A receipt will be given for the same, which may after- Wards be exchanged at the Company's Office for new Scrip on giving up the old Scrip. By order, FRANCIS CLOWES, Secretary. 44, Finsbury Circus, April 14, 1846. LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY. To the Scripholdere and Subscribers to the Deed of the above Company. A Committee of filhareholders'in the London and York Railway has been formed, with the view of considering the prospects of this line, and whether anything can be done to lessen the responsibility of the Shareholders, or in any way improve their position. The Committee view with alarm the daily depreciation which is taking place in the market in the shares of all new lines, and that this depreciation increases in the shares of thole Companies which are most likely to obtain Bills. The expensive contest in Parliament of the London and York Com pany must absorb all the deposits. If the Act be obtained, calls must immediately follow; and the msJority of the scripholders will avoid registration, knowing that they will have opportunities hereafter of coming into the undertaking at a much lower price. The calls must, therefore, be enforced against those who have signed the Parlia mentary Contract. This fearful position of matters has induced the Committee to con sider that probably the Eastern Counties Company, who are the strong opponents of the London and York Company, may, for the sake of protection and certainty to their own shareholders, be still open to some liberal compromise, and that the London and York directors and shareholders ought, either by- diminishing the extent of their love the pressure which will - Come "il fiWil i 'aiingdlVßllo.f.all3 to re absorption in the Eastern Counties Company, obtain a participation in an undertaking yielding a present profit, instead of one whose re turn, if ever obtained, will not be arrived at without years of painful sacrifices and. distress. With these views, the Committee think stets ought to be immedi ately taken to open a negotiation with the Eastern Counties, if not to dissolve the London and York Company. In the opinion of the Committee, either the line south of Peter borough ought to be abandoned, and the shares reduced to 201. each, •r the line shenid be given up to the Eastern Counties Company, on their agreeing to pay the whole or a portion of the expenses, and giving shares in their Line as originally proposed. The statement below, showing the past and present position of several well-supported Companies, who, before the Committee of the House of Commons, clearly showed a return on their capital from 6 to 8 p.r cent., proves that success on the part of the London and York Railway, In obtaining their Bill, will entail ruinous loss on the subscribers and scripholders ; and if any other argument was needed to maintain the views of the Committee, the following extract from the " Times" of the Bth of April, might alone be deemed sufficient : " The character of the crisis, and its effects on the new lines, are graphically illustrated in the catastrophe of the London and Oxford Railway, as reported in yesterday's paper . : " 'Mr. I. K. Brunel, examined by the Chairman.—The prices have so increased since the Acts were obtained, that the lines mentioned above (the Oxford and Worcester, and the Oxford and Rugby) can not be constructed at the estimated prices. Considers that the con struction of railways is new 50 per cent. mere than at this time last year. " ' At this point of the proceedings the Chairman said that :the Committee thought it unnecessary to hear any more evidence re specting the London arid Oxford Line; and, accordingly, after the room had been cleared for a few minutes, the Chairman announced that the Committee were unanimously of opinion tbat the preamble of the London and Oxford had not been proved.'" The Committee beg to direct the attention of the shareholders to the official announcement of the Government's intention to immedi ately introduce an Act investing the scripholder with such power, that a majority in number and value duly registered at any riblic meeting will prevent the further progress of any Bill in Parliament ; and tali the London and York Railway Bill will, in a very few days, have to appear before a similar tribunal as thatof the defunct London and Oxford, the Committee are, therefore, very anxious at once to a scertain if the shareholders concur In any of their views, for which purpose the following printed term may be obtainedat the Com and every shareholder and subscriber to the snittee-rooms , earnestly requested to return the same signed immediately, in eed orde i r s that the directors may be conferred with, or a public meeting may be deemed most expedient for th e protectionofett vened, as interests of all parties.

COMFORT in SHAVING depends on the proper use of a good Razor, an efficient Strop, and a Paste to renovate the surface of the Strop when it becomes black and choked with the steel from the Razor. To these must be added a Soap that will not dry suddenly on the face, and a smooth taper-pointed Elea! is shaving Brush. Unless all these points are attended to, and the 'Razor wiped and stropped after shaving, that operation must always be &troublesome, even if not &painful one.

The Directors think it right to add that their best attention has long been given, and shall continue to be given to the practibility of treating with any rivals, upon terms advantageous to the interests of the London and York Shareholders.

The Pittsburgh Commercial Journal mentions the death of Dr. Braddee, the notorious mail robber, who died last week in his cell in the Penitentiary of that city. The journal adds : He was convicted of robbing the mails, and imprisoned, it will be remembered, in 1841, pursuant to sentence by Judge Baldwin, for ten years. Shortly after his incar ceration, ho conceived the idea of procuring his liberation by simulating a decline of health. For this purpose he would prick his gums with the awls, which were supplied to him in the vocation he had cho'sen, that of a shoemaker, and having saturated his towel with blood, was always prepared for the stated visit of a physician or chaplain, with this evidence of a danger ous hemorrhage from the lungs, to which he was always careful to add a difficult and painful respiration. His physician was able, sometimes, to engage the suffering doctor in conversations, in which he would become sufficiently animated to forget his painful breathing, but on the instant that he would recollect himself, the diffi culty would return. These practices, it is believed, brought on the disease which terminated his life, and he died at last of a pulmonary affection. Until two weeks before his death his disease had not assumed a formidable type, but then he began to sink rapidly. Up to this period he had steadily and vehe mently asserted his innocence of the crimes imputed to him, but so soon as he became convinced that his re covery was impossible, he confessed his guilt, and al though we are restrained by prudential considerations from further allusion to this point, we may venture to add, that in his confession he has implicated several persons who had not been suspected of participating in his crimes. It is worthy of remark, also, that the doctor, who t h e a r t g in ai i n n e g, l a o n r a p sto re n te is n h d i i i n ig g retoputdaetitoenrmasinae,phtyhseiciparne,cdisee sby: symptoms in i b n u a g ny case of disease by an examination of the patient's urinary discharges , felt constrained b evidencer oitehi n g o r de h a is tl !re t ni o nai c . onfe , -3 that , his system was nothing but vast income he derivedsrasbufi cer-coems shrewdnesss h iisndt dupes 3ho character.mwbeul g l k i s n anotheroknown. n The It is known that Braddee's wife, who clung to him during his trial, and s ugges t e d by her pre- , sence apostrophe a nd ttoh love signs inanguish, of affliction that beautiful with which Mr. Biddle, in Braddee's defence,earified the auditory, had been unfaithful to her vows, e ande was married another not made made during Braddee's imprisonment acquainted with the fact , and for the five years in confinement , ho was fond of an opportunity of talking about "his wife and c hildren. " He spoke of them in terms of warm affection ; and undoubtedly his desire to recover his liberty was stimulated by attachment to them. Even after he became aware that he must soon die, he desired to be at liberty, even if it were to die in a barn, to the end that he might not die a prisoner. But so soon as he learned the conduct of his wife, he instantly ceased to wish for freedom. It was the final blow to the poor convict, the unexpected thrust, like that which ex torted the memorable et to Brute, commanding sur render ; and, poor fellow, he gave up at once. He never after mentioned wire or child, or desired to move be yond the limits of his cell. The name of his wife was avoided with an iron will, although for the revious years of his confinement it bad been a pleasant and hope ful theme. A question was a long time existing whether Braddee could read or write. In his last illness it was satisftc torily ascertained that he could do neither, although every effort in the earlier part of his imprisonment to determine the question was unsuccessful. RODISEY CHEESE FAIR.—At our Easter fair, on Mon day, the quantity of cheese pitched did not quite amount to the general average, and during the early part of the day the sale was dull. Towards its close, however, and on the second day, a considerable clearance was effected :—Best old white was sold at 645. to 745. ; good white, 58s. to 64 5.; in • ferior and halfskim, 425. to 545.; skim, 21s. to 361. In the stock ma rket the supply of sheep and lambs was small, and great prices were demanded and obtained; as was the case in the horse fair. Every department, indeed, wu alike charac terised by deficiency and dearness. FRIDAY NIGHTS GAZETTE. CROWN-OFFICE, APRIL 17, 1846.

(Sittings in Banco.) WHALLEY r. DAVISON. Mr. BAINES in this case moved, on the part of the plaintiff, for a rule nisi, in order that the verdict which had been ob tained at the late assizes at York, before Mr. Justice Cole ridge, should be set aside, and entered for plaintiff, with such damages as the Court might allow. The action was one for the recovery of the amount of shares in the Leeds and Thirsk Railway, which bad been bargained for and sold by the plaintiff to defendant. The only plea was non-assumpsit. the defence set up by the defendant at the trial was, that he was only acting as an agent, that the shares were not purchased on his own account, and that therefore he was not liable. On the 27th of September last the applica tion was made by defendant for one hundred shares in the Leeds and Thirsk Railway for the account of the 15th October following. On the 2d October following the receipt of the note the plaintiff wrote a letter to defendant, to know who the person was for whom the shares were. The defendant, in reply to that, declined to give the name of the party who had instructed him to give the order, but said he would take the risk upon himself, and gave the name of his father as the purchaser, and engaged to pay the cost of the transfer. Ancther letter was written by plaintiff on the 11th October, demanding the name of the purchaser. To that letter no answer whatever was returned. The 15th of October came, the day on which the purchase was to be completed, but it was not till ten days after, on the 25th October, that the actual purchaser was given, when the de fendant gave the name of Frederick Tuttall. On inquiring of Mr. Tuthill, the plaintiff ascertained that the defendant had sent a note to Mr. Tuttall very different from the sold note to plaintiffs. The 15th of October was named as the day for the account with plaintiff, but no time at all was specified in the note by defendant to Mr. Tuttall. On the 11th of November a witness was called at the trial, whe proved that he went along with plaintiff to defendant, when the latter offered to pay for the shares of plaintiff. He then left the shares with him, which the plaintiff did not think proper to do. Under these circumstances the Learned Counsel submitted that the defendant had made him self liable for the shares ; first, because he refused to give the name of the actual buyer, though repeatedly re quired to do so. In proof of which he quoted Justice Story on agency, sections 267 and 288, where it is stated distinctly that where the agent refuses to disclose the name of the principal for whom he professes to act, he has a right to be treated as the principal himself. The present case was exactly analagous, as the defendant refused to give the name of,the principal, though repeatedly called upon to do so; and secondly, by his letter of the 2d of October he offered to take the responsibility on himself, and did not give any name till ten days afterwards, on the 15th of October, the day on which the account was to be finally settled, and when plaintiff could have no claim whatever on Tuttall. Under these circumstances, he submitted that the Court could have no objection to his motion. Rule granted. The remainder of the day was occupied in hearing motions.

Gilbert dined at Oliver's Hotel, on Wednesday, to celebrate the victories in India, in which their gallant townsman bore so conspicuous a part. The Mayor, J. B . C ollins, Esq., was in the chair, and was NN. suporteal l, d by Sir S. T. Spry, M.P., T. J. A.

The General's two aides-de-camp at' Sobraon, Lieutenants Gilbert and Wreford, are likewise natives of Bodmin. The West Briton, from which we have abridged the above, gives the following instance of the coolness of Lieutenant Wreford at Sobraon :—" A letter from Lieutenant Wreford states, that after being blown up by one of the mines, on coming to him self he found eighteen men of his company lying dead by his side, and so,' he coolly continues, got up and shook myself, and followed the General (Gilbert) wherever he went."' It was proposed, and the proposition was received with enthusiastic cheering, to start General Gilbert as a candidate for the representation of Bodmin on the first vacancy. , THE ARMY. The veterinary surgeon and adjutant of the 10th Hussars will arrive in India before their regiment, in order that the required number of horses may be prepared for use. Lieut.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE EXPERIMENTAL SQUADRONS. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—We are informed that Commo dore Sir Francis Collier, K.C.8., Superintendent of Wool wich Dockyard, has received his appointment to command the squadron of line-of-battle ships in the forthcominf, cruise, and that Captain Si r J ames J ohn Gordon Bremer 6 (1814 ), K.C.8., K.C.H., will hoist a commodore's broad pendant, and take the command of the steam squadron. It is certainly high time a revision of the navy list tosk place, in order to define who are capable and who are incapable of serving their *country longer, when we see an officer taken from his com mand of an important arsenal and put in command of a fleet, from which it would be but reasonable to infer that Commo at the country's expense after this we cannot imagine. It would seem, too, that while experimental squadrons increase in power they decrease in importance, as here tofore a rear-admiral has had the command, but now a commodore is deemed an officer sufficiently important to fulfil the onerous task. We do not make these remarks in disparagement of Commodore Collier's qualifications to per form all the duties demanded of him in his official capacity ; we know him to be well qualified in every respect for the post conferred upon him, but we object to the appointment as inconsistent, and as an affront to every other active flag officer upon the Navy List. Commodore Collier is already in possession of a lucrative and distinguished appointment as superintendent of Woolwich dockyard. Why, then should he be taken away from that to go to sea, when there are so many other deserving men to whom the appointment of com mander-in-chief of the experimental squadron would be not only a just compliment and tribute to their acknowledged talents and efficiency, but also a welcome pecuniary boon ? We know that precedent may be urged in favour of Commo • dore Collier's appointment (to wit—Rear-Admirals Pym and Parker were taken away from their respective dockyard com mands last summer to go to sea with the experimental squadron of 1845), but that will not answer the charge of inconsistency. In fact, it renders its truth more apparent, as we well know Rear-Admiral Parker was confined to his cabin with gout nearly the whole time he was in the St. Vincent, and his successor reported the best skip of the squadron as " leewardly and crank 1" With the appoint ment of Captain Sir J. J. G. Bremer we are sure every one would be perfectly satisfied. He commanded the Bermuda and Royalist in 1812-13, and captured several privateers, and was actively employed on the north coast of Spain, particu larly at the defence of Castro. In the latter sloop, in com pany with the Scylla, he fought the French frigate Weser, of 40 guns. He was also Commander-in-Chief with a broad pendant, in the Wellesley, in the operations on the coast of China, including the capture of the Bogue fo r t s an d C anton in 1841. Captain Sir Richard Grant, of the St. Vincent, 120, was sent for by electric telegraph yesterday to attend at the Ad miralty this morning. The Retribution steam-frigate has landed all her guns, and about 400 tons of dead weight, in order to lighten her sufficiently for floating over the coping stones at the entrance to the basin to get her into dock. Her rudder, too, has been unshipped, as her length would otherwise have prevented her getting in. Having made every preparation she hauled off from the jetty last evening alongside the Blake hulk, to await a favourable tide.

A RAT-CATCHER CAUGHT. —Our readers will, many of them, recollect a noted rat-catcher who exhibited in our market, a few weeks since, a cage full of vermin, over which he seemed to have obtained a sort of mesmeric influence; in asmuch as they did just what he permitted them to do, and no more. On Saturday last this same individual exhibited his stock at Bedford; and while holding a rat in each hand, irritating them to fight each other, one of them fastened on his hand, and before he could release himself from that, the other rat fastened on his other hand, and both of them lace. rated him severely. He was unable to make them loose their hold until he strangled them off with his teeth, and spat them dead upon the ground.

A striking d e f ect in the French criminal law is the regulation by which criminals sentenced to death are not informed of the day on which they are to die until about an hour before the time fixed on the day itself. The criminal, lulled by a false hope of his appeal to the - superior court bei ng successful, or of his petition to the King for mercy b e i ng li stened to, refuses to attend to the pious exhortations of th e chaplain, thinking that he will have no nece ss ity f or repentance, and passes his time in a state of br u t e care l essness, in which he is encouraged • by his fellow-p r i soners, who flatter him with the idea i that at most h e w ill get o ff with travaux forces, hard labour for life. Thi s cont i nues till some morning he is suddenly inf orme d t h at i n an hour (sometimes even less) he is to ascen d the steps of the guillotine. At first, stunned by thi s i n f ormation, he shows no exterior signs of emotion ; t h e c h aplain attempts to pour consolation into ears y e t d ea f ened by the sounds of death, and ere the mis era bl e man can be made to understand that that is his la s t opportunity for making his peace with an offended D e it y, h e is given up to the executioner, the axe falls, an d hi s soul is in the presence of its Judge. Even the E ng li sh system, bad as it i s , i s b etter than this. A la menta b le instance of the effect produced by this regulation lately occurred at Mezieres (Ar dennes). Jacques Loney had been condemned in January last to death for assassination, against which sentence he had appealed, and confidently expected that it would be mitigated to hard labour for life. On the sth of March his appeal was rejected, a fact of which he was left in ignorance until the 9th instant, the day fixed for his execution, which was to take place in the Place St. Julian, at nine o'clock. At half -past seven,' Lonay, who had been present at mass with the other prisoners, was detained by the chaplain, the Abbe Garot, for the purpose of communicating to him the fatal news; the Abbe, however, overcome with emotion at the thought that the man then standing before him, full of life and vigour, would in a few minutes be a lifeless corpse, he had not courage to announce to him the sad truth. The clerk then read to him the decree of the Court of Cessation rejecting his appeal; and, as he seemed not to comprehend the purport of the decree, it was at last explained to him that he must no longer !ncount on the mercy of man. Lonay then protested his nocence,,walked up and down the oratory, clasping his hands and groaning piteously. He was then left to the exhortations of the priest, to which he may replied by groans and protestation s of innocence. This scene lasted till the arrival of the executioners. On their atternptng to bind his arms, he stiffened them against his side, say ing he could walk well enough without being pinioned. He refused to drink a glass of wine offered him by the turnkey, and walked without assistance to the exterior door of the prison, where, on be_holding the crowd, he uttered a plaintive cry and turned to the priest, who was by his side. After he had ascended the scaffold he confessed his guilt, and in a few minutes all was over_ THE LATE COLLIERY ACCIDENT. BILSTON, FAIDAY.—Last evening an inquest was held on the bodies of the five men who lost their lives in consequence of the accident which took place on Wednesday. The first witness was a man named Morgan, who stated that he was standing at the top of the pit when the men who have lost their lives were being let down the shaft ; that they were all cautioned not to go into the works until the " doggie " came down : that the skip had just been lowered down the shaft with a second party, but before they had pro ceeded many yards the explosion took place, by which they were all blown many yards into the air. Four were picked up dead immediately afterwards, and William Jones was also found dead at the bottom of the mine, his death having b een caused from suff oca ti on. The remainder of the men and boys in the mine were got up, having sustained injuries more or less extensive. Cox, the " doggie," is suffering from severe contusion of the brain. The witness further stated that the mine was well ventilated completely through its workings, the that it w as not usual for the men to go into the pit until " doggie" had tried it by means of the safety-lamp ; that this trial not unfrequently takes place three or four times a day, when there is any apprehension of a collection of sulphur. The remainder of the evidence was corroborative of the statements which have already appeared in The Sun, and showed the reckless manner in which Jones had rushed upon death ; one fact, however, was elicited in the course of the inquiry, which is worthy of especial notice; it was, that the "doggie" did not always go down the mine in the morning in the first skip. The CORONER remarked on this circumstance, and observed that it ought to be imperative for him to do so. Had such been the case (he said) on this occasion, the lives of five human beings would, ie all probability, have been saved. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that Win. Jones died of suffocation, occasioned by an explosion of sulphuric acid gas, and that Abraham Atkiss, John Evans, Enoch Bet , tray, and Thomas Vinsome, died from wounds and bruises accidentally received in consequence of the explosion. The remain der of those who are injured are going on favourably. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS. A very large meeting of the members of 'this Association was held last night at the Hanover-square Rooms; Mr. R. R. Pennington presiding on the occasion. A very lengthened report having been read by the Secre taries, setting forth the past operations and future plans of the association, several resolutions were carried, embodying the suggestions it contained, and of which the following are copies:— " 1. That the indefinite postponement of the settlement of the medical question in Parliament, and the consequent unsuccessful issue of the exertions of the committee to obtain a charter of incorporation for the general practitioners, is chiefly to be attributed to the existing colleges having un duly exercised their influence, and thrown unwarrantable obstacles in the way of the Secretary of State for the Home thertigullkiatteilUffifttatm- Y m ettfi l ite l reet - , ---iir-titz-r . epbri. which has just b een rea d, t h at the National Association should be established on a more permanent basis, be forth with adopted, and that the members of the association, and of the profession generally, be canvassed as to their willing. ness to co-operate in the formation of a National Institute of Medicine, Surgery, and Midwifery, on the plan recommended in the report. "2. That it is expedient in the meantime that the National Association should maintain its present position, that it may be prepared to act in any emergency that may arise, and be ready to avail itself of every suitable occasion to urge upon the Legislature the pressing necessity, on public grounds, of a revision of the laws affecting the medical pro fession, and also, as a numerous and important collective body, that it may exercise all the means at its disposal to produce a satisfactory settlement of the complicated question of medical reform. " 3. That the committee of the National Association be requested to continue their functions as a provisional com mittee, and with power to add to their numbers, for the pur pose of carrying out the two last resolutions; and that future public meetings be called as soon as the committee may be prepared to receive a report from the committee of their pro ceedings, and of the opinions of the profession on the forma tion of a National Institute cf Medicine, Surgery, and Mid wifery." _ _ _ A vote of thanks was carried to the Apothecaries' Society, for their enlightened policy in raising the qua lifi ca ti ons o f the general practitioners, and in the part which they had taken in the late questions affecting the medical profession. A great number of speakers addressed the meeting, amongst whom were Mr. Bird, Mr. Purcel, Dr. Cooper, Mr. Bedding.. field, Mr. F. A. Bonney, M r . G. D an i el, Mr. Rogerson, M.. J. Woolridge, and Mr. M. Beale. Great indignation was ex pressed durlhg the evening at the terms in which the Hun terian oration had spoken of the general practitioners, and generally at the conduct of the council of the College of Sur geons. Hopes were also expressed by Mr. Sparkes, Mr. Cooper, and members of the committee, that the differences which had hitherto existed among the body of general prac titioners might yet be adjusted. After a vote of thanks to the chairman and secretaries the meeting broke up. e - - 0- - e _ -_. - -. I- - - z _ _ - -.e 43% BI A . 17%xd • (Ms. • 734 333, 15.3 i % dia. 364 173, 10% 2 % • 4 I '4 p ix
