By F. B. COURTENAY, 31.R.C.5.E., . _ _ And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subj ec t to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

Just Published, price ls., free by Post for Fourteen Stamps, QECOND LIFE : or ELECTRICAL NERVOUS FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special perusal of all who are suffering from the various forms of NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the distress ing ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO GALVANISM in the treatment of these Disorders, by infus ing tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated from various enervating causes. Illustrated with Cases com piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi tioner of twenty years' standing. Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a condition little short of total prostration, then by the action of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of SECOND LIFE.

Since the issue of the report of the Government Commission on the capabilities of Galway harbour, an abstract of which was given in The SIM of the 29th of March, another official document has been published, purporting to be, as its title denotes, a copy of the instructions of the 11th of June, 1852, from the Admiralty to the committee appointed to inquire into the suitableness and capabilities of the ports of Galway and the Shannon for a Transatlan tic packet station, in connection with a harbour of refuge ; and of the report and minutes of evidence of the said committee, together with the sailing directions for the river Shannon, drawn up by Lieut. Wolfe, R.N. The report of this committee is now nearly seven years old, it having been written some time in the summer of 1852. The reporters were Captain J. W. Beechey, R.N., Captain Smith, R.N., and Captain Giffin, R.N. These gentle men, on the point of situation. award 'a decided preference to the Shannon as a Transatlantic packet station. As regards the security and accom modation of the packets, and the convenien ce f or landing and embarking passengers and despatching the mails, it was found (in 185 9 ) that neither of the said ports was adapted for such services at th a t time. Galway Roads, although perfectly safe for a vessel to ride at her anchors, if properly found in ground tackling, was not (it is reported) sufficiently protected from the sea to be recommended as a p l ace where passengers could atalltimes be safely or con veniently embarked or landed, and discharged, and there was no basin there•suffi ciently capacious to receive the vessels that would be required for the purpo se . I n th e Sh annon there are two places, Foynes and T ar b er t, e ith e r of which afford secure anchorage at all times, but neither had the requisite landing accommodation. After consi dering the deficiencies of these places respectively, the committee determined that large and extensive works would be required to render Galway Roads secure and suitable for a packet station. It would be necessary, they say, to protect the anchorage by a strong pier run off Mutton Isle to the south-south east, to a distance of 2,500 feet (very nearly), and to fill up the space between that island and the main, and a basin would be further necessary to protect the packets in the winter months, and when requiring refit: Other works and two lighthouses would be required. It was the opinion of the engi neer consulted by the committee, Mr. Roberts, of 'the Board oe-Works, that. certain works proposed and c i een wl . `necessary by the counnittee could not bQ executed at Galway wider the enormous of £227,600 ; arid judging 'from the expense :of. these limited works, it was computed that the more com plete plan could not be carried out under double that sum. Mr. Roberts proposed a plan the'expense of • which he estimated -at.X155,600, .but this -the:com mitten rejected, concluding that £230,000 .would be the minimum, sum required to adapt Galway to a Works proposed station for th e Atlantic voyages. proposed to be executed at Tarbert and Foynes are next considered in detail. The expense of a pier and basin at Tarbert is roughly esti mated at £75,000, and that of a pier and break water at - Foynes at L 13,000, in addition to which £96,000 and £137,000 would be required for connecting Foynes and Tarbert respectively with the lines of railway then (1852) constructed in connection with Dublin. As regards the relative merits of these Lets as a packet 2tatioD ' tLe com mittee, as before stated, yield the preference to the "Z --t NEA.SPAPER r- t Shannon over t)e port of Galway, and , ri7 itt • places in that river already s o often tog prefer Foynes to Tarbert, on account oft shelter which is already formed th ere, an " ft.ll - 0 -‘ readiness with which it may be adapted to the %r- " vice; also on account of its beicg out of the way of vessels navigating the Shannon. Tarbert Roa . d is well known as the great stopping place for the 'trade of this river to Limerick, and the resort of vessels taking shelter from sea in bad weather ; and an inconvenience might occasionally arise on Vit a account. It would, besides, require a great outlay of money as compared with what would he neces sary at Foynes ; it is therefore considered desirable, iu the event of a station being determined on at either of the two ports of Galway or the Shannon, to adapt Foynes to the purpose ; but it is the opi nion of the majority of the committee that neither of the ports of Galway or the Shannon are suitable to a service requiring the greatest regularity and despatch, as from the nature of the coast, the pre vailing winds and weather, and high seas, frequent delays, both for daylight and for the weather to clear, will cause interruption in the winter months, especially to the regular arrival of the packets, al though we do not think it will interfere much with their regular departure. As regards a harbour of refuge in connection with a packet station; either of the ports of Galway or the Shannon could be made efficient by the arrangement of lighthouses. On the other hand, the dictum of the Commissioners ap pointed last year to report on certain points respect ing Galway Bay, already referred to, is decidedly in favour of that " natural" harbour as a packet station and place of refuge, and hence the Govern ment will be sorely perplexed to decide between the two, THE WAR IN ITALY. A letter from Voghera of the 23d says :—".I left Alessandria yesterday morning at five o'clock: by ,railway, and after passing by the little. town cf Tortona, stopped in 'view of Pontecurotic, -. -where the head-quarters of Marshal Baraguay d'Hilliers are established. All the country is extremely fertile, and the only thing it, .has to complain of is the torrent of the Curone, which often, in the rainy season and on the melting of the snow, overflows its banks, and ravages the roads and plains. At this moment the Curone is tolerably low, and can be crossed without danger. Voghera, where I next arrived, is set down in all the geographical dic tionaries as a town ; it is even said in those works that it is the last one in Piedmont, and that the country which extends to Piacenza only contains villages like Broni and Stradella. But I must affirm that Voghera is only a vil lage like many of those on the banks of the Seine, near Paris ; it has, however, just now a very numerous military population. I found tho French soldiers engaged in the painful labour o providing for the wounded and, burying the dead. Many remains of the combat of the 20th have been. collected! arms, heaps of uniforms, plates bearing the double-headed eagle, bayonet sheaths, &c. The lead whom I saw were almost all in white coats, with dark green or blue trousers bearing a red stripe. The head-dress is in the form of a mitre. Almost all. these men were young and strong. Their features, however, denoted that they had undergone great fatigue, and the prisoners who have been taken ' affirm that for some time the cmps d'armee to which they belonged had had to suffer from forced marches and privations. Among the prisoners a good many are Hungarians. A domestic in the household of the Emperor, who is of that country, questioned several of them, and all seemed to bear their captivity with great philosophy, convinced as they are that France will treat them generously. The Austrian officers have been most kindly treated by the French offs - cers, as wine, coffee, cigars, everything likely to be agreeable, have been offered. Most of them have accepted the offers made, but others have abso lutely refused, and do not even answer the questions asked; one, a Dutchman, has thus far, it has been noticed, maintained the most obstinate silence " A letter from Alessandria of the 23d says : " Rain has recommenced here, but it does not seem to disquiet the soldiers encamped near this place. The sanitary state of the army is excellent. All this morning great agitation prevailed in the town. It was rumoured that very sharp engage ments, commencing last evening, and continuing all night, had taken place between the Piedmon *..e * , nnp g oncampod nn the line Casale to Vercelli and the Austrians. The report of cannon was heard about midnight, and it was said that the army, commanded by King Victor Emmanuel in person, was engaged on the banks of the &slit, after having made a forced march from Occimiano. Of that intelligence, nit that has been confirmed is this :—The main body of the Piedmontese army, commanded by the King, occupies the banks of - the Sesia, and is ex • changing a vigorous fire of artillery with the Austrians. The Austrians appear sufficiently strong to resist a long time, and make no move ment to the rear. The King, on his part, is sure to be able to maintain his position, and even hopes to be able to advance. The opinion, however, here is that the passage of the Sesia will not yet be effected. The Emperor, informed last evening of the events which were occuring on the Sesia, made preparations for advancing immediately on the receipt of other news. The horses of his Majesty were during the night held ready at the railway station, and the general staff has been kept on foot. A movement was even commenced—.a regiment of Zouaves of the Guard having been placed in railway carriages at four o'clock in the morning to proceed to Voghera, but the departure was afterwards counter manded. Incidents of this kind will no doubt be frequent during the campaign, and the soldier is prepared in advance to expect them. Before terminating this letter, I must mention a fact which needs no comment :—Early this morning, a man presented himself to the Grand Provost, and o s f ai t d he th n at am he e w o •a f s T a a d in es ; er t t h er at fro fo m r t t h w e o o7 y th ears Regiment, had been been residing in Switzerland, and that he wished to constitute himself a prisoner; he hoped that, after being brought to trial, he would be allowed to join his regiment, as he wanted to fight against the Austrians. He was tak en into custody, and will soon be tried. His case has been mentioned to the Emperor, and it is not improbable that on his trial no punishment will be inflicted, and that he will be allowed to re-enter the army. He is a young man, and was carrying on a lucrative business in Switzerland." The commandant of the fortress of Venice, Lieut. Marshal Baron Alemann, has issued an order, dated. the 16th, relating to the state of siege now decreed there. In cases of alarm, Fort St. George is to fire 12 guns, at which signal all civilians must imme diately retire into their houses, except functionaries in uniform, priests in the exercise of their func tions, erti an d physicians and sur geons p rov id e d with fi cates.

DISSENTERS, THE NEW PARLIAMENT, AND THE GOVERNMENT. (To the• Editors of the Freeman.) Sms,—Permit me to avail myself of your columns for the purpose of bringing together some of the results of the late general election, which may serve to guide the future pro ceedings of the friends of religious freedom. As far as we are concerned we have shared doubtless in the numerical losses which are acknowledged to have befallen the Liberal pally ; but our losses are neither so many nor so important as those of the mere party, and they are counter balanced in our case by some considerations which do not apply to " Ministry" and " Opposition." I find, on comparing the results with its division lists, that we have returned for England and Scotland alone, cer tainly, 260 "good men and true"—a larger number than have, as yet, actually voted with us upon any division, and who may, I believe, be depended on to vote our votes, irre • spectively of the convenience of the Minister of the day. I find also that, exclusive of what may be called neutral changes, nearly 20 of oar gains have had the effect of dis • placing as many of our staunchest opponents, while the ma jority of our losses consist of M.P.s who who did not show themselves practically anxious to be regularly at their posts on our divisions. It is to be observed, also, that the whole character of the election addresse betoken an understanding that it is no longer of use to make indefinite allusions to civil and religious liberty. Even upon Church-rates the "fair equivalent," " the exemption of Dissenters," " the maintenance of the sacred edifice," have almost dropped out of sight. Candidates who are not prepared to promise abo lition, say nothing. It may be doubted whether there is much more in the alli ance said to be struck up between the Government and the Irish Catholics, than the natural result of the hostility enter tained by that body to Lord John Russell ever since the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. Their absence, if necessary, from any division likely to place that noble lord in power, might, I imagine, be calculated upon quite independently of any charter promisable to a Catholic University. But, be this as it may, it is one of those incidents of the election which are of more importance to party interests than to those of religious liberty. As a body, the Irish Catholic M.P.'s take less interest in any religious liberty-question not affecting the pecuniary interests of their own church (when they usually vote wrong) than any section of the house. While, during the late Parliament, they ought never, according to ordinary calculation, to have brought less than fifty votes to our assistance on any important di vision, and never had any difficulty in meeting Mr. Spooner with. sixty, their indifference on Church-rates, &c , was so much regarded as a matter of course, that they were not expected to furnish twenty or, at the most, twenty-five M.P.'s to the list of the Religious Liberty teller. Once, indeed, under the influence of very unusual remonstrances, they made an effort and brought up about forty votes to the aid of Mr. Black; but whether they will do as much for Sir John Trelawny at his next second reading, is generally thought to depend mainly on their need of his assistance for Mr. Fitzgerald's Catholic Oaths Bill. But, on the whole, it may be taken as a pretty safe calculation,"that any gain made by the Church party under this head will not do materially more than make up for the losses which they have experienced elsewhere. Looking to the above considerations, to the not few Con servatives who have pledged themselves to total abolition, to the number who, for same time past, have made it a rule not to vote against it, and to the hitherto unde cided Liberals who may be expected to follow the new lead in our favour of Lord John Russell, the results of the recent elections ought not to alarm us for the soundness of our cause. In what precise shape the question may next come up it is too soon to say. Sir John Trelawny of course brings in his bill, and Lord John sup ports it. Lord Palmerston abstains from voting against it, but makes no further sign, and is understood to have re sisted efforts from his more influential personal followers to induce him to declare himself. Mr. Estcourt has promised a bill of his own, the nature of which he has not stated, but which, if his own, will be not slightly in advance of Mr. Walpole's extraordinary production. Lord Stanley, again, is the only Cabinet Minister who has committed himself, both in and out of office, to pure and simple abolition—not voting for the measure of his own Government, and voting-, a few days after, in the majority with Sir J. Trelawny. It will be impossible that there should not be a party divi sion, and it will be impossible for the advanced Liberal leaders not to take a part of their own in the arrangements which precede it. In th ese arrangements it ought to be understood that in whatever constituencies there is a Libe ral party (whether county or borough), that party is always mere or less composed of a Dissenting element, without whose cordial concurrence it is impossible to win at an election. The least, therefore, that can be offered by an expectant Liberal Ministry is, that Church-rate Abolition shall be a Cabinet question. It ought to be equally, of course, that the bill for Abolishing Rate s i n G overnment Schools, if not taken up by the Government, should receive their cordial support. Our friends in the House may be well assured that their conduct will be approved out of doors, if they abstain from turning out the present Government without explicit assurances on both these heads.

The annual spring meeting of the East Surrey Agricultural Association for sleep shearing and the exhibition of stock was held ' yesterday at Croydon. In the afternoon about 60 g entlemen sat down to dinner at the King's Arms H otel. Mr. T. Byron occupied the chair, and there were also pre sent the Hon. J. P. Locke King, M.P., the Rev. E. B. Benyon, Mr. Cressingham, Mr. Sutherland, Mr, Drummond, Mr. Mortimer, and several of the lead ing agriculturists of the district. The customary loyal toasts having been drunk, Mr. SUTHERLAND briefly proposed " the health of the members for the eastern division of the county," reminding them at agricultural meetings they always lost sight of political differences. Mr. ALCOCK, M.P., in responding, said it was quite true that they differed very essentially upon some measures, and it would be a very dull and monotonous state of affairs if, upon every question of interest connected with agriculture, politics, religion, hunting, or shooting, they were all of one opinion. If there were no differences of opinion there would be no longer that spirit of emulation or that reasonable jealousy and envy which was essential to the wellbeing of any community in the world. (Hear, hear.) On the Continent we saw a magnificent nation, consisting of some 36,000,000 people, who called themselves the Germanic Con federation, differing most essentially among them selves in reference to the ordinary proceedings of life, but the moment they had a common object in which they were all interested ; such as having to oppose the army of France—which no doubt they would very shortly be called upon to do—the whole 30 states of which the confederation con sisted became as one man. (Hear, hear.) Such was also the case in England. They might differ very considerably upon minor questions, but let them have an opportunity of showing their patriot ism, and they would be found of one mind, ready at any moment to enter the lists against any m a n or nation who attempted anything derogatory to the dignity and honour of their country. (Cheers.) He saw with great satisfaction that they had already established a corps of volunteer riflemen at Croydon, and he thought they had done themselves honour and credit in being among the foremost in England to exhibit their patriotism. (Cheers.) It was of the utmost importance that at the present moment the people of England should unite in establishing volunteer corps, in order to render it perfectly certain that no attempt to invade this country by any foreign nation could have the most remote chance of success. If we possessed one, two, or three hundred thousand riflemen, or even 50,000 or 60,000 good marksmen, it would be im possible for any hostile army to land and penetrate for 10 miles into the country. (Cheers.) No foreign army could ever land and form in readiness for battle if they were liable to be harassed and made targets of by a body of 50,000 or 100,000 picked marksmen. (Hear, hear.) It was necessary, however, that every rifle corps about to be esta blished should have a good practice ground to which every man who had a taste for firearms could resort, without running the risk of shooting his neighbour or his neighbour's cow. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) It was said that such were the facilities afforded in these times of steam that France or any other foreign country could embark and land troops upon the shores of England in a few hours. He did not believe that they could do anything of the kind. What was the case iii the late war in the Crimea ? About 40,000 troops were landed in the Crimea in June or July, 1854, but it was five days after com mencing to land before they attempted to march. (Hear, hear.) If that afforded a proper criterion of the difficulties attending the invasion of a hostile country, it would be impossible for Russia, France, or any other country to land 50,000 or 60,000 men, and have them prepared to penetrate into this country, before every rifle corps could be brought against them. For his own part he believed there was no fear of invasion, but at the same time it was necessary that we should be prepared for any emergency that might arise. (Cheers.) Mr. LOCKE KING, M.P., also responded. He referred to the great question of peace or war, and said he was truly glad to find that it was a ques tion upon which they were all of one mind. He belieVed they were all in favour of maintaining peace so long as it could be maintained with safety to the honour and the interest' of the country. (Cheers.) At the same time he was not the man to wish for peace if he found that it could only be maintained by an injury to that which was dear to all Englishmen—the honour of their country. (Cheers.) Of what good would it be to them to maintain a peace at the sacrifice of their honour ? He believed that a change had taken place in pub lic opinion which was most satisfactory. In former times England was looked upon as a most pug nacious nation, ready at any time to embark in a war when any of the other nations of Europe were at hostilities. But the experience which we had since acquired had rendered us much wiser. We had no reason to seek, as we used to do in former times, for territorial aggrandisement, for we knew very well that an increase of territory would be a source of weakness to us, and not of power—that it would not add to our wealth, but, on the con trary, to our poverty. (Hear, hear.) No doubt, war was sometimes necessary, but he sincerely trusted that such would not be the case now ; and to show one stmong the many horrors of war he would mention a remarkable circumstance con nected with the French nation which was once told him when travelling in France by a gentle man who was a most profound philosopher. It was a notorious fact that the French nation had very much deteriorated of late years, and that very great difficulty was experienced in reinforcing the ranks of the army by men of the same stature and calibre as the troops of former years. The gentleman to whom he alluded—an ex perienced Frenchman, thoroughly conversant with the matter—told him that when the Government were compelled to have recourse to conscription they were constantly obliged to lower the standard. The reason assigned for it was that in the great war of Napoleon the best men were continually taken, and absorbed, and destroyed. That ex plained. how it was that the present class of Frenchmen was so inferior. All the best men were draughted into the army and killed in the wars, the cripples and those not fit for warlike purposes being the only persons left at home, and from that class were the present race of Frenchmen descended. (Laughter and cheers.) Gentlemen might laugh, but they might depend upon it that there was a great deal of truth in the statement, and, for him self, he fully believed that the deterioration of the physical condition of a nation was one of the curses which war inflicted upon a country. (Hear, hear.) In speaking of the question of territorial aggran disement, he could not forget how completely peace had not only changed the national feeling, but the feelings of individuals also. Not many years ago the great ambition of every squire was to add to his territory. In those days an estate descended from father to son in very much the same con ditionas it had descended for ages. A far different state of things now existed. Every landlord was actually coerced by the tenant farmer into im proving his property. No tenant farmer worth owning as a tenant farmer would take or rent from a landlord an estate which had not been improved. (Hear, hear.) The landlord, if he had money, was obliged to spend it upon his estate, and if he had not money he was obliged to raise it some where in order to prevent his property from be coming a source of poverty, instead of wealth to him. The great body of tenant farmers throughout the country were greatly changed from what they were formerly. Not many years ago the worse farmer a man was the more land he coveted. He went and scratched over a large number of acres, and the result was that he only got a very poor return from them. He knew now that he must not only improve his farm, but must have capital to go on with, and that whatever he cultivated he must cultivate well. Improvement in this respect might be now traced from the landlord even down to the labourer. The round•frocked farmers of olden time hated an educated labourer, and believed that education was the worst thing that could exist. But what was the case now ?, The labourer had learned instead of serafehing over the land to become a neat farmer, and received wages in pro portion to his .skill. ,(Hear, hear.) There were many other questions connected with the agricul tural interest which the farmers would do well to study and think over for-themselves ; for he believed the tenant farmers, as a body, would be very powerful if they would only act in union and ask things in reason. What they ought now to aim at was to get the greatest possible amount of freedom for the soil. There ought to be greater freedom and greater simplicity in the process of transferring land from one person to another, and the tenant farmers ought to endeavour to obtain some more simple and comprehensive system of leases—leases easily' understood, instead of the old lease which no one except a lawyer could comprehend. (Hear, hear.) Then, again, there existed throughout a Great part of Surrey a system of valuation which. was the most injurious that could possibly be cler,ised. I As it now operated, the worse th e ou t go i ng t enant the more'he extracted from the incoming tenant, while the really good farmer wents-entirely unre ' warded. All these were questions which the agriculturists ought seriously to consider, in order to see if they could not introduce a better state of things. He believed if they did that they would do a great amount of good, not only to themselves, but to the landowners also. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the laws which affected agriculture, he took some credit to himself for having instituted an inquiry into the statute Book, so as to ascertain what the laws were which related, to agriculture. By an old statute of Henry VIII. he foun that the law limited the number of sheep which a farmer might keep, and also prohibited a tenant farmer from having more than two farms belonging to the same landowner. That statute, he was glad to say, we had repealed, but he had no doubt there wore many others which, though obsolete, might be resuscitated from time to time to the great in jury of the agriculturists. (Hear, hear.) There was only one other subject to which he would refer before concluding his remarks—namely, the sub.- ject of agricultural fixtures. What could be more absurd than to say that the tenant who put up any building in order to enable, him to carry on his business as a farmer when he quitted the farm shotild not be allowed to remove it, unless, by resorting to a kind of legal quibble, he had severed it from the freetiold by erecting it upon posts ? (Hear, heat.) He' thought the tenant ought t o b e allowed to erect what buildings he liked, and to take them away when he left, provided that is doing so he did no injury to the property of his landlord. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Locke King con cluded by proposing " The health of the chair - - man." (Cheers.) Severril other toasts having been drunk, the pro ceedings terminated. RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. SOUTH EASTERN. A special general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Bridge House Hotel to con sider two bills, one for making a railway from London-bridge to Charing-cross, and the other authorising the transfer of the Caterham Railway to the South Eastern Company—the Hon. J. Byng in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said the first bill he had to sub mit for their consideration was the bill authorising the construction of the London-bridge and Charing cross Railway. At the half-yearly meeting they confirmed the agreement entered into with the Charing-cross Company for 'the working of the line when constructed, and at the same time authorised the directors to subscribe towards the undertaking. The directors had vigorously supported the bill in Parliament, and endeavoured to promote its success by every means in their power. Having received the sanction of the committee of the House of Commons, it was now necessary to obtain their formal approval of it, under what was called the Wharncliffc Stan dingOrder,bcfore it was introduced into the House of Lords. The bill formed the subject of a protracted inquiry before the Commons' com mittee, and the evidence given in its favour was thoroughly sifted. The committee seemed to have regarded the measure of so much importance that they were not satisfied merely with the evidence of witnesses, but themselves made a personal inspection of the thoroughfares and buildings likely to -be affected by the construction of the proposed line, as well as of the London bridge station and its ap proaches ; and they must therefore regard the decision they had come to, after so much painstaking investigation, as a full confirmation of the necessity which existed for the construction of the Charing cross Railway. He need scarcely again point out the great importance of the line to South Eastern interests. By bringing their system into direct communication with the best quarters of the West-end they could not fail to secure a large ac cession of passenger traffic. They would also re deem in the most satisfactory manner the pledge given to Parliament, and which received the ap proval of the proprietors, with reference to the pro vision of an access to the western parts of London. The cordial support which tfie measure had received from most of the public departments—from the , Horse Guards, the Admiralty, the Post-office--and the strong opinions which had been expressed in its favour by the Board of Trade, led them to be• Here that the carrying out of the measure could not fail to prove of great public convenience. And whatever in railway communication was found to be of great public convenience was almost invari ably found to he also productive of pecuniary ad vantage to railway proprietors themselves. (Hear, hear.) Mr. S. SMILES, the secretary, read the heads of " A Bill for the making and maintaining of the London-bridge and Charing-cross Railway ; and for other purposes." The bill provided for the for. mation of ,'unctions with the South Eastern Rail- way near London-bridge, and with the London and South Western Railway near the Waterloo-road station. It authorised arrangemmts for the work ing use, and maintenance of the railway; the creation by the South Eastern Company of prefer ence shares to the extent of £300,600, being the amount of their subscription to the undertaking. Any deficiency in the preference dividend in any one year was not to be paid out of the profits of sub sequent years, and that stock would not affect the rights of the existing preference shares of the South-Eastern Compamy. The holding by the latter. company of shares in the London-bridge and Charing-cross Company was to be represented at meetings of the latter company by some person duly appointed bp the South-Eastern Company. Ihe CHAIRMAN .moved a formal resolution approving the bill. Mr. W. G. THOMSON seconded the motion. In reply to a question, it was stated that £300,000 was the total amount of obligation in respect of capital the South-Eastern Company was under at present to the new company. Mr. ADAMS would like to hear a list of the share holders in the Charing-cross Railway read to the meeting. The CHAIRMAN said it was not a meeting of the Charing-cross Company ; he could not, therefore, give him the names of the shareholders. Mr. HARTRIDGE wished to know whether the directors were satisfied of the sufficiency of the subscriptions to the Charing•cross Company. The CHAIRMAN said they were quite satisfied. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MACLAURIN believed that the company had nothing to do with the new company further than to subscribe £300,000. The CHAIRMAN said they had power to nominate four directors on the board of the new company to take care of the funds, and see that the money was properly expended. Mr. G. SMITH hoped the South Eastern Company would always have a control over the propose.i line. He thought that undertaking was one of the best and most judicious things the South Eastern Com pany ever did. The extension to Charing-cross would be a great convenience to the public, and he trusted that its construction would have a beneficial effect upon the value of their stock, which had been for a long time unduly depressed. He hoped they would all unite in giving a calm, deliberate, and unanimous vote in favour of the bill. After some observations approving the course adopted by the directors in respect of the proposed undertaking,. the resolution sanctioning the bill was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN said the next bill he had to sub mit was a bill authorizing the transfer of the Cater ham Railway , to the South Eastern Company. The line had got into the hands of its principal creditor, and the company were to give 5J15,200 for it, which Was about one-third of its cost. It would stand them in about £3,400 a mile, the line being about four and a half miles in length. There was not much traffic upon it at present, but it was improv- ing. The Secretary having read the heads of the bill, alformal resolution approving it was carried unani mously. The meeting was then made special to consider the propriety of authorizing the directors to exer-' cise the borrowing powers of the Strood and Maid stone Railway Act to the extent of -.E80;000. The CHAIRMAN said £363,900 had . been expended on the Strood and Maidstone line, i - helnding the £BO,OOO which was owing to the 'South Eastern Company , and which would be thus replaced. Mr. CAIRD, M.P., wished to know whether the directors held any of the stock of 'the East Fen' Company. The CHAIRMAN—Not one. Mr. CAIRD then adverted to the fall in the price of the shares, which he believed had arisen from the fear that they would be opposed in respect of their' over traffic. He thought that a 5 per cent. dividend would entitle their shares to a higher quotation in the market, unless there was some thing elSe that was not understood. He thought' their only security was in having a good under standing with other companies, accommodating the public, and thus obtaining a liberal return for the shareholders. It seemed to his most deal able they should come to ternis' with their opponents, tics' East Kent, and do so on xeasonable terms in good time. Mr. MACLAURIN thought theSe observations were quite out of season. The CHAIRMAN said the lion. gentleman was out of order. He had allowed Mr. Caird to proceed; as his observations were generally valuable, but if he had anything to suggest the directors would be happy to meet him. Mr. CAIRD thought he could suggest something with regard to increasing the traffic on the line by improving the accommodation to the public. Mr. KAY, a director, felt it necessary to make an observation in respect to the allusion by Mr. Caird to the East Kent Railway. It was not the time to talk of coming to terms with that company. Had he (Mr. Kay) known that Mr. Caird was going to introduce the subjeot, he would have been prepared with statistics and facts that would have convinced the meeting that this was not the time to deal with that company. The CHAIRMAN could assure the - meeting that in anything that . might arise the directors would only consider the interests of the South Eastern Com pany, Mr. CAIRD said he did not intend,to refer to the East Kent Company. Mr. BELL said_ they could not entertain any question but that for which the - meeting was spe cially convened. ' •• . The CHAIRMAN would be most thankful to Mr. Caird for any information lib 'could give'theM. The motion was then carried unanimensly,• arid a vote of thanks to the chairman and .directors concluded the proceedings. _HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION, BROMPT0.11: Yesterday the eighteenth annual general court of the governors of this valuable charity was held in tllb board room of the hospital, the Right Hon. Earl Manvers presiding ; and among those present were General the Hon. T. Ashburnham, the Hon. P. S. Pierrepont, the Rev. Sir H. Foulis Bart., General Bowling, &c. Previous to the assemblage of the court, divine service took place in the elegant chapel of the institution. The Hon. Secretary, Mr. F. ROSE, read the general and financial reports, which showed that during the latter part of last year the committee were thankful to report that they had been able, by an increase of the resources of the charity, to reopen the building to the full complement of in-patients. The number of in-patients who had been under treatment during the year ending December 31, 1858, including 116 remaining in the hospital in December, 1857, was 667, of whom 400 had been discharged greatly benefited, 98 had died, and 169 remained on the 31st December last. The gover nors were urged to consider the importance of using a prudent discrimination in the selection of cases for recommendation. The applications for admission were now more numerous than ever, and the number on the books waiting for admission on the 31st December last was no less than 120. Of 3,971 new out-patients who have beeen attended by the physicians and supplied with medicine through out the year, many have been in the habit of coming up from considerable distances in the country. At the last annual report, from the pressure of debt it was announced that one wing of the building would be closed, and admission to at least eighty beds sus pended, but it was great satisfaction to be now able to state that, owing to the receipt of additional funds, all the wards were fully opened in November last, and had still continued open. It was gratifying to state that while the dona tions had in 1827 been £3,472 75., they had in 1858 increased to £6,089 los. The church col lections had been £302 2s. 9d. ; the legacies were £1,624 13s. 3d., and in 1857 had not been more than £B6l 17s. ; and the general fund, which in 1857 had not exceeded £B,lOO ls. 6d., amounted last year to £11,725 7s. sd. The committee hope, from those continued memorials of interest (lega cies), to be able at no distant date to clear off the mortgage on the hospital property. In consequence of the improved state of the funds, a large portion of the building had been put into thorough repair. The committee felt entire satisfaction with the ability and energy which had been manifested by Mr. Henry :Dobbin, the secretary, in the discharge of his duties, and in his exertions to promote tn. interests of the charity. Thanks were due to the many friends of the institution for liberal aid, and foremost stood the munificent contribution of £5OO, the donor of which was known simply under the name of " Jane Mary." The clergy were also thanked for the valuable assistance already ren dered, as also for that promised. The committee urged continued co-operation from the friends of the hospital, and request visits, from a feeling of satisfaction that visitors would be impressed with the importance of the institution. It must be borne in mind that the hospital was unendowed, and that there was still a heavy charge on the property, and that a sum of no less than £B,OOO a year was required to keep the charity in working order, while but little more than £3,000 a year was de rived from annual subscriptions, thereby leaving about £5,000 a year to be annually provided for. The Chaplain's report, which was also read, and was evidently highly satisfactory, was, together with the foregoing, unanimously adopted. The general audit committee, &c., having been elected, an alteration was made in rule 18, giving privileges to clergymen for each sum of six guineas collected at sermons, was agreed to ; but a proposed alteration of rules 19 and 125 having reference to the admission of in-patients was withdrawn. After thanks to the medical officers, &c., as also to the noble chairman, the proceedings of the Court concluded.
