THE SUN, LONDON, SATUR i)Ay EVENING, JANUARY 16, 1847. 1 ..1 1 1 11 , "W :24 ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) 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 underto)k to establish the validity of his patent at law. That undertaking being made, he should read the affidavits, and consider the propriety of g-ant ing an injunction to restrain the defendants from acting so as to infringe the patent until the issue at law should have been tried. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) The Court took the Crown paper to-day. No cases came on for argument possessing any claim to public interest. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) LIABILITY OF PROVISIONAL COMMITTEEMEN.-PARROTT V. FREE. This was an action to recover the sum of 1,5001. due by the defendant to the plaintiff for certain newspaper advertisements inserted, and for work and labour done. Mr. Keene appeared for the defence, and Messrs. Humphries and Wordsworth for the plaintiff. Mr. HUMPHRIES stated that the plaintiff in this case was a newspaper agent, and the defendant, the Hon. Percy E. Freke, was a gentleman of fortnne, and the son of Lord Carberry. The question of his liability (lid not rest upon the mere fact of his name appearing on the provisional 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 Buckingham 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 oompany; at least, witness put a letter, containning 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 thei 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 Freke. 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. Win. Grogan, clerk to the plaintiff, stated that his employer resided i❑ Alderman's-walk. The advertise ments 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 1,5581. 178.2 d. The Secretary was here recalled by Mr. KEENE—Ho stated that there was a managing committee appointed on the sth of November. Colonel Freke was not a member of it. It was appointed by the provisional committee. • Mr. RUNTIMES 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. Beside 3, 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. Tile secretary was then re-called, and he proved that the registered prospectus and the printed advertise ments %sere in conformity with each other. Mr. Justice DILE 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 prove that the papers are copies of those printed at certain dates. Mr. HUMPHRIES—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-office. The papers produced by the name of the Times are papers published and circulated by that name ou the dates named on them. By Mr. KEENE—Applied for a copy of The Sun in writing. Has not got the leti er. 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 prospectuses 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 screwy 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 done by the plaintiff had been done without competent authority—at any rate no assent 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 the 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 aolumber of objections, for which he had apologised to the jury, but it was his bounden duty to protect his client in every way, and he had shown considerable learning and inge nuity in doing so. The question which was mainly for their consideration was, whether the defendant bad given sufficient authority to the provisional committee to act in his absence. The mere fact 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 purpose, 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. EXCHEQUER-(THIS DAY.) BIDDER V. FITZGERALD. In this cause, which was tried before the Lord Chief Baron, at the last sittings at Westminster, as an tu,de fended cause, thejury 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 professional services rendered on behalf of the Birmingham and Daventry Junction Railway, of which the defendant was one of the provisional committe e . At the time of the jury giving in their verdict the Lord Chief Baron took occasion to remark upon the reckless mode of their giving the verdict for a,sum larger than even that claimed by the plaintiff's counsel, and which wa4l not supportl d 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 kit 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 t)eon very greatly infected with the popular mania against provisional committeemen, the verdict was a most unaccountable one.—Rule granted. BARNARD V. 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 againit 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 knowledg 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. - COMMON PLEAS-(THIS DAY.) 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 BYLES 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 rule 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 Building 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' absolute. The circumstances have been frequently fully reported. BANKRUPTCY,—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.) LIABILITY OF PARENTS.—IN RE GARRAD. 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 COMMISSIONER did not consider this was an undertaking to pay ; it was not like a verdict obtained. The Solicitor said it was virtually an acknowled went, 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 common law, 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 able, 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 must be an agreement to pay signed by the party or some person authorised by him. The Solicitor said the attorney of the defendant sianed the consent. _ _ _ The Learned COMMISSIONER ultimately held that the proof could be admitted. The Learned COMMISSIONER, on looking at the pro ceedings, said that, according to them, there was 20s. in the pound, but the official assignee said all the good debts were bad beyond hope, and " property" depended ou the carrying 0n,,0f a Chsncerysuit. The bankrupt at last was allowed to pass. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) Thomas Johnson, an elderly man, was charged with uttering a forged accep:ance. James Cook, engraver, 50, Frith-street, Soho-square, said there was an account between him anti the pri soner, and the latter came to him on Wednesday, the 14th October, and offered him a bill for 231. 145.. pur porting to be accepted by Edward Breese,. 26, Hart street, Covent zarden. He took the bill, and gave biro the balance over the account, 91. I Is. The bill fell due yesterday, and was presented to Mr. Breese for pay ment, when he positively denied having ever atocepted it. Edward Breese, harness plater, 26, Liart-street, Covent-garden, paid tho bill in tiucativu was Jucvt-L ac cepted by him, or by his authority. He had had only two bill transactions with the prisoner, but this was not one of them. The prisoner said he had had many bill transactions with Mr. Breese, and this was one of them. One of the detective force applied to have the prisoner remanded for a week, as there were traces: of other transactions which it was but too probable would turn out to be of a similar character.—The prisoner . was re manded till this day week. CLERKENWELL—(THIS DAY.) r l . sact Gr c e s en ar w al oo J d o , h o n n H th a e ll n w h e a r rg e e pi n a f ce b d ein a t g he bar a an nd d w di i s t e h rtr s l a y ni t:: : before M r . gallery r S i.. n a a d w l e a r d ' s D - Sadler':-Wells w e l e l s,s .and a Theatre, lsn police-constable Doyle, 197 G, who was on duty at the theatre. Dawes stated that about the middle act of tb u tragedy of King or No King, he heard considerable noise and confusion in the gallery, and expressions of tbze grossest and most indecent description uttered in finch a loud tone of voice as to be perfectly audible in eve try part of the house. Upon entering the gallery, he round 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 bot'b fell, and Isaacs struck and kicked him several ,times fp> violently • about tke head and face as to almost satur ate all the tipper part of his dress with blood. Doyle came to his assistance, and with considerable difficulty the y removed the prfsoners from the gallery, and convey ed them to the station-house. Doyle, 107 G, confirmed the previous state' nent. Mr. J. C. Greenwood, the lessee of the thet are, was in attendance, and said he sought for the infiitltion of no heavier punishment upon the prisoners than i was neces sary to compel orderly conduct on the ;tlart of the audience. Reynolds, a constable of the theatre, said, iin reply to the magistrate, the prisoner Isaacs had been ,se mteneed to seven days imprisonment about two years aw,o for disor derly conduct at the theatre ; and that last night as he was observed to be under the influence of liqu.var, he was cautioned upon entering the theatre by the m oney taker, and only admitted on promising to beha .re himself pi operly. The Magistrate said, that from what he had heard, he believed that there was not a theatre in lgondon con ducted in a more orderly, and in every w; ry, 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 L -)radon after . it had been driven from all the larger tb eatres. It such language as that used by Isaacs were per mitted, the beneficial effects from a th eatre con ducted in such a manner, must be lost, anti those em barking in it ruined, for no man would bring his wife or children there at the hazard of havini rg their ears so offended and polluted. As it appeared the at Hall was but little to blame in comparison with his con ipanion, he should order him to be discharged, but wit i r respect to Isaacs, his conduct had been so disgrace: fill, that he should send him to the I - louse of Corret ;Lion for one month, without the alternative of a fine. Isaacs, who boasted at the station-house a that he did not care for the magistrate, as he could pa y double the highest fine which could be imposed, seeirled quite be wildered as he was led off to the van by W tiddington.

'4 GLASGOW, DUMFRIES , AND CARL (I:3LE, AND GLASGOW, PAISLEY, KILMARYOCK, AND AYR RAILWAY (No. 3). This was the petition of the above com: l ?any for leave to bring in a Bill to make a branch from the Crawick branch of the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Car. lisle Railway to the main line and other small branches. The length of the whole was forty-six miles, and the e. stimated cost 900,0001. Tho customary formal proofs were ca ?Ipleted, but there was a petition containing 80 allegati tons against the plans, &c., the hearing of which was at tjourncd till Monday. (Committee Room No. 23, before Mr. Exan timer T. E. MAY and Mr. Assistant-Examiner Gurtx.v, IL.) UNOPPOSED LIST. The following petitions for Bills being unopposed, the customary lbrmal proofs were put in, and the 51 sanding orders declared to have been complied with : EAST ANGLIAN RAILWAY BILL ; BIRKENHEAD AND HERCULANEUM DO CRS; MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND Lint JLN SHIRE RAILWAY; BIRKENHEAD DIVROVEMENT BILL OPPOSED LIST. GLASGOW DUMFRIES, AND CARLILSE RAILWAY, and GLASGOW, PAISLEY, KILMARNOCK, AND AYR RAILWAY—(No. 2). This:was the p. tition of the above companies for leave to bring in a Bill to make certain extensions mad branches. extending to upwards of 36 miles of railway. The esti mated cost was 660,000/., and the engineer Mr. John Miller. The customary formal proofs having been put in, Mr. GRAHAM opposed the petition on behalf of a Mr. Weemys, who complained of inaccuracy and defects in the plans, sections, and books of references. Some of the allegations were sustained in a qualified form, and the case closed. READING, GUILDFORD, AND REIGATE RAILWAY. This was the petition of the above company, for leave to bring in a Bill to make certain deviations in their line, and to repeal the restricting clauses contained in the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Act of 1846, so far as they related to the construction of a particular portion of their line. The deviations were only two of a trifling nature, one extending to a mile, and the other three quarters of a mile in length. The petition was opposed by Mr. Charles PenxEs, on behalf of several Owners, lessees, and occupiers of land, and the Direct London and Portsmouth Railway Com pany, on the ground that the company were seeking for powers which would seriously Injure both the land holders and the railway company. One portion of the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Railway will pass over the same ground as the Direct Portsmouth ; but .the latter company by their Act have the option of making this part of the railway, provided they do so and pur chase the land for the purpose within a give n period of time. The present petition was for a Bill to repeal that restriction, to enable the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Company at once to complete their line in tact. The landowners, however, object to this, on the ground that their land would be cut up twice where Parliament had already decided that it should only be disturbed once. Mr. Examiner MAY said, it did not appear to him that the standing orders had /been violated in any re spect. The question raised did not come within the province of a standing-orders tribunal.—Standing orders complied with. BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY. This was the petition of the Bristol and Exeter Rail way for leave to introduce a Bill to make a branch from Taunton to Castle Cary. 22 miles in length. The esti mated cost was 352,0001., and the engineer, Mr. Charles Ha tton Gregory. The petition was against the plans, but no one ap pearing to support it, the customary formal proofs were sent in, and the standing orders declared to be complied with. GLASGOW, PAISLEY, KILMARNOCK, AND AYR RAILWAY (No. 5.) This was the petition of the above company for leave to introduce a Bill to make a new entrance and station in Glasgow. The length was one mile and a half, and the estimated cost 350,0001. The formal proofs were found to be defective, inas much as one of the notices had not been served within the time specified by the standing orders. Mr. GRATIANE opposed the petition, on behalf of the Caledonian Railway Company, and succeeded in sus taining one or two allegations as to inaccuracies in the plans and sections. GLASGOW, PAISLEY, KILMARNOCK, AND AYR (No. 4.) This was a similar petition to the last. It was opposed by the Caledonian Company, and a few unimportant allegations were sustained. The inquiry was adjourned till Monday. RAILWAY RETURNS.

DUBLIN, JAN. 14.—The meeting of Irish peers and gentry, held this day at the Rotunda, was in all peers and gentry, held this day at the Rotunda, vas in all res place in respects most imposing and important assemblage that has t Ireland for many a day. To give anything like a correct report of the proceedings would be impible, the Com mittee, for some undivulged reason, havin c , t hou IT h w t as pr d o o p n e e r to exclude the press. Enough, however, f h and said has transpired to justify the conclusion , that if the future proceedings of " the movement party " be charac terised by the same unanimity which distinguishedthe meet of this day, the result must be beneficial_ Irish society to Ireland. It is certainly a new feature in In to see men of all ranks, politics, and creeds, endeavouring to forget former feuds, n profess ing their anxiety to elevate their country and and t.eir 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 Miltown, the Earl of Clonmel, Viscount Massarene, Lord Lord Farnham, Lord Cloncurry, Lord Wallscourt, Lo 1 nnell, Dun candle, Lord Clarina, Lord Castlemaine ; D"iel CVTilliam M.P. •, the Right Hon.

He dwelt of forcing the Government to • t upon the necessity import food to permit their - food for the people, an f the false theories of trade to sacrifice the lives of the people of Ireland. He entered at some length i n t o . project of an Irish party, and strongly urged the necessity of its prompt formation and united action. Having recounted the labours o f th e 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 speec h 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 entereders the room, and was received with loud and enthusiastic'ch be y the whole meeting. Mr. GEORGE ALEXANDER HA3IILTON, 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 un i t i ng 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 irom confiscation." The Honourable and Learned Gentleman proceeded at great length to develop the necessity that existed for 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 proclaimod.—(Loud cheering fol lowed this declaration.) He proceeded to say, that hebound himself to the principles of that union, and would devote all his energy and time to the working oat its object, and seek ing the advancement of Ireland, totally heedless of all party 190 577 618 588 278 3,363 8,284 515 2,125 890 926 15,171 358 34,095 04 4,995 5,407 7,718 1,880 516 15,432 2,032 604 1.21‘; 1,196 5,858 245 5,985 '317 '1,322 159 542 585 644 299 588 2,55 G 6,547 1,892 701 15,328 705 4,009 5,719 7,004 1,468 424 13,256 1,619 439 1.1117 5,020 423 5,129 1,139 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 principle by any man, but a vow by all to unite for the salvation of the people and the permanent interests of Ireland. He drelt 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 for 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 end.—(Loud cheering followed this.) Food, then, was the first object.—(Cheering 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 nnanimously, and with repeated plaudits. Mr. C. DILLON, of Fermoy, spoke to the resolution, eulo gised the committee, and referred to the unanimity of 'B2 as an example of what might be now done. Mr. B. OSBORNE 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 could do.—(Repeated cheers.) Mr. MONSELL, of Tervo, observed that the reception given to the suggestion plainly showed the feeling of the Irish gen try as to the great immediate object—food, and the necessity of forcing the Government to do its duty. If Mr. Osborne put a motion 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 be left to the men who formed the Irish Parliamentary Party—(Cheers)—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 : " 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 will 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 incalculably extensive deficiency in the stock of food ,we farther call upon the 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 for 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 disentitle them to Government contributions in aid of their funds." The reading of these resolutions was received with loud cheers. The Noble Earl pledged himself to support the Irish party if that party would seek food for the people.— (Cheers.) Unity now was essential, and if the country was to be saved, it was by union alone it could be done. Colonel DUNNE, D.L., seconded the resolution. The people should have food. He was a political supporter of the Government, but there was a greater and a better party for which they should first work—their country.—(Cheers.) Mr. WALKER, ex-M.P. for Wexford, supported the resolu tion. Wexford, the richest county in Ireland, was reduced to the common level of the most distressed parts of Ireland. The west were without food—Wexford was without food too. The Government should import—they should make grants to the country to relieve it from'its difficulty; the people should be turned to the culture of the land to sure a crop for next year.—(Cheers.) But meantime they should be fed.— (Cheers.) They could not work the land if they were not fed, and they had no food unless the Government did its duty and gave up its false theories.—(Cheers.) The resolution was then put and carried. Lord BEI:NARD, M.P., proposed the third resolution as follows . "That we have heard with alarm and regret, that in many districts in Ireland the usual extent of land has not been prepared, and cannot be prepared, for cultivation, owing to the poverty of the occupants, and consequently will be waste during the ensuing year; and while we confidently rely on the exertions of the landed proprietors to protect this coun try from the great evils which must follow from such a neg lect, we cannot avoid calling the special attention of Govern ment to the alarming reports which have reached us on this important subject. " That it is an ascertained fact, that the supply of seed in this country will be deficient, and to meet this evil we earnestly recommend that seed depots be established by Government." .lea Liln_ npolro Irr;th rn.cola o.a...eta:boo,* Am ‘1.4.0 c.k.se• ..r tion in his county (Cork), and regarded it as a most falla cious principle of 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 consequence of the operation of this principle, to ship from any country a sufficiency of food for the starving population. 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 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. — (llear, hear.) lie 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 he made for th e 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 Irons it, so far as it has boen ex pended on unproductive works, shall fall on the empire at large, and not be thrown upon Ireland alone, much less upon those classes in 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. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE. MONUMENT TO THE LATE EARL OF YARBOROUGH.— The subscriptions at the Royal Squadron House amount to 6741. Ils.; this is independent of those at Ryde, and also at the London bankers. A special meeting of the members of the squadron is called at the Thatched House Tavern for Wednesday next, the 20th inst., at noon, on business connected with the election of a new Commodore. The Vice-Commodore's yacht is in a very forward state, and is expected to be afloat in May. She is con sidered one of the most beautiful models that even the Whites have constructed. She promises to be a regular clipper • she will be brig rigged, and is 380 tons. The fate Commodore's yatch, the Kestrel, which has been' purchased into the navy, has been taken off the mud here, and towed by the Echo steamer to Portsmouth, to be fitted and armed. There are now only 22 yachts here. FRENCH PLAYS—ST. JAMES. La Dame de St. Tropez, which on its first production at this theatre, during the last engagement of M. F. Le maitre, excited such thrilling interest, was performed for the first time this season last evening. Frederic Lemaitre being, of course, the George Maurice. His George Maurice is a superb piece of acting, and it really last evening seemed to be even more powerful and effective than it appeared two seasons ago. The drama is most artistically constructed, and the last scene is the cli max. In that last scene how painfully true to nature is the acting of Frederic Lemaitre. His dying scene is the most affecting thing on the stage. He was admirably supported by Mademoiselle Clarisse as Hortense, by Du b y Cartigny a s the Notary. The house was crowde. The various ornamental woods lately brought from New Zealand surpass every thing of the kind known to the cabinet-maker of this country. The company have certainly shown, through Mr. Seveir, a very intelligent German, who was a settler at Wellington, not only the extraordinary rarity and beauty of these woods, but to what elegant purposes they may be applied. A visit of inspection to the New Zealand Company's House in Broad-street will amply repay the curious in the natural produce of this island. OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.—At the close of the last session it was fully expected that the new House of Lords would have been ready fur the reception of their Lord ships at their next meeting; but, although that House is in a very considerable state of forwardness, her Majesty will once more, and in all probability for the last time, address her faithful Parliament on Tuesday next from the throne in the present House of Lords. .

And the history is no mere compilation of periods with which the veriest tyro'is familiar, for if a work is ever issued at all partaking of this cha racter it is invariably one of conspicuous worth, either by the eminence of its author or the excellence of his production. Above all, the price is singularly trifling. For what would formerly have only pur chased a pamphlet or a magazine, the subscriber receives a composition fit to be enshrined upon his bookshelves for frequent consultation, and for not un frequent reperusal. Besides this, the paper is good, the typography clear and readable, the printing of the neatest description, and the binding of an elegant simplicity. The merits of the miniature history of the ever-memorable and, in all respects ever glorious "Revolution in France," by M. Mignet, require no detailed celebration. We know no small history so solid, so compact and so shrewd. Every sentence contains the greatest possible amount of information in the fewest possible words. Mignet has none of the amplification of Thibaudeau, he is devoid of that surprising passion of enthuiasm which imparts so much of animation to the pages of Thiers, and which, whether he is writing of Danton or Na poleon, elevates him to the dignity of a Hero-wor shipper—a man capable of appreciating all the subli mities and goodnesses, all the heights and the depths, all the harmonies and the contradictions of those great names which history has invested with immortality. Still, though without these most estimable qualities, Mignet possesses others of the highest importance— calmness, penetration, lucidity, and a comprehensive benevolence. The goddess before whose throne he makes his reverent genuflections is Liberty. The human tribunal whose authority he can alone admit is the people. He abhors tyranny as he does war, and loaths fanaticism, whether religious or political, more than either the vice of despots or of warriors. In Carrel we have a similar disposition and a congenial spirit, only more purified from the acerbities incident to one plunged into the consideration of complicated and tumultuous scenes. With a valour like that of Bayard, Armand Carrel, the accomplished and chivalrous editor of the National newspaper, had the simplicity of a child and the tenderness of a woman. So loving and forgiving was the nature of Carrel that we can almost picture him to ourselves weeping over the nameless grave of the young Saint Just—that youthful terrorist who, with the black Hair floating over his shoulders, and his beautiful counte nance inflamed with emotion, used to be the voice of Robespierre in the Tribune of the Convention, and the arm of Robespierre among the battalions of the northern army. We can almost imagine Carrel weeping over the grave of Saint Just seeing that he more fully than any one else, would have recognised that the crimes of the young terrorist originated in his affection and loyalty for the people, and in his passionate idolatry of freedom. He would have seen that the sentiments which fanaticism had contorted into a cruel and almost diabolical brutality, were in the abstract divine, and sprung from nature. So exquisite, so benignant, so elevated was the soul of Armand Carrel, who was born at Rouen on the Bth of May, 1800, and who was shot dead in a duel by M. de Girardin, in the Bois de Vincennes, near Paris, on the 22d of July, 1836 : Emilie de Gi rardin being the editor of La Presse, and Armand Carrel editor of the National. It is pleasant to think that over the humble tomb erected to this noble hearted republican in the churchyard of St. Mande, his memory will be perpetuated to posterity by the admirable bronze statue from the chisel of David (d'Angers), " representing Carrel standing erect, the right arm extended before him, his head slightly thrown back, in the haughty attitude he bore when he evoked the shade of Marshal Ney before the House .of Lords." That famous apostrophe, " de livered in a sonorous, vibrating, and solemn voice," is justly characterised by the writer in the Galerie des Contemporains Illustres, as "une des plus mag nifiques efforts d'eloquence dans ce temps-ci." As an utterance from that same mind, this narrative of " The Counter-Revolution in England " is thrice welcome, especially as it is, tor every English man, invested with a national ,interest. We observe that Carrel, like all preceding his torians of the epoch of the Protectorate, is tainted with the same blundering misapprehension of Oliver's character, which Mr. Carlyle has so nobly vindicated within the past twelvemonths. The former says that his Highness's career was blurred by "that most odious and degrading of all human vices, hypocrisy." We are afraid, from this expres sion, that Mr. Carlyle would include Armand in that category of false writers which he has scorned under the soubriquet of " Dryasdust," and that he would place this history of the counter-revolution among " the old blockhead books." In so doing, as far as Oliver Cromwell is concerned, he would be right. But not further. There is the impress of a firm, candid, generous, man-l ov i ng , G o d-l ov i ng spirit in the pages of this volume. It can win its way without the penny-trumpet of puffery. Of th e companion biographies of the two greatest painters and one of the greatest geniuses the would ever saw, namely of Raffaello—the divine Raffaello—and Michael Angelo, by M. M. Duppa and De Quincy, nothing whatever need be said, sav i ng th a t t h e translations are mostly accurate, and here and there extremely graceful. The original biographies, of which these are the reprints, have already acquired more than an European celebrity. They a r e b eau tif u l versions of the careers of two extraordinary men. We are surprised at one contradiction which has crept into the life of Raffaello, and we know not whether to attribute that contradiction to a misappre hension of Mr. Hazlitt, or to a flaw in the French volume. The matter is this. In the elegant me moir of Raffaello, written by M. Quatremere de Quincy, in the Biographie Universelle we re member perfectly well that he denies the story of that great artist having visited Florence during the residence there of Leonardo da Vinci ; indeed, he goes so far as to undertake to prove the impossibility of an interview between them, by making out an alibi in the case of Raffaello. Yet in page 205 of the present volume, we find these words put into the mouth of the same Quatremere de Quincy :—" There is no mention anywhere of an intimacy between them (da Vinci and Raffaello) at Florence ; but it is certain that they were both resident there at the same time." There is a beautiful medallion likeness of Michael Angelo as a frontispiece. Mr. Bogue has made a noble endeavour in his "European Library" to diffuse some really useful knowledge among the multitude. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR.

Last night, shortly before ten o'clock, a frightful oc currence took place in the eixter sire iron foundry beloeg ine• to Messrs. Ainger and Co., Upper Ground-street, Brack friars. It appears that a number of persons were engaged in castings heavy piece of metal, and they had just succeeded in filling a ran 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 spake 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 th e building, and then rushed through the windows and &ors like a discharge of a thousand rockets. For 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. Hambleton, 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, when 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 stripped by the 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 hurst, 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. '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 English 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 pay better than any other outlay on any line adopt ing the plan. The swift boats on the several canals have long had the scheme in operatien—to warm their best cabins. Copper tubes, about four feet long 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 in a few moments, even in the,longest train: Think of going to London, or elsewhere, this cold weather, 'w arm all the way, and warm feet at the end. Reader, would )ou give an extra shilling for such a luxury ?—Liverpool ✓'ournal. It is stated by one of our contemporaries that the French Government is about to take into consideration a project which Napoleon intended to execute for establishing a iliac of signals along the whole of the French coast, so as to put them all in immediate communication with each other Galignani. THE ARMY.—DUELIN, JAN. 14.—Major-General his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, K.G., has arrived in Dublin, and assumed the command of the troops in the Dublin district, :n succession to Lieutenant-General Wyndham. Captain the lion. J. W. B. Macdonald, aide de-camp to his Royal Highness, has also arrived in Dublin. MR. LAING, TUE EX-MAGISTRATE.—It is stated that Mr. Laing has been appointed magistrate for Australia, and that he leaves England next week to assume his ap pointment in that distant colony. Sir John Forbes, Bart., late of Fintray House, and Craigievar Castle, Aberdeen, N. 8., had made his will in November, 1844; having well provided for Lady Forbes, his two sons, and five daughters : his wife with a jointure of 750/. a year, his daughters also with a provision under the same contract, as well as a legacy under the will, the eldest son succeeding to the estates of Fintray and Craigievar, and the youngest to the Corse estate; and has left all other his property to his eldest son. The acting executor is John Angus, Esq., advocate, Aberdeen. REPRESENTATION OF TIIE TOWN OF GALWAY.— The Limerick Chronicle says :—" The reports of theretirement of Sir Valentine Blake, M P., for Galway, are very current ' in that town, and that Mr. Solicitor-General Monahan is to succeed him in the represehtation." A ocuiain-vr AT rziß LiveiarooL AarpmermEATEE., —On Monday night, a man in the gallery of the Amphi theatre, who had left his place during one oi the acts, missed his footing while endeavouring to spring into his former seat, was precipitated over the railing into the pit, a depth of at least thirty feet, and fell upon two ladies. The bench upon which they were sitting was split, but marvellous to relate, with the exception of a few bruises, the man and the ladies were, we believe, uninjured.—Liverpool tlfetcury, EXTRAORDINARY RENCONTRi.---The quid nuns of an ancient town in Derbyshire that has figured rather con spicuously in our columns of late, were on the 13th instant thrown into a high state of excitement by a rencontre in the public market-place of a somewhat extraordinary character. It appears that for some time past squibs, composed of very combustible materials, have been flying about the town, to the annoyance of some parties, and the amusement of others ; and an explosion of a rathe r ludicrous nature has at length taken place, which our faithful chronicler thus graphically narrates :—Between the hours of twelve and one o'clock on the day above-named, two highly respectable parties,—one a gallant lieutenant in her Majesty's navy, the other a son of an indefatigable and very useful Member of the House of Commons—happened to meet in the market-place, and mu tually suspecting each other of being the author of certain printed cards, letters, handbills, &c., words ensued, and they challenged each other with the fact. From words they speedily came to blows, which resulted in a gallant contest for the victory. Round one—the combatants closed in, " pitched" right and left with determined fierceness, each bent on doing great execution, and bringing the battle to a climax ; chances about even, but the " young 'un " rather the best of it. Round second: fiercely contested, science at a discount, with both, passion getting the better of judgment; the " young 'un " pitched into his opponent's " bread- basket," who, in return, struck at the visage of his antagonist, neither doing any execution. Several rounds followed in succession, and a crowd having collected round the combatants, a friend of • one of the parties interfered. The Gallant Lieutenant was dragged from the scene into a shop by a chivalrous lady, and the young esquire was forcibly held by the bystanders, and prevented pursuing his antagonist, and taking the full amount of his injuries—real or imagined --out in " kind." The former, says our chronicler, showed marks about the eyes, and blood was seen at intervals to trickle from the mouth of the esquire. Of course the conflict caused a great sensation in the" ancient and loyal" town, and it will serve the quid nuncs to talk about for many a day to come. We insert these particulars in the hope that their publication will tame these fiery spirits, and bring them back to a pro per state of mind. Those who play at bowls must expect rubbers • and if either, or both parties, are guilty of the con duct which they impute to each other, we would advise them to .fight the battle out with ink, and most religiously eschew a contest with clenched fists.—From the Second Edition of the Derby Reporter. • At the meeting of the Royal Humane Society, on Tuesday, a silver medal was unanimously voted to Com mander J. W. Finch (then Lieutenant of the Victory), for saving the life of a seaman by jumping overboard through a port-hole after him, from the Naiad, in July last, during - very rough weather. This is the second occasion of Com mander Finch receiving a testimonial from the same society —the former was for saving lives during a storm, from a wreck. THE HYDROPATHIC SYSTEM.—Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, an inquiry, which was commenced on Wednesday before Mr. Higgs, coroner for the Duchy of Lancaster, was resumed at the Crown and Three Horse-shoes, Enfield Chase, on view of the body of Martha Hobbs, aged 20, whose death was alleged to have been the effect of the hydropathic treat ment. Dr. Lovell, who had attended deceased as her me dical adviser, and who is a practitioner cf the hydropathic system, was present, with a solicitor to watch the proceed- - ings, and the inquest-room was crowded. Eliza Ronsell, ser vant to Mr. Swanwick, boarding-house-keeper. Chase Side, Enfield, said that the deceased was in the same servicsein? to Monday week.
