cbtrl, Viabitton SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP I. Mr. AUSTIN (in continuation from our Afternoon Edi tion) eaid—The whole expenditure sought to be made by the five Bills of the South-Eastern Company was about three millions of money, for which t 25 miles of railway would be made. The rival scheme would cost about two millions, fur which 72 miles were proposed to be constructed. Taking the two schemes comparatively, the distance now from London to Dover was 87 miles; by the Mid Kent South-Eastern line, with good gradients, the distance, would be 75 ; and by the South.-Eastern (Chart) line, with in ferior gradients, 74 miles. The Brighton line, with bad gradients, would be 75 miles and 2 furlongs. From London to Tunbridge-Wells the distance was now 40 miles. By the South-Eastern improved line, with good gradients, it would be 32 miles; and by the Brighton line, with bad gradients, 28. From London to Hastings the distance at present was 73 miles; by the improved South-Eastern line, with good gradients, it would be reduced to 64 miles; by the Brighton line, with bad gradients, it would be 61 miles. From London to Canterbury the distance now was 80 miles; by the im proved South-Eastern scheme it would be reduced to 60 miles; while by the Brighton line, with bad gradients, the distance would be 62 miles. The distance to Maidstone was at present 55 miles. The South-Eastern scheme would reduce it to 35 miles; by the Brighton line it would also be 35 miles. These were the comparative dis tances of the two projects. The distance to Sheerness by the South-Eastern branch against which there was no compet ing line, would be 46 miles. The Learned Gentle man then proceeded to explain the history of the reduction of the fares on the South-Eastern line and their subsequent increase, in which he contended that the reduction was a mere experiment to see if it were pos sible to carry on the company at the lowest possible rate of fares—lower, in fact, than any other line in the kingdom. The experiment had failed, and the fares were after a time raised, though they were still lower than many of the principal lines in the kingdom, and less than those charged by the Brighton Company, while they ran more third-class trains than almost any company in the empire. Colonel Middleton. of the Maidstone depot, was examined, with the object of showing the great advantage of the pro posed South-Eastern Kent lines to the public service. Colonel Menzies, of Chatham, gave evidence to the same effect, after which, The Committee adjourned till to-morrow at twelve o'clock TATTERSALL'S—THIS EVENING. Six o'cLocii.

Lord BROUGHAM said that he had received the advice and assistance of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Contnissioners both in town and icountry, and the sug gestions he had received from them were so valuable. that he had been induced to make great alterations and additions to the Bill which now stood fur the second reading. He wished, therefore, to withdraw that Bill and bring in another in its place, which he now moved to be read a first time. The Bill was then read a first time. Several private Bills were brought up from the House of Commune, and read a first time. INFLUX OF IRISH INTO HULL. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition — from the corporation of Hull, to which he begged to call the attention of his friends opposite, lamenting the calamity which had befallen Ireland, and stating that they felt is to be a great hardship that they had to support the Irish poor, a great number of whom flocked into the town, in addition to their own. -They also prayed the Legislature to pass an effective poor law, and that it would take measures to ciwry it out, as was done in England. They further stated that they felt no confidence in the administration of the law if confided to the Irish alone. His Lordship read a letter which had been forwarded with the petition, shuw• ing that the rates wk re now levied unequally. The parish of which the letter spoke contained upwards of 6,000 acres, 1,160 of which were in Chancery, and could not pay any contribution, but there were 2,600 acres which were not repiesented at all, and the proprietors of which were subscribers neither to the dispensary nor any other charitable institution in the parish. POOR LAW SETTLEMENT. Lord ASHBURTON preiented several petitions against the law passed last year. SILK MANUFACTURES. The Earl of ELLENBROUGII said that in moving for Towns of the exports from this country last year he had stated that the exports of cotton, woollen, and linen manufactures had been smaller than before,: but that the silk tnanufactui es appeared to be ttationary, or had rather artvanceci. In looking, to those returns, however, he found that while' the value of the who/.. of the ex ports of silk was 2,345,000/, upwards of 1,461,000/. had been importo d into this country during the laz.t three years, so that the net value was only 879,000/. He be lieved that this arose from the fact that a large quantity of bandannas were introduced into this country which here underwent a process of manufacture, and then were exported as British manufacture. He would now move the return of the exports of the goods solely British, ai distinguished from those which had been previously import, d, and then exported as British. The Esrl of CLARENDON believed that large quan tities of bandannas wen, introduced into this country, which were after wards di cd, and thus hiving undergone a procets here acre deemed to become British manufac ture. He had no I,l)j,.etion to the return. The Earl of RADNOR suggested that the declared value should be stated as distinguished from the official value. The return was then ordered. PUBLIC WORKS IN IRELAND. In reply- to a question Irvua the Duke of BUCK INGHAM, The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that all the in formation at present in possession of Government had been presented in the books laid on their Lordships' table, and further inquiries at the present moment would be likely to disturb the existing arrangements. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH wished to ask the Noble Marquis if he had any objection to lay on the table of the House a continuation of the correspondence of the Board of Works since the last publication of the correspondence ? The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, there would be no objection to publish from time to time all the cor respondence. Ile wished, also, to take that opportunity of observing, with re , rard to Capt. Wynne, that the names of the labourers struck off the lists of the destitute persons employed. on ,the public works in Gore, could not be re turned as choir names were not recorded in the books of the relief committee. He aim) wished to observe that Captain Wynne was not now employ ed in Clare, but in Galway. Lord BROUGHAM moved for a return of the exami nation and commitment of four boys who were com mitted to prison by a Middlesex magistrate for taking the cap off another boy, and threw it into a field. — Agreed to. Lord MONTEAGLE moved for a return of the num ber of persons who were transported during the last ten years in Ireland.—Agreed to. CUSTODY OF OFFENDERS BILL.

FORESTALLERS—IRISH POOR-LAW. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented a petition from the unemployed operatives of Bury, praying the enforce ment of the laws against forestallers, and all persons who kept up the price in the markets. They also prayed that a complete poor-law might be passed for Ireland. payable in every case where the probate duty was claimed in this country. From that time up till 1845 the first lawyers in the c.untry concurred in this decision. In the case of Arnold v. Arnold, which, however, had no bearing at all on the present case, Lord Cottenham decided that the parties were not liable to pay the le gacy duty in England, as they had done so in India. In the case of the Attorney-General v. Thompson. it was decided that legacy duty was payable, and Mr. Thomp son accordingly paid it. Dr. BOWRING said Mr. Thompson denied that he had paid it. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL admitted that the decision was appealed against, but Lord Campbell, Lord Brougham, and Lord Lynd hurst decided that the payment of the legacy duty was governed by "domicile." If this case had occurred before 1845, the duty would not have been payable ; but if the principle of the Hon. Gentleman was to be adoptei, every shilling levied since 1798 would have been an illegal act. It was a prin ciple in law, that all money paid through the decision of juries, or by mistake, was not recoverable.—(Cries of " Ob, oh," and laughter.) He repeated, that was a principle in law. On these grounds he felt it his duty to oppose the motion of the Hon. Gentleman. Mr. SCOTT said that it appeared that Mr. Douglas had paid a legacy duty upon certain moneys to the amount of 9,2001., the Attorney-General had stated that the case was one perfectly similar to that which might happen between private parties, inasmuch as the money had been paid with the belief that the first interpretation of the law required it. Now he took the strongest exceptions to the arguments of his Learned Friend, for the law had not been decided, and at the very moment when the Crown demandud the money the Crown were aware that the law was contested in the case of Thompson v. the Attorney-General.--- (Hear.) Now, if the case was similar to that of private parties, he ventured to say that any man would blast his character for ever as a man of honour, if he refused to pay the money, and what was more, he would affirm that there was not a mercantile house in the whole of the city of London that would act in the manner the Crown had acted in this case. He believed that domicile, instead of governing the law of legacy duty for only the last two years, had been the rule tor the last twenty years. The Government, there fore, in calling upon the administrators to pay 9,2841. at that time, were acting against the principle of the law as then existing, and as acted upon by the judges. The Hon. Member then referred to precedents in support of this position, and concluded by expressing his determi nation to support the motion of the Hon. and Learned Member for Bolton. Sir F. THESIGER said, that after the very clear statement of his Hon. friend, the Attorney-General, there remained very little to state on this subject. The only question the House had to consider was, whether it would grant a select committee, which would be con sidered to be equivalent ordering the money to be re funded. It seemed strange to him, that persons who had saved money under the law as it then stood, should afterwards, on a change taking place in the law call upon the Government to refund that money. He would certainly vote against the proposition of his Hon. Friend. Mr. BERNAL said that the Right Hon. Gentleman who had last spoken, had omitted one important point in his view of this question. He (Mr. Bernal) maintained, if the facts contained in the petition were correct, the money had been paid under a protest, and that at once took the case out of the narrow circle in which the Right Hon. Gentleman had placed it. It was a question of vast im portance, and i 1 was very necessary that points involving considerations like the present should be permanently set at rest. The money was paid according to the then construction of the law, and not under the law itself, and the motion could not therefore be objected to on that ground. Dr. BOWRING replied, and asked leave to withdraw his motion, promising at the same time, at a future period to bring the subject forward in another shape. The motion was accordingly withdrawn. Mr. HUME postponed his motion for a return of the number of persons flogged in the British navy till after the other or(!ers of the day. Lord G. BENTINCK moved fcr a comparative return of the number of deaths which have occurred in each parish of Ireland in each of the three last periods of six months, commencing the Ist day of September, and ending the Ist day of March respectively with a summary for each period. It was important that they should know whether the proper course had been taken, in order to save Luman life. There had • been two systems in operation. o,le, the last year, which provided food and maintenance for the people ; and this year a syst m of political economy in which all the previous precautions were treated as of no use. It was for this purpose that he moved for these returns. Mr. LABOUCIIERE could assure the Noble Lord and the House that whatever difficulty there might exist in meeting the present motion he bad no wish but to furnish the fullest information of the destruction of human life which had taken place. Ile regretted it as much as any man could do, and he believed it was going on, and would continue to do so to a fearful extent. APPREHENSION OF CART ROBBERS. Robberies of carts leaving Manchester for the country, after dusk, have of late been numerous; information of a dozen or more, to the amount altogether of upwards of 501. in value, having reached the police since the 16th of January last. Most probably, they hare just re ceived a check in the apprehension of four men, who, there is little reason to doubt, have been for some time engaged in this mode of plunder. Some time since, Superintendent Taylor received information which lid him to believe that these robberies were conimitt( d by men named James Hackett, John Dowd, and James Ryan, and that a man named Thomas Cain, living in Little Ireland, was in the habit of carrying their stolen goods for them with a horse and cart. In consequence of this informa tion, a watch has been kept on the entrance into Little Ireland ; and on Friday night, Frederick Hollis, one of the constables of the D division, who was in plain clothes, saw Cain, between seven and eight o'clock, with his horse and cart, proceed along Oxford-road, through Princess-street, Saint Ann's-square, by the Collegiate Church, through Strangeways, and along the Bury New-road. The officer kept the cart in sight, and discovered that there were two men lying at the bot tom of it, who occasionally raised their heads, as if to reconnoitre. Baying proceeded to about 300 yards past the Grove Inn, on the Bury New-road, the cart stopped, and one of them (who proves to be Hackett) jumped out of the cart, but after looking round, said, •' Go on a bit further." They went on till they got opposite to the site of the Zoological Gardens, when they stopped again. At this spot the officer passed them. It was dark, and he could not observe their features very distinctly, but he saw four persons about the tart, and saw them lift into it what appeared to be a square chest, but where they got it he did not see. The cart was immediately turned round, and driven back towards Manchester. The officer followed, and as the cart stopped for two or three minutes at the Grove Inn, he saw what appeared to be a tea chest in it. When it arrived opposite the Collegiate Church, Hackett jumped out of the cart, and immediately afterwards. something having intercepted the officer's view for a moment, the latter saw Ryan and Dowd, in company with Hackett, in the street, who followed the cart to Little Ireland, and lifting the chest out, took it into the house of Dowd's mother, at No. 25, Anvil-street. The officer then went and reported what he had seen to Superin tendent Taylor, who immediately proceeded to the place with another officer, and finding the door fastened, forced it open. They found Hackett and a man named Gill (a lodger, it appears) sitting by the fire, and in a back room a great quantity of tea, emptied upon a bed cover and table cloth, and a door placed upon it. Hackett said he knew nothing about it. Gill immediately said he would not get himself into trouble for that; Hackett, Ryan, and Dowd had brought the tea there. On searching further, a grocer's axe, use&for opening casks, &c., was found on the premises. Gilf laid that Hackett had carried the chest out of the house. Gill, Hackett, and Dowd's mother were then takki l into custody. Cain was shortly afterwards appre hended; he said lie had net been on the Bury-road that night. Dowd was apprehended about one o'clock, in Rigby-street, Salford, and Ryan about an hour after, at the house of his father, in Hayes- street. They were taken before Mr. Trafford, at tht New Bailey, on Saturday, and remanded till Monday. In the meantime information had been received that two chests of tea, of the value of 61, had been stolen from a cart belonging to Mr. John Howarth, carrier between Manchester and Bury, on the night wheu the above occurred. It appears that the tea was sent from the house of Messrs. Labrey, New Brown•street, and delivered to Mr. Howarth, at the Wheat Sheaf, Fennel-street. A carter mamed Walker Gregory was dispatched about half-past six with the tea to Bury. He called at the machine in Strangeways, and the tea was then safe in the cart. By the time he had got to Prestwich, Mr. Howarth overtook him, and, looking into the cart, immediately missed the chests of tea. It appears that the carter is very diminutive in stature, and was. compelled to lead his horse all the way, circumstances which no doubt greatly favoured the operations of the parties by whom the tea was abstracted. The weight of the tea was found to correspond exactly with that of the quantity stolen from the cart, and the empty chests were disco vered by the police in the river Medlock, on Saturday morning, about one hundred yards from the house where the tea was found. On Monday mcrning, when the case came on again before Mr. Trafford, the man Gill was admitted as evidence against the others; and after the above facts had been stated, the four male prisoners were committed fur trial at the sessions, and the woman was discharged.—Manchester Guardian.

TILE HUNGERFOAD 31:111E ET COMPANY V. THE CHARING- CROSS BRIDGE COMPANY. This important case, the facts of which have from time to time appeared in The Sun, came before the Lord Chancellor this morning, on an appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor, who directed that the differences be tween the two companies should be submitted to a jury. Mr BETHEL ( who, with Mr. Gifford, appeared for the Market Company) proceeded to address his Lordship in support of the appeal. He said he had hoped that some arrangement would have been come to between the parties, which would have put an end to legal proceedings, but unfortunately the conduct of the Bridge Company had prevented any amicable understanding being come to be tween them, as the proposal which they had made, and from which they refused to depart, was of the most objectionable kind. What they proposed was, that each Ns senger disembarking at the float shoula be under the obliga tion to receive from the collector of the Bridge Company a ticket to entitle him to go over the bridge to the market; so that the bunireda who thus disembarked—and some times three hundred disembarked at the same time— would only be permitted to have egress by producing this ticket at the iron gates on the Middlesex side, so that, in fact, but one person could pass out at once. Now, this was a mode of egress which was open to the greatest objection, as, on long days, half an hour or three-quarters of an hour might not untrequently elapse from the time of a passenger leaving the steam-boat to the time of his obtaining egress at the gates. Fortunately the Market Company had the means of showing the utter futility of such a plan by the affidavit of Mr. Hawes, the Deputy Chairman of the Bridge Company. He stated that the railing off of six feet would be attended with most serious consequences to the great crowds continually embarking and disembarking at the float, . particularly on Sundays, when several thousards passed, to and fro, and as the number was increasing, greater inconvenience could not fail to be the result. In short, he stated that it would be quite impossible that such an immense number of passengers could pass on and off by a passage only six feet wide. It was clear, how ever, that the market company had no right to demand:more space, and therefore they must be content with it. The Loa) CHANCELLOR inquired the nature of the pro vision which gave the Market Company the right they claimed. Mr. Bynum said a covenant in the lease gave the Market Company "free and uninterrupted access " over the bridge to the float. The Bridge Company reserved to themselves the right of railing off a compartment of six feet for this purpose. Mr. Rots, who appeared for the Bridge Company, denied that the Market Company were to have an " nninterruptee right of way. Mr. BETHEL went on to urge, on the faith of this affidavit, that it would be quite impossible for the whole of the steam boat passengers to pass to and fro in this way, owing to the obstructions. Not only would the greatest confusion be created by the toll-gates, as the parties would have to pass out and in one at a time, but a continual series of squabbles would be the natural result of the confusion which they would engender, and in addition would destroy the value of the accommodation which the bridge itself professed to afford. Mr. Hawes stated, that frequently during the summer Sundays, 10,000 persons passed over the bridge in a few hours, and that a gate which was kept closed during the week, was obliged to be kept open on those days. They should, in fact, state that the bridge itself, wit bout the addition of the steam-boat passengers, was insufficient for their own passengers. He went on to state that the width of the bridge between the chains was only 13 feet, and that for some parts it was only 12 feet 2 inches; or that if 6 feet were taken, little more than 6 feet 2 inches would be left for the ordinary passage of the bridge ; and that a person might say he was going to the steam boats, and be allowed to pass, but there was nothing to pre vent him from going to the float, getting a ticket there, and so being enabled to cheat the bridge. The LORD CHANCELLOR wished to know how persons simply passing across the bridge to the other side were to be dealt with. Mr. RoLT said they would have to pay at the Lambeth side, and vice versa. Mr. BETHEL contended that even that plan would be most inconvenient, and would enable persons to use the bridge, and to incommode the steam-boat passengers, without paying the toll, and, consequently, without having any right on the bridge at all. The Learned Gentleman then read a list of various objections, which had been made to the offers of the Bridge Co.npany. It was simply set forth that the mode of access by turnstiles was not such an one as the Market Company was entitled to, that the bridge passengers would be pressed upon the steam-boat passengers, and that great inconve nience would be the result, and an evasion of the toll rendered extremely easy, so much so, that thou sands would adopt it, and that therefore thel interests of both companies would be injured; besides, a con tinual squabble would be going on as to whether the pedestrians had or had not landed from the steam boats ; the place would obtain an unenviable notoriety and offered an excellent field for pickpockets. The advan tage of this bridge consisted not only in its chearness, but in the saving of time ; but if these turnstiles were placed as proposed, loss of time to passengers would be the re sult, and the advantage of the bridge materially deteriorated, as to many the lora of five or six minutes was often of serious consequence. It had been proved that 2,000,000 had landed at the float in one yetir, four fifths of whom landed in the summer months alone ; but what delay would take place if they were compelled to pass off in “single tile." When the cause came first before his Lordship the Bridge Company contended that the obligation of distin guishing the steam .boat passengers from the public rested with the Market Company, who stated in reply that every ob struction had been offered to prevent the free ingress and egrese of the passengers. They contended further that they were not entitled to the full benefit of the covenant, in con sequence of not having devised any proper plan by which the passengers might be distinguished, wheress the Market Com pany contended that the covenant did not impose any such obligation upon them. The Vice-Chancellor having decided in the way mentioned, they now came before the Court in the same condition as on the former occasion, with the ex ception of the affidavit of Mr. Hawes, and that the company had consented to remove the hoard they had erected. No object would be gained by raising the question before a jury, as the facts were not in dispute between the parties, the right of the Market Company being admitted. It mast be looked at simply as a question of construction ; besides, the delay of an action would be a clear obstruction of justice, because the Market Company had the undoubted right or free access over the bridge to the pier without obstruction. There was no reason why the toll-gates and turnstiles should not be removed to the first pier, so that the passenger traffic would not interfere with the bridge traffic, and, what was most important, would not be impeded. He trusted his Lordship would decide against the decision of the Vice- Chancellor, and order the removal of everything preventing the free ingress and egress of the steam-boat passengers. Mr. GIFIARD followed briefly on the same side. Mr. Ruiz then proceeded to address his Lordship on behalf of . the Bridge Company. He contended, if his Lordship acceded to the injunction prayed for, that the toll-gates and turnstiles would, in contravention of the Act, have to be removed to the pier next the Mid dlesex side, and that part of the bridge thrown open to the whole world, or else the bridge would have to be shorn of half its dimensions, to the great injury of its legitimate pur pose, for a great portion of its length. But the Bridge Com pany had always been, and were most willing to listen to any suggestion from the Market Company, by which their own objects might be promoted without injury to the inte rests of the Bridge Company. To throw open the bridge to the first pier would be utterly destructive of its interests; hut, to all the propositions of the Bridge Company, they had received this reply: " You can't do that—we claim a free way of 6 feet,or some other free access to the float ; but we shall accept no other terms than these." The Acts of both com panies simply gave them power to enter into contracts with each other. This was evident from the fact that they were not to be permitted to take merchandise over the bridge to the float without the permission in writing of the Bridge Company. The Market Company had no power over the bridge; it could do nothing in connexion with it without the sanction of the proprietors. By the lease it was expressly stipulated that the Bridge Company were to be empowered to build their toll-houses on the Middlesex side, "south of the tavern," and they had done so in pursuance of that right. The Bridge Company were also to have an uninterrupted right of way through the market to the bridge; but to say that the Market Company were to have " uninterrupted and un restricted" way was incorrect, as the toll-houses so erected could not but be considered to some extent obstructions. The LORD CHANCELLOR said it clearly appeared by the lease that a space of six feet was to be appropriated to the Market Company, and to be railed off. Mr. ROLT repeated that the company were willing to make all consistent and suitable provision for the accommodation of the Market Company. For instance, they might have an abutment of three feet on each side of the bridge; but if the bridge were opened in the way proposed it would be almost impossible to distinguish the steam-boat passengers from the others. Certainly the Bridge Company had never impugned the right of way without paying toll; but they were not compelled to remove the hoarding at the stairs until the Market Company had discontinued the pier now used by them. They proposed to have three turnstiles, so that the fullest accommodation might be given the steam-boat passengers, and if they were dissatisfied with their servants they might appoint servants of their own. The turnstiles would not let a person come back without producing an authority to pass, so that they could not well use, in that case, the bridge without paying. The question, lie thought, was one which came within the province of a jury. However, he trusted his Lordship would not grant the injunction prayed for, but leave the company to adopt one of the many plans that had been proposed for the protection of their mutual interests. The LORD CHANCELLOR. said the words in the covenant were perfectly clear—the Market Company had an undoubted right of way, free of toll, to the pier. He had heard nothing to lead him to form an opposite conclusion. It was equally clear that the Bridge Company had refused to comply with the conditions of their lease. No doubt at the time it was made the question of distinguishing the passengers did not enter into their consideration, but that did not alter its mewling. He felt it his duty, therefore, to grant the injunction as prayed for,—namely, that the objectionable hoard should be removed, and that free ingress and egress should be given by the Bridge Company for the steam-boat pas sengers. The removal of the turnstiles was a question not before him, and therefore he could give no opinion upon it ; but it appeared to him that both parties were injuring themselves by these proceedings. No doubt, if the parties could frame a proper question for the decision of a jury, n o o bj ec ti on m i ght ar i se as to the adoption of such a course, but he could not recommend it. TAXATION.—Once upon a time—in the senate house at G o th am — a motion was made to impose upon every body a tax, and put the whole p ro duce of it into every body's pocket. Hear him ! hear him ! hear him ! was the cry. The motion passed by general acclamation. Quere.— Of the Gotham senate house. what was the distance from St. Stephen's ?—Benthanzianss.

FlFE.—Last evening, about nine o'clock , a fire which at first threatened serious consequences,owing to the densely populated nature of the neighbourhood, was disco vered raging in a carpenter's shop at the back of the premises of Mr. Dibdin, hair-dresser, A 2, New-court, L am b et h . Owing to the prompt arrival of the engines from the W es t o f England and brigadestations in the Waterloo-road, it was confined to the shop w here it broke out, w hi c h was com pletely destroyed, with its contents. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. CIIARGE OF foßGicn;::Charle3l7;;;n, a plumber, in very respectable business in the City, was brought before the Lord Mayor, in the c us t o dy o f Michael Haydon (City policeman No. 274), charged with having forged a bill of exchange for 228/. 15s. Mr. Bush, the solicitor to the Committee of Bankers for Protection against Forgeries and Frauds, appeared for the prosecutor, and Mr. Hobler for the defence. William Henry Williams, clerk at Glyn's banking-house, stated that a bill for 2281. 155., dated the 2d November, drawn by the prisoner, upon Messrs. Moses and Son, of Ald gate, and purporting to be accepted by him, and to be in dorsed by the prisoner to Mr. W. P. Gray, was received at the banking-house, from Mr. Gray, who was a customer there. Mr. Gray, lead merchant, Cammomile-street, stated that he was in the habit of supplying lead to plumbers, and that he had known the prisoner thirteen or fourteen years, and had frequently had business transactions with him. Witness received the bill produced from the prisoner to take up another bill, which the prisoner intimated that he could not honour, and which had been drawn by witness upon him. Witness thought the prisoner said he had some difficulty in settling with Messrs. Moses and Son, in consequence of their refusal to mix their trade account with their building ac count. On the day the bill became due witness received a letter from the prisoner, stating that it was a forgery, and that another bill which would become due in a month was also a forgery, hut that the estate c , .uln pay twenty shillings in the pound, and that witness should not sustain any loss. In his cross-examination' by Mr. Hobler, Mr. Gray said lie knew the prisoner to be engaged for Mr. Mose-, and he considered the bill to be in payment of part of the work done for the latter. Mr. Hobler—You have done a good deal of business with him ? Mr. Gray—Yes • or. he would not owe m e 6401. Mr. Isaac Moses stated that his father having retired from business, he carried it on at the premises at Aldgate and the Mint ries alone. He bad known the prisoner many years, and had paid him, for the last transaction they had had, with a cheque upon Robarts and Co., as was, his custom; and never on any occasion had given him a bill of exchange. He believed the body of the bill to be in the prisoner's hand writing, and had the same opinion as to the letter directed to Mr. Gray. Mr. Bush having stated that another forgery would on a future day be produced, The LOAD MAYort remanded the prisoner till Wednesday. next. Francis Ji'Reilly was charged 'with having embezzled considerable sums of money, the property of Mr. It. D. Rea, of Upper Thames-street, merchant. Mr. Child, of the firm of Wire and Child, attended for the prosecution; and Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, and Mr. J. Solomon, appeared for the prisoner. William Sanderson, cheesemonger, of Hackney-road, said, lam in the habit of dealing with Mr. Rea. I owed him on the 17th March, 1845, 251. 14s. 6d., and on that day 1 paid the prisoner that sum, and took his receipt, and on the Bth July I paid him a further stun of 40/., and took his receipt. Mr. Charles Lickfold, cheeseniongers, Islington, also a customer of Mr. Rea, said, on the 28th of August, 1845, I paid the prisoner 2001. on account of Mr. Rea, and the pri• soner signed the acknowledgment I produce. A clerk and book-keeper to Mr. Rea said the prisoner was collector in the house, and it was his duty to account for all sums of money he received every evening or the tollowing morning to the cashier, to be entered in the cash-book, but no such entries were made respecting the sums of 251 148.6 d. and 40/. ; but on the t - ,9th of August, 1845, credit was given by the prisoner, in his handwriting for 115/. It was proved that the prisoner had not at all accounted for the 251. 14s. 6d. or the 40/., or the difference between the 115/. and the 2001. received by Mr. Lickfold. William Rea, in his cross-examination by Mr. Clarkson, said the prisoner left my employment at the end of 1845. I believed he was a defaulter when he left me. I repeatedly pressed him for his private account, not for these deficiencies. In June last I received 121., but not directly from him ; other circumstances induced me to take these steps, and if it had not been for these circumstances, I should not have acted. The sum for which he has been a defaulter is 292/. 9s. 7d. Mr. Clarkson—Have not these defalcations been placed to his debt? Mr. Rea—They have been mixed together by my clerk, not by me. Mr. Mr. Clarkson—lf he had offered you the money since 1846, would you not have taken it? Mr. Rea—l would. In his re-examination, Mr. Rea said he had mo d e th e pri soner advances to supply his necessaries, and sued him for those advancer. Mr. Clarkson submitted that there was no ground for de taining the prisoner in custody. He admitted that the pri soner had received the several sums, but how had Mr. Rea, upon the knowledge that the prisoner had so received the money, acted? Why, he had allowed the accused to go at large, and treated the deficiency as a mere debt. It would be idle to send such a case to a jury. It would never be en dured that a person should say to his servant, "There, go, and pay me when you can, but if you don't pay me in 15 or 16 mouths, I'll prosecute you as a felon." The case was evi dently got up to operate as a screw, to compel the payment of what was, upon the showing of the complainant himself; debt upon the part of the prisoner. Mr. Child argued that the prisoner, who had been treated with the utmost liberality by his client, had committed the acts imputed to him, and that the credit givent. o hint by his indulgatit master had no reference to the defalcations of which he had been guilty. The Loan MAYOR said he could not help viewing the charges against the prisoner as arising from an experiment such as Mr. Clarkson had alluded to, and was of opinion that the case would not stand for a moment before a jury. It was quite obvious Mr. Rea knew that the prisoner had corn• mitted himself, and might long ago have made him respon sible. At the same time that the prisoner must be discharged it was proper to inform him, that if the charges had been bronght fifteen or sixteen months ago, the position in which he would stand would be essentially different from that in which he at that moment appeared. DIVINITY and PHYSIC in FRANCE. One of the most singular cases ever submitted to a court of justice was recently brought before the tribunal of Correctional Police of Draguigan (Var). M. Gar r, vicaire of the parish of Callas, was accused of having administered to three persons substances of a nature injurious to their health, an offence specially punished by the third paragraph of the 317th article of the Penal Code. A deceased Peer of France had, it ap peared, left a sum of 2,000 f. per annum to the parish z,f Callas, part of which was destined for the cute, and part to the maintenance of public worship. This revenue, added to the incomings of the parish priest, rendered his situation a very enviable one. M. Gamier, vicaire of the parish, became smitten with an irresistable de sire to exchange his own subordinate situation for that of cure. Ile accordingly determined if possible,so to disgust his ecclesiastical superior with the living, as to induce him to resign. To accomplish this object he hit upon a singular plan :—He had established in the village a sort Of pharmacy, and he transferred it to the kitchen of the worthy cure. The - pharmacy was particularly well stocked with ialap, senna, emetic-tartar, and other nauseous drugs ; and by some strange fatality it so hap pened that not a single dish, not a basin of soup, not a cup of coffee,'was served up to the cure's table without being dosed with . senna, jalap, or tartar. The consequence was that .the poor cures stomach became awfully out of order ; the jalap and tartar kept the good man in a state of perpetual motion ; when engaged in his sacred duties, be frequently had to hurry away with most unseemly haste ; his cheeks lost their rosy flush ; and from, as the Rev. Sidney Smith would say : " a fat and oily man of God," he became as lean as Shakspeare's apothecary. At last the worthy man resolved on trying to recover his health by a visit to his birth-place ; and no sooner was he out of reach of the jalap, senna, and emetic-tartar of his vicaire, than his stomach became perfectly tranquil, his digestive organs did their duty with their usual regu larity, the rosy flush of health returned to his cheeks, and his whole frame began to re-assume that state of of dignified fatness so becoming to churchmen. He then returned to his parisfi, but alas ! immediately after he had taken up his abode at the parsonage-house, the senna, tartar, and jalap recommenced their attacks on his poor stomach, keeping the holy man in an in cessant state of the most harrassing excite ment. He was at last so worn out by the phy • sicking to which he was subjected that he threw up his living in despair. To the vicaire's great disappoint ment he was not nominated to the vacant place ; the Bishop of the diocese sent a clergyman to take tem porary charge of the parish, but after a few weeks dosing with the jalap, senna, and emetic tartar, the new func tionary was worn to a skeleton, and compelled to de mand of the prelate another sphere of duty. The Bishop then sent another priest, but on bim, too, the indefatig able vicaire tried tartar, senna, and jalap, and they had the effect of soon wearing out his patience. "On arriv ing at the parish," said he in his evidence to the Court, " I went to the church and said mass. I was then in per fect health. I subsequently went to the parsonage-house and took a cup of coffee ; shortly after I paid a visit to the mayor, and whilst in conversation with him I was seized with an attack in the bowels, which compelled me to hurry all at once from his presence, leaving him greatly astonished at my extraordinary sudden de parture." These strange circumstances having come to the knowledge of the Bishop, lie caused an inquiry to be instituted, which led to the discovery that the vicaire had constantly mixed jalap, senna, tartar, and other horrible concoctions, with the food f the cure and bis two temporary successors, and that he had done so in the hope of getting appointed to the livin It was proved, too,that when the offender learne d that the Bishop bad become acquainted with his misconduct, he endeavoured to induce a young girl, belonging to his parish, to state in confession to another priest that it was she who had deluged the food of the reverend men with the emetic, the senna, and the jalap. On her re fusal to do this the curate deemed it prudent to decamp; and since then he has not been heard of. But the legal prosecution proceeded against him in his absence, and, on his guilt being proved, the Court condemned him by default to four years imprisonment and to a S ae o f 25 ' francs.--Galignani. OPINION OF MR. J. TIDD PRATT RELATING TO BUILDING SOCIETIES. At a meeting held on Monday evening of the St. Luke's Equitable Building Society, at the Prince of Wales, Banner-street, St. Luke's, Mr. Wise in the chair, after the general business of the meeting had been gone through, the chairman brought forward a question which has for some time past interested the numerous societies now established under the Building Societies Acts, a doubt having arisen as to whether the society could legally, under those Acts, advance or grant moneys upon the security of property then existing and in the possession of the borrower, it being considered that the Act of Parliament contemplated, with a view to the furtherance of a more complete sanatary condi tiox of the metropolis, the erection or purchase of build ings only. Owing to this doubt the chairman then read a case which had been drawn up by the solicitor to the above society embodying those doubts, and submitted it to Mr. Tidd Pratt for his opinion. The following is a copy of the queries put and Mr. Tidd Pratt's opinion:— " Question I—That under the provisions of the 6th and 7th William IV., the contemplation of building only was considered, the creation or purchase of pro perty being the same. Is it not necessary that a party who becomes entitled to the 2001. appropriation should build or purchase ? Or can he assign property, in his then immediate possession, as security uon _ the term- contained in the rules for its repaymentPAnd or any other moneys provided for such purpose if so, whether any new rules would be necessary to THE MALT•TAX. Mr. CHUTE presented a petition from the county of Norfolk, praying for the repeal of the malt-tax. TENANT RIGHT. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD presented several petitions from Belfast, Antrim, Armagh, and certain places in England, prayinc , that all proceedings would be stayed upon the Landed Property (Ireland) Bill, until the tenant right should be finally secured. MERCHANT SEAMEN'S FUND. Mr. HUME: wished to ask: a question of the Right Hon. the Vice-President of the Board of Trade. He wished to know if the Government had as yet deter mined to appoint a commission to take into considera tion the subject of the Merchant Seamen's Fund ; and, if so, when the House might expect to receive the report? Mr. M. GIBSON said that the whole subject of the Merchant Seamen's Fund was under attentive considera tion. and a commission would be'appoiuted immediately. Mr. WAWN moved for a return of the revenue re ceived by the Commissioners appointed under the Act 11 Geo. 4, c. 49, intituled, " An Act for the Improve ment and Preservation of the River Wear and Port and Haven of Sunderland, in the county palatine of Durham," in each year since the year 1842 : list of the Commissioners now acting and qualified under that Act, stating their names and places of residence ; also, the number of meetings of the board, and the names of the Commissioners who have attended each of the meetings of the board, in each year since 1842. Account of the debt owing by the Commissioners, the dates of contracting the same, and the rate of interest paid (in continuation of Parliamentary return, No. 514, sess. 1843). Also, an explanation of the account for the year 1832, where " the arrears of river duty, due December 31, 1831, were Disputed in Lord Londonderry's stone account 75 11 1 Are made to amount to the sum of Also a particular and detailed account, in each year since 1842, of what has been paid in salaries; also in law expenses, in promoting and opposing Bills brought in or threatened to be brought before Parliament, and under what clause in the Act 11 Geo. IV., c. 49, or other authority, the same was paid.—Agreed to. Mr. GROGAN moved for a return, showing the num. ber of loads of hay and straw forfeited in Smithfield Market, Dublin, for the five years ending the 31st day of December, 1836, 1841, and 1846, and how the same or the proceeds thereof were disposed of. THE WELLINGTON STATUE. Mr. CRAVEN BERKELEY gave notice that, on Monday next, he should ask the Noble Lord, the First Commissioner of her Majesty's Woods and Forests, what the final intentions of her Majesty's Government were with respect to the removal of the Wellington statue. RETAIL. BREWERS. Mr. MUNTZ moved that the petition be had yester day presented frem the retail brewers of Birmingham be printed with the votes.—Agreed to. POOR-LA .WS . 2 (IRELAND). Mr. FITZGERALD presented a petition from the guardians and rate-payers of Thurles, praying that the poor-rates should be levied on union instead of electoral districts. RETAIL BREWERS. Mr. MUNTZ gave notice that, on the 23d of this month, he should bring in a Bill to enable retail brewers in the midland districts to keep open their houses till twelve o'clock at night, as they were permitted to do so in the metropolis. PUNISHMENT BY DEATH. Mr, EWART presented petitions from several places in Scotland, praying for the abolition of all capital punishment. RELIEF COMMITTEES IN IRELAND. Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN, seeing the Right Hon. the Secretary for Ireland in his place, wished to know whe ther the circular which had been issued by Mr. Reding ton was to be the sole guide fur relief committees relative to the time when public works should be discontinued. He saw by the papers of that morning, that there were 60,000 men at present engaged, and if that circular were to furnish the only rule, he thought the number would require to be increased instead of diminished. Mr. LABOUCHERE said that the Treasury had issued directions to the Board of Works of a very precise nature regarding the manner which they were to dirni • nish the number of men engaged on the public works. He had no objection to lay those directions on the table, when the Hon. Gentleman would be put in possession of the views of her Majesty'slGover nmentupon the subject. RUSSO-DUTCH LOAN. _ _ E presented various petitions praying the House to discontince the payment of the Russo-Dutch Loan. DESTITUTION IN IRELAND. Mr. P. SCROPI wished to know from the Secretary for Ireland whether the Government bad taken mea sures to prevent the families of those persons who were confined in prison for offences from starving. He re ferred to ono case in particular—that of a woman, who, having been confined in prison lor stealing some articles of bread, found, on her release, that her husband was 41 e a (I. He wished to know if, in such cases as theie, Government had provided any resource ? Mr. LABOUCHERE complained that the Hon. Member had given no notice of his question. He thought, however, that such a ease as that named by the lion. Gentleman should be the first to command the attention of the relief committees. NEW IV IT. Lord MARCUS HELL mov. d that a new writ be issued for the election of a Member for the bw - ough of Lewes, in the room of Sir Howard Elphiustone, who had accepted the office of a steward of the Chiltern Hun dreds. CASE OF SIR THOMAS BRISBANE AND OTHERS. Dr. BOWRING called the attention of the II use to the petition of Sir Thomas Brisbane and others, with a view to the redress of the grievance of which it com plained. The petitioners were the executors of a gen tleman who died a short while ago in India leaving per eonsl property to the amount of 150,0001., and the executors retained a considerub!e amount in their hands in anticipation of being cAled upon to pay the legacy duty upon the residue. In the year 1839, the probate of th e will w as g ranted. Subsequently the legacy duty aas demi.nded of the executors, and paid, though they pr, , teE•ted against the claim as altogether illegal. The lion. and Learned Member having stated the particulars of the matter, cited two ewes in 1637 and 1838. in which, under ana logous circumstances, the legacy duty was not exacted. The opinion of the late Sir William Follett was, that the'legacy duty could not be claimed under the circumstances. Thi-, he submitted, settled the question. Ultimately the authorities in Scotland, probably acting under the it,fluenec of menaces from the Government, paid 9,284: Gs. 4d. on the 19th of January, 1842, the Scotch judges having decided that the legacy duty was payab!e. An appeal against their decision was carried to the House of Lords in the same year; considerable delay took place, which was not, however, attributable to the petitioner; but in February, 1843, it appeared so clear to the House of Lord , , and to the judges there as sembled, that they came to the opinion that the legacy duty was not payable in this case, and declared that the payment of the duty entirely depended upon the testator at the time of his death. The Government had thus appropriated about 9,2001. which did not belong to it. Ile hoped that after the statement which had been made the House would allow his motion for a Select Com mittee to inquire into the subject. Mr. PARKER said that he did not at all dis pute the general facts stated by his Honourable Friend, nor would he attempt to controvert any fact stated by him, with one exception. The reasons on which the Government had acted were sound ones, and he would state them to the ',louse. An Act was passed in the year 17%, and a principle had been esta blished under that Act, which had continued down to the present ti.m9. The practice was that wherever let- ' ters of administration were taken out, legacy duty was payable upon the bequest s . Th a t p r i nc ipl e h a d no t altered in any way from the year 1796 down to that time. The construction of the law since 1845 was somewhat different from that which had ruled since 1796, for it had been laid down by the judges that domicile was the test of exemption from legacy duty, and that administration on property in India was liable to legacy duty. lie did not think that the Hon. and Learned Member had made out any case to call for the intervention of that House. It was in the power of the House of Lords to pronounce a reversal.— (Hear, hear.) It was in their power, and there might be circumstances to warrant a decision not accordant with general rules ; but until that supreme court did pronounce such an opinion, he thought that there was no case made out by the lion. and Learned Member. Mr. WARBURTON said it did not appear to him that the Crown were prepared to refund the money, and by this rule, if the Crown did wrongfully possess itself of the money of a subject, they would never return it. Wash a reason that, because the money had been taken by a misconstruction of the law, the Crown should not return that money ? A distinction had been attempted to be drawn in this case between the law as laid down by the House of Lords in the cases of the Attorney-General v. Jackson and Arnold v. Arnold, because the property in this case was partly in India and partly in England. Was he to take the law as laid down by the Lord Chancellor, or was he to take the law as declared by the Secretary to the Treasury ? That seemed to him to be the simple question'to be decided. Sir It. H. lINIGLIS contended that at the time the money was paid the law justified the Crown's receiving it, and therefore the parties had no right to have it refunded. He concurred with the lion. Member for Sheffield, and would resist the motion. for Mr leg U a n cy was made on the property of a party t B d l u E ty said that in 1838, when a similar claim t died in Jamaica, the payment was resisted, and the Go vernment (lid not enforce the claim. The ATTORNEY-GENEIIA L said the llon. Member who had spoken in favour of the resolution misappre ' hended the question. In 1845 an alteration had been made in the law regarding the legacy duty, and since then it had notbeen enforced against the estates of those who died abroad. With regard to the opinion of the late Sir William Follett, that was an opinion founded on a private case submitted to him, and was not to be taken as any authority on the point. In 1795 two of the most eminent lawyers that had ever held office in this country under the Crown, Lord Eldon and Lord Bedesdale, gave their decision that legacy duty was . (LEFT SPEARING.) _-- DUTcn VEGETABLES—We observe, on referenc e to the list of arrivals of cattle and provisions from the con tinent of Europe on Monday last, that a steam-ship from Harlingen brought 385 bags and baskets of potatoes, being an unusually large quantity from Holland, and that another vessel from Rotterdam brought twenty-five packages of cucumbers. CAPTURE OF A GHOST.—For some weeks com plaints have been made to the police that several persons had been sadly frightened at the awful appearance of some supernatural monster in the neighbourhood of Bloxwich, having a huge pair of horns, and enveloped in white. In structions were given to the police to use all diligence to effect his capture, but somehow or other his ghostship became aware of the attention paid to him by the "men in blue," and "started like a guilty thing upon a fearful sum mons." Nothing more was heard of him until the night of Monday, the 22d ultimo, when lie was seen traversing, with "martial stalk," the neighbourhood of Bloxwich-green, ex hibiting, as on former occasions, a huge pair of horns. After frightening one or two persons, who fled at the top of their speed, he came in contact with g ," field carpenter," a young man, named Wm. Adams. Adams, it appears, was return ing from his work, having his tools on his back, and not liking the ways of his ghostly acquaintance (who, by the way, tecame more pressing than pleasant), sought to free ' himself by means of a bradawl which he had in his hand, and with which he dealt a severe blow at the left thigh of the ghost, who immediately fell upon his knees, roaring piteously. Adams then proceeded to dismantle him of his masquerade dress, when the unfortunate hero of the night's adventure turned out to be a young man named John Perry, a stirrup-tiler, of Bloxwich, well known to Adams. Several persons were promptly on the spot, and conveyed the ghost to his home, where he was ( put to bed, and a surgeon sent for to dress his wound, which, fortu nately for him, though a severe one, was not considered dangerous, but he has been confined to his bed in conse quence nearly ever since. As soon as he was sufficiently re• covered Perry procured a warrant against Adams fur stabbing him, and had him apprehended. The accused was brought before the magistrates at the Guildhall on Wednesday last, but the ecomplainant did not appe a r, a nd Adams w a s dis charged,—Wolverhampton Chronicle. tlee 6 seu C ts, ° et od 'e f I at i f r C ae t e e u Cr kickciih situatedl N TELL congregationl G n E a N E i remarks;t h T e b l le e (r eel) presented no ef s( ke e e, l e ) , dry, commodious gravel-pit, capable of holding two hundred persotis.

It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was in the employ of Messrs. Seward and Co., engineers, Minivan, Pop lar. On Tuesday last he was engaged with several other labourers in raising a brass screw propeller, weighing up wards of six tons, from one part of the factory to another. They had succeeded in raising it four feet from the ground by means of the crane, when the chain suddenly broke, and the ponderous mass fell with great violence, striking the de ceased on the back. He instantly fell, and when raised, life was found to be quite extinct. Death must have beeu in verdict—" Accidental death." _~.--;~. SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL. The anniversary dinner of this excellent institution took place last evening at the London Tavern. The Earl of Auckland was in the chair, supported by Sir C. Adam and Lord Radstock; Sir T. Hastings, Sir J. H. Pelly, Admiral Bowles, Captain Pelly, with other friends of the hospital, were also present. In proposing the prosperity of " The Seamen's Hos pital,, the CHAIRMAN congratulated the establishment on its increasing prosperity. It was supported by in dividuals of every class, from the master of the largest empire in the world to the lowest seaman. Lord AUCKLAND likewise adverted in terms of high praise to the management of the institution, which was, he said, not less excellent than its principles. Not less than 4,000 seamen were relieved last year. Amongst the supporters of the hospital appears the name of the Imperial High Commissioner of the Emperor of China, Keying, who subscribes 900 dollars. At various times the Trinity House have given about 14,0001., and the East India Company 2,7151. to the hospital. It is gratifying to find the masters of the American and other foreign nations contributing to the support of the hos• pital, which in truth has a sufficient claim upon their liberality, extending its assistance to the sick seamen of every nation, amongst whom are a considerable number of Turks, Chinese, Malays, and Africans. The subscriptions announced in the course of the evening amounted to above 11,0001.: amongst which were her Majesty (annual) , 1051 ; the Queen Dowager (annual), 101 ; Trinity Corporation, 300 L; Merch an t Elder Brethren, 100/.; East India Company, 105/.; Earl of Auckland, 31/. 10s.; Lord Viscount Melville, 211.; Admiral Bowles, 21/.; Alexander Grant, Eeq., 21/., &e. Besides the donation from their public funds, the mem bers of the Trinity House contribute annually above 100/. privately to the charity. CAUTION.—We have frequently had occasion to warn the public of a form of imposition which appears to ba still extensively practised on the benevolent portion of the community, by parties transmitting letters from Ireland, detailing cases of touching distress, and imploring the means of returning to their native country. A gentle man in Keith recently received one of those documents ' apparently written by a p erson belon g in g to the humbler classes, and purporting to come from a Mrs. Ann Mile, who, with three children, had been wrecked off Cape Clear, while on her passage to join her husband in Ame rica, who was represented as a colour -sergeant in the 77th Regiment. The letter was accompanied by a printed certificate, pretending to be signed by two justices of the peace, and otherwise bearing marks of authenticity; but on the gentleman applying to the Dublin Poli ce of fi ce, he was favoured with a series of other documents, detailing similar cases of fictitious distress. the pit - Oculars of each being slightly varied. It is almost unnecessary to add, that these are all fabricated statements, and the chief difficulty in the way of the conviction of these parties lies in the want , f legal proof. However, it is hoped that an exposure of their nefa rious schemes will have the effect of preventing their realiza ,ion. —Aberdeen Deruld. DEATH FROM AN EXPLOSION OF PORTABLE GAS. —The following mela nchol y accident, by which a highly scientific and much esteemed French gentleman, Baron d'Ancet, lost his life, is related in the newspapers of Rio de Janeiro recently received. The Baron, it appears, was about to establish at Rio a laboratory on a grand scale, but on the 18th of December last, after entertaining a few friends, b e went to bed, and placing a portable gas-lamp on a table, he drew it to his bedside and took a book to read. About mid night, the lamp, not giving sufficient light, he ordered his servant boy to bring him some more gas. At this moment, the boy began to execute the order, and a current of air from a door left open carried the gas in contact with the banning lamp; an explosion of the gas in the tin took place, the greater part of which fell on the unfortunate baron, setting the bed sheets on fire. with the curtains and pillow-cases. Baron d'Ancet was scalded from head to foot, and plunged directly into a cold-bath, where he remained for a quarter of an hour, and then dressed his - wound himself, with cotton, and would not consent to have any medical assistance called in until the next morning, confident nothing could be done to save him. Under this impression, and in excruciating pain, surrounded by his physician and friends, who tried every means to alleviate his sufferings, he expired in a few hours after. His attention was directed more to his servant than to himself; the boy was seriously burnt, but hopes were en tertained of his recovery, without the use of one arm. ALARMING ACCIDENT ON THE BRIGHTON AND CIIICIIESTER RAILWAY.—On Tuesday evening, as the hi.lf past six o'clock train from Brighton to Chichester was pro ceeding, at the rate of thirty miles an hour, between the Augmering and Little Compton stations, the bind axletree of the tender gave way, and threw the back part of the tender upon the ground. The consequence was, the rails for a considerable distance were literally ploughed away, and the carriages behind sank deep into the earth, but -fortu nately not one of them was upset, and the passengers, by keeping their seats, escaped unhurt. The guard was thrown off with considerable violence, but received no material injury. The accident caused a delay of about a couple of hours, there being only one line of rails at this spot ; but the rails have since been restored, and the passage is again open. SACRlLEGE.—Yesterday information was received by the police that on the morning Of the Bth instant the church of Birtle-cum-Bamford was sacrilegiouly broken into, and the following property stolen - therefrom. An Irish linen surplice, fastened at the neck with one plain button, and marked on the face with the letters I. 11. S.; a cassock made of Orleans cloth, lined on the body and sleeves with very thick cotton ; two scarfs, one of which was thick silk aboat four inches broad and three yards long, fringed at the end, and the other made of Orleans cloth, being fourteen inches wide, doubled, and three yards long; also, a white twilled cotton sheet, three small prayer books, one of which contained the name " Beery," six psalm books con taining the old and new version, two having the words " Nate Church" written therein. The parish church of Dunington, in the county of Lincoln, was also broken and entered, and a white communion cloth, three bottles of wine, with a communion plate stolen therefrom. AN EXTENSIVE SLIP.—An extensive slip has oc curred at Shakepeare's Cliff, which seems to be gradually breaking up its establishment and leaving England in dis gust. This may be in consequence of the little hold Shak speare has lately had upon his native country ; and the cliff; probably, is only crossing the Channel to seek a home in more congenial lands. Whither will it go to? Will it settle on the French coast, or sail direct for New York? It would be curious to find Shakapeare's Cliff at Calais with a board stuck up, "Its moved from over the way." We are con fident that - Spakspeare himself would be thought all the more of if he 'had a firm footing in France, and that his drama and' his cliff would rise much higher in the public estirration when pieces of it could be taken from the French. —Punch.

And whether, presuming that the trustees are incorrect in making such advance, the party taking the same. being a member, could take any advantage of it, so 0 to defeat the security or liability to pay? Or whether such a transaction would be affected by the Usury Laws or any other laws or circumstance whatsoever?" "Opinion—lt appears to me that, in strictness, under the provisions of the Benefit Builders' Societies Acts, the money borrowed from the society should be to erect or purchase property ; and, consequently, that a mew,' ber cannot assign, as security, property which he so• ready possesses. If money is advanced not according to the rules and provisions of the Act, I am of opini on that the member, or any person claiming under. h im, might set the transaction aside, and in equity, woul d.ls entitled to a return of his deeds on payment of pri nci• pal and legal interest.

MEMORANDUM OF PROCEEDINGS WITH Rh SPECT n TO JEWELS CLAIMED BY THE CROWN Of HANOVER fwiliiiii., - BRinsii - EZOWN- The claims of the Crown of Hanover are of twofold origiet and embrace jewels of two classes:- 1. Jewels originally belonging to the electors of Hanover' and bequeathed to his successors in the electorate by K tn g George 11. These jewels were brought over from Me° to England by order of King George 111. on his acc essions, _ 2. Jewels which King George bought of his uncle, the Duke of Cumberland, for 54,0001., and gave as a sveddlf present to Queen Charlotte, wh o beq es tl ic d them it '— events which have happened) to the House of HsnoTer, to be settled in the direct line of succession of that House established by the laws and constitution of the House 171 Hanover. The jewels of both clams were claimed by the Crown s ° , f . Hanover immediately after the d e m ise o f King William l i v ie (which caused the separation of th e H anov erian from_..„,„! • British Crown); and they were delivered into the possesew - ,„ of her Majesty's Lord Chamberlain, with notice that ulei were so claimed in the month of July, 1837. The claim to Queen Charlotte's legacy jewels (Class s -11 ,1 ) was afterwards preferred in an official shape. in a letter e ( dressed by Mr. Pemberton to Sir H e n r y Wheatley, o n s c ; . the King's executors, under date the Bth o f November , And the particulars of both claims were stated Aid a ' to the Secretary of the Lord Chancellor, in a letter date 4th December, 1837. The claim to Queen Charlotte's legacy jewels (Class II e was referred to the Law Officers of the British Croon; t u claim to the Ancient Hanoverian Jewels (Cl a ss I,) bei n g reserved for diplomatic correspondence between the Ila n ss , °- verian Minister in this country and her Majesty's Secreta r y of State for Foreign Affairs. Various objections were raised by her Majesty's law 0f",,/ to the claim to the legacy jewels, which w e re answered the counsel of the Crown of Hanover ; and ultimately, s_ ,w s . s it e ' , two years' correspondence, it was agreed that, for the pOrP"'" of obtaining a judicial decision upon the claim, the legal' jewels should be deemed to be still in the possession of the executors of King William IV., and that the King of Hen °; ver should file a bill in Chancery against the executors II against her Majesty's Attorney 6eneral, as serting his ri g ht to the jewels, and praying the delivery of th em , and thef t, ' s executors and the Attorney. General should forthwith put In their answers to the bill, so that the question might brought to a speedy decision. 82, , 8 • Accordingly, the bill was filed on the 20th August, The defendants did not put in their answers till Nover n " i :"; P w. - 1840 ; and the cause being at length brought to issu e ' se nesses were examined on both sides, but the depoeiti° ll " , mained under seal. t° This was the state of the proceedings on the claim of Queen Charlotte's legacy jewels (Class 11.) in the Melo" November, 1843. In the meanwhile a correspondence has been carde d . , f ° h e between the Hanoverian Minister in this country nel s ,"_,', o . Secretary for Foreign Affairs in regard ,to the ancient 2 11 ' verian jewels (Class I.) . ent The first official movement upon the claim to the ure i c , was a note addressed by Baron Munchausen W' 0 count Palmerston, under date 18th April, 1839 • WhIe ll ;0 followed by a subsequent ,note, dated 10th AugOstsl its o. stating, in compliance with Lord Palmerston's requ'. l , the grounds upon which the jewels were claimed ul:,'_ h a Crown of Hanc ver, and the documents by which the ow -- was supported. re - To this note of the 10th August, 1840, no answer W ag vi a turned till the 29th of December, 1842, when it was answ e rs by Lord Aberdeen. The correspondence was contin u o during the year 1843, an interval of two or three ul fi ° llt " no _ being suffered to elapse between every note of the Hi s , verian Minister and the reply to . it on the part o f her jesty's Government. the The result of the correspondence was an agreement o ll n ts, part of both the Han o veria n an d th e Bridal GovelsL it- iod that Commissioners should be appointed to, inquire is . le els determine the question of ri g ht wi th res p ec t to the .", er claimed from the British Crown by th e Crown of AL" I: including as well the jewels claimed under the w ill _ ‘'s - ; Charlotte, as those claimed as being originally ne=o,; or as passing to Hanover under the will of King werjr._ t he and that the commissioners should be Lord Lypdhu7 sf the then Lord Chancellor, Lord Langdale, the Mester "- Rolls, and the late Lord Chief Justice Tindal. ~e th of The commission was iscccrdingly issued, dated December, 1843, appointing the above-named Conran .e `T r isg era to hear and determine the premises, and etelw, ; ";„, in them, or any two of them, to proc ee d f rom time W d the execution of the commission, and to report their Proc— pigs and what they should find and determine therein. A statement of the claim of the Crown of Hanover to ! so ancient Hanoverian jewels (Class I.) was delivered to,wof Commissioners and to His Treasury solicitor on the 18thuids January, 1844, accompanied with the documents on w it rested, and the correspondence which le.d passed in „T ar . tion to it. And a statement of the claim to Queen of lotto's legacy jewels (Class II.) was delivered on the 24`l .s in February, 1844, the advisers of th e C rown o f Hanoverh av of waited in vain dui log the interval for a statement in a nsW to their first head of claim. The statement on of the British Crown, f wer to the two claims of the Hanoverian Crown, wa sss de , livered till the 12th of June, 1844. The reply to it was delivered on the 9th of July. The first meeting of the commissioners to hear the re was held on the 13th January, 1845; and the meeting! , w h e : a continued at long intervals till the 28th June, 181 5 , 11 "' the arguments on both sides were concluded No judgment has yet been given ; and by the death of t h 6 B late Chief Justice Tindall, which happened in "IS, 1 84 P the commission has been annulled. In the same month in which the late Chief Justice the Hanoverian Minister made the following proposal tilh Majesty's Government:—" Although in point of law, . I v , o __rt Lyndhurst and the Master of the Rolls, as the two survi 1 1 2 di_e e d_, commissioners, may not, under the strict terms of the co; mission, be enabled to report, it is proposed that, by_2ots, consent of the respective Governments, the surviving cuod miasioners shall determine and report in like mann e r, the that their report shall be as binding in all respects esiisees late Lord Chief Justice were still alive; and that a ll i s sion• sary authorities shall be given to the surviving c011w" ere for that purpose." 18th" To this proposal no answer was returned, But on the ;tie d of December, 1846, Viscount Palmerston Volt - had to Count Kielmansegge a statement which his Lordsn'r b i s h obtained from Lord Lyndhurst and Lord Langdale, snd Ka he treated as decisive against the claim of the Crown ° ose d never to Queen Charlotte's legacy jewels ; and be Pr ° P that the King of Hanover should withdraw his claim w iott „, jewels as having passed under the will of Queen Cha r we ls still leaving open his other claim to any portion of tbej e in dispute. In answer to Lord Palmerston's proposal, Count Xie llu s t7; • segge, by letters dated January 7, 1847, referred his I .° ply, to the offer which Count Kielmansegge had made in . 10 1846, and expressed the readiness of his Government sti" ths • abide by it, and to acquiesce in any determination whic h , to two surviving commissioners might deliberately cot be upon the whole case referred to them ; but he declined t sr bound by an informal expression of opinion, which but Per tially touched even that part of the case which Lord PeT u r ston considered it to decide, and left the rest of the cas e gether undecided and uncertain. Thus the matter rests at present, and Count Kielmen segg. has in vain urged Lord Palmerstone to reply.
