CONVEYANCE OF TROOPS BY RAILWAY. There is some interesting testimony on this subject to be found in the recently issued (by order of Parliament) minutes of evidence taken before them. The following are extracts therefrom. The first witness quoted is W. Hosking, Esq.:— Supposing a separate terminus to be made for the North Kent at Union-street, what effect would that have upon the thoroughfares ?—Any terminus in that neigh bourhood would, of course, have some of the advantages which I claim for the neighbourhood of the York-road, but it would want the advantage which seems to me likely to arise from the railways north and south all meeting at the same place, and the interchange of pas sengers and goods without the necessity of driving them through London. The streets of London would be re lieved, in the way I propose, of a useless traffic, that is, of the mere through traffic from railway station to rail way station. I contemplate also an advantage from bringing all the railways as far as possible to the same terminus that an interchange would take place. You speak of passengers only ?—Passengers mainly. Would not that apply to one particular class of pas sengers, viz., those going by another railway?—Of course; but it is an incident merely to the general scheme, though not an unimportant one in a military point of view, and especially as it regards the transmission of troops and stores from one part of the country to another, when it may be necessary that such should pass by or through London. Do you contemplate, in connexion with the general terminus which you propose, that the termini now exist ing in the outskirts to the northward and westward, be longing to the Great Northern and Western Railways, should still remain?—That might be left entirely with the companies. I should urge merely that they ought not to be allowed to advance further into the town; that they should not be allowed, indeed, to advance beyond ' their present positions, so as to come within the belt formed by the Edgware-road, the New-road. and the , City-road; and that no public advantage would be de rived from bringing them forward, for some parts of the town would suffer more from greater difficulty of access to the railway than others would benefit from vicinity. I submit, that the position which I have indicated would be more accessible than any other from every Bart of the • town, and more accessible than most other places, taken as independent termini. [General Sir James Willoughby Gordon, Bart., G.C.8., G.C.11., and Major-General Sir John Fox Burgoyne, K.C.8., examined.] To Sir J. W. Gordon—The Commission are very , Anxious to have your opinion upon the advantages which might be expected to be derived, military speaking, from a connexion between the railways on the north bank of the Thames and the railways on the south bank of the Thames; and also to have any opinion that you may be s • prepared to give them as to the best means of connect ing those railways for military purposes?—Before I i7'itnswer the question, let us see whether we understand the present termini in the same way. The termini of the railways that I use are these, viz., the Paddington, the Euston-square, the Shoreditch, and the Blackwell Railway in Billiter-square; those are all on that bank of the river. When we come to the other side, there are the London-bridge stations, the Bricklayers' Arms station, the New Cross, and the Vauxhall, or nine Elms. Those are all the termini that I know of. Now, nothing can be more convenient for my purposes than those ter mini. Ido not see any advantage that would arise from any change in them. I may understand it wrongly, but if I am to understand that anything like a central ter minus is intended, I should say it would be attended with inconvenience. Your termini now, as I have described them, are central, in a circle of somewhat large diameter, but still it is one. If you make it smaller, so as to bring the thine., as it were to the nave of a wheel, from which the raddii diverge like spokes, it for military purposes might be attended with very serious inconvenience. I need not, perhaps, tell you that in the assembling of large bodies of troops with • all their necessary accompaniments, equipments, and baggage of all kinds, women and children, it is a difficult matter to put them in regular motion from any given place at any time ; but when you bring them from different parts to one central place, and under different commanding officers, I can conceive nothing more calculated to create very great confusion. I did not iutend the question to apply so much to a central station as to a connexion, (putting stations out of view fur the moment,) by railway, between the rail ways already existing on the north, and the railways already existing on the south ?-1 du not see any ne cessity for it. For example, our troops are moved up from Hampshire to London, with a view to being sent to Birmingham; they disembark at Vauxhall, and then they arc moved to Euston square ; there is nu difficulty in that movement. _Except the loss of time ?—As far as regards the march ; but if I am to understand by a connexion a con tinuous connexion, that instead of stopping at Vaux- hall, they would go on, that would be a different thing. That is the question, a cunnexiou by railway ?—t.;er tainly, that would be a convenience ; they would not have to stop and b e bill e t e d a b ou t ; but if they are to be removed from one railway station to another, then I -should say it is hardly worth while to do it. It is specially with a view to a junction by interme diate rails ?—lt would be convenient, no doubt, if, in stead of being disembarked at Vauxhall, they could go straight on to Paddington, or straight on to Euston square, or any other place to which they might require to go onwards. It would be a saving, probably, of three or four hours between Nine Elms and Euston-square ?—Yes ; in -sending troops by railway we must oonsider this. When the Government has particularly desired it for special public purposes, troops have been conveyed on the same day from Gosport to Weedon, via London, but that is not a thing to be practised, for various good reasons. ~If such a connexion as I have described were to be established, should you consider it a matter of much im portance whether the connexion were very direct ; that is, for instance, whether the connexion between the South-Eastern Dover Railway and the London and Bir thingliam Railway passed through the heart of London, or should you consider that it would equally answer Sour purpose if the connexion were circuitous and effected by a railway making half the circuit of London, fail perhaps crossing the river as far up as Vauxhall'or Battersea, and coming round to the London and Bir mingham ?—The answer to that question would be merely a matter of time ; if you went direct it would be a quarter of an hour ; and if you went in the way you propose, it would be twenty-five minutes. As to the exteat of the use to which railways are applied under ray direction, I would state, that in the course of the four last years, there have been moved by railways 250,000 people, of which about 12,000 have been wo men, and some 14,000 children ; and the extraordinary part of it is, that they have been moved without an accident of any kind. I know no other conveyance which would show this ; so that it is not only rapidity, but security. - -Do you think, for the defence of the country, in the event of an invasion sr threatened invasion, it would not be very desirable to form a communication between the nor ern and southern lines of railway ?—No doubt it would be. Would not an unbroken connexion between the northern and southern railways ho particularly desirable for the purpose of moving cavalry and artillery ?—Yes; in roving troops generally the more continuous the bet ter'; 'Cavalry and artillery are seldom moved without greett,expense attending it, and very imperative necessity for. i cioing so ; but mo ve w h at you w ill , i n a m i l i tary senscs a by railroad, a continuous lino is better than a broken one. I take that as a general view of it. Any thing that requires to be taken from a railway at ono point, and moved to another, is very inconvenient ; and the more you can avoid it the better fur the public service. One . finds, in private life, that the inconvenience and this :Fisk of transporting horses, is much greater than they Of transporting human beings ?—Certainly. The moving of horses by railway becomes expensive iu this way e not only that the weight is larger, but that you have nothing to set off against it. A horse marching costs no more to the public than he does when in the stable; his toed is the same. You have nothing to set off against the expense of the railway with a horse, but with a man you have. The men and the officers cost the-public more when they are in march than when they are at 'rest. That cost put aga i nst the expense of the railway makes the expense of the railway for them less. With respect to stations in the heart of London more central than they:are at present, I understand you to say you have a decided objection to it?—l should say they are not necessary, and they might be very inconvenient. If you bring groat bodies of people to one centre, there will be a great confusion in getting them out of one place and into another, which might be extremely in convenient, and particularly if there were horse and artillery, with all those impediments that must attend the moving of bodies of that description. I should con ceive that nothing could be more inconvenient. I con sider that the termini now, as I have described them, viz., at Paddington, Euston-square, Shureditch, Billiter square, London-bridge, and Vauxhall, are quite central enough. If you reduce it to the nave of a wheel and make all the spokes branching out from it, it will be attended, I think, with great embarrassment, but any thing that is continuous is good as a general principle. The Tess interrupted your line of movement is, the more convenient; whether you move by your feet, or on horse back, or by railway, the principle is the same. You would see no objection to a connecting railway 2 iv ,c'isliner London, and skirting i ns t ea d o f go i ng th roug h it understand the question to be, whether if you make a turning, instead of .'going in a , straight line, it would i nconvenient. I say not arall ;itis a mere queseinn of time wheth e r I go round that cur ve , which takes:ten minutes longe si rthan the straight li ne , Youare eonstantiy u railways for the p ur p ose o f moving troops at present:if:le" I have said to the extent of about reeooo ; but not always, for this reason—that a soldier :a Y r e ri ar Cr ought to carry, a considerable weight upon his back, be, without man can do that, however strong he may you see ii t l it th wactice. If e street, and you take the strongest fellow g,ht as a before be strap a package on his back of the sa me soldier carries, it will be very inconvenient towleipiirmac he had gone six miles. It is necessary to Troops. are moved by railways more when the puhlic. service requires celerity of movement. Would-there be any great object in connecting Wool wich with Portsmouth by railway ?—I think so. Wool wich is an ordnance depot, and therefore any explana tion required with regard to the moving of ordnance supplies would be much better given to you by an ord nance authority than iey me ; but on general principle, I think irconvenient. The same principle applies to mili tary stores of all sorts. To Sir — J: F. Blergoyne—l believe you have turned your dttention very much to the system of national de fence and • die degree to which railways might contribute to it ? - - . 1 have. Do Ott Cousazer it a great object to connect Wool wich with, the southern and western ports of Er.gland Engktud by rtsilwaY ?-.Certainly, of very great import• ante. The old mode of conveyance was chiefly by water round the coast, and, of course, was subject to great in terruption in time of war. But that communication would be just as well aftbrded by railway for your purposes if it did not come nearer to London perhaps than two miles or thereabouts ?—Per fectly. It is not necessary to come through the Leart of the metropolis to effect the object which you have is view ? —No, certainly not. Perhaps it is better avoided, as in the case of transport of ammunition, &c. And the same would apply, I suppose, to a connexion between Woolwich, or between the south of England and the north ; it might be just as well carried round London as through it ?—Just so. I imagine that a few miles in increase of length would make very little diffe rence in that respect, the great object is the continuity and non-interruption of the intercourse. Do you think it very desirable to connect all the nor thern and southern lines, in the event of national defence being required ?—I think it of very great importance, and one particular reason would be that the carriages would be universally available. I should say, that about 2,000 men require at least 100 carriages ; 2,000 men would be a small number for an emergency upon an invasion, or in any case of that kind, where you want to assemble a large number of troops ; 100 carriages is a large number to carry on ore line ; therefore, it would be of considerable importance to make the carriages of one line available for any other. With the power that the railways ought to give us, I think that every soldier of Great Britain might be as sembled on any one point within twenty-four hours, and even from any part of Ireland within a few hours more. But in bringing them by the different railways to Lon don, and moving them from London, unless you can make all the carriages available, you would have to take them down by driblets to the point of action; that would be very objectionable, and lead to two things, either in that way they must be taken near the enemy, in which case they would be beaten in detail, or you must take them at a distance of fifty or sixty miler, which would be an inconvenience. It would take as long to march from Guildford to the coast as for them to get all the way from Edinburgh to London. I think it a point of very great importance to preserve the con tinuity of the line. So that the carriages of one railway might be avail able for all?—Yes. Sir J. W. Gordon—That is to say, to have the same gauge. Sir J. F. Burgoyne—And the same gauge, of course. At present the northern and southern lines are severed by the Thames ?—Yes, unless you had a continuous line; if the troops got to the terminus of the Portsmouth line from the Birmingham line, for instance, they would find only such a number of carriages as that 2,000 or 3,000 could go at a time ; if you had a continuous line you could bring them all down from the northern lines, and they would only be subject to the one inconvenience of a I single column. Supposing an invasion on the south coast, you could bring the whole of the northern forces down, and they could cross the Thames ?—Yes, you could have 20,000 or more men all at once. One of the lines is proposed to run down from the Great Western and the London and Birmingham, to cross the Thames near Battersea, to join the South- Western line?—Any communication, though it might be circuitous, that would enable all the carriages to be ap plicable, I think, would meet the point I allude to. Sir J. W. Gordon—l would mention, with regard to all lines of road by which military supplies of any kind are to be moved, that the Government ought certainly to be consulted in the tracing of the line, and to have the report of the proper military and civil authorities before that line is traced ; and fur this reason, that in case of military operations being carried on in the country, if those lines which are intended only for com mercial purposes were found to interfere with those operations, either by impeding our own movements or facilitating those of the enemy, the duty of the com manding officer would be to destroy them. To Sir J. F. Burgoyne—Are there any observations which you can offer to the commission upon the subject which they have before them, beyond what has been stated by yourself and Sir Willoughby Gordon ?—I am not aware that there are. The facility and rapidity of steam navigation render 113 very susceptible of being attacked on a sudden on the breaking out of a war, arid it is very necessary to improve our means of defence. The only resources which we have are the navy, fortifications, and the concentration of the troops ; the navy might not be able to come in at particular periods ; the fortifications have all yet to be made ; therefore it would be of still more importance to facilitate the concentration of the troops. I conceive that you might be able to concentrate your forces faster than the enemy could land them ; there is great diffi culty in landing a large number of troops ; It takes a very long time. We are to understand that you attach very great im portance to a line being carried across the Thames to connect the northern and the southern railways ?—Cer tainly, it is of very great importance, more particularly in London than in any part of Great Britain. [Alderman J. llumphery, M.P., examined.] And the advantage of the extension (of the South- Western) to London-bridge as regards the telegraph, would be, that it would bring the telegraph nearer to Lloyd's ?—lt would bring it to Lloyd's within a very short distance. It would bring it safely to a point so near Lloyd's, that it might be continued to Lloyd's?—lt would. An other advantage, I think, of having the terminus here would be with respect to the steam-boats coming east and west of Low - lit-bridge, bringing troops going south, south-west, or south-east. The Gravesend boats come no farther at present than London-bridge ; they come just through the bridge ; they are larger boats than the penny boats, and bringing troops up from any part of the Thames, they would bring them and land them on the wharf, and those troops would go into the railway carriages without being perceived by any person ; they might walk up the staircase from the river to the plat- I form, and the Government would be able to transport these troops without being incommoded by the crowded streets, or by any portion of the traffic that :might be in that neighbourhood. Troops, also, coming from the South-Western and proceeding by the S ou th-E as t ern , or vice versa, could pass under the dry arches of London bridge to either station, without going through the public streets, which I consider would be a great conve nience. The company having such a large frontage to the river, I have been measuring, since I have been here, the frontage of Somerset House ; I find it is 500 feet, and the frontage which the South-Western Company propose taking at London Bridge according to their plan is 700 feet, consequently it is by 200 feet a larger front age next the river than the Somerset House frontage, and therefore it would be a very imposing sight, and it would be a place of very great traffic. INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS. The first meeting of the session, Sir John Rennie, President, in the chair, was held on Tuesday evening, when a paper by Mr. Shears Assoe Just, C.E., was read, descriptive of the iron dock gates constructed by Messrs. Rennie for the Russian Government, and erected at Sevastopol on the Black Sea :—" Sevastopol is very peculiarly situated amidst rocky ground, rising so abruptly from the shore that there was not space for the buildings necessary for a dockyard. On account of the depth of water close in shore, and other natural advantages, the Emperor determined to make it the site of au extensive establishment, and as there is not any rise of tide in the Black Sea, and the construction of cofferdams would hare been very expensive and difficult in such a rocky position, it was decided to build three locks, each having a rise of ten feet, and at this level of shirty feet above the sea to place a main dock with lateral docks, into which vessels of war could be introduced, and the gates being closed, the water could be discharged by the subterranean con duits to the sea, and the vessel being left dry, could be examined and repaired even beneath the keel. A stream was conducted from a distance of twelve miles, to sup ply the locks, and to keep the docks full. This, how ever, has been found insufficient, and a pumping en gine has since been erected by Messrs. Maudslay and Field, for assisting. The original intention was to have made the gates of the docks of timber, but on account of the ravages of a worm, which it appears does not, as in the case of the terede navaEs, or the terebrans, confine itself to the salt water, it was resolved to make them with cast-iron frames, covered with wrought. iron plates. There are nine pair of gates whose openings vary from 64 feet in width, and 34 feet 4 inches in height, for ships of 120 guns, to 46 feet 7 i nc h es in width, an d 21 f eet i n height, for frigates. The mani festation of such masses of metal as composed these gates demanded peculiar machines ; accordingly, Messrs. Rennie fitted up a building expressly with machines con structed by Mr. Whitworth, by which all the bearing surfaces could be planed, and the holes bored in the ribs, and all the other parts, whether their surfaces were curved or planed. The planing was effected by tools which travelled over the surfaces backward and forward, cutting each way ; the piece of metal being either held is blocks if the surface was plane, or turned on centres if it was curved. The drilling was performed by ma chines, so fixed, that the pieces could be brought beneath or against the drills in the required direction, and guided so as to insure perfect uniformity and accordance between them. Travelling cranes were so arranged as to take the largest pieces from the wharf, and place them in the various machines by the agency of a very few men, notwithstanding their formidable dimensions ; the heel parts in some cases being upwards of 34 feet long. Each endless screw, for giving progressive motion to the cutting tools, was 45 feet long. Some idea may be formed of the manual labour avoided by the machines, when it is stated that the surface planed or turned in the nine pairs of gates equals 717,464 square inches, and in some cases a thickness of three-quarters of an inch was cut off. The surface in the drilled bolt-holes equals 120,000 square incises." The paper gave all the details of the construction of the gates and the machines for making them, anti was illustated by a series of detailed drawings. An interesting discussion followed, chiefly on the peculiarity of the site selected for the docks, and the supposed ravages of the worm in fresh water, as it was of unusual occurrence. It seemed to be the opinion that the temperature of climate influenced the ravages of these insects.

OF THE TRADE OF GREAT BRITAIN. The Board of Trade have published their accounts re lating to trade and navigation for the ten months ended sth November, 1844, 1845, and 1846. As respects the imports of the country, there has been on most articles a steady improvement. This is especially shown in liv ing animals, bread stuffs, and such commodities as are convertible into food. The number of oxen and bulls imported in the first ten months of 1844 was 2,889; in 1846 it rose to 13,087; cows increased from 836 to 18,029; sheep from 1,272 to 61,113 in the same period; and other living animals in the same proportion. This is a matter of no little consequence at the present time, as it is pretty well known that the stock of beasts in the United Kingdom is not so great as it has been. In some localities there may be sufficient, but if Ireland be taken into account, it will be evident that there is a falling off. These remarks will apply especially to a subject which appears to have been overlooked, viz., the supply of fowls for the ensuing spring. From what we can learn it will be deficient. Food being scarce, the breeders have been induced to bring their flocks to an early market, and judging from this fact, and also from the present price of eggs, we arrive at the conclusion that there will be a great deficiency. Those who have kept up their stock will realize good prices for two years to come. The imports of bacon, butter, and cheese, have been much extended. Of bacon 26 cwt. was imported in 1844; in 1846 the import was 1,668 cwt. A large portion of this, and of butter, which has increased 35 per cent. on the ten months, finds its way into the London market. We allude now to the imports from Ostend and other continental ports, from which places the qualities are superior. The import of cheese, all of which has been entered for home consumption, was 153,178 cwt. in 1814; in 1846 it was 242,442 cwt. Bread stuffs continue to pour in abundantly. The articles chiefly increased are—flour, wheat, oats, beans. Indian corn, Indian meal, and buck wheat. In the first ten months of 1844, 2,430,516 quarters of such bread stuffs as are entered by the quarter were imported ; against 2,842,454 quarters in 1846. Of those entered by the cwt., the imports, in 1844, were 908,697 cwt. ; against 2,768,401 cwt., in 1846. Showing an increased importation which may challenge a parallel. Tea, sugar, and coffee increase both in the quantities imported and consumed. The imports of tea, in 1844, were in round numbers 33,000,000 lbs.; and, in 1846, 43,000,000 lbs. The consumption, in 1844, was 34,000,000 lbs. ; and, in 1846, 39,000,000 lbs. Of un refined sugar the imports, in 1844, were 3,902,406 cwt., against 4,753,328 cwt., in 1846 ; whilst the consumption was 3,494,403 cwt, in the former period, against 4,408,313 cwt. in the latter. The imports of coffee, in 1844, were 34,000,000 lbs. ; and, in 1846, 41,000,000 lbs. The consumption in the first ten months was 26,000,000 lbs.; and in the latter 30,000,000 lbs. An increased import and consumption is also to be noted in rice, foreign fruits, tobacco, timber, and spirits. Thus it will appear that, in the staple imports of the country, there is great encouragement. The exports of British produce and manufactures are a little less, in the aggregate value, than in 1a44. Tho difference arises chiefly from cotton manufactures, of which the exports appear to be a million sterling less than in 1844. Cotton yarn and other articles, how ever, increase ; so that, on the whole, the falling off is only 100,0001., an amount which is less than the work of a day._ hi the tonnage of vessels employed in the foreign trade of the United Kingdom there has been an increase of 600,000 tons outwards, and 750,000 tons inwards. Vessels in the Irish and coasting trade have been in creased 950,000 tons inwards, whilst the clearance out wards have increased by 1,300,000 tons. The excise charged upon articles of home 'production is given for nine months. Upon the whole, there is an improvement. This is apparent in bricks, paper, hops, malt, and soap. On all the articles named there has been a decided increase. It is curious to observe, with regard to spirits, that while in England and Scotland the quantities retained for home consumption present no marked feature of increase, in Ireland there has been an excess of consumption, in 1846, over 1844, of no less than 1,435,927 gallons. MARSEILLES AND TOULON RAIL WAY AND DOCK COMPANY. ---- A public meeting of the shareholders in this under taking was held yesterday, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, to take into consideration the mea sures necessary for the dissolution of the company, and the return of the deposits to the shareholders. The directors, it is said, are willing to return the deposits, if indemnified. A resolution, setting forth that it is not expedient to proceed with the undertaking, but that it be abandoned, the affairs wound up, and the deposits returned to the shareholders, was passed unanimously ; and Messrs. Hemmings, Carvalho, and Spackman were appointed a committee to carry it iato effect. COURTS OF ALDERMEN AND COMMON COUNCIL. MEETING OF THE SUB-COMMITTEE AND GENERAL COMMITTEE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL. The General Committee having been summoned, about 120 of the members of the Common Council assem bled to consider the course to be pursued by them at the next Court, in consequence of the refusal of the Lord Mayor to put a question which had been moved and seconded. At the preliminary meeting of the subcommittee, Mr. R. L. JONES said that although he had been cor rectly reported in the press as having earnestly con tended for the right of the Court to insist upon the ques tion being put, he was desirous not to be understood as I opposed to the Court of Aldermen on all the inesSures which had been spoken of as likely to come under dis cussion. He desired to be understood as having confined himself to the one point, and he expressed an earnest wish that a conciliatory course would be adopted, and that all inclination to discussion would be dropped. The Sub-committee then heard the several reports of the officers, and resolved that Mr. Ashurst should be requested to state the views of the Sub-committee to the general meeting of the members. They then adjourned into the Council Chamber. Mr. ASIAURST having been called to the chair, and the minutes of the last meeting, with the resolutions, to assert the right of the Common Council being read, said, he was requested by the Sub -committee to state to them the course which they thought it desirable should be pursued by the Court when it should be assembled. From the nature of the contest that had arisen, and the circumstances which gave rise to it, the motives of the Court of Aldermen bad been canvassed, and much that was not strictly pertinent to the real question at that moment under discussion, had been brought into view. That Committee was not unconstitutional in their views, as one of the members of the Court of Alderman had proved himself to be, who had proposed that the Lord Mayor should not even summon the Common Council, but should do without that body altogether. Such an arrangement would doubtless be very congenial to the views of many of the members of that Court, but as the suggestion happened not to be consistent with law, the person who made it was soon corrected in that respect by his more discreet fellows. The Committee had however resolved, and no doubt they would be summoned by the Court to insist upon their right, and to assert that right firmly, steadily, legally, and peacefully, to have a question, when proved, put by the Lord Mayor. The only diffi culty they apprehended was one which the present meeting would be likely to obviate. In a popular assembly unity of action was necessary for the realisa tion of a common object. Now, it was probable that members, knowing, or believing they knew, what the objects of the aldermen were, would seek to bring int o discussion w h a t t h ey believed to be those objects, rather than the immediate question ; and the committee wished particularly that he should earnestly impress upon the members, that the only point before the Court, but which involved all others, was whether the Lord Mayor could suppress all discussion by refusing to put a lawful question. That question, and that alone, the Committee strongly urged the members to adhere to. If that power were once conceded to the Lord Mayor, there was an end to the power of the representa tive body, and the sooner they left the Court the better. for they would be dependent upon the opinions and mo tives of the Lord Mayor for the time being. If such a power should ultimately be established, it would be wholly useless to contiuue members of the Court. They would be merely a registering body fur the Aldermen. The committee felt it was most important not to introduce into the discussions any of the other questions that were coming before the Court. If these other questions dif fered, members might have different views, and none ought to be concluded on these subjects until the subjects themselves came regularly before them for discussion. If the right contended for by the Lord Mayor to sup press the discussion of any measure he did not approve wore submitted, he for one would unite with those who support him out of doors. Parliament must be then ap plied to, but in that respect ho spoke as an individual, and not as the organ of the sub •committee. Their re commendation was to confine themselves at the next court to one, and only one question, and tl preserve unity of purpose in the assertion of their rights to be masters of their own proceedings, and to have all legal q Committee) u m e s n r t o L s ow put (chairman the a l rm C a o n u o r t f . — t h ( e L ocuidt City cheers. . $ ) then moved a resolution approving of the course taken by the sub-committee. A discussion arose as to the propriety of giving certain notices to the Lord Mayor, but the matter was ultimately left to the sub-committee. LORD THLTRLOW AND THE PRINCE OF WALES.--- At Brighthelmstone the Prince of Wales, living with a gay set of frivolous young men who displeased the Ex- Chancellor much, asked him frequently to -dinner, bat always met with an excuse. At last, walking in front of the Pavilion in company with them, he met Lord Thurlow, and pressed him much to dine with him, say ing, " You must positively name a day." Lord Thurlow, looking at the party who were with the Prince, said, " If I must name a day and time, it shall be when your Royal Highness keeps better company." At another time, Lord Thurlow had voluntarily given the Prince some advice, which was f ar f rom b e i ng pa l a t a bl e . His Royal Highnes s was so angry t h at h e sent to him to say, that in future Carlton House gates would be shut against him. Lord Thurlow answered, "I am not sur prised; proffered favours always stink." The Prince, , conscious of the ungenerous return he had made, ac knowleged his error, and they again became friends. The Prince once sent Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt to the Ex- Chancellor, to ask his opinion respecting some difference in the Royal Family. " You may tell your master," said Thurlow, "I shall not give him my opinion." "My Lord," said Sir Thomas, " I cannot take that message to His Royal Highness." " Well, then," said Lord Thur low, " You may tell him from me, that if he can point out one single instance in which he has followed my advice, I will give him my opinion on the matter."— Lord Campbell. BROOKS V. DOCKET. Rule absolute to enter the verdict for the defendant. CONSPIRACY.-THE QUEEN V. CHARLES WRIGHT AND SOPHIA. FENNELL. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL applied to have judgment arrested in this case. The defendant (Wright) was in court, bat as the female defendant had not received any notice of the proceeding, be only applied to the Court on behalf of Wright. An outlawry against the de fendants was reversed by consent last term. The general charge against them was, obtaining a fraudulent transfer, by means of false letters of administration, certain East India Stock. The first count alleged, that on the day mentioned there was standing in the books of the East India Company, in the name of Charles Campbell, cer tain interest or shares in the stock of the company, of the value of 9651. It appeared that Campbell died, and that his wife Mary survived him, but she died without taking out letters of administration. Sophia was one of their children, and was married to George Fennell ; and it was charged that she and other defendants conspired to obtain letters of administration from the Prerogative Court, in the name of Fennell, in order to get " means and power " to obtain the said stock. He apprehended that the Court would be of opinion that this term was far too vague and general. All the counts, with the exception of two, were open to objection, as they did not state who was to be defrauded, nor whom the stock belonged to. The COURT acceded to the application. SPINES V. BARDELL. _ _ Mr. Sergeant Wlmums applied for a venire de novo, • or for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict for the plaintiff was against the evidence. The case was tried at the last sitting at Guildhall before Lord Denman, and was brought to recover the keep of a horse, which the defendant had sent back to the plaintiff from whom he had bought it, because it had " farcy," " rowelled," and was a perfect "nuisance." Th e case will, no dou b t, b e in the recollection of our readers. A cross action was brought in the Common Pleas, which was decided the other way. Lord DENmAx considered that the verdict was correct, but when he came au to c e:fi v e . the dates his opinion was strengthened. The plaintiff acted, he thought, perfectly bond fi de. lie, however, granted a rule. This was an action brought by the plaintiff; the well known advertising agent, to recover from the defendant, a provisional committeeman, the amount of a bill con tracted by the company in the h e was connecte d, for advertising their project the n ewspapers. I t was tried at the last sittings at London, but the jury found a verdict for the defendant. Mr. COCKUURN, Q.C., now moved for a rule calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a new trial had, o n th e groun d o f misdirection by the Lord Chief Justice. The question at issue was whether the defendant had or had not re voked a consent which he gave to th e secretary to place his name on the provis ional committee before the debt in question was Cont b ra Ct u e t d. evi l d t en w c a e s w e a o s nt a e d n d d u e ce d dthaatt the had given no consent to have his name pl ace d on t h e managing commi ttee , trial to show that he had acted in that cap ac ity, Th e misdirection of which he complained was this :—One of the questions left to the jury was, and ho s u b m itt e d i t was incorrect, with some little hesitation as his Lord ship's opinion was consonant with the opinion of the Exchequer. siloenftal tocotmhemitymwanasatththise, Lord DENNtANT—I consider all my di rect i ons to have been conformable with the opinions o f th e C ourt of his consent at the time, that they should find for th e time, and if they considered that he h a d not revoked , E va x s ch t e h q e ue d r e . fen T d h a : na e t qauei.,srtioovni plaintiff. Mr. Coexnuitzi held that this was an incorrect way to put the question. The question for the consideration of the jury was, whether the defendant authorised his name to be put down in the Provisional Committee, and what liability he incurred in consequence of this act. Now, he submitted, that it wus no question to the jury to say what was the liability of a Provisional Committee man. The duty and responsibility of such an office was not defined, and, therefore, the jury had no right to . , assume their nature. Lord DENMAN considered that a jury had a right to bring their experien c e to bear upon the matter, and t o say, to the best of their ability, what were the responsi bilities of such lan office. Mr. COCKBURN went on—lf they were to go back to 1845, they woukl not find two men to agree on such a question. Then again, even up to this time, no definite view had been agreed to by the courts of law on the matter. Then how much more difficult was it to satisfy the minds of twelve men on the subject, seeing different opinions prevailed. Lord Datimaav said the Learned Counsel for the de fendant contended that they should not take the respell. sibilities considered to attach to the office at the time of the trial, but at the time the contract was made. He thought that a j ust o b servat i on , an d adopted it. He called the attention of the jury to the prospectus. The Court t oo k t i me to decide the point. BAIL COURT, j". 14. THE QUEEN V. HINCKLEY. Sir F. THESLGER, on the part of Mr. Hall, a magis trate for the co un ti es of Staffor d an d Derby, moved for a criminal infora3ation t o be filed against Arthur Hinckley, cl er k o f the peace for the county o f St a ff or d , for endeavourin g t a o provoke Mr. Hall to a breach of the peace. It a p peared that the parties h a d l ong b een at feud on account of the removal of a fence, and that Hinckley had adopted all sorts of methods of annoying Hall, and at length applied the terms felon and coward to that gentleman., Mr. Justice Elam—There is sufficient for a rule to show cause. THE QUEEN V. THE: CHURCHWARDIZNE OF THE PARISH OF BT.. DUNSTAN, STEPNEY. The ATT ORNF.YsGENERAL in this case, which was ono of disputed church -rates, obtained a rule calling upon the churchwardens of theparish of St. Dunstan, Stepney, to show cause ',y a mandamus s h ou ld no t i ssue commanding th em to allow Mr. Edward Horton, a parishioner, to i nspect the vestry book, containing the proceedings of a vestry meeting which took place in December last, at which a church-rate was proposed and carried. COW? T OF _EXCHEQUER, Jan. 14. AtEaT v. HEATH. This cause was hied before the Lord Chief Baron at he last sittings aft er term at Guildhall, and a verdict found for the plaintiff. MA MARTIN ROW moved fora rule nisi to set aside LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Jan. 14. Lord DENMAN, at the sitting of the Court, gave judgment in the following cases : POLLET V. FORREST. This was a writ of error from the Common Pleas. The case was tried at Lancaster, and the verdict was for the defendant. The error was alleged to be the insufficiency of the instrument by which the defendant held a certain piece of land, and the question at issue, whether the plaintiff could receive 2s. 6d. per yard for all the hay sold by the defendant in the shape of a penalty, or as a rent service. A distress was put in, and the jury found for the arrears due, the present plaintiff being in the position of a de fendant. The present plaintiff contended that the money must be recovered as a penalty, and not as a rent service as it was found. The Court considered that the present defendant was entitled to judgment in his behalf. HOPE V. HARMAN. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Alexander Beresford Hope, against the executors of his late uncle, Philip John Hope, to recover the possession of a large quantity of jewels of great value, which he contended were left him by his uncle's will. Two questions were raised in the case—whether the deceased intended the instrument by which the jewels were alleged to have been demised to the plaintiff to have effect; and whether certain alterations which were made could be considered legal, ;and consequently binding upon the defendant, who was the deceased's executor. To the verdict, which was for the plaintiff, various objections were raised. It appeared that the instrument was never out of the possession of Mr. Hope, the deceased, and that the alterations referred to were attested by a witness. The Court had no doubt that the deceased intended the will for legal operation, whatever the nature of the bequests might be. There was a differ ence of opinion amongst the witnesses with respect to the box in which the goods were deposited, and conse quently an important question was raised with respect to documents, or other things, which betrayed a change of outward appearance ; but an instrument, which bore the signature of an attesting witness, ought to be considered as regular in every respect, ex cept the contrary was proved in evidence. There was another extraordinary fact in the case, namely, that the attestation stated that certain words in the margin of the will were signed with the initials of the deceased, when in fact it appeared that he had signed his name at length, but, nevertheless, that the additions were in the signature of the deceased and properly at tested. was perfectly clear. Mr. Justice Patteson, Mr. Justice Coleridge, and the late Mr. Justice Wil liams thought the verdict warranted by the evidence ad duced, and that it was the only verdict so warranted. The Court, however, paused before giving judgment in the ease, in order that they might consider the number of objections discussed, but particularly whether the in strument could be considered to convey anything, and whether the attestation being only by one person, did not invalidate it ; but the rule was obtained on the ground that the verdict was against evidence, and therefore that was the point which the Court was called upon to de cide, and they felt it impossible to come to the conclu sion that the verdict for the plaintiff was against the evidence adduced. They considered, also, that there was no misdirection, and therefore the judgment of the Court was in favour of the plaintiff. WILLIAMSON v. HAGGARTH. This was an action against the defendant for disposing of turf to which he had no right. He had pleaded that he acted under the instructions of another, and a rule for a new trial was sought. The COURT acceded to the application, and considered that the defendant should offer a plea of abatement. SMITH V. HOPPER. This was an action against the defendant to recover damages for breaking the plaintiff's gates, and a verdict was found for him with considerable damages. The defend ant claimed a nonsuit on the ground that he had not re ceived the notice of the action specified in conformity with the Highway Act. The defendant contended that he had acted boni fide, but several cases went to show that bona fide was not sufficient to bring the act within the meaning of the Highway Act. The COURT considered that the defendant, who was a public officer, might have thought himself justified in the course he adopted, and that the clauses of the Act ought to receive a liberal construction. They must, however, discharge the rule. DOR DEM GOODY V. CARTER. Rule discharged. LORD DOWN V. THOMPSON. Rule discharged. the verdict, on the ground of misdirection, and as against evidence. Plaintiff had requested the defendant to pur chase for him a number of shares in the Kentish Coast Railway Company. The defendant purchased what he believed to be genuine shares in the company, but which were afterwards discovered to have been fraudulently issued ; and the present action was brought for the pur pose of recovering back the money paid to the defendant for these shares. The questions left for the jury were, was the scrip sold by defendant to plaintiff fraudulent scrip; then, if the scrip was really fraudulent, what was the effect of it, and what was it which the plaintiff really intended to buy, and the defendant intended to sell. Mr. MARTIN now contended that these questions were not properly left to the jury. Mr. Baron PARKE—The question seems to me to be really this, what did the parties mean by the purchase of shares in the Kentish Coast Railway Company. It ap pears that there were no other shares in the market known as Kentish Coast Railway shares; it is, therefore, perfectly reasonable to suppose that the plaintiff in tended to purchase, and bargained for the delivery of, these shares. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—In my opinion the plaintiff in this case has got what he bargained for. Rule granted. CLARK V. NEWSOM AND ANOTHER. In this case, which was an actionioTfaise imprison ment on an alleged charge of forging railway scrip, and in which a verdict was returned for defendant, a rule nisi for a new trial was obtained by Sir F. Thesiger, on tho ground of misdirection on the part of the Lord Chief Baron, before whom the cause was tried. With reference to the point reserved at the trial, as to whether the forgery of the scrip amounted to a felony, or only to a misdeamenour, the Court were of opinio n that the offence did not amount to a felony, inasmuch as the scrip was not an accountable receipt.—Rule granted. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.-GOLDICOTT L. BEAGIN. In this case, which was tried before the Lord: Chie, Baron at Guildhall, a verdict had been returned for 4001. damages. Mr. Cockburn, who appeared for the defense, having retired before the cause was called on, alleging as his reason for so doing that the Lord Chief Baron had, before the trial, in the hearing of the jury who were to try the action, made use of observations so calculated to prejudice their minds, that to have a fair trial was im possible. Mr. COCKBURN now moved for a new trial, on the ground of miscarriage of justice, arising from the ex pressions made use of by the Learned Judge. Common sense would tell any person that when a judge, ap pointed, as in the present case, to try the cause said, in the hearing of the jury, " I have read your affidavits upon which you obtained your new trial, and I am clearly of opinion that it would be downright insanity to attempt to call evidence," the: effect would be most pre judicial. Besides those affidavits, the defendant was prepared to call fresh witnesses, which he firmly be lieved, had he been allowed fairly to have done, would have been sufficient to have obtained a verdict for his client. Mr. Baron ALDEasoN--Why not have stated that? Mr. COMDURN—Under the circumstances of the case, I could not, in justice to the interests of my client, have proceeded with the trial. There were but two courses open for me, either to proceed with my case or to with draw at once. Mr. Baron PARKE_There was a third course open for you—to call upon his Lordship to explain whether what he said referred to the merits of the case or to the mode of c@nducting it. The LORD CHIEF BARON—I beg most distinctly to state that there was no necessity for the Learned Counsel to have adopted that course, for I stated dis tinctly that what I said had not the slightest reference to the merits of the case. Mr. CocxnuuN—With great submission, my Lord, the question is not what were the intentions of your Lordship, but what were the effects it would be likely to produce in the minds of the jury who were to try the use. LORD CHIEF BARON—I stated that for the purpose of setting myself right with the Court. Mr. COCKBURN—I am sure it would not for a moment enter into the minds of any member of the bar, that your Lordship wished to do anything but what would promote the furtherance of the ends of justice. LORD CHIEF BARON—Nobody knows better than yourself, Mr. Cockburn, that the words I made use of had no reference to the merits of the cause ; they re ferred only to the inconvenience of calling witnesses in such cases as the present. Mr. COCKBURN—StiII, my Lord, I must look to the natural effects of your Lordship's observations. LORD CHIEF BARON—What I said, although it might be an act of indiscretion, which I admit it was,; was said only to the counsel, and could only be understood by a member of the bar, and could not have the least effect upon the minds of the jury. Mr. Baron PLATT—I should have been most happy if, when I was at the bar, the Learned Judge had given me his opinion before proceeding with the case. Mr. COCKBURN—But then, my Lord, everybody is not possessed of the same high mental courage and endow ments, combined with such extensive legafacquirements, supported by such an universal opinion of your Lord ship's talents, and successful application of abilities, as your Lordship is. We, the members of the bar, may be the humble imitators of your Lordship, but at an immea surable distance from you. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Do you intend that for irony? Mr. COCKBURN—I speak the genuine feelings of my heart, and of the bar, when I humbly attempt to give expression to the general opinion as to the uniform suc cess of his Lordship while at the bar. Mr. Baron PARKE—Is there any precedent for such a course as you are now adopting ? Mr. COCKBURN—None that I know of, my Lord. Mr. Baron PARKE—I think it would be highly incon venient to establish such a precedent, or take away from the judge the discretion of giving expression to his feelings while the case is being proceeded with. Mr. COCYBURN—On the other hand, my Lord, it would be a matter of very grave importance to allow the judge to prejudice any case that may be brought before him. Mr. Baron PARKE—Do your affidavits state that you had witnesses in court ready to be called ? Mr. CocKaunw—They do, my Lord. The LORD CHIEF BARON—Then with my entire and cordial approbation you may take a rule for a new trial upon terms, with respect to the costs, to be hereafter determined by the Court.— Rule granted. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Yesterday Mr. Hurtable, a tailor, carrying on an ex tensive business in Wine-office•court, Fleet -street, was indicted for an assault upon Mr. Henniker, a barrister, residing in Chancery-lane. The facts were not gone into, but upon the case being called on, Mr. Bodkin, on behalf of the defendant, ad dressed the Court, and offered an apology. Mr. Ballantine, on the part of the complainant, ex pressed himself satisfied, whereupon Mr. Sergeant Adams inflicted a nominal fine of Is., and Mr. Huxtablo was discharged. It appears that when the case was heard at Bow street, the magistrate there was about to inflict a fine, but the complainant wished the matter taken to the Sessions, and the above is the result. PROCTORIAL AFFRAYS.-CIVIL WAR. We do lament with all our heart the nocturnal uproar and very uncivil war to which this wretched proctorial controversy has at length led. It is positively deplorable. Night after night are we disturbed with sounds of riot, shouting, mobbing, confusion, running to and fro, and everything that indicates the existence of an actual street war. And worst of all, what is the source of this commotion ? Ask any respectable woman whom you meet in the street, and you will get no answer. No, no, —these are infandi dolores. Any belladonna of mode rate modesty would blush to explain the cause of these belles horrida bella. Yet who are the parties on one side of this conflict ? Are they bull-dogs ? are they mad dogs ? Aro they waggoners ? or pig drivers ? or are they even policemen ? No, not at all ; we shall not name them, because from the respect we bear to them we are really sorry to find them in such company. Noscitur a socus. And who are the parti es associated i n this hubbub ? The professional names of the two belligerent parties began with the same two parties as the word profession. Incredible ! Is this the 19th century, or do we dream ? How is it that in our wild and disjointed visions we form such ridiculous associations—such strange, unnatural groupings ? Humane capiti cervicem proctor equinam Jungere si relit, &c. But let us not be misunderstood. We utterly and thoroughly condemn these riotings. The proctors, in the meantime, are doing nothing snore than their duty. They are fulfilling their office. Such game they are bound to ferret out and to lead captive. They there fore ought not to be interfered with. To these gentle men it must be a very unpleasant duty—a duty alien alike to their habits and to their likings—still, as proc tors, it is part of their duty. Why, therefore, break the peace and interrupt the comfort of peaceable citizens to annoy those whe are only agents and instruments in the matter. If the law or the custom be wrong let it be altered ; but let it be assailed by petition, by public and peaceable demonstration—by sober and legitimate effort —n.l4 by nocturnal brawls and ineffectual uproar. We do think tho University would consult its own comfort, credit, and respectability, by taking the initiative in this matter, and flinging to the winds a prerogative which is a disgrace, and a privilege which is a burden, —Cambridge Advertiser. DURATION OF THE LIVES 01" ----- NOBLES AND SOVE REIGNS.—ExcIuding deaths by violence, the average duration of life among the English aristocracy was at a very low point in the fourteenth century ; it rose to a maximum in the early part of the sixteenth century ; and thenceforward it gradually declined till the close of the eighteenth century. The average duration of life (as inferred from the age at death) of sovereign princes since the Christian era (excluding violent deaths), is, on the contr a ry, gra d ua lly an d steadily increased rom about 52 years, in the first five centuries, to about 58 years in the last century. The most recent comparisons give the whole expectation of life at 21 years of age in the three classes of the sovereigns, the aristocracy, and the gentry of this country, as 54, 65, and 67- years respectively, and at the age of 51 the expectation is 64, 72, and 74 years. Thus kings are placed at the bottom of the scale. _ _ . FRENCH FRUITS.—A vessel arrived at the port of Liverpool from Bordeaux, has brought an entire cargo of plums and prunes, the production of France, in a dried state, consisting of 220 barrels, 203 half barrels, and 130 quarter barrels of the latter description of fruit, and 57 cases and 122 boxes of the finer kind, known in the trade and by the public as French or imperial plums. A complete cargo, and to such an extent, of these articles is most unusual, and , must be attributed to the produc tiveness of the past season for such fruits. ' DESPERATE BURGLARY, ACCOM PANIED WITH VIOLENCE. About one o'clock in the morning of Saturday last, one of the most daring burglaries which has been attempted in this neighbourhood for a long time past, took place at Lady Barn farm, in Burnage, which is occupied by an old farmer named John Wood. Thb old man, who is upwards of 70 years of age, is reported in the neighbour hood to'be very wealthy, and rumour (as in many other instances) has no doubt exaggerated his riches, caused in a great measure by his eccentric and somewhat penu rious ways. The report of his wealth seems to have gained strength from the fact of his having for several years systematically prevented any person from entering his bed room. Mr. C. Wood, a nephew of the old man, also lives at Lady Barn, and with his wife, four children, and a domestic servant, make up the whole of the in mates. About one o'clock on Saturday morning, a band of nine or ten men broke into the house by forcing open the kitchen window and proceeded up stairs. Some of them had their faces blackened; others wore masks; one or two carried pistols, and all the rest were armed with bludgeons. In order to prevent identificatien, some of them had thrown over their clothes loose calico frocks. They at first proceeded cautiously in the execu tion of their nefarious design ; but, having once got into the house, they prowled about, swearing and cursing most horribly. One of their first acts was to burst open the bedroom door of the nephew, Mr. Charles Wood, whom they forcibly dragged out of bed, when one of the burglars presented a pistol at his head, and swore he would blow out his brains if he gave the least alarm. Similar threats were used towards his wife, who, at her peril, was told to keep quiet, when others of the party seized the little daughter, and giving her a candle made her direct them to the old man's bedroom. Having broken open the door, they presented a pistol at the head of the farmer, and bade him reveal where his treasures were secreted. The quaking old man was not very prompt in making the expected revelations : his fears and his love of his gold, both operated in one direction; and the ruffians kept urging him to confession by the most hor rible and barbarous threats. Some menaced him with speedy hanging ; others called out, " Set the bed on fire ;" others declared that they would come and kill his cows; and another, brandishing his weapon, exclaimed, " Aye, he would not let any one make his bed, but we'll make it for him." In this way the masked and blackened band talked, threatened and cursed for some time, around the bed of the farmer; but what infor mation they succeeded in extracting from him we cannot say. In all probability he had little to com municate. He did, however, • give them an old gingham purse, containing somewhere about 65., but this only seemed to exasperate them. The burglars very deli berately ripped open the bed, in search of concealed treasure, scattering the feathers about the room in all directions, but finding no money. The ruffians, however, at length left him, and, with the little girl as their lamp lighter, ransacked the whole house; but, after a long and careful search, for nearly an hour and a half, they only succeeded in finding one purse, containing 241. This, together with a watch, and two or three other trifling articles, constituted the whole of the booty, so far as is yet known ; for the old man is either unable or unwilling to make any further disclosures. A number of title deeds and leases, which they had stolen, were discovered on the following day, having been found in an adjoining ing field, tied up in a pocket handkerchief. Three men, whose names are Emanuel Wainwright, Henry Hartley, and John Holden, have been apprehended on suspicion of having been concerned in this daring outrage ; but as yet the evidence against them is only slight. Wain wright lives in the neighbourhood, and some of the foot prints in the garden are said to be his. The clogs which he wears are said to be somewhat peculiar, so as to enable parties who are acquainted with him to speak to this fact. The prisoners were brought up before Mr. Trafford, at the New Bailey, on Monday, and, after some little evidence had been taken, they were remanded til this day. Manchester Courier.

C S h i a r rt F e r r e H de o r a ic s k e Currie was born and Haileybury College, arrived at Calcutta in 1818, and after twenty years of civil service, latterly as district com missioner at Gorackpore and Gazepore, joined the Earl of Auckland at Simla, in 1838, as government secretary for the north-western provinces, and accompanied his lordship to Lahore. In 1842 he was appointed by Lord Ellenborough government secretary for the foreign department. He continued to discharge the duties of this important office through the glorious campaigns of 1845 46. The Governor-General in his despatch to the Secret Committee, dated Camp, Ferozepore, December 31, 1845," writes —" I owe great obligations to the Chief Secretary to the Government, Frederick Currie, Esq., who has, during all the various and sometimes conflicting duties in which I have been engaged, given, me his sound ad vice and active aid, sometimes accompan}ing me in the field, and at all times evincing the coolest judgment, and exhibiting the resources of his experience to the great advantage of the Company's service." Sir Frederick's services are again acknowledged in the general order, Feb., 1846 ; and he was afterwards deputed to conduct the Maharajah Dhulep Singh in state to his palace in the citadel of Lahore, and to arrange the treaty of Om ritzri. In November last Sir Frederick Currie was una nimously appointed by the Court of Directors to fill the next vacancy in the Supreme Council of India ; and the Gazette of Friday, - the 18th of December, shows that her Majesty% Government are honourably alive to the merits of this long career of distinguished public service.— Northampton Mercury. Dispatches were received "euterday, at the Colonial office, from the Governors of the North American Pro vinces. Dispatches were also receiv'ed' yesterdaY from the Governor of the Mauritius.
