The objects of this Association are twofold—the Insurance of Ships Mid theAdvanang of Money by way of Loan, secured by mortgage 'on shipping. Each-branch affords its own share of individual profit ; - but the two operations, judiciously combined, will evidently be pro ductive of highly remunerative results to the proprietary. . ;The Immense fortunes known to have been realised by individuals who have advanced money upon the security of shipping, with an stasignthent of the policy of assurance, afford the best guarantee of the soundntes of tffe - prtnciple upon which the Association Is founded. The almost incredible number of British shipping under mortgage, shown.by the books of .the Registrar-General of Customs, exhibits a .wide field Or the operations of the Association. The great bulk, if not all of these loans, have been obtained upon exorbitant terms by the small owner fiOni his .more wealthy neighbour, who maylook rather to the Obtaining possession of the vessel by foreclosure than to the eligibility of the security as an investment. The Association will advance a sum of money, in no case exceed - ing two-thirds of. the :vessel's value, upon the report of its surveyors ; which loan shall be secured by mortgage upon the whole ship and earnings by freight , the policy of insurance effected with the Asso ciation remaining In its hands until the termination of the period for'which the loan has been granted.

The import:ate of this project, both nationally and locally, has de termined its promoters to bring ,it before the public at the present moment, notwithstanding the difficulties which at first sight would appear to stand. in the way of its success. iiii The title ,f the scheme is sufficiently explicit to put the pul lie in possession 'of its merits without a detailed statement enum ating the A m rr . an , 'Latins are in i-L:, , -..s with the o.mi c.,,,,, for ii. eh .„,,i,,,,s chase, the pal completion of which will doubtless be ef- A fected at . very early peri . dil. 1 The Warwick and Birmingham Canal has, notwithstanding the opening of the London and Birmingham Rai way, yielded a di'idend of about 12 per cent..to its shareholders. By the conversion of the canal into a railway with the benefit of a terminus in the centre of the large town of Birmingham, a direct railway communication will be opened with the mpor , tent towns of Leamington and Warwick, at which latte place the proposed line will join the branch of the London an Bir mingham/Extensionlßailway Company, from Warwick to , Fenny Compton; thus, opening, by means of the projects lines through Buckinghamshire, a much nearer railway coma anica- 1 tion between London and Birmingham than the present one, ip addi-. don to conferring on the very important districts throug h which the line passes the benefit of railway accommodation, and which, is not now possessed by them. . I _ The proposed lina will be in immediate and close alliance with the Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester, the London and Birmingham Ex tension, and the 'Warwick and Worcester Railway Companies ; those Companies having agreed to subscribe a very considerable portion of the required capitol. . The necessary Flans and books of reference have been deposited,. and notices to landowners and others duly served; so that nothing can prevent the Company from applying to Parliament for its 'Act of Incorporation in the session of 1846. . Preference will.be given in the allotment of shares to parties locally interested, to shaTeholders in the Warwick and Birmingham' Canal; and the Rugby, Vinvrick, and Worcester, the London and Birming ham Extension, and the Warwick and Worcester Railway Conipanies, The time within which parties must apply fur Shares will expire on the 24th of Jasuary, 1846. In the event of the application to Parliament not being made in the session of 1846, the whole of the deposits will be immediately re tamed to the shareholders without any deduction for expenses or otherwise.

I.—The excitement occasioned by the to o m oot h o : ee truth h o t f . omraßkduuesress conversation—onehn mere aev boys,ri fi ei relating now nv en havingt (b u ) )neba, been u i n t i p e o d and the various caueans, political and anecdotLal, n the sulti , ct, even down to the j..kes of those established al ready declared " stale, fiat, and unprofitable," the at tention of the newsmongering world has been attracted sub ject so full of strange mystery and conjecture, as to form a romance of real life, which, if it lacks entirely the ingredients in such tales—the love and assassination, and' developement of human passions —is none the less full of interest and wonder—a tale almost incredible, were not the details, as far as established facts are con cerned, not...only warranted by the most undoubted au thority, but matters of notorious publicity. To tell the tale, however, I must begin ab ovo, and re late how a certain young Hungarian of Presburg, not overburdened, it would seem, either with sense or talent, or even other advantages, moral or physical, of the name of Flukey, was some months since requested by a great aunt, the widow of a well-known advocate of the same city, to seek some family papers deposited in a garret in her house. During his search for these matters, his attention, as it seems, was called by a friend who accompanied him—for his' - own powers of perception upon - the subject do not appear to have been .great—to certain documents which fell under their hands concerning persons of the highest rank in foreign countries. Roused to a sense- of a certain im portance to be attached to these papers, young Bracy takes possession of them ; and one set of papers is sent to his Majesty the King of the French. Of some im portance they certainly must have been ; for the offer of a recompense in money for their being dispatched to Paris having been rejected by the young man, the Order of the Legion d'Honneur is bestowed upon him by Louis Philippe, and an invitation made to him by his Majesty to become his' guest, if he 'should ever wish to visit Paris, and Go have all the expenses of his journey paid. The contents of another. set of papers, are communi cated to the families of the reigning houses of Baden, Lucca, and Tuscany, and this communication also has its value, for similar offers of pecuniary recompense orefnsv:uti Vienna, edpn,adE: from these various powers having been alike 'refused, orders from each of these countries are also bestowed upon the discoverer of the documents ; a gold snuff box, enriched with diamonds, is added by the Grand Duchess - of Baden ; and behold the young nameless un considered advocate now parading the streets of his na -1 tive town with four decorations dangling at his button , hole. To what the contents of these important papers may have related is the subject only of conjec ture, or, at most, of vague rumour. Those appertaining to the family of Orleans are said to have been letters written by the famous Philippe Egan* the father of the present King of the French, to an Austrian Minister, during the times of the French Republic; but what is their importance as regards the family at the . present day, can only be dimly divined. Those concerning the other ducal houses already mentioned have received from rumour quite another signification, and are supposed to refer to estates in Hungary, to which these families have a claim, until now ignored or forgotten by them, though what tie of relationship or affinity does not at all appear, and which, sold in troublous times for a mere trifle, and now of immeasurably greater worth, may,- according to the tenor of Hungarian law, be re claimed at the price ofAhe original sale, by the descend ants of the parties who originally possessed and sold them. The value however of such a discovery, if this conjecture be true, is more evident than in the previ ous case. How these papers, of so different and strange a nature; fell into the hands of the Presburg advocate in whose house they have been found so many years after wards, must necessarily be obscure ; but here again ru mour supplies the place of more authentic information, and we are told that originally in the possession of ai well known Austrian Minister, they were placed by him in the hands of the depository' at Presburg for secnrity and secrecy during the time of the invasion of Austria by the. French under Napoleon, and that, afterwards reclaimed, they were denied by the advocate ever to have been in his possession, though for what reason must again remaia a mystery. The tale, however, is not et done—the most extraordinary is still to come. Searching still further, emboldened by his discoveries, young Bulky stumbles some time afterwards upon papers nearly concerning the house of Austria. Armed with these documents, h came about two months since to Vienna, and there, as a recompense for his discovery, boldly demands the honour of being nominated chamber lain to the emperor—a distinction only bestowed upon persons able to prove their puro and unalloyed descent from ancestors of Heaven knows how many degrees, and make what is called their ahnenprobe, and ahnenprobe young Balcy can male none, for' his father' was a bourgeois advocate, his mother a butcher'S daughter. What these last docu ments may contain none, as yet know. Rumour is silent, and even conjecture holds its tongue in Austria. But the certain fact exist that the young unknown advo cate has been granted his bold demand, and now.dons the uniform of the emperor's chambarlain, and sports the significative two golden buttons, supposed to sup port the key emblematic of his office, on the back c)f lii; coat. However strange may be the adventures (.f Mastei Bilky of Presburg—however incomprehensible his fortunes, the tale is true and warranted. The moral of it may be that some people are burn with g-blden spoons in their mouths—perhaps to stop them ! Times Sir Robert Peel arrived at the Castle yesterday, on a visit to the Queen. The incessant rain during the day has prevented the Royal Foreily from being taken their usual exercise.

THE LATE COLLISION AT THE CHESTERFIELD STATION. CHESTERFIELD, SATURDAY NIGHT, JAN. 17.--01.1 Satur day afternoon. General Pasley, the Intpector-General of Rail ways, arrived at the Chesterfield station by a special train, accompanied by Mr. Bell, • the secretary of the Midlands, to inquire into the circumstances relative to the'cause of the seriOus, collision which occurred at the Chesterfield station on Tuesday last. • .The General minutely examined the line, and measured the width where the accident occurred, which was about 30 ards beyond the north end of the station. lie alto instituted' a rigid inquiry relative to the signals, it having been currently reported in. the neighbourhood of Chesterfield that tls., nun who,e duty it was to attend to the signals was absent,. and that consequently the signals were neglected. This -reilort turned out to be i ncorrec t ; it i s t rue th a t th e Porter irans , mile was absent without leave. for. whjeh be .was esSOe'*ided - try-inr. Cooper, the station-master, out he. lad go',..a man in /Gd xuorn to attend Co his duty. By the directiOn of General Pasley, 11Ir. Cooper sent for the whole of the men who were on duty when the collision took place, and accompanied by them •he went and inspected the signals, making the men explain what signals were turned on at the time. Mr. Cooper, the station master, was also minute* questioned on the subject, both by the General and Ir. Bell, the result of which was that he expressed himself thoroughly satisfied that the signals were most carefully attended to, knd exonerated Mr. Cooptr and the men under tins from any negligence as regards this most important part of their duty. The attention of General Pasley was - next directed as to the speed at which the down train was coining, when it was clearly proved that notwithstanding there is an incline of 1 in 40 the driVer was coma - 1g ata speed of 90 miles an hour, and that he only shut his - steam oft' when he arrived at the Metal Bridge, which is scarcely 2)0 yards 'from the station, and that the engine-Ariver actnally passed the south end of the station - at the rate of more than 20 miles an hour. As to the slippery state of the, rails, that had nothing what ever to do with the accident; for it was fully proved before Mr. Hudson, M.P., and the board of Directors at 72erby, as well. as to the satisfaction of Ge nera l P as l ov , that tliZ signals were wholly disregarded by the engine -driver, which was the whole and sole cause of the accident. • So satisfied are the Directors of the utterly reckless conduct of the engine driver, that he was dismissed the same afternoon, and told that he might think himself extremely fortunate that he had no lives to answer for. The engine to which this accident occurred is one made by Mr. Stephenson, and is the same which made the experimental trip on the narrow gauge trial between York and Darlington. It is only an'act of justice to the Midland Company to state that they have been exceedingly anxious that the fullest investigation should be gone into relative to the acci dent, feeling that it was only by Providence that no lives were lost or limbs mangled. Our correspondent is informed that after General Pasley closed his investigation, he ex pressed himself fully satisfied that the whole and sole blame rested with the engine -driver. MR. HUME. AND THE WHIGS. The following letter from Joseph Mime, Esq., ad dressed to Mr. Tait, publisher, Edinburgh, appears in the Edinburgh Chronicle : " Bryanston-square, January, 1846. "Sir,= - -I do not wonder that, at a distance, you should be at a loss to understand the causes of the late cbanges of Ministers, and of their movements, when we here cannot see any rational grounds .for the proceedings, as regards the Whigs at least.

The Whigs had, in the last three years of their administra tion, adopted' finality in reform measures as their motto ; had increased the expenditure of our war. establishment about three millions in each of these years beyond the re venue, which remained the same ; and'had riskted a general war in Europe by their proceedings against Mehemet Ali and Syria.

When, therefore, you hear of Lord Grey as the cause of the Whig Administration being broken up, do not believe it. The old Whigs would not act unless alone. And when Lord John found how he was placed, he very prudently resigned. Lord Grey has been made the scape-goat. " Much as we want free trade, we want peace more. With Lord Palmerston as Foreign Minister, the dread of war, from old recollection, would have been almost es bad as war itself.
