House Of Lords—Mosdat, Fbb. 2. A Number ...
HOUSE OF _LORDS-Th-kmut , F _ e . 5 . Tbe Earl Of _Dalhovsie brought up the report ofthe Committee on Railway Bills ; which waa to the effect that the _sfcasvduig order , requiring tbat one-tenth of the amount of capital subscribed be deposited , should be suspended with respect to such railwav bills as shall commence in the House of Lords this session That no such bills should bc read a first time until one twentieth ofthe amount subscribed should be deposited ; aud a further one-twentieth before the bill should be read a third time ; and that no bill should beieeeivedaVter _Mondav _, February 23 rd . The noble earl gave notice that he * should draw theattention of the house to the subject _to-moi-row _.
The Earl of C _ AxcAnrr then rose to move for the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the management of the medical charities in Ireland . Ia a speech of 3 ome length , reviewed the existing state of the laira applicable to the relief of the sick poor and the destitute in Ireland , and moved for a committee to inquire into their operation . _TheUnkeofW-msGios assented ; and the motion was agreed to . . . _, The committee was then appointed , and their _l-ruships adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS-Tn-H snAT , Feb- 5 Anew writ was orderedfor the borough of liuc _^ - ham , in the room of Sir T . Fremantle , who had accepted the Chiltern Hundreds . . Mr . CunisTiE presented a petition in favour of the _Tenflonr- _'BilL
PENAL ENACTMENTS . Mr W _ tsox then moved for leave to bring in a bill for the further repeal of enactments imposing pains and penalties on her Majesty ' s Roman Catho-Kc-ubje _cts on account of their religion . Sir James G ______ t said that a bill similar to that proposed by the hon . and learned member had been laid on the table of the House of Lords by the Lord Chancellor . It was , therefore , a subject for the consideration of the hon . and learned member whether , under such circumstances , hc would persevere in Ms motion .
Sir Robert _Lvglis remarked , that the speech of Sir James Graham , hid proved too clearly that _eyery fear which he had entertained was now realized by the policy adopted hy her Majesty _' s present government _, fie therefore mrged on Mr . Watson , and ou other gentlemen who had similar schemes of reformation to bring forward , the propriety of considering whether their object would not be more effectually answered by leaving their projects in the hands of the present government . . Mr . _Watson ' s bill , he said , would eventually repeal the Act of Supremacy—which would enable Roman Catholic bishops to assume the titles now belonging to the prelates ofthe established church iu England and in Ireland—which would legalise religious precessions , while political processions . were profaibite- — -which would authorise the existence ofthe monastic orders In Great Britain and Ireland , and which would repeal that clause in the Relief Bill which provided forthe expulsion of
all Jesuits from the united kingdom . Hc concluded by repeating his opinion that those gentlemen who had schemes for a blessed reformation in church and state might rely with more confidence on Sir J . Graham and Sir ft . Peel as allies , than they could npon Lord J . Russell or any other gentleman on the _Opposition benches . Sir James Gc __ h __» denied that thegoverninent had adopted Mr . Watson ' s bill , or that the Lord Chancellor ' s measure contemplated the repeal of the Act of Supremacy . Lord John Max . vers declared his intention of supporting the present bill . Mr- _O'CoKXELi , supported the bill . They 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 . He thanked the right hon . baronet ( Sir J . Graham ) for the course he had taken onthe subject .
Lord Jons Rcsseix thought it was worthy of con- ' sideraiion 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 Sir . Watson to introduce the bilL The Lobd Advocate also obtained leave to introduce a bill to provide for the abolition of tbe exclusive privileges of carrying on merchandise , and of esiercising trades in burghs of Scotland . At * . Stafford O'Briex moved the issue ofthe two writs For _Ztoreetshire , in the room of Lord Ashley and Mr . Sturt , which were ordered .
BONE-CRUSHING . Mr . GHmsnB withdrew his motion for " copies ol any papers or reports by Mr . Chadwiek , secretary to the Poor Law Commissioners , by Mr . Parker , late assistant commissioner , or by any other assistantcommis-ioner , on the subject of bone-crushing in anion workhouses , " on the " suggestion of Sir 3 . Graham , that _though there was a memorandum by Mr . Chadwiek on the subject , it was not signed witb his name , but vas a confidential communication from him , as a subordinate officer ofthe government , to his superiors , and that it would be contrary to usage and the _interestsof the public service to publish such confidential communications . The house then adjourned .

I deeply regret my retirement from the occupations and pursuits oi public life ; baton no account do I so much regret it as that I am thereby compelled to relinquish the care of that measure , to wliich yoa are so ardently and so justly attach - -, for the limitation of the hours of labour . But you must not despair : there will be feuud other men t . undertake this righteous cause ; and , meanwhile , yonr true and excellent friend , ilr . Fielden , has _resolved to ___ ov _ the bill to a second reading . I exhort yon to persevere in the demand you have made ; and , whatever interval yon may accept by way of preliminary experiment , to abate nothing at last of _thelimitatxon to ten hours ; it is both just and necessary ; and yon ask ne more than tbat which every one openly or secret ! v assents to .

DREADFUL SHIPWRECK-LOSS OF THE CATARAQUE EMIGRANT S 1 I 1 P _~ f 0 _HUNDRED ArlD FOURTEEN LIVES LOST . The following particu _^ _phc _^ _-f _*^™ vessel are taken from the Fort 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 jn these _colonies-tho total wreck ofthe emi grant ship _Cataraciue upon thc ironbound coast of King ' s Island . "The f ollowing particulars are from Mr . Guthrie , the chief mate , who , witli 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 , at seven in thc evening , thc ship was hove to and continued lying to uutil three , a . m _., of __ th . At half-past _fonr , 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 , entraiice of Bass ' s Straits . No opportunity had offered for taking an observation to enable the captain to ascertain the ship ' s course for four days prior to the ship striking , and from the dead reckoning kept it was presumed that the vessel was in 141 degs . 22 min . East longitude , and 32 deg . 17 min . South , which would make her about 66 or 70 miles from King ' s Island . Immediately the ship ship struck she was sounded , and fonr 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 the ladders were knocked down by the workings of tho 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 thc 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 800 and 400 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 , even * sea tailing 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 , aud literally swept the decks . At this critical period thc captain gave orders to cut away the masts , hoping the ve ? sel would right to enable the crew to get on deck tbe passengers left below . Everything that could , under the circumstances , was done to get the vessel upright , but all to no purpose . The passengers below were now all drowned , the ship being full of water , and tbe captain gave thos . on deck directions to cling to that part of the wreck then above water until daylight , hoping that the spar would be of somo service in making a breakwater under her , ahd thus enable the survivors to get onshore in the morning .
When day broke we found the stern of the vessel washed In , and numerous dead bodies floating around the ship , some hanging upon the racks . Several of ths passengers and crew ( about 209 altogether ) were still holding on to the vesse ) . 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 160 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 _remaiss 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 rocks , and there was no ono on shore to catch it , and secure it on the sand . The fury of the waves continued unabated , and about five the wreck parted by the fore-rigging , and so many souls were emerged in the water , that only 70 were left crowded on tiie forecastle , who were then lashed to the wreck . The sea continued breaking over them , the wind raging and the rain heavy ali night , and thus the poor creatures continued . _Numbers of them died and fell overboard , or suuk and were drowned at the place where they were lashed .
" When day broke the foUowing morning , it was discovered that only about thirty were left alive . The sea was now making a clean breach into the forecastle , thc 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 , tho captain tried to reach the shore , but was unable to accomplish so arduous a task , and 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 . ilr . Thomas Guthrie , the chief mate , now on the spritsail yard , was washed out to the bowsprit . He saw the captain and second mate and
steward dinging 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 tho 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 ono 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 soals _. on board , only nine were saved .
The namesof thosesaved are Mr . Thomas _Guthrie , 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 _listof 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 , ahd two children ; R .

Thealleged^Nciit^ Ax On Friday, William ...
THEALLEGED _^ NCIIT _^ AX On Friday , William Richardson ,- formerly assistant to tl _« Xs _« m «' -. _ojal , at the Observatory , Gree . iY . iehpark , and Ann Maria , his eldest daughter , were brought upon remand at the Greeuwich police-court , and placed before Messrs . Jeremy and Gr _» ve , the sitting magistrates charged with secreting tlio birth , aud privately burying at _uight in the garden ofthe male prisoner , a child which bis daughter , tho female prisoner , bad given birth to at a house in Southwark , aud wliich child she had borne to the malo prisoner , under circumstances most horribly revolting .
The first witness called waa _EUiabctU Reynolds , who deposed that she is a married woman , and resides at No . j Woston-place , St . Thomas ' _s-street , Borough . Mr . Richardson and tbe female prisoner came to her house . Ue said be wanted a lodging for his daughter , and nurse to attend to ber , as she was near her confinement . This wa * onthe 13 th of September last . Ue _m-li-i -M a _« _ _» _fbrtable and quiet place , and a bargain was entered into to pay 5 s . per week for a single room , and 5 s . more for attendance . He gars his card , and said he would consult Sirs . Richardson , and call again . Jlr , and Mrs . Richardson called two days afterwards , and engaged . the apartments on the proposed terms . The female prisoner took possession of the apartment , and was delivered on tbe 15 th of Seuteuiber last of a male child . Tho child died
ten days after its birth . The child wbon born was . trong and healthy , and after the first week _wasseizod with _suilden illness . It was taken with violent screaming , nnd _contittued in tbat state all night . In the morning Mr . Wood , of Union-street , Southwark , surgeon , was sent for . Ue came at half-past twelve , lie was present _iigain at eleven on Friday night , and on Saturday morning , at four o'clock , its mother called wituess , and said the inlant was dead . Mr . Richardson and his wife came afterwards , and between three aud four o ' clock in the afternoon they went away together . The infant was subsequently taken away at night by Mr . Richardson in a blue bag . Witness told Mr . _Ilichardswi that it was necessary to get a certificate and bave the birth registered , as also its death . He said ho had done so , and had given the child a name , but would take the body home , to save
expense . Richardson asked the witness if she recollected what be said when she told him of the child ' s death ; and she replied that" ha would not hava lost it for £ 50 . " Thomas Jones , labourer , deposed tbat Mr , Richardson employed him to dig a hole in his garden ; tbis was in last September , on Thursday or Friday . Thinks it was _septembu _* . The prisoner said lie was going to Loudon . Ue said to witness , " Dig a hole in the corner of the gravel path . " He dug it three feet long and four deep . He was to get it done against the prisoner returned , as lie meant to have a bit of a drain to draw the water from the house . Witness dug the hole , and prisoner camu homo between five aud six that evening , and said it would do very well . It was open three days , and on the Monday following I filled in the gtav _. l by his order . He _» id he bad altered his mind , aud should not hare the drain , but did not say why some of tke gravel had been filled in .
Stephen Yarni-y , bricklayer , deposed that he was employed by Richardson , on the _ f 7 tb of September . Witness weut in tbe evening , and asked for Mr , Richardson . The daughter said that her mother and father were gone to Loudon , and would return at nine o ' clock . Witness waited , -and Mr . Richardson retn .-ned carrying a coffin under his arm , wrapped iu two silk handkerchiefs . The coffin was about two feet 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 liu had walked all the way from London . During this he was putting the cotKn under the sideboard , He took a chair , paid the men , and then witness _. He then said , " Call next morning . " . Witness wok no verbal notice of the coffin . Wituess saw no hole in the garden .
Amelia Richardson , aged fifteen , a very well-dressed girl , deposed that she lives with bur mother and sisters in Friendly-place , New Town , Deptford . On the 27 th of September she lived with her father ou Royal-hill , Greenwich . She saw a man dig a hole there in the garden . Witness held a light that night , at her father ' s request . between eight and nine o ' clock . Witness knew what waB going to be done . Her sister Ann and her father went to tlie end ofthe garden together , and her father put the c-ffiu into the bole , and put some gravel oyer it . She held the light . Nothing was said at the time . "So conversation about the child's death had been before her . She asked what the hole was for , and her father said " for the baby . " Her sister was much affected , cried , aud said , "Poor little thing , " alluding to the biiby . Her father has acted with great violence towards her at well as her sister , when not obeying his harsh commands .
Mr . Oak Mitchell said , he had made a post mortem examination of tbe body , and had , since that , tried vurious tests , one of which was with the vie a- of finding arsenic , but it had been unsatisfactory , and had puzzled him . He had since consulted the coroner , who had determined to sand the remains to Londou to undergo a strict examination by a most experienced practical chemist , in conjunction with Dr . Leeson , Forensic Lecturer at tbe London hospitals , and resident iu Greenwich . ' The prisoner said , in auswer to the magistrate , that he wished to give , seriatim , a statement of facta from first to last concerning ths charge . Mr . Jeremy said he was not bound to do so , but if he did , it would be taken down as evideuce by the clerk . Prisoner ' s solicitor recommended him to refrain from doing so at present .
The prisoner said , however it might affect him in the eyes of the world , he wished the humble truth to appear . lie wished , at all personal sacrifices , to go seriatim into _nvery fact . He uever considered the birth or death of the infant hadbeen concealed . He merely wished that the body should not be thrown out of the churchyard . It could hare been more secretly disposed of in London . He had no thought that the remains would have been disturbed , at least in hie 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 lie found tbat 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 _doctorprored there was no intention en his part to make a secret of the birth or death . HiB wife and daughter both had attended iu engaging the apartments . He then read several letters from his wife , daughter , and son , showing the affection that subsisted in the family _, whieh proved nothing as to the alleged charges . He concluded by saying he deeply regretted and repented of aU 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 had to deplore through life .
The female prisoner , on being asked if she wished to say anything to clear herself , saidshe was very sorry for what she had done , but it was her father who had compelled her to do so . Mr . Jeremy : To do what f 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 hud no desire to prosecute her father now . He bad 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 that night _Bhe was frightened . Her mother left home that night .
Amelia Richardson recalled . —Remembers her sister Ann going to the Greyhound Inn , Greenwich , one night since the child was born , to get a bed . Her father went too . They could not get one and returned . Sho beard her father call Ann . He said " Come here . " She suid , "I am not coming . " He said that if she did not come she should not stop in thehouse another minute . She said " I don ' t want to come . " He said , " Theii go out directlyget your things and leave . " She was partly undressed ; sho went out , and father followed her : they returned soon . The prisoners were then _remanded for a week . The magistrates refused bail for either of tliem .
Serious Charges Against Ji Stockbroker.—...
Serious Charges against ji Stockbroker . —Leeds ; Feu . 3 . —The greatest surprise was created in Leeds to-day by the apprehension of . Mr . 11 . J . Marcus , of the firm of Marcus , _Saylor , and Co ., on a charge of forgery . The examinations so far bave been conducted before the magistrates in privacy , but tho facts ofthe wise are understood to be that the nam . of Darnton Lupton , Esq ., late mayor of Leeds , had been attached toatransterof some London and Croydon Railway shares without his knowled ge , the _attestation to the signature being by Mr . Marcus On apprehending Mr . Marcus , we hear that ho m ' _ i . l _» si
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 iii pieces , which 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 struggle . After the examinations of to-day the ease was adjourned aud the prisoner remanded until Thursday , Mr ! Marcus was not a member of the Stock Exchange , but held the office of chairman of tlie _Shnrebiolteis ' Association . He is also one of tlie honorary secretaries of tlie Leeds Mechanics ' Institution . .
DjsTEitMiMKD Suicide . —About eleven o clock on Tuesday night , a moat determined act of suicide was committed by a young woman , named Elizabeth Blake , whose friends are highly respectable , aud reside at Lock ' s-fields , Walworth . It appears that the unfortunate creature left her home on the afternoon of Tuesday , in a very depressed state of mind , caused , it is believed , by the state in whicli she was , expecting hourly to be confined . Late in thc evening she was observed near the _biu-in pf the Canal , in the Old
Kent-road , and about the time above stated , some one passing along the banks heard a loud splash iu the water , and presently after something rose to the 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 werc put into operation for about half Jan hour , when the persons succeeded in getting out thc body . From the time which had unfortunately elapsed , all signs of life were gone ; and although prompt measures were adopted to promote her recovery , they were of no avail _.

- : NO VOTE ., ' NO _MUSKET ! [ Continued from our Third Page . ] * - - " _* _OttEAT PUBLIC _MKBTtNG IN Oli-SOOW . On Monday Inst , 2 nd inst ., a great public meeting ofthe unenfranchised inhabitants ot 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 . Ilenry Vincent . Both gentlemen heartily concurred in tho objects ofthe meeting . Mr . Geo . Adams moved the first resolution , as follows . _*—" That we , the unenfranchised classes resident in the city aud suburbs of Glasgow , in public meeting assembled , arc decidedly of opinion , that , according to tho acknowledged principles of the British
constitution , no person ought to be called upon to taKe arms in defence of laws , in thc making of which he has no voice ; we therefore can view the present intention of tho Ministry to call out the militia regiments only as an act of the mos t . flagrant injustice , whilo by far the greater number of those who , according to the existing class made laws , are liable toserve , are denied tho rights and privileges of citizenship ; and as an aet 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 , are our inalienable birthright . " Mr . John Bryan seconded tho resolution , which was all but unanimously carried .
Mr . James Adams moved the 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 , andv ' a syBtem oi unjust and partial legislation at home , will never cease , nor the principles of peace be _securely _^ nd permanently established until , by the enactment of the People ' s Charter as the law bf these realms , the whole male adult population ' shall be admitted within the pale of the British constitution , by which means thc law of the nation will become a true reflex ofthe 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 men _» s subservientttoy the protection and continuance of class _despoiti-hi , r _^ are therefore determined not to shield ourselves from tho operation of laws so obviously _opposcdjto ever ) - 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 militaryi-lave _^ . But in lieu thereof wo agree to raise , by _| _roluntal'f subscriptions , a fund for the indemnification , of those __ who may suffer loss by acting from conscientious motives , and that a committee of eighteen he now appointed for that purpose . "
A committee of eighteen were then appointed . Mr . Duncan Sherrington moved the adoption ofa petition founded on , and in accordance with , the resolutions . Agreed to . Mr . Sherrington also moved— "That the petition he presented by Mr . Duncombe , M . P ., to thc Ilouse of Commons , and by the Duke of Wellington to the House of Lords 1 " ( Great laughter and cheers . ) The " monster" meeting , which , consisted of at least 6000 men , then separated , after giving a vote of thanks to the chairman , and three cheers for the Charter , three for Thomas Duncombe , M . _P ., and three for Frost , Williams , and Jones .
DUMFBIKS . A public meeting of the inhabitants of Maxwell town , was held on Tuesday evening _la _# , in the Market-place ot that burgh , to receive the report of the committee appointed at thc Court Ilouse , by tho anti-militia majority , whoso 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 tbe largest meeting ever assembled in Maxwelitown , gathered together . Mr . Samuel Ilenry was called to the chair . The secretary of the committee then read the report oi that body . The petition from the meeting against the embodiment of the militia , the committee reported had been forwarded , signed by the chairnwn _, to W . Ewart , Esq ., M . P ., for 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 Prottction Society shall nave been published , when a meeting will bc held in Dumfries , under the auspices of the Working Men ' - 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 thc subject under consideration . A petition similar in its object to the one sent from the Maxwelitown meeting , has been hawked about Dumfries in a private sort of way for a couple of days back . It emanates most probably from thc 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 fiad it fame , " must be attributed to the raps on the snout the sneaking faction are always sure of , the instant itis poked before the public . The Dumfries and Maxwelitown 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 .
NATIONAL ANTI-MILITIA ASS 0 CUTI 0 X . This body met at the Parthenium , 72 , St . Martin ' slane , on Wednesday evening , February 4 th ; Mr . Milne in the chair . Messi-. Hornby , Johnson , Hall , J . Sides , T . Sides , Garrett , Reynolds , Pike , Salmon , Dall , Knight , and Cuffay were added to the committee . Mr . O'Connor then re-stated tlio objects of the association , and the present state of the militia question ; he _^ _tlso stated his fixed conviction to bo that the militia would be embodied and called out , and the great _neceasity of tivmnessanil union amongst the people in opposition thereto ; and congratulated the meeting on the great demonstrations making throughout the country _atjainst the embodiment ot
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 184 . 1 , the Jast taken , and calculated that from tbe numbers to be drawn , ond 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 ho be sent to prison * . — National Anti-Militia Association , established for the protection of those who have a conscientious objection to the service , and who will uot pay others to do that for them which they object to themselves .

Theatre Royal, Marylebone. We Recently V...
THEATRE ROYAL , MARYLEBONE . We recently visited this popular temple of the drama , Tho enterprising lessee has engaged Mr . White , aud his highly-trained wild animals , who are performing iu a grand spectacle , called " The Lion of tha Desert ; or , ths 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 Abdallah , 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 , ic . Their docility was here fully displayed , the lions fawning on Mr , White , and anon making a pillar for his head ; and the
leopards , & c _, jumping ahout like so many kittens , fondling their keeper , and licking his face . The spectacle was eminently successful . Our friend Rayner as Bm lsmael , was evidently placed in a position unworthy his talents . At the close of the piece , Mr . White was called to tlie foot-lights , and caaie , 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 : " in which Mrs . Campbell played witmore than her usual ability . The drama was , as it deserved to be , triumphantly successful , and will bear repetition many times during the season .
ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE . Mr , Batty , the enterprising manager of Mis popular establishment , which ia nightly filled with crowds of admiring visitors , notwithstanding the attractive nature of the present entertainments , has purchased two large elephants which aro daily exvected 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 Polttecunic _lssTiT-Tios . —The _clieaiical _Uuturer ofthe above most excellent establishment , Pr , John Ryan , has , we are delighted te see , resumed tho subject of _gentral chemistry , which has for a considerable time heen set aside for that all-engrossing subject , the potato diseaso . His lecture on Thursday was ou the subject of heat , introductory to an extended series , _explanatory of the application of chemistry to the general purposes ot life , "Wo _aru more and more convinced of thc high character aud the moral influence of this splendid institution , _espt-cially while its professors take
so much pains to bring the most abstruse subjects ot science into such a plain and simple form . If we might offer to this talented le-turw a fitting subject for afuture course , we would suggest to him , as a test-book , thfl report ofthe Health of Towns' Commissioners , There he would fiud a wide and legitimate field for his powers as a medical or chemical teacher . Dr . _Bachoffiier ' s lectures oh natural philosophy are the theme of praise from all who have heard liim , and most justly so for the delightful way in which h « Mewls simplicity with 3 cience is greatly to be commended .

DIED .

He mi ght truly be called a Christian—an ornament to society , and an honest man * , ; he consistently opposed Kingcraft and Priestcraft ; he > formed a Sick-club and Burial Society , and joined tha > _Twnperance movement , setting a good example to hi * > neighbours . He was a subscriber to , and a _reader of ths s Star from its commencement , and stood forward to do > good at all times , declaring that nothing short of lhe en- - _acinient of the People ' s Chatter could benefit the work- :-ing class . All attempts to prevent him pursuing the e _flreu tenor of his way were fruitless—h « lived and died d a Chartist His illness , which waa lo » _g and painful , was _n borne with great patience and resignation : his last words Is were— " Alt is well ! " Ho ling left a family to lament his is loss , and who , we sincerely hope , are following the good ) d example set them by their lute father .
