In support of her opposition she asserted that a young child who accompa nied her was the fruit of the intimate relations she had long held with Reinhold. The Mayor said that that cir cumstance was not sufficient to warrant him in refusing to celebrate the marriage. The young woman then went to the house of the Cahens, and told the mother and daughter that she had been seduced by R. inhold, and cruelly abandoned. The mother showed much sym pathy towards her, but the young lady declared that she would persist in marrying Reinhold. " Even if he was affianced to you," said she, " and even if he be the father of your child, it matters net, fer in France a young girl has no objection to marry a man who has had an illegitimate child:" "In Germany," returned the other, "it is difflent, for tt ere I have already succeeded in preveeting his marriage on two or three occasions." On finding that the greatest danger." " Wh at danger:'' asked this remark prod uce d no effect, she added, "Leave to this child hi s f at h er , I b eg of you—if' not, y ou will incur the other, but the visitor only replied by warning the young girl to reflect on what she had said. The next day Mayer Reinredd received a letter in these words-- When yo u rece i ve t hi s lett.. r, Mayer, you will again be my afF,.anccd, and your Calico will be mar rie.i Nitta h. aver'!" On the same day she paid a second visit to the Cahens, and prayed and supplicated that the marriage with Mayer Reinhold might be broken off. But on a peremptory refusal being given she with drew. A iew hours laser, however, she returned to the house, and on being told that the young girl had eone to a draper's ship in the town, she hurried there, and, rushing into the shop, cried, " Will you leave me, Meyer—yes or no?" Mademoiselle Cahen cried, "No I ' Whereupon She drew a pistol from ber bosom, and fired at her rival. Luckily the contents did not touch her, and on seeieg this, the woman rushed upon the young girl, seized her by the throat like a fury, and attempted to strangle her. She was, how ever, separated from her victim. She then calmly proceeded to the mayor's house, and constituted herself prisoner. The mayor went to seek the gendarmes, leav ing her alone. She mght then have escap-d, but on a suegestion to that effect being made to her, she rejected it disdain nay, anti subsequently wrote to her brother, "to have escaped would have been disgraceful." Being brought to trial at the last ifss:zes of the department of Moselle, the facts here stated were proved in evidence. As, however, the ill•treatment the poor woman had re ceived from Mayer Reinhold excited universal sympathy in her behalf, the jury gladly seized hold of the fact that no ball had been discpvered in the shop, to assume that the pistol was not loaded, though the accused herself had at one time asserted the contrary; accordingly they returned a verdict of acquiital, to the intense satisfac tion of an immense multitude assembled in the Court and its vicinity. PRICF. SD. INAUGURATION OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT, K.G., AS CHAN CELLOR, OF CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. The inauguration of his Royal Highness Prince Al bert, K.G., as Chancellor of the University, will take place on Thursday, March 25. The deputations from the University will consist of the Vice-Chancellor, the Heads of Colleges, the Caput, the Proctors, Registrary, and the Esquire Bodel. Whe ther the members of the Senate in general will attend the ceremony we have not learned. The deputation will proceed to Buckingham Palace at the hour appointed. At the ceremony the Vice- Chancellor will address the Chancellor in an English speech ; he will then deliver him the letters patent, sealed with the University seal, and also the book of the University statutes. The Chancellor will then take the oaths of the alle giance and supremacy, and then the oath of office, after which the Vice-Chancellor, taking him by the right hand, places the Chancellor in the chair ; the Public Orator will then advance and make a Latin speech, after which the Chancellor will reply in English. His Royal Highness the Chancellor wilt entertain the deputation at dinner in the evening. —Cambridge Ad vertiser. S 11, MARCH 18, 1847. of Aldermen will completely outstrip us.—(Great laughter.) The resolution was then agreed to. Mr. Asittutsz then moved, 4 . That the Court had a right to regulate its own proceedings." Mr. AIDERTON seconded the motion, and said he was de lighted at perceiving that a new light had darted in upon the Co irt of Aldermen. Alderman COPELAND denied that the light was at all new. He had himself held the opinion from the time of his Mayor alty, which Mr. Ashurst was pleased to call more popular than that which preceded it.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. COPE said he thould oppose the motion, as he denied that the Court had a right to put questtJns in such a form. The resolution was then agreed to. Mr. ASHUEST finally proposed the following resolution— " That that portion of the report agreed to this day which refers' to reforms requiring the aid of Parliament, be referred back to the committee of the whole Court to consider and report." The LORD MAYOR refused to put the question, and said he considered that it would be necessary to give notice of the last motion; an observation at which several' members expressed the utmost surprise, and some of them expressed great in dignation. The Town Clerk, who had been in communication with the Lord Mayor, the Recorder having left the Court some time previously, was roughly blamed as the adviser of his Lord ship to a course at variance with the opinions and feelings of the great mass of the Corporation. He was represented by one of the members as being in the habit of advising ad tersely to the general 'Sentiments of that branch of the Cor poration, and he was addressed personally in terms to which it was quite obvious he was a stranger. The Learned Ser geant made no remarks upon the character of the accusa tion, which, no doubt, the member who male it will regret when he learns that it was unjust. The advice of the Town Clerk was, "to put the question. 7 Mr: HARTLEY (as our reporter understood) gave notice of a motion to the effect of that which had been ineffectually brought forward. The Court then proceeded to the business mentioned in the paper. THE CORONER OF THE CITY OF LONDON. Mr. WHETHADI brought up the report in the reference res pecting the holding of inquests. It expressed the very highest approbation of the conduct of the Learned Coroner Mr. Payne in holding inquests in cases of fire, as having tended to check the atrocious practices of incendiaries, and set an example which had been followed with great benefit to the community by many prdvincial coroners. The report was agreed to unanimously.—Adjourned. TilE DRAINAGE AMENDMENT ACT. The following is an abridgment of the Bill introduced by Sir George Grey and the Lord Advocate, for the purpose of explaining and amending the Act passed last session authorising the advance of money for the im provement of land by drainage in Great Britain:- 1. That the fohowing may he included among the ex penses of works of drainage, in respect of which ad vances may have been made under the previous Act— reitnely, the expense of maleng an outtall through other land, or such part as the Commissioners may' think rea sonable; the expense of making open drains and water courvrs, includinz such open drains and water-courses as may need frequent repair; and the expense of fencing, trenching, and clearing the surface of the land to be drained, for the purpose of converting the same from waste or pasture into arable or tillage hind, where it may be necessary to secure and render pr,ductive the pro posed improvement by drainage; provided that it shall appear to the Commissioners that in all such cases efore said, the works will effect an improvement in the yearly ',sites of the land, which will exceed the utmost yearly amount which can be charged thereon under the said Act in respect of the advance applied for. 2. That where, by the said Act, the plan, estimate, and specification of the proposed drainage is required to be inspected or examined by, and to be annexes to, the report of the assistant-commissioner, or surveyor, or engineer, unless the commissioners shall otherwise di rect, to itivire into and to embody in his report =ltch pariculars of the land proposed to be drained, and of the proposed manner of effecting the drainage, and of the esti.nated expenses, as shall appear to him sufficient to enable the commissioners to judge of the expediency of an advance in respect of the proposed works; and that it shall be lawful for the commissioners to certify their opinion that an advance should be made in respect of any works, notwithstanding any deviation from the proposed manner of effecting the drainage , if such deviation shall appear to be expedient, and productive of improvement. 3. That all parties who shall have made applications for advances under the said Act may at any i time, be fore provisional certificates shall have been issued, by writing addressed to the commissioner, withdraw or re duce the amount of the advances for which their several applications are made. .. .. 4. That where separate applications shall have been made by the same owner for several advances for the drainage of several lands, or where successive applica tions shall have been made for an advance, and a further advance for works of drainage on the same lands, it shall be lawful for the commissioners (with the consent of the owner for the time being of such lands) by their pro ' visional certificate, to declare such applications to ee cinsolidated and treated as one application, alter notice is given by advertisement, the same as under an appli cation for an advance. 5. That where a provisional certificate has been issued under the said Act, it shall be lawful for the commis sionera to certify to the Commissioners of the Treasury that an advance on account shall be made in respect of any part of the proposed works which shall have been actually executed, not exceeding in amount the whole of the sum then actually expended thereon. 6. That no provisional certificate shall be issued under the said Act, unless it shall be shown to the satisfaction of the commissioners, or security be given to their satis faction by the party applying for the advance, that the works for which the advance is to be made may be com pleted within the period of three years; and provided that, if it shall appear to the commissioners that the completion of the works within the time mentioned is impracticable, it shall be lawful for the commissioners to allow such further time as they shall think reasonabb , not exceeding two years. 7. That certificates and provisional certificates under the said Act may be made in such form as the commis.• sionprs shall think fit; and every such certificate and provisional certificate respectively, when sealed with the seal of the commissioners, shall be conclusive evidence that all the applications and acts whatsoever have been made and done by the persons authorised to make and do the same, and that an advance may be issued by virtue of such certificate, and that the land shall become charged in respect of such advance. 8. That any owner of land to whom a provisional cer tificate shall have been issued under the said Act, or any subsequent owner of such land, may assign such provi sional certificate, by way of security, to any person who may have advanced, or may agree to advance, moneys for the execution of the works thereiu mentioned; and such assignee shall be entitled to claim and receive such advances as the owner by whom the assignment shall have been made might have claimed and received in case such assignment hid not been made. HAMBITRGH MAIL. HAMBUROH MARCH 14.—There is again much floating ice at Stade and Shulan, and the twolight-ships have again been obliged to leave their stations. Below Shulan more than forty vessels have been brought to anchor; on the south side several large vessels, among them the Victoria, Captain Meyer, the Edmund, Captain Smith, Jenny, Captain Pooy sen, &c. &c. Up here at the city there has been a great accumulating of ice since yesterday ; the steamers William and Marshall have been obliged to remain in the harbour. The latter attempted to start this morning, but was compel led to return. Indeed several ships which sailed a few days ago have been compelled to return in consequence of the quantity of drift ice. HAMBLYRGII, MARCH 12.—The Harburg steamer came in this morning, but all navigation is now suspended in conse quence of the great accumulation of ice. At Shulan and Blankenese there is a great quantity of firm ice—more southward there is still a little clear water. The London mail of the 9th has not yet arrived. COLOGNE, M.ARCII B.—During the last week there has been a hostile encounter between some of our citizens and three of the military. The latter it appears were insulted, and were obliged in self defence to resort to their arms. They, however, had the worst of the fray, and were obliged to retreat, leaving their military caps, a sword, and some other articles in the hands of their assailants. Order is now restored. FROM THE GALLICIAN FRONTIRRS.—The Breslau Gazette states that the Russians are at this moment erecting a fortress . . . in the vicinity of Brady, which leads from the — village of Liurnik, and is manifestly directed towards the Austrian frontier. On the side of Austria it is in contemplation to erect a fortress at Solticze, tear Czernowitz, and several officers are going thither to examine the site which is to be selected for the fortress. MUNICH, MARCH 6.—A few days ago our populace honoured the bishops with a procession by torchlight. The King inquired whether there had been a good many torches, and on being answered in the affirmative, exclaimed, that's well, that's well ; they want light, they make darkness enough ! CASSEL, MARCH s.—ln the night of the Ist and 2d of this month, several very traitorous papers, containing threats and calumny, were affixed to the walls of the Ducal Palace and the Mass-house of the Roman Catholic Church ; and before they were discovered by the police, and taken down, many passers by read theta, and thus they became public. A death's head was on this placard, beneath it were daggers sprinkled with blood, with the inscription, "Down with the tyrant, liberty shall triumph." The vigilance of the police and gendarmes has, in consequence, been redoubled, but the per petrator has not been discovered. LEwste--The unaccountable arrangements of the heads of the University. by which the young men are to be placed under the most stringent rules, has given rise to the most painful excesses; what could not be effected by any society, any civic interest, any coercive effort, has been effected by this ordinance—harmony among the students of all classes and opinions : all hold together, a high school ; hence a regulation of this nature, which is imprac ticable and unworthy of any high school, was therefore par ticularly inapplicable here; hence it has called forth the directly opposite to what it was intended. From the date of the regulation, licentiousness indeed appeared among our students. Between two and three hundred of them now sit „together drinking till an early hour in the morning, and a co:nmand to the host to give no inure beer after ten o'clock has been rendered wholly ineffectual till the hour stipulated, and after that resort to the vessels of liquor which they had purchased before ten o'clock. The parents of these young men will hardly thank the rector of the University for his wisdom, in endeavouring by so unseasonable an effort again to make schoolboys of their sons, to ruin their health and morals, and to exceed their allowances to an enormous extent. Nightly frays with watchmen, and other scandals of a similar nature, may be in ferred, as a matter of course, and yet, notwithstanding all this forced disorder of the students, it is impossible to with hold altogether the testimony of their manly and honourable conduct. We are happy to be able to state that the building of St. Peter's Church, at Ilamburgh,hasnot been interrupted during the winter, notwithstanding the severity of the weather, and it is confidently hoped that the church will be roofed in on 'he ith of May. On this interesting occasion it is proposed that, as all the funds are exhausted, and there seems to be no immediate pro,pect of obtaining a further grant from the city, to csll upon the benevolence of the citizens, and thus to be enabled to finish this splendid undertaking. Various con tributions and subscriptions have been received towards the erection of this church, as also that of St. Nicholas.—Hum burgh Paper, March 12. EXPORTATION OF FISH. The following has been received in answer to a letter forwarded by this fi , ll markets of Yarmouth, to W. Wil shere, Esq., to procure the interference of the Govern ment to obtain, if possible, the removal of certain dit ferential duties, which restrict the consumption of her rings on the continent : " Foreign-office, March 4, 1847. " Sir,—l am direct( dby Viscount Palmerston, to acknowledge the receipt of the memorial, which you have transmitted to him from the fishing owners and fish curers of Great Yarmouth, and its vicinity, praying for his Lordship's interference with foreign Goverments on the Continent of Europe, to obtain the removal of certain differential duties which at present restrict the consumption of British cured fish, in those countries ; and lam to inform you that it belor.gs to the Board of Trade, to consider the matters treated of in the memo rial transmitted by you. and that Lord Palmerston will be happy to pay every attention to any recommends tion which he may receive from that Board, as to the best means of attaining the object sought fur by the memorialists. I am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, " H. U. ADDINGTON, " W. Wilshere, Esq., 117. P., 37, Old Bond-street." -Bury Herald. On Wednesday last a very numerous and influ , ential meeting of the shareholder's of the Royal Insurance Company was held, in Liverpool, for the purpose of stating the result of the Company's business to the end of Decem ber, 1846. Charles Turner, Esq., deputy chairman, in con sequence of the indisposition of the chairman, presided, and having briefly stated the object of the meeting, at his re quest Percy M. Dove, Esq . the manager, read the report ; by which it appeared that the same measure of prosperity still accompanies its operations, indicative of a sound and grow ing stability; and that the amount to the credit of profit and loss to the close of the Christmas quarter was no less a sum than 61,139/. Os. 4d. The aspect of the company's affairs since the accounts were closed, viz., for the two months of the present year, is likewise highly satisfactory, furnishing evidence as sure as a period so limited can give, that the amount of business to be expected during the pre sent year will much exceed that of the one now concluded. It also announces that George Armstrong, Esq., and John Torr, Esq., of the firm of J. and H. Littledale and Co., have been appointed to fill up the vacancy in the board. The result of the state of the vote on the Sabbath trains question, at the recent meeting of the shareholders of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, was officially declared by the Chairman on Monday at the adjourned meeting in Glasgow, when it was found that there was a majority of 152 in favour of the resolution of the directors to discontinue Sunday trains. Mr. M'Neill, however, has intimated that he will submit the case to another special meeting of the shareholders, and that a requisition for that purpose will be got up as soon as possible.—Edinburgh Advertiser. ACCIDENT AND DEATH FROM NEGLIGENCE.—At the York Assizes, on Monday, an action was brought by Mr. Frederick Whitehead, a manufacturer, in Saddleworth, to recover damages against the Great North of England Railway Company, for injuries which had caused the death of his wife, and put him to expenses amounting to, in the whole, 525/. Mr. Knowles, with whom were Mr. Watson and Mr. Hoggins, appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Martin and Mr. H. Hill for the company. After hearing the evi dence the jury went out for upwards of twenty minutes, and then found for the plaintiff, damages the amount of the ex penses incurred, 525/. THE LATE STEAM-SHIP COLLISION ON THE THAMES. —Yesterday the adjourned inquest on the bodies of the two men found in the schooner Rose, which was sunk by the Victoria steam-ship off Hole Haven, was resumed. 'I principal witness examined was John Church, a bargeman, of Sheerness, who saw the accident. He said the schooner wa s moored in the usu al p lace, and out of danger; and that the steamer wa s out of her course, as ships of that size never we nt so near the lan d. He said that hat t!. proper look out been kept On boar d the Victoriathe collision would have been avoided, as he saw no vessels in the way to prevent her going clear of the schooner. The inquiry was again ad journed. SCVECTED INFANTICIDES.—On Wednesday morn ing t he body of a male child was found in Brooks-street. wrarped ' up in a bundle, and on the same morning, the body of another child was discovered in a privy in Bridgewater street. The mothers have not as yet been discovered.— . Liverpoolhicd/. MUSICAL MEMORANDA. PHILIIAR3IO;iIC. — It had been arranged, previous to the rehearsal on Saturday, to commence the Philhar moniceoncert with an overture, and conclude it with symp ony ; but we believe that the plan heretofore acted upon will still be adhered to—flaydn's symphony, "La Reine de France," will open the performance ; Beethoven's symphony, No. 1 (in C), will occupy the place of honour, at the commencement of the second part ; and the same composer's " Leonora" will finish the concert. Miss Kate Loder will play a pianoforte concerto, by Weber, in the first part ; and Salmon a violin concerto by Mendelssohn, in the second. ANCIENT CONCERTS.—A second change has taken place in the arrangement of the Queen's Concerts of Ancient Music. In consequence of an expectation that the installation of his Royal Highness Prince Albert will take place at Cambridge, from the 3d to the Bth of July, the eighth Ancient Concert will not take place until the 14th of that month; and the Messiah will be performed on the 21st, so that the commencement week, &c., will be clear of any musical performance of consequence in London. - _ _ - - Madame Lecoy's concert at the Castle Assembly Rooms, Richtnopd, on Thursday evening, was extremely well attended by a highly fashionable and wilt - eel au dience. The vocalists were Caradori Allan, Madame Lecuy, and Madame F. Lablache, Signor F. Lablache, and John Parry. The Distin family performed on the Sax horns. Negri and Chaulieu conducted, and all went off excellently. SUSSEX HALL.—A concert was given on Saturday evening, which attracted about 700 persons. Several songs, duets, trios, &c., were successfully sung by Misses Poole, Isaacs, Wortham, Barwick, and Sara Flower ; Messrs. Sporle, Robinson, F. Smith, Percival, and John Parry, and the encores were numerous. Director, Mr. W. C. Percival. Conductor, Mr. F. Smith. rhe Glee Club dined on Saturday at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, when several very fine compositions in parts.were well sung; and Bishop's charming glee, •• Blow, .entle gales," was loudly encored, the upper parts being well sung by Mr. Tulle's pupils. REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE. No particular alteration has taken place in the position of the Wheat trade during the week ; the demand for France has not diminished, nor has there been any falling off in the inquiry for the article on Irish account. Meanwhile the deliveries from the farmers have become I-as liberal than heretofore ; and the consequence has been a steady and progressive rise in prices. Speculators allying fur some time past kept aloof, there has not been -my great excitement ; still the continued shipments to Ireland, and the more recent exports to France, are beginning to tell on our stocks, and from present appearances. we are inclined to think that the eranaries at the different maritime ports will be pretty well cleared before the spring shipments from the Baltic can come to hand. The arrivals from America have for several weeks been on a much more moderate scale than had been calculated on, which may, however, have been partly caused by the prevalence of easterly winds. Even at Liverpool the receipts have been moderate of late, and the quantity of Flour shipped from that port to the sister isle has exceeded the quantity received. Till within this week or two the deliveries from the growers have been liberal, but latterly a falling off has taken place in the supplies. This has no doubt bc'en partly caused by the necessity of employing all hands in the preparation of the soil; but at the same time it is fair to inter that the previously large supplies have so far thinned the stack yards as to render farmers somewhat indifferent about making further vales, more particularly as the aspect of the autumn-sown Y heat is not very favourably spoken of. The weather has certainly been very trying ; and though we do not attach much importance to the apthe - pearance of the plant at this early period, still severity of the recent frost must, to say the least, cause a backward spring, and militate against any early harvest. The most serious matter is, however, the shortness of stocks, not only in this country, but over the greater part of Europe ; and that alone will, in our opinion, prevent low or even moderate prices until another harvest shall have been secured. The Wheat trade has, as already intimated, been firm without being livel ; and the advance in quotations at the leading provincial markets held since M o nday has not been very important. Whilst the trade has remained in a comparatively quiet state at the leading consuming t owns, a good deal of excitement has pr evailed at the shipping ports on the cast coast, in consequence of the appearance of buyers from France ; and Wheat has brought nearly as high prices in Lincolnshire as it would have realised at Mark lane. Many of the large steam-mills are still employed grinding meal for Ireland; and less Flour is, therefore, being manufactured than usual.—Mark-lane Express. --- NORFOLK RAILWAY ABATTOIR.—At Trowse sta tion, an abattoir, consisting of two sets of slaughter-houses, has been built and fitted up wi th ever y accommodation and convenience for slaughtering 100 beasts and 300 sheep daily.rhe buildings and yards are enclosed within high brick walls, and the yard has been divided into compartments or pens for the beasts and sheep. Adjoining the slaughter noose there is a large tank, above a brick structure, to supply water. Close to the open end of the houses th ere i s a siding from and to the railway, on which the trucks run to be loaded with carcases. The directors intend to let both sets of slaughter-houses, either separately or together.— Yorfoik Chi °hick. PLANTING POTATOES.—The planting of potatoes :n the neighbourhood of Newlyn is now becoming very general, and the plan of first immersing the potato in a liquid compoundee of two ingredients, viz., one quart of coal-tar with five quarts of water, has been adopted by m any ; while souse few have still adhered to the old one of placing them under a good layer of common manure.—Falmouth Packet.

THE LATE WILLIAM COBBETT, M.P., in his Register for June, 1832, there depicted the suffc , ings , he had endured for 22 years, from the want of a perfect TRUSS ; and, having obta ned one from Mr. COLES, was instrumental in in , tucf ng thousands of persons of rank and fortune to apply to him for relief — whose patent has baffled every attempt to improve them fur '2l years past. *** " COLES'S PATENT, 3, CHARING-CROSS," is 'marked upon all his Trusses. COLONEL FRANCKLIN informs those who have ruptures, that he has been wearing TRUSSES 30 years, and be never met with but one individual who was master of the complaint. lle has likewise an &der brother, a Colonel in the Hon. East India Company's Service, who has worn a similar kind of truss for many years, who can say the same. Mr. COLES, of CHARING CROSS, is the individual alluded to. Blackheath Vale, July 16, 1832. The Colonel was likewise cured of Rheumatism by Mr. Coles's MEDICATED GALVANIC BANDS, and gave him an excellent testimonial to that effect. THE SOUTH DEVON LINE.—ATMOSPHERIC TRAC TION.—During the last few days various trials have been made on the South Devon line, to test the capabilities of the atmospheric mode of traction, and in every instance the result has been most satisfactory. These experiments have aroused much curiosity—indeed, the " Atmospheric" presents rather a novel appearance; and in the minds of many who have been unable to think of a train unless accompanied by a locomotive engine, with the curling mass of steam and smoke marking its progress, it has excited no little wonder and surprise. To the spectator it seems to glide on without any apparent motive power; and the speed to which it attains is already very considerable, more than a mile having been done, in some instances, in one minute. It must be recollected, however, that these experi ments are now only preparatory•, and no criterion as to what will be achieved when the extensive ma chinery is brought into good working condition. It is generally thought by scientific men that when the Atmo spheric is carried below Newton (where it is understood the pipes will be larger) a speed will be obtained, averaging eighty miles per hour. The determined perseverance of the board of di. ectors merits approbation for thus endeavouring to carry out, in spite of every difficulty, a system which in truth seems at present to comprehend what the public re quires—a mode of travelling which combines economy with velocity and safety.—Devonport Independent. REMOVAL OF THE WOOD PAVEMENT IN THE CITY. —At the meeting of the Commissioners of Sewers yesterday a motion was made that the whole of the wood pavement al present extending from Bow Church, Cheapside, to the Poultry, should be forthwith removed, and that the con tractor, Mr. Chadwick, be instructed to lay down imme diately the new three-inch granite pavement. The resolu tion was unanimously agreed to, and orders were given to the men to commence taking up the present wood pavement to-day. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH TERMINI.—At a meeting of the Commissioners of Sewers, held on Tuesday, the secretary of the Electric Telegraph Company applied for permission to lay down the wires of communication through the City, from the various electric telegraphs, to unite in one centre in Lothbury. The secretary said that the Company intended to bring the electric telegraph into the City by the way of London-bridge, King William. street, and Princes street, into Lothbury, where the terminus of the Company would be, and from thence they intend to proceed along Moorgate-street into Finsbury. The object of the Company was to bring the electric line of the South-Western and Dover Railways by the above line into the City; and from the terminus at Lothbury to unite them with the Eastern Counties, the London and Birmingham, and the Great Western lines, so as to form one general communication with the different railways throughout the kingdom. The Com pany proposed to lay down the pipes alongside of the kerb, and in a line with the gas pipes, so as to prevent any nuisance or stoppage arising to the traffic, or annoyance to the foot passengers. The question that the Company be empowered to lay down the wires of the electric telegraph was carried unanimously.

On Tuesday a Court was held for the dispatch of public business. The Loan MAYOR laid before the Court the opinion de livered by Mr. Wilde, of the Bar, on the question of the pri vileges of the Court of Aldermen, and the resolution to which that Court had come—that a committee of the Aldermen would reality meet a deputation from the Court of Com mon Council on the subject.—(hear, hear.) The Recorder was about to read the opinion of the Learned Gentleman to whom the case had been referred, when Mr. Winn rose to object to such a course as calculated to prejudice the Court of Coalmen Council. The case ought, in all fairness, to accompany their opinion.—( Hear, hear.) Alderman WlLsoar said the case certainly ought not to be made public, but both cave and opinion should be submitted to a select committee. The publication of both might pre judice the whole Corporation. Mr. ASIR:RS-I' said his reason for objecting to the reading of the opinion was, that he suspected the case had not been fully and fairly stated, and therefore the opinion could not operate as a guide or an index to public r pinion.—(Hear.) Mr. BINNOCH did not see what injury c.,uld result from a candid statement of facts, and wished that case and opinion should be read at once. It was intimated that there was no mention of the case in the communications made from the other Court. Mr. Wutt:—l have no doubt the case was drawn up in such a manner as to render the opinion of no value whatever to the Corporation.—(A laugh. ) Alderman WILSON thought it rather extraordinary that a member who could not have seen the case should at once decide upon its defects. Doctor LYNCH asked why there should be any mystery about the business. Why were not the case and the opinion at once laid before the Court? What impression was such mystery calculated to make upon the public.—(Hear, hear.) The opinion certainly ought not to be read without the case and if both were read the Court would be able to decide be tween the different opinions entertained by Mr. Wire and Alderman Wilson. Some members suggested that the case and opinion should be read within closed doors, but that suggestion was gene rally condemned, and the Court resolved to refer the opinion and question as to holding a conference with the committee of Aldermen to a committee of the whole Court. The RECORDER requested to be allowed to represent in a few words, the position in which he stood with respect to the privilezes of the corporetien, He had received Emus - the City solicitor a copy of the questions sub mitted by the committee of the whole Court for counsel's opinion. These questions appeared to him to involve matters of paramount importance connected with the ancient municipal constitution of the city of London, and were so comprehensive and at the same time so vague, that to give an opinion upon them without a case, would be a matter of insuperable difficulty. To send such questions to a professional gentleman, without accompany ing them with a case, was without a precedent in the history of legal practice. The Court might as well require from them a statement of all that had occurred from the days of Richard the First, to the days of Victoria the First.—(Hear, hear. ) He seriously advised the Court, that it would not be for the interest of the Court, that he who occasionally sat as a City Judge should be called upon to define any matter of the kind, 'and he certainly considered that opinions given upon such loose interrogations, would not be worth a single farthing. Mr. WIRE immediately moved that the Recorder be ex cused from giving answers to the questions proposed by the Court. Mr. ASHURST thought the Recorder's object was to choke off the other officers. The RECORDER said the questions had been propounded by the City Solicitor, his inferior officer. Several Members—(" No, by the Court.") Mr. ASHURST admitted that the questions had been drawn up by the City Solicitor, but that Learned Gentleman had exercised no other authority in performing that duty than he would have exercised in making the draft of a ( Hear, hear.) The RECORDER denied that it was by any means profes sional to lay questions before a barrister without a case, and said, that however such a practice might entangle the Cor poration, it certainly was not calculated to clear up any any doubt or remove any difficulties. Mr. T. H. HALL did not think the Recorder was justified in declining to answer questions which the Corporation found were necessary to be solved preparatory to the great measure of Reform. The Learned Gentleman, by such refusal da maged the cause of his clients, who had put the points in a manner best calculated, in their opinion,to suit the necessity of the case.—( Hear, hear.) The motion that the Recorder be excused from giving an swers to the question was then agreed to. The Towx CLERK wished to address a few words to the Court on the same subject. The strong feeling which he entertained on the subject was, he assured the Court, not the feeling of that day. It existed from the moment the questions bed been put into his hands. Possessed, as he was, of all the means of information in the matters pro pounded, he knew the extreme danger of answering such questions; and it was solely by his anxiety for the welfare of the Corporation he was induced to say that he could not i conscientiously enter upon so perillous a task.—( Hear, hear.) 1 If the Court required him to answer, he would, of course, comply ; but he begged that they would not call upon him, or any other officer, to do that which he was convinced would be attended with mischievous consequences. At all events, he trusted that, if they persevered in calling for the opinions of the &Keels, they would call for their conjoint opinions.—(Hear, hear, and cries of " No, no.") Nothing, he submitted, could result from the expression of different opinions but confusion. supposing that a difference of opinion existed ; and there would be no such thing as see ing to the end of the vista of discordant impediments which would necessarily obtrude themselves. Ile submitted, too, that there was no precedent for including the Town-clerk its the list of those who were engaged as the legal advisers of the Corporation.—(Hear.) Alderman lIUMPIIERY moved that the Town-clerk be ex cused from answering the questions. Mr. KING seconded the motion. Mr. L. Tayr.ou said he was decidedly of opinion that any officer who was not competent to answer the questions pro pounded was no longer fit to fill the office he held. Mr. Asiivaer said the Court had set a bad example in excusing the Recorder.—( Hear, hear.) lie altogether dis approved of the project of obtaining the conjoint opinion of the officers. The Court wished to see a final termination to the mystery in which those privileges were involved, and they had now the opportunity of getting at the truth by availing themselves of the separate opinions of those who ought to be best acquainted with their municipal constitu tion.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") It was the rule in consultations for the senior to lead all the juniors. Ile did not wish for the adoption of a point of courtesy on the im portant matter in which they were engaged. He wanted se parate independent opinions, together with the reasons for entertaining those opinions. —(Hear, hear.) Mr. Core was persuaded that -the officers would be justi fied in refusing to give their opinion upon such a question, and expressed much surprise that any one of them could be found involving his brother officers in such embarrassments. —( Murmurs of dissent.) Mr. W. JONES said the Court ought certainly to have the opinion of the Town Clerk, and represented that it would be extremely injudicious to excuse that Learned Gentleman. Mr. R. TAYLOR said the question as to the opinions of the officers of the Corporation, was as analogous to that, as the opinions of the Judges as required by the House of Lords. The Judges delivered their opinions striatnn, and what would be thought of them, if, when called upon to deliver their opinions, they said, " Oh, do not call upon us to give Hear. hear.) any opinion. It would be dangerous." --- ( be- Alderman COI'ELAND was said that when the Judges were called upon in the House of Lords, it after counsel was heard. 'There did not appear to him to be any analogy tween the cases. Mr. T. H. HALL said he did not wonder at the wish to go to Parliament entertained by several members of that Court, rt of some of when he witnessed such reluctance upon the their officers to let them know anythingmaobmopueant moment p aa r k iv at i • leges.—(Loud cries of " Hear.") the professional men, who ought to rbreheable to give them the ot their constitution necessary information , what t he nature the validity of w as, objections were immediately stair•ed, (Hear, hear.) :my one of which he could not compre What could the Court do at all under such circumstances? Mr. Goosos was decidedly in favour of ex cusing the Town Clerk, who exer cised a sound judgment objecting to answer questions, which he was convinced the bulk of his fellow-citizens would not sanction. Mr. LAWRENCE moved, as an amendment, that the Town Clerk's application be referred to a committee. The Court decided against the question that the Town Clerk be excusedOOß- , and proceeded to the orders cf the day. A P. Doctor 'Algot gave notice of a motion to petition Parlia ment to grant a poor-law to Ireland, as the only means of alleviating the dreadful distress of that unfortunate country. CORPORATiON OF LONDON REFORM. Mr. ASHUNST brought up the report of the committee of the whole Court embodying the resolutions passed on Fri day last, and c ontained in ou d r i paper of yesterday. He - i tated that the q uestion differe n principle from that on which the Lord Mayor had exercised his power in opposition to the strongly expressed feeling of the Court, and he moved the first resolution, to the effect that the Corpo ration required reform, which could only be effected by the aid of Parliament. Mr. LowataN TA Loa seconded the motion. Mr. T. 11. HALL suggested the propriety of taking the opinion of the law officers, as alluded to in the first of the questions submitted to them, before the Court agreed to the resolution. Alderman HusfrffeaY begged to be permitted to say a few words W or e the question was put. He saw by the pu biic prints that Sir Peter Laurie had said he was not sin cere in wishing to go to Parliament, and that there was not one member in the Court of Alidieoramrenwh and o a laugh.) was desirous au to appeal to the Legislature.—( ,hear, sow, the fact was that no man could be more sincere than he was in moving for the committee with the view of preparing a Bill for repealing the lt th of George the First, and at that moment the Remembrancer was engaged in drawing up a Bill to accomplish th a t o bj ect.—(Hear, h ea r.) He assured the Court that he maintained the opi n:ons which he had expressed upon that occasion, and he was ready to go with t he Court of Common Council tt•Par liamreform ent as soon as possib l e for the complete of both Courts of the Corporation.—(llear, hear.) lie entertained no fear of the annihilation of their municipal o rights n and pri vileges from an applicat ion t o P arliament. the contrary he had every reason to believe, that if the two Courts went united to the Legislature, they would obtain just the kind and degree of reform which they desired.—( Bear.) Alderman COPELAND said that, as his sincerity had also d seen called in question , he felt bound to are it was his drm ooinion that, without the interference('of Parliament, he differences between the two Courts could not be at all ac ommodated.—(Hear, hear.) Alderman WILSON said that he likewise was considered to ie insincere. He was never more surprised s than he was at o extraordinary !biding that Sir Peter Laurie had made if raordinary a statement. atement. For his part, he was determined,under any circumstances his brother Aldermen objected to an applica ion to Parliament, to go with the Court of Common Council to that authority, for he knew that their great object would not be attained without i ts a s s istance. — (Hear, hear.) Mr. ASEICT IIS T said he was glad to Bee that i e Court of Aldermen had arrived at so beneficial a change. Alderman HUMPHERY—The Remembrancer is preparing the Bill, and it will be before the committee on Saturday. Mr. AsfiuusT—That was denied flatly in the committee of the whole Court on Friday.

STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, MARCH 16. —There has been an exceedingly dull and depressed market to-day. The demand, both for goods and yarn, has been ex tremely limited, and prices are in many cases a shade lower than last week. A considerable number of mills are now entirely stopped, and very few, except those spinning fine numbers, are wi rking full time. ROCHDALE, MONDAY, MARCH 15.—There is yet no change for the better to report in the flannel market ; the demand for goods continuing limited, and prices much the same as last Monday. Wool remains firm in price, but limited in demand. HALIFAX, SATURDAY, MARCH 13.—1 n every depart ment of traae the dullni ss remains unabated; and our ece ball, to-day, presented but a gloomy appearance. Alike in yarn and manufactured goods, the same depres sio ontinues, both as regards price and demand. In deed; the situation of the spinner and the manufacturer can rcarcely be worse. There is very little doing in any kind of wool, and the prices continue to drop. LEEDS, MARCH 16.—Our market of this day does not present any new feature, and is like that of last week— without animation.—il7anchc.ter Guardian. LIGHTHOUSES. A RETURN by the Corpuraion of Trinity House of Deptford Strea,d, showing wheilier they have adopted the recommendation of the Select Committee on Lighthou-es, in the use of Cellza or Rapeseed Oil, instead of Sperm Oil, and what saving of expense has accrued therefrom ; and also whether they have made any and what reduction in the Light Dues charged by them. RAPESEED OIL. The attention of the Corporation of the Trinity House had been drawn to rapeseed oil as a substitute for sper maceti oil ; and trials of its qualities, with the object of introducing it into use at their lighthouses and light vessels, had been directed to be made prior to the sitting f the Select Committee on Lighthouses, in 1845. Suit able arrangements for the burning of this oil have since Leen made, and are continued as opportunities present themselves ; and its use will probably become general at the lighthouse and light-vessel stations in England. The quantity which was contracted for and supplied in the spring of 1846 was thirty tons, being so much, or nearly so, in diminution of the contract quantity of sperm oil; the respective contract prices being, for rapeseed oil, 3s. 9d. per imperial gallon—spermaceti oil, 6s. 4d. per im pend gallon. It must not, however, be supposed, that the whole difference in the price per imperial gallon is actually saved, because the quan'ity of rapeseed oil co isuined very considerably exceeds that of spermaceti oil, it the flame in the lamp be otaintainf:d as it should be. at the maximum of its power. The time which has elapsed since the use of this oil has been extended has not been sufficient to show conclusively what the excess of consumption will be in practice ; but the present re sults induce the expectation that it will be very consi derable, and there do not at this time appear any certain grounds for supposing that the difference can be mate rially reduced. In the autumn of 1845, the Board referred the in vestigation of the power and qualities of the light pro duced from the combustion of this description of oil to Professor Faraday ; and the following valuable and interesting observations, having reference to the question of consumption, are extracted from his consequent report, dated the 91h of October of that year, viz.:— [Here follows a scientific disquisition of the compara tive merits, tested by experience, on the consumption, within a given time, of rape and sperm oils.] LIGHT DUTIES. The Corporation of Trinity House have not reduced their light duties since the report of the Select Committee of the Honourable the House of Commons on Light houses of 1845. The subject has, nevertheless, received due attention on their part ; and although they are per susded that the expectation that relief would be afforded to the shipowner by the reduction of those dues would not be realised, the Elder Brethren admit the principle, that it is desirable that the charges on shipping should not be unnecessarily large; and they trust that the state of the Corporation's finances will justify them in submit ting propositions for the reduction or modification of their lig c ht ou ar n id cil, buoyage nthe c d o u u e rs s, e f : J rthe h p sanction y e of her Majesty in HERBERT, Secretary. House, London, Jan. 26, 1847. Trinit, MR. ADAMS, THE ASTRONOMER. The traveller who has come into Cornwall by the north road mast re member a long moorland tract between Launceston and Bodmin. If his journey was performed on the roof of the coach, against a sleety, biting south-wester, his memory will not need any refresher. The recollections of such an excur sion are not to be effaced even by the consolations of the Jamaica Inn. A more desolate spot can scarcely be found. Yet nature sometimes grows men where she grows nothing else; and on this bleak moor she has produced at least one such man as, with all her tropical magnificence, she never produced within ten degrees of the equator. A few years ago a small farmer, named Adams, resident on the moor, had a boy, if we are correctly informed, who dis appointed his father's hopes of making a goo d agriculturist of him. His fits of abstraction and dreamy reverie were held to be very unpropi t ious. He somehow got a taste for mathematics, and m t l l l l passion so grew upon him that he was at length abandoned to its impulses, and allowed to take hi' own way, in de spair of a better. It was clear that hel\ i 't , d_n t e h v a e t r t p h i e ck lo u t il d prizes at a ploughing match or a cattle. of the manor or 'squire of the parish would never have to stand up and make a solemn oration over him, showi ng hi nt to wondering spectators as th e man w ho had improved the breed of rams or fattened bullo cks to a distressi ng o b es ity. Yet as the path to such fam e was closed, th ere were s till smallsome a he ht St. John ' s honours awaiting aw n aitin him. After a sc h oo l t ra i n i n g, entered raduatesliip College, he Cambridge , became seni where senior ,ran at gle h r e end of his unde rg. He is now one o f the mat hematical tutors at that college, and the iagridiscoverer ati, i o (Rhone), o f the planet Neptune.—West Briton. AM. a wealthy manufacturer of Tarare has given orders to a house at Marseilles to lay out 50,000 in the purchase of corn, which is to be sold to the poor of Tarare at cost price. In the meantime, he sends weekly to Lyons fur 2,000 kilogrammes of corn, which he sells in like manner at prime cost, without any additional charge fur the carriage.

Surely in a case like this, where lives of millions are at stake, a standing order might have been suspended. The meeting was most numerous (upwards of four hundred), and success was cer tain. We presume it will be brought under consideration at the nest Grand Lodge. Ba a l. ,70‘ insi!,„ l" cst.'
