Howson, M.A., head muter of the Liverpool Collegiate Institution, presiding. The SICAETART (Mr. Robson) reed the report of the council, annoucing a gratifying and Mostly improvement not only in the number of members, but in the influence and position of the college, which now included some of the meet eminent men in the pro/radon, whose mending and equine runt newt Koine the confidence Girths public. One great public body had already expressed Its willingness to accept the certificates of the College of Preceptors as a sufficient quills talon for Its melte. Daring the last few months 66 new members had joined, amongst whom wore the heed muter* of several important grinner schools and proprietary coi -1 lege. well known throughout the kingdom. Dr. Jacob had accepted the reel> nettle office of dean. The funds at the dia. pual of the c Rind! had enabled them to appoint a secretary, with their thinks to the two gentlemen who previously goes their gratuitous PflTltell OS honorary ucretaries. The council cuirgeated that this college might, more conveniently thin tho I'aiver4tles of Oxford and Cambridge, undertake the local examinations of boys of tender age, and that it might do good serviceto the *atone combining and systema tising the somewhat discordant examinations now required for admiseion into the government tants. The Treasurer's report showed that the receipt. amounted 606471., end there was balance at the beakers of 80., with subscriptions doe to the amount of 4001. Stuns this account was closed, however, subecriptioas had been paid, raising the balance in hand to 1101., and the outstanding accounts had been reduced to 461. The college was otherwise wholly free from debt. 7b;sensports were approved sad adopted; sone allow doss were proposed to the byelaw., thstaks two voted to the Are of the college for their pest services, and other necessary business havieg bees trameacted the proceeding' were brought to a close. COMMERCIAL THAVALLERS' SCHOOLS. On Saturday an examination of the scholars banging to the Commercial Travellers' &hoots look place in the apacioaa school room of the institution at Pinner; and the opportunity was taken by a large number of friends and well-wishers to witness the result and to visit the e.tabliah went. Accordingly some hundreds of visitors were conveyed by the 10.45 train from the Euston station, accompanied by a portion of one of the royal bands, and on their arrival the business of examination was at once proceeded with under the presidency of Mr. O. Moore, who has been from the begin ning the active, melons, and liberal supporter of the institu tion. The scholars, about 130 in number, were examined in scripture history and geography, general geography, reading, English grammar, he'ory, arithmetic, and French, and the result gave general satisfaction. The answers were ready and somunte, and the mistakes—which were few— mostly arose from en over eagerness to be first with the answer. The instruction, es well as the general appearance of the boys and girls, was extremely creditable to the teachers and managers. During the intervals of the examination the children gang selections of vocal music, which were very much appreciated by the visitors. The distribution of prices amongst the children who dis tinguished themselves by their superioritj and good conduct, was then made. But in addition to the general echool prizes, there were special prizes contributed by the president, Mr. Moore, end for which a steparate examination by written question was made by the they. Mr. WOKS. The Rev. Mr. Wicsos, la distributing three prizes, bore testimony to the quality of the education given in these schools, which would bear &incubi' comparison with any schools throuthout the reentry. He then exhorted the scholars when they entered the world to make good nee of the instruction they received, and not to falsify the expectations which had been formed of them in the erhool-room. He could not point out to them a better example of what might be accomplished ey burner habits, activity, and temperance than their chairman. (Hear, bear.) God had not only blessed him with large mean, but with a large and liberal heart, and he wee sure he only expensed the wish of all present when be said—long might be be spared to increase the on sad enrolee the other. (Applause.) The CHAIRMAN then congratulated the Debi/ellen sad the visitors pretest on the satisfactory result of the examina tion they had just witnessed. In all the breaches in which they had been examined their answers were excellent. He would only implore of them, when they entered the world to fight the battle of life, not to forget the pine of their educe hoe and to do nothing which would compromise the school. He had no hesitation In saying the education they received wee worth from 300 i. to 40W. in money (Hear, bear.) That wag an advantage which ebony who were better off in the weld did got posing, sad they ought to tura It to good w enn. He hoped the tir.t money they could epere would be gives to the institution which hod rare' them op and edu cated thorn. These schools hod placed nine children to the competitive examination under the c/xfoed scheme. If they came cif with prize, they would rejoice; if not, the entering into the lists showed that they were endeavouring to deserve them, and it, at all event., proved the seal of the masters. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Moore concluded by moving a vote of thank, to the Rev. Mr. Wilson, which was seconded by Mr. hoes, a member of the committee, and adopted unanimously. The examination and distribution of prises era, th e com pany adjourned tn the dialag-room, where a cold collstion had been prepared. After luncheon the health. of " Her iffejsery," "Mr. Saunders, the Examiner," "the Visitors," "the Committee of Management," &c., were proposed, and duly honoured. In the evening the band plapel, dancing was carried on in thelawo, and altogether the vieitora en joyed • very pleasant day. CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY. The following is the report of the directors, to be submitted tt the meeting of proprietor., on the 30th last.:— " In acc ,rdance with the understanding come to at thelast half-yearly general meeting, that the accounts should be made up annually to Slat October, and presented to the meetings in December, no accounts are appended to this report, and the director., therefore, abstain from any c mnutut on the financial posit'on of the com pany until the meeting in December neat, when they trust to be able to lay before the shareholders a satisfactory etyte noset of the year's working. In the meantime they hope it fa unnecessary to state that the dividends on the debenture stock and preference capital, as well as the interest on tie outstanding &Lettere debt, will be punctually provided for. Under these eireumetanoes the business Wore the prevent meeting will be confined to the election of directors and to the consideration of the proposals contained in the notices of motion, with such revolutions ea may be proposed thereon. The directors retiring by rotation are Mr. Anderson, Mr. lonides, Mr. Ogilvy, end Mr. Denby Seymour, M.P., all of whom are eligible frr re-election. Mr. Seymour, however, on account of his numerous engagement., does not come _ for re-election. Another vacancy hes also occurred by the resignation of Capt. Walter. It does sot appear to your baud necessary under the circumstances to till up those two vacan cies. This, however, is a matter which it is the special province of the shareholders to determine. Some of the provision. in the agreements between thin company and the Brighton Railway Company never having been carried into effect in strict conformity with the term. of the agreements, ft wee determined by the boards of both companies to refer there matter. to Mr. Robert Stephenson, the eminent engineer, who was originally appointed a. refe re e. An award has be en recently made by .that gentleman of a nature favourable to the views of your board, and this Liss led to a reconsideration of the whole subject, which it is hoped will result in a re-arrangement between the two companies on •basis more statbsfactory for both. le the mean time, as the subject is nods r consideration, it is undesirable to make any statement In detail, bet the shareholder. may be as sured tbattheirintereetswill becarefully offended to by the di rectors. The number of visitors to the palace daring the year endint 30th April last has been 1,412,013, beingan in • WWII of 38,078 over the number daring the year ending April 30, 1838, thus showing that the attractions of the palace and perk continue, as they have dons ever since the opening, steadily to lacreess. On the other hand, the directors have not relaxed their effete to curtail the ordi nary expenditure of the uadeetaking Ia every poegible way cessittent with the efficient working of the establishment and with the thorough maintenance of the building. Among other subject. which bays received their special attention may be eneationed the exhibitor.' department, in which a maa rid hope .vernent has been effected, in regard both to the mi• coanactlation for tenants and the amount of rental secured. A considerable portion of the space formerly let to con tractors has now come again into the hands of the company, which the directors anticipate will enable them to eff e ct still further Improvameuts. Arrangements have also been made by which the menegement of the internal and external gardens is now united nada: one heir!, from which advan tageous results may be expected. The shareholders cannot fail to have noticed the marked improvement which has taken place in the picture gallery, particularly in the class of works exhibited there. These changes have evidently given much satisfaction to the visitors, and the directors anticipate still further improvements in this important department of the palace. It is impossible yet to submit any ationrale statement of the results of the Handel Festival. The dime.= ass only congratulate the propristore on the remarkable wean with which Its celebration has been attended. It has realised all the expectations they ...peeved eosestudag it in their last report, and will he highly adventure:um to the company fa a pecuniary point of new. The directors beg to call the attention of the shareholders to the Crystal Palace Art Maim, which L. been received with much favour by the public, sad which they think will be found to Ise delerviag of their support." CITY OF LONDON HOSPITAL FOR DISBAR= OP Till CUT, VICTORI %•PAItIL.—Tbe avoitor of polka. rolioved .4 Ai* inothation awing kit welt wee 4013, of which 191 DEBTBUCTION BY ?I la OF THE SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY STATION 41'1141018U. READING, SUNDAY. A fire of a fearful character, which ha; resulted in the entire destruction of the railway station belonging to the South Eastern Company, occurred hare at an early hour this morning. The citation was an entirely wooden struc ture, containing booking.offloe, first and ascend-daze welds; rooms, suyesintesdeet's office, Sc. Adjoisdng wee covered platform, shout 100 feet In length, and frees It ell the trains were desystched for London. A lamp room was erected at the extreme end of the platform, and it was In this pleas the fire appears to have originated. About half-past three o'clock two engine cleaners, who were engaged at the en giee-honse, about 200 or 300 yards distant, and a watchman as duty at the steam observed fire ptooteding from the lamp room. As alarm was instantly given, and the superintendent, Mr. Haab, who resides about a quarter of a mile from the audios, wee in a short time on the spot. In half an hour the flames had weed along the covered platform and ignited the bookiereace, a brisk wind pre , veiling at the time. Mr. Haste, 111111761 to save the books, ticket-boxes, and the cwih-box, containing about 1001., has tened to the back put of the station, h*ng to get an m erino there, but was prevented by the reW approach of the flames. Ho then attempted to enter through the window of his office, the door of the station beisg locked where the chest containing the cash and notes wee plsced, but the flames prevented his accomplishing his Ojai. As the fire had than got possession of the bulling, it was im poesibte for any one to ester for tk• purpose of sevieg any portion of the property from its impending destruction. About • dozen carriages, and two or three horse boxes, stand ing by the side of a covered platform, were shouted down the lie. some dietetic. by the two engine cleaners, who were the first at the scene of conflagration, and some men who were on night duty et the Greet Western Railway Station. Some of the carriages ern damaged by the action of the heat on the paint, and a luggage truck, which stood on • side line, was burnt. By four o'clock the station was one mans of flames, and pieces of burning wood ffyieg about set fire to the thatch of • stable in • yard shout 20 feet blow the level of the railway. There were 15 L= m belonging to the company, in this stable, and as it eras that the building must be destroyed, the attention of some of the railway officials was directed towards effecting their rescue. With some dtfil eulty they were all got out, but the soaps was a very nar row one. The animals galloped in a frightened et.te into the yard, and thence into the town, but they ware soon secured, and ;rimed in stables at an Inn . One of the town engines arrived soon after four o'clock, and took up its poi- Son et the beck part of the station, the firemen pl.ytng upon the stables and cottages occupied by the South Rasters Company's employis. The railings had taken fire, but wake was plentifully poured over the ft twee, and they were speedily extinguished, and the cottages were thee saved. From the lamp room an additional length of platform was erected, and to avoid its destruction the communication with the upper portion wet severed. This was happily effected, and it will be found of great use during the erection of a new station, as it will be the only point front which traine can depart. The engines of the Phoenix and County ike-offlees were on the spot, but it was some time before they could be brought into nee, owing to the difficulty in getting water. By desire of Mr. Haab the firemen directed their effort. to saving his office, en that contained the most valuable pro priety. However, their exertions were fruitless, and by five o'clock the roof of the station fell in, followed by a stack of chimneys. In less than half an hour afterwards the station was one MIN of ruins. The telegraphic communication was stopped by the de 'treater' of the instruments and severing of the wires. A messenger was despatched to Wokinghsm, in order that • mewls might be forwarded to the London-bridge station for uses to remove the Jan's, so that the traffic might not be interrupted. The loath Western Railway Company ate losers by this fire, as threyeerepy the game booking-office. All their ticket cases and past of the furniture in the waltiogrooms have been de-attars:l. The large book stand of MUM'S. Smith, the newsvenders, erected co the plalform, bat shared the fate of other property at tile @tattoo. The Gteat Western Railway officials, and par icubuly Mr. Smythe, the superintendent, exerted themselves in the most preiseworthy manner to arrest, if possible, the progress of the flame, and the destruction of the company's property. To Mr. Heels, the South Eastern Company's supeeiniendent, greet credit it due for the judgment he doplayed in directing the tire engines under the trying oircurnstances. That the firs originated from lightning there is not the least doubt, se only tan minutes before the dames were discovered the watch ' man saw the lamp room safe, and the lightning from three o'clock to balf-pest was inteeeely vivid, and was observed to strike the building. The total lost of property is Tay considerable, as In addi tion to the station being burnt down, a large quantity of lug gage belonging to passengers has k een destroyed. Mr. Knight, superintendent of the traffic department, arrived at the station, from London, • few hours altereards, sad he has directed the emotion of • temporary office near the platform that was saved from the fire; 'hie will be done in a few hours, and the passenger traffic will not in the slightest degree be interfered with. (Stamped Id. Additional.) [TWOPENC.E. THB ATLIN7IO TELBOILIPH COMPAAY. - - • The Atlantic Telegraph Company have issued their advertisement inviting subscriptions for the 600,0001. of preferential 8 per cent. capital, in shares of 51. each, the creation of which was authorised at the last meeting. This capital will be entitled to the whole of the profits np to 8 per cent. The ori ginal share capital is then to receive! per cent., and any profits beyond will be equally distributed between the two classes. The points pressed upon the public attention may be summarised as follows : 3. That on the former occasion the cable had been decided on and contracted for before the present directors came into office. 2. That, though now known by experience to have been somewhat too heavy as to its specific gravity, it was then a great inno v atio n i n th e direc tion of lightness, and was censured on that gr , und. 3. That a board of directors, like other bodies, has to learn its business, and that men who have bad nearly three years' training, and who during that time have paid close attention to the subject, are naturally in possession of experience which a raw set of directors might have to leara by losses and failures. 4. That the board have shown themselves fully alive to the necessities of their position, and have wisely preserved and extended their connexion with successive governments. b. That the company has been managed in the spirit of a great public institution, and not u a job bing speculation. 8. That no public undertaking of similar novelty and importance bas been wore rapidly developed, considering that in the month of June, 1867, the whole project was an untried and doubtful theorem, whilst in the mouth of August, 1868, it had become an accomplished fact. 7. That the subsequent failure of the cable may be fairly attributed to the rough handling which it underwent after the first failure, having to be re coiled, stored in tanks, re-coiled into the ships, and afterwards subjected to the severest series of gales that have happened in the Atlantic for many years. 8. That the directors are doing all they can to profit by the put; they pledge themselves not to spend any money on another cable till they have consulted the first scientific men of the age, whose names will shortly be published. 9. That the jfovernment privileges and the traffic arrangements in America are highly valuable in themselves, and will ensure a permanent basis of success when the cable is laid, the guaranteed income, without a shilling from public, mercantile, shipping, or commercial messages, being 34,0001. a year, be sides the guarantee of 8 per cent. on 800,0001. 10. That the directors will effect policies of insur ance, guaranteeing the successful submersion of the able; therefore that question (the most serious of the whole) will this time rest on a perfectly safe basis. 11. But beyond this, contractors are ready to make, and lay, and work successfully for 30 days after it is laid, a cable such as men of the highest scientific character shall recommend. The contractors will take part of their money out of pocket in shares. They will postpone all their profit until after the cable has worked at a defined commercial speed for at least thirty dap. Their profit will be reckoned in the form of a commission upon the whole coat as ascertained by a public ac countant ; and if they fail in working the cable dur ing thirty days complete, they will forfeit the whole of their large profit, and a further sum of 10,0001. in hard cash, to be held back out of the cost price of the cable until full completion of the contract. The annual meeting of the members of the Society for Promoting the Amendment of the Law, for the reception of a report from the council and the election of the officers, was held on Saturday last, under the presidency of Lord Brougham. On the motion of 81r F. Goldsatid, Lord 13mugbam was re•eleated president. LONDON SOCIETY FOR TEACHING THE BLIND TO READ.---A meeting of the friend, of this institution was held on Friday, at the office,, &divine-street.

Tililliffalle DRAINAGE SellEMS.—Considerable Crhas been made, under the direction of the Metropo- Board of Works, in carrying out the plan for the main drainage of the metropolis north end south of the Themes. On the north bide of the Thames, for some time pest, • number of men under the instruction of the engineers of the board, have, in various parts coonteted with the lines of the upper and lower main sewer., been en gaged in sinking shafts, for the purpose of finding the strata in which the arch of the sewers should be erected. Various moils of sand, earth, and clay, here been pawed through, and, at a depth of about 50 feet, 'firm. clayey soil, of a straw colour, wee met with. This was of • considerable extent. Every exertion his been made to obtain a solid foundation In which to build the mein upper and lower sewers, and considerable progress has been made on the north side of the Thames, in that which • few weeks ago woe commenced at Hackney to pees through the marches to Barking Creek. On the south side of the '1 lames, en application will be made, in • few days, to commence the upper and lower south main drainage scheme., each of which will join et Deptford Cr(ek. One line will commence at Putney, and will go easterly through Lambeth perish, the pariah of Camberwell, &c., to Deptford. The other line will ocionnesee in the High-street, Clapham; in connexion with this will be a branch sewer, wider Dulwich. This will be serried through the parish of St. George, Southwark, the various parishes of the borough of Southwark and Bennonds'y to Deptford Creek. Here wall be erected, on the estate of Mr. Smiler, which will be purchased, a pumping station, for the purposes of ratting the sewage from the lower into the upper line of the main drainage sewer.

Tr building is the property of Mr. Franklin, of Holywell, and the tenants an Messrs. MlAs's, Marla, and Co., of 43. Tower-buildings Ewa. The wanboar from tap to bottom was stored with cotton. Aber six o'clock S.M. the mew went es usual to commence work, tut rowed nothing to lead them to believe that any of the cotton was on fire. They left at eight o'clock for breakfast, sad when they returned at air it was found that rose portion of the cotton in No. 3 room was on. fire. It is stated that the men took to step to extiegitleh the fire by removing the burning bale, but leering it amongst the other cotton, gave lamination to the police. A number of engines wart speedily on the spot, bet the fire had by this time armed a thr. a'ening Roped. The exertions of the firemen were directed with the view of preventing the cohflagration extending to any of the lower stories or the edjoining warehouse. In this they have been successful, although the cotton throughout the warehouse will be damaged either by fire or water. The loos will fell upon insurance offices, the building and its contents being %SOW, we understand, in the Liverpool end London, Scottish Union, and Atlas Offices. It is, of course, impoe sible to estimate the damage with any degree of accuracy, but it is suppoeed that it will amount to between 3,000!. and 4,0001. Amongst the first halm rolled out of the warehouse one fell upon a salvage man, named Patrick Rourke, reeidleg at No. 6, Court, Oriel-street, and broke hie thigh. Messrs.

Information of this having been quietly conveyed to Mr. Simpson the manager, he .son ascertained the locality of the suppoied danger. It was on the back premiss of Mr. Pritchard, but within a few feet of a closet in the upper box lobby, and not more than flee or six yards from the audience. On opening the door of this closet Mr. Simpson saw that a thick beam was hi a blaze. lie at once ordered the Ors brigades to be summoned, quietly aimed the various box door., and took ohm measures to prevent the audience being alarmed by eitheramoke erupt... The engines, on their snivel, were quickly got to work, and the hose being taken In through the Sheiropeare rooms tea minutes' d efforts extinguished the fire.
