It is therefore proposed that a. requis should be signed as numerously and presented as speedily as possible, calling upon the Directors to convene a meeting of the Scripholders forthwith, and lay before them the exact position of affairs. Requisitions are now lying for signature at the office of C. M. Strettan, Esq., 18, Southampton buildings, Chancery-lane, London; and C. S. Gelman, Esq., Bethel-street, Norwich.

An advertisement having been published in the newspapers by par ties interested for a rival company, falsely assuming that this scheme will not be carried out, and inviting the scrip -holders to co-operate with them " in order to wind up the Company." The Committee of Management of the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dor chester Railway think it their duty to caution the scripholders against any such specious and delusive proceedings. There is not a railway Bill before Parliament whose prospects are more sound and cheering than that of the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dor chester Company ; the Shareholders have a positive guarantee of five-and-a-half per cant. from the South-Western Railway Com pany in perpetuity, thus ensuring a profitable and certain return to the Shareholders. It is a measure of the highest national import ance, as effecting the best and most direct route between London and Exeter, as well as between Dover, Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Fal mouth ; and is highly appreciated by the populous and agricultural districts through which it will pass. The Bill has already passed the Standing Orders' Committee, has been read a second time, and is appointed to be heard on its merits in the week beginning on the 4th of May. The Exeter and Exmouth Railway, being an extension of the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester, and running for two miles over its trunk, has already received the unanimous sanction of a Committee of the House of Commons on the merits, the Committee, at the same time making that sanction contingent on, and in anticipation of, the success of the Exeter, Yeovil. and Dorchester Railway. Under these auspicious circumstances, the Committee entertain the strongest con fidence of carrying this Bill triumphantly through Parliament. The Committee of Management will take the earliest opportunity of convening, by public advertisement, a meeting of scripholders, in pursuance of the se&ional order of Parliament, when a copy of the Bill will be submitted for their consideration and approval, with a full statement of the affairs of the Company.

TO be LET, f rom th e I st o f M AY next, for an unlimited term, or the Interest in the property sold, GLENLOE ABBEY, with about 127 statute acres of land. The well-known beauty of this romantic seat, within two miles of the town of Galway, on the direct road to Oughterarde, its magnificent woodland scenery, and the advantages it possesses as a suburban villa, require no eulogy. To those who wish to secure an admirable and unique mansion— wanting scarcely anything that art or taste can suggest, an opportu nity such as the present very rarely presents itself. The House is exceedingly well situate with a southern front—and commanding an expansive and picturesque view of Lake Corrib. It has every accommodation a family of distinction can desire, ii which are included, three reception rooms, nine bed chambers, closets, halls, corridors, cellars, kitchen, pantry, laundry, servants' hall and sleeping rooms, dairy, turf and coal lock-up houses, with very appropriate and well-built offices, stewards' apartments, garden, farm-yard, &c. The demesne, to which Turbary is annexed, comprises, within a ring fence, prime arable meadow and pasture land—some of the latter being occasionally flooded, will, as a matter of course, be con siderably enhanced by the contemplated drainage of the Corrib. It is also well stocked with Valuable and ornamental timber shrubs, &C. Its preserves are supplied with game, its waters with a variety Of fish, and to those who enjoy it afford aquatic amusement. In fact, this beauteous abode, to be properly appreciated, must be viewed. Further particulars obtained from the Right Hon. Lady Ffrench, G]enloe Abbey ; Thomas Coming, Esq„ Galway ; or Messrs. J. and J. Blakeney, 20, Gloucester-street, Dublin, or Galway. April 18, 1846. GOLDEN FLAX LINEN and the REGIS TEREDSHIRT WAREHOUSE. 42, REGENT-CIRCUS, PICCADILLY. The Proprietor begs to state that in th e f orm o f the REGISTERED SHIRT a very great improvement is effected, yet care is taken to preserve the easy looseness so necessary to this garment, together with a plain smooth setting front, and to retain this appearwace during the whole time in wear. But a further and a most impo'rtant advantage is offered—the material of those parts seen, the fronts, collars, and wristbands, are composed of the Goldrm Flax Linen, now so widely celebrated for the purity of its blea ch, thus presenting a beautiful snow-white appearance. The Proprietor fur ther begs to state, that rigorous attention is given towards moderate prices and excellence of workmanship. Any philanthrovie lady or gentleman who may he desirous of giving employment 1 $) persons of reduced means with such intention, the Proprietor of f ais establish ment will be happy to to-operate, and merely requires to see a spe cimen of work, and a card of the lady or gentleman r !commending. Samples of the Golden Flax Linen, or Cambric, with prices and di rections for self-measurement, will be cheerfully forvrarded by post to non-residents in London. Also an assortment of the highly-pa tronised Golden Flax Cravat Collar can be obtalned.by application, addressed as follows : The Registered Shirt Warehouse, 42, Regent-circus, Piccadilly. r rHE OPERA.—The pure white, simple elegance, Ji. and perfect fit of the GOLDEN FLAX CRAVAT COLLAR stamp it as a most gentlemanly article of dress at all times, but for Full Dress it is indispensable. It needs no additional cravat; in one article is combined both collar and cravat. Articles composed of cotton possess a dingy or yellow appearance, or speedily assume it ; linen, on the contrary, from its superior fabric, is capable. of receiving a higher bleach, and of retaining its snowy whiteness to the last. The Cravat Collar is made exclusively from the Golden Flax Linen, a fabric which is known to surpass all others in purity of bleach and beauty of texture. N.B.—Each Cravat Collar is stamped "JOIIN TATTERSON, London, registered 29th August, 1845," and may be..obtalned at a3l hosiers, outfitters, &c.

The Bill introduced by Lord Dalhousie completes the Go vernment measures, which is partially set forth in the reso lutions of both Houses, and gains additional stringency by the subsidiary resolutions of Mr. T. Duncombe. The Go vernment " resolutions," as proposed by Sir R. Peel and Lord Dalhousie, merely define the conditions to be observed before either House will proceed with the consideration of a railway project, while the Bill now brought into the House of Lords enables the shareholders to wind up their affairs, giving thorn a power hitherto possessed by corporate bodies alone. TO this distinction we called attention the other day, but we refer to it again, as it has been no uncommon mistake in the City to confound the two parts of the measure, that is, the ies slsbyce as rfio the pr to emusttthehsamee een px h drp a i n N e: have of - resolutions and the Bill, with each other. We may a l so ta k e been eseenr issued,olde r o byr the th e depositres resolutions." thelu paid t i os uncprs " precisely c d His it, re upon h the opportunity of correcting an err oneous i mpress i on (pro- p (pro duced by a verbal error) as to the qu a lifi ca ti ons requ i red in h March, and it is not necessary to comply w ith b ot h t h ese con ditions. I n uopinion winding f cited in the new Bill and in the " resolutions," exc ng that in stopping a Bill in its progress through the Legislature the mere silence of the scripholders will be suffi cient, whereas to dissolve a company, an especial meeting must be called. In both cases, where an appeal is expressed, whether in the negative (as required by the Bill) or in the affirmative (as required by the resolutions), a third of the stock represented at a meeting will constitute a quorum, and a majority of three-fifths of the stock so represented will be required. While the prospect of recovering part of the deposits is thus opened to a number of persons who have heedlessly em barked in schemes from which they now expect no remune ration, it is natural enough that an anxiety to get as much as possible out of the wreck should be expressed. Thus, we have heard a suggestion that the bills of solicitors, engi neers, and other parties employed in railways should be taxed, on the winding-up of a company, just as costs are taxed in the cases of bankruptcy. The relief which is felt by the removal of a large impend ing weight from the money market seems to be felt even at this early stage of proceedings. The discount houses have already, in some degree, relaxed their rate of interest, and money may be considered a degree easier. To form some notion of the effect which the mass of new schemes would have produced on the circulation of the country, it may be observed that the unpaid calls on the railways that have already obtained their Acts of Parliament (including some old lines) approach in amount to the enormous sum of 50,000,0001. When all these calls will be made—or whether they will ever be made—is, of course, uncertain ; but, at all events, the figure exists as the representative of a huge quantity of liability, which certainly would not bear a large increase. As many persons have expressed curiosity as to the profits of the Accountant-General on the investment of the railway money, a statement officially made in the Parliamentary re turn referred to yesterday may be found interesting. That portion of the money paid into the hands of the Accountant- General during last session, which was afterwards invested, was 56,2001. The whole amount charged as commission on the purchase of securities was 459/. lls. 5d., of which 275/. 4s. 10d. was received by the Accountant-General, and the rest by his broker. It need hardly be said that much larger operations have taken place since this period—namely, during the months of January and February in the present year.— Times. - EXAMPLES. 1 I ' p 1 0 5 7:g g Premium. 2 / 3 °"a —itmas in 5 !. - .3 s ' e t, —..-.

PRICE SD. THE JOB AND POST-MASTER S ' PROVIDENT FUND. The third anniversary dinner of the above institution took place on Friday, April 24, at the London Tavern, Bishops gate-street. Sir J. Trollope, Bart., M.P., presided on the occasion. Upwards of 300 gentlemen, members cf the above society, sat down to the dinner, which was served up in the well known and justly celebrated style of Messrs. Bathe and Breach. The. whole of the arrangements were excellently conducted, and Mr. Toastmaster Toole performed the functions of his office with his usual ability. The Chair, was supported on his right by his Grace the Duke of Richmond ; on the left by Sir W. Buckley. Among the numerous names of the subscribers read to the meeting, we noticed those of his Grace the Duke of Richmond, 25/. ; the Earl of Chesterfield, 20 guineas; Lord Rosslyn (a second donation), Si. ; Lord Marcus Hill, 2 guineas ,• Mr. Sheriff Chaplin, 5/. ; Count Bathyany, Si. ; Mr. David Saloman, 5/. ; Sir J. Trollope, Bart. (second donation), 101.; T.Gullan, Esq., 20 guineas; J. Shaw, Esq., 2 guineas. Upon the cloth -being removed, the "Non Noble' was sung in good style by Messrs, Genge, Kenny, and Smith. The usual toasts having been disposed of, The CHAIRMAN proposed " Prosperity to the Fund, ani may it flourish for ever." In proposing this toast, he took occasion to press upon the gentlemen present the necessity of contributing to the funds of the institution, in order to advance its interests. He stated that the higher classes would always be found ready to assist the interests of the society. If the case of the society was laid before them he felt convinced that they would be found among its most liberal supporters. _ _ The CHAIRMAN then proposed the toast of" Our Noble Pres' dent, his Grace the Duke of Richmond." _up on Enid , 1 0 : toast, he remarked it was quite unnecessary for him to say a word for the purpose of recommending it to their notice. It was sufficient for him to say that their Noble President was always ready with open hand to sup port charities of any kind.—(Cheers.) There was no limit to his benevolence.—(Renewed cheers.) He hoped that the toast would be drank with' unbounded applause, and with that affection which the Noble Duke deserved at their hands. The Duke of RICHMOND, in returning thank., said—l rise, as the president of this society, to return you my best and most grateful thanks for the very flattering manner in which you have received the toast which has been proposed to you, and from the encomiums which your worthy chairman has heaped upon me I am not surprised at the manner in which the toast has been received. I cannot, however, claim for myself any merit for what I have done to advance the in terests of the society. I feel it to be a duty—a paramount duty—in the situation in which Providence has placed me, to do my utmost (however humble and feeble) which may conduce to the welfare of any class of the people of this country. In such a country as this persons were always ex posed to fluctuations, the season of prosperity could not al ways be depended upon. There was no gentleman present who was not exposed to these fluctuations. All classes in the country were liable to the changes attendant upon the rising or falling of trades and professions, from circumstances over which they had no control. But I will not ask any man, be he a husband or a father, whether he does not, or will not, feel, when he comes to be placed in that situation, when lie cannot fail to see that he is about shortly to quit this earth, whether it will not be a satisfaction to him to know that those whom he has left behind, and whom he has most esteemed and cherished on earth, will not be driven, when he is taken from them, to seek relief in the union workhouse. Ido not call such a course of action as would ensure these results " charity," it is an insurance which has been made in prosperous days against the time of adversity. and by so doing it will be found that the dying pillow will be softened by the recollection that his widow and his children will be provided for from that fund to which he has sub scribed.—(Loud cheers.) I feel it to be a great blessing in this great, free, and independent country, that there are so many institutions similar to the present one.—(Cheers.) I was requested by my esteemed friend, Mr. Tattersal, to accept the presidency of this institution. I acceded to his request, because I knew that he would not belong to any institution except the funds of that institution were well and perfectly carried out according to the plans of the society.—(llear, hear.) I claim no merit for my connexion with the present institution. I have accepted the office of president solely with a view to do good, not as a sinecure, and to the utmost of my powers, support an institution which I cannot look upon in any other light than a purely national institu tion.—(Loud cheers.) And in my capacity as president I hope often to have the pleasure of meeting you here. Sir R. W. BUCKLEY proposed the next toast, which was " The Hon. P. S. Pierrepont, and the other vice-presidents, patrons, and benefactors to the fund." The Hon. P. S. PIELREPONT returned thanks. B. PEAnsx, Esq., then proposed " The Treasurer, Mr. Tattersal," who returned thanks in a highly amusing speech. " The Directors of the Institution," was then proposed by F. SALMON, Esq., for which E. TATTERSAL, Esq., returned thanks. .The Hon. Mr. PIERREPONT then gave the health of the new Secretary, whom he said he had known twenty•five years and upwards, and who, on his (bin Pierrepont's) nomination, had been appointed to the office, and he could conscientiously say of him, that if he went on for the next twenty-five years as satisfactorily as he had done the pre vious, he would do credit to himself and be of great service to the institution. Mr. CLARK rose and said, that for the kind manner in which his health, as the newly-appointed Secretary, had been introduced to their notice by the noble founder, and so warmly responded to, he begged to return his sincere thanks. That he could assure thcm his best endeavours should never be found wanting to promote the interests of the fund, and that at.the termination of his services, when ever that might be, he hoped to receive the same feeling of satisfaction that had this day been expressed of him by his noble proposer and founder of the institution. The report was then read by the Secretary, and the com pany separated. The subscriptions amounted to about 7001. During the evening the company were enlivened by some amusing comic songs, excellently sung by Mr. Moody. A young tenor named Genge also sang some solos very sweetly. ~~ ~~~ SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

PEDESTRIANISM. BRIAN AND WARD'S WALKING MATcH.—Tbe ten mile match, for 101. aside, between these bantem pedestrians, came off at Bedford on the 21st, according to articles. Ward went off with the start of one minute, as agreed upon, but it was soon pretty evident that he would not be able to keep any portion of it. No sooner did " little Jemmy" approach him, than Ward abandoned the fair toe and heel 'style, and betook himself to an ambling trot, that if not positive sun ning was so like it as to have lost all the recognised character istics of walking. The referee accordingly called upon him to turn, which he did severa l t i mes, but again betook himself to the objectionable style of going in every spurt. , Finally, the referee gave it decisively in favour of Brian at the eighth mile—Ward " trotting" in in 1 h. 30 in. 33 secs., and the winner nearly 30 seconds after him.

ACCIDENT RELIEF SOCIETY. The annual festival of this institution took place last evening at the Albion Hotel, Aldersgate-street ; Lord Ash ley in the chair. The dinner was served up in admirable style. On the removal of the cloth the Noble Chairman gave the usual loyal toasts, to which ample justice was done. " The clergy," with which was coupled the health of the Rev. Mr. Cole, followed, which that gentleman acknowledged in a long and eloquent speech, enforcing the claims of the charity to public support. Lord ASHLEY then gave the toast of the evening, and en tered fully into the merits of the institution, dwelling upon the happy effects of its prompt assistance to those unfortu nate individuals who had met with any serious accident. Lord J. MANNERS proposed the next toast—" The health of the Noble Lord in the chair." The Noble Lord said there was no occurrence which had taken place during the last session so much to be lamented as the retirement of Lord Ashley from Parliament. There was one consolation, how ever, in knowing that although he had left the House of Commons, he was not lost to the charitable institutions of this country. Lord John concluded his address by drinking the health of the chairman, with a hope that his future life might be as useful and successful as his past had been. Lord ASHLEY briefly responded. He said that next to the success of the measures he had brought before Parliament, he courted no reward so much as the honest, steady, and sober esteem of the enlightened and benevolent citizens of London.—(Cheers.) The other toasts proposed and drunk were the healths of his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, and the rest of the patrons and patronesses; the stewards of the day; the secretary and committee, and the stewards elect. Daring the evening Mr. R. Croxton, the secretary, an nounced the various subscriptions which he had received, amounting to 300/. The company were enlivened by the vocal talent of Messrs. Robinson, Edney, and Ransford, under the direction of Mr. Shoubridge. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen, attended by Lady Portman, visited the Queen Dowager yesterday at Marlborough House.

SOUTHWARK LITERARY INSTITUTION.—A very en• tertalning lecture on the rise and progress of German music was last night delivered by Mr. Henderson, in the tkeatre of this iastitution After a few preliminary remarks, and a slight resume of the origin and progress of music generally, Mr. Henderson entered on the mere Immediate subject of his lecture—German music, which, he stated, consisted, till within the last century, almost solely of ecclesiastical music ; since that period, however, many great German composers had become known to fame, including Gluck, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Weber, the Bachs, and numerous others. Various curious and amusing anecdotes were related by Mr. Henderson in the course of the lecture, which was throughout listened to with great atten tion. Mr. Collins and his talented family executed numerous vocal and instrumental pieces by German composers in a style of great ex cellence ; the splendid overture to Don Giovanni elicited great ap plause by the beautiful and correct manner in which it was played ; the Misses Collins also sang several duets and trios with much taste. Mr. J. Collins conducted. DRAGONETTI'S FUNERAL—The mortal remains of this great artist were consigned to their last resting-place yester day morning, at the Roman Catholic Chapel, Moorfields. We be lieve the original intention was to have performed st grand requiem mass, with full orchestra, but we hettrd that this was prevented as being against the usages of the chapel. The crowd was immense, there was scarcely a place unoccupied, When the service of the dead was concluded, the procession descended to the vaults beneath the chapel. After the Latin service the priest delivered a short prayer in English. Dragonetti's old playmate, Lindley, se emed much affected—for upwards of half a century they had read from th e same books, and never had a discordant word passed between the musical Pylades and Orestes. Several carriages followed the hearse. The procession was joined at the door of the chapel by Mr, Lumley, Balls, FT-' Sign era na.sari, Mr, Rolmes, Signor Pagni, Signor rez;i, Signer F. Lablache, Mr. Surman, and all the members of the p ° reht;ira. There were also a considerable number of amateurs, - "mongst whom we remarked the Duke of Beale, kc.

It commenced by referring to the success which had attended the operation of the college during a period of seventeen years, and con gratulated the friends of the institution that there were now being educated within its walls more students than at any previous anniversary meeting. In the department of general literature and science there were at present 122 students, in the department of the applied sciences 54, in the medical de partment 192, occasional students 85, who, with 502 pupils in the school, made a total of 955. At the Universities, the students had acquitted themselves in an honourable manner. At Cambridge, Air. Hensley was senior wrangler, and first Smith's prizeman. Two were placed in the first class in classics, and six obtained fellowships. In the University of Oxford two had been elected students of Christchurch, and two others had been nominated for election. In King's Col lege Hospital, the number of students was greater than in the corresponding year of 1844 by 3,000; still, the subscriptions to that institution only exceeded those of the same period by 54/. 18s. New buildings for the hospital were about being erected. The report concluded by remarking on the advan tages likely to acerue from the establishment of the theologi cal department. All the Bishops had agreed to admit 5511- dents of King's College as candidates for holy orders, with the exception of the Bishops of Ely and Bangor, who had declined on account of local circumstances. t-law On the motion of GEOAGE COOKE, Lan ., Bar-ris o te f r it Bar: seconded by the Rev.

ST. CLEMENT DANES, APRIL 24.—A vestry meeting was held yesterday evening for the purpose of taking into consider ation a resolution of the committee of the vestry of St. Maryleloone , to the effect " that the committee is of opinion that the Court oers f Sewers, as at presen t constituted, calls loudly for revision, its pow being arbitrary and unconstitutional —its enactments frequentlysop.- pressive—its expenditure enormous and profuse, and that meats. ° taken to ab.dish the present system and establish titheparboesve win,- Court of Commissioners."

PUGILISM. MARTIN AND BANNISH'S CONTEST ON TUESDAY.—The umpires and referee in this affair met yesterday, according to appointment, when, after some discussion as to doubling the stakes for another meeting, which was refused on the part of Martin (although his readiness for a fresh match for 251. or 50/. a side was declared), it was resolved to enforce the 9th rule (of late so ruinously lost sight of), and award the stakes to " the man who, at the time of the interruption, had the best of the battl e ." Thi s was d ec i ded to be Ma rtin, wbo will accordingly receive the reward of victory on Tuesday next, at his head-quarters in Doctors-Commons. For the benefit of such as may not be aware of the regulation, we append it at length. IX. That on no consideration what ever shall any person (except the men and their appointed seconds) be permitted to enter the ring during the battle, or till it should have concluded: and that, i n the event of such unfair practice, or the ropes and stakes being disturbed or removed, it shall be in the power of the umpire and referee to award the victory to that man who, in their honest opinion shall have the best of the contest." It is hoped that this en forcement of the laws of fair play will prove a wholesome pre ventive of the late prevalent disgraceful practices. BROONEE AND TERRY'S AFFAIE.—This long-vexed question has at length found a solution such has might be anticipated. The parties have agreed (hopeless of a decision) to draw stakes. Harry Broome has therefore received his battle money from the stakeholder, and Terry having done the same, all bets are off, and " all is nought, as nought had ever been." This " lame mad impotent conclusion" was, perhaps, to be anticipated, but although distasteful to every lover of fair play, is, perhaps, the best that could be made of a bad case. IRELAND. ACCIDENT AT CASHEL. DUBLIN, APRIL 23.—1 t is not correct, as reported yester day, that any life has been lost in Cashel owing to the fall. ing of the floor of the Court-house. Several are lying badly injured. SENTENCE ON MR. BROWNE, FOR BIGAMY. This day the judges ruled the books in the presence of an unusually crowded court. Many persons of high respecta bility were present who were interested in the fate of Mr. Browne and Mr. Saunders. There appeared to be a general opinion that a motion in arrest of judgment on the former would be made, and granted, on the points raised in the course of his trial. No such motion was made, but the prisoner put in an affidavit in mitigation of punishment, in which he swore he was under age when his first marriage was celebrated. Baron RICHARDSON addressed the unfortunate young man in a most affecting strain, closely reviewing the circumstances and progress of his case. Yielding to the wishes of his coun sel, they had submitted the points raised in his favour to the twelve judges, and those learned personages quite agreed with him (Baron Richardson) that the conviction was per fectly just and legal. The Learned Baron concluded by sen tencing the prisoner to be transported for seven years. Mr. Browne, who appeared deadly pale and much de pressed, merely bowed to the Court and retired to the back of the dock. Several members of the family wept bitterly towards the conclusion of this severe, but just sentence. The case of Mr. Serjeant, convicted of forging a bill of ex change on the late Gen. Saunders, also attracted much • atten tion. The sentence upon him was seven years' transportation. A fact in reference to this person may not 13i deemed out of place here. It appears that in the year 1821 he was con victed of forgery, and was under sentence of transportation when George the Fourth was in Ireland. On the occasion of his Majesty's departure from Kingstown Harbour, and while the royal barge was getting under weigh, amid the acclama tions of the assembled multitude, a respectably-attired female with a paper in her hand, dashed wildly into the water in the hope of reaching the barge. The King exclaimed "ON Save the woman! Save her!" 'On being taken ashu a re Vl_ was discovered to be the wife of Sarjeant; the p j r i T e , sty p w t as i Lion to the King to pardon her husband.
