TESTIMONIAL TO GEORGE CRIJIMHANX..—A rather
select than numerous meeting was held yesterday even-
ing, at the house of Mr. George Cox, optician, Holborn,
for the purpose of taking into consideration the best
means of promoting a subscription, with the view of
presenting a testimonial to George Cruikshank, the ini-
mitable artist. The proceedings were altogether of a
preliminary character. Mr. Passmore Edwards presided.
He introduced the subject by adverting to the distin-
guished abilities of the eminent artist who was the object
of the meeting in the most eulogistic terms. Mr. Pri-
deaux moved, and Mr. Phillips seconded, a resolution to
the following effect:—" That this meeting, admiring the
peculiar and unrivalled talents of George Cruikshank, do
now form themselves into a committee, pro teme., for the
purpose of promoting a subscription, with a view of pre-
senting a testimonial to that distinguished artist, by co-
operating with any other body or bodies already in ex-
istence for the same purpose, and by such other means
as they may deem advisable; and that this committee
now adjourn to a future day, then to re-assemble and
report progress." In the course of the evening several
letters were read from individuals favourable to the
undertaking.

His Excellency Mr. J. Brooke (Raja of Sarawak),
since his return to Mivart's from visiting his relatives,
at Cheltenham and Somersetshire, has been actively
engaged in preparations for his departure for the East
Indies, to enter on the duties of his high appointment.
His Excellency is expected to leave on Monday or Tues-
day next for Portsmou.h, to embark at that place with
the members of this suite.

THE IRON TRADE.—At a meeting of the creditors
of Mus.irs. Bradley and Son, of Tipton. near Dudley,
held at Birmingham yesterday, we understand that an
arrangement was made fur the payment of 12s. 6d. in
the p )und. _ _

A BID FOR A MITRE.—The Dean of Carlisle has
written to lit. Hampden, to say that he will ever consi-
(l( r the vote he gave avainit him (Dr. Hampden) in
1836, as the most untatisractory vt,te he ever recorded as
membt r of the Hebdomadal Maid.

THE LATE MURDER AT DUNDRY.—ASITTON,
THURSDAY MORNING —The inquiry by the magistrates
ft.r the county, of which I gave you yesterday as late
particulars as could be given down to the hour for olos-
lug my pareel, was continued through the day. No new
fact of importance was elicited, and the inquiry was
again adjourned.
AnD•EL•l(ADEa.—Letters from Toulon of the 231
inst. state that no decision had yet been adopted with
regard to Abd- el Fader. A child belonging to a woman
of his suite had died in the fort Lamalgue. The pri-
soners, after per'orming the funeral rites over the body,
suffered it to be conveyed to the cemetery of the town,
where it was interred. The 123 persons of Abd-el.
Kader's deira, lately landed at Algiers from the Oran
packet, had been removed to the fort of the Casbah,
where they were to be treated as prisoners of war of the
first class. Among them were two Spanish women,
born at Cadiz, of remarkable beauty, and the wives of
one of the Khodias of the Emir.

TURNPIKE Tou.s.--A meeting was yesterday held
at the parish-house of Hackney to memoralise the Com-
missioners of Roads for the removal of some of the toll-
bars. It was shown that in that parish there are three
distinct districts, to all of whose tolls the parishioners
are liable. A petition to the House of Commons was
also drawn up, and it was there stated on good authority
that the cost of collecting is sixty per cent. on the whole
sums levied froth the public.
JEWISH DISABILITIES REMOVAL BILL.—We have
heard from a source on which we may rely, that the first
speech on the Jewish Disabilities Bill after the re-open-
ing of the House, will be from Sir Robert Peel (in
favour), and that on its introduction into the Upper
House, it will be supported by the Duke of Wellington,
and no less than seven of the Bishops ; consequently
there cannot be any longer a doubt as to its sticcess.--.
Voice of Jacob.
GENERAL FLORES.—We are informed that Briga-
dier-General Flores, of the Spanish marines, arrived at
the port of Swansea, Wales, by a vessel from u
o
route to Spain. The General has left
country Cuba,
ntr)- fore
this
Paris, in order to proceed through France to Spain,
to follow him by a vessel proceeding either from that
arraegements having been made for his personal effects
port or Liverpool, to their destination.
THE HUNGARIAN MAGNATES.—The Chamber of
Magnates of Hungary adopted in their sitting of the
17th the principle of a Bill for a more equal mode of
taxation, so as to compel all persons to contribute to the •
expenses of the state according to their means, and abo-
lish the privileges hitherto enjoyed by certain classes.
OSWESTRY.—FUNERAL OF THE LATE EARL OF
POWIS. --At a special meeting of the town council on
Saturday last, it was unanimously agreed that the
churches should be put in mourning, and also that on.
Friday next, the day of interment, that all business
should be suspended. The inhabitants of the town will,
therefore, strictly observe the terms of the requisition,
so that the day will be one of general mourning, as a
mark of respect to the noble family, for whom no com-
munity can possibly sympathise more than the pa-
rishioners of Oswestry, who, in the person of the late
lord of the manor, have lost one of their greatest bene •
factors.—Eddotres's Shropshire Journal.
FAILURES IN FRANCE.—The three houses in Mont-
pellier, the failure of which was, spoken of yesterday at
the Bourse, are those of Granier,. of Farel, and of C.
Fajon. The first carried on a large business as a banker
and woollen-manufacturer, and his being obliged to
suspend payments has caused an immense sensation in
the south of France. It was said, however, that he was
likely to make such arrangements with his creditors as
will enable him to resume his operations in business.
the
Chamber Granier represented the town of Montpellier in _
Chamber of Deputies, and his resignation of his seat has
been announced by the President, as will be seen
tin our
report of the sitting. The other two houses,_. hough
highly respectable, were not so important.—Galignant.
VAN AMBURGH.—The celebrated lion-tamer ar-
rived here from America last week. He has left off
contending with furious beasts, and has taken to the
more peaceful occupation of acting as agent for the sole.
braced Titus, the Emperor of the American arena.
His mission to England is to purchase trained horses for
the above• named gentleman, and to pick up any avail•
io
nf
order to
able talent that may be disengaged in the equestrian,
vaulting, or tumbling line. Ai. Mr. Batty,
Amphitheatre, has been weeding his stud
introduce fresh blood, and to change his breed of
horses, which are considered somewhat too " leggy," the
opportunity was favourable to Mr. Van Amburgh's de-
we believe, purchased very largely from
signs. He has,
Mr. Batty, and the albinos, piebalds, and the " admired
spotted chargers," are all about to experience the
annoyance of a voyage across the Atlantic, and to become
denizens of the free republic. The very horses that
have been foremost in the charge on the British side in
the grand spectacle of " The Battle of Waterloo." will
shortly be engaged with equal energy under the " star-
spangled banner " in bearing down Mexican mustangs in
the glorious battle piece entitled " The Conquest of
Mexico." Mr. Van Amburgh reports that theatrical
business is in a very depressed state in America just
now. As he is about to make further purchases, it
appears he is determined to carry out the necessary
materials for exciting a sensation.—Liverpool Albion.
