He (Mr. Hider) said, "So much the better, for they would want it." (Laughter.) Mr. Fitzroy said, "The feeling of the house will be against you," and the member present, whose name he did not know, added, that he had intended to vote for them, but would go against them . now, solely because of their con duct, as he had seen too much of combinations. Mr. Fitzroy referred - him to the important meeting of Monday, and to his reception of them then, as a fact which should have kept them from adopting the step which they had taken. But he told that gentleman that he bad not promised to alter the act this year, and he admitted that he had not because he could not com mit the Government ; and yet it might be inferred from his statement in the house that he had given a distinct promise. (Hear.) He told Mr. Fitzroy that it was not the object of the proprietors to withdraw their property from the streets, as they wished to pursue their business, but he thought the concessions were the very least they could ask for ; and if tbpse concessions were diminished one iota it would be impossible to carry on business. (Cheers.) Mr. Gamble (one of the deputation) told Mr. Fitzroy that the omnibus interest were considering whe ther, under the circumstances of the bill, they should take the same step as the cab proprietors had done, when Sir It. Mayne said that no class of men should be permitted to ,set themselves up above the law, and asked, "Is there no law to prevent this ?" (Laughter.) A voice, " Is there no law to prevent a shopkeeper front shutting up his shop ?") Mr. Fitzroy told them to ex pect nothing further than the concessions to whiclt he had consented, and to which Parliament would assent. He replied that it would not be sufficient for the trade. Mr. Fitzroy did not exactly ask him whether they would go to work again, but it was evident he wished to know, for be said the railways had made arrangements to bring up conveyances from the country, and, as for members of Parliament, they would rather ride in carts than sub mit to the conduct of the cab proprietors. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) He replied that he should be sorry to see members riding in carts, and that such a proceeding might be easily prevented by agreeing to all they re quested. Mr. Fitzroy repeated that it was perfectly Fitzroy tock him aside, and told him he was quite sure s o e s n s i s b e l e a n ; d h d e i sr u e cold t i 0 n s a of y n t o h e m t u r r a e d , e. and I n n iu t s h t e I e e a n v d e i Mr. t and Sir R.

Yesterday it was expected that the inconvenience to which the public had been put by the withdrawal of the cabs would be carried to its height by the withdrawal of the omnibuses, the proprietors of which held a meeting on Wednesday to determine upon the expediency of adopting that step, but are understood to have deter mined to refrain from such a proceeding at present, and their vehicles, therefore, so far at least as the hackney cabs are concerned, were yesterday in full efficiency, to the great disgust of a large proportion of the cab frater nity, who expected to paralyse the metropolis by the entire withdrawal from its streets of all hack convey ances. The cabs, as on Wednesday, were kept off the stands, and the streets consequently presented a repetition of Wednesday's semi-desolation ; but the void was in some degree supplied by the appearance of private vehicles and hired flys, which appeared in more than ordinary numbers. One striking fact in connection with the cab strike is the little effect which it appears to have pro duced in increasing the traffic by omnibus, as the num ber of passengers carried in that manner during the last wo days, so far from exceeding the average, seems to have fallen below it, showing, evidently, that the classes of riders usually patronising the two modes of convey ance referred to are so widely distinct as to render om nibuses useless to cab riders, or, on the other hand, that the public resent the rise from threepenny to fourpenuy fares which has within the last few days taken place on some of the main omnibus routes. At the various railway stations large bodies of police were again kept on duty throughout the day, but, with the exception of the little emeute which occurred on Wednesday morning at King's-cross, r..nd in which a re• fractory driver had the panels of his carriage smashed by his indignant brethren of the whip, we believe no disturbance has taken place among the drivers, wh , fact, assembled at their various points of rendezv' smaller numbers than on the previous day, the oi eiateralit'afijkaring in iritite inevisiirelOThaveira; and the question of " ways and means" having forced itself upon the attention of a portion drivers as to induce them to spread themselves in vai. directions, with a view to supply the deficit arising from the cessation of their ordinary avocations. Large num bers also retreated to the " privacy of the tap-room," to canvass the opinions so freely expressed by the various daily papers upon the motives and prospects of the movement ; and it was somewhat amusing to wit ness the hearty way in which they "d —d the eyes" of all who dared to condemn the • Revolt of Cabdotn." Within the railway stations the inconvenience of Wednesday was somewhat lessened, owing to the ener getic measures taken by the various companies, a larger supply of vehicles of all descriptions being in attend ance than the unexpected event at first enabled them to command. Livery stable keepers and costermongers were alike put under contribution, the motto of the day being, " Scraps thankfully received ;" and pas sengers arriving from the country had a choice of conveyance for themselves and luggage, ranging from the chariot to the costermonger's barrow, while numerous strange looking porters of the amateur class beset the gates, anxious to pounce upon any indivi dual who emerged from within, luggage in hand. Some of the newly arrived, however, from their dress appa rently belonging to the respectable classes, resolutely.re fused all offers of assistance, and went staggering along under heavy loadewhich, under ordinary circumstances, they would probably scorn to touch, but which they now preferred to carry rather than become the victims of the cab conspiracy. Altogether, upon the arrival of a train, the disgorgement of its freight presented outside the sta tion a tout ensemble well worthy the inspection of the curious observer of men and manners in times of diffi culty. The Commissioners of Inland Revenue have sanctioned the employment of any description of vehicle at the dif ferent terminii without the necessity of a previous license ; and extra omnibuses and flys are provided by several of the companies, who also undertake the transit of luggage to and from the stations at moderate charges. These are no doubt only the first steps to wider measures of retaliation on the part of the public, which may make the cab proprietors repent the folly of their present conduct. Among cabmen the on dit is, that the strike will, at least, be kept for a fortnight, should not their demands be granted, and liable to renewal, according to circum stances. They insist, at the same time, upon the reason able nature of their demands, and only wonder how Mr. Fitzroy and the Parliament can refuse to grant them. PROCEEDINGS OF THE CAB PROPRIETORS. The Committee of the United Hackney Carriage Pro prietors met at the Cranbourne Hotel to consider the best mode of carrying into effect the resolutions agreed to by the meeting held at the National-hall on Wednes day, and, after a long discussion, agreed to draw up a memorial embodying those resolutions for presentation to the Home-office. A deputation was then appointed, and proceeded at once with the memorial to the Home office for the purpose of obtaining an interview with Mr. Fitzroy. They presented their demands in the form of the following provisions, which the cab-owners desired to have enacted : vho, in I- work, men !go to work."

Her Majesty in Council having granted a Royal Charter of Inc w poration, the Directors feel it a duty promptly to brim; into effective operation the means which they believe best calculated to insure the most direct and expeditious communication with Australia, and thereby to satisfy a requirement of great and growing urgency. The route proposed. viz.—the direct line connecting England with Australia, and crossing the Isthmus of Panama, may he considered as divined into three stages—the Atlantic passage, the transit across the Isthmus, and the Pacific passage -to Sydney and Melbourne al ternately, coaling at Otabeite or other convenient station. On the first it is unnecessary to dwell ; of the second, all difficulties are in process of speedy removal by the line of railway now approaching its completion,* with attendant accommodation of suitable hotels at both extremes ; and the third, favoured as it is with the smoothest seas, with moderate winds, a pleasant temperature, and the absence of adverse currents, may indisputably be described as presenting the. most unoejectionable navigation in the world. The directors, therefore, availing themselves of the long practical experience of Capts. A. S. Hamond, R. N., and J. Cochrane Hoseason, R.N.—who, for several years, have held command of steam-ships on the Pacific, New Zealand, and Australian stations, and of whose published opinions the soundness has been fully confirmed by recent results, adopt this course, as comb`ning the essential ad vantages of speed, of comfort, of economy, of safety, reserving, how ever, the power to avail themselves of any more desirable line of transit across any other section of Central America, which time may possibly develop. The speed and rernlarity with which paddle-wheel steamer& —on the Cunard and Collins' lines—have performed their passages across the turbulent seas of the Norte Atlantic, having established a con viction that this mode of propulsion is best calculated for long voy ages, at high velocity—it is proposed to employ paddle-wheel steamers of about 3,000 tons, with commensurate engine power— c,4nbiniug all well established Improvements —in reference to ma chinery, uniformity of size, proportions, and cabin accommodation. The vessels will proceed at stated periods from Milford Haven to Aspinwall (Navy Bay), on the Atlantic side of the Isthmus; from whence passengers and cargo will be conveyed by railway to Panama, on the Pacific side, and there re embarked for Australia, accomplish ing the whole distance, to or from, in about fifty-five days. The Di rectors, after the most deliberate consideration, have decided that Miliord Haven, as the port of departure promises advantages, which few other ports can supply, viz., the safest an,horage —entrance and exit at all times—facilities of repair—supply of most suitable coals —and easy communication by rail with London, Manchester, and all, the manufacturing districts. It is thought unnecessary to dwell on the greaf extension of general traffic, wherever proper facilities of intercourse by steam have been afforded; it may, however, be b. iefiy stated that the produce of gold during the year 1852, in the colony of Victoria alone, amounted to over 18,000,0001., with every prospect of a continuous increase, exclu sive of the produce of New South Wales, which forms a large addi tion to this vat+ t amount ; that during the months January, February, March, and April last, the specie transmitted across the Isthmus— from Peru and Chili, from the western coast of Mexico, and from Calf°, nia—amounted to 20,410,796 dollars, exceeding 4,000,0001. sterling; and that the passenger traffic by the same route and for the same period amounted to 10,568 persons, irrespective of th^se conveyed by the San Juan de Nicaragua line. It may be, moreover, observed that this extent of traffic, however great, affords no ade quate idea of the vast trade which will arise to feed this line when In full operation, with all the important advantages of a completed railway and of a sy. tematic conduct of business. Large additions to this vast traffic must necessarily flow from the Increasing intercourse between North America and the Australian colonies, facilitated as such intercourse is by the powerful lines of steamers alrealy established between the United States and the Isthmus of Panama in the North Atiantiz, and between California and Panama in the North Pacific. The augmented line of steamers als) employed by the Pacific Steam Navigation Company between Valparaiso and Panama must considerably swell the stream. These great results stand in perfect independence of a line projected which will, in all probability, at no distant period, connect California and China, and likewise of traffic the natural result of conveyance of passePgers and valuable merchan dise diverted from old and circuitous routes. The Directors derive great encouragement from the knowledge that the o. , ject. of this Company are favoured with the high approval of British intrchsnts in general. Many of the most eminent London houses have strongly expressed their apprObation ; and the following document fully attests the spirit in which the enterprise is regarded by several influential and distinguished Manchester firms:— " We, the umiersigned, being desirous of encouraging the esta blishment of a iine of first class steam packets, offering increased facilities and advantages for the transit of passengers and goods, to and frofn Australia and the different important states in the Pacific Ocean, and being deeply impressed with the advantages of the route by the way of the Isthmus of Panama, since the establishment of the railroad at that place connecting the two oceans—hereby signi,y our approval of the projected British and Australian Direct Screw . Packet Company,t for :he purpose of carrying out the line of com munication to those parts in the most efficient manner." (Signed) R. Gladstone end Co. Henry B. Jackson. Horrocks, Jacson, and Co. R.

John Pender and Co. J. A. Turner and Co. George Fraser, Scn, and Co. - - • - As indicative of the approval of the Australian authorities and com munity—they have much satisfaction in adding the followir g extract of a letter received from Stuart Alexander Donald-on, Esq , Member of the Legislative Council of the colony of New South Wales, dated "Sydney, 22d November, 1852:" " In my piece in council 1 have ever been a warm public advocate for the advantages of steam—and all I have ever said has gained ten fold force since tin stupendous gold discovery ; and, moreover, I have late-ly advocated this very Panama line--and I carried, on the 28th of August, by a unmimoos voe of the council, a public grant of 6,0001. a year to the first company that shall bring Sydney within a coarse of post of 120 da' s with London. My original idea was all for Panama, but I generalised the motion to obtain unanimity; and that Panama will first claim the bonus I feel quite sure. The gold will go 'y the quickest boats. The quantity of gold to be produced in 1853 and 1854 no human being can tell ; it is at present nearly at the rate of 20,000,00 01 . a-year. I assure you I feel the greatest in terest in your success, ant great confidence that your line will pay." The unsatisfactory state of the present communication with the Australian Colonies, coupled with the strong feeling prevalent in favour of the Panama route 4 points to this as the only means left of establishing the shortest possible period of communication ; and the Directors, from the demonstrations and experience of the nautical members of their Board, from the assurances of the most successful ship-builders and engineers, and from arrangements formed at Panama, entertain no doubt that the passage can be accomplished in the time stated, and that the course or post can be lately and regu larly reduced to about 120 days, including the interval between arrival and departure of the mails. In conclusion, the Directors observe, that this Company, not bur dened with unsuitable ship., nor constrained to adopt unproductive deviations, may confid e ntly anticipate the ultimate command of the postal service. They feel as sured that, after arran g in g moderate rates fur passengers, s p e cie, and freight —an ample margin fir working charges, insurance, and repairs and also a reserved fund for the replacement of ships and machinery—they are justified in believing that Tars TRUNK LINE promises to realise a most remunera tive divid,iid.

DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO • OVERTHROW A RAILWAY TRAlN.—During Thursday night a diabolical attempt was made to overthrow a train on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, near to Deepcar. At half-past one o'clock on Friday morning a goods train left the Sheffield station for Manchester, and about 200 yards westward of the Deepcar station, the engine -driver of the train saw that a sleeper was lying across the up line. He immediately stopped his train and removed the sleeper. Considerable pains had been taken by the evildoers to secure the sleeper from being thrown off the line by the engine-wheel guards. No trains but those we3tward ran on that line, and there fore the sleeper had been secured on the eastern side by being backed up with another sleeper, the lower end of which was firmly fixed against one of the sleepers to which the rails are fastened. The engine-driver had scarcely got his train again in motion when he saw the Man chester goods train approaching. He signalled the driver to stop, and told him what had been done. The ' driver of the Manchester train, theref ore, ran his train Ivery slowly, and arrived at Sheffield without any mischi ef . Most fortunately, the Manchester train was an hour beyond its time, or a fearful accident would have been inevitable. Active measures are being taken for the apprehension of the offender.—Sheffield Times, TURKEY AND RUSSIA. The following is the protest issued by the Porte against the occupation of the Principalities by Russia':— " The Sublime Porte has just been officially informed that the Russian army has crossed the Pruth, and that it has entered Moldavia, with the intention of also occupying Wallachia. This movement, effected without its co-opera tion, upon an integral part of its empire, has occasioned it as much sorrow as surprise. It is painful for it to behold the inhabitants of those loyal and peaceful provinces ex posed to all the chances of a military occupation. It is difficult for it to reconcile such an act of aggression with the pacific declarations and amicable assurances so often reiterated•by the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. It is still more difficult for it not to be astonished at an operation which is an infringement of the principles established in the treaty of 1811. "The Sublime Porte, in expressing the sentiments which this event has caused it, cannot dispense with set ting in their true light some circumstances to which the ministers of his Imperial Majesty have in vain endeavoured to give a conclusion such as their love of justice and tran quillity made them desire. " The negotiations which were opened in concert with Prince Mentschikoff were restricted at first to the points which offered difficulties relative to the question of the Holy Places, and the differences which were the principal objects thereof speedily received a solution of a nature to satisfy all parties interested. • • - "We have consented, moreover, to the construction of a church and hospital at Jerusalem for the especial use of the Russians, so that the concessions demanded in favour of the priests and pilgrims of the same nation have not been refused to either. "After the happy conclusion of the part of the negocia tions which related to the sole ostensible object of the extraordinary mission of Prince Mentschikoff, that ambas sador hastened to press another demand, which, if it had been admitted by the Government of his Majesty the Sul tan, could not have failed being a grave attack on Vae in terests of the empire, and of compromising the sovereign rights which are its ornaments and its supports. -- “ Ib has baen - seen by the official ccnnniumications - wh . the Sublime Porte has at various times made to the Great Powers, that it does not hesitate to give sufficient assur ances capable of dissipating the doubts which led to the discussions relative to the rights, spiritual privileges, and other immunities attached thereto, and which the Greek churches and Greek priests possess, on the part of his Majesty the Sultan. Far from wishing to withdraw any Great portion of those privileges, or even of restricting the en joyment consecrated by their utility, his Imperial Majesty makes a glory to confirm them publicly, and, faithful to the maxims of justice and mercy, of placing them safe from all prejudice, by the means of a solemn act bearing his hatti-cherif, and which was made known to all friendly Governments. Such being the case, it would be an act of supererogation to encumber this question with a heap of de tails. It suffices here to demonstrate that, on the one hand, the demand of the Russian ambassador, notwithstanding certain modifications, either in the terms or in the form, remained inadmissible in consequence of what has just been explained ; whilst, on the other hand, it had no real ob ject, in consequence of the solemn guarantees given spon taneously by the Sovereign himself, in face of the whole world. These incontestable facts suffice to relieve the Su blime Porte from all obligation to excuse itself further on the subject of the religious privileges. It is incontestably evident that the independence of a sovereign state is null, if among its attributes it does not possess that of refusing without offence a demand unauthorised by treaties, and the acceptance of which would at the same time be super fluous as regards its ostensible object, and no less humi liating than hurtful to the high party declining it. " Nevertheless, the Sublime Porte in no way desists from its amicable and profoundly sincere desire not only to fulfil all its engagements towards Russia with the most 1 scrupulous exactitude, but, moreover, to give it any new j proof of its cordial dispositions compatible with the sacred rights of its sovereignty, and with the honour and funds mental interests of its empire. " It is always ready to reiterate the assurances promised I in the letter dated 4th (16th) June, written in reply to that of his Excellency Count Nesselrode, bearing date the 19th of May ; and it is still disposed, if an arrangement of a nature to satisfy Russia can be arrived at without pre judice to the sacred rights of the Sultan, to send an ambas sador extraordinary to St. Petersburgh, to seek, in concert with the Russian Cabinet, the means of arriving at that end. "As regards the passage in tho letter of his Excellency Count Nesselrode relative to the eventual invasion of the Ottoman territory, the Sublime Porte has already declared that it cannot accept it; and as that letter, as well as the reply of the Ottoman ministry, was at once communicated to the powers that signed the treaty of 1841, it evidently becomes needless to enter into details on so painful a question. " In consequence of these circumstances, and in virtue of these considerations, the government of his Majesty had reason to hope that the founded motives which he never ceased to allege to justify the refusal of his consent, the impossibility in which he finds himself of according it, and the sincere desire which at different times he has expressed to see a renewal of the cordial relations between the two high parties, would be finally appreciated, and that the Court of Russia would return to more equitable sentiments towards it, the Sublime Porte feels the more sorrow in finding itself deceived in this hope, es the eminent qualities of the Emperor of Russia, his known justice and modera tion, did not allow it to suppose that his Majesty would be capable of wishing to ground his demands upon other bases than those of reason and common right, as he had but recently given, both to the Sultan himself and to the European Powers, positive assurances of his desire to re spect the dignity and maintain the independence of the Ottoman empire. "And it is in this state of things that the Sublime Porte has just received the official notice that the Russian troops have crossed the frontier. " If the Court of Russia persists in founding the demand to consecrate, by a document obligatory towards it, the religious privileges of which it is a question on the treaty of Kainardje, it must be observed that the promise con tained in the first part of Art. 7 of that treaty, relative to the protection of the Christian religion and its churches, is a generality; and that degree of importance attributed to it by Russia can scarcely be found in it, still less a spe ciality in favour of the Greek religion. " However this may be, if the Sublime Porte omitted to protect the Christian religion and churches, it is then only that it would be time to remind it of its promise by quoting that treaty ; and it is no less clear that this new proposition cannot be founded by that treaty, inasmuch as the privileges and immunities of the Greek religion have been granted (octroye) by the Sublime Porte, with out the demand or intervention of any one whomsoever. It is, in fact, a point of honour for it to maintain them at present and in the future, and a duty imposed upon it by its system, full of soli c it u d e f or its subjects. The firmans which have recently been promulgated, and which confirm the privileges and the immunities of all religions, publicly testify to the firm intentions of the Sublime Porte in this respect., in such manner that without the slightest doubt a foreign intervention is not at all required for the purpose. Only, whereas the Court of Russia, what ever may be the motive, has conceived suspicions with re gard to those religious privileges, and as the Greek religion is that of the august Emperor, and a great portion of his subjects, the Sublime Porte, moved by these considera tions, and also from deference to the amicable relations which still exist between the two Powers, does not retire before the resolution of giving sufficient assurances to his subjects. But, if a government contracts, on the rights and privileges which from its own mov.bment it has accorded to the churches and priests of a nation of so many millions of souls submitted to its authority, exclusive obligations with another government, it would be to share its authority with that government ; it would be nothing less than the annihilation of its own independence. " The treaties concluded between the Sublime Porte and the Court of Russia, concerning the two principalities, do not authorise in any manner the sending of troops by Russia into these two countries ; and the article relating thereto, which is in the Sened of Balta-Liman, is subordinate to the case of the breaking out of internal disturbances ; which is by no means the case in the present instance. " The fact is, that this aggressive proceeding on the part of Russia cannot in principle be 'considered in any other light than a declaration of war, giving to the Sub lime Porte the incontestable right of employing military , force in return. But the Sublime Porte is far from wish in,gto push its rights to the extreme. Strong in the justice which regulates its policy towards the PoWers, it Prefers reserving them, in the expectation of a spontaneous return of Russia to a ine of action more conformable to its decla rations. It is with a view to remove every obstacle to that return that it restricts itself at present against the aggres sion of which it has such just right to complain. It thinks thereby to offer to the whole world an additional proof of the moderation of the system it has adopted since the commencement of this affair. It abstains from any hos tile act, but it declares that it in no manner consents to the entrance, from time to time, of troops into the provinces of Moldavia and Wallachia, which are integral parts of the Ottoman empire, regarding them as a house without a master. " It protests, therefore, formally and openly, against that act • and, in the conviction that the Powers that signed the treaty of 1841 would not give their consent to such an aggression, it has given them an explanation of th circumstances, and meantime maintains an armed attitude for its defence. "In conclusion , it repeats that his Majesty the Sultan is always desirous of meeting any founded reclamation of the Court of Russia, of which he has already given proof more than once, and is ready to redress any grievance con cerning the religious affairs of which his Greek subjects might have cause to complain ; that that reparation has been made as regards the Holy Places ; that that question has been solved to the satisfaction of Russia ; and that the Sublime Porte does not hesitate to offer more explicit as surances to confirm the arrangement which has been made to the satisfaction of all parti 1853 (8 Cherval, 1269)." es.

RESULT OF THE DEPUTATION. Upon the return of the deputation, Mr. HIDER, who had acted as its spokesman, reported to the meeting that the deputation had had an interview with Mr. Fitzroy at the House of Commons, in com pany with Sir R. Mayne, Sir J. Shelley, and another Member of Parliament, whose name he did not know ; but he was sorry to inform the meeting that their hopes, if highly raised, would be disappointed. The first thing which Mr. Fitzroy did was to express his regret at the step which they had taken, as, however much he might have been inclined to do for them on Monday, he was not, through their subsequent conduct, in so g??d ao sition to do it now. They then went into the consideration of the conditions contained in the memori al. The first w a s the demand of is. for a hiring under two miles. Mr. Fitz roy said he could not secede to it. I t t unreasonable to ask it, and quite impcble to do anything of the sort. (" Oh, oh !") The n exon t cdonthdietifoonurwtha: and pma ment of ls. for every m ile be y Fitzroy said be should that night propose a clause fixing ourt —Charing mile beyond the f h • the fare at is. for every fourth —Charing cross to be the central point. (Cheers, and " That will cl "1 In fact, upon looking into it, the clause was found - • , with their proposition. That was to agree excellently the first thing Mr. Fitzroy could glve them, and the next was the 6d. which they required for every passenger be yond two ; and that Mr. Fitzroy was also willing to grant, whether they carried three, four, or five passengers. (Cheers.) The next point was the luggage. Mr. Fitzroy a dmitted the reasonableness of their - request, and stated so to Sir R. Mayne, but'decided that no such alteration could be made. They next came to the time charged, which Mr. Fitzroy insisted was in their favour ; but he (the speaker) objected that all the seeming advantage which it conferred upon them was more than counter balanced by the disagreeable feeling which it raised in the minds of passengers. (Hear, hear.) They then passed to the appeal, with which Mr. Fitzroy said he could do nothing, as the clauses were to be introduced into the Chancellor of the Exchequer's bill. (Oh, oh !)• Mr. Fitzroy also admitted that the request with regard to the Hansom cabs was a reasonable one ; but for the same reason as the preceding demand, he could not do it, inasmuch as it was a mere point of discipline, and would render necessary the introduction of a new act. (Oh, oh !) Mr. Fitzroy again alluded to the disagree able feeling caused by the strike, when he (the speaker) said it would be exceedingly easy to do away with that feeling by granting all the demands made. (Hear, bear.) Mr. Fitzroy replied that Parliament might have been in a position to do so, but their very foolish movement had put it out of the question to do it now, and they had themselves to thank for that. (Laughter.) He replied to this, that he believed the movement would never have been attempted had it not been for that very unfortunate decision at Bow-street about Phillips. (Hear, hear.) Sir R. Mayne said, " Yes, yes ; that was very bad ;" but Mr. Fitzroy said, " You ought not to come here and blame me for the wrong decision of a magistrate," and yet Mr. Fitzroy had the proper place to appeal. Sir J. Shelley also blamed them for the step which they had taken, and asked why they had not first brought the matter fully before those who were so anxious to do them hn justice e (laughter) ; and yet Sir J. Shelley had told him, when asked to present their petition, that he was ! entirely against them ; and he should have done very wrong to go to him a ft er t h at. (Hear , h ear ) Sir J, Shelley also THE CABMEN'S HOLIDAY. At the Clerkenwell Police Court, Richard Johnson, John Jackson, Richard Gurney, Robert Franklin, and John Leary, cabmen, and Dennis Shehan, beer-shop keeper, were ch arge d w ith b e i ng d run k an d disorderly. Mr. Wakeling was for the defence. It appeared in evidence that in consequence of the strike of the cab proprietors, Inspector Champney, with several other officers of the S division stationed themselves at the Great Northern Railway terminus, on Wednesday, to preserve the peace. Nothing, however, in particular occurred until between six and seven o'clock, when the defendants, who were in an open phaeton, in which was carried a flag decorated with blue ribbons, &c., drove furiously into a snob of from 600 to 700 men, women, and children, who had congregated to witness the con fusion and inconvenience felt by passengers arriving by the different trains, and commenced hallooing and making all sorts of discordant sounds to create excite ment, frequently calling out " Cabs for ever." The de fendants shortly drove away, but returning again, wit ness locked them up. Mr. Wakeling contended that his clients had done no wrong, and were justified in making an exhibition of any fancied injury. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that the officers had done well to appre hend the defendants, whom he cautioned, and held to bail for three months to keep the peace. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JULY 28. The Gefion, 48, Captain Sundewall, bearing the broad pendant of Commodore Schrseder, and the Amazone cor vette, 14, Captain Schirmecher, arrived this morning at Spithead, from Norfolk, United States, which place they sailed from on the 9th of July on a cruise. They sailed from Flushing on the 10th of November last, and have touched at Madeira, Teneriffe, Liberia, Rio de Janeiro, Monte Video, Barbadoes, Carthagena, and called off the Havannah, but would not have any communi cation, owing to the prevalence of the yellow fever. The Gefion is a frigate, mounting 48 guns—six 8-inch and the remainder long 24's—with a complement of 381, including officers and men, who are a remarkably fine athletic ship's company. The captain is a fine-looking officer. This ship was captured by a Prussian battery when the Danish 74 was sunk, during the Schleswig- Holstein war. The corvette mounts 14 12-pounders, and was at this port in 1845. Her crew is 138. The Commodore saluted the Governor with 21 guns on bringing up, which was immediately acknowledged by a like compliment from the platform battery. Ho then saluted the acting Port-Admiral (Rear-Admiral Super intendent Fanshawe, C. 8.) with 13 guns, which the Neptune 120 (Admiral Fanshawe's flag-ship), returned. The Chevalier Vandenbergh, his Prussian Majesty's Vice- Consul at this port, went off to the Commodore in the Liverpool cutter (the revenue vessel), accompanied by Mr. Trestrail, Tide•surveyor of Customs, to receive the gallant officer's commands and pay his respects. Under the Consul's guidance, the Commodore and officers will have landed and been presented to the naval and military chiefs by M. Vandenbergh by the time this report leaves, and they will be hospitably entertained during their sojourn at this port by both services. The Consul was saluted with seven guns on leaving the side of the Gefion. These ships have come to this port to await orders from their Government. Her Majesty's steam-vessel, Bloodhound, 3, Lieute nant-Commander H. Christie, from the coast of Africa, to-day took coal on board in the Sound, and proceeded this evening to Portsmouth. She left Madeira on the 12th inst., and Lisbon on the Ist. Spoke, June 24th, in lat. 21 24 N., long. 22 08 W., the emigrant-barque Protomelia ; June 26, in lat. 24 N., long. 20 W., the Danish brig John ; and July 15, in lat. 36 30 N., long. 12 11 W., the brig Amaranth—all outward bound. There were no men-of-war at Lisbon. The Vulture steam-sloop, with the Devon lighter in tow, left yesterday for Pembroke, to assist in floating the Caesar. - The ship Windermere, 601 tons, Captain Robert Ross, with 9,000 ounces of gold dust and 16 passengers, which left Geelong on the 29th of March, and rounded Cetpe Horn on the Bth of May, is in Channel. The Windermere signalled on the 3d of June, in lat. 22 52 S., long. 2S 50 W., the John Pink, from London.

PEMBROKE.—THE FAILURE TO LAUNCH THE CESAR. —This vessel still occupies her former position, and we are sorry to observe that she has received very heavy damage. About two-thirds of her length are still upon the ways and sliding planks, and 70 or 80 feet have passed over and sunk into a yielding material, and the her keel has been very much bent. This forces r keel to present an appearance of being much strained, and leads some to suppose that her "back " is broken.he; Her upper timbers have been much twi sted, and deck planks present evident signs of overstraining. it i s , however, impossible to calculate, or even ascertain, the amount of damage she has received ; and until she has been got off, and the frame, works, and ways thoroughly examined, the real cause of the mishap must remain un. explained. The riba,n& of the launching ways are quite free, so nothing can be attributed to the vessel having become jammed against them, as was at first supposed. The ground underneath the cradle and ways likewise appears firm and hard, and has every appearance of being quite sound. Whatever may prove to be the cause of the disaster, one thing is certain—that the ship will have to be taken into dock, and undergo thorough overhauling ; and, as she is rather short for her breadth of b eam , it is said that the best thing that can be done with her will be to cut her in two at the midship section, and. by inserting 20 or 30 feet, make a first-rate, of 116 or 120 guns, of her. She is now shored and blocked up, and must remain as she lies until the next spring tides. Proper purchases and falls, and necessary tackle, have been sent round from Devonport to aid in getting her off, and camels are being placed under her stern. The greatest excitement and anxiety have been evinced by all parties relative to this untoward mischance, and thousands of persons have been to see the vessel as she lies. The inhabitants have been unanimous in volun. Leering their aid and assistance, MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE. ' r tIkY VIDEiNT OLERTiS' ASSOCIATION.- Ttk ta.. TRUSTEES.* Thor ns 7 Raring, Esq., m.p.
