A BABY AMBASSADOR.—Here we met Per taub Sing, a boy of seven years of age, son of Sher Sing, and grandson of Maharajah. He had been sent by his father to ac company us on our march through his district. Pertaub Sing was handsomely dressed, armed with a small ornamented shield, sword, and matchlock, all in miniature, covered with jewels, and escorted by a small party of Sikh cavalry and some guns. His horse was naturally of a white colour, but dyed with henna to a deep scarlet. He is one of the most intelligent boys I ever met with, very good-looking, with singularly large and expres sive eyes. His manners are in the highest degree attractive, polished, and gentlemanlike, and totally free from all the mau vaise honte and awkwardness so generally found in European children of that age. In the course of conversation I asked him if his matchlock was a real one, and it he ever shot with it. He jumped off his chair, highly indignant at the question, and, after rapidly loading his musket, exclaimed, " Now, what shall I shoot?" I replied that I saw nothing in the camp at present it would be safe to shoot at, and asked him if he thought he could hit a man at a hundred yards' distance; to which he re plied, without a moment's hesitation, pointing to the crowd of Sikh chiefs and soldiers that surrounded the tent, "'these are all your friends ; buz show me an enemy to tha British Govern ment, and you shall soon see what I can de."— Osborne's Court and Camp of Runicet FAIRLOP FAIR.—The Venerable Archdeacon Jones, Vicar of West Ham ; the Hon. and Rev.

LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1840. METROPOLITAN PATENT WOOD PAVEMENT COMPANY, On the Principle of that laid down at Whitehall. Capital 150,0001., in 15,000 Shares of 101. each. Deposit 31. per Share. PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE. G. T. Andrews, Esq. G. Brydges Le Warner, Esq. Col. S;r Burges Camac,K. C.S. George Lungley, Esq. W. Edward Grainger, Esq. I'. Lamic Murray, Esq. George Barrett Lennard, Esq. Clement Tabor, Esq. With power to add to their number. BANKEtts—Messrs. Ladbrokes, Kingscote, and Co. SweetToes—Messrs. Hodgscn and Burton, No. 10, Salis bury-street, Strand. This Company has been formed for the purpose of applying a principle of science, discovered by a Foreigner of distinction, (and for which a Patent has been obtained), to various pur poses of construction, and more particularly in the present in stance, to the very ext, nsive one of Wood-Pavement. With a view to provide a reraedy for the incessant noise, dust and mud, to which stone and Macadamized pavements arc subject, public attention has of late been much directed to Wood. This material has been for years used with success in Russia, Germany, and America, although not constructed upon a mathematical principle ; which deficiency will be effec tually remedied by the application of the present mode. The great merit of this invention consists in the application of such a principle, simple in itself, to the form of the blocks. The mode in which they are placed admits of their being so firmly united together, as to produce one solid and compact body ; thereby preventing the Pavement from losing its level and smoothness, and rendering it much safer, and less slippery, than any other. The specimen lately laid down at Whitehall has not only called forth the unqualified approbation of the Commissioners of her Majesty's Woods and Forests, for whom the work has been executed, but has also excited the admira tion of scientific men in general, who have expressed their opinion of the extensive applicability of the invention, and that such a Pavement will be most enduring, and, not suffering from abrasion, must alike be free from dust and mud. It is, therefore, confidently anticipated, that this mode of Pavement will be universally adopted for the Streets and Car riage-ways of this metropolis; combining, as it does, so many advantages, and particularly, that it can be laid down with great economy, compared with ordinary Pavements, and kept in repair at a moderate annual expense. The simplicity of its principle admits of the work being executed with great rapi dity, so as to interfere in a very slight degree with the gene ral traffic. It may be mentioned that the portico in front of Buckingham Palace, and the space under the marble arch, lately paved, were completed in the short period of foar days. To show the extent to which the operations of the Company may be carried, it is only necessary to state that the Roads and Streets in the Metropolis alone, which are now paved with Stone, or Macadamized, comprise between five and six millions of square yards, and for which, in process of time, there can be no doubt Wood will be substituted; so that the undertaking of the Company will assure an ample remuneration to the Share holders, even calculating upon a small profit per square yard, independent of a considerable annual revenue, for keeping the Pavement in good repair. The reduction of the present large amount of the Paving Rates will be considerable, for it appears, from the authentic returns, that the sum appropriated by the various Parishes in the Metropolis for that purpose consider ably exceeds 200,0001. a year; the annual expense incurred by the Parish of St. Marylebone, for keeping the Macadamized road in Oxford-street alone in proper repair, has amounted, upon an average, to the enormous sum of 5,0001. Arrangements and Contracts have already been made with the parish of St. Marylebone to pave a considerable portion of Oxford-street, which is now in progress, as well as with other parties, and negotiations are pending for executing works to a great extent. The present Proprietors having purchased the right to use the Patent for the Metropolis and twenty miles round, and being assured that the success of the principle has opened an extensive field for profitable investment, propose to form the undertaking into a Company upon a more enlarged scale, and to extend the capital to 150,0001., divided into Fifteen Thou sand Shares of 101. each. It is intended to convert the Ca pital of the present Proprietary, amounting to 12,0001. into Six Thousand Shares, with the deposit of 2/. per Share as paid thereon—the remaining 9,000 Shares to be issued to the pub lic at a premium of 11. per Share, in addition to the deposit of 2/., making the entire deposit 3'. per Share; such premium to be ap propriated to the present Proprietors, as a compensation for the hazard they have run in testing the principle of the Patent, and of establishing the soundness and practicability of the in vention, and as a consideration for admitting the public into a participation of its advantages. It is intended to apply for Letters Patent, by which the lia bility of Shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions. The entire management of the affairs of the Company to be vested in the Provisional Committee until the Direction shall be formed. The Directors to consist of the Provisional Com mittee, and five other persons to be elected by the Shareholders within three months from the Ist of May, 11540 ; and one month's previous notice to be given by the Provisional Com mittee of such election, by advertisement in three of the London newspapers. The qualification for a Director to be one hundred Shares. Persons holding ten Shares to be entitled to one Vote ; twenty-five Shares, two Votes ; fifty Shares, three Votes ; and onehundred Shares and upwards, four Votes. Models and Reports, as to '.he merits of the invention, by Surveyors, and other competent persons, may be seen at the offices of the Company, No. 20, John-street, Adelphi. Applications for Shares to be addressed to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, and to the Solicit-ors, where Pro spectuses may be obtained. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

EXTRAORDINARY TROUT.--" Forty pounds, on the honour of a British officer !" exclaimed th e M a j or. j ventured to express my disbelief. " Forty pounds to an ounce ; feel him." The Major placed the rod for a moment in my hands. The effect was that of being fast to a log of wood, which occasionally rose and descended—nothing more. After the Major had gradually reeled up a great portion of his line, before he or any of us expected it, the creature gave a bound from the surface, three or four yards high, and exhibited, in deed, one of the monsters of Loch Gutane. The Major's dexterity was now really worthy of admiration. The rod was down in a moment, so that his antagonist took nothing by his leap. That was his last effort; he soon appeared on the.sur face, occasionally showing the whiteness of his stomach, and wa s cautiou s ly airl safely gaffed by Owen.—Stortsman in Ire land.

From their minute construction, and convenient form, deaf persons are enabled to wear them entirely unseen, and they may be inserted and removed with the greatest fa cility.

LIVERPOOL MEETING.—It will be recollected that there was recently held at Liverpool a large ineetin.., to petition and protest against Lord Stanley's Bill, for disfranchis ing a great number of the electors in Ireland. On Wednesday last an attempt was made by the Tories, and about the town of Liverpool, to get up a counter-demonstration. Th e C l ergy, of course, were found there in force. fanning the flames of civil and religious intolerance. Sir Thomas Brancker was voted to the chair, and called on Mr. Aspinall to move the first resolu tion. He was succeeded by Mr. Robinson, and the third reso lution by the Rev. Hugh fil`Neile. The meeting was after wards addressed by Mr. T. B. Horsfall, Mr. Sheppard, Mr. C. Lawrence, Mr. R. Gladstone, and others. The meetirr , se parated after giving three c heers for Lord Sando n , Mr. Cress well, Lord Stanley, and the other Conservative Members of the county. The late ex-Sheriff Parkins, according to a New York paper, has left 3g0,0001. in the French Fuas, and 20,0001. in the hands of Messrs. Stone and Sons, who are his agents in London. Mr. OASTLER.—This gentleman has indited a letter to a Tory paper, taking for his text a passage in Mr. O'Connor's defence on Monday, apparenily for the purpose of abusing Mr. O'Connell, whom he calls all those ugly names which the most virulent enemies of the lion, Gentleman are wont to bestow on him. THE PHARISEE'S ADDRESS. (From the Examiner.) By an extremely curious manifesto before us, it ap pears that Mr. William Tooke has been moved to be come candidate for the representation of Finsbury by a comparison between his deserts and those of the sit ting Members. After an impartial estimate of his own worth, and a glance at the utter unworthiness of Messrs. Duncombe and Wakley, Mr. Tooke comes to the con clusion, both on spiritual and temporal grounds, that it is absolutely essential to the best interests of society that he should be elected Member for Finsbury. His presenting himself is purely a matter of consc i ence . H e finds in himself the righteousness exceeding much, without which no legislative or other labours can bear good fruit, and, discerning large beams in the eyes of the sitting Members, while he perceives his own to be with out mote, he offers himself purely and solely on the ground of his superior holiness. His logic is shortly this :—Finsbury wants a pious man ; I am an exceedingly pious man ; therefore I am what Finsbury wants. As for the deserts of the sitting Members, be glances at them as " unworthy agents," " men of immoral and irreligious life and conversation," and " latitudinarians in politics and religion ;" and he disposes of them finally in a brace of Watts's verses, one verse for each Member. Mr. Tooke observes that persons of the latitudina rian section, in which he classes Messrs. Dunconibe and Wakley, haver never originated any great " measures of mercy," such as Negro Emancipation, the Factory Bill, and the Chimney Climbing Boy Act, for which last Act Mr. Tooke claims the glory. We confess that this seems to us rather a hard test, inasmuch as the " measures of mercy" are happily as exhaustible as the practices of cruelty and oppression. Mr. Tooke had the luck to a obtain a position on the back of the climbing boy, and he has risen in the public view by narrow, crooked, and sooty ways, and culminated at the chimney top ; but what are legislators and aspirants for public favour to do, who find slavery abolished, factory labour regulated, and climbing boys protected by Mr. Tooke ? Standing on the pedes• tal of the soot-bag, Mr. Tooke deals rather too hardly with men who have not had the fortune to discover a grievance. Let hint ask himself where would have been his claims if another Tooke had anticipated his great chimney-sweeping agitation ? What would he have been without climbing boys, and the narrow, dirty way through which he has ascended to the very chimney pots of the Temple of Fame ? But for climbing boys he would have been even as the unrighteous, and no better than Mr. Duncombe or Mr. Wakley. How are those gentlemen to provide themselves with the great " measures of mercy" which may free them from Mr. Tooke's reproach ? Why, even the " direful dog-cart nuisance" has been abated. Flea emancipa tion—the emancipation of the industrious fleas, s o cruelly tormented in chains in the Regent-street exhi bition —remains certainly to be taken up ; but what is one question, and that a flea question, between two Members? Had Mr. Tooke entered public life a little later, he himself might have been glad to show his zeal for humanity in a measure for flea emancipation. It was his good fortune to begin his career when grievances were rife, and when a man might pick and choose be tween blacks and chimney -sweepers, and a dozen other prime oppressions.

SUGAR.—The scanty supply of British Plantation Sugar is much felt by our Refiners as well as grocers ; they have been very desirous during the last two days to purchase all descriptions, but more particularly brown and middling yellow sorts, and have offered prices equal to those of Fri day last, and in some cases even rather above, but owing to the cause above stated buying has been much restricted. New St. Vincent's at 725, middling grey and Jamaica of strong quality 703, and from that downwards to Gss for very low brown Berbice. This afternoon the small quantity of Sugar on show prevented purchases of moment, either for grocery or re fining purposes. The sales amounted to only 100 libds at stiff prices, making the rise 6d during the week, and 800 hhds and tierces disposed of. REFINED.—The home trade bought sparingly of Re fined goods in the early part of the week, and prices gave way 6d to is per cwt., but during the last t wo d ays they bare shown more desire to do business, and there has been a good demand for all descriptions' of goods. Prices have improved, and are now equal to those of this day week, standard lumps readily fetching 86s to 86; 6,d good and fine Titlers 87s to 89s Gd, mid to good brown lumps 83 a to 85s 6d, low ditto 81s 6d to 828 6d, and there is nothiug of patent goods now to be had under 553 6d per cwt ; the supply is very small, few of the refiners being at work. To-day Refined Goods sold freely for home use, at the rates quoted above. Pieces, Bastards, and Treacle at former rates. Bondedcrushed at 34s 6d to 343 9d per cwt.

TEA.—..The market for Free Trade Tea has been in a dull state all the week, sad the trifling business done has been exclusively for cash ; the merchants generally have refused to sell excepting at former rates, but in some cases a reduction of id to Id has been submitted to as compared with the prices of this day week, common Congou in small parcels selling at 2s 3id to 2s 4d, and Twankay 2s 4d to 2s 41-d per Ib, but iu the present inactive state oldie market it is difficult to quote prices accurately, buyers waiting to see if the Cordelia' from Hong Kong, arrived off Liverpool, has brought any private letters from China, by which an idea may be formed as to the season's supply. In Company's Congou hull business has been done, and prices have fallen to 2s 4i4 for cash, being a re duction since last Friday of lid per lb. The Alexander Baring has arrived with 8,900 packages of Tea.

To-day there .is scarcely any buiiness doing in Free Trade Tea ; the near approach of the sales, and the non arrival of accounts from China, cause the trade to buy with caution, but at the same time there is not much Tea pressing on the market. For Company s Congou very few buyers. This afternoon the market closed dull for all descrip tions of Tca. The nearest prices were 2i 3icl for *tom mon Free Trade Congou for cash, rwankay, 2s. 4d, and Company's. Congou 2s 4d to 2s 2:kd per lb.

We were quite prepared to expect that Lord Aber deen's Bill would not satisfy the dominant party in the Church. It is far too just and constitutional a measure to please the Non-Intrusionists. Accordingly, the very few Journals that advocate that cause, have lifted up the standard of opposition, and raised the war-cry of re sistance to the knife. The Caledonian Mem:7y ex claims " Away with Lord Aberdeen's Bib ! the people of Scotland will not be satisfied, and will not be gullfd by its plausible and moderate provisions." Another Edinburgh paper, a new recruit of the same party, de votes a brace of articles on Saturday, of three columns length, in downright. abuse of the measure ; sounding the horn of " active uncompromising hostility," and telling its readers that the Church of Scotland had far better swim a few years longer in her present sea of troubles, or even cut her cable of State connection, and betake herself to Voluntaryism on the hills, than accept of this " moderate" Bill. We had intended to give the opinions of some others of our contemporaries, but this we must defer till next paper. It will be found, however, that nearly the entire newspaper press in Scotland is in favour of the measure. The Glasgow Constitutional, which the non-iutrusionists reckoned one of their partisans, is delighted with the bill ; and we have little doubt that others will be found to give in their acquiescence to it, seeing in its adoption the only possible chance, not merely for restoriig tran quillity to the country, but for saving the Church of Scotland from committing an act of suicide. We _ • • have given extracts from - several of the Y London Journals, from which it will be seen that they treat the dispute as a political party question. The Globe is temperate ; but the Chronicle writes absurd nonsense, and has been completely answered in the ex cellent remarks of the Morning Post. The Times, which has frequently erred in this controversy, takes a sound view of the object and effect of Lord Aberdeen's Bill. The great and important question now is, will the majority of the Church accept of it ; and if not, ' what are they to do ? They cannot get the Lord Ad vocate's Bill, nor any other that embodies its principles. Government has rejected one and all of these. Will they still cling by the illegal Veto Act, and continue for another year to inflict upen the country the moral pes tilence of the Non-intrusion agitation ? This is an alter native which we fondly hope every rational man, every minister of the gospel of peace, every sincere well-wisher to the Church and people of Scotland, will pause before giving it his assent.—Edinburgh Advertiser. The high-flyers have resolved, if they can, to put a veto on Lord Aberdeen's Rill. The Non-intrusion Committee has emitted a series of resolutions condem natory of its entire principle and provisions, and the Non-intrusion Journals are open-mouthed against it. From this last assertion indeed we mutt except the Constitutional and Guardian of our own city. The former, with an inconsideration which we suspect it has since repented, became an abettor of the Non-intrusion nonsense, in the hope of thereby aiding the cause of Toryism ; but it is now in raptures with Lord Aber- I deen's Bill, and looks upon it, we have no doubt, as a most fortunate occasion for declaring oE from an un congenial connexion, A very able article, by a Corre spondent of the Witness, proves beyond all denial that the Bill of Lord Aberdeen makes no " concession" to the Church, but confirms the supremacy ate; control which the State at present exercises, and, as we think, ought to exercise over it. 'We abstain at present from adding any remarks on this subject, addition to those contained in our last publication.—Glasgow Chronicle. The Earl of Aberdeen brought forward a motion the other day for a compromise between the Intrusion and the Non-intrusion party, which, we confess, we cannot well separate from former attempted arrangements be tween the people and the Church authorities. It is another scheme to give the ecclesiastical authorities a power, which, in our humble judgment they ought not to possess. It is a plan to quench the spirit of the volun tary principle in Scotland, which they may as well endea vonr to extinguish as to plant the Eildop hills on the top of Arthur's seat. And look at the master in which Noble Lords view the measure themselve,s ; the Duke of Buccicuch says the people arc the peeper judges of their pastors, but they should not be al trod to decide without the authority of the CTlizirch ! new, truly this I allows v as t freedom of decision! It is precisely like the celebrated artist who said to Richardson the novellist : " 1 wish to have the most impartial idea of my pic tures that me n can give me, but if any one says tth a t this is not the best picture that . ever was pai n t e d , j will knock him down! ihfr. Rwhardsott, what is ,our opinion. • 9 " The people arc to he the jetdges, but th e Church is to judge the judgment of the people T. Who talks of Catholicism after this ? Compared to this the , Church of Rome is mildness and condestension, me e k. ness and kindness of spirit. The Earl of Galloway hoped their Lordships would never sanction the Church in giving the people "an arbitrary lrt.;- trary right I The power of judging who. is or who not fit to be their Minister I If it be a right, bow can it be arbitrary? if it be a right, it most be both inherent and just, which qualities are altogether incompatible with powers conferred, or with privileges unjustly and wrong ' fully possessed. The Government are much blamed by some parties in the debate for not having introduced such a measure as this of the Earl of Aberdeen, but Lord Melbourne said "a Ile considered that after a time it would be demonstrated that the Government on tbis question had displayed a proper degree of prudence." We are pretty much of the same feeling with the Noble Lord.—Tyne Afercurv. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

(Before Mr. Sergeant AIABIN. ) George Alcock, 41, was indicted foi feloniously forging and uttering a banker's draft for 2001., with intent to de fraud Messrs. Wright, the bankers, and others. Mr. Bodkin, with Mr. Jerningham, conducted the pro secution, and Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner. Joseph Hay, a clerk to Messrs. Wright, proved that in March, 1837, the Rev. Mr. Pope had an account at their house, and in that year he paid a check for 2001. purport ing to be drawn by that gentleman. Cross-examined—He had paid similar checks drawn by a person named Alcock. The handwriting was similar to that of Mr. Pope. Mr. Crosby, a solicitor, proved that the prisoner was in troduced to him by a person name Latchford, and ko learned from him that the prisoner 'was engaged in a Chancery suit for the recovery of a large sum of money, to which it was alleged he was entitled, and among the pro ceedings that subsequently took place he received about 1001. from the prisoner. An interview afterwards took place, when Mr. Pope was present, and it was stated that Mr. Pope had advanced 4951 to the prisoner to assist him in carrying out his claim. After the forgery of the check was discovered it was ascertained that the prisoner bad gone to Paris, whither witness followed him, and after wards gave him into custody. The Rev. Robert Alexis Pope deposed that he was a Roman Catholic clergyman, and resided at Mount Carmel House, Redditsh, Worcestershire ; was acquainted with the prisoner, and had corresponded with him, and on se veral occasions advanced him money. This money was advanced by means of cheques which We sent to the pri soner filled up in every respect except that they omitted the banker's name. The COCCI= produced for 2001. was not in hie handwriting. Cross-examined—Witness advanced money. to the pri soner to enable him to employ an attcrnoy in carrying on a Chancery suit. 'Witness was to have received a sum of money if the prisoner succceded in his suit. tie was to have received ten thousand pounds. Did not believe that the sum sought to be recovered amounted to four hundred thousand pounds. He believe d the property amounted to about ono hundred thousand r minds. Re-examined—The 10,000/. was not to be applied to my own personal benefit, but was to be spent in the crea tion of a church, and for other ecclesiastical purposes. Two witnesses gave the prisoner a good character. Mr. Justice PATTESON summed up, and the Jury, re turned a verdict of Guilty, but at tho same time recom mended the prisoner to mercy.. The COURT sentenced the prisoner to be transported for 15 years. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN sat in. the morning, but the cases disposed of were of no public interest. NEW CO UR T. A LUCKY MISNOMER. Hannah Jennings, a good looking girl. twenty years of age, was indicted for steal ing three shirts, three frocks, four pinafores, and other articles, the property of Rig :bard Ramsbottoin. The facts connected with. this case were clearly proved, and the prisoner was found Guilty. She was then charged with having been previously con victed, and the fact being proved by the evidence of a policeman, the Jury again pronounced her Guilty, and the Court sentenced her to seven years' transportation. Directly after the sentence vas passed an informality was discovered in the indictment, which set forth, that " before the said felony was committed, to wit, on the 3d of February, in the third year of her present Majesty's reign, the prisoner was convicted of felony." The COMMON SERJEANT said that the verdict must be amended as to the second charge, as both of them were laid in the third year of the rcign, and it vi as impossible to record that the third of February was before the 28th of January. The Learned Judge, having directed the Jury to acquit the prisoner, said the qupstion now was whether they could alter the sentence. After consulting with Sir John Cowan, his Lordship told the prisoner that she was very fortunate ; and he hoped she would well consider it. in stead of transportation for seven years, her sentence was imprisonment in the House of Correction for nine months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUS.g. A strong wild-looking Irishman named Patric/ Doug was brought before the Lord Mayor charged with having endangered the life of a respectable person by pushing him off the pavement of the Poultry. The complainant stated that as he walked along the stre' t the defendant, who seemed to think the pavement was made for himself, put his hand up and flung hint into the middle of the street just as a horse was turning a cart round a corner. Providentially time wheels did tuA l paa over complainant, but the escape was very narrow. A policeman who saw the occurrence, thought at first that the -assailant must have been drunk, but afterwards found that he was not in liquor, but was either mad or wild. The Loan MAIOR—Who aro you, my good fellow ? Defendant—Faith I hardly know myself. I'm anything that I Gun get bread by. The Loan MAYOR—You seem to be strong enough to get it. by honest labour.

So, as I %yes going along by myself quite innocent, the gentleman come right up against me, anti so I just put up my hand, and I hardly touched him, when he tumbled out into the street. Sure I never thought of hurting him a morsel. The complainant said that he believed the poor man was out of his mind, and hoped than the Lord Mayor would not punish him. _ _ The LORD MAYOR (to the defendant):—He w long aro you from Ireland ? Defendant—Oh, by my sowl, that's the place I come from, sure ernough. Well, there's no keeping a secret here, but Tim Donovan tould me I'd be soon found out.—(A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR —Are you in work , now ? Defen dant—No, Sir ; b ut (nulling- up the waistband of kia breeches), by my sowl, I've tint power in my elbows. The LORD MAYOR--.Alld where do you live?

The policeman said that t se defendant walked along the streets wish his arms so Tr uch a-kimbo that people more obliged to move out of a ray. Defendant—Sure I only i.vn.nti:'d room to go through the strccte, quiet, and they w ottldn't let me. I wottld'Ht do harm any more than a baby„ if they'd let me alone. The LORD-MAYOR—Arc you a married man ? Defendant—Os faith its myself that has a wife and four children in Cork. The Loup-Mayon—And what are they doing there ? Defendant—Faith and that I don't know; but, by my saga I know' they're doing wit'iout me.._( Laugh.) The LORD MAYOR—W4II, you must be cautious 'how you act.
