The Annual Meetingof the Proprietors of this Coln. pany was held yesterday, at the City of London Ta vern; SAMUEL Woons,'Esq. in the Chair. The minutes of a former meeting, the Report of the. Committee, and a letter fioM Mr. Samuel Woolmer, of Exeter, were read. The Report anted, that there had recently been held a general meeting of the country Proprietors of Exeter, and•that They were very anzioos for the completion of the work, especially as a Canal from Bridgewater-to Taunton was completed, and going on prosperously, as well as a Canal for ships from the lea - to Exeter, which would greatly facilitate the opera tions of this Company ; that the state of the Company's &trances would not admit of their proceeding with the work ; but that they had reason to believe, that a junc tion might be formed withihe Ship Canal Company. •The CHAIRMAN said, that he had-reason to believe the Ship Canal Company would be willing to negotiate with the proprietors, so as to effect the•object of a ship canal between the Channels, upon a smaller scale• than that originally designed ; and he strongly recommended CO the Proprietors to come to a resolution which should open the way to negrociations. Mr. SUTTON and Mr. Daaw concurred in this view, and a resolution to that effect was put and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN was then directroir to advertise the, resolutionsin the London and Country Papers, and to send a copy thereof to Messrs. King and Lukin, the clerks of the Ship Canal Compahy. Mr. Daaw, the Bank Director, said that he was de sirous of joining with the Ship Canal Company, in order to effect their common object in the best and most practicable manner. The Accounts of the Company were read, from which it ap. peered that the available assets of the Company were about 1,2031. more than the demands upon them. CANADA COMPANY. Yesterday the halt-yearly Meeting of the holders of shares in the Canada Company, incorporated by charter, to cultivate the lands in Upper Canada, was held at the London Tavern, CHARLES BOSANQUZT, Esq. the Go vernor, in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN said, the Meeting was convened to consider the propriety of two propositions. First, the election of Directors; and, secondly, for voting a sum of money to the Directors for their attendance at the Boards; and in the Report the grounds for granting, such sums of money were set forth. The Chairman then read the Report. It contained the progress made in obtaining information, in commencing operations, and in organizing a system of management for the ad mieistration of the Company's affairs, both in Canada and England. Mr. GALT, who had been sent out by the. Company to Canada, had transmitted to the Court a great mass of valuable information, regarding the rand purchased by the Company, and the best means of disposing of it to advantage. At the date of his last 'dispatch (tne 80th of April), about 700 applications for land had been Made to Mr. GALT, of which he had accepted only 50, and the land to be sold amounted to nearly 10,000 acres. The last accounts of the survey of the block, of 42,000 acres in Halton County, are quite satisfactory, and a town plot marked there, the road to which had been opened, and the ground cleared.— The Report, after ad►erting to the advantage all classes of emigrants would derive from the information thus afforded, described the system of management organized by the Governors to conduct their proceedings both in' Canada and England. On the departure of the Secre tary for Canada, a Select Committee of Correspondence, consisting of five Directors, had been appointed, which devolved on them very arduous and responsible duties, and a Chairman nominated, with compensation, by way of salary, for his services, he being responsible for the duties of a.Secretary ; and it was resolved, that it be recommended to the General Court of Proprietors, to, sanction the application of I,ool'l. a year for his salary, the remuneration formerly allowed to the Secretary.— Mr. M'Gillivray was appointed Chairman for the two' years, until March, 1829, and his local knowledge of Canada fitted him peculiarly for the situation. The CHAIRMAN said, the Meeting had to consider whether the Resolution for placing at the -disposal of the Court of Directors a sum not exceeding 1,5001. a year, for the two years from the 25th of March last, to the 25th of March 1829, to be by them appropriated, part as a remuneration for attendances of the Members of that Court, and piut as a salary to the Director bedd ing the office of Chairman of the Committee of Cornea pondence, should be adopted. The question was put, and carried by a small majority; wasp Proprieters, however, did not vote either way. The CHAIRMAN observed, that the manner in which the vote had been carried was gratifying to them. He was assured that the money thus paid would tend to the advantage of the Company, as the 11. which was re ceivable by Directors at each Meeting svoulii render their attendance punctual. A PROIMIZTOR said, the proposal appeared to him to come with rather a bad grace, in the present state of the Company's affairs, and feared that the granting of so large a sum now would be a precedent for the future —(Hear, hear). Mr. Tw.MAS WILSON said, with respect to the salary to Mr.GALT, he conceived the Company were fortunate in having obtained such a man, who was in every re spect qualified for the office. His partner bad had some opportunity of judging of Mr.Ga LT s qualifications, and had said that money could not be better laid out. The Report was then adopted, and ordered to be printed. On the question for the election of two Directors to bit up that number of vacancies to the Board, Mr. HILL moved an amendment, to defer the elec tion. He thought a reduction from eighteen to twelve wet e advisable. _ _ Mr. ESTCOURT, M.P. (a Director) observed, that In proportion as the Directors were limited, so would be the sums paid them for attendance. The amendment was then put, and carried by a large majority. The Meeting then adjounied, alter thanlui had been voted to the Governors and Directors.

The following statement is worthy the attention of the Cons. miasioners of Pilots and Magistrates on the coasts of the United Kingdom, with a view to the protection of the property of Ship owners and Underwriters: Hatt, Just 113.—A case of considerable importance, under the Humber Pilot Act, came on for hearing at our Mansion-house on Tuesday last, in the shape of an information against a fisherman of Cleatborps. Tho facts deposed to were as follow: On the 17th of May, as the Norwegian vessel Wennerne, Petet Johnson, Master, was coming up the Humber, she slipped about 30 fathoms of chain cable. together with an anchor, a buoy, and buoy rope. Very soon after, these stores were taken up by Appleyard and some other Lincolnshire fishermen, who, instead of bringing 'them up to this port, and delivering them to the owner or agent within two days, according to the Act, thought proper to carry them into Grimsby, and refused to deliver them up at all, till they bad been paid a most exorbitant sum for salvage. Fur this con. duct, by which a penalty of .etri was incurred, Appleyard, the only individual who could be identified with the transaction, was sam mooed to answer. Mr. W. Bonney, Solicitor to the Commissioners of the Pilot office, attended to conduct the proceedings; and explained to the Magistrates the mode In which this system of gross impropriety was successfully practised by the owners of small vessels. The Act requited, he said, that stores found in the Humber should be ' brought to Hull within two days; but these persons regularly took them into Grimsby, and lodged t►em in the hands of a person I there, who had constituted himself a sort of arbitrator between the owners of stores and the persons who found them. Several months ago, the Commissioners, aware of the gross impositions which were carrying on, circulatted notices stating the law of the case, and their determination to enforce it. Copies were sent to Mr. Winteringham, and posted in the neighbourhood of Apple.. yard's residence, but they were aeon torn down or defaced. In order to check these nefarious practices, the Commissioners hod directed the present inquiry to be instituted ; and they were anxious that such an example should be made of the first person convicted, as would deter others front the commission of similar offences. It appeared from the statements of Mr. Modica, clerk to the agents of the vessel, that PO hearing the articles were in Grimsby, himself sod the Captain went down there, and were compelled to pay 47 15s. before they were restored, Air. G. Moon, agent to Lloyd's, proved that the notices were circulated very f reely in Grimsby and the neighbourhood, and also spoke of the serious extent to which the Shipowners and Under writers were defrauded by these practices. Appleyatd admitted that he was one pf the persons who took the stores, but said he could not read ; he had never beard of the notices, and did not know he was doing anything wrung, as the Deputy Vice-Admiral told him he was never to take anything past Grimsby. Mr. Bonney, by a reference to the Acts, 'hewed the Magistrates ' that Mr. Brown, the Deputy Vice-Admiral, had no jurisdiction whatever in such cases. Appleyard said he only received S. from the person at Grimsby, and it had to be divided into eight shares. After some deliberation, Appleyard was convicted in the mitt. • gated penalty of 101. with SOs. 6.1. costs ; and on Mr. Bunney's pointing out a clause which gave the Bench that power, they cont. mitted him for three months in default of immediate payment, or security for the same. He gave security, however, soon afterwards. and was liberated. • In the course of the proceedings, it was stated, that If aship left an anchor and cable, with a buoy rope, intendiug to fetch them when the weather moderated, the fishermen frequently cut away the marks, end temoved the property ; after which, with the ut most effrontery, they.demanded salvage. The MAetstgates intimated, that, in future they would show 00 tomtit:) , to t at:oilers of this description. BRITISH REFORMATION SOCIETY. Yesterdvy a.General Public Meeting was held at the City df Lotidoirf avern,•tnethe purpo.e of forming an Auxiliary in the City of London to the Society for pro. moting the Religious Principles of the Reformation. The Rig ht Hon . Lord FARNHAM ill the Chair. The ODLE CHAIRMAN alluded to the formation of the Parent Society at the Freemasons' Tavern . in May last, and stated its object to be 1. To enable Clergymen sad others engaged id promoting the Reformation in Ireland, to purchase such quantities of Bibles, Testaments, and Tracts, as the increasing wants of their respective puisbes and districts may require.-2. To supply individuals and associations with the means of circulating such instruction and in formation as may best meet tbepresest circumstances of Ireland.—. S. To enable the friends of the Reformation to defray the expense" inclined by meetings for religious discussion, and by the publication of their proceedings. for which no Society at present provides.-4. To collect and circulate authentic intelligence respecting the pro •gress of the Reformation.-5. To promote such modes of instrue lion as are best suited to the condition of the lower orders of the Roman Catholics throughout the Empire. The Nom.' Loan stated, that the purpose of the pre. sent Meeting was to form an Auxiliary in the City to assist in the promotion of those glorious objects. The Hon. GRANVILLE Rinaa, in a short speech, moved the formation of the Society, which was se. conded by Captain GORDON, who took an extended view of the state of moral degradation in which the people of Ireland were sunk, and of the prevalence of -crime in that country—..all of which he attributed to the Roman Catholic religion. lie stated that the Catholics were making great efforts in this country to propagate their faith, and that in many districts, particularly Somerset. shire and Lancashire. hundreds of proselytes were going over from Protestantism to Popery; in one town in the former county, with a population of only 1,300, up wards of 100 such instances had recently occurred. General ORD ' the Rev. JOSIPH lit*lco. the Rev. D. Stec/A:to, of Ireland, Captain VRRNON. R.N. and the Rev. Geo. PHILLIPS, respectively addressed the Meet ing at considerable length. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, who in a neat speech acknowledged the compliment, and the Meeting, which was very thinly attended, separated at three o'clock. THE TUNNEL UNDER THE THAME9b ACCIDENT IN THE WORII&PLIETHER PARTICULARS. It would be difficult to describe the universal sym. pithy which has been excited in the neighbourhood of Rotherbithe by the premature death of poor Richardson, who was drowned in these works on Wednesday. He was a man, though in a humble station of life, of such generally conciliating habits and disposition, that he had drawn towards him the good wishes and good feeling of every man on the works, not excluding the officers them• selves. Mr. Brunel, jun. and Mr. Grava t, observing the prevalence of this sensation, and participating in it themselves, determined on stopping the works during the night; and the men, on answering to their shift, which was generally done with a heavy heart, were ad vised to retire home, and resume their occupation at sit o'clock in the morning. In no one instance was this advice disregarded ; and with the exception of a few pumpers, and others, whose presence could not be dis. pensed with, the works were, for the night, closed. The whole cause of this accident is attributable to the absence of light in the arches. From prudential motives, and to avoid any probable ignition, it was thought advisable to consume no more light than was absolutely necessary toe the occupation of the workpeeple, and the only one at present consumed has been derived from candles placed at small distances down the tunnel, where the water sail remained. The majority of these candles were attached to the very boat which was overturned, and of course on the vessel swamping, the light was de stroyed. Had there been a sufficient supply to hay. discovered distinctly any object, there is no doubt Richardson's life would have been saved, fur 1) iwling the youth who last left the boat, stares, that he distinctly heard Richardson say, in a supplicating tone, " Bring the boat, or I shall be drowned,' and a moment after wards he heard a splash in the water from whence the remark proceeded, and which was, no doubt, created by the last struggle of the unfortunate deceased.—A recurrence of such an accident has, however, now been safely guarded against. The portable gas bottles at present on the works have been abundantly lighted, and a fresh order sent to the Company for an immediate additional supply. It will be seen that this accident is no way connected with the excavation of the works, or their general progress, but confines itself to a circum stance that does not at all affect the stability or the pro. gress of the undertaking. Saturday evening, a melancholy. accident occurred at St. John's College, Oxford. H. Psalms, Esq. Gentleman Corn. money of New College, son of the eminent brewer, was leaving an evening party, and as he was passing down t►e steps, his tout slipped, and he fell to the bottom ; his neck was dislocated by the fall, and he died in a few hours afterwards. The whole family had taken apartments in the town, and were on the point of setting out for Oxford when the intelligence was communicated to them. Friday about noon, a car containing seven bags of ' Boar, belonging to a resident of Thorley, was stopped on the road between the Mile Tree and Haywood, about a mile from this town, by about fifty persons, who carried off the bags into an adjoining meadow, and there shared the flour between them and decamped, after having trampled and destroyed the greater part of the meadow. The police were out soon after, and continued a fruitless search for several hours. The principal landlord of Broughton, near Melton► Mowbray, lately sent his steward to receive the Lady. day rents, which were duly paid, and no return was made at the time ; but a month afterwards, the steward sent notices to all the tenants to appear at the inn at a certain time (without any intimation of what was to be done), when he commenced returning to each tenantfifty per cent. of the rent which he had paid.— This matter was hailed with unusual demonstrations of joy by the tenantry.—Leicester Chronicle. • CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, Joel 29.
