VISIT OF PRINCE ALBERT TO WINCHESTER.

No formal visit to this ancient city has been made by
any member of the royal family till the prosent occasion. His
Royal Highness bad intimated his intention of visiting the
cathedral and college, and due preparation was made for his
reception. A triumphal arch was erected near the site of the
ancient north gate of the city. This arch (under which the
royal cortege wu to pas.) was 40 feet in height, and con-
s sled of a grand central and two lateral arches, embracing
the whole breadth of the road, about 50 feet. Over the
central arch, on the west side, the city arms were emblazoned
end surmounted by an inecriutioe, " Welcome, Prince Al-
bert," above which floated the royal standard. Over the lateral
arches were devicra in flowers represen'ing the .. Prince e f
Wales's plume," under which was the inscription " I servo."
The eastern side of the gateway corresponded with the
western, with the exception that the royal arms supplied
these ief the city, lad that the inscription was " God save
the Queen." Nearly terry I ouse in the lice of way, from
the railway to the cathedral, wee decorated with flags,
branches, and flowers, whilst at different points streamers
floated acmes the streets.
His royal highness arrive I at the railway station in the
state carriage from Giisport, and was received with the
utmost enthusiasm by a very large and respectable 'seem-
blage.
An address from the virprntion was read to the Prince
by the recorder, Mr. Stock, of the western circuit. To this
adders. his Royal Highnesa returned the following answer:
"I thank son very sincerely for the address which you

FitoiouT bloNaY.—The parliamentary return called
for by Capt. Pechell, "of the amount of freight money
paid in lath year since July, 1819, to the admirals and com-
moderes of the several stations, and to tho capiains and
adorn commanding her majesty's ships and vessel", for the
conveyance of public and private treasure, with the total
amount received during Ihe same period by Greenwic.a
Hospital," hes been published. It is dated respectively,
Greenwich Hospital, 6th June, and signed be the secretary,
Mr. J. A. Lethheidge_, and the Admiralty, 26th June, and
signed "J. H. Hay. Chief clerk." The total amount re-
ceived by Greenwich Hoepitel for the 30 years, is 347,4631 ;
the largest sum was in 1828, when 28,9661. was received ;
the lowest amount for one year was received in 1820—it was
6911. The average per annum for the 30 years is 11,5891.
The Greenwich Hospital authori instate that "there are no
accounts kept in Greenwich Hospital to show the sums peal
to the admirals,. commodore', captains., and officers com-
manding her majesty's vessels ;" but the chief clerk of the
Admiralty says—" As Greenwich Hospital receives one.
fourth of all fn ight moneys, the cum received by naval al-
one will amount t ) 1,042,9901." Now as the commandi
in-chief's proportion is one-fourth of the whole, it will be
seen that 347,6631., or 11,589/. per annum, has been paid
over to him, which will leave 695,3281. for the captains and
commanders, or 23,1771. per annum, the entire per-centsge
from freights, for the last 30 years, having amounted to
1,390,6531. Bs. 43., or 46,355/. per annum. We have not
the slightest idea as to what use Captain Pechell is about to
make of this return. If he have some grand *enema to pro-
pound by which the nHirers and seamen shall participate
with the captains and admirals in the emoluments derivable
(rem the conveyance of freight he will elf* ct some good, and
will most probably avoid the recurrence of such unpleasant-
ness as occurred between Sir Charles Nanier, when he com-
manded the Gelatin, ia the West Indies, and the 1 ite Ad-
miral Fleming, with reference to the freight that Captain
Smith should nave broulht home, &c., and also with other
officers.

theektiso.
A SHAREHOLDER had no doubt that tbe committee
bad discharged their duty to the best of their ability ; still
he neretted that the report had come before the meeting
in is Imperfect a state. He thought it would have been
better if the committee had stated that they were not pre.
pared to come before the shareholders at present, and pre-
pared a fuller and more eau naive report, which wou'd have
given them information net p..ints which at present were
merely hinted at, and which left the shareholders in the
dark. (Hear, )He whiled to know of what the
70 0001. or 80,0001. consisted of, which was referred to in the
rep .rt sea deficiency ?
Mr. SWANN said that 1..1,0001. of that sum was the ha-
lane. of bills owing to tiadesmen. Then there were
25,0001. for sundries, and nun sundries consisted of irregu-
lar entries. (Laughter and :aeration.) There was a further
sum of 8,0001. which war under the head of stations. That was
an account which had been credited wrongfully to revenue,
and was completely fictitious. Then there was 7,0001. credited
in the same way to the premien' suspense account, and
cured over from one halt-yeu to another; in fact, there
WO no such curs. There way►
also 13,0001. for goodP, which he
thou Jot was carried over to the 31st of December last, when
the account was made up br Mr Peter Clarke. As far as he
(Mr. Swann) recollected Mr. Hudson had stated to Mr.
Clerks that he must have the sum made up. (A voice,
" Caked.") The amount did not come to as much as Mr.
Hudson expected—it wee mly 94,0001. or 9d,0001., and he
wanted 100,000.: so Mr. Clarke had to make it up. There
was likewise a sum of 9,0001. for bad debts. The
committee bad not the sighted idea of screening the
directors. On the contrary, all the evidence went to
show this, that the directors had added these figurea
tor the purpose of correcting these returns. As to
the making up of the accounts, Mr. Hudson appeared to be
the chief manager rf the whole matter; the other directors
anpeared to know nothir g. ( k voice: "Cyphen," and
hi ) The committee thought the directors had dome
right is adding the figures o the train returns, but when
they came to the half-yearly accounts, none of the directors,
except Mr. Hudson, appeased to know anything about the
mek rte of them ur. (Shame. shame.)
A SHAREHOLDER congratulated the meeting en the
presence moor g them of Mr. Crawsbay, who, it had bees
reported, would not be present. He supposed this waa
part of the atrocious system of false reports which had been
in circulation for a leogth rrf time. He went into a review
of the 'item, of this company's line of railway, and of the
capital expended upon it, and argued that, after all, the
posiritie of the company was not so bad as some of them
had been inclined to imagine. They had paid 10 per mut.]
fur seven or eight years, and he should not be eseprised to
see the dividend up at that again.
Mr. ALLIS. of Oabeldwlek, raid they had been informal
at the last meeting by their present chairman, on tt 'authority
of O. Hudson that the amounts up to the 31st December hem
had been correctly stated. They were now informed I
by the committee that then accounts were not cornet.
S.finethiug had been said about the an-English manner el
treating a fallen man, and to that sentiment nobody costs
respond more heartily than he did; but he felt that they bed
now a pubic daty to perform to public morality, and sot to
a private individual. He had not communicated with any
one upon this subject, but he had prepared a motizn whim
he now begged to move. It was to the effect that the above
feet having been discovered, the meeting could not separate'
withe.nt hel dog up to the reprobation of all honest men the
conduct of Mr. Hudson in this matter.
Mr. RAMSEY seconded the motion.
The CHAIRMAN reirerated what he had stated at the
last meeting, and appealed to Mr. Wm. Richardson, who
heard the eonverration.
Mr. WM. RICHARDSON recollected Mr. Hudson em-
phatically eayinv that the dividends which had been divided
had been earned, and it might be as Mr. Crawshay had said
about the other marry respecting the accounts, but on that
pohn he was not very clear.
Several shareholders i :premed themselves o2prird to the
posting of such a resolution, at all events at the pre-
sent meetino, to do which some of them seemed to think it
would be kicking a fallen man. Besides this they objected
to the wording of the resolution, which they thought too
seven.
Mr. RAMSEY thought it was not severe enough. The
sharehol fan had been too mealy-mouthed before ; a greater
impostor was never produced in this world, and he was not
ashamed of saying to.
• conversation mimed as to whether it was competent to
have this resolution put, and eventually, at the request of
several of the shareholders, and also of come of the
directors and committee of investigation, Mr. Allis consented
to withdraw his option, and the resolution for the reception
and approval or the report, with the exception of the words
alluded to by the chairman of the committee as constituting
an inset/tram, was carted unanimously.
A SHAREHOLDER ir golf. d if this company would be
comp lied to pay 10 per ceut. in perpetuity to the Hull and
Selby Company.
The CHAIRMAN said the whole question was in doubt,
hut he might state this, teat he believed the Hull and Selby
Company had no power to draw a lease, except urn the
York and North Midland and the Yorkshire and Lancashire
Companies jointly (Cheer.) A lease could not be tendered
to the York and North Midland in any other shape; and,
as to the porches**, that was optional at any time alter the
lease was tucked.
Votes of tnanks were given to the chairman of the meet-
ing and the committee of investigation, and the meeting
then separated.

MUSIC.
HER MAJES Y'S THEATRE
Last night Madame Sontag appeared in the cha.
meter in which she originally made her debut in this
country one and twenty years ego—Rusitsa, in the
" Barbiere di Siviglia." Her performance was most
captivating ; and her reception by a crowded audience
was enthn-tantic in the extreme. In her tich and be-
coming Andalusian costume she looked exceedingly
handsome, and even your ger than in her
former part, cf Linda. We have never, we
think, seta the character of Rogina so happily
representet!. It was a delightful picture of a spirited,
quick-witted girl, noire and simple, like one bred in
seclueion, bat Avowing in every look and gesture the
native grace and delicacy of a lady. It was, in short,
a highly intellevtual performance, embodying, better
than we have ever seen it dine, the original idea of
the character as given in the comedy of Beaumar-
chais. Iler singing was ex visite. We have al-
ready attempted to describe the qualities of her vocal
organ, and were now more struck than ever
with its various perfections; its sweetner,
its delicious roundness of tone, and that
mated ea fli xibility which enables her to rival the
finest instrument in cle and rapid articulation. In
singing the fnmlus " Una Toe* pcco ti," she clothed
the air with a tisane of t mbro deny of the moat deli-
cate texture, so light and tr,nsperent as to give new
grace and beauty to the simple forms of the melodT,
without tither concealing or distorting them, an florid
ornaments too often do. The duet with Figaro,
" Duque io 'nu," was bew,tchiagly comic ; Ro-
mina's demure surprise at ITgaro's request to have
"due righe di biglietto," while she had the billet
ready written, and hor half shame-faced, half-
playful " Eceolo qua," were irresistible. By way
of the singing-lesson, she gave Rode's air with the
variations, txsenti-g the violin passages as few vio-
linists could play them. She accomphshed this feat
of vocal agility better, probably, then anybody since
Wallah but she was far behind that unapproachable
mistress it bravura. Sootsg finds it necessary to
exectre 'he rapid divisions of the last variation quite
in au w d none; but Caryl& .1 rolled them out with a
force ant volume of sound that made the theatre
ring again. This union of rapidity with tone
was a thing which no singer we have ever
heard, save Catalani, has been able to pro-
duce. Still, however, these variations were
executed with astonishing clearness and beauty, and
the last of them had a double encore. The fair prima
donna wan called fur at the end of the first act, and
at the conclusion of the opera, and received what some
of our contemporaries call the usual " ovation."
The opera, is the other parts, wu cut as formerly,
sad was performed with great spirit. Lablache was
is his richest vein, and was so snarls= in his humour
that even Rosins, in the midst of her perplexities,
more. than once fund it impossible to preserve her
gravity. Gardoni, as the Mune, acted with very great
spirit, and sang beautifully.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, 3yLT 12.

There is great anxiety shunt the great Orange
anziverssry, and some apprehensions are entertained
that it will not pass away in the north without blued-
shtd. Government has made careul preparations for
the preservation of the peace. Some of the Orange
zealots are very angry with the Bishop of Down for
having forbidden his clergy from joining in patty pro-

cessions.
More last words about the state prisoners! The
Freeman of this morning publishes an address from
Smith O'Brien and I is companions to their country-
men of all parties. It is couched in very ambiguous
language, and is more moderate than might be ex-
pected. It thaeks all those of various parties who
have taken an interest in their case, and expresses
the often uttered hope that Irishmen would give up
dissension, and live to peace with each other.
We print it textually :
Fellow Countrymen—lf your efforts to procure a mitiga-
tion of the penalties to which we are about to be subjected
had been as successful as you desired, we could not have
offered you more sincere and grateful aesnowledements than
theme welch we now tender, for the sympathy sad solicitude
which you have displayed in our behalf.
At this moment, whilst we are bidding oar last sad fare-
well to our native land, the reflection that our tallow coun-
trymen have not witnessed with indifference our removal
from amongst the no is a sweet source of consolation; sad, be
'nand, that this remembrance will hereafter be a soothing
alleviation to whatever sufferings it may be our lot to en-

IN RE WATILINB.-11•BRAE CORPUS TO BRING BEFORE
ERB COURT AN ALLEGED LUNATIC CONFINED IN D.
CosrELLo's ASYLUM.
This was an application ex parte for • writ of habeas
corpus, in order that a person, named John Watkins, for-
merly a ii.husonger, and now confined in a lunatic asylum
at 13rentlord, called Wyke-house, kept by • Dr. Curello,
might be brought befits the court.
Mr. Cooper, in support of the application, read affidavits
made by Mr. Donellan, • film-neer, who had been ac
(painted with Mr. Watkins fur 20 years by Dr. Mason, a
physician; and by • Mr. Page, who had also been acquainted
with the supposed lunatic. In these affidavits it was alleged
that Mr. Watkins had always been, and still war, of sound
mind ; that he had bi en confined in the asylum by means of
a certificate obtained by his wife, who dec!ared that she con-
sidered her lite in danger from the conduct of her husband.
It appeared that much difficulty had been experienced in
ascertaining where Mr. Watkins was confined; but that.,
upon an interview being obtained by the gentlemen who had
made the affidavits, it was discovered that he was perfectly
saue, but that he was very greatly excited from having le
sleep in a room with thirteen or fourteen lunatics. It was
alleged that Dr. Costello and ►is brother had admitted that
Mr. Watkins vt.e not insane, and that there was no just
ground for his detention. It was stated that by the recent
act, appointing the Lunatic Commissioners, the right of
bringing lunatics before the court by habeas corpus was not
touctred, and it was, therefore, asked that the court would
appoint a day for the return of the writ.
The Vice Chancellor acceded to the application, and ap-
pointed Wednesday next for Mr. Watkins to be brought up.

MANSLAOUHTELt.

Mark Goffrras indicted for the manslaughter of James
Madden. Mr. Sewell conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Ed-
ward, defended the prisoner.
It appealed by the evidence that the deceased had leen
drinking in a public-house in Southampton, with his son and
some friend,. He left the house Fisher, and was walking
across the road, when the prisoner put his foot before
and tripped him up. H., fell violewly un his hands and
face. On being taken up he was found to be nearly insen-
sible. He was removed to his house, but never rallied, and
died about a week after. On a posf-nsortem examination of
•he deceased it wee found that the death was caused by the
rupture of a vessel on the brain, which produced effusion of
blood, and death by the pre,,ure on the brain. Fur the de-
fence it was contended that the death of the unfortunce man
was the result of accident, and was not caused by the inten-
tional act of the prisoner
Mr. Justice Williams having summed up, the jury ac-
quitted the prisoner.

TURNER V. MAULS.—NLIT OF Km.
It may lee rensbered that en this case come p-nons in hum-
ble life, in Suffolk, established their relationship to a Mr.
Tuner, who died having upwards of 50,0001., and had been
declared entitled to have that *um paid teem by Mr. Maule,
the solicitor of the Treasury, who,en MAW' of the crown had
token out administration to the d erased, it being supposed
that he had left to next of kin. The cause now came on lee
further no. and it appeared that Mr. Maule bad sold
out a portion nf the stock standing in the name of the de-
' ceasedoutd had paid the proceeds, amounting to 39,2071.94.21.,
into the Treasury.
Mr. Wigram and Mr. Freeling, for the plaintiffs, con-
tended that Mr. M uie ought to pay interest upon this
amount to the plaintiffs it !tie four years which had deemed
since it was sold cut.
Mr. Wray, for Mr. Maule, ohjected to this, and submitted
that, as no claimant had appeared. it was the proper course
to pay over the money to tne government, to be applied to
public purposes; and that, as no interest had keen realised
npon it, the government ought not to pay any.
The Viee•Chanceller said this was one of the most re-
markable genealogical cases that ever came before a court of
justice, and he was not surprhed at the verdict fr.otis
what he bad seen of th • case. The deceased had stock tend-
leg in his name, and the administrator, without any neces•
city arising in the course of administering the (state, sold out
a portion of it, and then, without any judicial authority or
investigation, paid over the proceed• to a party who turned
out not to be entitled to it. Of course this was done with
the best intention, ; but, however correct might have been
the views or judgment of the administrator, those who were
really entitled to the fund ought not to suffer by the proceed-
ing. Mr. Mettle must pay interest at 4 per cent. on the
proceeds of the amount sold out, from the time of the sale.
Toe public would no doubt take care to reimburse him, and
he would be allowed nut of the fund his costs, as between
solicitor and client. H's Honour said he hoped the next ot
kin had not already anticipated their fortune.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—YORK, JULY 12.
At noon Mr. Justice Wightman commenced the business
of the county assizes. The grand jury were charged, and his
lordship at oi co proceeded to try prisoners.
THE SHEFFIELD OHINDREfe UNION.
J. Dowry (51), J. Marsden (34), 7'. Bullar (46), and
W. halt (39), were placed at the her on the charge of
having incited pemns to destroy mactinery at S.:. Mal.
' The prisoners were tried for a similar effsnce at the Spring
',sic s of 1848, and were sentenced to he transported for ten
years by Mr. Baron noire. That judgment was subsequently
quashed, inasmuch as that the offence of which they had
been convicted was punishable with on( seven years' trans-
portation. The prisoners however were detained en other bills
which had been found against them, and on being erraigifeel
at the last aisles' before Mr. Justice Coleridge, they pleaded
autre foie convict. The Crown demurred to that:ples, and
alter argument his lordship deferred judgment, that he
might consult the bench of judges. Tnis day Mr. Justice
Wighiman said he had been commissioned by his brother
Coleridge to deliver judgment in favour of :he Crown, but
with leave to withdraw that plea, and to put in the gram'
plea of not guilty. The prisoners were then removed.

THI POLICS COUBTS
MANSION-HOUSE.
CHARGE OF FOILOSILY.— Isr. speak wse brought up in
the custody of Daniel Forrister, charged with baying com-
mitted forgery.
Mr. Junes B. Cavalier, clerk to Melees. Barclay and Co.,
said : Shortly after 9 o'clock this morning the prism t r came
to the backieg-house, and presented a paper, which proved
to be a copy of a bill for 981. 10s, purporting to be accepted
by Messrs. Davie, who did not kegs an account with the
hour. I reels. sted the prisoner to let me know who Mmes.
Davis were, tied ho said they were shoemakers, in G. are.
church-street. I said " But they do not keep an account with
us." Ile rejlied " No, but I went to pay the bill." He then
offered to me what appeared to be bank-Dotes, but which I
refused to take. My suspicion wee excited by the circum-
stances, and I told him that he heel better call between 12
and 1 o'clock, and I could then give him a more
positive answer upon the subject. At a quarter
past ten he called again, end I introduced him
to Mr. Barclay, and he then offered to pay the bill. In
the interval between his visits, the bill itself had teen pre-
sented from the clearing-house. l he prisoner was detained
ar.d given into the custody of the °hue. r.
Mr. James Davis, jun., said, I carry on business with my
father, in Gracechurch.street. The ecceptatice to the bill
produced is not in my handwritirg, neither is it in the hand-
writing of my lather, nor did either of us authot ise any rue
to accept it on our behalf. I have not the sliehtest know-
ledge of the prisoner, nor of any one of the names on
the bill.
The prisoner did not attempt to give any account of the
tram= ion, which is supposed to be part of an extensive
system. In the prisoner's possea•ien was found the sum of
101 f. 16e. He was remanded for further examination, on
which occasion it is expected several cues of the kind will
be brought forward egtinet him.
BOW•STREET.
itOBEIRT BY A MEDICAL S rUDENT.—YeItErdAy,
Ashe La,ron, a student of King's Co.lege, in the Strand, was
brought up for fuel examination, charged with stealing ten
sovereigns trim the dreteing-csc cf a fellow-student. Mr.
Clarkson attended for the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantine
for the defence.
The evidence, which baa already been published, having
been repeated,
Mr. Charles Henke, of No 9, Ormrnd.street, a silk mer-
chant, said, that, as a friend of the prisoner's family, he had
refunded the entire amount, in the hope of preventirg a
calamity befalling his relatives, who were of great re-
spectability.
In answer to Mr. Ballantine, the witness said that he had
taken such a step without the knowledge or sanction of the
risme', in order to stop, if possible, further proceedings.
The witnesses being bound over, Mr. Ballantine made an
argent appeal to his worship to admit the prisoner to b.A.
Mr. Hall said he had already weighed the matter over in
his mind, and had come to the conclusion that he ought not
to accede to such an application, which, however, might be
made by the prisoner's family to •judge in chambers if they
thought proper.
The prisoner was then fully committed to Newgate for

dure.
Knowing that we address many who do not concur with
us in political opinions, we do n.-C reel ourselves at liberty to
offer any observations upon the policy by which this country
is governed—upon the policy which gave occasion to our
reitence to British power—upon the policy which now con-
signs us to exile. We are compelled to repress even the
vomitus wt ich we feel in reflecting upon the awful condition
in which we leave the land that we have deeply loved ; nor
is this a fitting oceasbn to point out the means by which its
ditesters may be repaired ; but we cannot refrain front the
expression of a hope, that you will not demoir et your coun-
try; and we may be permitted to oder to our tellow-coun-
trymen a parting exhortation, that they will lay aside those
unhappy dissensions which have so lone paralysed the in-
trinsic strength of the Irish nation, and hencefirth learn to
love and coed le in each other. We feel that it is not neces-
sary to say anything to you in vindication of our motives.
Even those who moat condemn our connuct know that we
have not been animred by considerations of a personal
nature in hazarding all that was dear to us for the sake of our
native land; but we owe it to our feelings to declare that,
whatever may be the sacrifices we incur by devotion to its
interests, our latest espiret.on will be a pray. r for the
prosperity, the honour, and the de pen B. Odence at Ireland.
