In kindly spirit, herein counsel's gi v'n, How health, how hope, how happiness to gain." WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID • With Diet Tables for all Complaints. Contents :—How to ensure perteet digestion, tranquil eelings, a good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob servance of the instructions herein contain& the feeble, the ner vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, niter acquire the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the full period of life allotted to man. " How we sho•ild live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although hearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters every living crea ture able to understan 1 ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable clianeels, is at a very terrible discount. In the expositio*, hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, hut it is insisted upon that we should know the sAiiple principles of our owu organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their se , eral healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities In the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to he in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the lilt e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation )f our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations.

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS. The Provisional Directors have regretted their inability to make an earlier announcement to the Shareholders of the Welsh Midland and Brecon and Merthyr companies, but they found it impossible in the first instance during the hu,y season of the session of Parliament to get in the accotints, and when the accounts were received, it be came necessary not only to investigate them, but to negotiate for a reduction of their amounts—the arrangements into which these Companies had entered with other companies also rendered further negotiations necessary, and it was, moreover, obviously impractic able to suggest any plan for future operations until it should be as certained which of the various lines projected in the district would be ultimately sanctioned by Parliament. The result of the present session. has been, that the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway, and the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford Railway are the only li es sanctioned by Parliament, connected with the Welsh Midland District. These lines complete .an unbroken railway route from Newport, on the Bristol Channel, to Birkenhead and Liverpool. The various other lines, which competed for this occupation of South Wales, have all been rejected. The Directors have the satisfaction to state that they have, by agreement, secured an interest to the extent of one-third of the capital in the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford Railway; this interest is equal to 9,000 shares of 251. with 21. 10s. paid, which will be apportioned amongst the Welsh Midland and Brecon and Merthyr Shareholders in proportion to their interest in those undertakings. Other negotiations are In progress which may issue in securing some further advantages. If such should be the case, the directors will immediately give a further option to the shareholders, but they do not think it right to delay this announcement. The Parliamentary struggle has closed too recently to allow ar rangements to be perfected between the several companies interested in railway accommodation to South Wales. There can be no doubt but that the interests of the Newport, ASiersavenny, and Plereford, and of the Shrewsbury and Hereford lines wilt lead them to promote an Extension from Hereford to Swansea; whilst the London and Birmingham and Midland Companies will equally desire the same communication, extending the narrow gauge in connexion with their trunk lines. Before, however, entering into any binding engagements, or incur ring any expense for promoting in the next session a line from Here ford to Swansea, the Directors considered it due to the Welsh Midland and Brecon and Merthyr Shareholders, to give to every one the option of withdrawing, before they transferred his interest into the new Company. In aseertalnirg the amount of expenses incurred by the Welsh Midland and Brecon and Merthyr Companies, many accounts are still unavoidalsly under ne.gociation. The Directors can only at pre sent return its. per share on the Welsh Midland, and 7s. 6d. per Share on the Brecon and Merthyr, and will not be able, until the un settled accounts are disposed of, to ascertain the further balance to be divided; they are, however, assiduously devoting themselves to this work; so as to wind up the affairs with the utmost dispatch and economy. To enable the Shareholders freely to exercise their opposition, the Welsh Midland Company and the Breesn and Merthyr Company, have been duly dissolved uud, r the powers of dissolution contained in the Subscribers' agreements, and the Directors request before the Ist of September to be put in possession of the wishes ssf each Share holdsr on the following options:— I st.—To exchange one Welsh Midland, or two Brecon and Mer thyr shares, for one Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford Railway share upon which 21. 10s. has been paid. to the extent of his propor tion, being credited ss. beyond the 21. 10s. towards the future calls. 2d.—To transfer the remaining shares into a new Company for promoting a line from Hereford to Swansea. 3d. —To receive !,ack the 15s. per share on each Waists Midland, and 7s. 6d. per share on each Brecon and illertbyr share, with such further sum as may hereafter accrde. Each Shareholder is requested to fill up and return the subjoined circular, accompanied by his Scrip, and a receipt for such Scrip will be forwarded to him in course of post. By order, THOMAS PRITCHARD, Secretary of the Welsh Midland Railway. JOHN TAYLOR, Secretary to the Brecon and Merthyr Railway. To the Secretary of the Welsh Midland, or Brecon and Merthyr Railway Companies. I, being a holder of shares in the Welsh Midland, or Brecon and Merthyr Railway Companies, beg to enclose you my Scrip for the same and to notify— Ist —That I wish to take shares (or any greater number to which I may be rateably entitled), in the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford stock, on the terms of exchanging one Welsh Midland share, or two Brecon and Merthyr shares for one such Newport and Hereford; and I hereby undertake to sign the deeds of that Company, and to register as a shareholder thereof. 2d,—That I shares in the Welsh Midland and Brecon and Merthyr Companies into the new Company for promoting a Rail wayfrom Hereford to Swansea. 3d. That I wish to receive back the balance un expended upon my Shares, instead of transferring them to the new Company. I remain, Sir, Your very obedient servant, 17, Park-street, Westminster.

PORTSIIOI7TH, FRIDAY.—The Comet steamer, Lieutenant- Commanding C. R. Johnson, returned to-day from Plymouth. This indefatigable officer has actually made two voyages to Plymouth and b.;clt in two hours under four days, including a stoppage in this harbour of Revell hours. The distance traversed is about 650 miles, and this has been accomplished b.,' one of the oldest steamers in the service, and one generally held to be a very slow coach. The Athol troop-ship, Master-Commanding E. Pearoe, was towed into the harbour last evening, and is to be grounder, we believe, alongside the dockyard, to have her copper ex amined and repaired, there being no dock vacant. The slight repairs required by the royal yacht in conse quence of her late accident have been completed, and she was hauled off to the buoy opposite Clarence-yard this morning, ready for her Majesty's use, should she think fit to employ her. giThe ships dressed in flags this afternoon at a quarter past one, and the pier at Clarence-yard has been decorated in like manner, as from the lateness of the hour at which her Majesty has appointed to arrive, it will be low water, and she will be obliged to use the barge. In Harbour—Excellent, Victory, Victoria and Albert, Nautilus, Athol, and Seaflower cutter ; Gladiator, Dasher, Comet, Fairy, and Echo steamers. At Spithead—Coutest and Aurora, Sardinian corvette.

The following is an outline of the Government Bill for granting certain duties on sugar and molasses : The preamble, after reciting the Act Bth and 9th Viet., c. 5, and the two temporary Acts of the present session, proceeds :—And whereas it is expedient that the said duties should be repealed, and that other duties should be raised and levied in lieu thereof, we, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled, do thereby most humbly beseech your Majesty, that it may be enacted, &c. By clause 1 the former Acts are repealed, and the new proposed duties (which have already been given in these columns) are set forth in detail in the first and second clauses. Clause 3 declares that her Majesty may allow the importation of sugar and molasses from British posses. sions within the East India Company's charter in which the importation of foreign sugar is prohibited at the lower rates of duty. Clause 4 provides such sugar and molasses are to be entered at the lower rate of duty, upon the conditions on which Bengal sugar was admissible under 6th and 7th Will. 4, c. 26. _ _ Collection of Duties—That the several duties by this Act imposed shall bo under the management of the Com missioners of her Mujesty's Customs, and shall be ascer tained, raised, levied, collected, paid, recovered, and ap plied or appropriated under the provisions of an Act passed in the third and fourth years of his late Majesty King William IV., and of any other Act or Acts in force relating to the Customs. By clause 6 it is enacted that proof of origin may be required, and clause 7 requires the Commissioners of Customs to provide standard samples of white clayed sugar. 8. Orders in Council to be published. 9. Orders in Council may be revoked. 10. Copies of Orders in Council to be laid before Parliament. 11. Act may be amended this session. IRELAND►. DUBLIN, AUGUST 6.—ADDEESS TO LORD BESBOROUGII. —The citizens of Waterford, with many of the respectable inhabitants of the county, have called a meeting to address Lord Besborough.

Wellens and his celebrated dog, Emile, whose appearance at Astley's created such a sensation, about four months since, had the honour of ap pearing at Buckingham Palace, on Thursday, before her 'Majesty and Prince Ibert, and the Royal Family of Belgium. A distinguished party of n obl e - and illustrious visitors were present. Her Majesty was graciously pleasel to express her admiration of the unique performance of Emile. His Royal Highness Prince Albert also eulogised the thorough-bred appearance of the dog—one of the finest specimens of the Russian shepherd's dog in the world— while the delight of the juvenile branches of the royal family, who were present on the occasion, may be better imagined than expressed. Emile is certainly the most wonderful quadruped performer who has yet appeared upon the boards. His owner, M. Wellens, is decorated with various medals and crwise , , which he has received for saving, with the assistance of Emile, on several occasions, various persons from drowning. On a recent occasion, at Ghent, Emile saved the lives of three persons. We hope to sea this popular performer on " the boards" again shortly. His recent provincial tour has been, we understand, very successful.

DESTRUCTIVE FLOOD.—BRIsroL, AUGUST 9.—Last night the inhabitants of the neighbourhood of the docks in this city were thrown into the utmost consternation by the sudden destruction of the new and extensive works in pro gress. Upon inquiry as to the particulars, I find that for several months past works of the most extensive character, the estimated cost of which will be 50,0001. or 60,0001., have been in progress at the Bristol docks, for the purpose of making new locks capable of admitting shipping of the largest size. such as the Great Britain, ific. The construc tion 'of these works rendered it necessary that the river Avon should be piled, a very large coffer-dam constructed and sunk, and the ground in front of a row of about sixteen houses so far cut away as to render it necessary to prop them up until the works were finished. Last night at about nine oclock, the tide, which was ono of the highest springs, in consequence of the prevailing westerly wind, rose to a very great height, overflowing the walls of Cumberland basin, and being met by the fresh down the Frome, which, in consequence of the tre mendous thunder-storm of yesterday, had swollen the rivers Frome and Avon very considerably, suddenly broke into the new works, carrying destruction everywhere before it. Fortunately, only one man was in the works at the time, who perceiving a crack in the wall, went to stop it with some cement, when he saw the timbers in the works which were used as shores suddenly cracking; be at once fled to the ladder to get out of the works, but before he could do so the mingled tide and fresh from the rivers rushed in with the utmost fury, and it was with the greatest difficulty that he esetiped. The huge timbers of which the works themselves were composed were snapped in pieces and swept away, as if they had consisted of a mere collection of reeds. Upon the shore and in the river at the moment the greatest consterna tion prevailed; the inhabitants of the neighbouring houses hearing the sudden crash, and perceiving the sudden re cession of the tide, which had the moment before over flowed the land for several feet, rushed out in the utmost alarm, believing that it was an earthquake. The sailors in one or two vessels which were lying nearthoefctohffe er-dam, perceiving the sudden agitation and the rush.water, participated in the alarm, an dCaptain to Pa jn itt p t, o o n f the Swift, f wi e f l t l , who, following his men, endeavoured r into the tide, but was happily rescued, although not until b e was much exhausted. A little girl also had her shoulder fractured by the fall of a piece of timber; but, fortunately, no lives were lost, and, beyond these accidents, I have not heard of any that have occurred. The neighbouring houses which I mentioned in the commencement of this communi cation are in a very dangerous state, and considerable fears are entertained lest they should be washed away by to-night's tide. No estimate of the damage can be accurate at present, but, from all that I can learn, if no further accident take place, it must amount to at least 5,0001. SOUTHWARK FAlR.—This fair, which long since ceased to have its being, was revived yesterday, for the purpose, ac cording to the announcement, of commemorating the abo lition of the corn-laws and contributing towards the national testimonial to Mr. Cobden, though in what mode it was to conduce towards the latter most laudable object was not stated The locale of the present fair is in a spacious area, about the middle of Kent-street, and some hundred yards from St. George's Church, Southwark. The affair is far from flatter ing to the hopes of those favourable to such scenes; for it presents but a poor array of tents, booths, and of her attri butes of fairs; and, on the whole, had the appearance of being rather the result of galvanism than a healthy resuscitation. The attendance, too, was in harmony; for in stead of well-dressed groups, it presented a thin congregation of the wretched denizens of the district, whose squalor and rags attested too sensibly the necessity for those measures for the improvement of the social and moral condition of the humbler classes which, it is understood, will be introduced by the present Government. Indeed, a visit to the scene of this fair would be more eloquent than a homily, from the pulpit, for the practical philanthropist. With respect to the fair in itself, it is only necessary to add that it is to continue for two days more, provided it can drag its slow length along till the expiration of that period. arte, H o O x L -Ing. of WILL' OF L - 01711APARTE I NoG OF HOLLAND. ope ned na The will of en E L X oui -K s Holla, w ° l at Florce, on B p the 2Gth of July, the day after nd his de 3 - mise. We have been favoured with the following details:— After recommending his soul to the Almighty, he ex presses the wish that his remains should be sent to St. Leu, near Paris, to be near those of his father, Charles Bona parte, and of his eldest son, who died in Holland in 1807. He wishes the remains of his second son, who died in Italy in 1831, to be also brought to the same place, and he appro priates a sum of 1,4001. to the erection of a monument. I have, says he, borne the name of that village for forty years, and Inked it better than any other place. He makes a present to the municipal body at Amsterdam of all the property he formerly possessed in Holland, that the income arising from it may relieve the misfortunes occa sioned every year by the inundation. He bequeaths to the poor of Florence a rather considerable sum. To his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke of Tuscany the colossal bust, representing the Emperor Napoleon, by the celebrated Canova. He desires the Grand Duke to accept it as a token of gratitude for the hospitality he has received in his States. To the Grand Duche.g lie bequeathes a beau tiful vase of Porcelain de Sevus. To each of the four sceurs de charity of the hospital of St. Len, in France, an annual pension of 47. To the poor of Civitanova, 1001. To several poor of Florence, several pensions. To his brother, Jerome Bonaparte, Prince of Montfort, hie box at the theatre of Florence, a property valued at 2,4001. To his nephew, Napoleon, son of Prince de Montfort, a beautiful diamond. To his second nephew, Jerome, a souvenir of a similar kind. To Princess Mathilde Demidoff, a parure in rubies and dia monds, left to him by his mother. Tohis nephew, Don Louis, son to Prince Canino, his beau tiful Villa de Montughi, with furniture and adjacent lands, valued at 8,0001. To his ward, Francesco Castelvecchio, a sum of 6,000/. After making a few other legacies of less importance, to all his servants and executors, he adds :—" I bequeath the remainder of my property (my Palace at Florence, the great estate of Civita Nova, all real property), furniture. claims, and, in short, all that will form my property at the time of my death (except what has been bequeathed by me as above stated), to my heir, Napoleon Louis, my only surviving son, to whom I bequeath also, as a particular token of my paternal affection, my Dunkerque, placed in my library, with all the decorations and souvenirs it contains; and as a still more particular mark of affection, I bequeath to him the different objects sent to me from St. Hclena, which have be longed to the Emperor Napoleon, and which are placed in • box made for that purpose." Florence, Dec. 1, 1845.—Post. MILITARY FLOGGING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In the numerous letters which have been written on military punishments, and in the editorial comments upon this painful subject, no credit has been given to a mi litary officer of high rank, who, many years since, nearly abolished this degrading and disgusting discipline in the Indian army. I allude to Lord Combermere, who was Commander-in-Chief in India, and who issued the fol lowing general order on the 19th of March, 1827:—. " General Order by the Right Honourable the Commander-in-Chief. _ _ " Head Quarters, Calcutta, March 19, 1827. " The Commander-in-Chief is satisfied, from the quiet and orderly habits of the native soldiers, that it can very seldom be necessary to inflict on them the punishment of flogging, while it may be almost entirely abolished with great advantage to their character and feelings. " His Excellency therefore is pleased to direct, that no native soldier shall in future be subjected to corporal punishment, except for the crime of stealing, marauding, or gross insubordination, where the individuals are deemed unworthy to continue in the ranks of the army." The general order then directs that the proceedings of all courts-martial be referred to the general officer commanding the division, and if the punishment be not remitted, the soldier to be discharged from the service. Being a military surgeon, I felt a painful interest on this subject, and it is about thirty years since I first directed the attention of military officers to the inefficacy and injurious consequences arising from the revolting and degrading punishment. It may be an open ques tion whether it may be necessary on actual service, in time of war, but it certainly never can be necessary during the time of peace. In conclusion, I would beg to refer to the admirable letters of the late Lord Collingweod on the subject of corporal punishments, to which he had a most decided aversion and objection ; and his wise and humane policy was confirmed by the result of many years' ex perience. Your most obedient servant, August 6, 1846. T. E. B. EMIGRATION.—On Wednesday afternoon the Batavier, Dutch steam ship, from Rotterdam, came into the river with 340 German emig ran t s , w h o intend to emigrate to the United States. They are an instalment of the 80,000 emigrating from the German States during the present year. Yesterday morning they proceeded by a special train from London to Liverpool, for the purpose of embarking on board an Ameri can ship bound to New York. DEATH BY LIGHTNING.—On Monday morning, at Langton Matravers, about five o'clock, the wife of a quarrier, named Benfleld, being alarmed at the weather, got out of bed and opened the door of lisr room, and whilst standing on the landing-place the lightning descended by the ehimnev into the room, shivering the fireplace, mantelpiece, and the side of the bed which the w ,- :man had just left ; the - woman was then struck by it and kilted on the spot, the electric fluid thence descended to the room below and scattered the contents of .1 cupboard about the place. The poor woman's husband, who was lying on the opposite side of the bed from that which his wife find just quitted, was uninjured. An inquest was held on the body the same day, before Stephen Bennett, Esq., the Coroner, when a verdict in accordance with the circum stances was returned. So violent a storm has not visited this neighbourhood for many years.—Poole Herald. AE RO STA TION. —A N OTHER DISAPPOINTMENT.—THE REV. D. Mimi. Aomx.—Mr. Green, the celebrated aero naut, visited our town this week for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements to ascend in his balloon, or, in other woals, to provide a proper place near the gasometer for inflating it; but we are sorry to say that it is expected the inhabitants will lose the sight through our vicar again "striking across." The facts are simply the following:— An application was made to Gabriel Poole, Esq., for the use of a field near the gasometer (this field adjoins the Rev. Vicar's garden and lawn), and it was most cheerfully granted by that gentleman, provided it would not be annoy ing to the Rev. Vicar. Parties waited on the vicar, but he thought fit not to give his consent, adding, we hear, that he should leave his house if such a mob were allowed to assemble near his domicile. A letter was also written by Mr. George Parker, one of the churchwardens, to the rev, gentle man, on the subject respectfully asking him to think better of it, but of no avail ; the answer to this letter was couched in terms of a priestly character, consequently Mr. Green left the town, and the thousands who have congregated to, wit. ness the sight are vexatiously denied the same; besides the loss the town will sustain in a monetary point of view is not inconsiderable. Since the above was penned, we are ex tremely happy to say that William Browne, Esq., one of our merchants here, has taken the matter up, and a field has been obtained for the ascent near the Taunton-road. This field is acme distance from the gasometer; however, portable pipes are to be laid down, at not a little expense, for the inflation, and the necessary arrangements with Mr. Green will be en tered into accordingly. The day is not as yet fixed for the ascent. May the weather prove propitious.—Somerset County Gazette. Two limbs of the law, subpoened to give evidence at the Exeter Assizes, to relieve the monotony of kicking their heels about the vicinity of the Courts, took a trip by rail way to Teignmouth on Friday last. Two or three causes happening to go off rather unexpectedly, and the case in which the two lawyers were witnesses likely to be heard, the plaintifi's attorney became alarmed, and started the follow ing message by the electric telegraph, " o ***** v. case is called on—witnesses to come up immediately." A policeman was sent in search of the missing parties, and found them indulging in a quiet swim in front of the town. Ile immediately made signals, but the lawyers being at too great a distance to hear anything, and believing that the policeman was ordering them further away, took no notice of it. The policeman became energetic, making all sorts of gestures, but without effect; at last, as a desperate resource, he plunged into the sea and followed the parties, and a very pretty race ensued, which at length ended in making his errand known, and the lawyers posted off to Exeter, but wholefound affair thecau t s o e liS the fa d r ef o e fi nd a a s ne e a ve a r t , theytoamndey,who they say, attribute the practised this successful hoax upon them.— Western leases. DINNER TO THE MARQUIS OF GRAN B Y AT WALT HAM. h by the Protectionists. W. F. Norton, Esq., Elton Hall, in the chair. Tile speakers were — the Duke of Rutland, the Duke of —On Friday last a dinner was given to the Marquis of Granby, at Richmond, the Marquis of Granby, Lord Charles Manners, Lord John Manners, Sir Henry Halfonl, Mr. Disraeli, M.P. Mr. T. B. 11111- yard, M.P., Mr. Farnham, M.P., &c. The following remarks made by the Duke of Richmond, alone deserve notice :—" I would not have you to consider that Parliament will not be dissolved at pre sent, for the general opinion in London is, that a dissolution will come very early.—(Hear, hear.) Ido not consider that Lord John Russell —who is not an enemy, but we have a right to be in a state of armed neutrality against him—l do not think that Lord John Russell will permit the present Parliament hi meet again, because I feel convinced that as he knows the effect of free trade will soon be felt, he will dissolve before the shoe pinches severely."—(Applause. and Hear, hear.) The other speeches were similar to those deli vered at Lynn on the occasion of the dinner to Lord G. Bentinek, on Tisesday last. Ma. ROwE, THE DRUGGIST.—On Saturday last Mr. Rowe, the druggist. who was acquitted at Devonshire Assize. of a charge of manslaughter, by administering improper medicines, made a triumphal entry into Plymouth. preceded by a band of music, play ing "See the conquering hero comes." Mr. Rowe was In a carriage. of which there were three,. and many of his friends appeared to look u p o n him as a martyr. The Conservative says, great rejoicings took place at Menke Town and in the neighbourhood, on its becoming ' known that Mr. Rowe was acquitted of the charge of manslaughter, at the Devon Assizes ; and, previous to his return, a subscription had been commenced towards defraying his expenses. The streets and houses in the neighbourhood were decorated with flags and ban ners ; indeed, such was the manifestation of feeling towards hint. that for this purpose some of the more humble inhabitants had made use of their tablecloths as an evidence of their desire to follow the example of their wealthier neighbours. 1 band of music paraded the streets during the day, and several of his friends went as far se Ridgway to meet him, others joining in the procession at Plymouth. and accompanied by the band, flags. &c., escorted him to his resi dence in Morice Town, where, on his arrival, Mr. Rowe addressed the assembled multitude in a state of great excitement, thanking them for the sympathy they had evinced In his behalf. He wits loudly cheered.—Plymoufh Journal. ALARMING STEAK-BOAT ACcIDENT.—On Saturday afternoon, about half-past Mx o'clock, an alarming accident occurred to the Primrose, one of the small steamers plying between West minster and London Bridges. It appears that she was making for the Shades Pier, when she was nearly run into by another steamer coming out, and to avoid the collision, her course was altered, and she was carried by the strength of the tide against the bridge, and through the arch. The crash was very alarming, and the larboard side of the bow was much damaged, the bulwarks and stanchions with a large iron pin, and the seats, being stove in, and some of the planks of the deck ripped up. The greatest consternation prevailed at the moment, as it was thought, from the violence of the shock, that great damage was done, and that she would sink. Had the other vessel, the Matrimony, which is an iron boat, hot shut off her steam, the most fatal result would have probably taken place. NARROW ESCAPE.—On Saturday morning last, ti gardener of Toddington, Beds, when on his way to this market, had a very narrow escape. He was near Leighton Buzzard, when a violent flash of lightning appeared to descend as it were directly upon his head, causing it to ache slightly, but without his sustaining any other injury. lie had not gone much further, however, when a suffocating smell, as of something smouldering, attracted his atten tion, and on taking off his hat great indeed was his astonishment to find it on fire, the lightning having ignited it and burnt a hole about two inches in diameter.—Aylesbury . WHIRLWIND.—On Thursday morning, about two o'clock, a whirwind or waterspout, passed with the greatest rapidity over Rochester, coming from the east.

Corry, of the Superb, 80, has not proceeded to sea in bis ship this last cruize, but left her at Cork, on Admiralty leave, Mr. Corry being dangerously ill. Commander W. K. Stephens (acting) has command of the Superb pro tern. Captain Corry states that the fleet is much improved in efficiency—an improve ment which could not possibly have been attained without sending the ships to sea. This opinion, upon a question which has been much agitated and disputed, formed by an officer of Captain Corry's experience, is very valuable. The Inflexible steam-sloop, Commander Hoseason, takes out a large amount of ammunition, 2,000 stand of arms, six field officers, and a number of supernumeraries, for service at the Cape of. Good Hope. She makes her trial trip to morrow, and will sail on the day we have already named (the 12th), for the Cape. Commander Hoseason intends steaming direct for the Cape, without calling at any inter vening port for fuel, and as the gallant commander has a thorough knowledge of the use of the expansive gear, we do not despair of his success, which will be one of the most ex traordinary feats ever t ecorded *navigation. Captain the Hon. William Gordon, M.P. late one of the Lords of the Admiralty, is now staying at Anglesey awaiting the arrival of Captain the Hon. John Gordon, in command of the America, 50, hourly expected from the Pacific with an enormous freight in specie. The Rattlesnake, 26, Captain Owen Stanley, will not be ready for the pendant so soon as was expected, and as she requires so much work to make her fit for her new commis sion, it is contemplated to bring forward the Volage, 26, at Devonport, to take her place. The Contest, 12, Commander AP3lardo, is detained at Spithead for the want of lieutenants. When they join, she will sail immediately for Sierra Leone. She takes out mails and dispatches. Her sailing orders do not hold out any prospect of a trial of sailing with the Recruit, as was antici pated. The circumstance is much canvassed, and looks like fear for the result of such a " contest" with the iron craft. The Contest has five months' provision under hatches. It is stated she can stow six. If she can, why does she not? Commander Douglas, son of Sir Howard Douglas, goes out in the Contest to join the Pantaloon, 10, on the coast, vice Wilson, invalided. The Columbine, 16, Commander Booth, is coming to this port from Chatham to receive advance wages. Her destina tion is the East Indies. She will take out dispatches, which are lying ready for her, for Rear-Admiral Dacres. the Com mander-in• Chief on the Cape of Good Hope station, and Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, Commander-in-Chief on the East India station. The Formidable, 84, at Sheerness, recently the flag-ship in the Mediterranean, is the ship selected to take the place of the Agincourt, 72, as flag-ship in the East Indies and China. First Lieutenant H. C. M. Hawkey, of the Royal Marines, joined this division this morning for duty. The Griffon, 3, Lieutenant-Commander Wilmot, arrived at Santa Cruz, Teneriff, from Madeira and England on the 29th of June. The Athol troop-ship, Master-Commander Pearn, was grounded alongside the dockyard last night, and the copper, which was defective, put to rights. She was hauled off again as soon as she floated. The Nelson, 120, advanced-ship, was removed to her moorings off the north end of the yard yesterday. The Penelope, 22, steam frigate, was removed from the basin yesterday and placed alongside the jetty. The Seaftower cutter, Commander Roepel, sailed yesterday for Jersey. The Daphne, 18, Captain Onslow, was at Valparaiso on the 18th of May. The Sampson steam-frigate, Captain Henderson, arrived at Valparaiso from England on the 19th of May. PROMOTIONS. Lieutenant Cr.

Goslin, from Arran island, to Barna station. The Board of Customs, at the immediate request of the Admiralty, have ordered a return of all men i n th e C oas t Guard, distinguishing those appointed by the Customs from those by the Admiralty, to ascertain the number available in sudden emergencies. WOOLWICH, ACOUST B.—The Athol troop-ship, Master- Commander Pearn, on her arrival at Portsmouth from Bermuda, landed Captain Oldershaw, of the Royal Engineers' company of Sappers and Miners, and the men proceeded by railway to the Vauxhall ter minus on Wednesday last, and on the following day marched to head-quarters at Woolwich, the brass band of the corps going to the village of Charlton to meet them and play them home. Previous to the company leaving Bermuda the youngest men were draughted into the company at that station, which has been raised to 100 strong, to obviate the necessity of sending out another company in place of Cap tain Oldershaw's, returned to England. The remaining com pany was left in excellent health and spirits. Captain Young's company of the Royal Artillery, at Wool wich, has been placed under orders for China, and on Mon day last entered upon a course of Repository exercises, pre paratory to their departure for Hong Kong. The swallow and Myrtle steam-vessels have been fitted with signal lights for experiments; the former on a plan by Mr. nettle and the latter on a plan by Mr. Evans. They will proceed to the Channel to test their respective qualities. The Geyser steam-vessel has been undocked, having the principal part of her defects made good, and she will soon be ready for sea. Mr. W. Stewart, senior inspector of shipwrights, has been appointed a foreman of the Woolwich dockyard, in addition to the number borne on the books at the time of his appoint ment. CHATHAm, AtiiIIST 7.—The Mutine, 12 guns, Commander Crawford, has got her guns out, and is expected to be taken into dock to-morrow, to make good defects in her bottom occasioned by getting on shore on the coast of Africa, while elia , -ing a slave vessel. Mr. John Fincham, the master builder at Portsmouth, the constructor of this vessel, is or dered here to inspect and give such directions as he thinks proper as regards her repairs, and to report his inspection to the Admiralty. She is ordered to be paid off, but the day is not named. The Raven cutter, Lieutenant John Stephen commander, arrived on the 2d with supernumeraries for the Bulldog steam sloop, and was paid six months' wages on the 3d, got the vessel on shore and cleaned her bottom and sailed on the 4th. The Trident steam-packet, Lieutenant Rigge commander, was put out of dock on the sth, and is now receiving her coals, and her steam is kept up so that she may leave the port the moment she is out of the hands of the artificers, which will be to-morrow. The ship John Jago, Dunn master, arrived on the sth from Riga, with a cargo of timber for the dockyard; and the ship RAILWAY Co 'I3IITTE ES. (YESTERDAY) HOUSE OF LORDS. Room C.

Mr. Lowe, cross-examined IT Mr. :51sintivia;:onbehalf of the Rochdale Canal Company —(.model of the Rochdale Canal Company station at Manchester was produced, showing the course of the pro- F,sed foe through this property, and the severance of the various warelmuscs and other buddings belonging to the Co,npany)—The proposed railway would take about 1,400 square yards of the land belonging to the Company. Re-ex•imiue3 by Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM —The ground Ac tually covered by the proposed railway would be only that upon which the piers of the arches would stand, and would not exceed more than 304 yards. The. property which the proposed railway would take was not in the occupation of the Company its. If; one portion of it was rented by Mr. Jackson, another by Mr. Clare: There would be no difficulty whatever in crossing the exiting tunnel on the Manchester and Leeds Railway by means of another tunnel. By the staudinz orders they could raise their levels five feet, and even without doing so they could cross by the present levels In such a manner as not only not to injure the existing tunnel, but materially to benefit it, both by relieving it of the present superabundant weight of earthwork, and also giving it a much better ventilation by means of the open work upon which the rails would be la d, and the shaft which would be sunk at the pro posed junction of the two tunnels, thereby creating an additional current of air. By the Earl of WicicLow—The proposed line was on an embank ment near the Hollingworth colliery. It did not commlmkate directly whh it, hut a short siding could very easily be made to connect them with the railway. Air. Hawkins, agent to the Hollingworth colliery, was then called by Mr. Sergeant WitaNGITANI—IIe said that two of the owners of these collieries were directors of this railway, and that they would be glad to form the con-eeting branch. The distance between the pits end the line would be about ninety yards. Cross-examined by Mr. LIILDTAID—The branch to connect the line with the collieries would be upon an embankment, and might pro bably form a fork, one branch of which would be towards Man chester, and the other towards Oldham. Mr. Bateman, C.E., of Manchester, was then examined—He had gone .4ver the whole of the line, and thought that the estimates were amply sufficient, and that the construction of the line would be a great public convenience, and that it would prove a remunerative line. Air. Chambers,. land valuer, gave evideLee as to the value of the land and buildings required for the railway and the several stations and depots on the line. Mr. hake, land surveyor, proved the quantities of land valued by the former witness. Mr. shorland, land valuer to the Corporation of Manchester, had valued the lan.l and buildings required for the line and its branches, and his valuation agreed whit that of the first witness called upon this point. Mr. Thornton, railway contractor, corroborated the estimate for the construction of the works on the line. Mr. Loftus, secretary to the Company, gave evidence of the amount of capital, the number of local shareholders, the amount of deposits, and other things connected with the pecuniary affairs of the Company. The Committee then adjourned till eleven to-morrow. GREAT NORT I-I OF ENGLAND RAILWAY. Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, the proprietors of the above Company held their ordinary half-yearly general meeting at the Offices of the Company, 24, Moorgate-street. H. Borrowdale, Esq , in the chair. After the Secretary, Major Grafton, had read the advertise ment convening the meeting, at the request of the Chairman, he read the following report : "The shareholde'is leave been called together on this oc ' casion in compliance with the terms of the 17th clause of the deed of settlement, which requires that an ordinary general meeting of the shareholders shall be summoned once in each half-year. The directors had hoped to be able on this occasion to communicate some certain intelligence respecting the decision of the Honourable East India Com pany, but up to this period no decision has been come to by that body, at least none has been promulgated, and the di rectors can only await the receipt of information, and there . - fore summon a general meeting. The only subjects remain ing to be laid before the meeting are—the complete regis tration of the Company, the deputation of a director to India, the state of the allotment list, and the state of the ac counts. ihe directors have succeeded in effecting a com plete registration of the Company, according to the pro visions of the English Joint-stock Act. The certificate was obtained on the •i9th of July last, and the Company is now empowered fully to carry out in England the object for which it was tbrmed, and one of the directors (Dr. B. Burt), late of the Bengal Medical Service, was deputed by the directors to Bengal, for the purpose of disposing in India of the shares reserved for that country, organising a board of management, obtaining a grant of the line, and otherwise pro moting the object of the Company. Dr. Burt, by the last report, had succeeded in disposing of several thousand shares. A draft of a short deed of accession had been sent out to him, which would enable him to receive the signatures of parties receiving scrip in India, and to transmit them to this country for the purpose of being annexed to our deed.. Of the 80,000 shares into which the capital of the Company is divided, 25,000 were retained for India, and are now in course of allotment there by Dr. Burt. Of the remainder 50,700 have actually peen allotted to the public in England, and there is only a reserve of 4,100 in the event of the grant being obtained. Owing to the pressure of business that devolved upon the board, consequent upon the formation of a new company, and the employment of a temporary secretary, they have been unable to bring the accounts into such a shape as would admit of their being audited, ready for that day's meeting, but they are happy to be able to state that after all expenses have beefs paid, including advances deputed to India, a very large propor tion of the sum realised for preliminary expenses will re main. The expenses of the management are upon the lowest scale, and if a grant of the line should not be obtained, the subscribers will have to receive back a fair proportion of the sums obtained for preliminary expenses. As the decision of the Hon. East India Company respecting the lines of railway to be carried out in India may shortly be expected, , and upon that decision the ultimate carrying out of this Company will entirely depend, the cirectors would suggest that it is advisable to adjourn the present meeting for three months, or till such time within that period when the decision of the Hon. East India Company may have been made known. The board have kept themselves in communication with the secretary to the Hon. East India Company, and have taken care to intimate their readiness to fulfil the great object for which the Company has been formed. "H. BORROWDALE, Chairman. " AUGUSTUS GRAFTON, Secretary. Extracts from the report of Mr. Sims, the engineer, on the practicability of railways in India, were also read; but it was requested by the Chairman that they should not appear in the public papers, as the report itselt belonged to other per sons, and was entrusted to them in confidence. Captain CLARKE wished to know whether the East India Company bad reported? The CHAIRMAN—No company has received any answer yet. They are pledged to us not to prejudge the question. Captain CLARKE—Have y ou any id ea o f ama l gamat i ng with any other society? The CHAIRMAN—That will depend on the fiat of the East India Company. Captain CLARKE—Have the directors consulted with the East India Company on the propriety of amalgamating with Larpent's Company ? The CHAIRMAN—No; we consider our upper line excel lent, and their lower one altogether impracticable. But everybody is ignorant of what tile East India Company in tend to do, and the proprietors may rest assured the direc tors will not refuse any advantageous alliance. Mr. KENNEDY then explained the route of the intended railway, and stated that from Alahabad to Delhi, 440 miles, was a sandy course, and it was agreed on all hands that there was no' finer ground in the world for making a line. A PROPRIETOR wished to know who were the agents in India? The CHAIRMAN—Messrs. Carr, Tagore, and Co. The SECRETARY then read a memorandum of the capital of the Company, from which it appeared that the directors had received 8 816/. 55., out of which they had expended 2,8631. Is. 5d., leaving about 5,3401. in huid. The CHAIRMAN explained that they had sustained a . loss by 15,435 *hares, allotted in England, not having been taken up. Captain BACK considered that the shareholders would act wisely by tak!ng them up, and that the directors ought to take steps at once for forfeiting and distributing them amongst the present scripholders. lie would move a resolu tion to that effect. _ _ Mr. FRANKLIN seconded the proposition, which was carried unanimously. The report was then adopted unanimously. and after a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting adjourned. BIDEFORD AND TAVISTOCK RAILWAY. An adjourned meeting of the shareholders of this Com pany took place yesterday, at No. 44, Finsbury-circus, for the purpose of registering a sufficient quantity of shares to decide whether the affairs of the Company should be wound up, and whether such dissolution should be taken as an act of bankruptcy on the part of the Company, or whether it should be performed through the agency of the directors Mr. Brown took the chair. • The CHAIRMAN briefly explained the reason why the shareholders had been summoned, and the polling commenced. It may not be improper to observe that, although the requisite number of shares have not as yet been regis• tered, there has not been a dissentient to the resolution that the Company should be dissolved, and that such dissolution should not be estimated as an act of bankruptcy. By the prospectus it was provided that the number of shares should constst of 26,000, at 251. per share ; 20,000 of these have been allot . ted, and up on 18 ,600 shares IL 7s. 6d. Ffr share has been paid. The Company intend re turning Ms. per share. Stamford, and Birmingham, RAILWAY H '' ,l4 .E MARKETS. MANCHESTER, AUGUST 8.

LE EDS, AUGUST 8. STOCK EXCHANGE.-As was anticipated, the nature of the trans actions producing the aCvanced prices of last week partook too much of a speculative spirit, and the result frequently attendant on that feeling has speedily succeeded, prices having been up for a few days, and then declined rapialy. There is now again a somewhat better appearance in the markets, which are sterraier, but without any symptoms of a general advance in prices. Most old stocks are lower. notwithstanding the apparent satisfactory manner in which ,he half-yearly meetings have passed off. :Midland stock is very fiat; Eastern Coanties are . Iso dull, and the same may be said of most lines where the meetings have been held. Some of the ten per cent. lines have bad great difficulty in maintaining their dividends. The Loudon and Birming h am has only declared ten per cent., less tax, and the chairma n gave it as his opinion (but which differed from his colleagues), that they might not be able to continue so high a dividend. ThiA stock is now offered at 225. The West Riding Union Company having proved the preamble of their Bill in the House .4* Lords, that measure may now be considered safe ; they close to-day with sellers at 5 .4 a , showing a little decline on yester day's prices.
