By F. B. COURTENAY, And formerly Surgeon to th© 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 subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

ESKELL, Surgeon Dentist, 8, Lower Grosvenor-street, Sole Inventor and Patentee of an Invention which has for its object the Perfect and Painless Adaptation of ARTIFICIAL TEETH. upon a novel prin ciple, whereby one set of teeth lasts a lifetime, and a second, or reserve set, is unnecessary. Changes take place in the mouth from absorption of gums or removal of stumps, teeth, &c., and ordinary sets would, under these circumstances, be comparatively useless, or only rendered available at some cost, but upon Mr. Eskell's patented process they are not im paired in the slightest degree. Residents abroad, or in the country, have it in their power to adjust their artificial teeth at all times 'without the aid of a dentist. Mr. Eskell does not grant licences to use his patent, which can only be ob tained at his residence, 8, Lower Grosvenor-street, where the medicalprofession, the nobility, gentry, and the public may see specimens, and obtain every information.

It is perfectly true,, as he says, 'hat every body who may be supposed to have a voice or the least in fluence in these matters is overwhelmed with sug estions and schemes, generally on a colo ssa l sca l e . I t i s qu it e t rue that men who might be supposed from their profession to know how countries can best beattacked and defended think it necessary to fringe our shores with guns of large calibre ever pointed at the offing, with men ever ready to work them. It is equally true that others propose the most enor mous estimates for our Army and Navy, and seem to as sume that England is to merge every other consideration; and even to give up all hope of adding to her people or her wealth, under the desperate necessity of defending what she has against the foe that has not even appeared. Of all this we are painfully aware, and, if we differ at all from Mr. Bright in our opinion of these lucubrations, the differ ence is that he has thought it w.lrth while to get them up thoroughly, and furnish the house with full abstracts, whereas a glance had convinced us that they were not worth the most cursory perusal. If the object was to create a general impression that a mar, or even a good many men, might have an extraordinary delusion on this or any other subject, Mr. Bright has succeeded in proving what no body doubts. At almost every dinner table within this me tropolis for the last dozen years there has been at least one man who thought our only chance was to double or treble the Navy or the Army. But the existence of a hundred wild schemes is no argument against the hundred and first, especially if it is distinguished from them all by its modest and practical character. One medicine may be salutary even it a hundred are poison. There may be one honest man even in the midst of a hundred rogues. One statement may be true though many statements are not. There maybe a good plan for the drainage of London, though many plans have been chimerical. There may be such a thing as a sound speculation, though many which pre tended to this character have brought their victims to the Gazette. Indeed, we may see in Mr. Bright's sweeping tirade against defences of all kinds or sorts, except only Volun teers, the very foil necessary to set off the moderate and well-reasoned propositions of the Royal Commissioners. He fires away an imaginary attack on some imaginary pro position. Ho runs a tilt against an army of windmills in the shape of pamphleteers. In his imagination the mules are camels. He attacks the Report, not for what it is, though he calls the writers all sorts of names, but for what it is not, and for what it has, in fact, deliberately rejected. The public anticipation, always apt' to be hazy and care less, erred in the very direction taken by Mr. Bright's speech. It forgot even that special instructions had been given to the Commissioners. So schemes were rife for the general defence of the country, as if it was to be walled in and battlemented, or surrounded with ditches. Mr. Bright has supposed this, the general idea, to be overthrown. It scarcely ever occurs to him that the commissioners. have not advised acontinuous fringe of artil lery round the island; they have not recommended a large increase of our army or our navy ; they have not recom mended a fortress at Guildford, or a circle of 50 forts round the metropolis. They have simply advised .that the exist ing fortifications at our dockyards and chief harbours of return() shall be brought up to th e requirements of t h e pre sent time. If the commissioners have discriminated be tween the impractical and the practical, between the infi nite and the finite, between grand fortifications along the whole shore and additional protection for the receptacles of the national ships and property, it is rather hard that they should be condemned, not for the wheat which they choose but for the chaff which they. reject. Mr. Bright scarcely condescends to notice the propositions of the commission. They are, indeed, too humble for so grand a declamation. If he offers any criticism upon them, it is that, after all, they are insufficient,inasmuch as Mr. Whitworth would undertake to throw molten iron into Portsmouth from a distance of six miles. If that is all that Mr. Bright has to say about the particular works of defence recommended, we must add his unbiassed testimony to the moderation of the report. But as, in everything, Mr. Bright is against defences altogether, except in the' form of Volunteers, we are left to conclude that in his opinion the right way of dealing with Portsmouth, and all our other works of de fence, is to let them fall to ruin, to let the cannon sink into the ditches, let frost and rain do their work, and eventually convert the whole into gardens. The House of 'Commons has pronouiced by a very de cisive majority in favour of the resolution. That, of course, we expected, and Mr. Bright would also expect. If he is., not satisfied with this decision, as most likely he is not, we wish that the appeal could be made to the Volunteers, who, we are told, are the proper defence of the country, and the true constitutional army. Would the Volunteers rather discharge their rifles from behind breastworks, or in the open fi e ld ? Would they rather stand behind the battle ments of Portsmouth, and in redoubts a mile or two in a d va nce, or among the marshes of Hayling Island and the Downs of the Isle of Wight? Were they to find them selves in - a csuntry town such as Chichester, or a coast town such as Brighton, with the immediate prospect of being attacked by invaders, would they not take measures to intrench themselves and fight under cover ? We can only say that not only all the brav es t V olunteers, b ut al l the best soldiers.. in the world, have d one t h e i r best to eco nomise life by the use of such fortifications as it was in their power to make. Romans, Normans, Americans, our own soldiers in India, the Sikhs and Hindoos opposed to us, and even the natives in New Zealand, have all fought an d, pallisades, as well as w i t h swor d an d with earthworks spear and rifle. They never despised these humble appli ances. Bunker's -hill was fought with breastworks. Garibaldi, with 2,000, beat 12 , 000 Austrians, by the aid of a hastily-formed earthwork. The great loss we suffered at Ferozeshah was a wing to the Sikhs havin g run up a breast eventually gall o pp e d over , but work which our cavalry which answered its purpor.. The soldier s w h o h ave run a night or an h our wou ld not h ave been too proud to use W orks already made ; up works of defence in and if they had any post to maintain, such as an arsenal or a dockyard, they would think it so much gain to find good works pro vided for them. Such works may require an army to man them against a regular siege, bid a few untrained men may be able to hold them against a surprise. Scientific men, of course, take a high standard. It is their duty to suppose the worst from the enemy, and demand the most from their own country. But a handful of men raay be sufficient to hold a post for a few hours, and they veal do so all the better for well-constructed works. Mr.Bright,'however, has hovered all round the coast, flitted from harbcrar to harbour, skim med the seas, and soared over the land; he has dene every thing; he has attended to everything and everybody, ex cepting only the proposals before th , s house. Except to say that the winds would always protract in Dover the ships that had fled there for refuge, and that Portsmouth could be successfully bombarded from the distance of six miles, Mr. Bright has really taken no- notice of the report. He has expressed no opinion of the existing fortifications' at Portsmouth, unless they are comprehended in the general censure he passes upon these raid all other methods of war fare. Such a declamation cram have no aim that we can imagine, and it had last night no other effect than to carry the resolution by a majority of seven to One.- 7 - Times. GARIB ALDI'S ENTRY IN .7 0- MESSINA. A letter from Napless, dated July 28, says : There were some inaccuracies in my last letter regarding the evacuation of Melazzo by the Nea politan troops, but I• copied my report from a Bolle tine printed and published in Messina. A Pied montese steamer arrived yesterday from Melazzo, and from the officers on board I derived the follow ing intelligence. The capitulation was drawn up in a manner that exacted no humiliation from the Neapolitans; they were granted the honours of war (though they were to leave all the material of war in the city), and were to leave the island as soon as possible. In the interval, before going on board, Colonel Bosco, the Neapolitan fire-eater, caused all the cannon to be spiked, a dirty and disgraceful trick ; so that when the colonel was about leaving the city on horseback, Garibaldi ordered him to dis mount, directed his horse to be taken to Medici and calling four carabineers ordered them to take the hero on board. There can be no difference of opinion as to the conduct of Bosco, and Garibaldi was fully justified in thus degrading him. I have met also a person attached to the Neapolitan troops who came up with a large body of them yesterday morning. He says that the surrender of 'Melazzo was a ne cessity, as a mine had been made up to the very walls, which were in a shaky untenable state. They were without water, their wine was vinegar, and as to their biscuit it was decomposed. The engage ments, he added, of the 20th and 21st, were very fierce, and well sustained on both sides. The Royal ists had about 4,000 men, and the Garibaldini about twelve or thirteen thousand men, principally Sicilians, backed or headed by a few hundred Pied montese. The former were most efficient shooters, whilst the really hard work was done by the latter, who fought like lions, running upon the cannon, and setting all danger at defiance. The Neapolitans too, fought well, especially the Chasseur-a-cheval. Comparatively few shots were fired, as the action was conducted principally with the bayonet. My informant, who was a Neapolitan, added that the loss in killed and wounded on their ride was about 160, whilst the Garibaldini must have lost 800 men. Garibaldi himself, according to his represen tation, must have been twice in imminent danger. A captain of theChasseurs had raised his sword and grazed the neck of the general, who immediately cut him down, and two or three Sicilians finished him, on which Garibaldi killed one of these vili, and protested against striking a man on the ground. On another occasion he was exposed to the follow ing danger :—A grenade burst right before him and he was only saved from destruction by his horse rearing and retiring. On the morning my infor mant left Melazzo, which was last Wednesday, eleven of the country people had been shot by order of Garibaldi for robbery. Bosco arrived here on Thursday with the 9th battalion of the Chasseurs, many of whom were wounded; and yesterday morning about 2,000 men arrived in four French commercial steamers, which had left on Wednesday, having been 48 hours en route. Barcellona, about six miles from Melazzo, had been abandoned by the Garibaldini with the exception of the sick; Me lazzo is of course now in their possession, and so is a point called Gesso, about 10 miles from Messina. A Russian vessel of war that came in yesterday brings intelligence that Garibaldi's men had already attacked the Neapolitan outposts. A report prevailed on Wednesday that the bom bardment of the city had begun, but that it had been suspended half an hour after by telegraphic order from Naples. The Government denies this in toto, but it is very true that on the 22d General Clary informed the French consul, and on the fol lowing morning other consuls, that if attacked he should make every effort to defend himself, and that therefore they would do well to provide for the security of their fellow-subjects. This was con sidered as an intimation that there would be a bom bardment, and on Monday last the foreign vessels in harbour had their steam up, with the idea of getting out of range of the gurs. We shall have no positive intelligence before Tuesday next. Here, in Naples, we are in perfect repose; and, judging from facts on the surface, one might sup pose that thingh were settling down. Talk there is enough of and to spare, and great numbers are in favour of annexation. Still the party for the con stitution, to which rally many of the old Royalists, is very,powerful. Unless, however, Garibaldi lands, or material assistance comes to them from some other quarter, I feel assured that the Neapolitans will do nothing for themselves. They have from necessity long fallen into a habit of inaction, and are always looking beyond themselves and out of the country for redemption. Their prinoipal occupa tion at present, therefore,•is in talking largely, and creating panics, and exaggerating and distorting facts so as to interfere seriously with the course of things and hamper the ministers, whb are, I be. lieve, desirous of carrying out the principles of the constitution. Most-of the population do justice to the good intentions, at least, of the leading mem bers of the ministry ; so much so, that on last Tues day, which was sacred to St. Liborio, there was an illumination, not in honour of the saint, but of Liborio Romano, the minister of the interior. I have spoken highly of the intentions and ho nesty of the ministers, but at the same time I can not but acksowledge they are weak, not from any want of inherent force, but from the intrigues of the reactionists, and the suspicions and panics of the liberals. Their efforts to do good are almost paralysed. Orders are given and are not executed, or drag their weary length along. Men high in office oppose the constitution, and are simply re moved ; soldiers rush through the streets and cut down peaceable citizens, and we hear nothing more of bringing them to justice. The camarilla were to be removed, but they still hang about Naples, and it is a wonder to me that Filangieri, the great arch traitor, who had the means of saving the King and the country during a whole year, and only enriched himself, has never been even men `tioned. As to Num./ante, he has sent in his resig nation. Since writing the above I have been moving about and making observations, and am disposed to think that the tranquillity which reigns and continues here indicates increasing confidence. Many are accepting office, and the pruning-knife is being applied to the intendente of the provinces with greater vigour than ever. There is, too, a growing opinion that the real interests of the libe ral party lie in consolidating the new institutions rather than in producing anarchy with a view to a problematical change. On the Bourse confidence is decidedly on the increase. The following intelligence, however, on which you may depend, will be likely to produce a great movement. Garibaldi has entered Messina, and a general fraternisation has taken place. It is to be observed that he entered with a flag, from which the arms of the House of Savoy were removed, and on the supposition that the letter of Victor Em manuel has been presented, Garibaldi placed him self at the head of the revolution, and a landing may be expected shortly on the continent. He re fuses the truce, and the Neapolitans preserve the 0 - citadel. The Neapolitan troops who were in the neighbourhood are embarking rapidly on their re turn. The " Comitati" generally, setting aside Vic tor Emmanuel, now swear by and follow Garibaldi. Without assuming any great merit as a prophet, the upshot of it all will be that revolution will be permitted to march forward until it arrives here, and then the French will step in and arrest it and play their game, whatever that may be. Such has been the aim of our neighbours, I believe, from the beginning. Without this impulse from without I am of opinion that things would have gradually settled down into tranquillity and confiden ce ;as it is, I think a disembarkation of Garibaldi and his forces may be expected as certain, and of course there will be other combinations. A truce for six months had received the support of France, Pied mont, and England, in order to if possible. for th e consolidation of the new institutions, possible. As you are aware, a truce of six months had re ceived the support of England and France and Piedmont, and the bearer of the letter from Victor Emmanuel to Garibaldi, who left Genoa on the 22d inst., must have arrived before this and had a n in terview with the Dictator.

' Mr. Burch am , a t the Southwark Police-court, for final examination, charged with cruelly assaulting and disgustingly ill-treating Caroline Lefevre, aged eight years, who was entrusted to her care and protection. The court and every avenue leading thereto was densely crowded, chiefly by females, and it was with some difficulty that the officers could prevent their takiiag'samniary vengeance on her. A sub . scription was got up among the neighbours to pro secute her; owing to the unwillingness of the child's _ father, who 15 married to a second wife. Mr. Wm. 'Edwin, of Newington-causeway, however, under took the prosecution gratuitously. As soon as the `prisoner was placed in the dock, she was saluted with groans and yells, which were immediately suppressed. The evidence given on Monday before Mr. Maude, Aho sat for Mr. Combe, showed that the prisoner had for some years kept a child's school at No. 8, Parvey's-place, Redcross-street, Borough, and that the father of the child, who is a porter in vie em ploy of Messrs. Barclay and Co., sent her to the school about two years ago. The child was merely a day-scholar fer 12 months, but at the end of that time her father married a second wife, and then arrangements were made for the prisoner to keep her altogether, and almost immediately afterwards the the alleged cruelty commence d. Mr. Edwin said he s h ou ld b e a bl e t o s h ow that the prisoner was not c on t en t w ith cutting h child about with a stick and a cane, and likewise with a poker and shovel, but she actually made her eat human excrement. On the last examination evidence of that was not forthcomin6., but now he, ', Pould'establish thatAtet as well as other testimony - to show the horrible cruelty which the poor child had suffered. The injured child was thee brought into court. She appeared to have much improved since last Monday. On' that occasion her eyes were so in flamed and swollen that she could not distinguish. anything. The flesh, however, was still much dis coloured, 'and the marks and bruises were very prominent. Mr. Burcham having examined her as to the na ture of an oath, and her answer being satisfactory, she was sworn. She said, my name is Caroline Lefevre, and lam eight years of age. I know the prisoner, and have lived with her for 12 months. She keeps a school for little boys and girls, but she never taught me to read. Mr. Burcham—What did you do there ? Child—l used to mind the other children. Mr. Burcham—How has she treated you ? Do not be afraid of the prisoner, but speak the truth. Child—She has beat me most unmercifully at times, Sir. Mr. Burcham—What with ? Child--A large stick. (Three pieces of stick, about an inch in circumference, smeared with blood, was here produced. They were found hid away in the prisoner's house by one of the con stables.) That was what she struck me with. Sho broke it over my arms and back.—(Sensation.) Mr. Burcham—When did she beat you last with this stick ? Child—Last Sunday morning, Sir. Mr. Burcham—How many times do you suppose she has beaten you with this stick ? Child (tremulously)—A 'good many times, Sir. Sometimes on the body and head, but more particu larly on my arms and back of my head. I have sometimes hurt myself in getting out of her way. Mr. Burcham—Where did she beat you ? Child—ln the school-room. Sometimes when the children were there. Mr. Burcham—Did she beat you with anything besides the stick ? Child—Yes, Sir. With a poker and shovel. The children were not in the school-room then. Mr. Burcham—Where did she beat you, then ? Child—On the top of the head. She only struck me twice with the poker and shovel. Mr. Burcham—What is the matter with your kand ? Child—The prisoner burnt me with the red hot iron. On Friday morning I was playing with the door mat, and because I did not leave it quick enough for her she took a hot iron from the fire and put it on my hand. (Sensation.) Mr. Burcham—Does she give you plenty to eat Child—Oh, yes, sir; but I do not have any meals with her. I always had a good supper. Mr. Burcham—Now, child, answer me truly. Do _ not fear the prisoner. Did she ever giA a you dirty things to eat? Child—Yes, sir; she did. She made me eF.t some filth—human dirt. (Groans and sensation...) Mr. Burcham—When was that ? Child—Three weeks ago, sir. Mr. Burcham—Was any one present Caen ? Child—Yes, sir ; one of the little girls who come to the school. Mr. Burcham—What did she do to you before she made you eat the filth? Child—She beat me, sir, and she made the other little girl hold my hands behind me, while she forced me to swallow the filth. (Sensation and groans.) Mr. Burcham—Was it your own dirt ? Child—No, sir. She took it from a pan at the corner of the room, and said if I did not eat it she would force it down my throat with the end of a stick. I was compelled to swallow it, but I was sick. 41) g IL RICE • .. , TAMPED, sr• therefore go far to show that the truce has been re jected by Garibaldi :—He has entered Messina with a flag from which the arms of the House. of Savoy are removed. His force has fraternised with all in the city, soldiers, I believe, included, and the" in ference is that he places himself at the head of the revolution. There can be little hesitation, there fore, in•saying that a landing on the continent is not very far distant, and if.my prognostications are right, the revolution will have free course to a cer tain point, when France will step in at the head of 2,000 or 3,000 men, and in the interests of eider prevent its further progress. What then ? The following order of the day has been issued by Garibaldi:— _ _ _ Miri, July 19, 1860. The Medici Brigade has deserved well of the country. Its soldiers, assailed by superior forces, have again shown what the bayonets of the chil dren of liberty can do. The generals of brigade, Cosenz, Medici, Carini, and Bixio, are raised to the rank of major-general; Colonel Eber is promoted to the rank of gendral of brigade. The national army in Sicily will be composed at present of four divisions of infantry of the first class, a brigade of artillery, and a brigade of ca valry: The divisions will begin to reckon from the 15th, commanded by General Turr. For the formation of the brigades of the aforesaid divisions, the majors general will immediately lay before me the necessary propositions for the nomination of officers. For the future the army will take the name of the Southern Army. The general at the. 4 head of the staff, for the Secretary of War, is charged with the execution of the preceding, . . The Dictator, G. GARIBALDI. RAILWAY INTELLIGEONE. LONDON AND SOUTH WESTERN. Mr. Crombie, the secretary of this line, informs us that the directors of this company have resolved to recommend to the proprietors, at the general meeting on the 9th inst., that the dividend for the half-year ending 30th Jane, 1860, be at the rate of 41 per cent. per annum on the capital of the com pany. Mr. Burcham (to the prisoner)—Have you any questions to ask this child? You have just heard what she has sail. Prisoner—lt is not true. The child picked it up and put it on the edge of my plate, and when I told her of it she said it was only bread, and put it in her mouth. Child—l did not. You forced me to eat it. Mr. Burcham—Where is the child who was pre sent on that occasion ? Marian Maria Wilson, a very intelligent child, about nine years old, stepped forward, and in answer to Mr. Burcham, said—l went to school at Mrs. Allen's. I have frequently seen her beat Caroline Lefevre. On Tuesday fortnight I was in the schoolroom with her and the prisoner. The latter beat Caroline, and made me hold her hands behind her while she forced in her mouth some human dirt, saying to her " If you don't swallow it I'll poke it down with the stick." (Renewed sensa tion and murmurs.) Mr. Burcham—Did you see from whence she took this filth ? Witness—Yes, sir ; from a pan used by the child ren in the room. Mr. Burcham—Did you tell your mother of all this ? Witness—Yes, sir; I told her of some of it the same day, but I was afraid to tell all. Mr. Burcham—Has she ill-treated you, then ? Witness—Oh no, sir ; but I was afraid she would punish Caroline more. Prisoner—You did not hold Carolintes hands be hind her, neither did you see me put :filth in her mouth. Witness—l did. Mr. Burcham—Did the child's father hear of this brutal treatment of the poor thing ? Lefevre—No, I did not, Sir. I had heard of her being a naughty girl, and that she had been cor rected, but I never knew that she had been so grossly ill-used until Monday last. Mr. Burcham—Did not you go and look after her. She is your child you know ? The Father—l saw her sometimes ; but I never saw any of these bruises, and she never complained to me. The child's head and upper part of her person was here uncovered for his worship's inspection, when every person in court, except the prisoner, expressed their horror at the sight. The poor child is a very intelligent girl, and gave her evi dence with such clearness that it excited the coma passion of every one. When asked whether the prisoner ever acted kindly towards h er , she answered, " Oh, yes, sir, sometimes she is very kind." Mr. Burcham—This is all the evidence, prisoner. Have you anything to say in an_swer to the charg e . If you have, it will be taken down, and may b e used against you at your trial. Prisoner (calmly —I have nothing to say now.

The directors of this company have just decided on recommending to the proprietors a dividend on the ordinary stock for the half year ending the 30th of June last at the rate of 61 per cent, per annum. BRISTOL AND EXETER. The half yearly accounts of this company to the 30th of June were laid before the Board onWednes day, and the directors decided upon recommending to the proprietors a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. METROPOLITAN The half yearly meeting of this company was held on Wednesday at the London Tavern, Mr. W. A. Wilkinson in the chair. Mr. HENCHMAN, the secretary, having read the notice convening the meeting, the report, an ab stract of which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said they had now every prospect of having a good and sound undertaking. He was happy to say the utmost harmony had prevailed at the board since it was fully constituted. They had abundant reason to be thankful to Parliament for having passed all the bills that were in favour of the un dertaking, and for having thrown out those that were inimical. The corporation had obtained the act authorising the Smithfield markets, and the railway company had obtained power to make a short line to the markets. They had also, in con junction with the Great Westez n Railway Com pany, arranged for a large space of ground under the markets for a goods station. The great difficulty had been to obtain sufficient station room in the city, and they had therefore agreed to take the whole of the vacant ground on the eastern side of Victoria-street for that pur- pose. He hoped they would have space enough to accommodate the enormous traffic that would come over their line. The corporation had agreed to let them have the ground in Victoria-street at cost price, giving them also credit for the proportion of the Parliamentary grant, making the price cf the 51 acres, as stated in. the report, £179,157. The London, and Dover Company had obtained powers to make a railway from Beckenham to Far ringdon-street, and a junction with the Metropoli tan line in Victoria-street. That showed the neces sity for enlarged station room, not only to accomo date the local traffic, but a large suburban traffic. With regard to the works, the contractors had pro ceeded energetically with them, and he believed that all the difficulties had been so far surmounted with comparative ease. The next matter was the proposed extension to Finsbury-circus, and, con sidering the suburban districts, south, north, and west to which their line would give access, he thought such an extension would be a great accom modation to the City, and tend much to relieve Cheapside and other streets of a great deal of traffic. The Finsbury-circus station would be more convenient for the City traffic than London-bridge station, and thus considerable relief from the existing pressure would be afforded. Their under taking did not appear to be appreciated by the public, judging from the price of their shares, but when they rose to a premium he had no doubt they would be sought for eagerly. Mr. T. DAMN seconded the motion for the adop tion of the report. He considered the report of Mr. Fowler, their able engineer, of a most en couraging character, for it showed that their under taking could be carried out successfully. He could not help thinking that the corporation of London had acted in a manner worthy of their high name in giving the company the advantage of the Parliamen tary grant and the land required for the railway at cost price. With regard to the extension to Finsbury, he hoped the report did not pledge them beyond taking the preliminary steps for that project. Mr. CONNELL considered that the extension to Finsbury-circus would be a great boon to the City, be a great benefit to the undertaking, and relieve Cheapside of some of its traffic. The SECRETARY, in reply to a question, said that only 800 shares had been forfeited. A SHAREHOLDER thought a terminus nearer the Bank of England would be prefeiable. Mr. FOWLER, the engineer, stated that the pro posed station would be only 300 yards from the Bank of England. He knew that persons had ob jected to a station so near as Tokenhouse-yard ; the difference of distance would be of little consequence. The public convenience would be increased by means of a new street, and the cost to the company of a station in Finsbury-circus would be much less than if brought nearer. A larger extent of ground could be obtained there without opposition, and ho believed the extension to that point would be looked upon with general favour. Mr. PARSON, in reply to questions, stated that there were three parties - interested in the extension to Finsbury-circus—viz., the Metropolitan Com pany, the Eastern Counties Company, and, in respect of an extension to that point the city authorities. Between Chiswell-street, and Fore street there was very inferior property. It would be necessary to raise an entirely new capital for the purpose of the proposed undertaking, and he thought it would be very desirable to them if carried out. There had been two projects promoted for that pur pose in the early part of the present session, but they had fallen through, and might be revived next session. They had received every assistance from the Great Western Company at the Paddington end of their line, ° and also at King's-cross from the Great Northern Company. There would be a junction with the North-Western, and it was probable the Midland Company would use their line to the city. If the city autho rities afforded them the necessary facilities the line would be open for traffic between the city and King's-cross in the course of next year. Mr. Jay's contract amounted to £270,000 ; .Mr. Knight's contract to £330,000, making together £600,000. The estimate for land was £400,000, and £150,000 for Parliamentary and other ex penses, making up the authorised capital. Mr. Lown objected to the paragraph in the re port relative to the Finsbury extension. A long discussion ensued on this point, which re sulted in an amendment by Mr. Lowe to the effect that the report be adopted, with the exception of the second last paragraph, relating to the Finsbury extension. The amendment was negatived by a large ma jority, and the report was adopted. The salary of the secretary was increased to £4OO per annum, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors.
