The AtTORNEN-GENERAL entered one by one into the objections of Mr. C,esswcll, for the purpose of showing that these objections could not invalidate the charter. He contended that it could not be invalidated by the fact of its having been granted to a smaller district Wan that which bad petitioned, and that it would have been impossible that the charter should have followed the mode in which formerly corporations were started, but that the chartsr was a good one at common law, and was ona on which the power given by the Act had been superinduced.

Specimens of the prin t'Ple ha ve been laid down at Whitehall, Buckingham Palace, 1114 :Part of Oxford-street, between Wells-street and Newman street, which have proved its superiority over every other mode ;I wood pavement hitherto adopted. From authentic returns, Dnn aPPears the paving-rates in the Metropolis alone amount to ~..7', ° 0 01 . annually—the repairs in Oxford.street are 5,000/. rvr annum. The economy o f woo d paving on this principle, compared ie I th every other mode, ensures to this Company an ample Zuneration per square yard ; and, that their operations may carried to any extent, it is only necessary to state that the c4 as in the Metrbpolis now paved with stone and Mac ecomprise between five and six millions of e yards, for which there is no doubt wood will be sub 18‘;`utcd. removing, as it effectually does, so man y long ._lllplained-of nuisances. The wear and tear of wood pave on this principle, is imperceptible; and as the Company contract to keep their pavement in repair, it is expected that• on a moderate calculation, the Company will derive, ott 60 , L ue large amount now paid for repairs, a net rex enue of c4,..`Jui. per annum. The present orders received bf the et i"Pally amount to 20,000/.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—A meeting of the Directors of the contemplated concerts a la Junien, was held on Thursday, at which it was resolved to open the house with the projected musical entertainments, on Thursday, the4th of June. No expense is to be spared to render the house an agreeable promenade in hot weather. Several fountains are to throw their sparkling waters among the gas-lights, and growing shrubs and flowers are also to be introduced. The band is to consist of one hundred performers, and twenty-six vocalists have been also engaged. THE RECENT ELOPEMENT.—Last week we gave the particulars of an elopement; a young lady having flown " on the wings of love" (that is, in a coach) from Wor cester, to meet the fortunate object of her affections, to whom slse was united at St. Julian's church, on Tuesday. We have now to give the finale :—The newly-married couple slept at the Raven Inn on Tuesday night, and quitted it about three o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, en route to Wales. They had scarcely been gone five minutes, when the bride's brother walked in, and made inquiries after the young lady. He ap peared much annoyed at hearing that the knot had been tied, but, with much good sense, determined not to interfere, where interference would be useless. Therefore, he did not follow the lady, but returned to Worcester. We understand that the bride was not missed until Tuesday afternoon. so, as she started on Monday morning, she had full six and thirty hours' start, and, as we have seen, made good use of her time by getting married. Salopian Journal. We are informed that her Grace the Duchess of Sutherland has resigned the appointment of Mistress of the Robes to her Majesty, and that the Duchess of Bedford is to be her Grace's successor. —Morning Post. STEAM COACIL—The arrival of a steam-coach yesterday afternoon close after the day mail, which came in at a rapid pace ten or fifteen minutes before its usual time, excited no ordinary degree of interest. We understand that the con ductors started from Camberwell at five minutes before eleven, and reached Brighton at ten minutes after four. They made six stoppages to take in water, which occupied them twenty minutes each time, so that the journey, exclusively of stop pages, took about three hours.—Brighton Gazette. A TEETOTAL JACKASS.—At a recent R e a_ abite Festival, held not a hundred miles from Rasen, the chair man opened his oration in the following eloquent style, after informing his audience that he was a teetotaller : " I have a son," continued he, " who is a teetotaller. I have a man servant who is a teetotaller, I have a maid -servant who is a tee t o taller, I have two cats who are teetotallers, I have a d og and I have a long-ear'd jack ass w h o is - short, we are all teetotallers together." a t w e h e t o o is ta l e l e t r e ; e t o i t n al er, Boston Herald. (THURSDAY EVENING.) TIM E S.—To-day money has not been so much in de. mend as it was yesterday, and the English market is firmer. Consols here advanced a little, and are 92:1 to 92 afor Exchequer Moneyand Bills thi ar this Ace 22s. cou to 245. promnt,andat23( . buyers) for July. In the Foreign House there has been but little doing. Portuguese Five per Cents, maintain their price of 351 to 351. Spanish Actives are a trifle flatter, and are quoted at 28i to 281 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. arc firm at 541 to 55 ; Mexican are 324- to 32,i ; Colom bian, 261 to 26i. A transaction in Buenos Ayres Bonds gives a quotation of 18;.}. Great Western shares are rallying to-day, and leave off 261 to 271 premium--an advance of about 1. The Share Market altogether looks 'better than yesterday, and the prices for all the good lines have a buoyant appearance. Blackwall are l N to 24- premium ; Brighton, 43 to 49 dis count ; Birmingham are steady at 36 to 38 premium. HERALD.—The Funds have nearly recovered from the depression of yesterday, and Consols improved to 921 to for Money and Account. Exchequer Bills were 225. to 245. premium. Bank Stock 176 to A-. It would ap pear that whatever may be the wishes of the Bank, its power ofrestrietive action upon the circulation is in effect and must be greatly contraried by the large amounts of deposits, not only in its own holding, but in the hands of private and joint-stock banks in town and country. These owners of these deposits will, of course, be anxious for any sort of investment which may seem to promise a fair return of interest, instead of leaving their money unpro ductive in bankers' chests, where so far as they are con cerned, it may be looked upon as dead stock, or lying in a kind of mortmain security. SUN.—Everything is still very dull in the City, and attention is now directed to the probability of the cir culation of the Bank of England being contracted within such limits as will prevent excessive speculation in Stocks and Railway Shares. The Funds were not in the least affected by the re sult of Lord Stanley's motion, which is likely to prove so short-lived a triumph to the Tories, as to leave no time for a depression in prices, even were parties to be found who would " job" the market under the expectation of political changes. Consols closed this afternoon at 921 -a for present transfer, and at 93 to for July. Exchequer Bills were at 21 to 23 premium ; Bank Stock at 1761, and the New Three and-a-Half per Cents T heatlo favoura ble w 1 f r r e o m m ai s ne p d ai a n t a h b a o d u t n 4 0 t p t e h r e e la e e nt s . t effect upon the Active Bonds, which further declined M n o e ne s y from 281,- to 281 4 ; Portuguese New Five per Cents. continued at 35i ; and the other Foreign Securities were without change. The Share Market was not so animated, and prices were again heavy. The Brighton Railway Shares closed at 44 ; the Croydon Trunk at ; the Northern and Eastern at 6 ; the Midland Counties at 5 ; the South-Eastern and Dover at 101 ; the Birmingham at 11 ; the Hull and Selby at 24 ; the Gre a t N ort h o f England at 6 ; the B r i s t o l an d - Exeter at 21 discount. The Manchester and Leeds at 23 ; the North Midland at 44, the New at 11 ; the York and ditto at 194 ; the Great Western at 271, the New a t 13i ; the South-Western at 14-1, and the Blackwell at 2 prem. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (From the Morning Post.) The country has a right to expect that Vie further pro gress of Lord Stanley's Bill through the House of Com mons will not be obstructed by artifices equally foreign to the merits of that measure, to the ordinary practice of Parliament, and to the relative strength of parties who retpectively support and oppose it. Parliamentary forms of proceeding were never intended to enable a coarse and unscrupulous minority to overrule eventually the deliberate decisions of the majority of either House of Parliament, however necessary and efficacious they may be as a means of preventing an accidental and temporary majority from reaping the fruits of a victory snatched by surprise. The employment of these salutary forms for the purpose of pre venting or retarding the progress of a measure, in favour of which the majority of the House has deliberately and unequivocally pronounced an opinion, would be a manifL st abuse of them—an abuse which it is the peculiar interest of the Executive Government to discountenance, and, if pss sible, to prevent. (From the Morning Advertiser.) For the conduct of Mr. C. Wood and Lord Howick it it is difficult to account. The public rumour is, that both are on the eve of joining Lord Stanley, Sir James Graham, and their colleague renegades front the Reform camp ; but this report we do not believe. Mr. C. Wood has more sense, as well as more regard for his old friends, than to dream for a moment of such disgraceful conduct; and Lord Howick, we believe, having indulged his Com mittee fancy, will, either upon the Report of the Com mittee being brought up, or upon the third reading of the Irish Disfranchisement Bill (for so we must term it), show that he is not an unworthy scion of a noble and patriotic race. _ (From the Morning Herald.) What is the next plunge into humiliation and infamy which the Melbourne Government will be prepared to make, in obedience to the commands of its tyrant task master of Ireland, we know not. But it is difficult for any one to imagine a lower depth of shameless degradation than Ministers have allots ed themselves to be dragged into at the tail of the crafty barbarian, who insists that all the influence which the enslaved advisers of the Crown can command shall be prostituted to the perpetuation of the revolting system of fraud and perjury connected with the electoral registration of Ireland. (From the Times ) The most offensive assumptions of Mr. Daniel O'Con nell, and his most disgraceful charg es against the motives of Lord Stanley, have all been aopted by Lord John Russell, and meander through the long-winded passages of his speech. But that is not all, nor the worst. The Noble Lord has now, for the first time, given a flat contra diction to the formal assurances of the Prime Minister, that there was no political confederacy between the Whig- Radical Government and O'Connell. Lord John Rus sell, throughout his whole speech, has professed his adhe sion to the most furious diatribes of the agitator against the spirit of Lord Stanley's Bill, and the consequences which were to flow from it in its restraint upon fraud, perjury, and the fabrication of votes. Lord John Russell, with re gard to what he asserts of the curtailment of the Irish constituency by this Bill, treads in the very footsteps of O'Connell, by confounding a fictitious constituency with a teal one. Lord John Russell indirectly, therefote, affirms that fraud is a lawful and necessary element in the adminis tration of Irish affairs, provided only that the Melbourne Cabinet can be thereby maintained in office. (From the Morning Chronicle.) Lord Howick votes against the disfranchisement of Ire land, as a man of - the world ; and. or her disfranchisement, as a man of probity. Ireland will erect altars to the in tegrity of Lord Howick. It will console her in her pre sent perils to think that there is so much virtue extant as to make a Liberal Lord vote conscientiously with a Tory Nobleman, upon a question involving the life or death of her Constitution. We should like to have a specimen of this kind of a conscience for a museum of moral curiosi ties, where we should exhibit it along with Sir Francis Burdett's political consistency, and Bishop Philpotts' love of truth. Between conscientious Whigs and most unconscientious Tories, the liberties of the Irish people are in sad jeopardy. If ever there was a flagitious attack made on the rights of a people, it is the Bill which Lord Howick and his ally have suffered to escape, 'tihen they might have utterly destroyed it, by simply adhering to the line of conduct which they adopted on a former stage of its progress. Had they simply been consistent, the House of Commons would have been spared the igno miny of sitting in discussion upon a Bill subversive of the Reform Act, and fatal to the franchises by that Act con ferred. Ireland would have been saved from the agonies of suspense and the hazards of commotion. Tho career of a bigotted, haughty, malicious faction would have been stayed ; and a check would have been given also to those who, despairing of any redress or justice from the Imperial Legislature, are daily inflaming the Irish spirit with the wild ambition of overturning the Act of Union. CHURCII-RATES.—At a Petty Sessions held at Hackney on Tuesday, May 19, for enforcing payment of the Church-rate, it was stated by the Vestry Clerk that there were more than one thousand defaulters. Amongst the appellants were three Dissenting Ministers, the Rev. Dr. Cox, Rev. Mr. Fuller, and the Rev. Mr. Ransom, wko all protested against payment. Mr. Offer, the Magistrate, also a defaulter, denied the validity of the rate, in wh►ch course he was followed by Mr. ft Owen, who attended professionally for several rate payers. It was remarked by the Chaiiman, C. B. Stutfield, Esq., that to no party is the present Church-rate system a greater grievance than to theMag►strates called upon to adjudi cate in these casts. 1 1 1 1 5 5 1 1 l 1 5 5 The trial was proceeding ;vben we went to preat LATEST NEWS FItOM AMERICA. By the packet-ship, Si. James, which has just arrived at Portsmouth, we have received New York Papers of the Ist inst., and Toronto Journals of the 21st ult.

We quote from the New York Herald, of the Ist inst., the latest account of the state of the New York Money Market THURSDAY, APRIL 30, SIX P. M.-Wall-street has been rather quiet to-day, and money is scarce. This is occa sioned by the fact that to-morrow is the day on which Ale income of landlords changes hands in the shape of rent. The amount thus temporarily absorbed, added to the divi dends of institutions about to be paid over, will be front three millions to four and a half million dollars, which will seek an outlet in a few days, and have a _great effect upon the market.

Tni GLASGOW MORTALITY BILL, for tho year ending Do. comber 31, 1839. By Alexander Watt, Glasgow. Brookman, 1840. Glasgow is the only town in Scotland in which a regu lar and systematic " mortality bill" has been ever at tempted. The lAto Dr. Clclland prepared, with great labour, tables of the registered births and baptisms, mar riages, burials, &e. in that city and suburbs, and continued to do so annually, for a number of years previous to his death. In this department he has been saceeeded by Mr. Watt, who has improved upon the labours of his prede cessor, and has produced a series of tables, illustrative of the subject, which may well serve as a model for other large towns. In those relating to deaths, great rare . ap. pears to have been bestowed in order to show the vartoutt causes of mortality, and some curious facts aro stated, which may lead to important and useful medical results, particularly the fact that the deaths under five years of age amount to above one half of the whole deaths durinrthe year. The tabular form of the publication prJvciits as from making extracts ; but we recommend every persoa interested in such inquiries to peruse the work itself, in which they will also find " a comparison of the annual mortality in Liverpool and /Manchester with that of Glasgow." Lord Brougham has written to his family to state that he shall arrive in town on Tuesday next, from his chateau at Cannes. The Noble and Learned Benin, accompanied by Mr. Temple Leader, M. P., has been on a tour to Chalons-sur- Marne, Rheims, Troyes, &c., and we believe his Lordship in tends to revisit the Continent in the autumn. The Eatl of Durham has had a relapse, and is now quite unable to attend to his place in the House of Lords. The Noble Earl has not quitted his house for the last three weeks. His physicians bare recommended his taking the waters of Carlsbad ; and, if able to travel, ho will go off, with Lady Durham and his family, in about a week.—Cltronicle. His Royal Highness Prince Albert has presented Mr. Bishop with an elegant piece of plate, in testimony of his approbation of the manner in which Mr: Bishop conducted the performance of ancient music on the 29th of April, which was under the direction of his Royal Highness, whose initials are engraved under a crown and an appropriate inscription. The Lancaster and Preston Railway is an nounced to be opened on the Bth of June. THE LAW OF ROBBERY.—If in the course of a robbery a wound is inflicted upon the party robbed, by either a knife or any other cutting instrument, the offence is capital, and the culprit may be left for execution, or the Judge may order sentence of death to be recorded, which is equivalent to a sentence of transportation for life. Where a robbery is com mitted by a person armed with a stick, or any weapon of offal sive character, with which an assault is committed, the offence is not capital, but subjects the party convicted to be transported for life, or for any period not less than fifteen years, or to be imprisoned for any term not exceeding three years, a portion of which, but not exceeding one month at a time, may be solitary confinement. In both these descriptions of charges the jury is empowered to find the party accused guilty of a common as sault, if they think the circumstances warrant them in so doing. In cases of simple robbery, without any violence, the punishment is transportation for fifteen, or not less than ton years, or imprison ti m r en A t i._ for any tneri sau n t ot ex ceeding . three yea rs .

The number of persons who paid the far* on Sunday was 2,224. Since the occurrence of the unfortunate accident which happened on that day, the luggage-wiggens which had been fitted up for the temporary accommodn of passengers have been discontinued ; and carriages have already been sent for to supply their places. On Friday last Prineis George of Cambridge, the Hon. Captain Forester, and Cagtain Grey were among the passengers by the five o'eloek tram to Shoreham, from which they returned by the next train. A splendid first and second class carriage arrived at the Gloucester and Birmingham Railway Depot, near Lans downe, on Thursday last, and on Saturday they were attached to a locomotive engine, and proceeded to Tewkesbury, by way of experiment. We understand the railroad to Broinsgrove_ VV_IIL not be completed and opened by the 15th of June, as stated by some of our Contemporaries.— Cheltenham E.ram i ner. GREEN'S DISEASES OF THE SKIN.
