The object of this Company is to offer the following advantages to travellers, which have never yet been attempted:- 1. Economy of time. 2. Diminution in the expenditure of hotels, couriers, servants, &c , of at least 20 per cent. 3. The knowledge, before departure, of the exact expense to be incurred. 4 Exemption from the annoyanc's attending payments of fares by rabroad, steam-boat, hotel bills, luggage, guides, &c. 5. Protection from the loss so frequently experienced in changing money. 6. Being enabled to travel with the most perfect security and com fort through all countries, without previous acquaintance with either their language or customs. To enable the Company to accomplish these desirable results. they have m vie the necessary arrangements w:th the various hotels, the different means of conveyance, whether by steam or diligence, and the several local authorities on the continent, by which every traveller will, at his departure from London, or any place on the continent, by a preliminary payment, be fnrnished with certificates for ever, pur pose requisite on the route, for every hotel, and for every means of conveyance, which, ott presentation, will entitle the holder to be fur nished with the best accommodation at an uniform and redu..ed rate. He will also be furnished with letters of credit on every leading town on the continent, as V e ompany, in part of their arrange ments, have with the leading bankers of these places a guarantee fund always standing to their cre dit, and in every place of not a e an agent of the Company will he stationed, whose duty it will be to give every information required. The saving to the traveller will be at least 20 per cent., indepen dent of the convenience, surety, and additional comtort ; while from the arrangements made with the several parties with whom the Com pany are in correspondence, a certain return of at least 10 per cent. may be assured upon the capital invested. The deposit of Is. per share will meet all preliminary expenses, and it is anticipated that no further call than it. per share will be required to carry out the final operations of the Company. The calls will he made in instalments not exceeding 10s. each, and they will be lodged at the Company's bankers abroad, bearing in terest of 4 per cent in favour of the Company, as securities to the contracting parties for the payment of the certificates issued by the Company, and who will immediately thereupon commence their operations.

ARISS' PULAIONIC ClGARETTES.—Phy sicians have long discovered that in diseasee of the lungs and air passages, a remedy to be really efficacious must come in direct contact with the diseased organ, and this cannot take place unless it be administered under the form of vapour or smoke. The diseases in which the Cigarettes have been found so beneficial are, difficulty of breathing, tightness of the chest, spasmodic asthma, catarrhs, hoarseness, sore throats, aphony (loss of voice), ear-aches, rheuma tism of the jaws, tooth-ache, neuralgia, &c. In the first stage of consumption their beneficial effects are surprising, and in the al • vanced stages they relieve the cough, lessen the expectoration, check the night perspiration, and produce calm and refreshing sleep.

't his lady had the following letter Inserte3 in the "Times" news a; er on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan•street, Borough, takes this oppor- , tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Ilerbary, High- ' ote for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having COlll - restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four months, nd the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an if s. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, front ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, bat as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact--3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and • •irevent it turning gray, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few dro , s on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the tiost aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing )(lour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops n the crown of the hea , ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces air on children's heads in a few appplic stions. It used on infants' v e e a n d t s , c l o t i i h y s. u s l s s i u e n c such , aaps well a eculiarcsooling intlu nice on the brain as to pre promoting the growth of hair.—hoc pamphlet of testitnouiale.

SICKNESS. _IL) The affluent and benevolent are earnestly solicited to aid the efforts now making by the Managing Committee of the ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's Inn-road, a charity established for the Relief of the Foreigner, the Stranger, the Friendless, and the Outcast, when in Sickness or Disease, who are here received so far as the insane of the Institution will permit. Neither patronage nor letters of recommendation are necessary : were it otherwise, the wretched beings for whose benefit Vie Institu tion is intended would not know how or where to obtain them, and while seeking for the means of admission would, in all probability. perish unheeded and unknown; a melancholy instance of which kind gave rise to the founding of this charity. A large debt, which Is now gradually being reduced, still encumbers the operations of the Committee, but confiding in the spirit and benevolence of an English public in support or such a charity, they fearless' e continue their efforts to meet the utgent appeals daily made at their gates by the most mlsenble and wretched of the human race.

REMARKABLE CASE of RES [ORATION. A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy the detects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls, a gentleman residing at Northam, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, on returning from i larlestone Market to We , bred, where he then re sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill ness of several months' duration, during which period his hair con tinued to come off, till he became, to use his own terms, " as perlectty bald as if his head had beets shaved;" and the Rev. J. E. Daniel, then clergyman of the parish, offered Mtn a wig as a substitute for his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the effect of ROWL.AND'S MACASSA ft OIL, and it is highly gratifying to add, with ths most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was used the growth recommenced, and he has new to host of a very thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity, that, though prior to losin; his hair it evinced no tendency to curl, the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly for itself to require observation.—Hell's Messenger. RO 's LAND'S MACASSAR OIL preserves an d reproduces the Hair ; prevents it from falling off or turning Grey ; Changes Grey Hair to its Original Colour; frees it from Scurf and Dandrid, and makes it beautifully soft and early. Beware of "spurious compounds" under the title of "MA CASSAR OIL," some under the " implied" sanction of Royalty and he Government Departments, with similar attempts at deception.

The managers of this institution held their 30th annual meeting at the bank in Sektord-street, St. John's -street, on friday last ; Mr. 11. Carr in the chair. The auditors' accounts were presented and approved, and showed on the 30th November last a capital of 205,967/.. or an increase since November, 1845, of 5,4501. The number ot the deposits in the year was 14,488, and the number of new accounts 1,950. The interest received from Government was 6,4801.. an in crease on the last year of 270/. The amounts received and paid were again larger than in any former year. The interest payable to depositors is 3 per cent. (within 10d. of the limit allowed by law), and since November last the capital has been considerably increased. The increase referred to may b e attributed partly to the amo un t o f i nteres t given, and partly to the fear of those extreme fluctuations to which the public funds are liable. The average number attending weekly to deposit money has been 295, and to open new accounts 40. The annuity department continues to increase its business ; luring the past year the amount paid :for annuities was 5.9891., and the amount paid to annuitants 1,1221. While provisions ate so dear, employment scarce, and large calls are often made upon the industrious classes to is-ist their fellow-creatures in distress, it cannot but be pleasing to observe, that a bank situated as this is, g people, has not in the midst of a pt2pulation ot workin only not fallen off in its deposits, but is one of ti very few banks in London whose capital has been considerably increased. The result. is gratifying also, as exhibiting a disinclination to embark in the many specula tive schemes which are afloat to tempt the poor man to his ruin, and a steady appreciation of such benefits as are pecu liar to these institutions, namely, Government security, freedom from the income-tax, and the certainty of receiving the entire sum deposited, with interest and compound interest added ?

The prisoner had been found guilty on Thursday of entering the house of an independent old couple named Hockley, in com pany wish others, and not only ransacking the house, but ill treating the inmates in an atrocious manner, so that the life of the old lady was for months despaired of. Me was sentenced to 15 years' transportation. and was taken back to the gaol. in which extensive alterations are going on, part of it being pulled down for the purpose of introducing the separate sys tem of discipline; and it would appear, that, in the confusion of putting down a van full of prisoners in the interior yard, he managed to conceal himself amongst some of the works Or builangs. Having thus contrived to evade observation, he found little difficulty, from the state of the walls and the various scaffoldings about the building, to make good his escape when all became quiet. As soon as his escape wag discovered the county police were moving after him in all directions, and the metropolitan force were notified of it by electric telegraph, but he has not yet been retaken. This is the third prisoner who has effected his escape from the gaol during the progress of these woks, which were under tidten -through the Governintakitestinis for as improvement lir the - discipline of the prison. aliti i 11.1 cost more than au,oooz—lp•wich igipress. BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION it AILWA Y.— A crowded meeting of shareholders took place at Dee's Royal Hotel, Birmingham, which lasted from two o'clock till half past six last Saturday evening. A report, to the extent of nearly two of the Observer folio columns, appeared in that journal, in London, on Sunday morning. Thus were the proceedings of this important meeting, although not con cluded at Birmingham till half-past six o'clock on Saturday evening, within twelve hours conveyed to London, written out, composed, printed, and published in the Observer at six o'clock on Sunday morning. The public should be aware that by the Ist and 2d of George IV., cap. 78, all bills due and payable on Wed nesday next, being a solemn fast day, become due and pay able on Tuesday preceding, and in case of non-payment may be noted and protested on such preceding day, and it is not necessary to give notice of dishonour thereof, until the day after the Fast Day. The Act, however, does not extend to Scotland. DEPARTURE OF THE ROYAL FAMILY FROM THE ISLE OF WIGHT.--At a quarter before two on Wednesday, her Majesty and suite emba. ked from the beach in front of Osborne, on board the royal yacht, under a salute from Cowes Castle. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, before leaving, sent the secretary of the Royal Yacht Squadron 201., towards the Yarborough monument. BLOOMSBURY COUNTY COURT or MIDDLESEX, 17.—T0-day this court was opened at the new pre mises in Berners-street, Middlesex Hospital, before Mr. Ser geant Heath, the judge, and his deputy, under the new Act. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—On Tuesday afternoon the following melancholy catastrophe took place on the river, off the Bishop of London's pleasure-grounds at Fulham. About half-past three o'clock a young gentleman named Hatfield, a member of the St. Bartholomew's Aquatic Club, left Avis's, the Bells Tavern, at Putney, in one of Searle's outriggers, accompani e d b y Thomas y Elliott, alias Don Pedro, the coxswain of the Neptune Club, and one of the crack watermen of the Thames. At the time of starting the tide had ebbed about an hour; there was a strong southerly wind blowing, and considerable surf; in fact, a great deal too much to render it prudent to venture in a fragile thing like an outrigged wherry. The impru dence of the act was still greater, as the boat was not co vered in with canvass either fore or aft. Mr. Hatfield was in training for a match, and it was Elliott's intention to pro ceed up the river along the Middlesex shore. 'They were within twenty yards of the shore, and off the Bishop's mea dows, when the wind, as it is supposed, suddenly caught the boat on its quarter, and in an instant she upset, and Messrs. Hat field and Elliott were in the water. Mr. Hatfield, being enabled to swim, caught hold of the boat, and for some little time held up Elliott, who could not swim. His superior weight, however, compelled Mr. Hatfield to part from him, arid he sunk before assistance could arrive. The accident was witnessed at Putney, and several boats put off, but the Fulham watermen, we regret to state, exhibited the greatest apathy. Two landsmen, named Cook and Maddox, being at Putney, brought Mr. Hatfield ashore in a very exhausted state, and he was taken into the Bells Tavern, and imme diately put to bed, under the personal direction of Mr. Avi'. Men were dragging for the body of poor Elliott for an hour, when the two Robinsons and Cobb, watermen, of Putney, succeeded in finding the body, and took it to the Bells, where it was speedily stripped and examined by Mr. Cor mack, Mr. Shillito, and other medical gentlemen. The usual remedies were adopted, but all were ineffectual. The father of the deceased was drowsed at London-bridge when about the same age. _ _ FAMINE RELIEF FUND.—Wednesday the committee of the British Association for the relief of extreme distress in Ireland and Scotland made a report of the sums received, which now amounts to above 240,0001, which includes 50,000/. received front her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department, being part of the collection under the Queen's letter. ARRIVAL OF THE SARAH SANDS.—LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.—The auxiliary screw steam-ship Sarah Sands, arrived here to-day from New York, after a very fair passage of twenty-one days, considering the circumstances in which she was placed. The following is the captain's report : Sarah Sands (screw steamer), New York to Liverpool, left New York February 24, at three P.m., light wind from S.W. 25th. four P.M., air-pump broke short off, disconnected, and ran under canvass for the next four days, but the winds being light and ahead made little progress. March 2 Got up steam which carried the vessel to long. 40, when she encoun tered a succession of heavy gales from S.S.E. to E.S.E. On the 7th of March, during a gale from S.E., lost bowsprit and fore-topmast, and being afterwards sent to northward by the currants, bore away for the North Channel, previous to en tering which, finding the port air-pump lever cracking in the same place where the other broke, disconnected for twenty four hours, and put two preventer plates on it. On Sunday off Inistrahull, was in company with a large fleet of inward bound vessels, and since then beat down Channel against a strong south wind. SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—An inquest was held on Wednesday by Mr. Bedford, at the Coach and Horse, Flood-street, NVestminster, on the body of William Marshall, aged 77, a master bootmaker, of Great College street, Westminster. On last Saturday noon the deceased was crossing the carriage road in College-street, when in stepping on the kerb stone his foot slipped, and being unable to save himself fiom feebleness, he fell into the gutter on his side, by which the neck of the right thigh bone was frac tured. He was conveyed to the Westminster Hospital, w here he died on Tues da y mornin g . Verdict, "Accidental death." SonTIIAMPTON, MARCH 17.—The Royal West India mail -packet the Trent, Captain Surdie, left the river this day, 3 r.m., with mails for the West. India Islands. The Trent, since her return home on the 24th of January, has undergone a thorough repair, and yesterday went on trial trip down the river, which she performed to the entice satisfaction of the commander and engineers. The Trent has 40 passengers, 3,000/. in specie, and usual cargo. Mc Oriental Company's steam-ship Madrid, Captain Weeks, lett the docks at the same hour, en route for Gibraltar, with the Peninsular and Mediterranean mails, also 14 passengers. and a very WI ctuTO of bale god', U. PkitC - Lt EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT. Yesterday evening the fifth aunual meeting of the Ea)ly Closing Association was held at Exeter Hall; the Marquis of Westminster in the chair. . On the platform were Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P., Lord J. Manners, the Hon. W. Coe per, M.P., Mr. Moffitt, &c., and the body of the hall was crowded to excees. The SECRETARY read the report, which stated that the members of the association could point with satisfection to the change that had taken place wit h respect to the early closing movement, not only among employers, but among the public e enerally, without the limitetien of locality. In Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, 13,ightstie Bristel, Portsmouth, ,Exeter, and other important towns in the kingdom, the movement had been most successful. The mochas operandi had been to bold meetings, to circUlate pamphlets on the subject of their exertions, and to diffuse in every way information on the subject. It was also proposed to raise a fund of 5,0001., which was to be allocated for prize essays, &c., but which was now to be restricted chiefly to prize essays, which it was intended to circulate most exi ensively. With respect to the finances, there was a balance in hand. The report, after stating that the movement was not confined to any class, sex, nr locality, concluded by an energetic and eloquent appeal to the meeting and those interested in the' movement to renewed exertion.—(Cheers.) The Noble CHAIRMAN said that he accepted the cheer that they had been kind enough to confer on the earueet. and he was happy to say the successful, exertions' of those who had been engaged in forwarding . the object which they were met that evening to diicuss. The meeting which he bad the honour to address was quite as compe tent as any association to forward that object. They had heard from the report that the object fur which the association was established was progressing. Though the society did not profess to establish branch societies, there were societies with the same objects esta blished in Brightote Manchester, and other important towns, who were ready to co-operate with the present association in their endeavours. With respect to one of the towns to which allusion had been made, namely, Manchester, he would wish to make a tew observations. He was able ts . confirm the statements that had been made. That town-was always ready to do the good work. The people of se :town were .towtoleßt convulsions of trade- Th bled itrpdaratitalea,lsnt there wastuffraitir ri the inhabitants were less likely to be influenced by any in jurious operation.—(Hear.) They had given in their adhe sion to this cause. He wecld take the liberty to mention to them a circumstance which had happened to himself. He had walked from the Euston-square station to Oxford-street the otlur evening, and he fiand in that street that the shops were then closed early. The change struck him as re markable; success would be the effect produced by a simple volition, not towards evil, which would be counteracted, but by perseverieg in a course towards a good end, in which a' I parties should join tor a common advantage.—(Hear, hear.) the result produced on the people of England by conduct such as this was wonderful, and was certain to be rewarded with signal success. An Act was likely to be passed to dimi nish labour in the inanufacturing dietties. Many kind persons were of opinion that the hopes entertained respecting ',hat measure would not be realised; but in a case like the present he for one had no doubt that the favourable views in which they indulged of a successful issue would lie realised. If they were to consider of what influence and im portance the middle classes were, it would be evident that everything should be done to enable that class t retain its just position. Many of the assistants employed in this metrepelis were of respectable families in the country, whose parents were anxious that they shouldmccupy a respect able position in society. Was it not of importance that they should have an opportunity of doing so? They were aware that incessant toil was injurious to the body and debilitated the mind. It was most important that those present should bear ; in mind the statements of the gentlemen who would address them that evening, and who would give them every information on the puma question.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Owe.; moved the adoption of the report. Mr. THWAITES, in seconding the resolution, bore testimony, as a quondam assistant, to the evils of the system of late closing. The resolution was carried unanimously. Lord Jouw MANNERS said that it was most improper to put forward the objection to the adoption of the early closing system, namely, that if more time were afforded it would be abused by those who were employed in the pursuits of com merce. They ought not to suppose that there would be an abuse of that which was never afforded. He could bear testimony to what had been stated in the report respecting Manchester, for the most lively interest was felt in that town in favour of the present movement. Looking at the present state of society, he was not surprised that there should be a strong feeling on this subject. fie bad just come from a different sphere of action, but where the subject of the diminution of labour was agitated. and he had heard, only a few hours ago, the Prime Minister of that country, who adorned his office as much by his private virtues as by his public acts, state that he could not consider, as had been asserted, that the great mass of the people of this country were only born to work, eat, drink, sleep, and die, and that they should have an opportunity of attending to more than the gratification of wants merely physical. Was there anything more calculated to carry out the views of the Prime Minister than the object for which they had assembled that evening? He hoped that what had been addressed by a poet cf the sister isle, to his enthusiastic countrymen, would nut be any loner applicable to this country : " Ever to toil, ever to moil, That's your social charter ; The city slave, or rustic serf, The toiler is its martyr." —(Loud cheers's) Tht‘Noble Lord conolitelek- , by proposing the following resolution : "That this meeting. while justly proud of the pre-eminence to which the country has been raised by the iniustry, inge nuity, and enterprise of its peop'e, is yet firmly of opinion that the permanent welfare of a state cannot co-exist with an unsound mental and physical condition of large classes of the population; and that toil, protracted beyond the limi's which nature has assigned, causing lassitude of the body and dejection of spirits, is productive of such unsound condition, and cannot be advantageous either to the employer, the on. ployed, or the community at large, nor in any way necessary to support the commercial prosperity of the country." The Hon. W. CowrEß seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR, M.P., said that there was a custom at the court of the Queen, by which it was required that when a person either succcee.cled to his title, or got mar ried, or was promoted to any situation, that he should be re presented to her Majesty'on the occasion. When he first had the honour to be presented to her Majesty, he was Member for Chester; since then he had been promoted to the honour of representing the Metropolitan county, therefore, in compliance with the custom of courts, he felt bound to renew his allegiance, and to declare his unabated interest in the question which they had assembled to promote.— (Laughter and cheers.) Since the honour to which he had alluded had been conferred upon him he had not been able, by the consequent responsibilities, to give that attention to the present question which he would have desired. They might not all be aware of what the present day was the anniversary. He would beg to inform them fiat the 17th of March was St. Patrick's Day. Now, Si. Patrick was said to be celebrated for ridding 'lreland of all its veno mous reptiles. Now, he was of opinion that this statement was merely of a legendary or allegorical character, and that he (St. Patrick) was. in fact, the patron of the early closing movement, and that he was desirous of banishing the pre sent system from the country. The Noble Lord concluded by proposing the following resolution : " That this meeting deeply deplores the continued exist ence of a system of protracted labour in the shops and ware houses of the metropolis, and the country generally, which is proved, upon the concurrent testimony of all practical and observant men, to be productive of premature bodily decay, mental decrepitude, and moral deterioration, to a large and important class of the British people; and hereby expresses its conviction that a flagrant wrong is being inflicted on that class, and that it• is the duty of persons of all conditions to co-operate with the Early Closing Association in its efforts to eradicate the evil complained of, as well by pecuniary contri butions as by personal exertion." The Rev. Dr. CUMMING seconded the resolution, which was unanimously carried. Mr. MOFFAT, M.P., proposed. and Mr. NASH seconded, the following resolution, which was unanimously carried:— "That this meeting cordially approves of the principles upon which the Metropolitan Early Closing Association is established, and desires emphatically to express its sympathy with the classes in whose behalf that association is labouring. and its earnest determination to assist, both by precept and example, in putting an end to the unnecessary and perni cious custom of late shopping, especially by abstaining from making any purchases after seven o'clock in the evening, so that no inducement may be held out to employers to keep their establishments open after that hour." Mr. WYsE, M.P., addressed the meeting, after which thanks were voted to the Noble Chairman. The meeting then separated. A deputation from the Great Metropolitan Cattle Market and Abattoir Company, accompanied by Mr. Henry ' Francis Richardson, the solicitor, have had interviews this day with Lord Robert Grosvenor, Mr. B. B. Cabbell, and Mr. Mackinnon, M.P., at their respective mansions, on the subject of the removal of Smithfield Market, and the se lection of a suitable site for the new market. POTATOES.—A gentleman in India writes thus : " I wish I could send you some of our potatoes so beautiful and white. lam sure the reason the potatoes in England have become so bad is from over cultivation. All those fitie manures have altered and destroyed the natural structure of the root, and if farmers would let the ground alone, the po tato may be again plentiful and good. Some time hence they may find that not only wheat but other grain may become like the potatoes." • FATAL FALL PROM A WINDOW. —An inquest was held yesterday by Mr. Bedford, at St. George's Hospital Don the body of Henry Manby, aged 18, an apprentice tor. Bennett, plumber, of Upper Berkeley-street, Portman-square On the afternoon of the 17th ult. deceased was sent to clean the back attic window at No. 59, Upper Berkeley street, and whilst so employed a small iron balcony, fixed on the outside, on which he was standing, gave way from the brickwork, in consequence of the posts having rotted, and he was precipitated en to a lead flat, a depth of nearly 50 feet. He was conveyed to the above institution, where he died on Monday last from injury to the brain. Verdict, "Accidental death." ALLEGED MUEDES IN SHORSDITCH.—At half-past ten o'clock, Wednesday night, a fearful murder was committed by a man, named T. Brooks, an umbrella -rib-maker, residing in Shoreditch, upon William Gobert, who at the time was living with the sister of the former. The prisoner, when conveyed to the station-house, at once confessed the crime, merely assigning as a reason for its commission that had he not shot deceased, the latter would have shot him. When searched, some powder and shot were found on his person. From his statement it appears that deceased, in company with the female mentioned, entered the house and demanded s ome trifling property in the prisoner's possession. Up on being ordered to withdraw, and refusing , Brooks threatened - to lodge a bullet in the breast of deceased, and instantly fired, the shot entering on the left side of the breast; death ensued instantaneously. The prisoner is apparently under 20, and his victim ander 28 years of age. Tus NAVY.—The members of the Ro yal Navy Club had a second dinner, in commemoratio n of the battle of the Nile, on Wednesday, at the Piazza Hotel, Covent-garden, when several gentlemen of the nava l profession assembled. This old-established and national club now possesses stock to the amount of 15,400/., producing a dividend of 4621. per annum, which is appropri a t e d to the relict' of the widows and orphans of *mod umbers.

After some time e-etie avoidably consumed in presenting petitions, Mr. Den... , nistoun made a long speech, in which he come'. pensated for the obsolete character of his arguments by the . remarkably novel and erigiuel character of his concludi Age proposition. We will net trouble our readers with the par ticulars of a plan so industriously and ingeniously conipli cated that, in the judgtnent of the Hon. Meyer, it would take the whole nation a fortnight to understand. That, indeed, was its principal merit, as it afforded a pretence for that much delay, and for throwing the second reading over Easter. It was described as a system of reltys, and therefore particularly_ adapted -to.ita object, which was, thg,the eppo.e - »strati - The , the BilL should perpetually 14ot-her-in the work of resistance and di s t rac ti on . After a good deal of discussion, including a long speech from Mr. Bright, the motion was withdrawn. But, the reader will observe the re eult thus far. It was now four o'clock, and tour hours out of six had been wasted in hostile motions, and in speeches not bearing on any one proposition mere than another, but merely rambling over the generalities of the factory ques tion. At this .point, however, the fiirtune of the day turned in favour of the Dill. On the question that the Speaker do leave the chair being put, Lord John Rus sell made that statement of his views which has been so free quently demanded, but for which he had not yet found a good opportunity. With the single exception, that his Lord ship was for leaving to future legislation the step from the eleven hours' to the ten hours limit, we lave seldom read a speech to which we can accord such warm and un qualified praise. They who have so confidently challenged the Minister for his arguments will have reason to repent of their temerite. We are inclined to suspect that they have. got more than they bargained for. Every one of those hack nied ()ejections which are daily obtruded on the public with all the foppery of empiricism, the impertinence of sar casm, and solemnity of nonsense, was treated in its turn with that short and easy method which pure motives and common sense are sure to suggest. The chimeras that the proseerity and glory of this empire depend on the odd hour of labour,—that the eventual difference of productions would be really commensurate with the drop Irons twelve hours to eleven or ten,--that all the advantages we possess over other nations are not equivalent to one hour a day, that the object of the Bill is its indirect results,—that labour front five in the morning to seven at night is a natural and proper allowance of toil,—that to work, to eat, to sleep, and to die, is really all that a state should leave to the must in dustrious and deserving of its children ;—these and many other idols tbri his Lordship demolish e d w ith hi s own unapproach able suaviter in niodo and ,fortiter in re. His Lordship took a masterly survey of all those existing circumstances of manu facture and commerce, those recent enactments, and those growing ideas of society that bore on the question. It is no disparagement to the real ability of his argument, but rather its highest praise, that he brought out the case of the Fao• tory Bill as a genuine development of our social progress. With regard to this, as to many other measures, we are inclined to think that the particular date of their success depends rather on a humble readiness to acknowledge the teachings of experience and the warn ings written upon the face of human affairs than on a special power of statesmanship or forethought. Our great men are not such very great men that they should not submit to take a lesson from the humblest, and let the ' 1 little ones" of this world imitate their measures. No person of the most ordi nary candour, after reading Lord John Russell's speech, can harbour the suspicion that he is suffering the penalty of a. mere factious move in the days of opposition. If it be so. never was man se convincing and persuasive against his own inner convictions. Such a talent of duplicity, however. is notoriously not among his Lordship's gifts, He says what he thinks, and dares what be approves—a course which con tributes as much respectability to his failures as glory to his susses=. The date and the manner of the further reduction from eleven hours to ten is nee on which there has been a very great, and, we will add, a very natural latitude of opinion. The truth is that whatever is done at this moment, any change postponed for a twelvemonth is virtually resignedt to future legislation. If, what we certainly do not expert;; the women and young hulk shall be content with the bon of one hour when two hours are within their reach; the Legislatare will be happy to accommodate their industrious desires. Lord J. Russell wishes to leave the question to another year. The menufacturers, on the contrary, affect to say that now is the time for the entire reduction. if they are in earnest, they will still have the opportunity of amending the Bill in the Lords, but at present, very pro perly we think, the original chus,,•limiting the number of hours to ten, from the Ist of May, 1848, sends part of the Bill. FRIGHTFUL GIG ACCIDENT IN FLEET -STREET.--. Wednesday itAernoon, between three and four o'clock, an acci— dent ut a most frightful character occurred to a gentleman, named Saunders, wh.) was driving with a friend along Fleet street. Just as they got past Shhe-lane, the animal shyed, fell, and both gentlemen were thrown out with great force. Mr. Saunders sustained very serious injuries. He was picked up senseless, and removed into Mr. Hutchinson's surgery, in Farriagdon-street, where an extensively lacerated wound wax discovered on his forehead, besides other injuries. In about au hour after the occurrence Mr. Saunders was removed from the surgeon's to his residence. DREADFUL MURDERS OF A PAT-CLERK AND Po- LICEMAN IN KILKENNY.—The Dubai: Evening Post contains the following :—" Kilkenny, March 15. This morning,about nine o'clock, Arthur Primm, Esq., pay-clerk of the barony of Kells, was proceeding, accompanied by a policeman, to pay the people employed. About one mile from Kells, near the demesne of Chapelizod, they were attacked by six or severs fellows who fired five shots at them. and killed both. It has caused an awful sensation here. There is an account here— I hope and believe a true one—that the people turned out and pursued the murderers, and captured two of them, who had separated from the others. It is also stated that a man has been found dead in a bog near the same place, supposed to have been shot by the policeman. The murderers did not get the money (2501.) in possession of the pay-clerk, I be lieve, as the horse, through fright, gallopped on to Kells.'• EXECUTION 01' THE Two NORTHUMBERLAND MUR. HERERS. —James Welch and George Matthews (both Irish m. n) on Wednesday morning underwent the sentence of the law at the county gaol at Morpeth. The former, it will be re.. membered, was convicted of the murder of Th omas Proud, on the 7th of last month, in tl.e neighbourhood ot New borough. The unfortunate victim of the culprit was a la bouring man. He had invited several of his neighbours to the christening of one of his children. Welch, who was ex cited by liquor, insulted him and the women who were with him, and particularly one Mary Ann Toward, who refused his advances. A scale ensued. Proud and Toward endea• voured to get away, but Welch overtook them and stabbed Proud with a long-bladed knife in the back of his neck, of which wound he died immediately. Matthews was employed. on the railway being formed between Newcastle and Ber wick, and his victim, Daniel Hives, worked on the same line. Matthews and another man, Hughes, on the sth of last Os tober, were beating the deceased, who called out to a Cap tain Potts, who witnessed the attack, to protect him from being murdered by the two Irishmen. Captain Potts sup ported him, and whilst so doing, Matthews slyly walked past and stabbed hives in the abdomen with a knife, which he drew from under his frock. The juries in both cases,- after returning verdicts of "Wilful Murder," recommended. the pr;soners to mercy, and a memorial was forwarded to the Government praying a commutation of the sentences. The conduct of Welch after sentence was that of the most har dened and impenitent culprit. Matthews, on the codeary, appeared duly impressed with the atroc it y of his crime, and was very attentive to th e e xhortations of the Catholic cler gyman, the Rev. G. A. Lowe. St. Patrick's-day being the day appointed for the execution, it was supposed some dis.. turbance might be occasioned by the countrymen of the par ties condemned ; a strong body of police was consequently in attendance, but nothing of the sort took place. Welch when on the scatibld appeared more affected than his pre vious behaviour had led people to anticipate, and died ire ploring the Divine mercy. This wretched man was only 22 years of age. His fellow criminal, Matthews, was in his 20th year. HUNGERFORD SUSPENSION BRIDGE STEAM-BOAT PlER.—Wednesday the long pending dispute between the Ilungerford Market and Bridge Companies was brought to an amicable termination, the Market accepting the Bridge Company's proposal. A space six feet in width is now railed. off on the west side of the bridge, from the north turret to the market termination, for the use of ateatn-boat passengers, who will, in the course of a few days, be able to land and em bark from these vessels, and pass over the Suspension Bridge without being subject to any charge. THE NAVIGATION-LAWS. A meeting was held on Wednesday at the Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge, to and t ry . w h T o h he lidersothuat c onsider the question of the navigation-laws. Th e t wo f i rst a re solutions:were to the effect that the repeal of th e navigation law w ould m ovproveethreui third ou ruinous resolution,to theco co untry. ap pointeds to re solution in his possession, was called upon to perform his duty, when, to the dismay of the chairman, and the amuse ment of the meeting, it was found the " gentleman" had absconded, carrying the r eso l u ti on with hi m.. now got up to make some objections to the reso l u ti ons sharplyormed by the ch a ir man t h at adopted, but he was informed the meeting was convened for a specific purpose, and that if he had anythi ng to sayagainst that purpose he had better take the room f or th e _ n ext evening. Another speaker thought it very ungentlemanly conduct on the part of the chairman to refuse to hear the objections. At this the chairman seised his hat, and, vowing vengeance on the " person who had in - I suited him," precipitately left the platform. A vote of thanks to the chairman for his " impartial " conduct closed the meeting. MR. O'CONNELL'S HEALTH.—We have been in formed that the health of the Hon. and Learned Member for Cork has not much improved, if at all, since his arrival at Hastings. The only benefit which the change of air has produced is, that he seems in somewhat better spirits. With this exception, however , he is, we a re informed, in much the same state of health that he was in before he left torn. Although there are other accounts given of the Hon.. Gentleman's health, we have reason to believe that this in the true one.
