They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to &by teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication ; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the loe est scale possible.

The Select Committee upon this subject met again on Thurs day, in Room No. 2. There were present, Mr. Milner Gibson (chairman), Sir Robert Peel, Sir George Clerk, Alderman Thompson, Hon. M. Liddell. Ri car do, Mr. Mitchell , Mr. Bright, Mr. APCarthv, 2da Leal!, Admiral Dundas, Mr. Thomas Baring, and Lefevre, of the Board of Trade, was recalled, and, in answer to a question from the chair, he stated that he was not aware that he had anything to add to the evidence for merly given; but, with the permission of the Committee, he would prepare a paper containing a brief history of the Na. vigation laws, with all the changes and modifications that had taken place in them, from their origin in the days of Charles 11. down to the present time. Mr. Lefevre then, at the request of the Cha irman, pro ceeded with his explanation of the different cla uses in the navigation Act, in w hi c h h e h a d b een interrupted on Satur day. With respect t o th e 21 s t c l ause , which provided t hat a certain proportion of th e crew s h o uld be taken to consti tute a vessel a British s hip, an d that it rested with h er Majesty, by order in Co u n c il, to declare what that propor tion should be, the wit ne ss s t a ted, in answer to Mr. Mitchell, that in point o f f a ct the whole intention of the navigation laws might be frustrated without the interven tion of an Act of Parliament by an order in Council, altering the proportions of the crew. But, at the same time, he said, in answer to Sir George Clerk, that he had never known such a case to occur, even in time of war. And, in reply to Mr. Liddell, he said the clause was intended to remedy a serious inconvenience which a British ship might be placed under if that portion of her crew who were British should be pressed, and thus the vessel deprived of her British seamen, would be deprived of the privileges of a British vessel. upon any port in the With regard to the 23d clause, Mr. Lefevre explained t h at it gave the Crown power to confer colonies the same privileges as were enjoyed by ports in th i s country, of receiving foreign ships. This power was con tinually exercised by the Crown, and the number of such free ports in the colonies was increasing. Mr. APGrerror, Joint-Seceetary to the Board of Trade, was then eacianin:d., Flt stated that the management and regula tions of foreign commerce were almost altogether under his department in the office, and if the Committee would give him leave he would prepare a paper which would state seriatim those foreign countries with which this country had treaties of reciprocity or commercial relations. In the meantime, be might state, that the navigation laws of the United States were almost entirely an imitation of the na vigation-laws of Great Britain. After the independence of the United States had been established, Mr. Jay bad been sent from the United States to this country to propose that those commercial and maritime relations which subsisted between the two countries before the separation should still be in all respects continued. Mr. Jay at that time proposed very much the same advantages which we enjoyed at present in America. The principal demand on the part of the Go vernment of the United States was, that we should place their trade with the West Indian colonies and the North American colonies which still remained to us on a reciprocal footing with regard to navigation and trade. Air. Pitt fully adopted this view of the case, and prepared a Bill which he brought into Parliament in order to give effect to it; but as Mr. l'itt's Administration soon afterwards went out of office, the Bill was defeated, and England not only rejected all treaty and commercial relations with the United States, but she determined to exclude American produce, even when brought in British ships from the British 'West Indian pos sessions. The consequence of this was, that the United States adopted the British navigation law in all its integrity, and that they continued it in all its integrity, except in so far as England had relaxed her navigation laws. By Mr. EIDDEnt.—Mr. Pitt brought in his Bill in 1783. He did not gather, from the correspondence or spe.eclies on the subject, that the Americms adopted our navigation laws for the purpose of encouraging their own trade. It was certainly for the purposes of trade, and to leave them inde pe, dent is their intercourse with other countries. By Alderman THOMPSON—Since the time of Mr. Jay the navigation laws bad not been matter of treaty; bat there had been much negotiation on the subject of commercial tnterc - ourse. It was true that the navigation laws had been indirectly the subject-mater of this correspondence, but only with regard to those p arts which referred to the in tetcourse of American ships w ith our colonies and with British India. By Mr. BARING—if Mr. Jay's negotiation had been suc cessful, there would have been no navigation laws at all, as regarded the trade between England and America ; but he could not say what might have been done with re gard to their own coasting trade. Even if the negotiation had been agreed to with regard to England, it would by no means have precluded the United States, from forming navi gation laws with other countries—because, in fact, previous to this period, America had herself entered into a commer cial treaty with Holland. By Sir ROBERT PEEL—At that period the trade of the United States with England and her colonies very greatly exceeded that with all the other ports of the world. By Mr. MITCHELL —The States had also entered into pre vious treaties with France and Holland ; but the treaty with France was one of amity, not of navigation ; and the treaty with Holland was entered into before their inde pendence was achieved—in fact, we come to know of :t from the capture of the vessel which was conveying the treaty to Holland. By Alderman THOMPSON—The principle on which the treaty with Holland was based was one of perfect reciprocity. the same as now existed between ibis country and the United'. States. The same law existed in the United States as Unite` this country, prohibiting a foreigner from owning a native ship ; but it was easy for a foreigner to become naturalized. There was not, however, any difficulty in a foreigner holding a British ship. The commercial relations between the two countries was now on a tooting of thorough reciprocity, ex cept that there were restrictions on American vessels enter ing some of our colonies. The principal colonial ports were free ports, into which American ships might enter; but these were not all in that condition. He would afterwards give a list of those ports into which the Americans could not enter, and which they considered as grievances. In America there were certainly higher duties upon goods when brought in British ships than when brought in American ships; these were called counteracting duties. lie could not say what the view of the Americans was in this matter. By Mr. RICAADO---TiliS country agreed to relax their re strictions upon the American trade in consequence of the renionstrances of the B r iti s h merc h as nts regarding the de cline of their trade. That decline was considerable. In 1784, before the A mer i can restr i ct i ons were imposed , the British exports am ounte d to 3,679,468/. In 1785, at the Ia tter'end of which year the restrictions were imposed, the exports declined to 2,368,0231.; while in 17 86, when they were in full force, the exports fell to 1,603,000/. The re strictions were accordingly relaxed in 1787, After these relaxati ons t h e exports i ncreas ed again very con siderably—he would afterwardsl7BB, and 1789 . put in a papa sums in detail. s howing the By the CHAIRMAN —An English ship cou ld take French produce out to the Unit e d States, as there was nothing in the law to prevent them ; but the Government might and did impose countervailing duties which preve nted them. Eng land prevented American ships from bringing duce here except for p urposes o f re.exportation. An French pr o- American ship might bring American flour or cotton from Havre, but that was beca use th e cargo was American p ro duce, though brought f rom a F renc h port. An American ship, 00 her return voyage, might up h e r carg from England or Fran ce , at h er op ti on ; but an English ship o e ither Accos rdingdeter coald only take out the car g o of this country . to the regulations of the American law, ship wa mined to belong to that cou n try under whose laws she was owned and navigated. By Alderman THOMPSON—Up to last year, English ships could not take foreign produce to America, even for purposes of re-exportation, because America had not till lately any warehousing system. Last session of Congress a warehouslitir Bill was passed, but he was not sufficiently acquainted its details to be able to say whether it allowed of Eng fish s h ships importing gods into America for the purpohsealcf that exportation. Ile was aware that American ships • advantage in England. It was a great advantage to t a ne a l l i n i because the geographical position of the ports of Londo c, was Liverpool for the distribution of the produce of the ear 1 unrivalled ; but he did not think that English sh d ils s i:j vo t a h ld e gain the same advantage from bonding their goo i United States, except so far as Canada was concerned. He did not think that the bonding system in America would be of much advantage to our trade with China. In answer to questions Iron Mr. MITCHELL , Mr. M'Gregor gave an opinion as to the wants of the na vigation laws, which Ablerman Thompson and others con tended was premature, as they were then engaged in inquiring eimply into their operation. It was therefore proposed that the questions and answers relating to this point should be withdrawn, and the room was cleared for the division. 'laving decided the point, as we understood, in favour of withdrawing the questions, the Committee adjourned till twelve o'clock on Tuesday RECOVERY OF THE SPHYNX STEAM -SLOOP. The Sphynx has been got of from her unfortunate and position on the bleak and desolate shores at the l'inacnkatoufratllielsle of Wight. To that indomitable spirit of °perseverance which has characterised Englishmen under in all ages, we owe the reerva. allcircumstances and the Navy List, and by his s [ ime h ri x on tion of the 0P S we have reason to believe, the presence of that unfor- , tnuienaattieonsteam .sloop in Portsmouth Harbour. A commu from Portsmouth, by the electric telegraph, an fact to the authorities in town pounced the gratifying on Thursday. We had little doubt, from the completeness of the arrangements on Tuesday, the fine confident spirit which animated all partes on board—the dockyard men as well as the blue jackets—that they would succeed in their enter prise. No disapp ointment seems to have daun ted them, and repeated fa ilure appears to have only braced th em up more f i rm ly in their determination to accom p h s h, as they had so often deserved, success. Too much praise cannot be given to the dockyard men em ployed in this arduous task. They emulated the blue jackets in every respect. Cheerfully and steadily they put their shoulders to the wheel, and with sturdy rigour they toiled on, inch by inch ,securing their advantages as they achieved them. The blue jackets, with no less effect, im petuously strained every nerve in the right direction. Science and great practical experience guided their physical efforts, and the appliances of human strength and mechanical art—muscle and mechanism combined—have effected a great national triumph, and have shown to the world that the Royal service has yet men who " are worth their breeding." The preparations on Tuesday last, on board the Sphynx, and at the locality, were such as to inspire the greatest con filence in the trial to take place that evening. The morning tide did nut rise so high as anticipated ; the rollers which had set in the night before had produced a heavy swell, and although the wind was not high and was blowing off the shore, they could not secure the camel under her port paddle wheel framing ; consequently , they moved th e s hi p ver y little, but, nevertheless, quite up to the ledge of soft rocks which formed a barrier to her further progress towards the sea, as it also served as a protection to the ship against its ravages. As the tide dropped on Tuesday morning every means were taken to husband the advantages which had been gained. The wind continued to blow off the land from N.W. ; the three steamers were under steam about three-quarters of a mile from the Sphynx, about a couple of hundred yards distant from each other, ready to take the lumps and lighters in tow in the event of a change of wind. Two of the lumps were moored, but one having snapped a couple of hawser: of immense strength, and having, from the very bad holding ground, brought home a 45 cwt. anchor, she was busily engaged repairing her moorings. The channel to the ship, and through which she was to come out, was marked off by buoys, by Mr. ' Bell uny, the assistant master attendant, at very little in tervals of distance from each other, and the ship herself was perfectly upright, with her bows pei, ting directly seaward. Around her bows and stern were floating a large number of casks ; one camel was lashed under her starboard paddle-box massive framing, the other camel, the "refractory one," was tethered off on the port side, ready at low water to be liar flossed under the other paddle-box framing. On board the Sphynx the decks were strewed with a pro fusion of casks, anchors, cables, hawsers, lines, handspikes, and other useful apparatus, Captain Austin, under whose di rection the operations were carried on, suitably equipped for the occasion, as weather-beaten as the rough hardy counte nances of those under his orders, appeared equal to the task he had undertaken. Cheerful and light-hearted himself, he inspired confidence and infused energy among the men as he passed along the decks. On the main deck the dockyard men were enjoying their pipes over a galley tire, and numbers were recruiting their strength by repose. In a noble spirit of emulation the starboard side was appropriated for seamen to work at, and the port side the dockyard men, and whilst the latter had painted on the inside of the starboard paddle box the refresher, "England expects every man to do his duty," the blue jackets had paid them the compliment on the port paddle-box in white paint, "Go it mateys." It was impossible to witness these apparently trivial promptings without a feeling of pride and a confident anticipation of that success which has been, we are happy to say, so auspi ciously and so speedily realised—the arrangements appeared to be so perfect and the determination so unanimous. On the port-side on the weather deck a heavy cable was run out to the distance of 180 fathoms, to which was attached a 45 cwt. anchor, backed by a 10 cwt. anchor, and on the starboard side another cable was carried out about 140 fathoms to a 45 cwt. anchor, backed by another smaller anchor; hawsers on each box were carried out to the lumps, and 8 and 10-inch hawsers were also to be taken on board the steamers. The camels being ready filled, and every one at his post, " a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether," at the nick of time, has redeemed our naval character, has maintained our national credit, and has proved to the world that, if we may accidentally lose, we can coolly, and deli berately, and triumphantly, recover—" Britannia rules the waves."

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 4.—ROYAL MARINES.—The orders to recruit to the extent of 1,500 men have been issued by the Admiralty, and:comtnunications made to that effect from the several divisions to the officers em p!oyed on the recruiting service; the standard of height is to be reduced. A union Big is ordered to be issued to each recruiting party, and will be dil)layed at the offieer's quarters in the different towns. There is not to be any increase of offieers this year. lier Majesty's ship Britannic, 120, is ordered to be fitted for commission at this port. She will be brought alengside the docky and to-morrow. It is expected that Captain Sir J. Stirling will be appointed to command her. The St. Vincent, 120, is to be ruu tett) dockto have her eopper examined, and taken to her meerings agaiu with out delay, and fitted for service. Mr decks will not be moved this year. It is believed that, the Admiralty hive appointed Mr. Smith, whose screw propeller is adept d in her Majesty's vessels, to be superintendent of the works connected with it, and all matters related to the fieing of the screw iu Gov( rnment steamers are to be under his direction—the salary to be 60 . 01. a year. A new 'printed code of regu lations for the better arraegment and supervision of the works in the several dockyards has this week been issued to the superintendents of the arsenals. The regulations are ably drawn up, and, if fully acted on, will cause much economy to result both in the wages of the men and the consumption of material. They are what Mr. Ward, the Secretary of the Admiralty, alluded to and described in the House of Commons on Friday night, on moving the Navy Estimates. The inspectors of shipwrights and other branches of mechanics in the yards are to have additional duty and responsibility imposed on them, but their pay will be increased one-fourth in consequence. (The document here referred to is so lengthy that we are unable to find room for it to-day.) The Avenger steamer is loaded with meal for Ireland, and was to put to sea on the arrival of her engineer. The Tyne, 26, also loaded, has sailed. The Dragon has gone to Cork, filled from the Clarence-yard. The Centaur steam-frigate, Mr. Henry Davey, Master commanding, was ducked to-day, to be coppered. She has been ordered to be expedited as much as pos sible, as she is required immediately to load with pro visions fur the relief service. She is expected to be ready by Saturday. The Cleopatra, 26, Captain Wyvill, has been spoken with in the Channel. She is from the Cape of Good Hope station, and has landed her mails and dispatches at Penzance. Contracts were taken to-day at the Royal Clarence victualling establishment, Gosport, for 1,000 sacks of meal, at 51s. 6d., 525. 3d., and 525. sd. per sack, giving an average of about 525. per sack. This establishment, alone, with eight ovens, is daily making food for 27,000 persons, allowing five biscuit» to each person. As we stated yesterday, the utmost activity prevails in every department, and officers and men are alike deserving of prai3e for the indefatigable exertions made to meet the dtinands upon the establishment. THE GREAT BRITAIN. BRISTOL, THURSDAY. — The following documents were read at a meeting of proprietors to-day : " 18, Duke-street, Westminster, Feb. 27. " Gentlemen,—l beg to inclose Captain Claxton's account of the proceedings at Dundrum Bay during the time that he has been engaged in forming the breakwater or protection to the ship, in the manner recommended by me. "Notwithstanding the great difficulties he has bad to con tend with from almost incessant bad weather, with the:wind blowing dead on shore nearly the whole of the month of Ja nuary, and consequently preventing the tides from ebbing sufficiently out to allow of the work being properly pro ceeded with ; and notwithstanding the occurrence of more than one storm at the most critical period of the work, he tics, as I fully relied upon his doing, succeeded in so far protecting the ship that she has been comparatively unaf fected by violent seas, which, there is no doubt whatever, would otherwise have seriously damaged her. We may now calculate wi!li tolerable certainty upon preserving her with out further injury _until the finer, or at least more settled weather sets in. " In the work which Captain Claxton undertook, and has so succm,fully completed, he has been compelled to vary very materially the mode of proceeding first laid down ; he has, in tact, been obliged to adapt his plans to his means of execution, and almost from day to day to devise modes of proceeding, with only the experience of the past day to guide him. i umerous unforeseen difficulties have occurred, upon which he kept me daily informed; and simple as my plan might have appeared to others, it required much skill, contrivance, and unwearying perseverance to carry out, and many alterations and improvements as it progressed. I had relied confidently on success when my friend Captain Clax ton undertook the work, and the result has fully confirmed my expectations. " It is now necessary to turn our attention to the best mode of removing the ship. 1 hope in about a fortnight from the present time to be able to give you some opinion upon this point, but it is one requiring much consideration, and until I had the opportunity of conferring with Captain Claxton on the subject, and also had before me all the mea surements and data which he has collected, it was useless to attempt it.—l am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, " I. K. BRUNEL." The letter of Captain Clav en, whi,;h is dated Ft b. 20, merely describes in detail the ,iteration mentioned in Mr Brunel's letter. A fire broke out in one of the rooms at Goodwood House on Tuesday evening, about half-past seven o' lock. It appears that the Duchess of Richmond had company to dinner, including Mr. Gratwicke, Mr. Lloyd, &c. ; and the coinpary ha - 1 scarcely sat down when the alarm was given. Lord Henry Lennox. and the got;tlomen seated at the dinner table hastened to render assistance; and, having a good supply of water at hand, they succeeded in extinguishing the flames and confining the fire to one room. A sofa, some chairs, and other portions of household furniture, were partly consumed. The Duke of Richmond was in tows. We have not ascertained how the fire originated.—Brighton Gazette.

SLEEP.—The Poet Young says, " Sleep is great Nature's second course—the balm of hurt minds." Johnson ays, "It is the parenthesis of human woe." Sleep being thus appreciated by mankind, how desirous ought we to be that all should tralquilly enjoy "sweet repose," the general obitruction to which is through an unhealthly action of the liver or other viscera. A little attention to the " young dkease," by having recourse to a mild aperient, often prolucts the most salutary effect, and for this purpose Frampton's Pill of Health stands prominent in public opinion. NEW LITERARY INSTIITTION.-..-AID(II43t the no velties of th e day we notice with some degree of satisfaction the e st a blishment of an office called the I.iterarium, for enabling the public to obtain literary aid on every variety of subject.

Ponrsmoura, MARcir 4.—The gratifying intelligence of this vessel having been got off the rocks, in Brix tone Bay, was brought to Admiral Sir Charles Ogle this morning at twelve o'clock, and immediately communicated by telegraph to the Admiralty. The full particulars of the methods adopted by Captain Austin, Mr. Bellamy. master-attendant, and Mr. Watts, builder's assistant, with the force of riggers, seamen, and other persons under their orders, have not been received, but it was known that on Tuesday's tides the Sphynx was moved about 46 feet; on Wednesday's morn ing tide, 175 feet; and last night at eleven o'clock she was dragged into deep water, and taken in tow by the Monkey, African, and Echo steamers, and moved to Yarmouth roads, Ihe crews giving three hearty cheers on their success. The Sphynx, and all the vessels and men, will probably be in Portsmouth Harbour this evening. Admiral Sir Charles Ogle had the satisfaction of commu nicating the preservation of the Sphynx from wreck to her Majesty and Prince Albert, on his calling to pay his respects this forenoon. BRISTOL and EXETER RAILWAY. 13nts - roL, THURSDAY ArrEtixoox.—The half-yearly ge neral meeting of proprietors in this undertaking was held this day at the White Lion Hotel, Broad-street. There was a very numerous attendance of proprietors. The chair was taken by John Browne, Esq., deputy chairman of the board of directors. The CHAIRMAN said, in laying before the proprietors the half- yearly report of their proceeding=, the directors referred them with great pleasure to the statement of rent and toll of thel ine as returned by the Great Western Company. That statement afforded gratifying evidence of the increased and increasing prosperity of the undertaking, and gave to them a well•founded hope that their traffic would be such as, after the termination of their lease to the Great Western Company, to give them a very handsome dividend upon theirshares. Since the last general meeting of the company the directors had given their best and most anxious attention to the carrying out of the new measures which the proprietors had sanctioned with their approval. The branches from Bleadon to Wells, Street, and Glastonbury, and from Castle Cary to Taunton, had passed the Committee unopposed ; and from the great extent of accommodation which they would at ford to the public, the board did not anticipate that there would be any difficulty in obtaining for them Parliamentary sanc tion. Westward of Exeter the branch from Launceston to Liskeard had passed the Standing Orders Committee, bit+ the Bill for the branch from Crediton to Launceston Lad been thrown out upon the standing orders on account of the insufficiency of the engineering plans. The directors felt it but just to their engineer, Mr. Gregory, with whose zeal, ability, and attention they had abundant reason to be satis fied, to state that they exonerated him from all blame in the matter. His appointment was so late that there bad not been sufficient time to prepare the plans properly, and when he undertook to do his best, he told the directors that he could not hold himself responsible for their completion. It was also due to Mr. Brunel to state that, as far as was con sistent with his duty to the Great Western Company, he had given the most courteous and ready assistance. The branches to Tiverton and to Clevedon would, it was hoped, soon be opened for traffic. Upon the Yeovil branch the works had been purposely delayed in order to enable the board to well consider the point at which the junction should be fixed. he directors had under their consideration, and at the pro.. per tittle would provide for the plant whi would be re 9uired after the termination of the leaself the,line.— (Sheers.) The board exceedingly regretted - t.e resignation of their worthy chairman, Mr. Gibbs, but at the same time they considered it a most fortunate thing for the interests of the company that they had been able to prevail upon so in fluential a gentleman as Mr. J. W. Buller, of Downes, to take a seat at the board as his successor. _ _ The SECRETARY, Mr. .T. B. Badham, then read the report of the directors, which was in substance the same as the speech of the chairman, and also recommended a dividend of 4 per cent. on the paid-up capital, which would leave a surplus of 2,055/. 15s. sd. In reply to questions by Mr. Hare, The CHAIRMAN said the directors had no doubt they would be able to obtain from the Great Western Com pany an early statement of what proportion of plant they would expect the Bristol and Exeter Company to take to at the close of the lease. He believed that the ar rangement would be concluded in a friendly spirit between the companies ; fur, whether the Bristol and Exeter line was worked as an independent line or otherwise, it would be for the mutual interests of both companies that they should continue on terms of perfect amity.—(Cheers.) What the directors had in view was to ascertain from the Great Western board what plant they wished to hand over when the lease terminated, on the Ist May, 1849. In reply to another question, The CHAIRMAN said, the directors would be quite able in two years to supply themselves with plant, even should the Great Western Company wish to hand over nothing. The SECRETARY—There are parties ready to undertake to supply it.—(Hear, hear.) A PROPRIETOR asked, if the statement in reference to the Bristol and Exeter line in Nash's Railway Statistics was true ? _ The CHAIRMAN understood that it was made up from the return of the Great Western Company, and that it was quite correct. The PROPRIZTOII—It is very encouraging, then. Mr. H. BRITTAN then expressed his gratification that the line was now admitted to be as good a. , he had anticipated when he, as the organ of the committee of shareholders, last addressed the proprietary. He alio expressed his satisfac tion that the resignation of Mr. Brunel, and of their chair man had got rid of a great deal of the Great Western in terest, which had too long influenced their proceedings. Their property had suffered from their having had a divided board ; and he hoped that now there would be no more division, but that their affdirs would go on satis factorily. The CHAIRMAN, in reply, said there was no greater mis take than to suppose that the board was influenced by any fear of or desire to submit improperly to Great Western in fluence. Mr. C. BERNARD said he had yen with regret a line to Exeter put forward by the Great Western Company which did not pass over their line. Did the directors intend to op pose the Great Western Company? The CitAirtmarr said there was no such intention by the Ward. The Great Western Company would be strongly op posed by the South-V1 estern, and it was thought that their interference would be useless Mr. BERNARD thought that a few thousand pounds would be well laid out in an opposition.—(No.) Mr. SECOND was glad to hear that the directors did not intend squandering money in opposition.

Shares were rather dull. The Corn market to-day is again higher, as regards Wheat. The Money Market has an exceedingly flat appearance today, and the pressure of the payments on the new loan is felt temporarily, even more than was by some expected. Out of doors money has been comparatively easy, and the heavy amount of bills which fell due yesterday was met well under all circumstances. The English Stock Market has been very sensitive, and it seems evident that sales have been made to obtain cash for payments upon the scrip.

MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES. - - On Thursday there was a numerous meeting of the magis trates for the county of Middlesex, at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell-green ; Mr. H, Pownall occupying the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and unani mously confirmed. STATE OF THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION. The report of the visiting justices of the House of Correc tion, Coldbath-fields, was then read. It stated that there were at present 968 prisoners confined within its walls, of whom 756 were males and 282 were females. There were also five children in confinement. The report was received and adopted. STATE OF THE WESTMINSTER. HOUSE OF CORRECTION. The report from the visiting justices of this prison was next read, when it appeared that the number of prisoners confined in that gaol was 662, namely, 496 males and 106 females. This report was also received and adopted. THE TREADWHEEL AND FEMALE PRISONERS. Mr. Walesby's motion for the abolition of the use of the treadwheel in the case of female prisoners at the House of Correction, Coldbath-fiields, was postponed to the next county-day, in consequence, as was understood, of the indis position of that gentleman.
