WILL OF THE LATE VISCOUNT CANTERBURY.—
It was only on the 16th inst. that probate of the will of the
Late Right Hon. Charles Viscount Canterbury passed the
seal of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, and was granted ,
to his second son, the lion. John H. T. Manners Sutton, one
of the executors. His Lordship directed that on the demise
of the Viscountess, who only survived him four months, the
sum of 20,0001., the dividends of which constituted her
jointure, should be divided into four parts, his eldest daughter
taking first therefrom 1,000/., apportioning to his two sons
1,;11._.e-fourtli each, and the remainder to his youngest daughter.
!ya Lordship also appointed that the sum of 7,5001., settled
upon him for his life on his first marriage, should be equally
divided
of that on.gst his two sons and eldest daughter, the issue
r:rnage. All other property not specifically given
was to e divided into four equal parts between the Via-
countess, the two cons, and youngest daughter. The pic-

_ -
The Select Commie t..e, appointed to inquire into the ope-
ration of the nc.vii;ati, J 1 laws, met ye.:terday for the first
time. The relic wing members tempo3e.the Committee :
Sir IZ. Peel, Mr. M. Gibson, Vice-lire,ide,,t of the Beard of
Trade, Mr. Ricardo, Sir 11. Douglas.. Mr. Alderman Thomp•
son, Mr. C. P. -Villiers, Mr. Liddell, Sir =G. Clerk, Mr.
Mitchell, Admiral Duntlas, Mr. Lyall, Mr. M'Carthy, Mr. T.
Baring,. Mr. Nome, and Mr. Bright.
Mr. ..Irme moved, and Mr. RICARDO seconded?.that'Sir R.
Peel be appointed the chairman of the Committee.
Sir R. PEEL respectfully declined acting as claai, man. He
thought it would be much more advisable for the CoMmittee
to elect as their chairman Mr. M. Gibson, the Vice-Piesident
of the Board of Trade, whose position as a member of the
Government would give him a greater command over sources
of information relative to the subject matter of their inquiry
than my other member of the Committee could have. Be-
sides, supposing that their inquiries should result in a Bill
being brought before Parliament, there would be a greater
likelihood of its being carried into a law if brought under
notice of the House by a member t the Government, who
would possess greater facilities for legislation than any private
Member of the Committee could possibly have.
Mr. M. GIBBON was eventually aprinted the Chairman,
and the Hon. Member having taken the chair,
Mr. lIUMZ asked Mr. Ricardo, as the mover for the Com-
mittee, what course the latter proposed to take with reference
to the inquiries of the Committee?
Mr. RICARDO said, he proposed, in the first instance, to call
witnesses to explain to the committee clearly what the law
was at that moment, and how far, and in what manner, it
affected the maritime affairs of the country. It would be
necessary, also, that they should know what particular Acta
affected the navigation law itself, and how far that naviga-
tion law was relaxed or modified by other laws now in exist-
ence. He thought that nobody was so able to inform the
committee on these points as Mr. Lefevre, of the Board of
Trade, and he (Mr. Ricardo) proposed to call him in the
first instance. Afterwards, he proposed that they 'should
inquire into the effect of the law upon the mercantile trans-
actions of this country, and also as to its operation upon the
colonies.
A member of the Committee suggested that they should
examine persons that could give them most accurate infor-
mation or. the navigation laws of other commercial states in
the world, and particularly as to what modification they
might have undergcne since the relaxations of the restric-
tions which had taken place in those of this ceantry.
Mr. Ricaano said, he had moved for an ab:tract of the
maritime regulations of the various countries, but that re-
turn was of so voluminous a nature that it had not yet been
completed.

THE THEATRES.

DRURY LANE.--
Vincent Wallace's new opera of Matilda was produced
here, last evening, with all the success that the most en-
thusiastic friend of the gifted composer could desire, and
what is better still—the success was most deserved. The
composition of the opera bears throughout the impress
of genius, but of genius chastened, elevated, pelfection-
ated (if we may be allowed to coin a word) by study
and science. The choruses are magnificent. The last
chorus of senators, in particular, is a massive composi-
tion worthy to take its place by the side of the grand
choruses of Beethoven or of Weber. The finale is
brilliant piece of fioriture, which was most
brilliantly rendered by Miss Romer, and was rewarded
by an encore. The opera, too, is replete with melody
There is a spirited drinking song by Weiss, which wa
admirably given, and in the third act a little gem o
melody "A Lowly Youth, a Mountain Child," which
was exquisitely given by Miss Rebecca Isaacs, and
which will be the favourite drawing-room ballad of the
opera. The piece is mounted in most superb style. The
last scene, the Grand Hall of the states of Bohemia, is
a perfect marvel of effect. The success of the opera.
Wf.S deservedly most triumphant. Miss Romer, and
llarrison, (both of whom were in admirable voice) were
called for at the conclusion. Then Mr. Wallace was
called for, and then Mr. Bunn had to come forward
and bow his thanks to one of the most crowded
audiences ever assembled within the walls of Old
Drury.

LLYNVI VALLEY RAILWAY.

The usual half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this
company was held yesterday, at their offices, 35, 13t oad-street-
buildings, City; Dr. Bowring, M.P., in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said that the object of calling the meeting
was merely to obtain the sanction of the shareholders to the
several resolutions that were agreed to at the meeting of the
10th of last December, in compliance with the terms of the
Act of Parliament.

The SECILETART then read the audited account, which
stated that the deposits received amounted to 16,727/. 4s. 6d.,
the expenditure to 8,383/. 9s. Bd., and the balance in hand
to 8,343/. 14s. 101

This account was then adopted.
The former directors were re-elected, and Mr. Cumming
was elected auditor in the place of Mr. King. who had re-
signed. A resolution, confirming the resolutions of the meet-
i❑g of December last, was then agreed to unanimously.
The CHAIII'MAN said that there was no further business
to be transacted. He was happy to inform them that
some amicable arrangements had been effected with the
Dufferyn and Llinvi Companies with whom they had been
in treaty. The meeting then separated.

GREAT WESTERN and WYCOMBE

RAILWAY.

The usual half-Stub general meeting of do proprietors of
the Great Western and %Vyeembe Railway was held yes-
terday, at the offices of the company, in West Strand, -ur.
Barlow, chairman of the Board of Directors, in the chair.
The meeting was made special, for the purpose of confirming
the agreement of sale to the Great Western Railway Company.
The report stated that the line had been sold at psr. The
receipts from the commencement amounted to 9,8501. 16s.
2d., and the expenditure to 8,864/. Os. Bd., leaving a balance
of 9861. 15s. 6d.

The report was unanimously adopted, and the other formal
business of the meeting, consisting of the re-election of
directors and auditors, was gone through.
SPECIAL MEETING.

The proprietors then resolved themselves into a special
meeting.
The purchase-money was calculated at 20,0001. for this and
the Uxbridge line, and that sum was to be received in full
of all expanses and demands, and paid by instalments.
The sale was unanimously confirmed, and the meeting of
the Wycombe shareholders terminated.

GREAT WESTERN AND UXBRIDGE RAILWAY.
Similar meetings of this company were than held, and
the same figures, the same report, and the same agreement
confirmed and adopted. It was understood that 11. per
share was to be returned immediately, and the balance wh©n
the agreement for sale shall have have been confirmed by
legislative enactment. The balance might be 10s. per share,
but that could not be stated specifically.
London, England, 1847-02-24

BOW-STREET.

James TV. Goulborn, the sexton of St. George's,
Bloomsbury, was charged with having been found in the
parish church at half-past eleven o'clock at night, under
somewhat suspicious circumstances.
The Hon. and Rev. 11. Montagu Villiers, the rector,
attended to prefer the complaint, and stated that his at
tention was called to the church between eleven and
twelve the preceding night (Monday) by a parishioner
named Doubleday, who, perceiving a light in the church,
and knowing that a collection for the Irish poor had
been made on the previous Sunday, entertained a sus•
picion that some one was 13,rpetrating sacrilege. They
proceeded together to the church, calling aloud to any
person who might be the rein to come forward and deliver
himself up at once to the police, who were in attend-
ance. No response was heard, but presently they dis-
covered the sexton emerging from the aisle in his shirt-
sleeves. As the door on that side of the church was
found open, they proceeded at once to examine the com-
munion plate, which appeared all safe. The prisoner
was then asked to explain himself, when he told two
stories: the one being, that he had left his coat there,
. .

and had merely come to fetch it ; and the other, that he
was anxious to see that all was safe before retiring
rest. At all events, whatever the sexton's intentions
were, it did not appear that anything had been re-
moved.

It was mentioned, in extenuation of his offence, that
he was rather intoxicated ; and as he was a new comer,
having been highly recommended to his present employ-
trent, the lion. and Rev. Gentleman expressed no desire
to visit hiza with further punishment than his dismissal
from office.
Mr. JARDINE told him that the case was very suspi-
cious, and hoped he would profit by the leniency now
shown towards him.

WICH ARSENAL

Mr. DUNCOMBE, in moving for a copy of the evidence
taken before the Court of Inquiry, instituted in the month of
April, 1845, by the Board of Ordnance, at the Royal Arsenal,
Woolwich, to investigate charges preferred by Daniel Toner
against William Jones, depaty .torekeoper ; together with a
copy of the charges and the report thereon. Also, a copy of
the charges preferred, and the evidence given against Daniel
Toner, late a labourer in the Royal Arsenal, Wool-
wich, by Mr. Reed, a clerk in the Storekeepers de-
partment, before Lor.t Bloomfield, Colonel Bloney, and
Mr. Chatham, in 1845, with their report thereon ;
said that he was compelled by the difficulty which intervened
between the application for copies of papers from the Arsenal
of Woolwich, and the production of them, to bring themitartg;edr.
thus publicly
l before the country. Daniel Toner stated that,
in consequence of his having thus brought charges against his
hstatpderbieoernoffiadcvearns,cehde.
He be(eAnir.prDostiencucotemdb,e) would whilethose charged
hadfeel
cessary to call fur those papers, before he took another step on

the subject.
Colonel ANSON said that if his Hon. Friend, the Member
for Finsbury, bad taken the trouble to look at the report which
was furnished, and which he (Colonel Anson) requested the
Hon. Member for Finsbury to examine ; if he had looked at
the statement, the House might hare been spared the in-
fliction of these details.—( Hear, hear.) There had not,
and he would appeal to the Hon. Member for Finsbury
himself, appeared one word on the subject of convict labour.
He had no objection to give the evidence taken before the
court of inquiry in April last with respect to the charges
preferred by Toner against Jones ; but with respect to the
other evidence, given against Toner by Reed, he did not think
that the production of such voluminous evidence would tend to
any advantageous result.

Mr. HUME did not know whether the first papers were
necessary for the investigation, but, as pilfering was admitted,
he would ask, how was the public property to be protected,
unless a check was given to those practices? He slid not think
that any one who exposed this system should bo subjected to
punishment, and he hoped the House would grant the docu-
ments, and that they would be the means of having an inquiry
instituted into the mode in which the whole department was
conducted.
Mr. BOLDERO detailed the circumstances of the inter-
view he had with Toner, and was of opinion that, from the
course then pursued, no injustice had been done to him. With
regard to the subsequent proceedings, and his dismissal, he
could offer no opinion.

on Tuesday, the 14th of next month, to bring in a
Bill with respect to tenant right in Ulster and other
parts of Ireland.

_ _

On the motion of Dr. BOWRING, all such papers
as had been issued from the public departments since
the last returns relative to the quarantine laws were
or.lered to be laid upon the table of the House.
COUNTY COURTS.
On the motion of Mr. GRANGER, the following
returns relative to the County Courts were agreed tc—
" 1. The total number of plaints entered in each
Court, from the time when the Act came into operation
to the Ist of December, 1847, specifying the number of
plaints above 101.; above 5/. and not exceeding 101.;
above 1L and not exceeding 5/.; and at and under 1/.

IRELAND.
Mr. J. O'CONNELL put several questions to the
Government relative to the measures they intended to
bring forward to meet the distress of the present
winter in Ireland ; and was also desirous of knowing
when those measures would be laid on the table. He
also wished to know when the contemplated Bill for
the amendment of the law regarding landlord and
tenant in Ireland was to be introduced ?

Sir G. GREY was sorry that the Hen. Member
had not thought it right to give notice of the ques-
tions he had just asked. He had but that minute
received the list of the questions, and was, therefore,
not prepared to answer them satisfactorily. With
respect to the Tenant Right Bill, he could not pledge
himself to the precise titre when it would ba intro-
duced, but he could assure the Hon. Member the
subject was under the consideration of the Govern-
ment.

Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL would give notice of
his intention to move an amendment on that subject
on the question of the House going into a Committee
of Supply.
London, England, 1847-11-30

/ expired on the 29th ult., after a few days'; illness, the
' office was crowded by some of the most influential per-
sons residing in the neighbourhood of Hackney.
The prisoner, on being ushered into the dock, made a
slight obeisance to the Court, and displayed similar
coolness and self-possession as he had hitherto done.
Mr. Humphreys, the prisoner's solicitor, was in at-
tendance, and re-examined some of the witnesses upon
certain points of their evidence as it was read over to
them by Mr. Houlston, one of the clerks, but Mr. Hum-
phrey's method of cross-examination did not appear,
in some instances, precisely to suit the prisoner,
as he exclaimed on one or two occasions, although
cautioned by Mr. 11. not to do so, "If my solicitor
will not cross-examine the witnesses, I will."
The depositions of the various medical gentlemen
who had attended the deceased prior to and after her
death, and others, which were exceedingly voluminous
were then read, and occupied between two and three
hours.
The prisoner, who was cautioned not to say anything.
was now fully committed to take his trial at the Old
Bailey Sessions, for the Wilful Murder of his mother,
Mrs. Frances Sheridan.
