Lest evening a converusione was held at eight 'Pollock, by the President and Treasurer of the above admir able institution, in the fine old oak wainscotted chamber, keowa ea the Hospital Hall or Courtroom, for the purpose of Marin from Mr. J. Flint South, • sketch which he bad enepared of-the history of St. Thomas' Hospital. with anec dotes and reminiscences of some of the most per sew with it. The chair was taken by Mr. Bag galley the Treasurer. The lecture, or address, wet concluded at too late en hour le allow of more than a very brief notice of the main mints. Mr. South began by saying that he had Mown this subject in the belief that it would be interesting to the company assembled to hear how the hospital had aided in the advance of medical science. The hospital of St. Thomu was founded in the year 1213 by Robert, Prior of Bermondsey, and was built upon the oellarer's ground of that prior. In 1214, two years after, it was endowed more fully for canons regular by • Bishop of Winchester, cud the hosoital won then held of the Prior of Bermondsey sad the Bishop of Winchester. He continued, to trace the early history of the hospital during succeesivel reigns until the Reformation. when it fell into the bands of the rapacious Henry the Eighth, who probably held it longer than he otherwise would have done becalm he could net find a fitting purchaser. He at last determined to found is the plus (rose which the soaks bad been turned out a eseeptecle for old soldiers who had fought In the swat wan. From this point he went on to de amen the progreseive steps in subsequent times. illustrating hi narrative with antiquarian notion. Henry VIII. greeted It a elsarter. He expressed his opinion that there was reed game to believe that Sir John Ayliffe had a great deal to do with the after founding of the hospital, if he was not the prime mover in the basins's. However the hospital won bought of Henry the Eighth by the citizens, and they after wards entered into a subscription, or, in the language of those times, • " benevolence," for the purpose of setting tip the building and fitting sad furnishing it for the reception of the persons who were to be planed therein. Hero Mr. South pointed it out, is • lithographic republication of a view of Lon don in 1543, showing the site of the hospital, and that it con slated of ealy • few gables. In addition to the subscription of money, the eitisens also contributed the articles they dealt in, foe is theme days no man felt aabareed of what he sold. He thee quoted from the records of the time the names of these whir had thee contributed in kind. It then became seessiery to make arrangements for the conduct of the hos pital as to the poor to be admitted, and what was ogled e " book " was published, in which the sorts of poor to be admitted were defined. Here Mr. South quoted • great number of documents, and entered largely Into details of the large amounts of subscription raised among the aliases for the establishment and support of the hoc pital, and showed the mode of management that was per med, the number of surgeons that were appointed and of ieneate ellployed ; referring also to Christ's Hoe. pital and Bridewell to show how the system ex pude& Meek of the advancement was due to the retinues sad exertions of Eiward the Sixth, who ordered these three hospitals to be called "The Hospitals of the King of goateed," and the mayor and commonalty of the city were nominated governors of them. It was in the year 1553 or 1554 that the hospital might be raid to be estate HAW in its regular wo-k. To show that he was right in this opinion he quoted a long string of dates and entries of edmiesioe. About this time a circumstances of importance In the history of surgery occurred in the establishment of barbers and surgeons. So early as the reign of Edward the Foorth there had been • corporation of surgeons, not befog !webers, which did not seem to have thriven neash, bat yet might have been composed of persons id some consideretion at the time, for he found the aim of William Hobbes, who was sergeant surgeon to Edward the 4th, in 1661. He had • salary of forty marks a year, • great sum in those days. Going on to the early part of the reign of Henry the Eighth, the corporation of barbers wee quite distinct, but it did not get on very well. 10 1628 an act bad been passed to prevent any person acting ea a ear gem melees alter examination by the Bishop of London, emitted by four doctors and persons skilled in sure , ry, end It wasa fact that until the last 100 years the Bishop of Lnden claimed intervention with the hospital of St. Thomas. It was in 1541, in the reign of Henry the Eighth, that the act passed for uniting the barbers end surgeons, but it was a connexion, cot • union, far the barbers were to sit in one room and the surgecne In another, end in the charter of their incorporation it was provided than no manner of man is London or within a mile of its compass should do any act of barber, or 'bevies unless he belonged to the corporation, nor use and occupy himself with any craft of surgery unless he so belonged to it. Mr. South then followed the history of the hospital, through the reign of the Stuarts and the Georgian era, until be brought it down to our own times, He told of instances of disputes and dissensions among the principals and surgeons during the latter part of the last century, and he gave en interesting account of the lite end career of the mlobented surgeon Henry Cline, a bust of whom, by Chantrey, is in the apartments in which the lecture was delivered. He also described the services rendered by Mr. Abel Chapman, and other pa to the hospital, until it had arrived at its present dignified position ; and he concluded with • few words of advice to the studebts, many of whom were present', hinting to them that If with such great advantages for study as the Institution afforded to them, and alter the great anxiety which the governors bed tor years past displayed to advance the dignity of the profession, and to promote the comfort of, and increase the opportunities area advantages fcr the students, if they would not work, the discredit would fall upon themselves, and Lot upon the hospital. At the conclusion of the address the company separated at about ton o'clock. to CRUELTY TO AN APPRENTICL—At the Lough borough petty sessions on Thursday, a case was heard, of such a character that the audienca several times gave vent to their indignation and contempt. The particulars of the case are as follow : —ln August, 1848, a youth named Mickley, whose parents lived at Wanlip, was apprenticed to Collingti a, tailor, of Seagrave. SJOLI after he was bound, he and a fellow apprentice were subjected to trea , ment of a most uprose end harsh character. Sufficient food was not given to them, and at times that which was given was unfit to eat. Once some liver which had been cooked several days, and was is a mouldy state, was given them; and because Bleakley's fellow•apprentice refused to eat it, he was kept without food three days. When at work they were not allowed to speak to each other, and for looking, or smiling at each other, they have both frequently been severely beaten. Neither of them made any complaint to their parents, but on the 13.11 of October, 1849, Blankley, who was then about seventeen years of age, absconded, unknown to his parents, and went to sea. After being a sailor a few months the ship returned to Hull, and Blank ley was discharged; but then, rather than return to his 'master, he enlisted as a soldier. He removed with the regiment to Limerick, where he fell sick ; and after lying in the hospital there three months, he for the first time since he ran away wrote to his parents informing them of his situation. &we afterwards his father purchased his discharge, and a week or two ago he returned home. Collington, hearing of his return, took out a summons charging him with absconding from his apprenticeship, and the case was brou,rht forward on Thursday, when the above facts as to the treatment, &c., were sworn to by Blenkley'a fellow-apprentioe. bit. Acworth said he had taken the trouble to inquire into the character Blankley bore before he ran away, and had kited that he was an honest indite. thous youth ; and that his character while in the S.nday school was unimpeachable. The magistrates recommended an arrangement out of court, when the bitch informed Collington that they were unanimously of opinion that he was not a 8t person to have an apprentice ; and their decision was that the indentures be cancelled, and that he (Coiling ton) pay the rata. The father of Blanaley, on beating the decision, seemed almost overpowered with emotion, and warmly thanked the bench.—Aoffinglione Jlercterv. A CHILD KILLED 8! A LUNATIC MOTHEIL—AD inquest has been held before B. Sparrow', Rag , at Lows- tort, to inquire Into the death of Joseph &twin By, the infant son of Isaac and Saab Bly, Anne Arms deposed that the mother of the infant was her daughter, and the deceased wu eight weeks old. Her daughter bed been ill with a low fever which prevailed in the neighbourhood. Wits's* went to see her daughter on Tuesday midst, when elle found her " very ill and had." She could not on. &mend what her daughter said, and then, CM opening the bed to look after her daughter's child, she found it quite dead and the throat cut. Witnete ran out of the house to find the father of the infant, and when she re turned found that her daughter had cut her own throat, but not fatally. A razor was found lying on the chest. H. A. Chapman deposed that on going into the roam when the mother of the deceased lay in bed she saw her throw her hands about wildly, and say, " Did I do It ? Did Idoit ? Oh no ! It was not me that did if." Robert By, brother of the deceased, deposed that he had been said by his mother, on Tuesday morning, to get her a gin ir, to cot ber nails, and he brought her one. George Cleveland, Beg., surgeon, deposed to the elicited condition of mind and weakness of body of the mother of the deceased, and of her saying, without queetioaing, that she cut the throat of her child, than her own, but that she could not say why she did it. Mr. 8. Brame, the registrar, deposed that when the mother of the deceased attended to register Ma child he found her is a state of great mental de; 'elision, from poverty. The jary, after deliberating about half an hour, returned the verdict Wilful murder," against the mother, but e xpressed their regret that they could not qualify their verdict by eddies their opinion of the poor womaa's iasanity.

MADRID AND VALENCIA RAlLWAY.—Yesterday hie honour, Master Bleat, admitted a claim brought in by Mr. Beatty, one of the engineers of this company, for 3,463 L, with the view a enabling the claimant to try ha validity by en action at common law. Mr. Role, who was the solicitor to the company, said be believed that there was a balance due to Mr. Beatty at this moment. Mr. Beatty was examined upon the subject of his appointment as engineer, and alleged mat had it not been for his exertions in Madrid it was very questionable whether the 17,0001. caution money would ever have been obtained. A bill had been drawn upon him for 2001. by Mr. Chadwick, which had been dishoneured. BRIGHTON JUNCTION RAlLWAY.—Yesterday • claim, on the put of the engineer, was brought in before Sir George Ems by Mr. Lee, the official manager. The scheme was to connect Brighton with the north and,west of England, with a capital of 300,0001. in 15,000 shares of 201 each, and a deposit of 21. `2s. Some of the provisional committee con tributed 1501. and others 601. each, and the object to winding-up the company appean to be to cause those mem ben who did not so subscribe to pay en enuel proportion in discharge of ontstanding liabilities. The proceedings were adjourned, his Honour appearing to be of opinion that in the present state of the law upon this subject, the particular use was one in which there woe really no company to wind up. DOVER, DEAL, AND CINQUE PORTS RAILWAY.— Yesterday his Honour Muter Brougham referred the bill of costs arising out of an appeal on ,the part of MUM Hooks and Thompson, in respect of their bill of costs for 6,0001., to the taxing master.

When all those :PI -41 U IS Nil 100 ISI IL lie Ile It SO IS 10 shMe - htilden in the third list of contributories, who, on shares being allotted them, paid Is. per share, and took up their scrip, were agreed to be " excluded " from the list, as the offlaal manager had at present no further evidence to offer against them. The names, however, of Messrs. Carruthers and Pershouse were adjourned, it being undersood that farther effidenoe was capable of being produced against them and others is a similar position, and whose cases differed from those of Mr. Aspioall, whose name had been previously eacluded. An application was made for e re by the solicitors for the different parties, and sojourned for the Master's decision. No further evidence • being offered against Mr. James Woolley, of Manchester, druggist, holder of 15 sham, and whose name had been I Woolley, to the deist of settlement by his father, Office* i; without authority, it was decided to place the I: names of the Rev. J. Ainslie, of Ainsworth, and others, on ' the lies, as his executors, subject, so tar as the exclusion of Mr. Jima Woolley's name is concerned, to the general question of the liability of re, yet to be determined on appeal to the Court of Chancery. It is understood that the case generally of the third clue or shilling shareholders will be taken upon appeal to the court. No decision has yet been give° on the cam of Buckley, whose case was taken on the second list.

FUNERAL OF THE LATE DUKE OF NI The interment of the Duke of Newcastle took place en Tuesday afternoon, in the maneoleurn which he had caused to be erected In the church act Markham Clinton, distant from Clumber Park, about six or seven miles. The tenantry, in number nearly 600, assembled by appointment on horse back, at the mansion of the late noble deceased, at ten o'clock a.m. The duke's tradesmen at Worksop, u well as a large portion of the respectable inhabitants, had pre viously expressed to the Earl of Lincoln their desire toprin in the proces.ion which should accompany his noble father to his last earthly resting-place ; but their attentions although highly appreciated, were respectfully declined on account of the great number of the tenantry who had expressed a wish to be participators in the obeequies. A considerable number of the manages of the neighbouring nobility and gentry Joined in the mournful cavalcade. NEW CHURCIIES.—The Incorporated Society for Promoting the Enlargement, Buddisig, and Repairing of Churches and Chapels, made grants to seven places, five being fir the erection of new churches at Hockerill, in the parish of Bishop Stortford ; Great Marlow, Bucks. ; Hulme St. Mark, in the parish of Manchester ; Saeyd, in the parish of Bursletn, Staffordshire; Crocken Hill, in the parish of Eyedford, near Dartford.

Tim END OF THE DRVIDS.—Five hundred years had pulsed since Julius Cnium's first invasion of the island, when the Romans departed from it for ever. In the course of that time, although they had been the cause of terrible fighting and bloodshed, they bad dune much to improve the condition of the Britons. They bad made great military I roads; they bad built forts ; they had taught them how to delta and arm themselves much better than they had ever , known how to do beiore • they bad refined the whole British way at living. Agric.la had built a great wall of earth, seventy miles long, extending from New castle to beyond Carlisle, (or the purpose of keeping out the Picts and Scots; Hadrian bad strengthened it; Severna, finding it much in wont of repair, had built it afresh detente. Above all, it was in the Rumen time, and by means of the Roman ships, that the Christian religion war first brought into Britain, ai.d its people first taught the greet lesson that to be good in the sight of God they must love the it neighbours u thessely!s, and do unto others as they would be done by. The Druids declared it was very wicked to believe any such thing, and cursed all the people who did believe it very heartily. But when the people found that they were none the better for the blessings of the Druids, and none the worse for the mines of the Druids, but that the sun shone and the rain fell without consultiog the Druids at all, they just be gun to think that the Druids were mere men and that it signified very little whether they cursed or blessed.

HELIER.—On Sunday af:emoon, the 12th inst., a coroner's inquest was held at the general hospital on the body of Elias Ballot, aged 65 peen, which was found lying in the harbour of St. Helier (south side, old pier) about 8 o'clock on the morsing of the said day. The deceased was a rigger and shipkeeper, and was a native of St. Martin's parish. Mr. Jam. a Pugeley, stated that he saw deceased about 11 o'clock on Saturday tight, with a lighted lantern in him hand, proceeding to the vessel Intrepid, which was lying towards the top of the pier, and of which he had the charge. The lantern carried by the deceased was found up right about three yards from the body. The jury, having exa mined the body, heard several winter's, and it:preen:l • desire that a post 1140ItIMS examination of the body should be made. The continuation of the examination of witnesses MD then adjourned wad Wednesday . On that day the jury met at ten ocleak, at the D. pity Viscount's-office, when Dr. Jones gave it as his opinion, alter • postmen's examine tion, that death was caused by • blow given from behind with a sharp but heavy instrument. The jury repaired to the spot where deceased was bound, and which was designated to them by t witnesses, when it was ascertained that the body was at a distance of fifty feet from the Intrepid (the vessel of which deceased was in charge), thirty-6n feet from the Pallas, and eleven feet from the quay. Several witnesses were subsequently hoard. It appeared from the deposition of deemed 's daughter that her father left home on Saturday evening, a few minutes before eleven o'clock, with his lighted lantern, to go to sleep on board toe Intrepid. He won a cloth cap, which had not been found, and had in his pocket 63. in silver, and about as muck in copper. His pock.rs were searched on Sunday, but the only thing found on his person were the keys ot Its veuel. It appeared also in evi . dance that part of two sheets of copper were cut off the bows of the Pallu on the night el Saturday to Sunday, and it is supposed that the deceased detected the thieves in the set of stealing the capper, and, in order to wawa punishment, they reatadtted the horrid deed. The jury unanimously returned • verdict of " Wiliul murder, by some paean or persons unknown."—Jersey Supt.

MONEY MARKET. THIS DAY. Two o'CLoCK. The English stock market opened well this morn ing, at a farther improvement of additional steadi ness being imparted by further purchases on account of the Sinking Fund. Other satisfactory considera tions are found in the steadiness of the exchangel at Paris and elsewhere, as advised by this day's arri vals, and in the continued inaction of the Bank of England, though this latter is only what was gene rally expected. It may be observed, however, that, with the cessation of the active operations of the morning, the general feeling of the market is at this momenta shade weaker. Consols were nominally quoted, at the opening of business, 961 to for money, and 961 to for the account. The operations on public account were effected at 961 for cash; and the price is at this moment called 961 to a, both for cash and 12th Feb. The prices of actual transactions, as officially re ported, are: Three per Cent. Conso le, 961, a. ' ditto for account, 961, 4. Three per Cent. 11-..dnoed, 971, !„, 4.

Other stocks are unchanged in value, and attract little attention. The sales of the morning are limited to :—Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., at 92. Danish Five per Cents., 102.

In July the Chilian commonwealth repealed its navigation laws, and now, by decree of 12th November, it imposes an additional tonnage rate of 6 reals per too, and additional import duties of 10 per cent, on vessels of those nations which have not reciprocated the repeal of the Chilian law. This will put the screw on the small trade of some of the South American states, and ace lerato the course of free trade, and it will likewise give a lesson in Europe to France and Spain, the last strongholds of protec tionism. Some days have now elapsed, and although on the arrival of the Mexican advices through the United States it was announced in one of the official organs of the Mexican committee that a sum was lying to the credit of the bondholders at Vera Cruz, no communi cation has been made to the press generally. What can be the reason that every publicity is not given to information in favour of the bocdholders, while it is given to rumours unfavourable to them, we cannot conceive. The bondholders are likewise left quite in the dark whether any advices have been received overland from Mr. Falconnet ■s to the probable arrangements of the finance ministry—a matter cf considerable interest to them. If Mr. l'ayno remains in office the agreement will of course be carried out; but if same one takes his place in the new cabinet of Gen. Arista, difficulties or delay may perhaps arise. Tomorrow the tenders are to be sent in for the British Guiana loan of 70,0001. at 4 per cent. The arrears of interest now due on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln 101. preference shared are 11. 21. 6d., but 59. is to be paid off this year, and tbere is a good prospect of punctual payment after wards. On Monday a rise took place at Paris in the ex change on London, and this has since been main tained. The last quotation is 24f. 95e. at short, and 24f. 774 e. at 90 days. There is no variation in the quotations of billion, and no material alteration in the rates of exchange on other places. A Mr. Ross has arrived at Seville with a pro positioe for a steamer to navigate the Guadal quiver from Seville to Cordova. As yet steam navigation stops at Seville; and although there is much intercourse by this mode of conveyance on the Lower Guadalquiver, the presumed difficulties in the upper river have prevented any attempt to put boats on it. Mr. Ross says that his boat, which we presume is like those that navigate the Ganges and the shallow upland rivers of the United States, will work to Cordova, without requiring any alterations in the course of the river. lie proposes to bring down agricultural produce at one quarter of the present rates. From what we can understacd he has a steamer at Seville, and proposes to make a trial trip, with a cargo of wheat, from Cordova to Seville. There are said to be serious intentions of laying down a telegraphic line from Madrid to Cadiz. In deed, if the Spaniards proceed in their present vigorous fashion they may soon be on a par with Eng land as to the electric telegraph, though that is not saying very much, as we are so miserably behind hand. The following letter from San Francisco, received by a highly respectable house in London, is interest ing as containing some trustworthy evidence on the subject of gold quarts, which excites so much interest. San Francisco, Nov. 20. I imagine in a letter from California the first thing to speak of is the gold ; but I have only the same even story to tell, that new mines continue to be discovered, and mining generally pretty successful; but if the recent die muralist the anoint of gold in the quern rocks turn out half as much as every one believes, mining is yet in its in fancy, a fraction has not yet been obtained. What is got to what is expected le u a drop to the ocean, a rushlight to a sunshine. I have myself seen several large lumps of quays rock in which there were vain, of gold from 14 to 1.16 of an inch thick. At present we are cheap's-Anted in the amount taken out, although it is calculated to amount to from ten to twelve millions of dollen a month. For the last six months 30,000,000 dollen was manifested by the steamers to Panama, independent of what was taken on private account, which could not be much leas than a similar amount; sod when to this is added what was sent to China, Sreth Ame rica, the Australian colonies, tke., and what was retained in the country for a currency, the total amount will certainly not be under 50,000,000 dole, in six months, or 100,000,000 dot per annum ; and when to this is added the mineral and agricultural resources of the country, we are bound to go ahead. It is, however, quite • mistaken no. tion to suppose that every miner is earning his ounce per day. I think 3 dole. or 4 dolt. is about the daily ge. Some make much more, tome lees. Beyond 3 dole per day, which any man can earn, it is a game of chance to play, for those to be more highly favoured. A man may labour for six months, and no more than earn a liberal wage, and just as he is about to despair, pounce upon a lucky pocket, out of which he may bring 10,600 dole. in a day. The extraordinary progress of this city is one of the greatest wonder. of recent times. Already we . have a population of about 50,000. The place was never Intended by nature as the site of • large town. Large halls and bluff rocks cover the principal puts, but man is doing what nature omitted to do, levelling enormous sand beaks, and filling up immense cavities. Miles of rock, at least 40 feet high, are being levelled. The streets are being planked, and a planked road for four miles is going on. Similar inroads are being made on the domains of Neptune. Wharves are being extended into the bay, one of which is upwards of 2,000 rest in length, and cost about 260,000 dollars There are ten others about finished, and altogether we have about two miles of wharf way at a cast of 2,000.000 dollars. Harbours are being constructed in which a 74 can lic. Piles are being driven in 16 feet of water, and houses I erected thereon in which • large proportion of the inhabi tants reside and have their warehouses. Wharves are being made where ships lie at anchor. In short any person who so rapid are the changes, so wonderful may leave the town for a month will scarcely know it rOvement ! thige O lin u nar a hi a ,° l . lf Yis mumP healthy,—mild or windy in summer, and rainy in Toter, but not cold. Dysentery is very common, but this is said to arise from the water mixing with ;the surface drainage. This is being remedied by sinking deep wells on the artesian princip4. The stagnant pools and filth in some quarters are enough to raise cholera in any place. A hot Inn playing upon thew pro. duos a miasma that would kill a " yellow drummer." Still we manage to do without doctors. What a blessing I The idea of pal log 1,000 dole. fee is not by any means pleasant. Such is the charge made by these gentry in certain oases, i.e., " if they get it," us Coker says. It is quite • mistake to suppose we are all millionaires because we are in a gold vis conn it. try. The doctors are well (*Went with 10 or 16 dole a As to society, much may be said to amuse or grieve. We are a heterogeneous mass of all castes and nations, of ail cha racters and complexions. The daily mingling of tensors in our streets is one of the most striking characteristics of the place. The g I contour or cut of features is sufficient index to the nation of birth and boyhood. Pertain the blackest page of American California is the history or lives of .he females in our midst. Husbands arrive here with their wises and families, but they are not generally long on elyire when their better halves cut con nexion for other and richer men ; so tat the poor dieconsu late husbands, instead of mining for gold, have to nurse their " wee um" Young dams, b , however ugly or deformed, are soon picked u. and spliced. Fire and sword era no barriers to men's p Mien' here, nor is age a presto " The same house, we learn, is authorised to open a floating policy for 300,0001b5. of quicksilver from the mines of New Almadin, in South California. The supply of this quicksilver to the Pasco and other silver districts in South America is of the greatest importance in raising the yield of silver ores. In fact it will give an imputes to silver mining such as it has not received since the genius of the great Trevithick revived the workings of the overflooded mines by setting the first steam engine to work on the heights of Plano. Trevithick's labours have borne their trait, and sow an ample supply of steam machinery enables abundance of ore to be raised, but its reduction in the amalgamation process by a cheap supply of quicksilver is the stage to which a stimulus must be applied to increase the yield, and ivhfih the discovery of the cinnabar mines of California promises to afford. The effect of the large supplies which the New Alma den mines promise will be to reduce the monopoly price of the quicksilver of Almaden, Janie, Manes relics, and the other seats of production. To Mexico the benefit will be great, inasmuch as Zicatecar, Guanaxuato, Sonora, and the other mining districts will derive their supplies from the ports on the Pacific, from which the communications are more con venient, instead of from the ports in the Gulf of Mexico. The new Eastern Steam Navigation Company, which was announced in the Daily News (and thence copied itto the Express) of December 23 as in projection, has now advanced a step further—it is prov'sionally registered, and has issued its prospec tus. This document contains a fair and unexaggerated statement of the accommodation ac.ually afforded to the public, in respect of the conveyance of mails, pas sengers, and goods, by the overland route under existing arrangements, and of the additional accom modation contempiated by the company. The names of the provisional directors are sufficiently known in the mercantile world to afford a fair criterion of the prospects of the undertaking. This, too, we may add—that the broach c:ramunication between Cal cutta and China, under proper management, is cer tain to be amply remunerative, and that the mum voted by the New South Wales legislature towards the establishment of ocean steam mails is open to the competition of private enterprise. This, too, is im portant; the judicious and successful management of the Austrian Lloyd's affords strong presumptions in favour of any enterprise in which that company takes a pecuniary interest, and allows two of its directors to be actively engaged. In connexion with this subject, a representation made to the directors of the Peninsular and Oriental, by the passengers to Calcutta in December last, is highly instructive, as showing the want of a healthy competition in the steam navigation of the Easters seas. The subjutned calculations show the rate per cent. per annum yielded by tl:e various securities cited at the average of toc prices which ruled this day.
