MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. Her Majesty has a bracelet, ornamented with four magnificent diamonds, former ly the property of royal owners, the death of each of whom has been unhappy and untimely. One of them belonged to the Princess Charlotte, two to Marie Antoinette, and the fourth to Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots. It is stated that her Majesty is in a condition which holds ont a prospect of her presenting the country, before Jon, with an additional Prince or Princess. Her Majesty, through slight indisposition, was unable to attend the performance of Israel in Epypt on Thurs- day night at Exeter Hall. On inquiry at Buckingham Palace, it was ascertained that her Majesty had only experienced the inconvenience of a slight cold. It is stated that a company is about to be formed in Bristol to trade with goods to California. A child lost its life, at Clifton, a few days since from biting off and swallowing a piece of the wine glass fro-ni which medicine was being administered to it. The me- dical gentleman, who gave evidence at the inquest, very properly and judiciously observed-" Medicine should always be administered to young children by means, of a spoon, or something less dangerous than glass, be- cause, when cutting their teeth, they are apt to bite." Dr. Ogilvie, the incumbent of Ross, has replied, in a long letter, to the 145 memorialists who prayed him to restore the performance of the anthem during setvioe in the parish church, which has been disoostiaued- for some time past by his orders. The rev. gentleman de- clines to accede to the wishes of the large and influen- tial body of his parishoners who signed the requisition, alleging, as his reason, the inefficiency of the choir to perform church music of a high order. It is not true that the Earl of Dalhousie is about to retire from the Governor-Generalship of India, and re- turn home through ill health. Notwithstanding his arduous and responsible duties, the Governor-General's health has greatly improved since his arrival at the seat of war. Lord Clarina is the Irish representative peer to be elected, vice Lord Dunsany, deceased. Sir Charles Napier, the commander of the British cruising squadron, has obtained 10,000 dollars from the Emperor of Morocco in satisfaction of the claim made by Mr. Redmond of 17,000 dollars. Henry E. Russel, clerk for twelve years in the West- minster fire-office, is in custody charged with em- bezzling moneys paid him for the office to the amount offSOO. The arrival of the Indian mail, communicates the loss by fire of two Indiamen, bound for England, in- volving a a sacrifice of property to the extent of little short of £ 60,000 The unfortunate vessels were the George Armstrong, belonging to Liverpool, 491 tons; and the ship Cape Packet, for London, 340 tons. The Cap of Liberty," is the name bestowed by Mrs. Trollope on a widow's cap. Not a bad idea. That was a smart reply of the Roman General Marius to the Gaul who had sent him a challenge-" If you are tired of your life, you can go and hang yourself." On Thursday, at the Central Criminal Court, Samuel Cooper (aged 59), the soldier who lately made an odious charge against the Rev. H. C. Sellers, was found guilty of making that accusation falsely, and sentenced to be transported for fifteen years. Just before the rising of the court, the grand jury returned four true bills for manslaughter against Bartholomew Peter Drouet. Captain Kellet, R. N., has been suddenly ordered out to Behring's Straits, in search of the expedition under the command of Sir John Franklin. At a meeting of magistrates and influential inhabi- tants of Plymouth and Devonport, relative to the late inquiry respecting the Protestant Sisters of Mercy, a resolution was passed, declaring the material allega- tions to have been proved, and describing the inquiry as conducted by the Bishop as partial, unfair, and ill calculated to command public respect." The Sunday Times mentions the death of Mr. St. Lawrence, veterinary surgeon, from glanders, caught from a diseased horse, some of the discharge from which got into a scratch on his hand, whilst he was adminis- tering a dose. The flesh dropped from his )oties, and the eyes fell out of his head, before his death. It is said that the Ordnance Committee, of which Lord Hardinge is the head, have failed to induce the Treasury to assent to an arrangement by which the soldiery were to secure a wider application of their ration money. The plea is the necessity for economy. The largest pane of plate glass ever seen in the West of England has just been affixed in the shop front of Messrs. Butcher, ironmongers, Clare-street. It was supplied by Messrs. J. W. Hall and Co., of Broadmeac, and cost, we understand, ;C120.-B?-istol Mercury. In the county of Worcester there are 24 turnpike trusts, with a total length of roads of 522 miles, 3 furlongs, and 60 yards; the total of tolls is E31,833 of expenditure 30,596; and of debt and unpaid interest, £ 99,999. Mrs. Mary Tucker, of Brampford Speke, Devonshire, has bequeathed upwards of twelve thousand pounds to different charitable and religious institutions (selected, it is said, by Sir Robert Inglis); including EI,000 for repairs and alterations in the Brampford Speke church Barnstable infirmary, E600 Devon and Exeter hospital, £ 1,000; Blind Institution, Exeter, E,500 Christian ivnowiedge Society, £1,000; British and Foreign Bible Society, £ 500, &c. Sir T. Ackland, on Thursday night, obtained leave of absence, until after Easter, for Sir H. Inglis, on the ground of indisposition. He was happy to say that the hon. member was progressing uninterruptedly towards health. Mitchel, the convict, is to be removed from Bermuda to the Cape of Good Hope, the climate of the latter being better adapted to the pulmonary complaint from which he suffers. In future, regiments are to be stationed in each place two years instead of one. By this plan a saving of £ 100,000 a year will be effected in the three kingdoms. Her Majesty's surveying brig Pandora, Lieut. Com- mander Wood, is coming home from the Pacific, with a freight of gold diggins," to the amount of nine tons-or to the value of L900,000 sterling. This will give the lucky commander about £ 11,000 for the freightage, the admiral's share will be £ 2,875, and Greenwich Hospital will benefit to a like amount. Besides the appointment of Mr.Barkly to the govern- ment of British Guiana, we find that Mr. Higgins—the celebrated writer with the signature of Jacob Omnium in the Times newspaper, who so powerfully advocated the cause of the colonies-has been named as Governor of Sierra Leone, and Mr. Gregory appointed to the go- vernment of the Bahama Islands, vice Captain Matthew, recalled-very happily, no doubt, for the Bahama island- ers. Such appointments as these do certainly look like an earnest of some further kind consideration for the colonies.— The Barbadian of Jan. 10. The First Lord of the Admiralty has conferred the appointment at Grenwich Hospital, vacant by the de- cease of Captain John Simpson, upon Capt. Thomas L. P. Laugharne. We understand that Major-General Sutherland is to have the command of the the troops in the Mauritius.- Globe. Between February, 1818, and the same month in 1849, there have been 35 new journals started in Eng- land but 13 of them have departed to that bourne from which no newspaper returns. In an article on the necessity of medical provident institutions, a correspondent of the Medical Times says- Ir. Great Britain alone nearly 30,000 medical men toil without amassing a competency for old age." Mr. Gilbert A'Beckett, the well-known writer in Punch and in the Times, has been appointed a magis. trate of the Woolwich and Greenwich police courts, in the room of Mr. Jeremy, decased. The Scottish Central Railway Company have re- solved, by a very large majority, to run morning and evening trains on Sundays for public accommodation. A SENSIULE JURYMAN.—It will be scarcely credited that a person of respectable exterior presented himself at the court of adjourned quarter session, held in a neighbouring county, last week, as one of the jury, with a certificate from his medical attendant stating that he was ill in bed that he could not leave his house, which certificate he presented to the chairman himself amidst the laughter of the whole rourt.-Bristol Mercury SrrrosED MnWER AT I:ILINGTON.-On Wednesday morning, shortly after six o'clock, the body of a gentle n?n)y-atnred man between 50 and 60 rears of age was d.scnveredh.??h h. throat cut and in a pool of fil'bi in the rnrrCe to a field '?

The distance of the razor from the body leads to the suspicion of murder having been committed coupled wirh the fact of tl-,e purse beit)g fouiid empty. The body was identi- fied as that of Dr. Crook, of Camden-town. A coroner's inqnest has subsequently been held, and from the evi- dpncp adduced, there is little doubt that the unfortunate man committed the act of self destruction.

THE BEST APERIENT AND ANTIBILIOUS Medicine for General Use is Frampton's Pill of Health, which effectually relieves the stomach and bow- els by gentle relaxation, without griping or prostration of strength. They remove head-ache, sickness, dizziness, pains in the chest, &c., are highly grateful to the sto- mach, promote digestion, create appetite, relieve languor and depression of spirits; while to those of a full habit and free livers, who are continually suffering from drow- siness, heaviness, and singing in the head and ears, they offer advantages that will not fail to be appreciated. This medicine has for many years received the approval of the most respectable classes of society and in con- firmation of its efficacy, the following letter has been kindly forwarded to Mr. Prout, with permission to pub- lish it, and if requisite, to refer any respectable person to its author. To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand, London. Heavitree, Exeter, April 24th, 1814. Sir,—I feel pleasure in being able to bear my strong and unsolicited testimony to the excellence of your Frampton's Pill or Health,' which I consider a most safe, efficacious, and very superior general medicine. The widow of an officer, an elderly lady, and near relative "of mine, has used them-very rarely having recourse to other medicines for a long period of years. She has recommended them extensively, and in one instance in which she induced a person to adopt them, and supplied the first box herself, they have proved of extraordinary efficacy. I think that, perhaps, there is scarcely any other of the many patent medicines before the public of equal value as a friend in need;' certainly none possessed of superior claims. I shall be happy on all occasions to give them my individual recommendation and am, Sir, „ „ "Y9ur obedient Servant, <.<<< Sold by T. Prout, 229, Strand, London. Price Is. lid. and 2s. 9d. per box.

Mr. Howard's Succedaneum will keep good in India, and the Colonies for any length of time. LOSS OF TEETH. Mr. Howard continues to supply the Loss of Teeth, without springs or wires upon his new system of SELF- ADHESIOX, and without extracting any Teeth or Stumps, or giving any pain whatever. This method has procured him universal approbation, and is recommended by nu- merous Physicians and Surgeons as being the most in- genious system of supplying artificial teeth hitherto invented in all cases restoring Perfect Articulation and Mastication, and so perfectly natural in appearance as to defy detection by the closest observer. They adapt themselves over the most tender gums, or remaining roots without causing the least pain, rendering the pain- ful operation of extracting quite unnecessftry. They are so fixed as to fasten any loose teeth, where the gums have shrunk from the use of calomel or other causes. He also begs to invite those not liking to undergo any painful operation, as practised by most Dentists, to inspect his painless yet effective system. Those in- terested in the subject will find this statement of their superiority overall others to be entirely and scrupulously correct.

IMPORTANT TO THE PUBLIC.-THE POPULAR REMEDY. PARR'S LIFE PILLS. THE extraordinary properties of this medicine are thus described by an eminent physician, who s s After particular observation of the action of PARR'S PiLLS, I am determined, in my opinion, that the following are their true properties:— irst-They increase the strength, whilst most other medicines have a weakening effect upon the system. Let any one take from three to four or six pills every twenty- four hours, and. instead of having weakened, thev will be found to have revived the animal spirits, and to have im- parted a lasting strength to the body. Secon,lly-in their operation they go direct to the disease. After you have taken six or twelve pills you will experience their effect; the disease upon you will become less and less by every dose you take; and if you will persevere in regu- larly taking from three to six pills every day, your disease will speedily be entirely removed from the system. Thirdly-They are found, after given them a fair trial for a few weeks, to possess the most astonishing and invigora- ting properties, that they will overcome all obstinate com- plaints, and restore sound health; there is a return of good appetite shortly from the beginning of their use whilst their mildness as a purgative is a desideratum greatly required by the weak and delicate, particularly where violei.t purging is acknowledged to be injurious instead of beneficial. TO PERSONS GOING ABROAD. Th"se Pills are particularly recommended to all persons goin" abroad, and subjecting themselves to great change of climate. Officers of the Army and Navy, Missionaries, Emi- grants, &c.. will find them an invaluable appendage to their medicine chests, as a preventive of the attacks of those dis- eases so prevalent in our Colonies, especially m the West Indies where a small box recently sold for 10a. In America also its fame is getting known, and its virtues duly appre- ciated, causing an immense demand for it; and there is no country or port in the world where it will not speedily be- come an article of extensive traffic and general utility, as it may be had recourse to in all cases of sickness, with confi- dence in its simplicity, and in its power to produce relief. Nore are genuine, unless the words PARR'S LIFE PILLS" are in White letters on a Red Ground, on the Govern- ment Stamp, pasted round each box. also the fac-simile of the signature of the Proprietors "T. ROBERTS and Co., Crane-court, Fleet-street, London,' on the Directions Sold in boxes at I s. lid., 2s. 9d„ and family packets at lis. each, by all respectable medicine venders throughout the world.

ST. DAVID'S DAY IN LIVERPOOL.
ST. DAVID'S DAY IN LIVERPOOL. On Thursday week the anniversary of the Patron Saint of Wales, was celebrated, as usual, in this town, by the natives of the Principality, with every demonstra- tion of love to their country and their language. Most of the children (upwards of four hundred, constituting the boys', girls', and infants' schools.) who receive their daily instruction in the Welsh Schools, Russell- street, assembled at ten o'clock in the morning, and walked in procession to St. David's Church, accompanied by many of their benefactors, and headed by Richard Griffith, Esq., O. Williams, Esq. W. Jones, Esq., J. Jones, Esq., the Rev. W. Hughes, the Rev. J. It Griffiths, &c. Prayers were read in the Welsh language by the Rev. W. Hughes, incumbent; and the Rev. j. R. Griffiths, Cwinaniman, Carmarthenshire, preached a very suitable sermon from Jeremiah, 6th chap., 16th verse. After the service the procession was again formed, and returned to the school, where the customary examination of the pupils took place in a highly satis- factory manner. The dinner of this society took place in the evening, D'dd Gwyl Dewi," at Whiteman's Brunswick Hotel. ? Between 80 and 90 of the members of the society sat down to a most excellent repast, provided in the host's usual excellent style. Amongst those present we no- ticed the Rev. Mr. Hughes, minister of St. David's, the Rev. Mr. Griffitli, Cwmatnman, Mr. Griffith, and Messrs. Edwardes and D. E. Rowland, Birkenhfead College, Mr. Councillor Briscoe, Richard Griffith, Esq., J. Games, Esq., M.D., W. Jones, Esq., G. Jones, Esq., ofpwlllieli, Richard Williams, Esq., Messrs. Levi Williams, D. R. Jones, W. Jones, J. Jones, J. Edwards, D. Thomas, J. Parry, and Hugh Jones. During the dinner, Mr. E. Jones, the sucoessful candidate for the haYfTfjlveri at the last Eisteddfod at Abergavenny, played a variety of popular and appropriate airs on the Welsh harp. The president of the society, Mr. John Evans, occupied the chair and the vice-president, Mr. E. P. Jones, the vice-chair. Ample justice having been done to the inner man," and the cloth withdrawn, The President proposed \he health of her Majesty, the Queen, and said that all "Welshmen ought to feel proud in responding inasmuch as she was descended from the Tudors. "God save the Queen" was sung by the company standing. The president next gave The Welshman's hope, the Prince of Wales." Prince Albert and the Royal Family," and The Lord Bishop and clergy of the diocese." The Rev, W. Hughes, incumbent of St. David's, res- ponded. However adverse, he said, some of them might be to the connection between the church and the state, they must acknowledge that the state was very happy in the appointment of the present Archbishop of Can- terbury and he was glad to say that the selection of Dr. Graham to the see of Chester, was no less happy and judicious. Let the same discretion and discernment be observed in all our appointments, and the church would then have occasion to be proud of its connection with the state, and the cause of religion would be advanced throughout the length and breadth of the British em- pire. Injudicious appointments, he said, had paralysed the church in Wales. That anniversary reminded them of their native country:—In turning their eyes towards the hills of Cambria, such numbers of objects crowded upon them that they scarcely knew what to touch upon first. The tourist beheld a scenery there, which in boldness and variety could not be surpassed in Switzer- land or on the banks of the Rhine. The antiquary might go there and have a lesson from people descended from the aborigines of the British Isle. If some his- torians were correct, our ancestors, at a period of time coeval with the reigns of David and Solomon, kings of Israel, might traverse the whole of the island and say "we are monarchs of all we survey." The beauties of the Welsh language were well known and that lan- guage could produce eighty poems composed in the sixth century. The Welsh had their literature when other European nations had no letters, and their language could exemplify its present elegance, copiousness aud flexibility, when other nations knew nothing of poetry or prose. They readily acknowledged that their coun- trymen required more education but they were pur- suaded that there were mines of mental as well as mineral wealth in Wales, and let them have proper cultivation, the brightest intellects and the most bril- liant talents would soon show themselves. The morality and loyalty of the Welsh were almost without a parallel at present. Where did the learned judges of the land congratulate the grand juries more frequently on the lightness of the calendar :—where was the work of the assassin less heard of;—where were the services of the executioner less required where was the bible more read, or the sabbath better observed, than in Wales ? And again, as to their loyalty they had lately seen thrones tottering,—there was a commotion from the Elbe to the Danube,—from Hamburg to Naples,— Europe was filled with the din of arms and the crash of falling thrones. And at home, they had seen Liverpool smouldering, Manchester disturbed, Leeds uneasy, Sheffield restless, London in a ferment. At that time Carnarvon was quiet, Cardigan was loyal, and Carmar- then was quite in a proper mood to join in the national anthem, and sing" God save the Queen." Pa wlad weddi'r siarad sydd Mor Ian a Cbymru lonydd."—(Loud cheers.) Mr. J. Jones proposed theJieallb of the Rev. Mr. Griffith, thpreachelaof the day.r.- (Cheets.) The Rev. Mr. Griffith in responding said, he was sorry the duty had fallen upon so humble an individual as himself, but he had done the best he could for his country. (Cheers.) The Vice, in proposing the next toast, The Mayor and Town Council of Liverpool," said they were in- debted to that body for their noble grant of a piece of land to build a Welsh church upon. The moment the application was made it was granted, and accompanied with a respectable endowment. In the year 1840, we had an Eisteddfod here, and we were like Japheth in Search of a Father, on the look out for friends, when Sir J. Walmsley came forward and rendered us every assistance he also gave a splendid banquet at the Town-hall, to about 90 gentlemen connected with the Eisteddfod. Mr. W. Morris, in proposing the next toast-" The honorary members and the strangers who havehonoured us with their company" —said their presence showed the sanction the society received at their hands. He hoped ere long to enrol many of the latter as brother members. As to the honorary members, they could not spend a guinea for a better purpose, as it was the means of assisting the society, and preventing many of its poorer members, when overtaken by poverty, from becoming chargeable to the parish. Drunk with loud cheers. Richard Griffith, Esq., responded, concluding by calling attention to the efficient state of the Welsh schools, in Russell-street, at the examination of which he had been present, and where 400 children were educated in reading, writing, geography and history, and turned out fit for almost any station or employment this large town afforded. Mr. G. resumed his seat amidst loud cheers. Mr. D. E. Rowland returned thanks as one of the strangers present; and proposed, The union that subsists amongst Welshmen—may it never be broken." Dr. Games next rose, and, after some prefatory remarks, eulogising the principles upon which the society was conducted, the highly prosperous condition it was in, owing to the efficiency of its oiffcers, and con- cluded by reading the report, which stated that the number of sick payments during the past year was twenty-three, and the amount received was E123 18s.; amount paid to funerals £:5. Nine new members have been enrolled. Since the commencement of the Society, up to the present time, 511 members have been relieved, and the amount expended £ 4,081 9s. 9d. In funerals £1,705 10s. Number of deaths, 158, namely 99 mem- bers and 59 wives and widows; and the amount of money now in the hands of the society is E249 16s. In conclusion he adverted to the blessings the princi- pality enjoyed, owing to the religious education her children received, and the good Sunday schools had done throughout the land hence the loyalty and qui- etness that prevailed whilst other countries were torn asunder with internal and external commotions. He proposed The President, and success to the Cambrian Society," which was drank with enthusiastic cheers. The President returned thanks. Mr. Williams proposed 11 the health of the Viec-pre- sident," and spoke of the prominent part he took iu the affairs of the society, and the lively interest he always felt in promoting its welfare. (Cheers.) Mr. Jones returned thanks, and hoped to see many more young men joining the ranks, and thus. should. poverty or distress overtake, them, they would have a fund to fall back upon, and be, -in some measure, inde- pendent of relief from any quarter. He proposed, be- fore resuming his seat, the health of Mr. Richard Griffith. (Cheers and musical honours.) Mr. Griffith replied in suitable terms, and begged leave to propose the healths of Lord Kenyon, Sir Watkin W. Wynne, Thomas Barber, Esq., and other noble and generous benefactors of the Welsh charity schools. (Cheers. ) Song. The flag that'sbraved a thousand years, &c." Mr. J. Jones proposed" thc health of the Secretary and the other officers of the society, in a most excellent and appropriate speech, designating the secretary as the stipendiary magistrate of the society—one of the real working members, without whose efficient services they would frequently feet at a great loss. (Musical honours and loud cheers followed this toast.) The secretary responded, and gave some most satis- factory details of the progress of the society, and sat down amidst loud cheers. Song—March of the Men of Harlech, with harp ac- companimcnt. The Vice-Chairman proposed the Press" in a most characteristic speech, which we are sorry our limited space precludes us giving. Mr. Hughes, of the Mail, responded in a very neat speech, and spoke very eloquently of the anxiety that the press had in doing its duties. He was glad to hear the press spoken of so highly in the Cambrian society and was sure that in Liverpool it was anxious to publish everything in furtherance of the prosperity of the principality and its inhabitants. (Cheers.) He thanked them sincerely for the "manner in which they had responded to The Press. The health of the worthy hnst and hostess was given, and wishing them every prosperity. Mr. Whiteman returned thanks. The concluding toast J he Principality-mav her prosperity be equal to her loyalty," Was followd bv various other national and appropriate mottoes, songs, glees, &c., the company prolonging the festivities of the evening to a late hour. Several new honoraiy members weic adniittcd, besides about a dozen ordinary members.
ABDICATION OF THE RAILWAY…
ABDICATION OF THE RAILWAY KING. At the Half-Yearly Meeting of the Eastern Counties Railway Company held on Wednesday, at the London Tavern, when the directors entered the room it was instantly perceived that Mr. Hudson, the chairman of the company, was not amongst them. Upon discover- ing this, a loud and prolonged yell burst from all parts of the room, and the utmost excitement prevailed. As the directors, with Mr. Waddington, the chairman, at their head, advanced up the room, all sorts of cries were poured upon them, amongst which the most prominent were "Where's the chairman?" "Shame, shame!" Won't Hudson show ?" the intervals being filled up by groans both loud and deep. Mr. Waddington, M.P. took the chair, and was hissed and hooted for some time; at length he said :-Gent] enien, I was extremely desirous, and so were my colleagues, that Mr Hudson should have attended here this day;—(cheers)—and the first intimation that I received that he would not be present was on Monday morning last. Here the uproar again drowned the chairman's voice. One shareholder cried out, He is ashamed to come forward." Silence being again restored, The Chairman proceeded Gentlemen, I received a letter from him on Monday morning last, and imme- diately on the receipt of that letter I convened a meet- ing of the directors resident in London. I read to them the letter which Mr. Hudson had forwarded to me, and we agreed upon a letter which I should send to him in return. I requested him to give me a. reply to that and. I cannot account for it-it may be that-Mr. Hudson is not at home—(roars of laughter)—I say, gentlemen, it may be that Mr. Hudson is not at home; at all events, his not replying has placed me in a very painful posi- tion this morning. I will take the opportunity of read- ing Mr. Hudson's letter to me, and my reply thereto. I wish to say at the outset that, in conducting the pro- ceedings of this day, the directors who surround me have only one desire-that you should know as much of this concern as they know themselves. (Cheers.) The letter from Mr. Hudson is to this effect:- My dear Sir,—As I feel I cannot go strongly along with you in reference to the steam-boat question, I have made up my mind not to attend the meeting on Wednes- day next. I sincerely wish you well through it. (Laugh- ter, and cries of No doubt he does.') I hope, if any attack is made on me, you will, if you can, defend me. With reference to your company, I unfortunately hold a large stake, and bought at a very great price, and lose terribly by the concern. They invited us—they were in a ruined condition, both as to stock and credit." (Signed) GEO HLDSOX. Ncwby Park, Thirsk, Feb. 2.5, 1849." The Chairman then read a letter which he had written on behalf of the directors, in reply, in which he said, it appears to us, that as you have determined on re- signing your seat, it would be better for you to do this previous to the meeting. Should you concur in this, and send me the resignation to be at the board prior to the meeting, you can give such reasons for the step as you wish, and I will make them known The Chairman then proceeded—Gentlemen, I waited with great anxiety this morning for a reply to that let- ter. Our secretary has been at the telegraph oiffce, endeavouring to communicate with York, to know if Mr. Hudson had received my letter, and if he had for- warded a reply. I took the precaution of sending one copv to Newby Park, his private residence, and another to York. Our secretary has not been able to get an answer, as he has been informed that the telegraph wires are out of order. (Roars of laughter, and a voice, who pulls the wires.") Well, gentlemen, I think that this will satisfy you that I am here to-day in the chair, not by choice. I hope it will convince you—if you should think that I am not otherwise entitled to a fair and impartial hearing. (Cheers.) The business then proceeded, and a committee was appointed to investigate their affairs. A very strange statement (says the Times), with re- gard to Mr. George Hudson, appears in a report of a meeting of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway, which was held at York on Monday last. The charge publicly made against Mr. Hudson is-that he, being chairman of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway had sold to that company 2800 shares in the Great North of England line at prices averaging to per share above what they might have been bought at in the mar- ket. If this accusation be true, Mr. Hudson coolly pocketed at one swoop fl4,000 at the cost of those whose interests he was, by every tie of honour and of common honesty, bound to protect. Should the charge be made out, he will stand precisely in a situation of a broker in the city who debits his principal with produce at a rate of 25 per cent. above the market price of the day, and pockets that 25 per cent. for his own use. The Great North of England Railway was purchased by the chairman and directors of the Newcastle and Darlington Railway upon very extravagant terms. These terms were, that for each £100 share the share- tioldir- should in 1850 be paid E250; for each £ 40 share, ;CIOO for each E30 share, £75; and for each jEl-5 share, f37 10s. To raise the necessary capital for this arrangement a stock was created of 159,000 shares, of £ 25 each, called the Great North of England Pur- chase Shares," which were to bear six per cent. interest until the year 1850. Mr. Hudson assured the company that the six per cent. would ultimately be regained by the Newcastle and Darlington directors if they pur- chased the Great North of England shares" between the period of amalgamation and 1850 at reduced prices. The arrangement was concluded. It is stated that no intelligence could be procured from the directors as to the purchase of these Great North of England" shares until last week, when, among other items, were- "3,790 E15 shares, averagiilg E34 19s. 9d per share, £ 14 paid 132,611 10 0" These 3790 E15 shares were bought by the company at £21 premium or more. Now, from Oct. 1846, to Dec. 1848, these very shares were quoted on the Lon- don Stock Exchange, and sold at an average of fl6 1.5s. The question then arose, who were the fortunate sellers ? Who was it that had benefited by the difference between the market price of the day, and the rate of purchase paid by the company ? We will let Mr. Hudson answer this question, when it was proposed to him at the meet- ing, in his own words. Mr. Hudson said—" He had not the books there, and could not, therefore, inform Mr. Prance who was the seller. He would tell them candidly at once that he had had 2800 of these £ 15 shares; that was all he had had of them and if he had disposed of them to the company at a larger price than he ought to have done, he should be disposed to do whatever the shareholders thought would be just and fair." Mr. Hudson was stopped with the stern reply- This is not a question of money, but of character Subsequently, and after an attempt had been made to get rid, by a side-wind, of the appointment of a commit- tee, Mr. Hudson is reported to have said—" He might have got wrong in the early stage of these share tran- sactions, but, if he had made an error in this instance, he had been right in many others. 7? had never d- rected his (!?!<M?t to thi3 ?a)-CM?r ?M<M<?, and if he had made an error he was ready to refund the money." We remember to have heard of many such offers at the bars of police courts, but magistrates are slow to admit them as a palliation of crime. It is sug- gested, reasonably enough, if Mr. Hudson, on his own confession, be convicted of having foisted off on the company 2800 E15 shares at an unfair price, how many has he also disposed of on the like terms of the i 100 the £40 and the f30 shares ? The matter is under in- vestigation before the committee, and we shall shortly know the result. The Times adds—" All things would seem to portend that this reign is over. The bladder shows symptoms of collapse. The clay feet tremble beneath the image of brass, and all men foretel an impending ruin. Mr. Hudson, however, can yet save himself if his hands be pure and his conscience void of offence. We sincerely hope it is so."

Set up Tomkins as well as Pope and Dryden for a model, and have an eye to your pot-hooks.

DREADFUL WRECK OF AN EMIGRANT…
DREADFUL WRECK OF AN EMIGRANT SHIP. 1 NEARLY 200 LIVES LOST. HARWICH, SUNDAY.—With the deepest regret we have to record one of the most frightful catastrophes that probably ever occurred on this part of the English coast, viz., the total loss of a large emigrant slirp, on the Long Sands, with nearly 200 souls on board, during the tempestuous and fearful weather on Wednesday week. The ill-fated vessel was the bark Floridian, 500 tons burden, Mr. E. D. Whitmore master, from Antwerp, She was the property of Mr. E. D. Hulbert, of New York, and had been chartered by a German company for the conveyance of emigrants to the Luited States. She was announced to sail from Antwerp last Thursday week, but for some reason she was delayed till the fol- lowing Sunday, when she left that port and proceeded down the river. She, however, did not finally take her departure from the coast until Tuesday. The num- ber of emigrants that had taken a passage by her at Antwerp, and had gone on board before she weighed anchor, is stated to have been from 176 to 200. They comprised young, respectable German agricultural la- bourers, with their wives and families and many me- chanics amongst the number on board were from 50 to 60 women and between 20 and 30 children. The ship was worked by a crew of nearly 20, part of whom were Englishmen, commanded by a Captain Whitmore, a surgeon being on board to attend the emigrants. It was late on Tuesday evening when the Floridian put out to sea. Daybreak brought fearfuL .weather; the wind had sprung up terrifically, with a great fall of snow, and a heavy rolling sea. The ship kept on her course, the intention being to make for the South Foreland light, running under reefed foresail and fore- topmast staysail, and the main spencer. Although the storm increased in fury almost every hour, no alarm was manifested for the safety of the ship until about three o'clock, when (according to the statement of one of the seamen saved) the chief mate expressed some misgivings as to the course they were then pursuing, and, calling to the second officer, requested him to take charge of the watch while he went below to look into his coast pilot directory." Scarcely had he quitted his post before the ship struck with terrific force; so great, indeed, that her planks and false keel immediately rushed up alongside. A scene of horror instantly pre- sented itself on deck the emigrants hastened on the deck in frantic dismay. Within a few moments of the vessel striking the sea broke into her hull, blowing up the hatchways, and sweeping many of the poor crea- tures overboard, while others were drowned in their berths, being unable to rise from the effects of sea sickness. Captain Whitmore, perceiving the inevitable destruction of his ship, gave orders to his men to launch the boats. The first boat broke adrift the moment it was launched, and, it is said, capsized directly with two men who were in it. The moment the second boat was lowered the captain jumped into it with Mrs. Whitmore (his wife). This led to a desperate rush towards the craft. Some 20 or 30 poor creatures, men and women, leaped from the quarter-deck of the foundering ship in the boat; the result was, that it also instantly capsized, and the whole party was precipitated overboard and lost. The crew took the rigging, to which they lashed themselves, and upwards of one hundred of the emigrants congregated on the quarter deck. Here they had not been more than an hour before the ship broke in two, amidships. The main-mast fell over the side with a fearful crash, and a tre- mendous sea carried away the whole of the quarter- deck with the mass of human beings on it. A frightful shriek filled the air, and the next moment the unfortu- nate creatures were struggling in the deep. By great efforts eight or ten were rescued by the men who had secured themselves in the rigging. The moment the ship broke in two, her cargo, mostly merchandise, floated out and intermingled with the drowning suffer- ers. For some time men, women, and children were to be seen floating about in packages. Ere night had set in, however, all had disappeared. The then sur- vivors, about 12 in number, continued in the rigging of the foremast, which, with the fore part of the vessel, was all that remained of the wreck, the whole of the night; they had been frozen to death, and their bodies were dangling in the rigging. All that day the same fearful weather existed, and not the least aid could be rendered to those who still existed in the rigging. They could see vessels passing at a distance, but they were too far off for the crews to observe their situation. Thursday night and the greater portion of Friday passed away, yet no help came. Only four now remained, three sailors and one passenger the other two were frozen to death in the course of the preceding day and night. About 7 o'clock great was their joy at per- ceiving the approach of a vessel, which proved to be Her Majesty's revenue-cutter Peterel. The crew be- longing to her, by direction of the commanding officer, lowered their boat and pushed off to the spot, the heavy sarf beating round the wreck hi such a manner as to render the running of the cutter alongside the wreck exceedingly dangerous. After considerablc difficulty the poor fellows were got off and taken on board the revenue-cutter, where everything was done for their comfort. They were in a deplorable state of exhaustion and party bereft of their senses. Their hands and feet were severely frostbitten, and how they escaped with their lives appears most remarkable. The Peterel made for this port with all sail, and arrived about 11 o'clock at night. Mr. Billingslev, Lloyd's agent and Vice- Consul for the Belgian Government, afforded the poor fellows every attention that was possible by placing them in comfortable quarters. The names of the sea- men saved are Henry Hill, William Harry, and a Swede, name unknown. The fourth is one of the emi- grants, apparently a mechanic. He has been deranged ever since he has landed. From accounts received from Brightlingsea, a small fishing village near Wivenhoe, we hear that a Colchester vessel lost five hands in an attempt to rescue some of the sufferers. The noble fellows saw the quarter deck carried away with the emigrants on it. They immeniately pushed off in their boat with a view of saving some of them, but had scarcely got a few stroks when a heavy sea caught their craft, upset it, and the whole of them met with a watery grave. w.

BARON PLATT AND THE BERKSHIRE COUNTY MA- GISTRATES.—Mr. Baron Platt commenced the assizes on the Oxford circuit, at Abingdon last week, having refused to sit at Reading, owing to the inconvenience of the courts. In his charge to the grand jury, he alluded to the subject. He grieved to say that it had been found necessary to remove the assizes, and transfer them to Abingdon, by reason of a want of decent accommodation for the administration of justice, at Reading. When he had the honour of appearing before them in the same capacity three years ago, the courts of Reading were complained of, and at that time he was apprised that the magistrates were on the point of taking the matter into consideration, and, as he understood, were to provide a place for the administra- tion of justice, and he then congratulated them on such a prospect. In the course of the present year, however, he heard with much pain that a small proportion of the county had succeeded in deferring that decency so necessary for public business, and on the ground that the rate-payers could not bear the expense because the farmer had so much to contend against in these limes. I He was informed that the estimates for the new courts fell within E5,000 and in this wealthy county a farthing rate produced E700, so that this great benefit to the i county could be accomplished by the extension of a farthing rate over a period of ten years. The principal objection to the courts of Reading was, that they afforded no accommodation to the public, many of whom were compelled to attend by subpoenas and liable to fines. He would ask whether it was to be tolerated that a wife of a poor labourer, compelled to attend the assizes, should have no seat or even protection from the weather ? It was a well known fact, that in bad weather many were obliged to stand outside the building, and though the magistrates and jury were accommodated, no one else could get a seat. Surely such a state of things ought not to exist; and feeling a conviction that the public were trampled upon, he conceived it to be his duty to communicate to the Crown what he knew upon the subject, and he regretted that for a time it had been found necessary to remove the assizes to- to Abingdon. Surely it could not be the beggarly rate which was the obstacle to new courts—was it, then, on local ground s that they were objected to ? was it to obtain political influence on a future occa-ioyi ? If so, it would be the duty of her Majesty's Government, and deserving of their attention, to inquire whether persons, who so prostituted their influence, should be allowd to remain in the commission of the peace. (Great sensa- tion.) [B. Wroughton, Esq. one of the magis- trates, interfered at this point, and expressed a hope, which elicited some approbation from the grand jury, that his lordship would allow a reply to his observn- tions.] His lordship expressed his surprise that, sil. ting there as the representative of his Sovereign, he should meet with such an interruption, and little did he expect to hrar a murmur of approbation from the magis- tracy around him and he would venture to remind the gentleman who addressed him, that, according to the law of the land, he who interrupted a judge in the px. ercise oi ins duty was liable to imprisonment. He had felt it to be his duty to address the observations which had fallen from him and, in conclusion, would only observe that, whatever mi?ht be the situation of any ?entteman, the laws would not be diverted from the ritrht hand or the left, but must be vindicated and Up- held. Previous to leaving, Lord Barrington, chairman of the quarter sessions, begged, on behalf of the mao-js- tracy. to mention that his lordship had been misirv formed as to the cost of erection of new courts, and to assure him that there was net a single magistrate who was actuated in the discharge of his public duties by iany political feeling.
