"Dear Sir,—As friends and acquaintances amongst whom you have long lived and laboured, who have bad ample opportunities of observing your character, and of witnessing your self-denying efforts to do good, we have united for the purpose of presenting you with a substantial mark of our esteem, and of our high appreciation of your novel and most successful attempts to provide and suggest attractive and elevating entertainments for scholars in Ragged Schools. We cannot, dear sir, be insensible to the large amount of self-imposed toil to which, in addition to your business engagements, you have thus subjected your self, in order to prepare those artistic scenes and sketches, so well calculated to catch the eye and fix the attention of the young; nor can we fail to admire the talent which gives life to those scenes by narratives and ee tcriptions, and deduces lessons at once thrilling the mind, and calling into action the better feelings of our nature. But most of all we rejoice in the conviction that in all your pur poses and plans, it is your noble and exclusive aim, by the bleasing of Almighty God, to do what you can to rescue tomeof the myriads of outoutcast juvenile population from the pestilential influences of low and vicious places of amusement, and to show how pleasure and profit may be combined, thus convincing all that religion never was designed to make our pleasures less.' Accept then, dear sir, the accompanying time-piece, together with the purse containing 100 sovereigns, as a memorial to yourself and your family of our hearty appreciation of your philanthro pic efforts, ant as an expression of our earnest hope that your life may long be spared, that the lu:tre of your good name may never be tarnished, that the bPssing of them that are ready to perish may still come upon you, and that at last, having served your generation by the will of God, you may go hence to be included amongst those to whom will be addressed the great Master's commendatory words, Becalm ye have done it unto these little ones, ye have done it unto me (Signed) " SHAFTESBURY, "Chairman of the Committee, on behalf of the general body of the subscribers." The reading of this address was frequ-ntly inter rupt2d by hearty applause. At its clove the time piece which formed part of the testinionial was un covered, and testified by its appearance to the good taste of those who were concerned iu its production and its choice. It bore the, following inscription :- 4 '. On the 24th day of March, 1858, the Right Hon. the Earl of Shaftesbury presented this Time-piece and a Purse containing 100 sovereigns, to Mr. W. H. Miller, as a me morial from his friend and neighbours of their high appre ciation of his efforts to instruct the outcast juvenile popu lation, through the medium of moral and intellectual en tertainments, expressly designed and prepared by him for Ragged Schools." i6i 100 1.00 'Do.

Addressing Mr. Miller, his lo (Is lip said that a body of his friends had as•iigued to him (the chairman) the office of giving effect and reality to the apirit of the beautiful addrtas which had just been read, and to a-k him to accept of some substantial proof of the value in which they held his services in the cause in which he had so zeal ously and happily engaged. It has been said that the man - vho made two blades of grass grow where only one had grown before, deserved the gratitude of society. What then was due to the man who had grafted on the stock of ignorance the precious fruits of knowledge and religion ? (Applause.) Mr. Miller had solved a great problem. and was entitled to take rank with many ethtrs as one of the benefactors of the human race. (Renewed. applause.) He therefore asked Mr. Miller to ac cept this testimonial as a token of their approba tion of his talents, and of the mode in which he ap plied them. Mr. Miller had recognized in human nature that faculty of admiration—a faculty must Powerful in its influence, whether for good or evil. Mr. Miller would, therefore, accept this testi monial as a token of their admiration of his talents and character, and also as an expression of their gratitude. It was true that Mr. Miller had only done his duty in the sight of God ; but still those who knew him could not but be grateful to him, as to a fellow-creature whose talents had been governed by Christian principles and reduced to Christian . practice. (Loud applause.) He (the chairman) knew that he spake the sentiments of all now pre sent, when he invoked the blessing of God on Mr. Miller, with a wish that he might be blessed in his work, that his days might be prolonged, and that he might come to his grave like a shock of corn in full season—and might there be written on. his tombstone, the lines which had honoured one who was also a teacher of men through men mediu m of pictures presented to the eye.

To asceitain the amount of injury it was deemed necessary to relieve the entice outer coating, which was found to be consi derably affect ?cl wi!la the destructive " rot." On proceeding to a close survey of the principal beams, and testing every fOnt of timber bearing the slightest evidence of decay, a report was for warded to the Lords of the Admiralty, stating that toe sum required to render her seaworthy would amount to 16,000/. Many of her timbers, on the application of the hammer, crumbled into dust.

There are still three or four unsettled cases ; but the directors do not auticipae that the amount to be pail will be large, the heavy claims having ben already dis posed of. The whole c :st of repairing the compound rails by fish jointed T rails has been carried this half year to the debit of revenue, to the extent of 21,897/. A further unusual amount is also carried to the bebit of revenue this half-year, 6, 387/. , being so much traffic receipts overstated for the half-year ending the 31st July, 1856. Those three items together amount to 58,7371., after deducting which, together with the charges proper to the half year for interest on Government loan and on the company's bonds, the balance of net revenue amounts to 103,654/., out of which the directors re:zonamend the payment of a dividend for the half -year at the rate of 54 per cent, per annum, wich will absorb 92,4461., and leave a surplus of 11,208/. for the ensuing half year. TEE CA.GLIARI ENGINEERS. PARIS AND ORLEANS. The annual general meeting. of this company was held on Tuesday i❑ Paris, M. B4r(holorty in the chair. Mr. W. Gladstone and Mr J. D. Barry, tht, two English directors, were present. (From the Daily News.) Watt has been restored to this country. Park has been liberated conditionally, and wilt soon, no doub-, be liberated absolute'y. When it is con. sidereal that during ten months of Palmerston and Clarendon thee men languished in prison with out a single effort being male for their liberation, the speedy results that have followed the more energetic interven' ion of the present Ministry are no doubt calcal ated to create mixed feelings ref satisfaction and humiliation. As far as these two unfortunate Englishmen are concerned, there is a .•ox*kck;rn .1. 8 -0 ...f ...bi,f-....ti5,,.• ;,, icflut..,Llng ttrat, LII , y have at length been released from an intolerable burden of uej tiA punishment and unmeri , cd suffer inee As far as England is concerned, it is to the laa degree humiliating to know that this libera tion has not been effected till one of the sufferers has lost his reason and both their health ; that it has not been effected till the whole European world has been astounded at our strange long suffering ; and that it has at last been conceded as an act of grace, not paid as a debt of justice. It is of the last importance that the international view of this question should not be lo=t sight of. It would ill comport with the high hearing for which England in her dealings with foreign States was once so lion 'trebly proverbial, it would be tray an entire forgetfulness of what is due to the just demands of national self respect, if the English people or t he Eng:ish Go vent ment were fora moment to treat the res' orat on of Watt and the qualified liberation of Park, as a sufficient atonement for the indignity which, iu their persens, has been offered to their country. Our ease against the Govern ment of the Two Sicilies is, that these two English men were seized without a shadow of right, and imprisoned for ten m nths iu clear violation of international law. To suppose that such a case as this is to be adequately answered by sending one of the man home, after he has been driven mad by ill-treatment, and liberating the other, because his healeh is so far undermined that hi s e would be jeopardised by farther immisonment—is a pitiful co ;ceit unwor by even of Lord Clarendon. Even as far as the sufferers themselves are concerned, it is plain, on the very face of the metier, that their claim for reparation is irresistible. Mere liberation, with shattered health, impaired intellect and ruined prospects, from a cruel and unjust imprisonment, an never be accepte d by the released prisoners themselves as an expiation of original wrong and protracted outrage. Some substantial compensa tion is the very least that ought to be demanded in a case in which no compensation can be an equiva lent for the wrong. Bus if tii is be so as between these prisoners and the IN eapslitau Government, how much more strongly is it the case as between the Crown of England and the Crown of the Two Sicilies -? Wring has ben committed; insult has been offered; repa, anion must be demanded and obtained. From first to last the imprisonment of these two men has been as wrongful as it has been merciless. Is it a sufficient acknow ledgement of that protracted wrong and that studied contumely, simply to unbar the prison doors, which ought never to have been closed, to terminate a confinement which ought never to have commenced, and to release these two Englishmen, after their ten months' captivity, without a single expression of regret, a single promise of reparation, or the faintest semblance of an apology ? We rather fancy that the Tudor Queen and the Puritan Pro tec-or would have known how to rej , ct and resent such an insolent act of condescensioo as th s. Do our readers remember the story of Cromwell, Car dinal Mazarin, and the Quaker ? In these days of diplomatic deference to despots it may really be as well to recall it. The vessel and cargo of a Quaker merchant (there being no war between France and this countrs ) had been wrongfully seized by a French cruiser. The Quaker complained to the Protector, and the Protector represented the matter to Maza rin. Mazarin, after procrastinating as long as he could, finally declined to interfere. Upon this his Highness instantly caused seizure to be made of three French vessels, then in English poets, had their proceeds sold, paid the Quaker the full amount of his claim, and then directed his Latin Secretarsr o , eiren:ents„i jet e Mr. Milton, to inform the Cardinal that Li t c h i, balance was held at the disposal of the ce F o r d e ivg, Treasury. This very " unawiable" P we are told, was attended by the be d i t : it not only procured compel satin for s 0f a similar wrong, but ;prevented other kind from being attempted in wttTrieg the present ease, There is an especial roar' s diplomacy should 13.3 in dealing with King why the Cromwell styileov Gla o r t en w ", afone who are interes'ed preferred to the cagliari seizure.

Out of this sum 9,000,000 f. (360,0001.) were paid on the first of October, 1857, at the rate of 36f. per share, and it was proposed to . pay a further sum to the shareholders of 60f. per share, or 18,000,000 f. (720,0001.) on the Ist of April, having a balance of 122,944 f, (4,9181.) for the 'next account. The dividend for the year amounted to 90f. per share of 500 f., being atthe rate of 18 per cent per annum. Formal resolutioni adopting the report and de claring the dividend were pmsed, and the meet tiug separated. 1 tardy concession, wrung from far and craft, not justice, as a full satisfaction of our demands ? Are we to waive all claim to apology and reparation, and be very thankful that it has graciously pleased his Majesty of the Two Sicilies to forego, out of his savereign will and pleasure, the luxury of continuing to infli c t th e mor t a l pains of Neapolitan incarceration on two Engli-.hm en whom he never bad a shade of right t't detain, in durance for a moment? If we allow our selves to assume such an attitude as this, to evade a common prosecution with Sardinia, of the claims of international justice, bectuo.e we have been insulted by the parade of royal c!enlency —then indeed we shall have bsen rather losers than gainers in the world's estimation and our own self respect by the restontiun of Watt and the release of Park. But we will not anticipate such a con ' summation as this. It is fair to credit with some thing nobler and manlier than this a Ministry who, in this matter of the Cagliari, if they have not d one in tic!), have yet accomplished more in one month t i an my Lords Palmerston aril Clarendon achieved in ten. PRESERvATIoN OF LIFE FROM SEIIP IV I?ECK. e chair. We also observed Yesterday a meeting of the Royal National Life-boat Institution was held at its . house, John -street, Adelphi, Captain Lambert Perrett t h present Admiral Sir Thomas II rb-rt, g.c l3 ; Admir a l Bullock; Ahx.

Hall, R.N., C.R., F.R.S.; Captain Eizerton R.N.; and Captain Ward, R.N., Inspector of Life-ibea4 to the society. e Secretary (Mr. Lewis) having real the minutes of the previous meeting. A reward of 61. was voted to the crew of the Institu tion's tubular life-boat stationed at Rhyl, in considera tion of their laudable conduct in .putting off in the life boat arid rtscuing, during a gale of wind, three fisher men from the sloop James Holmes of Douglas. The fishermen had boarded the sloop after she had been abandoned by her crew. They had nut, however, been long there before they made signals of distress. The chain had given way, and they were compelled to take to the rigging. It was now blowing a terrific gale, and the vessel was thrown on her beam-ends, and the poor crea tures were only rescued from an appalling death a fe w minutes before the t.loop was in a thousand pieces. A reward of 191. ss. was also voted to the crew of tire Loweztolt boat, which is likewise in connection with the National Lite-boat Institution, for their praiseworthy conduct in rescuing, during a hurricai,e, tLe crew of five men from the sloop Orwell, of Arbroath, which was wrecked on the Newcome Sands on the 17th ult. Imme diately on the return of the life-boat with the men of the shipwrecked vessel, she again put off with her gallant crew to the assistance of another vessel which was seen on the sands, but which had fortunately been driven over them, and therefore did not want the help of the life-boat. A reward of 141. was likewise granted to the crew of the same life-boat, for rescuing 12 men from the brig Oewy, of Shoreham, which was during a heavy gale of wind wrecked off the Gorton Sands. Rewards amounting t 3 45/. were also voted to the crews of the lifeboats cf the institution stationed at Ilarpley, Pakefiehl, and Lytham, and other life-boats, for putting off with a view of reuderiog assistance to ships in distress. A reward of 31. was voted to a boat's crew for rescuing seven from a boat belonging to the brig Rose Macroon, of Waterford, which during a gale of wind had sunk eight or nine miles off Great Saltee Island. The poor sailors, who had been for many hours driving in their frail boat before the wind, were found to be quite ex hausted when rescued. A reward of 61. 10i. was also voted to the crew of the Mundesley life-boat, for putting off with the view of ren dering assistance to the crew of the schooner Jane, of Ipswich ; but no sooner bad the boat been launched than the spar to which the poor sailors were clinging went down. A few minutes previously the shrieks of the poor sufferers were distinctly heard. The vessel was quite unseaworthy. Had she bcen stronger built the crew might easily have been rescued. A reward of 101. was likewise voted to a yawl's cr€w, f ir putting off with the view of rendering assist-ince to the crew of the brig Quicksilver, which had been in collision with another ve ski, and was seen in a sinking conditien off Winterton. When the yawl approached her, however, it was found that no one was on board, her crew, it was supposed, havi ng be en t a k en on b ear d the vessel she had been in collision with. Toe thanks of the Institution, inscribed on vellum, acre also presented to Mr. John Block, of the Grange far o, Isle of Wight, in testimony of h a highly merito rious -rvices n as's lug. by wsdirg into the surf, to rescue 15 per.ons from the brig Tornersrin, cf Portugal, which, during a gale of wind, was wrecked off Atber field. The other men who had assisted in the crew had received pecuniary grants from local subscriptions. A ra ward of 51. was also voted to two boats' crew for put ing off and re , cuing the crew of the barque Eclipse, of Yarmouth, svich, (luring a gale of wind, was wrecked •ff Shetland. Also 31. to three men for pot ng off in a boat and resouin., at the risk of their lives, three persona who had cap , ,iz-d from their boat on the c , a4 of Sher hurl d ui l og a gale of wind. A poor woman who was is tle boat perishe i on the occasion. The 111Oelfra on the Anglesey coast, which belongs to the National Life- ;oat Institution, had res card the fiat Hannah and her crew from imminent dan ger oil the 6th uli. The weather was at the time very severe. tolowiro. dead .n r siad tbo Grow perfectly ht-ljesS from cold and long exposure. Besides great gal lantry ant labour, much skill was displayed in getting the vessel off from her dangerous position. the life-boat's crew spoke very highly of the behaviour of the life boat. It wa , r ported that the society's life boat stationed at Waluter, had recently put ~ ff to a ship that was seen on the Goodwsn Sands. It was found however on approach ing the vessel that no one was el hoard. Thisisanother lamentable idustration of the abs olute necessity for one o` h , r Maje'ty's small steamers being constantly kept, with her fires banked up in the Do wns, with one or two life-boats attached to her. The steamer might also be ready to tow life-boats out to the vicinity of the Good win. We have often urged the adoption of some such p'an ; and the National Lift-boat Institution, seconded by the large mercantile and other bodies of the City have a-1, 2[11 4, 1 i il,sed the late B lard of Admiralty on this itnpor t.tnt and national subject ; but their appeal was not re garded. W 0 trust, how ever, that the , übject, which is perfectly practicable, will again be revived, and that it Kill receiva more at.tention from the present Board than the late one. Some huedreds of our fellow creatnres every year peri-h on these dangerous outlying sands be fore any human aid can possibly reach them fr)rn the shore, as in the case above recorded ; and it is full time that s 'melting should be done to lessen this dreadful waste of human life, and the incalculable misery result ing from it amongst the widows and orphans of the drowned. The Portmadoc which belongs to the institu tion, wa said to have rendered important services to the steamer Plynlynnon, which was recently in a dangerous position off Portmailoc. The life-boat remained by tus steamer a day and night, at the ri-k of being stove to pieces. Ultimately, however, the steamer was got off and proceeced o her voyage. Agreeably to the strict orders of the institution, its lift-boats are never to en courage crews to leA% e unneces ,, ary their ships, and thus it not unfrequently baopens that, through the ihs' rurnen• taity of the valr.:.ble ships and cargoes are saved from destmc Durinz the past month the society bad sent new life boats to - Pilling, in N, rtolk ; Ardmore, in Ireland ; and to Dover, and two others are about to be sent to Hastings and 13,igiton It was also stated that tLe Messrs. For rest, the life-boat builders, were now building several boats on the plan of I,ho, e no. adopt, d by the institution for several of our C ‘lonial Guvernmviits, and that two boats had r , c-ntl% been despa ched by them to Aus tralia. institu ton furid-1, s ~orking drawings on a large scale of its life-boats, for dii.ribution in our colonies awl in f,,reign countries. The benevolent donor of the cost of a life-boat to the institution had requested that it might be named the llAvelock. As a means of rescue fr..m danger, the name appeared to be appropriate ; and he was desirous that the name of that Christ;ao should be cherished on the Scotch coat, where the lif—boat is to be placed. Upwards of 1,3001. was ordered to be paid for various life-boats and transporting carriages.

Extract of a letter from a •young medical officer from New r y :___. " ' Ave, C am p on the Shore, twelve miles from Triecomili-e, Ceylon, Feb. 23, 1858. "We started from Cilcutta on the 10th of this month, having on board a more than usual numb , r of passengers, principally ladies and woundt d offi cers from Lucknow. The passengers, the ladies especially, were inclined to make themselves very agi eeable and everything promised a delightful trip. At Madras we got in some Lovernmeut treasure, with orders to land it at Trincomalee, a port b:.- tween Madras - and Galle, and one which these steamers do not go to except sent by Government. All went on most sezoothly, and we were looking forward to the pleasure of seeing a new place, and spending a little time there, when, on the evening of the 16th inst., at eight o'clock, as I was sitting quietly in the saloon, talking to one of the ladies from Lucknow, I heard orders from on deck to stop the ship and turn the helm, so as to direct her out to sea, and this next moment crash went the bottom of the yee3el ou a reek. The land had been in sight during the afternoon, but no one thought of it being so close as to endattger the ship, as we were going straight on, full speed. All the boats were at once lowered, and the ladies and children first and then the gentlemen put into them. ' An officer was put in each boat, and sufficient of the ship's hands to manage them, the remainder, with the captain, first and fourth officers, the purser, the engineers, and myself remained on board. We could see that it was too rough to land the pas sengers with any safety , as the waves were breaking on the coast with great violence; so the boats ° merely moved off a little, and remained till day light. In ten minutes the decks on which the cabins are was covered with water, the bow of the ship was stuck fast on the rook, and the stern conse quently tilted up out of the water altogether, and thus she struck. The strain was so great that the captain thought every m o ment she would break in and d o ; qu h i e e w tl e y ve a r s , Was wrong. Two large and strong rafts were c on struc'ed to hold all the crew, and those of us who remained aboard. If the ship broke in two, we ha d , besides, life buoys for those who coal net swim, all being prepared for the worst. "The crew commenced getting the specie out of if nothing work was carr i e d on as coo lly the h l.il, which was already flooded. There were on board 510 packages of treasure, each cont lining 5001. in silver. The salo:in cabins were still to be got at, but although they were known to contain Tbesides a quantity of ables, n o one liked to leave P ss ale el should p a rt asund r. At jewellerym th ost d eck laeislta important tohteh eivir valuables,. 1 midnight the straining was so great that two of the masts gave way, and fell over the side. The ship herself held on, however, thank God ; for had she broken, our risk would have been great indeed, as WATERFORD AND TRAMORE. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Tuesday at Dublin, Sir James Dombrain in the chair. After some discussion the report was adopted, and the dividend declared. IRISH SOUTH-EASTERN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Wednesday, in Dublin ; Mr. J. E. Red.- mond in the chair. Mr. W. W. HUGHES, the secretary, read the report, which state 1 that the works of the first di vision of the Bageualstown and Wexford Railway have progressed in a satisfactory manner during the past six months, and the directors of that com pany calculate on opening their line to Burris in the course of the summer. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Sir J. DOMBRAIN, the report was adopted, and the dividend of 4s. 6d. per share, subject to income tax, was declared. The retiring directors and auditors were re elected, and the meeting separated. BA.GENALSTOWN AND WEXFORD. The half yearly meeting of this company was held on Wednesday in Dublin ; Mr. J. E. Redmond in the chair. The report stated that the works on the first di. vision have mAde considerable progress. The first division from Bagenalstown to Burris might be opened for public traffic in July next. On the motion of the chairman the reports and statement of accounts were adopted, and the meet ing separated. GLASGOW, DUMBARTON, AND iIki:LENSBURGTT. The sixth ordinary meeting of this company was held on Wednesday, at Glasgow ; Mr. Colin Camp bell, jun., in the chair. The report stated, that although the line may not be opened exactly at the specified time, it is not anticipated that there will be much, if any, delay beyond the middle of May. Th. borrowing powe.: of the company have be n put in execution to tft , extent of 8,8001., at intrrest of 5 per " t nt Pe annum, but the directors trust that the re reduc tion in the value of money wi ll enable them a now to'
