JOHN. BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the- numerous en-
deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious artiste for their
make, feel' it incumbent on them to request the attention of the
public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The gene-
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following
cautions:—Some are in appearance at first sight, " the genuine," but
without name or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
and others " Iturgiss's ;" and many more without address. John
Burgess and Son, hiving been many years honoured with such dii-
tinguished approbation, *el every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly solieit them to inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their ,make, which they hope
will prevent many disappointments.
BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such
great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom-
mended as a most useful and convenient sauce ; will keep good in all
climates.

THIS IS TIE, ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their deed
of constitution net to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that
it was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation ; the great aim and
object having been to render Life Policies COMPLETR GIECURI-
TIES and NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENTS, which shall owe their
value to the certainty or the contracts upon which they are founded,
add be independent of the liberality or eaprice of those who shall be
in the management of the affairs of the Company when the claims
arise ; and for this purpose the Company have, by a clause ha their
deed of constitution, unhesitatingly deprived themselves of the
power of objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to prove that
it was obtained from them by fraudulent misrepresentation. The
regulations comma* to all other Life Companies, which make the
validity of assurance "contracts dependent upon the perfect correct-
less of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life
Polley, and which have given rise to almost all the questions which
have been argued in the Courts, and to many extra judicial com-
promises, axe thus entirely abrogated; and nothing bat fraud, proved
to have bees committed against them, can vitiate a policy granted by
this Company'. -•
THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY from whom the assured on the
Mutual principle;- receive the whole of the mutual accumulations,
and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums assured.
THIS IS TIIII ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay
the sums In the policies, 'although the debts for .which they were
effected. shall have been liquidated_ before the claims arise. The
Company considering it only just towards the assured that where
premiums have been paid for assuring a given amount, that amount
should be paid; and they undertake to do so without reference to
the state of the accounting between the assured and his debtor.
THIS IS ALMOST THR
,ONLY COMPANY who grant in favonr
of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured,
although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe.
The Tremlums' calculated according to the Carlisle Tables, are
lower than usual Imo' young.llYes, where participation in the profits
is not required ; and for dhert assurances, which, at the option of the
assured, may bacontioded for life, the rates are as low as a due re-
gard to Complete security will permit.

11T THE HALF PREMIUM PLAN only one-half if the first
seven years' premium is required, the other 'half being payable at
at the convenience of the assured ; thus allowing a Policy to be
continued for seven years at one-half of the usual rate, or to be
dropped at one-half of the- usual sacrifice; and entitling the assured,
seven years hence, when loss of health may prevent him from
effecting a new Assurance; to continue a:Pelicy at a rate of preniinui
applicable to an age seven years younger. The Half-premium plan
of Assurance, as practised by this Company, thus enables persons
to retail to their own use the one-half of the premiums for the
first seven years, at 5!. per cent. interest.. Thus. suppose the or-
dinary 'premium' for an assurance of 5001. to be 101., the first pay-
ment by tie half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the one-
-half of the 101., and interest far the retained half; and, if death
should occur in the first year, the sum of 5001. iwould be paid less the
51. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year
of 5/. ; for the second, of 101. ; and so oa till the end of the
seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 35/., may either
be repaid, or retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the
35/. would be suhtracted from the 4001. then payable by the Cempany.

Capital X 500.000.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.

The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departMents, par-
ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or thrfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to
suit the interest er necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the fall benefit to his family•at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-
rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to eaeli policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the
amount already invested ; and this bonus, aceording to an equitable
scale; may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future
premiums

Another Bonus will be declared in the present year.

DEFERRED ANNI7ITTES:

The best and most varied provision for after-life hitherto offered—
every 21. 12s. per annum, paid from the age of twenty; will, at sixty-
five, give the policy-holder the choice of an annuity of 471. 16s. 6d.,
or 3491. I ls. cash, or policy at death of 4661. Rimilar advantages at
fifty, fifty-five, and sixty, through an increased annual payment—
two-thirds payments lent at any time, and two-thirds returned to re-
presentatives in cases of prematurekdeath.

PECULIAR ADVANTAGES OF THIS INSTITUTION.

Credit given for half the amount of the first five Annual Premiums,
by 'which means Assnrauces may be effected with the least possible
present outlay, and after payment of the arrears, the Policy-holder
will become entitled to participate in the entire profit of this Institu-
tion, precisely in the same manner as if he had paid the whole =lowa
of his premiums in advance, in the usual way.
Thus, for example—a person in the twenty-fifth year of his age,
Instead of paying 2/. 6s. per annum for an Assurance of 1001., would
be required.to pay ld. 3s. only during the first five years, when, on
payment of the arrears of Premium, amounting to sd. 155., his share
of the Profits would be such as to reduce his future Annual Pre-
miums to very little more than the half Premium of 11. 3s. originally
paid by him. The Great Britain Is the only Mutual Assurance
society in which this very great accommodation is given to the As-.
sured.

Credit allowed for the whole of the first five Annual Premituns, on
satisfactory security being give* for the payment of the same at the
expiration of five years.
All the profits of the Institution divided annually among the Policy-
holders who shall have paid live Annual Premiums.
Full particulars are detailed in the Prospectus, which, with every
requisite information, may be obtained by application to

ACTUARY—J. T. Clement, Esq.
At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the
life policies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of 5
per cent. to the shares, in addition to the payment of the annual
interest.
For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific
sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has
been calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one.
half the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five
years, thus enabling a person to assure his life for .£l,OOO on the im-
mediate payment of the premium for ,Xsfo only.
The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of
ZlOO for the whole life, one-half of which may remain for five
years by merely paying the interest annually at 5 per cent ; and
should the policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due
will then be dedticted. •

become due at Lady-day. that no extra charge is made at this office
fur the transfer of policies, and that they will be rated on toms
peculiarly favourable to parties insuring.
Insurances may be effected for any period of time ; if for seven
years, the premium and duty will only be charged for six.

riIHE TOAD AND THE ELEPHANT.
IL A Toad and Elephant (no we've heard say)
Were seen at fearful odds the ether day.
The Toad, they say, began " the dread dispute,"
'And foolishly ettack'd the giant brute.
It swell'd with rage, and spat its poison, too,
And popp'd about as Toads are wont to do
The passive Elephant remain'd quite calm,
And laugli'd at such attempts to do him harm,
Till, all at once, the warfare ceas'd to wage—
'l he spiteful cad had burst itself with rage.
Now Esop would have thought, that alter thi',
Its simple moral would not be amiss.
And we would close this fabulous narration
ily something in the shape of application
he " Elephant" is that huge house of trade
Where the fam'd name of MOSES is display'd.
And that, of course, which fills the Toad's position,
Is what the reader guesse s—" Competition."
Like the huge Elephant, our giant Mart
Smiles that the Toad" should act so vain a part.
The house of MOSES will unharm'd es-ape,
From " Competition" in its fiercest shape.
• Which (bearing out t e story of the To.-.(1,)
Will "swell" with " envious rage":—and then—" explode."

RESTRICTIONS ON FACTORY
LABOUR.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
_ _

Sir,—Until the demand for factory goods shall exceed
the supply, the Ten Hours' Bill is based on a principle.of
sound policy as well as of humanity.' •
It will divide profits among a larger number of manu-
facturers than would be the case with a Twelve Hours'
Bill, or no 13111 at all.
More-manufacturers will be benefited at a small and
equitable sacrifice imposed upon each, and any check nut
upon theleviathan profits'of a few, as such, will be a bo-on
conferred on many.
The same principle applies to labour. Ten hours'
labour may be 'followed by a proportionate sacrifice in
wages. But then every farthing so sacrificed will be di-
vided, in additional. factories, among an additional num-
ber of work-people, who otherwise might and would ob-
tain no employment at all. Nor would the sacrifice on
the part of those who lose remuneration for two hours'
labour be all sacrifice. It affords to each and all the
boon of improved health,
.more natural rest, time to
attend to relative duties, and, above' all, to spiritual im-
provement, without which constant work and high wages
are but sad preparatives to future and eternal misery.
Let the Ten Hours' Bill be enacted to be in force until
'the whole factory power of Great Britain is inadequate
to meet the home and foreign demand. We may ven-
ture to trust the Cabinet with discretionary power to
suspend its operation whenever such a contingency as
this shall arise. Does not the Government at this mo-
meut exercise .a similar discretionary power over its4Cvn
workshops, our dockyards? Do not the Ministers regu-
late in
,dockyards the hours of labour, limiting not only
the hours of the day, but the number of the days in the
week when work is•slack, and do they not do this with
a view, by the equitable distribution of work and wages,
to keep as much as possible the staff of workmen unim-
paired in numbers and in practice? Policy and hu-
manity dictate this course, and, as it is found to work
well in our national establishments, why should it not,
especially when trade is limited, work with equal ad-.
vantage in our
,cotton and other factories?
I am, Sir, yours,' •

ASSIZE. INTELLIGENCE.
MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—Carcntry, March 28.
(Before Chief Justice. TINDAL.)
GRIM. CON.-AUNT V. DICKLIN.
This was an action to recover compensation in damages
from the defendant, for criminal conversation had with the
plaintiff's wife.
Mr. Humfrey and Mr. Miller were counsel for the plaintiff.
Mr.' Whitehurst conducted the deferiee.
The plaintiff is a publican, living at Bedworth ; the defen-
dant is a ribbon manufacturer.
The -evidence of One Sarah Bird, aged 17, who was for-
Merly in the plaintiff's service, and by which the case was
sought to be made out, was, that while she was in service
with the plaintiff's family defendant was on familiar visiting
terms, and that she had on many occasions been sent. out on
trifling errands when the husband was out and the defendant
there, or to bed when the plaintiff had gone to bed, so that Mrs.
Hunt and 'Hicklin would be left alone. On Sunday, the
lath .of July last, her master and mistress had dined, when
Mrs. Hunt went.. up stairs to dress for church, while her
husband went to, lie -down.; saving_ he was to be called at
three, as he wished to go to l'okshill, a distance of.a few
miles from Bedworth. Mrs: Unlit vent to church,And the
plaintiff went 'out at half-past three,,on Soot, for Foleshill.
The mother of the girl, Bird, was in the house at the time,
and remained there until Mrs. Huut came from church.
After tea Hicklin came in and asked for Hunt, and was
told he had gone to FoleshilL •,•: He called for a glass
of ale and the •newspaper. > Witness's mother put
on her bonnet to go a little • way into the town,
when her mistress sent her away, saving she might go with
her mother, • Mrs. Hunt showing them out the back way,
and 'going a little way with them, and then- returning,
nobody being left in the house -but her and the defendant.
The witness quitted her mother, going to the house of an
acquaintance, but was fetched away by her mother to her
mistress's, where she found things in confusion, her master
and mistress there, and a constable named Smith. Mrs.
Hunt was crying, and there lay on the parlour floor a piece
of board, broken out of the partition which divided the
kitchen and parlour. Mrs. Hunt soon after went away to
Foleshill, to a house kept by the father of the witness, and
went to lay down on the bed. The defendant came in in
half an hour, and went up stairs to her. On seeing her
he said, "Why the devil do you lie there, Mawnsey ?"
and pulled her up by the hand. She was crying, and he
put his arm round her neck and wiped her eyes, and said
." Never mindrworse jobs than this happened, and we shall
get over it."

In cross-examination she said she tad been sent to bed
sometimes when other persons be'skies llicklin were there.
Mr. and Mrs. Hunt seemed tb live happy together. Never
heard him beat her. They differed about once a week, a few
words or so.
Another witness who was called, upon being questioned
whether the plaintiff had not seen his wife since this occur-
rence frequently, gave several very evasive replies. ,
Joseph Kelly, of Bedwotthira grocer, deposed to a conver-
sation he had with the defendant, in _which he confessed to
the witness that an imprer intimacy, had existed between
hiM (Hicklin) and Mrs. Hunt.
Mr. Whitehurst said it was evident no conjugal happiness
had been destroyed, and as 'to a claim for the loss of the
valuable society of such a wife, what would it amount to?
The Jury thought and gave it.

OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucester, March 30.
' CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.)
lIARBERT V. • EDGINTON.
The trial of this cause, which had been partly heard yes-
terday, was resumed this morning at nine o'clock.
Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. W. J. Alexander appeared -
as counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Godson and Mr. F. V.
Lee for the defendant.
This was an action for a breach of promise of marriage, to
which the defendant pleaded, in the first place, that he never
did promise to marry the plaintiff; and secondly, that she was
not of sober or temperate habits, but was accustomed to get
drunk with wine and spirituous liquors.
The unusual nature of the defence in this case invested it
with a good deal of interest. The parties, on the record were
neither of them in the heyday of youth, both of them having
turned the goal of 40, that sober, unsentimental, practical
stage in the race of life, when the agreeable begins to be re-
garded as of secondary importance to the useful. The plain-
tiff, Miss Elizabeth Harbert, is the daughter of a respectable
farmer, who' formerly resided at Oddinton, but who died so
long ago as 1823, leaving a widow with eight daughters and
one son, all of whom were respectably brought up by their
mother. About fourteen years ago the plaintiff went to live
with her two bachelor uncles, who were farmers at Broadwell,
as housekeeper, and • continued with them until. May last,
when her uncles gave up the: Broadwell farm, and went
to live with the plaintiff's mother at Oddinton. The
defendant, Mr. Edginton, was.. a tenant- of Lord Leigh,
occupying a farm of . some 300 or 400 acres, in • the same
neighbourhood. In April last year he took a farm called
Frogmore, which brought him -nearer to Broadwell, and on
the 2d of that month he asked one of the plaintiff's uncles
whether he was willing to part with his housekeeper, as he
intended to make her his wife, if the family and the lady had
no objection to the match. After this he was received as the
intended husband of the plaintiff, and visited the house two
or three times a-week till Thursday, the Bth ofJune, when he
fixed the day of marriage for that day week, and prepara-
tions were made for the ceremony. On the - Sunday follow-
ing he brought with him a number of wedding rings' but—
ominous mischance!--not one of them happened to fit the
finger of his bride elect. From that day the course of the
lady's affections ran any thing but smooth. On the next
Tuesday the defendant had cooled wonderfully : his blood,
which had previously been up to " marriage heat," was down
at" temperate ;" and he requested that the marriage might
be put off till the beginning of the next week, as he was not
very well. He did not appear to be unwell, but as a man,
generally speaking, neither takes a wife nor eats blackberries
on compulsion, Mr. Edginton had his own way, and took
his leave. Nothing more was heard of him till the 24th of
June, when the plaintiff received a letter from him to the fol-
lowing effect
" Dear* Madam,—l doubt not but that you consider it
strange that I have not been to Oddinton lately. I trust the
inclosed copy of a letter will be sufficient to convince you that
I am in a very unsettled state of mind. Perhaps you will be
able to understand it, and know from whence it came.
" I am, Madam, yours respectfully,
" W. EDGINTON."
The inclosed letter, which was dated the 19th of June, and
was directed to " Mr. W. Edginton, Frogmore Farm, More-.
ton in-the-Marsh, Gloucestershire," was as follows :
" Sir,—As a friend and well-wisher, I have taken the
liberty of writing to you on a most delicate and important
subject. I have been informed that you are going to enter.
into wedlock with a lady resident at Broadwell. I feel sorry
to injiare the character of a female of respectable family, but
I feel :Myself in duty bound, as an old friend, to apprise yOu
that there is strong reason to believe she is addicted to a
practice disgraceful to a tvoman, and that Would be ruinous
to herthusband.. I shall say nothing more, but believe me to
be yolk well7wisher. "ANONYMOUS."
Aftgr receiving this letter. from the defendant, Miss Har-
bert, accompanied by her sister, went over to Mr. Edgmton,
when he said that he did not believe the anonymous letter,
but thought it desirable that the marriage should be put off
for a few days. He told her " not to fret about it," and said
he was willing to carryon the correspondence as if nothing
had occurred,. but • nothing more was heard from him about.
the marriage, and upon being pressed upon the :suhject, he
said,
," I suppose you must action me." Upon another occa-

sien he said; " If she wants 200 j, or 3001., I suppose she must
have it." ' It appeared that th>defendant had communicated
to several persons, as a .fac', that the plaintiff was of intem-
perate habits, and on 21st of Sept. the. match ,was posi-
tively broken off on )2,71s part.
To rebut the. gfiiarge contained in the defendant's plea, a
very great Imlnber of witnesses were examined consisting
not only ofer relatives, but several servants who. had lividwith 'uncle-4 during her residence with them, some neigh-
bour%no: and her medical attendant. The general effect of
th:eir evidence was, that she was extremely temperate, but
it seemed that she was subject to bilious attacks, which occa-
sionally caused sickness; to severe. toothe-ache, for which
she smoked tobacco from a pipe ; and to an affection of the
throat, for which she was directed to take frequent draughts
of tincture of ic;dine. in' a wine-glass of cold water, which.
looked very like sherry and water. On the other hand, se-
veral servants, who had alsa lived with her uncles during her
residence there, deposed that she was frequently sick from
intoxication ; that she drank two or 'three glasses of brandy
a day, which she directed them to procure, but not to let her
uncles see anything of it ; that she was in the habit of smoking
cigars, and that she kept a bottle of spirits in her bed-room.
That part of the story which related to the brandy derived
some confirmation from the landlord of the King's Arms at
Stow, who supplied the family at Broadwell with a good deal
of brandy from 1837 to 1842, although the favourite beverage
of the plaintiff's uncles was gin.
Mr. Baron PARKE, in summing up, told the jury thatthey
would have no difficulty in finding a verdict for the plaintiff
upon the first iasue,. There could be no doubt that the de-
fendant had promised to marry her, but the main question
in the cause was, whether the second plea of the defendant
had been made out te....t.tieir satisfaction. If they thought it
proved that the pls.intiff had been guilty of the intemperate
habits ascribed `;:o her by the defendant's witnesses, and that
the defendtra had broken off the match, not upon the autho-
rity of.- an anonymous letter, but 'upon obtaining sufficient
evidence of the fact of the plaintiff's intemperance, the ver-
dict upon the second issue must be found for him: If, how-
ever, they were of opinion that the second point in that plea
was not made out, still, if they considered. that the former
part of the plea -Was proved, that circumstance ought to in-
fluence them in considering the damages which ought to be
given ; because, a woman who could so far forget herself was
not entitled to ask for heavy damages.
• The jury consulted for some time, and then found a vet
diet for the plaintiff—c Damages, 2001.

GREECE.

An Athenian paper of the 21st of February pub-
lishes the following protocol as having been signed at
London, on the 17th of November last, by Lord
Aberdeen, Count St. Aulaire, and Count Brunnow :
" The Minister for Foreign Affairs of her Britannic
Majesty opened the sitting, directing the attention of
the plenipotentiaries -of France and Russia to the
mission with which the King of Bavaria had en-
trusted Prince Wallerstein. The plenipotentiaries,
with every respect for the natural feelings of the
King of Bavaria, and for the sacrifices made by that
Monarch during the Greek war of independence, as
well as for the immediate interest which he took in
the conclusion of the treaty of 1832, by which the
new kingdom was constituted, consider it their duty
to attach great weight to the oral communications
made to them by Prince Wallerstein on two points,
one of a legislative, and one of a political character.
With respect to the former, Prince Wallerstein has
received instructions from his Sovereign, in conse-
quence of a wish expressed to his Majesty the King
of Bavaria by his Majesty the King of Greece, to call
on the Three Powers to assist with their advice the
labours of a national assembly, summoned by King.
Otho, with a view to the establishment of a definite
Constitution for Greece. With respect to the second
point, Prince Wallerstein has put forward all the
political interests connected with the consolidation of
the Government established in Greece by the Three
Powers, parties to the conference.
" As to the legislative labours, the plenipotentiaries
have come to the conclusion that no ground exists
for a discussion on this subject, the Three Powers
have already given to their representatives at Athens
such instructions as are necessary for their guidance.
The plenipotentiaries have deemed it right on this
point to refer to the commands of their respective
courts, with which Prince Wallerstein has been made
acquainted.

a Respecting the political question, the plenipoten-
tiaries hastened to declare unanimously that the most
perfect agreement exists among their respective courts
for the consolidation of the Government established
in Greece by the treaty of the 7th of Mai, 1832, and
by the additional articles to the same, o the 20th of
April, 1833. Considering how important it is, that
the work of peace established by those treaties should
be consolidated, as an important guarantee for the
tranquillity of the East, the Three Powers have on
this occasion again expressed their unanimous wish to
see Greece secure herself against all the evils of
anarchy, and to maintain the respect due to the
Monarchy, us well as the personal inviolability of the
Monarch called upon to reign over Greece.
" While they declare the unanimity of the Three
Powers upon this point, the plenipotentiaries have at
the same time announced their entire concurrence on
two other interests which the Three Powers have
deemed it their especial duty to watch over :
" First. that Greece should remain strictly con-
fined within the limits drawn between the new State
and Turkey, in 'order that the inducement to internal
troubles in the. Ottoman provinces, bordering on the
Greek territory, may be guarded against.

" Secondly, that Greece Amid not neglect the kl-
filment of the financial obligations which she has as-
sumed towards the Three Powers, in virtue of the
treaties of the 7th of May, 1832, and of the 14th of
September, 1843. '.rho honour of the Greek nation
demands the punctual fulfilment of the obligations en-
tered into with the Three Powers, and of the duties
assumed-by-Greece on her admission into the list of
independent States. The ,Three Powers are satisfied
that this duty will be fulfilled in a manner to pre-
vent every attack on the maintenance of peace and
order. The plenipotentiaries have determined to in-
troduce this declaration into . the present protocol,
which Lord Aberdeen is commissioned to communi-
cate to the Bavarian Court, in reply to the overtures
of Prince Wallerstein."

GERIVIAN RAILROADS.
The German Railroads open to the public At the
commencement of the present year comprised a length
of 255 German or about 1,147 English miles. The
railroads themselves are 23 in number, of which four
are as yet wholly situated within the Austrian, ten
within .the Prussian, and two within the Bavarian
territory. During the year 1843, the individuals who
travelled by these railroads. amounted in number to
8,088,067, a number equal to one•fifth of the entire
population of Germany. •
The quantity of merehandisg.transported in 1843 is
calculated at 12,000,000 cwt. The gross receipts for
travellers and goods during the same time were
.921,9461. (11,063,353 florins), and .the net receipts,
on an average are said to pay four per cent to the
shareholders. The following table will show the
number of persons travelling on each railroad during
the month of December, and during the whole of the
year 1843-: •

The first in the above list, the Linz and Budweis
line, is remarkable as having been the first railroad
in Europe constructed for the conveyance of pas-
sengers. It connects the interior of Bohemia with
the Danube, and, being carried across the mountains,
is seldom used during the winter months, when the
mountains are covered with snow. This accounts for
there having been no passengers during December.
The trains are drawn by horses, the railroad is of a
very inferior construction, is in a very neglected
state, and will full into comparative disuse when the
railroad from Vienna to Prague, now in construction,
has been completed.
The works on a new Hanoverian railroad-from
Harbur,,,o. to Luneburg-comthenced on the 19th inst.,
on which day the first stroke of the spade was struck
by the Government Counsellor Von Hoppenstedt, and
the event celebrated with great festivity.

IRELAND.
SENTENCE ON MR O'CONNELL.
•
DUBLIN, ISIARot 28.—Some of the most distingtushec
counsel in England, as well as in this country, have declared
it as their opinion that a writ of error must, beyond all poi-
sibility of doubt, lead to the quashing of the verdict agaiast.
Mr. O'Connell and the other traversers in the State trials
But a writ of error does not lie until after sentence ; and the
question, arises are the traversers to undergo the sentence,
and suffer the period of imprisonment which the Court
may think fit to award, whilst the arguments upon the writ
of error are in progress in the House of Lords P In
cases of capital felony, the prisoner being sentenced in
death or transportation, he remains, of course, to
prison whilst a writ of error is pending ; but in
a misdemeanour, where the law limits the punish-
ment to fine and imprisonment, the case is totally
different. The Attorney-General, as a matter of course,
will allow the writ of error to issue in the case of the
" Queen v. O'Connell and others." That writ will be prose-
suted through all its tedious forms; but there could be no
reasonable hope that the judgment of the House of Lords
could be obtained before the expiration of the sentence.
Suppose that judgment in favour of the traversers—and I
understand that the plea of abatement alone must secure
such a result—the quashing of the verdict would probably
occur after Mr. O'Connell and the other traversers had been
illegally incarce rated. This appears so monstrous, that it is
difficult to imagine the Crown could permit imprisonment -
pending the argument of the legality of the trial and the
verdict.

THE. PRESBYTERIAN MOVEMENT.
The Presbyterians are agitating in earnest, and with a
hearty good will. Meetings to petition for equality of rights
with the Established Church on the marriage qttestion, were
held last week, in Drotnore, Ballymoney, Newtownhamilton,
Killileagh, Dungannon, Lurgan;Bangor, Ballymena, Rath-
friland, Cookstown, Larne, Donaghadee, and Coleraine.
Lisburn, and various other places, awl even Armagh, the
citadel of Primate Beresfurd, are joining in tkis formidabli
movement.

RIGHT OF SOLICITORS TO ADDRESS JURIES.....
Chief Baron Brady permitted a solicitor to address the jury.
in defence of a pnsoner at Cork. Mr. Bennett, Queen
Counsel, and the bar, strongly protested against such an in-
cursion upon their privileges (whisk were specially recognised
by statute), rose immediately after the Learned Judge had
intimated his intention, and withdrew from the Court. His
Lordship stated that he would have the question fully argued
before the twelve judges.
Loss or LIVES AT lIULL.—A serious accident pc.
curred on Thursday last at Hull. The Hull Flax and-Cot-
ton Company .are building some new offices for clerks and
book-keepers. The offices are built over a reservoir or drain..
The accident occurred in striking some wedges from an arch
over the reservoir, when the arch fell with a great crash;
and at the time of the accident four men were at work un-
derneath the arch, two of whom were killed; the ether two,
fortunately escaping with only a few contusions. About is
dozen men were at work on ascalfolding over the reservoir;
but providentially they also sustained no serious injury.--
