fli f ' t 44 1 lk 4 '' "... -; • - miedatered within the walls of the hospital, with its limited means, you have not less than 17,823 persons receiving from this institution during the past ear an alleviation of their sufferings. — (Lou d cheers. ) There were not less than 450 cases in which poor mar ried women, unable, from their own earnings, to procure relief during their confinement, had a mitigation of their ufferings through the intervention of the officers of this institution.—(Cheers.) Such is the extent of good which has been done by the hospital in connexion with King's College; and that is good against which no pos sibility of objection can be raised.—(Cheers.) There are cases of benevolence and charity where, however unquestionable your motives, it is possible You may be relaxing exertion and engendering habits of dependence on external assistance; but here there is no possibility of objection on any such ground to the exercise of your charity.— (Cheers.) Here are cases of actual suffering in which human misery was mitigated, in which no habits of self-dependence were relaxed, no motives to continuous exertion interfered with.—(Cheers.) You will, therefore, bear in mind that every contribution which you may make towards the funds of this society will not oaly lessen the sum of human misery, not only mitigate the severe suffering of thousands of your fel low -creatures, but that to your charity for that purpose no legitimate objection can be made.—(Cheers.) Such is one of the objects, the immediate mitigation of suffer ing, fer which this institution is intended; but it has another object, and an equally important one, in view. It constitutes a school where knowledge of the human frame can be acquired—where there can be a close observation of the appearances and progress of disease. You not only, therefore, by contributing towards the funds of this society, are mitigating present suffer ing, but you are providing means by which, in this densely crowded metropolis, the powers of future miti gation shall be applied.—(Cheers). You are training up those who, to the coming generation, shall be enabled to administer assistance and relief.—(Cheers). And, if you want any other motive for contributing liberally, you have it in this, that you are contributing towards an institution which recognises the great truths of re vealed religion, and is intimately connected with the Es tablished Church.—(Loud cheers.) Within the walls of this hospital those who receive relief are called upon to offer their acknowledgments to the Auther of their being.—(Cheers). Those who are entering into the school, enter it under a deep sense of religious duty ; and there is every opportunity afforded to them of being impressed with the sanctions and obligations of religion. While they are: contemplating the human frame they are called upon to recognise, in the admitted fact that we are " fearfully and wonderfully made," a new obliga tion to reverence the omniscience and benevolence of the Deity ; but, above all, in the wonderful constitution of bile human frame, and the marvellous connexion between its material and spiritual part, to discover additional evidence, not merely of Natural Religion, but of that re vealed truth which it is the object of our Church to teach and propagate.—(Cheers.) I call upon you, then, not merely as friends of humanity, but as friends of the Esta blished Church, as friends of religion, desirous of promot ing the connexion between medical science and that form of religious faith we profess—by all these motives I implore you to mark your sense of the im portance of this institution by a liberal contribution this night.—(Cheers.) It is possible that before you entered these walls you may have made up your minds to the subscription of some particular sum. It is just possible that the stewards may have already recorded particular amounts in their subscription papers ; but let me make to you the consolatory announcement that there is a locus prenitentia.—(Loud cheers.) You are in no degree bound or concluded by any communication you may have made to those respectable gentlemen—(Cheers)— and if you are deeply convinced, as I am , o f t h e trut h I am about to state, that if he who made up his mind to give 5/. will give 10/., and he who made up his mind to give 20/. will give 50/., and he who purposed giving 50/. will give 100 L, I venture to say you will not only pro portionately mitigate the sum of human suffering, but my firm conviction is, you will thereby add to your own enjoyment; you will reflect with pleasure that you had made a convivial meeting anciliary to the purposes of charity; you will never see or hear of the King's College Hospital without reflecting with pride that you had by your liberal contributions of this night rescued it from the difficulties in which it is placed from deficient means, contributed to its prosperity, and, through its pros perity, enabled it not only to diminish present suffering, but to train up in the school of science, and not only of science, but of religion and virtue, members of that noble profession—for noble the medical profession is in all its branches—having for its immediate object the alleviation of those grievous sufferings which are the lot of ou r common humanity. I giv e "Prosperity to the King's e College - (Loudcheers.) The Duke of ST. ALnalis proposed " The health of Sir Robert Peel, and thanks for his presidency on this occasion." The toast was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm. Sir R. PEEL, in returning thanks, said—l wish very briefly, but with the utmost sincerity, to return you my warmest acknowledgments for the very flattering man ner in which, on the proposal of the Noble Duke on my right, you have had the goodness to receive my health. I attended the first meeting which was held for the estab lishment of King's College—(Cheers)—and, although the very important occupations in which for some years past I have been engaged have prevented me from giving ♦ery close attention to the concerns of that institution, yet I have always felt the deepest interest in its welfare, and it is because I felt assured it was one effectual mode of promoting its welfare to see it connected with one of the best regulated medical schools of the metropolis that I have been induced to appear before you this evening; though I must say the gratification I have had in meet ing so very respectable a body of my fellow-subjects in this ancient hall has been far more than a sufficient re muneration to me for any sacrifice I have made to be present.—(Loud cheers.) The Bight Hon. BARONET then proposed the Trea surer, Mr. Alderman Cupelazd's, health, wilich was drunk amidst loud cheers. Mr. Alderman COPELAND briefly acknowledged the compliment, and read a list of subscriptions, which were announced to amount to the large sum of nearly 1,700/.; the chairman contributing 1001. The following toasts were then drunk in rotation: — "Mr. Green and the Council of King's College" (acknowledged by Professor Green) ; " The Principal and Professors of King's College " (acknowledged by the Rev. Dr. Jelf); " The Master, Wardens, and Court of Assistants of the Worshipful Company of Stationers, and thanks to them for the use of their Hall ;" " Sir W. Riddell and the Committee of Management;" " The Medical Officers of the Hospital;" " The Clergy who have advocated the cause, and the Incumbents who have lent their churches for collections in behalf of' the hos pital;" and " Mr. Twining and the Stewards." The company did not separate till near midnight. COURT CIRCULAR.

So repeatedly has the motion of the Hon. Member for Montrose been postponed, in reference to British intervention in the political affairs of Portugal, that public anxiety has been singularly increased instead of diminished. Operations have already commenced, or, to speak more definitely, instructions have long since been transmitted from the Admiralty to Sir WILLIAM PARKER, empowering him to place the squadron under his command at the disposal of the Government of Queen MARIA DA GLORIA, and as yet the representative legislators have pronounced no opinion whatever upon the important question, whe ther it be advisable or not for England to bring matters to a conclusion by an armed intervention. The interest attached to the subject thus directly hastened before the consideration of Parliament by Mr. HumE, has, from its extraordinary character, shown, for at least the nine-hundred-and-ninety-ninth time, the neces sity for the most expeditious passage of state docu ments through the hands of the Parliamentary prin ters. Postponement after postponement of the expected discussion in the House of Com mons has driven the attention of the com munity to the very acme of expectation, and has tended in a considerable degree to impart an appearance of mystery to those ministerial arrange ments which have, we believe, been characterised throughout by the most perfect good faith and sim plicity of intention. Our opinions upon the disastrous disturbances in the Peninsula have been so frequently expressed that any explicit repetition of them here would be super fluous. The faithlessness of the reigning SOVEREIGN is beyond all contradiction, and it is equally undeni able, that if ever a people were justified in demanding the fulfilment of the coronation oath, the inhabitants of Portugal have been so justified. To gainsay either of these assertions were to proclaim the patriotism of the CABRALS and the generous policy of DIETZ. Beyond this it is notorious that throughout the civil war among the Portuguese cruelties have been per petrated by only one portion of the belligerents, that portion being the military force of the Royalists. As proofs that we are guilty of no exaggeration in this statement we refer to the unconditional expatria tion of the prisoners taken when the insurgents were discomfited, and also to the villanous practices which have recently attached such an infamous celebrity to Torres Vedras. To say that the interference of the allied Sove reigns was absolutely imperative from the clauses contained in the Quadruple Alliance were a wilful distortion of that solemn compact. had the Junta in any manner advocated the claims of Dorn AIiGuEL, had the Count Das ANTAS revealed an ambi tion on his part to transform his sword, by a species of military legerdemain, into a sceptre, had the insurgent captain SA DA BANDEIRA indicated any intention to destroy the " baubles" of monarchical government, and establish a pet system of republican ism in its stead—then, but certainly not otherwise, might the armed interference of England, Prance, and Spain have been imperatively demanded by MARIA DA GLORIA, in accordance with the letter of the provisions contained in the articles of the Qua druple Alliance. But the Junta of Oporto did none of these things : it emphatically denied any ulterior views derogatory to the royal authority of the QUEEN Regnant, it repudiated the supposition that its arma ments were raised for the furtherance of the claims of Dom MIGUEL ; its Comms.nder•in-Chief, the Count DAS ANTAS, expressed to our Plenipotentiary, Colonel WYLDE, every readiness to accede to the proposition forwarded for his acceptance by Lord PALMERSTON, on the understanding that the other consenting party in the arrangement, MARIA DA GLORIA, would give some reasonable guarantee that her engagements should be strictly fulfilled. Was this an extravagant demand on the part of the Pro visional Junta and its leader ? Assuredly not. As suredly it was not extravagant for the representatives of a nation to require some definite assurance that a monarch, who had so continually acted with duplicity and perfidy, would for once adhere to the conditions of their reconciliation. Assuredly it was not extra vagant for those who had with comparatively little bloodshed, and certainly with the commission of not one heinous act of inhumanity, subjugated the whole of a considerable kingdom, with the exception of the capital and its suburbs, to require, before the deliver ing up of the conquered provinces, a hostage, as it were, that their rational demands would in the end be satisfied. There was nothing, we maintain, extrava gant in the simple conditional acquiescence pronounced by the Oporto Junta and its mouthpiece, DAS ANTAS, in the proposals delivered to them by Colonel WYLDE. So much, therefore, as to the propriety of regard ing the popular movement in Portugal as a movement necessitating either the armed interposition of adjacent Governments or the rupture of the Quadruple Alliance. That movement on the part of the Portuguese popu lation had proved itself to be no petty and provincial revolt, but the unanimous outburst of a whole nation for the realisation of its liberties and the maintenance of its constitutional rights. The disturbance was not a local revolt, but a comprehensive and—it must be acknowledged—a moderate revolution. It has, nevertheless, been deemed advisable by the English Government to - hasten the reconciliation between Queen MARIA DA GLORIA and her people, by authorising Admiral PARKER to co-operate with the land forces of her Portuguese MAJESTY. In arriving at this decision our rulers have, w are satisfied, been impelled by no rash affection for the employment of physical force in preference to moral force : they regard the misunderstanding, we doubt not, between the SOVEREIGN of Portugal and the people of Portugal in somewhat the same light as ri e do ourselves; but they regard an armed intervention as about the speediest means of arriving at the desired termination to so many difficulties. On Friday evening, however, the country will, we trust, be in possession of the precise views entertained by her MAJESTY'S advisers upon a matter which musi arouse the anxiety of all those who cant spri pathise with a race struggling for their political liberation. Coupled with the intelligence received since the commencement of this article, that the Count DAs ANTAS has been captured, together with two thousand men, and all the property of the Provisional Junta of Oporto, the anticipated discus sion upon Mr. llumE's inquiry must be considered as one of the most important since the opening of the present session. Sir ROBERT PEEL presided yesterday at the eighth anniversary festival held in aid of the funds of the King's College Hospital. One would have supposed that the theme of the Right Hon. Baronet's speech presented no very striking materials for engaging the interest of either his auditory, or the country, when the purport of his remarks became publicly known. Yet it is peculiar to some minds to invest the most ordinary topics with sentiments that kindle the best feelings of our nature, even when this result is the least anticipated. It is this aptitude that attests to the range and philosophical acquirements of the speaker's mind. He views his subject in all its ri?la tions, direct and indirect, as they affect society at large, and frequently, by the original turn of his in tellect, succeeds in placing it in a new light which recommends it more favourably than ever to the at tention of his country. Expatiating upon the cause of ,benevolence and charity, as connected with the maintenance of institutions for giving relief in cases of disease and accident, and alluding to the vast amount of good that has been and is being daily ac complished through their instrumentality, Sir ROBERT PEEL proceeded to notice, that in exhibiting the ki n dli ness o f our na ture towards the m a i me d an d s i c k o f our poorer b re th re n, by voluntarily contributing to the support of public • A _ " MOS ) ;100 - 7, Is. receptacles fur the alleviation and cure of their suffer ings and infirmities, we were pursuing a course " against which no possibility of objection could be raised. There are cases of benevolence and charity where, however unquestionable the motives, it is possible we may be relaxing exertion and engendering habits of dependence on external assistance ; but here there is no possibility of objection Oil any such ground to the exercise of our charity !" And yet, strange as it may seem, that form of charity which, as the ex-Premier has noticed, i s f ree f rom all possible objeckn, in which human misery is mitigated, halnts of self-dependence not relaxed, nor motives to continuous exertion interfered with, has been the most neglected in this mighty metropolis. Excluding those districts of the metropolis which do not return Members to Parlia ment, it appears we have a population of 1,500,000 souls to deal with, but for whose care and treatment, in the hour of danger and physical suffering, we have not more than ten hospitals for general purposes ; and it further appears (which is the greatest reproach to us) that seven out of these ten were established one hundred years ago; and not merely this, but that the three additional ones, which are all that have been erected within a century, notwithstanding the pro digious increase in our population and public wealth, are greatly inferior in accommodation and other re spects to those which our ancestors had so muni ficently reared. It is thus manifest that the affluent have shamefully neglected an important moral obliga tion. The English are renowned for their benevolent disposition, but not unfrequently there is a morbid taste for ostentatious charity, oftentimes inducing parties to give donaions for objects which are not un exceptionable, instead of to those, which, though not novel in their principle, are the most laudable that can be encouraged. Madrid papers of the 3d have arrived. Monsiegnor BRUNELLI, the Ambassador from the POPE, had been admitted to a private audience with the QUEEN on the evening preceding. The KING CONSORT has, it is said, determined to fix on Valla dolid as his place, of residence for the future. At present he continues at the Prado. The 3d being the feast of Corpus Christi, the Bolsa was closed. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. They all comment on the discussion which took place on Monday, in the Chamber of Deputies, on the subject of Algeria. In the course of the discus.. sion, it was admitted, that to keep possession of Algeria, under the present system, the presence of an army of at least 100,000 men would be always re quired in the colony. On this subject, the Journal des Debars says.— " Can hopes be entertained of one day reducing the number of troops ? We must not deceive ourselves ; that cannot take place within a short period. M. de Chasseloup-Laubat reckons a good deal on the increased number of roads; we think with the report, that the art of the conquerors is less easy; however, roads are in fact instruments of domination and conquest, the influence of which is proved by the history of all countries. The report considers that a diminution of the army in Algeria is, above all, to be looked fur in a go o d government of the Arab people. We see it, for our parts, principally in coloniza tion, and, in consequence, we consider it most urgent to advance that measure. The government of the Arabs has been treated pretty fully in the report, and was alluded to yesterday in the discussion. It appears to us that it is perhaps the point calling least for remark. The government such as it is, such as it has been established by Marshal Bugeaud, with the traditions of justice and kind feeling for the vanquished people which he has bequeathed to his ge nerals and the Arab bureux, constitutes the solution of the question. We may add that this system of government has not called forth any condemnatory remark either in the re port or during the discussion. Since we have spoken of co lonization, we shall say two words on the subject, although we should have preferred to reserve this subject for another day. We have been in Africa seventeen years, and there are computed to be there a European population of 100,000. How many real colonists are there amongst them? We dare not say. The European population does not manifest such an eagerness to proceed to Africa that we can afford to raise up difficulties and choose. What, however, do some members of the Chamber desire? To establish cate gories—to exclude some and then others; some because they are rich and will not consent to spend their life in a farm of the Mitidja ; others because they are poor. Is it not one hundred times more sensible to throw the doors wide open to every one ?" The Presse has the following observations : "The possession of Algeria will depend upon ourselves, to be either a good or a bad a flair for France; it will be good if wisely conducted, that is if it be made, like Corsica, an an nexation, an extension of the territory of France; if it be peopled with French citizens as firmly attached to the go vernmental unity as are the French of Alsace or Franche Conte; if, in a word, it be divided into French departments in every respect similar to those of France. The possession of Algeria will be a sad thing to France, if it continues to devour its finances and the elite of its population ; if we per sist in maintaining 100,000 men for keeping in check an enemy whose arrival in Algeria the Monileur Algerien an nounced (falsely, by the way), in these t erms: The Emir Abd-el-Kader has just re-appeared in the south of Sebdon, with considerable forces, consisting of 400 horsemen, anti from 400 to 500 infantry.' This possession will be bad and onerous as long as the Chambers shall permit France to be made ridiculous by so disproportionate a struggle, by the employment of the club of Hercules to strike an enemy so feeble." The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies ap pointed to consider the affair of N. EMILE DE GIRAR DIN met on Tuesday. M. DE GIRARDIN appeared before it, and entered into explanations respecting the facts which had induced him to publish the in criminating article, and, on retiring, deposited on the table a declaration, which was to be annexed to the report. The Committee adjourned at three o'clock, and was to assemble again on Wednesday. It is said that M. DE GIRARDIN is fully prepared to prove his case. In the sitting of the Chamber on Tuesday the Minister of Public Works presented three railroad Bills. One was relative to the Montereau and Troyes line ; the second, to that of the Dieppe and Fecamp, prolonging the delay necessary for its execution, and authorising the company to construct the branch with only one line of rails ; and the third, referred to the Versailles and Chartres road, and to the loan to be made to the left bank (Versailles Company). It was currently reported in the Chamber, that the Ministry had received a telegraphic dispatch, an nouncing the submission of the Junta of Oporto. On this subject the Union Monarchique says :- "It was yesterday stated in the Chamber of Deputies that a telegraphic dispatch had reached Paris in the morning, an nouncing that the Junta of Oporto had made its complete submission before the ultimatum laid down by the three Commissioners of the Governments of France, England, and Spain. We endeavoured, as far as possible, to ascertain the source of this rumour, and we can announce in an almost positive manner, that very important news from Portugal were really received yesterday by the French Government; but it does not go beyond signalising a very marked pro gress towards the issue of the negotiations opened to bring about, either by persuasion or force, the end of the state of crisis in which Portugal now is. In any case, the rumour spread in the Chamber was only premature, for every thing concurs in causing it to be believed that it cannot be long 17 before it becomes a certainty. The French Government have determined to dis patch four ships of war to the Tagus, under the com mand of a Rear-Admiral. They will have orders to co-operate with the English fleet. The Flotle publishes a letter from an officer on hoard the Voltigeur, dated Pondicherry, April 19, in which, in giving an account of the accident to the Belle Poule frigate, in the hurricane in which she was caught at the beginning of December, it alludes to the probable fate of the Berceau:- " The Belle Piaile was laid on her beam-ends for two hours without 1)64; able to right herself. Her officers deli berated upon the necessity of cutting away the mizenmast The foremast w as spl i t, the topmast was c arried away , t h e hull was dam age d , and the boats was h e d off by th e sea .

CITY QUARTER TO THREE. _ _ , The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was flat again, and the decline on American, comp..red with Friday last, is d. per lb. Sales 3,000 to 4,000 bales, of which 2,500 were American, at 6 1 / 2 d. to 7 1 Ad. per lb.; Surat was at 4d. to 4J/0. per lb.; and Bahia at 7' Ad. to 7 1 /d. Railway Shares were firm, but with very little doing. Accounts of February 13 from Melbourne, Port Phillip, state that the whole district was suffering from the scarcity of labourers, and that as there was a surplus from the land fund, and the squatter's tax, it was hoped that the whole amount would be appropriated to the promotion of immigra tion into Port Phillip exclusively, leaving the other settle ments to procure labour from their own resources and revenue. The news received from the West Indies, and given in another column, our own accounts not having reached as yet, are satisfactory, as respects the various islands, but from Mexico we are still without any news of a conclusive nature, and the war promises to become now of a predatory cha racter before it concludes. The Public Securities were rather tending upwards early in the day, but have since declined. Consols have realiied 88 to 'A for present transfer, and 88 1 4 to for account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 88% to 44, and the Three per Cents. 867,1 3 to 87. Bank Stock is quoted 194 1 ,4 to 196. Exchequer-bills have been marked 3s. to 6s. premium. The Foreign Securities have been steady, but with very limited transactions. The news received by telegraph of the capture of Das Antas has made Portuguese Stock rather better, viz., 30 to 3014. Brazilian Five per Cents. have been at 83 1 ,x. Mexican Stock is worth 20%. In Railway Shares the bib.i,:ess done has been moderate. The recommendetion of the Parliamentary Committee to allow the companies prosecuting Bills this session to suspend their works if they so think fit, seems generally to be ap proved, and it is hoped that but few companies will neglect to avail themselves thereof.

The Dee, Royal Mail steam-steam-ship, Captain Wil liam Allan, arrived this morning at five o'clock, with the usual Mexican and West Indian mails. The Dee has brought home an exceedingly rich and valuable freight, consisting of 107,096 dollars from the various ports of the Main; 2561. 6s. in British coin; 1081bs. 10 oz. of platina ; 1,003 serons of cochineal ; two packages of pearls; 5541b5. 5 oz. of silver; 6,0641b5. 5 oz. in silver bars; 114 boxes of cigars; 117 ditto of pine-apples—the first importation this season; and 99 packages of sundries; besides the large number of 106 passengers. The latest dates brought by the Dee are—Tampico, 22d of April; Vera Cruz, 3d of May; Havannah, 11th of May ; Honduras, 25th of April ; Chagre3, 22d of April; Jamaica, 9th of May; Carthagena, 24th of April; Demerara, sth May ; Trinidad, 7th May ; Barbadoes, 9th May; Grenada, 11th May; St. Thomas's, 18th May; La Guayra, 7th May; and Bermuda, 24th May. The Dee has experienced some rough weather. She was to have left Vera Cruz on the 2d ult., but just as she had unmoored, and got ready for sea, a heavy " norther" set in, which detained her until eight a.m. of the 3d. The intelligence from the West India islands is un important. MEXICO. Tho news from the seat of war is of no great moment. There were still several Mexican officers detained in the Castle of St. Juan de Ulloa ; in every respect the city was quiet, and had assumed the appearance of peace. The Americans were beginning to feel the effects of the climate severely, the hospitals being nearly full of in valids, and several deaths had taken place from sickness, and not in any way connected with the late engagement. This circumstance was, however, kept very quiet, as its publication only tended to diaourage the American array. The last accounts received of General Scott were, that he was still progressing towards M• fie hai reached Peratta, and ,vas to leave that of April. On the news reaching Mexico of the late battle at Cerro Gordo and Santa Anna', flight, D. Pedro Ananga was appointed Presid:.nt, with unlimited power for everything, with the exception of listening to any over tures of peace from the Americans, as they were deter mined to defend the city to the last. Canalizo, or D. Juan Alvanez, was to be Commander-in-Chief; and the seat of government removed to the interior (Celaya). Santa Anna was at Oriata, raising 1,500 troops fur a guerilla war, and several attacks had been made on the convoy of provisions from Vera Cruz to the army, but without any success. It was reported that the Ameri cans were getting tired of the war, and that the vo lunteers were leaving them, their time being up.— , Herald. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)

Lord DF.NMAN gave judgment in this 0i92, It was an ac tion brought by Mr. Thomas against the delmdant, in order to ascertain the right of sporting over a certain manor. The verdict was for the ph.intitf, and subsequ,ntly a rule was al lowed by the defendant fur an arrest of judgment. The COURT, this morning, ordered the rule to be dis charged. The point turned upon certain specific coccuants in the lease of the defendant, which were wholly of a technical nature. No other case possessing a feature of interest occurred during the course of the day. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice WionTmAx.) ArOf.TYN V. HALFORD. This was an application fora certiorari to bring up an in dictment against a process served for perjury. It appeared that the applicant was defendant in an action which had been commenced in Yorkshire, for having falsely sworn that he had served Mostyn, a farmer, with a proc( si of one of the superior Courts. The affidavits went on to state that appli, cant, in consequence of his office, was exposed to a great deal of ill feeling, and therefore feared that be had nut had a fair trial.—Application granted. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BuRCHELL.) ATKINSON V. OXLEY. The plaintiff in this action is an attorney in Carey-street. and the defendant a farmer in Mayfield, Sussex. The claim was for 18i. Bs., the balance of a bill of costs. Mr. BAYLEY • who appeared for the plaintiff, called a young man, named Johnson, who had formerly been a clerk to the plaintiff, and who proved that he knew of most of the work having been done, and that the other portions were also legal The costs had been taxed by the Master at 18!. Bs. beyond a sum of 71. 10s. Id. paid to the plaintiff. The witness, in cross-examination, said he did not know who was the agent who had been employed in the country. Mr. BATLEY then put in an office copy of an affidavit sworn to by the defendant, in which he stated that he had given instructions to Mr. Atkinson (the plaintiff), his attor ney, and also submitted that, under the 6 and 7 Vic., c. 73, in which it was enacted that the allocater of the Master as to the amount of costs on taxation should be final. Mr. Cum - mot - A( then addressed the jury, and said that he should be able, no doubt, to show that the defendant in fact had never employed the plaintiff, but that he was retained by a person named Beams, who would be called as a witness, and who had bought the debt of 14L of defendant for 91., although the action was brought in thandant's name. Mr. Beams, formerly bailiff of the County Court at May field, and now clerk to an attorney, was called, and proved that he was formerly a debt collector. Defen.lant put some debts into his hands to collect, and it being necessary to em ploy an attorney, he told defendant that if the latter would ake 91. for the debt, if recovered, he witness would pay the costs. L was a" no cure no pay" affair. The writ and pro ceedings were sent to him to serve, and he was paid. He did ❑ot tell ilaintiff the terms. Mr. BAYLEY" contended that no arrangement between de fendant aid Beams could affect plaintiff unless he was made acquainted with the terms. 'llia UNDER-SHERIFF was of the same opinion, and said chat i❑ the affidavit the defendant admitted plaintiff was his ittorney. The Jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. MARLB . RO'-STREET- 7 -(THIS DAY.) James Williams was placed before Mr. Bingham, charged with being found in the shop of Mr. Tyas, draper, No. 7, Charles-street, Soho, ivy' the intention of committing a felony. It appeared that the prisoner was observed by complain inta son, who was at the door of a neighbour's house appo ,:te, to be walking backwards and forwards, casting very sly glances into the shop. Thinking scinething was wrong, he secreted himself behind a door, and watched the prisoner for nearly ten minutes. 'the prisoner, finding there was not any person visible in complainant's shop, stule in, and was in the act of taking a bundle of nankins when complainant's son moved from his place of concealment, and caught him just as he was depositing it in a capacious bag. The prisoner was detained till the arrival of a constable, into whose charge he was consigned. The prisoner, who gave a very unsatisfactory account of the transaction, was remanded till Monday next. Henry Carroll, the particulars of whoa former examina tion appeared in this journal on the Bth instant, was placed at the bar for final examination, charged with stealing a quantity of linen, the property of Madame Le Romberg, 27, Audley •street. It will be recollected that the prisoner was remanded, in order to procure the attendance of a female of the name of Webber, to whom the prisoner offered the linen for sale. This witness stated that about the middle of October last the pri soner, accompanied by a female, came to her house, 29, New. ton-road, Weatbourne•grove, and producing two large bundles of linen, wished her to purchase them. She declined doing so, but eventually lent him 305., upon his consenting to leave the linen as a security. The female (who is the prin cipal witness against the prisoner) said that she was a Jewess, and that the property was hers. The linen was taken away by the prisoner ten days afterwards. The prisoner, who declined making any defence, was fully committed for trial. WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Thomas Ti ingsey was charged with creating a disturbance in the waiting-room of the above court, and with violently assaulting the police. It appeared from the evidence of police-constable 120 N, the wile of the prisoner was yesterday brought to this office on the eharge of feloniously stealing a watch and a pair of boots. The prosecutor however not appearing she was:dis charged. About four o'clock the prisoner returned to the office waiting-room, where he created a great disturbance, and addressing the constables, exclaimed to them " I did the dodge, and succeeded, so well that my wife and her companion was discharged, notwithstand ing you did all you could against t hem ; they and I hocussed the fellow." The constable afterwards found out that the prisoner had managed to get the prosecutor in a gia shop, and made him drunk. He was seen pouring the gin down the prosecutor's throat. Thus it was that prosecutor became unable to attend. The prisoner was takcn from the office waiting-room to the station-house, but it took four police-constables to carry him thither, and on his way he managed to inflict upon some of them severe bruises. Mr. BnotTairros said that it might possibly be very well for him to endeavour to get his wife out of a scrape, but his own bad conduct he could not look over. He was fined 10 S., or ten days' imprisonment. The prisoner was locked up in derault. CLERKEN WELL.--(T HIS DAY.) A charge of a trifling character w as p re f erre d b y police constable 113 S, and while the oath was being administered to him his manner displayed much levity. Mr. Coster:, the presiding magistrate, having observed it, eiimmented strongly upon the manlier in which oaths some times were taken in the Police-court. It was the duty of constables to attend more than they did to the solemn aili 4ation under which they were placing themselves when being sworn. The worthy Magistrate then said, addressing the inspector on duty, that he thought (me of the most im portant features in the instruction of constables when enter ing the force should be to impress upon tihir minds the ne cessity of a due and decorous attention and respect when taking an oath. While Mr. Combe was making these observations, the constable remained in the witness-box, pale as death, and in a state of the greatest agitation, and at length, after a short convulsive struggle, fell backwards cut of the witness-box, apparently quite lifeless, his head striking violently the wainscoting of the wall behind the box. He was imr.ne• diately carried out of court by the attendants, when medical assistance was procured, and he in some degree recovered his consciousness, but upon being again brought into court was quite unable to give his evidence, and he was therefore removed to his residence under medical treatment. THAMES.-7(THIS DAY.), I Margaret Makony was charged on suspicion of having robbed Mr. James Inwood, proprietor of the City of Carlisle Tavern, Rosemary-lane, of thirty-four sovereigns and 10s. in silver. Mr. Inwood stated, that in addition to the City of Carlisle he has another house over the water, at Lambeth, which is managed by his sister. On Saturday night, a little before twelve o'clock, he placed the bag of sovereigns and the sliver in his desk as usual, and carefully locked it. lie then went to his other house at Lambeth, and returned about one o'clock on the Sunday morning. He had no occ as i on to go to his desk till about four o'clock in the afternoon, when to hi s surprise he found that the lock had been forced, and the money abstracted. The prisoner was the only pers;n in the house, with the exception of the party who had charge of it after he left on Saturday night. The key was not out of his possession from the time he left. Sergeant Eve, 11 14, deposed that ha had ascertained that the night afther the robbery the prisoner had given a sovereign to another landlord in Rosemary -lane to keep for her. On Tuesday she was brought to this court, charged with being drunk and disorderly, when she handedae n another s overign to the inspector; and last night she gave sovereign to the same publican to whom she had previously given one. The prisoner was a very poor woman, and had no ostensible means of procuring the three sovereigns. Some friend of hers lodged in the City of Carlisle, and their room door communicated with the bar parlour. The prisoner, who was a constant visitor, had an opportunity of knowing theprisonerevidence.till w here the money was deposit e d. Mr. BALLANTINE said he should remand Tuesday next, in order to g i ve time to perfect ••••=1.5•01•063!..g..-- ------ ----- SHIP LETTER-BAG TO NEW YORK.—A ship letter bag for New York will be made up in the evening of the 14th inst., to be forwarded by the Sarah Sands steamer from Liverpool on the 15th inst.

(THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair to-dayat Twelve o'clot k. RAILWAY RESOLUTIONS. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER, the adjourned debats on the railway reso lutions was proceeded with. The SPEAKER having put the first resolution, which was to the followino•effect:—" That the promoters of all Railway Bills in the present session of Parliament shall be empowered on the second reading, or on the comple• tion of any subsequent stage of any such Bill, to susp end any further proceeding in the present session, with the option, under the following conditions, of proceeding with the same Bill in the next session of Parliament, at the stage , where the Bill shall be now suspended," Mr. HODGSON moved as an amendment to insert " or where the Bill shall have been referred to a Com mittee, hat the case of the promoters shall not have been opener:." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER bad no objection to the amendment, and it was consequently agreed to. Colonel T. WOOD wished to know why these relic ) " lutions should not be imperative upon all railways? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ou served that he had stated yesterday t h e grounds ,upon which he thought the adoption of such a course inev pedient. The resolution was then agreed to with the amend ments proposed by Mr. It. Hodgson. The following Col:miaow: were also agr eed to, with few verbal amendments:— " The promoters of such Bills are to or Private Bill-office, on or before the 18th day ofJun e ; the Bill shall be in Committee, then within six days of the report of the Committee, of their intention to suspend any give notice in the proceedings thereon, on the completion of some sub further sequent stage of the Bill. " The promoters of such Bills are to give notice by adver tisement for three successive weeks, in October and Novem7 bar, in the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Gazette, as he case may be, and i the local paper or papers usually in t h e culation in any part of the country.through which the line a of railway is proposed to pass, of their intention to presen t petition fbr the re-introduction of any such Billrailwsy Bill " Upon a petition for leave to bring in a d t. „ being presented during the session of 1848, and referee e.. the Examiner of Petitions, he is to examine whether the tition be the same in substance as any petition purpose, and from the same parties, which was p re sen .,Bdl the session of 1847 ; and in that case, whether any the brought into the House in pursuance of such petition in ent for tbetedsswil: session of 1847 was pending in either House of Patlia lli _„h, on the termination of such session, and, if so, whether scription contract, as required by the standing orders , Sy ing in the usual way the subscribers to the undertakinkfv, been entered into, and is valid at tbe time of such in(Pf6.. and whether the deposit of 101. per cent. upon such sl s scriptions is lodged in the manner required by the sto w " orders.

DENISON considered that the words "- res.lution We'll 2 tremely icdE finite. I Lien s Mr. GISBOANE considered that these reso-11,46• would not relieve them from the mire of railway leg lion in which they were involved. He would ,S: s s notice, on the second reading of the Railway Bill , the he would bring under the attention of the House 0 tribunals and the forms by which Railway Bills And passed. Unless some reformation in these tribunals. ce7, made no satisfactory issue could ever be a t hose The system at present pursued was the or i g in on unmeaning scenes which were nightly occurring n.rej reading of any railway Bill. The House the which way the Committee was before they e nters le lobby on a division, and regulated their vote accordisN; a:though they know nothing about the matter. present tribunals were wholly incompetent ; it vi. ns 1 possible for him to go into the subject at that tune, he had a Committee to attend. Mr. EL LICE said he considered that the o°ll had shown itself a very incompetent and also a veil 1 ,7 e. consistent tribunal in those matters. But h e must g‘l",e' that the resolutions which he brought forw ard at t 7. commencement of the session had answered every p re ' e pose for which they were intended. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sa il ' that it was the intention of the Government to brin forward the Railways Bill at the very earliest po ssible moment. After a few words from Mr. HODGSON, the roc"' tion was agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER 004 the third resolution:— " That a clause shall be inserted in every RailwaY in the present and every future session of Parliament, 11's'i hibiting the payment of any interest or dividend in resls. of calls (except the interest by way of discount on s ac scriptions pre-paid, agreeably to 8 Viet., c. 16, B• 24 N by of the capital authorised to be raised in such Bil l, either ed means of calls, or of any power of borrowing contain therein." Mr. ENTWISLE would not oppose the resolutiori but he feared that it would lead to abuses, and 11° 0 , give an advantage to wealthy companies over poor on es. Mr. B. DENISON thought the present a most ti resolution, which prevented the interest being Psi d t r ee all Bills which had been introduced in the Pry. — id session ; it would injure the depositors who low ig this money on the condition of receiving interest !. would prevent those parties who were only depos!t:d: now from being subscribers when the Bill was obt ain ed, as they would say, you cannot fulfil your g l lpost with us to pay interest. They ought not to h2eke facto law. He had no objection to such p a ro r p t e Ta l : being made applicable to future Bills. He amendment, that after the words " Railway Bill" she be inserted the words " introduced for the first till e any sef Parliament." Mr. RICARDO said that it had been stated that the withdrawal of powers for the payment of interest ' capital was a discredit to Parliament. He thought Or the the insertion of such a clause was a discredit, for it ' e' duced people to believe that they were investin o r the' h. , struckm oney out inst eadsuch of clauses speculating when they with it came . liehad_ him Jtailwa t ) , Committees.

The thing was a delusion and a snare, en d was obligedto the Right H on. Gentleman for turning his attention to it. After a few words from Mr. H.

He reg rett tle that any attempt should be made to strike it out• wished to know whether this resolution was to be e?: plied to capital already raised as well a s ca p ital to be raised. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said 0 0 it would not. It did not repeal what was already dont Mr. HUME said, that iu votin g for this resolution be voted for it under the impression that it was to be e fe Flied to all railway Bids. It was, however , a 7 enac t me nt, and he hoped that the H ouse would ser port it. Mr. HUDSON said that when the payment of _.. r , rest was introduced it was given when railway er be prise required all the encouragement that eet e iple given to it. He thought that even then the principle was wrong, and that it ought not to have heebeller to for it was paying out of one pocket of the share o es put into the other. He thought that under the Pr f e .„o system of railway legislation the principle was per - unsound het i t Mr. RUSSELL said that what he stated was, t tended to introduce a more substantial class of sp ec tors than had come forward i n the first inetee °e . h Sir G. STRICKLAND w i s h e d to know er ni ds could justly extend this clause to those tit which had already gone through Committee. Ile t b „jee. that the introduction of such a clause threw g re- t i r ell sponsibility upon the House ; and though b e . e 0 .4 41 1 it; disapproved of the payment of interest upon e'r„;j r aeek these cases, he felt bound to su support the ewe which had been introduced, in erg; to avoid doing aDy injustice to the parti es i n t eres t e d in these speculstio.licej The CHANCELLOR o f the EXCHEQUER °been to ask whether, supposing this clause not to ha eir t e o wn embodied, and the Railway Comm i ttee s of th," o id wills refused such a power, w h a t would have bee d yet then? No complaint could have been made, ae ss when the Go vernmen t soug ht to interfere to rePre_opo• certain and gambling speculations, the strongest .1' sition was offered. Whi eb Mr. GROGAN said that the very discussion ,04 had taken place upon this paragraph clearly s o y, that some alteration in the present system was nee: d n ot ani the only matter of regret was that this step ne . 0 0 °WO be-in taken earlier.—(Hear, hear.) Had this res e , o f been proposed earlier in the session a great d 1 0 0 ich difficulty would have been avoided, for Bills ivh d t he been passed in the commencement of the session he for , power of paying interest, while those which eerl i ,, e t hat ward lateould not have this power. He thougliit,,ies the clause w should apply to all future Bills an d to all w" had been passed this session. with t he Mr. CHAPLIN said that he entirely agl:e'- res sing resolutions generally, but he thought that in ro wild speculation many of the old lines were e_rstoir and were compelled to suffer for that which was n ot fault. After a few words from Lord CLIVE, ld greatly Mr. HODGSON said that this measure V/011. e on: injure those shareholders who had signed !_v:e' be pod tracts under the agreement that i nterest wool v ery upon their calls. $ Mr. BAILEY said that he thought itbed cone great hardship upon those parties who im poie to Parliament, at at a very gre at expenae,o.t. 1004 these restrictions upon them without due n v oid given, Re thought tho ybejuvciect 019°4' much ,5 next se, Arr.
