METROPOLITAN RAILWAY and CITY TERMlNUS.—Proposals for the Allotment of the Con tractors' Shares.—At a MEETING of the Requisitionists, held at the Mansion-house, on the 28th of January, 1859, ' The Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR in the Chair, The following Report of the Committee was received, and unanimously adopted : The Committee of Requisitionists appointed at the great 3 leeting at the London Tavern to give effect to the subjoined resolutions passed upon that occasion, have been engaged since the date of the Meeting in making arrangements, under the advice of eminent counsel, so as to define, with legal accu racy, the terms and conditions upon which the shares required to complete the undertaking are to be issued. The terms and conditions of the arrangements will be found in the form of applications for shares, approved by Mr. James AVficle and Mr. Lush. • The Committee reprint the resolutions as unanimously agreed to by one of the largest and most influential meetings over which the Lord Mayor of London has ever been called upon to preside. The facts, arguments, and conclusions set forth in those resolutions will afford the best recommenda tion to the public to give their practical support to the objects of the Meet mg by applying for shares. The Committee have the satisfaction to state that the Right Ron. the Lord Mayor, Sir Fitzroy Kelly, A.G. and M.P., and Sir James Duke, Bart., M.P., and R. W. Crawford, Esq., M.P., (two of the Representatives of the city,) have accepted the office of Trustees, and in their names the deposits will be Placed in the London and Westminster Bank., In a letter the Committee have received from the Directors of the Railway Company they avow that they look at the un dertaking purely as a commercial speculation with a view to profit. Others who have always abstained from engaging in railway projects have applied for shares from philanthropic Motives, and others with a view to the relief of our streets. Various as may be the influences which govern ma nkind, it is quite clear that, however strong the desire of the public may be to see this great measure carried into execut i o n, unless the proper means be taken the end cannot be attained. The Committee do not feel it to be within their provineo to go more than recommend the resolutions of the Public Meet ing and the prospectus of the Company to the careful perusal of every man who may be prompted to render the required assistance by any of the motives refered to. It has been, however, the anxious determination of the Committee to spare no exertion which prudence could sug gest to ascertain all the facts of the case, and to surround the Proposed arrangement with such legal safeguards that appli cants for shares may not, in any event, be involved in a re sponsibility which they are not willing to undertake. The names of the present Directors of the Company will be found at the head of the Company's prospectus ; they are gentlemen whose standing in •society renders any voucher of their respectability quite unnecessary from us. It is part of the arrangement that vacancies at the Board alien be made for four Directors, to be appointed by the new subscribers out of their own body. CHARLES WHITE, Chairman of the Committee. Resolved unanimously: That it be referred to a•joint Committee of 25, with power Maul u umuer, IRT YC vitccvlo, ulac - Inents, and to tePort to an adjourned meeting of the Requisi tionists on the 10th of March next, or on such other day as the Lord Mayor may name for the purpose. That such Committee do consist of the Lord Mayor and the other Trustees, together with six of the Aldermen, or Com mon Councilmen, or City officers, six members of city firms, three Directors of the Great Western and of the Metropolitan Railway Companies, and three of the Great Northern Rail- Way Company, or failing their adhesion, of three resident landowners on the line, interested in obtaining the accommo dation of a city station. D. W. WIRE, Chairman of the Meeting. Mansion-litouse, Jan. 28, 1859. Resolutions above referred to : That the overcrowding of our streets with vehicles during :business hours is highly injurious to trade, and entails much loss of valuable time upon a large number of persons of both sexes and all classes, who are obliged daily to resort to the great public monetary and commercial establishments with 'Which this city abounds. That the crowded state of the dwellings of the poor is one of the most serious of our social evils—an evil which In this City is aggravated by the fact. that respectable working men, re and willing to p a y f or decent dwellings, are compelled, Y the want of space, to live with their families in the same courts and alleys, and often in the same houses, with •the host degraded classes, in the midst of every vaiiety of disease, misery, and vice. It appears to this Meeting, by calculations deduced from the official railway returns for the last six years, that the 'Working classes are the most profitable customers to rail roads ; and this meeting is strongly i m p r essed with the o pinion advanced by I%lr. Pearson, the City Solicitor, that if a Subway railroad could be made, intersecting the metropolis, so as to carry merchandise, cattle, and market goods by night, and Passehgers and parcels by day, from railroad to railroad, and suburb to suburb, and to and through the city, by fre quent, regular, and convenient trains, carrying large nu mbers at a v ery low charge, that such a railroad would relieve the streets of many of their obstructions, and provide cheap trains for the working classes at seasonable hours, at the same time that it would facilitate the operations of commerce in the City, and render the great metropolitan railways more useful and profitable by bringing their city passengers within an easy walking distance of all its principal streets. It has been communicated to the Meeting by the Directors of the Metropolitan Railway Company, that they and their Shareholders have subscribed £175,000 to construct a sub-way Railroad from Paddington to the city, with a view to profit as a commercial speculation ; but as it will require a further sum of £475,000 to complete the undertaking, they are not willing to increase their investment, and that they will apply to Par liament for leave to withdraw their deposits and dissolve the Company unless the Great Northern and the public shall be pleased to subscribe the further sum required. This Meeting Is of opinion that it would be much to be regretted if so favourable an-opportunity of proving' the use and profit of the sub-railway system were to be lost, and that this Meeting do therefore invite those who feel an interest in removing obstructions from the streets of the city and improving the dwellings of the poor by means of the sub-way railway system, as well as those who regard it only as a commercial speculation, to take shares in the undertaking, provided it can be satisfactorily proved that the work will be completed for the sum stated, and that no shareholder will be involved in any pecuniary responsibility beyond the sum he may be pleased to subscribe.

The Committee appointed at the great meeting at the Lon don Tavern, on the subject of railway accommodation for the city of London, having decided, after thorough investigation, non the issue of a circular in favour of this undertaking, the ton tors submit the following concise statement of its posi - Lion and prospects : The Company is incorporated by Parliament and em- Powered to raise a capital of one million, in 210 shares, and to borrow, in addition, one-third of the amount of the shar e capital. The line will commence at the Paddington Station of the Great 'Western Railway at Westbourne-terrace. It will pass under th e surface of the New-road, with intermediate stations for the occasional stoppage of trains at the Edgware-road, it,legent's-park, Tottenham-court-road, and King's-cross at 1 .,t 8 iunction with the Great Northern, and thence to a station In Farringdonstreet. ,BY a deviation of the line as authorised, Coldbath-fields risen will, at the desire of the Magistrates, be avoided, the line will be made to harmonise with the contemplated im provement of Holborn-hill, by the Metropolitan Board of Works, and a saving in the cost of the railway will he effected. The total cost of the whole works, rolling stock, and preli minary expenses, up to the completion and equipment of the lines ready for traffic, will not exceed a share capital of £ 950 ,000, and the borrowing powers. To meet this expenditure the shareholders have paid up nearly £OO,OOO in deposits, which stand to the credit of the Company in the hands of the Accountant-General ; and, betty,- convinced of the profitable result of the undertaking, they are anxious to carry it out, and are prepared to make good their engagements on 47,500 shares, if the Great Northern Railway and the public will aid them by subscribing for the remaining 47,500 shares, which are now registered in the names of contractors and others. The directors of this Company regard with great interest the enlarged views and philanthropic objects which Mr. Pearson enunciated when he orignally started this project; but they subscribed their money to' the Company as a com mercial undertaking, with a view to profit. They believe that a onmerous population, and the supply of its wants, are the best and surest foundations of railway prosperity ; and when they reflect upon the enormous population of the district through which this line will pass, its productive capabilities in connection with the goods and passenger traffic of the Great Western and Great Northern Railways and their tributaries, and especially of the Midland and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Companies, which have recently obtained access to the station at King's-cross, its contingent connec tion with the Metropolitan Cattle Market and North London line, and upon the fact that it cannot be subjected to com petition with low-priced steamboats or with any new railway in the same direction, but only with slow and expensive omnibuses and cabs, they feel that this railroad will inevit ably prove the source of very large dividends to shareholders. arious attempts have been made to reduce these large sources of revenue to some definite financial result. These calculations, whether based upon the existing traffic by pub lic vehicles, or from the passengers which may be assumed from each station by each train, or upon the passenger traffic of the North London, the Blackwall, and the London-bridge Station Railways, taken in connection with the population along those lines, prove a receipt, after a liberal allowance for working expenses, sufficient to pay upwards of 10 per cent. on the outlay. But the impression is so general that the pro fits will be large, that there can be no necessity to repeat the calculations. It is part of the arrangement with the Committee of Requi sitionists that four vacancies shall be made in the Board, to be filled up by the parties who may now take up the shares offered, and that all existing engagements with the Com pany are to be subject to revision by the Board when so re modelled. It is under these circumstances that 17,500 shares are offered to the shareholders of the Great Northern Railway Com pany, and 30,000 to the public, upon the terms and conditions specified in the annexed form of application, which has been prepared by Mr. James Wilde, Q.C., and Mr. Robert Lush, QC. whose opinion is annexed. " i'i r e are of opinion that persons applying for shares in the accompanying form, and obtaining an allotment, and paying the deposits thereon to the special account at the bankers, upon the terms specified therein, will be entitled to receive back such deposits, and the interest allowed by the bankers, if the whole number be not taken up within the time to be limited for that purpose. " The Metropolitan Railway Company being incorporated as a railw a y company b y A c t o f Parliament, it follows as a matter of course th a t p erson s obtaining shares in it will not be liable fo r more th an th e amoun t o f such shares to be paid in deposits and calls, in the manner provided by the Com pany's Acts.

Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, ouorazy An erroneous impression exists that public announcements on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons, but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are legally qualified can readily be distinguished—a point of great importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are equally requisite. In the new edition of Self-Freservation,' facts of para mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation. In cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits, indiscri minate excesses, improper diet, hardship, or by injudicious treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had been pronounced impossible. rnblished by the Author, price ls., or free by post for thir teennost Blanchester ,• e s r ta mps, and may be had of Allen, Warwick-lane, Pater -row, London • Westm t - chemist,narket- street, Sheffield l G d u ; e ß s't a , I B n u e i r l : s H tr i e g e h t,.. s ß t i r rm eet i , ng s h o a u m th ,• a ' aeo Faro ,ate, Love, Enoch-square, Glasgow • II Powell, Westmoreland street, Dublin, or from the H.

COURTENAY, And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Curg 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 o the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various duds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded, demonstrating his success and explaining the cause of it. 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.

For children it is espe cially recommended as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair. Its invaluable properties have obtained the patronage of royalty, the nobility, and the aristocracy throughout Europe, while its introduction into the nursery of royalty, and the high esteem in which it is universally held, with numerous testimonials constantly received of its efficacy, afford the best and surest proofs of its merits.

' Ct -1 George Plant, the accused, late caster, having been duly cautioned,adea te lowing statement,:—Late last Wednesday night I was going home, and when I had got down High street, against Richards's, the draper, I m e t a man named Wilson coming rushing out of a passage. He took hold of me, and without saying a word, knocked me down. I kept him off while I was down with a small stick, which I had in my hand. WheUl got up again I said, " What have.you done that for If you don't be quiet I will give you something." He replied, " I'll let you see what I have done it for." During that conversation, the two gentlemen who have given evidence came up. I said to them "You see this man has attacked me." While I was saying so, he ran round at me again, and tried again to get hold of me. In doing so he made a rush at me, and fell upon the knife which I held before me. He screamed out " Police !" and I replied, " I will stay until the police come. I stood up in my own defence : it was your own fault.' I then said to the two witnessses, " I have only stood in my own defence, as you see ; I will stop until the police come and go with him." They walked away, and I, thinking it was no use staying by myself, went direct home. I communicated to my wife what had happened. I had next morning to go to Man chester on business, and did not hear anything of the occuirence till I saw an account of it on Friday morning in the .11(anch,ester Guardian. I returned from the journey at half-past eight o'clock on Saturday evening. My . wife told me that the man was dead. I had been in Mr. Bradley's service a fortnight. I bought the dagger the day before I entered his service, and carried it with me for pro tection, having been once stopped in the Barnsley road. On Monday morning I went to my work as usual. I bought the knife for protection, as I have to travel in counfry places with money. The Coroner, in summing up, referred to the deadly nature of the weapon, but said, as the in juries were inflicted during a squabble, the jury would scarcely be justified in returning a verdict of wilful murder. The jury, after deliberating for nearly four • liwnrs, found George Plant guilty of the wilful ..-der of William Walsou. -44.14114fui, - - HIGH SHERIFFS FOR 1859. At the COurt at Buckingham Palace, the 241 day of February, 1859. Preient, the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty in Council, the following sheriffs were appointed for the present year : FATAL OU TRAGB AT SHEFFIELD, The inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of William Wilson, of Fitzwilliam-street, brass caster, who died on Friday week from being stabbed on the previous day, was resumed at the Town-hall on Wednesday before Mr. T. Badger, coroner. George Plant, of Tomcrossdane, brewers' tra veller, in the employ of Messrs. Bradley . and Co., of the Soho Brewery, appeared before the jury as the accused. Mr. Fretson attended to watch the case on his behalf, George Norton, of Wentworth-terrace, silver chaser, said—On the evening of Wednesday, the 26th Jan., I was at the School of Art Conversazione. In Consequence of the rain I remained at the Adel phi Hotel, along with Joseph Hawksworth and Other friends, until a quarter or 20 minutes to 1 on Thursday morning. When I and Mr. Hawksworth got to the corner of Rodger and Fowler's shop, ad• joining the General Post-office, on our way home, I observed two men quarrelling on the footpath, at the end of the Hartshead passage. I crossed the road, and asked the prisoner, who was one of the men, what was amiss. He replied that he had been stopped ; and the other man, who was the de ceased, said he had taken Plant for a friend of his, who was a cabman. They had given over quarrel ling on our arrival, but after the conversation with us deceased remarked that he could have taken from Plant a stick that he held in his right hand. De ceased then took hold of the stick, as if to take it from Plant. They again had a slight scuffle, dur ing which the deceased was stabbed by the prisoner with a dagger, which he (prisoner) held in his left hand. When Wilson said he could have taken the stick from the prisoner, the latter replied that- he could have given him the knife. I then",:torhe first time, noticed that Plant had a dagger in his hand. [A large dagger, with a formidable blade about six inches long, was produced and identified as the dagger with which Plant inflicted the fatal wound.] On being stabbed deceased appeared paralysed for a few moments, after which he screamed, then reeled like a drunken man, and even tually sat down upon the causeway. edge. I cannot say that deceased was tipsy.; he behaved like a sober man, and recognised me when I was in the middle of the street, he having known rue when I worked in Porter-street. Mr. Hawksworth did not think the deceased was stabbed, but thought the scuffle was a trick to get an opportunity of garot ting us. It was also raining. On this account we left Wilson sitting on the causeway edge, and the prisoner standing behind him, I advising prisoner to remain until a policeman came. Prisoner over took us at the end of Watson-walk, and as he was passing us I saw him put a dagger into his side pocket. Before we left Plant said he would stay until a policeman came, but did not do so. I and Mr. Hawksworth turned up Watson-walk, and Plant proceeded down Angel-street, which is in the direction of his own house. The Coroner—Why, having seen the man stabbed, did you not calla policeman and have Plant taken? Witness—l saw Plant throw up his arm in the act of stabbing deceased, but was not in a position to see the dagger. I was not positive at the time that deceased was stabbed, and the prisoner being a man of gentlemanly appearance I did not like to interfere. By the Coroner—The men were not down together; the stab was not inflicted accidentally, but purposely. There was sufficient time for the prisoner to go away if he had wished during the interval which occurred in the scuffle and our arrival. By Mr. Bland and another Juryman—l did not see the deceased strike, punch, or kick the prisoner. No person was near the prisoner and deceased at the time, except myself and Hawksworth. I did not see any man standing under the post-office archway. I never saw the prisoner before that night. By, Mr. Fretson—l did not observe whether there was dirt upon Plant's clothes, as if he had been down'; it was dark. Plant did not say he had been down, nor did I see him down. I noticed his hat, but did not observe' any dirt upon it. I did not at the time Wilson had hold of Plant's stick, trying to take it from him, hear Plant say " Now, if you come again, I will punish you." I did not hear Plant say previously that if Wilson took the stick he would give him the knife. Plant had the knife in his hand at the time, and Wilson shortly afterwards did attempt to take the knife. I 'did not hear deceased swear at or use insultino , language to Plant. Deceased said nothing to Plant except that he could take the stick from him. When de ceased recognized me he called out, " I know thee, old' lad." I did not know th 6 prisoner. Nothing was said about garotting at the time. Mr. Fretson—You said something about Plant being a gentleman. Was it your impression at the time that he was a gentleman who was being stopped ? Witness—Yes, it was. In fact, Plant told me he had been stopped. He did not say he thought the man was going to rob him. By the Coroner—Plant appeared to be sober. I was sober. Joseph Hawksworth, of Bank-view, Crookes moor, artist, deposed. to the facts stated by the pre ceding witness. When I first saw the deceased an angry altercation appeared to be passing between them. lat the time believed it to be a hoax for the purpose of getting liquor, and took little notice of it. I saw nothing else take place between the two men. I did not see kicks and strokes or blows. Before we turned up Watson's-walk a person passed us, and bade us good night. I went down Angel street. I recollect nothing more of the affair. I cannot say whether the person who passed us was under the influence of Honor. I have not seen him since, and cannot say that I now see him before the jury. The Coroner—You seem to know so little about the matter—pray were you sober ? Witness I had had two glasses of beer, and might be somewhat under its influence. By Mr. Fretson—l have been stopped in the streets frequently and asked for liquor on various pretences. That was why I thought it was a hoax to get liquor. I did not hear what was said. I did not think or say it was a garotte robbery. I did not see the men down together. Police-Constable George Smelter—l was on duty in Hanover-street on the evening of Wednesday, the 26th ultimo, and as I was proceeding down the street about a quarter past twelve I saw the prisoner on the opposite side of the road with_a naked dagger in his left hand. I stood a short time to watch him. He stood opposite me and said, "Do you wish to know my number ? If you do, I will give it you." I replied that I did not require it, and walked a few paces forward. The prisoner stood watching me. I saw no more of him until I, along with Inspector Sills, apprehended him at his house in Tomeross-lane. I had not seen the man before, but am satisfied that the prisoner is the same man. Ho spoke to me in an excited tone when I saw him in Hanover-street, but I can not say . that he was tipsy .. There was no oth er person in the str eet at the time. Emma, wife of George Marples, of Bath-street, table-blade forger—l was standing at the door of the Fitzwilliam Hotel, which is at the corner of Broorahall and Fitzwilliam streets, between 12 and 1 o'clock on the morning of the 27th ult. I was going into the hotel for my husband. A gentle man came up to me and said, " Well, my dear, I am afraid you will be getting wet." I replied, " Yes, Sir ; but you had better be going on about your business." He thereupon pulled a dagger from his breast, held it up, and said, " I am not afraid of anyone insulting me." The landlord of the Fitz william Hotel spoke to me at the door, 'and the gentleman" went across Fitzwilliam-street to the corner of Chester-street. He asked me what street it was, and when I told him, he said he wanted Portobello. I told him he might go and seek it. I saw no more of him. I told the landlord of the Fitzwilliam Hotel what he had said to me. Yester day I selected the prisoner from eight or ten other men at the Town-hall. He is the man who accosted me on the morning of the 27th ult. He appeared to have had drink. Inspector Sills, of the detective department, said—Last Friday morning Mr. Jackson, the chief constable, gave me the description of a man who waf supposed to have stabbed' Wilson. I went in search of the man, but could not meet him until Monday afternoon, when I found him at his house, No. 85, Tomcross-lane. I told him he was to go along with me to the Town-hall, and he had not, so. At the Town-hall I asked him if he iad not, on the previous Wednesday ni g ht, worn ahat with a round. crown. He said he h ad, and further admitted that he had a top-coat, and carried a dagger in his hand. I then took him before the chief constable. He told Mr. Jackson where the dagger was, and I went and he t i h t e \ d v a a g s. ger lao now ls produced on a shelf where e said found a round - crow ned hat, and his coat I obtained from the house of Mr. Shaw, pawnbroker, in the Wicker. I afterwards told Plant he was charged with stabbing William Wilson, who had died from his injuries. His reply was, " Indeed ! then I must see my solicitor." '1 he blade of the dagger was stained with blood to the extent of about four ENGLAND.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—ThorIey's Food for Cattle is now beginning to seriously attract the attention of the farmer, breeder, and feeder of stock. Two years of unremitting care and attention have enabled its inventor to take high ground as a benefactor to these interests ; and notwithstand ing the many drawbacks, the malevolent shafts hurled against it and its probable utility, the food, from its admitted value, will become a necessity to the agricultural interest. Experience has proved, first, that it affects a considerable saving in the consumption of provender; secondly, that it produces health and vigour in all animals subjected to its influence : and lastly, increases in a remarkable degree an early development of fat. Mr. Thorley, originating this singularly efficacious food, aimed at a compound calculated to supersede, to a certain extent, the tedious and expensive mode then prevailing of fattening stall-fed beasts. In this he happily succeeded ; and success prompted a very natural desire to improve upon the invention, so asto make it ap plicable to every description of domestic • animal. The Eng lish farmer was slow to encourage its use, and manifested an unwillingness to rely upon its efficacy, fancying be possessed in the produce of his farm, ample materials whereby to feed and fatten his cattle at a cheaper ra te thanb y t he employment or addition of artificial food. Tho tests to which this foo4 h a as been subjected have proved its perfect admissibility as c a h c as he a l: addition to the natural produce of the farm ; i f 1 ni su u bmitted all cases a subtraction of one-third may bo sa e y °duce will be to in the usual food of animals ; and thatothe PI: thirds of the time realised, and rendered marketable in w t it, iherefore, becomes usually consumed in developing e fa e t; fr ted by a fair application. apparent that a certain savingd".

In cows its effects aro undoubted, indeed almost marvellous, nearly doubling the yield of milk and butter, whilst it at the same time enriches the quality of both. In pigs its fattening qualities are still more remarkable, displaying in a few weeks its manifest superiority over every other kind of compound or manu factured food adopted in the feeding of swine. Such has been its marked success, that at all our great cattle shows, Royalty, noblemen, and others who have fed their cattle on Thorley's Food, have invariably carried off the principal prizes, whilst cards of commendation have been awarded. The patronage of Royalty, of our principal nobility, the clergy, and o our leading agriculturists, must prove a great . incitement to this gentleman to pursue his onward course ; and ho may confidently rely, in producing s i c) highly-favoured a compound, on a continuatio n of o uci high and distinguished patronage,
