Burgoynes, Thrupp, and Clark, 160 Oxford-street Westbourne-terrace is confessedly one of the finest ranges of build• ings in the metropolis. Its proximity to Hyde-park and Kensington gardens, great width, elevation, and gravelly soil, and the very elegant and commodious arrangement of the interior of the man sions, present a combination of attractions which must render it a most valuable investment. The property is held under leases of ninety-eight years, from Michaelmas, 1839. It consists of seventy-threw first class mansions, of which many are already occupied at good rents, and the whole range is to be completely finished, including fixtures, before the 25th December, 1846. It is now proposed to constitute a Company for the purchase of the leases at the price of 370,000/. The report of Mr. Stevens, surveyor of the Royal Exchange Assurance Corporation, shows that at the estimated rental it will yield at least five per cent. to the Company. The report, as well as a lithographic view of the property, may be seen at the solicitors'. It is also proposed, that the Company shall be constituted on the principle of a Tontine. That principle may be shortly described as follows :—Each shareholder nominates a life in respect of every share. By the falling in of the life so nominated the share lapses to the Company, so that the benefit of the fund is continually in creasing to those whose nominated lives survive. Thus estimating the net rental of the mansions in W estbourne-terrace to be included in the Tontine at 18,0001. per annum, and presuming that at the end of a certain number of years three lives only survive, repre senting an equal amount of shares, the shareholders, whose nominees they are, will take the 1 8,0001. per annum, in equal thirds, and the last surviving life will be entitled to the whole for the resi due of the ninety-eight years' lease. Ry this arrangement the shareholders respectively receive a fair interest for their money, with the certainty of a continual increase. The investment is manifestly a most desirable one where the object is to secure a provision fora child or children, because by nominating puch child or children there must necessarily be a good income for such as survive. When the houses are all let at the rents respectively assigned to them, the net receipts will amount to 20,5691. It is not intended, however, to divide, in any one year, the whole of the rental, but to form a Reserved Fund, to be distributed as a bonus amongst the survivors at the end of every seventh year, and a Guarantee Fund to meet 'contingencies, the ultimate balances of which funds will be delivered over to the last survivor with the other property. The proprietor of every share of 1001. will have the privilege of nominating one life at any time previous to the 24th December, 1846 ; and should the nominee die before that day, then another life may be substituted, so that all the subscribers may be on an rents equal will foo t i b n e g r o e n , e t I h: a b 2 l s e th by D them ece e m o li p ., a n 1 y 0 . 40, theday f'rom which the Two Assurance Societies have already offered to assure the lives of nominees of from five to twenty years of age, at the moderate rate of I M per cent. A proper Deed of Settlement will be prepared under the direction of the Committee, and settled by counsel, which will contain all necessary powers for regulating the constitution of the Company, and for enabling the proprietors at any time to dissolve the same and divide the proceeds. The property will be conveyed to trustees, and the management of the affairs of the Company will be vested in a Committee, to be chosen by the shareholders from their own body, one-third of whom will retire each year, and be re-eligible. Applications for shares must be made, in the undermentioned form, and left, under cover, at the offices of Messrs. Burgoynes, Thrupp, and Clark, No. 160, Oxford-street. The houses may be seen by applying to Mr. Thompson, Architect and Surveyor, No. 2, Conduit-street West, Hyde-park ; or to J. Tippett, No. 34, Westbourne-terrace. Prospectuses may be had as above.

The Company is formed for the purpose of carrying out, more ef fectually working, and bringing into general use, an invention se cured by letters patent for an improved manufacture of gas. The apparatus is so portable it can be fitted up on any descrip tion of building, even at a kitchen range, without affecting the do mestic arrangements, and the fire used in ordinary in generating the gas will be ample to produce steam for warming the most extensive premises. • The most eminent engineers and chemists unite in opinion that the invention is not only practicable and free from smell or annoy ance, but by this valuable pateit is secured the manufacture of a pure and superior gas, not only on new, but sound, scientific, chemical, and mechanical principles, which have been hitherto overlooked in the common modes of manufacture • besides, this gas possesses more of the illuminating power, and will burn longer, than that now in use, in the proportion of 40 per cent. in favour of the invention. The patent method t pplicable to lighting generally, but more especially small towns, villages, lighthouses, colleges, churches, dock yards, theatres, public offices, prisons, barracks, railway stations, manufactories, printing-offices, madhouses, hospitals, and schools, &c., and warming the buildings, without extra expense. The benefits which would accrue to lighthouses, dockyards, and numerous localities, where the ordinary gas cannot be conveyed without the formation of many new Acts and Companies, or at im mense expense, would be sufficient to obtain for this Company the most prominent and prosperous position. The great saving to the consumer, the small portion of room requi site for the erection of the apparatus, the simplicity of its working, and the brilliancy of the gas, will insure the adoption of the invention throughout the kingdom ; and although the public can be supplied at a price which will defy competition, the Company can confidently hold out to those disposed to become sharehelders a return upon their capital of not less than fifty per cent. The Company being far advanced, will be in a situation, when ftilly registered, to take contracts immediately. Applications for shares, in the usual form, to be made to, and further particulars obtained of, the Solicitor, and also the Secretary, at the Company's offices, where may be seen the apparatus at work, and the brilliancy of the gas exemplified.

THE BROAD AND NARRO GAUGI. The following letter, respecting the rival gauges, has been addressed by Mr. Bidder to Mr. Creed, of the London and Birmingham Railway:— "24, Great George-street, Westminster, Jan. 2, 1846. "My dear Sir,—My attention, on my return from York, having been called to certain unauthorised state ments and comparisons of the late experiments on the broad and narrow gauge lines, I feel it my duty to in form you, that when the proper time comes, I shall have no difficulty in establishing that many of these are erro neous, as well from the omission of material facts con nected with the experiments as from the inaccurate report of others. Meanwhile, and until these are offi cially reported, I may venture to assert that the allega tions as to the capabilities of engines on the narrow gauge lines have been more than borne out. " I regret that I have to conclude my letter by com municating an unfortunate occurrence in an experiment intended to test the evaporating power of "North Midland engine No. 54, which was thrown cif the line near the Thirsk station from an old broken chair. I may add, however, that, with the exception of the fireman, the injuries to the few persons on the engine were very slight.—l am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, " GEO. P. BIDDER. " R.

THE LONDON DOCK COMPANY- Yesterday, at two o'clock, a half-yearly general meet ing of the Directors and Proprietors of the London Dock Company, which was numerously attended, was held in the board-room of the Dock-house, Prince's street, Cornhill, to receive the report of the state of the Company's affairs for the half-year ending November 30, and to declare a dividend on the Company's stock. Mr. John Catterey, chairman of the Directors, presided. Mr. S. W. Powles, the secretary, read the half-yearly report of the Directors, which stated that, during the six months, 731 loaded ships, from foreign ports, had entered the London Docks, carrying 168,553 tons, and that in the corresponding period of the previous year, there were 658 loaded ships, carrying 166,426 tons, showing an increase of 2,127 tons. The earnings of the Company were 209,0941. Bs. 6d., there being 205,1871. 10d. last y ear, while the expenditure this half-year was 110,8851. Bs. 9d. the corresponding period of the for mer year being 115,710/. 4s. 4d., giving an increase in the former of 3,906/. 19s. Bd., and a decrease on the latter of 4,824/. 15s. 7d. The income had exceeded the expenditure by 98,208/. 19s. 9d., upon which he Directors recommended a dividend of 21. 10s. per cent. on the Company's stock, amounting to 89,b03/. 4s. 2d. That would leave a balance of 8,705/. 15s. 7d.; out of which it was proposed by them to appropriate 5,0001. for the new works. The stock of goods in the ware houses was 105,262 tons;---thie r in the corresponding period last year, being 119,877 tons. The report con cluded by suggesting that the remainder of the floating ch-bt in debentures, amounting to 300.0001., be converted into the capital stock of the Company. The report was unanimously received, and a dividend of 21. 10s. declared to be payable on the Bth of January, and with one dis sentient (Mr. Ward) it was resolved that the Directors be empowered to take measures to convert the remaining debt of 300,000/. on the capital stock of the Company. Mr. Clarke then proposed that a piece of plate, of the value of 3001., be presented to the chairman of the Court of Directors, Mr. Wil liam King, deputy-chairman, and Mr C. Marryatt, the treasurer, and that to each of the Directors a piece of plate of the value of 100/. for each, be also presented, as a testimony of the high approbation of the Court of Proprietors of the unexampled and effective zeal they have evinced for the prosperity of the Company. He observed that since the year 1805, when the Company obtained their charter of incorporation, they had given no special mark towards their Directors. The affairs of the Company had been gradually improving since 1833, whe❑ they only divided 24 per cent. Their divi• dends had now reached 51. per cent., while he was happy to say that there were prospects of continued prosperity, and while their shares, which were at 50/., now fetched 114/. and 115/. Mr, Hodgkinson seconded the motion, which was supported by Mr. Ward, Mr. Twining, Mr. Watson, &c., and agreed to unanimously. It was also resolved that a piece of plate of the value of 1001. be presented to the Secretary, and a Committee was ap pointed to carry the object into effect. The Chairman replied on the part of the Directors, when the meeting separated. SWINDLING EXTRAORDINARY.—The case of unsuc cessful swindling attempted against Mr. Fergusson, watchmaker, Mauchline, and noticed in our columns of last week, turns out to be of very serious import, being only one of a series of systematic and fraudulent trans actions, carried on by collusion between a young man, of the name of Aitken, belonging to Ochiltree, a n d young woman belonging to C a t r i ne , o f the name of _ Bor land. Three separ a t e cases have been discovered, the by means of a forg e d letter, to obtain a su first of which was an attempt, f h r e o m actually fir. IMuir,a merchant,nded o.over Kilmarnock, wherein the young woman succeeded, baying f got the sum of 1 01, mom whichwhich ey s to Aitken, her paramour. The other two cases oc curred at Mauchline, on Friday se'nnight ; the one being a forged order from Mr. Smith, banker, Catrine, to fir. Goldie, merchant, Mauchline, for a quantity of cloth, &e., and the other a similar order from Mr. Cuth bert, Ochiltree, to Mr. Ferguson, Mauehline, PS noted last week, both unsuccessful. Through the vigilance and activity of two of our rural police (Mr. Williamson, Catrine, and Mr. Bryson, Cumnock) the offenders were apprehended on Saturday, and committed to Ayr gaol on Sabbath last—the very day on which, it is said, they were to have been proclaimed, in order for marriage.-- Correspondent of Ayr Observer. Nothing could be better devised than Nicoll's Re gistered Paletot to suit the over-varied nature of our climate, forming, as it now does, not only the sine qua non of the railway traveller, but is equally so adapted for any gentleman taking out-door exercise. It may be said distinctly to mark the costume of the nineteenth century, if that is rightly called marked which is only conspicuous for an unpretending and graceful bearer, the wearer feeling so much at ease. Certainly as an over-coat it is patronised highly, and is also a general public favourite, being so peculiarly English, and avoiding all foreign extravagance of style. It must be ac knowledged as a vast improvement over the old great coat, associated in our remembrance with an uncomfortable sensa tion of tight buttonings, which, from its very clumsiness, defeated its object, the warmth of the person, as interfering with the proper circulation of the blood. The principal hues are black, blue, brown, and olive • also the clerical mixture called Oxford, and can be had Of the patentees, or only of the most respectable clothiers out of London.

Weekly Numbers •.• • .. Monthly Parts (with a Supplement). • Sixpence. Quarterly Volumes • • • • • • • • Eighteenpence. THE PENNY MAtIAZINE has now been in the course of publi cation for fourteen years ; and during the whole period the duties of Editor have been discharged by Mr. Knight,' mister the " Superinten dence of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge." The time has arrived when that "superintendence "has merged in the in dividual responsibility of the Editor. The circulation of The Penny Magazine is very large ; its reputa tion is unimpaired. But fourteen volumes having been completed in accordance with the original intention of the work, which was to combine miscellaneous information with expensive pictorial embel lishment, circumstances now point to the necessity of some essential modification of the plan. Left to Ills individual responsibility in the conduct of the work, the Editor deems it his public duty to take a new position, to enable him to carry out his views of what should now be the character of a widely-circulated and eminently cheap miscellany. Such a periodical work may command as high and as various literary talent as the most lefty of its contemporaries ; and the best talents and acquirements may now be most fitly employed in the service of the people, instead of addressing themselves only to readers of wealth and leisure. Knight's Penny Magazine is in tended to he for the People of 1846 what " The Penny Magazine of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge " was for the People of 1832. Without any change in the objeets for which the Penny Maga- zine was established—"to enlarge the range of observation, to add to the store of facts, to awaken the reason, and to lead the imagina tion into agreeable and innocent trains of thought" —a new Penny Magazine may be able to do much which its predecessor has, from the nature of its plan, of necessity left undone. Essentially a con tinuation of The Penny Magazine under the same Editorship —ex pecting the continued support of the constant friends of that miscel lany —it seeks a more extensive circulation by aiming at a wider range and a more varied character, It will, henceforth, be chiefly a Magazine of Reading. Woodcuts will no longer continue to he the prominent feature of the work ; but will be frequently used as necessary illustrations and as specimens of art.

A meeting of the shareholders in the Paris and Lyons (Ganneron's line), was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of hearing the report of the Committee of Management upon the subject of the amalgamation with other companies for a similar object which has taken place, and to hear the statement of the chairman with respect to the allotment of shares in the amalgamated company. Mr. F. Mowatt was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, stated that the meeting was called in consequence of the nego tiation which had been for some time pending with respect to an amalgamation with other companies having been brought to a conclusion. The Directors of this line (Gan neron's) had attained a very advantageous position as re garded the possibility cf its success ; but as the period of adjudication approached, the state of the money and share markets became such, as to convince the Com mittee of Management of the expediency of an amal gamation with various other companies which had or ganised for the same purpose.—(Hear, hear.) That amalgamation had at length been effected, after con siderable difficulty, with the French Directors, the ma. jority of whom had a comparatively trivial pecuniary interest in the Company, and who looked rather to the position of administrateurs than to the absolute pe cuniary stake in the undertaking.—(Hear, hear.) After a long negotiation they had, however, been brought within the reach of reason by having placed at their disposal 3,000 shares, which would be equal_ to about 400 definite shares in the constituted Company. Intthe amalgamation this Company was placed on the footing of the most favoured companies ; so that in that respect the negotiations had been perfectly successful. There were, it was true, three or four companies which had obtained more shares in consequence of peculiar cir cumstances, but the basis of the negotiations was that this Company should be placed in the position of the most favoured companies. The arrangement which they had succeeded in making was to the effect that for every ten shares in this (Ganneron's) line they should be allotted one definite share in the amalgamated Com pany.—(Hear, hear.) By this arrangement there would be a balance of 752 shares of the Company, which it was proposed to leave at the disposal of the Committee, for reasons which it was not necessary to state more fully, unless the shareholders a ished for a more explicit and detailed account.—(Hear, hear.) The surplus amount which had been paid would be returned to the share holders in the following proportion :—The holder of ten shares would receive 251. in money, and 5/. would go to wards the definite share which was to represent the ten. Thus, the holder of 100 shares in the Company would receive 2501., and ten definite shares in the amalgamated Company, on which 5/. each had been paid. A SHAREHOLDER wished to know what was to be done by an individual who held only five shares? The CHAIRMAN said, that the subject had been con sidered by the Committee, and the most expedient course which appeared to them was for the person so situated to make an arrangement with some other holders of a frac tional part of the amount which would be represented by one share in the new Company. With respect to the additional call of 1/., which had been made, it was the result of the course which had been adopted by their Freneh colleagues, who represented to them that the effect of the increased sum would be to place the project in a better light bt fore the Government, and thus eive the Company a stronger position. The effect of this was that this Company was the only Company which was in a condition singly to go for the adjudication, for they had done everything to put themselves in the position which the French Government required.—(Hear.) A SHAREHOLDER wished to be informed why it was that this advantageous position was not maintained. The CHAIRMAN said that the amalgamation was, as he before stated, deemed expedient in consequence of the state of the share and money markets. The Com pany enjoyed the advantageous position which he re ferred to, in consequence of the care which had been taken to do all that was required by the Government. Nothing had been omitted by the Committee, who em ployed two French engineers, besides Mr. Cubitt, and four traffic-takers; and thus, in addition to the informa tion which related to the engineeriog department, they were enabled to ascertain to the shilling the extent of the traffic.—(Hear.) This was rendered the more practica ble by the information which was obtained from the col lectors of the octroi-duties ; but the aid of the traffic takers was required, in order to make out the returns with perfect accuracy and detail.—(Hear, hear.) In those items which he had mentioned the Committee had expended about 4,0001. The amalgamation had now been perfected. Mr. SNOW said, that the Compsny were deeply in debted to the Committee for the happy conclusion to which they had brought the negotiations. He was a large holder in that Company, and he felt very much pleased with the mode in which the new arrangements had been effected, and the advantageous position which had been obtained for Ganneron's line, and he highly ap proved of leaving the balance of 782 shares in the hands of the Directors.—(Hear, hear.) He would now move that the proceedings of the Committee bo approved of by the meeting, and that the balance of shares be left in their hands. Captain KELLY, as a large shareholder, expressed his approval of the proceedings. He had never in his life heard a more clear, straightforward statement on the part of any Chairman of a Board of Directors than that which they had just listened to—(Hear, hear)—and he had great pleasure in seconding the motion.—(Hear.) Mr. MANSFIELD was desirous to see a more specific and detailed statement of the accounts, and he would move as an amendment that the resolution be postponed until those accounts were furnished. After some discussion as to the disposal of the balance of 782 shares, Mr. WALLY said he was the holder of 1,000 shares in this Company, and he decidedly approved of leaving the balange of shares in the hands of the directors. The care and anxiety, and personal attention which they had devoted to the affairs of the Company, warranted the shareholders in leaving those shares in the hands of the Directors. After some further eonversation the amendment was withdrawn. Mr. WILLTIms then moved as an amendment : " That the balance of 782 shares be divided amongst the shareholders generally, instead of being left to the option of the Directors." The amendment was lost, and the motion of Mr. SNOW, to the effect—" That the balance of shares be left to the management of the Directors," was carried with only one dissentient. The CHAIRMAN thanked the shareholders for the ap. provel which they had expressed of the course the Com mittee had adopted, a course which he believed to be the correct one LONDON, NEWBURY, AND BATH DIRECT. SWINDON, FRIDAY EVENING.—A meeting of the mer ehants, traders, wharfingers, and others, resident on the banks of the Kennet and Avon Canal, took place this afternoon in the large room of the Queen's Hotel, Swin don station, for the purpose of considering what steps should be taken with reference to the supposed intended conversion of the canal into the London, Newbury, and Bath Direct. Mr. Weller was called to the chair, and o ll f r :td Ward, l chairman of the Committee, in the absenc e Dundas, Mr. Merriman, the secretary , and Mr. Blac kwell, engineer, attended as a deputation on the part of the Company to offer explanations. Prior to the business of the meeting, Mr. Blackwell produced copies of the plans which had been d eposited with the Board of Trade, and explained the mistake under which the merchants and traders al ong the banks of the canal were labouring , that it was the int ent i on of the Company to convert the canal into a railway, the object being to preserve the existing navigation, and run a ra il wa y along the banks of the canal. The CHAIRMAN said the meeting had been convened for the purpose of enabling the traders and others, hold ing property on the banks of the Rennet and Avon Canal, to express their opinion as to the injury likely to be in flicted upon them by the supposed conversion of the canal into a railway. From the explanation they had just heard read, it appeared that there was no intention on the part of the Kennet and Avon Canal Company to de stroy the navigation. For his own part, therefore, he considered the statement most satisfactory. He should, however, be happy to hear the observations of any of the gentlemen of the deputation on the subject. Mr. WARD said, as the Chairman of the Committee of the London, Newbury, and Bath Direct Railway, and Kennet and Avon Canal Company, in the absence of Admiral Dundas, he begged to assure the traders that in no way did they, by the construction of their railway, intend to deprive the traders of the advantages of the existing navigation. Mr. COWLEY said, the Parliamentary notices of the Company took power to stop up and alter the course of the Kennet and Avon Canal. He could not see how that could be done without injury to the wharfingers and traders on its banks. Mr. MERRIMAN explained the necessity which existed for making the Parliamentary notices as comprehensive as possible, and said that it was impossible for them to judge of what was intended to be done until the Bill was drawn. As soon as that took place, he would take care the traders on the canal, or any solicitor they might appoint, should have a copy of it. Mr. CROWDER, Secretary of the Wilts and Berks Canal, said he considered the effect of the Kennet and Avon Canal Company making a railway along its banks would be to convert themselves into traders. They might then raise' the tolls of the canal to such a maximum that the traders would be forced to give up, and then the goods traffic would by taken by the Company themselves on to the railway. Mr. WARD said such a doctrine was absurd, for the Company would be as much interested in keeping the traffic on their canal which now existed, as in getting it on to the railway. Their interest in ly , th were identical. The CH viamilv for his own part he w as satisfied that the prupustd railway would be rather of advantage than otherwise to the traders on the canal, and the ques tion arose as to whether they should wait until the Bill \t \ ..~~, ENLARGEMENT OF THE ATHENIEUM.
