A meeting of the members of the Irish party was held ja il! the office of the Great Munster Railway Comp any, ment-street, at two o'clock, this day; Lord Monteagle in the chair. The following noblemen and gentlemen IveT . e in atten: anc - e:—Marquis of Sligo, Earl of Mountcashel, _Lord Massa. rene, Vi scou nt Bernard , M.P., Sir Arthur Brooke, M.P., W. S. O'Brien M.P., P.

After a lengthened discussion on the medical charities in Ireland, the following resolutions were agreed to : "That whatever be the future system for the relief of the siek poor, it is our opinion that it is essentially necessary to provide by law for a strict and complete inspection of all the medical clarifies in Ireland." "That the Chairman be requested to communicate this resolution to Mr. Labouchere." The Landed Property Improvement Bill was then dis cussed, and suggestions made for alterations in several of its clauses; after which the meeting adjourned. The future meetings of the members of the Irish party are to be held at 16, King-street, St. James's. ROYSTON AND HITCHIN RAIL WAY.—(THIS DAY.) The half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held to-day, at Radley's Hotel, New Bridge street, Blackfriars; Lord Deere in the chair. After the usual preliminaries, The CHAIRMAN said—Before calling on the secretary to read the report, he thought it necessary to say that the num ber of shareholders present was not to be taken as an evi dence of the amount of shares held, for they far exceeded the number required to constitute a meeting. The SECRETARY then read the report, which stated that the directors, in accordance with the powers given them at the last half-yearly meeting of the proprietors, had concluded arrangements with the Great Northern Railway Company, and that in consequence of the abridgement of the line by Parliament, the capital to be called up for the purpose of constructing that portion of the railway then sanctioned would amount to 200,0001., being 6/. ss. per share. The agreement with the Great Northern Company provided for an application to Parliament for powers to lease the railway to them, the company (this being obtained) to execute a lease in perpetuity at an annual rent of 12,000/., being six per cent. on the capital before stated, the rent to commence on the opening of the Great Northern Railway from London to Ilitchin, or on the 16th of July, 1849, the interest of five per cent. to be paid on the deposit and calls in the interim. The agreement also provided for an appli cation to Parliament for an extension of the line from Roy ston to Cambridge. The agreement contained a clause giving power to the Great Northern Company, on giving three months' notice to redeem, the annual rent or dividends at 50 per cent. premium on the share capital. The report, after congratulating the meeting on the arrangement that had been made with the great Northern Company, and alluding to the death of one of the directors, P. M. Stewart, Esq., M.P., in whose place had been elected Francis Parker, Esq., of Manchester, recommended that the number of directors should be in creased from fourteen to eighteen. The report concluded by stating that the directors were proceeding with the purchase of land for the construction of the railway, which would be completed by the Ist of May, 1849. An abstract of the receipts and payments of the company, since its formation, was then submitted to the meeting, from which it appeared that the expenditure was 25,1211. 18s. 5d., which left a balance in the banker's bands of 2,7681. 16s. 11d. The CHAIRMAN said it appeared to him that the report was so detailed, clear, and circumstantial, as to render any remarks from him quite unnecessary. But he was quite ready to elucidate any point that might require explanation. He would, therefore, move the adoption of the report. Dr. Sow seconded the resolution, which was carried una nimously. M. J. Underwood was re-elected as auditor, and Messrs J. Arbouin, W. S. Boyd, T. Pym, and Captain J. M. Laws R.N., were elected directors in conformity with the recom mendation of the board. A special meeting was then held to consider the agreement made with the Great Northern Company. The SECRETARY read the agreement together with the draft of the two Bills. The agreement was unanimously sanctioned. Mr. LEECH proposed and Mr. UNDERWOOD seconded a vote of thanks to the chairman and the other directors, which was also carried unanimously. The meeting then separated. TATTERSALL'S-THIS EVENING Six O'CLOCK.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius before the LORD CHIEF BARON and Special Juries.) Several cases were disposed of during the day, none of which, however, presented any features of public interest. The Court of Exchequer commence their sittings in London to-morrow. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice COLTMAN). CRIM. CON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, the landlord of the Jolly Butchers public-house, Newport-market, St. Martin's-lane, against Dlr. Moore, a print seller, in the same locality, for damages for the seduction of his wife. Mr. Sergeant ;Byles and Mr. Bramwell appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Pigot for the defence. Mr. Sergeant BYLEs opened the case for the plaintiff, going over the evidence he intended to adduce. He stated, that in 1831, the mariage of the plaintiff to his wife took place, and that they lived together fur many years in a comfortable state. A short time ago he took the Jollytutchers public-house, and then commenced the intimacy which had led to the present action. The defendant had been in the habit of attending the house, and the result was an estrangement of the wife's affec tions, which ended in the neglect of her child, and her ulti mate elopement with the defendant. The result was, the plaintiff neglected his business, and acquired habits of in toxication, so affected bad he been by the conduct of his wife, and now the onty course left him was to recover damages for the injury done in a court of law. Several witnesses were called to prove the marriage of the parties, and that they had for some time lived together in a comfortabie manner. Catherine Ryan was the first material witness called. She had been servant at the Jolly Butchers, and deposed that the defendant was in the practice of attending the public house, and that she had noticed several acts of intimacy between plaintiffs wife and the defendant. She further stated that various quarrels took place between them , which ended in their separation about Christmas, 1845. In cross-examination, the witness stated that the plaintiff often struck his wife, and was in the habit of getting repeat edly drunk. John Cooke, a butcher, in Newport-market, who had been i n the practice of attending the Jolly Butchers, gave evidence to a similar effect ; and further, that on one occasion, in December, 1845, he had late at night seen the defendant and plaintiff wife come out of' a house of ill fame together. Joseph Bates, a nurseryman, near Oxford, stated that he had waisted the plaintiff in getting up the case. He had done so because he had been in town on business, and had known the plaintiff before. When the plaintiff's wife left, the plaintiff did not know where she had gone to, and wit ness endeavoured to find her out. After some difficulty he traced her to a house in Islington, where she was living with the defendant under the name of Mrs. Moore. Harriet Willis stated that she lived at 35, Charlotte-ter. race, Islington. She let the first floor of her house about Christmas M 1845, to a lady who called herself Mrs. Moore. A gentleman named Mr. Moore came often there and slept with Mrs. Moore. They passed as map and wife. The defen dant had that morning been pointed out to her outside of the wart, and it was the same gentleman as lived with Mrs. Moore at her apartments. Mr. Kingdom, the plaintiff's solicitor, proved having pointed out the defendant that morning to the previous wit sass, in order to identify him. This was the case for the plaintiff. Mr, COcKnuaN, for the defence, said that after the evidence of the witness, Mrs. Willis, he had no intention of opposing a, verdict for the plaintiff, but the question to which he would address himself, would be that of damages, which, he submitted, should be only nominal. Though he admitted that Mrs. 11 _,!"kee had lived under the protection °tithe defendant after I*"s had been turned off, yet he was instructed to repudiate the evidence of the witness Cooke, and to deny that any criminal intercourse had ever taken place while under her husband's roof. The Learned Gentleman then went on to show that the 1 though he w as in up to the time of his wife leaving, never imputed th e ' h abit of continually Musing her, he anythi ng wrong to the defendant. He would further prove that notonly up till the period of Mrs. Moore leaving, but for many months after, -he was in the habit of con tinnally receivi ng l oans of money from the defendant ; and that not till after Mr. t are had refused further sums, was there a wor d the present action. 4e the very time, therefore, that hetw his to be droop egg Pway and withering on account of i s wife' s faithless the injured husband was drawing continu ally only when the latter would from the bleed seducer'e exchequer, and did lie think of recovering damages in no more, ill -usage of the plainti ff to his wife tof law. The befo re she left could not, therefore, arise from his belief i that the f it did, then de fendant had sedu ced her, or, f h he was the most crawling w retch upon the ace o t e earth t o co i n money, as n done, f seduction — lu st have out of the of his wife. lied in support of those allegations, Several witness were ca b f he took the Jolly proving and e ore proving that for many y habit of getting drunk and Butchers, he he had been in the points relating to ad using w if e, and also on the other I • t'ff using his vances of money by the defen ds from the defendant so former had received sums of money ths after plaintiff's wife late as in Jim last: and about six mon had left, and placed hi.- self under the protection of the defendant.

FACTORY BILL. Sir W. JAMES wished to know whether it was in tended to make any change with respect to the educa tion of factory children, and to employ the female chil dren in print-works? Sir G. GREY, who spoke in so low a tone as to be scarcely audible, was understood to say that, with re ference to the first point, the education of children in print-works, it was unanimously recommended that such education should be afforded. With regard to the second question, the subject was under con sideration, and a Bill would be brought in upon the subject. With regard to the third point, he was not prepared, in the absence of further information, to give a decided answer. Mr. BRIGHT understood that there was a clause in• troduced in the Bill which the House had under consi deration that fully met the object of the Hon. Member's second question. Sir G. GREY said there was a general report of the factory inspectors, recommending that certain portions of machinery should be cased in to prevent accidents. That recommendation was under consideration. THE POOR IN IRELAND. Lord GEO. BENTINCK wished to ask some ques tions of the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer with reference to the Board of Works in Ireland, and the employment of destitute persons in that country. The first question which he wished to ask was— What was the average weekly amount paid to each officer of the Irish public, the number of whom were 11,587; what were the highest and lowest rates of wages paid to the officers of those works; what was the gross amount of maintenance connected with the Board of Works during the month of January last; the gross extra expenditure con nected with these works as regarded clerks, &c.; the gross cost of maintaining the destitute poor since January, the quantity of corn bought by Government for that purpose and the quantity in bond; and, lastly, what was the ratio of the expenditure of the staff as at present existing in proportion to the persons employed ? Sir GEORGE GREY was unable to give the answer to the first question of his Noble Friend in detail as respected the poor in Ireland. The first question put as to the weekly amount of the money expended for the relief of the destitute poor in Ireland, and the answer to that question was, according to the returns, 88,5871. The next question as to the number of the persons employed on those works otherwise than labourers. According to the returns of the officials, employed on these works, was 486, and the namber of persons employed as labourers on those works was 10,897. The daily pay of those persons is 2,7741. The Noble Lord then asks the amount of the weekly pay of those persons, and if he would multiply this amount by six he would find what the aggregate amount was. If the Noble Lord would turn to the same blue book, page 19, he would find that the highest pay of the engineer was 30s. a-day, with 10s. for travel ling expense., with an addition of 10s. per day when they were out. The lowest pay was for the surveyor of the works, which was 2s. per day. The Noble Lord then asks, what is the actual cost of these works, and the maintenance of those who were engaged to survey their execution. To this he might reply that the actual cost was 2,7001. per day, and the general average of the week was 78,0001. To the Noble Lord's inquiry as to the expenditure during the month of January he could not reply, but the expense during the four weeks of December was upwards of .71,0004 He was not in a condition to say what the extreme expenses were, but he might say that the actual pay of the workmen was from Bd. to 10d. a day, and the extretnest points ranged from Bd. to Is. 4d. for the daily pay during the three months of November, De cember, and January, for the relief of the destitute poor. The expenditure upon labour for four weeks in the month of November was 318,3511. For the first four weeks in the month of December, 588,0451., and for the nine weeks of December and January it was 1,500,0001. The amount of corn in bond during those periods amounted to 218,000 quarters.---(Hear, hear.) Mr. P. SCROPE gave notice that to-morrow he should ask a question of the Government, whether, under the pre sent law, the Board of Guardians in Ireland were respon sible for the relief of the poor ? and if they were, whether the guardians of Castlebar ought not to be prosecuted under the law by her Majesty's Attorney-General, and if they were not whether any steps would be taken to render them responsible in future. OPERATION OF THE PUBLIC WORKS BILL. Mr. ROEBUCK stated that he had a petition to pre sent from a poor man named John Hogan, residing in Dare in the county of Limerick, and which made out rather a curious case of hardship under which he was suffering. lie stated, in the petition, that his family, a short time since, were in number 4, and he, with his son, were employed on the public works by the agents of the Government. He had the misfortune to lose one of the members of his family—a daughter ; and in con sequence of his loss he was dismissed from the works ; he and his son having been employed for some time on them. His son only was retained. Under this singular case of :hardship he applied to the Board of - Relief, and their answer was that they could not relieve him. The petition went on to say that it was lamentable to allow such determined oppression to be exercised upon a poor family who had not a single perch of land, whilst there were instances to be found in the locality of people who had land and corn, and also money in the savings bank, working on these works, and sent there by their landlords for the purpose of enabling them to pay their rent better. Colonel RAWDON presented a petition from Armagh in favour of tne Bill introduced by the Noble Lord the Member for Lynn. The Marquis of GRANBY hoped that the House would extend its indulgence to him whilst he endea voured to make some observations upon the measure now under the consideration of the House. He could assure the House that it was his anxious desire to ab. stain from saying anything which could excite a personal feeling. He hoped that he might be allowed to say, that he heard with the deepest regret the determination which the Noble Lord at the head of the Government had come to respecting this measure, for he had hoped from the assurance his Noble Friend had given to the Noble Lord at the head of the Government, that he proposed this measure, not in hostility to her Majesty's Ministers, but as a means of facilitating the carrying out of the measures proposed by the Government. The Noble Lord the Member for London said he could not support the Bill, and also expressed his determination, if defeated on it, that he would resign.— (Hear, hear.) He (the Marquis of Granby) was quite sure the Noble Lord was actuated by high and patriotic motives ; but he regretted the determi nation, as he believed it would be for the injury of Ireland. He would not go into the compara tive merits of the Government and the Bill now under consideration, as he did not think the two schemes were incompatible.—(Hear, hear.) In considering any plan of relief for Ireland, he would not enter into the causes that had brought about the present state of that country. Whether it had arisen from unwise legislation, or from the conduct of absentee landlords ; whether it arose from any peculiarity of disposition in the Irish people, or the system of letting land which prevailed he would not affirm, but this he would say, that there was only tws practical modes of meeting the evil ; either by a diminution of the population, or an increase of capital. There was no other remedy.— (Hear, hear.) Now the Noble Lord, the Member for the City of London, had said, that he had no Government or general plan of emigration. Though he (the Marquis of Granby) thought a good deal might be done in that direction, still he did not think it would be a cure for the evils which afflicted Ireland. The next course, therefore, was to introduce capital into Ireland, and as from the state of the country and the want of confidence, from whatever cause which prevailed in regard to it, private individuals were not prepared to introduce capital, the Bill of the Noble Lord the Member for Lynn would be the effectual means of doing so. His Noble Friend had shown so clearly the benefits that Ireland must derive from that measure—he had stated so eloquently the employment it would give—the new mark ets it would open, the increased value to that coun try in the most essential points. The benefit the poor man would derive, not only from the employment it would give, but from the industrious habits t 1 would cherish, by attaching him fully to the comforts of his home, that he thought it would be one of the most desirable measures ever proposed.—(Hear.) He would refrain from expressing any opinion of his own, but he might be permitted to quote the opinions of others. He would call the attention of the House, in the first place, to a memorial presented to Lord Besborough in 1846. The memorial was from the inhabi tants of the City o f D u bli n, w h ose op i n i ons certainly N obl o e ug L b o t rd here tobe considered eed which, .stated that the memorialists were awar e o f the strong opinion of the country to promote railway enterprise, from which they expected the greatest pos sible good would result ; that the 40,000 persons were employed by the works then in operation ; and pressing the matter warmly on the attention of his Excellency. He was not arguing that in a country where employment was ample, where food was abundant, where artificial wants had already been established, where happiness and abundance reigned—he was not arguing that in such a country as that they might Rot quicken the pulse of that country to a feverish and unhealthy action; but what he was say ing was this, that in the present low and unfortunate condition of Ireland a s y stem of railways well carried out might produce the most important benefits. Amongst the other important effects a system of railways must have in Ireland at the present moment, he thought would be the means of faci a !Hating the transference of fish throughout Ireland. He held in his hand a letter he had received from a gentleman in Ireland who was well versed on this sub ject, arid for whose talents and integrity he could vouch. It was nut, however, written for the purpose of assisting the Noble Lord's motion, because it was dated and he received it so far back as the end of October, 1845. The writer said, that at the end of October, 1845, he was in Galway, and was much interested with the proceedings of the Claddagh fishermen. The herrings were on the bank, and he observed at leastra thousand boats shoved out to sea. The com munity were under the direction of a king, whom they obeyed more implicitly than any other monarch. The thousand fishing boats brought in, on an average, 8,000 herrings, which sold at the rate of 103. a thou sand, or 120 for Is. This number was equally divided among the fishermen, and before the close of the day they were sold to purchasers who attended with horses and carts, to hawk them over the country. Eight thousand herrings at 10s. per thousand came to 41. per brat, and the gross amount was, therefore, 4,0001. per day. The shoals of herrings continued off the head of the bank; but the King of Claddagh would not allow any of the fishing boats to go out until the hawkers returned.—(Sear, hear.) Thus LEITH AND CRANTON JUNCTION. In this opposed case it was decided that the:standing ordres had not complied with in one or two instances. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY—ILFORD TO TIL BURY FORT AND SOUTHEND, WITH A BRANCH. In this case the opposition was withdrawn, and the custo mary formal proofs having been put in, the standing orders were declared to have been complied with. GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY—DEVIATIONS BE TWEEN PETERBOROUGH, BOSTON, AND DON CASTER. In this case also the opposition was withdrawn, and the standing orders complied with. Adjourned till to-morrow. IMPERIA L PA RL lAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock. WOLVERHAMPTON RATES BILL. On the; motion of Mr. I3ROTHERTON, this Bill was read a second time. WOLVERHAMPTON GAS BILL. On the motion of the same HON. MEMBER, this Bill was also read a second time. ___ _ SHEFFIELD MARKETS BILL. On the motion of an Hort. MEMBER, this Bill was read a second time. LEITH HARBOUR DOCKS DUES. This Bill was also read a second time. SHEFFIELD CANAL BILL _ _ - ------.--- Mr. PARKER moved the second reading of this Bill. Lord MORPETH was of opinion that this Bill should not be proceeded with any further. In the year 1815 the Sheffield Canal Company purchased the lands and tenements of the river Dunn navigation, subject to the expense of repairing the roads in the district- In the year 1836 a similar Bill to the present was introduced, which was negatived, on a division on the second reading, by a majority of 36. The Bill was afterwards thrown out in another session by the recommendation of a Committee appointed to inquire into the subject. He thought it was hard that the townships should be called upon periodically to oppose this Bill. He would, therefore, request the House not to allow the Bill to pass through any further stage. Mr. PARKER said that clauses might be introduced in Committee on the Bill for the protection of the town ships referred to by the Noble Lord. Mr. B. DENISON said that there was a strong case for refusing to read the Bill a second time. A railway company had now purchased the canal company, with all its responsibilities, and they now sought for a Com mittee, in order to throw off themselves the obligations they had entered into with their eyes open. Mr. BROTHERTON thought there were ample grounds for this Bill going into Committee. Captain EGERTON said that he had been very strongly canvassed to come down to the House to support the second reading of the Bill, and a statement had been put into his hand, a perusal of which had induced him to come down and resolutely to oppose the further pro gress of this Bill. Mr. S. IVOR I'LEY said, that in consequence of the Learned Counsel who had chargo of the interests of the promoters of the Bill, not having been able to attend before the Committee, and the conduct of the case being left to a junior, it was no wonder that the Committee should not be able to understand the nature of the Bill, and that it was summarily dismissed. He hoped that the House would allow the Bill to be read a second time. Mr. STRUTT thought that the Bill ought to be al lowed to be read a second time, on the ground that the Bill did not receive a full and perfect hearing before the Committee upon the occasion when it was referred to them. Mr. STANSFIELD opposed the further progress of the Bill. Mr. WARD hoped that, after the speech of his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Strutt), they would allow the Bill to be read a second time. The points under discussion might be considered in Committee. Mr. E. DENISON thought that this would be a most unusual step. He would oppose the further progress of the Bill. Lord MORPETH would press the matter to a divi sion, even after the speech of his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Strutt). The House then divided, when there appeared, For the second reading 3B Against it Majority against the second reading The Bill was consequently lost. SECOND READINGS. The following Bills were read a second dime:— Birkenhead Improvement (Waterworks and Purchase of Birkenhead and Claughton Waterworks). Bristol and Clifton Oil Gas Company. British Exchange Company. Caledonian Railway (Edinburgh Station and Branches to Granton, &c.) ' _ Eastern Counties Railway Extension (Cambridge to Bedford, &c.) Eastern Counties Railway (Cambridge, Royston, and Ware line, &c.) Glasgow, Paisley, and Greenock Railway (Branches at Port Glasgow, and to the Caledonian Railway and Diversion of Canal). Leeds, Wakefield, and Midland Junction Railway. London and North-Western Railway (Bescot and Wolverhampton Branch, &c.) London and North-Western Railway (Ormakirk and Rainford Branch, &c.) Plymouth and Tavistock Turnpike Road. Salisbury and Yeovil Railway. Whiteburn and Kelso and Lauder and Kelso Roads. Tavistock Turnpike Road. RAILWAYS IN IRELAND. Mr. B. OSBORNE gave notice, that in the event of the Bill to stimulate the profitable employment of the Poor in Ireland on Railways, introduced by Lord George Bentinck, being thrown out, he should move the fol lowing resolution—" That is the opinion of this House that one of the real means of promoting the profit able employment of the people, and of developing the resources a Ire/and, is for the Government to make advances to such railways in Ireland as shall, in the judgment of the Railway Commissioners, be works likely to be of permanent utility, and calculated to en tail no lasting burden upon the country. Dr. BOWHING moved that the petition from Malta, dated the 12th of February, be printed with the Votes. CASTLEB - AR 'UNION. Lord DUNCAN said that, seeing the Right Hon. Gentleman, the Secretary for the Home Department, in his place, he rose to ask a question respecting the Castlebar union. From a report published in the papers this day, it appeared that the Lord-Lieu tenant had dismissed twelve magistrates for being guardians of this union. Ho asked if the re port was correct, and also what steps had been taken to supply the places of the dismissed guardians, and whether any instructions had been given to recover the 1,079 L of poor-rates due as arrears. Sir G. GREY said it was quite true the guardians of the union had been dismissed, but it was not by the Go vernment or the Lord-Lieutenant, but by the Poor-law Commissioners, st in whose hands the power rested. The guardians require, en s should according imm edia immediately el e ec p ti t o a n ke o n fe th p a l t a a ce f , r a e n sh d if those do not disc harge their duty, then the Poor-law y la t w ak Commissioners w o u ld appoint paid guardians. He had not received notice of the question, or else he would have brought the letter of the Poor-law Commissioners with him ; but that, with the other papers respecting the Castlebar Union, would be placed on the table of the House in a few days. Mr. P. SCROPE wished to know if it was the inten tion of the Government to prosecute the guardians for their heinous neglect of the poor? They had refused out door relief under the most distressing circumstances, and a hundred persons bad :died in the workhouse, on which inquests had been held. Sir GEORGE GREY replied that he was in posses sion of no information at present as to what course would be taken. Mr. SCROPE said that perhaps the Attorney. Gene ral would answer the question. Mr. F. FRENCH said, the Hon. Member (Mr. P. Scrope) should have given notice of his question, and the Irish Members would have been prepared to answer it. THE WELLINGTON STATUE. Mr. CRAVEN BERKELEY wished to ask the Noble Lord, the head of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, whether any application had been made by the committee of the Wellington statue to remove the scaf folding around it, and at whose expense the same was to be effected ? Lord MORPETLl—Directions had been given to the sculptor to remove the remaining portion of the scaffold ing, which prevents the view on the north side, as they conceived a sufficient view was not obtained at present. —(Laughter.) Certainly they (the Government) thought a sufficient view had already been obtained. The question was before the subcommittee and the sculptor. The sub-committee had stated, that after removing a portion of the scaffolding, if it should be opposed to the views of the Goternment to have the statue remain, they would remove it. The Government was of opinion that the northern side of Waterloo-place would be the best site. Mr. MACKINNON would ask the Noble Lord (Morpeth) if h e was aware that i t was cons ide red . an indignity to rem ove s t atues d ur i ng t h e lif e t ime o f those whom they were intended to honour? Was the Noble Lord aware that in Pompeii some statues were placed up on arches, and in almost exactly the same posi tion as that of the Wellington statue.—(Laughter.) Lord MORPETR—With respect to what the Hon. Gentleman stated, it could not be supposed in the present state of public opi n i on to remove the statue, and with respect to Pompeii , it could not b e supposed tb;t art 1, owno - si ivi o D le ill V it! Iv N FR B R R - _ four days elapsed ; anti on the evening of the fourth day the horses raid carts arrived, and tha fishermen again put to sea. It was plain that if raways had existed 4,000/. worth of herrings might have been fished on each day, and con veyed throughout Ireland and to Dublin. Thus, for want of railways many thousands of pounds were lost, and the evil was the more felt became for want of these railways no curing was carried on in consequence of the very high price of salt. It had been objeeted to the plan of his Noble Friend, that there would be such difficulty in carrying it out, that they would never raise the 1 6,000,000 L, and that the plan would therefore be refused. But he did not think that this country was in such a condition that the sum could not be raised. He would not obtrude any opinion of his upon the House, because it would be of no avail, but he did understand from a friend of his who was well ac quainted with the finances of the country, that it was preposterous to suppose that four millions of money could not be raised in this country during the year 1647, for the relief of the destitute poor in Ireland. Another objection was, that the people of England would object to the imposition of a tax for the relief of the people of Ireland. The Noble Marquis then read a series of extracts from the account of a friend, which stated that on last Monday morning there were no less than 44 corpses lying dead in one house, and that over one hundred bodies had been deposited in the small burial grounds of Skibbereen and the neighbouring places, and that in those places no less than 401 bodies had been found apparently dead from starvation, and that not less than 1,600 victims to this terrible calamity had fallen within these few months.—(Hear, hear.) Would the people of England refuse assistance in such a case as this, or hesitate at any measure calculated for the effectual relief of the poor in Ireland. He was quite sure that at the present moment no such measure would be refused for the people of Ireland, and the only difference be tween the plans of the Noble Lord opposite and his Noble Friend was, that the latter would enable the Government to use the resources of the Government, while the former would not. The Right Hon. Gentleman had said that some time must elapse before the railways could be formed, and that during that time no return for the money would be coming in. He did not see the Right lion: Gentleman in his place then, but he was quite sure that he would be very glad to hear that no such circum stance did occur, for there was a clause in the Bill which provided that the interest of the money should be paid by the Irish railways. This was not all —he would go further—ho could prove that not only would Hot a single farthing come from the pockets of the English people, but it would put money into the Treasury. He would take a passage from the Spectator of last week, and he supposed that gentleman could not suspect it to be a paper likely to be unduly influenced by his Noble Friend or his party. It said that it was not only the magnificent pro mises which could be seen in the proposition of the Noble Lord, or in the elaborately lucid sp ech of the proposer. It was the specific nature of the object at which he aimed, and the explicit account of the way in which the plan was ex pected to work. In all these respects the plan stood in formidable opposition and contrast to the plan of the Ministry. It was like the substance placed op posite to the shadow. They had there laid down all the Noble Lord's data—they might be dis puted, they might be falsified, but, then, they were challenging scrutiny. These Chancellors of the Ex chequer had got up one after the other, and not one of them had attempted to deny any important fact or state ment of the Neble Lord's.—(Hear, hear.) His Noble Friend had said in his speech that there would be 600,0001 or 700,000/. put into the Treasury from the increase of the Customs and Excise under the operation of the Bill, and could they say that that was no advantage to the people of England. (LEFT SPEAKING) HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships met at the usual hour. POOR REMOVAL ACT. Lord POWI'MAN presented a petition from the inha bitants of Blandford, in the county of Dorset, in vestry assembled, praying their Lordships to amend the law passed last session relating to the removal of the poor. Lord MONTEAGLE moved for a reprint of the re port of the Poor-law Commissioners of 1834 relative to out-door relief ; also for a reprint of the report of the Irish Poor-law Commissioners on the same subject. Ordered. . _ operatlims of the Bank of England, and these very persons might take steps to neutralise these operations. country, and let them suppose a motion made for re turns either of the amount of Exchequer-hills or of stock, they must see that the effect of that would be to communicate to persons without inquiry. The great press of railway business was now over, next year there would be no railways brought before the House, and now that the steed was stolen, the Govern ment were very carefully manufacturing a lock and key, in order to prevent any others from being stolen. Lord ASHBURTON then consented to postpone his motion until Thursday next. It was nut his intention to create the slightest alarm in the country ; his object was only to obtain information upon an important subject. _ _ _ The real gist of the question was, how far the Bank of England had been compelled to reduce its general issues in consequence of its present drain upon the circulation, thereby preventing its being able to take up the Exche quer bills as formerly? He did not think that the Bank of England would have any objection to grant the re turns he had moved for. DISTILLATION FROM SUGAR BILL. Messengers from the Commons brought up the dis tillation from Sugar Bill. INFLUX OF IRISH PAUPERS INTO LIVERPOOL. Earl FITZWILLIAM moved for a return of the number of Irish paupers that had lately arrived in Liverpool. On the 7th of February, 2,585 had arrived in one day, and the total number from the 13th of Jan. to the 11th of Feb, 27,012. It appeared that in one day, the 26th of Jan., 25,529 had received relief ; on the 27th, 23,313 ; on the 28th, 24,000 ; and on the 29th, 24,000. During the last ten days the number had considerably decreased—there had been only 6,000, 7,900, or 8,000 each day. Lord BROUGHAM—The average influx lately had been 900 a day. -Tiae Marquis of WESTMEATH thought it would be desirable to know how many of these were emigrants. Earl FITZWILLIAM thought it would be impos sible to ascertain that. Lord STANLEY thought that the number of those who were emigrants must be exceedingly small. The middle or end of March was the period of emigration. The Duke of WELLINGTON said it would be de sirable to have as much information as possible on the subject. Earl GREY agreed with the Noble Lord that in ordi nary years, such was the period of emigration, but this year was an exception. There had been 26 emigrants this year to the United States. A NOBLE LORD would also move for a return of the number of emigrants into Newport, in Wales, and other places. Earl GREY thought, that though it might be pos- sible to get the number that arrived in Liverpool, it would be difficult to ascertain the number into other places, The motion was then agreed to. SUGAR DISTILLERIES BILL AND SUGAR BREWERIES BILL. ----- Lord CLARENDON said that he proposed that these Bills should receive a second reading upon Friday next, and that no discussion should arise until the Bills went into Committee. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-STREET. CHARGE OF PERJURY AGAINST A POLICEMAN.-- Clarks Andrews Amos, a police-constable, of the H division, appeared before Mr. Broughton to answer a charge preferred against him, at the instance of the Commissioners of Police, for having grossly assaulted a young female, and then locked her up on a fictitious charge, in order to prevent a charge being preferred against him for the Offence. — lt appeared that on Thursday last a prostitute, named Ellen Bolton, was charged by defendant before Mr. Arnold, the magistrate, with disorderly cenduct, when she stated the prisoner had taken indecent liberties with her, and on her threatening to prefer a charge against him for so doing, he had trumped up the charge to screen himself: Mr. Arnold a ked her if she had a witness ? She said a girl was with her at the time, and could vouch for the truth of her statement. The defendant denied the truth of her statement in every particular, and the girl not being present, Mr. Arnold adjudicated on the policeman's evidence, and ordered her to be im prisoned for seven days. After the case had been con cluded, and the girl locked up, the witness alluded to came ieto court, and, although she had not seen the prisoner after the defendant had locked her up, made exactly the same statement. Mr. Arnold, on hearing this, ordered the prisoner to be placed at the bar, which being done, she was discharged. The report of the case having been forwarded to the Commissioners of Police, they directed the present proceedings. The first witness called was the girl Bolton, who, having deposed to the facts already stated. went on to say that as soon as she asked the defendant the way out of Brick• lane he made use of the most filthy expres sions to her, which she took no notice of, when he pro ceeded to act in the grossest and most indecent manner, and, forcing her t p a court, threw her down, where, had it not been for her resistance and the arrival of the other girl, he would have effected his purpose. On getting away she proceeded towards the station-house for the purpose of making a charge against him, when he followed and took her into custody, afterwards telling her he would let her go if she would promise not to lodge a charge against him; refusing this, she was taken to the station and locked up. She did not see her companion until after her conviction the next morn ing. She mentioned the way she had been treated to the inspector who took the charge. Jane Reeve, the girl alluded to, in every particular corroborated her. It being seven o'clock before the testimony had con• eluded, Mr. BROUGHTON adjourned the case, observing that if the witnesses were speaking the truth, the prisoner should not have been sent before him for a summary conviction, but indicted for perjury. Both girls were severely cross-examined by Mr. W. Heritage for the defendant, but ho failed to shake their evidence in any particular. HAMMERSMITH. EXCISE INFORMATIONS —Mr. Wm. IVesibrook, brick maker, at Earle's-court, Kensington, appeared before Mr. Paynter to answer an information, at the instance of the Excise, for selling beer without a license, whereby he had incurred a penalty of 201. Mr. Sleep, the solicitor, appeared for the defendant, and pleaded not guilty. The Excise proved that the defendant had never taken out a license to enable him legally to sell beer, and called a witness who had been in the defendant's employ, who deposed to the defendant having, in the kitchen of his house in the brickfield, a regular tap fitted up for the sale of beer, and that on the day charged in the informa• tion he was served by a boy, in the defendant's employ, with a pint of beer, for which, and something else, six pence was stopped out of his wages by the defendant on the following Saturday. Mr. Sleap, for the defendant, contended there was before the magistrate no proof of the sale of beer. There was nothing in the Excise Acts to prevent a master, for his own convenience, and the furtherance of his busi ness, engaging men for so much wages and so much beer. All that the Excise had proved was, that in a brickfield a boy in the employ of the defendant had given a man in the same employ a pint of beer, and that on the Saturday a sixpence of his wages was stopped. It was, however, a fact capable of proof, that in the summer time the farmers in Middlesex and elsewhere were in the habit of giving beer in part wages, in order to prevent their leaving their work to get it. Mr. PAINTER said he did not anticipate the line of defence set up. There was, however, no proof that it was so in that case. He must, therefore, convict and fine the defendant in the lowest moiety of 51. and costs. He thought it a case for the consideration of the Excise Commissioners. CROWN LANDS IN IRELAND. The Marquis of WESTMEATH moved for various returns relative to Crown lands in Ireland. He had urged upon the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, the propriety of bringing in a Bill to regulate the abuses connected with these estates, but to the present time nothing had been done. He now moved for a copy of all communications that had passed during the last five years between the Commissioners of Woods and Forests and the agents and solicitor of the Crown lands in Kilglass, county Roscommon. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE requested the Noble Lord to give notice of the motion, which he had not done, and he would then, to•merrow evening, see if he could grant the information which he desired. Lord WESTMEATH acquiesced iu the suggestion of the Noble Lord. Lord VIVIAN presented apetition cn the subject of the Bishoprics of St. Asaph and Bangor. REFORIi IN TIIE CHURCH. Earl FITZWILLIAIi presented a petition from J. Jordan, vicar of Ensham, in Oxford: the :principal objects of the petition were, that an in c r ease s h ou ld take place in the number of those engaged in the ministry, and that the Bishops should be relieved of all legislative duties in their Lordships' House. He (Earl Fitzwilliam) did nut concur in the last sugges tion. The petitioner stated that there ought to be four provinces and fifty-two dioceses, and that each diocese should not exceed 500 , 00 0 souls, and when extended over a large surface, not more than 300,000. The peti tion well deserved the attention of their Lordships. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that he was sure the Noble Lord was aware that there were many subjects in that petition which did not properly come within the scope of their discussion, He would, in a day or so, lay upon the table of the House a report from a Commission appointed by her Majesty to inquire into the state of the bishoprics in the United Kingdom. The subject was one which deserved the serious consideration of their Lordships. RAILWAYS —STATE OF THE CURRENCY. Lord ASHBURTON rose to move for the following returns :—Capital stock authorised to be raised by rail way companies which have received the sanction of Parliament during the last two sessions ;the amount raised. laid out , and remaini ng unpaid ; suins autho rised and borrowed by the various railway companies 1 from their commencement to the present time, distin guishing the amount borrowed each year, and the rate of interest paid by them. He said it was necessary that their Lordships should be furnished with such a return in order that they might be made acquainted with the exact condition of the circulation of the country. It ap peared that there had been a great drain of England o t f a r y s trid e th f e e r w e bullion on thend barthugkosehf heE m onths past ; a w as any cause for alarm in the co untry , yet he could b n e o i t ng he tde uponstatingthata greater drain than or di nary was the finances of the country. The Gove rnmen t would be compelled to borrow larg e sums of money on Exchequer-bills to relieve the distresses of Ireland ; and if this drain took ra il wa y purposes, place forthey could not fail to have much difficulty in doing so. Last year the Par liament advised that no railway projects should be en couraged save t h os e required by th e wants of the country; but this year he thought they would do well, and prevent the derangement of the currency of the country, by confining their legislation during the present year to such Bills as were necessary for thepurpose of remedying any defects or g ap in the Bills already passed, inst ea d o f entertaining all y new projects. The great drain upon the Bank of England by railways prevented the Govern ment from obtaining money so easily on Exchequer bills as heretofore; and as money was required for more urgent purposes, it was not right that they should derange the finances of the company, and prevent them from being pro perly applied to a more legitimate and pressing purpose. The Noble Lord said he would further move for a return of the Public Securities held by the Bank of England ; and of the amount of capital paid into the Bank of England on behalf of railways, the rate of interest paid on it, and the periods at which it was ro spectively paid in and drawn out. The Earl of CLARENDON said he regretted that his Noble Friend who had just moved for certrin returns, had departed from a very useful Custom observed by their Lordships in not having given due notice of the re turns which he intended to move for. He believed his Noble Friend had moved for returns of a very important and comprehensive nature, and the Noble Lord bad ac companied his mention of them with some very' important and useful remarks. Although he (Earl Cla rendon) had no objection to some of the returns which had been moved for, but another part of the mo tion of the Noble Lord seemed to him to affect most intimately the great public financial interests of the country, and as fsr as the returns bore upon these, he could not assent to their being granted with out due notice. Ile hoped the Noble Lord would post pone his motion to a future day. Lord MONTEAGLE questioned very much the ex pediency of some of the returns moved for by the Noble Lord being granted. He did not think the same ob jection lay against another part of the Noble Lord's motion, such as a return for the amount of capital which the different railway companies were authorised to raise ; the amount which they had raised ; the amount which they were empowered to borrow, and the amount of borrowing power which they retained still unexhausted ; these were returns to which there could be no possible objection, for the companies themselves were obliged by th e i r o wn acts, to furnish these details to their shareholders. But when the Noble Lord moved for returns which would bear upon the rela tion existing between the Government and the Bank of England—when he moved for a state ment of the transactions between the Government and the Bank, he did not think it was quite expedient to grant such a return. He knew nothing more delicate at a critical period, although the present was not in his opinion, such a time, yet, at a critical period, he knew nothing more delicate than to move for the amount and extent of the public securities at present in the possession of the Bank of England. This was not, he admitted, one of those critical periods which he had alluded to ; but the motion of the Noble Lord would establish a precedent. Let their Lordships only suppose a time when the exchanges should be against this Lord BROUGHAM fully agreed with the Noble Lord who had just spoken, that it was not expedient to move for returns as to the public securities. As far as the motion bore upon railway stock, the case stood very diffe rent, and he thought (he returns might be granted. buying and selling stook out of doors, what were the (LEFT BITTING.) INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS. Sir JOHN RENNIE a President, in the Chair. The paper read was a description of the " Helder, or Great North Holland Canal," by George B. Jackson, Assoc. Inst. C.E. This canal was constructed by the late Mr. J. Blanken, engineer, during the six years be tween 1819 and 1825, for the passage of frigates and first-class merchantmen, and extends from A ms t er d am to Nieuwediep, in the Texel. The state of the navi gation through the Zuyder Sea in the early part of the 17th century having become so defective, in consequence of accumulated sand banks and shoals, that camels were necessarily made use of to lift the vessels over the shallows at Pampus, thereby incurring both extreme loss of time and inconvenience, the Dutch Gov_ernment deemed it necessary to consult Mr. Blauken 94_ the possibility of remedying the evil. That engineer ac cordingly projected the above canal, which has three glk, visions, the summit level being only 3 feet 8 inches above the outlets. Its length is 51 miles ; it is 123 feet 7 inches broad at top, 30 feet 10 inches at bottom, and 20 feet 6 inches deep. The pile driving and burin.. b experi ments undertaken by him to ascert a in the probability of success show that the original sea shore, being the only really hard ground in the north of Holland, is to be met with at 43 feet under the present surface of the ground, and as the foundations of the locks were laid nearly at that depth, the result of the experiments were considered to afford sufficient guarantee for the stability of the works. The character of the soil in that part of Holland is exceedingly treacherous, and it reflects great credit on our foreign neighbours that they were able to overcome the various difficulties with which they had to contend. The constructions generally consist of floating and swing bridges, tide-locks, passage-locks, &s. The float ing bridges are peculiar on account of their flexibility, consisting of two platforms, one fixed to each shore on piles, the end of each of which is worked by sets of double levers, and resting on two boats, so that when the bridge is required to bo opened both boats are with drawn, one towards each shore. The Willun lock is 297 feet 8 inches long, 51 feet 5 inches wide , the height ' of the lock walls b e in g 32 f ee t 6 i nc h es , and the gates thereof being each 29 feet 5 i nc h es by 29 feat 4 inches. The total cost amounted to one million and a half pounds sterling ; the time required by vessels to make the passage from Amsterdam to the Helder varies ac cording to their size and the means of haulage, fly-boats, with six relays of four horses each, making it in ten hours, whilst large East Indiamen require two, three, and four days, according to the wind. The details of construction of the whole of the works were given very freely, with the illustrative drawings. In the discussion which ensued, it was stated that the only canal in this country which could be contrasted with that of the Helder was the Caledonian Canal, which was projected upon a report by Watt, commenced by Jessop, and in a great part constructed by Telford, a few years pre viously to the Helder Canal. The principal difference between the two consisted in the nature of the ground through which they were cut; the former being ex cavated entirely out of alluvial deposit, whilst the latter had to be cut out of hard gravel and in some cases rock. An interesting account was given of the mode of forming the spot for the entrance lock at the Inverness end of the Caledonian Canal. The object was to carry the work out into deep water. A large mass of earth was deposited iu the sea to the full extent intended ; upon this mound a heavy load of material was laid to consolidate the mass. After settling for a considerable time, the upper mass was removed, the excavation was made for the lock pit, and the construction was effected with comparative facility, and had endured much rougher weather since, without any symptoms of failure. The superincumbent weight which was removed being greater than any sub sequent strain, there was no danger of the lock ever sinking. The discussion was adjourned until the next meeting, Tuesday, February 16, when it was announced that the second part of the paper would be read, treating of " The method of forming facine embankments and sea defences in Holland," by G. B. W. Jackson, Assoc. Inst. C.E. GAOL 132tIAKING.—Mr. Bourns, the deputy governor of Newgate, and two of the turnkeys connected with that prison, fortunately discovered a plan which was laid by several convicts under sentence of transportation fur life, fif teen, ten, and seven years, to break through the prison yes terday morning. It appeared that the number involved in the conspiracy amounted to from 30 to 40 persons, and they had everything prepared for their flight, having made a hole through the root; through which any ordinary sized man could pass, and fastened near it a,rope, made out of their bed ticks, of more than 20 feet long, to raise them up and after wards lower them into one of the adjoining streets.—Dublin Mail of Wednesday. HEAT WITHOUT FUEL.—lmportant as cheap fuel may be, to be able to do without it altogether is more impor tant still. A Hungary chemist has taken some promising steps towards making, this possible. Ile places in contact two iron plates and a copper cylinder, highly polished, turn ing on an axis at the end of a lever, with a balance weight at the other end, to keep the plates in contact, when, by means of very simple apparatus and trifling exertion, a glow ing red heat may be produced in five minutes, and main tained with ease.—Tlie Builder. ELOPEMENT OF AN HEIRESS WITH HER SINGING MASTIC/L.—A good deal ofgoseip and some consternation pre vailed in fashionable circles of the metropolis yesterday, in consequence of an elopement which took place on Saturday. On inquiry the following facts were ascertained : It appears that the young lady is daughter of the principal of one of the most eminent establishments in the city, and resided at the private house of her father in B----- street. She had a young man named M—, who resided in G—._ street, at tending her as music and singing master. It is stated that an attachment was mutually formed, and on Saturday even ing the parties left by the Holyhead packet, and on landing there took the snail for Bangor, at which place all trace of them was lost. The lady, it is said, possesses a fortune of 5,000/. in her own right. She is twenty years of age and very handsome. The young gentleman is twenty-four years of age.—Dublin Freeman's Journal CHATHAM BARRACKS, FEB. 11.—This morning the decision of the general courts-martial held in these bar racks in December last, for the trial of Captain Bull, of the 57th Regiment, for conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, in having placed Major Shadforth, his commanding officer, in arrest, on board the barque Mary Ann, on the 9th of July, 1846, th en a t anc h or in Simon 's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, &c., was promulgated, by which Captain Bull i s or d ered to be cashiered; but was subse quently restored to his rank, and allowed to exchange into another regiment. The sentence on Lieutenant Grant, who was tried by the same Court fur insubordinate conduct towards Major Shadforth, arising out of the same transaction, g a was ordered to b e severe l y repr i man d e d, a nd se e n co t rd to ing h i l y s duty; and he w as thi s morn i n re p r imanded b b a y tt t a h ln. theeio ROBB ER . SHOT.—On Tuesday night, the 2 d inst ., between tw e l ve an d one 'clock, Mr. Sampson, of Bryinp ton, w as disturbed by a noise in the poultry yard, which caused him immediately to get up and open his window. He Failed out to two persons whom he sawin the yard, " What is your business there?" but they did not reply, and made for the lower part of the premises, from which there is a way to the back yard, where they were lost sight of; but another, coming from the direction of the hen's roost, and who evi dently was not well acquainted with the premises, made for the orchard gate, opposite Mr. Sampson's bedroom. He called to him and said, "If you don't answer I'll shoot you." Ile took no notice whatever of this, but was in the act of getting over the gate when Mr. Sampson fired. The dis tance is about fifty yards. This, however, did not stop him ; a second barrel was discharged with the like result, as the fellow made off, crying " Murder, murder," and bellowing like a bull. lie must have been badly wounded, for, upon examining the gate, there was blood smeared over the top bar, and drops of blood from the gate across the orchard. Mr. Sampson offers 201. reward for information that may lead to the conviction of the offenders.—Shertionte Mercury. STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, FEB. 12.—W0 have no change to report in the foreign wool market this week. It is expected prices will range full higher at the approaching London sales, the quantity to be offered being but small. Escusu WOOL MARKET, FEB. 12.—This branch of trade has been without any change this week, either in demand or prices. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, FEB. 11.—We cannot vary our report from last week's, the demand still con tinuing languid, with prices much about the same. LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, FEB. 11.—There were 1,800 bags of foreign and colonial wool offered at auc tion yesterday, scarcely half of which found purchasers. The attendance was numerousus, but there was a want of confidence exhibited, owing no doubt to the high prices of provisions; the biddings, therefore, were lan guid. The small quantity of Australian and Cape realised full prices, eonsidering the quality and condition, which were very inferior. There was not much United States wool sold at auction, but several parcels were afterwards disposed of by private sale, at prices rather lower than previous sales. There was a - good assortment of Buenos Ayres, but the prices offered were so very low that it was nearly all withdrawn. LEEDS.—We have not had such dull markets at our cloth-halls for some months past as on Tuesday and Sa turday. There continue to be considerable deliveries, however, direct to the foreign houses, of goods calculated for the East India and China markets, and from this circumstance, added to the great caution exercised by th• manufacturers generally, the stocks in the cloth halls are not large, and prices are firm. There is a little more business doing by some of the foreign houses, but on the whole business has been dull in the ware houses since this day week. BRADFORD MARKET, FEB. 11.--We can report no amendment in the wool market. Sales are compara tively few, and those of no great extent. The supply of wool coming to the staplers is small, which tends to keep up prices. The yarn market is still dull, and no change in price. The Russian houses are, however, pre paring for (we hope) a brisk trade in yarns for export. Plain Orleans cloths and paramattas are in good demand; for the American market large stocks of pieces are pur chased. l'ancy articles, made partly of silk, will, we have no doubt, have a great run during our spring trade. Merinos at present are dead stock. The manu facturers are full of hope as to a brisk spring trade. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY ETENING.—We are in no ways improving, either in our cloth or yarn markets. The depression is extreme, and without any rational prospect of improvement. A decided reduction on the nominal low rates of the day would not induce merchants to buy, except to order. There is no taste for the least speculation. TROOPS FOR THE CAPE OF GOOD MOTE. —A de tachment, consisting of 35 non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Sappers and Miners at Woolwich, marched from their barracks, headed by the excellent brass band of the corps, to the Royal Arsenal, on Saturday morning, and embarked in the Lord Vivian Ordnance sloop for Gravesend, to be transferred to the Senator hired freight-ship for con veyance to the Cape of Good Hope, to fill up the vacancies in the two companies of Royal Sappers and Miners at that staTioa. Two officers of the Royal Engineers, and five men of the Royal Sappers and Miners, from Chatham were also to join at Gravesend for the same destination. A detachment of the Royal Artillery, consisting of 15 men of the 4th bat talion, and 15 men of the ith battalion, embarked at the Royal Arsenal at the same time, under the command of lieutenant Drayton, to fill up the two companies of Royal Artillery at the Cape. TILE COST or FOURPENCII.—On Friday, at the Middlesex County Court of Requests, Kingsgate street, Hol born, a journeyman paper-hanger, named Barnes, appeared to sustain a summons against James Hammery, for the sum of fourpence. It appeared that the plaintiff's child went to the shop of the defendant for the purpose of obtaining change for a shilling. Three fourpenny- pieces were given, one of which was bad. Upon the coin being returned to the de fendant, he denied having given it to her, and expressed his determination of not substituting another. It having been sworn that the coin then given and the one produced in court was the same, the Learned Commissioner directed the de fendant to pay the amount claimed--fourpence, and the costs, five shillings and sixpence, making a total of fire shillings and tenpence, the costs amounting to nearly twenty times the sum sued for. packet ANOTHER STEAMER LOST.—The fine Creole, which was long employed b etween New Orleans end Bordeaux, has been wrecked on n the eastern coast of the Island of Cuba. She left Bordeaux the £3 t h andof N p o a s y s e e m n -- ber, with 135 persons on board, including ° crew gers. On the 19th December she was driven on the sub marine rocks off Nuevitas, Canal of Bahama, and remained days and three nights. in this perilous situation d uri ng two All hopes of gettinfs her off, notwithstalding the passengers added their exertions to those of the crew, being at an end, the captain ordered her masts to be cut by the board, and turned every effort to save the passengers; but before means could be taken the ship broke up. Out of 155 persons, only 8 rea ched the shore. Among those who were lost was the captain,2 M. Jules Cayol, who refused to quit the vessel until every o ther living person had been got off. Those saved have been well treated by the inhabitants, and were expect ing to leave shortly for New Orleans. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON.—The council have instituted a professorship of the Mechanical Prin ciples of Engineering, and appointed Mr. Eton llodgkinson to the chair. The Flaherty scholarship in mathematics has been awarded to Mr. William Yool. To Mr. Robert Bald• win Hayward, who was so nearly equal to Mr. Yool that the examiners recommended a division of the scholarship, the council voted a gold medal, with an expression of regret that circumstances did not admit of their bestowing two scholarships. Examiners: Robert Leslie Ellis, A.M., of Trinity College, Cambridge, for the council; and Professors De Morgan and Potter. The Flaherty scholarship in clas sics has been awarded to Mr. Henry Glaldish Rosher. Ex aminers: G. S. Venables, Esq., of Jesus College, Cambridge, A.M., for the council ; and Professors Newman and Malden. The 401. prize for general proficiency as a student in me dicine and surgery has been awarded to Mr. William Henry Ransom. The officers of the Royal Horse Artillery, Wool wich, gave, on Thursday last, an entertainment to their friends, to which were invited the nobility and gentry of the neighbourhood. The Ethiopian Serenaders, from the St. James's Theatre, were specially engaged on the occasion, and gave a selection from their popular repertory with their accustomed success and effect. A large party assembled to do honour to the hospitality of their gallant hosts.

CHEMICAL MIRACLES.—At the Court of the Duke of Brunswick, Professor Beyruss promised that during dinner his coat should become red; sad to the amazement of the Prince and his other guests, it actually became that colour. M. Vogel relates the fact, but does not reveal the secret made use of by Beyruss, but he observes that by pouring lime water on the juice of the beetroot a colourless liquid is obtained; and that a piece of cloth steeped in this liquid, and quickly dried, becomes red in a few hours, simply by contact with the air; and further that the effect is accelerated in an apartment where champagne and other wines are being plentifully poured out. It has been proved by recent experiments that wool dyed by orchil of a violet colour, or shined blue by the acidulated sulphate of indigo, in a bath of hydro-salphurie acid, becomes colourless, yet resumes the blue or the violet on exposure to the free air. Either explanation applies to the modern fact, and indicates the possibility of reviving ancient prodigies; it also discovers the manner in which, amidst flaming torches and smoking incense, in the sanc tuaries of Polytheism, the veil concealing the sacred things may have been seen to change from white to a blood-redriblui:: and which spectacle was co ns id ere d as th e presag e 01. g the ful disasters. Blood boili ng on th e a lt ars , or linPdicative marbles, or in the vases of the t em pl es , were al,O of perils and calamity. In Provence, in the FlXte!ntli. century, when a consecrated phi a l filled with the blood of_ Magdalene, in a solid state, was placed near her pretended head, the blood became liquid, and suddenly boiled. The same phenomenon was exhibited in the Cathedral of Avellino, with the bloood of St. Lawrence ; and also at Bisaeglia, with that of St. Panteleon, and of two other martyrs. In the present day, at an annual public ceremony at Naples, some of the blood of St. Januarius, collected and dried come cen turies ago, becomes spontaneously liquified, and rises in a boiling state to the top of the phial that encloses it. These phenomena may be produced by reddening sulphuric ether with orcauette (onosma Linn.) lied mixing the tincture with spermaceti. This preparation, at ten degrees above the freezing point (centigrade) remains condensed, but melts and boils at twenty. To raise it to this temperature it is only necessary to hold the phial which contains it in the hand for some time.— Thompson's Philosophy of Nagle. TEMPORA MUTANTUR.—On lest Sabbath, Duni fries time was adjusted to London time, and to effect this our public clocks had to be accelerated twenty-five minutes. This was a process sufficiently simple—setting the hands to half-past seven in the morning, instead of five minutes past that hour; but the confusion produced was petfectly chaotic. The country people who throng into our churches at ; the ringing of the bells" were perfectly astounded to hear their jangle when they had yet miles of their journey to per form. Douce citizens, not long out of bed, were startled at their coffee by the unexpected, and till now welcome peal, and left the second cup untouched. The alarm was so great, that we doubt not many china sets suffered break age on the occasion : and we dare say some not very cha ritable suppositions were cherished, to the effect that the bell• man was either " blin' fou," and had mistaken the hour, or had set the bells a-ringing so long before their time out of pure mischief. In some of the churches the congregation had met, but there was neither minister nor precentor. In others, the clergyman and clerk were present, but only a tithe of the people, and then, long after the exercise had commenced, the remaining portions came hurrying in, in hot haste, as if pursued. The reason that our clocks had fallen so far be hind exists, we need scarcely state, in the difference between the longitude of Dumfries and Greenwich, and the neglect of causing them to be adjusted weekly —Dumfries Standard. MURDER AT A CHRISTENING.—A dreadful murder was committed on Sunday evening at Newborough, in the southern division of the county of Northumberland, about four miles from Hischam. There had been a christening that day, which in that part of the country is usually a season of great festivity ; and after the parties had been to the church, they repaired to an inn in the village of Newborough to partake of some refreshment. While there, a man names Welsh, who is a labourer in a quarry in the neighbourhood, took some improper liberties with the female; of the christen ing party, and made use of indecent language, which called for the interference of the father of the child, a person of the name of Proud. When Proud and his party left the house, Welsh followed and went in the UM direction ; and some wrangling took place between the parties on the road. They had not, however, proceeded far, when Welsh went up to Proud, seized him by the head, and pulling it back, cut hie throat with a knife so severely, that the unfortunate victim died almost immediately. After committing the horrid deed Welsh ran off, and called at the same public-house the party had been at, where he called for a pot of whisky, and having drank it, he stated to the mistress of the house that it was the last time she would see hini. He then left, and hastened to the Four-stones station of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway. On reaching it he seems to have been entirely overcome, partly by the liquor he had taken, and partly by the exertions he had made to fly from the locality of his crime. In the meantime intelligence of the murder spread over the village, and the constable ( Mr. Riley) was dispatched on horseback in pursuit of the murderer, whom he found in a public-house at the Four-stones station, and immediately apprehended him. An inquest was held on Tuesday before I lr .o v Se t ? a li t e e dn wereßeed, d t e h t i c l e o d r o i r n i e e r v f i o d r e n the ee c .n o udn s the i v u h r e; r t e h t e u f r a n c e li a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against the prisoner, who was committed on the coroner's warrant to Morpeth gaol, for trial at the ensuing assizes. ANOTHER CAPTURE OF AN ILLICIT DISTILLERY.-- From information received, Messrs. Bayford and J. Lewin', officers of Excise, yesterday proceeded to the house of Mr. John Hatfield, Trafalgar-street, Whitechapel, where, after obtaining admission, in a back apartment they found a large copper still, a quantity of fermented wash, molasses, spirits, and the usual fittin gs o f a di st il lery. The process distilla tion was not then going on, but it appeared to have been re cently suspended. They accordingly seized the still, appa ratus, and utensils; but, in consequence of there being no fire under the still, they were not empowered to take the proprietor into custody, although he was on the premises at the time.
