The only exception to this which is permitted is where the two ountractim parties enter into a written agreement to adopt a different kind of meter. At the request and expense of any buyer or seller of gas it shall be lawful for any spectre, authorised la writing under the hand of say justko of the peace of England or Ireland, or of any sheriff, justice, or magistrate, in Scotland, at all seasonable times to Inter any buddini, yard, or other plum where say meter, whether stamped or unstainped, is filed, and to examine and test, and if necesmay to remove the sum. Before this am be dons, how;ver, tt Is naories that the other party to the centract should have pre vi ously received twenty-four hours notice is writing of such intention, and Is case of a disputed decision of an inspector, the point is to be referred to two inspectors of 'adjoining districts.

The qaarterly Prim of the Registrar-Greral for Scotland, just raid, shows that in the second quarter of 1859 there were registered in Scotland 18,658 births, 15,663 deaths, and 5,131 marriages, being for the erred popu lation at the annual rate of one birth revery 27, ens death in every 50, and one marring° in every 162 persons. The births show en increase of 667 over the corresponding quarter of 18.58, end the birth-rate of 1 in 27 la considerahly higher than has yet prevailed since the (Scottish registrars system came into operation, eve years ago. In the town rarer the birth-rate was ss high as 1 in 25, and In the merry districts lin 29. Of the 28,656 births, 2,455, or 8.6 per rent., were illegitimate, a proportion slightly higher then the corresponding quarter of last year. Ihe table showing the proportions of illegitimate births in the different divi ars of Scotland corner ea formerly, to exhibit the highest proportions in the north-eastern and southern die ters. EnoffAira, in the north-east division, still firm etre head of the ignominious list, showing 17 per cent.; the southern county of Selkirk follow. at 161 per oat.; sad the north-meters county of Aberdeen succeeds at 141 per cent. The smallest proportions are in the extreme north and in the wastern!sounties. The "proportion as between town and country is respectively 8.4 and 81. The number of deaths exceeded theoorresponding quarter by 46, less than might have been expected from the inereaw of population. In the 125 town districts (containing about bail the popula tin) the death-rate for the quarter was 1 in 43, and in the 875 country distriots lln 56, the mesa being Ila 60. The registrar says that while, ae a whole, in conseeptenco of the greater number of females to Scotland, the female deaths preponderate over the whole mar, the male deaths are 4W11)11 in excess of the female in the second and third quarters of the year. The =Magee show an incomes of 217 est the corresponding quarter of 1858, but 304 fewer than in the corresponding quarter of 1857, and the number in this quarter la exactly the mann of the second quarter of the five years since the act came into operation, and would seem to indicate that the country has nearly recovered from the commercial distress Into which It IMO Minuted by the Wares of November, 1857. In the town dietricte the testriegm were in the proportion of 1 in every 131 person., end in the country dietricts of 1 in every 182 persons. The health of the population has been good during the quarter, being exactly the mean of the corresponding quarter of former years. In • few locelltles smallpox rimmed au epidemic form, and had been fstal in many mese, but in only one use In which the deceased, a child, bad been ascer tained to:bie vasxisated. 13verlat fever in 'event instances had appeared epidemically, sometimes in the form of diphthetia, and had considerably Increased the mortality.

A dispute which, in its inconvenient multi to the public, has cast into the shade the scent competition of the death Welters and South Coast Companies, has pilwailed during the pest fortnight between the Scottish Central and thottith North Eastern Raton Compatie at their joinable at Perth, by which the th rough trifle of all prams travel ling to the north of Scotland hoboes adroitly impeded, and great delay occasioned in the tranandmion of the mails. Happily the foterfereuee of other =speaks Wrested, end threats of legal proceeding on the part of riser cheats, the delivery of whose - pods has bees de layed. bare induced the belligerent parties to enter Into artenementi whereby, pending negotiates' for the per manent setthipent of the goalless at I we, ell trate will alin=lirdsilh Perth, vitamin salering from the oh to which it has been sattleetol shoe the Bth alike present month. The cizonsestances of the case ere altogether so extraordi nary, sad the inconvenience which the travelling nubile suffered ohne the disputa lasted was so enormous, that • brief statement of the facts cannot fail to be Interesting. The line of the Scottish Central Railway extends 320 yards no rt h of Perth station, the nee of which has been for avoid years, under a pecuniary arrangement, common to the Coated Company, who built it, the North- Eastern Company, whose line from Aberdeen joins the Central Company at the point referred to, and the Edin burgh, Perth, and Dundee Railway. In the recent mean of parliament the Central Company applied for powers to levy a toll upon all passengers brought by the North Eastern Company over the 320 yards of railway north of the Perth station; and on the 7th instant the Roue of Lords granted these powers, and also passed other clauses iropn open the North Eastern Company the payment of a co le sum of money, alleged to be their proportion of an outlay non works at or near to the station. The Scottish North Eastern Company affirm that theas dames are so worti.d that they either may or may not use this 320 yards of railway, and that if they deem fit th ey may alto avoid entering the Central Company's station at Fat a h. As soon as the bill had received the royal went on the Bth instant telegraphic instructions were ant down to Perth by the spots of the North-Eastern Company in London, ordering all trains for the south to stop at the ter mination of their line proper, and devoting their loco men,e superintendent to cease sending angina into Perth station as had been the custom, to convey the northern testes forward. The consequence has horn that, from the Bth instant until Saturday lea (when, as already stated, an amicable arrangement was come to), all panniers from the south, on arriving at Perth, have been compelled to alight from the carriages in which they had travelled from London, end, shoe making • circuit of nearly three-quarters of • mile through the town of Perth, to rejoin the railway at • point 320 yards north of the Central elation. The leconventeace or such a necessity at any period of the year will be manifest ; but during the past might, when so many families have been going to the moors, the trouble and annoyance it has occasioned as soareely . be imagined. It has frequently happened that • trate his armed from the south with from 160 to 200 poinengwe, many of them ladles and children. On reaching the station at Perth every person has been compelled to alight, and, gathering tartar, their luggage as well as they could, make the beat of their way through the town to the extremity of the disputed line, where the North-Eastern Company had hastily put together a few bards, and formed a temporary oaks tor the reception of passengers. The supply of flies and carriages of every description at a quiet place bk. Perth, under such circumstances, of course fell short of the demand; and it boa been no uncommon ocourrento to observe an Tegan — tly7tresord lady trad6tn6 after s Bcotcb poem wheelbarrow contained the moot precious article of bar wardrobe, and sometimes a peer of the highest rank the best of his way, carpet-bag in hand, to keep pare a tli some more fortunate traveller who had secured for himself the "teat oat, on the wand." _ . Thepassteger traffic tae not along suffered. During the whole of lest week the sidings at Perth station were blocked up with several hundreds of waggons of goods, none of which the diaputing companies would send forward; and singular inconvenience arose in many instances from sports men having sent down their guns and shooting equipments by luggage train, which were thus detained. The Poet-office authorities were the first to take active measures in the affair, by instituting actions against both companies for delaying the moils; and it Is believed that this circumstance has con siderably facilitated the efforts of those gentlemen who have been instrumental in bringing about the present amicable arrangement between the disputants. At all events, it is to be ho fed that a speedy and final adjustment of the whole matter will be brought about, and that the two companies will be spared the scapdal sad diagram wig.* must attach to them if they again subject the public to the unnecessary and irritating annoyances they have lately suffered by the un warrantable manner in which the carrying arrangements of both railways base been disturbed in the prosecution of a purely boil squabble.

The following is the report of Mr. Jame Miller, late first officer, and others, of the ship Alma, 1,187 tons (Captain Muer late master), al Belfast., from Calcutta for hilauritlus, which was wracked on the 6th use on the middle ground, eastern or Aurae Chained of the River Hoogbly, the capers, his wife and &lid, Lientessist Buck and lady, sad his servants (passengers), Mr. Lang, • pilot, end 14 of the mew, drowned The Alma left Calcutta as the 6tb, la tow of a steamer, fi Mary timit. The Alma's mew numbered In all 82 hands. It was vary wet, dirty, thick maiming, the wind N.W., fresh. The steam-tug towing use plunging vary much, and the Alma also had a pelt deal of motion. The tug left them .boat hat past 2 p.m. She was not cut of, but the ship's dwboard hawser paned, and she shot away to wind er.* of the steamboat. The sea was all this time lacreasing, sal the ship was pitching heavily. When they parted with the abler they had topsails set, with foresail, jib, and Cr. The floating light wee riding to the obi, tide, but ater could not tell how long the ebb tide bad run. The rad, which had been westerly when the tag parted, was now southerly, so that from laying down the channel, the Alma went off aerate it, being obliged to tack to the west ward. Upon this tack they continued about 20 minutes, daring which one forstopsail burst, a staysail was carried away, and another staysail burst. The ship was in charge of the pilot, Mr. Lang, who at this time was aft, on the poop. The sea hit the ship on the bowsprit end, end the inner jib wee disabled, es that they had nor*: forward but the foresail. They teenaged, however, to get the ship round on the starboard tuft, stood across the channel. bat was not going mac h i = re water. The Scaling light err in eight, its berg qiimalN.W. of the ship. The Alms, about -pest 4 pr., Min Mei en the star board tack, struck heavily alert the rearriggrg abaft the beam, and she lodged van the beak. She several times lifted and struck spin. Mr. Lang, the pilot, then shouted to put up the maintop gallantril, to ears the ship screen ithe continued to stirs, end was sea completely dud. He hied several times to get her before the wind, bat felled. When she wee settled on the bank, the pilot gave orders to wand the pumps, whir the carpenter ' however, had not time to do, and be (witness) received orders to ohm sway the boats, as this would be quite u much to do r there was time for. He let to work to get out two mail bort; the lee boat on the port side was re planet*, whir, with the 11•111114111011 of 16 or 18 sr, was, after great diMoulty, launched. At this time the captain' was aft on the poop, about the mirrors; end Ids fatally, consisting of • lady end one child. were with kir The pilot was else on the poop. By this period the ship had stink up to the poop deck, so that all commtutiostion was cut off be tween aft and forward. There were • number of men aft in the poop, sad they could not get fix-ward. The ship was going over on her port beam the whale time. Bbe did not roll, but settled over. It was about 80 ranted' after the ship struck that they succeeded in getting the Seat boat out, which they attached to the ship by a rope. Five seen got into her, with directions to take her aft, for the purpose of saving those who were on the poop. The boat wig sheltered to leeward of the ship against the sea, but there wen • strong tide sitting down against the boat, widely driving it spinet the ship, obliged the rope to be out off, and thee, In consequence of the heavy weather, it was found elute to get the boat aft, as bed been endeavoured. The that drifted away to the &Z., deer of the ship altoge ther. There wen six oars he her, but no thoweffs ; she wee therefore =rewash's, and wee never nearer the ship than half a mile after the Ur had been cat. She was riding the sea quite light, being very buoyant. He could me three oars pulling. He thought if the boat had been pos maned of thowella, end otherwise prepared, she could have taken the people off the wreck. He could give no reason for the abeenoe - of the thowelle, except that they were seldom kept in the boat, bat in a locker in the fore cabin. The part of the crew then on the forecastle now commenced to launch the other small boat, which was the jollyboat ; they would not have got it off, but she went off the forecastle head herself, ping to windward. All who were forward, excepting three men who were up in the maintop, _got into her. The jollyboat had Ave oars, but no thowslk • however, one of the men had five or six thorns in his jumper pocket, and these, with some others roads out of • camp noel which floated by, served them to pass their oars. Ids shortly afterwards saw the longboat, which had been Seated off the ship's Ise before they got the second boat our, la the water near him. He secured it to Ale own boat, and prevailed on four In the jollybut to take =Ws of It, lent no others volunteered to get in. It would horrid 20 parsons. The wreck at this time was distant from thorn about two or a;;;eOttiorownliiiti;tl windward.HZlt been pro appointed. and a reactant number had got in to mot her, ' he thought the whole on the wreck might have been saved. The longboat was decked over and ne oars nor any thowell trylat her. As it was he too k the toughest, which wee quite t, is tow, intending, if possibk, to take her to the after part of the wreck, but every effort that was made for this wpm was rendered fable by the heavy sea. He wee obliged at length to cast it off. At this time, about an hour after the ship struck, he could see the people on the deck of the wreck, which was lying on her beam ends. The longboat floated towards the wreck, picking up the carpenter, who had jumped overboard from the ship. They in the jolly boat stopped where they were till half-peat nine, a.m., having in the meanwhile mete repeated efforts to get close to the wreck in the hopes of saving those clinging to it, bat all without avail. As soon as the tide came in they pulled to the light alp, and were taken on board of her. Nothing has been heard of since of Captain Mance, his wife and child, three apprentices, one of the crew, Lieutenant Rock and wife (passengers), Mr. Ruck's servants, and pilot, Mr. Lang. It was his impression they were all drowned. • seaman, named Charles 611111110t1P, states he was below when the ship struck. He was ill. He rot on deck as they were getting out the mooed boat. He was washed out of the and found himself at the mercy of the k w: e v tl ei. gin te caught hold of • small piece of wood, and swam about till it was nearly dark. He dece iver& found a spat, with the assistance of which he got to lead the next day.—William Jones, the ship's carpenter states that when the ship struck the pilot gave orders to riser the heath away. The mate and crew were getting the wee therbow over, heaths ship sunk Nilo+ that the boat floated off her Mdse. All the people f orwsrdgot into her exceptthree, who mint into the foretop, leaving the captain's party, the pilot, leadsmen, and fine os and a beyon the poop. The leadsmen end captain were @Mating to the mate to pull for the long boatothich had floated off the chocks, and come for them who were Wt. When they sew the boats could not near them, the captain asked the pilot where he tght they had better go ; the ca the the maintop. TM Oot took the child to the mainegging ; it was quite ea Maud, end ha (the carpenter) canted it to the maintop. The pilot followed the two ladies and captain into the top. They all sat huddled together upon the masthead. From that, as the mast went ander water, they west to the maintopinastiseed and topgallantmast, sod remained there till about half-past 9, when the topmast broke, and they were all thrown into the water together. He saw the captain swim after his wife and child, and then lost sight of them altogether. Ile (the carpenter) could not swim et all; be got on the maintop. The steward and himself saw some one swimming. It proved to be Mr. Rock. Re saw the pilot (Mr. lam) on • spar under the maintop. Theses was jerking blot against the mast. They could not get near him to assist him. There were altogether ten men on the wreck. They were eventually rescued by the boats of the Nimrod and Como, which entered the port on the 6th. They were all hauled from the wreck by a line into the boats." A marine Inquiry toot place at the Muter Attendant's office, Fott Wilikm, on the 25th, to investigate the Mecum- SWUM of the lore of the Alma ' when the surviving portion of her mew were examined, the Commissioners present being Captain T.

BALE AT VAUXHALL GARDENS.—Yesterday after noon a vast number of pumas were attracted to Vauxhall gardens by the announcement that the well-known theatre, orobeetra, dancing platform, firework gallery, fountains, status, vests, do., would be sold by auction. The duty was confided to Yr. R. C. Driver, who made a few preliminary obervatices upon the history of the gardens, exprewing at the suns time his bellef that many of the articles would fetch atom than their intrinsic worth in consequence of the interest ing associations connected with them. This prediction was not, however, verified. For a deal painted table with turned legs, one of the original tables made for the gardens in 1754, which the auctioneer said was store than a hundred yarns old, and would last a hundred more, a Cloth of a fir offered half-a-crown, but at length it rose to 9a., and was knocked down at that figure. The large painting of Teepee, in France, which was highly lauded by the auctioneer as being conaiderably better than when it was first painted, was knocked down at the insignificant sum of 21. 7s. ; while an other painting, quite as large, and apparently.. good, realised only 30e.

It appears that the company in question was incorporated is 1773, with a capital of 150,0001. in 600 shares of 2501. eseit, for the manafacture of iron. and its principal works have been at Carron, near Falkirk, with an agency in London. The business has been conducted by • general manager, who, according to the terms of copartner", was subject to the con trol of general meetings.

From these circum stances arise the singular story which, through • proem just instituted in the Scotch courts, is presented to the pub lic. The company, under their deed, are allowed to buy the shares of any retiring partner, and it seems that the managers have steadily availed themselves et this faculty. From 1830 all 1851 the Mama.

At a later period William Dawson wrote to &Motto that to comply with ell Remises' &monde would " cause endless trouble and no little mischief;" that he had better reduce his balance at the Bank of England lest it should attract the notioe of their " anem i a.; " and that a certain sum had been kept back in mder that their " greedy partners" (the shareholders) might not au pose they had so much mak in hind. Sir James Gibson-Craig, then Isar agent of the company, strenuously advised that Morasses and the others should be furnished with the infor mation desired, and in 1846 he again warned the manager at Carron of the illegality of his proceedings, protesting, at the mine time, against one of the shareholders—a Mies Adis— being allowed to sell her abort to the company in total igno rance of ha real value.
