Mr. FAIRS' far-famed MAGAZINE of ART and his FAMILY

RESIDENCE adjoining.

UR. GEORGE ROBINS respectfully makes
1.Y.1_ known to the Public, and more especially such as ap-
preciate the

CORRECT ORDER OF ARCHITECTURE AND THE FINE ARTS,
that he ►ill SELL by AUCTION on the Premises, on TUESDAY
NEXT, April 21, at One. o'clock, in consequence of Mr.
FAIRS having taken, in conjunction with Mr. Meakin, the
extensive premises, No. 139, in New Bond-street, lately, and
for half a century, In the occupation of Mr. Turner, Uphol-
sterer to the Royal Family, with the intention of continuing
the art of decorating, with the useful appendage of a thorough know-
ledge of furnishing houses in various styles suited to the present
taste. Mr. it. is instructed to sell the abode in which so much of the
deservedly fair fame of Mr. Fairs has been acquired,

Ne. 2, IN HANOVER-STREET, HANOVER-SQUARE.
To give a lucid description of all its claims to admiration, both in
the exterior and the interior, would necessarily occupy too large a
space in a public announcement; it is, therefore, suggested that all
these inclined to this first-rate situation should go and judge for
themselves, when the moderated account that is to be attempted in
this little detail will be confirmed.
THE ORDER OF ITS ARCHITECTURE
IS OF THE EARLY ITALIAN SCHOOL.

Its front is very much more imposing than anything contempora-
neous, and the expense of accomplishing this has necessarily con-
sumed a large capital : but its prepossessing appearance amply re-
pays the great outlay incurred, as well as the tact and anxiety,
that marked its progress and completion. It may be well,
" en passant," to observe that the situation is so pre-eminent that it
is adapted to the highest works of art ; indeed, it is fearlessly as-
serted that both within and without there is nothing to surpass it
throughout

LORD WELLESLEY v. THE EARL OF MORNINGTON.
It was stated by counsel that an arrangement had been
made between the, parties h this cause. The case came ori-
ginally kiek%)re Lord Langdale on the 28th ult., in the shape
qf a ;lotion to restrain the Oarr) ing into execution a
contract, by WhiPh the defendant had agreed to sell Mr.
Morris B,suO oak trees. An application was made yes-
terday, on the part of the plaintiff, to make Mr. Morris
the defer.daut in the case, which was ordered to stand
over till today, in the expectation that an arrangement
mc{le, Mr. Morris has consented to give up
his contract, which of coure terminates the law pro-
ceedings in this case, which has excited some little in-
terest from the rank of the litigants,
His Lordship then prcveded to hear the unopposed
petitions, of %O-4h there was a large number on the list.

Mr. STtrawr toped in this case upon motion to dis-
solye n Injnnction that had been granted by his Honour
during the Easter recess, restraining the defendant, who
is a public singer, from singing or publishing, or other-
wise making use of certain songs, some of which had
been writteU, and others set to music, by the plaintiff.
Among these songs were " Old Fools and Young Ones,"
" I've been Roaming," and " I'm Afloat," &c, The
Learned Counsel was proceeding to read the affidavits
on which the application was made, when he was in-
terrupted by

BETIIEIII, who requested that the case might
stand over in order that the plaintiff might answer some
of the affidavits filed by the defendant yesterday.
Mr. STUART at once agreed to postpone the motion,
the defendant being anxious that the plaintiff should
have the benefits of all that he had " said or sung."
The VICE-CM4NO4LLOR said that the present was a
case to which the motto of audi alteram parteru most
aptly applied.—(Great laughter.)

THE ROBBbRY ON BOARD HER

MAJESTY'S SHIP TRAFALGAR•

At the Guildhall, Rochester, on Saturday, William
Dennis and William French, privates belonging to the
Chatham division of Royal Marines, who had been re-
manded on a previous occasion, on a charge of stealing
a gold watch and gold brequet chain, the property of
Lieutenant L. C. H. Tonge, of the flag-ship Trafalgar,
were brought up for final examination. The robbery
was effected in September last, at which time the
Trafalgar was lying at Plymouth. In November she
came round to Sheerness, and the prisoners then avail-
ing themselves of the opportunity afforded by 48 hours'
leave of absence, disposed of the chain to a pawn•
broker, at Chatham, for ss. The watch was afterwards
sold by the prisoners to Mr. J. Spasshatt, watchmaker,
awartford, for 305., and he aga►n parted with it to a
Jew, named Marks, living in Houndsditch. The pri-
soners having exceeded their time of leave, were appre-
hended as deserters at Chatham, where they were after-
wards taken into custody by Serjeant Kendell, of the
metropolitan police, on suspicion of being concerned in
the robbery, and that officer had since learned that the
watch-case had been melted, and the works sold to an-
other Jew living in Brick-lane, Spitalfields, of whom he
had since received them, and on producing which in
Court, Lieutenant Tonge identified them as being
the works of his watch. He said the prisoners, who
had given different names to those in which they
entered the service, had been implicated in ten
or twelvo other robberies on board the Trafalgar.
The prisoners were identified by Mr. Stigact, of Chat-
ham,. the pawnbroker to whom they sold the chain; by
Mr. Spasshatt, a watchmaker at Dartford, who purchased
the watch; and by a young man named Tile, who saw
them dispose of the watch, and with whom they were
afterwards in company, at the Crown and Anchor pub-
lic-house, at Dartford. . - .

Both prisoners were committed for trial at the next
Quarter Sessions for Rochester, Lieutenant Tonge ex -
pressing his readiness to be bound over to prosecute,
saying he must obtain leave of absence, as the Trafalgar
would then, in all probability, have left Sheerness.

ST. MARY, NEWINGTON.

On Tuesday evening the annual meeting of the
rate-payers of Newington took place in the vestry-
rooms, to elect a churchwarden to act with the one Lo-
ininated by the rector, and for the appointment of other
officers for the ensuing year. Mr. Hemmings, the late
churchwarden, was proposed for re-election, and Mr.
Mideot was also nominated for the office. A vary warm
debate then took place on the merits and fitness of the
candidates for office. It was urged by many of the ves-
try who addressed the chair, that it was the invariable
custom of the parish to permit a churchwarden to re-

LANCASHIRE and YORKSHIRE NORTH
EASTERN RAILWAY, from SHIPTON to YORK.

PUBLIC MEETING AT OTLEY.

At a meeting of the inhabitants of the township of Otley, held the
13th day of April, 1846, for the purpose of considering which of the
intended lines of railway projected in the Valley of the Wharf. would
prove of the greatest advantage to that district ;
PETER GARNETT, Esq., in the Chair ;

Moved by WILLIAM ACEIOYD, Esq., and seconded by i'onsi SPENCE.
Esq., and

Resolved unanimously—That in the opinion of this meeting the
interest of the inhabitants of the town of Otley and the neighbour-
hood thereof will be greatly promoted by railway communication ;
that the entire want of canal or railway communication hitherto has
been seriously felt by the inhabitants in the enhanced price of all
articles brought into the district, from the great expense of transit,
whilst, from the same cause, the value of its produce has been con-
siderably deteriorated.
Moved by CHEISTOPIIER JACKSON, Esq., seconded by Wirmast Feta•

BANK, Esq., iind

Resolved unanimously—Thai in the opinion of this meeting the
wants of the dlittrict will be best supplied by the proposed Lancashire
and Yorkshire North-Eastern Railway • that the line selected for it
through this vicinity is the best calculated to serve the interest of the
public, with the least annoyance or inconvenience to landowners
through whose property it is intended to pass.
Moved by J. AL BARIIATT, Esq., seconded by THOMAS CONSTABLE,

Esq., and

Resolved unanimously—That for the reasons stated in the fore-
going resolutions, and feeling confidence in the highly respectable
body of Directors, generally speaking landowners, or parties locally
interested in this district, this meeting pledge themselves to do all in
their power to support the Lancashire and Yorkshire Worth-Eastern
Railvray, and to promote the passing into a law the Bill now before
Parliament to authorise the construction of it.

(Signed) PETER GARNETT, Chairman.
The chair being vacated, an unanimous vote of thanks was passed
to flu! Chairman for his able and impartial conduct in the chair.

LIVERPOOL, MANCHESTER, AND NEW-
CASTLE-UPON-TYNE JUNCTION RAILWAY.

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS.
Having seen the advertisement of a " Shareholder" in the pa-
pers, suggesting that, in consequence of this Company having amai-
gamaded with " The Lancashire and North Yorkshire Railway,"
and the line of the latter Company being adopted, this scheme
should be abandoned, rued the deposits returned, as both capitals
could. not be required to make the line, I, as another shareholder,
should like to add a remark which will strengthen the above sug-
gestion.

In October last it was currently reported, and I have ascertained
it to he a fact, that the Lancashire and North Yorkshire had amalga-
mated with the Fleetwood, Preston, and West Riding Junction
Railway, whose line from Elslack to Preston was to be adopted, and
would form the route from Newcastle to Liverpool, Preston, &c.
In this state of things, it appears to me that no object could be
gained by prosecuting our line further, as its objects will be fully ob-
tained by the two Companies above mentioned, and our Company
appears to have no line left.

An immediate meeting of the Company appears absolutely neces-
sary, in order to ascertain what good result could be gained from fur-
ther procedure, and whether the interests of the Shareholders would
not be better consulted by an immediate dissolution of the Company.

RECORD OFFICE.

Mr. BULLER moved that a Select Committee be appointed
to consider the propriety of establishing a General Record
Office for England and Wales.

The motion was seconded, and read from the Chair.
After a few words from Mr. C. WYNN,
Mr. PROT HEROE thought nothing could be wiser than
the object of the motion of his Hon. Friend, and he should
willingly support it. It was highly desirable that a general
public office for the preservation and consultation of the records
should be established.

Mr. C. WYNN explained, and wish.nl it to be generally
understood that be had not the slightest wi.h to check the
motion of Lis Hon. Friend, but it appeared to him that there
were two concurrent objects in the proposition, which could
not conveniently be carried out together.
Mr. HAWES hoped that the Right Hon. Gentleman would
agree with the general proposition for the record office, and
that the motion of his Hon. Friend would not be opposed.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would give
his consent to the formation of the Committee proposed by the
Hon. Member for Liskeard (Mr. Buller), hut there would be
several points for them to decide on, and he was very much
afraid that the result of the inquiry would not be attended
with the effects anticipated by the Hon Member. He sin-
-erely biped, however, that the Committee would point out
some adequate means to acrompl sh the ohj, et of the motion.
After a few words from Mr. Christie, Mr. Protheroa, and
the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
Mr C. BULLER wished to call the attention of the Right
Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the necessity of con-
structing a public building sufficiently large to hold the future
increased number of reports, as well as the present large
quantity. He thought that the public would be better satis-
fied if a commission were appointed to arrange and select the
records, than if the inquiry were entrusted to a Committee of
the House.
The motion was'then put from the chair, and agreed to
without a division.

The supply of English Wheat on sale was very limited, but of full
average quality. Although the attendance of buyers was small
selected parcels moved ot( steadily at full prices, but all other kinds
were neglected. Foreign Wheat, free as well as in bond, was in good
request, and previous rates were well supported. In Barley a mo-
derate business was doing, while Malt was quite as dear. The show
of Oats was again very small, owing to which the Oat trade was
firm, and the currencies had in some instances an upward tendency.

LONDON* WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 1846.

The last of the attacks on the
Corn Importation
Mill has been made. The last faint assault has taken
place. Lord ASEIBURTON on Monday evening brough
forward the resolution of which he had
.given notice,
but not as an amendment to the Bill, or in a shape by
which its progress would be impeded or delayed,
even if the resolution should be carried. His
Lordship denied that it was intended as a round-
about and indirect way of defeating the Bill, and
stated that he had no wish to throw out the Bill, and
should indeed hesitate to take any steps for that pur-
pose, seeing the state of their Lordships' minds on fir-
matter. The discussion on the second reading, and
the decisive majority by which that second reading
was triumphantly carried, and the principle
of the measure affirmed by their Lordships,
and also the clear majorities on the two
amendments on which divisions were hazarded.—
the one for the perpetuation of the three
years' shadow of protection, and the other far a ss,
fixed duty, for the purpose of revenue—bore ample

testimony to a man so shrewd and intelligent as

Lord ASBBURTON of the utter inutility and folly of
making any further effort for the rejection or muti-
lation of the great measure. His Lordship is
too good a tactician to prolong a useless defence ;
he, therefore, sought an opinion from the House, a
deelaration of the danger which might result from
the sudden admission of the large quantity of wheat
now in bond, ,Aith a view, probaldy, of founding
some restrictive measure thereon. His proposed re-
- solution was—

" That whatever may be the alterations which it may 1)2
expedient permanently to make in the laws regulating the
introduciiO4 of foreil.,,n corn, it is the opinion of this House that
the sudden importation of the large quantity. of wheat now in
bond atavery low rate of duty, while the prices are moderate
and the prospect of the approaching harvest is promising,
maY be productive of great injury and injustice to the culti-
vators of the soil of the United Kingdom, and that some
better provision against such a calamity should be provided
than is contained in the Bill now before the House."

to the fact, that various Bills passed by Committees, au-

it had expressed with respect to railway projects of minor im.
portance. and that it would be better for Committees not to pan
Bids which, for the large sums of money required to c.instruct them,

The Committee met this mornini; at eleven, Lord Stanley in the
chair.

TRING).

Mr. Austin, Mr. Hildyard, Mr. Calvert, Mr. Hope, and Mr. Laing
are retained for the promoters. The line is opposed by the Oxford
and Bletchley Company.
Mr. AUSTIN having briefly opened the merits of the project,
Mr. CALVERT proceeded to call Mr. Plerrepoint, Rev. F. Litchfield,
vicar of Faringho, and other witnesses, who gave evidence of the ad-
vantage which the railway would voider for the transport of agricul-
tural and Refry produce to the largo towns, for convenient transit to
markets and the' county town, and for the introduction of coal to the
district, which is in great want of fuel.
Alr. Robert Stephen,son was examined, and gave evidence Similar
to that which was given before the Commons' Committee.
in the cross-examination by Mr. TALBoT,` the attention of the
oisamittee was drawn to a point which engaged the notice of ttie
Comunous' Committee, also, the manner of joining the Oxford and
Rugby line much above the level, by moans of two sidings.
Mr. titephenson said this was a common practice.
Mr. Tensor contended that though they had power to take all the
land within the line of deviation, they had no rower to make, in fact,
four lines instead of two, for which they had got the Bill, as in this
Instance.

Mr. CALVERT held that the sidings in qnestion were part of the
acctommodation works for which they took powers In their Bill.
The CIIAIRILIN wished to consult Lord Shsitesbuty on the point,
which he therefore reserved. '

Some formal evidence In addition closed the case for the promoters.
The Committee adjourned till eleven o'ziock to-morrow.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)

Mr. Macneigh, the gentleman who laid down the line under the
direction of Messrs. Loeke awl Errington, proved
.that the length
of the line, with branches from Muirklrk, and the point where It
Joined the Caledonian Railway was fifty-two miles. Its engineering
features were favourable, and the total coat was estimated at
833,546/.
Mr. Everington corroborated the testimony of the last witness.
There were no tunnels on the line, and but one viaduct. The
severest gradient was 1 in 99, and the sharpest radius of a curve was
three furlonis. The works generally were of a light and easy cha-
nicter, and certainly could be constructed rapidly, and within the
*estimate.

This closed the ease for the promoters of the BEL
Mr. AUSTIN then addressed the Committee at some length on be-
half of the opposirg landholders, whose property was situated between
Muirkirk and Ayr. The Learned Counsel said the length of the
line between these two places was 25 miles, and the gentlemen whom
he represented, and who opposed the line on public grounds, were
the owners of 13 of those 25 miles.
The Committee then adjourned.

ELECTION OF SHERIFFS.

(THIS DAY.)
This being the day appointed for the annual nomination of
Sheriffs, and other officers, at twelve o'clock the. Hall had
become densely crowded with liverymen. At the exterior of
the hall were large placards with the names of Alderman
Challie, R. W. Kennard, Esq., J. Walter, Esq., and Thomas
Thornton, Esq.,' for sheriffs. Prior to the business commene-
ing, another placard was posted intimating that Messrs.
Walter and Thornton's names bad been posted without their
authority. At one o'clock the Lord Mayor and civic
authorities appeared on the platform, and the; Common Hall
having been opened by the crier,
The RECORDER briefly addressed the Hall.
A list of names was then read over by the COMMON SER-
GEANT. The names of Messrs. Walter ( Times) and Thorn-
ton were received with a general hissing, but on the con-
trary, those of Mr. Alderman Challis and R. W. Kennard,
Esq., caused very general applause.
The show of hands was declared to be in favour of the two
latter gentlemen, who, as no poll was demanded, were de-
clared duly elected.
The remaining business having been disposed of, the hall
was dissolved.
