A meeting of the scripholders in this Company was (in accordance with the provisions o f the sessional orders) called yesterday, at the Thatched House Tavern, sanc tion of the meeting to the prosecution of the scheme St. James's-street, for the purpose of receiving be fore Parliament. The large room was well fi • d, and among the A. r , 1 3 gentle men present, we observed 11, , _Hope Johnstone, I Mr. Hodgson, M.P., Mr. H on 'Elide, M.P.,C01. Graham, Col. Macdonald, &c. the On the motion of Mr . DIXON, seconded by Mr. H. Urine, Mr. Hope Johnstone wa s called to tha chair. The CHAIRMAN said , that be fore the y p roceeded to U the real business for which the meeting had been con vened, he thought it his duty to tell them that an omis sion had occurred in the inserOon of the notice in one of the newspapers. It appeared perfectly correct in all the others, wita the exception of the Edinburgh Gazette of last week. It therefore rested with the meet ing now to proceed under those circumstances, or to adjourn to a later day. He would recommend the meeting not to adjourn, but to proceed at once to business, because he could cite a case in point w here this course was pursued under precisely similar circumstances. The matter came under the considera tion of the House of Commons, who referred it to the Standing Orders' Committee, who found that the proper instructions had been given as to the insertion of the notices by the parties promoting the Bill, and they, therefore decided that in this case the standing order should be dispensed with. If the meeting were to adopt this suggestion then they would issue a repetition of the notices, so that in the event cf any opposition being given in Parliament they might, at the earliest period, hold their meeting in a perfectly legal manner. lie held in his hand a letter addressed to the newspaper agent in Edinburgh to show that the proper instructions had been given, and be would call upon She seeretswatonee to read it. The SECRETARY,' Mr:Marri re'a'd`' if lettottiddressed to Messrs. Robertson and Scott, agents, Edinburgh, or dering the insertion of the notices in the various news papers as demanded by the sessional orders. The CHAIRMAN—It was only on Saturday that they could be aware that these instructions had not been pro perly attended to. Mr. H. HINDE, M.P., said that this meeting had been originally called for the purpose of ascertaining whether they should proceed with the line or not, and whether it should he deemed strictly legal or not, they would still be enabled to ascertain the feelings and wishes of the scripholders. If these feelings were adverse to the fur ther prosecution of the scheme, then it would be only a waste of money to adjourn for a longer period, in order to come to precisely the same result ; if, on the con trary, they were in favour of bringing the scheme before Parliament, they could so deeidesthat day, and the meeting on that day week, if necessary at all, would only be confirmatory of these proceedings. He should move, therefore, that they take a vote of the scripholders present, aye or no, whether the directors be authorised to proceed before Parliament. A SHAREHOLDER thought that as some doebt might be entertained of the legality of their proceeding-, they should at once, without further loss of time, adjeuro to that day fortnight. After a very animated discussion on this single point, in which Mr. Hodgson, M.P., Mr. H. Hinde, M.P., the Chairman, and other gentlemen took part, Colonel GRAHAME said that as he doubted much whether or no they would at the next meeting be in a better position than on that day, he would beg leave to second Mr. Hinde's proposition, that they should go on with the regular business. Colonel 111‘DosTaLek said that many gentlemen had at tended that day, at considerable inconvenience to them selves, and if the meeting were adjourned, without hav ing really done anything, be much doubted whether the same number would be assembled on a future day. The CHAIRMAN said that as the feeling of those as sembled seemed to be that they should go on, he should do so; at the same time they would take steps of advertising another meeting for a very early day. The Chairman then proceeded to address the scripholders. He said—Gentlemen, it now becomes my duty very shortly to state the circumstances under which we are placed with reference to new projects before Parliament. Few will remember that this scheme when introduced to the world was of a much more comprehensive nature than at present, inasmuch as it embraced the complete means of communication between the east coast at Berwick, down to the west coast of Scotland, at Ayr, passing through the intermediate country by way of Kelso, Galashiels, and Peebles. In the course of our proceedings we were met with the most decided opposi tion on the part of the North British Company. They alleged that we were invading a country which belonged to them, and I confess they did this with some degree of justice, because we found that we could not proceed by the narrow valley at Galashiels without making use of their line to some extent. We endeavoured, therefore, to enter into treaties with them, and the result was that we agreed to abandon to them that portion of the line to the eastward of Peebles, receiving their assurance that they would complete the line from Edinburgh to Pee bles. The North British failed on the merits, in establish ing a case for the construction of a railway between Galashiels and Peebles, and they were therefore com pelled to stop in their project of -Communicating with the east of Scotland. With regard to the whole of the western portion between the Caledonian Railway and the town of Ayr—that is the portion which is now in cluded in the Bill before Parliament, and for which this meeting has assembled—looking at the nature of the country which the line is to intersect, I find that it is rich in mineral wealth, which unfortunately however, is now locked up, because it has had :no oppor tunity of being conveyed to distant parts of the country. At present there are in the course of being established an immense number of iron furnaces, and I believe that the result will be a fair ,return for the capital invested. In consequence of the changes which have taken place, I cannot tell what exact traffic may be expected, but of this be sure, that we have already found sufficient evi dence to show that a very satisfactory return may be anticipated. Superadded to tEe plan I have just stated, it is intended that a line shall be carried from Leshma agow to Glasgow, which will open up a field of the finest parrot or gas coal in the kingdom. These coals are now carried twenty-three miles into Glasgow at a great cost, and the traffic alone to Glasgow will remu nerate the railway without taking into account the other great towns on the line. I have therefore no hesitation in recommending that we should go on with the scheme. Mr. BEEVAN wished to know what amount of ex penses had already been incurred. The CHAIRMAN said that they had not been able to get in all the accounts, but he thought that 10s. to 12s. would cover the present expenses. In answer to several questions, The CHAIRMAN said that the total length of line was 78 miles. He was not able to state what the passenger traffic might be, but as the district was populous, and the people active and industrious, he expected that this branch of traffic would be very remunerative. Mr. BEEVAN was desirous of having some information regarding the passenger traffic. Mr. H. HINDE said, besidei the through traffic which might be expected from Ayr and Kilmarnock to Edin burgh, there was every reason to suppose that the ex tension of the Ayr and Glasgow Railway by the Glas gow and Belfast union to Govan and Portpartrick, so as to form a through communication with Belfast, would bring a great amount of the Irish traffic. As to the Caledonian Extension, Belfast was the focus for the whole population of the north of Ireland who sought to pass into Scotland, and when there was a through rail way communication to Ayr there was no doubt that much of this traffic would pass along this line of rail way to Edinburgh and the east of Scotland. He might remark that there were no two towns in Ireland and Scotland that carried on a larger traffic with each other than Belfast and Dundee, and the Caledonian Exten sion would form the most direct railway connexion with these two places. He was persuaded that what with the traffic from Ayr, Kilmarnock, and the west of Scotland, with the Irish traffic coast of Scotland, and vice versa, there would be ample remuneration for the capital in• vested. But while the traffic from Ayrshire to Edin burgh would be necessarily great, he would beg leave to observe that the Lesmabagow branch was the only portion of the scheme that was regarded as a mineral line, and those who were best acquainted with the loca lity through which it will pass say it will be one of the best paying lines in Scotland, independent of any calcu lation for passenger traffic. Mr. BEEVAN said he looked more to passenger traffic probability there was of it p a yi ng the than to goods or min erals . He admitted that on the portion named the min er a l traffic would be v er y g reat. But what he wanted to know was the expense of the shareholdersformation, for th its e construction. The CHAIRMAN said it was estimated to cost 16,000/. or 17,0001. per mile. Mr. BEEVAN remarked that the estimate was not large for a doudle line of railway. The CHAIRMAN believed the mineral traffic on the Lesmahagow line would be very great. He considered the dividend on that portion of the scheme would not be less than that paid on the Wishaw and Coltness Rail way, which was 104 per cent. Mr. BEEVAN—But the mineral lines, like the Wishaw and Coltness Railway, are not constructed in the man tier .it is proposed to lay down the Caledonian Exton e sion. Mr. 11. lIINDE said that regarding mineral lines, it was now found to be the best course to obtain good gradients and well constructed railways instead of the old tram roads. In the district of country whore he resided they had tram-roads in every direction, for the accommodation of the mineral traffic, many of them very rudely constructed ; but they were now taking them up to a great extent and laying down good lines. Mr. ALLAN was of opinion that if t h e eastern b ranc h of the Caledon i an E x tension scheme was cut off, and the portion from Ayr to Lanark on l y l e f t , t h ey could not get a return o n the investment of a milli on o f money . He could not see any possible pro s p ect o f a sat i sfactory re turn to the capitalists. He believ e d t h at at present in o nly one coach ran the direction which the line pro posed to take. The feeling of the large proportion of the Scotch shareholders, as far a s h e cou ld collect i t, wa s against proceeding with the line. The GRA-111JUN called the attention of the Hon. Gen tleman to the fact, that the great proportion of the Edin burgh passengers, on account of the present railway accommodation, went round by Glasgow. Mr. H. lIINDE said the reason which had been urged e with tl which h against the p resent li ne b y Mr. Allan might be urge d with as great p ro p r i ety aga i nst the London and Y or k , because no coach a t p resent ran direct along the route wse and Carlisle wase Railway acq u int of the line to Y or k, th e great proportion of the passen lia . e d Before that passen gers prefer r i ng th e c i rcu i tous route by railway. There ( N ) v f a s t h a e caseN Newcastle the obj ec ti on o f t h e Hon. Proprietor—it was that line was constructed for several years there was not a single coach between the places, yet now the line was paying six per cent.—([fear, hear.) Mr. BEEVAN thought if they proceeded they would. be making a railway to get traffic, not Proceeding upon the data of the traffic that at present existed. Mr. 11. lIINDE replied that it was not so, as it was as Trtained that a large proportion of the Ayrshire traffic that would no doubt use this railway went at present by the circuitous route of Glasgow, merely because there was railway accommodation. At present there were two ways to Edinburgh from Ayr and Kil marknock, by Muirkirk direct, and by the circuitous route of Glasgow. The CHAIRMAN intimated that the difference in fa vour of the Muirkirk route was 26 miles. Colonel MACDONALD, in answer to what had been said about the people of icotland being against the line, remarked that the scrip representing them at the meet ing would show what they really thought of the matter. A SHAREHOLDER said, that from a letter he had re ceived from a stockbroker in Edinburgh, the general feeling there was in favour of going on. Mr. ALLAN intimated that he at least represented scrip to the amount of 2,300 shares against going for ward ; this was as much as could be collected together of the dissentients before he left. A SHAREHOLDER inquired, as the eastern portion of the scheme was struck off, whether there would be an alteration in the amount of shares? The Chwastax—Most probably there will be. Mr. BEEVAN called. on them to.ka k use before taking further proceedings. They shiruYolncaiiidifthe state of the money market before they sanctioned the expendi ture of a million of money. Moreover, he thought, at all events, they should have some certainty of the Cale donian Company leasing the line ere they went further. Mr. H. HINDE wished to say a few words. He was one of the original parties in getting up the Caledonian Eitension who was not connected with the Caledonian Company. He did so on account of the eastern portion of it going through a district of country with which he was connected. That portion had since been lopped off. Still, from his connexion with the scheme, he was now thoroughly convinced that that which remained—the western portion—would afford a fair remuneration on the capital invested. He agreed that they should do nothing rash, and therefore in obtaining the Bill he would certainly not advise the shareholders to proceed with the whole undertaking at once, but to employ the money in hand to the completion of the Lesmahagow portion, which would open valuable and extensive coal fields to the Glasgow market. He knew of no one that did not say that this branch would prove a most valuable concern. Even granting that no other portion of the scheme was proceeded with than this, he con silered it would be well worth all the expense they Would go to in obtaining the Bill ; and that instead of a 4 per cent., they would have a 10, 15, or 20 per cent line, Further, he would advise that the directors should not proceed with the other portions of the scheme till such dine as there was a good dividend on this portion. It had been suggested that the shares should be reduced. lie should think they might be reduced from 251. to 151. each, and he believed that not more than 101. would have to be paid up, as, under the borrowing powers of the Bill, they could raise all the remainder that was necessary. Mr. MASTERMAN said, that though negotiation with the Caledonian Company had, on account of the altera tion of the scheme, gone off at present, he had no doubt the Caledonian Company would be but too happy to re new its offer. It should be well understood that the western portion of the Caledonian Extension is the most valuable portion of it, and it was but reasonable to sup pose that the Caledonian Company would be more glad to lease it now than they would have been had the scheme been left entire. After some further conversation of no material im portance, and the heads of the Bill havity , been read by the Secretary, the vote was taken, when there appeared — Scrip represented at the meeting, 26,167 shares. Assents for proceeding with the Bill 23,087 Dissents Majority for proceeding 20,207 200 share; did - not vote. The CHAIRMAN declared the number more than suffi cient to constitute the meeting, under the sessional order —15,000 shares being enough for that purpose. A resolution, empowering the directors to insert a clause in the Bill authorising the payment of interest on paid-up calls, was unanimously agreed to. Mr. CRANE then moved a vote of thanks to the Chair man for his able and impartial conduct in the chair, which was carried by acclamations. C The ILAIRMAN returned thanks, and said no exertion on his part should be spared to forward the interests of the shareholders. The meeting then broke up. PUBLICATIONS.

WYATT'S COLOSSAL STATUE OF THITDiJKE OF WELLINGTON. Mr. Wyatt's colossal equestrian statue of the Duke o, Wellington, after somewhat like ten years' incessant labour, is at length arrived at completion, and, pullies, ropes, levers, and other mechanical appliances permiting, will, in a few days, be raised upon its pedestal at the top of the triumphal gateway at Constitution-hill. Some idea of the arduous nature of the work which has yet to be done, however, may be gathered from the fact, that the horse and its rider have consumed between forty and fifty tons of metal, and that Messrs. Grissel and Peto's contract for removing and fixing them amounts to 2,0001. The inauguration of this statue may fairly, and doubtless will, be looked upon as a national event. The Iron Duke is a man whom Britain must ever be proud to call her own—.-a man for all time, and far above the littleness of party. We had yesterday the pleasure of inspecting this gigantic work at the artists' studio at Paddington ; but to say that we came away in a condition to give a cri tical account of it as a work of art would be preposterous. As well might the men of Lilliput pretend to take in the contour of their illustrious visitor Gulliver, as well the traveller in the east describe a coup d'ceil of a pyramid viewed from its base, as see that of the effigy of the hero of Waterloo peering up in amaze from beneath his horse's belly-band. Such are its dimensions that a man on horseback may ride between the horse's legs. We descended by a ladder into its capacious stomach, and there found a goodly compartment, in which some fifty men might be packed away, and in which, we are cre dibly informed, thirteen adventurous guests have actually dined. The head, and a very fine one, is six feet in length, a datum upon which the connoisseurs in horse flesh may judge of the other proportions of the enor mous n an i n n attitude a t ease" o foth its four legs, and the hDukeeior re pose, e as in the act of giving tip tended, holdin, 0. a telescop , i s s e i a s l also fi ld f batle As we said be. quadruped' The don the e o. word of comman with the exception of the . right hand, which is ex mature to hazard an opinion as to fore, it would be destined, but our impression is a position to which it is shall look forward to its public favourable one, and we -nearance with interest. the general effect of this statue when elevated in the -idf On 1 Lay ST.

The general meeting of this Company was held yes terday at the Company's offices, Collyer, Esq., in the chair, when the accounts were submitted, from which it appeared that the whole of the sums received by the Company amounted to 228,750/.165., and the expenditure to 227,1211. Ils. leaving a balance of 1,6291. The last year's profit was 2,8561. 10s. sd. The haulage on the new line was 97,854 tons, and the revenue from that line 6,5001. Bs. 3d ; the haulage on the old line was 143,170 tons, and the revenue 1,636/. 12s. 4d. ; from passengers and parcels, 5311. 4s. 4d. ; dock dues, 1,6821. 4s. 2d. ; rents 106/. 13s. 4d. ; interest on traders' accounts, 501. Bs. 7d., leaving a balance, after payment of expenses, of 1,0761. 13s. Bd. A conversation then ensued respecting the form of the accounts, which it was allowed were not put in the most satisfactory manner. To a shareholder the CHAIRMAN replied that there had been a loss of upwards of 5,0001. on the Hercules steamer. The whole of the debts owing to the Company amounted to 5,6871., of which probably about 5001. may be consi dered as bad, but they at present appear as valid. It was suggested that no dividend should be paid ex cept on the money actually in hand, the repairs on the line having absorbed the funds to be appropriated for the purpose. This had been . occasioned by the sleepers having been injured by an unusually high tide, which overtopped a mound and washed the ballast away from under them. Much had also been expended on the locomotive engines, which, however, are so improved that they will each draw ten waggons more than they would before, so that the purchase of another locomotive will be saved, although otherwise it would have been inevitable. To an inquiry as to how it was that the claims of the old proprietors had been so much reduced, The CHAIRMAN replied, the deed which arranged their claims was loosely drawn, and although the conve nience of the new proprietors had not, as agreed, been so much consulted, yet it was thought right to proceed in this way; the new proprietors had, therefore, in all probability, avoided a Chancery suit. The line bad originally been purchased fur 50,000/., of which 1,300/. remained on mortgage. It was then moved that the report be adopted, which stated that the receipts for the year exhibit an increase of 5351. 13s. 3d. over those of the preceding year : this increase has arisen principally during the last three months ; the trade is now good, the demand for Anthra cite and other Welsh coal and culm being steady and increasing ; and as ships may be obtained at reasonable freights, there is no reason to doubt that it will continue to flourish to the end of the season. A surplus of 1,0761. 13s. Bd. appears on the reve • nue account, being equal to about 103. per share ; but the committee did not recommend that this sum should be divided among the shareholders. Mr. Blocs (late Secretary of the Company), after speaking on the satisfactoriness of the report, moved ' an amendment upon adopting it, including the appoint ment of a conjoined Committee of directors and share holders, to ascertain whether it would be wise to lease the line, and to report the result of their deliberations and inquiries to a general meeting. The report was then adopted; but on its consideration The CHAIRMAN stated that the debts in jeopardy amounted to about 3,0001., and that the rate of interest paid to Messrs. Cocks and Biddulph was 5 per cent. The report having been adopted, Mr. Biggs's amend• went was considered as a substantive motion, when The CHAIRMAN stated that the committee of manage ment had not the slightest objection to meet the share holders, though he did not anticipate much good from the proceeding. Sir R. PRICE said that he was not one of the old proprietors or one of the old direct ors , b ut t h at he had come in upon large promises which had never been fulfilled. But, although he and his col leagues wished to hold out no m hopes h which were not well ground e d, yet hesay that the concern had formerly b een overloaded g by bad debts, which were now gradually being cleared off, and that it was now being brought into a profitable condition. Trade appeared to be growing up in that quarter, and notwithstanding that he had no objection to the Com mittee, yet he thought they ought to wait until the South Wales Railway was brought into a position to take the affair off their hands. Mr. HILL congratulated the meeting on the manner in which the proposal had been received by the com mittee. He conceived that the entertaining of this motion would be nearly equivalent to a vote of want o confidence in the committee,' and he should decidedly Oppose it. The better plan would be, in his opinion, that just proposed by Sir Robert Price, as in the event of one large line crossing theirs, the proprietors would be ready to take the line off their hands, and if two great linos should happen to intersect it the Llannelly Company would be able to command their own rate of value, either for the tolls or for a lease. Mr. METT would oppose the motion, and expressed his opinion, that seeing that there were only 18,000/. uncalled for, while there were more than 36,0001. owing in de bentures, he would recommend that no dividend should JUNE 2, 1846. be declared until the concern was in a more satisfactory state. He thought the com pany could not be in better hands than those of the directors, and he would only suggest that less should be expended in attempting to draw traffic on the line, but by carrying the line to Llanidloes, where they sould form a terminus, and the line might possibly be made to pay. Sir ROBERT PRICE and another shareholder stated that there had been such a proposition as this some years ago, but it had been overruled by six to one, and he was afraid it would not be wise to reopen the question. t h i s a n d e d been on lesst the line, than n e. a thanksl. m o n were any v othero tvoted line.t to h i to To a Shar e h o ld er t h e C UAIRMAN s t a t e d, that the title to the line was p er f ect l y soun d , an d t h at t h e l as t c h ar ges Mr. Bi ce rep li ed, the motion was then put and lost. After a few wor d s f rom the CHAIRMAN, int i mat i ng that th ere was a probability of iron furnaces being estab mc meeting separated.and the R the dirt D A l s ß pe E cia C l T gene N ra O l mßeeTtinigiEofN AtorlsW L d A sh Y are .. holders of this C om p any was h eld at two o'calnock yes terday, at the Lond on T avern, for the purposo compl3ing with the ses s i ona l or d ers of both Ho - uses of Parliament, and for the purpose of confirming, or other wise, the amalgamation of the Company with the Lon don and York. S. J. Capper, Esq , occupied the chair. The SECRETARY (Mr. Clarke) having read the ad vertisement convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN proceeded to call their attention to the objects for which they had been called together. He said it was requisite that 56,000 shares should be repre sented at the meeting, two-fifths of which, or between 35,000 and 36,000 were competent to empower them to proceed with the Bill. Such, however, was the confidence reposed in the Directors, that instead of 56,000 shares being represented, the Directors had had 100,000 shares placed in their own hands, so that they might vote in,favetir of proceeding with the Bill without asking any of dm' present to do so.—(Cheers.) After adverting to the confidence placed in the directors of the London and York by the share holders of that Company, who placed in their hands 70,000 shares for the purpose of proceeding with the Bill, and to the high standing of the Chairman in the City of London, he said he felt highly gratified at the great confidence placed in the directors of the Direct Northern—because they represented and were em powered to decide on behalf of persons holding shares to the amount of two millions and a half. 02 A proposition empowering the directors to proceed with the Bill was then agreed to without one dissentient. The CHAIRMAN then drew the attention of the meet ing to the amalgamation with the London and York, the promoters of which had obtained the third reading of their Bill before the Direct Northern had succeeded in passing the Standing Orders' Committee. It was not until February that the House of Lords determined to proceed with railway Bills before entered upon by the House of Commons ; but as they gave priority to Irish Bills, it was not until April that they could go be fore the Standin,:, Orders committee, and when they did go before them they succeeded in passing through the Committee mo§tr triumphantly, as there was not a blot in their Bill. But even after they had passed the Standing Orders' Committee they were compelled to wait until the London and York and the Eastern Counties Extensions were grouped before they could go before a Committee of the liou , ,e of Lords. That Committee was not ap pointed until the beginning of May, when four months of the session had passed away. They had, as they were aware, been negotiating with the London and York Company, who had had the start of them for a length of time, but it was not until very recently that they were enabled to effect an amalgamation with that company suitable to the shareholders of the Direct Northern. The SOLICITOR read the heads of the Bill comprising both the schemes. The estimated cost of constructing the line to York was 5,400,0001., and the capital 5,600,000/, in 224,000 shares of 251. each; calls, 2/. 10s. per share, two months at least to elapse between each call. The united board of direction was to consist of eighteen London and York and twelve Direct Northern directors. Mr. CAMERON inquired the amount of the ex penses incurred by the two companies up to that time? The CHAIRMAN said the expenses incurred by the Direct Northern, up to that time, amounted to 16,0001. Mr. BIRD (a director), said they had nothing what ever to do with the expenses incurred by the London and York. Mr. CAMERON said he understood the expenses of the London and York were much greater, a portion of which, he understood, the Direct Northern would hare to pay. The CHAIRMAN said, of course the expenses of the London and York were greater, as they had nearly passed through Parliament, whereas the Direct Northern had not. Of course, under the new circumstances of the two Companies, they must help them to pay their ex penses. Mr. CAMERON said he understood the Direct Northern shareholders would lose a share out of every three they held, in consequence of the amalgamation with the Lon don and York. The CHAIRMAN said it was true that they would only have two shares fur every three they now held, in order to equalise the shares of both the companies by bring ing them to 251. each. The London and York, there fore, would lose considerably more than the Direct Northern, as their shares were 501., and as they had consented to reduce them to 251. Their sacrifice had been the greatest. Mr. CAMERON said it appeared to him that the share• holders would derive more by the breaking up of the Company than by an amalgamation, as the London and York shares were at 301. per cent. discount. A VOICE—How long will they remain so? Mr. RICHARDSON considered that the directors had made the best bargain in their power. He was at a loss, however, to understand why only twelve of the Direct Northern directors should sit at the united board. The CUAIRMAIN—This was arranged according to the amount of capital of both companies. The directors besides considered that they ought to give way in that which effected them, and not the shareholders.—(Hear.) The amalgamation was then assented to unanimously. Another resolution was then submitted to the meet- ing, approving of the clauses of the Bill, without preju dice, however, to the power of the directors " to alter, vary, or put an end to the same; or to set up, promote, and continue the undertaking of this company, either by amalgamation with the London and York, or as an inde pendent scheme." This was, of course, a precautionary measure, only to be adopted in the event of some emergency. The CHAIRMAN said he believed that in a very few days the Bill would pass through the Committee of the Lords, and that in a very short time it would become law.—(Cheers.) A vote of thanks having been passed to the chairman and directors, the meeting adjourned. DEATH OF THOMAS BUNEURY, ESQ., M.Y.--We have to record the demise of . Mr. Bunbury, M.P. for the county of Carlow, who expired on the 28th of May, at his temporary residence in the neighbourhood of the metropolis. The deceased, who was 71 years of age, was returned at the last election in 1841, on Tory principles, after a sharp struggle with Mr. Daniel O'Connell, jun., and Mr. Yates, of Lancashire. SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. ALDERMAN PEASE.—We have this week to record the death of Thomas Benson Pease, Esq., one of the aldermen of this borough, the senior partner in the eminent firm of Pease, Heaton, and Co., staff-mer chants, Park-lane, and uncle to Mr. W. Aldam, Jen., olte of our representatives in Parliament. The awful event occurred suddenly and unexpectedly ; for though Mr. Pease had at tained the ago of sixty-three, he appeared, up to the last moment that he was seen alive, to be in a good state of health. We understand that he attended a meeting of one of the committees of the Town Council, and subsequently dined with his son-in-law, Mr. Ford, solicitor, in Park-place, on Saturday afternoon, after which he went home to his own house at Chapeltown, and retired to bed about ten o'clock at night, apparently as well as usual. On the following morning, one of his se rvan t s , at twenty minutes past seven o'clock, Rent into his room, as was his custom, to take him some water for shaving. Mr. Pease it seems. was in the habit, when his servant went into the room, of asking what kind of a morning it was, or what time it was; but not making either of these inquiries on Sunday, the servant, as he was about to leave the room, said—" It's twenty minutes past seven, sir." Receiving no reply to this, he repeated the same words twice more in a louder tone than the first time. Still getting no reply, he wasaawnscdno nlfinding surgeon, regn ala rme d that n ,o fhi Chapeltown, et:ahrei.de dnoidf wasnthoet h th m a e p as i o s r w t breathe,w householdenwent u p tto the dth an teh d ba immediately sent for, and As was promptly in attendance. soon as he arrived he pronounced Mr. Pease to be dead, and said that he had probably been so for about four hours. The bedclothes were not ruffled nor displaced in the least, and there is no doubt that the change from life to death took place without the slightest struggle.—Leedantelkg esseer. DREADFUL SHIPWRECK—LOSS OP the _By Cambria steamer, which arrived in the Mersey on Th ursd ay to y afternoon, intelligence of a distressing nat ure hand, announcing the appalling shipwreck of the KaLscrona 115 liv in a Swedish Indiaman, and loss of n o fewer t h an ea, a dreadful storm off the coast o f Matanzas. From all we hove been able to collect , she appears to have been one of the largest class in the Swedish merca ntile service. In all there were 133 persons o n board. The last port she touched H ava nnah, where she shipped a valuable cargo. On at was ber departure the intention of the commander was to pro ceed direct to Sweden. On the morning of the let of May, when the ship was ahead of the coast of Mantanza, she encountered one of the fiercest hurricanes ever ex perienced in that quarter, during the height of which she capsized and instantly sunk, carrying with her 115 persons —every soul of whom were lost. Seventeen of the crew managed to lay hold of one of the ship's cutters, which, as the vessel went down, floated over the deck and saved them. They endured the greatest privation, being without pro visions and water for several days. They were picked up on the sixth day after the deplorable occurrence, in lat. 25, long. 80. In the course of the same storm, or, as it has been termed tonardo, no fewer than thirteen vessels were driven . ashore on the coast at Cape Cause. Many lives were lost. Amongst the ships wrecked were the Princess Alice Maude, of London, and the St. Martin, from Liverpool. Both were insured to a large amount. SALZBURG, MAY 23.—Her Majesty the Empress of Russia accompanied by the Grand Duchess of Olga and the Crown Prince of Wurtemburg, arrived here yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, where a brilliant cir c le had been for two days expecting their arrival ; this circle will break up by to morrow, and the Empress will proceed on her journey.

GRAND ROWING MATCHES. On Saturday the village of Putney was the scene of two spiritedly-contested matches—ono between five pair-oared boats, manned by members of the Thame s Club, and the other by four-oared boats, manned by gen tlemen of Guy's Club. The prize for contention by the Thames Club boats was two handsome silver cups; course from Battersea to Putney. The following were the crews and colouts:—Light Blue—R. E. Kew and L. A. Kew. Purple—E. Curtis and IL Field. Tri-colour—S. S. Robinson and J.Davis. Yellow—J. Podmare and T. Play ford. Blue and White —R. Cobb and W. Field. The start was beautiful, and the boats were equal up to Wandsworth-reach, a slight lead being taken by blue and white; but light blue ultimately got ahead, and won cleverly by about four boats' lengths. The Guy's Club four-oared scratch match, the course from Putney-bridge to the upper part of Chiswick AU. Prize, a pair of silver oars and rudder. The following were the crews and colours:—Green—.

Purple—Hewitt, Evans , Collins, Bult; Thompson, coxswain. Purple, at starting, took the lead, and shortly after fouled with green, carrying away the rudder of the lat• ter, but she nevertheless came in a winner by four boats lengths. The whole scene was very gay, and the cutters of the various clubs were out.

There is no doubt that Norman's statement relative to the ex tensive robbery committed by him at New York, is true.

As the exposer holds a high reputation among ornithologists as a bird-trainer, rather more than the usual number of would-be purchasers appeared upon the spot. Several canaries sold at ss. each, and parrots from 255. to 80s. A fine-looking bird of the latter class was put up at 255. Pretty Poll's organ of self-esteem seemed to be excited by his being offered at such a low price; and before the auc tioneer had time to utter any recommendations in her favour, the bird commenced a round of swearing that would have " beat Banagher." The audience seemed electrified by the unlooked-for display of the bird's powers- Every oath raised his value a crown, till lie was finally knocked down at 31. ss.
