p.. ~ s . y• administered witihin the walls of the hosp ital, with • its limited means, you have not less tha a 17,823 persons receiving from this institution during the past par an allevia.tion of their sufferings .—( Lou), cheers.) Thera were not lees than 450 cases in which 1 ?oor mar ried women, unable, from their own earnings, so procure telif3f during their confinement, had a mitigati. en of their ulerings through the intervention of the offitiers of this institution.—(Cheers.) Such is the extent of good which has been done by the hospital in cons exion with King's College; and that is good against wtich no pos sibility of objection can be ralsed.—(Cheers.) There are eases of benevolence and charity - where, however unquestionable your motives, it is possible you may be relaxing exertion and engendering habits of dependence on eater: at 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, therefores, bear in mind that every contribution which you ina.y make towards the funds of this society will not only lessen the sum of human misery, not only mitigate the ,severe suffering of thousands of your fel -low-crea7a sea., 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, for which this institution is intended; but it has another object, and an equally important one, in vie w. It constitutes a school where knowledge of the human ' frame can be aeTtired—where there can be a close observation of the appearances and progress of iilsease. You not only, therefore, by contributing towards the funds c, this society, are mitigating present sufter 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 steeled religi; n, and is intimately connected with the Es tablished Ci.urch.—(Ltoud cheers.) Within the walls of this hospital those who receive relief are called upon to offer their acknowledgments to the Author 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 obli ga ti ons o f re li g i on . "While they are. contemplating the human framo they are called upon to r,e .gnise, in the admitted fact that we are " fearfully an.: v. onderfully made," a new obliga tion to rev erence the omniscience and benevolence of the Deity ; but, above all, in the wonderful constitution of the bum= 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 Meth which it is the object of our Church to teach and propagate.—(Cheers.) I call upon you, then, not merely as friends of humani'y, 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.—(Oheers.) It is possible that before you entered these wails you may have made up your minds to the subscription of some particular sum. It is just possible that the stevrards may have already recorded particular amounts in their subscription papers ; but let me make to you the consolatory announcement that there is a locus panitentice.—(Loud cheers.) You are in no degree bound (,r concluded by any communication you may have mooa to those respectable gentlemen—(Cheers)— and it you are deeply convinced, as I am, of the truth I am about to state, that if he who made up his mind to give 51. will give 101., and he who made up his mind to give 201. will give 50/., and he who purposed giving 50/. will give 1001., I venture to say you will not only pro portionwely mitigate the sum of human suffering, but my firm con vicion is, you nil' themby add to your own enjoyment ; r Will r- fleet with pleasure that you had made a c , Leiviot meeting ancillary to tNe purposes of charity, ) 0 : 1 ;r ill never see or hear of the King's College Hospital without retlesoing with pride that you had by your liberl contributions of this night rescued it front 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, tut of religion and virtue, members of that noble profession—for noble the medical profession is in all its braric)-s—haing for its immediate object the alleviation of those grievous sufferings which are the lot of our common humanity. I (rave " Prosperity to the King' s C o ll ege Hospital. —(Loud cheers.) The Duke of ST. ALBANS propos ed " The health of Sir Robert P ee l, and thanks fu r his presidency on this occasion." The toast was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm. Sir R. PEEL, in returning thanks, said—l wi-h 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 th-. Noble Duke on ct.y 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 occupaticEs 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 Mt 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 me:Lcal 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 Right Hon. BARONET then proposed the Trea surer, Mr. Alderman Copeland's, health, which 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 1,7001.; 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.

Morning .. 26 minutes after 11. Evening .. u 7 minutes -tiler 11 receptacles for the alleviation and cure of their suffer ings and infirmities, we were pursuing a course " against which no possibility of objection could he 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 on 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, is free from all possible objection, in which hurl-an misery is mitigated, habits 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 treata.ent, in the hour of danger and physical suffering, we Lave not more than ten hospitals for general pu• poses ; and it further appears (which is the greatest reproach to us) that seven out of these ten were establis . t.erl one hundred years ago; and net merely this, but that the three additional ones, which are all that have been erected within a century, nut withstanding the pro . digious increase in our populatio n and public wealth, are greatly inferior in accommodation and other re spects to those %s hich our aecestors 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 donations 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 discus ion 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 Debuts 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 Chasselcup-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, abov e a ll, to b'.! looked f,,r in a goo 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 fir the vanquished people w:,ich 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 iu 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 100000. 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 gorits—to exclude some and then others • some because they are rich anti will not consen t t o spend their life in a farm of the Milidja; 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 affair for France ; it will be good it 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 Cont 6 ; 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 chock an enemy whose arrival in Algeria the Moniteur Algerien an nounced (falsely, by the way), in these terms: 'The Emir Abd"el-Kader has just re-appeared in the south of Sebdon, with considerable forces, consisting of 400 horsemen, and 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 M. 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 Fiicamp, 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 Chainber of Deputies that a telegraphic dispatch had reached Paris in the morning, an ticuncing that the Junta of Oporto had made its complete submission before the ultimatum laid down by the three Commis-inners 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 ot the state ot 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 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 Flotte publishes a letter from an officer on board 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 Poole was laid on her beam-ends for two hours without being able to right herself. Her officers deli. berated upon the necessity of cutting away the mizenmast. The foremast was split, the topmast was carried away, the hull was damaged, and the boats washed off by the sea. The gale lasted only a few hours, but drove towards the ' shore, so that the ships were obliged to beat up against it. The frigate Was able to reach moorings at St. Marie, where she quickly repa i red her damages and c h ange d h er f oremast. The Berceau m us t h ave gone down , f or no part of he r h as been seen, except some few pieces of wreck drifted on shore. Among them were some hats, the prow of a boat, and an oil-painting, by Lebreton, which was in the stern-cabin." The Univers announces the death, at Naples, of Cardinal ACTON, and of Cardinal PIGNATELLI, archbishop of Palermo.

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 un&ni 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 cne 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 Dom MIGUEL, had the Count DAS ANTAS revealed an ambi tion on his part to transform hii 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, France, 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 Commander-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 PALmEasToN, 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 ho3tage, 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, we 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 we 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 must arouse the anxiety of all those who can sym 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. HumE'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 rela 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 "ce kindliness of our nature towards the maimed and sick of our poorer brethren, by : voluntarily contributing to the support of public MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was flat again, and the decline on American, compared with Friday last, is l i gd. per lb. Sales 3,000 to 4,000 bales, of which 2,500 were American, at 6 1 / 2 d. to 7 1 / 2 d. per lb.; Surat was at 4d. to 4', 7 0. per lb.; and Bahia at 7- 1 / 4 d. to 7 1 / 2 d. Railway Shares were firm, but with very little doing. Accounts of February 13 from INielhourne, Port Phillip, state that the whole district was suffering from the scarcity of labourers, and that as them 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 Indios, and given in another column, our own accounts not having reached as yet, a: a satiAtactory, as respects the various islands, but from Mexic ,, we are still without ary news of a conclusive nature, and the war promises to become now of a predatory cha racter before it concludes. The Public Secuvities were rather tending u 4 wards early in the day, but have since declined. Consols have realised 88 to t;,r wesient transfer, and 884 to 3 / 4 for account. The New Thtee-and-a•Quarer per Cents.have been 88 5 . 4 to 3 / 1 , and the Three per Cents. 8674 to 87. Bank Stock ix quoted to 196.

The new s received by telegraph of the capture of Das Antes has made Portuguese Stock rather bett.r, viz., 30 to 30 1 ,2. Brazilian Five per Cents. have been at 83 1 j 1. Mexican Stock is worth 20%. In Railway Shares the bu,i ,, ess done has been moderate. The re.commendrtion of the Parliamentary Committee to allow the companies prosecuting Bills this session to suspend their works if they so think tit, seems generally to be ap proved, and it is - hoped that but few companies wtli neglect to avail themselves thereof.

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 verdict was for the plaintiff, and subsequently a rule was al lowed by the defendant for an arrest of judgment. The COURT, this morning, ordered the rule to be dis charged. The point turned upon certain specific covenants 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 WIGHTMAN.) 310:TYN V. HALFORD.

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. BAYLEY then put in an office copy of an affi lavit sworn to by the defendant, in which ho state , l that he had given instrue.ions to Mr. Atkinson (the plaintiff), his attor ney, and also Submitt,d that, under the 6 end 7 Vic., c. 73, in which it was enacted hat the allocater of the Master as to the amount of costs ou taxation should be final. Mr. CIiARNOCK then addressed the jury, and said that he should be abie, 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 witness, and who had bought the debt of HI. of defendant for 91., althou,h the action was brought in defendtod.'s name. Mr. Beam., tnrmerly bailiff of the County Court at May field, and now clerk to an attorney, was called, and proved that he was formerly a debt collec!or. Defen 'ant put some debts into his hands to collect, and it being neces, , ary to em ploy en attorney, he told defendant that if the latter would take 9/. tier the debt, if recovered, he witness would pay the costs. IL was a" no cure no pay" affair. The writ and pm. ceenings were sent to him to serve, and tie was paid. Ile did nut tell ulaintiff the terms. Mr. BAYLEY contended that no Arrangement between de fendant and Beams could affect plaintiff unless he was made acquainted viith the terms. The UNDIR,SHERIFF was of the alms oi.inion, and said that in the affidavit the defendant admitted plaintiff was his attorbev. The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) James Williams was placed befiire Mr. Bingham, charged with being found in the shop of Mr. Tyas, draper, No. 7, Charles-street, Soho, with the intention of committing a felony. It appeared that the prisoner was observed by complain ant's son, who was at the door of a neighbour's "house oppo a,te, to be walking backwards and forwards, casting very• sly glances into the shop. Thinking smnething was wrong, he sect eted himself behind a door, and watched the prisoner for nearly ten minutes. The prisoner, finding t hers was not any person visible in complainant's shop, stole in, and was in the act of taking a bundle of nankios 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 Ca; roll, the particulars of whose 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 De Homberg, 27, Audlerstreet. 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, Westbourne grove, and producing two large bundles of linen, wished her to purchase them. She decline:l 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 shewas 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 Kingsey 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 wan yesterday brought to this office on the charge of feloniously stealing a watch and a pair of boote. 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, n,.twithstand big you did all you could against them; they and 1 hocussee the fellow." The constable afterwards foned out that the prisoner had managed to get the prosecutor in a gin shop. and made him drunk. He was seen pouring the gin down the prosecutor's throat Thus it was that prosecutor bt-came unable to attend. The prisoner was taken 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. BROUGHTON said that it might pos,ibly 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 10s., or ten days' imprisonment. The prisoner was locked up in deilet, CLERKENWELL.-( THIS DAY.) A charge of a trifling character %vas preferred by police constable 113 S, and while the °Ali was being administemi to him his manner displayed much levit). Mr. COMAE, the presiding ina i ,istrate,_ having observed it, commented strongly upon the manner 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 (ibli gation under which they were placirg thitAns&ve: when being sworn. The worthy Magistrate then said, tuflressing the inspector on duty, that, ohe thught one 3t he most im portant features - in the instruction of constables when enter ing the force should be to impress upon their ri , :nds 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, atter a shoat convulsive straggle, fell backwards out of the witness-box, apparently quite lifeless, his bend striking violently the wainscoting of the wall behind the box. He was imme diately carried out of court by the attendant', when medical assistance was procured, and he in some degi ee 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 metheal treatment. THAMES.-7(THIS DAY.) Margaret Mahony was charged on suspicion of having robbed Mr. James Inwood, proprietor of the City of Carlisle of thirty-four sovereigus and 31.10 e. Tavern, Rosemary-lane, 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 silver in his desk as usual, and carefully locked it. He then went to his other house at Lababeth, and returned about one o'clock on the Sunday morning. Ile had no occasion to go to his desk till about four o'clock in thP ernoon, when to his surprise he found that the lock had been forced, and the money abstracted. The prisoner was the only person in the house, with the exception of the party who had charge of it after be left on Saturday night. The key was not out of his possession from the time he left. Sergeant Eves, H 14, deposed that he 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 handed anoti soverign to the inspector; and last night she gave anot be: sovereign to the same publican to whom she hadpre‘hlia.,tislll‘o- given one.

The resolution was then agreed td with the aniend wents proposed by Mr. R. Hodgson. The following Conaitions were also agreed to, Wit few verbal amendments:— " The promoters of such Bills are to give notice 10 tll ff Private Bill-office, on or before the 18th day of J une; ,:the the Bill shall be in Committee, then within six daysd any report of the Committee, of their intention to slasPen further proceedings thereon, on the completion of some "'" sequent stage of the Bill.

DENISON considered that the words resolution were extremely le tit finite. Mr. GISBORNE considered that these r eti. o would not relieve them from the mire of railway leive Lion in which they were involved. He woo at Inlice, on the second reading of the Railway Bit _ t he he would bring under the attention of the Efousewere tribunals and the forms by which Railway Bills,_ 1. passed. Unless some reformation in these tribunals,p made no satis'actory issue c,aild ever be 111.tt oo The system at present pursued was the origin 0 1 _P' t h e unmeaning scenes which were nightly occurring ou_iredn reading of any railway Bill.

Mr. ELLICE said he considered that the "Pa.; had shown itself a very incompetent and also very P, consistent tribunal in those matters. But he must say that the resolutions which he brought forward at ,' commencement of the session had answered every pose for which they were intended. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER s 1?„, that it was the intention of the Government to brig forward the Railways Bill at the very earliest poss ible moment. After a few words from Mr. HODGSON, the resole' tion was agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER eloY ea the third resolution:— " That a clause shall be inserted in every Railway in the present and every future session of Parliaments P'"; hibiting the payment of any interest or dividend in reP t i r , of calls (except the interest by way of discount on s ot scriptions pre-paid, agreeably to 8 Vict., c. 16, 8. 24). m ad of the capital authorised to be raised in such Bill, eitlrLed means of calls, or of any power of borrowing e on '. therein." Mr. ENTWISLE would not oppose the res o4l „la but he feared that it would lead to abuses, ands 0-0, give an advantage to wealthy companies over po o liar Mr. B. DENISON thought the present a mostrnon resolution, which prevented the interest being paid t all Bills which had been introduced in the , P"Mig, session ; it would injure the depositors who heorrit, this money on the condition of receiving interest would prevent those parties who were only dept'sq,i now from being subscribers when the Bill was obtelfent as they would say, you cannot fulfil your a g ree :post with us to pay interest. They ought not to roakeoloion /ado law. Ile had no objtetion to such a re s ee d . „e s .„ an bring made applicable to future Bills. He Prc i vr b iould ttineudmEnt, that after the words "Railway Btllbe inserted the words "introduced for the first tun' any session of Parliament." Mr. RICARDO said that it had been stated that the withdrawal of powers for the payment of interest u O t capital web a di.credit to Parliament. He thought tPS the insertion of such a clause was a discredit, for i t la ,. duced Feyl le to believe that they were investing th eP money insie.Al of speculating with it. He had alwsi g struck out such clauses when they came before him oPo ll Kane may Committees. In order to pa the interest, Lb ° calls, instead of being 21. 10c., were 21. 155., and the 65 ' .sas paid back in the shape el interest at the end of 5 : , % months. The thing was a delusio n an d a snare, zthd,l'f, d to the Right Hon.

He regrett a sw hat any attempt sho u ld b e ma d e to str ik e it out wished to know whether this resolution was to be ss plied to capital already raised as well as capital to raised. The CHANCELLOR, of the EXCHEQUER said not it would not. It did not repeal what was already done. Mr. HUME said, that in vt.ting for this resolution be voted for it under the impression that it was to be sr !lied to all railway Bills. It was, however, a goal enactment, and he hoped that the House would Nur port it. Nlr. HUDSON said that when the payment of We' rest was introduced it was given when railway ente_r prise required all the encouragement that could given to it. He thought that even then the prinFifeto', was wrong, and that it ought not to have been V v . 0 for it was paying out of one pocket of the share ent put into the other. He thought that under the fectll system of railway legislation the principle wag Pe r " — unsound ,blit it Mr. RUSSELL said that what he stated was, t - n i ir tended to introduce a more s ubst an ti a l class of ep ee tors than had come forward in the first instanoe. A , / Sir G. STRICKLAND wished to know whethe r could justly extend this clause to those railwai "" e "h; which had already gone through Committee. Lie tb°„"lt'e that the introduction of such a clause threw a gr e ,"l re r if sponsibility upon the House ; and though be ell ;,i in disapproved of the payment of interest upon na1 3 1,,, -- e nt these cases, he felt bound to support the atneem— a ny which had been introduced, in order to avoid do in.; injustice t o th e p ar ti es interested in these speculat ions.
