The ordinary half -yearly meeting of the London and North-Western Itsilway Company was held this day, at the Euston Sue ion. The Marquis of CHANDOS, chairman of the board of directors, presided. The noble CHAIRMAN, i n moving the adoption o f t h e report, referred to the diminution of the receipts of the past half year, which he attributed, i n a great measure, to the depression that had existed in the trade of the country for some time past, and to the Llllng off of the traffic in con sequence ef the closing of the Manchester Exhibition, and to the long and aggravating competition that had been car ried on with the Great Northern and other companies. The loss arising from the last circumstance could not be esti mated at less than £75,000 , but as that competition had ceased, it was to be hoped That tl e receipts of the com pany would recover. Whilst loss had been entailed en the North-Western, it was somewhat consolatory to find the', according to the half-yearly statements put forward by some of the opposing parties, no benefit had accrued to them. The combination that had been made to divert their Manchester traffic be thought fully justified the directors of the North-Western in the comae they had pursued. During the time the competition lasted it was fully expected that Parliament would interfere and put a stop to so ruinous a proceeding to both parties, and that they bad not done so, but had allowed the vast property of the shareholders to become the sport of others, was a matter of surp;ise to every person who felt an interest in the prosperity of railway property. The chairman then referred to the parliamentary pro ceedings of the company during the last session. The bill fur empowering the London and North-Western Company to enlarge the Victoria passenger station at Man chester, and to make other improvements, had received till sanction of the Legislature; bat the bill by which this com pany sought power to connect the Yorkshire lines with the main line by a short branch from Staleybridge to Denton and Longsight, had been lost id the House--; of Lords, after having successfully passed through all its stages in the lower house. The bill to authorise an arrangement with the Chester and Holyhead and London and North-Western Companies, and to amend the English and Irish postal and passenger acts, had alto received the approval of the Legislature, and it was confi dently expected that advantages of a ino , t important descrip tion wculd follow such a measure. With regard to the large claims said to be due by this company to the Sheffield Company, all the directors had to say upon that point was, that there Was simply no foundation for such an assertion. The branch from Watford to St. Albans, and a portion o f the third line f r o m L ou d on to Watford ' had been completed and opened to the public, and to Crewe and Shrewsbury, and that to Northampton and Market Harborough would, in a short time, also be opened, as they were quite complete. Having alluded to the conversion cf a pertiin of the borrowed capital of the company into debenture stock, the chairman concluded by moving the usual resolution, viz., the reception and adoption of the report. The motion, having been seconded, was, after some dis cussion, carried unanimously. A resolution sanctioning the payment of a dividendsof per cent. for the past half-year was also agreed to. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceed ings. THE PANAMA ROUTE TO AUSTRALIA w , The following memorial i s in course of signature by par ties connected with our dependencies in the Pacific : " To THE MIGHT HON. SIR E. BULWER LYTTON, BART., M.P., SECRETARY ()ESTATE FOR THE COLONIES, &C. "The memorial of the undersigned bankers, merchants, and others, inhabitants of, or otherwise interested in, the welfare of the colonies of New S ou th Wales, Moreton Bav, and New Zealand, " Sheweth-1. That your memorialists have suffered great inconvenience, and, in some instances, considerable loss, in consequence of the delays and irregularities which have hitherto attended the performance of the postal service between this country and,the Australian colonies. "2. That even with the present insufficient communica tion the mails are rapidly increasing in bulk and importance, whilst an amount of traffic is springing up which demon strates the profitable results that would arise from a postal service conducted with regularity and despatch. "3. That the increasing wealth and importance of the AuStralian colonies, and the rapid development of their resources, demand a more frequent postal communication than has hitherto been maintained with this country, and that for such purpose a fortnightly mail ought to be esta blished. " 4. That whilst in deference to the wishes of the southern and western colonies of the Australian group, the route by way of Suez should be maintained, the interests of the northern and eastern colonies demand that a new route by way of Panama should be established, the mails being conseyed alternately by either route, so that each portion of the whole group may share equally the great advantage derived from being made the point of first arrival and of last departure of the trails. "5. 'That the insufficiency of the postal service via Suez to the wants of the northern and eastern colonies is such that twice only in the time during which it has been in use have replies been received from Sydney by return of post; it is comparatively of little use to the district of Moreton Ray (shoat shortly to b.:: erected into a separate colony), which would receive its mails via Panama as soon as Mel bourne ;•and New Zealand, although willing to share the expense, can derive bat little advantage frmn the service. "6. That the feeling of the colonists of New South \Vales and New Zealand has already been clearly manifested, the Governments of both those colonies having unanimously voted a large sum to establish a mail service by the Panama route; the former £35,000 a-year, the latter £15,000. And this feeline has again been strongly expressed by the Legis lature of New South \Vales, as appears in recent accounts received from that colony. " 7. That whilst your mcmorialistS believe that the Sucz route ought to be maintained as having the incidental ad vautage of keeping open the intercourse between Australia and the British dependencies in the East, the Panama rouse presents still more important incidental advantages as open ing the catnniunication with the British colonies in North America, the West India Islands, and the newly discovered gold fields on the north-west coast, as well as with the United States and wi:11 the coast'of South America, between which and the Australian colonies commercial relations of great itnaortance already exist. " 8. That the importance of the Panama route is im mensely enhanced by the completion of telegraphic cotn inunication with America, by which intelligence may be conveyed between the Australian colonies and England in about JO days. " 9. That' upon every consideration, whether of com mercial or political convenience, the maintenance of a double line of postal service is of the highest importance as a provision against those contigencies to which a single line will always be more or less exposed. "And your memcrialists earnestly hope Hutt their petition may be taken into the favourable consideration of her Majesty's Government. MURDER AND ROBBERY AT ACTON. A cruel murder has been perpetrated on the highway, close on the outskirts of the metropolis, four miles on the Acton-road, upon the person of Mr. Edward John Gates, a builder, residing for a number of years at No. 12, Great James-street, Lisson-grove, Paddington. The first intima tion:of the occurrence was made by Sergeant Mansell, of the T division. It appears that about 10 minutes to 12 o'clock on Monday night last he was going his usual nightly rounds, when, between Acton and Shepherd's-bush, he met a man named Henry George, groom to Mr. Helford, of Acton, who called his attention to a man lying in the road, appa rently insensible or dead. The police sergeant proceeded to the spot and found the deceased in the road about three yards from the pathway; be was lying on his back; his face was frightfully disfigured and covered with blood. He was quite dead. A quantity of blood was lying on the road beside him. His clothes were in a disordered state. Mansell, the police -sergeant, with the assistance of George, the groom, got him upon the path, and then proceeded to the station at Acton to give information of the discovery he had made, when a cart was obtained, and the body of the unfortunate man removed to the dead-house at Acton. The superintendent of the T division, being apprised of the cir cums'ance, sent for Mr. H. B. Lingham, a surgeon in the town, upon whose arrival the body of the deceased was stripped, when it was discovered that a foul murder had been committed. The vest, shirt, and drawers were saturated with blood, proceeding from two stab wounds on the right side, close to the heart. The most material wound was iodi e cated by a large puncture, f :om w hi c h quar t s of blood had flowed. The other wound, mo r e in f ron t, below the chest, was not of such vital importance, although that bledc t ope: ously. Mr. Lin g h am , th e surgeon , h av ing receivedi mort autho rity rity from Mr. W a kl e y, the coroner, made a pas examination of the body, when he found that the stab i in the right side bad entered the body nearly seven inches, com pletely perforating the heart, and causing, as a matter of course, instantaneous death. The other wound, below the collar bone, and of a minor description, had not entered any depth, and was in no way connected with death. The fea tures of the unfortunate deceased were frightfully muti lated, evidently by severe blows—indeed, to so great an ex tent that his eldest son could scarcely identify his unhappy parent. At the inquest, which was held yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, at the King's Head Inn, Acton, before Mr. Wakley, coroner for West Middlesex, aud a highly-resp ec t a bl e jury, the superintendent of the Tdivieion of police saidetrhpeautrtamtoois.st exertions bad been used to bring to justice the p of the mur d e r, but up to the present time no clue had been obtained to them. In answer to questions from the coroner Sergeant Man. sell sa id th a t when the body of the deceased was removed to a the station three -h his person was caref u ll y searched, but no watch, nd only alfpence were found upon him. The de ceased had been for years well known in Act on, Ealing, and the sarrounding districts. For some months past he had been engaged in exten s i ve works at Mr. Reeves's, horticul tural florist, of Acton Bottom. He had a number of men under him at Mr. Reeves's. On the opening of the inquest a number of the deceased's relatives were in attendance. Several of the county wagis tra,tes and parochial authorities were present, and also a number of the gentry residing in and about the village. Mr. Edward Gat,•.s, the ddest son of deceased, said his father left benne at Paddingtou 6 o'elock on Monday morning la s t i n hi s usual health.at He (deceased) was pro ceeding t r Mr. Reeves's, as. Ac on Bottom. In answer to questions from the Coroner and jury, the witness said his Ether had his watch and some pounds in money when be left goers. Be was of sober habits anti highly respected. The Coroner said there was no doubt that the deceased had come to his death by violence. He should adjourn the and at the same time direct that every poesible exertion be used by the p lice to discover any persons who might he iinplica'ed in tile :Latter. In answer to questions from the jury, Mr. Lingbarn, the surgeon, said than the wound which had perforated the heart might have been done by a sword- s ick ; the wounds on the head and flu were the result of blows from a stick, or some or her wea:ron. The nose was broken, and one of the eye" nearly destroyed. The hands of tile &ceased were also se fieli' injured, causel possibly by his resistance to the trtaele g made upon him. -• • The son of t' , e deceased, who was deeply affected, said he Wa3 quite sure his unfortunaie father had been roblud ar.d mord , red. lie might have had a large sum &Jou , hitn, which if seen by bad characters would cause the att , eck upon him. The Coroner directed the police to be active in ob!ainiutz all the evidence they could before the next MN tiag, which was fixed far six o'clock next Tuesday, the 17th inst.

The Coastguard men of the district, with the officers of the various stations, were drawn up on the depot under the command of Captain Luckcraft, It N., and were inspected by their lordships immediately on landing. The inspection of the breakwater works, convict quarries, and Verne-hill works, &c., occupied their lordships during the remainder r f the day. During the month ofJuly there arrived at Falmouth, ir respective of the regular coasting trade, no less than 340 vessels from foreign parts for discharge or ulterior destina tion, embracing as per following summary 24 different flags,—viz. ;—Enalish, 129; Sardinian, 32; Austrian, 21 ; Norwegian, 19; French, 15; Swedish, 14; Dutch, 12; Danish, 11; Oldenburg, 11 ; Spanish, 11 ; Bremen, 10 ; Prussian, 9; Mecklenburg, 8; American, 7; Russian, 6; Neapolitan, 6; Hanoverian, 5; Hamburg, 3 ; Rostock, 3 ; Portuguese, 2; Belgian, 2; Genoese, 2; Tuscan, 1 ; Lubeck, 1 ; total, 340. The aggre , ate register tonnage of the above vessels amounted to 86.856 tons. It is remark able that not one Greek vessel is included in the list of arrivals. The Great Tasmania freightship sailed vesterdsy after neon from Spithead for the Mauritius. The Royal Sovereign, 131, new screw threedecker, was taken out of Portsmouth Harbour to Stokes Bay, yesterday, by Captain Gordon and the stair of the steam reserve, to try her speed, which, after the usual runs up and down the me , sured course with and against the tide, averaged a mean of 121 knots per hour. She was not masted. The Trafalgar, 120, line-of bLt tie sailing ship, was yester day towed up from Sheerness to Chtltham, and anchored off Folly Point. She is to be taken into the fourth dock at Chatham Dockyard for the purpose of being cut down, the Lords of the Admiralty, on their recent inspection having ordered her to be converted into a 90-gun screw steamer, and to be fitted with engines of 500-horse power. The Amphion, 36-gun screw steam frigate, George S. Thunder, chief engineer, is ordered to be taken into dock at Chatham for the purpose of undergoing a thorough repair, and afterwards to be fi ted for the steam reserve. The Ithaciamanthus steam shore transport, Mr. Sturdee, master in command, left Woolwich yesterday, laden witzt machinery for the Imrnortalite, the Lion, and Orlando, in the western yarJs. At Plymouth the Rhadanianthus will ship, and sail for Pembroke, with the sails, gear, and crew intended for the 116-gun ship Windsor Castle, to be launched on the 2Gth inst. The experimental screw steam corvette Challenger, launched at Woolwich in February last, is completed in the factory department, and was on Tuesday removed from the basin to No. 3 dock to be coppered, after which she Is to be conveyed to Sheerness to be laid up in the second-class steam reserve. The Humane Society of Dunkirk last week terminated and launched a lifeboat, built on the principle of the Roy.il National Lifeboat Institution of Great Britain, after the design of Mr. James Peake, Assistant-blaster Shipwzieht of Her Majesty's Dockyard, Woolwich, and fitted on Mr. Beeching's plan. The committee conducting the effairs of the society having solicited Mr. Peake's inspection of their boat prior to its being applied to its destined purpose, he proceeded to Dunkirk on the ‘2,d of July, and discovered that the water had penetrated into the air cases, and under the deck, and that the cork was saturated with water, which circumstances would ;end to a rapid decay of the boat. The deck was consequently removed, the inside of the boat cleared, a watertight deck fitted, with ball, valves, &c., solid chocks fixed for the relieving tubes, and the upper sides of the end cases flattened with cork. The above-named alterations occupied three weeks, when the boat was launched over the pier into the sea 10 feet below, and was submerged. She instantly righted, and relieved herself of the whole of the water in a very few seconds, to the great gratification and no small amazement of a crowd of spectators who had col lected to witness the event. Mr. Peake remained in Dun kirk until the boat was finally completed. At the conclusion of dinner at the principal hotel, the chairman of the com mittee presented to Mr. Peake a large silver medal, in tes timony of their satisfaction, and as an acknowledgment of his courteous and efficient assistance. ATTEMPT TO L4UNCH THE STEAMER MERSEY. The attempt to launch the fine screw steamer Mersey, 40 Buns, which was made at Chatham Dockyard yesterday afternoon, resulted, we regret to say, in a total failure, as the huge vessel obstinately refused to leave the slip on which she has been constructed. The Mersey is longer than any line-of-battle-ship in the Britis:a nary, and is a truly noble specimen of naval architecture, in which science has of late years made such rapid strides. Her construction reflects the highest credit on Mr. P. J. Laire, the master shipwright at Chatham, and Messrs. Henwood and Fincham, his assistants, under whose super intendence she has been built. She is a sister ship to the Orlando, 50, screw steamer, recei.tly launched at Pembroke Dockyard, and the second of the immense screw frigates which the late Lords of the Admiralty ordered to be laid down to compete with the large war steamers which have been constructed for the navy of the United States. The Mersey has been an astonishingly short time in building, having only been commenced in the early part of list year. She is built from the desiens of Rear-Admiral Sir Baldwin NV. Walker, K.C.8., Surveyor of the Navy, who has taken much interest in her progre , s. In order to accommodate her the slip on which she was built had to be lengthened con siderably, none of the other slips at Chatham Dockyard being long enough to receive her. She is half the length of the Great Eastern, and the following figures will give some idea of her immense size : Extreme length Length between perpendiculars Length of keel fur tonnage 264 5.75 Extreme breadth Breadth for tonnage Breadth moulded 5O 8 Depth of hold Burden in tons, 3,726 70-94ths. The total length of her engine space is 133 feet, and she will be fitted:with machinery 41,000 horse-power. About 100 tons of her machinery are at present on board. The launch was fixed to take place at a quarter after two o'clock, at which time there were several thousand spec tators present, who crowded the galleries and every avail able spat from which a view of the vessel could be obtained. At half-past two Miss Nicholson, the daughter of Mr. W. H. Nicholson, Rochester, was conducted to the head of the vessel by Mr. Laire, and that young lady performed the ceremony of " christ e nin g " th e M er sey. Immediately aftrwards the last dog- s h ore was k noc k e d away, but to the i surprise of the officials connected with the dockyard the huge vessel give co si g ns o f mov ing down the" ways" into the Midway. Mr. Lairs, who appeared very anxious for the launching of the vessel, immediately gave orders for. , he ship to he eased by splitting the large blocks which in a measure stayed her, and this °pet anon,. which occupied nearly an hour, was coinple!ed ; still the Mersey, with Leviathan-like obstinacy, refused to move the sixteenth part of an inch. Matters were now bec.ln!ng serious, as the tide was ebbing fast, and in si very short time it avoid ha ve been attended with great risk and damage to launch her at all. A large number of shipwright?, under the direction of Mr. Laire and Mr. Fincltam, were then employed to tirive wet!ges bc:reatli the vessel iu eider to start her, at the s ame time the foreblock was knocked sway. N every attempt on the part of a larga_body of step .h as ri ship could not ha ind .ced to !ewe the stocks, although every block had been removed and pone: ful screws applied to move her. Alter working for about two hours Mr. Loire ordered the shipwrights to shore the vessel up again, and she now remains firm ON the stock/. With regard to the failure in the attempt to hunch the Mersey—the first which has been known to occur to any vessel at Chatham Dockyard far a grezt numb er o f years— it is believed to occur from the sinking of th e ground at the head of the slip on which the Mersey is bei.t, w hi c h has carried the " ways" !town withit and destroyed the incline. There is no doubt this supposition is coirect, as the slip is quite new, the Mersey bring- only the second vesgul built on it; and although every p - ee tula3 Was silken by Messrs. LITERATURE. POLICE INTELLIGENCE -(THIS DAY.) B OW - STREET.—ALLEGED MISTAKEN IDENTITY.—. A man, who said his name was Henry Rogers, was placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, charged with being a deserter from her Majesty's .55th Regiment of Foot. The recruiting sergeant said, last night he was in Charles, street, Westminster, and about half-past nine be met the prisoner. He went up to him, and having convinced him, self that he was a person he had been looking for soma time, asked him if his name was not Jones, and whether he was not a deserter from the 55th Foot. The prisoner denied being so, and said he had never been in the army, and that his name was Rogers. A private of the regiment hapeink to be near at the ti me, b e was called to see whether he eo n uld identify him, and be immediately did so, and said he enlisted last February. Mr. Henry asked the prisoner what he had to say to the charge of desertion? The prisoner said the sergeant and the other soldier were m'staken in saying he was a person who had enlisted into the army. He had never done so. He had a wife and three children, which of itself would be sufficient to deter atau I•om doing so; but independently of that, he was t 3 years of age, and had for years been subject to palpitation of tha heart to such an extent that no military doctor would pass him. In answer to further questions from Mr. Henry, the ser geant said be bad no doubt about the man. Mr. Henry said, under these circumstances he must send him to the House of Detention until he was taken to the depot. If, as the prisoner stated, he was not a deserter he would have full opportunity of producing witnesses to bear out his assertion before the military authorities.

He accused her of the robbery anal held her until a policeman came up, when he gave her is charge. The watch had not been found. Mr. Henry said it was very imprudent, to say the least of it; to speak to women at such an hour In the park.

By Charles Witt, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons. Philip and Son, 32, Fleet -street. The unusual prevalence of scarlet fever, in all its forms, during the past year, must incline the public to listen favourably to any new and successful sys tem of treating such a dangerous enemy. The pamphlet before us is addressed to John Simon, Esq., F.R.S., the medical officer of the General Board of Health, and it strongly upholds a very simple mode of cure, which it asserts has never failed. The remedy consists solely of repeated (loses of the bi-carbonate of ammonia, combined, of course, with the ordinary precautions of avoiding chills, draughts, and also any acid drinks. This treatment, especially if commenced early in the disease, is said to effect a speedy cure, and the authority of several medical men, and numerous cases of cure, are adduced in support. The system is not a new one, as it is (more than fifty years since Dr. Peart published a treatise on Malignant Scarlet Fever and Sore Throat, in which he described the wonderful effects of the subcarbonate of ammonia ; asserting that, IL like other practitioners, he was continually lament ing the loss of his patients by that dreadful malady ; till he employed the subcarbonate of ammonia in the manner he describes ; and from that moment he did not lose one patient out of nearly three hundred." It is impossible for unprofessional readers to decide upon the merits of a Particular specific ; but there can be no doubt that a system so strongly upheld by respectable practitioners and suported b evidence, deserves the immediate and careful consid y eration of medical men, who should avoid the hasty rejection of a remedy because it is little known and simple in its nature. We trust the faculty will turn their at. tention to the suggestions of . this pamphlet, whi c h may be the means of saving many valuable lives, and reducing the large amount of suffering caused by this terrible disease.
