That an humble ',lards be presented to het mast G ro uses Maj.sty, to assure her Majesty that this house j et ty regrets to learn from the despatch of the Right g,,er'Sir John l'akington, her Majesty's Principal &m -use of State fur the Colonies, that het Majesty's imperial mai den are not prepared to introduce • bill to repeal the Imperial Act 1 and 4 Viet., cap. 78, intituled, " An Act to roseate for the sale of the clergy reserves in the ravines . of Canada, and fur the distributional the proceeds teener 2 That whatever difference of opinion may exist among th, teeple of Canada as to the best mode of disposing of the revenues derived teem the lands known as Clergy Reserves, threat mass of the people will ever maintain the rein e:ple r. cognised by the Right lion. the Earl (hey, then her itlaj,t)'• Trincipid Secretary of State for the Colonies, in', 1.. 0 ,h Taub of 27th Janur.ry, 1851, to the Right lion. the E..t: .t Elgin and Kincardine, that the question whether the existing arrangement " is to be maintained or altered is one so delusively effecting the people of Canada that its decisian ought not to be withdrawn from the provincial kg:slature, to which it properly belongs to regulate all matt. n concerning the domestic interests of the province." 3 'Chat while the people of Canada:are devotedly attached to her Majesty's person and government, and mast anxious to maintain inviolate the connexion which binds them t o the great empire over which she rules, yet this brume is bound by a high sense of duty to inform her Majesty that the refusal on the part of the WIN-rid parliament to comply with the jest demands of th,Cans.ss people on a matter caciutively affecting their owo ii..erests, will be viewed as a violation of their itersti tsttiomil rights, and will kakis sleep and widespread die.

That this house in well aware that attempts have been made to induce her Majesty's imperial ministers to here that the present representatives of the people of Canada entrrtain opini ;ris on the subject of the repeal of the Clergy Reserves Act Itlrrint from those expressed by the late parliament. .1.

Pilot this house can seareely doubt that the principle of ani,hdine the present act being admitted, her Majesty's ministers will yield to the strong feeling which pervades the Canalisn people, that any new legiolative enactments regarding the clergy reserves should be framed by their can ri peek ntatives instead of by the imperial parliament, which, being necessarily unacquainted with the state of ooieion in Canada, cannot be expected to concur in a me.isere that will give pun/neat satisfaction to its la des tarts. 7. That this house desires to assure her Majesty that, in thus giving expression t the public opinion of the country, it is by the strongest feelings of loyalty to her Majesty, and by • sincere desire to prevent those lament. sm.• !Isamu's:tees which must he the result of a collision Unwed the imperial and provincial parliaments on • guess tia“ on which very stront feelings ars known to prevail among the people of this province.

The landlord informed him that he had no eanill,s about the house, but that, if he would follow him, he would take him to a bed.

Y. 111cChriatie, the Revising Barrister, made the following obeetratior.s. We have now fi nished the revision of the lists of the Livery, and before we proceed to the inhabitant houeekolders' lists, I may make a very few observations on what has traaapired. All that is required of a liserymaa to entitle him to be registered* that he shall be a free man and liveryman of one of the compaaies, that he shall have resided within seven miles of the polling plant fur the six months next preview!, to the last day of July, and that his Christina same and saroeme ant ibe Imeriptioa of his plots, of abeds, shall be gives nide list whisk is planet before me to revise. This ye ar a nss isal many avietious were taken to tie names of bong sobbed on the lists, principally ea the green' den the deenbelses given of their places of abode area isserreet, or insufficient for identifies tioa t w aril a l= ir it lle be quite impassible in some cases to identify dotes* plume( abode by the deacriptioas given. Yee kataaare , New Bridge street was the description given of ere liveryman's place of abode, who had not resided there fro the last seven years, but at some locally described place at Ruda-hill. Au objection was token to his name being retained in the list on that ground. It was urged eosins, that I had no power to expunge that name, even if the realer proper de. ecription of the liveryman's abode could not have been sup plied to me, because, as was said, the qualification was not attacked, but admitted to be sufficient. It was likewise urged that although New Bridge-street was not the descrip tion of the voter's abode, yet that it was that of his place of business, which ought to be considered seamiest. Now, the place of his business is not required to be given; and undoebteuly his abode is no part of s livery man's qualifica tion ; bat schedule C, No. 1, of 6 Vie., e 18. expreeely re quires that the description of his place of abode' shall be stated, and the 40th see. of that act meets, that if' the place of abode • • in the judgment of the revising barrister be insufficiently described for the purpose of being identified, such barrister shall expunge the name of every such person from such list, unless the matter or matters so omitted, or insufficiently described, be supplied to the satisfaction of such baniner before he ahall have completed the revision of such list, in which case he shall then and there insert the same in such list.' The deseeiptions of the abodes of the livery have hitherto been most inaccurately —or, at any rate, insulticiently—given in the lists. Of course there have been exceptions to that, but they have been compara tively few. This year, where objections have been taken, and the proper descriptions supplied, I have corrected them. Where the descriptions have been wholly inaccu rate, I have inserted the proper ones, when I have been informed of them ' • and in those eases I have not given ccets against the objector. Where I hare thought the descriptions, though not per. fectly correct, yet not so insufficient as to justify objections, I have given cods, although I have in several of such stances added to, or altered, the descriptions so as to make them aecursee. I believe I have no power eerier the statute either to Sae the clerks of the livery companies or to order then to pay costs; and I am anxious that the mobsestead it is imperatively necessary that the fifth* place debacle should be given, sad stated em with assery.

The composition of Lloyd, second Grecian, was considered by the examiners very nearly equal in merit to that of the sucees-ful compe titor. Most of the other orations were clever compositions, but that of Lloyd was, perhaps, delivered with the most spirit. The English oratioo of Sweetitig, and the English poem of Watt., contained elusions to the decease of the Duke of Wellington, and wan well received. Tho hail, with nearly • thousand scholars in the organ gallery, and perhapa 1,500 spectators on the floor and on the governors platform, presented an interesting spectacle.

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S FUNERAL. The following letter, from the Prime Minister to the Home Secretary, was received this morning, and it will be seen that it contains the wishes of her Majesty respecting the disposal of the remains of the illustrious Duke: BALMORAL, SZPT. 20, I£o2. Sir,—Her Majesty received with the deepest grief on Thursday last the afflicting intelligence of the sudden death of his Oran the Duke of Wellington. Although the Oaten could not for a moment doubt that the voice of the country would be 11L1911i0101/11 upon the subject of the honours to be paid to the memory of the greatest man of the iige, her Majesty eonsid.•red it due to the feelings of his Oraoe's surviving relations that no steps should be taken even in his honour without their previous concurrence, and, accordingly, on the same eye ain't, in obedience to her Majesty's commands, ' wrote to Lord Charles Wellesley (the present Duke having not then returned to England) to asvrtain whether the late Duke had left any directions, or whether his family desired to 'event any wish upon the subjel,anil suggesting the course which appeared to her Majesty best calculated to give expression to those feelings in which the nation, as one man, will sympathise with her Majesty. Having this day received letters from the present duke and his brother to the effect that the late Duke has left no directions on the subject, and placing themselves wholly in her Majesty's hands, I hasten to relieve the public anxiety by signifying to you, for general information, the commands which I have received fnim her Majesty. The great apace which the name of the Doke of Wel lington has filled in the history of the last fifty years—his brilliant achievements in the field, his high mental quali ties, his long and faithful services to the mown, his untiring devotion to the interests of his country—constitute claims upon the gratitude of the nation which • public fennel, though it cannot setisfy, at least may serve to recognise. Iler Majesty is well aware that, as in the case of Lard Nelson, she might, of her owe authority, have given imme diate orders for this public mark of veneration for the memory of the illustrious Duke, and has no doubt but that parliament and theconntry would cordially have approved of the step. But her Majesty, anxious that this tribute of grati tude and of sorrow should be deprived of nothing which *sold invest it with • thoroughly national character i ' anxious that the greatest possible number of her subjects should have an opportunity of joining it, is anxious, above all, that such honour should not appear to emanate lions the crown alone, and that the two Houses of Parliament should ►ave an opportunity by their previous sanction, of stamping the proposed ceremony with incensed solemnity, and of associating themselves with her Majesty in paying honour to the memory of ono whom no Englishman can name with out pride or sorrow. The body of the Duke of Wellington will, therefore, re- main, with the concurrence of the family, under proper guardianship, until the Queen shall have received the for- I seal approval of parliament of the course which it will be the duty of her Majesty's servants to submit to both houses, open their resseembling. As soon as powible, after that approval shall have been obtained, it is her Majesty's wish, should no unforeseen impedi ment arise, that the mortal remains of the late illustrious and venerated Commander-in-Chief should, at the public expense and with all the solemnity due to the greatness of the occasion, be deposited in the cathedral church of St. Paul's, there to rest by the aide of Nelson, the greatest military by the side of the greatest naval chief who ever reflected lustre upon the annals of England. I hare the honour to he, Sir, Your most odedieet and tumble servant, The Right Hon. S. 11. Walpole. • Dias:. The body will remain for the present at Widmer ; while it continues in that position a military guard, consisting of a detachment of the Rifle Bri, of which the late Duke was colonel, will be placed to keep watch. When the last accounts left Balmoral, the Earl of Derby was on the point of settin4 out for Knowsley. In all probabilityhe started yesterday, and his stay was thought likely to extend to several thys. It is believed that the Queen and Prince Albert would remain some time longer (perhaps a week or two) in Scotland. The new Doke of Wellington visited the metro polis yesterday, and had an interview with Lord Fitz roy Somerset. fie returned to Wilmer Castle in the evening. Ms Grace has been rejoined by the Duchess at Widmer. The public may be interested in the fact that the person who constructed the car in which Nelson's coffin was conveyed to St. Faure still survives, and that he is most anxious to driven nail in that which is to enclose the remains of Wellington. A symptom of the readiness with which all parties in authority will lend their aid at the ap• preaching ceremony, has been found in the case of the Commissioners of the Metropolitan Roads, who have intimated thus early their desire to place all the leading thoroughfares in proper condition —a work which they say can be accomplished within two or three days after they have received a proper notification. It is impossible to convey an adequate idea of the anxiety which is being manifested throughout thecoun try to attend the funeral. In all the towns which lie along the Great Northern Railway and other lines information is being most eagerly sought with regard to the removal of the body to London, and there can be no doubt that had it been determined to convey it to Apeley-hawse at once, the metropolis would this week hays her visited by crowds of persons throng ing together to witness the lying in state. It is to be bossed that tide ardent longing to pay homage to the great sea who has left no will not be disap painted, bat that, by the selection of some suitable place seek so Westminster Hall, and other conve ners; arrangements, the nation which has suffered the lees wag be able to pas by the remain of the deemed. A strong desire is also generally expressed that the tassel itself should be on as grand, that is as national, t sale as possible. Our reputation for such ceremonials is by no means high, Nelaon's funeral in particular being considered a mess of incongrui ties and bad taste. The Earl Marshal, who will issue the pesteamme, is doubtless learned in all that relates to such matters. There is a danger, how ever, that his plan may be too heraldic. The obse quies of Monk and Marlborough may look well on paper; but times are changed, and what was fitting when they were celebrated - would be ridiculous now. The Duke of Wellington, moreover, was not merely a general—the greatest tho country ever produced— but a statesman and a citizen, and in the latter capa cities no leas then the former won the regard of the nation. Ile himself would never have thought of enacting a servile imitation of the manners of a by gone age ; , and those who have the ordering of his funeral should also pay the some regard to the change of circumstances and the passage of time. The Lirerpout Standard states that the following memorial was laid upon the tables of the Exchange news room on Friday, for signature :—" To the Worshipful the Mayor: We, the undersigned, beg respectfully that you will call • public meeting, so soon as may be convenient, for the purpose of giving the inhabitants of the good old loyal town of Liverpool an opportunity of expressing their feelings upon the great loss this country has sustained in the recent demise of his Grace the Duke of Wellington." The local clergy, (says the Cheltenham Journal,) in their sermons yesterday, feelingly alluded to the me lancholy Inch, for the last tew days, has formed the all-aluorbing subject throughout the country. It may not Its known to many of our readers that the departed warrior statesman visited Cheltenham in the year 1810, and that, on the evening of the 29th of July in that •year, the splendid ball-room connected with the lar g o p i l e of buildings known as the Assembly Rooms, was opened under his patronage. During his stay here, his grace planted an oak tree in the grounds at the rear of • mansion then standing in Wel lington.street„ in commemoration of which an obelisk sat erected ; this hu since been purchased by Lord Northwick, and removed to thu guden attached to Thirlestaine-house.

Ths skeletons, which were right in number, spneitrell to hare been buried with great care, though perhaps hurriedly, as the remains of their mots of mail were clearly discernible, proving they fell in combat. One of the individuals was • person of gi?antic stature, the skeleton measuring over seven feet. In his hand was found a large sp.nr, the metal of which is still perfect. Various reasons are rosigned for the bodies 'wing found iu this situation, but the best assign obis) reason appears to be that they are the remains of those who fell during the troubles of the commonwealth.

I The following particulars of the Duke of Marl borough's funeral are extracted Nom the London Poet of 1728: " Last Friday (July the 13th) the Duke of Montagu* was at the late dwelliag-house of the Duke of Marl borough, to view the dispositions for his fiewal, which, 'tie said, will be solemnised the 9th of nest mends. Five of the lower rooms are not yet quite hung with mourn ing, in one of which, which is the largest, is a canopy of etate over the corps, which latter is about throe foot from the ground, with fins black cloth round it for the mates and other attendants. The deceased'. domestics attend already day and night in mounting round the corpse, and are relieved every four hours ; in soother room is • chai: of state with egutcheons, representing the victories and trophies of the late duke of renowned memory, and, among other arms are those of the Empire, the picture of Prises Eugene, the Earl of Catlegan, and other great gene rals, who assisted to the glorious battle at Hecht/ter. "The open hoarse, made by Mr. Awberry, for the obse quies of the late Duke of Marlborough, is finished, and ell poesible expedition is used in completing eveiything for the approaching Niteroi, which is nicdellcd according to that of General Monk, with this variation, among others, that the lists duke's hearse is to be drawn by eight horses, whereas that of General Monk hid only "The Duke of Marlborough's Normal will be performed as we are told, after the following manner:—The body is to be received into an open hearse, with a velvet canopy over it, in St. James's-park, 'art of the garden wall belong ing to his grate's late dwellir.glioug being first taken down.

On Monday evening a public meeting of " Lease holders, householders, owners of property, and others in the vicinity of Cope laid.," was held at the Brecknock Arms Tavern, Ct=Temei-villas, "to consider the eligi bility of the propels' sits, and to co-operate with the corpo ration of Limas la tate eslablieltment of the market in Co pentiegenslelda." The meeting was sioviesd for 8 o'clock, and half-past 8 having arrived, the mma being crowded by the respectable inhabttanta of dm Clamisa-mad-vlllas and the surrdunding neighbourhood, put dimatisfaction was manifested, and it was proposed that Mt. J. W. Streeter, the chairman of the 0111111011111 hawmal leappos. the cattle market bring brought to *said take the chair. Mr. Streeter te • ni ail 1a bed been informed that those ealkd the MmHg. wield be in ettendanee in five minutes. (Laughter and disapprobation.) Shortly altar Mr. Newman, a large builder, and one or two others, en tered the room, and stated that Dr. Gregory was to have taken the chair, but was too poorly to attend. (Renewed laughter.) Mr. Booth then moved, and Mr. CLARIC seconded, that Mr. Streeter take the chair, amidst loud apples**. An amendment was moved that Mr. Newman take the chair, but the former was carried almost unanimously. The CRAICMAN naming alluded to the strangeness of his position—the opponent of a scheme chosen to preside over a meeting called to promote it—said he did not know who was the promoter of the meeting, but it seemed to have been meant for a hole-and-corner affair, as not a bill had been posted till Sunday morning, and then only outside that tavern. After the address of 680 inhabitants against the proposed market, presented to the Secretary of State by a deputation headed by the Marquis Camden, he thought the pretence of calling a public meeting in favour of it was assumed only to boas the government for the advantage of a clique. Mr. NEWMAN /aid he was one of those who bed got up that meeting, but ho must confess those he had expected to support him had not come. (Laughter.) The opponents had got it all their own way. (Renewed laughter.) But, with two or three exceptions, they were merely house holden, who had only six months' rent at stake. (Oh, oh.) They all lived on the Camden estate, and not within a quarter of a mile of the new market. (" No, no," and confusion.) It was said Copenhagen-fields was not an eligible site. (Hear.) He would show that it was; and Mr. Shaw, the surveyor of the Camden estate, had told hint it would do no injury to the Camden Wets property whatever. Mr. Newman then read his reasons to show the eligibility of Copenhagen-fields as a site for a cattle market, and concluded with a motion favourable to the project. This having been seconded by Mr. Poulson, Mr. TKIILAWNT BAUNDERA said he would move an amendment. (Cheers.) Ile had taken a house in that neighbourhood in order that he might enjoy the beautiful pure air for which it was proverbial, and if the market came all his hopes would be destroyed. So far from wish ing to consult the feelings of the people, the getting up thin Imeeting was a vile attempt to set aside the feeling of the people for private and interested purposes. If the 'people were in favour of the new market, where were they that night ? lye moved an amendment to the effect " that the meeting disapproved altogether of the removal of Smith field to the midst of the villas surrounding Copenhagen. fields, cordially concurred with the operation of the com mittee already appointed to support the interests of the in habitants, and pledged itself to give them its best support." (Chown.) Mr. PART, surgeon, seconded the amendment, and de nounced the market in a sanitary mint of view, and as being unhealthy, end said if it came there, one of the plans being to erect abattoirs, the houses would be infested with rata—(hear, hear)—and the neighbourhood with costar mongen. (Laughter.) The amendment was carried by an overwhelming majo rity, amidst great applause anil laughter, there being only GM or seven hands for the original minion. A Cnau KILLED WITH lINDNESB.—On Thursday Mr. G. 8. Brent held an inquest at the Chalk Farm Tavern, on Stephen Claw/ly, the infant son of Mr. Cleverly, Mill tee, Grovo-street. The child had been put to sleep on a down pillow. The nurse, after leaving her charge upon the pillow, returned in n short time, wheii she fould it upon its face quite dead , its load having been buried in the soft pillow, whereby it was smothered. The coroner remarked that he never met with a clearer came of death through kindness. Verdict, „ Accidental death." " !" 7 .7 HEALTH OF LONDON. The 08661 report lays: A further, though not considerable, diereses in the mortality of London appears in the morn of last week. The deaths registered were 913. Is the ten corresponding weeks of the years 181241, the areeags camber was 1.039, which, if • correction is made for Ic anw registeredof sopulatime, will be 1,113. The high est numberin any corresponding week was 1,981, in the year 1 319, during the cholera epidemic ; the lowest camber oemarred la 1842, and was 766. As regards the causes to which the deaths are referred, the results of lee week, when compared with those of the preceding, show a (iodine undcr.the following heads: tuber. cider diseases, diseases of the nemesis system, and of the heart ; while a small increase is apparent in the zymotie class, arising priecipally from' dianhcoa and scarlatina. Fatal oases of diarrhea and ditentery increased from 06 to 1 11 9 ; those of scarlatina from to 67. Fite deaths from cholera were registered in the precious week; 8 in the last. Only 2 deaths are recorded as caused Ly measles. The me of small-pox number not more than 12, and all, ex cept one, occurred to children ; a gardener, aged 32 years, who Lad lately come from Wei bridge and had not been vaccinated, hasing died ct the &else at Queen-street, Camden-town. The following are the eight death' returned as caused by cholera : In Belgrave sub-district, at 4, Elizabeth-street, South, on 14th September, a man, lately a coazltmaii, aged 69 years, died of "summer cholera (14 days)." At 30, Vincent-square, Westminster, on 15th September, the Wife of a master cabinet-maker, aged 28 years, " cho len (about 6j hours)." In the sub-district of Golden-square, at 5 Marshall street, 11th September, the sou of a boutm aker,: aged one year, " infantile cholera (2 days)." At 10, Albert-street, Regent's-park, on 16th September, the wife of a tailor, aged 52 years, "cholera (9 days), con secutive fever (4 days)." In Clerkensell, at 9, Lower Wood-street, on 11th Sept, the wife of a fellowship porter, aged 33 years, "cholera (60 hours)." In Roston Old Town, at 52, Old Gloucester-street, on 12th September, the wife of a cab proprietor, aged 39 years " bilious cholera (6 weeks), consecutive typhus and erysi pelas (2 weeks)." In the subdistrict of St. Paul, St. George in the East, at 17, Johnson street, on 12th September, the son of a car per.ter, ag, d 17 months, "cholera infantum (T days)."

At 3, Turner-square, Aldgate, on 11th September, the son of a labourer, aged 11 mouths, (Led of "dentition, diarrbma culliquative, tales niesentcrica (1 mouths)." The medical attendant in this case, and surgeon of the parish, writes on hie certificate: " This death was the consequence of wilful neglect continued throughout four months in re spect of diet and medicine, combined with the bad sanitary oundition of the locality. I am convinced that on an in. quest a jury would not convict, for they would not believe the facts of the case as being unnatural and monstrous. It may be asked whether it would hot be advisable in the present or similar casts when they occur in future to sum mon the offenders before a magistrate to answer for their offence." _ At 4, rierrepont-rlace, Islington, the daughter and son of a hootcloser, aged respectisdy l year and 3 years, died on the Bth end litho( September, of starlatina followed in the letter case by typhus. The informant attributed these deaths to decayed vegetable matter kept on the premises. There is but sue yard to this and four other houses. Three deaths were registered last week that occurred in Highbury-vale, Islington, viz., On the 10th of September, in Myrtle-street, the son of a butler, aged ono =oath, died of "atrophy from birth."

The open sewer is also at the ack of this house. Oa 12th September, at College place, the son of an attorney's cle-k, aged 3 years, " pertussis (2 months), convulsions (one hour)." The registrar adds:— " This place (Ilighbury-vale) is in a hollow, bouadcd by the high ground of Ilighbury, the aqueduct of the New River, and the embankment of the Great Northern Rail way. Not only is its position unfavourable, but an open sewer runs through it, at all times offensive, but particularly in hot weather. 'though Fonic of the belt houses of Isling ton are in the immediate neighbourh:od, there is not suf. ficient local inflamer to cause this sewer to be enclosed." Seven children died from want of breastrailk. Mr. Frulk ner, the registrar of the south sub.district of St. Giles-in the•Fields, says:—" Last week I registered two deaths of children produced by want of breastinilk. In one of these cases the child was placed out at nurse, and then deserted by the mother. A third cue was registered last month, and in this instance the mother kept tLe child from birth without its natural food, as she was obliged to resume her' neenpntinn OR a rent,, .nd enn•orpon•ly if flied on the tenth day of its existence. Such facts are of too frequent occur- , fence in my district." Three deaths were registered as caused by carbuncle , i they are as follows :—At 2., Victoria.grove, Paddington, on 1 nt h September, a gardener, aged 48 years, " chronic gout 1 and carbuncle of the back."

EDINBURGH, PERTH, AND DUNDEE I.AILWAT. The report of the directory of this company, which is intended to be submitted to the genteel meeting of the proprietors, to be held on the 29th inst., ct.ifw that the total earnings for the half-year ending 31st of July last amounted to 61,6731., subject to the following deduction s: —Working expenses, h 0.0381.; pier and share dues, cartage, and commission, 4,106!. ,• taxes and government duty. 1,733/. ; interest paid on debenture loans, at the rate of 31 per cunt. per annum, 14,2471.; together, 60,1261., leaving • balance of 11,4461. Of this balance, 1,191/. has been paid as interest, priucipally to the ferry proprietors, at a re duce I rate, in terms of arrangements made with them. Since the clout of the half-year, a further sum of 6,220/. hag bee. appropriated in payment of nix months' interest on the debts due to the banks, at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum, wnicb they have agreed to accept for • fixed period, provided it is punctually paid half.yearly. The earnings for the last half year, as compared with the corresponding period of Ib3l, show an increase of 4,3731. The working ezpenses for the half year ending the 31st of July last einounted to 3%875/., mid those for the cone spending period of 1851 to 37,763/., showing a reduction on the last half year of 1,9061., which, added to the increase in the receipts, shows an increase in the act revenue of 6,280 f. m compared with the corresponding half year of 1851. me whole of the working expenses aro now debited to revenue. The locomotive charges, inclusive of repairs., for the half year have been 8 28d. per mile per train, as against 9 59d. per train per mile in the corresponding period of 1851. or equal to • saving of 13.7 per cent. The St. Andrew's Rail way was opened in July last, and has since been worked by this company, in terms of an agreement between the two companies, and, judging from the amount of traffic which has already passed over that branch, it promises to be a valuable aeees-ory to the line. The arrangement with the Loses Company is precisely the same u the one now in operation with the St. Andrew's Railway Company, with the exception that tho former underta ke to supply an engine fur the service of their line. The Leven Company underhike to find the capital necessary for the construction of the branch line from the town of Leven to the Thornton junction station on the main line, • distance of about six miles, and to provide a locomotive for seeking It. Tho total capital in shares nod leans is fixed nt a sum not ex ceeding 28,0001. On the completion of the branch, the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Compa n y undert ake to work nail maintain it fora period of twenty-five years, End ing the necessary rolling stock, with the exception of the locomotive, which is to be furnished by the Leven Com pany. The earnings of the Leven Company arc to be ap plied—firstly, for the maintenance of the railway and works, taxes, salaries, wages, and, generally all expenses, except ing those which are incidental to the running of the teeing; seeendly, for payment of interest and dividend on loaes (if any) raised by the Leven Company, which shall not exceed 5,0001., and on their share capita!, at a rate not t xee .ling 41 per cent. per annum ; thirdly, for payment to :' c Eein biargh, Perth, and Dundee Company, to compensation of the expenses of working the trains, Is. per mile fur each train run by them on the branch; the surplus, if any, to be equally divided between the t•vo compauies. It is satisfac tory to the directors to state that they have concluded an arrangement for the settlement of the company', affairs, which they trust es id receive the unction: of the aharc holders. In consequence of the resignation of the commit tee of shareholders, the duty of negotiating with the repre sentatives of the several classes of creditors devolved upon the directors; and in the course of the protracted negetia lions which took place, the directors endeavoured to adhehe as closely 33 possible to the principles of settlement recommended by the committee of shareholders, and con curred in by themselves, end which it is intended shall be ratified by act of parliament. In the :original scheme the clai ns of the ordinary creditors were postponed is the order of ranking to the debts for which the directors bail become personally responsible to the banks. Looking to the circumstances under which these debts were originally contracted, the directors believe they could have successfully opposed any attempt to encroach upon the privileges conferred by parliament for their protection.
