THE ARMY.

MAJOR-GENERAL LUMLEY.--We have to record the death
of Major-General Sir J. h. Lumley, Colonel of the 9th Regi•
ment of Native Infantry, and Adjutant-General of the army,
who died and was buried at Ferozepore on the 2d of March.
Major-General Sir J. K. Lumley was the senior officer in the
Bengal army in actual employ, and had been so for many
years. He commanded his regiment at the first siege of
Bhurtpore upwards of 40 years ago, and had just completed
his 50 years in India at the time of his death. Justly may
he be called the last of the old school. During the period
of his service his absence from his duty was under two years.
Major-General Lumley was at the capture of the Isle of
France. In the first, second, and third campaigns in Nepaul
in the years 1814, 1815; and 1816 ; and in 1817 and 1818 he
served in the grand army with Lord Hastings. He was also
at Maharajpore and Gwalior.

BAIL COURT, April 21.

(Sittings in Banco before Mr. Justice Co1,114113GL)
Mr, Cowls applied, on the part of a person named De-
pblige, at present a prisoner is York Castle, for a writ of
certiorari to bring up the proceeding's taken before the county
coroner, and also f,r a rule to show sago why the prisoner
should not be admitted to bail. The Learned Counsel stated
that he moved for the rule to show cause on the affidavits of
several persons who were present at the transaction. From
their statements it appeared that the prisoner was in the
employ of a person named ltooke, a carrier, near Leeds, On
the 2d of April last the prisoner, who was driving his mas-
ter's horse and cart, stopped with them at the Royal Oak.
The landlord of that place invited the prisoner to drink, and
after they had both taken enough to make them thoroughly
intoxicated, they went out, and some scuffle arose between
them ; they returned to the house, and the prisoner again
asked the deceased to come out and fight. The deceased did
so, and on coming out a scuffle commenced, in the course of
which he received a blow which knocked him down upon
the stones. He was taken up, and died in a few hours after-
wards. The affidavits all agreed that there did not appear
to be any malicious intention on the part of the prisoner, but
that the whole was a drunken scuffle.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—The case is one of manslaughter.
Mr. CORRIE—Yes, my Lord ; but the case is of such a na-
ture that I am induced to hope this application will not be
refused.
The rule for a certiorari was then made absolute, and a
rule nisi to show cause granted.

THE RUMOURED DISSOLUTION.
(From the Times.)

There is a rumour of an immediate dissolution ; or, to
speak more correctly, there is the report of a rumour to that
effect. What is the ground and origin of this report—
whether the wish is father to it, or the fear is father to it—
whether the Protectionists wish Sir Robert to think that he
must resign, or Sir Robert wishes the Protectionists to think
that he will resign—whether an immediate dissolution of
Parliament is nut a mere blunder for an immediate dissolu-
t ion of railways, or, after all, the report only expresses that
indefinite dissatisfaction with the existing state of things
which led Miss Squeers to exclaim, " I wish I was dead—l
wish all the world was dead"—it is not necessary for us to
decide. The report exists, and is put about with diligence.
The question is propounded. Something is to be gained, it
is thought, by looking upon the event as possible. As the
question is forced upon us, we have scarcely an alternative
but to reply. It is by no means an edifying theme. When
there is nothing else to talk of, the public generally be-
gins to talk of a dissolution, just as some men, whenever
they have nothing elso to do, immediately begin to think
of apoplexy, suicide, and such horrors. In fact, every time
within these twenty years that things have come to a
standstill, there has been a report of a dissolution. Any-
body, without an opinion in his head, can venture an esti-
mate of the odds fcr or against that casualty. Perhaps it
is beside the question to ask who is to gain by a dissolution?
The Miss Squeers who suggests the idea has probably given
up all thought of gain. It is enough that somebody would
lose something; or, if not damaged, will be at least disgraced;
or, if not disgraced, yet stigmatised. The vision of a dozen
agricultural constituencies, in addition to those which have
already changed their Members, turning out four-and-twenty
"apostates," with an immense deal of pother, with much
bluster and invective, sad giving us in their stead four-and-
twenty raw young men who have yet to apostatise, is enough
to console these satisfied dreamers for the absence of any
tangible advantage. Sir Robert Peel would "get it." Many
speeches would be made and circulated at a penny a piece.
Many prophecies would be uttered. Heaps of statistics 'and.

IRISH CORPORATIONS.

Mr. O'CONNELL wished to know whether it was the
intention of the Government to abolish the minor guilds
in Dublin ?

Sir J. GRAHAM said, that although be hail not been
prepared for the question of the Hon. and Learned
Member for Cork, he was yet enabled in some degree
to answer his inquiry. The lien. and Learned Member
was doubtless aware that, with respect to Scotland,
a Bill was prepared for the purpose of abolishing the ex-
clusive rights of which the Hon. and Learned Member
complained. The same evils had been found to exist in
London, England, 1846-04-22

porters of the Government at their post ; there were
also several Liberal Members, but the licpalers kept
aw2v IP 9- bHy, r- rt,t•

htiihers, that nut one evt n aas sutl-ereu to enter,
and one would have sufficed to enable the SPEAKEtt to
announce the necessary complement of 39. It would
seem that the increasing starvation and fever in Irelard
have no effect upon the members of Conciliation-hall,
that they prefer playing tricks upon the Government,
and attempting to throw ridicule on the Commons of
England, to the furtherance of measures calculated to
feed the hungry and relieve the distressed. They seem
bent, for what purpose we cannot divine, to excite
English prejudices against th :in, and thereby mar ad-
vantages that a Tory as well as a Whig Government
would willingly confcr upon their country.

SIR HENRY POT TINGER, Bart., G.C.B.—
The brilliant termination of the Chinese war has invested with
extraordinary interest the distinguished negotiator, by whose pru-
dence, sagacity, and skill, that auspicious event was so happily
consummated; and it is with peculiar pleasure that Messrs. Henry
Graves and Co. announce to the British public, that an authentic
Portrait of this most eminent and most successful of modern diplo-
matists, painted by Francis Grant, Esq., A.RA., has been entrusted
to them for immediate publication. The original portrait, which has
been presented by her Majesty's Government to his Excellency,
Keying, the High Imperial Commissioner of the Celestial Empire,
will be submitted to private exhibition, for a short time, and may
now be viewed, daily, at the Gallery of Messrs. Graves and Co.,

BENIOWSKI'S NEW INVENTION FOR
THE BLIND.
LECTURES on Major BENIOWSKI'S newly-invented PROCESS
of PRINTING (from usual types) for the BLIND, and teaching them
to read and write, at the Phrenotypic Institution, 8, Bow-street,
every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, at Twelve o'clock ; also at
the Royal Adelaide Gallery every Thursday, at Four o'clock.
" One of the greatest triumphs of modern ingenuity."—Sun.
By this invention an immense bulk of classical, periodical, and mu-
sical compositions is at once made available for the blind. This,
combined with Major Beniowskl's Artificial Memory, or Phreno-
typics, has produced effects which the Inventor deems it to be the
duty of every philantbropist to witness. Admission free. Free Lec-
tures on the same days, at One o'Clock, on Major Beniowski's or
Phrenotypic Method of Teaching the Seeing to Read.

NASH, OF WESTMINSTER, FOR 25t. A SIDE.
These representatives of the fistic schools of London and
Westminster met yesterday at Woking-common, on the
South-Western line, to settle the difference of opinion exist-
ing between themselves and their respective admirers, as to
which was the more skilled and accomplished in the art
pugilistic, offensive and defensive. After the usual prelimi-
naries, the paraphernalia of the ring being drily arranged,
the men exchanged an earnest grasp of the hand, threw
themselves into attitude, and the trial began. The weights
of the men were within a pound or two of each other ;
namely, Barnash, 9st. 61b. ; Martin, 9st. 41b. For the first
hour and a quarter, in which time only seventeen rounds
were contested (the last consuming sixteen minutes), the
scales alternately preponderated. Now Barnash, by sup,srior
strength, and not-to-be-denied game, boring down or rush-
ing over his adversary, and at others fighting cunning, by
direction of his seconds; at other times Martin succeeded in
drawing, then jobbing or upper-cutting his man with telling
effect. Yet so good was the condition of both, that little
marking took place, and the amount of punishment seemed
pretty equally divided. Soon after the 26th round,
however, Martin succeeded in stepping on to his man once
or twice, besides screwing him up for fibbing on the
ropes, appeared to acquire renewed confidence ; or,
what was better, second wind, and waited for the est-
minster hero, whom he punished by up hits, with both hands,
but especially the right on the ear, for his rash rushes and
wild sallies. Towards the 36th round it was clear that this
pinking and upper-cutting was doing its work, for Barnash
grew wilder and wilder in his onslaughts, receiving increas-
ing pepper. In the 37th round, Martin having Barnash on
the ropes they were cut. In the 38th and 39th the West-
minster Champion, game to the last, merely came up to re-
ceive. Two hours and twenty;three minutes had elapsed.
An appeal was now made to the referee, who desired the men
to proceed; and at this moment the ropes were cut in several
places, and the stakes torn up. That gentleman refused his
fiat, unless regularly appealed to by the umpires. One of
them (as well as the time-keeper) was absent, and his deci-
sioni the

took place, which went for nothing, as they were a pieq of
gratuitous amusement. The conduct of those who broke
the ring was disgraceful, and must add another nail to the
wooden surtout in which pugilism (unless a Fair play Club
is formed) must era long sleep its last long slumber.

ROYAL ADELAIDE GALLERY.

BENIOWSKI'S INVENTION OF PRINTING FOR THE BLIND
FROM COMMON TYPE. Amongst the novelties which
the proprietors of this institution propose to add to its at-
tractiveness this season, there are two of especial novelty, and
each of them of far greater importance than would at first
appear to a superficial observer. They are preparing for the
exhibition of Mr. Galloway's very simple contrivance for
going by steam up the side of a mountain, or along the face
of a precipice ; and in the meantime they are not preparing,
but exhibiting the actual working of an intellectual wonder
of far greater magnitude and far greater simplicity—Major
Beniowski's plan for enabling the blind to read the same books,
aye, and the same newspapers, as are published for those that
see. It is not that the iOentical page printed and blackened for
the eye can be made recognisable to the senses of the blind ;
but the same page that is marked with inked letters for the
seeing, can, at the same time, and from the same press, be
produced for those who cannot see
On Saturday Major Beniowski delivered a very interesting
lecture upon the subject ; and in his prcemium he declared
that he was quite ashamed to attach any importance to his
plan, because it was so very simple. After he had become
acquainted with the modes of printing for the blind hitherto
in use, it occurred to him that there had been much labour

in vain, and he could scarcely believe that the use of the or-
dinary types had not been thought of, until, upon inquiry
at the asylums, he found that such a thing had really never
been thought of. lie was told it was impossible. But he
now brought before the public the proof that it was not im-
possible, and more, that it was easy, that instead of expend-
ing 50,0001. for the means of supplying to the blind one book,
useless to everybody else, you may supply them with their
copies of the Times, or The Sun, or Chambers' .burnal, from
the forms, and the press that have poured out your thousands
for the seeing world.
_

The lecturer produced his primer and testament, printed
with the com►non types, and every person present was satis-
fied (and expressed the satisfaction) that the characters
were as distinguishable to the touch as those of the expen-
sive and exclusive books prepared by the London, Glasgow,
and Paris institutions.

A young woman, who had been about three weeks under
the tuition of Miss Harris., upon Major Beniowaki's plan, was
examined, in illustration of the system. Although she was
exceedingly timid, she slowed a proficiency in reading, so
much greater than what we are accustomed to observe in the
same time with those who see, that it is difficult to cha-
racterise it without risking the charge of exaggeration.

SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock.

LON► DON AND SOUTH-WESTERN
RAILWAY.
From an anxious desire to meet the public convenience, and with
a view to placing the varied advantages of their Railway, in respect
both of business and pleasure, more within the reach of every class
of the community, the Directors of this Company have resolved, on
and after the Ist of May ensuing—
To inerease the number of the trains and to accelerate their speed,
and vary the hours of departure and arrival of many of them.
To carry Second-Class Passengers with their Express Trains.
To abolish their Slow Trains altogether, and to convey Third-
ClAss Passengers at the Parliamentary fares, with their ordinary
Trains, four times a day each way, and at hours to allow of an early
departure and late return to and fro.
To make the following great Reduction in their Fares through-
out :

Express Train, first class reduced to 20s.
second class I 7s.
Fast Trains, first class —17 s.
second class —14 s.
Mixed Trains, first class l4s.
second class —10 s.
Third class at.......... 65. 6d.

By an arrangement with the Floating Bridge Company, the Omni-
bus fare between Gosport and Portsmouth is reduced from Is. to 6d.
each Passenger, including the same weight of luggage as allowed by
the Railway Company. First class, 1121 b. ; second class, 841 b.;
third class, 561 b.
Steps are in progress to increase the convenience of passengers
proceeding by steam to France, the Channel Islands, the Southern
Coast, and the Isle of Wight. This route to France, although some-
what longer, is by far the most certain and secure, from there being
good harbours Ihr departure and arrival at both ports.
Parcels will be carried at a greatly reduced scale, the throughout
eharges between Southampton, Gosport, and London, including
delivery by passenger trains, being fixed as follows, viz.-
Is. Od. for 28 lb.
Is. Gd. „
2s. Od. „ 1121 b.

Time Bills, giving full particulars, are in course of publication.

TRENT VALLEY MIDLAND AND GRAND

JUNCTION.

The object of this Bill is to connect the iron districts of
Staffordshire and the towns of Wolverhampton, Dudley,
Walsall, &c., with the Midland and Eastern Counties Rail-
ways, by a line of twenty-seven miles in length, the esti-
mated cost of which is 700,0001. Engineers, Messrs. Stephen-
son, Gouch, and Bidder ; Parliamentary agents, Messrs.
Ellicombe. The Bill was unopposed.
It appeared in the course of the formal evidence that certain
proofs of notices had been already given before the Sub-Corn-
mittee No. 3, the Bill having been originally placed on the
list of that Committee. The promoters were not prepared
to repeat this evidence, as the liAs of the persons served had
been left in the hands of the clerk to that Committee.

The CHAIRMAN said the promoters could apply to the clerk
of Committees and get the papers back, and that if they
failed to produce them in this Committee they would find it
would put them to much trouble.
Mr. ELLICO3IBE would endeavour to obtain the papers.
After some further evidence was given the case was ad-

IRISH COLLEGES BILL.

Mr. J. O'CONNELL wished to know from the
Bight Hon. Baronet opposite whether there was any
objection on the part of the Government to bring in any
measure during the present session to amend the Bill for
the founding of colleges in Ireland, which was passed
last year? To that Bill there were the strongest objec-
tions in the country, and he wished therefore to ask him
whether he was inclined to take the whole case into con-
sideration, and thus to satisfy the feelings of the nation.
The Right Honourable Baronet was aware that the
whole of the Catholic prelates, an overwhelming body
of the Catholic clergy, and the whole of the Irish peo•
ple, almost without exception, were opposed to the Bil
as it now stood.
Sir J. GRAHAM—There is no intention on the par
of the Government to introduce any alteration of tha
Bill.
