SOIREE AT SIR ROBERT PEEL'S. Sir Robert Peel possesses and resides in a beautiful house, too, near to the Thames ; a number of choice paintings, in the finest taste, richly adorn this residence. His Majesty the King of Saxony having accepted an in vitation to dinner at Sir Robert's, we proceeded thither from Buckingham Palace, at eight o'clock. I was curi ous to know whether any signs could be discovered on Peel's countenance, after the Ministry had been defeated to-day (June 15, 1844), on a motion of Parliament, that even the existence of the Ministry itself was in danger ; but 1 could only discover the usual prudent serenity which I had observed on former occasions. After dinner there was a grand soirée, to which Sir Robert had not only invited a number of the diplomatic body and nobility, but also almost all the most distinguished literati anctartists at present in London. All the apart ments were thrown open, and I divided my time be tween viewing the remarkable objects upon and within the walls. Of the first, I was firmly detained among the modern artists by a large picture by Landseer, repre senting a little daughter of Sir Robert's with his large, shaggy dog. The child has just arisen from her bed, and is still in her night dress, when the good-natured animal, which is accustomed to the child, comes to her, and as she is delighted to see the dog, and loves him very much, she embraces him tight in her arms. The whole is very touching, and splendidly painted. I next turned to the portrait of Dr. Johnson, by Reynolds. I had already seen many pictures by Sir Joshua, that were much prized, and of little importance, but this was the first which exhibited him to me as a good painter. Of the elder painters, the Dutch par ticularly appeared in some of the most choice and rarest productions. At first, the celebrated Chapeau de Paille of Rubens, purchased by Sir Robert for an enormous sum, and truly of enchanting splendour. The elegant, beautiful countenance looks out quite temptingly beneath the feathered hat, and Reuben's colours have an enamel here which I have never observed in any other of his pro ductions. There was also a large Bacchanalian painting by him, of great value: two children, especially in the fore ground, were quite admirable. Also a broad waterfall, by Ruysdael, painted quite con amore; and a beautiful piece, by Cuyp, of cows in the water, almost as fine as that in Mr. Hope's collection ; and then, enchanting produc tions of Hooghe, Terburg, Van der Velde, and Wouver mans. I wished very much to be able to view these treasures at leisure, with daylight. Among the living remarkablei, I met here the Bishop of Norwich, Pro fessor Buckland, the Oxford geologist ; Hooker, the botanist ; Faraday, Herschel and his sister, who faith fully assists him in his observations and calculations ; the directors of the British Museum, &c. I was sorry to miss making the acquaintance of Landseer ; I learned that he was present too late. This selection, for such a rout, did all honour to Sir Robert Peel's mind and cir cumspection.—Narrative of Dr. Cams, Physician to the King of Saxony. BANK OF ENGLAND. (From last Night's Gazette.) An Account, pursuant to the Act ith and Sth of Victoria, cap. 32, for the Week eading on Saturday, the 3d day of January, 1846. THE UNITED STATES AGAINST THE WORLD.-AMERICAN STEAM NAVY. (From the New Yorh Herald.) In the present condition of our foreign relations no one can tell how soon negotiations may take such a turn as will involve war, however much we be opposed to it. In the event of such an occurreuoe taking plaee, how entirely inefficient would our present navy be to compete successfully with that of Great Britain! The British appear to have taken all possible advantage of the success which has attended ocean steam-ship navigation, and have added a great many war steamers to their navy, besides merchant steam-ships, which could at any mo ment be converted into formidable vessels of war, while our Government has almost neglected to avail itself of that formidable engine of recent discovery. Even if our foreign relations were of the most pacific kind, the best way to keep them so would be, to be well prepared to resist any attempt at hostility by foreign powers. The Oregon question will, we have no doubt, be set tled without resort to the ultimatum of nations ; but, sooner or latter, the tremendous conflict between the old world and the new, and which will shake the world to itacentre, will take place. The old European dynasties are eyeing with jealousy the gigantic strides of this country to unparalleled greatness—a greatness which Rome, in the height of her splendour never dreamt of ; and they see and feel the influence of our republican institutions on their rotten and decaying monarchies. They know and feel that every progressive step which we make in any element of national greatness acts as a retrogressive step to them, hastening their destined downfal. They are not unmindful of the fact that, from all appearatiors, we are in a fair way to swallow them up, and- that, sooner or later, they will be obliged, by the instinct of self preservation, to make a bold, determined, and united effort to crush these United States, and with them the hopes of the patriot and philanthropist all over the world. Every day the sun of heaven shines upon us brings us a day nearer that dreadful crisis. By the result of that conflict will be decided for thousands of years the fate of republics and of monarchies, in this and the old world; and in the result of that conflict the great expo riment, .that man is capable of self-government, will succeed or be for ever abandoned as a chimera. No person of judgment can doubt what the issue will be if we be but prepared for it. Hence, then, we imagine the necessity there is of our maintaining our position on the seas, for it will be principally by navel warfare that the conflict will be contested. _ _ We see France and England adding yearly to their already powerful navies, while the United States, which in national and commercial consequence is inferior to but one country in the world, has a navy only equal to some of the fourth or fifth-rate powers. In addition to this, oar commerce requires protection. While we were in our infancy our commerce was small and did not require much protection; but .we now are the second - commercial nation on the globe, and our navy should increase in the same ratio as our commerce, and give full and ample firo tection to it in every sea and ocean that it frequents. To do this effectually would require a large increase in our navy department. We are glad to find that the President is fully sensible of the importance of this sub ject, and has recommended it to the consideration of Congress, who, we hope and trust, will make some legis lation upon it. That an increase of our navy, and particularly of our steam navy, is called for both by the condition of our foreign relations and by the demands of our commerce to be protected, no sane man %ill dispute. The only question existing is the mar.ner in which that increase shall be made. With all due deference we will point out what we con ceive would be well calculated for this purpose. Some of our New York shipowners proposed to the Tyler Govern: ment to build a number of steam ships, or packets, to trade between the several ports of the United States and those of foreign countries, provided the Government would confer upon them the same rights and privileges that the British Government has conferred upon the Cunard and other lines of steam-ships owned in England. These vessels were to be constructed in such a manner that they could, in 24 hours, be converted into steam-ships of war, and for model, workmanship, and swiftness in sailing, equal to any of our splendid packet-ships ; and likewise, that in the event of the United States engaging in foreign war, these vessels were to become the property of the Govern ment at a fair sad reasonable price. _ _ This favourable proposition was not noticed by Mr. Tyler; having his hands full of petty business, such as intriguing for the succession, and supplying offices to his minions, and other contemptible business, he had no time to devote to the attention of this important matter. But now that we have an Ad ministration in power that is above such small potato affairs as intriguing for the succession, &c., which disgraced Mr. Tyler, we hope that the pro. position will be renewed, for there is no doubt but Mr. Polk will make leisure time to give it the attention it is entitled to. If this plan were adopted, we have no doubt that in an incredible short space of time we should have an addition to our navy of 20 or 30 steam war ♦essels, capable, when manned by our sturdy tars, of contending successfully with any vessels of the same or greater calibre, or any nation in the world.

SITGA.R.--To-day importers of West India Sugar were more inclined to realise, but submitting to a reduction on former rates of 6d to is per cwt, tempted buyers to operate with more freedom, and in grocery and refining descriptions a fair business was transacted ; the better qualities were, however, the most in request. EAST INDIA.-ThiS afternoon the quantity of Bengal Sugar offered at public sale amounted to 3,838 bags; the trade were desirous to operate, and nearly the whole sold at full rates. Privately 3,000 bags of Dobah have been disposed of at 503 to 58s, but principally at 52s to 53s per cwt for coloury soft yellow. FOREIGN. —Although importers of yellow Havannah are sellers at a further decline in prices, still buyers have been cautious in their proceedings, and by private con tract little business has been transacted ; at auction 1,517 boxes have been (Slued —the damaged amounting to 380 boxes were sold, but at rates exhibiting a decline on those of the highest point of the m irket, of 4s to 5s per cwt. White is neglected, and it is difficult to quote prices with accuracy There are sellers of white Brazil upon further re duced terms, still the business transacted has beta cx tremely limited, and only 50 chests of middling Bahia have been disposed of at 25s per cwt. Brown has been purchased with caution, by exporters and our refiners working under bond, although there are sellers at a fur ther t eduction of prices. The market for other deserip tions of foreign has a dull appearance, and price.; are on the decline. REFINED.—Te day Refined Goods were not much in demand for home consumption, still Standard Lumps could not be obtained under 655, and brown grocery 64s per cwt. MAURITIUS.—A considerable improvement has taken place in the demand this week for yellow, grey, and the better descriptions of brown ; prices have risen 6d to is per cwt, although the market has been more liberally supplied; common brown has however met with little attention, but at present cannot be quoted cheaper. COFFEE.--This afternoon Ceylon Coffee was wanted, but the stiff rates asked by the merchants operated against business, and at auction 1,680 begs were chiefly taken in rather above the value, that is to say, good or dinary pale at 50s. The part sold went at full prices— real good ordinary pale selling at 50s to 51s, good ordinary 495 6 d, low ord ragged 45 5, sea da aged 32s 6d to 525, country damaged 43s 6d. to 46s 6d, triage 40s, low s6s, black 12s to 13s.

TEA—Although there are further arrivals, still mer chants manifest firmness, and refrain from offering any at public sale ; the trade have come forward with in creased freedom, and an advance in the value of nearly every kind has taken place. In Congou extensive pur chases have been made, especially in the common and middling descriptions, a further advance in prices has taken place. Pouchong has been in excellent request, and prices are on the advance. Mulkey has been in good demand, and prices are looking up, the supply at market being small, There has been a large business transacted in Hyson; the low rates that prevail tempted the trade to get in stock ; the prices paid ex hibit an advance on those previou§ly quoted at 2d per lb. In Gunpowder the business transacted has been upon a more extended scale, but in the value little variation at present has taken place. Imperial has been sold to a fair extent. Young Hyson is wanted. In Hyson Skin the operations have been on a more extended scale. Flowery Pekoe is more wanted. MoLessEs.—To-day West India met with attention, and brought rather higher Fates ; 70 puns of good An tigua were sold at 24s per cwt. Cocoa.—There has been little desire shown to pur chase any description of West India, and although the market has been scantily supplied, still a decline in the value of is to 2s per cwt has taken place. Foreign is dull of sale, and there are sellers by private treaty upon lower terms. Sences.—lmporters of Malabar Pepper have been de sirous to realise this week, but submitting to a reduction on former rates of id per pound has occasioned the ele mend to be good. In Sumatra and Penang a fair busi ness has been transacted by private treaty, in conse quence of rather lower rates having been accepted. The limited business transacted privately in Nutmegs has been at prices showing a decline on those previously quoted of 2d per lb. Mace has been purchased with cau tion privately, and prices are on the decline. In Cassia Lignea the operations have been more extensive. In Pimento several purchases have been made privately, and the rates paid have been rather above those previ ously quoted. The market is, still scantily supplied. Ginger at present is not much wanted by exporters or the home trade, but holders are not inclined to take lower rates, and supply the market scantily. Cloves are held with firmness, and a fair business has been trans acted. Holders of Cinnamon are not inclined to take ,lower rates for any description. SAGo.—There has been a brisker demand, and pri vately several parcels have been disposed of at the for mer currency: the supply is less than it was. At auction 60 chests were sold at 32s to 33s for good middling small white Pearl. In Sago Flour the operations have been upon a more extended scale privately at les to 19s per cwt. SPIRITS.—The arrival of Rum since the commencement of the year has been 333 puns 553 hbds. Holders of Leeward Island are not inclined further to reduce their prices; but the purchases made have been extremely limited at 2s to 2s ld per gallon proof strength. For Calcutta the demand has been only for small parcels at is Ild to 2s proof with certificate. Jamaica is not to be obtained upon lower terms ; but the demand has been limited. The market has a very firm appearance for all descriptions of Brandy, and there has been a good business transacted. Geneva has been purchased with more freedom for exportation, and prices are firm. The value of English Corn Spirits is 105 6d per gallon nett cash ; but there has not been much business done. RlCE.—This afternoon 1,400 bags of Spanish Rice were offered at public sale, the soured was taken in rather above the value; fine bold clean white at 21s, good ditto 19s Gd to 20s, but the sea damaged sold, first class at 17s to 17s 6d, second ditto 16s, and third ditto 14s 6d per cwt. FRUIT.—The market has a dull appearance for Cur rants and Raisins, the grocers only taking such to supply their immediate wants, and it is difficult to make any sales. COCIIINEAL.—HoIders of Silvers submitting to a slight decline on last week's rates, tempted buyers to operate with more freedom, and the parcels brought forward were nearly all disposed of at and since the public sales. LAC DYE.—The business transacted privately has been upon a more extended scale, at former rates, but not above, low sorts selling at 5d to 7d, middling 8d to to ls, and superior is 2d to is 6d.

Such would be the effect if a terminus were established in 'arringdon• street. The value of property would be increased iu the immediate locality, while tradesmen would find 'that they would have more customers.—(Hear] hear.) They would be doing wrong if they opposed the offer, and he felt convinced that 'the Company would give them a proper compensation for the possession of what premises they were in need of. , By giving their assent they would show to the Corporation of the City of London, that they supported their views of the advantages of a terminus in the centre of the metropolis.

Mr. Hocking, of Endellion, a clergyman celebrated for his fine breed of pigs, has recently had the priests of Lanherne and Trelawny on a visit at the rectory house, and he gives fair promise of very soon ,joining the Roman Catholic Church. He says publicly that he has written to the Rev. Dr. Wise man, and if he has his sanction on some points, he will soon cease to be a member of the Church of England. During the time that the priests were on their -visit they held one or two public meetings at Port Isaac, which were numerously attended; and Mr. Hocking invited many people to dine and spend the day with them at his house. But as he had never been in the habit of doing this before, some of the respect. able farmers declined meeting them. We need hardly add that all Protestant worship has been long discarded in the church, and as a consequence, scarcely any of the parishioners attend. These facts must surely have come to the ears of our vigilant and good Bishop, but he appears to have slept over them, and while he pours out threatenings of persecu tion on the Evangelical divines who happoned to preach doctrines opposed to his views he lets the recreants of Protestantism undermine the belief of their hearers, without and interruption.—Plymouth Journal. ELY.—ELY AND PETERBOROUGH RAILWAY.—We understand that Sir Frederick Thesiger will shortly pay Ely a professional visit. Several landholders having refused the very liberal offers of compensation for land required for this undertaking, the Company have determined to leave the amounts to a jury. Already some of the parties begin to think that in attempting to draw the screw too tight, after payment of their costs, there will be but little compensation left, and they will learn, " a fair thing is a right thing."— Bury Herald. SINGULAR OPERATION. Some time ago two hedgers, of the names of Stevenson and Cavan, in the em ployment of Sir William Maxwell, Bart., of Monteith, were dressing a hedge for Mr. Robert Cumming, of this place. Cavan had rather more to do on his side of the hedge than Stevenson, and the latter, wishing to assist the former, reached as far as he could over the top of the hedge with his bill, but unfortunately at the first cut after doing so completely lopped off the middle finger of Cavan's right hand. Dr. Al‘Cormick was immediately sent for, but being from home did not ar rive till two hours afterwards. Mr. Thomas M'Kerlie, pre ventive officer, kept anointing the parts of the finger with Riga balsam, and upon the doctor's arrival he used a little of the same, and after some exercise of skill, got the two parts to fit exactly. He then wrapped them up in a piece of old linen, bandaged them, and left them so-for four days. At the expiration of that time the doctor examined the parts, and found that they had been united by the first intention, and that all was going on well, and expressed no doubt but that Cavan would have his finger restored to use. This anticipa tion of the worthy doctor's we are glad to confirm ; for now, at the end of the month, Cavan is at work again, and can use the finger as well as the rest of its compeers. So com plete is the cure that there is not even a cicatrix.—Ayr Advertiser. [ADVERTISEMENT.3—DeafnesI and Defective Vision Rellieved.—The undermentioned sent into the country free by post.-39.

ACCEPTABLE PRESENTS. — The present is hallowed by oneof the most delightfsl offices of friendship and affection ; the interchange of gifts as remembrances of the donors, and tokens of their esteem for the receivers. The most appro priate present becomes the first subject of consideration ; a merely useful one can afford no evidence of taste, while a pre sent possessing no claims to utility, shows a want of judgment. To combine these requisites, a more fitting souvenir cannot be suggested than Rowland's Toilet Articles, the Macassar Oil, Kalydor, and Odonto, each of infallible attributes. In creating and sustaining luxuriant silken tresses, Rowland's Macassar Oil is highly and universally appreciated; Rowland's Kalydor is a preparation of unparalleled efficacy in improving and beauti fying the Skin and Complexion ; and Rowland's Odonto, rn Pearl Dentifrice, is invaluable Gtr its beautifying and preser vative effects on the Teeth and Gums. The august patronage conceded by our gracious Queen, and the several Sovereigns , of Europe, together with the beauties which adorn the circle of princely and regal magnificence, and the confirmation b 3 experienc e o f t h e infallible efficacy of these creative renovating specifics, have characterised them with perfection, and given them a celebrity unparalleled.

SIR BROOK BRIDGES AND THE EASTRY UNION. (From the Rent Herald.) Our readers will peruse with surprise and indignation the following letter from Sir Brook Bridges, Bart., of Goodnestone, in this county, addressed to the editor of a local Contemporary:— Sir,—Observing in your paper of this day a state ment that the inmates of the Canterbury Workhouse were regaled on Christmas-day with " roast beef and plum pudding," and that the inmates of " other unions ' in the county received the like treat, I hasten to correct the impression which the public might derive from such a statement with regard to the Eastry Union, as the guardians of that union thought proper to refuse permission to the supply of a provision of the above-mentioned fare, ten dered by one of the guardians at a board meeting on behalf of some charitable individuals, who had put it in his power to guarantee the requisite funds. If you Will insert this letter in your next number, you will much oblige, Sir, your obedient servant, BROOK W. BRIDGES. Bowling, December 30th, 1845. From this it appears that the benevolent intention of the worthy Baronet and his friends to supply the inmates of the union house with one good dinner in the year, with some old English fare on Christmas-day, was frustrated by the guardians, who absolutely prohibited i!s reception I This appears almost incredible—a piece of wanton bar barity almost beyond comprehension. There surely must be some mistake in the matter. We wait to hear the guardians' explanation. If the fact be uncontradicted, if there be no mistake, if the cruel prohibition really took place, can the guar dians, can the supporters of that new poor-law which gives such power or creates such a tendency, wonder at the feeling of alienation which exists between the la bourer and his employer, between the poor and the richer classes ? Deep and deadly must be the feeling of ani mosity which such treatment of the aged and th 2 unfor tunate will necessarily excite. LONDON AND WINDSOR RAILWAY COMPANY.—It is with much pleasure we notice the statement which appears in our advertising columns, of the position and prospects of this Company—not with any knowledge of the feasibility of the scheme, for of this we know no thing—but on account of the open, candid, and honest manner the Directors meet the subscribers. The system of economy adopted, the explanation which accompanies the financial statement, and the means used to check any other than legitimate speculation, combine to pro duce an impression of security and good faith on our minds, which, in too many schemes of this nature, if we may judge from the recklessness of expenditure by the officials, has been glaringly deficient. —Bridgewater Times, Jan. 8.

TUB UNITED STATES AND ENGLAND.—Every packet-ship leaving this port for Liverpool is filled with our agricultural products, and it is highly interesting and grati ying to see the great and rapidly-increasing variety of our shipments. The packet-ship Fidelia sailed yesterday for Liverpool with the following cargo :—Outward cargo of the ship Fidelia for Liverpool-441 bales of cotton, f 1,250 barrels of naval stores, 1,000 barrels of flour, 775 barrels of apples, 50 barrels of provisions, 325 tierces of provisions, 1,050 boxes of cheese, 25 casks of oil, 126 barrels of lard, 11 hogsheads of lard, 300 barrels of iron ore, 114 bales of wool, 310 kegs of lard, 9,000 hogs heads of staves, 327 salt d hides, 30 bundles of leather, 16 barrels of jewellers' sweeps, 308 bags of beans, 38 crates of onions, and 14 cases of merchandise. Cotton ap pears to be a small item among this variety. In conse quence of the quantity of flour, provisions, &c., offering for shipment, freights rule very high. A few years since our packet-ships were compelled to load with cotton on their outward voyages or go out in ballast ; now, notwithstanding the increase in the number of packet and transient ships in this trade, they all sail with full cargoes, The most extraor dinary shipment in the Fidelia is the 300 barrels of iron ore. Onions, beans, and leather are very unusual exports from this country to England, but we have no doubt in a few years they will be staple shipments. There is a very large trade growing up between this country and Great Britain in provisions, and our agricultural exports alone must soon ex ceed in value the aggregate cost of our imports.—New York Paper.

IRISH RAILWAYS. MIDLAND GREAT •WESTERN RAILWAY-RAISING THE FIRST SOD BY THE LORD LIEUTENANT. OA Thursday the interesting ceremony of raising the first sod of the Midland Great Western Railway was performed by his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant, in the presence of a numerous, fashionable, and influential assemblage of spec tators. The grounds immediately behind the Royal Canal House were enclosed with ropes, and numerous flags marked the boundary of the noble terminus which is to be constructed at that point. The day was beautifully fine, and the crowds collected on the banks of the canal, overlooking the ground, showed by their acclamations the deep interest which they felt in the undertaking. At half-past one o'clock the Lord-Lieutenant, accompanied by Sir Thomas Fremantle, Chief Secretary ; the Hon. Colonel Talbot, Mr. Robert Peel, A.D.C. ; Major Atherly, A.D.C. ; and several other gentleman, made his appearance, and was loudly cheered. At this time we observed amongst the company the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, the Marquis of Westmeath, the Earls of Roden and Erne, Lord Dunsandle, Chief Justice Doherty, the Chief Baron, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Sir'E. Blakeney (commander of the forces), the Solicitor-General, Abraham Brewster, Esq., Q.C., Colonel Jones, C.E., Hon. Col. Talbot, General Wyndham, Colonel Browne, Hon. Mr. Preston, Thomas Fether6tone, Esq., of Bracklyn Castle ; John Ennis, Esq., Deputy Chairman of the Company; James Perry, and nearly all the other Directors. The band of the 41st regiment was in attendance, and en livened the gratifying scene with the newest airs. Arrived at the place marked out, Mr.'llemans, the acting engineer, presented his Excellency with the spade, with which he was to operate ; and having cut the first sod, and rolled it to the end of the platform in a workmanlike man ner, a gun was fired, and thousands of voices were raised in hearty acclamations. Lord Dunsandle, as chair Man of the Company, next cut a sod, and rolled it in the furrow to its destination. Then fol lowed the deputy- chairman, Mr. Ennis, Mr. Hemans, the engineer, and Mr. Jeffs, the contractor for the first twenty six miles out of Dublin. A salute of gulls followed, accom panied by renewed applause from the vast concourse on and surrounding the grounds. His Excellency and the company were then conducted to the board-room in the Canal House, where an elegant de - jeung was laid out iu Mitchell's best style. After ample 'jus tice had been done to the viands, The CHAIRMAN (Lord Dunsandle) proposed " The Health of her Majesty the Queen," which was drunk, with all the honours. The next toast aas The Qunen Dowager, illus trious by her rank, but much more illustrious by her virtues."—(Drunk with applause.) " The Health of Prince Albert, and the rest of the Royal Family," was warmly r.,- sponded to. The CHAIRMAN rose again, and said, that when he looked around and found himself surrounded by many of the nobi lity of the land, by the learned professions, by the represen tatives of banking-houses, and all the ether great commer cial intereQts—when he saw all those before him, he had reason to hope for the most perfect success of the under taking begun that day.—(Hear.) At any time that a pro ject for connecting the east and west of Ireland by a rail road would be commenced, it would be deemed a work of great national importance, but at the present time when serious loss had occurred to the potato crop—when the usual supply of food fur the poor was reduced in a greater or less degree, a work of this kind should prove of incal culable service to the poor. He hoped that the distress which, under ordinary circumstances, was to be appre hended, would be staved off by giving to the poor the means of procuring corn, which, he was happy to say, was most abundant at this season.—(Hear, hear.) On former occasions of ,distress, the Irish poor were relieved by Go vernment money, and the benevolence of individuals in Eng land sending their thousands and tens of thousands here; but he confessed lie did not like this source of relief at all tithes because extensive charity not uu f req uently engen deredidleness.—(Hear, hear.) The idle man had his wants relieved, and no difference was madel between him and the industrious man, who was compelled to seek relief, and felt himself degraded. The best way that relief could be diStributed in times of scarcity was by such works as that commenced by the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland to-day. —(Clieers.) This Company had already contracted for the first twenty-seven miles of the line out of Dublin for the sum of 70,0001. This large sum, spread over such a length of way, would give employment to hundreds of persons, who would feel they were receiving, not charity, but fair remune ration for their labour. According to the provisions of the Act of Incorporation they could only call for 51. a share every three months. If they could get in their money more speedily, the Directors would be in a position to place the entire line at once under contract, and so extend the employ ment of the people. The shareholders, however, did not like to be called upon too fast; they knew little yet of the Directors to whom they entrusted their money, and they could have had no experience of the remuneration they were likely to receive ; but when they saw the nobleman ap pointed by his Sovereign to the government of this country, taking such a deep interest in the undertaking, he did hope the shareholders would feel confidence in its soundness, and security for their property. They might rest assured his Excellency would not give his countenance to any work of the kind which he did not feel sure was based upon a solid foundation.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") After a few other remarks of a similar tendency, the Noble Chairman proposed " The Health of his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland." The toast was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm, and nine times nine. After silence was restored. His Excellency the LORD-LIEUTENANT then rose and said be felt very much obliged to the Company fur the honour which they had done him in drinking his health, and to the chairman for the very flattering manner in which he had been pleased to propose it. He could assure them that he had the greatest gratification in executing the duties which had been entrusted to him that morning, for he was convinced that nothing would tend more to the welfare and prosperity of Ire land than the establishment of railways all over the country. —(Cheers.) They would give employment to the destitute. They would open the markets to the artisan as well as the farmer, and by increasing locomotion amongst the inhabi tants, tend materially to the improvement and civilisation of the inure remote provinces. —( Hear and cheers.) These were well-known truths upon which it was unnecessary to dwell, and, indeed, he was not in such a state of health as to be able to do so. He would perhaps be permit ted to offer his congra tulations at the auspicious commencement which they had that day made, and also to express his best wishes for the prosperity of the undertaking.—(Cheers.) In conclusion, his Excellency proposed " The healths of the Directors and Pro prietors of that railway, and success to their undertaking."..._ The Noble CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and dwelt upon the economy and vast public advantage of the line. In con clusion he proposed " The Health of the Lord Mayor of Dnb lin."—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR expressed his acknowledgments in suitable terms. Mr. Ennis, the Vice-Chairman, proposed " The Health of Mr. Hemans, the engineer," which was drunk with applause and responded to - by Mr. Hemant. The CHAIRMAN then gave " The Healths of the Noblemen and Gentlemen who had honoured them with their com pany."—(Cheers.) The Marquis of WESTMEATH returned thanks. He raid that, as a resident landlord, he should express the great happiness which he felt in common with others at the prospect of such a work being carried in the interior of Ire land. With respect to the county of Westmeath and the terminus of the line, there were many present—Mr. Tuite and Mr. Ennis for instance—upon whom the honour of re turning thanks would more properly devolve. He had been sceptical at first as to the success of railroads in Ireland, a n d it was not until the present moment that lie had changed his opinion. —( Cheers and laughter.) He had now very sin cere confidence in the success of the line—(Cheers and laughter)—having very good reason to entertain that feeling in consequence of the statement made by his Noble Friend at the head of the table. There was no doubt that railroads were regarded by the resident landlords of Ireland as calcu lated to serve persons in evary relation of life, and looked upon also as the harbingers of prosperity and the precur sors of peace in the country,—(Cheers.) Mr. JAMES PERCY proposed "The Health of Sir Thomas Fremantle," to whom they were greatly indebted for his as sistance in enabling them to procure the Bill.— (Cheers.) Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE said that he had not at all ex pected that his name would have been mentioned upon that occasion, as there were many present who felt as strongly as he did upon the advantages to be derived from railway communication in Ireland, and were more deeply interested in it than even he was. He returned them his most cordial thanks, with the most unfeigned feelings of satisfaction and gratitude, for the very Uttering manner in which his Arbroath and Forfar ••••• •• • • Bristol and Birmingham . • • • • • • • • • • Chester and Birkenhead . • • • • • • • • • • Dublin and Drogheda • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Dublin and Kingstown .. • • •• • • Dundee and Arbroath . •• • • • • • • • • • • Durham and Sunderland . • • • • • • • • • • • • Edinburgh and Glasgow • •• • ••• • • • • • Eastern Counties and North Eastern • • Glasgow, Kilmarnock, and Ayr • • • • • • Glas ;ow and Greenock.. ......• Grand Junction • • • • • • • • • • • " • • • • • • • Gravesend and Rochester• • •• Great North of England •• • • • • •• •• •.

GLASGOW, KILMARNOCK, AND AYR. GLASGOW, THURSDAY AFTERsooN.--To-day a special meeting of the Proprietors of this Company was held at the station, Bridge-street, to consider and determine on certain extensions, leases, and agreements the Directors had agreed on, and which now waited for the determination of the Shareholders. The meeting, which was a numerous and highly influential one, was presided over by Mr. James M'Call, the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The report, of which the following presents the material features, was read : The document set out with stating that the meeting had been summoned for the purpose of submitting to the conside ration of the Shareholders the various schemes promoted by the Directors, and for the construction of which Parliamen tary sanction was intended to be sought - . The report then went on to notice that the various branches and extension-lines, for which notice had been given, were based on the expectation that the county of Ayr, from its mineral resources, was destined ere long to become one of the most important districts in the kingdom. This position being explained at some length, the report next addressed itself to an explanation of the branches and extensions in question, commencing with the line which the Directors considered of primary importance in the list—that from Paisley to a point in the present Kilmarnock Railway, principally to shorten the route from Glasgow and Paisley to Kilmarnock. It was stated to be excellently laid out, would give the Proprietors the command of the district, and was without tunnelling; and would give the greatest ac commodation to the important points to be connected. The report then proceeded to explain the route of the. line, and this, and what follows in relation to the other projects, con stitute the main and important features submitted by the Directors. It says :—" This line leaves the joint line of rail' way east and west of Paisley by two forks, and has branches to Barrhead, Ilousehill, Fenwick, &c. .A separate Company was some time ago organised for the purpose of making that portion of this very line which lies between Paisley, Ilurlet, and Barrhead ; and your Directors have considered it expe dient, in order to save Parliamentary expense, to enter into an at rangement for working and leasing this lime, in the event of an Act being obtained by the promoters; a portion of the stock of this latter Company will be also held on your account." " In connexion with the Paisley and Busbie line, your Di rectors contemplate a cross line, leaving the present Kilmar nock branch at the same point of junction, and running into the Duke of Portland's Kilmarnock and Troon Railway (now leased by this Company, and in course of being relaid with edge rails), at Drybridge, a distance of four miles. This line will, together with the one previously noticed, afford the most direct route from Glasgow and Paisley to Troon, Avr, &c. ; and also to Ireland (along the Belfast Union line). From nearly the same point on the Kilmarnock branch there is proposed another short line, formerly sanctioned by you, to Irvine, where it joins your main line and harbour branch, With a short offset into the Perceton coalfields. The length of this latter line will be about six miles; it will be cheaply made, traverses a district abounding in minerals, and will give an improved means of communication between Kilmar nock and Irvine, and also to Ardrossan. g• czE4 too t .g cS 480 515 965 280 1,028 2,487 3,799 1,880 955 " The branch to Irvine harbour has been in course of con struction during some months, and will soon be completed. " Your Directors will next bring under your notice their projected line from Kilmarnock to Strathaven, in length about 18 miles. This line is an extension of the branch to Galston and Newmills, submitted to you in April last; it leaves your Cumnock branch a short way out of Kilmar nock, following the upper valley of the Irvine to the summit of the country, from which it passes down into Strathaven. The country eastward, as far as Darvel, is thickly studded with population, and contains an inexhaustible supply of coal of the first quality, and of other minerals ; while the dis trict round the town of Strathaven also possesses many sources of traffic. A separate Company has been formed for the continuation of the line from Strathaven to the town of Hamilton ; with this Company your Directors have made an agreement, which will also be this day submitted to you for approval. Another line has been promoted, under the auspices of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company, from Hamilton to Edinburgh, thus completing and making perfect the chain of communication from Ayrshire to Edin burgh and the whole east of Scotland. " Your Directors have been induced to recommend that this line shall be carried forward to Strathaven, from the evident advantages of thereby securing the traffic of a thorough line, in addition to the local trade. "From the last-mentioned extension-line, your Directors also have projected branches to Lesmahagow, and up the Glespin valley to the Crawick branch of the Glasgow, Dull).- fries, and Carlisle Railway, with the view of completing the chain of railway communication. "Among the branches remaining to be noticed, your Di rectors beg to submit to you a short line to Linwood, of about one mile in length, leaving your main line to the westward of Johnstone ; and another branch from the vicinity of Dairy to Swinlees, about two miles long, which they believe to be necessary for the more complete accommodation of your pre sent traffic. There are also applications to Parliament for a slight deviation in the Cumnock line at Kilmarnock, which will prove advantageous • and also for alterations in the line of the Kilmarnock and advantageous; Railway, requisite to improve its curves, and to make it suitable for locomotive power. "The Parliamentary notices, also announce applications for power to purchase, or to lease and work the following railways, separately promoted, viz. :—The Paisley, Hurlet, and Barrhead Railway; the Ayrshire, Bridge-of-Weir, and Port-Glasgow Junction Railway ; the Hamilton and Strathaven Railway; the Glasgow and Belfast Union Railway ; and the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Rail way." . . . The Directors further asked the proprietors to confirm an agreement entered into for the purchase of the Glasgow, Paisley, and Ardrossan Canal, and instantly to renew their application to Parliament for the West of Scotland Junc tion line, to connect their railway with the Edinburgh and Glasgow, a step that they considered of the greatest im portance. The CHAIRMAN then addressed the proprietors in a speech of some length, dwelling principally on the necessity which there existecifor the Company carrying out a large and de - cided scheme of extension, in order to protect the interests of the proprietors from the competition with which they were threatened. He detailed an interview held some time back with the chairman of the Caledonian line, in which that gentleman expresSed the best feelings towards the Glasgow, Kilmarnock, and Ayr; but that Company had since taken the Glasgow, Barrhead, and Ayr scheme under its patronage, from which they could augur little favourable at present from that quarter. After going over several of the most prominent recommendations of the report, explaining the advantages which their carrying out would realise, the honourable gentleman sat down with reading the resolutions, which were but an echo of the document in question. A SHAREHOLDER suggested the submitting of the resolu tions separately, and not all at once, as proposed, which was agreed to. A motion was then made that the report just read be re ceived and adopted by the proprietors, and after a brief dis cussion, in which it was complained of that the report had not been previously printed and circulated among the pro prietors, the resolution was agreed to. Resolutions were then seriatim submitted, sanctioning the various extensions named in the report, and also the powers sought to purchase or to lease and work the Paisley, and Barrhead Railway, the Ayrshire, Bridge of Weir, and Port Glasgow Junction Railway, the Ilamilton and Strath aven Railway, the Glasgow and Belfast Union, and the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway. Mr. LEADBETTER, while these resolutions were under dis cussion, entered into a statement of the prospect of the two last-mentioned lines, which he represented to be very flattering. As the chairman of the one, and the vice chairman of the other, lie could assure the meeting that all had been done that was required to make their application to Parliament perfect, and in complete accordance with the standing orders. They would, if successful, operate as most important feeders to the Glasgow, Kilmarnock, and Ayr, and place the proprietors in a most commanding position. Ile moved in addition to the powers sought by the Directors in their report, that in the event of the Glasgow and Belfast Union having to construct an extension of their line from Stranraer, in consequence of the British and Irish Union failing to obtain their Bill, then that the guaranteed per tentage be enlarged to 100,0001. extra capital to that already agreed to. All these resolutions, in addition to others, to confirm the agreement for the purchase of the Glasgow, Paisley, and Ar drossan Canal, and to renew the application to Parliament for the line to cross the Clyde, so as to connect the line with . the Glasgow and Edinburgh, were agreed to ; the only dissen tient to the latter being Mr. Robertson, who strongly protested against the purchase of the canal. NORTH KENT. WALMEA, FRIDAY.—A meeting of the inhabitants of Walmer was held yesterday in the Vestry-room, at one o'clock, for the purpose of taking into consideration the various projected lines which will affect the town and neigh bourhood. Most of the inflential inhabitants were present— nearly the whole of the acreage of the parish-900 acres— being represented. During the last few days the Dover and Deal and the Deal and Dover Companies have served no tices on the trustees of four of the most important roads in the vicinity of Walmer, stating that, in the event of their lines receiving the approbation of Parliament, it will be ne cessary for them to carry their lines across them. These, as well as several other projected lines, pass through the parish of Walmer, but the North Kent, which is looked upon very favourably here, does not pass through the parish, but through those immediately contiguous to it. The Rev. Mr. HOLLAND, the vicar, was called to the chair. He said, however desirous they might be to protect their private interests, they must not lose sight of the advantages which the great body of the public would derive from a line of railway which would promote their interests. Mr. JAMES LEITH, a large landed proprietor, in the parish of Walmer, as well as in those adjacent to it, which will be affected by some of the proposed railways, called upon the meeting to consider the great injury which the parish would sustain by the Dover and Deal and the Deal and Dover Rail ways passing over four or five important roads, a circum stance which could not fail to prove detrimental to the commerce of the town. Besides, they would pass over all the most valuable property in the parish, particularly the Deal and Dover, one of the projects of the South-Eastern Com pany,. which would interfere with the most valuable property, both in land and houses, in Widmer. Thus its value would be diminished, and the interests of the town could not, con sequently, fail to suffer. The meeting was then addressed by Mr. Kendrick, and several of the most influential inhabitants, who supported the North Kent Railway, and disapproved particularly of the Deal and Dover and the Dover and Deal. Mr. HULK appeared on behalf of the North Kent Company, but took no part in the proceedings. Resolutions, approving of the North Kent, and pledging the inhabitants to support it in Parliament, and disap proving of the Dover and Deal lines, were then passed unanimously. On the motion of Mr. T. MAY, solicitor, of London, copies of the resolutions were ordered to be transmitted to the pro moters of the North Kent Company. DIRECT LONDON AND MANCEIESTER. Last night, at six o'clock, a numerous meeting of the pa rishioners of St. Bride, Fleet-street, was held in the vestry room of the church, to consider the notices received from the Direct London and Manchester, so the effect that several houses would be required, belonging to the parish, for the formation of the terminus in Farringdon-street ; Mr. N. T. Isherwood in the chair, senior churchwarden. Mr. SMITH, vestry-Clerk, read the letter which he had re ceived, which was dated the Ist of December, and which required an answer by the 6th of January. He stated that there were six houses in Farringdon-street, one in Shoe-lane, and the burial-ground, which would be required. He ob served that the decision of the vestry would at once tend t o show whether they approved or disapproved of a terminus comicg into the heart of the metropolis, and which he con sidered would be a decision of some importance, while there were differences of opinion on that subject. Mr. ORBARD and Mr. BIRD concurred with the vestry clerk as to the view he had taken of the question : - but which was objected to by Mr. Jolly. Mrs LO*E said that the parish ought not to hesitate in ex pressing an assent to the proposition of the Directors of the Company. There was no doubt but that where a terminus was established it was the cause of the great improvement of a neighbourhoode—(llear, hear.)
