Il lustrated by 50 coloured Engravings, on the Anatomy of the Repro dactive Organs and their relative conditions in health and Disease. By SAMUEL LAWERT, M.D. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the 'University of Edin burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, Loudon, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man tKod, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment a d o pted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under th. personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few wally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to thegenerative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical awl academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are to requisite in the treatment of these CRAM Published by the Author, and may be had of J.

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS. The following tcathoonlal is another proof of the great effi cacy of tlils medletne 157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850. " Sir,—ln acquainting you with Vac great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'B GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, I feel that I am but perfolning a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. " About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout In my bands Arid feet. I had previously been subjected to every ye tiety of tilMate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in. Spain, Under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by these who know some thlng of this disease. " It was daring ono of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir ' teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I lest no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. "From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to vac is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement. " I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " GARRET FOSTER GILL. " To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand." For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tic-dolo reux, &c., &c., BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS are a sovereign remedy, contain neither mercury, opium, or any other dangerous drug, require no care whatever in their use, and for ra pidity of cure and complete safety have not their equal in the world.

The court was cleared at 10-40 a.m. for the members to deliberate on the evidence brought before them. On its being re-opened at 11-15 a.m., the Judge-Advocate, by order of the president, announced the charge against the prisoner to have been fully proven, and the sentence of the Court to be, that " he, the said Lieutenant God— frey Taylor, be severely reprimanded, and placed at the bottom of the list of the lieutenants of the Royal Navy? This case being disposed of, the Court then proceeded to try Mr. George Duff Gordon, clerk in charge of the Rosamond, on a charge of drunkenness, preferred against him by Acting Commander Crawford. The evidence in support thereof was conclusive, and the prisoner ad , judged to be dismissed the service. A court-martial will be holden on Mr. John Forbes, surgeon of the Rosamond, and at the present time in hospital, as soon as his health is sufficiently restored to enable him to undergo the ordeal. The chief engineer and boatswain were also to have been tried, but they have contrived to leave the country. The former is sup posed to have gone to Cherbourg to enter the French navy, in which he was formerly employed. The boat swain, it is stated, has decamped to America, to join the naval service of that country. EPRIcE SD. NAVAL FENCE. We are glad to hear that some very fine seamen are daily coming forward for entry into the navy. Captain Goldsmith has almost manned his steam-frigate, the Sidon, at Portsmouth ; and Captain Glasse has picked up a great many men for his steam-frigate, the Vulture, at Devonport. If skilled seamen were paid wages in proportion to wages paid to skilled mechanics, as they ought to be, there would be no difficulty in manning the navy. It is simply a pounds, shillings, and pence ques tion. Pay the wages and the men will be forthcoming quick enough. We believe that it is not proposed to enlist the 1,500 marines all at once, but that one-half will be raised in December and January, and the other half in February and March, so that by the beginning of the next finan cial year, when we trust we shall have our screw line-of battle-ships ready, we shall have a fine body of young marines to form part complement ; the expense of the additional marines will be about 110,000/. WOOLWICH, DEC. 3. APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenants.—Samuel Fowell (1842), to the Vulture steam-frigate, at Devonport ; Edward H. H. D'Aeth (1845), and Patrick Johnson (1847), to the Sidon steam frigate at Portsmouth • John Hanmer (1848), to the Dido, 18, on the Pacific station; Thomas C.

The Rhadamanthus was taken into dock to-day to have her bottom examined. The Imp4rieuse, 50, has been taken into dock, and was visited to-day by Mr. Watt, assistant to the Surveyor of the Navy, and Mr. Dinnen, of the steam department of the Admiralty at Somerset-house. PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 5. The Fairy Royal yacht, Captain Crispin, embarked their Highnesses the Duke de Brabant and the Count de Flandres, under the usual ceremonies, at the Royal Cla rence-yard, yesterday afternoon, and conveyed them to Osborne, on a visit to her Majesty. The Turkish Ambassador, M. Musurus, and the Tur kish Consul-General, M. Zohrab, arrived at the Portland Hotel, Southsea, on Friday, and in the afternoon in spected this dockyard. Yesterday 'morning his Excel lency inspected the Victory, Arrogant, Neptune, and Blenheim in the harbour, and was duly saluted as the representative of the Turkish nation by the Victory, Neptune, and Blenheim, each hoisting the Turkish flag at the fore on firing the complement of 17 guns. The Ambassador and Consul left yesterday afternoon at four o'clock, for 'London. Flag,Lientenant Pasley, the Commander-in-Chiefs barge, attended upon them while here. Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir Fleetwood Barrington • Reynolds Pellew, C. 8., K.C.H., is nominated to suc ceed the late Rear-Admiral Austen, C. 8., in the com mand-in chief on the East India and China station. He is second son of the the late celebrated Admiral Viscount Exmouth, and is aged 63, and only four from his vice admiral's flag, so that, if the regulation of resigning the command on promotion be observed in this case, he will have about entered upon his command when he will be superseded. DEC. 4. Commander Hyde Parker (1847), to command the Cruiser, steam-sloop, fitted with a screw-propeller and engines of 60-horse power, commissioned this day at Woolwich.

The Firebrand steam-frigate, Captain Edward Codd, was pa id off to-day at this port, and several of the crew left at once to join some of the steam-frigates recently commissioned at the eastern ports. There does not ap pear to be any unwillingness on the part of the men to serve again, as they have a conviction that the commit tee now sitting on the best means of manning the navy will improve their condition on board, and they say almost unanimously that if they only get their gill again they will not only be ready to serve, but also to fight if required, and follow their officers wherever they may SHEERNESS, DEC. 3.

Not one has v olunteered for any ship fitting out here, or at any other port. Her Majesty's screw steam-frigate Amphion, 34, one of the advanced steam squadron of reserve, will be com missioned at this port during the present week.

A Bill embracing the proposed objects of the present Company was before the last Parliament, when, after passing the Standing Orders and the first and second reading, it was submitted to the Select Committee on the Metropolis Water Supply. The Government and the other Bills occupied the attention of the Committee till the latter end of May, when this Bill was called on, and the evidence gone into ; but from the improbability of being able to pass the Bill through the /louse of Lords in that Parliament, and in order to avoid large and useless expenditure, by the advice of Counsel, it was withdrawn, upon the understanding that the same measure would be proceeded with in the next Parliament. The Metropolis Water Bill passed last Session removes all uncer tainty as to the extent of interference by the Legislature with regard to Water Companies, thereby enabling the Promoters of this Under taking to frame their measures to meet all the requirements of the New Act, and likewise to offer to the capitalist a perfectly secure means of investment. The Water of the River Wandle has long been celebrated for its great purity, and its recent analysis by eminent chemists, fully con firm the high character given to it by the late Mr. Telford and Dr. Rostock, in their examination by the Government Commissioners on Water Supply. Every Householder South of the Thames paying Water Rates, is aware of the propos ed arge for the present inferior and insufficient supply. The rates of this Company will be upon a much lower scale. It will thus be evident that upon the point of economy alone, they must command the preference of consumers; but when the purity of the water is considered, and that the :amply will be constant and unlimited, all competition will necessarily be su perseded. Although inordinate profits are not contemplated by th's Com pany, yet it is firmly believed, looking at the vast extent of the Surrey Dietriet, and the daily increase of buildings there, that the present undertaking will afford an immediate, sound, and steady investment for capital, with every prospect that the maximum di vidend, now aliowett by the Legislature, namely, 101 per cent., will be speedily attained ; proposals having already been made by largo consumers, to take several millions of gallons daily. After payment of the Deposit, no call will be made until an Act be obtained, in which it will he provided that no Call shall exceed U. per Share, or be made at more frequent intervals than three months. Applications for Shares to be made to the Brokers ; or to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, No. 28, Cornhill, where the plans and models of Mr. Thompson's SUBTERRANEOUS RESER VOIRS may be seen, and detailed information obtained.

Indeed, the best scheme in the World would come with ill grace from a man so long identified with an unpopular policy. But a budget is always safe to be attacked—for, first, nobody likes paying taxes ; then everybody has his hobbies on the subject; and then there will always be, as there has been for the last seven years, and as there is now, a strong party resolved to upset the financier, if possible by fair .means, if not, anyhow. These difficulties reach their climax when the said financier has attempted to do a great deal with a comparatively small sur plus, and has gone so far as to propose an actual re-adjustment of our burdens. In that case, the most dispassionate people begin to inquire how they are affected, and to strike a balance between the taxes to be laid on and those to be remitted Mr. Disraeli's own friends will think themselves very hardly used if the first result of their political suc cess is that they have, to pay more taxes ; and his opponents will be still less disposed to accept a loss at his hands. By consent of all financiers, no tax is so fair as an inhabited house duty ; but when it is considered that, under the proposed alteration, a 101. householder would have to pay 15s. as inha bited house-duty, and a 151. householder 11.25. 6d., it is easy to anticipate the opposition to be encoun tered. This class, too, besides its political power, has a power of another, and nom' serious_mLi--1 a power of nonpayment. Everybody V:n Everybody difficult it is to collect rates from small house holders. They are always in arrear—perpetually increasing beyond the hope of recovery. Law, par ticularly English law, avails but little where the stake is small. There is a proverb which tells us the utmost we may hope for when we take the law of a poor man. It is too vulgar for quotation, but the meaning is that we shall get what we would rather be without. This is the practical case of the 101. householder in the question of finance, and, even if we try to evade the difficulty by allowing the landlord to commute for the taxes of his tenants, as he already can for the rate 3, we only bring a new enemy into the field. But the difficulty is increased by the simultaneous extension of the income-tax to property at 501. a year and income at a 1001. In a treatise on taxation we certainly should expect to find two su.ch propositions advocatedtogether ; but in practice we should wish for, at least, a good interval. Abstractedly, no . _reason can be given why a man with an estate in land worth 1,5001., or with 501. a year in the Three per Cents., or in railway shares, should not pay income-tax as well as the country surgeon, or the curate, who just gets his 1501. a year, and contributes to the existing income-tax ? But, we repeat, justice is not always practicable in taxation. It is a question of expediency, of possi bility, of the strength of classes—of their strength to resist, as well as to bear—of their patience of their honour, and other moral peculiarities. Will it be possible to squeeze income out of merchants' clerks and ' small tradesmen of 1001. a year ? Hitherto we have admitted the justice of the pro posed extensions of taxes. As to another measure of the Budget, there seems to be a very general opinion, not of its injustice, but of its illegality. The nation has long decided a tax to the fund holder, notwithstanding the clause in the act of Parliameht which seems to protect him ; but then it taxes the funds in common with all other proper ties and incomes. It lays no special duty on thein. The Chancellor of the Exchequer seems to give up this very proper scruple when he extends the in come-tax to Irish funds, but not to land in Ireland. Surely he will see reason to set this right by includ- Mg the Irish landlords in his scheme. There are proprietors receiving incomes of fabulous amount from the soil of Ireland in well-paid rents, and with very little trouble : why should they not be made to pay as well as the poor creatures who are to be mulcted for their 100/. or 501. a-year in this country ? This anomaly strikes one all the more, because it is found in a budget which aims at rigorous justice, to the disregard of serious practi cal considerations. It's only as a just budget that it can be expected to make its way ; but the Chan cellor of the Exchequer must come into court with clean hands. He must deal justice all round, with out any exception. Let him tax the Irish land owner, and then our small shopkeepers and clerks may perhaps submit to be shorn with the rest of the flock. What is more, they may be compelled to submit, however little they may like it ; for the removal of the Irish exemption will entitle the Chancellor of the Exchequer to all the support Parliament can give him for the purpose. (From the Morning Herald.) We have now had time to learn, in a variety of ways, what is the public feeling with reference to the Budget. And we can say, w ith the utmost sincerity, that we should hold ourselves most guilty if we could present to the Ministry and its friends a false or flattering view of the popular feeling. Desiring, therefore, neither to delude ourselves or any one else, we have carefully examined the opinions which have been presented to us ; and we report most faithfully the result of one day's search to have been — a large number of persons greatly pleased with the Chancellor of the Exche quer's plan ; one displeased with it as too favour able to the land, and unfavourable to the town population ; and one lamenting that the Minister had not repealed the whole of the malt tax, aug mentingto Supply the deficiency. Unless, therefore, we have happened to fall in the income-tax with thirty or forty persons in the course of ten hours who gave an erroneous impression of the public opinion, we hold that the question: is decided. " The first day's poll," as far a s we can learn the result, is about 20 to 1 in favour of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. And We should arrive at the same conclusion from examining the various news papers. The daily journals of S a t ur d a y, even those which are most oppo se d to Mr. Disraeli, are com pelled, apparently , to ad mit the various merit s of his scheme. The Daily New s a n d Morning Adver tiser describe the p lan to be of the boldest charac ter. The Morning Chronicle, t h e mos t i n imical of all to Mr. Disraeli personally, i s f orce d to be, for the moment, sile nt. As f or the Times, it i s in ex tasies with the whole s cheme. U n less, therefore, mustil a r sourceeci of strength and popu a so me sudden light should break in upon the people, or some revolutio n take p l ace in their opinions, the y accepted. And, if ac cepted,For o bserve the vari ous b oon s it confers on so may different classes. 1.

Duke and Mr. Clay felt bound to express their instant gratitude. 2. Permission to the West Indian planters to refine sugar in bond—a concessi on equal ferential duty of Is. 6d per cwt. 3. The remission to the agriculturists of half the duty on malt, and of the war duty on h ops . 4. The concession to all trades and professions of one-fourth of the present inc ome tax paid by them. 5. The concession to the fanners and poorer clergy of a more just method of estimating their income tax. 6. The concession, to all classes of more than one-half the duty on tea ; which ;Fill reduce the price of good tea, in three or four years, to 3s. per lb . Assuredly there has b een no budget since the days of " Prosperity Rob inson," which has offered the people any concessions like thes e . Sir Robert : Peel's tariff of 184 2 wa s indeed a large measure but what a price was exacted for it in a property Whereas ail the tax of five millions per annum countervailing element in Mr. Disraeli's budget is simply a raising the ho use tax So per cent., calcu lated to produce one million per an num . It seems, therefore, to us, as it seem ed on Friday night, that this budget carries with it an assurance of success ; and that success is calculated to root deeply in popular opinion the wh ole system of the present Administration. 4. (From, the Morning Chronicle.) Mr. Disraeli commenced his long financial expo sition with a declaration of his desire to dispose, once for all, of every claim to preference or compen sation which could be urged on behalf of the so called suffering interests. Hereafter, lie said, we shall be able to regard the community as a whole, and to confine our attention to the purely econo mical reasons which ough t to influ e n ce fiscal legis lation : but let the weights be at this point re adjusted, that we may all start fairly. It is evident that the proposal to inaugurate the establishment of an impartial policy, by the concession of certain class privileges, tended to reopen the whole controversy the termination of which has been so repeatedly announced. fair start took place when the removal of monopo lies left capital and industry free to exert their own energies. The abolition of those restrictions which amain is only a question of time and opportunity. every class has a right to claim fiscal justice ; but no peculiar boon can be conceded to those interests which only complain that they are no longer unduly favoured. He tauntingly challenged the opponents whose principles he had professedly adopted, to prove the sincerity of the regard which they profess for the interests of the consumer. No Free-trader will hesitate to respond to the appeal whenever a practical opportunity for carrying out his principles is afforded. The only question is, how consump tion is to be most effectually relieved, and what relative priority is to be given to the rival classes of consumers. A collector may have a genuine love for art, without being eager to purchase the first picture that comes in his way. With limited funds at his disposal, he necessarily exercises the right of choice : and he is particularly careful to suspend his judgment when an offer is made by a dealer whose motives are more than questionable. Before Mr. Disraeli had fairly concluded his appeal to the friends of the consumer, he turned round to demand in a more conciliatory tone, the grati tude of the malt-producer. It is not, therefore, solely to make malt cheaper that the tax is to be reduced, but likewise—so, at least, the Chancellor of the Exchequer wishes the agriculturists to be lieve—to make barley dearer. The framer of the Budget has perhaps no definite opinion as to the proportions in which the farmer and the beer drinker are to divide the spoils of the Exchequer. In suggesting an objectionable motive for his pre ference of the malt duty to other indirect taxes which might have been reduced or repealed, Mr. Disraeli justifies unbiassed observers in at least suspending their judgment in favour of a selection ;rat hv hist own adunission.,ja_Mt impartial. On the expediency of the measure a acisiOn can only be formed after full consideration, both of the alternative schemes which might have been de vised, and of the accompanying arrangements of the Budget. ' Grave objections exist both to the details of the plan for modifying the duty, and to the principles which are involved in the projected assessment of the income-tax. At present it seems doubtful whether any considerable portion of the Government scheme is likely to be ratified. by Parliament. (From the Daily News.) When Lord Thurlow was informed that Sir John Scott, afterwards Lord Chancellor Eldon, had employed nine hours in opening the indict ment against Hardy—" By heaven, sir " he ex claimed, " then there is no treason." Nine hours were not required to state facts—they were wanted chiefly for mystifying the jury ; and had our Chancellor not thought more of mystifying the public than that of explaining the facts of our financial condition and expounding the policy of the Cabinet, he would have been able to com press his speech into a fourth part of the time he occupied on Friday. For nearly one hour he dilated on the hardships of the shipping interests, on prospective measures for its relief and pro spective committees of inquiry, leading possibly to some improvement in pilotage and ballasting, and to a relaxation of the old compulsory regulation to have three-fourths of every ship's crew her Ma jesty's subjects—all points comparatively small and quite foreign to the great theme he had in hand. For another hour he expatiated on what he did not mean to do for the West Indians and the English landowners, the sum of which was that they have no just ground of complaint :—yet, neverthe less, he means to permit sugar to be refined in bond, at a great expense to the revenue, without any ade quate advantage either to the refiner or the public, and proposes a reduction of the malt and hop duties, to relieve the suffering agriculturists, who, as he showed, have been benefited, not injured, by recent legislation. The remainder of the five hours was oc cupied by the financial statement, and by sundry epi sodes on the condition of Ireland,—tho defence of the country,—the advantage and necessity of keep ing up efficient establishments, —prospective admi nistrative reforms,—and on other topics that might distract attention and prevent the house .from per ceiving how empty, meagre, unsatisfactory, vexa tious, and unjust are his long heralded financial projects. Small as is the actual pecuniary relief he proposes for the shipping interest—less than six pence per ton per annum—that sum appears in his estimates for the year 1853-4, and calmot . reach the shipping before the middle of the ensuing year ; white, with the exception of salvage and the Admi ralty regulations, the other promised benefits await the inquiries of committees yet to be appointed, and of commissions not yet completed. Further, to help the shipping and promote unrestricted competition, he is to remit immediately a portion of the Tea duties, 4d. per pound, on which he expects the revenue will lose 400,000/. ; but he overwhelms that by proposing to inflict on us at once an additional House tax, which will yield him I,loo,oool.—about three times as much. The proposed reduction of the Hop duty will not take place till 1854, for all the Hop duty of 1853 will be due before October Ist of that year, and the Chancellor only includes the reduction ion the revenue of 1854-5. Nominally, however, the re duction is to be made in conjunction with the re duction of the Malt Duty on October 1, 1853 ; and it is somewhat remarkable that the maltsters, who have no more reason to complain than any other manu facturers, are to be encouraged to extend their operations by the promise of 1,000,0001. as draw back; while the hop growers, who do complain, are to receive no drawback and no relief till 1854. All his remissions of taxation therefore, with the ex ception of the tea duty, are prospective ; the in crease of taxation —cunningly kept out of view till the house was warmed by the promises of prospec tive reductions —is at once to be carried into effect. The sum of this wonderful Budget is a prospective relief to the shipping interests, a permission to re fine sugar in bond, a present reduction of duty on tea of 41d. per lb., and a prospective reduction in all of ls. 21d.; a prospective reduction of the malt and hop duties, and an immediate increase of the house tax. Thereto is added some manipulations of the property and income-tax that scarcely make it more beautiful. Sir Robert Peel, to whom Mr. Disraeli has been unluckily compared, did not make much more than half as long a speech in 1842, when he changed the basis of our system of taxation, abolished prohibition, reformed the tariff, and restored a decaying revenue to health and a discontented nation to prosperity. (From the Morning Post.) One of the greatest difficulties against which this budget has to contend, in finding its way into pub lic favour, is unquestionably the exaggerate d pro portions which the cloudy uncertainty of distance had lent it while it loomed on our vision from the dark shadows of the future. Then every man shaped it according to his fancy, or his wants rather. To one it appeared like a weasel—to an other like a camel—to a third it was " backed" like a camel, and to the shipping interest it seemed " very like a whale." Each of the gazers on the coming cloud felt convinced that it contained all that was necessary for " his interest," and there were not a few who fearlessly announced their con victions that it would accomplish everything for everybody's interest—that it would lighten the burthens of all, without adding to those of any, and tilt our million a-week of revenue would be raised by means of a vastly diminished taxation, brought about, in its turn, by some mysterious process called a re-distribution of public burthens. Under one or other or all of these illusions the public mind laboured in a greater or less degree. No one man, probably, who had arrived at the years of discretion, was , in his single judgment, carried away by notions so preposterous ; but the sympathy of general folly whirled him into the common stream and down he went with the rest in the heady . current. that theta . rdy The diminution of the duty on . tea is a t and judicious measure, and . assuming growth of the tea plant is truly connected with the limited breadth of soil on which that plant is grown, then the gradual p rocess by which the proposed reduction is to be completely effected is also a wise and prudent mod e of effecting the object. The re newal of the income tax for three years, after the remission of half the malt tax and half the excise duty on hops, was sity. The proposeda m . easure of unavoidable neces increase to the warlike forces of the country will meet with universal, or at least veryigeneral, approbation. Considering the armies a nd fleets of Russ i a , America, and Austria—to say nothing of France —and considering the vast extent of our territory, an . d . the incredibly limited number of our naval and military power, what is now pro posed, so far from being too much, is not enoug h t o meet the national requirements, much less to fulfil the expectation of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer. There remains yet many points to be e xamined, but we cannot go farther to -day. Op portunities will abundantly recur for the further discussion of this budget, framed by a Conservative Minister on the principles of Free tr ade.

SOUTH DEVON EXTENSIONS.—The Plymouth and Tavistock proper having obtained a subscription list sufficient to enable it to pass the standing orders, the South Devon has further ratified its prospects of suc cess by obtaining contractors to carry out the whole of the works at a price within the estimated capital. It has also taken a perpetual lease of the line at a rental which secures to the shareholders, after the first two years, a minimum interest of 3 /. 15 s. per cent., with two-thirds of surplus profits. Such being the case, the proprietors will not be surprised to learn that Mr. Gill's scheme is to be opposed from the outset ; a committee of directors from the Great Western, Bristol, and Exeter, and South Devon, having already begun, with Mr. Brunel, to scrutinise whether or not the Okehaeap ton divergence has complied with the standing orders.— Railway Times. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY DIVIDEND.—It is be lieved that the forthcoming dividend will be ss. per share, though, if possible, it will be strained to ss. 6d. SOUTH MIDLANDS RAILWAY.—It is said that this project has sustained a heavy loss by the death of Sir J. J. Guest, as one of its patrons. SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—Mr. Bulkeley, formerly the secretary of the Eastern Counties Railway, has bees selected to succeed Mr. Wyndham Harding as secretary of the South-western Railway. It would have been difficult for the company to choose a more honourable and gentlemanly man th an Mr. Bulkeley, judging from what he was when at the Eastern Counties. --literapath's Journal. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN AND NORTH STAR FORDSHIRF, RAILWAYS.—The arbitration of Mr. Hope and Mr. Stephenson would at length seem to have been effectual, both companies having announced meetings to "approve or otherwise" of the recommendations of these gentlemen. The proprietors of the London and North western being thus afforded an opportunity of con sidering the desirableness of increasing the number and burden of their leases, we may perhaps acquire some information on the p oint why, the North Staffordshire being considered worth only three and a half per cent., the Shrewsbury and Chester should be offered four and. a half. As the two lines exist at present, independently, as well as in closeness of relation to the London and North-western, the Nurth Staffordshire is decidedly the most valuable of the two, more especially as half of the Shrewsbury and Chester may be obtained at its precise value. —Railway Times. THE PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. The annual meeting of this company was held on Saturday, at their offices in Leadenhall-street ; Captain Thornton, R.N., in the chair. The report of the court of directors was read and unanim ousl y adopted by the proprietors, as was also a resolution recommending tho payment of a dividend of 4 per cent. clear of income-tax for the half-year ending 30th September last, tors payable on and after the 23d instant. The pprie un derwriting account shows a balance at 30th Se dptem ber, 1852, of 29 , 042/. is. sd.,out of which the irec tors recommend a payment of 11. per old share, and a proportionate amount for every new share, early in the ensuing year, to each proprietor on the number of shares for which he may be entitled to the dividend now about to be declared, which, it is estimated, will amount to 22,5001., leaving a balance to the credit of this account of about 6,5421. ls. sd. to be carried to the next year's account. The steam-fleet of the company now comprises 27 vessels afloat, 11 building, and 4 store ships, in all 42 vessels of 53,850 tons and 14,290 horse power, estimated when all completed to be worth upwards of two millions sterling. The directors purpose, on the commencement of the new postal service in January next, to lower the rate of passage money between Europe and the East. Very satisfactory reference is made in the report to the establishment of a Marine Life and Casualty Mutual Assurance Society at Southamption, the objects of which are to enable the officers, seamen, and engineers of the company to insure their lives at moderate premiums, as well as to provide for themselves annuities wlien age or accident may render them successful,.rsaervlacreg.e Thisn plan has hitherto been very company's ber lof seamen, and others in the t u t i havingon. employ, availed themselves of the advantages of the insti.
