Upon the remarkable ecclesiastical movement Co D E which in 1843 attached so much of mingled obloquy were highly approved, and in proof of the same the and applause to the name of Dr. CHALMERS, we shall KING announced that reductions would be made in say nothing. It is scarcely possible to conceive, his tariff at the earliest possible moment. however, that this virtuous and learned man was actu ated in that movement by any but the purest motives and the loftiest aspirations. THOMAS CHALMERS might, . _ .. from the fallibility of human nature, unwittingly fal into a mistake—be could never designedly be guilty of any dereliction of duty. Gifted beyond most men in the capacity and bril liancy of his intelligence, THOMAS CHALMERS was in like manner gifted with a sublime elevation of pur pose. His memory is his panegyric. The quondam "Reproductive Employment Com mittee " held their first meeting at the Rotunda on Tuesday under their new title of the " Irish Coun cil." There was a fair attendance of persons repre senting every shade and variety of politics—the Orangeman and Conservative, the Whig and Radical, the Old Ireland and Young Ireland repealer. The advantages that may be derived from the association are wholly dependent on the man ner in which its members will act, on the fidelity with which they may adhere to the lead ing principle of their society. If they will honestly and conscientiously waive all selfish and party con siderations ; if they will, irrespective of political or religious differences, cordially and energetically co operate together for the good of their common coun try, for her elevation in the social scale, and the ame lioration of her children's condition, their exertions will be valuable indeed, and greatly tend to the attainment of the desired object. But, on the other hand, if they suffer bickerings or discussions to pre vail, no matter what may be the exciting causes, if they endeavour to promote the interests of any class in* preference to the general welfare of all, their meetings will be productive of evil in place of good, and it would be well if they had never met. There are certain topics which, if at all intro duced, must inevitably lead to contentions, but there is a wide field for their deliberation without trespassing on this debateable land. The line of demarcation is clearly indicated. It must be manifest to the dullest comprehension what questions are certain to call up an opponent and to excite angry discussion in an Irish society, and all such questions should be most religiously eschewed, and if for a moment brought forward in the heat of argument, should forthwith be suppressed by the authority of the chair. Madrid papers of the 27th have arrived. The KING still continues at the Prado, where he has been visited by his father, who had a long inter. view with him, but nothing has transpired as to what passed between them. It was reported in Madrid that the KING intended going to the Escurial. The Tiempo states that it is his intention to take up his residence in the capital of one of the provinces. The QUEEN continues her daily excursions, in which she is accompanied, as usual, by her uncle and her cousin. The effects of Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA have been removed to the Royal Palace. MADRID BOLSA, MAY 27.—The Three per Cents. were done at 30% cash, 30 1 % paper; the Four per Cents., 18 cash; Five per Cents., 18 1 cash, 18 1 j paper; Debt without Interest, 53 cash, 6 paper; Exchange on London, 49 cash. We are not amongst those squeamish and nervous persons who think that there is danger to the institu tions of the country from regular and periodical dis cussion with respect thereto. Those which are really sound will bear any ordeal to which they may be subjected. However vigorous the attack may be, a corresponding defence will be forthcoming, if they are based on equity and justice, and deserving of public support. Whatever may be the case, truth will eventually be elicited, and more accurate views produced from the arguments used on either side. The glorious triumph of free trade the abolition of the gigantic and pestilential monopoly that so long brooded over the nation, that fettered our commerce and impaired our energies, was owing to , the cogent reasoning, the convincing proofs adduced by the members of the League at their meetings, and wafted on the wings of the press throughout the length and breadth of the land, which clearly pointed out and established the injurious results of, and the gross injustice perpetuated by, an adherence to the old and now, happily, obsolete system. We have often known the .most beneficial effects flow from public meetings and pablic discussions, but rarely, if ever, anything baneful or injurious. Publicity, however, is essentially necessary ; the moment privacy is resorted to, under any circumstances, or on any pre text, that moment the usefulness of the body has de parted; you may be certain that some insidious proposition is about to be brought forward which will not bear the light of which its advocates, and supporters are at heart ashamed. The Irish Council in deciding that the press shall be admitted to all their proceedings, have given the best guarantee of the purity of their motives and intentions; and so long as they continue to do so—so long as everything brought Forward is open to the world, and subject to the commeats of the journalists, there can be no danger from the indiscretions to which all men are subject. For a long series of years the fatal rule, " Divide et imperil' has been acted on towards Ireland with fatal success. Her weakness has been ,chiefly owing to the differences of her chil dren, to the blind and reckless hostility they have exhibited, and the animosities which they have felt towards each other. If these feelings can be altered, if they can be induced to regard each other ae labourers in the same vineyard, to support and strengther: their mutual exertions, so long as they are directed to the same end and object—to regard each other as natives of the same great family, with be nignity and kindness—the chief difficulty that has hitherto retarded the regeneration of Ireland will be obviated, and a fair prospect afforded for her ultimate prosperity and welfare. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The Presse continues its attacks on the Ministry for not intervening in Spain to support French in terests. The article (which is one of a series to ap pear day by day) is well seasoned with abuse of England, her policy, her religion, and her Govern ment. Rumours of an impending change of I.lli nistry still continue rife in the French capital. The National says— " According to certain journals 111. Duchatel was to have returned to Paris yesterday, and to have resumed his func tions as Minister of the Interior; according to certain others he was to spend not fewer than eight or ten days at Ram bouillet. All were mistaken—M. Duchatel did not return to Paris yesterday, and he hardly passed forty-eight hours at Rambouillet. It is probable that the air of the forest did not agree with him, for we learn that he thought right to approach the sea, and that he is at this moment at Trouville. We are assured that Trouville will not be his last station, and that before coming to Paris he will try several other places. This state of things annoys M. Guizot exceedingly ; he had never greater need of a man who knows the Chamber well, and how to manage it. If he be obliged to reach the end of the session without the help of M. Duchatel, the campaign will be a severe one for him, as in the month of August next it is probable that he will, like M. Duchatel, feel the necessity of a change of air, and of improving the health of body and mind far from Paris." We read in the Union illonarchique "It appears certain that the Ministry, whilst putting on airs of triumph for the very equivocal victory which it ob tained on the question of postal reform, was, at the bottom of its heart, very seriously frightened at the small and un accustomed figure of a majority of 25 votes. We learn, in fact, in the most positive manner, that after a long and pro found deliberation on the dangers of the present situation, it was decided in the last Council of Ministers that the Govern ment should endeavour to the end of the session to avoid all kinds of debates on questions of administrative and financial reform. In consequence of this resolution, it was decided that no opposition should be offered—at least to the principle of the proposition of the Hon. M. Demesmay, relative to the duty on salt, which is about to be submitted to the Chamber, and that the amendment of the Committee, adjourning the execution of the proposed measure to 1849, should be sup ported, or, if necessary, enlarged." The affair of General CUBIERES still continues to excite great attention. The report of the Committee, which is considerably advanced, will extend to more than 800 folio pages. The National says that " the Committee is determined to pursue its labours how ever high the station of the persons compromised." When the report shall have been distributed to the Peers the Chamber will assemble and discuss with closed doors the question as to whether it will be ad visable to institute ulterior proceedings. " It is announced (says the Cow-rier Francais) that Bou MAL", is about to return shortly to Algeria, and that the Government has determined to confide to him the command of a body of native troops. He is, it is said, to be placed under the orders of General Yusur." Mr. CHARLES KINNAIRD SHERIDAN (son of the late THOMAS SHERIDAN, and grandson Of RICHARD BRINSLEY SHERIDAN), one of the Attaches of the British Embassy at Paris, died in the hotel of the Embassy on Sunday night last, May 30, in the 30th year of his age. The Sentinelle des Pyrenees states that the Carlist General ALZAA and another Spanish refugee named PEREZ were taken into custody on Thursday last, at Bayonne. General ALZAA is said to have been in the environs of Bayonne for more than a month, and to have taken several journeys into the Guipuscoa. The Echo de l'Agriculture announces a fall in the price of grain in almost all the markets of France. The Constitutionnel states that " the appearances of the forthcoming harvest are particularly fine in the department of the Eure and Loire. In the depart ments of the Meuse, the Vosges, and the Moselle likewise, the crops are magnificent, and unless some fortuitous calamity occur, the produce will not only be abundant, but the harvest particularly early."

Upwards of 50,000 persons have visited the Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens since Whit Monday. Among them were the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, Espartero, Duke of Victoria, and party; Earl of Sheffield, Earl Digby and party, Sir Charles Monk and party, Count D'Oraay, Sir Cfr. Wilson, and numerous others. The plan for the adoption of a uniform penny re ceipt stazt . p, althougii hitherto neglected by the Government, is Still urged in the City, and a petition on the subject has jisat been prozented to the Louse of Commons. The existing tar posseaaes .the two great-qualities which invariably tempt to evasion, .nee, from its zomplications, it is no less incon venient than burdensoisi.e. in 1783 the estimated produce of the receipt stamp tax, as then proposed to Parliament, at the rate of 2d. between 2/. and 20/., and 4d. for all higher sums, was 250,000/. ayear, and notwithstanding the fact of the tax having since been increased to rates varying from 6d. up to 10s., the produce in 1843 was no more than 174,755/. Taking into account the extension of business . between these periods, the evidence is plain of some unfitness in the system, at least on its present scale, with the prevailing habits of business, anti there can be little doubt that if suffered to con tinue without n,ioditication, it will rapidly fa ll int o total dis regard. Mr. COBDEN, M.P., has made his farewell speech in Italy. The inhabitants of Turin were foiled in their eager desire to receive their distinguished %1.- sitor in the same magnificent manner in which be had been entertained in other cities of their beautifal country, owing to their having no public building containing a hall or apartment of sufficient dimensions to contain the numerous admirers who were anxious to gre e t th e presence of our celebrated countryman. and v i Nevertheles s th e i n fl uent i al nobles did their utmost, untarily invited sixty guests to a banquet, which they had determined upon giving in Honour of the great commercial regenerator of contrast county nineteenth century.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool!yesterday were 6,000 to 7,000 bales, including 1,000 American fur export. The market closed very heavily, and the improvement of 4d. per lb, on American was entirely lost, although Surat and Maceio were %d. dearer. Other sorts much the same. In the sales were comprised 3,000 bales American, at 6d. to 7%d.; 2,000 Bahia at 7%d. to 7%d .; and 600 Surat, at 4d. to 4 3 4 d. per lb. Shares suffered a considerable decline, and closed heavily, although a fair business was done. There are no later arrivals to-day from any quarter, and we may usefully embrace the opportunity to revert to local matters. We stated yesterday that the advices from the ma nufacturing districts were of a more encouraging nature. Messrs. Ferguson and Taylor state, in their report from Man chester, that " The recent change in the weather, and the rapid progress of vegetation in this country, combined with the highly favourable reports of the prospects of the con tinental harvests, have given an improved tone to this market within the past ten days.

Great interests are at stake upon the issue of the next six weeks or two months. the weather pontinue auspicious, we have little doubt that the autumn trade will be in the highest degree satisfactory." Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury describe the imports of produce into London last month as having beep very exten sive, but as irnportero have been free sellers, prices have de clined, The official returns published by the Board of Trade indicate also a great increase in the imports of all articles of subsistence during the three months pf this year, ending with April 5, and as the consumption has also largely increased as regards most of the principal articles, including sugar, tea, and coffee, we may count upon an increased outlay on that score, which o ur exports do not as yet promise to meet, for t hey have fallen off nearly 200,0001. The decline is principally upon cotton manufactures, coals, and yarns, partly counterbalanced however by an increase in glass, iron, wool, and silk manu factures. The English Funds have been further depressed again to day, and there have been some money sales making, although there is no particular demand for capital out of doors. The rally in corn, with the reports about the potato disease, the heavy railway calls, and the continued distress in Ireland, added to the uncertainty about Exchequer-bills, are all sources of present excitement and profit to the Bears.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(THIS DAY') The House sat to-day to hear gn g 4sh appeals, The Peers present were the Lard Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Campbell ; the earl cdgall6va.,Y, and the Bishop of St. Asaph, RANGER V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. The further arguments in this appeal occupied their Lord ships the whole morning. VICE-CHANCRY.--(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England heard mo tions to-day, but no case of any public interest came before the Court during the morning. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The Court was occupied all the morning with motions which were destitute of a particle of general interest. LEAVE V. KING. The arguments in this cause, which came on upon an ex ception to the Master's report, were resumed and concluded to- day. His LORDSHIP said that the present case differed from all the other cases that had been cited, and he would require time to consult the authorities on the question at issue before delivering his judgment. It appeared to him that the cir cumstances of the case were siugply these :—An estate was devised to certain parties in trustror the testator's wife, and it was directed by the will of the testator that after her death it should be sold. Out of the estate it was directed that a sum of 6,0001. should be raised, and a moiety of interest arising therefrom should be paid to the widow during her life time, and the residue to be divided into three parts, between two nephews and a niece of the testator. During the life time of the tenant, Robert Shaw King, one of the nephews, was desirous of raising money from the Norwich Union Company, who were parties to the exception, and who, before they would advance any, required to see the will of the testator, and saw that the property was subject to the charge of 6,0004, a moiety of the interest of which belonged to Sarah King, who, in order to facilitate the execution of the mort gage which Robert S. King was desirous of executing, agreed to release the property from her charge upon it, but she did not by so doing transfer her claim to any other party. A notice of the deed to which the lady was a party was given to the trustees, which, it was contended, was insuffi cient, as it did not set forth the particulars of the arrange. ment which had been entered into by Sarah King. These were all the facts of the case, as they appeared to him, and he would look more closely into the cases that had been cited. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN. ) MISS ELIZA COOK-THE QUEEN V. THOMAS WHARTON MIER , . DEN- APPLICATION FOR A CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. MARTIN, Q.C., said he had been instructed to apply to his Lordship, on behalf of Miss Eliza Cook, for a rule, calling upon Thomas Wharton Smerden, the printer and publisher of a paper bearing the title of the Daily Advertiser to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him for the publication of a gross and malicious libel, reflecting upon the conduct of the lady on whose behalf he made the present application. Miss Cook was a young lady of about 25 years of age, and of consider able poetic genius. She had written a number of poetical pieces, and had published to a great extent, and her effusions had been mush admired by those who were in the habit of reading poetry. The matter to which he was calling the attention of the Court, was to Miss Cook of the most serious nature, as she had been charged with one of the most horrible crimes that could be perpetrated. In the copy of the paper, published on the 29th of May, there appeared a paragraph, which stated that she had given birth to a child, and that she had murdered it. Mr. Justice WlGHTDlAN—Murdered her own child? Mr. MARTIN replied that the statement in the paragraph was to that effect ; but there was not the slightest ground for the charge. He had a number of affidavits, which stated that Miss Cook was a person whose character was wholly free from reproach, and that she had never been suspected of any impropriety of conduct whatever. Of course the publi. 7 cation of such a charge had caused Miss Cook and her friends much anxiety. It was in the following words : " Et IZA Coox.—Considerable anxiety has been excited on the part of the public, who do not read the poetical contri butions of the Dispatch, to know what really can have in duced its proprietors to present their subscribers with a por trait of a woman who has murdered her own child. Such is fame amongst the masses—a murderess is a heroine and a poetess unknown !" He was at a loss to divine the object which the publication of such a statement was intended to answer. He had the affidavits of all of Miss Cook's friends, who, on hearing the charge, immediately came forward and gave the most ex plicit denial to it; but he would not trouble his Lordship by reading them, as it would be sufficient for him to state that they concurred in saying that there was really not the slightest ground to suspect that Miss Cook at any period of her life had been guilty of anything which could entitle any one to cast an imputation upon her private cha racter ; and that, therefore, both she and her friends were most anxious that the most public and distinct denial should be at once given to so foul a charge. He understood; how ever, that his Lordship after granting the rule would hear no more of the matter, as the paper complained of yesterday published a statement denying, in the most positive terms, that there was any truth in the accusation which it had put forward, and to-day he believed some communication had taken place, which would, no doubt, tend to the same result; so that any future proceedings would, in all probability, be obviated. Mr. Justice WIGHTKAN—Tou may take a rule. The affidavit of Miss Cook—after describing her abode; that she had contributed a great number of original poems to the Dispatch; and that its proprietors were about to present their subscribers with a portrait of her—concluded thus : " And this deponent further saith that she is a spinster; that she never had or gave birth to a child ; and that, on the contrary, she is a spinster of strict honour and perfect chastity; and she further saith that she has never murdered, or been concerned, or charged to have been concerned in the murder or death of any child whatever." The following. is the retractation to which the Learned Counsel referred " THE ' DISPATCH,' AND ELIZA COOK.--It is with great regret that we find that a paragraph, meant more attack san k appeal against the taste of the English people t h an ttan an upon Miss Eliza Cook, has been interpreted into an aspersio n upon that lady's character. The fact that one Eliza Cooke, or Cook, had recently been executed for murder, and that we had heard the question asked by a friend, who was not over well read in modern poetry—what could have induced the Dispatch to give such a portrait?—led to the publica tion of the paragraph •, and, if a libel, we considered it rather as a libel upon the taste which was better read in the criminal reports of 'the journal than in its poetical co lumns, to which a pointed allusion was made. We can only say, in addition, that Miss Eliza Cook has no warmer ad mirers of her genius than ourselves; and that it is with un feigned regret we find that a possibility for such a construc tion being put upon our paragraph did exist. It certainly was unintentional upon our part. With regard to any action for libel with which the Dispatch threatens us, we have only the option of being at their service when and where they will. If any moral damage has been done, we have made moral reparation to the extent of our power, and so the mat ter must rest." 11UNDEW V. THE DUKE OF BILUNSWICK. Mr. Lnar applied for a rule nisi in this case, on the ground that judgment had been prematurely signed. The facts of the case have repeatedly appeared in The Sun. The Court acceded to the application. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) THE CASE OE DE SOUZA AND OTHERS. Mr. DOANE said he appeared on the part of the Society for the protection of Young Females, in the prosecution against Madame De Souza and others. The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE inquired whether any of the defendants were present ? Charles Smith and Mary Davis, alias Stevenson, answered, when, _ _ _ Mr. DOANE said, that under all the circumstances, he was not instructed by the parties he represented to offer any evidence. The LEARNED Junaa said, he recollected that the case was allowed to stand over from the last session, the principal offeuder having pleaded guilty, and been held to bail, to appear for judgment when called upon, in the sum of 1004 and two sureties of 50/. each, in order that the Court might have an opportunity of seeing if the nuisance had been abated. Charles Smith then pleaded Not Guilty, as did Mary Davis, when, The ASSISTANT-JUDGE informed the jury, that as no evi dence was offered on the part of the prosecution, it was their duty to acquit the prisoners. A verdict of Not Guilty was accordingly returned. In the case of Catherine Ham and Mary Ann Brickler, the Assistant-Judge ordered their recognisances to be dis charged. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) Theresa Duffey, a little g i r l a b out e i ght years of age, was placed before blr. Bingham, charged with uttering a counter feit half-crown. Mary Truelove, No. 1, Gilbert-street, Oxford-street, stated that on the previous afternoon the prisoner entered her shop and requested to be served with a pound of the best flour, in payment for which she tendered the counterfeit coin produced. Witness did not at first detect it as being bad, and gave the child 2s. 3 1 / s d. change. Directly the pri soner had left the shop witness observed that the coin ap peered to differ in colour to the other money in the till. She, therefore, examined it, and found it to be nothing more than a piece of pewter. She went in pursuit of the prisoner, and on coming up with her, taxed her with uttering the had halt crown. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the coin being bad, and said she had received it from her mother, who was ill in bed. Witness then gave her into custody. Louisa Duffey, the prisoner's mother, denied giving the child the counterfeit half crown. In reply to Mr. BINGHAM, the prisoner said she was play ing with some other children in Bird street, when a man came up to her, and gave her the half-crown, with a request that she would go and purchase a pound of flour, and bring the change back to him. He also told her that if she was questioned as to how she came by the money she was to to say that she received it from her mother, who was ill in bed. Catherine White, an intelligent little girl, nine years of age, said she was playing with the prisoner, and saw a man give her a half•crown to fetch a pound of flour. She should know the man again if she met him. Mr. BINQHAM said he must discharge the child, as she had evidently been made a tool of by some villain. RAILWAY COMMITTEES, (THIS DAY.) 1 - 10 USE OF COMMONS.: GROUP 111. The Committee met this morning at twelve; Mr. Vernon in the chair, XiONBON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST (LONDON BRIDGE STATION ENLARGE MENT AND ARRANGEMENTS). Mr. Bill, Q.C., opened the case on behalf of this Bill, which is one of several schemes before the Committee for the enlargement of the London-bridge station. In the course of his otaseTvations the Learned Gentleman intimated that an arrangement had been made with the rival company for a joint Bill for the enlargements proposed. They were opposed by the directors of St. Thomas's Hospital and the authorities of the parish of Bermondsey. After an explanation of the nature of the enlargements, and the necessity for them, the examination of witnesses was progeeded with. GROUP XVIII. DIANGOTSTIELD AND BATH. The Committee assembled this morning, at twelve o'clock —the Earl of Lincoln in the chair—when they proceeded to take the evidence against the line. GROUP XXIV. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD EXTENSION. The Committee assembled this morning at twelve o'clock ; Lord Rendlesham in the chair. Mr. TALBOT opened on behalf of the promoters, anticipat ing the objections of the landowners who have petitioned against the line, and called Mr. Ross, the engineer of the Chester and Holyhead line under Mr. Stephenson, and who is at present the acting en gineer of the line as far as Conway, and who stated that the alterations had been planned by him. The deviations pro posed would principally affect a street in Flint called Evans'- lane, but the gradient would not be more than 1 in 132, and a much better summit would be attained. The next altera tion was between Dowlas and Abergelly, where the company proposed to go about 200 yards more inland, where in order to avoid the sea they would have to surmount a summit requiring gradients of one in a hundred on each side, and there would be an increase of the tunnelling to the extent of 250 yards, but the line would be greatly improved by the alteration. There were no valid objections that he was aware of, and the total expense would be 50,000/., and foar com panies, who are now acting in concert, would have to be ac commodated by the new station at Chester. Mr. WORDSWORTH appeared for Mr. Jones Bateman, a gentleman who conceives that his property is likely to be affected, and who complained that an agreement which had been settled and engrossed had not been completed by the directors, and he therefore proposed to introduce a clause, which would in effect embody the agreement. Mr. HOPE contended in reply that Mr. Wordsworth had no locus standi, as the agreement though not completed was not destroyed, and tberetore there was no right for the peti tioner to interfere. GROUP XLV. EDINBURGH AND PERTH, The Committee met this day in Room 28, at twelve o'clock ; Sir Denis Le Merchant, chairman. Mr. ANDREWS opened the case for the promoters of the Bill. The line. he stated, was 36i miles long; the e,ti•• mated cost 650,0001. It would traverse one of the richest mineral fields in Scotland, and would be of the greatest national importance, as connecting Edinburgh with the North. The line would be of great advantage to the dis. tricts traversed, as its effect would be to lower the price of coal and lime, both indispensable articles for domestic and agricultural purposes. He contended that in consequence of an agreement entered into with the Edinburgh and Northern Company in 1845, that company should be excluded from appearing before the Committee. Sir Charles Adams was examined to prove the agreement. COMMITTEE on PRIVATE BILLS. (THIS DAY.) LIVERPOOL WATERWORKS. The Committee assembled this morning, Sir J.

TESTIMONIAL TO CAPTAIN BROOKS, OF THE STEAM-SHIP ORIENTAL. On the arrival of the Oriental at Alexandria, on the 6th of May last, Captain Brooks, one of the ablest and most experienced officers in the Peninsular and Oriental Company's service, had the gratification of receiving the following highly complimentary letter from Viscount Torrington and his fellow passengers in that ship:— (Copy.) " On board the Oriental, off Alexandria, May 6th, 1847. " TO CAPTAIN GEORGE BROOKS, COMMANDING THE ORIENTAL STEAMER. " Sir,—On behalf of the ladies and gentlemen, my fellow passengers on board this ship, and at their request, I have great pleasure in communicating to you our unanimous and grateful sense of the attention, urbanity, and kindness, by which you have so much contributed to our comfort and enjoyment, during our agreeable voyage from Southampton to this place. The long experience, careful diligence, and cautious zeal, by which you have for so many years acquired for yourself the distinguished confidence and esteem of the public at large can, we feel, receive no higher praise from us than has long been awarded to you by others, equally, per haps more competent, to render justice to your merits. " But we desire on this occasion to present to you a more lasting memorial of our esteem than our words alone can convey, and it is with sincere pleasure that I now beg to hand to you on the part of my fellow-passengers, my family, and myself, the accompanyin g s um o f mo ney, hich we re quest you to lay out in the purchase of such a testimonial as may be most acceptable to yourself, and best calculated to perpetuate the expression of our thankful and friendly sense of your deserts. I remain, Sir, very sincerely yours (on the part of the passengers of the Oriental), (Signed) " TORRINGTON." OMNIBUS ACCIDENT.—Last night, between nine and ten o'clock, Mrs. Ashmead, of No. 27, Theobald's court, Aldersgate-street, was crossing St. Paul's Churchyard, near the end of Cannon-street, carrying a female infant seven months old in her arms, when she was knocked down by an omnibus, the wheels of which passed over her ab domen. The child was also severely injured by the horses hoofs. THE FAMISHING Pooa.—This week the famishing poor at and about Nottingham have (though to no serious extent in the way of mischief) vented their feelings in conse quence of bakers, &c., not lowering the price of bread and flour in proportion to the reduction in the price of corn. That a few selfish people in the country should create dis content and fears for public safety generally is truly infa mous. Should any consequence iollow the entire blame will rest on their wicked heads. And these, along with the great monied corn gamblers, to serve their infamous ends, made so much prate about a fasting and praying day; thus mocking their Maker and plundering their fellow-men !

TUE WILL OF THE LATE ARCHDUKE CHARLES Op AUSTRIA.—It is rumoured at Vienna, that some provisions of the will of the late Archduke Charles are to be changed, with the Emperor's consent. The fortune left by the deceased, after paying all debts, only amounts to 15,000,000 of forms (1,480,0000. With that sum the successor to the majorat would find it scarcely possible to pay his brothers and sisters the legs ies bequeathed by the will. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR WORCESTER A fatal occurrence happened on the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, at Norton, near this station, on Tuesday evening. by which one life has been sacrificed and another penned. The facts, as near as they could be ascertained, arc briefly these :—Three men employed on the works lay down upon 1 the rails and actually went to sleep, and in that position a luggage train coming up, two of them were run over, and one was killed on the spot. The other is so severely injured that it is doubtful whether he can recover. He has been conveyed to the Worcester Infirmary. The remains of the deceased, whose name is John Tovey, have been conveyed to the nearest inn, where a full investigation into the circum stances will be opened before the county coroner. SWINDLING EXTRAORDINARY. —ln the Sheriff Criminal Court, Edinburgh, on Thursday, a person, who took the name of George Bilson, was accused before Mr. Sheriff Tait of falsehood, fraud, and swindling, under cir cumstances of an extraordinary nature. It appeared that on the Bth of October, 1846, Bilson hired, for himself or a copartnery, a saloon in the Royal Hotel, Edinburgh, and issued circulars and handbills announcing that goods, con sisting of Indian, Chinese, Persian, and French shawls and scarfs, and other articles of foreign manufacture, would be displayed and sold by retail, or brought to " legalised sale by private treaty." It appeared that such articles, when actually of the manufacture described, were greatly in de mand ; but it was ascertained that the goods exposed by the accused were not genuine, but were inferior in value and de scription to what was produced in Britain. Having disposed of many of the articles on the faith of his representations, this constituted the charges of falsehood and fraud. He was also charged with forgery, inasmuch as he adhibited characters or markings on the goods, intending the same to pass as the genuine characters of the Indian, Chinese, and o th e r foreign manufacturers. On the case bein g call ed on, no appearance was made by or for the accused. His bail of 1001. was therefore declared to be forfeited, and a warrant was issued for his apprehension. It is understood that the establishment was broken up, and the individuals connected with it, scattered, so that this prosecution has doubtless accomplished both an exposure and termination of the con traband trade. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. —The liberality which this company has shown, in conveying pro visions and clothing for the destitute Irish free, has been suddenly checked by a discovery of the fraud by which the privilege has been abused. It is painful to think that there are unprincipled persons ready to make a trade by fraudu lently representing their packages as gifts for the starving population of our sister isle, and thus obtaining free carriage of them along the railway; and it is lamentable that the free scope of generous feelings should be checked by such im position. We understand that since th e commencement of the Irish famine the London and North-Western Company h av e conveyed, free of charge, a weight of goo d s whichatth ordinary freights would have produced between 1,0001. and 2,000/. to the company. EARLY HERRINGS.—The Sovereign steamer brought a considerable quantity of early her - rings from the north, last week, which were re-shipped to London for Ham burgh, by steam. We understand the retires f or t h e fi rst parcel of herrings sold in Hamburgh this se ason , nette d about ten pounds a barrel.
