By the last-named document, it appeared that the accounts this ,ear exhibit a greater increase of receipts than those of my former half year, the gross income being £241,816 4s. Gd. 'le same eod were £14,988 7s. ~ leaving a nett balan ce of profit p o ri f X 136,427 16s. 10d. In Bd the expenditure for the present half year are included, the entire working expenses of the Chester and Crewe branch, with two additional trains ordered by the postoffice, while only one quarter's expenditure under this head was incurred in the cor responding half year, and the maintenance of n ay, over these 21 miles, forms an entirely new charge in the present accounts. An increase in the cost of locomotive power has taken place, the necessary result of 32,000 miles of additional duty during the half year, and, in consequence also, of four new engines and eleven tenders having been added to the stock. With these exceptions, the ratio of expense to the receipts is again less. The directors announced that they had abandoned the publication of comparative valuations of stock, convinced of its unsoundness. They recommended that a certain sum be periodically laid aside as a fund for the improvement of the stock, and to meet that insensible, but sure decay, which is perpetually going on, and which no care or expense can pre vent. The sum they proposed to appropriate on the present occasion was £5,000. Adding to the profit of the half year, £9,001 19s. 2d. as the reserve fund, we have a total of £145,829 16s. From this the directors recommended a divi dend of 6 per cent. to be paid on the whole capital of the com pany, amounting to £132,198, but of the surplus of £13,631 165., the directors bad set aside £5,000 for the depreciation and renewal of stock, leaving the reserved fund £8,631 16s. The nett receipt for Sunday travelling is 10s. 11d. per share of £lOO. The propriety of paying the dividends quarterly, the directors would not recommend at present. A reduction in the short fares had been tried with doubtful success. The arrangements with the Manchester and Birmingham Com pany for the use of the line between Crewe and Birmingham are completed. The returns on the Chester and Crewe branch have fallen short of what was expected ; but the traffic is improving, and hopes are entertained that it will ultimately be a source of profit. The attempt to carry out a line of railway to connect England and Scotland by the west coast has assumed a more important form since it was last mentioned to the-proprietors; and the directors, sensible of the influence which the completion of such a railway would exercise up•n their interests, have, with other railway companies similarly situated, subscribed to procure a parlia mentary survey of the line between Lancaster and Carlisle. The report spoke most favourably of this project and its prospects. At a future day it would be for the proprietors to determine whether the Grand Junction Company should not take a direct interest in the undertaking, as one that could not fail to benefit their revenue materially, The re port then said—" Intimation has been , sent to every pro prietor, that it is the intention of the directors to propose the appropriation of a thousand pounds towards the erection of a church at Crewe. The company's establishments for the repairs of engines and carriages will shortly be removed there, and some hundreds of men, with their families, will then be deprived of their present opportunities of religious instruction, and settled in a spot possessing provision only for its own very limited population. In these circumstances the directors consider they are performing their duty no less to the share holders than to the workmen who are dependent upon them, in commending to your favourable judgment the motion of which they had given notice. The amount per £lOO share caused by the appropriation of £lOOO, for the above purpose, would be about 10fd., and the directors are prepared to re commend, that any proprietor who may object to this appro priation should have the option of receving his proportion of the amount." The expenses for t. Captain Huish next read the accounts. In the capital ac count the total receipts appeared to be £2,273,354 45. 10d., and the balance with the bankers £14,299 10s. sd. The total receipts and expenditure in the income account have been already set forth in the abstract of the report. The nett proceeds of the half-year is £136,827 16s. 10d. • the reserved fund, with inte res t, £ 9OOl 19s. 2d.; total, i 145,829 10s. ; less amount set aside, £5000; equal to £140,829 16s. The number of shares entitled to a dividend amount to 22,033 hundred pound shares, which at £6 per share, gives £132,198, which, deducted from £140,829 165., leaves £8631 16s. for a reserved fund. The CHAIRMAN, after some introductory remarks, said, there was one subject to which be might allude. It was the apportioning of a certain sum for the purpose of building a church at Crewe. He hoped that step would meet the appro bation of the shareholders. The project did not originate with them ; they had but followed the example of the London and Birmingham Company. The step which that company had taken had given great satisfaction, and it might be thought that they were not doing their duty if they did not do the same. JOHN Moss, Esq., moved, "That the directors be em powered to subscribe the sum of £l,OOO towards the erection of a church or chapel at Crewe, for the accommodation of their work people and their families ; and that any proprietor of the concern objecting to the outlay be paid, upon applica tion to the treasurer, 11d. per £lOO share, or in the same proportion for halves and quarters, at the ensuing half-yearly meeting, being the proportion which will be required from each £lOO to raise £1,000; and that the treasurer keep a particular account of these payments, which will be made good by voluntary subscriptions." Mr. Moss said, he had great pleasure in moving that resolution. He thought unless they complied with it they would be failing in their duty. To remove so large an establishment suddenly from a place like Liverpool to a spot where there was no place of worship within two miles and a half, called for consideration, and he conceived it was as much a duty to build a church for them as it was to build cottages for them to live in. He had great doubts as to the propriety of making free seats for the men. He thought it would be better to reserve a portion of the church to let off to them at a small rental. Workmen did not like free seats. They had built a church in his neigh bourhood and this plan had been adopted, and it was found that the people preferred paying a small charge, and going to church on an equality with their more wealthy neighbours, much better than going into free seats. Mr. LEwIN MOzjor said, considering the position in which he was placed as one of the directors, he would take upon himself to explain why this proposal had his entire approval. As a citizen of the world he could not but be aware of the influence which affected the more conduct of men, and as it was his desire by every means to . prove the morals of those men whom the company emplo ,he thought, as they were about to move them from the r where they had ready access to religious worship, they cot not better com pass the object to which he had alluded than by building a church. On that ground, and on that broad principle, he had given his support to the proposition, and he had now great pleasure in seconding the resolution proposed by Mr. Moss. The CHAIRMAN said, in reply to Mr. George H. Law rence, that he had no do u bt th a t sc h oo l s wou ld b e u l t i mate l y established ; but it would be impsosible, out of so small a grant as £l,OOO, to build both schools and a church. After some further conversation the motion of Mr. Moss was car ried amid loud applause. Mr. HEYWORTH moved that a dividend,after the rate of £6 per cent. upon all shares (the proper amount of interest being deducted as respects the unpaid £25 shares), he declared and made out of the clear profits of the undertaking up to the 31st day of December last, and that such dividend be payable on or after the 15th day of February instant. A SHAREHOLDER seconded the motion, which was carried. The CHAIRMAN, at the request of Mr. Hardma h Earle, read letter from a liberal clergyman, residing in the vicinity of Crewe, stating, that in the school attached to his church they had no tests whatever, and, in consequence, the school was attended by children of persons of all parties, sects, and de nominations, and was the instrument of much good. It was attended by children of the Established Church, of Roman Catholics, Chartists, Socialists, &c. None of them were forced to use the Catechism, yet it was regularly used in the school, and the Bible was regularly read. The reverend gen tleman expressed his willingness to go over to Crewe at any time, and help the directors in their work of providing for the education of the children. Mr. TAYLOR wished to know how the receipts were going on this year as compared with the last. The CHAIRMAN said in the month they were some £4OO or £5OO short of the corresponding period last year. Much depended on the opening of parliament, and another week would probably make up the difference. He, however, re minded the meeting of the difficulties of the times, which af fected the railway s as we ll as o th er d escr i p ti ons of property. Mr. LAWRENCE HEYWORTH moved the following:— " That in consequence of parties entitled to fractional parts of the quarter shares created August 1840, not being able to arrange them from various causes, the sum of £55 135., which appeared to the credit of the last account, be divided amongst the parties who were entitled to such fractions." Mr. Moss seconded the motion, which was carried. Thanks were voted to the chairman, and the meeting se parated. THE LATE HURRICANE.--TWENTY-THREE VESSELS WRECKED.—LOSS OF LIFE. Within the last three or four days accounts of the most de plorable description have been received by the authorities at Lloyd's, respectinc , the loss of an immense number of vessels during the late frightful hurricane on the evening of Wednes day week, which has not been equalled for many years past. The sacrifice of human life has been very great, and it is feared, from the immense quantity of wreck that has since been washed on the coast, that many vessels foundered during the violence of the storm. It has been ascertained that upwards of twenty-three vessels were wrecked during the night of the 26th ult., as will be proved by the following particulars :—Shortly after the commencement of the storm a large smack, called the Alicia, belonging to Cork, drove amongst the rocks Off St. Bride's Bay, near Milford, and almost immediately became a wreck. The first person who left the vessel was a seaman named James Trance, but he had scarcely reached the roads before a tremendous sea over whelmed the vessel, and she was seen no more. The re mainder of the crew happily succeeded in saving; themselves except the mate, who failed in his attempt to reach the shore, and met with a watery grave. The vessel was laden with ballast, and was not insured. She was on her voyage from Youghall to Newport, in Monmouthshire. Amidst the fury of the storm, and about half-past ten o'clock at night, the brig Vermillion, laden with a general cargo, and belonging to South Shields, which place she only left the night before, ran on the rocks beneath Pitch Point, at Flamborough Head. The crew fortunately saved them selves through the assistance of the coast guard, but the ves sel became a total wreck. About the same time another vessel, called the Kerton, a brig, belonging to Sunderland, was driven on to the Corton Sands, off Great Yarmouth, and subsequently sunk in deep water, a complete wreck. Her crew, consisting of seven persons, bad barely time ta jump into the long boat before the vessel sunk, and were not picked up till late the following morning. The Bragauza steamer, Captain Lewis, which arrived at Falmouth, on Saturday last, with the mails from Gibraltar, during the hurricane picked up the crew of the brig Chance, of Stockton, from Liverpool, which was lost at the commencement of the storm—and about the same hour, the pilots and coast guard, stationed on the coast at Falmouth, saw a sloop founder within three miles of the shore, and all on board perished. From ac counts received from Limerick, dated the 26th of January, it appears that the damage done by the hurricane to the ship ping lying in the harbour exceeds £lO,OOO, and similar inju ries have occurred to the shipping in the harbour at Waterford. The other vessels wrecked during the storm are .—The Druid, belonging to Workington, lost at —.di of the. river leet, near Kirkenbright The ship otag, belonging t o Liver F pool, from Beaumaris,wrecked on the rocks near Leasowe Castle. The brig Peruvian, Capt. Carrell, on her passage to London from South Shieldi, lost on the sunken rocks near the lighthouse at Flamborou h Head ; crew saved by the ship's boats. The schooner Craig's g Eliza, Capt a i n P atterson, totally wrecked on the rocks un derneath Tynemouth lighthouse; crew saved by Captain Manby's life apparatus. The Honour, of St. Ic es, wrecked on the coast off W ex f or d , and also the schooner Sarah , be longing to Wexf or d ; a ll o f t h e crew, except one, perished. The ship Ceres, Capt. Pecker, having on board 700 tons of sugar, and a cargo valued at £20,000, lost on the 25th, on her voyage homewards ; one sailor was killeti by the fall of the mast, and another was drowned. The Arethusa, from Dublin, wrecked at St. John's Pier, Workin g t on ; crew sa ved. The Margaret, belonging to Liverpool, from Con way, laden with a valuable carp, lost off Hoy's Lake, at Mostyn. The French brig Corriere di Malta, belonging to Venice, laden with sugar, lost on the coast near Calais. The smack Nympth, belonging to the pilots of Llanelly, lost off that harbour. The Centurion, Capt. Johns, from Amlwch, was lost on the coast of Grenfield, at Mostyn, and the mas ter and three men met with a watery grave. Several other wrecks occurred on the coast during the violence of the gale, but their names arc not correctly made known. as follow 1 the a tlti`g POgiti7 was held at the Ass( for the purpose Of r mbly Rom aceiving ti: , Norwich, on Friday last report of the committee o directprs on the state of the - society's affairs, and considering the two codes of bye-laws, one of which had been prepared by the committee appointed by the general meeting in No vember, 1839, and the other by the directors. The result of the meeting will be found in an advertisement. We are not provided with a report of the proceedings, which occupied a great many hours, and therefore can this week only give the following notice from the Norwich nines: It is impossible adequately to convey an expression of the ardent determination exhibited by the members to uphold and extend this great and important society, or the feeling of pride of citizenship at its originating in our own Old Norwich. To this feeling is probably to be attributed the total rejection of the Bye-laws, and the resolution to stand on the constitution of 1808, with the condition (to which the assent of the directors was most cheerfully given) that an annual general meeting of the mem bers should be held in the month ofJ une, to exhibit the state of the cash accounts. Looking at the high standing of the directors of this society, an d th e i n t e lli gence o f its executive officers, we think the determination come to, to avoid per petual strife and agitation about altering the laws, a most wise and judicious resolve. Although we must defer till next week our report in detail, we cannot omit at once putting before the society and the public the remarks which fell from the talented secretary, Samuel Bignold, Esq., in acknowleg ing the unanimous vote of thanks to him for hls services to the society. Mr. BignOld observed, at this stage of the meeting, "I beg permission to make a few observations assuring the mem bers now assembled how deeply I am sensible of their kindness in the honorable testimony this day borne to my character and integrity, by the flattering vote of thanks now passed. Engaged in the first formation of this society, and connected as 1 have been with its whole history, I claim an acquaintence with its affairs, more intimate than perhaps can be possessed by any other individual: that thorough acquaintance enables me to assure this meeting, that of the stability of the society there can be no question, and of its prosperous progress in future there is the strongest grounds for confidence. Where is its fellow in the provincial institutions of this country, that can old out a security of a fund in hand of £1,700,000? —of a connexion for extent and influence so powerful as that possessed by this society ?—of a direction of higher character and probity—of officers and agents more devoted to its best interests ? These are points on which this society may bear comparison with any in the kingdom. Some persons allege, notwithstanding the gratifying fact of 445,000 already assig ned as bonus, the fund now to assign of upwards of 220,000 and the fund retained to meet prospective expences of £175,000 altogether a realisation of profit exceeding £BOO,OOO in 33 years, that more gains still should have resulted from this adventure. On this point I must beg leave respectfully to differ from those who think lightly of our prosperity. But then it is asked, are there not one or two societies that have done better than the Norwich ? To that question my reply will be, that there is no society whose legitimate gains can have exceeded ours, although by a process of calculation, larger apparent profits may be shown. Would you wish for perfect stability in all your important transactions, or a sickly prosperity ? An instance occurred in our own country of the injury resulting from overstrained calculations of the value of life. I allude to the Fakenham Provident Society, which at one period allowed annuitants, on a scale far too liberal for their funds to maintain. Facts might justify our assuming a ratio of mortality which would place us in a more elevated position, but it would be dangerous to the future interests of the members that we should do so. The points to be borne in mind as to our society are, first, its great and accumulat ing fund, tested in every imaginable way by able and disinter ested parties, and pronounced to be perfectly safe. No so ciety has undergone the sifting that this has in every branch of its affairs. The integrity of its capital—the' moderation displayed in computing its profits—the perfect order and method introduced into its book-keeping—the curtailment of every expense not absolutely indespensable for working the institution, and the enlisting of able and honorable men as directors, who independently govern its affairs. It is inten ded to hold annual general meetings ;to exhibit to distant members, through the boards of management and agents in large towns, periodical accounts, showing the exact state of the society : and in fine, to afford the strongest grounds for confidence in the institution, by treating with confidence all who have an interest in its affairs. I confess I know of no similar society that can lay equal claim to public support, nor have we cause to complain of the support extended to us ; for the last five years all the gaps in our business, created by deaths, policies sold in, and policies discontinued, have been supplied, and an increase on the previous great total of pre miums has been secured.—those premiums at June, 1836, amounted to £181,041 ; but at June, 1841, they stood at £184,549. The only other feature to call for comment is our low rate of premiums. On the mass of our business we grant, for 90, that for which most other offices require to be paid £100; thus enabling persons to secure from the first a larger reversionary payment ; or the advantage of a saving of £lO per cent, during their lives." MISCELLANEOUS Dr. Hook, vicar of Leeds, was admitted a member of the Leeds district of Independent Order of Odd Fellows, on Monday week. New WRlTS.—Shortly after parliament assembles, new writs will have to he moved for Liverpool, South Shropshire, Southampton, Leominster, West Cornwall, Thetford, Ban don, and Dublin University. POSTOFFICE ROBBERIES. Two clerks of the Bristol Postoffice have been apprehended, on suspicion of having stolen a great quantity of money-letters from that office. In one of their houses were found articles of plate quite beyond his means to procure, and for the possession of which he was unable to account. • MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Saturday last, as two young men, brothers, were skating near Edinburgh, the ice gave way, and both were precipitated into the water, and one was unfortunately drowned. The Duke of Buccleuch has been appointed to the office of Lord of the Privy Seal, in the place of the Duke of Buck ingham. Mr. Birkett, farmer, of Swineshead, had eight children christened on the day of the baptism of the Prince. They all walked to and from the church, two and two, attended by their father, godfather, and godmothers.—Lincoln Mer cury. MURDER AT LLANFAIR.—It is our painful duty to record a murder which took place at Llanfair, Montgomeryshire, under circumstances of a highly deplorable nature, on Sun day night last. We are not yet in possession of further in formation than that on Sunday night last, a family quarrel occurred between Robert Davies, Evan Davies, and their sister, when Evan Davies, under the two-fold excitement of intoxication and passion, stabbed his brother Robert in the abdomen, whereby death ensued almost immediately. The murderer has hith er t o e l u d e d th e v i g ilance of the police who are in active search for him.—Salopian Journal. DEATH OF MR. DAVIDGE.—This well-known actor and enterprising lessee is no more : for many months, Nye might say years, his health has been precarious. Mr. Davidge was born in Bristol, in the year 1794 ; was apprenticed to a printer, but at an early age exhibited a penchant for the stage ; after many efforts in the private theatres, then abounding in Bath and Bristol, he visited London, and was engaged as a compositor by Mr. Glendinning, of Rupert street, Hay-market ; he worked there by day, but played at night at the Dominion of Fancy, a small theatre opened by John Bologna, and situate between Burleigh-street and Southampton-street, Strand. Scott, then proprietor of the Sans Pareil, jealous of the encroachment of this Dominion, engaged Davidge and Giroux (the stars), and the former acted in The Old Oak Chest. From the Sans Pareil (now the Adelphi) he progressed to the Haymarket, and, dis gusted at the business assigned him, engaged at the Coburg in 1818; after being there many yFars as an actor he became part proprietor, his coadjutors being Messrs. Bengough and Le Clerq. The death of the former, and the retirement of the latter left him sole lessee. Following the example of Tom Dibdin, he introduced the " shilling order system," and realized £6,000. This sum he lost, and had no resource, save an annuity of .f2OO per annum, which in his 'prosp erous days he settled on Mrs. Davidge. Before this he had -pur chased the City Theatre of .1. K. Chapman, to whom he subse quently let it at £lO per week. in 1831 he went to Liverpool, and failed (as manager), was arrested by one of the proprietors of the Coburg, became a bankrupt, and passed his examination, being complimented by the commissioner. After this he was engaged by Mr. Osbaldiston, and subsequently by Du crow, at whose theatre lie took a benefit. Shortly after this he took the Surrey, which proved to him a mine of wealth. By Poll and My Partner Joe he cleared £4,000 in one season. Mr. Davidge's powers as an actor were limited : he excelled in the representation of testy and imbecile old men ; his performances in The Veteran or 102 will not be forgotten. Mr. Davidge died at ten minutes past five o'clock on Mon day night, in the nresence of his wife and Mr. Lawrence; his treasurer ; he took a glass of sherry and a jelly half an hour before his death.—Correspondent of the Times. ATTEMPT TO ASCEND MOUNT WELLINGTON. Mr. Huggins, a youth of delicate frame, and a person of the name of Cooper, having resolved to ascend Mount Wellington, proceeded up the mountain towards that part where the tall basaltic columns, so visible on a clear day, and deep chasms, oppose any further progress. They were puzzled at the dif ficulties, and determined to return ; but turned towards the left instead of the right, wandering on through a great many opposing obstacles, and only further ent ang li ng t h emse l ves . As night came on they shared with one another their little stock of provisions, and Huggins lay down to sleep in a cleft, having given his watch and a pistol which he had with him to Cooper, who kept watch, and did not sleep the whole night. They had endeavoured, but in vain, to make a fire with the pistol and some dried wood. In the morning they pursued their way, and Huggins became very much fatigued, and descended with much difficulty. At last they came to a ri vulet, and Cooper, who was much stronger in frame, told Huggins as he was unable to proceed further, that at all events the rivulet led somewhere where he could get assis tance, and that he would see where it led to, and retrace his steps to the point where he left his companion. He pursued the course of the rivulet for some distance, and came to a cataract foutteen;or fifteen feet in height. He decended this and then returned, thinking that if Huggins could reach this place all would be safe. He retraced his path, and after the lapse of sometime reached the place where he left him, when, to his astonishment, he was gone. He called and traversed the bush in every direction around, but there was no answer. At length at some distance, on a kind of opposing eminence, he saw a figure, which he took to be that of Huggins, and called to him as loudly as he could, but the figure, without seeming to pay any attention, darted into the bush like one like one demented, and it is probable indeed, that the poor boy's senses became bewildered, as frequently happens in such cases. It is even now mercy to hope that such was the the case, and that he perished—for dead long he (must be — unconscious of all those pangs of misery and desolation which must otherwise have assailed him in such a place, and with all the remembrances of his home and family still fresh on his mind. At this time Cooper began to suffer severely from hunger. He wandered about, and again made for the water, but thinks the branch he met the second time was different from the first. He quenched his thirst, but was much tormented by hunger. He tried to sleep, and dreamt as he regularly did on all occasions of his sleeping, that twa shepherds who came out with him in the Seahorse brought him food. After this night be felt no sensation of hunger, but was pursued by an incontroulable thirst, and whenever he deviated any distance from the creek, he was irresistibly im pelled back. He struggled on through the bush without his shoes, and in this way, for five days, he proceeded without food or shelter, and in the most intense cold at nights, by the moonlight of which he sometimes travelled, and sleeping during the day. On all occasions, in spite of cold and hunger he states that he slept soundly, and always dreamt of the shepherds bringing him provisions. He continued to pursue the course of the stream until Friday, not having tasted food since Sunday, when he came in view of a hut, and picked up two turnips. By this time he had lost all reckoning of time, and was reduced to the most deplorable state of weakness. Although the hut was not more than one hundred and fifty yards from where he stood, yet so great was his exhaustion, that be calculates it took him three hours to reach it. His figure presented a truly distressing appearance. His clothes where everywhere torn from his body, which had been very much lacerated by his exertions in forcing himself through the thickets, and his legs were covered with sores. His shoes were gone from his feet, which were benumbed ; and it is feared that he will lose some of his toes. Strong parties of un yverr.e_dHis b the 51st R eg i ment, and from the crews of the Erebus and Terror, dispatched r ed o in w s n earch of Mr Huggins, but there can be little d ou b t that the d ilge p oor fellow had perished of cold courier. I ilisheir A FitANCI Instead of a deficit of 244 millions, as last; year, the present budget,. announced on Monday last, declares a deficit of 28 millions only. Public confidence is therefore reassured, and the French funds rose on Tuesday. Mr. Backhouse, the Under-Secretary in the Foreign Office, has resigned. Mr. Addington, the late Minister in Spain, has been appointed in his place. Mr. Heron, a minister, had a large family of children. When dying, his weeping wife said, " Alas ! what will be come of all these children ?" He pleasantly replied. "Never fear ; He that feeds the young ravens won't starve the young Herons." NEW APPLICATION OP EUCLID'S ELEMENTS. — In the bankruptcy court, the other day, Mr, - was brought up to pass, when a friend observed upon his misfortune, " He began with £5,000; but was such a fool in his calculations, that in eighteen months be only got to the Pons Assiynorum and stopped there. During the visit of the King of Prussia on Monday, at Newgate, Mrs. Fry offered up a prayer for a blessing on his majesty, queen, and country. On commencing the prayer, she knelt, and the king immediately followed the example, remaining on his knees till the prayer was finished. Memorials have been forwarded to the Board of Trade by the confectioners against the importation of lozenges, acidu lated drops from Guernsey, and the other channel islands, and to obtain an alteration in the present unequal .tariff in this respect. ADDRESSES TO THE KING OF PRUSSlA.—Addresses were presented to his Majesty on Wednesday from King's Col lege, the Society for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews, the Bible Society, Church Missionary Society, and several other associated bodies. It is rumoured in legal and political circles, that Mr. Pemberton, the distinguished chancery barrister, is about to accept the office of President of the Judicial Committee, in the Privy Council. Mr. Pemberton, will, of course, be ad vanced to the peerage. We understand with extreme pleasure that the gloving trade in this city is reviving in some measure from that state of unexampled depression in which it has been for some time placed. During the past week many orders have been re ceived by our manufacturers on account of foreign as well as home consumption ; and we sincerely hope that this an nouncement is the harbinger of a still better state of things. How TO BREAK A COLT. — The late Mr. Giffard, of Chillington Hall, Staffordshire, gave orders some twenty years back, that a skilfultnan should be applied to, to break a colt of his own rearing ; and skilful did the one fixed upon prove himself. He was eleven years breaking the colt, having his place at the table in 'the servants' hall during the entire period, and at length continued to wear the family livery.—Fraser's Magazine. A CHALLENGE.—A dancing-master at St. Petersburgh, by origin a Dutchman, has given, notice that he will give a ball in the snow, and intends to take advantage of the first snow which falls for that purpose. He proposes to bet with any lady or gentleman that he will dance out in the snow their names at full, in legible characters, that he will not once miss time, and that each of his steps shall form part of a regu lar dance. Several persons of distinction have accepted the bet. Lord Stanley gives indications that he is prepared to work out the success of his own measure—the negro emancipation act. The Gazette of Tuesday contained an order in council announcing the probability " that the laws now in force in British India, for preventing the emigration of the inhabi tants thereof to her majesty's colonial possessions, will be shortly repealed, so far as respects emigration to the island of Mauritius ' • and that such last-mentioned emigration will be sanctioned by laws to be for that purpose enacted in In dia, subject to various provisions to be in such laws made for the protection of such emigrants, and for the prevention of abuses." THE QUEEN V. CLEVELAND. - At the hearing of this case in the Queen's Bench on Tuesday, the rev. defendant acknowledged himself the author of the letter signed Philo Junius, and addressed to Lord Fitzharding, but denied that he had sent the first letter to the Morning Herald. He declared that there was no foundation for the insinuations contained in the letters, and 'threw himself upon the Earl's mercy. The rule was made absolute. Our readers will remember the remaining particulars connected with this case. FRIGHTFUL STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT.—The Breton, of Nantes, mentions the explosion of the steamer, at Ancenis, and states that the body of the stoker was driven by the force of the steam through one of the bulkheads of the vessel into the passengers' room, and was most horribly mutilated. A letter from Ancenis states—" All the passengers who were on the deck, towards the stern, escaped without injury ; but the stoker, and 38 persons who were near the engine and in the fore cabin, were horribly injured. Three were killed in stantaneously, and 36 rendered hideous to behold. Every part of their bodies exposed to the steam was scalded, and some, who had inhaled the vapour, uttered piercing shrieks from its effects. At least one-third of the whole number in jured are in a dying state." BRUTALIIY. — WiIIiant Fairweather, blacksmith, at Gair low-bank, parish of Kirriemuir, was on Saturday week apprehended and transmitted to the.gaol of Forfar, charged with having confined his daughter, Susan Fairweather, a young woman of about 19 years of age, not altogether corn pos mentis, in a wooden crib, measuring in length about four feet ten inches, and in height about four feet nine inches at the highest part, and two feet six inches at the lowest, (con structed in an outhouse there,) from the 9th ult. to the Ist current, amongst a quantity of straw, and without sufficient clothing. When she was released by the officers of justice, it was found that, from want of attention to her, the very straw in the crib had become rotten ; and her person was in a state disgusting ta humanity, she had become so emaciated, and was in. such a state of debility, that she was unable to walk. We understand that the case is at present under investigation.—Aberdeen Journal. IMPORTANT TRINITARIAN AND UNITARIAN QUES TION. The Attorney-General, at the relation of G. Mathews, &c., v. the Rev. Dr. Wm. H. Drummond, &c.— This case was under discussion before the Lord Chancellor for four days. The grounds of the suit were, that, in 1710 (at which time Unitarianism was under the ban of the law), Sir Arthur Longford and other Presbyterians, established a fund for the support of " Protestant Dissenting interests," from, as the deed bears, " a pious disposition and concern for the interest of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the welfare of precious souls ;" that, in consequence of the deed, five meet ing -houses were erected in Dublin, and property purchased, now yielding £790 per annum ; and that, in the lapse of time, the congregations of Strand-street and Eustace-street became Unitarians, and a considerable proportion of the fund was applied t o their support. The object of the suit was to confine the fund wholly to the support of Trinitarian Presbyterianism. The Lord Chancellor, on the last day (Thursday), expressed himself decidedly in favour of the plaintiffs. He had arrived at a conclusion upon evidence, which even the Unitarian appellants, in the case of Lady Howley, now before the House of Lords, had allowed was admissible; so that, should the appeal in that case be sus, tained, it would not alter his opinion; but he deemed it ad visable not to give a formal judgment until that appeal he disposed of.—Dublin paper. THE FUNDS.—WEDNESDAY EVENING.—The slight flat ness which has prevailed in the Consol market during the last few days has led to various conjectures, and some have endeavoured to found it on the state of public opinion as to the future proceedings of the ministry. It seems, howeVer, that there is no reason to indulge in speculations to arrive at the real cause. The quantity of stock let loose upon the market, which was already well supplied, naturally had a depreciating effect, and this abundance, coupled with' the fact that a party who has connections at the west-end, and who, truly or not, has been supposed to have peculiar sources of information, has operated as a seller, will fully account for the prevailing flatness. The English stocks were little dealt in, there were a few purchases, and these maintained prices firm at the closing rates of yesterday. Consols for money left off 894; Ditto for account, 89-} buyers ; Three per Cents. Iteduced, 894 ; Three and a Half per Cents. Re duced, 994; New Three and a Half per Cents., 984; Long Annuities (expiring Jan. 5, 1860), 124 ; India Bonds, 9s, to ills. premium ; Bank Stock, 167 to 168 ;. Exchequer-bills. 16s. to 18s. premium. There was an advance iu Mexican stock to-day of about 4- per cent., which closed firm at 304 to 4 ; the other stocks were quiet. Spanish Actives were last quoted 244 to 4 ; Dutch Two and a Half per Cents., 514- to 4; Danish, 81 to 82 ; Colombian, 22 to ; Brazilian, 644 to 654; and Belgian, 1024 to 1034. THE KING OF PRUSSIA.—His Majesty attended on Tues day at the Royal Society, the Society of Antiquaries, and the British Museum. At two o'clock he was present at a grand dejeuner given by the Duke of Sussex, at the Kensington Palace. In the evening his Grace the Duke of Wellington entertained his Majesty at a magnificent banquet in the Waterloo Gallery of Apsley House. Covers were laid for about fifty, and amongst those, resent were the Dukes and Duchesses of Cambridge, Sussex, Glocester, Buceleugh, and Sutherland, Sir Robert and Lady Peel, the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord and Lady Stanley, &c. On Wednesday his Majesty received addresses at Buckingham Palace; he then lunched with his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury at Lambeth Palace, and honoured Covent-garden Theatre with his presence, and afterwards attended the banqaet given by the Duke of Cambridge, at Cambridge House. Yesterday; his Majesty attended the Queen at the opening of parliament, and partook of a farewell dinner with her Majesty at Buck ingham Palace. To-day, his Majesty, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, will proceed at an early hour to Woolwich, •where he will inspect the garrison, and witness the mortar and rocket practice by the Royal Artillery, and will embark at Woolwich the same afternoon for Ostend, on his return to his own dominions. FIRST PRESENT TO THE PRINCE OF WALES.—Mr. Thompson, a gentleman of fortune, residing near Hampstead, has presented to his royal highness a superbly decorated bed. It is said to have belonged to the late Cardinal Wolsey, and the owner refused a short time since £l5OO for it. It is of ebony. of the clearest grain, carved into figures and devices with surpassing skill. The Queen has been graciously pleased to accept it in the name of the Prince of Wales. The cele brated chair of Cardinal Wolsey is included in this magnifi cent present, and is remarkable for the beautiful pencilled drawings upon the mother of pearl, with which it i s thi c kl y adorned. Toilet tables of the most unique character, antique presses, ancient cabinets, and easy sofas and ottomans, co vered with silver brocade, add to the value of the present, and will decorate the apartment in which the bed is to be placed in the Royal Castle.. PIRACY.—The schooner Brisk, Capt. Mansfield, for whose fate considerable anxiety had been felt, arrived at Bristol on Tuesday. The Brisk had put into Falmouth harbour, while on her voyage from London; and that on the night of the 25th, while the captain was on shore on the ship's business, the mate and crew got her under weigh and sailed off with her ; and, notwithstandi ng the most diligent inquiries, nothing could be le arnt of her till her arrival here. At the sitting of the magistrates on Tuesday, the captain applied for warrants to apprehend the mate and crew, on a charge of piracy; and their worships having granted him the assis tance of a body of the police, they went on board, and cap tured the mate, John Marsh a ll, and five men, named John Gower, James Hamager, David Gravel, Michael Berry, and John Isaacs, who were straightway charged to the justice room, and placed at the bar on a charge of piratically aril feloniously running away with the vessel. After hearing the case, the magistrates directed the prisoners to be sent to Falmouth, to take their trial on a charge of piracy. DUBLIN ELECTION. —The result of the city of Dublin election proves that the strength of the Conservatives in the Irish metropolis has vastly increased ever since the last elec tion in July 1841, notwithstanding the accession to the office of the new " repeal" corporation, with the Right Hon. Daniel O'Connell at its head. At the general election last summer the number of votes at the close of the poll stood as follows, viz.:— For Mr. West (deceased) . . . 3,860 For Mr. Grogan ..... 3,839 For Mr. D. O'Connell • • • • 3,692 For Mr. It. Hutton . . . . 3,666 thereby showing a majority of only 147 votes in favour of the Conservatives. The total number of electors who voted on that occasion amounted to upwards of 7,500. At the election just closed the numbers stood thus: — For Mr. W. H. Gregory (Conservative) . 3,825 For Viscount Morpeth (Liberal) • • . 3,435 thereby giving a majority in favour of the Conservative can didate of 390 votes, being 2,13 more than the majority ob tained by Messrs. West and Grogan six 0t seven months ago. The total number of votes polled is 7,260. It should be observed that this splendid majority of Mr. Gregory has been obtained in spite of the rejection of the votes of 300 newly-made freemen, which were tendered for the Con servative candidate. *1)(1- 1 1illut 4ittelligeitti TUJ Aft a rvxn.—Virginia, Euston, from New Orleans—North Carona _ from New Orleans, left the Bar 30th December ; experienced fin... weather during the passage; 26th and 27th January was in lat 49, long 19—Venus.

There is scarcely anything moving this morning, excepting the business in the retail trade, and the prices are all nominally the same as on Monday last. The approaching announcement on the Corn question occupies universal attention, and it is thought that the market will advance rapidly should the present system of duties be substantially preserved.

The demand for Beans is very trifling, and there is no en. quiry for Peas. The frost appears at length to have left us. HULL CORN MARKET, FEB. 1. The market to-day, has been fairly supplied with farmer's Wheat the best dry samples of which were taken by the millers at fully last week's prices, any description below this quality bad to quit ; a many of the samples offering are only in middling condition, owing to the change in the weather, the frost having again dis appeared. For old foreign no demand. There is a good supply of Oats to-day, for which last week's prices are paid. In Beans or Peas no alteration In value or demand. The best runs of Malting Barley are rather dearer, and are 'not offered plentifully ; second and grinding are very dull, although low prices are submitted to. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Fan. 1. The demand for Cotton to-day has been rather good, con sidering that , it is Manchester market day; the business will be fully 3000 bales, at yesterday's full market prices, with a steady tone and feeling pervading the market. LIVERPOQL HAY AND POTATPE MARKET, February 4 A favourable change of wind for inward bound craft, has brought forward a heavy influx of Potatoes into this port since the 27th ultimo, both from the Isle of Man, Scotland and Ireland, which has checked the operations of country dealers—they, as is usually the case, only now buying to supply their pressing wants, in the expectation of being able to do so on lower terms. The retail town trade have also bought very sparingly for these two days' past. Under such circumstances many importers have unneces sarily become alarmed, and have been forcing sales, consequently prices have generally receded from Id to lid per 90/b, under the currency of this day week: Manx, Scotch and Irish Cups 2s aid to 2s 2d ; round, rough and flat Reds 2s 2(1 to 2s 6d ; Seedlings as 4d to as 7d per 90th. Our local farmers are free sellers of all descrip. Lions of produce. For Potatoes they have a good demand. Potatoes, 911 b. Pink-eye Cups Short Tops Cattle Turnips, 1) , ton Carrots s. d. s. d.

I Since this day week the receipts of Grain and Flour into this port, Coastwise and from Ireland, are small, but of Oat meal we have to note a fair supply. A moderate quantity of Wheat, with a few parcels of Barley, Beans, and Pease, com pose the only arrivals from theTuropean Continent, and from the American States nearly 14,000 barrels of Flour. The following are the quantities of Grain, Flour, and Oat meal computed to remain in Liverpool on the 31st January, 1842 :—ln bond. Wheat, 76,652 qrs. ; Barley, 10,431 qrs. ; Oats, 14,851 qrs. ; Rye, qrs. ; Beans, 18,870 qrs. ' • Pease, 6,877 qrs. ; Flour, 70,461 brls., and --- sks.—Free. Wheat, 135,000 qrs. ; Barley, 10,000 qrs. ' • Oats, 25,000 qrs. ; Rye, 1000 qrs. ; Beans, 30,000 qrs. •, Pease, 12,000 qrs. ; Flour, 75,000_br15., and 12,000 sacks; Oatmeal, 80,000 loads. . Of Wheat, from the neighbouring growers, the deliveries weekly, since haOest, have been about equal in amount with those of late years, and the quality and condition, although partly damp and inferior, have more generally proved good, the major portion of the crop around us having been secured in better order than in many other parts of the kingdom. In the absence of any information on the views of govern ment, relative to the projected change in the corn-laws, the trade is still held in suspense, and latterly, the millers and dealers, although mostly bare of stock, have been much on the reserve. At this day's market, however, a firmer feeling was evinced, and good red Baltic, with some kinds of Medi terranean Wheats, were sold to a fair extent to consumers, at an advance of ld. per 701b5.; all descriptions of English and Irish remaining unalterCd in value. Of bonded Wheat, a few parcels have been taken to hold over, Polish Odessa and Ancona at 7s, and Barletta at 7s Gd per 701bs. States and Canadian Flour, duty paid, were in moderate demand at an amendment of Gd. per barrel, but in English and Irish there was no improvement. Barley, being less plentiful, was the turn dearer ; Malt, Beans, and Pease, at the same time, remaining dull, at former prices. Fine Irish Oats were in some request, on the- terms last noted, whilst ordinary descriptions continued to be nearly without inquiry ; and Oatmeal, upon a limited sale, scarcely realised our quotations of this day se'nnight.
