MARYLEBONE PARISH AND THE
POOL,-LAW COMMISSIONERS.

Yesterday, at a very fully.attended meeting of the direc-
tors and guardians of the poor of St. Marylebone (Mr. Malli-
lieu in the chair), a communication was received from the
Poor-law Commissioners, announcing that they had taken
the opinion of the Attorney-General and Mr. Tomlinson,
and were prepared to declare all the rules and regulations of
the directors and guardians, since August, 1834, illegal and
invalid. The case and opinion accompanied the communi-
cation, and was read by Mr. Thome, the secretary.
The case s.ot forth the various acts of the board from time
to time, which had been carried out without the approval of
the Commissioners, and then proceeds to ask—
" Whether, since August, 1834, under sections 155 and

156 of the local Act, 35th Geo. 111., c. 73, the directors and
guardians of the poor of St. Marylebone, not having sub-
mitted the rules and regulations made by them for the ap-
proval and confirmation of the Poor-law Commissioners, such
rules and regulations are valid?"
" Opinion.—We are of opinion that the rules and regula-
tions made since August, 1834, by the directors and guar-
dians of the poor of St. Marylebone, under the sections 155
and 156 of the local Act, 35th George 111., c. 73, but not
submitted to, and not approved and confirmed by the Poor-
law Commissioners, are not valid or binding, as far as they
concern the regulations and Government of the workhouse,
or as far as relates to the poor, or the officers connected
therewith, or in any way relating to the administration of
relief to the poor, within the 4th and sth Wm. IV., c. 76,

resolution to the effect that all the notice to be taken of

ment of its receipt from the Poor-law Commissioners.

The motion was carried nem. con., and the board, after
some routine business, separated.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb.l2.
THE LINCOLNSHIRE AND EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.••••
GRIEVE V. LUMSDEN.

In this case, which was not concluded at the time of going
to press with our Afternoon Edition of yesterday, the jury
returned a verdict for the defendant.

COURT OF EXCIIEQUER.—Yeb. 12.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the LORD Cyr BARON and
• Special Juries.)
In the case of Webster v .West the record was withdrawn,
and the cause did not therefore proceed to trial.

BAKER V. HAGGARD.

In this cause, Mr. Charles Baker, the secretary to the
Tours and Honfleur Railway, was the plaintiff, and Mr.
James Haggard, a member of the provisional and managing
committess of the above-named rails ay, was the defendant.
Mr. 0. Malley appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ogle for
the defendant.

The action was brought to recover of the defendant the
sum of 931. being the amount of salary due to the plaintiff
for services performed on behalf of the Tours and Houfleur
Railway, the plaintiff -alleging that be was engaged at a
salary of 3001. per annum to perform the duties of secretary
to the company.
It appeared that the present railway was one of that very
numerous class called forth in the year 1845, which were
doomed to pass their brief hour on "change," seemingly
the purpose of raising delusive hopes of visionary premiums
in the minds of the promoters, and adding a long list
of causes to the already overcrowded lists of the
courts of law and equity. In the • present case,
there being no evidence to show that the defendant had
continued to act noon the provisional or managing com-
mittee—(on the contrary, that he refused his consent to
have his name placed in that ominous list)—or that he had
ever acted upon such committee, and the books of
the company being in the possession of a Mr. Hop-
kins. a director of the company, who, in spite of
all attempts to discover his " whereabouts," was declared
to be still non est, and a number of uitnesses having been
called whose evidence bore in no degree whatever upon the
contract between the parties, the counsel for the plaintiff •
said that he was sorry to say that the next person to be
called was, he feared, the plaintiff himself.
In this opinion the Loup CHIEF BARON coincided, and the
plaintiff having been thrice summoned to come forward to
save his writ at nisi prius, and declining to do so, was non-
suited accordingly.

DESTITUTION IN THE HIGH-

LANDS AND ISLANDS OF SCOTLAND.

We understand that a meeting of noblemen and gentlemen
connected with the Highlands and Islands, assembled at 18,
Parliament-street, on Wednesday last, the 10th instant, for
the purpose of considering the expediency of applying to the
Government on some points in which the population of these
districts of the kingdom are at present deeply interested.
A deputation from this meeting, consisting of the Marquis of
Northampton, Mr. James Matheson, M.P., The 'Chisholm,
Mr. H. Baillie, M.P., Mr. Frederick Dundas, M. P., Mr.
Maclean, of Coll ; the Reverend Dr. Macleod, of Glasgow;
Mr. Hugh- Jones Cameron, and Mr. George Bain, lion.
Secretary of the Highland Society of London, waited
yesterday, by appointment, on Sir George Grey, and were
most courteously received. They submitted to Sir George the
expediency (1) of Government-aiding proprietors in the High-
lands and Islands by a loan, for the purchase of seed for the
smaller tenantry; (2) the affording aid to local relief com-
mittees in supplement of the subscriptions and collections
obtained from private sources; and (3) the desirableness
of having a depot ship or ships on the eastern coast, for the
purpose of allaying the apprehensions of the people in
the north-eastern counties of Scotland, that there will not
be a supply of food procurable throughout the spring
and summer, and the fears of which have occasioned dis-
turbances and riots along the whole of the east coast. The
deputation submitted to Sir George that such a measure as
the last would effectually, they believed, allay the fears of
the people, and be the ini,A economical, as well as, in every
view, the most humane mode of restoring peace and confi-
dence among them. -
. _

On the first point (the giving a loan for the purchase of
seed) Sir George stated, that he thought no such aid would
be required from the Government, as he understood the
central committee iu Edinburgh were directing their special
attention to it ; and, moreover, that the required
accoMmodatiou would, probably, be obtained from the
Scotch banks ; and also, that it would be very
inexpedient for the Government to hold out any expectation
of aid in this particular, as this would naturally, and very
probably, lead to improvidence on the part of the people in
the consumption of the stores they might otherwise preserve
for seed.
On the second matter (the affording of aid to local relief
committees), Sir George stated that the conduct of the Scotch
proprietors and people generally had been so exceedingly
praiseworthy, that he was very averse to giving
what might be considered an ungracious answer to
this request, but, that hitherto such aid had nut
been afforded generally, and it was hoped that
it might not be generally required. In two special
instances the Government had given some help
to local committees, and they would be pre-
pared to consider special applications from parti-
cular localities, peculiarly needing such assistance, though
every case must depend entirely on its own circumstances.
But that, as a general rule, the Government were exceed-
ingly unwilling to encourage such applications or expecta-
tions, as they much feared that the result eventually would
only be injurious to the people by tending to pauperise
them, and to lower the feelings of self dependence which now
distinguished, he was happy to say, the Northern population.
On the third point (the proposal to establish a Government
depot on the east coast ), Sir George stated, that the expor-
tation of food f.-oin that quarter clearly proved there was
no scarcity there, and, therefore, it would be inconsistent
with the rules of the Government, and the motives which
led to the establishment of depots on the west coast, to
send a ship to the east. It was urged in reply, that
although wheat, and cattle, and live sock were exported
from the east coast, these do not coAstitute the food of the
poorer classes. Sir. George, however, would not hold out
any expectation that any depot would be established by
the Government on the east coast.

MR. COCHRANE and the ELECTORS

OF WESTMINSTER.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

- _
Stu,—As an elector of Westminster allow me to ask,
whether the Mr. Charles Cochrane, who now so ostenta
tiously parades his pretensions to represent Westminster,
is the same person as one Senor Juan de Ve.la, who some
few years back published a journal of a tour through Great
Britain and Ireland, and who then paraded a series of adven-
tures in various towns and places at which modesty and de-
cency felt ashamed, and whose public avowal signallyproved
the want of good taste and common propriety in the writer.
If they be one and the same person, the electors of West-

THE AUTHOR OF "Sus Ari florrxy."--Mr.Colburn
has just added another name to his list of distinguished
female novelists, in the person of Mrs. Crowe, of Edinburgh.
In her new production, entitled" The story of Lilly Dawson,"
we understand she has endeavoured to develop the events of
her story from the characters of the agents, rather than frem
external accidents, and to give the history of minds as well
as of adventures. Her book will doubtless be looked for with
much interest. The Eraminer has compared this author's
writings to those of Defoe, and characterised them as " a
great relief from the common-place, colourless novels of
the day."

`--DEATH OF THE DUKE OF
NORTIITJAWERLAND, - —I,
In the pecraae rf Feeslend there ere twenty Dukee, their
order ofrpreeeeieney being, of ceurse,- -regtiedeti by the d.:tes
of their respective patents, and witldn four of the bottom of
that distinguished list stands the representative of the ancient
house of Percy, taking rank immediately before the Duke of
, Wellington. But though the deceased Peer did not stand
high in the roll of his order, fortune bestowed upon him per.
haps as long a rent-roll, and estates more ample and less en-
cumbered, than belonged to any member of the English arise
tocracy. The deceased Peer was one of two twins; he never
possessed a robust constitution, and he did not attain a vel.-
advanced period of life. His Grace was born on the 17th of
April, 1785, and at the time of his death had, therefore, rot
completed his sixty-second year. At a very early age the
Duke, then bearing the courtesy-title of Earl Percy, went
to St. John's College, Cambridge, where he took the de-
gree of A.M. in 1805, and that of LL.D. in 1809. Every
reader will be prepared to learn that a man of his
rank obtained a seat in the House of Commons imme-
diately on his attaining sufficient age to qualify hint
for that trust. Buckingham was the first place which had
the honour of being represented by the future Duke of
Northumberland. As a politician he enjoyed all the merits
of undeviating consistency; he began life as a Tort' and a
supporter of the Protestant constitution, and every vote and
wish of his was to maintain the settled constitution of these
realms as it existed when his own political career commenced ;
he was, however, by no means indifferent to social ameliorations ;
the poor on his own estates were carefully provided for, and
his sympathies with suffering humanity even extended t`o the
African negro ; for we find that his maiden speech, delivered
in the House of Commons on the 2d of February, 1806, was
that of an earnest advocate for the abolition of the slave trade.
The death of Mr. Fox took place very soon after the late Duke
entered the House oiCommons,and that much lamente-d event
created a vacancy in the representation of Westininster,
which Lord Percy was elected to fill. As member for that
most important city he continued to sit only till the'next
general election. To the surprise of the quidnuncs, be did
not again present himself to the constituency of Westmihster,
but came in for the borough of Launceston, where his faintly
interest commanded a predominating influence. In 1807 he
was returned without any contest for the county of-Nor-
thumberland, and continued to be its representative until
very near the close of the Perceval Administration. It was
on the 17th of March, 1812, five years before the death of
his father, that Lord Percy was summoned by writ to the
Upper House. The records of the representative branch of
the Legislature present no striking evidences of his industry
as a politician or his talents as a statesman. Ife was a man
whose intellect and attainments procured for -him a very
moderate degree of respect, and nothing could be more ob-
vious than that if lie had not been "born great" he was not
very likely to have " achieved greatness." When the sub-
ject of this memoir was a young man the dread of foreign
invasion led to a very extensive armament of yeomanry
and volunteers. The force which bore the desig-
nation of the Percy tenantry deserved to be called
almost au army. It comprehended a body of horse
artillery, six troops of cavalry, and seventeen compa-
nies of infautry, which were clothed, appointed, and main-
tained at the expense of the second Duke. The command
of this force was entrusted to the then Lord Percy. That
he was popular with that corps will readily be supposed, and
there is nothing very extraordinary in the fact, that on his
elevation to the House of Peers, the regiment of the Percy
tenantry presented him with a superb sword. From the time
that he took his seat in the House of Peers till his marriage,
little remains to be related respecting the sayings or doings
of Hugh Earl Percy. When he had reached the thirty -second
year of his age he ceased to be a bachelor. The Lady qi, or-
lotte Florentia Clive, second daughter of Edward, ti; st E.
Powis, was the lady destined to be become the pa, Inter ,c'
his life. Their union took place on the 20th of April, rel 7,
her Ladyship being then in. the thirtieth year of her 'a> e.
Having at all times enjoyed the reputation of great 12:3- 1
sense, much amiability, and many accomplisline;seits.
she was, at the proper time, appointed governese
to the Queen, which office she held until 1,,
Majesty reached that ' period of life which rsielei eel
such services superfluous. Although Lady Charlotte
Clive, in due time Duchess of Northumberland, . w'as
well born and well dowered, yet there can be no doubt that
for any lady in this land an alliance with the Lord of Aln-
wick Castle would be a signal advancement in life, for no
man enjoyed higher titles, more superb residences, or finer
estates. -Ile was to be Duke and Earl of Northumberland,
Earl and Baron Percy, Baron Lucy, Poynings, Fitz:myae,
Bryan, Latimer, and Warkworth. He was to be the owner
of Alnwick, Warkworth, and Keilder Castles, in the county
of Northumberland, of Werrington Park, in Cornwall, and of
Sion House, in Middlesex. He was, through his maternal
descent, the representative of the old Earls of Northumber-
land—of that Manfred, the Dane, who made irruptions into
France in the ninth century, and whose posterity, settling in
Normandy, took their name from the domain of Percy,
in that province. William de Percy, with his brether
Serle, accompanied William the Conqueror to Eng-
land, and obtained from that monarch a grant
of 86 manors in Northumberland, and 32 in Lincolnshire,
and of course became a baron. The ninth in succession front
him was created Lord Percy of Alnwick, and the fourth
Lord Percy was, at the coronation of Richard IL, advanced
to the Earldom of Northumberland, with a barony in fee
transmissible to heirs female as well as male. Th,e eleventh
Earl of Northumberland died without male issue in 1670; he
had an only daughter, who became his sole heiress, and she
succeeded to the baronial honours only. The sixth Duke of
Somerset became her husband, and their son, the seventh
Duke of Somerset, having been summoned to Parliament as
Baron Percy, was created Earl of Northumberland, with
remainder, in case he had no male issue, to his son-in-law,
Sir Hugh Smithson, Bart., who had married his Grace's
daughter, the Lady Elizabeth Seymour, and who in duo
course succeeded to the Earldom on the demise of the Duke
in 1750, obtaining in the same year an Act of Parliament to
allow himself and his Countess to assume the arms and
name of Percy. His Lordship was created Duke of
Northumberland on the 22d of October, 1766. The
Smithsons are an old Yorkshire family, the first baronet of
the line receiving his title on the 2d of August, 1660. ilugh,
the second Duke, eldest son of the first, married a sister of
the Earl of Bute, by whom he had no family, and from
whom he was divorced. • Secondly, he espoused Frances
Julia, third daughter of Peter Burrell, Esq., of Beckenham,
in the county of Kent. These were the parents of the Noble
Duke whose life and character now engage our attention.
His twin sister was the Lady Agnes Percy, who married
Colonel Buller, of Penlynt, in Cornwall. On the 10th of
July, 1817, the second Duke of the Smithson line paid the
debt of nature, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. The
Noble Peer just deceased immediately succeeded to the
honours and estates, which he lived to enjoy during the long
period of thirty years. Of the House of Lords he was by no
means a distinguished member. He usually voted or gave
his proxy to the leader of the Tories for the time being; but
he scarcely ever took any part in the business or delibera-
tions of Parliament.
In the year 1825 Charles X. of France was crowned with
all the splendour and gaiety which mark every public cere-
monial in that country. Upon this memorable occasion the
Duke of Northumberland was appointed to represent the
Majesty of England. The expenses of that "embassy extra-
ordinary" where wholly defrayed from the Duke's private
purse; yet his superb equipages, and the magnificent array
of his attendants quite outshone the splendour displayed by
the-Ministers of the Czar, or even by the representatives of
the Imperial Crown of Austria. Bat it is said that our Duke
could not utter a word of French, :te the great horror of the
Parisians, who scarcely believed that a man possessed, any
knowledge whatever who had neglected to cultivate their
own polished dialect. Neither could they be taught, to
imagine that any subject of the British Crown passes tele
ficient wealth to render the expenses of such an emba-ky a
matter of trifling consideration. The amount of his tlielce'e
disbursements on this occasion may be estimated fTsee
the fact that Parliament voted a sum of 10,000/. to pur-
chase a diamond-hilted sword as a present to his Greee, i i
order to mark their high sense of the manner in weieh
he had maintained the dignity of his Sovereign' at
the French Court. In the year 1829 the Duke of
Northumberland was selected by the Duke of Yelling-
ton to succeed the Marquis of Anglesey in the office of
Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland ; the Duke, of course, gave his
entire sanction to the Orange party, and was, therefore,
viewed with aversion by the Roman Catholics, but he pos-
sessed neither the talent nor the energy to make himself
thoroughle bated, and so he continued in a quiet sort of way
to administer the government of Ireland until Lord Grey
became First Minister, when the Noble Marquis whom he
had succeeded iu turn replaced him. Although the Govern-
ment allowance to his Grace while Viceroy of Ireland was
reduced by 7,000/. a year, yet the splendour of the Viceregal
Court was rather increased than diminished during his ad-
ministration.
His Grace had for some time before his death been labour-
ing under the effects of influenza, but no apprehension was
entertained by his friends that the malady would terminate
fatally. On Thursday morning, however, one of his suet,-
dents entered his sleeping apartment at the usual hour, and,
receiving no answer to his inquiries, became alarmed and
called in others of the domestics, when it was discovered that
the Duke was dead. His Grace is succeeded in his title and
estates by Lord Prudhoe, who is next brother to the de-
ceased Duke, and who, until the year 1816, was known by
the title of Lord Algert.on Percy.—Times.

PRICE OF BREAD AND FLOUR.
During the present high price of all descriptions of provi-
sions it is important to ascertain whether the whole of the
price paid for broad. is justly due to the enhanced value of
grain. For this purpose the following comparisons have been
made with the prices in Paris. in which place, as well
known, the price of bread is fixed by I.iw, according to a
scale varying with the value of flour :—The highest price of
white wheat in Paris is 56f. per 1 hectolitre, which is (Anal
to 85s. 6d. per quarter; and the highest price of wheat of
the first quality in London being 80s. per quarter, it follows
that fine wheat is 6i per cent. dearer in Parrs than in L: radon.
The highest price of flour of the first quality in Paris is
62f. 45c. per 100 kilogrammes, which is equivalent to G'R. 6d.
nearly per sack of 2801 b. English weight; and the highest-
price of town-made flour in London being 655. per sack, it
follows that flour is 4 per cent. dearer in Lon.ion than
Paris. The price fixed in Paris for bread of the first quapt:;
is 51c. per kilogramme, which is equal to B%dn. p
41b. weight English; and the price of bread. it
