CAMBRIDGE AND OXFORD.

The returns of this scheme required by the resolutions of Mr.
Duncornbe having been put in,

Mr. Sergeant CLARKS opened the case on behalf of the promoters.
He said that the present was not one of these airy schemes that
sprang up at a period when all England was filled with
railway projects. It was projected in January last,
and at its head were the most respectable names, which
would be a sufficient guarantee for its importance.
There were one hundred provisional directors, who, with the excep-
tion of six, were all locally interested in the land through which the
line would pass. Indeed the annals of Parliament did not afford record
of a Bill that came before a Committee under more favoura-
ble circumstances. Coming to Me local advantages that
the railway would afford, they would perceive they were
of the highest order. It would afford a communication with
the eastern and western parts of the country, and yield increased
facility for the transport of troops. It would also have the effect of
reducing the high price of coals in the district, and thereby enable
the inhabitants to com:oete with other places in the malting trade.
The counties through which this railway passed grazed a great num-
ber of cattle, and it was well known that it was most important for
a grazing country to have a railway passing through the district.
These were the general advantages of the line, which the evidence
would establish.

by the broker of the Court, and had charged
851. for his, trouble, which the assignees considered quite suf-
ficient, and that the broker's copy was not of the slightest
whotha t the
practical use, and the charge was actually for mere copying.
Mr. LAWRENCE said the brokers of the Court were not
competent in such cases as these, and Mr. Oliver had rot
charged for making the inventory, but only fur commission
on the sale.
A long discussion ensued, as the subject has frequently
been raised before the Commissioners, and their opinions are
contictory on the point; in one case a serious robbery oc-
curred, and was with difficulty discovered, through so many
persons being engaged.
The ComusinoxEn said that it was very little use sending
down a mpsenger unless an inventory was taken, and a broker
was appointed to each Court for the purpose, but if he did
not do the work, of course he was not entitled to charge for
it. The costs in this case, however, had been allowed by
the taxing master, who perhaps was not aware of the ob •
jection of the assignees, and he should again refer it back
to him. —The certificate was granted.

INSOLVENU Y.-(THIS DAY).
(Before the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.)
IN RE HENRY BENNET.
This insolvent stood opposed by Mr. Nichols, and was
supported by Mr. Cooke.
The insolvent's liabilities amounted to 921.
The creditors complained that the insolvent, notwith-
standing the small amount of his debts, had recklessly spent
2501. a very short time before his arrest, And that he had
made preferences in paying two sums of 751. each to parties
to whom he owed 1001. within the three months of his going
to prison.
Mrs. Wilson was one to whom the insolvent had given 751.
She stated the money to have been paid, and the receipt
given on the 2d of November, while it was proved by the
mark on the receipt, that it was not issued from the Stamp-
office, until the 15th.
Mrs. Wilson was willing to refund the money for the bene-
fit of all the creditors, and the Court ordered the case to
stand over until Tuesday, to enable her to do so.

BO W-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
An application was this day made by Mr. John Kelly
Courtenay, reporter, to Mr. Jardine, for a summons against
Mr. Foster, of the wning Post newspaper, whose name has
lately appeared in a report of proceedings at this court.
The statement of the applicant was as follows :—A report
appeared in The Sun of the 17th instant of a case in which
Mr. Foster preferred a charge against the beadle of the
parish of St. Martin's for an assault, in which report that
gentleman was described as " Mr. Foster, known by the name
of Thorne." Yesterday evening the reporter was met in
Wellington-street by Mr. Foster, who called him to account
for making that statement. An altercation ensued, in the
course of which Mr. Foster threatened to " watch his oppor-
tunity, and pay him out."
Mr. JARDINE inquired whether the applicant thought be
would put the threat into execution? and on the applicant
assuring the Magistrate that he feared an assault,
Mr. JARDINE granted the summons, which was immedi-
ately issued.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
A female, about eighteen years of age, who refused to give
her name, was charged with being concerned in the follow-
ing daring street robbery :
Charles Crowther, cook in the family residing at No. 2,
Bryanstone-square, stated that between twelve and one
o'clock this morning he was walking arm-in-arm with a
friend along Oxford-street, on his way home, when, at the
corner of New Bond-street, the, prisoner came up and ac-
costed him. Not wishing to have anything to say to her,
and as she continued close in front, of him for
several yards, he pushed her aside gently to
pass on ; she k immediately seized his gold guard-
chaiu, and it a yiolent tinatcli bica9 it, Twelve

or fourteen common prostitutes, with whom the prisoner
seemed to be acting in concert, had then assembled close to
them. On feeling for his watch, which he did on the in-
stant, he found it was gone ; he had seen it safe but a minute
or two previously. He directly seized her, and kept hold of
her until a police-constable, of the C division came up, and
took her into custody. Her companions hastily made off on
his calling for the police. On her being searched at the
Vine-street station-house a ri •tion of the guard-chain fell
from her dress, and on her way thither the constable no-
ticed her throw something away, which he picked up, and
foui;J. to be another part of the chain. The watch was not
found.

Mr. MALTBY asked if she had an opportunity of handing
it to a confederate 2—The prosecutor said, most certainly, a
very ample one.
The prisoner, with great indifference, said she knew
nothing of the prosecutor's watch. She certainly broke his
guard- chain, as he struck her for only speaking to him.
The prosecutor denied that he struck her; it was a gentle
push he gave her.—Committed for trial.

THE ART-UNION OF LONDON.
(THIS DAY.)

The annual general meeting of the Association was held
this day, in the Theatre Royal Drury-lane, for the purpose
of receiving the report of the committee, and distributing the
prizes.
The theatre was crowded, a great proportion of the au-
dience being ladies.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge was expected
to have taken the chair at twelve o'clock, but he not
arriving at half-past twelve, Lord Monteagle was requested
to preside.
The Glummer said—Ladies and gen tlem en, before the busi-
ness of the day commences, I beg to explain to you that I
yesterday had the honour of seeing His Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge, and he expressed on that occasion, as
he always does, his deep interest in the prosperity of the Art-
Union of London, and his' anxious desire to contribute to its
success in every way in his powor. He also expressed to me his
intention of presiding on this occasion, and I am persuaded that
it is only some circumstance of importance that has prevented
his Royal Highness from honouring us with his presence. I
shall, in his absence, occupy the chair, but I trust that be-
fore we yet commence what may be termed the real business
of the day his Royal Highness will arrive.
Mr. GODWIN, Honorary Secretary, then read the following
'certificate :—" We hereby certify that we have examined the
tickets now -produced, amounting to 16,171, and have found
the names itaribed thereon to correspond with the names
entered on the subscription book.

" EDWARD HAWKINS.
" JN. NOBLE.
" CHARLES J. DIMOND.
" We have also severally examined 279 tickets, represent-
ing the prizes to be drawn for, as mentioned in the commit-
tee's report.
" April 27, 1846."
Mr. GODWIN also announced that Messrs. Story and Perrot
had been deputed to act as scrutineers; and that Misses
Weigall and Ward had kindly consented to draw the prizes.
Mr. Gordon then read the report, from which we make the
following extracts : '-‘4 At nine successive general meetings
of the subscribers, the committee have had the gratification
of announcing the continued success of the Art-Union of
London, in spite of occasional difficulties and uncalled-for
interference. From the time of its establishment in 1837,
when the amount subscribed was 4891., every annual state-
ment has shown an increase almost unexampled, and at the
last meeting the subscription was no less than 15,4401.
On this, the tenth anniversary, they have again the pleasure
to report a similar advance, the total amount subscribed
being 16,5001., or 1,1001. more than it was in 1845.—(Con-
tinued cheering.) The report then went on to state that the
number of local secretaries had increased to 379, and that
among the places where the Society was represented abroad,
was included New York, Mexico, Hobart Town, Bombay,
Monte Video, New Brunswick, parts of Germany, and
Canton. The works of art selected last year had amounted
to 278, and the Committee had commissioned, on the part of
Sir Erskine Perry (a prizeholder to the amount of 3001.), the
execution in marble of M. W. Calder Marshall's group,
" The First Whisper of Love." The Committee, with the
view of encouraging sculpture, offered the sum of 5001. for a
group or single figure in marble, not legs than 4 feet 6 inches
high, to be competed for by furnished models in plaster.
The models were required to be sent in by the Ist of July
next, and the work completed in the same day in the follow-
ing year. Beyond the selected group, it was hoped that others
might be found suitable for casting in bronze. The bronzes
for the current year, after Mr. Foley's "Youth at the
Stream," were nearly ready, and would be distributed after
the allotment. The engraving due to the subscribers of 1844,
" The Castle of Ischia," was delivered in May last. The en-
graving for 1845, " The Convalescent," after Mr. Mulready,
had been delayed by the indisposition of the engraver, Mr.
Doo. The subscribers had, however, receives) the series of
outlines by Mr. Rimer, illustrative of " The Castle of
Indolence."

At this time his Royal Highness entered upon the plat-
form, and was received with enthusiastic cheering, which
was renewed again and again on his Royal Highness accept-
ing the chair which Lord Monteagle vacated.
Mr. GODWIN continued to read the report.
The engraving due to the subscribers of the present year,
" Jephtha's Daughter," engraved from the painting by
O'Neil, was finished, and would be speedily sent to press.
A series of outline engravings illustrative of " Gertrude
of Wyoming," would also shortly be distributed, in
addition to the last-mentioned print. For the ensuing year
a pair of engravings, by Mr. C. Rolls and Mr. F.
Heath, after pictures by Mr. Uwins, R.A., " The
Last Embrace," and " The Neapolitan Wedding" were
nearly completed ; and the Committee had also, with a
view to future arrangements, placed in the hands of Mr.
Lightfoot Mr. Frost's "Sabrina" to be engraved, and they
had also obtained permission from Mr. Maclise to engrave his
prize cartoon of "The Spirit of Chivalry."—(Cheers.) For
the premium of 5001. offered by the Committee for the
best original picture illustrating British history, twenty-
eight cartoons had been sent in, and after due con-
sideration the Committee decided that the author of the
cartoon " Queen Philippa interceding for the lives of the
Burgesses of Calais," was best entitled to receive the
commissior, provided he were found competent to execute
the painting. On opening the letter accompanying the car-
toon, the artist was seen to be Mr. H. C. Mims, to whom
the Committee had awarded a premium in 1843, for his
illustrations of " The Pilgrim's Progress." The painting,
when completed, would be engraved for the Society. The
Committee had also arranged to engrave in outline reduced
drawings of the following Cartoons :
" Saxon Almsgiving," by Mr. Scott.
"Queen Elizabeth at Kenilworth," by Mr. Zeigler.
"Howard visiting a Prison," by Mr. Armitage.
" Non Angli sed Angli," by Mr. G. Scharlz.
"Alfred surrounded by his Family," by Mr Salter.
"The Welcome of the boy, King Edward VI." by Mr. E.
Corhould.—(Cheers.)
" The Seizure of Roger Mortimer," by Mr. Noel Paton,
and

" Spencer reading the Faerie Queen to Raleigh," by Mr.
Marshall Claxton.
The Committee, with a view of encouraging gem-engraving,
had offered premiums of 601., 301., and 15/. for the beat
cameos in profile by British-born artists of a head of
Minerva in the collection of bronzes in the British
Museum, to be cut in onyx of not less than
two strata, and one inch in length. Eight cameos
were in consequence submitted, and the committee had the
pleasure of awarding the first and second premiums revec-
tively, to Miss Elena Pistrucci, of the Royal Mint, and
Mr. Henry Weigale, of St. James's-street. The re-
port commented at some length on the proceed-
ings in Parliament respecting the legality of Art Unions.
The reserved fund was stated to amount to 1,9461. 12s.
The amount expended in works of art was 14,744 L 15s. 6d.,
and with other expenses, amounted to 16,933/. 7s. The
amount set apart for the purchase of works of art was
9,750/.—(Cheers.) It would be impossible to crowd into
our columns the remarks upon the present position
of Art Unions introduced into thin admirable
report; suffice it, therefore, to state, that it exhibited in the
clearest manner the short-sighted policy which would
put down the Association, under the plea that it
might foster a spirit of gambling. It showed
that much good had arisen from the support given to the
fine arts, and the dissemination of admirable prints at a
price which put them within reach of the huniblest indi-
viduals.
. The reading of the report was' received with hearty
cheering.
Lord MONTEAGLE, in an admirable speech, moved that the
report be adopted, which having been duly seconded was
carried unanimously.
(The drawing of the prizes had not been concluded when
our report left.)

CH URC II OF
SCOTLAND.—The annual public meeting
for the advancement of the missions of the Church of Scotland, was
held yesterday
evening at the Freemasons' Tavern. Lord Kinnaird
took the chair. Dr. Cumming gave an account of the manner in
which the missions were conducted
• , and the Rev. A. Wilson urged
their claims on support in a forcible speech. After some other gen-
tlemen had addressed the meeting it broke up.
f IA PROTECTED LABOURER.—VERNHAM.—A farmer
here is giving only five shillings por week to his shepherd, with a
wife and children. This week one died from absolute starvation ;
and such is their utter destitution, that the poor man had to apply
to the Board of Guardians last summer for the money to buy a coffin
in which to bury his child. He has one shilling a week to

GRAVESEND, APRIL 27.—A detachment of the 10th
Hussars, consisting of 120 men and their officers, arrived this day,
per steamer, from Herne Bay, for embarkation on board the Brahmin
for Calcutta. This vessel was lying here awaiting their arrival, but
the officers in command of the troops, on inspecting the accommoda-
tions on board the Brahmin, which they, as is stated, found incom-
plete and insufficient, and also, considering that the vessel was too
heavily laden to burthen her further, would not allow the troops to
embark in her, and they were accordingly landed at the Custom-
house wharf, and located at the barracks until billets should be made
out for them. The officers in command of the detachment have,
as is admitted by every person who saw the ship, exercised a wise
discretion.
STOICISZI.—A. few days ago, while an Irish labourer
was engaged with two waggons on the Dundee and Perth Railway,
by Borne unfortunate accident one of his hands was entirely cut off
and fell on the line. The sufferer picked it up, and, looking at it for
a moment, exclaimed, with an oath, "You are no use to me any
longer anyhow !" and threw it into the river. The effort was
above his strength, as he immediately fainted and fell.—. Dundee I
Advertiser.
, A MEDIC HAN ON INTEMPERANCE.—During a dis-
cussion which took place in the Newcastle Connell Chamber on the
15th inst., relative to the closing of Mlle-houses on Sundays, Sir
John Fife thus expressed himself:—" I believe that most of those •
who are extensively infonned upon the subject of disease and its
causes will agree with me v.hen I say that the disease arising from I
the abuse of liquor is so much greater than the benefit arising from I
the use of it, that it would be an enormous—almost an incalculable.—
advantage to the people of this country if from this day no such thing
as spirit Or liquor of any kind were to bo had,"

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING 1V METING.
NEWMARKET, MONDAY EVENING.—.The list was prolific
of sport this afternoon, no less than nine races haying been
brought to an issue, commencing at half-past twelve, and
finishing so late as to render it necessary to extend the One
of entering for Tuesday half an hour. Abundant as tha
bill of fare was, however, it lacked importance, none of ther
stakes having any prospective interest. The meeting, indeed,.
mainly rests on the 2.000 guinea stakes, which, as well from.
its intrinsic value as from the effect its result is likely to pro-
duce on the Derby betting, continues to excite the most
lively interest. It is said that the starters for it w ill be Tem
Tulloch, Tibthorpe, Green Pea, lago, Radulphus, King
Charles, Holloway, and one of Lord Exeter's, probably the
Galata colt. Mr. Osbaldeston adheres to his intention to
ride King Charles. The present betting is even on Tom.
Tullock. Of the sport we,give the usual returns; notwith-
standing the unsettled and almost wintry character of the
weather, it attracted an averagely full and fashionable
company.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
Mr. Bunn's benefit took place here last night, and, 115
might have been expected, the house was crammed. Not a
nook or corner was unoccupied. The opera was Aktritana,
and at the fall of the curtain there were loud calls for
Mr. Bunn, who on his appearance was loudly cheered. In
returning thanks to the audience, he observed that the ho-
nour conferred upon him was entirely unanticipated—;
that upon one occasion his stage-manager had appi-160
to him as to what he should say to the audience upoll
his valedictory address of the season. His reply was,
to advert to nothing that had passed, but to dilate on
the future. He should on this occasion follow his *wit
advice. He had great pleasure in stating that he had ea-•
gaged the fifty Viennoise children, who would shortly appear,
and had also succeeded in effecting an engagement with that
popular favourite, Carlotta Grisi. Mr. Bunn then bowed his
gratitude. Then followed a concert, in which Madame
Thillon, and all the popular artistes of the day took part, and
then a ballet, combining the whole choregraphic strength of
the theatre.

KENNINGTON GLEE CLUB.—This society closed its
ninth season last evening, at the Horns Assembly Rooms, Kenning-
ton, with a dress concert, on which occasion several choice glees and
madrigals were performed by the members to a very numerous audi-
tory. The encores were many and deserved, and the whole of the

THE FALSE DIAMONDS AND THE 2/10NT DE PIETE.--'
About six months back a man, aged forty, of respectable appearance
and good manners, applied to a pawnbroker in the Rue des Fosses,.
Montmartre, to advance money on a set of diamond ornaments ot
considerable value, which he said belonged to his wife. He stated
that he was a dealer in lace, but being pressed for funds to meet some
bills, be was obliged to raise money as he best could. The pawn-
broker had the diamonds examined by a jeweller, who pronounced
them to be of good water, but observed that the setting was quito
old-fashioned. The sum of 4,800 f. was eventually advanced on them,
which the lace merchant said he should only want for a day or two.
Accordingly, two days after, he returned with the money, paid
the interest exactly, and got back the jewels. A few weeks after
he came again, and the same proceedings took place, and from
that time forward the diamonds were pledged once or twice
a month, according as money was scarce or plentiful with the
borrower. Matters went on in this way for some time, and a.
sort of intimacy had arisen between the parties, when en the 14th of
the present month, the excellent customer came as usual, presented!
the diamonds, and received the 4,800 f. Some days, however, having
elapsed without his appearing as usual, the pawnbroker felt uneasy,.
and sent to his address to inquire if by chance he happened to be un—

other persons in the business had been similarly tricked. Search we
immediately made for the adroit knave, and at last the workman
who had made the several false sets was discovered. He dedartl&
that they had been ordered from him for theatrical representation,. and that he had not felt the slightest suspicion that anything wrong
was intended. In consequence of indications coming from this
workman, a more active search was instituted, and on Wednesday'
the soi-Asant lace-dealer was arrested at Bonen, on his way to Eng-
