The case and opinion accompanied the communi cation, and was read by Mr. Thome, the secretary. The case s.ot forth the various acts of the board from time to time, which had been carried out without the approval of the Commissioners, and then proceeds to ask— " Whether, since August, 1834, under sections 155 and 156 of the local Act, 35th Geo. 111., c. 73, the directors and guardians of the poor of St. Marylebone, not having sub mitted the rules and regulations made by them for the ap proval and confirmation of the Poor-law Commissioners, such rules and regulations are valid?"

THE LINCOLNSHIRE AND EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.•••• GRIEVE V. LUMSDEN. In this case, which was not concluded at the time of going to press with our Afternoon Edition of yesterday, the jury returned a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF EXCIIEQUER.—Yeb. 12. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the LORD Cyr BARON and • Special Juries.) In the case of Webster v .West the record was withdrawn, and the cause did not therefore proceed to trial. BAKER V. HAGGARD. In this cause, Mr. Charles Baker, the secretary to the Tours and Honfleur Railway, was the plaintiff, and Mr. James Haggard, a member of the provisional and managing committess of the above-named rails ay, was the defendant. Mr. 0. Malley appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ogle for the defendant. The action was brought to recover of the defendant the sum of 931. being the amount of salary due to the plaintiff for services performed on behalf of the Tours and Houfleur Railway, the plaintiff -alleging that be was engaged at a salary of 3001. per annum to perform the duties of secretary to the company. It appeared that the present railway was one of that very numerous class called forth in the year 1845, which were doomed to pass their brief hour on "change," seemingly the purpose of raising delusive hopes of visionary premiums in the minds of the promoters, and adding a long list of causes to the already overcrowded lists of the courts of law and equity. In the • present case, there being no evidence to show that the defendant had continued to act noon the provisional or managing com mittee—(on the contrary, that he refused his consent to have his name placed in that ominous list)—or that he had ever acted upon such committee, and the books of the company being in the possession of a Mr. Hop kins. a director of the company, who, in spite of all attempts to discover his " whereabouts," was declared to be still non est, and a number of uitnesses having been called whose evidence bore in no degree whatever upon the contract between the parties, the counsel for the plaintiff • said that he was sorry to say that the next person to be called was, he feared, the plaintiff himself. In this opinion the Loup CHIEF BARON coincided, and the plaintiff having been thrice summoned to come forward to save his writ at nisi prius, and declining to do so, was non suited accordingly. STANDING ORDERS COMMITTEE. The Committee met at the usual hour. The following Bills were decided upon as stated : MIDLAND RAILWAY (SHEFFIELD. BARNSLEY, DONCASTER, AND GOOLE LINE). Standing orders not to be dispensed with. SOUTH YORKSHIRE RAILWAY. Parties allowed to proceed. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY (HERTFORD TO IIITCHIN). Standing orders dispensed with. WISHAW AND COLTNESS RAILWAY (BRANCIIES TO AUCHENHEATIL &c.) Standing orders dispensed with. PORTADOWN AND DUNGANNON RAILWAY. Standing orders dispensed with. The Committee then adjourned. PETITIONS ON PRIVATE BILLS. (Room 22, before Mr. Examiner SMITH.) In the following unopposed cases the customary formal proofs were completed:— Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Wakefield, Huddersfield, and Goole Railway (partial alteration of levels and abandon ment, extension lines, and leasing or sale of lines).

We understand that a meeting of noblemen and gentlemen connected with the Highlands and Islands, assembled at 18, Parliament-street, on Wednesday last, the 10th instant, for the purpose of considering the expediency of applying to the Government on some points in which the population of these districts of the kingdom are at present deeply interested. A deputation from this meeting, consisting of the Marquis of Northampton, Mr. James Matheson, M.P., The 'Chisholm, Mr. H. Baillie, M.P., Mr. Frederick Dundas, M. P., Mr. Maclean, of Coll ; the Reverend Dr. Macleod, of Glasgow; Mr. Hugh - Jones Cameron, and Mr. George Bain, lion. Secretary of the Highland Society of London, waited yesterday, by appointment, on Sir George Grey, and were most courteously received. They submitted to Sir George the expediency (1) of Government - aiding proprietors in the High lands and Islands by a loan, for the purchase of seed for the smaller tenantry; (2) the affording aid to local relief com mittees in supplement of the subscriptions and collections obtained from private sources; and (3) the desirableness of having a depot ship or ships on the eastern coast, for the purpose of allaying the apprehensions of the people in the north-eastern counties of Scotland, that there will not be a supply of food procurable throughout the spring and summer, and the fears of which have occasioned dis turbances and riots along the whole of the east coast. The deputation submitted to Sir George that such a measure as the last would effectually, they believed, allay the fears of the people, and be the ini,A economical, as well as, in every view, the most humane mode of restoring peace and confi dence among them. - . _ On the first point (the giving a loan for the purchase of seed) Sir George stated, that he thought no such aid would be required from the Government, as he understood the central committee iu Edinburgh were directing their special attention to it ; and, moreover, that the required accoMmodatiou would, probably, be obtained from the Scotch banks ; and also, that it would be very inexpedient for the Government to hold out any expectation of aid in this particular, as this would naturally, and very probably, lead to improvidence on the part of the people in the consumption of the stores they might otherwise preserve for seed. On the second matter (the affording of aid to local relief committees), Sir George stated that the conduct of the Scotch proprietors and people generally had been so exceedingly praiseworthy, that he was very averse to giving what might be considered an ungracious answer to this request, but, that hitherto such aid had nut been afforded generally, and it was hoped that it might not be generally required. In two special instances the Government had given some help to local committees, and they would be pre pared to consider special applications from parti cular localities, peculiarly needing such assistance, though every case must depend entirely on its own circumstances. But that, as a general rule, the Government were exceed ingly unwilling to encourage such applications or expecta tions, as they much feared that the result eventually would only be injurious to the people by tending to pauperise them, and to lower the feelings of self dependence which now distinguished, he was happy to say, the Northern population. On the third point (the proposal to establish a Government depot on the east coast ), Sir George stated, that the expor tation of food f.-oin that quarter clearly proved there was no scarcity there, and, therefore, it would be inconsistent with the rules of the Government, and the motives which led to the establishment of depots on the west coast, to send a ship to the east. It was urged in reply, that although wheat, and cattle, and live sock were exported from the east coast, these do not coAstitute the food of the poorer classes. Sir. George, however, would not hold out any expectation that any depot would be established by the Government on the east coast. MR. COCHRANE and the ELECTORS OF WESTMINSTER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - _ Stu,—As an elector of Westminster allow me to ask, whether the Mr. Charles Cochrane, who now so ostenta tiously parades his pretensions to represent Westminster, is the same person as one Senor Juan de Ve.la, who some few years back published a journal of a tour through Great Britain and Ireland, and who then paraded a series of adven tures in various towns and places at which modesty and de cency felt ashamed, and whose public avowal signallyproved the want of good taste and common propriety in the writer. If they be one and the same person, the electors of West minster ought to know it. If not, Mr. Cochrane cannot too soon disown the identity.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, St. James's, Feb. 12.

But though the deceased Peer did not stand high in the roll of his order, fortune bestowed upon him per. haps as long a rent-roll, and estates more ample and less en cumbered, than belonged to any member of the English arise tocracy. The deceased Peer was one of two twins; he never possessed a robust constitution, and he did not attain a vel.- advanced period of life. His Grace was born on the 17th of April, 1785, and at the time of his death had, therefore, rot completed his sixty-second year. At a very early age the Duke, then bearing the courtesy-title of Earl Percy, went to St. John's College, Cambridge, where he took the de gree of A.M. in 1805, and th a t of LL.D. in 1809. Every reader will be prepared to learn that a man of his rank obtained a seat in the House of Commons imme diately on his attaining sufficient age to qualify hint for that trust. Buckingham was the first place which had the honour of being represented by the future Duke of Northumberland. As a politician he enjoyed all the merits of undeviating consistency; he began life as a Tort' and a supporter of the Protestant constitution, and every vote and wish of his was to maintain the settled constitution of these realms as it existed when his own political career commenced ; he was, however, by no means indifferent to social ameliorations ; the poor on his own estates were carefully provided for, and his sympathies with suffering humanity even extended t`o the African negro ; for we find that his maiden speech, delivered in the House of Commons on the 2d of February, 1806, was that of an earnest advocate for the abolition of the slave trade. The death of Mr. Fox took place very soon after the late Duke entered the House oiCommons,and that much lamente-d event created a vacancy in the representation of Westininster, which Lord Percy was elected to fill. As member for that most important city he continued to sit only till the'next general election. To the surprise of the quidnuncs, be did not again present himself to the constituency of Westmihster, but came in for the borough of Launceston, where his faintly interest commanded a predominating influence. In 1807 he was returned without any contest for the county of-Nor thumberland, and continued to be its representative until very near the close of the Perceval Administration. It was on the 17th of March, 1812, five years before the death of his father, that Lord Percy was summoned by writ to the Upper House. The records of the representative branch of the Legislature present no striking evidences of his industry as a politician or his talents as a statesman. Ife was a man whose intellect and attainments procured for -him a very moderate degree of respect, and nothing could be more ob vious than that if lie had not been "born great" he was not very likely to have " achieved greatness." When the sub ject of this memoir was a young man the dread of foreign invasion led to a very extensive armament of yeomanry and volunteers. The force which bore the desig nation of the Percy tenantry deserved to be called almost au army. It comprehended a body of horse artillery, six troops of cavalry, and seventeen compa nies of infautry, which were clothed, appointed, and main tained at the expense of the second Duke. The command of this force was entrusted to the then Lord Percy. That he was popular with that corps will readily be supposed, and there is nothing very extraordinary in the fact, that on his elevation to the House of Peers, the regiment of the Percy tenantry presented him with a superb sword. From the time that he took his seat in the House of Peers till his marriage, little remains to be related respecting the sayings or doings of Hugh Earl Percy. When he had reached the thirty -second year of his age he ceased to be a bachelor. The Lady qi, or lotte Florentia Clive, second daughter of Edward, ti; st E. Powis, was the lady destined to be become the pa, Inter ,c' his life. Their union took place on the 20th of April, rel 7, her Ladyship being then in . the thirtieth year of her 'a > e. Having at all times enjoyed the reputation of great 12:3- 1 sense, much amiability, and many accomplisline;seits. she was, at the proper time, appointed governese to the Queen, which office she held until 1,, Majesty reached that ' period of life which rsielei eel such services superfluous. Although Lady Charlotte Clive, in due time Duchess of Northumberland, . w'as well born and well dowered, yet there can be no doubt that for any lady in this land an alliance with the Lord of Aln wick Castle would be a signal advancement in life, for no man enjoyed higher titles, more superb res id ences , or fi ner estates. - Ile was to be Duke and Earl of Northumberland, Earl and Baron Percy, Baron Lucy, Poynings, Fitz:myae, Bryan, Latimer, and Warkworth. He was to be the owner of Alnwick, Warkworth, and Keilder Castles, in the county of Northumberland, of Werrington Park, in Cornwall, and of Sion House, in Middlesex. He was, through his maternal descent, the representative of the old Earls of Northumber land—of that Manfred, the Dane, who made irruptions into France in the ninth century, and whose posterity, settling in Normandy, took their name from the domain of Percy, in that province. William de Percy, with his brether Serle, accompanied William the Conqueror to Eng land, and obtained from that monarch a grant of 86 manors in Northumberland, and 32 in Lincolnshire, and of course became a baron. The ninth in succession front him was created Lord Percy of Alnwick, and the fourth Lord Percy was, at the coronation of Richard IL, advanced to the Earldom of Northumberland, with a barony in fee transmissible to heirs female as well as male. Th,e eleventh Earl of Northumberland died without male issue in 1670; he had an only daughter, who became his sole heiress, and she succeeded to the baronial honours only. The sixth Duke of Somerset became her husband, and their son, the seventh Duke of Somerset, having been summoned to Parliament as Baron Percy, was created Earl of Northumberland, with remainder, in case he had no male issue, to his son-in-law, Sir Hugh Smithson, Bart., who had married his Grace's daughter, the Lady Elizabeth Seymour, and who in duo course succeeded to the Earldom on the demise of the Duke in 1750, obtaining in the same year an Act of Parliament to allow himself and his Countess to assume the arms and name of Percy. His Lordship was created Duke of Northumberland on the 22d of October, 1766. The Smithsons are an old Yorkshire family, the first baronet of the line receiving his title on the 2d of August, 1660. ilugh, the second Duke, eldest son of the first, married a sister of the Earl of Bute, by whom he had no family, and from whom he was divorced. • Secondly, he espoused Frances Julia, third daughter of Peter Burrell, Esq., of Beckenham, in the county of Kent. These were the parents of the Noble Duke whose life and character now engage our attention. His twin sister was the Lady Agnes Percy, who married Colonel Buller, of Penlynt, in Cornwall. On the 10th of July, 1817, the second Duke of the Smithson line paid the debt of nature, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. The Noble Peer just deceased immediately succeeded to the honours and estates, which he lived to enjoy during the long period of thirty years. Of the House of Lords he was by no means a distinguished member. He usually voted or gave his proxy to the leader of the Tories for the time being; but he scarcely ever took any part in the business or delibera tions of Parliament. In the year 1825 Charles X. of France was crowned with all the splendour and gaiety which mark every public cere monial in that country. Upon this memorable occasion the Duke of Northumberland was appointed to represent the Majesty of England. The expenses of that "embassy extra ordinary" where wholly defrayed from the Duke's private purse; yet his superb equipages, and the magnificent array of his attendants quite outshone the splendour displayed by the - Ministers of the Czar, or even by the representatives of the Imperial Crown of Austria. Bat it is said that our Duke could not utter a word of French, :te the great horror of the Parisians, who scarcely believed that a man possessed, any knowledge whatever who had neglected to cultivate their own polished dialect. Neither could they be taught, to imagine that any subject of the British Crown passes tele ficient wealth to render the expenses of such an emba-ky a matter of trifling consideration. The amount of his tlielce'e disbursements on this occasion may be estimated fTsee the fact that Parliament voted a sum of 10,000/. to pur chase a diamond-hilted sword as a present to his Greee, i i order to mark their high sense of the manner in weieh he had maintained the dignity of his Sovereign' at the French Court. In the year 1829 the Duke of Northumberland was selected by the Duke of Yelling ton to succeed the Marquis of Anglesey in the office of Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland ; the Duke, of course, gave his entire sanction to the Orange party, and was, therefore, viewed with aversion by the Roman Catholics, but he pos sessed neither the talent nor the energy to make himself thoroughle bated, and so he continued in a quiet sort of way to administer the government of Ireland until Lord Grey became First Minister, when the Noble Marquis whom he had succeeded iu turn replaced him. Although the Govern ment allowance to his Grace while Viceroy of Ireland was reduced by 7,000/. a year, yet the splendour of the Viceregal Court was rather increased than diminished during his ad ministration. His Grace had for some time before his death been labour ing under the effects of influenza, but no apprehension was entertained by his friends that the malady would terminate fatally. On Thursday morning, however, one of his suet,- dents entered his sleeping apartment at the usual hour, and, receiving no answer to his inquiries, became alarmed and called in others of the domestics, when it was discovered that the Duke was dead. His Grace is succeeded in his title and estates by Lord Prudhoe, who is next brother to the de ceased Duke, and who, until the year 1816, was known by the title of Lord Algert.on Percy.—Times. PRICE OF BREAD AND FLOUR. During the present high price of all descriptions of provi sions it is important to ascertain whether the whole of the price paid for broad. is justly due to the enhanced value of grain. For this purpose the following comparisons have been made with the prices in Paris. in which place, as well known, the price of bread is fixed by I.iw, according to a scale varying with the value of flour :—The highest price of white wheat in Paris is 56f. per 1 hectolitre, which is (Anal to 85s. 6d. per quarter; and the highest price of wheat of the first quality in London being 80s. per quarter, it follows that fine wheat is 6i per cent. dearer in Parrs than in L: radon. The highest price of flour of the first quality in Paris is 62f. 45c. per 100 kilogrammes, which is equivalent to G'R. 6d. nearly per sack of 2801 b. English weight; and the highest - price of town-made flour in London being 655. per sack, it follows that flour is 4 per cent. dearer in Lon.ion than Paris. The price fixed in Paris for bread of the first quapt:; is 51c. per kilogramme, which is equal to B%d n . p 41b. weight English; and the price of bread . i t fo r l arn a , the full-priced bakers being 10d. per 41b. f than n d i nispraartihser It tore follows,than dearer in Paris than in London, y_et r t , t 1 4 / per f() r , c t e La t t i d a o ae l u t a ir r r o e l u r , e g r i l e ? higher in price, and bread still higher, than in Paris. i‘sylto ! heat:ie F RE NCII PLAY S . —Her Majesty and' Prince Alher Morton,andattended by t Colonel b rt honoured the French lays with th. presenc e last and Captain Gordon,vooing.

AV ',\ MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the Landon New Price (Jurrent of February 12.) SUOMI. —To-day there was only a limited business trans acted in West India Sugar, although there were sellers a a further reduction in prices fig all descriptions, making the fr 11 tier the week Is. REFINED.—To-day many purchases were made in Refined G oo d s by the home trade, in consequence of there being fret: sellers of brown lumps, according to quality, at G4s to Gss 6d. Standard Lumps at 66s to 66s 6d per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar was purchased with increased freedom and at improved rates. MAURMUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was not much in demand ; and '1,190 bags at auction sold at a further decline in prices of 6ti per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon four parcels of Bengal Sugar, amounting to 5,529 bags and 203 chests, were offered at pui,lic sale, When the whole sold at 6d per cwt. under former rates. FOREIGN.—The home trade has been induced to purchase yellow Havannah with more freedom, in consequence of a reduction on last Friday's rates of 6d to is per cwt. having been submitted to. White must be quoted at 6d cheaper. With Brazil, the market having been more freely supplied, produced a fall in the value t o th e ex t en t o f I s . per cw t. COFFEE.—The market has a firm appearance for West India, a fair quaotity of the lower descriptions having been disposed of by private treaty at fully former rates; the better qualities are much wanted at the previous currency, but of such the supply is trifling. MOLASSES.—For West India further reduced rates having been taken, tempted buyers to operate with more freedom, and several parcels of good quality have been sold. The stiff rates insisted upon for Bengal Treacle operated against business privately, and 67 'Aids at public sale of fine quality were taken in at 27s per cwt. For Honey, prices are on the decline. TEA.—In Congou a good business has been transacted by the town and country trade at the former currency. Of New Tea many parcels have been disposed of,and the quality is superior to that of last season. In Pouchong the opera tions are to a large extent, and at firm rates, In Souchong the operations are upon a more extended scale, at 10d to 2s 2d, and tine at 2s 4d to 2s 10d. In Green Tea of good and fine quality a large business has been transacted, and at firm rates. Cocos.—A considerable increase has taken place in the demand for Foreign, and a rise in prices of 2s per cwt oc curred. British Plantation Is much wanted, and would bring further advanced rates, but little is to be had. RICE.—To-day all sorts of East India Rice were purchased with more freedom by private treaty, and the rates paid were 6d to is above those previously current. FRUIT.—The Currant market is in a very unsettled state; large parcels of damages continue to be forced off at public sale, of which a considerable portion has been taken by the exporters. SPIRITS.—The leading feature in the Rum market this week has been that of the Government contract for 100,000 gallons, half East and half Wcst India, which Las been taken by Messrs. Lemon Hart and Co., of London-street, at a high figure. The market for Jamaica has been in a tran quil state all the week; holders have submitted to rather lower rates. Demerara has been in good request, and brought stiffer rates. Calcutta has met with little attention. For Leeward Island the market is in a dull state. In Brandy large purchases have been made. Geneva has been in re quest. INDIGO.—To-day, during the progress of the sale 444 chests have been withdrawn, and 1,110 chests have passed. Ship ping qualities of Bengal continue to sell with spirit, at the advance previously quoted of 4d to 6d on October rates. Or dinary and consuming sorts have not sold with quite so much animation, and were in a few instances a little cheaper. Ma dras and Kurpahs brought the same advance which we have previously quoted. Oits.—This afternoon at public sale 95 tuns Southern Whale Oil 281 lOs to 31 1 for ordinary to fine, being stiff rates ; 50 tuns Seal, pale 371, brown 271 10s, which is a little cheaper; 20 tons Cod 27/ to 27155; 2.9 tuns Sperm 8815 s to 881 150, being a little cheape r CHILD D ROP G.—Yesterday the police received inforniati , n that a female infant apparently about three weeks old bad Leen found abandoned on the step of the door No. 41, Ely-place, Holborn, between nine and ten o'clock on Thursday - night, and notwithstanding i the incle old mency of the weathe , wa s barely covered with a pecc)f blanket, and an old co tton _ ca p and shift.
