Measures were adopted to enter into a correspondence with them, in consequence of which answers were received, some declining the invitation, and others acceding to an interview. Deputations were subsequently appointed to meet the gentlemen, the result of which has been that the following were selected (no delay having oc curred to ascertain the political wishes of all those with whom an interview was obtained) :—Mr. Page Wood, Mr. G. Thompson, Mr. S. V. Shelley, and Mr. C. Lushington. The committee trust that such a candidate will be placed in the field as the electors would support. It was after much careful research that the committee arrived at the conviction that the suffrages of the electors will be most favourably exercised in support of Mr. C. Lushington. A long discussion ensued, and an objection was raised to the report that the committee had exceeded their instruc tions, by giving an opinion in favour of Mr. C. Lushington. Mr. PROUT defended the report on the part of the commit tee, observing that there was no desire to dictate to the society. The report was then received, and ordered to be entered on the minutes. Mr. LEWIS, jun., then rose to propose Mr. G. Thompson to contest the election in conjunction with Sir De Lacy Evans, whom, without in the least attempting to say anything in deterioration of Mr. C. Lushington, it was his desire to put forward at the ensuing election ; at the same time there was no gentleman, more than Mr. C. Lushington, who he would wish to see second to him : his virtues were many—he had proved himself an honest man in the House of Commons, and he was of great family influence.—(Hear.) He was also not a party man, and would carry out their opinions—he meant upon free-trade.—(Hear.) lie had shown himself to be independent of family interests upon the sugar question, though he had a deep interest in that trade.—(Hear.) All these things, however, Mr. G. Thompson would do, in addi tion to which he had a profound knowledge of affairs con nected with our possessions in the East Indies, which was a subject of the utmost importance at the present crisis.- -(Hear.) He had most powerful talents, which would exer cise a very beneficial influence in the House of Commons. He put his resolution. Mr. GEESIN seconded it, remarking that Mr. G. Thompson was not a man to get every day in the week.—( Laughter.) Ile thought that if they made a selection of him, they would not have much to find fault with. Had he been capable of being bought he would long ago have been 'placed on the shelf by the East India Company.—(Hear.) In the parishes of St. Margaret and St. John's, though Mr. Cochrane had appeared before him, there was a strong demonstration in his favour. The committee ought to have made this report long since.—(Hear.) Mr. Pnour, who proposed that Mr. C. Lushington should be selected, said, that the gentlemen who supported Mr. G. Thempson thought of the man in his individuality who they considered should be their representative, and not of the man who could be secured at the poll.—(Hear.) The majority he acted with in the committee were desirous to take the person they could carry at the election, and wished not to be under the necessity of deciding the votes of the electors.— ( Hear.) He valued the talents of Mr. G. Thompson, and would be happy to see him in the House of Commons, where ho thought he ought to be. But the question with him was, which was the one who would be likely to succeed ?—(HHear.) His opinion of Mr. G. Thompson was, that he would not be able to command the majority at the poll. That was the con viction of the majority of the committee, and in that convic • tion it was that they agreed to offer the name of Mr. C. Lushington. lie had been a tried man in the House of Commons.—(Hear, hear.) He had voted for all the princi ples which were adopted by the society, and for many more. --(Hear, hear.) He was in a position to command the wealth and influence of Westminster.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Trout) would be ashamed to walk the streets of London - if a Tory were returned ; and if Mr. G. Thompson., and Mr. C,chrane went to the poll, he was fearful that would be the result.. For these reasons, he moved as an amendment " That - C. Lushington. Esq., be adopted by the society as the candidate to contest the city of Westminster at the next elec tion, to succeed John Temple Leader, Esq., M.P." Mr. TYRILVILL seconded the amendment, observing that with respect to the two gentlemen he thought there ought to be no hesitation, and that they ought to give their support to Mr. C. Lushingtsn.—( Hear, hear.) It had been said that Mr. G. Thompson was well acquainted with the state of our Indian affairs. There were subjects which intimately con cerned them at home, and which he considered of more para mount importance, as the condition of Ireland. If that were lost, what would be the use of India.—(liear, hear.) Mr. It. CRIBB asked whether either of the candidates in tended to vote for the endowment of any church ? Mr. Pum' declared that Mr. C. Lushington would not, and, Mr. LEWIS made a similar acknowledgment on the part of Mr. G. Thompson. Mr. G. PouNcEr said that if the society decided by one only that Mr. G. Thompson should be put in nomination, he would give him his support ; but the question was, can they return him, and, whether, if he was to stand, two Tories would not be at the head of the poll.—( Hear, hear.) He could not imagine such a contingency. It was the duty of a candidate not to divide the interest, and he would say to the credit of Mr. C. Lushington, that if he supposed he was likely to create a division he would not stand.—(Hear. hear.) They Were bound to consider the opinions of the great body of electors not connected with the society.— (Hear, hear.) It was necessary that they should have a gentleman as their representative who would go to the House of Commons with a triumphant majority.—llear, hear.) It was his opinion that they could not return Mr. G. Thompson, and he was assured that Mr. C. Lushing ton would make an able, eloquent anti honest representa tive.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. J. PARKES, solicitor, observed, that they ought to be careful what steps they took that evening. Ile came there perfectly independent, with the intention to give his support to that gentleman who he thought would have any chance of being returned.—( Hear.) The present constituency was not that of former times, as the rate-paying classes had assisted to destroy the body of scot-and-lot voters, who were the cream of the electors in former times, and who enabled Westminster to stand at the head of the independent boroughs.—(Hear, hear.) They were to consider whether they could return two Liberal candidates, and, if so, which of the two gentlemen before th em was th e likeliest to suc ceed. Mr. C. Lushington was long connected with the religious liberty question, and it was a subject in which the whole of the dissenters took a deep interest. He was also a member of the Church of England.—(Hear,' hear.) The dissenters had the greatest confidence in him, while he was a man who did not seek a place from Government, who would not ask for place, and who would not take one if it was offered to him.—(Llear hear.) He had a high opinion of the talents of Mr. G. Thompson, and he would be misled in his opinion of him if he thought he would not decline to stand when he was not likely to suc ceed.—(Hear. ) Messrs. Lewis, sea., Bidgood, jun., Coppock, Labrum, &c., addressed the meeting, when Mr. Le w i s rep li e d , i nt i mating that he trusted they would all abide by th e d ec i s i on of the society. The amendment was then put and carried, after which Mr. LE BitErroN proposed, and Mr. DISE seconded a vote of thanks to the committee:(a similar vote being awarded to he chairman). The meeting terminated at a late hour. WINDSOR, THURSDAY E VEN IN G —H y having fallen during last night, to the depth a three an, of ea t ysnow orfeur inches, her Majesty and the Prince, taking by will change, went out this afternoon in the sledges—one dag o t e n e f f this was a year or two ago presented to the Quesi peror of Russia, and the other was built in Loen h ndon, by order of the Prince Consort, during the last winter u the .

Her Majesty 1 was attended by her Lady in Waiting, the Marchioness of Douro, and the Prince drove. Lord A. Paget followed in the Russian sledge, and Colonel Seymour, Prince Albert's Equerry_ in Waiting, followed on horseba ck. His Royal Highness led the way from the grand entrance down the Castle-hill, and entered the Great Park by the Long Walk. But unfortunately a considerable fall of rain came on shortly after they set out, and the snow was reduced to an un pleasant state of solution. Nevertheless, the party drove to the foot of the hill on which stands the statue of George and after an absence of three quarters of an ho of re , t . o the Castle. SOLDIER FOUND FROZEN TO DEATII.--CHATHAM, JAN. 21. Yesterday morning, as some boys were sliding on a pond, at the rear of the Observatory, belonging to the Royal Engineers, they observed the elbow the ice ; and part and of the shoulder of a soldie r sticking .up out of after some time, they reported the circumstance to the Sergeant- Major of the troy al Engineers, who, with assistance, and a boat-book, repaired to the spot. The boat- hook not being long enough to touch the body, one of the engineers put on a pair of water-boots, and walked to the spot, when the ice broke with him, and he then drew the dead body out. From the position of it, the legs and arms being contracted with the agonies of death, it was evident that the poor fellow had mistaken his road, as he had nearly gone acress the pond before the ice gave way. The deceased was attached a to nd the ha l d nv at is t t a h k e e n C as h e i a m r a u t e a d B a i n r r a r c e k t s u , r G n i i n l l g i n g t n h a h m i s , p al r i o d ba D b e ly pot m , i nte nse frost then prevaili n g had caused his death.

He had recently returned from the Mauritius to be pensioned off.

MARSHALL, Chief Cashier. 847. Dated the 21st day of January, SINGULAR APPREHENSION OF A GANG OF SUSPECTED BURGLARS. During the last six weeks - the family and domestics of Henry Alwin Soames, Esq., a gentleman residing in Van burgh Fields, next Maimeshill, Greenwich-park, have been subject to strange underground noises and smoke proceeding from the same direction. These have generally occurred at night. The servants, when in the passages leading to the kitchen and cellars, considered that they heard persons talk ing and knocking with some heavy instrument near the cellar situated under the parlour, which faces the lawn in the rear of the mansion. On Sunday last the family and servants were all absent, except the cook, and she became very seri ously alarmed at the strange noises. She therefore deter mined on securing every door on the premises, and on her master's return borne told him that she must leave her situation if left alone again—she felt convinced that the house was haunted. About four o'clock on Tuesday after noon Mr. Soames, being satisfied that some person or persons were at work underground, went into Greenwich-park and met police-constable Patmore, 132 It, to whom he related the circumstances, and also that smoke frequently found its way into the lower part of the house, where there was mai their chimney nor fireplace. The officer accompanied Mr. Soames to the house, a large, old-fashioned family mansion, overlooking from the back front the Thames and a very steep and rugged hanging wood. The police-constable, attended by the gardener, coach man, Sc., went on to the paddock or lawn, and at the bottom of which, 140 yards from the house, in the hanging wood, drew his attention to an opening of brickwork into a sub terraneous passage, leading to the centre of the mansion. A spaniel dog belonging to Mr. Soames being on the spot, the constable requested that he might be induced to search the cavern (as they called it) in search of rats, &c. The dog went freely in, and immediately afterwards a voice was heard at the far end calling upon the dog to quit the place. The dog returned, followed at a distance by a man, who, on seeing several persons at the entrance, retreated back to his hiding place, refusing to surrender himself. A bundle of straw was then brought from the stable, put into the mouth of the tunnel, and set fire to. This not having the desired effect, pickaxes and spades were procured, and two large openings made through the lawn to the brickwork sufficient to admit a stout man. More straw was then set fire to, and dropped into the openings made. This had the desired effect, when three blackguard fellows presented themselves, nearly suffocated, and implored to be released from their perilous situation. They were taken into custody, after which Sergeant Smith, 27, and police-constable, Pat - more, 132 R, accompanied by ,Mr. Soames's servants, lan thorns in hand, proceeded to explore the retreat. They entered the passage in the hanging wood, on their hands and knees, and on proceeding something more than 100 feet they discovered an open space, the bottom of which was boarded, and a quantity of bricks piled up and covered with boards, for seats or tables, and on one side another quantity of bricks formed into a fireplace, and which had been used for that purpose. On removing the boards from the bottom of this cell, an immense quantity of feathers were discovered about a foot and a half deep, plucked from all sorts of game and poultry, amongst which they found a cash-box and other small boxes, which had been broken open and their contents removed. Many appeared to be jewel and trinket-boxes and cases, several p ocket handkerthiefs, sundry rags, Sc., and a letter from a gentleman at Portlar l ici r o een i! nephew, Master E. Newman, of the Upper § wich Hospital. They proceeded from • this piraicchohotto,h2:rbootiugthwa passage in which they coald stand nearly_ wall,up from which yards, when they were stopped by b about 50 bricks appeared to. havaeappbeeaernedrectoentbley rloeomszeadn, and upon touching one, opening was made into thwehiccellai Of the house. But for this timely discovery, l it is apparent that a robbery of the promises would shorty have been effected. Neither Mr. Soames or any of his family had any knowledge of this passag e, having only recently removed to the robutseerfromranoons his late residence on Shooter's HilL It is sup posed to have existed for cent - axles - Oa Wednesday the prisoners, described in the police-sheet as Henry Colegate, alit* Collet, of Ratcliffe-street, Green wich, sailor ; George Phillips, of 22, Queen-street, Green wich, no occupation ; and John Jones, of Sleughtees-rents, E a st Greenwich, sailor, were charged before Mr. Traill at the Greenwich Police-court, with being found secreted in a cave kn the enclosed ground of H. A. Soames, Maize hill, hill, Greenwich, for the purpose of com m itti ng ; also with breaking part of the cell i n th e stat ion-house. Police-sergeant Smith, 27 R, and police-constable Pat more, 132 R, deposed to apprehending the prisoners, under the circumstances above detailed, and that they had found the model of a ship and several other articles, on further searching the cave. Th e model of the ship Smith thought belonged to a gentleman named Gladstone, residing near Blackheath. The police-sergeant prayed a remand tor fur ther inquiries. Mr. Traill said be would remand them for a week or longer. Remanded accordingly. ~.- r c H ~
