There was no doubt that was the feeling, and it was a v ork of some difficulty to defeat so unjust an attempt, but Ike felt gratified at the manner in which his acts had been ap proved of by those whose good opinion he valued. (Rear.)' The act before them was no work of his own ; it was the embodiment of the ideas of the shareholders present at the meeting at . which it was considered expedient that he should visit Canada. When he first arrived at 1 the [Grand Trunk Railway he found everything in the greatest disorder, even the wages of the porters were in arrear, but by patience and perseverance that state of things had been altered. Now everything required for the railway was paid for delivery, and the credit of the con cern had been recovered, and it now stood as well as any undertaking in Canada, lie then referred to the negetia • tions hp had taken pait in with respect to the Government of Canada relative to the postal subsidy, to which the com. pang had the most perfect right, and went on to renmrk that he took upon himself the responsibility of recom mending the meeting to assent to the Act which had bewr. proposed to them that day. (Hear, hear.) He paid a high compliment to the honour and judgment of Mr. Jus tice Draper, te whom the arbitration of the difference had been referred, and concluded by saying that he felt confi dent that the interest of the shareholders and the honour of Canada would be saved, and that what had been looked upon as bad faith would be found to have arisen from a misunderstanding. The hon. gentleman concluded his observations amidst loud applause. PRICE..... -....4d. STAMPED ....sd. John G.

The following appeared in a portion of our impression of yesterday evening : A special general meeting of the bond and shareholders of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern. T. Baring, Esq., M.P., presided. The meeting was called for the following purposes :- Ist. For the purpose of considering " The Grand Trunk Arrangements Act, 1862," passed at the last session of the Parliament of the Province of Canada.' 2d. For the purpose of accepting the said Act in the manner and as provided in the 39th section of the same Aet. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said the shareholders had all received the accounts of the cmpany, end, comparing them with those for the corresponding period of 1860, he thought they would all agree that they were highly encouraging. As far as could be estimated, from the information received from Canada, a similar increase for the present year was certain, but they had a serious drawback in the unfortunate civil war that had been raging in America. That deplorable circum stance had led to a diminution of their traffic. They all knew that one-fifth of their line was in the United States, and to that circumstance was to be attributed the falling off ;n the passenger traffic, and that loss must continue 1 until there was a cessation of hostilities in that part of the world. Until that circumstance took place they could not properly develop their traffic. He thought the meeting would agree with him in thinking that the exertions and zeal of Mr. Watkin were worthy of the highest praise. By his exertions a system of economy had been matured which had 'placed their account in the present satisfactory state. 'With regard to the Act of the Legislature they were called upon to give their assent, it was calculated by wise concessions to the shareholders in Canada that a most satisfactory future for the company would be secured. It was no new matter they were called upon to consider. The arrangements of the act had been solemnly argued on a former occasion. The chairman then entered into a statement of the proceed ings that had taken place in Canada, and the course that had been adopted by the Government of Canada, and notwithstanding all that had been said, he did not but be lieve that the Government of Canada would listen to their claims. They were able by this act to say to the Govern ment of Canada, we have done:all we can to assure regu larity, honesty, and security for the company in Canada, and we therefore call upon you, the Government, to do your part and admit our claims by adopting a fair arbitration to protect our interests, and then their postal arrangements would be safe and complete. By the arrangements pro posed by the act, when carried out, the shareholders would secure their dividends. Whether they would be enabled to make arrangements with the Government of Canada to prevent any seizure of their property, or whether they should have to return to the state of things that existed 12 months ago, and again involved in litigation was uncertain, but he believed the arrangements proposed in the act would have the effect of preventing it. They had succeeded in increasing their representatives at the Board in Canada, and he looked forward with confidence to the future for the success of the company. Mr. CRAWFORD, M.P., explained to the meeting the origin of the act, which arose with a committee of bond: holders who had deputed Mr. Watk in to ProceV to Canada, and by whose exertions ctoh Trunk n e clud a ed rangements had been carried o ut. by moving a formal resolution, accepting the li e and Arrangement Act, 1862, passed a t last session r of the Par liament of the province of Canada. Mr. MORRIS urged the meeting to agree to the PrePesi tion. It would only stultify d. all that had been previously done if any other course was to be a do t pte a.n st the proceed- Mr. MOGG, of Bristol, read ings of the committee and the aadoPprvt°ietoryenorthie act of arrange numerously signed, went. The protest, he said, L h e number of signatures to the A PROPRIETOR ask.. -4 document. Mr. Mooci replied 20, but he himself did not object to it, Mr. MERCER wa s in favour of the adoption o f th e arrangement. Mr. WAurvirtrarsr said the act of arrangement Was only based on the act of 1854, and he thought that the bond holders had no legal right to preference over the s h ar e holder,. It would only be showing a littl e concession if the preference bondholders were to place themsel ves in the same position as the other shareholders. (Confusion.) Mr. CONYBEARE thought the bondholders had not been sufficiently consulted, and he proposed the adjournment of the meeting to a future day to be fixed by the chairman, in order that different interests might duly consider their pre sent position. Mr. OTTER said at a former meeting they had agreed to the propositions whi c h are to be carried out by the act of arrangement. If the meeting did not adopt the act it would be guilty of a breach of faith. He condemned the system of carrying prime ministers and influential parties on the line for nothing, Such a course was not adopted in this country. The Cabinet in this country, when they travelled either to Balmoral or Windsor, did not object to pay the proper charges. (Hear, hear.) Then why should there be any exception in Canada ? Mr. NEWMARSII said he hoped, when certain p ar ti es went back to Canada, t h e y would tell their compatri o t s th a t the Grand Trunk Railway Company had determined not to be imposed upon any longer. They had got th e s ti c k i n their hands on this side of the water, and they were deter mined to use it if necessary. Mr. CHAPMAN contended the act proposed for the sane ion of the meeting was in fact a condonation of the nu merous errors of the company, a confiscation of preference bonds into ordinary shares ) and a legalisation of all the fraudulent leases that had been entered into, He seco nded the amendment for the adjournment. i n his Mr. Monnts said he had the grea t e st confidence friend M and he l oo k e d upon the rnoti?

Q N TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRIREA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This N the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non -medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in hie power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places It within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

The Prince was accompa nied by Capt. Bothwell and Lieut. Saint Paul, his aides-de-camp, and Capt. Heldt, commanding the Prussian corvette Gazelle. He was received by Capt. Lysaght, acting in the absence (on leave) of Commodore Sir F. Nicolson, and the principal offi cers of the yard. Having v i s it e d the leading features of interest throughout the dockyard, the Prince re quested to be shown the various models of armour plated ships in their possession, and which had been submitted for the consideration of the Board of Admiralty. These were inspected with the eye and judgment of a connoisseur, and were com mented upon accordingly. His Royal Highness highly complimented Mr. Turner, master ship wright of the yard, on a model of his own invention of the cupola kind, just completed, and expressed his opi nion that the advantages of space afforded for the gunners and the superior ventilation, so highly re quisite in a line-of-battle ship, if taken into con sideration, could not fail of bringing Mr. Turner's method into general use. Having partaken of re freshment with Capt. Lysaght on board the flagship Fisgard, his Royal Highness and suite proceeded up the river and visited the shipbuilding establish ments at Miliwall. The same evening be arrived at the Portland Hotel, Portsmouth. Early yester day morning the Chevalier Vandenbergh, Royal Prussian Vice-Consul, as also Capt. Sundewall, of his Prussian Majesty's corvette Arcona, paid their respects to his Royal Highness, after which he paid a visit to the Commander-in-Chief, Sir H. Bruce. It is expected that the Prince will inspect the Arcona to-morrow at Spithead, should the weather be more favourable, previous to her departure for Devonport to be docked. The Duke of Somerset, attended by his private secretary, Capt. Moore, R.N., landed from the Royal yacht Osborne, at Portsmouth dockyard yesterday morning, and held a levee at the Royal Naval College, in the dockyard, at 10 a.m. It was attended by a large number of naval and marine officers. The remainder of the Board were engaged during the morning in inspecting the ships in com mission in the harbour, &c. At 4 p.m. the Osborne. with their Lordships on board, steamed out of the harbour, and proceeded to Southampton-grater to convey the Bo ird on an inspection visit to her Ma jesty's ships Dauntless and Boscawen, and to Net ley Hospital, returning afterwards to Portsmouth. Should the weather prove favourable, it is expected that the Board will leave Portsmouth to-day for the Channel Islands, or otherwise proceed by rail to Portland. We are glad to learn that the visit of their Lordships to Portsmouth dockyard will be associated with the promotion by the Board, through the Controller, of Mr. Moody, Assist. Master Ship wright of Portsmouth yard, to a vacancy as master shipwright about to occur in one of the eastern yards. The Psyche, Admiralty yacht, had her official trial of speed postponed from yesterday until Mon day, on account of the rough weather.. She will be commissioned shortly by Mr. Whinier, the present master of the Royal yacht Osborne. 711 E NAVY.

The target is constructed exactly like a section of the side of the Warrior, and will be covered with armour-plates of 41 inches in thickness placed on a backing of oak and teak, The experiments to be made at Shoebury ness will be carried out under the direction of Col. St, George, C. 8., and the members of the Ordnance Select Committee. Intelligence was yesterday received at Chatham of the daring e scape of a convict named Phillips, under sentence of 20 years' penal servitude, from the convict establishment at Portland. The pri soner occupied the portion of the prison set apart for the infirmary, and has been placed in cross irons for a recent attempt to escape. By some means he obtained possession of a saw and chisel, with which be removed his irons and also a portion of his cell. The night, which was very rough and windy - , favoured his escape, and his absence from his cell was not discovered until 5 o'clock the following morning. The prisoner made a "dummy," which he platted in his bed to deceive the warders who look through the slide of the cell door every hour. About a week or two since the convict was placed in the separate cells, and while there he managed s to obtain possess ion of a test key, which would un lock any of th e cells in the prison. He also obtained a saw and fil e, and had arranged with o ther convict s to release them on a certainoine of night the an d o verpower th e warder on dut y placed in 'Their i)lan was , however, frustrated, and Phillips was irons, and removed to another part of the prison. On the occasion referred to Phillips told the Gover nor that he should wish him ‘i Good bye some fine day." On escaping from his cell he left his clothes and also his irons behind. As soon as his esca p e was discovered information was forwarded to Lon don and all giving an accura t e d e scription o f the convict, who, the principal town s in the kingdom, there is little doubt, will shortly be captured. _ i ~_
