion being from convenient side cutting, the completion in proper time may be considered safe. A very large quantity of work has been executed in the last month—the weather being favourable, and work men by no means scarce. The enterprising contractors evince their high spirit, as also sound j u d gment , at t hi s per i o d o f t h e summer, by bringing at once additional horses, when two shifts of workmen are required on the works. The services of these useful animals must, however, soon be at a discount for the purposes of the Caledonian Railway. OPENING OF THE LANDEN AND HASSELT RAILWAY.

As soon as M. de Bavay, the Minister of Public Works, had taken his place in the pavilion, he was addressed, on the part of the company, by M. I3runeau, who totn•h(d briefly but energetically on the present advantages that would result from the now line, and on the still greater importance it would assume on its junction with the line from Maestricht to Aix la-Chapelle (now in cour,,e . of execution), whereby a communication would be established between the Scheldt and the Lower Rohn, and t h e Il asse l t liailway would become the M. international line b e t ween H o ll an d an d Belgiuna. o _ m e.

A procession was then formed, and the whole party left the station, headed by the colossal figure of Don Christopher, the effigy of a knight armed cap ri pie, and with lance in hand, the history of which is involved in some obFcurity, but which is said to represent a noble Spaniard, who, in the thirteenth or fourteenth century, saved Hasselt from famine. At six o'clock a superb banquet of 200 covers was served at the Hotel de Ville, in a saloon very richly and tastefully decorated. The seat of honour was occupied by Mr. Kennard, the president of the company, who had on his right hand the Minister of Public Works, and on his left the Minister of the interior, the Archbishop of Liege, Messrs.

It was no easy to-k or slight responsi bility that was involved in the acceptance of the sove reignty of Belgium—a country just emerging from a successful revolution, and still agitated and convulsed by the struggle it had gone through. H VI triumphantly, through the prudence of his measures, and the sagacity of the councillors whom he summoned to his ald, that task has been achieved, it is not for me to dilate upon ; but, after the ceremonies of to-day, lam naturally reminded of one —perhaps the crowning bear fit—conferred by him on this country : I mean the construction of the reseau of the railways of Belgium ; and I cannot but look upon it as a conclusive manifestation both of his wisdom and his policy that almost the first great national act of the enfranchised state should be one which, while it re flected imperishable honour on his own name, secured at the same time the permanent well being of his sub jects, by develiping all the resources of the country, by bringing together its agricultural and mineral districts, and, beyond this, by its furtherance of that great system of international communication which I believe to be destined, more than any other human agency, to work out the civilisation of the world. This was an act, gentlt men, which requires no eloquence on my part to bring home to every one of you, and to which, on the present occasion, I am persuaded I need only thus briefly advert, to ensure your entering with me, heart and soul, int, the toast I have now the honour to propose—a toast which, in the presence of the distin , ,, , uished Ministers who have so kindly taken a part in our festivities, I have the greatrr p!easure in pro posing, .‘ To the heal , h and long life of his Majesty Leopold, King of the Belgians !" In his delivery of this speech, Mr. Kennard was in terrupted continually by loud acclamations, which were repeated at the close with the greatest possible en thusiasm. The Minister of Public Works having duly replied in the name of the King, proposed in return " The health of her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain," which was also greeted with prolonged cheers. Mr. Kennard acknowledged the toast, and then gave " The King of the French, and the Proprietors of France;" which was replied to by M. Bullot on the part of his countrymen present. M. de Bavay afterwards proposed " The Health of the President of the Company which was followed by a toast from M. Bruneau—" To the Prosperity of the City of Hasselt." Mr. Barry then expressed the gratitude which the company felt to the Niinister of Public Works, who had granted the concession, and aided and encouraged the works; and he was persuaded, that, from the manner in which the Government fulfilled its engagements with private companies, foreign capitalists would never hesi tate to engage in Belgium in such enterprises as the present. At ten o'clock a splendid ball, under the direction of M. Kevers, of Brussels, was given in the spacious sa loon of the Casino, and was kept up till a late hour ; and at seven and ten o'clock the following morning two special trains left Hasselt, conveying back to Brussels the numerous guests, who will, no dou'A, long preserve the recollection of the interesting ceremony they wit nessed, and of the hospitality which they received from the population of llasselt and the concessionary company. LEICESTER TRADE.—There are further indications of an improved state of things. So far as the arrange ments for the autumn are concerned, we hear there is every hope of a fair business being done at the opening of the season. Prices are firm, and there is now more employment.—Leicestershire Mercury, THE WELLINGTON STATUE. Monday a number of men were engaged in removing the remaining portion of the huge scaffolding which was erected to raise up the Wellington statue. It is expected that a fortnight will elapse before its entire removal will be completed. THE STORM IN READING.—The very Leavy tem pest on Saturday morning which visited Reading and its neighbourhood was, besides having been most de structive to the growing crops, otherwise of so violent a nature as to do much damage to the new dispensary now in course of erection in that town. Shortly before six o'clock a double flash of lightning, succeeded by a tre mendous shock of thunder, took place, and in an instant the upper portion of the building, comprising the entire huge coping, came with an awful crash to the ground. Several of the front projecting parts of the building were also demolished. The extraordinary vibration of the thunder, and loud report from the fall, resembling the discharge of artillery, Oa! med the whole neighbour hood, and produced the utmost consternation. The pon detou.: masses of stone in their descent scattered the scaffAding in all directions. One of the pieces of stone, weighing nearly 6 cwt., fell on the roof of an adjoining alms-house, but, owing to the sloping descent of the roofing, it most providentially did not krce its way through, otherwise the occupant, an infirm woman, who was in bed just under the spot where the stone lay, must have been crushed to death. When informed of her narrow escape• from imminent peril and her impending danger, the old lady rem-iincd for some time obdurate, and it was with some difficulty that her removal was at length effected. Beyond this no lives were fortunately sacrificed, though a report had gained ground to the contrary. The damage sustained by the falling of the edifice is estimated at a considerable amount.

The plan embraced the embank ment of the river both above and below bridge, the erec tion of quays and a line of warehouses extending from the Tower to the bridges,with dock entrances,and terraces on arches, the Custom House being placed in the centre; Besides these manifestly advantageous alterations, proposed to throw open to the river the noble monumentthe focus of -- , erected by the genius of IN ren, making it north :aide of an extensive amphitheatrical area on h t a similar space on the South wa rk consisting each of six were to be perfectly level,independent of the centre or the Thames, and to erect a navaltrep side y . i e n T th h e e ee h n ri tr d e ge of s arches of great span, and the necessary drawbridge.
