Macao has compelled the Governor to impose a heavy income and property-tax, amounting to 10 per cent., which is creating an outcry in the Holy- City, be cause it is felt to be especially hard upon the Por tuguese, now the only permanent population of the place, whose remonstrances against the former ex cessive restrictions and imposts, which drove away the entire foreign community, were disregarded, when they might have prevented the subsequent decay of trade. Murders and highway robberies—hitherto com mitted exclu,ively upon Indians and Chinese —are, as you will see from the papers, becoming alarmingly common, and the perpetrators are probably encou• raged by the impunity they enjoy for their depre dations on the river. The police—who, to do them justice, are certainly efficient in protecting life and property within the town—have no force adequate to the purpose on the roads and villages upon the island, and they have as yet been able to devise nothing bet ter than to counsel the inhabitants not to go alone or unarmed beyond the bounds of the town. A few thousand dollars spent in maintaining a rural police would render such counsel unnecessary ; but permis sion from home must be obtained before even this step is adopted by the local authorities. Warren Delano, jun., Esq., who goes a passenger in the Lady Mary Wood, is the bearer of dispatches to the Government of the United States. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Thvigaticn Company have permanently appointed Mr. Olding their agent at Hong-Kong, an arrangement which we are very sure will give general satisfaction to the foreign community in China. CHINA COMMERCIAL. HONG-KONG, AUGUST 28. At Canton the market continues dull in the extreme. None of the staple imports are in demand, or can be disposed of above prime cost, while the prices asked for exports offer no immediate prospect of eligible invest ment. No present inconvenience is thus experienced by the scarcity of money, caused by the drain fur India; but it may be severely felt should an improvement take place in the export trade. Matters are rather better in the north. At Amoy cotton and cotton goods fetch remunerating rates, but the market is a limited one, and must so continue, until the native dealers are induced, by a sustained demand, to bring exports to that market. At present returns are chiefly made in cash. At the date of the very lest adviens from Shanghae there was a perceptible, though slight, improvement in the market. The loss of the Duke of Lancaster will probably give it a further impetus. Stocks of shirtings are light both in first and second hands, and there is a demand for both white and grey, especially the former, in which a con siderable business has been done since the hot weather commenced. The transactions, too, being principally for cash, are on a much sounder basis than during the monopoly of the now bankrupt Hongs, a pernicious system which we trust will never be revived. Un bleached goods also have been sold, but to a limited ex tent, and at from 50 to 60 cents. less than white. The stock of opium is very large, most of the receiving vessels being full; there is, therefore, no immediate prospect of amended prices. In the new crop of tea scarcely any transactions have taken place. The musters hitherto produced are not of a first-rate quality, and the prices asked are such as no one, looking at the advices from England, is disposed to give; and it is probable that among the first operations for this article it will be taken in exchange for opium. It is said that the number of ehopi to be brought forward at Shanghae will fall greatly short of the amount last year. A similar indisposition to enter into transactions in silk is manifested, the ',sires asked bring such as to leave no prospect of profitable investment. The nalive dealers, who have gone to the interior to make purchases, are said to have hitherto mule little progress, the producers holding out fur prices higher than the foreign merchants are disposed to give, and therefore leaving no profit to the dealer. It is said, however, that a landing- firm in Canton has made a contract fur from 3,000 to 4,000 bales, speculating on the higher priers last year obtain able at the southern ports. Another sale of about 500 bales is stated to have taken place, consisting of Tsstlee, first and second qualities, in equal proportions, at 400 dollars for sycee, or say 420 dollars. Of this year's crop but littlo really good has made is appearance, being probably held until better prices are offered. Instead of being deficient, as was reported, the crop is now said to be abundant; and therefore it will soon be proved whether the unfavourable advices from England will have the effect of forcing the Chinese to lower their de mands, or whether they will be able to hold or take the silk into consumption among themselves.

BIRDS AND TEE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—A para graph having lately gone the round of the daily papers, stating that birds sitting on the electric telegraph wires would, were the instruments at work at the time, fall dead to the ground, we have been informed by a party who is thoroughly conversant with the electric telegraph that such cannot be the case. The only reason he as signs for the above supposition is that birds in their flight fly against the wires, and being stunned fall to the ground to all appearance lifeless. The fact is simple enough, there being nothing to connect the birds with the earth, which must be the case for such an occurrence to happ m .

This feeling pervades to a very large extent not only the business community, but a vast portion of the best and most pious men in both cities, who regard the resolution as the triumph of intolerance and bigotry over enlightenment and sound sense. The facts are these:—Since the 21st of February, 1842, when the rail way was opened, up to the present time, two trains have left each end daily—that is, morning and evening, the present hours being 8 A.M. and 5 P.M., thus allowing every servant of the company to attend Divine service if he felt inclined. Moreover, the trains have been uni versally conducted in the most orderly manner, gene rally carrying country people from the villages to the town churches, or young men engaged in the respective cities to visit their parents, whose residences might be situated in the neighbourhood of the line. For instance, hundreds of Roman Catholics have been in the habit for two years past of coming every Sunday from Campsie and Kirkintilloch to attend Divine worship in the chapels in Glasgow ; and, indeed, Christians of all denomina tions have been wont to use these trains to attend the ministration of clergymen according to their respective creeds. They have never been required or used as trains intended for the purposes of pleasure or recreation. They have, in thousands of instances, subserved the ends of those who travelled on errands of necessity and mercy ; and, at the same time, have been of incalculable service to tourists and commercial travellers. But by this reso lution all communication between the two sides of the island, having a population of 350,000 at the western terminus, and 200,000 at the eastern, is now to be en tirely stopped one day in seven ; and thus, instead of going forward, we are retrograding to the practice of the days of our great-grandfathers. Up to the opening of the railway the mail coach ran regularly on the Sunday, a post-chaise could be got when desired ; but every con veyance of this kind has been long driven off the road ; and those, therefore, who feel a necessity to travel on Sunday, are now utterly helpless. This running of Sunday trains has certainly been the vexed question of the railway ; but on no former occasion have the directors taken it upon themselves to settle it. It has always been left in the hands of the shareholders. At every successive half-yearly meeting Sir Andrew Agnew, with his friends, has appeared to move the dis continuance of those trains ; but uniformly his motions have been defeated by majorities varying from three to seven against one. It was often publicly and authorita tively stated at these meetings of the company that there was a majority of the Scottish shareholders in favour of this moderate amount of railway traffic on the Sunday, irrespective of the English proxies altogether. Mr. L.:adbetter, the first chairman of the company, was averse to these Sunday trains, and resigned on account of them. Mr. Learmonth, the ousted chairman of the late ousted directors, was equally opposed to them ; but they were carried on by both in deference to the wishes of the shareholders. The new Anglo-Scottish board has, however, knocked them on the head, without saying any thing to the shareholders on the matter. It appears that the English deputation, which was headed by Mr. Cbeetham of Manchester; and which drove the former directors from office, have associated with themselves in the new direction several gentlemen who are prominent members of the Free Church—such as Mr. H. Dunlop of Craigton, Mr. Hoeg of Newliston, &c., and Mr. Hen derson of Park, who, though a member of another dis senting body, was the first chairman of the Evangelical Alliance ; and to this connexion must be traced the removal of the very modest and moderate allowance of railway accommodation which the Scottish public en joyed on the Sunday. The general impression here is that many good men oppose the Sunday trains from conscientious motives, but that the larger number de claim against them to support a character of " I am holier than thou art." And the people here con sider it the " unkindest cut of all that they should be deprived by means of the usually liberal minded Eng liehmen of it privilege which the latter enjoy so largely , hemselves, and the ice of which in Scotland has bee , ' proved rather to heln than to harm the cause of reli gion and morality. The public are of course resolved to resist the resolution which has been cc me to ; and the question is likely to give rise to greater discord Clan this divided company has yet seen. In other respects the new directors are making every effort to meet the wants of the public, by ordering new engines, car riages, &c. SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER.

SPECIAL MEETINGS of both companies were next successively held, presided over by Mr. Barlow, at which The CHAIRMAN explained that the sense of the share holders was to be taken on the propriety of giving the directors power to treat with the Great Western Com pany for the sale of the two lines. The same report was submitted and 2doptcd by both meetings. The following is its substance : The report stated that the directors, in order to carry out the intention of the shareholders, and the early con struction of the lines, thought it beat to call in the assistance of another company rather than to depend on the making of calls upon the shareholders. To carry out the scheme promptly and successfully they applied to the Great Western Company to purchase, instead . of leasing the line. In order, h owever , t o g i ve effect to any arrangement for se lli ng th e li nes , it was necessary that they should go to Parliament. No terms with the Great Western had been come to, nor could the directors state what those terms would be, or the probableffect tgthe lh r iin e eve s i : sn i a l ga t mn o dteh f ,ae a wu n dte y hirroe f cr u esi t ste u oiyn r i : negotiation.

An adjourned meeting of the share and scripholders of the Cork and Fermoy Direct Railway Company took place yesterday at the London Tavern, for the purpose of determining whether, under the provisions of Lord Dalhousie's Act, the company should be dissolved or not. The first meeting took place last Monday, and was adjourned till yesterday in consequence of there not being a sufficient number of votes present to constitute the meeting according to the provisions of the Act. The meeting was advertised for twelve o'clock, but it was nearly one before E. J. Spieres, Esq., took the chair. The minutes of the meeting on Monday last, having been read by the secretary, were confirmed, and the scrutineers then proceeded to take the remaining votes. In answer to a question from a shareholder, The CHAIRMAN stated that they had 1,7491. in hand, that there would probably be claims for expenses to the amount of 3001., which would leave them a balance of somewhere about 1,450/. _ _ The SECRETARY said that this was independent of Mr. Sherlock's claim. That gentleman had already had 5001., and he had been requested to send in his claim, but had not clone so. A SHAREHOLDER, in answer to a question from the Chairman. stated that he did not know what the amount of Mr. Sherlock's claim would be, but it would probably amount to 3,0001. The CHAIRMAN said that the London solicitor had had 400/. on account, and he understood that he did not intend to make any further claim. Mr. Sherlock had had 5001. At two o'clock the SECRETARY declared the number of votes to be 605, which number not being sufficient legally to constitute a meeting for a dissolution, the meeting broke up. A meeting of shareholders was then constituted, Mr. Valentine in the chair. The CHAIRMAN having read a statement of the pre liminary expenses, which he said he considered all would think reasonable, A resolution was proposed and adopted to the effect, that it be a recommendation to the directors to divide 105. a share, reserving tho surplus for the settlement of any other claims that might be made, and after those claims had been settled to return the remainder to the shareholders. The CHAIRMAN said if he got back 15s. a share he should think himself well off. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting broke up. IMMEDIATE REPEAL OF DUTIES ON COHN AND ALL HUMAN FOOD. A large meeting of the inhabitants of Marylebone, was held last evening, at seven o'clock, in the Princess Assembly Rooms, Oxford-street, in accordance with an address calling them together. Amongst those present, we observed Itlessrs. J. Heath, P. Graham, G. Rogers, John Dell, J. Creed, J. Reighley, J. Lyons, J. Wilson, and J. Cousins. The printed address stated that they were called to gether "in consequence of the alarmingly high price of bread and meat throughout the country, the actual existence of famine iu Ireland, and apprehension cf its greater extension during the forthcoming winter from a dearth of provisions, and the confession of her Majesty's Government of the necessity for national prayers to diminish or avert the consequent im pending evils which on all sides menace the United King dom." The principal object of the meeting, however, was to hear an address from Mr. Cochrane, of Devon shire-place, with the earnest endeavour to create such a manifestation of public sympathy and anxiety for the sufferings of the poorer classes throughout the country as will lead to the Government removing, without dcla), all duties on every kind of food essential to human wants." A. Ramsey, Esq., was, in the absence of Sir William I3ayne, appointed to the chair. Mr. COCHRANE, who was received with loud applause, then proceeded to address the meeting. At such a crisis, when bread, meat, and the common necessaries of life were at an enormous price, and the probability of the price being still greater increased, on account of the impending famine in this country and Ireland and Scot land, he considered that it was the ,duty of every one, however humble his abilities, to come forward and do all in his power to alleviate: it,, and to explain how that alleviation might best be effected.—(Hear.) In such a state of things, the accuracy of which was left beyond doubt by the Order of Council for prayers to the Almighty to avert the impending evils of scarcity, he considered it was the duty of a Christian Minister of a free country at one stroke of the pen to open the ports and admit the products of other coun tries necessary for the sustenance of the inhabitants of this free of duty.—(Loud cheers.) Ministers were no doubt in the habit of reading "holy writ," and were no doubt aware of the the text which said, "That those who withhold bread from the poor should be cursed."— (Cheers.) Any laws which prevented the free inter change of commodities, and which put money in •the pockets of the rich at the expense of the poor, could not be otherwise than unchristian. The prayer which had been issued besought the Almighty not to allow the poor to perish from famine, and attributed the scarcity to a judgment f ur th e s i ns of the people; but the people deserved great praise for their forbearance under scarcity and under stringent restrictive laws, instead of attributing the scarcity to their sins; for, but for those restrictive laws, there would have been abundance, instead of scarcity, and cheapnes s in s t ea d o f detrness.—(Cheers.) But there was little necessity for the Archbishop of Can 'erbury to frame a prayer for the occasion when there was a prayer in their prayer-books which thanked • the Almighty for bestowing the produce of the earth upon all the people of the earth, irrespective of condition. The fluctuations in the price of wheat during a few years, from 395. to 115 s. per quarter ought to have taught Minis ters ere this to place no faith in fallacious imposts.-- (Cheers.) But the poor had ever been sacrificed to class legislation, to the rich, who were indifferent to the wants a poor ri who g roun d their facts to the a n r d ti , and price of th e i r b read. - The poor earth, struggles i r sis o e f d th t e h ep were subjected to the influenee,:of .an unnatural poor law, which was based upon this atrocious formula —reduce the food in quantity and quality, and then so regulate o ,) rout-door relief as to supersede the necessity for it at ail. Ile then referred to the case at Peckh am, where a wo man, for a small fault, had one of her teeth knocked out. The men was tried, the Poor Man's Guardian So cif ty prosecuting, but by some means or other he was acquitted.—(Shame.) Then a • ease occurred in St. Giles's, where a poor man had been subjected to the harsh system pursued in that utsion_ Ives not allowed to have either the solicitor or secretary pr esent at the board to defend his case.—(A voice, "That was all humbug. " ) .Meetings would shortly be held there, an d h e should be happy to afford these .who doubted hire an. Opport un i t y of e• provin there that his statement w as not founded in fact. The" scarcity was . a judgm ent upon the Govern mentifer passing laws bearing harshly up on t h e poor, and a judgment on the rich for making th ose l aws more stringent ; and the scarcity was not a judgment - but a' warning to the Government, not to attempt to re gulate the seasons, but to afford the poor the produce of the earth Kt a fair rate. What a mockery it was for many of the poor of Ireland and Scotland to pray " for their daily bread," when they did not taste bread from year to year.—(l - lear, hear, and cheers.) After defending the poor from the charge of bad conduct which was frequently made against them, and citing the good conduct of those employed by the philanthropic; he concluded by submitting a memorial to the Lords of the Treasury, eloquently calling upon them on account of the present distress of the people immediately to issue an Order in Council admitting bread —the proper food of man, and not potatoes—into this country, an d a l l other necessaries of life, free, as a step to their imme. diate repeal. The memorial was unanimously adopted by the meetine. A Mr. Griffiths, a young man wearing a Byronic collar and white trousers, endeavoured to address th, meeting, but as his address was without purpose, and as he seemed " beside himself," the meeting Most de cidedly refused.to hear him, and after retaining his posi tion for some minutes, the Chairman politely requested hits to withdraw, but as he continued to treat both him and the meeting with contempt, the Chairman collared him and thrust him from the platform. We have fre quently, seen the young gentleman disturb meetings in a similar manner. Mr. A. CAMPBELL next addressed the meeting, and proclaimed himself a disciple in the cause—as desirous to see free trade carried out in all the nations of the earth —to see the people enjoy its fruits, for the land was theirs, and should belong to them —(Ch ee s. r ) The Times had, within t he last few .ays, proclaimed that the people of Ir e l an d h ad an antecedent right to the land of their country over those who now possessed it. But, with all the distress here, we were even an exporting country, and wo u ld remain so as long as its proprietor: could get lOs. more a for it,unless it were for bidden by legislative quarter s He wished ~enactrnents.—(Cheer. .) to impress upon Al Cochrane, who was a good friend to the poor—(Cheers) —that even when cheap food was attained, something enable the try must be done to poor bu rst lt d ' eers ) — something must be done to afford thorn, reproductive profitable employment. —(Hear.) Let steps be t a k en to cultivate this country; for if it were properly cultivated, it would yield food for 120 millions. lie did n o t w i s h to add any amendment to the memorial, but he wished to submit to the meeting a sentiment to this effect—that in order to obviate such distress for the future in Ireland, for instance, the Government was bound to adopt rational measures, in order to give them reproductive labour in their native land, to cultivate waste lands, and to issue Exchequer-bills to defray the expense. The process was ono which would yield them • an ample return I.le resumed his seat amidst much cheering. Mr. FARREN advocated representation of the a fuller people as the best means of freeing them from the in fluence of injurious laws and the machinations of those who were speculating on their misery, by keeping food out of the market' in order to create a scarcity, and con sequently regulate the price by regulating the quantity. Mr. WYNN supported the memorial, and cited pas sages from Scripture to show that the Government, who professed themselves believers of " holy writ," were. acting in direct c o ntradiction to its spirit, and that they ought to act in accordance with the word of God, and let " the oppressed go free." • Mr. WILLIS next addressed the meeting, which sepa rated after passin g a vote of thanks to t h e Chairman and Mr. Cochrane. S everal names were a ppended to the memorial. INTESTATOBY—Instan ces o f wealthy p er sons dying without mak i ng a w ill are o f l a t e of frequent occur the City of Londrm rence.

We can say with certainty that no measures have been neglected to put a stop to this disorder, and the Inspector of Public Health has been ordered personally to see that all of the sanatory mea sures prescribed by the superior authorities are carried into execution. The disease is on the decline in most of the communes. Yesterday a very extraordinary phenomenon, which has not yet been accounted for, astonished the oldest sea men of the port of Antwerp. The tide was to rise till a quarter-past five, and it was, therefore, with extreme surprise that they perceived the waters to fall consider ably at five minutes past four. This circumstance is the more remarkable, because on account of the sea-moon a very high tide was expected. In consequence of this event the American three-masted ship the Shanunge, which was in the road, was unable to enter the basin. The tempest which has been raging here since yesterday morning, has done considerable damage in the environs of the city of Brussels. The price having attained the rate at which the trea ties for the cessation of Bavaria to the Zollverein allow the suppression of duties, King Louis has just ordered the importation duty free of all kinds of provisions into his kingdom. _ _ Yesterday, in consequence of the unfavourable weather, six or seven merchantmen, which had left the port of Ostend, bound for Liverpool and Portugal, were obliged to put back, having been stopped about at sea for seven days without having lost sight of the coast. .- 333,000 Leaving applicable to the comple tion of the main lines 3.

" In addition to their share capital, the company were entitled to borrow to the extent of one-third of their whole capital, and they have already availed themselves of that power, on the North 'Wales Mineral Railway to the extent of 90,0001 " STATE OF THE WORES.—The North Wales Mineral Railway is now completed from Saltney to Ruabon. It was inspected on Wednesday of last week, by Major- General Pasley, and there is every reeson to believe that his report will be perfectly satisfactory. The stations at. Ruabon, Wrexham, and the intermediate places, though nut all completed, are in a state to afford sufficient ac 'commodation for traffic. The stock of engines. carriages, waggons, &c , required, is in readiness. A temporary agreement has been made with the Holyhead Company, for the use of that portion of the line between Saltney and the Birkenhead terminus at Chester. Similar arrangements have alto beer. concluded with the. Chester and Birkenhead Company, after rather protracted nego tiations, and from the fair and friendly spirit in which the directors have been met, and the obvious benefit to be derived from the traffic of companies so intimately connected being placed upon terms of mutual advan tage, they feel confident that the details of the agree. went entered into will be properly carries out. The directors have learn. 11 with satisfaction that the Chester and Birkenhead Company have also made con siderable progress with preparation for their proportion of the goods traffic of the Shrewsbury and Chester line. The directors have likewise turned their attention to the means of providing for the carriage by water from Saltney, for such portion of goods as may be more ad vantageously conveyed from thence by the river Dee or the Ellesmere Canal. The mineral branch is rapidly progressing, and will be in readiness for working in the ensuing spring, when a considerable quantity of coals, lime, and iron, will be brought upon the line, although the full resources of the mineral field will necessarily take a lager time to develop. The works upon the Shrewsbury, Oswestry, end Chester line have hitherto been mainly confined, as stated in the former report, to the Dee viaduct, which requires a considerably longer period to finish than the rest of the line. It is progress ing very satisfactorily. Agreements have already been made for the purchase of the greater portion of the land for the whole line. On full consideration, the directors have decided on pressing on the formation of the line from the Chirk viaduct to Salop, so as to permit 17 miles of line to be opened, and prove productive, before t is possible to complete the heavier works. The directors are happy to say that their engineer reports that he will be able to open this portion of the line early in the spring of 1848, and the whole line he hopes to be able to open in the autumn of the same year. The directors beg to refer to the engineer's report, in the appendix. " NEW BRANCIIES.—The directors having had th( it attention called to the requirements of the important districts around Mold, aqd on investigation having ascertained that the best mode of affording railway ac commodation to Mold, and the immediate neighbour. hood, would be from this line, they have caused a survey to be made for the purpose of going to Parliament. The length of the line is about eight miles; and the expense of construction will be moderate. They also recom mend an application to Parliament to enable them to form a commodious terminus at Chester, either by them selves, or in connexion with any or all of the neighbour ing companies, so as fully to accommodate the large traffic, which must concentrate at Chester, for Liverpool and Manchester, and other important towns. PROSPECTS.—The directors having thus explained the progress andfpresent position of the Shrewsbury and Chester line, cannot help congratulaticg the shareholders upon the result of the proceedings in the last session of Parliament. Every line which in any way threatened to affect their interests having entirely failed or been thrown out of Parliament, whilst there have been ob tained, first, their two valuable branches; and, secondly, two lines by independent companies, one from Shrewsbury to Birmingham, and the other from Shrewsbury to Here ford, equal to this company's line in extent, running into it, and placing it in the position of being the connecting link between Bristol and Liverpool, and between Bir mingham, by North Wales to Liverpool. Further, the line traverses, in its whole length, a populous and highly cultivated country. The mineral field extends over six teen miles of the central portion of the line, from which already a very large traffic flows towards both termini, although the minerals have been won, and worked only to a small extent. The line- possesses the advantage of running from the sea into the interior of the country, a position always favourable to the development of traffic. IL is completely protected from the competition of car riage by water, which in so many cases presses heavily on other lines. It further possesses this peculiar advan tage, that on arriving, at the terminus or shipping port on the Dee, there are already existing three different means of communication with Liverpool and Birkenhead, competing for traffic; t3ad 0. fourth and most valuable £347,000 one will, in a short time, be added to the number. These are—First, the Manchester and Birkenhead Railway. Second, the Ellesmere Canal from Chester, via Ellesmere Port to Liverpool, by water communication all the way, without change of boat. Third, the River Dee, w hich affords, by means of steam- tugs, the cheapest conveyance at present existing for goods and minerals to Liverpool. An extensive project for the improvement of the navi gation of the Dee is in progress. The fourth means of communication :with Liverpool will be the Cheshire 'Junction Railway and the bridge over the Mersey near Runcorn. While holding these views as to the future and not remote success of the line, the directors think it right to caution the shareholders mot to raise their expectations too high as to the result of the first opening. It will obviously require some time to form conexions with the various districts of Shropshire, Montgomery shire, Denbighshire, and Merionethshire, the traffic of which, in goods and passengers, will be brought upon this line, as their natural course; and until these arrange ments shall have been in some degree carritd out, it is scarcely to be supposed that the traffic will afford a fair indication of the future prospects of the undertaking. The directors are endeavouring to facilitate such arrange ments by every means in their power. This cannot be done effectually, however, in any way but by open com petition, called into action by the wants of the public. It is in order to effect this, at as early a period as pos sible, as much as with a view to immediate 'Profit, that the directors have been anxious to open the lino with as little delay as they could ; and when it shall have been fully accomplished, they feel confident that the most sanguine anticipations of the shareholders will be realised. " The directors named in the Act are—William Ormsby Gore, Esq., M.P., William Wardell, Esq., Sir Richard Jenkins, K.C.B. ' Robert Aglionby Sl ane y, Thomas Dixon, Charles Wardell, John Rogers, William Brown, John Williams, David Harrison, John Bethune Ross, John Royle, George Mackintosh, William Bevan, and Frederick Richard West, Esqs.; all of whom are eligible for re-election, and offer themselves accordingly. It will be necessary that this meeting appoint two auditors, and fix the remuneration of the directors and secretary. The directors recommend that Mr. Robert Roy be continued in the office of secretary, with a salary of 5001. per annum. The directors recommend that Mr. James Smith, accountant, Chester, and Mr. Thomas Hill, accountant. Oswestry, be appointed auditors, with a salary of 201. each." The lion. CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, stated, that since it had been printed, alletter had been received from General Pasley, in which the gallant officer said, " I have made a very favourable report of your works." The proprietors would be extremely gratified at hearing this, and he was happy also to bear testimony to the amicable manner in which the arrange ment with the directors of the Chester and Birkenhead Company had been carried out, for it was most essential that all the lines running from the Severn to the Mersey should be in union and goodfellowship. This line had before it the prospect of as great a traffic as this country could produce. It had not only the mineral fields of South Wales, and the trade which was now carried on coastwise, between Bristol and Liverpool, but also the prospect of very considerable traffic from the districts in the neighbourhood of Birmingham. Under these cir cumstances it was essentially necessary that harmony should prevail; and he had the gratification of stating, that i at meetings of two other companies over which he pre sided, the Shrewsbury and Birmingham, and the Shrews bury and Hereford, the shareholders were deeply im pressed with the necessity of the trig juncta in uno.— (Hear.) The Chairman then adverted to a feeling of some dissatisfaction with the shareholders, concerning the purchase of some shares. They had mainly had the interests of the proprietors in view ; and, under these circumstances, they had deemed it right to issue circu lars to all the shareholders, to the effect, that if they wished to be represented at the present meeting, they might send their proxies to whomsoever they pleased. To himself alone there had been confided proxies repre senting capital to the amount of 357,2901., the votes on which were 7,466. This was entirely independent of the votes he possessed in his own right, and of the interest he had in the line. The gross capital of the company was 548,9901., the votes on which would be 12,420. The proxi , s he held were independent also of those which had been sent to other parties. He returned his thanks for the confidence which the majority of the proprietors reposed in him. The Chairman than ad verted to another list for directors which had been sent in, and stated that though he had no objection to their names, he could not consent to those who had borne the brunt of the battle being now turned out. If any one went out he ought to be the first, seeing that he had come in only at the eleventh hour. Some doubt had been expressed as to the payment of arrears • but the company need not be ashamed when he stated that since the sth inst. 20,1251. had been paid up on those arrears. He was further happy to say, that until the whole line was opened from Chester to Shrewsbury, no more would be called for than 61. per share—(Hear, hear)—and that upon the North Wales Mineral Old Stock there would be only one equalising call of 1/. per share.—(Hear.) The Chairman concluded by stating that the line from Chester to Ruabon would be opened to the shareholders and their friends on Monday, Dec. 2, and to the public the following day. The motion for the adoption of the report was then seconded, and unanimously carried. Mr. DAuttv moved, and Mr. POTTS seconded, the re election of the directors, and that they be paid an allow. ante of 8001. per annum.—Carried unanimously. The salaries of the secretary and of the auditors were fixed at the sums recommended in the report. Mr. WILLIAM JACKSON, Chairman of the Chester and Birkenhead Railway Company, moved the thanks of the shareholders to Mr. Gore for his conduct in the chair, and congratulated the meeting on the amicable relations subsisting between the two companies. Mr. Jackson included other directors and the solicitor in the same vote, and it was unanimously carried. The CHAIRMAN having returned thanks, a similar compliment was paid to the engineer and the secretary, and the proceedings terminated. GREAT WESTERN and WYCOMBE RAILWAY. The first general meeting of the proprietors of this company was held yesterday at half-past eleven o'clock. Frederic Pratt Birlow, Esq., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said, the present meeting was for the transaction of the ordinary business of the company, preliminary to the special general meeting, which was to succeed it. The directors were not under any obliga tion to call the present meeting for several months, but as a special general meeting was to be held at the close of the- present one, and as the power of ' the directors ccased on that day, it was necessary to hold the general meeting for the election of directors before the special husinass , could be gone into. When these two lines were originally proposed the state of the railway world was Much different to what it was now, . but from the alb:red times end the -condition of the money market, and 'in order to relieve the shareholders of frequent calls for the construction of the line, it was thought best that an arrangement should be come to with an established company. But to make a treaty of the kind referred to, the directors wished to be placed in the position and to have the power to do so. The directors •had found the directors of the Great Western Company willing to treat with them; and although he (the Chair man) was not in a condition to lay any terms before them at present, he had no doubt that some satisfactory arrangement would be come to. All that was required at present was for the shareholders to give the directors power to treat, and for that purpose had the special genth al meeting, which was to follow, been convened. The SECRETARY then read the report : "Whilst your directors have much pleasure in being able, to announce to their shareholders the success at tending their application to Parliament for a Bill for making a railway from Maidenhead to Wycombe, and from West Drayton to Uxbridge, the Act for which has been granted and the royal assent given thereto in July last, they cannot but regret that the outlay should have been attended with so heavy an expenditure compared wish the magnitude of the undertaking. The Bill bad to encounter a strong opposition in the Committee of the House of Commons, of fourteen days duration, with the London and Oxford projected Railway. "The directors have convened the first general meeting of the proprietors of the company, for the purpose of conforming to the clause of the Consolidation Act, to effect which resolutions will be submitted for your ap proval." Mr. DELLONY moved the adoption of the report. Mr. Tuosisorr scconded the motion, which was put and unanimously agreed to. Resolutions were then submitted and successively carried, appointing Frederic Pratt Barlow, Esq.; Robert Wheeler, Esq.; A. F. Paul, Esq.; George Emery, Eeq.; Francis Parker, Esq ; and William Rose, Esq., direc tors, with 400/. a year, and nominating the secretary, Mr. J. H. Wilson, at 1001., and two auditors at 5/. each. GREAT WESTERN AND UXBRIDGE RAIL- WAY. The meeting next resolved itself into a general meet ing of the shareholders of this company. Mr. Barlow in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said the same report which had been adopted by the Great Western and Wycombe meeting would do for the present one, and the explanation he had given of the affair-of the one company would suffice for the other. The report was then submitted and unanimously adopted. The resolution appointing the same directors as those appointed for the previous company, and fixing their remuneration at 2001 a year, , were agreed to, and the salary of the secretary fixed at 1001. This terminated the general business of both com panies, and DUTCH MAIL. THE HAGUE, OCT. 22.—THE SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES-GENERAL.—SeveraI projects of law, with the explanatory memorial, were presented to the Cham ber in this sitting. Among them was that for determin ing the employment of the surplus of the colonial re venue for 1845, which, according to Art. 59 of the fun damei4al law, is to be regulated by ten. It results from this project of law that the excess of the surplus of the year 1845 amounts to the sum of 4,718,311 E, which will serve to cover in part the expense of the budget for the same year. It appears also that the total revenue amounted to 33,104,346 f. Another project of law was for the propagation of the law of the 18th of December, 1845, containing measures to encourage importation of provisions for the term of eleven months, that is till the Ist of October, 1347. The nature of the pro pagation is stated to be, that " Though the accounts _which the Government has received res pecting the state of the harvest of this year shows that, in all probability, it will not turn out so unfavourably as last year, it is very far from being a good harvest." The disease which has affected the rye this year and the repeated appearance of that which affected the po tato-crop last year, have had an unfavourable effect on the produce, so that it is probable that they will not ex ceed the half of an average crop. Most of her countries are affected in the same manner, in consequence of which prices are everywhere high, and likely so to continue, ler which reason the Government feel it to Le its duty, to extend the law for the importation of various articles of provisions ciaty free. THE HAGUE, OCT. 23.—1 n the sitting of the States- General of this day, a message 'as received from his Majesty, with a project of law for completing the budget of the Gth of March, 1844. rl AiINHEM, OCT. 21.--10-day several more rich per sons have passed through this place, with the intention of emigrating to the United States of North America. At the beginning of this week a miller, advanced in years, with his wife and two children, passed throtOt for the same purpose. Most, if not all, of these emi grants complain that, on account of the pressure of the many heavy burdens, they can no longer find a subsist ence in their own country. Tun HAGUE, OCT. 22.—his Majesty has been pleased to select, from the three candidates proposed to him, the lion. Mr. Bruce, who was president last year. Mr. Bruce, on taking possession of his seat, delivered an address to the Chamber, expressing his gratitude and satisfaction for this new mark of the confidence of his colleagues, and of his Majesty's favour. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, OCT. 16.—Up to this moment there is no appearance of the India mail, nor is there any of the Tagus with the outward mails. It is feared that some illcident must have happened, as she is three days over - The mails, rid Marseilles, reached yesterday at 'quo o'clock, A. M. _ _ Early this morning the Dutch frigate Prince Von Orange, having his, Royal Highness Prince Henry in command, and the two corvettes, Juno and Sambre, were in sight, and at half-past ten, A.M., entered port, on their return from Genoa.' The Prince will not land till to-morrow, at ten o'clock. On Wednesday night Malta was visited by one of the most violent storms ever remembered. The forked lightning illuminated the air, the thunder roared in fearful claps, rain in torrents descended, and hail stones (almost unknown) fell; so large were the latter, that were I to name the siz' of some I should infal libly be accused of imitating the celebrated Baron Mun chansen. Iu the midst of the storm, her Majesty's steamer Flarner, Lieutenant Lavie, entered port. The dexterity and seamanlike skill manifested on - the cccasion form the general theme of conversation. Much damage ensued, and the electric fluid struck several houses. Early on Thursday morning (four o'clock, A.m.), a second squall, even more violent than the storm over night, was felt. Her Majesty's brig Siren, which took pratiquc that morning, was taken, and fouled the Heck steamer. The Siren lost her jibboorn, but the Hecla re ceived little or no damage. Between Gozo and Comino, two Maltese boats, called speronaras, were wrecked, by which misfortune nino per sons perished. One man, named Gausi, was picked up on a plank thirteen miles distant from the scene of the catastrophe by a fisherman. The boats are named the Susanna and the Santa Filomena. One house at Gozo was blown or washed down, and (our persons killed; and an ohl cowherd, with his two cows, were washed away and lost. SATURDAY, OCT. 17.—The Pottinger, with the mails from India, has arrived, and the Tagu, , , from tiouthamp ton, is coming in. At ten o'clock, A.3r., his Royal Highness the Prince Henry . of the Netherlands landed under a royal salute. A guard of honour from the 42(1 Regiment received his Royal Highness at the Custom-house, where he was landed from I,he.birge. of Rear•. Admiral Sir_L. Curtis, and where alio he was received by Colonel Balneavis, our acting-governor. Hence they proceeded to the palace, where a second guard of honour, supplied by her Majesty's 88th Foot, and commanded by Captain Irwin, was drawn up, and where also the stiff of the garrison assembh:d to welcome his Royal Highness on his return to Malts. On the 16th, her Majesty's steamer, the Trident, - having completed her repairs, went on a trial trip to sea.- She returned in the afternoon, and appears to have answered remarklbly well. Her avenge spekl was nine and a half knots per hour. OCT. 17. DISTRIBUTION OF THE MEDITERRANEAN SQUADRON. In Malta Harbour.—The Ceylon, 12, receiving ship, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir L.

FIRST OPERATION OF THE RETIRE:RENT SCHEME.— Captain James Slade (1810), one of the officers who have accepted the retirement, is dead, and the Admiralty, in accordance with their expressed determi nation of granting to those officers who had ziven ;n their names as candidates for the retirement before the Ist of October the advantages of the measure from that date, have announced theie intention of granting to the widow of Captain Slade the widow's pension of a Rear I Admiral, CaPttlin , Slaclo wars a 14 %4%144 of 1799, and when senior of the Latona distinguished himself in command of her boats, in cutting out a Dutch gun brig and two schooners, near Groningen, in 1799. He also served in the expedition to the Helder in the same year. He was made a commander in Sept., 1799, for those services, and attained the rank of captain on the 21st October, 1810. TrIE PRONOTION.—it is believed that the number of commanders to be promoted on the 9th of November will not be less than thirty, and the number of old and meritorious lieutenants fifty. 'We are informed that the gallant -and and highly distinguished Captain Sir S. J. Brooke Peahen, Bart., has not accepted the re tirement. Captain Woodford J. Williams, of the Avenger steam-frigate, has been appointed to command the Am phion, 36, gun-frigate, with an auxiliary screw propeller of 300 horse-power, at Woolwich. The officers of the Avenger, Lieutenants Sibbalk, Hawkins, and Clark ; Master John Tucker, Surgeon Dr. George Mackay, Paymaster and Purser John Breckwood, Assistant- Sur geon John T. Robinson, Second Master John Fiddes, &c. together with the crew o f th a t steam -f r i gate, having been turned over to the Amphion, the Avenger will be laid up at Portsmouth after sbe is repaired. Master John Pascoe (1842), from the Eurydice, 26, to the Scourge, steam-sloop, vice Godden, sick. The papers contained last week the promotion of As sistant-Surgeon Jones, to the rank of surgeon. We can not find any assistant-surgeon of the name of Jones on the Navy List. Assisiant-Surgeon Dr. Harry IL Turnbull (1838), of the America, 50, Captain the Hon. John Gordon, has been promoted to the rank of surgeon. Second Master.—H. J. Cunningham?, acting of the Gladiator, steam-frigate, has been appointed to the Raven, cutter, rice W.F. Rains, to the Penelope, steam frigate. THE NAVAL MEDICAL SUPPLEMENTAL FUND.-At a late meeting of the directors of tho Naval Medical Supplemental Fund it was resolved that a special general meeting should be convoked on the 29th instant, to elect a secretary. Captain Codrington arrived at Devonport on Sunday, and took up his commission that morning as commander of the Thetis, 36. The Admiralty have ordered the Brazilian frigate Constitutional to be repaired at Devonport dockyard. Her defects are extensive. • The Scourge, steam-Sloop, Commander Caffin, arrived at Devonport on Saturday from Portsmouth, with some marines for the Stromboli, and sailed on Sunday for Rochefort, to bring home some distiessed British sub jects there. The Stromboli, steam-sloop, Commander Fisher, has had her defects completed at Devonport, and has coaled. She was to have left yesterday for Cork. The Pluto steam-vessel, Lieut.• Commander Lowe, was caught in the gale'Of Wednesday last, on her way from Limerick, with supplies of provisions for Kerry, but was enabled to lie to at Tarbert. The Swallow, steam-tender to the Madagascar store ship, Commander Green, in the Shannon, and com manded by Second Master Bryant, left Limerick on Tuesday afternoon with a supply of provisions for the in terior of Kerry, and was caught in the furious storm of Wednesday morning, in which she was driven ashore by the force of wind and waves at the entrance of the Askeaton river, where she now lies high up at low water. The vessel is also reported to be strained, if not bilged. THE STEAM-SHIP RIPON. DEPARTURE OF THE INDIA MAILS AND PASSENGERS: - ------ The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com pany's steam-ship Oriental arrived in Torbay, from Southampton, on , griday night, at h a lf-p as t t en o ' c l oc k, and the mails and' passengers, with their baggage and the packages for India, were transhipped to her from the Ripon in the course of Saturday. 'The Oriental started from Torbay, for Malta and Alexandria, on Sunday, the 25th instant, at half-past seven o'clock, A.M., with a fair wind and fine weather. The Ripon left Torbay at the same time under her own steam, steered by guys upon the after part of the rudder, and arrived off South, aropton water at seven o'clock in the evening. Her Ma jesty's steam ship Cyclops, and the company's steamer Queen, accompanied her, but their assistance was not required. A new rudder is being made for her, and sho is fixed to take the mails of the 20th of November. All accounts concur in stating that the Ripon proved herself a most easy and excellent sea boat during the gale in which her rudder gave way. The following letter has been received from the pas sengers, and Colonel Horne, in transmitting it to the managing directors, "expresses his regret that the bustle attendant upon the change of vessels had prevented a great many from adding their signatures, who, from the general feeling of satisfaction which existed, might rea sonably he supposed as concurring in the sentiments ex pressed." (corit.) " Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's vessel, the Ripon, Torbay, Oct. 24, 1846. Nine A.M. '" To the Chairman and Directors of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. Gentlemen,—We, the undersigned passengers, who quitted Southampton on beard your new steamer the Ripon, on Tuesday,' 'the 20th inst., and who are now about to proceed in the Okiental, desire to express to you our feelings of gratitude for, and admiration of, the conduct of Captain Moresby, as well as of his officers and crew, during the perilous situation in which we were placed (luring the whole of the 21st in s t., an d t o t en d er our acknewledgrnents to you and your acting manager foe the prompt and strenuous exertions made to obviate the inconvenience occasioned by the disabled state of the Ripori:' That we should at this early period have the Oriental, with an attendant smalfsteamernfongside, and almost all our baggage transhipped, though it is now only 48 hours since our, first communication with the shore after our disaster, is ample proof of the ac tivity and judicious arrangements made by your managing directors on this emergency.

Tho deputation froethe doininittee of the Spanish Bondholders Association has',. since its arrival in Paris, been greeted with the warmest sympathy, and,with ofFors of support from all quarters. Lord Brougham has taken a most active part, as will be . seen by the fottoWingletter; which he addressed to Mr. Chard, one of the deputa tion:— " Cannes, Oct. 14, "Lord . Broughitin . presents his compliments to Mr. Chard. 116 received his letter this morning, and he has written as strongly, and indeed urgently, to the French Minister as he possibly could. Lord Brougham takes a deep interest in the success of the application, both on Mr. Chard's account and because he considers it to be the cause of justice. He will be most happy to do what ever else, either in Paris or in Parliament, Mr. Chard and his colleagues deem likely to further their most righteous claims. Having, hOwever, no kind of interest himself in the affair, Mr. Chard will be pleased to wait on M. Guizot as soon as he arrives in Paris, and send in his card, as recommended by Lord Brougham. Lord Brougham desires to be informed of the way Mr. Chard thinks he can serve his suit." Lord Normanby has stated his willingness to receive the deputation at the Emba , sy, and the Dutch com mittee of Spanish bondholders have addressed them a letter in which they say they are about to send delegates who will meet them at Paris.
