IMPERIAL PARLIAM T HOUSE OF COMMONS, FEB. 12. - The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four Mr. CORBALLY, the new member for Meath, returned in the room of Mr. Morgan O'Connell, took the oaths and his scat. A great number of private Bills were read a first time, or advanced a stage. CORN-LA WS. Mr. OSWALD presented a petition from the Cor poration of Glasizow, for the repeal of the Corn-laws. CHURCH EXTENSION. Mr. PAKINGTON presented petitions from places in Derbyshire, is favour of Church e xtension, and against the continuance of the Parliamentary Grants for the suppo:t of the College of Maynooth. Sir E. WILMOT presented a petition from a place !ri Warwick in favour of Church Extension. Sir E. KNATCHBULL presented a petition from Ashford to the same effect. CHURCH PATRONAGE. Mr. ELLIOTT presented petitions from places in Scotland against the intrusion of ministers into parishes without the aoproly&on of the parishioners. THE SHERIFFS OF MIDDLESEX. Mr. D'lSRAELl'presented a petition from a place in Middlesex, complaining of the imprisonment of the Sheriffs, and pr.iying for their liberation. THE CASE OF THOROGOOD. Sir GEORGE STRICKLAND presented a peti tion from a place in Yorkshire, praying for the release of John Thorogood, and against the jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical Courts. 'Nil.. BANNERMAN presented a petition from Aberdeen, against the present system of Church patronage. Sir T. FREEMANTLE presented a petition from Edinburgh. praying for Church extension. • Sir J. GRAHAM presented a petition from the Moderator and Presbytery of Glasgow, against the in trusion of non-acceptable ministers into parishes in Scot land ; also a petition from a parish in the county of Pem-, broke, complaining of the want of religious instruction, and praying for increased Church accommodation. Also a petition from a lr•rg' number of Cotton-spinners and weavers in Cornwall, praying- for an alteration in the Corn-laws, and for the repeal of the duty on raw cotton. Mr. WARD presented a petition from a parish in Essex, praying for the release of John Thorogood, and the abolition of Church-rates. Also a petition from Sheffield, complaining of the n - tsrepresentations of Socialism, and praying that Robert Owen might be examined before a Committee of the House. LITHOGRAPHED PETITIONS. The SPEAKER wished to call the attention of the House to the fact that a petition which had been pre senteLJ was lithographed. Now it was against the orders of the House that any printed petitions should be pre sented, and he wished to draw the attention of the House to this circumstance, as he understood that of late several litho;,Trailhed petitions had been presented. Mr. FRES HFIELD said, the Committee on Peti tions would be glad to receive some authority from the House as to the manner in which they were to deal with these petitions. They were frequently referred to the Committee, and they could not make any ob jections to them there, unless the House would be pleased to give some directions on the subject. He would suggest that the House should direct the Com mittee not to report on lithographed petitions. The SPEAKER thought it would be better that it should be henceforth distinctly understood that the House would consider lithographed petitions to be printed petitions.—( Hear, hear.) INTRUSION OF MINISTERS (SCOTLAND.) Mr. GORDON presented several petitions from va rious places in Aberdeenshire, against the intrusion of Ministers in Scotland. The petitioners also stated that they objected to the summary rejection by the Presby tery of Ministers presented by the Patron without trial, and prayed for an alteration in the laws regulating Church patronage. CORN-LAWS. Mr. VILLIERS presented a petition from Dun fermline, praying for a total repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. LITTON presented a petition from millers of Ireland, against the Importation of Corn from Ireland Bill. THE SHERIFF. Sir E. SUGDEN gave notice that he would to-day or to-morrow put a question to Lord J. Russell as to the further detention of Mr. Sheriff Evans, and should not that gentleman be released before, he should move on Friday that the Resolution acquiring the repayment of the 6001. to Messrs. Hansard should be rescinded. TITHE COMMUTATION ACT AMEND- IMENT BILL. Sir R. INGLIS asked if this Bill were to be passed to a second reading this evening, as it had not long been printed, and there had been no opportunity of spreading it through the country? Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL said that it was his intention to press the Bill to a second reading that night. PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS. Mr. HODSON wished to know whether the Post office bad made any regulation with respect to the free transmission of any pa:t of the Parliamentary Papers, and if so, what part of them. Mr. R. STEUA RT said that the arrangement had been already stated by his Right Hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The SPEAKER said that the Bills and Votes would go free, provided they were put into the box connected with the House. VAGRANTS REMOVAL BILL. On the motion of Mr. ROBERT PALMER the Vagrants Removal Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday next. TITHE COMMUTATION ACTS AMEND- MENT BILL. Sir E. KNATCHBULL moved the second read ing of the Tithe Commutation Acts Amendment Bill. In this Bill there were two or three claims which might be modified in the Committee. He meant especially those relating to hops and market grounds. He wished to do every thing to forward the intentions which the Legislature had in passing the Tithes Cemmutatioh Act. And one of his principal objects in the present measure was to prevent Cale from being taken in kind, when the rent charge was fixed, that was to say, between the apportionment and the commutation. Mr. DIVETT was decidedly opposed to the Bill. It would be impossible to dovetail an Act of 74 dis tinct clauses into the six different Acts which had been passed upon this subject, without producing the greatest doubt and confusion. The first Tithe Act was the 6th William IV., and then there was the Act of the Ist Victoria, which had been followed by three or four others on the same sulject. The Ho nourable Baronet said that his object was to prevent the taking of tithe in kind between the apportionment and the commutation. Now that might be a very good object, but it would not be attained under the proposed Bill, without great ex pense and inconvenience, and it would materially stand i Lthe way of the justice of the appportionment. He found that the expenses of the present Tithe Com mission amounted to 60,000/. a year, and he believed that the present measure would tend considerably to in crease that. The Right Hon. Baronet, in introducing his Bill, had talked of the inconveniences of the present system, and of the great difficulty of collecting tithes. He (Mr. Divett) believed, however, that those diffi culties existed only in a very few instances, and that there was a general dispoFition in the country to enter into voluntary agreements on subjects of the kind. The Tithe Cninmissioners said they had reason to ex press their satisfaction at the working of the Bill, and there was therefore no reason to come to the House for its alteration when appeals were of rare occurrence, and acquiescence was the general rule. If that was the opinion of the Tithe Commissioners why allow a Bill of this sort to pass, which would materially alter the Act, and make that which was already extremely difficult to understand, a great deal more difficult. He contended it was not- sufficient for any Member to say the Tithe Commissioners concurred in the Bill. If this were the case the Bill cught to be introduced under their auspices, and they should have taken upon themselves the responsibility o f any changes they thought might be required. One clause only in their report could justify this supposition, though in another place they said " the hardship of collecting tithe in kind had been s t rong l y pressed upon them." He had no doubt of it ; b u t t h e t i me of the House should not be taken up in legislating on individual. cases of grievance He con t en d e d that the intention of the framers of the Bill h a d b een f u ll y carried out, and that interfering. And there was no occasio n f or t h e House again And having stated what wer e hi s o bj ect i ons to and knowing that vast alterati ons must b e made Bill, Committee, he thought it had bette r b e stopped in the second reading, than allowed to go into Committee, where it would probably pass in a state that would be prejudicial to the interests it affected. He therefore moved, that the Bill be read that day six months. Mr. FOX MAULE could assure his Hon. Friend that this Bill bad been introduced with the full concur rence of the Tithe Commissioners.—(Hear, hear.) When this measure was first proposed to the House, he had referred to the Tithe Commissioners on the subject, and he bad this day gone through the Bill with one of those gentlemen, who had told him, speaking not only for himself, but his colleagues—when he said that the lull had their entire concurrence as calculated to relieve them from a great portion of their labours, and to make the operation of the Act much less expensive. Hear, hear.) The object of this was to effect a commutation of tithes i n t o a rent-c h arge, as speedily as possible. It was quite true that in most cases this had been done on the voluntary principle, but still there were many cases in which the old custom of taking tithes in kind still remained ; and unless some measure were taken to remedy this inconve nience the power conferred by this custom might be exercise most vexatiously. It was quite true that the clause had been introduced by the Right Hon. Gentle man opposite, and he did not think that this measure could have come more effectually before the House if the Tithe Com m i ss i oners b rought it forward on their own auth or i ty . O n the contrary, the Tithe Commissioners had said that they would take advantage of this Bill to introduce certain ne cessary amendments. His Honourable Friend had eemplained of the great number of amended Bills on this subject ; it would be a matter of surprise if such had not been the case, because it would he a wo-der if in a great measure, suckas that of the Tithe Commutation they should have beta enabled to have introduced a per fect Bill at once. .:;::Reserving therefore to himself the right of entering ftio a full explanvion of this Bill clause by clause iiieCornmittee, he should vet: for its second reading. Mr. GOUL BURN doubted if this Bill would effect what the Honourable Gentleman expected. It ap peared to him that the clauses in question would affect merely a small number of cases. By the proposed arrangement that when a parish made an agreement sub stituting a rent charge for tithes, that any landholder might render himself security for the payment of the charge on the whole parish. If the landlord were the proprietor of the whole parish it might be worth his while to do so, but if he were not, it was improbable that he would take the charge of reco vering the amount from the other landholders. The delay now existing in carrying forward the operation of the Act arose between the agreement and the ap portionment, and the apportionment was delayed from petty squabbles among the landholder as to little ex penses, and the only way in which these squabbles could be terminated was by the pressure upon the parties of the inconveniences of the present system.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") He much feared little good would result from giving facilities for further delay. There were other clauses of great importance which be had not had time fully to consider—one giving power to the Commissioners to fix boundaries. On the whole, if the amendment were pressed, he feared he must vote for it ; but he would rather not vote against the Bill till sonic future stage. Sir R. INGLIS deprecated proceeding with the se cond reading of the Bill, considering that it had only been printed six days. He was of opinion that time ought to be allowed for considering the Bill, but as that was refused, he should vote, if called upon, with the Hon. Member for Exeter, that the Bill should be read a second lime that day six months. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN objected to the powers that had been added to the Bill by the Tithe Corn sioners. What he would therefore propose was, that the Bill should be referred to a Committee up st where the whole subject could be considered with more deliberation than in that House. If that were agreed to, probably the Hon. Member for Exeter would with draw his motion.—(" No. no," from Mr. Divett.) Sir E. KNATCHBULL was quite ready to accede to the proposition of a Select Committee. He hoped the Hon. Member for Exeter would allow the Bill to be read a second time, in order that it might be sent to a Committee! up stairs. Mr. DIVETT intimated that he would persevere with his amendment. Tne House accordingly divided, and the numbers were— For the second reading 77 Against it Majority The 13 . d1 was then read a second time. SPIRIT LICENSES (SCOTLAND) BILL. Mr. GILLON moved the second reading of this Bill. The object of it was to take out of the hands of Magistrates the p owe r o f granting licen ses , an d t o trans fer tat power to the Excise. Mr. PRINGLE opposed the second reading of the Bill. It would do away with certificates of character, which were now required once a year ; and no one he thought should wish to do away with that necessity. Mr. ROBE KT STELLA RT thought that certain alterations should take place in the Bill, and he did not wish to deprive Magistrates altogether of the salutary power which they at present possessed, of withdrawing licenses under certain circumstances ; but the only change it would effect was, that a person to whose character there was no objection, would be saved the trouble of travelling thirty, or, in some in stances, forty miles, to take out a renewal of his license. If a man had forgotten to take out his license, as frequently happened, the Excise had no power to grant it upon his petition, for the law only fixed two days in the year for the purpose, and if be did not at tend on those days, he was deprived of it for six months following, which was a great temptation for a poor man, who had invested Isis capital in this way, to sell without a license, if he had lost it under these circumstances. Sir GEORGE CLERK said, his objection to the Bill was, that it would make a difference in the law of England and Scotland. The great difference between England and Scotland in the sale of spirits was, that in Scotland many grocers sold spirits ; and he should wish to see the trade in Scotland assimilated to the trade in Ireland. He hoped the Hon. Member for Falkirk would give up this mea sure to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and then an alteration might be made in the law on this subject, and also on the subject of the recovery of debts due to the sellers of spirits for liquors sold in small quantities. He hoped the Hon. Member would withdraw this Bill, and leave the whole matter in the hands of the Treasury. He should certainly vote against the Bill in its present shape. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought that the Right Hon. Gentleman who had spoken last had left the subject of the Bill now before the House totally out of his consideration. He thought the most strenuous advocate for the control of the Magistracy over spirit sellers would admit that the law in Scotland in this respect stood in need of amendment. The law, as it now stood, did produce some inconve niences. But to the Bill, as it now was framed, he objected. And he should vote for the second reading only on this ground, that the Magistrates should retain virtually their present control over the licensing, and that the Bill should only provide against the great in juries often resulting from accidental omission of attend ance.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. HERRIES said, considering that every one even of the supporters of the Bill could not agree to it as it now stood, he thought it should be withdrawn and altered.—(Hear, hear.) He should vote against the second reading of the Bill. General SHARPE was also opposed to the Bid. Mr. GILLON would leave the Bill in the custody of the House, and as it had been taken up by the Go vernment he should be most happy to entrust it to the Member for Edinburgh. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and tho House divided, when _there appeared— For the Bill Against it Majority FINANCE. The House having resolved itself into a Committee on the Transfer of Aids Bill : Mr. HE R RIES asked if only the million granted last year was to be now issued ? And he also wished to correct an error in a former statement of the Chancellor of the Exch&quer—that Lord Monteagle had reduced the Unfunded Debt from 29,000,0001 to 20,000,0001: whereas it was only to 21,000,000—its reduction being thus, 8,000,000/, instead of 9,000,0001. The CIIANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER-- replied that only the one million was to be issued. As to the other point we understood him to agree with the Right Hon. Gentleman. Mr. HERRIES—Then no part of the additional four millions last year will be used? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER— No. Mr. HERRIES—Then the 4,000,0001. was a superfluous, unnecessary vote. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not agree to that at all. Mr. HE RRIES thought confusion must necessarily be produced in the public accounts. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER— That could easily be set right—a mere matter of form. Mr. GOULBURN said the objection was not one of form, but of substance. The effect of the addi tional four millions having been in the Appropriation Act of last Sesiion, was that Government had at least the power of issuing so many more bills than the Par liament had contemplated.—(Hear.) The House then resumed. RAILWAYS. Sir H. FLEETWOOD moved, " That an humble Address b e presented to her Majesty, praying that her Majesty wit! b e engineer or en g i netrs who pleated to direct that the have been appointed, in pur suance of the Address of this House of the 14th day THE SUN. LONDON THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 13, 1840. of August last, do, in addition to the report thereby required to be made, report on the merits of the railway from Preston to Fleetwood, and the harbour of Fleet wood, es regards the means that will be thereby afford ed for facilitating the communication by sea between London and the North of Ireland, ned the West of Scotland, reference being had to existing railways." The Hon. Member said his object was to have it under stood that the Commissioners on Railway Communica tion wi:h the metropolis of Scotland and that of Ireland, should consider all the ports in the neighbourhood. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER wished to have had the opinion of the House on the sub ject, but really, in the present state of the House (about twenty or thirty present) that opinion could not well ha ascertained.—(A laugh.) He scarcely knew vvh, t course to take upon the proposition ? The effect of it seemed to be to introduce a new principle—to depart from the object of the Commission. which w.rs to ascer tain the merits of the existing or projected Railways, and and to open up a do3r for the admission of every future, every now unprojeeted Railway, into the inquiry. He truAed the Hon. Gentleman would not. in the present state of the House, press his motion.—(Hear.) Mr. F. SHAW concurred in this recommendation. He wisheA to know what chance there was of receiving the results of the Commission with regard to Dublin. Their labours had been vastly augmented by giving them already a much larger field of inquiry thin at first contemplated. After a few words from Mr. R. GORDON, Sro H. FLEETWOOD said he should withdraw his motion, on the understanding that if the Commission went down before the matter was settled, it should not be p-c-judiced. The House then adjourned at Five minutes after Seven. spiRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. ( From the Globe.) Hazlitt has a remark, exemplifying human inconsist, ency, to the effect that there are persons ssho are disap pointed and displeased by the exhibition of the very virtues which they hod most desired to see exercised. These people (he aa:rs) do not like you a bit the hater for rea!izing the good opinion they always enter tained of you." The conduct of some writers on the Liberal side, daily as well as weekly, would seem to indicate that the remark is founded, not on fan tastic speculation, but on a close observance of mankind. The parties in question appear to think perpetual agree ment upon one subject tedious, and after months of con currence seek excitement in dissension and complaint. They invert the maxim of Mrs. Malaprop, and ima gine that it is always better to end "with a little aversion." They are so jealous of leadership, that they must pick an occasion of quarrelling with it--" net in hate, but all in honour !" Thus, because Lord J. Russell has intimated an opinion that the fl?use could not go on for ever resorting to commitments as the only means of asserting and maintaining its pri vileges—because he stated that he had held a conference with th Lord Chancellor, and suggested that a declara tory law of a complete and comprehensive character might, if obtainable from the Hiuse of Lords, prevent future difficulties without a sacrifice of independence or principle—the Noble Lord is assailed in set terms, and charged with " running away " and " irresolution "—with misleading his own friends and not knowing his own mind (From the Standard ) The eternal case of the '' martyr Thorogood," the coolest and most business-like sufferer for conscience sake to be foetid in the whole Martyrology, occupied the House of Commons last night during a considerable part of its sitting. The wretched farce of this man's mock self-devotion had been long before expressed in his corresponds nee with Mr. Buykett. But Mr. Thomas Dun combs did not think it rash to bring the delusion once more under the scorn of all rational and honest men, and Messrs. Baines, and flume, and Hawes, and the rest of the Sectarian knot, made the customary speeches. Lord J. Russell treated the martyr with little respect, and Sir S. Lushington gave a frank and a very amusing history of the several steps of vexatious pettifoggin g by which Thorog o od h as ma d e hi s way to the goa l o f his wishes, the jail of Chelmsford. If we had any malignant feeling towards Dissen ters, such feeling would be amply gratified by last night's exhibition, indeed by the whole history of the " Thoro good persecution ;" for never was there a case of more transparent hypocrisy and fraud, or one better calculated to draw disgrace upon all who arc concerned in getting it up and patronizing it. ( From the Courier.) The discussion in the House of Commons last night, on the affair which is generally known as the " Monteagle Job," exhibited the Ministers in their usual position of shuffling and weakness. Mr. Liddell moved for the papers relating to this transaction, and took occasion to say that the matter, as it at present stood unexplained, had very much the air of a Ministerial job. The circumstance of the simul taneous retirement of Sir John Newport from the office of Comptroller of the Exchequer, with a pension of one thousand a year, and the appointment of Lord Mrtntea;.,•le to the office so vacated, could not fail to give rise to the suspicion that the arrangement was a contrivance for placing the late Chancellor of the Exchequsr in a sinecure, or an office which was nearly a sinecure, of 2,0001. a year. To this charge the present Chancellor of the Exchequer attempted an explanation, which, without presuming to say whether it was satisfac tory or not to the House, we are quite sure will not be considered satisfactory by the country. No TAXES'—The Northern Liberator (the late conductor of which is now non inventus), last Saturday. advised resistance to taxes :—" Whatever be the tax which the forlorn Minister shall propose, oppose it to the very uttermost. If it be resisted by the upper classes (as they style themselves) make their selfishness an instrument of your designs; join them, tooth and nail, and oppose it to the very uttermost. If it be a tax upon any of the necessaries of life, depend upon it the whole trading-class, up to the rich merchants and the Jew capitalists, and the whole agricultural class, up to the twenty thousand acre landlords, will roar against it ; roar with them ; swell the outcry ; and oppose it to the uttermost !" MURDER.—We regret to state that murder has been done in this city. Yesterday forenoon, a man named Templeton, a journeyman bookbinder, residing in East College street, was brought to the Police-office, on the charge of having severely assaulted his wife, and at the same time the un fortunate woman was carried to the Infirmary. She remained in a state of insensibility, and died last night about six o'clock. The pair, we believe, were persons of very dissipated habits, and lived a miserable life in a wretched hovel in the street we have named. During the night between Saturday and Sunday the neighbours heard the sound of discord proceeding from Tern pleton's house, accompanied, as they conceived, by blows, but this was unfortunately too common to excite much surprise, and nothing was known of the tragedy which had taken place till yesterday forenoon, when the neighbours observing the pe rilous situation of the woman brought medical aid, and gave in formation to the police. The head of the unfortunate woman was severely injured, as if it had been dashed against the wall or the floor, and as no sharp Instrument has been used, little doubt can exist that death has proceeded from the cause to which we have alluded. The pair have one child, aged two years, and Templeton appears to be a man of 45 years of age.— Glasgow Herald. MELANCHOLY Loss OF LIFE, AND DRIFT RECK.—A fishing-boat belonging to Innishowen, with eight men, being unable to gain the s h ore , was, on the night of the 30th ult , drifted from Mallinhead, and on the following morn ing put into a small creek, near the Rhinos of Islay Lighthouse, in a very deplorable state, six of the crew having died in the course of the night from cold and the continual breach of the sea. The boat was only '2O feet in length of keel, and it is quite miraculous how she reached the opposite shore from Ire land. The six bodies were decently interred on the following day. We hear accounts of drift -wreck along the whole west coast of Argyleshire ; at the Islands of lona and Islay, masts and spars of large dimensions have been found ; off Kintyre Lighthouse many logs of timber were seen, and elsewhere nu merous pieces of wreck—too plainly showing the effects of the late storms from the westward.—Edinburgh Courant. DESTRUCTION OF THE TREES IN ST. JAMES'S Psis.—On Monday the trees were loaded with an xious curiosity-hunters who did not mind perilling their limbs to procure a glance at the bridal procession. However, only ane accident of a serious nature occurred; a boy fell from the branch of an elm in the Green Park, and broke his leg. He was immediately conveyed to the hospital, where the broken limb was set, and he is now doing well. On Tuesday morning, 1 - .lr. nine, one of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, accompanied by two other gentlemen connected with that department, personally inspected the park, in order to see if any damage had been done by the immense multitude who had thronged it the day before. The mischief done far exceeded their expectations, it being esti mated at nearly a hundred pounds. A great number of branches have been broken from the full grown trees, but the mischief done is principally to the young ones recently planted. A great number of young elms and limes planted last winter have been absolutely torn up by the roots, others have been so broken that it will be found necessary to remove them and sub stitute others. The fences and hurdles placed to protect the plantations in the inclosurehave likewise been greatly damaged. Workmen were busily engaged the whole of Tuesday in re pairing the mischief. We understand that a petition frotn the inhabitan's of the parish of St. Luke, Chelsea, to the House of Commons, for the discharge of the Sheriffs of Middlesex, is in course of signature, and is already most respectably and numerously s fined. - COURT OF ALDERMEN.—Yesterday a Court was held for the purpose of taking into consideration the pro priety of voting addresses of congratulation to the Queen, Prince Albert, and the Duchess of Kent, upon the event of the matrimonial alliance of the Queen to Prince Albert. Accord ing to the ancient practice of this Court the subject was deli berated upon with closed doors, but 'se understood that the ad dresses were carried unanimously, and amidst loud acclamations. The Court was occupied with closed doors upwards of an hour in deliberation on the subject of the Aldersgate Ward Election, and ultimately decided that another election should take place. EDIToRIAL LIABILITIES.--TIIC Presse, In no:ic:ng the prospectus of a new Journal, called La Demo critic, having used some expressions which were considered offensive, M. Thure, who is the chief Editor of, the Paper, called on M. de Girardin, to demand satisfaction in the name of the Republicans, who, he said, had been insulted in the article of the Presse.—" M. de Girardin, having consulted with his friends on the subje c t," sa y s th e Presse, " they have decided that there was nothing in the article which exceeded the fair limits of free discussion, and therefore, that there is no around for accepting the duel proposed by M. There." PURE WATER FOR THE METRO POLIS. I IThe Marquis of WESTMINSTER gave notice on Friday in the House of Lords of his intention to move loran Enquiry into the Sunaly of Water for the Metropolis ; and the same day a meeting was held at the British Coffee-house, CockFpur-street, called by titular, addressed to the No blemen, 'Womb rs of Parliament, and others, who had sig nitiA their approbation of a plan for the same object,7and avhinh it was the intention of this meeting to consider:and discuss. The Hon. Colonel L. STANHOPE being called to the chair, briefly addressed tho Gentlemen present on the ne cessity which wns daily increasing of providing better and cheaper water for the inhabitants of London and Wes:- miectei, and called upon the Engineers present to state t`..e particulars of the plan by which they proposed to effect this great object. Mr GILES explained the plrn then on the table. He ssid it was intended to obtain pure water from the valley of the Colne, near Watford, where there are very copious geritees within the depth of eighteen feet from the sur f .ce of the land. In addition to this, it would be ad visable to sick artesian Ilene there, and the combined sul.plies would no doubt furnish ae - abundant quail tity.—( Hear, hear.) But should any scarcity occur in the extremity of a dry season, the river Colne, the water of which at such times is very clear, might be resorted to. —( Hear.) The gages of the water were taken by Mr. Telford in 1833, and those experiments demonstrated that enough could be taken to supply all London at the rate of 10 gallons a day for each inhabitant.—(Hear, hear.) The mangier of conducting these waters to London would he by a covered conduit in length only 121 miles from the C Inc valley to St, John's Wood, where its level would be about 160 feet above Trinity high water mark, thereby af fording the means of supplying London both with high and low service entirely by its own gravity.—( Hear, bear.) The estimated cost of the undertaking, which Mr. Giles detailed, was 500,000 i. Mr. PATEN said, that this plan was precisely the same as his original plan of raising water by artesian wells, with this difference, that it got rid of the prejudice that artas;an wells on a large scale in London would dry up all other wells. In Barclay'a brewery he had demonstrated the reverse, but here artesian wells would be made at such a distance from the metropolis that no such fears could hereafter be entertained, and besides as those wells would pr duce exactly the same water, quite as cheap, seeing tl.at the springs were 165 feet above high water mark, and would descend by their own gravity, they would supersede the necessity of steam power, which could not be the case in London.--( Hear, hear, hear.) The experiment he had made on the spot proved that at a di,,tance of two and a half miles in length by one mile in breadth in this valley, at only seven feet from the surface, there lay imbeddA in a small quantity of fine gravel, en immense body of water, eight feet deep, and which as soon as touched rose to within eighteen inches of the surface. To prove that this water proceeded from the lower or main springs, he shut it out by an iron pipe, and then tapped the springs at the depth of 120 feet from the surface, wl.ieh rose exactly the same height as the olacr. —( Hear, hear, hear.) So abundant was the sup ply that though the pipe was only five inches and a half in diameter, he pumped up between 8,000 and 9,000 gallons per hour, and he continued to do so without any diminu tion of the water.—( Hear, hear.) It was clear that Lon don could be most abundantly supplied from this spot alone, as any engineer acquainted with the data ho had furnished could prove.—( Hear.) Mr. Telford's sur vu had been taken during the extraordinary drought of 1833, and yet the springs were then proved to he sufficient ia various parts round London to supply the inhabitants twenty times over.—( Hear, hear.) The plans were examined, many questions were asked and satisfactorily answered, and with reference to the effect of artesian wells, the following paragraph was read from an able article in the last number of the Monthly Chronicle. Ia the neighbourhood of London these artesian wells are already very numerous. There are at Hammersmith (s, Brent ford 3, Uxbridge 8, Rickmansworth 4, Watford 9, one producing 22,500,000 gallons weekly, partly supplying the river Colne ; St Albans 2. In London itself there are 174, of which 30 produce 30,000,000 gal lens weekly; indeed it is clearly ascertained that the quan tity of water which any one of those wells will yield, depends on and is proportioned to the diameter of the bore. It has been calculated that the quantity of water supplied to the Metropolis by all the Water Companies en both sides of the river, may be estimated at 38,000,000 gallons daily, and one orifice from a single artesian well, with a diameter of six feet, would yield more than sufficient to meet this demand. Colonel STA NHOPE said, that the important town of Li verpool, containing more than one hundred thousand inha bitants, was supplied by two artesian wells alone. The Parliamentary Agent for the plan read extracts from the Reports and Evidence of the House of Com mons, in the years 1828 and 1834, in which were proved the gross impurity and deleterious operation of the Thames water—she insufficiency of filtration to get rid of those im purities—the vast expense of such filtration—and strongly animadverted on the monopoly of the present water con - panics, by agreement with each other, and the consequent enormous increase of the rate paid by the public, and the shares held and enjoyed by themselves. Surgeon ELMORR stated that the impurities of the river Thames were notoriously incapable of being removed by any filtration. He and e ver y mem b er o f his profession were aware that glandular affections, dyspepsia, bowel complaints, and other diseases are mainly produced, and in all cases aggravated by the use of the present London water.—( Hear, hear.) He further dwelt on what he con sidered the gratifying fact that the excessive use of ardent spirits, wines, malt liquors, &c. was now sensibly on the decrease, and that I supply of pure water was essential, so far as health is concerned, to the success of the system in. troduced by temperance societies.—(Hear.) All the medical gentlemen present assented to the opinion of Mr. Elmore as to the diseases produced by the existing water. Dr. - STONE, in addition to what had been stated, ob served that while filtration did not get rid of the most de leterious substances held in chemical solution, those very substances were exactly those which ought to be got rid of, seeing that they were the most prejudicial to the animal economy, which was proved by the sudden death of eels and other fish brought from a distance, that sickened and died when subjected for a single hour to the action of Thames water.—( Hear, hear.) Not only was this the fact in 182 S, but since that period, from the vast increase of the inhabitants, the common sewers, and the manufac tories on the banks of the Thames, a much larger impreg nation of water with poisonous matter must necessarily have taken place ; so that the Thames water is constantly undergoing a progressive deterioration.—( Hear, hear.) He would from his own experience boldly assert, and he knew that all the profession would concur with him, that no greater blessing could he conferred upon the inhabi tants of London than to provide for them pure water.-.. (Cheers.) He concluded an eloquent speech by moving a resolution to the effect that the following noblemen and gentlemen, having signified their support of the object, and their approbation of the plan, be requested to consti tute a Committee to carry it into effect, with power to add to their numbers : The Marquis of Westminster The Earl of Dundonald Sir Francis Burdett, M P.

Tne thanks of the meeting were then moved, and car ried by acclamation, to the Chairman, and the proceedings terminated with an understanding that the Committee should be speedily called together. lIEROISM.—An inquest was held on Tuesday evening at St. Bartholomew's Hospital on the body of Henry Dallaway, aged 53, who lost his life by trying to save that of a female. James Houghton said that about nine o'clock on Thursday evening last he was passing along the City-road, nearly opposite to the E:.•.gle Tavern, when he saw a horse and cart driven along the right side of the road, in the direction of the City. Asthe horse got opposite to the spot where the wit ness was walking, it sud.lenly shied, and darted on to the foot pavement. Witness stepped aside, but deceased, who was walking behind a female, and seeing the danger she was in, stepped forward and pulled her back, but More he could get her out of the way, the shaft of the cart hit her on the forehead, knocked her down, and likewise knocked deceased down. The wilael got clear of the woman, but passed along the thighs and right side of the deceased, fracturing the former as well as several of the ribs. - THIEVES AND RECEIVERS —Field-lane, Hol born, being the emporium of stolen silk packet-handkerchiefs, &e., received from the London thieves, Waite, of the G divi sion, on Monday night, during the illuminations, determined on keeping a sharp look out after the pickpockets on their road to that den of receivers. At about twelve o'clock he saw two notorious fellows enter the lane, on which he proceeded towards them, and inquired what they had about them. They replied " Nothing ;" but, on being taken to the station-house and searched, their pockets, hats, and inside their trowsers were crammed with silk pocket handkerchiefs. They were taken before Air. Greenwood, at Hatton-garden Police-court, when they gave their names Henry Thompson and James Smith, both of whom were recognised as noted thieves. Mr. Greenwood committed the prisoners to three months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. Several other young thieves were committed for similar periods for picking pockets at the illuminations, and others were committed for trial. We understand that the Sheriffs are preparing (throu g h the Efrd,r-Sl:,•riff France) t fake legal against the Speaker of the House of Commons for false impri sonment.— Morning Chronicle. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was hell for the purpose of consider ing the propriety of voting addresses of congratulation to her Majesty the Queen, Prince Alb er t, an d t h e D uc h ess cf Kent, upon the solemnization of the Royal nuptials. DISCHARGE CF SHERIFF WIIEELTON FROM CUSTODY. The LOUD MAYOR stated to the Court that he had re ceived the following letter from Sheriff Wheelton:— " 57, Myddleton-square, Pentonville, " Feb. 12, 1840. " My dear Lord Mayor—lt with unspeakable plea sure I have to inform you that the House of Commons dis charged me at two o'clock this morning, on account of the injury my health has sustained by so long a confinement. " I sincerely trust that it will please the House to dis charge my worthy colleague this evening. " As I feel too weak for a few days to attend to busi ness, I trust that your Lordship and the Court will excuse my temporary absence while I em endeavouring to rec.ruit my health by change of air. " With many thar.ks to your Lordship and the Court for every act of kindness and attention I have experienced during my incarceration in the House of Commons, " I remain, my dear Lord Mayor, Very affectionately yours, " JOHN WHEELTON, Sheriff. " The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor." Sir PErEtt LAURIE gave notice of the following motion : —" That the descent and access to the inconvenient and ill-adapted apartment recently constructed for the purposes of a Justice Room at the Mansion-house, being so dark as to render it necessary to have the pass,ges lighted with gas by day to prevent accidents, and it being in ether respects unfit and unsafe for the merchants resorting thereto, that it be referred to the Committee for General Purposes to con sider the necessity of reinotating the room heretofore used as a police room, with the original approaee from the front, and for making the same suitab!e for the public and cre ditable to this City." THE MARRIAGE OF THE QUEEN. The LORD Alavoß read the requisition calling upon him to convene a Court to take into consideration the propriety of voting Addresses 'of congratulation to Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, and the Duchess of Kent, upon the happy event, the solemnization of the Royal nuptials. His Lordship stated that the Court of Alderman had that morning adopted unanimous resolutions, and founded ad dresses upon them, which were to be delivered by the Sheriffs.—( Cheers.) Mr. WIRE rose to move a resolution upon the subject. He stated that the marripge of her Majesty with Prince Abort was hailed by the whole nation as an event of the most important and interesting kind, and he was convinced that the Court would unanimously agree to addresses of congratulation to her Majesty, her Royal consort, and her Royal mother.—(Cheers. ) The Queen had been educated by her mother in an unostentatious seclusion, and at her accession the people of ttie realms which she governed looked with a confident hope to a long, aus picious, and prosperous reign. At her Majesty's Corona tion the loyalty and affection of her subjects were strongly exemplified, and they testified their delight at seeing her rule over a great people, according to the law. After the Coronation her M rjesty'i subjects naturally looked forward to the event which had taken place on Monday, will great interest. They had now to congratulate themselves and her Majesty upon her alliance with a young Prince, of whom public report spoke in terms of the warmest praise. Those who knew bins, spoke of him as a person graced by many virtues. He was descended from an illustrious house, to which his accomplishments made fresh accesso ries of dignity, and her Majesty was likely to enjoy a long reign of happiness and prosperity with him.—( Cheers. ) He (Mr. Wire) was satisfied that there was not an indi vidual in the country who did not invoke the blessing of heaven upon the head of the youthful and illustrious pair, and who did not consider that the happiness of the people was connected inseparably with their hap;dness.—( Cheers.) He then moved the first resolution (for which see adver tisement). Mr. WILLIAM JONES seconded the resolution. He would he said, only add one observation to that which had been so ably said by h;s friend the mover, namely, that the alliance might be biassed with a Prince-- an event which could not but confer an honour on the principality of Wales, of which he ( Mr. W. Jones) was a native.—( A laugh, and cheers ) Mr. Prixima — said that he had in travelling had the good fortune to meet with Prince Albert, whose conduct and mariners excited the highest admiration.—(Cheers.) The occasion on which he had seen the Prince was one in which pomp had nothing to do. He hoped and believed that the marriage would prove to be one of very great felicity, and he was sure that the national feeling was s inguine in anticipation.—( Cheers.) Af cr a few observations from Mr. R. TAYLOTt and Mr. A NDERTON, the resolution was carried unanimously, and amidst loud cheers. The other resolution was also carried unanimously. . _ Mr. PEWTRESS rejoiced in the unanimity which emisted on the subject. It would be said, prepare the Queen's n.incl for the application respecting Sheriff Evans, who still remained in the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms', which it might be considered e;ip , ,dient t•> make. —( Cheers. ) Mr. GALLOWAY gave his most cords it support to the addresses which were founded upon the resolution and read to the Court. Mr. BChTON was glad that not a dissentient appeared to any of the resolutions or of the addresses proposed to so large a body of the representatives of the citizens of Lon don, and felt persuaded that there was not an Engl'shman to be found who did not from his heart wish every happiness to the Queen and her Royal consort. There was no person in the kingdom who did not cordially wish and expect that a supreme degree of domestic felicity would be produced by the happy alli ance.—(Cheers.) The Corporation of London would not, he knew, be heartless lookers on upon such an event, because a band of irresponsible sticklers for privileges had done their best to make fools of themselves.—( Laughter, and loud cries of " Hear," and disapprobation.) Mr. GALLOWAY felt quite convinced that the expression used by Mr. Burton, with regard to the House of Cern mors, ought to be retracted. Mr. BURTON said that he most cordially opposed the re solutions and the addresses. Mr. STEVENS said that he looked upon the arrival of the Royal Consort of her Majesty as one of the greatest blessings for a great length of time experienced by this country, and that the happiness of the Queen would be completely established by the event. Mr. STACEY took occasion to advert to the quiet exer tions of the Duchess of Kent to render her daughter fit for the exalted station to which she had been elevated.— ( Cheers.) He was particulaey gratified at observing that the spirit of party had made no invasion in the interesting question which awakened and engaged their spnpathies; and he was confident that the unanimous vote would be most graciously received by the Queen and the other Royal personages.--( Cheers.) Mr. GALLOWAY made some observations on the admira b:e care and attention of the Duchess of Kent to her Ma j..st y in the course of her Majesty's education. The Addresses were then put, and unanimously, and w ith loud acclamations, agreed to. After that the Court adjourned. THE LATE MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT OXFO an.—On Thursday last, John Richardson Currer, a most promising young man, in his 21st year, commoner of Balliol College, met his death under the following distressing circum stances : —He was returning with a friend, each in a skiff, or small boat capable of holding one person, from Sandford, a place on the river about three miles from Oxford ; when within 300 yards of Sandford he inadvertently rowed too near the lasher, or waterfall, which carries off the waste water of the lock, and through which, now that the river is full the stream rushes violently down a fall of eight feet, into a deep basin, called the Lasher Pool, where it boils and eddies in a terrific manner, and finally hurries through the meadows, which at this time are many feet under water, by a deep and rocky channel. The unfortunate deceased, feeling his boat to be within the influence of the current, and perceiving his danger, made the most violent efforts to gat out of the eddy, but in vain ; his boat was hurried against a post which is placed in the river, at the top of thf. fall round which it was imme diately doubled up, by the force of the water, and broken in two, hanging down the fall from the post almost in ribbons; the deceased clog to the post as his boat went down, and held on for some time, while his companions, who had instantly pulled into shore, endeavoured to reach him from the land, but the distance was too great. He was soon compelled to let go Ins hold, and was shot down the fall with the rapidity of light ning. He rose in the Lasher Pool, sunk, and rose again, and then sunk to rise no more. The body was found under a bush after the lapse of half an hour. The usual remedies were ap plied but in vain. An inquest was held on the body on Satur day, when a verdict was returned of accidentally drowned. MYSTERIOUS JEWEL ROBBERY.-.O n Fr i day evening the house of Wm. Turner, Esq., 29, Welbeck-street, Cavendish-square, was robbed of a quantity of valuable jewel lery in a mysterious manner. It appears that Mrs. Turner went out to 'dinner about six o'clock on Friday, leaving her jewel-case, containing three trays of trinkets of the va:ue of from 5001. to 7001., on the dressing-room table. On return ing home between eleven end twelve o'clock at night the case had disappeared. Information was im.nediately sent to the police-station, and Inspectors Tedman and Black, of the D division, came to the house and made inquiries into the facts. After assuring themselves that the house had not been forced or entered from the top, the officers seemed to be of opinion that the robbery was committed by a servant, three of whom were left at home when Mrs. Turner went out. A messenger was immediately despatched to Mr. Turner, who is on a vi-it to the Duke of Rutland, stating the facts, and a reward of 501! has been offered for the discovery of the thief. PRESENT TO THE QUEEN.—On Friday, a very fine sturgeon, the first caught in the present Mayoralty in the River Thames, was sent as a present to her Majesty by the Lord Mayor. The Water-Bailiff, by the Lord Mayor's orders, attcnded in propria persona with the fish at the Palace, where it was received with the warmest thanks, and directions were given to the head cook to serve it up at the Royal banquet on the Royal wedding-day. CELEBRATION OF HER MAJESTY'S MAR RIAGE IN Pan:B.—Some private entertainments were given in Parrs on Monday in honour of her Majesty's nuptial-day ; but we have not heard that the happy event was celebrated at the British Embassy by any entertainment. Indeed, the number of English in the French capital at this moment would totally preclude the possibility of giving a fete, from which, of course, no person could be well excluded. As it is, the spacious saloons of Lord Granville scarcely suffice on the Friday receptions for the numerous visitors, native and foreign. A private letter re marks that great indignation was expressed at the alleged ru mour of the Duke of Wellington not having been invited to be at tier AlJjoaty a marriage; but it a,:ds, there must be a mistake, as it is impossible such a slight or oversight could have been committed.
