II HOUSE OF LORDS-Thumdat , Fkb . 5 . "EheThe Earl of DiiJiot'siE biought up the report of the "Omit imimtieeon Railway Bills ; which was to tile effect . latitat the standing order , requiring that one-tenth of ue aue amount of capital subscribed be deposited , should « sns suspended with respect to such railway bills as nail tall commence in the House of Lords this session fhathatnosuch bills should be read a first time nntii ne-tue-twentietk ofthe amount subscribed should be decositosited ; and a further one-twentieth before the bill biionliioald be read a third time ; and that no bill should ee ree received after Monday , February 23 rd . The noble sari girl gave notice that he should draw the attention of lue hue house to the subject to-morrow .
Ti The tarl of Cuxcab . tt then rose to move for the ippoppointment of a select committee to inquire into lheTiiemana » emcnt of the medical charities in Ireland , m at a speech of some length , reviewed the existing rttatrtate of the laws applicable to the relief of the iiiiefcick poor and the destitute in Ireland , and moved tor 'Or a committee to inquire into their operation . _ T . The Duke of Welusgtos assented ; and the moiiooion was agreed to . T The committee was then appointed , and their lordliaipaips adjourned . E HOUSE OF COMMOSS-TncKsnAV , Fed . 5 . A A new writ was orderedfor the borough of Uuckmg-Hatiam , in the room of Sir T . Fremautle , who had ae-[ Depoepted the Chiltern Hundreds . ... _ . 5 Mr . Christie presented a petition m favour of the ! TaTed Hours ' BilL PEiVAL ENACTMENTS .
I Mr . Watsos then moved for leave to bring in a Ibilbill for the further repeal of enactments imposing ipaipains and penalties on her Majesty ' s Roman CatholucBcBUbjccts on account of their religion . i Sir James Graham said that a . bill similar to that iprtproposed by the hon . and learned member had been llaitod on the table of the House of Lords by the Lord iCbChancellor . It was , therefore , a subject for the cenisidsideration of the hon . and learned member whether , nnnnder such circumstances , he would persevere in bihis motion . Sir Robert Isgus remarked , that the speech of Si Sir James Graham , had proved too clearly that ey every fear which he had entertained was now realized b * by the policy adopted by her Majesty ' s present
give reroment . He therefore urged on Mr . Watson , and oi on other gentlemen who had similar schemes of reforix matisn to bring forward , the propriety of considering w whether their object would not be more effectually a answered by leaving their projects in the hands o : of the present government . Mr . Watson ' s bill , he si said , -would eventually repeal the Act . of Supre-0 macy—which would enable Roman Catholic bishops to a assume the titles now belonging to the prelates ofthe e established church in England and in Ireland—which < a would legalise religious precessions , while political p processions were prohibited—which would authorise i the existence ofthe monastic orders in Great Britain 9 sad Ireland , and which would repeal that clause in
f the Relief Bill which provided for the expulsion of 2 all Jesuits from the united kingdom . He concluded f by repeating his opinion that those gentlemen who ] hid schemes for a blessed reformation in church and i state might rely with more confidence on Sir J . < Graham and Sir ft . Peel as allies , than they could i npon Lord J . Russell or any other gentleman on the Opposition benches . Sir James Geaham denied that the government had adopted Mr . Watson ' s bill , or that the Lord Chancellor ' s measure contemplated the repeal of the Act of Supremacy . Lord John Massers declared his intention of suppotting the present bill . Mr . O'Cosxeix supported the bill . Thev had no
punishment for being an Atheist , or for being a Deist ; there was no law against expressing opinions of the most anti-Christian character ; but there was a law to punish virtue ; they had a law to punish devotion to God , and the exercise of the highest qualities of human nature , fie thanked the right hon . baronet ( Sir J . Graham ) for the course he had taken on the subject . m Lord ^ Jons Russell thought it was worthy of consideration whether or not the penalties might be repealed , by which the establishment of monastic orders is restricted , substituting registration and visitation for prohibition . Leave was given to Mr . Watson to introduce the
The Lord Advocate also obtained leave to introduce a bill to provide for the abolition of the exclusive privileges of carrying on merchandise , and of exercising trades in burg h * of Scotland . Mr . Stafford O'Bbies moved the issue ofthe two writs for Dorsetshire , in the room of Lord Aakley and Mr . Start , which were ordered .
BONE-CRUSHING . Mr . Christie withdrew his motion for "copies of any papers or reports bjr Mr . Chadwick , secretary to the Poor Law Commissioners , by Mr . Parker , late assistant commissioner , or by any other assistantcommissioner , on the subject of bone-crushing in union workhouses , " on the suggestion of Sir J . Graham , that though there was a memorandum by Mr . Chadwick on the subject , it was not signed with his name , but was a confidential communication from him , as a subordinate officer of the government , to his superiors , and that it would be contrary to usage and the interests of the public service to publish such Confidential communications . The house then adjourned .

Gentlemen , —It has been my painful duty to resi gn the representation of the county * of Dorset . My address , a copy of which I have tranimitted to you , will explain tin seasons that have led me to thii result . I deeply regret my retirement from the occupations and pursuits oi puhHc life ; hat on no account do I so much regret it as that I am thereby compelled to relinquish the care of that measure , to which you are so ardently and so justly attached , for the limitation of the hours of labour . But yon must not despair : there will be found other insa to undertake this righteous cause ; and , meanwhile , your true and excellent friend , Mr . fielden , has resolved to move the bill to a second reading . I exhort yon to persevere in the demand yon hare made ; and , whatever interval yon may accept by way of preliminary experiment , to abate nothing at last of the limitation to ten hours ; it it both just and necessary ; and yon ask no more than that which every one opealy or secretly assents to .
In promising yon my continued and nnduninishf d efibrts , I may now , I fear , bepromiting hut little of ralu *; it Is , however , all that I have power to offer , and , by God's blessing , you shall have the best that I can give . I r « - joice , sincerely and thankfully rejoice , that my resignation , the last act of my public life , the last at least so far as I can see , has been to advance a measure which , if there be justice or humanity remaining , must render the concession ofthe Ten Hours' Bill not only certain but immediate . Believe me , gentlemen , Tour very sinter * friend and servant , London , Feb . 2 , 1816 . Asblet .

Dreadful Shipw Reck-Loss Of The Cataraqu...
DREADFUL SHIPW RECK-LOSS OF THE CATARAQUE EMIGRANT . SHIP - FOUR HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN LIVES LOS 1 .
Thc following particulars of the loss of the . above vessel are taken from the Port Philip and Hobart Town papers , received at Lloyd s : " It is our melancholy duty to lay before the public the particulars of the most awful shipwreck which has ever occurred m these colonies-the total ivreck ofthe emigrant ship Cataraque upon the ironbouud coast of Jung ' s Island . "The following particulars are from Mr . Guthrie , the chief mate , who , with his eight fellow-survivors , reached the shore almost in a state of nudity , having lost everything they possessed . "The Cataraque , Captain C . W . Finlay , sailed from Liverpool on the 20 th April , with 369 emigrants , and a crew , including two doctors , M . C . Carpenter , and Edward Carpenter ( brothers ) , of forty-six souls . The emigrants were principally from Bedfordshire ,
Staffordshire , Yorkshire , and Northamptonshire . About 120 of the passengers were married , with families , and in all seventy-three children . On the 3 rd of August , atscven in the evening , the ship was hove to and continued lying to until three , a . m ., of 4 th . At half-past four , it being quite dark and raining hard , blowing a fearful gale , and the sea running mountains high , the ship struck on a reef , situate on the west coast of King ' s Island , entrance of Bass s Straits . So opportunity had offered for taking an observation to enable the captain to ascertain the ship ' s course for four days prior to tho ship striking , and from the dead reckoning kept it was presumed that the vessel was in HI degs . 22 min . East longitude , and 32 deg . 17 min . South , which would make her about 66 or 70 miles from King ' s Island . Innn - diately the ship ship struck she was sounded , and four feet water was in the hold . The scene of
confusion and misery that ensued at this awful period it is impossible to describe . All the passengers attempted to rush upon deck , and many succeeded in doing so , until thc ladders were knocked down by the workings of the vessel , when the shrieks from men , women , and children from below were terrific , calling on the watch on deck to assist them . Tne crew to a man were on deck the moment the ship struck , and were instantly employed in handing up the passengers . Up to the time the vessel began breaking up , it is supposed that between 300 and 4 . 0 U were got on deck by the extraordinary exertions oi the crew . At this time the sea was breaking over the ship on the larboard side , sweeping the decks , every sea taking away more or less ot the passengers .
About five a . m . the ship careened right over on her larboard side , washing away boats , bulwarks , spars , and a part of the cuddy , and literally swept the decks . At this critical period the captain gave orders to cut away the masts , hoping the vessel would right to enable the crew to get on deck the passengers left below . Everything that could , under the circumstances , was done to get the ves s el upright , but all to no purpose . The passengers below were now all drowned , the ship being full of water , and the captain gave those on deck directions to cling to that part of the wreck then above water until daylight , hoping that the spar would be of some service iu making a breakwater under her , and thus enable the survivors to get onshore in the morning .
When day broke wc found the stern of the vessel washed in , and numerous dead bodies floating around the ship , some hanging upon the racks . Several of the passengers and crew ( about 200 altogether ) were still holding on to the vessel . The sea was breaking over , and every wave washing some of them away . About four in the afternoon the vessel parted amidships , at the fore part of the main rigging , when immediately some 70 or 100 were launched into the tumultuous and _ remorseless waves . The survivors ran ridge lines along the side of the wreck to enable them to hold on . The remains of the upper deck now began to break up , and wash away . A buoy was now made , and floated
towards the shore ; but it could not be got nearer than twenty yards , owing to its getting entangled with the sea-weeds on the roeks , and there was no one on shore to catch it , and secure it on the sand . The fury of the waves continued unabated , and about five tho wreck parted by the fore-rigging , and so many souls were emerged in the water , that only 70 were left crowded on the forecastle , who were then lashed to the wreck . The sea continued breaking over them , the wind raging and the rain heavy all night , and thus the poor creatures continued . Numbsrs of them died and fell overboard , or sunk and were drowned at the place where they were lashed .
" When day broke the following morning , it was discovered that only abaut thirty were left alive . The sea was now making a clean breach into the forecastle , the deck of which was rapidly breaking up . About this time , while numbers were helplessly clinging to the bows , and continued dropping off without the possibility of recovery , the captain tried to reach the shore , but was unable to accomplish so arduous a task , aud with some assistance he regained the wreck . The lashings of the survivors were now undone in order to give them the last chance of life . Mr . Thomas Guthrie , the chief mate , now on thc spritsail yard , was washed out to the bowsprit . He saw " the captain and second mate and
steward clinging at the bows , with about eighteen or twenty dead bodies on the fragment of the wreck . Mr . Guthrie was now driven to a detached part of the wreck , but soon found it impossible to live with such a sea breaking over , and , seizing a piece of plank under his arm , leaped into the water , and was carried over the reef , and got on shore . He found a passenger , who had got on shore during the night ; and one of the crew , John Robinson , plunged into the water when he saw the mate on shore , and , partly swimming and partly driven , reached land ; five other seamen followed , and landed dreadfully exhausted . Almost immediately after the vessel totally disappeared . Thus , out of 423 souIs ] on board , only nine were saved . "
The names of those saved are Mr . Thomas Guthrio , chief mate ; Solomon Brown , emigrant , John Roberts , William Jones , Francis Milan , John Simpson , John Robertson , and Peter Johnson , able seamen ; and William Blackstock , apprentice . The following is a list of the passengers furnished by Dr . Patterson , the emigration agent , with the exception of eight or nine , whose names it was impossible to make out correctly , the paper from which they were taken being in a mutilated state : — "Thomas and Ann Allen , and four children ; William and Ann Allen , and two children ; R .

The Alleged Incest And Murder At Greenwi...
THE ALLEGED INCEST AND MURDER AT GREENWICH . ' _ . " On Friday , William RichardBon , formerly assistant to the Astronomer Boyal , at the Observatory , Greenwiehpark , and Ann Maria , his eldest daughter , were brought up on remand at the Greenwich police-court , and placed before Messrs . Jeremy and Grave , the sitting magistrates , charged with secreting tho birth , and privately burying at night in the garden ofthe male urisoner , a child which his daughter , the female prisoner , Lad given birth to at a house in Southwark , and which child she had home to the male prisoner , under circumstances most horribly revolting .
The first witness called was Elizabeth Reynolds , who deposed that she is a married woman , and resides at No . S , Weston-place , St . Thomas ' s-street , Borough . Mr . Richardson and the female prisoner came to her house , lie said he wanteds lodging for his daughter , aud nurse to attend to her , as she was near her confinement . This wa » on the 13 th of September last . He wished for a comfortable and quiet place , and a bargain was entered into to pay as . per week for a single room , and 5 s . more for attendance . He gave his card , and said he would consult Mrs . Richardson , and call again . Mr . and Mrs . Uicliavdson called two days afterwards , and engaged the apartinents on ihe proposed terms . The female prisoner took possession of the apartment , aud was delivered on thc loth of September last of a male child . The child died
ten days after its birth . The child when horn was strong and healthy , and after thefirst week was seized with sudden illness . It was taken with violent screaming , and continued in that state all night . Iu the morning Mr . Wood , of Union-streut , Southwark , surgeon , was sent for . Ho came at half-past twelve . He was present again at eleven on Friday night , aud on Saturday morning , at lour o'clock , Its mother called witness , and said the iniant was dead , Mr . Kicbardson and Ms wife came afterwards , and between three and four o ' clock in the afternoon they went away , together . Thc infant was subsequently taken away at night by Mr . Kicbardson in a blue bag . Witness told Mr . Richardwuthat it was necessary to gut a certificate and have the birth registered , as also its death . He said be had done so , aud had given the child a name , hut would take the body home , to save
expense . ltichardson asked the witness if she recollected what he said when she told him of the child ' s death ; and she replied that" lie would not have lost it for £ 50 . " Thomas Jones , labourer , deposed that Air . Kichardsou employed him to dig a hole in his garden ; this was in last September , on Thursday or Friday . Thinks it-was September . The prisoner said he was going to London , lie said to witness , " Dig a hole in the corner-of thc gravel path . " He dug it three feet long and four jieep . He was to . get it dona against the prisotrt-rrctui-nejl , as he meant to have a bit of a drain to draw the water from thc house ; Witness dug the hole , and prisoner came home between five aud six that evening , and said it would do very well . It was open three days , aud on tho Monday following 1 filled in thc giavel by his order . He said he had altered Ml mind , and should not have the drain , but did not say why some ofthe gravel had been filled in .
Stephen Vatney , bricklayer , diposedtbat ho was employed by Richardson , ou the 27 th of September . Witness Wdnt in the evening , and asked for Mr . Richardson , The daughter said that her mother and father were gone to London , and would return at nine ' o ' clock . Witness waited , and Mr . ltichardson returned carrying a coffin under his arm , wrapped in two silk handkerchiefs . The coffin was about two fuet long . Prisoner said he was sorry he had kept him waiting so long . They went into the house and sat down together . Prisoner , who was very warm , said that ho had walked all the way from London . During this he was putting the coffin under the sideboard , Ue took a chair , paid the men , and then witness . He then said , " Call next morning . " Witness took no verbal notice of the wffin . Witness saw no hole in the garden .
Amelia Richardson , aged fifteen , a very well-dressed girl , deposed that she lives with her mother and sisters in Friendly-place , New Town , Dcptford . On the 27 th of September she lived with her lather on Royal-bill , Greenwich . She saw a man dig a hole , there iu the garden . Witness held a light that night , at her father ' s request , between eight and nine o ' clock . Witness knew what was going to he done . Her sister Ann and her father went to the end of the garden together , and her fathur put the coffin into the hole , and put some gravel over it . She held the light . Nothing was said at the time . No conversation about the child's death had been before her . She asked what the hole was for , and herfather said "for the baby . " Her sister was much affected , cried , and said , "Poor little thing , " alluding to the baby . Her father has acted with great violence towards her as well as her sister , when not obeying his harsh commands .
Mr . Oak Mitchell said , he had made a post mortem examination of the body , aud had , since that , tried various tests , one of which was with the view of finding arsenic , but it had been unsatisfactory , and had puzzled bim . He had since consulted the coroner , who had determined to send the remains to London to undergo a strict examination by a most experienced practical chemist , in conjunction with Br . Leesbn , Forensic Lecturer at the London hospitals , and resident in Grsenwich . The prisoner said , in answer to the magistrate , that he wished to give , seriatim , a statement of facts from first to last concerning the charge . Mr . Jeremy said he was not bound to do so , but if he did , it would be taken down as evidence by the clerk , Prisoner ' s solicitor recommended him to refrain from doing io at present .
The prisoner said , however it might ait ' ect him in the eyes of the world , he wished the humble truth to appear . He wished , at all personal sacrifices , to go seriatim into avery fact . He never considered the birth or death of the infant had been concealed . He merely wished that the body should not he thrown out of the churchyard . It could have been more secretly disposed of in London . He had no thought tbat the remains would have been , disturbed , at least in his lifetime . In June his daughter was unwell . Dr . Sturton , of Nelson-street , Greenwich , attended her . He ( prisoner ) went into the country upon some business , in Yorkshire , and on his return he found that symptoms of her being pregnant presented
themselves . He stopped the medical treatment , in order that abortion should not ensue . His engaging a nurse and a doctor proved there was ho intention en his part to make a secret of tlie birth or death . His wife and daughter both had attended in engaging the apartments . He then read several letters from his wife , daughter , and son , showing the affection tbat subsisted iu the family , which proved nothing as to tha alleged charges . He concluded by saying he deeply regretted and repented of all the circumstances , particularly of his own conduct . He had done everything to provide well for a large family , and this was the only event he bad to deplore through life .
Tha female prisoner , on being ashed if she wished to say anything to clear herself , aaidshe was vtry sorry for what she had done , but it was her father who had compelled her to do so . Mr . Jeremy : To do what ! . Prisoner : To give way to my father . Mr . Jeremy asked her what she went to West-place for ? Prisoner said that she wished to say no more ; she had no desire to prosecute her father now . He had been guilty of similar conduct since her return home . Her mother and sister did not know cf his conduct . She had been at Mr . English's , a baker in Blisset-street , once at midnight for protection , fearing that her father would violate her . That was in December , 1844 , She wished to say no more . She was not willing to submit to him Her father and mother quarrelled tbat night ; she was frightened . Her mothorlefthome that night .
Amelia Richardson recalled . —Remembers her sister Ann going to the Greyhound Inn , Greenwich , one night silica the child was born , to get a bed . Her father went too . They could not get one and returned . She beard her father call Ann . He said" Come here . " Shesaid , " ! am not coming . " He said that if she did not come she should not stop in tho house another minute . She said " I doa't want to come . " He said , " Then go out directlyget your things and leave . " She was partly undressed ; she went out , and father followed her : they returned soon . The prisoners were then reman led for a week . The magistrates refused bail for either of them ,
Serious Charges Against A Stockbroker.—L...
Serious Charges against a Stockbroker . —Leeds , . Feu . 3 . —The greatest surprise was created in Leeds to-day by the apprehension of Mr . H . J . Jlarcus . of the firm of Marcus , Naylor , and Co ., on a charge of forgery . The examinations so far have been conducted before the magistrates in privacy , but the facts ofthe case are understood to be that the name of Darnton Lupton , Esq ., late mayor of Leeds , had been attached to a transfer of some London and Croydon Railway shares without his knowledge , the attestation to the signature being by Mr . Marcus On apprehending Mr . Marcus , we hear that he made a
desperate attempt at self-destruction , and it was only by the activity of Mr . Read , of the police force who dashed the bottle of laudanum in pieces , wlnc h the unhappy man had just raised to his lips , that the attempt was frustrated . Mr . Read ' s hand and Mr . Marcus ' s face were both cut in the straggle . After the examinations of to-day the case was adjourned , and the prisoner remanded until Thursday . Air . Marcus was not a member of the Stock Exchange , but held the office of chairman of the Sharebrokera ' Association . He is also one of the honorary secretaries ofthe Leeds Mechanics' Institution ,
^ Detebmihed Svicide . —About eleven o clock on Tuesday night , a most determined act of suicide was committed by a young woman , named Elizabeth Blake , whose friends are highly respectable , and reside at Lock ' s-fields , Walworth . It appears that the unfortunate creature left her homo on the afternoon of Tuesday , in a very depressed state of mind , caused , it is believed , by the state in which she was , expecting hourl y to be confined . Late in the evening she was observed near thc ba * -in ofthe Canal , in the Old Kent-road , and about the time above stated , some one passing along the banks heard a loud splash in the water , and presently after something rose to tho surface . Fearing that it was an act of suicide on the part of some one , he gave an alarm , and the drags being procured , they were put into operation for about half { an hour , when the persons succeeded in vetting out the body . From the time which had unfortunately elapsed , all signs of life were gone * ,-and although prompt measures were adopted to promote her recovery , jtaey were of ao avail ,

GRBAT •¦ PHBtlC MBBTISO W OtASOOW , On Monday last , 2 nd inst ., a great public meeting of the unenfranchised inhabitants of Glasgow , and suburbs , was held in the City Hall , at eight p . m ., Mr . Jas . Clarkson in the chair , A letter of apology from Mr . Moir was read by Mr . Jas . Adams , and another from Mr . Henry Vincent . Both gentlemen heartily concurred in the objects ofthe meeting . Mr . Geo . Adams moved the first resolution , as follows : ¦—" That we , the unenfranchised classes resident in the city and suburbs of Glasgow , in public mee ting assembled , arc decidedly of opinion , that , according to tho acknowledged principles of tho British
constitution , no person ought to be called upon to take arms in defence of laws , in the making of which he has no voice ; we therefore can view the present intention ofthe Ministry to call out the militia regiments only as an act of the most flagrant injustice , while by far the greater number of those who , according to the exiting class made laws , are liable toservo , are denied the rights and privileges of citizenship ; and as an act of justice to ourselves and families , we thus publicly express our determination to resist , by every peaceful , legal , and constitutional means , any and every such attempt , until those rights and privileges are conceded to us , which , according to the laws of nature , arc our inalienable birthright . " Mr . John Bryan seconded the resolution , which was all but unanimously carried .
Mr . James Adams moved thc second resolution : — " That we are firmly convinced that the same reasons which now exist for raising armed forces , for the protection of our country both from foreign aggression and disturbances arising out of internal discontent , which are a dishonest and selfish course of policy towards other nations , aud a system oi unjust and partial legislation at home , will never cease , nor the principles of peace be securely and permanently established until , by the enactment of the People ' s Charter as the law of these realms , the whole male adult population shall be admitted within the pale of the British constitution , by which means the law of the nation will become a true reflex of the public mindand will . " The resolution having been seconded , was carried .
Mr . A . B . Cummins moved , and Mr . S . Brown seconded the third resolution , which was carried : — " That we view what is commonly called " Militia Protection Societies" as being , in point ot fact , only so many' means subservient to the protection and continuance of class despotism ; we are therefore determined not to shield , ourselves from tho operation of laws' so obviously opposed to every principle of reason , justice , and true constitutional freedom by any such method , which , at best , is but the substitution of a hired for a forced order of military slaves . But in lieu thereof we agree to raise , by voluntary subscriptions , a fund for the indemnification of those who may suffer loss by acting from conscientious motives , and that a committee of eighteen bo now appointed for that purpose . "
A committee of eighteen were then appointed . Mr . Duncan Sherrington moved thc adoption of a petition founded on , and in accordance with , the resolutions . Agreed to . Mr . Sherrington also moved— " That the petition be presented by Mr . Duncombe , M . P ., to the Ilouse of Commons , and by the Duke of Wellington to tho House of Lords ! " ( Great laughter and cheers . ) The " monster" meeting , which consisted of at least C 000 men , then separated , after giving a vote of thanks to the chairman , and three cheers for the Charter , throe lor Thomas Duncombe , M . P ., and three for Frost , Williams , and Jones .
DUMFRIES . A public meeting of the inhabitants of Maxwell town , was held < ln Tuesday evening last , in the Market-place of that burgh , to receive the report of the committee appointed at the Court Ilouse , by the anti-militia majority , whose triumph at the meeting held there was noticed in last week s Star . An unanimous and enthusiastic concourse of good men and true , numbering considerably upwards of a thousand , and constituting by far the largest meeting ever assembled in Maxwelltown , gathered together . Mr . Samuel Henry was called to the chair . The secretary of the committee then read the report of that body . The petition from the meeting against the embodiment of the militia , the committee reported had been forwarded , signed by the chairman , to W . Ewart , Esq ., M . P ., lor presentation ; and that gentleman has since intimated that he will present it on the first opportunity with pleasure . With
respect to the formation of an anti-militia society , the committee recommended their townsmen to refrain from joining any such association until the prospectus of tho National Protiction Society shall nave been published , when a meeting will be he ' id in Dumfries , under the auspices of the Working Men ' s * Association , to form a branch , and petition Parliament against the threatened conscription . This report was unanimously adopted . The chairman then called upon Mr . Wardrop , who addressed the meeting at considerable length , and with much ability , on the subject under consideration . A petition similar in its otject to the one sent from the Maxwelltown meeting , has been hawked about Dumfries in a private sort of way for a couple of days back . It emanates most probably from the League faction , as the Whigs are extinct in this quarter . The few who have seen it , think there is not much amiss with it . The unwonted modesty that has led the Leaguers on this occasion to
"Dogood by strength and blush to had it fame , " must be attributed to the raps on the snout the sneaking faction are . always sure of , the instant it is poked before the public . The . Dumfries and Maxwelltown Working Men ' s Association continues to thrive . More recruits have been enlisted by that body in the last two weeks than the six recruiting parties in town have entrapped for Queen Victoria in as many years . Measures have been taken to increase the efficiency of our Reading-room by the addition of a daily paper during the present session of Parliament .
NATIOJfAI , ANTI-MILITIA ASSOCIATION . This body met at the Parthenium , 72 , St . Martin ' slane , on Wednesday evening , February 4 th , * Mr . Milne in the chair . Messrs . Hornby , Johnson , Hall , J . Sides , T . Sides , Garrett , Reynolds , Pike , Salmon , Dall , Knight , and Outlay were added to the committee . Mr . O'Connor then re-stated the objects of the association , and the present state of the militia question * , he also stated his fixed conviction to be that thc militia would be embodied and called out , and the great necessity of firmness and union amongst the people in opposition thereto ; and congratulated
the meeting on the great demonstrations making throughout the country against the embodiment of the militia force . He concluded by urging all to exertion , as all were liable in some shape , and then success must crown their efforts . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . T . M . Wheeler then submitted a code of rules . He had . taken for its basis the census of 1841 , the last taken , and calculated that from the numbers to he drawn , and the . ratio of the population , a payment of five shillings per member would enable the association to give each member that might come under the ban of thc law £ 10 , to renew his goods , or support his family , should he be sent to prison : —

Theatre Royal, Marylebone. We Recently V...
THEATRE ROYAL , MARYLEBONE . We recently visited this popular templa of the drama . The enterprising lecsue has engaged JUr . White , and his highly-trained wild animals , who are performing in a grand spectacle , called " The Lion of the Desert ; or , the French in Morocco . " It is , as its name purports , a spectacle , well adapted to show off the great prowess of Mr . White and the docility of his animals . Mr . White , as Abdalhh , drives a huge lion harnessed to a triumphal car , and afterwards enters a den , in which are several animals of the desert , including lions , leopards , dsc . Their decility was here fully displayed , the lions fawning on Mr . White , and anon mnkiaga pillar for his head ; and the
leopards , dec , jumping about like so many kittens , fondling their keeper , and licking his face . The spectacle was eminently successful . Our friend Rayner as Ben fsinael , was evidently placed in a position unworthy his talents . At the close of the piece , Mr . White was called to the foot-lights , and cawe , leading a leopard thereto , and was greeted with loud marks of approbation . The pantomime , after a run of upwards of thirty nights , is as great a favourite as ever . The evening's entertainment concluded with the drama of " The Death Plank ; or , the Dumb Sailor Boy : " iu which Mrs . Campbell played with more than her usual ability . The drama was , as it deserved to be , triumphantly successful , and will boar repetition many times during the season .
ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE . Mr , Batty , the enterprising manager of this popular establishment , which is nightly filled with crowds of admiring visitors , notwithstanding the attractive nature of the present entertainments , has purchased two large elephants which are daily expected to arrive in England , when they will be introduced in a grand Oriental spectacle , in preparation , in a style of magnificence which will support the well-known reputation of Astley ' s .

Rotal Polttechsuc IssTiTUTiOK . — -The chemical lecturer of the above most excellent establishment , Dr . John ltyan , has , we are delighted t « see , resumed the subject of gensral chemistry , which has for aconsiderable time been set aside for that all-engrossing subject , the potato disease . His lecture on Thursday was on the subject of heat , introductory to an extended series , explanatory of the application of chemistry to the general purposes of life . We are more and more convinced of the high character and tho moral influence of this splendid institution , esp « cially while its professors take
so much pains to bring tho most abstruse subjects of science into such a plain and simple form . If we might offer to this talented lecturer a fitting subject for a future course , we nouhl suggest to him , as a text-hook , the report of tho Health of Towns' Commissioners , There he would find a wide and legitimate field for his powers as a medical or chemical leather . Dr . Bachoffner ' s lectures oa natural philosophy are the theme of praise from all who have heard him , and most justly so for the delightful way in whieh he blends simplicity with science is greatly to be commended , '
