Yesterday, .at Lambeth Police Court, Henry O o dseA Johnson was again examined, charged with de. drandiad Mrs. Stewart of considerable sums of money by saw representations. On this charge the only evidence red was that of Sir. It. W. Orey, who deposed that J hasing was not • relative of Lord Palmerston, as he had peteaded. Mr. Lliiottenquiresl if there wars parties in attendance w ho wished to make any further charge against the pri sm" when Mr. Dawson, a tailor and draper t he, altered the witnese-box, and, when sworn, said knew the prisoner at the bar very well.

W Bowie employed a lawyer to le* ester the captain and his mare, but the only thing be mid learn of either was, that the mare bad been taken hie met to the station at Euston-square, soma short tines mem the prisoner heal her, hy a shabby looking fellow, to take away woe hampers of wine.

From subsequent inquiries which he had made, he (witnem) found that the wine bed never toned it. way to Victoria-terrace, Bedford, but bed b ee n taken to Newport Pagnel, and at t hat place re-directed and sent back to town. Mr. Elliott—Did the prisoner make any representathell at your employer's house upon which the wine had bus sent to him; or was it merely oa the introduction of dm. gentlemen you spoke o t he ntat you let him bags Ike property ?—Witneas: On introduction of the pate man, who thought him at the time to be • person of the highest respectability. Mr. Elliott—Then, that being the fact, you will not be able to make may case against the prisoner at present.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. The official report says :—A thousand and one deaths were registered in London in the week that ended last Saturday. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1813-52 the average number was 1,138, which, if raised in preporuon to t►e increase of population during these years, gives a mortality of 1,2.52 for the present time. The com parison, which shows a reduction in last week of Lot below the estimated amount, proves the continuance of that fa vourable state of the public health that has for some time bees remarked. _ . . _ The present return, as compared with that of the former week, exhibits a trading increase in epidemics ' arising chiefly from measles and fever ; the former disease has risen from llto 20 fatal cases, the latter from 43 to .52. Small pox numbered last week 6 deaths, scarlatina 63, beeping cough 39. There were only 13 from diarrhea; and none have been registered from cholera in the last two weeks. Amongst discuss that affect the respiratory organs, bron ehitis has declined in the last two weeks from 93 to 67 ; pneumonia shows little fluctuation, having been fatal its 52 and 5$ cams; while phthisis rum in the same period from 104 to 125. Is the subdistrict of Camden-town, at 30, Lower Cam bridge street, on 9th January, the daughter of a labourer, aged eight months, died of pneumonia (17 days), beeping cough, cynanehe traehealis (4 days)." Mr. ILA., the regis trar, observes: "This street is in a very deplorable state, unlighted, unpaved, and uncleansed. The slush is above six inches deep throughout the whole extent, which is con siderable. It is distressing to visit such dwellings as I am occasionally obliged to do, and to witness the wretchedness that surrounds the inmates within, which is in perfect keeping with the scene without." Mr. Hems, registrar of the sub-district of Whitechapel church, says: "The low rate of mortality still continues here; only one death, exclusive of them in the London Hospital, has been registered in the last two weeks, and that occurred on Christmas day." In sane instanon, the metropolitan registrars, in their quarterly reports, review the condition of their districts in reference to mortality and other particulars during the last three months of 1852. Mr. Daws, the registrar of Lambeth, Waterloo sub-district (second part), reports as foliows : " The deaths are very few, being only 84, whereas in the eorrespooding quarter of 18.61, 138 were registered, and I have n in any previous quarter registered less than 91. It may be remarked that several ditches have been covered, and the drainage of Lambeth-square is much improved. In this square the mortality has been only a sixth of that which occurred in the last three months of 1851 ; the deaths from small-pox, measles, scarlatina, hoopinecough, were then 30, while in the quarter just elapsed the fatal cases of these diseases were only 9. The weather, however, has been very favourable." Mr. Ansel', the registrar of Horton New Town, observes: —" This district has been remarkably healthy during the last quarter. Some few cases of typhus and scarlatina have occurred, and these have mostly arisen from bad drainage and from the bad state of streets ' some of which are not kept in proper order. It will be seen that the deaths are 127, and that the births are in excess of them hy 130." Mr. Bowring, the registrar of Ilaggentone West sab district, writes:—" The deaths for the quarter (180) in my sub-district are rather above the average which I can only attribute to the constant wet weather for the last three months. Tho majority of cases occurred in those parts where there is no drainage, or where it is very defective. For the last two months the water has been standing under the floors on the base ment three or four inches deep, snl those who have cellars have been frequently oblig e dto pump it nut. The houses being built of inferior bricks the damp in many that have visited reaches four, and in some five feet up the . walls." _ . _ Mr. Briggs, the Registrar of Church sub-digrict, Beth nal-green, states that " typhus has prevailed to a serious extent, but not so fatally as, considering the bad drainage and want of cleanliness, might have been expected. The deaths (98) in the quarter are under the average ; probably the continued rain has been favourable to health. The births were 185." Last week the birth of 755 boys and 841 girls, in all 1,596 children, were registered in London. The average number in eight corresponding weeks of the years 1845-52 was 1,432. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.443 in. The mean temperature of the week was 45 deg., w►ich is 9 6 deg. above the average of the same week in 38 years. The mesa daily temperature was much above the average on every day of the week; and on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednes day, when it was highest, the excess above the average was 11.9 deg., 10.3 deg , and 144 deg. The wind blew on six days from the south-west. The mean dew point tempera ture was 38 deg. • NAVAL. ADIMIALTY, JAN. 18. --APPoISTMENTO.—Acting Assistant-Surgeon W. J.

FITIff4SITE RoBBLIT AT CIIELTENTIAIL—A rob buy of an extensive character took place at Cheltenham on Thursday. It appears that Mr. Davison, a jeweller and silversmith, of Bigh-street, Cheltenham. locked up Ids premises and left everything sae at night. No pesos slept upon the premises, Mr. Davison's private dwelling ' house being in another part of the town ; and, on his re opening his premises for business at nine o'clock in the morning, on entering the shop his attendee was at once attracted by an empty tray lying on the counter, which on the previous evening had contained 160 gold rings. On looking round the premises he discovered that some thief or thieves had entered them during the night, and had car ried off property to the value of about MK Among the articles missing are Were gold and silver watches, silver spoons, forks, and other articles. The burglars had forced open one of the drawers with a " jemmy." In this drawer Mr. Davison usually kept his each, but only 4.. had been left in it on the previous night. This was taken, bat some old silver in the same drawer (which was covered with paper) appears to have escaped the observation of the bur glars. The police, with the chief constable of the Glouces tershire farce (Mr. Lefroy), are actively investigating the , alralr. ST. KATHARINE DOCKS. - Yesterday, the half-yearly general meeting of pro:.

The following report was read : the accounts of receipts and expenditure of the com pany for the year ending the 31st December last, have been coceasible for inspection by the proprietors during the last fourteen days, and copies of the same are sow upon the table; these accounts show the following results of the business of the pest year : Dross earn logs. 2.53.2871. se. 64.

" Although the foregoing mama show • diminution of the quantity of goods landed, load Ms teenage and number of ships that have entered them thin Ia 1852 as compared with 1861, it will be recollected time the directors at the meetings in January and July last tea emossion to observe that it was not to be expected the extent of business in 18.52 would equal the extraordinary amount transacted in 1861, yet they have the satisfaction of stating that the yes? which Ibis just passed compares favourably with the average of former years. At the meeting in July last, the direction informed the proprietors that clearance sales bad takes place during the preceding half year or goods !on is de posit ; since then the accounts of those sales have Isms closed, and the proceeds thereof carried to the Suspense Account, which has been fully adequate to meet the esti mated loss of rata.. The three-awry warehouse on the Dock Quay at the South side of the Entrance Basin, which the proprietors were informed at the last meeting was in course of being erected, is now completed and in lull occu pation. The directors have also contracted for the nutria tion of the Meexonine floors at I , Warehoue for the sum of 2,2751. Measures are in progress for entering into • further contract of about the same amount for constructing the remaining portion of the Mezzanine floors determined upon, which form part of the extensions sanctioned by the proprietors at the last half-yearly meeting; these additional buildings, including the warehouse first mentioned, will provide for increased means of stowage of merchandise equal to about 3,000 tons." The Cuainuair, in moving the adoption of the report, said he hoped the proprietors had examined for themselves the report and she accounts which were laid on the table. If so, he thought they would be of opinion that these docu ments contrasted favourably with those of former ears. He had stated last year, and also at the meeting in July last, that they must not expect the same =omit of business in 1852 which they had in 1851, when, in coasequence of the great influx of strangers, a larger amount than usual of goods was imported, in the expectation that they would be readily purchased and consumed. That expectation was not fully realised, for there was a large stock of goods on hand at the end of 1852 ; prices had fallen, and it was not to be expected that merchants would import at prices that would not remunerate them. There was, therefore, a falling off in the present year, as compared with the year 1851. In the first ass months, viz., up to July, the number of laden i ships which entered the dock, was less by 92 than the number which entered in the corresponding half-year of 1851, and the difference in the landing of goods was not lees than 14,000 tons. But the unfavourable contrast' of that half-year was prodeced by the circumstance of easterly winds having prevailed for a long period, which peeented ships from coming in. The last half year, how- Othe L had to a considerable extent, as he anticipated it mOd•made up the lee way; for on the 31st Dec. last, te enage then being 92, there were only 82 fewer laden ildp oslering the docks that, in 1861, and the tonnage of die pair had only fallen off 17,000 toes. There were 9,000 ter him in stock in the warehouses at the expiration of the psimmil rat than in 1851. But it had been Use practice of =pay to estimate the progress they had made by pais& ; and looking at it in this way, the result wu •• Mow : Grossoessiap in 1860, £231,600 set earnings, £71,500 o is 1851, 255,600 „ ~ 79,200 1852, 253,200 „ „ 90,689 The 'nod; therefore , was that their earnings in 1850 were 11L Ma. per out.; in 1851, 41. is. 841 per cent.; and in Ida prom year, 41. 13e. 61 As compared with 1861, Idel their net earnings were 4 par cent, more, and as oespased with 1850, 1 per cent. more.

Crown, Committed suicide by hanging herself in one of the apart ments in the house. No reason has been assigned for the rash act. A larp collection of letters was found in the house by the authorities, but it would appear that the de ceased, previous to the commission of the deed, destroyed those portions of them which might have afforded a eine to the whereabouts of her friends, who were never known by any of the neighbours to make personal visits. None of the envelopes could be found. and the letters were neither dated or signed in the usual form. An inquest was held yester day, and • verdict in accordance with the facts was re tamed. PLEASURES OF TUE TROPICS.—A VAMPIRE BAT. —On the morning of December lath, the Dar-keeper of the Pavilion Hotel, Taboga—not appearing at the usual hour, Captain hi'lLinney, the proprietor of the bones, proceeded to his room to call him—when to his astouishmest and hor ror he found hint insensible and bathed in blood. After the usual restoratives were applied, the bar-keeper stated, that on the previous evening, after retiring, he remembered experiencing the most delightful sen , ations, as of fanning, which soon put him into a deep sleep, and he had no con sciousness of the attack made upon him until the morning. The only wounds by the bat, were two small spots on each of the greet toes, from which it is calculated he must have lost at least half a gallon of blood, the man is at pre sent so weak as to be unable for a short time to attend to his usual business.—Panama Herald. EASTERN UNION RAILWAY COMPANY. ' A mettle' Of pfvf•rence -Shareholders is this com pany was hsl4 yesterday, at Hadley% Hotel, called as pre liminary to a general 'meeting, to devise measures for arranging the claims arising on the stiversi classes of pre ference snares, and for obtaining a new board of directors. Mr. HOLT having taken the chair, Mr. Can, as secretary as he said of a committee of pre- ference holders, read the circular calling the meeting, and letters from the chairman of the directors, stating his readiness to co-operate in promoting any reasonable mea cares to relieve the preference holders having regard to the other proprietors; from Mr. Fletcher, of York, dectiniog concurrence in the objects of the meeting,it they were to pronswe the views or one class of shareholders to the pre . Jodie* of others s- and from various other proprietors, who were unable or objected to attend, some expreming themselves favourable to a compromise of the claims for back interest, and others refusing to surrender any portion of those claims. Mr. Cole then proceeded to explain the necessity of altering the constitution of the board, com plaining that the present directors, though promising Early enough at the meetings of the company, neglected to carry out the views of the proprietors in taking steps to rescue the property from its present depressed condition, lie sug gested that a subscription should be -Mead amongiit the preference holders, that a committee should be appointed, and that a future meeting should be called of proprietors generally to carry out their purpose. Mr. STUI6OI, as an acting member of the committee appointed some months ago, and which was still pursuing its investigation, expressed hie conviction that under effi cient management the revenue of the company would enable them to pay to all classes of preference holders and all other claimant& of the company all that was due to them, and in two or three years to place the line in a dividend paying position to the ori ginal holders. He himself would undertake, if he had the management its his own hands, to bring about doeh a ninth, and he expected ere long to be in a position to bring forward sued indisputable proof of the capabilities of the hoc, the canes of its failure hitherto, and the particu lars of its mismanagement, as would induce the original • holders to unite with preference holders in doing what I was right and proper. The bill which had been brought into parliament by the directors in the present session amounted to cosfiacation. It proposed to confiscate all the back interest due to the preference holders to pay off the shares at per, and to re-issue them at 4 per cent., thereby securiag • profit to the original shareholders at the expense of the holder■ of all other shares. He hoped in two or three weeks to he able to produce a repeat of the cap►bili ties of the line. Mr. UMDIIIIVICIOD said he MIS _prepared to pay 101. to wards the necessary expenses. He proposed a resolution to the effect that a subscription of ls. a share on the prefe rence shares be entered into to carry out the objects of the meeting. Mr. CoLa stated that all that was intended to be done would be done in eo-operation with Mr. Sturge's committee, which had devqted so much time and talent in investigating the affairs of the company. It was not to be supposed that the directors would resign on the mere spec digit of the present or any other meeting of preference holders; but it was to be seen whether they would retain their seats iu op position to a pamphlet which was in preparation and about to be published fur general circulati3e, an which the mis maaagcment that had characterised the proceedings of the present board would be let forth. Mr. FISILLit, in seconding the resolution, expressed his confidence in the capabilities of the line to pay not only the dividends upon the preference, but also a very good divi dend oo the original shares. Mr. HARDT, while ready to cooperate in any measure for developing the capabilities of the line, and doing justice to all classes of shareholders, and while objecting very much to the policy of the board, could not be a party to any step for dismissing with disgrace men who, he believed, to have been influenced by honourable motives. lie complained that the traffic on the line was carried at ruiuously low prices, and at from 20 to 25 per cent. below what the dis trict could very well afford to pay. Mr. I.l4aanawn, jun., a member of the existing com mittee, stated that they were in daily expeetation of re ceiving a communication from the directors, stating what they were prepared to do in regard to the preference shares, and the moment they did so it was their intention to call a meeting to lay the same before the holders. He could not see what advantage could be obtained from ap pointing another committee, and suggested that they should pause a few days to ascertain the results of the la bours of the present committee before they took any further steps. At all events, they should wait until Mr. Sturge, who was the working man of the committee, made hie report. After same further discussion, in the course of which se veral proprietors objected to the formation of another corn• mittee at present, i* to pledging themselves to any further expenditure, the resolutioa was withdrawn, and a motion of confideuce in Messrs. Sturge and Bagsliawe's committee passed, and it being understood that the report now pre paring by them would be es early as possible circulated among the shareholders, and that afterwards • general meeting would be called, the business terminated. AND CARDIGAN RAILWAY. A meeting of a deputation of the Board of Direc tors of this company, and the landed proprietors and others interested in the undertaking, was held at the Black Lion Hotel, Cardigan, on Saturday, the Bth inst. The chair was taken by the mayor, T. WINDSOR, Esq. The meeting was very numerously attended, and amongst others we observed all the influential gentlemen over whose lands it is intended to take the Eroposed line. SAMUEL Canaan, Esq., one of the directors, explained to the meeting the advantages that would accrue by railway communication between Carmarthen and Catdi ran—the want of which had long been felt by the po pulation of the country. Independently of the large mineral trails which at present exists, it will be seen that the whole trade of the Death of Ireland must be brought upon the line. Cardigan Wog directly oppo site, and the nearest port to Werford, Waterford, Sc. Sc., to which country this railway will afford the most direct communication with the very centre of the kingdom. Im mense quantities of lime, anal, and eulm, as also cattle, sheep, pigs, and farming produce, together with general merchandise, must necessarily be borne over this line for a considerable distance, and which, from the most careful cal culations of MSc taken on the spot, is estimated will res lies a dividend of upwards of 7 per cent. Cardigan em ploys a fleet of nearly 600 vessels, varying from 23 to 160 tons each, which are constantly carrying merchandise to and from that port ; the whole of the imports, and a great por tion of the exports, must pass along a great portion of the line. Mr. Crosse concluded by informing the meeting, that when the proposed harbour of refuge be completed at Cardigan, a vest increase of trade would be brought to that port, and consequently the traffic upon this line would be augmented to a cons iderable extent, and that it was in tended to apply for a charter of incorporation for the for station of the same forthwith. JAYS/ RICHARDSON, Rell, e C.R., exhibited plane and sections, and pointed out to meeting the proposed route. The line Is intended to ecenneues by a junction with the South Wales Railway at ClRVlSidbill, ea taking Its course northerly along the °lan and Carved valleys, will thence pass by way of Llaadhaegel, Llaadysil. and Newcastle Rmlyn, to Cardigan, thee frrmiag a direct means of com munication between the aseth-westarn portion of the Welsh oast and the metropolis, es also the whole of the manufac turing and comeseriet awl& throughout England. In length the line will be about IA miles, it will be constructed on the broad game and no engineering difficulty presents itself beyond that of usual occurnmon OwlIN Bowser, Req., the seasetery, produced the petitions to parliament in furrier of the NO ler *eater% end the same were signed by the landleemers and ausietrates and others preseat. It was proposed by D. Davies, BK., justice of the pesee for Cardiganshire and Pembrokeshire ; and seconded by Alderman T. Darns, that in the opinion of this meeting the ezplations of the directors of this railway and the engi neer were very satisfactory, and the meeting pledged them selves to support the formation of the railway by taking 'shares, or otherwise, so soon as the act for constraoting the railway shall be obtained. A vote of thanks to the Mayor, also to the deputation, was proposed and seconded, after which the meeting closed. A similar meeting was held at Newcastle Emlyn, on the previous day, E Li. H. litswilliams, Esq., in the chair, which mat with squally encou ra ging support. A third meeting was advertised m be held at the Ivy Bush Hotel. Carmarthen, on Wednesday last, but owing to the Quarter Sessions being_ held at the same time, added to the dreadful inclemency of the weather, the attendance wee but limited. The petition to the House of Lords and Commons, pray. log for the construction of the line was signed by the Mayor and a number of the most influential inhabitants, and we believe the deputation was fully sati , fled with the result. PARIS TO RAILWAY. The first general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held on Saturday, in one of the large rooms connected with the terminus Li the Rue d'Anuter dam, Count de Chaseeloup-Lanbat, the president, in the chair. The following directors, vie., Count de Kersaint, Viscount Napoleon Dachitel, Viscount Denys Benoist d'Asy, M. H. de l'Eapee, jun., Mr. B. Blount, and Mr. W. Reeeedd were present. The meeting having been declared sufficient in number, M. Mink and M. Ebeling, as the largest shareholders resent, were requested to perform the functions of scrutators, and M. de Senville to set as secre tary. The Chairman then called on M. Thibaudean, counsel of the company, to read the report. This document consists of three parte, the first relating to the formation of the company, and to the powerful emirs lace given by the Rouen Company to that effect; the se cond, which speaks of the amalgamation proposed between the Cherbourg line, and those of Rouen, Barre, Dieppe, and the Western ; and the third. giving an amount of the measures taken for the execution of the line, of the expense, and of the probable return on the capital expended. On the first part, which has been already more than once brought before she notice of the public, it is unnecessary to dwell, as it is a matter well known to the world that the difficulties which so long prevented the execution of the Cherbourg line were only removed when it was known that the directors of the Upuen Company bad given the en terprise their decided co-operation. In fact, it was only in consequence of that circumstance that the government eery-. ceded the liar on its present conditions, and that the sober:rip- . tion of the shares was at once filled up. A part uf the shares having been reserved to the shareholders of the Rouen Com pany,about.4oo of these lattersubseribed (or 15,000. The whole capital of 60,000 shares was divi led at first amongst 903 shareholders, and since has been thus distributed:—b76 ! shareholders holding from 1 to 19 shares, make up 6,064 shares; 478 from 20 to 100, 25,558; sail 114 holding 101 shares and above, 28,378. With respect to the **goad por tion of the report—that relating to the amalgamation—the! board of directors of the Cherbourg Company is declared to be most anxious to join in any measures likely to draw closer the bonds already connecting it with the Rouen Company. But in affairs of this kind, where the interests of various companies are concerned, difficulties sometimes arose which a mere theoretical examination could never ' have anticipated. It had been found necessary, in the present case, to examine the subjrct of the amalgamation at great length and in various points of view, and, up to the present time, nothing had been decided. Two dile gates had been appointed by the Cherbourg board to meet a like number of delegates from each of the other companies interested, and the matter was mill pend ing. Thu third part of the report commences by stating I that the direction of the works had been entrusted to Mr. Lucke, who had been the head engineer on the Rouen line, sad who had executed several important lines in England. At present all that was to be taken into consideration was ' the first section of the line—from the point at which it qaitted the Rouen Railway as far es Caen. As to the mond section—from Caen to Cherbourg—it was to be con structed according to the law of 1842, that is, the state pur chasing the land and making the line, whilst the company laid down the iron way and provided the working stock. As the government had not as yet come to the decision rela tive to the route to be adopted for this latter section, the company had for the moment to leave it out of considera tion. As there were certain difficulties of execution in the section of the line to Caen, the board had thought it pru dent to accept an offer made by the well-known railway contractors, Messrs. Petri, Betts, and Dewey, to execute that part of the line, d furfait, tor a sum of 25,700,000 fr., the company being chargeable only with the rails and chairs, the sidings, the statious, the turn-tables, and the working and stationary stock. The total expense of the first section had been estimated by the government engi neers at 62,0.10,000 fr. The board had taken that sum as the basis of its operations, and as the groundwork f,r forming an estimate of the return on the capitol. The above treaty was under the valuation thus made; and, in addition, the ,board had entered into contract. for the rails ' and chairs at prices inferior to the original calculation. The rails were to cost 2501. the ton, and the chairs 1631. the ton being lower than such articles could be at present fur -1 skied in England. The whole amount of this contract !mos 4,600,600 f. The interest on the capital to be paid daring construction was included in the 52 millions; and ea le the (liana expenses of administration, the board had yeevided for everything relating to that item Uy Iseetracting with the Rouen and Havre compe ting to furnish all that might be required fur a sum of dILOOIf. a year. In consequence of these various arrange ments, the board felt confident that the original estimate world nut be exceeded, and hoped even that some economy on that sum might be effected. As the state accorded a subvention of 16 millions on the first section, there re• mained 30 millions at the charge of the company ; but as the amount which it would have to pay on the second sec tion was about 12 millions, the whole sum at its charge would be 48" millions, or about 152,00df. the kilometre. The report then enters into calculations to arrive at the probable revenue of the line, and comes to the. conclusion that it ought to amount to 8.69 per cent. on the capital fur the beet section, and 9.15 per cent. for toe second. By the terms of the statutes, the concessionaries were to be repaid the expenses which they had '.incurred antecedently to the degree approving of the statutes, the first general meeting having to examine the documents brought forward in support of such outlay. In the present case, not a sou had been expended, and the meeting had consequently no decision to come to en the point. The report concluded by referring to the yearly allowance to be made to the board of directors, and proposed that the sum for twelve directors managing a line of 317 kilometres (198 English miles), should be 46,000 f. The reading of the report having terminated, a stormy discussion ensued, sustained chiefly by MM . Macavoy and I Klett, who demanded the resignation of the entire board, lon the ground that the present directors held positions in whet. companies incompatible with their duty to this ; and by M. Benoist d'Asy, who declared that the members of the Cherbourg board were completely independent. The meeting, being consulted, decided unanimously, minus two votes, in favour of the board, The question of according tke 65,0001. a year to the board of directors was then decided in the affirmative almost unanimously. A Voice—" We also pass a vete of Bunks to the board." (Yes, yes.) The proceedings having then concluded, the meeting separated in considerable agitation. ENGLISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELE GRAPH COMPANY. The first general meeting of this company, which has been incorporated by royal charter, took place at their offices, 1, North John-street, Liverpool, a few days since, and was attended by • very numerous and influential body of shareholders. There were present Joseph C. Ewart,Esq., chairman; Edward Cropper, EEL. deputy chairman; and the other direct in. The royal chilrter of the company lay on the board table, and was an object of interest to many, who for months past had seen all attempts to bring out telegraph companies, beaded by a promise of royal charter and limited liability. The document was the more satisfac tory to the shareholders, from the fact of its being duly en dorsed and certified by the proper authorities, that all its required conditions had been fulfilled. The directors entered into a full explanation of the origin and incorporation of the company . Mr. Henley, the patentee of the invention, and a few friends, had obtained an act of parliament under the title of the " Magnetic Telegraph Company." The indispensable clause of "limited responsibility" not being included in this act, no further progress was made for some time—until a few gentlemen determined to give this new system a full and fair trial, subscribed the necessary funds, and laid a complete under- Lround line of telegraphic communication between iverpool, Wigan, Bolton, and Manchester. After two months' of successful working, and having ascertained that a charter could be obtained under certain strict conditions, they purchased the rights and privileges of the patentees, and brought out the undertaking with the shove title, the authorised sapital consisting of 300,0001. in 6,000 shares of 601. each (with certain powers to increase) ; and 3,000 shares were at once planed among private friends. The capital account of the company, including the amount received from the deposits, and particulars of its expendi ture, was then submitted to the shareholders; and after wards a separate account, showing the net from the eerarasoications ea the experimental line, which gave satis factory indications of the continued and increasing success of the line. The engineer's report was then read, girths the number of miles of telegraphic communication constructed and now in full operation, the lines nearly completed, and the con trasts in course of progress connecting the following towns —Lines completed, conne cting Liverpool, Wigan, Bolton, Manchester, Proem Coln*, Blackburn, Accrington, and Bury ; Edinburgh, Greenock, Paisley, Glasgow, and Car lisle; Dahlia, 111011lagar, Athlone, Ballinasloe, and Gal way.

The great trunk line now being coa -1 stracted between London, Liverpool, end Manchester will consist of ten wires, thoroughly insulated and protected, and laid at a depth of two feet underground along the old sal road,. The wheelies was then made special, according to notice, es reposi b the deed of settlement, in order to obtain lie eattetles of the proprietors to the various arrangements I liende by the directors, and the necessary resolutions were posed unanimously. After a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors, the meeting separated. ANTI-STATE CIIIIRCE ABSOCLiTION.-A public meeting of this association—the first of • series of four—was held yesterday evening at the Educational Institute, 58, Aldersgate-street ; Mr. E. Clarke in the chair. The Chair man observed that the association embraced persons of all creeds, and all sections of the Christian world. What was taxing place in the established church aided. their exer tions, and they must hail even the Bishop of Exeter as one of the clergy who had done them great and good service. They looked for results in the justice of their cause, and believed the good of the community to be involved; in their success. As address was then delivered by Mr. John Kingsley on "The Ecclesiastical Events of 1852." In the course of his remarks he observed that it was satisfactory to know that 1852 had had its ecclesiastical events. 13011- cient had occurred to prevent an abatement of pub lic interest in the question. The object wbich they aimed at had at length emerged from ob. seurig, and it was on all hands beginning to be regarded as a possible, if not the only possible attempt to readjust the claims of the secular and the spiritual, in our patchwork constitution. He then commented upon the case of Mr. Whiston, as causing, in the result, ktendency in the right direction; the sinecurism of the Rev. Mr. Moore, as a striking example of the abuses of the state church; the appointment of the Rev. Mr. Bennett to the vicarage of Frome, as a gross violation of the coneienocs and religious liberties of the inhabitants; while the turn which the discussion took in parliament showed the utter Incompetency of the legislature to deal with religious ques tions ; the partially-sacocasful attempt to protract the sit tinge of Convocation for the transaction of business, and thus to recover advantages of which the church had been de prived by her connexion with the state; the history andeha racier of Mr. Glad.stons'ecolonial bill; the Maynooth grant, &c ; all these being regarded as affording either evidences of progress or reasons for aiming at a total separation of church and state. The speaker, in his concluding remarks, quoted • from a speech of Lord Falkland, in the reign ofCharles 1., in which the prelates of that day were described as wishing to set up a popery distinct from that of Rome, yet the same in spirit; and he contended that this RSA • true portraiture of the high churchmen of the preseat day, though there was little probability of society, es now constituted, allowing them to set up • spiritual despotism. A discussion followed, which was entirely in accordance with the foregoing; and a vote of thanks was given to Mr. Kingsley for his address. SPORTING. LATEST BETTING AT MANCHESTER. Tv IBISDAY.

FATAL SUMMERSAULT. —Yesterday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the London Hospital, on view of the body of George Alexander Belgue, aged 20 years.
