" The Post-office Turkish Bath s, 19, St. Martin's-le -Cr . rand. —Dr. Culverwell has already established the reputation of an able physician ; he has now proved himself to be a worthy philanthropist, in as far as he has established, in the heart of the City, an institution that more nearly than any disco very of modern days, goes nearer the abolition of the practice of physic, than any proposition or invention yet established, the Turkish Bath. . . Our object being merely to direct the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess one of the best set of baths, at 19, St. Martin's-lc-Grand, which the country can produce; perfect in all Its appliances, and most admirable in effect.

WASHINGTON, DEC. 30. The New York journals of yesterday pursue "the roaring nightingale" line of writing. One rejoices that Jefferson Davis will be disappointed, because Mason and Slidell will be surrendered, if demanded, as nothing must be allowed to prevent the prosecu tion of the campaign. Of course the American people do not dread an English war—" their invin cible pluck would carry them through more than two wars at once," and the foreign question is only postponed because the nation acquiesces in the acts of the Administration. By next summer "We shall have in the field a million of disciplined soldiers, and afloat a navy of 500 ships manned by 50,000 sailors of the sort that gained us Hatteras and Hilton Head. It will be time enough then to eall Spain to account for her Mexican imbroglio and to demand reparation of England for the manner in which, in violation of her own proclamation, she has aided the rebels, and insulted this country. The hour for a foreign war is not now, but it will come." This is refreshing and encouraging. The same journal is kind enough to promise that the United States will some day annex Canada to Portland and the State of Maine, and intimates that it will be necessary to provide work for the million of patriots by vindicating the Monroe doctrine as soon as the South is subdued, annexing Canada and Cuba at one blow, conquering all the West India Is/ands, and establishing a military empire "like ancient Rome." The scribe did not know how like it would be in all but the discipline of its troops and in their glorious victories, "reducing the neigh bouring nations to her sway, but giving them also her freedom and her power, and at the same time allowing them to retain their own domestic institu tions." Cruel enough, the same sheet announces that Mr. Chase has not got any means to carry on the present war with the South after Jan. 15, 1862 three weeks hence. " On or about that day his ex chequer will he exhausted. No plan for its replen ishment has yet been ventilated. When Mr. Chase was here last week he laid no project before the banks, and they laid none before him." But there is to be a great success. Poor air -fed, promise -imbibing people! " Man never is, but always to be blest. " The banks might then place the second 50,000,000 of 7.30 notes." But if no victory comes ? The pre tence of there being Union men in the South is fast vanishing. One officer who is a prisoner in Alabama writes : " I have already alluded in a former letter to the extraordinary unanimity of sentiment of the people of the South in regard to this war; all whom I con versed with—and they were not a few—express ar dent Secession views. This dwarfish place appears almost entirely deserted by its inhabitants ; they having entered the army to repel (as they term us) Lincoln's hordes,' Hessians,' Indians,' and many other silly epithets. It is time our Government looks this fact square in the face. Our troops have been worsted in almost every battle. The enemy have certainly proved themselves a belligerent Power. Therefore let the war be conducted on civi lised principles ; let an immediate exchange of pri soners be effected and I think in less than 12 months more we will be able to bring the Confederates back into the Union which they are now endeavouring to dismember," All the prisoners are urgent for exchange, and he pressure on the Government to yield so much of recognition is increasing daily. The men suffer privations, and are in need of clothing and blankets, as well as other necessaries. And, in deed, no wonder, for the South cannot clothe its own troops. The kiPed, wounded, and pri• soners in the affair at Dranesville were dressed in cotton clothing, and this in weather which is now keen and raw, with bitter cold winds and frost at nights. As the war continues it requires augment ing faith to believe in the speedy success—in any success in subjugating the South, for the arm of the North will be stricken down for want of means. The capture of Savannah and Charleston is daily expected, and the farther the North advances the more will it be distracted by contending views on the negro question. The Secessionist organ in New York, which endeavours to conceal its policy under the cloak of immense zeal for the Union and the Constitution, calls on the Government to arrest the editor of the Tribune and all the leading Aboli tionists, and declares such an act would be of more service than if Gen. M'Clellan won a great battle at 'Manassas. Neither is very likely just at present. The General indeed may contemplate a movement, but his victory is by no means assured. Trusting the defence of the outlying States to their own people, the Confederates appear to have concentrated an enormous force on the Potomac. Missouri has shown how its sympathies lie in one district at least, by destroying 100 miles of the North Missouri Railroad, from Hudson to Warrentown, and Ken tucky has received less aid from the South than she has from the North. SATURDAY, 28th. General M'Clellan is slowly recovering from an attack of fever of a mild typhoid type, which has been treated homoeopathically, and was probably much exasperated in conseqaence. General Marcy, his father-in-law, and chief of his Staff, has also been undergoing homoeopathy and an attack of some other illness, from which he is getting better, but neither is fit at present to direct operations. There are no indications that the long talked of, much expected advance is to take place very speedily, but to the eye of faith things look pro mising. It is certain than Jan. 15 is approaching rapidly, and that promises must be fulfilled. The troops who have been sent down to points along the coast are suffering from sickness. Those at Hat teras are in a miserable plight. The corps of occu pation at Beaufort is much reduced .by sickness. In Missouri the indefatigable Price, having been threatened by the successes and activity of the Fede ral General Popo with the loss of communications, is making a retreat once more to Arkansas, whence he will no doubt emerge in a few days to lay waste once more anything left to be wasted in that unhappy province—or State. General Siegel, in the West, is disappointed because ho has not an independent command of 20,000 men, and threatens to resign. General Wool, in the East, is eagerly looking for a force of 30,000 men under his orders, to operate on the rebels from Fortress Monroe. General Rose crans is here to prosecute his charges against General Benham. General Sherman, in Kentucky, is said to have gone mad. Brigadier-General Phelps, at Ship Island, is excused by some organs for his proclama tion on the ground that he was formerly deranged. As to the row at Paducah between General Smith and his subordinates nothing further has come to my kne-Medge ; but I know that much of the time of the authorities is occupied by settling disputes between the higher officers. The great Mississippi expedition, which was to have sailed at the end of autumn, is not yet ready, inasmuch as the troops are not properly equipped ; but the mortar vessels and gunboats are nearly all in readi ness. It is believed that in a fortnight or earlier Generals RoFecrans and Reynolds will move forward from Romney on the right, while :11`Clellan advances on Manassas, and Burnside turns up somewhere on the right flank of the Confederates in Virginia. The Confederates say they desire nothing better, but they will meet different men from the three months' volunteers encountered at Bull's Run; and though they may have improved in discipline, they cannot have effected any great alteration for the better in their own arms and equipments. DECEMBER 29. The lack of ordinary political common sense—of any sort of common sense in the comments of the American journals on the relations of the great Powers with the Government of the United States is astounding. They are really open to the charge of the Confederate paper which accuses them of judicial blindness and ineanity. Tho known senti ments of France are supposed to be counterbalancd by the alliance of Mr. W S. O'Brien, and an Irish rebellion is confidently reckoned on as the result of a war with Great Britain by the "Know - nothings" and " Native Americans." I have to rub my eyes over and over again as I read. Here, now, is a State official writing under a nem de plume to a journal of position in Philadelphia, who gravely declares that if the Government here had been as "precipitate" as that of England we should have had inevitable war. The President maintained a significant reticence, and the Secretary of State awaited the course of events, while the patriotic press and the people were honouring Captain Wilkes ; but the British Ministry, it appears, on the ex parte statement of their prejudiced officers, rushed to the extreme of madness, and encouraged their people to the most inflammatory demonstrations, forgetting how they had encouraged the abolition excitement by their British emissaries—Trellope, Bank, Hall, and George Thompson —and by luxurious banquets to Mrs. Stowe, and would not wait for the President's explanation, who had in his significant reticence none to offer; or the action of the Secretary of State, who was awaiting the course of events. "Insensate pride," " drunken rage," "hatred," "ambition," "unreasoning mad ness," "British tyrants," "Irish unanimity" —such phrases and sentiments to tickle the palate of the vulgar are used by the Philadelphia oracle, without the smallest sense of shame, in reference to a just and calm demand made by the British Government for restitution and redress, with which his Govern ment is about to comply. While all the nations of the world are exclaiming against the outrage, the multitude are told that " the civilised world will not hesitate, while applauding the magnanimous course of the United States, to affix the lasting seal of condemnation on the arrogant and domineering proceedings of the British Government." However, as the people have f oun d ou t th at "France a common will"a nd" England d are " i n th i s matter follow policy and expect a concession to the principles of international law, w hi c h cannot b e refused without a practical test o f the i nd i fference of Americans to the public opinion of Europe, they will probably forget all these sesquipedalian words and sentiments, and "permit Mason and Slidell to slide." "When Lord Lyons shall send back to his masters the moderate and dignified answer of Mr. Seward the discomfiture of the British aristocracy will be complete." There is a perfect lunacy here about this" aristocracy," which is generally supposed to be connected with large cotton manufactories, and which is fiercely opposed by Mr. John Bright and Mr. Cobden, who are probably regarded as country gentlemen of the Hampden type, and by Mr. Iron -IPePll°,se'to be connected and by Mr. O'Brien o h of th e I r i s h peop l e. sswoi side, h i w s o w a h w u i is n t h e t r , O o u Oliver n g e h d t m r l o o i r MONDAY, DEC. 30. Lord Lyons this day arranged with Mr. Seward for the reception of Messrs. Mason and Slidell under the protection of the British flag. So little confidence had the American Minister in the obedience of the American multitude that he desired the preparations to be made as secretly as possible, It was, after a good deal of argument and compro mise, decided that a vessel under the American flag was to proceed to Fort Warren, and there receive the prisoners, and that then she was t o repa i r to the rsn war, in which th ey would sail for Halifax. It will th us b e o b served that American se port to ofa British Ptovin man-of--war, fr them ow .on. where she w ou ld f the captives will leave the sh ores o f t h e U n i ted t States under the shelter of the flag from which they were forcibly removed. In acceding to this arrange ment, Lord Lyons was prompted by the desire to spare the feelings of a people so proud and so irri table as our American brethren. When the refugees are at Halifax they can act as they please, but it i s doubtful if the Admiral has a comfortable vessel to spare for their passage to England. The statement which appear in the journals here do not deserve the smallest credence, and are hazarded without the smallest foundation. It is not true that Lord Lyons dined with Mr. Seward on Friday last, and that the matter was arranged there. FRIDAY, JAN. 3. The papers having suspended their circulation for one day, in order to enable their printers to enjoy. New Year's-day, have re.appeared this morn ing with some expressions of gratification at their finding the world had been able to survive their absence. It is almost ludicrous to read their la borious efforts to prove that the people were quite indifferent to the surrender of Mason and Slidell, and to watch the faces which the indifferent ‘ g people make as they sw a ll ow t h e i r " great tr i umph of diplomacy," or. " Mr. S ewar d' s N ew I nternat i onal Law," or whatever el se t h e fact i s called. One paper candidly admits, i n a l et t er f rom B oston, that the people were excee di ng l y angry, and would have made sho r t wor k o f t h e Commis sioners ; or as it calls th em i n anot h er p l ace, " the Ministers to France and E ng l an d," h a d they fallen into their hands. It i s a d m itt e d th a t the country was in a state of "i n t ense exc it ement " atthe " the two noteriou3 rebel s ," but as i ' not rr. capture Seward l in found out that they wer e `comparatively insignificant," and that their arrest w form, th e country as su dd enly le became quite resigned to the surrender. The tone of public feeling in Great Britain is still regarded with apprehension, and is fiercely denounced, but the American press does not consider how entirely its language and the acts of its Government are to blame for the national irritation. Let them remem ber the writings, and speeches, and acts which have been reported to England, mail after mail, since the seizure, all of them justifying it, after de 31aring the intention of the people and the Govern ment to sustain the act. Even as it stands it would seem that the American Government are of opinion the law of nations would justify them in seizing any of our mail steamers in which any "rebel" emissary was a passenger, or in the mail-bag of which a "rebel" despatch could be found, and taking her into port for condemnation. Everything which has gone to England has been of a nature to increase the national excitement, and it will be great surprise to discover that the articles and speeches and public excitement meant just nothing at all but readiness to do whatever the Gover nmen t liked. In Great Britain we attach weight to such manifestations. Hero they mean, on their own showing, nothing whatever so far as fo reign Governments are concerned, and the little piece of information thus afford e d t o us may be useful on future occasions. There are rumours, to which some credence should be atta c h e d, t h at a vast slave conspiracy has been discovered in the South, and that the leaders have been executed or destroyed. It is affirmed, with alarming probability of truth, that the negoes on Dr. Duncan's plantation, on Dr. Mercer's, and on General Quitman's estate, have been or are in a state of insurrection. The Demo cratic party wash their hands of any complicity in or approval of such assistance from our natural allies ; but the abolition organs for some time past have been rebuking their leaders for a coyness and un willingness to encourage the slaves to emancipate themselves, and the readiest way of procuring emancipation is to murder their masters. The new year opens with a general disposition on the part of the Government and the politicians to tax the people to carry on the war by some proces - s of direct taxaticn. Here is the new era coming. One writer in the New York Times supposes that that the war will impose a debt of 2,000,000,000 dols., and demands a tax large enough to pay the interest and to keep the Government going; and in proof that such a tax is very easy states that the valuation of real and personal estate in the United States, according to the censuses of 1850 and 1860, was in 1850, 7,135,780,227 dols. ; in 1860, 16,159,616,068 dols.; increase, 9 ,023,835,841 dols., or 126 . 45 per cent. in the 10 years. Ho further adds that the amount of personal property in the United States, according to the last census was five billions eighty-one millions six hundred and sixty thousand dollars, and it is, proposed to raise a re. venue of more than .£60,000,000 in the follow ing manner : A. tax of 1 per cent. on all real and personal Dols. property, to produce net 110,000,000 The tariff, readjusted „, ... 80,000,000 Excise (ales, cider, and liquors)..... 25,000,000 Tonnage of 1 dol. per ton on all vessels, canal -boats, and railroad companies (an nually) 15,000,000 Stamps Income-tax 15,000,000 Legacies, transfers of real estate and of cor porate stocks Tax on soap, randlcs, oil, gas, salt, and other articles, on which it is easy and convenient to collect 25,000,000 15,000,000 Aggregate (annually) 300,000,000 The blessings of free institutions are becoming rather costly, and it is my humble opinion that the peOplo will not pay that price for them in many parts of the United States, even supposing the figures to be above suspicion. THE NAVY. While the Defence, 18, Capt. R. H. Powell, C. 8., was under steam on Wednesday, in the run from Chatham harbour to Folly Point, her rate of steam ing was exceedingly satisfactory, a speed of 13 knots an hour being attained with only two boilers at work. From the trials already made to test her steaming capabilities, it is confidently believed she will reach a speed of 18 to 20 knots an hour with her full boiler power. As she will have to depend a great deal on hersails she has been what is termed bark-rigged, in order to spread the greatest possible amount of canvass. Cunningham's patent self reefing topsails, which have been manufactured at the dockyard, were yesterday fixed on board. On the occasion of her run from the harbour to Folly Point her rudder was found not to work satis factorily, the " yoke" was accordingly un shipped yesterday, and landed at the dockyard, in order to have some alterations effected in it. A much larger rudder yoke has been forged at the smithery to take the place of that which has been unshipped. The vessel is to be fitted with Clifford's boat-lowering apparatus. Up to yes terday no date had been given for the departure of the Defence from Chatham, and from the large amount of work still requiring completion on board it is doubtful whether she can leave her present berth for at least ten days or a fortnight. It is now understood that before proceeding on her cruise, to test her sailing capabilities during the equinoctial gales, she will be tried as a ram in run ning down a vessel selected for the experiment, in order to enable the Admiralty to ascertain her powers in this respect. The sister iron steamship Resistance, now fitting in dock at Chatham, is being pushed forward as rapidly as the resources of that establishment will permit, and will probably be completed in about six weeks or two months from this date. The Caesar, 86, screw, Capt. Thomas H. Mason, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from Ply mouth and the Mediterranean. She is ordered into Portsmouth harbour to dismantle and be put out of commission. The Warrior, 40, iron frigate, Capt. the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, C. 8., arrived at Spithead yesterday afternoon from off Osborne, where she has been relieved by the Vigilant, 5, screw, Commander J. W. Pike. The Warrior is ordered to embark supernumeraries at Spithead for the Mediterranean and West India stations, which she will convey to Lisbon. On arrival there sho will transfer those for the North American and West India squadron to the Edgar, 86, screw, flag of Rear-Admiral S. C. Dacres, C. 8., which sails immediately afterwards to join VicgoAdiniral Milne's squadron. The supernume raries for the Mediterranean will be transferred to some other ship, and, according to present orders, the Warrior will await further instructions at Lisbon. The Black Prince, 40, iron frigate, at Portsmouth, has now 340 mechanics and labourers employed upon ber, exclusive of hands from the factory de ' partment or in connection with engines of the ship. This number of men is to be further increased on Monday next by another division of shipwrights, and probably of labourers, &c., in proportion. The plan for the fitment and application of the hydraulic apparatus for steering the ship is still before the authorities, receiving their final consideration. It is proposed to inclose the cylinder and pistons in a box of 31 and 4-1- inch iron abaft the rudder head, under the beams of the upper deck, and the appli cation of the power to be brought to bear upon the rudder head by a right and left threaded screw, similar to the one fitted on board the American frigate Niagara. It is also proposed to supply the Black Prince with a 90-horse power engine and steam capstan for heaving up the anchor, raising the screw, &c., and thus keep the hydraulic power intact for steering purposes. The hired scre;late;m transport Adelaide, Capt. Lambert, bound with the 15th Regiment from Cork for Halifax, which put back to Plymouth on Wed nesday, went yesterday (Thursday) from the Sound into Hamoaze, where she she will discharge 25 tons of ball cartridge and disembark her troops, in order that she may be repaired. The screw steamship Revenge, 89, Capt. FeHowes, went on Wednesday from Hamoaze into Plymouth Sound, and received her powder yesterday (Thurs day) morning. The Osborne, paddlewheel steam-yacht, Master Commander Bower, is receiving her boats and stores, preparatory to proceeding to Osborne to embark the luggage, &c., belonging to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, after which she will leave for Trieste to meet his Royal Highness, who is about to make his intended tour, which was delayed in con sequence of the death of the Prince Consort. The Britannia, naval cadet ship, Captain Harris, wiii be tukeu Jut,u the ship basin to-day, and from thence into No. 2 dock, as soon as it is clear of the Meteor, floating-battery, which is being broken up. An American man-of-war screw -steamer, flying the Federal flag, passed through Spithead on Thurs day afternoon, and anchored off Osborne. Shortly after the Pigmy, paddle-wheel steam-tender, Master Commander Johnstone, went out of harbour and procceeded with instructions from the port-admiral that the steamer should remove from that anchorage either to Cowes or Spithead, so that the retirement of her Majesty might not in any way be likely to be disturbed. The Calypso, 18, sailing-vessel, Captain F. B. Montresor, which has lately returned to England from the Pacific, where she has been stationed about four years, is now being rapidly dismantled at Chatham, and her rigging and other stores returned to the dockyard. The Mary, victualling lighter, has been alongside the vessel, taking in the remainder of her provisions for conveyance to the victualling yard at Deptford. Her water tanks have also been taken out. So energetic have been the proceedings of the officers and crew with regard to the stripping of the Calypso, that although she only entered the harbour on Sunday last, she is already divested of nearly everything which it is intended to take out of her. Her crew, numbering about 180, including marin es, will, according to present arrangement, be paid cff on Monday next, Admiral Sir Edward Durnford King, K.C.H., ex pired on Tuesday evening, at his residence in Devon shire. This distinguished officer entered the navy in 1788, and first went afloat in 1789 on board the Director, 64, Capt. T. West. By his gallantry in the actions of the 29th of May and the Ist of June, 1794, he obtained promotion to the rank of lieuten ant, he having been midshipman on board the Bar fleur in Lord Howe's action. In 1795 he was ap pointed to the Dryad, 44, of which he became flag lieutenant under Lord A. Beauclerk. He assisted at the capture, after a spirited action, of the French frigate Proserpine, 42, and was promoted to the rank of commander for his conduct on that occasion, haying been strongly recommended by his com- PRICE ...4d.

His next appoint ment was to the Endymion in the spring of 1805. In that frigate betook part in the blockade of Cadiz. In the same ship he assisted at the defence of Gaeta in 1806. As captain or the Monmouth, 64, he as sisted at thecapture of Tranquebar. He was actively employed afloat until 1828. In 1833 he was knighted by King 'William IV. In July, 1840, he was ap pointed commander-in-chief at the Cape of Good Hope and Brazil station, and in 1845 was selected for the chief command at the Nore. His commis sions bore date as follows :—Lieut., Sept. 5, PH ; commander, June 23, 1796; capt..," Jan. 8, 1801; rear-admiral, July 22, 1830; vice -admiral, Nov. 23, 1841; and admiral, Oct. 30, 1849. Sir Edward had received the medal for Lord Howe's action, also the naval medal and two clasps. He was among the flag- officers in receipt of a good service pension. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Commander E. W. Wilmot, to the Agamemnon ; Lieut. Hugh H. Knocker, to be flag-lieut. to Commodore Dunlop, C.B. ; Lieut. Philip E. Luard, to the Imaum ; Lieutenant Henry J. F. Campbell, to the Royal Adelaide; Lieutenant John Liddell, to be flag lieut. to Vice-Admiral Sir Houton Stewart, Commander-in-Chief at Devon port; Lieut.

Brenan, assistant paymaster, to the Shannon ; F. A. Carter, clerk, to the Shannon; and James Tatlock, assistant clerk, to the Shannon. THE ARMY. His Royal Highness the General Commanding in-Chief has appointed Major Connolly, of the Coldstream Guards, and Captain Herrick, 2d bat talion 12th Foot, Instructor of Musketry at the depot battalion, Walmer, to assist the Ordnance Select Committee in making experiments with small arms of different kinds. The Secretary of State for War, with the concur rence of the Lords of the Treasury, has sanctioned the grant of two servants for officers of the rank of Brigadier-General, as also for those acting in that capacity, instead of one, as hitherto allowed. In anticipation of large demands being made on the Government Small Arms Factory at Enfield, the whole of the workmen employed in that estab lishment were on several occasions during the last few weeks kept at work the whole night. It was found that the existing gas arrangements were not of a nature to admit of a sufficient supply being kept up during the whole night. Prompt measures are now, by direction of the Secretary of State for War, being taken to remedy this defect. The sick and disabled troops sent home from India and the colonies, and also the time-expired troops, the whole of whom were inpected at Chat ham by a Chelsea Board of Officers, who assembled at St. Mary's Baraacks on Friday last for that pur pose, were discharged from the army at the invalid establishment yesterday, and forwarded to their respective homes. A few convalescent troops who, upon examination, were found to be fit for further service, were sent to rejoin their respective depots at the several home stations. The discharged troops going to Scotland and Ireland will leave the invalid depot to-morrow. Notwithstanding the large number of troops who have been discharged at Chatham for some time past, the numbers show scarcely any diminution, the average number of men discharged being nearly 100 weekly for some time past. This rate will, however, now be lessened, owing to the termination of the season during which it is customary to despatch troops from India to England. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. GREAT WESTERN. A special general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Paddington Station, for the purpose of considering and determining with refe rence to certain heads of arrangement which had been provisionally made between the directors of the South Wales Railway Company and the direc tors of the Great Western Railway Company for a lease of the undertaking of the South Wales Rail way Company to the Great Western Railway Com pany, and for the ultimate amalgamation of those companies and the West Midland Railway Com pany. The Eafl of Shelburne, the chairman of the company, presided. Mr. C. A. Saunders, the secretary, read the notice convening the meeting. The CHAIRMAN said the subject they had to con sider was one that had been so much in the minds of the proprietors of both companies that it would not require much comment on his part to induce them to carry out the object for which they had met. At the same times he thought the arrange ment that had been conic to was a matter of con gratulation for the proprietors, inasmuch as that which appeared some time ago to be an intermin able difficulty was now set at rest. It would be recollected that he had stated at a former meeting what had been offered to the South - Wales Company, and he had told them that the Great Western bad then gone to the limit in offering certain terms of arrangement. He might be asked vrhy he had gone from those figures. His answer would be that he believed it to be for the interest of the Great Wes tern Company to do se. The who.e question had been sifted with great care on both sides, and also I by the South Wales directors and themselves. He had told the proprietors on a former occasion as to how many meetings had been held, with a view to come to a settlement of the disputes then existing. After carefully going into the matter the directors of both companies came very nearly to the same conclusions, and the difference was not a large one. At the same time, considering the indications that which the eompaannya prevailed at the last meeting on the subject, and looking to the exp ens es might be put by ll other matters, he came to the conclusion that it w as long contest t o in i Parliament w for the best interests of the Great Western share holders that they should endeavour to put an end to that most disastrous state of things. Every thing was duly weighed on both sides, and a compromise of the two points in dispute was ef fected. Both parties made a . slight concession, and certain terms were decided on. Th e Secretary then read the following : " HEADS OF AGREEMENT. u 1. Great Western Railway Company, in lieu of th e present agreement, are to lease the S mth Wales for a period of six years, or until after the Great Western and West Midland arrangement be sanc tioned by Parliament as hereinafter referred to in clause 4, whichever may first happen. " 2. Great Western are to have full and indepen dent power of fixing rates, &c., and working the South Wales as a part of their own system during such lease. " 3. Great Western are to pay a fixed rent of £170,000 per annum during such lease. The pro perty to be leased to comprise the line of railwayas now constructed, with all buildings, cottages, and; The CHAIRMAN then moved a formal resolution approving and confirming the heads of agreement entered into with the South Wales Railway Com. puny, dated the sth of Nov., 1861, and authorising the directors to give effect to the same between the three companies or any two of them. Lord BARRINGTON seconded the motion. After some observations from Mr. Taylor, Mr. Delahunty, the Rev. Mr. Nicholson, and Mr. Salter, the resolution was adopted. On the motion of the Chairman, the meeting was adjourned to Friday, the 21st of February, when. the final deed of arrangement would be submitted to the proprietors for their sanction. Similar resolutions were passed at meetings of the South Wales and West Midland Railway Com pany. DOUBLE MURDER IN _ESSEX. CLAVERING, ESSEX, THURSDAY EVENING. A frightful murder has been committed at Star ng-green, Clavering, a village on the borders of he counties of Essex and Herts. The house in which be crime was committed is in a lonely place. Built in a hollow, it is about half a mile from any other human habitation. The place was occupied by a man Lamed Samuel Law, a farm labourer and rat - - catcher, about 27 years of age, and his family. He had been married to hit wife Rebecca, aged 25, for seven years. Two children were the issue of the marriage, the eldest being over six years of age, and the youngest a boy, named Alfred, 16 weeks old. Law was a man of loose habits. The woman was sober and generally well conducted. They fre quently quarrelled during the earlier portion of their wedded life, but of late years they lived more happily together. About a month ago the husband was charged with having broken a gate, and was sentenced to a month's imprisonment in Hertford Gaol. The term of incarceration expired on Friday. His wife had during his imprisonment gone into the Union house with her two children. He went to her on the following day, and promised to take her out if, as he said, he should sell every stick and rag he possessed. He redeemed his promise on the very next day, and early on Sunday morning he took her out of the Union and took her home. On Tuesday morning, it seems, the woman presented herself at her mother's house, which is situated at Langley, about 3 miles from Starling-green, Her hands and dress were besmeared with blood, and she was accompanied by her eldest child. They had walked across the fields and through a wood in the dead of night. Upon gaining admittance she said that someone had broken into the house and had murdered ber husband. She went into her mother's bed, and some time after wards told her parent that she herself was the mur deress. Soon after daybreak the statement came to the knowledge of a tradesman named Codling, for merly a police-officer, who, with a young man named Prentice, drove over in his horse and cart to Starling-green, and entered the house. He went upstairs, where a fr4hzful spectacle was presented to his view. Lay's body, covered with blood, was 13 ing partly on and partly out of the bed. The head was fearfully e mtitated. Subsequent examin a ti on disclosed nearly a hundred wounds o n th e h ead, ( nand codli nagn was d a r m s t . a r t I l V e d h i b l y e h l e o a o r k i i n n g g face, and neck, and from 1 5 to 20 terrible gas h es on t h a t e e t r h y e of an infant. It prov e d t o b e the youngest child, b th od e y ri M gh r t . which he wrapped up in a blanket and gave to Pren tice, witleut suspecting that any violence had been used towards it. Mr. Codling went back to Lang ley, where the woman was, and went to her mother's horse. When the womau first saw him she reached cut her hands and said, " Oh, my dear Sir, poor Sam's gone." This she repeated several times. She said, " I didn't want to hurt him, but I could not help it ; I was forced to it. I chopped him with the bill. He went to bed first, and then I went upstairs and struck him when he was asleep, and he shrugged his shoulders and jumped up. I struck him aga i n, and he groaned very much." She said that she struck him again several times after that. She then, according to her account, went down stairs and re mained in the house nearly an hour, and then went u p again and asked him if he knew h er. H e made a kind of expressive grunt of " Yes," and then she struck him again several times. She further said that all the time she WAS striking him there was such a noise on the stairs. She told witness " This murder I have seen a month ago, and heard Sam's shrieks and groans just as I heard them last night." She also said that she went down stairs and put the light out, and then started off to her mother s ; that going along, she lo)ked for a place to drown the child (referring, as witness presumed, to the one left alive), but she did not find any, and wa s a f ra id lest the shrieks of the child might be heard by any one. Witness said, "I wonder you did not drown yourself." She replied, "I wish I had, but I thought that one day out of hell was better than being in it." She then referred to the other child—the one that had been killed—and said, "I have killed poor Sam, and the child as well. I hit it with the ham mer." She kept constantly repeating the same words all the way to the lea-up, where witness consigned her to the care of the police authorities. On being examined the child discovered in the room where the murdered man was lying was found to be suffering from severe injuries. These had been inflicted about the head, apparently by a hammer or some implement of that description. Mr. Robin son, a surgeon of Newport, attended the child,which had been conveyed to the house of its grandmother in this place, and that gentleman at once adopted such reraedial measures as he was able. The ieju rice, however, were of such a nature that, after lin aliont the (Thy , in considerable agony throa t , g a dry, the unfortunate little creature expired about nine o'clock the same night. Although a very strict search has been made iu the house and in the out buildings for the hammer, the weapon has not been discovered. • With regard to any motive for such a crime no thing reliable is at present known. The wretched woman has not allowed a single word to escape her which would enable the motive to be ascertained. The Coroner's inquest was held yesterday after noon at the Fox and Hounds, Clavering, before Mr. C. C. Lewis, coroner for this division of the county, but no few facts were added to those above recorded. lands adjoining the railway Which may be consi dered by Mr. Fowler as now or proximately neces- sary for the traffic of the line, but not to include money, shares, or other property belonging to the South Wales Railway. " 4. As soon as the Great Western and West Midland amalgamation shall have been sanctioned by Parliament (a sanction which the companies re spectively bind themselves to seek without delay) the lease as now proposed on a fixed rental to be changed into a division of net receipts on the same principle as between the Great Western and 'Vest Midland, and further powers if any which may be necessary for that purpose to be forthwith applied for. "5. It 'is assumed that the Great Western Railway and Smith Wales Railway Amalgama tion. Act (if necessary) will be obtained in 1863; and that the amalgamation will take effect on the Ist of January, 1864. That for the years 1861 and 1865 the proportion of net receipts payable to the South Wales shall be 10.7 per cent.; for 1866 and 1867, 10 8 per cent.; and for 1868 and in perpe. tuity, 10.9 per cent, of the liaited Great Western Railway, West Midland Railway, and South Wales Railway net receipta. Should the amal gamation not be effected by the Ist of January, 1864, and the auditors of the South Wales and Great Western as at present shall certify that the net receipts of the South Wales Railway (allowing 54 per cent. fur working expenses) should exceed the .£170,000 agreed to be paid by clause 3, the South Wales Company shall be entitled, after the year 1863, to such excess receipts to the extent which they would have been paid had the amalgamation taken effect. And in no case shall the South Wales Company receive less than £170,000 per annum (whether the amalgamation takes effect or not pre viously to 1864) during ten years from the com mencement of the lease. " 6. Four directors are to be selected in the first instance by the Great Western Railway Board from - the , South -Wake Bmrd, to join. the amalgamatt-.'. Board of the Great Weifern 'Railway and West , Midland on the Ist January, 1862. " 7. The plant now belonging to the South Wales Railway, to be paid for by the Great Western Rail way and West Midland Company, at the rate of £5,000 per annum: "8. All additional capital required from the Ist of January, 1862, is to be considered as spent for development of traffic, and interest on it at 4-1- per cent. is to be a first charge. " 9. This arrangement is to commence on the Ist of January, 1862, up to which period South Wales are to provide for all debts and liabilities. " 10. Until the amalgamation is completed a sum of £1,500 a year is to be allowed by the Great Western and West Midland to the South Wales towards expenses of direction and management. " 11., All questions as to Barlow Rails are to be considered at an end, and the expenditure incurred in their renewal up to the Ist of January, 1862, is to be charged against joint traffic revenue up to that date. "12. A formal document is to be forthwith pre pared by Mr. Lloyd to carry out this arrangement, and, excepting as herein provided, the terms and conditions are to be as nearly as circumstances will admit the same as those of the Great Western and West Midland agreement. " 13. All qaestions of difference arising under this agreement are to be left to Mr. T. E. Harrison and Mr. Lloyd, to determine on behalf of both parties." -- ' 4 %IVEN AWAY TO NERVOUS SUFFERERS. lI ENRY SMITH, M.D., of the University of Jena, has just published, for the benefit of Nervous Sufferers, a FREE EDITION of his valuable work, THE WARNING VOICE TO YOUNG MEN (120 pages).
