The Committee of the London and York Shareholders, finding that the Directors, without sonsulting the Shareholders, or calling a public meeting to ascertain their sentiments, have entered into ar rangements by which the Shareholders will be sacrificed unless they protect themselves, beg to call attention to the following terms of amalgamation which they have arranged with the Eastern Counties Company, subject to the approval of Parliament. Ist. That if the London and York Bill shall not pass into a law, and the Extension line to York of the Eastern Counties Company be sanctioned by Parliament, in the present or next session, the share holders in the London and York Company who shall assent to the amalgamation prior to the decision of Parliament on the Bill, shall be enti' led to one Eastern Counties (York Extension) Share of 151., in respect of each 50/, share in the London and York Company, and of each two London and York Extension Shares of 254. That each such Share of 151. shall, when so issued, be credited with the deposit of ten shillings, as having been paid thereon. The Committee with the greatest confidence appeal to the Share holders, collectively axd individually, whether the terms of this amal - gamation be not far preferable for their interests to those announced by the Birectors of the London and York Company on the sth of May, as baying taken place with the Direct Northern Company. The advertisenfint of the London and York Company, calling for the Scrip to be brought in and indorsed with the terms of amalga tion with the Ditect Northern Company, is evidently for the purpose of informing Parliament what number of assents to that amalgama tion have been given. In like manner, and for the like purpose the Committee request the Shareholders to produce the Scrip to their Com tntte. at No. 4, Oise-lane, accompanied, to save time, with a me morandumsii stating the n of the name and address of the holder, the quantity compared and d atid the distinguishing numbers; and, on these being the holde r the found correct, the Scrip will be marked, so as to secure Company. w.,. 12T , benefit of the amalgamation with the Eastern Counties L"°B y an o d rd e e e r rt o 4 f in. equally gearan f I ,n Preferable in a pecuniary point of view, and the Committee, London4r s d ise Y • o la r n ` e. 4 Shareholders' Cemmitteergoo"insir, PHILIPPS.

If you get shares marked so as to entitle you to Eastern CountiesEstension" shares, you will have the benefit of the Eastern Counties Extensions, if their Bill passes, and can fall back on the Amalgamation with the lirect Northern, if the London and York Bill passes. If you consent to the Amalgamation with the Direct Northern, and the Loudon and York Bill fails, you lose all chance of the Eastern Counties offer. T hink which i s b est. You will, in a fey; days, find binding your shares to ithe Direct Northern Amalgamation will make them un is_?leable.

EXTENSIVE FIRE AT BIRAIINGHAM.-SAGACITY OF A DOG.—BIRMINGHAM, THuitsDAY:—This morning, at one o'clock, a fire took place on the premises of Mr. John Sutton Nettleford, an extensive screw manufacturer. of Baskerville, Birmingham, and 54, High }Tolbert', London. At eleven o'clock the person whose duty it was to examine the premises every night went round the manufac tory, and finding all safe, went to bed is one of the workshops ; but about two hours afterwards, he was aroused by his dog, who jumped on his bed and commenced scratching his face until he awoke, when, 'to his great astonishment, he found a portion of the building in flames. He then raised an alarm, and information was immediately sent to the district and other offices, from whence the engines were dispatched. On their arrival, some difficulty Wft B experienced in obtaining water, but in a short time a copious supply was obtained from a canal, which is near the works, and the engines then played with effect. About four o'clock the fire was subdued, but not until a very large screw and turning shop were destroyed, and a large por tion of valuable tools rendered useless. Had it sot been for the great exertions of the firemen, the flames would have extended to a far more valuable part of the establishment, where the finished work was kept. The exact amount of the loss is not known ; but it is roughly estimated at 1,0001. The cause of the fire is not known, but it may have been occasioned by a spark from a smith's forge in the screw shop. The occurrence has thrown 200 persons out of employ ment, and it will be some time before they will be able to resume work again. SYDNEY AND WEST INDIA LETTERS AND NEWS PAPERS.—On Thursday a large number of boxes of letters and news- Papers from Sydney, arrived at the General Post-office.

TYE-BROWS, MOUSTACHES, and WIIIS KERS produced in a few weeks by using an essential Spirit drawn from choice Aromatic Herbs, the peculiar propertied of which are known only to the Inventor, and although perfectly inno cent in itself, will produce new Hair on bald places, caused by weak ness of constitution, or where Nature has not bestow'ed this orna ment of the human figure. It has been known to many of the Nobi :ity and Gentry upwards of eleven years, some of whom the Inven tor most sincerely thanks for their attestation of its merits, in the cet tainty of restoring Hair and giving it additional lustre and strength. Its virtues are manifold—it prevents the Hair from fall ing off or turning gray; a few drops on the crown of the head will remove the most distressing pain in that part produced by or at tended with faintness ; and is acknowledg, d by the Faculty as the only specific known to cure that disease of the head called Porigo de calvans (which causes the Hair to come off in patches) ; a few applications remove' dandruff. This wonderfld.discovery is fullrea plained in a pamphlet, containing testimonials to its regenerating new Hair upon bald places, entitled, " Three Minutes' Advice on the Growth and Preservation of the Human Hair," by W.

MARSHALL, Chief Cashier. Dated the 7th day of May, 184 G: SERIOUS FIRE IN THE lIARROW-ROAD.—Thursday morning, shortly before five o'clock, an alarming fire suddenly burst forth upon the premises belonging to Mr. John Price, an omnibus proprietor, at 20, Hermitage-street, Harrow-road, Paddington. The flames, when first discovered, were raging in the stabling, a range of buildings nearly fifty feet long by thirty wide, in which about a dozen horses were deposited. Alarm being given, the proprietor of the premises rushed into the stables for the purpose of saving the animals. The smoke, however, being so dense, he was obliged to run out of the place, and it was expected that the whole of the horses would, together with the stables and contiguous buildings, have been destroyed. A . number of po lice-constables,: with the tenants o f the adjoining habitations, succeeded, after considerable trouble, in rescuing from the flames a number of the horses ; but, whilst they were so engaged,th r e e tl a rl g fell upon the hind quarters of a valuable ani ma l, and, ta on ts reaching the street, it ran against a lamp-post and brockerniesuffocated,at head in, and shortly after expired. Another of the horse s became an abanda d,and nee perished. The engines were soon on the spot, of water being obtained, the firemen were enabled to get the flames extinguished before seven o'clock, but not before the roofs of the buildings in which they originated were consumed, and the contents in the lofts over destroyed. Th e s t a bl es of Mr. 1 , rice were closed at eleven o'clock the preceding night, when all appeared perfectly safe, as usual. The cause of the fire could not be ascertained. RETURN OF AN INNOCENT CONVICT.—Joseph Mason, late of Clifton, Yorkshire, who was at the York Lent Assizes, 1843, unjustly sentenced to twenty years' transportation, reached London on the afternoon of Wednesday, the 29th ult. and on the followin g day appeared at the Home-office, where sufficient money was given him to convey him to his home, near the city of York, where he arrived on Saturday night. He was welcomed by his 'wife and ehildren,- and, as may be naturally supposed, both husband and wife were very much affected after so long and so unjust a separation. Before Mason left London he waited upon his benefactor, Mr. H. H. Yorke, M.P., to express to that gentleman his gratitude for his unwearied exertions on his behalf. On Sundaylast a party of Mason's relatives arrived in York to welcome his return, and were delighted to find him in such good health and spirits. REPRESENTATION OF MONMOUTHSHIRE.--A requisi tion is in course of signature, calling on Captain Edward Somerset to offer himself, in the Protection interest, as a candidate for the representation of the county of Monmouth. Lord Granville Somerset, aware of the active canvass carried on against himself, .has already issued an address to the electors, in which he says—" I am unwilling to disturb the county of Monmouth, when Parliament may continue for a considerable time. But lam fearful lest my silence should be misconstrued. I now, therefore, take the liberty of informing you that when the time to enter upon a contest shall arrive, I shall appeal to you to decide upon my merits as your representative." GRAND ENTERTAINMENT AT THE CAVALRY AND INFANTRY BARRACKS AT WINDSOR —A splendid banquet .was given at the infantry barracks on Tuesday by the officers of the Grenadier Guards, to the colonel and officers of the 2d Life Guards, and many of their respecti ve f r i ends. In the evening the nobility and g entry of the neighbourhood, to the number of nearly two hundred, were pro sent, by invitation, at the performances of the Ethiopian Serenaders, who had been expressly engaged by the officers of the two regiments for the occasion, at the theatre. A. grand ball was afterwards given by the officers of the 2d Life Guards at the cavalry barracks. Be tween 300 and 400 of the principal families in Windsor and Eton were present. SOCIETY FOR THE PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL.— Yesterday the 145th anniversary of the society was publicly cele brated by Divine service at St. Paul's Cathedral. His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury arrived at the cathedral at half-past three, and a procession was formed which moved into the church, where the dignitaries took their seats. There were present eleven bishops, four deans, five archdeacons, the Lord Mayor, eight aldermen, the sheriffs, and a large number of clergymen in full canonicals. Full cathedral service was performed, and the sermon was preached by the Bishop of St. David's, from the 7th chapter of St. Joint's Gospel, verse 6. A liberal collection was entered into at the close of the service. GENERAL NOTT'S TOMB.--Th e m plete tomb veteran, at Carmarthen, has just been cod. Of the lamented A SIMPLE MODE OF PROTECTING FROM LIGHTNING BUILDINGS Win( METALLIC RooFs.— Houses covered with metallic roofs are more liable to be struck with lightning than those covered either with shingle or tile. Fortunately they can be perfectly pro tected by very simple means. To accomplish this, the roof must be put in metallic connexion with the ground, by means of the tin or copper gutters which conduct the water from the roof to the earth. For this purpose it Is sufficient to solder to the lower end of the gutter a riband of sheet-copper, two or three inches wide, surround ing it with charcoal, and continuing it out from the house till it ter minates in moist ground. The upper ends of these gutters should be joined to the roof by a slip of sheet-copper. The only part of the house remaining unprotected by this arrangement will be the chim neys ; and, to secure those, it is only necessary to erect a short rod against the chimney, soldered at its lower end to the metal of the roof, and extending* fifteen or twenty inches above the top the flue. gory, Faulkner, Gregory, Nicholson and Sons, Samuel Shann, cloth finisher, Leeds, May 25, and June 15, Warr a i n ng d t S on it . irrow, Bedford-row, London ; at eleven, at the Leeds District Court.

It is made of sheet iron, in the form of nearly a regular cylinder, about 33 feet in length, and 13 feet diameter, weighing upwards of 50 tons. Its construction enables it to float either on the surface or under water, without any exterior agent. It has a screw propeller, by means of which the persons on board are able to make it move in any direction, guided by a rudder. On each side of the propeller are two paddles, by meant, of which it is made to sink or float at will. The weight necessary to sink it is about 40 tons of ballast, which may be of lead, sand, or water. no water is taken in or forced out by means of pumps. The beat re quires eight men to work it, and it can remain four hours ander water. A quantity of air may be compressed in a reservoir l t as o se a s n . atmospheric degree, proportioned to tile depth to which thea to be sunk. It has also an apparatus which enables the w bo a t is on board to leave her through a n a p erture at the bottom, and work out side the boat with a supply of air. It is lighted by s-eye similar to those used for cabins iff large ships. After making so me trials in the Seine she is to go to Brest, and be employed in endea vouring to raise the Republican, a ship which sunk in that port more than 50 years ago.--Gralignani.

(From The Sun of Last Night.) The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was steady; about 6,000 bales were sold, including 1,000 on speculation. Prices were withbut alteration. The Share market was flat is the early part of the day, but became more active, and closed with some improvement. The Share Market was rather dull to-day, but still a con siderable amount of business was done. At the auction sale of Messrs. Wickham and Co. a vast number of shares were disposed of, but the prices realised showed a great depres sion. We select a few quotations.

An article appears in our Morning Contenaparary (the Times), which requires a remark or two, in order fairly to set a question a t rest with respect to th e ' probable influence .upon the m oney market, by the Bills for new railways L'which will no doubt be sancti one d i n t h e present session of a lls liament. It i s stated in a leader this morning that aro' likely to pass, representing a capital of 40,000,0004 sterling, and an inference from this is drawn that of necessity the money market must be cramped , and the en erg i cs.of the country impeded by so large a num ber of Bill s receivingLegislativo reality, and, as a conse quence, were the premi ses well founded, astrin upon the a va il a bl e capital of th e c ountry. To thos e who arc interested in advancing new railway projects, it is a m ar a e tte s r n of certain calelation that long before millions in new rail wa y s t h e labourers will receivepclue reward for their exertions, and all other branches connected therewith,"absorb but temporarily large amounts of money, which in the ordinary course of things must tend to fructify and advance the interests of all. It is a pure bugbear to assume that public or private works within the country can be a disadvantage to the masses. The abstraction of British capital in subscribing for foreign loans and mining specula tions, have proved a real eyil. Money expended in railways intended to be formed in this country must be of advantage to the labourer, the manufacturer, and all the connecting links of wj-iich the community is formed. A sabjcct connected with:railway scrip. has been a matter of some conversation to-day. It appears forgeries have been committed to some extent, and that of one projected line not less than two thousand shares, or thereabouts, have found their way into circulation. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have the matter under their consideration, and probably may be able to find a remedy against a repetition of so scandalous a fraud. We cannot, however, agree with re marks made in some quarters, that the public sales of scrip and shares, which now so frequently occur, facilitate the cir culation of spurious representatives of value. The share brokers of the Stock Exchange are naturally jealous of this great innovation upon what they think their vested rights, and hence a desire is entertained to throw obloquy upon the open sales of scrip and shares. There are no late arrivals from the British colonies to-day. Consols for the Account have ruled from 96% to 1 ,4 this morning. Exchequer -bills are extremely firm at 245. to 275.

PRICES SECOND REPORT PROM THE SE.; LECT COMMITTEE ON RAILWAYS AND CANALS AMALGAMATION. The Select Committee appointed to consider the principle of Ansala; gamation as applied to the Railway and, Canal Bills now under the consideration of Parliament, have further examined tho matters to them referred, and agreed to the following re-. pert : Your Committee have stated, in their former report, that there are about thirty-two Bills before Parliament in which power is sought to effect the amalgamation of canals with railways. These may bet classed under the following heads;- Ist. Bills for the amalgamation, by lease, purchase, or otherwise, of entire lines of canal with competing lines of railway. .Bills for the amalgamation of some canal forming a link in di chain of water communication with a line of railway competing wily the whole chain. idly. Bills for converting canals into railways. The present extent ofinland navigation in Great Britain, by means of canals, is estimated to be about 2,50 e miles. Up to a very recent period It afforded almost the exclusive means of conveyance of heavy goods and merchandise from one part of the country to the &the, and especially from the principal :manufacturing districts to the outports. On the introduction ofrailways, and in the early period of their de velopment, when want of experience and the absence of inforrnation " as to the capabilities of the new system, rendered it Impossible for the Legislature to impose proper restrictions and limitations on the tolls and charges of the various companies, the competition which they had to sustain with the canals checked any great abuse of the powers delegated to.them. As the railway system extended itself; improvements in its organization and economy placed in turn a, check upon canals, and the consequent competition materially re duced the expense of conveyance. Instances have been adduced be fore your Committee in which the charges for the conveyance ef mer chandise have been lowered by these means to one -seventh of their former amount ; and there are now few parts of the country whirl& have not derived material advantage from the competition between; railways and canals. It is obviously of importance that Parliament should not - lightly sanction any arrangements which would tend to deprive the public . of this advantage ; and it has been a subject of consideration with your Committee, whether, inasmuch as the future maintenance of com petition depends in some degree on the complete independence of the hin, erf a eren i c t e mig wit h h t a n li o n t k be rna th ygr e ea du t t of lYy and dieially affect the whole chain, it might not be the duty of I rlia l a veiu - - ment to refuse its assent to all Bills uniting the interests of th e now deaierallly system, ffec and any interference rival parties. Did your Committee believe th a t th e t wo sys t ems could be pre served in entire independence one of the other, they m i g ht b e dis the posed to recommend th e H ouse to adopt this course. But in progress of their inqui r y, severa l reasons have suggested theme,'vas , showing the difficulty of securing the canal interest altogether front the interference and control of railway companies, or of affording to the former a full opp ortun i ty of testing its capabilities as a rival system.

Another consideration which must not be overlooked is, that although it has been stated that with proper management cantles might maintain a successful competition with railways in the car riage of heavy goods, still such competition has hitherto been carried. on under a great disadvantage, owing to the large profits made by railway companies on passenger traffic, which enables them to submit in some instances even to a loss on the carriage of merehandise, with a view to withdraw the traffic from canals. Even, however, where effective competition has been for a time maintained, it has been attended with such a large reduction of' profits, that it has become the interest of the rival companies to combine for their mutual advantage, and hence have arisen private arrangements under which a higher scale of tolls and charges, has been re-established. It has indecd been shown that in certain cases increased advantaged might be obtained for the public by the union of a canal and rail way through the same line of country, under one management, sub• ject of course to proper check and control. The general conclusion, therefore, to which your Committee have come is, that it would not be politic altogether to refuse the sanction of Parliament to the amalgamation of railways with canals. They would, however, strongly impress upon the attention of the Com mittees to whom Bills, whether for the amalgamation of canals with. railways, or for the conversion of canals into railways, may be re ferred, that a most searching inquiry should be instituted into the merits of each case; and that their sanction should be given only in those instances in which it shall have been clearl amalgamatio n y proved that the can be effect e d w i thout pre They venture t o su b mit the following p j oints as ce to the public. deserving of coneb• deration in the case of all such Bills : Ist.

Subject to this observation, your Committee refer to the suggestions with respect to tolls and charges contained in their former report, and which they consider equally applicable to the amalgamation of railways and canals. 2dly. Strict regulations should be made for maintaining the canals in an efficient state of repair, and for. securing a proper supply of water. :idly. Power should be expressly secured to tine public of carrying passengers and all kinds ofgoods and merchandise on canal. 4ffily. The privilege of making bye-laws should be subjected to a careful revision. Many of the canal companies exercise much power in this respect.' They are authorised, for instance, under these laws to suspend the navigation of the canals for various purposes, and during uncertain( periods; and though this power may be innocuous so long as it is exercised by a party directly interested with the public in the Molted exercise of it, it is obviously one which may be used with great and detrimental effect to fair competition, by parties so disposed. sthly. In cases of the conversion of a canal into a railway, care should be taken that no district is deprived of efficient means of gene ral communication, and the company should be compelled to afford due facilites of acmes to canal companies and ether parties who may be affected by the change. Your Committee further feel it their duty to advert to the circum stance, that powers of amalgamation contained in that large class of Bills which are not exclusively for amalgamation, have in some cases escaped general observation, owing to no separate notice having been gives of the intended application for such powers. They recommend, that for the future, in all cases of amalgamation, a separate notice should be required, which should contain a table of the rates pro posed to be inserted in the new Bill. some, t Your Committee offer these suggestions to the House as affording hough by no meats a perf ec t security, to the public interests- The system of railways and canals is now become so extensive, and their relations amongst themselves are so complicated, that no enactments passed by Parliament for their government and regula tion can provide for all contingencies, or be properly carried into effect, unless by the aid of some more efficient machinery than any which exists at the present moment. After mature consideration, your Committee have come to the conclusion that it is absolutely necessary that some department of the Executive Government, so constituted as to command general respect and confidence, should be charged with the supervision of railways and canals, with full power to enforce such regulations as may from bale to time appear indispensable for the accommodation and general interests of the public. Your Committee, in their former report, adverted to the case of private arrangements between railway companies as requiring serious consideration. The evidence they have since received has shown that arrangements of this nature between railway and canal. companies may affect the public interests to a still greater degr ee; and they are cominced that the only effectual mode of obviating the evils which might arise from an abuse of the powe! derived from such private arrangements, will be tbund in the constitution of such an authority as they have now recommended. Your Committee entert a i n no doubt that a department so-consti tuted might, in additions to these duties, afford material assistance to, Parliament in railway legislation. • It might save, by preliminary investigation as regards facts, much expense to parties applying for Bills, and much of the valuable time of both Houses, without in any way interfering with the paramount powers of Parliament, and its sole adjudication as to the rights of property.
