The society men were paid an additional allowance of ss. per man, and the non-socisty men that of 3s. per man, to makeup respectively 15s. and 10s. for the past week, as voted by the executive council on Monday night. The executive! council, as has been before stated, had intimated to the labourers that they conld extend them no further pecu niary aid; but it being found yesterday bat a sum not much exeeeding 40/, was all that had been received from public subscriptions —the sole source from which it had been proposed to support the labourers, of Mama in - London, ' about 1,000 aro thrown out of work, and which would 'yiehl au alluwahce of 0111 Y about nizrepence per muss tor the week--the executive council added a donation from its 00/1 funds, se' as to rare the silowance to ls. ficl. hibourer. The depntation, to wheal tt.is sum wad paid " 4 expressed gratitude for tiro ,dotratim , , - while bewailing t'le unfortunate position in - which they.fuund threin. , :adves oviiyg to, u d,hpute notaeli the, kitillvd workmen and their'etap/oycrs,.in ..sitieh the labourers had taken no part. Toe deatitate 'condition of these unfortuns:o • men may be judged of from the f , ct that this allowance of Is. 6cl. per mar, with the allowance of 3e. made last week, making a total of 4s. se., has been the sole means of support upon which the great majority have had to rely; ; and as, unlike the skillet] artisans, their earnings while in work were too' low to enable them to provide i n any degree against the occurrence of such a contin gency as has now come upon them, it is to he feared that, should the dispute continuo for any length of time, a vast amount of suffering will be experienced by them, unless public subscriptions flew in more rapidly than Nes hitherto been the case. The number of society men In London, who received 15s. for the week,`was about 800; and of non-society men, who received 108., about 170; from which it appears that a large majority of the skilled engineer workmen in the metropolis are connect e d w i t h the Amalgan at", 4 reciet7. The COUDed towards the support of the boiler-makers::-,uo nal been discharged. A deput Aiwa from the Lord. Nelson Society of Silk Hatters last night waited upon the council with a dona tion of 15/. -.MAncue.sTER, TUREIDAT.—The master/ were 10 meet at their offices in Cross-street this afternoon, to receive the deputation which visited. London at the end of last week (as reported at the time), to confer with the Cen tral Association of Masters, and to discuss the resole dons which were come to. The character of those resolutions has not been permitted to transpire, but we believe that our information as to . the desire to open their shops entertained by some of the masters, upon terms which we have already named, is considerable. Whatever the Manchester masters decide in relation to the subject, will form the subject of consideration by the London masters before it will be acted upon. The po sition of the operatives continues to inspire them with the utmost firmness ; if the present supplies be con tinued the dispute may prove a very long one, so far as they are concerned. The very politic step has been adopted of paying something to all who are out of em ployment ; and they appear to have an eye to the future as well as the present, for even apprenticee,who may form the society at a future period, are assisted. Yesterday was the second pay day since the turn out on the 10th inst., and the numbers applying in Manchester and Sal ford were -788 society men at 15s. 205 engineers, not society men, at 15g 154 780 labourers, at 55....., 195 Jinaary, 1852, THE THIRTEEN HOUR ROUTE to DUB LIN.—On and after the 2d of February, Second-class Passen- PM will be conveyed by the 9 30 A.m.

During the heavy gales of last winter the walls at Harrington and Lowca Point were discovered to be exceedingly weak, and were as often repaired. A portion of the wall at Lowca was entirely rebuilt, but the directors, being advised that the destruction oftbe walls had been gradually going on, considered it their duty to call in some practical man to examine and re port upon the whole of the walls. Mr. Rendell, the eminent engineer, was consulted, and, after a careful inspection, reported that the walls had not, in the first instance, been constructed of sufficient strength, and that the execution a the work in some respects was of an indifferent, and in others of an inferior . cha racter. He advised the rebuilding of the Lowca and Harrington walls, which was done at an expense, in cluding previous repairs, of 6,0001, part of the money being paid out of revenue, and the remainder charged to capital. The principle upon which they were re built, and the workmanship, appear to have been good, no casualty having since occurred at either of these P • oints It was not consid ere d t h at t h e ot h er wa ll s called for any interference, from the fact of their not being exposed to the action of the sea to the same ex tent as the Lowca and Harrington walls, and there fore sufficiently substantial for their situation. In fact, so great was the confidence in their adequate 'less, that, with respect to the wall in question, only a short time ago it was not deemed unsafe to remove a quantity of rubbish which had been placed there to protect it. It has been observed, however, during the last fortnight that the waves set in with great force at the point referred to—namely, between this town and the village of Parton, the first station from White haven at this end of the line. Added to this, the tides, owing to the prevalence of the very high winds, have risen to a great height, but, from what we can learn, no. apprehension was entertained for the safety of the walls. The tide, however, to-day rose still higher than it had done on any previous day, and, the wind blowing strong, it washed violently against and over the wall. It w as high water here at five minute s past one, but long before that hour it was quite evident that with the combined action of wind and waves the walls must sustain more or less damage. About noon they exhibited marked signs of weakness, and shortly afterwards portions after portions were observed to give way, until at last it was feared the whole of this ' part of the line would be carried away. The officials at this end of the line were early on the spot ; but, under the circumstances, nothing could be done be yond taking the necessary precautions to avoid the occurrence of accident to any of the up-trains, one of which was nearly due. In one place at high water a considerable portion of the wall was completely broken down, and there was only too much reason to fear it would be carried away altogether. As the tide receded the havoc of the winds and waves during the last hour displayed itself more and more, and of course before it had completely ebbed the result was too evident to be mistaken. For a space of 50 yards the wall was completely destroyed to the level of the shore, and the embankment, which was about 20 feet high, carried wholly away into the sea. Scarcely a vestige of earth was left, and the stones, rails, and sleepers were scattered all along the shore for a considerable distance. The wall for several hundred yards presented evidence of shocking de struction, the coping stones and other heavy masonry another place, violence eon only l y being dislodged, and in others com p le t el y carried o a f w the ay. wind o s a h n o d w sea,the effectwe observed o fthecombined at shortimmense r distance oe whichfrom the must bravedof this the disaster, elementsn for centuorriiegs,intaolrnsituuapt,ibann.d lying at some dis tance fny m its from must of course be a considerable time before the whole of the damage will be repaired , and in the meantime it is intended to receive and dispatch the trains from Parton, a village about two miles from here, and convey the passengers by omnibuses to this place.

The patient was Thomas Burrows, a Ta bourer, at Barnet, aged 22, who had been attacked sone years ago with a disease of the nose, which was gradnaly destroying that organ.

He was then re moved to a warm bed in one of the wards, where he will re main until perfectly recovered.

In the course of the election of the officers appointed annually by the Court, Mr. TRESHAM took the opportunity which then pre sented itself to Question the utility of an officer, whose duties appeared to be connected eith the shifting or the measuring of fruit. He believed that the class to which that individual belonged impeded and encumbered the business of the fruit-tnerchents, ate their absence upon all oecations from the vessels would be most desirable. Deputy 'JOLT admitted that the officers, whose duties were slid to be connected w i t h the shifting of fruit and other commodities, were c er t a i nly a very great nuisance and expense, and ought t o be got r id of altogether with the greatest practicable e xpedition.—.(H ear , h ear .) Mr. PHILLIPS said that those who came down with Such wholesale condemnation - did not seem to know that some of the officers of whom they wished to be relieved had purchased their situations. —(Hear, hear.) Ho believed the gentleman to whom particular allu sion was made had paid for his office as much as 3,0001. It could not, surely, f or a moment be sup. posed that the Court could think of annihilating the office without giving compensation to the person who held it.—(Hear, hear, and murmurs.) That sum of money had certaialy been paid f or the place—some said to the Lord Mayor, some said to the Court of Al dermen, and some said to the Court of. Common Council —(Laughter)—at all events to one or other of these authorities e,OOOl. had been given, and those / who con stituted the present Court could not act such fla grant injustice as to condemn without listening to the vindication.—(hear.) - Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR said lie aepreheitied that blame might attach to the present Corp oration i f he d i d not state with whom the sale of offices o r i g i nate d . , Th e disgraceful system commenced in the reign of George the Second, and flourished in the greate r part of the reign of the successor of that monarch, and the pur chasers(Hear.) Formerly it was the practice the offices.— e off ,the Corpora tion to sell possessed offices, and a baser practice could not exist; but for a consid era b le t i me so ula o f the itsright important there bad been an abatement of the evil, and he hoped the time was not distant when the alienation or sale of offices in the Corporation would be unknown, Deputy HARRISON said it seemed to be forgotten that the Corporation had, in the year 1823, come to the re solution that the practice was highly objectionable, and ought not to be allowed.—(Hear, hear.) / Since that period every opportunity had been taken to purchase the right of alienation in the instances which presented themselves. He could not see why any objection should be made to the appointment of the officer. alluded to, under the present circumstances. Money had been paid for the place, and money must certainly be paid to the proprietor of it before the Court placed it in the list of condemnation.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. MIIGGRIDGE said the 'public had very great reason to complain of exactions made by certain officers appointed by the Court with respect to the shifting or metage ot:corn.—(Hear.) Those persons presented a very serious impediment to trade, and were generally consi dered to be an insufferable nuisance. He was determined to make every effort to abate such a nuisance; and, for the purpose of accomplishing this:the more effectually, he would give notice of a motion upon the subject for the consideration of the next Court.-.-(Hear, hear.) Sir JAMES DUKE approved of the intention of Mr. Muggridge to bring forward in a formal manner a ques tion which he had no doubt would be heartily welcomed by numbers of his fellow.citizens. Mr. BLAKE thought the Court were bound to bring forward this question without the usual ceremony; but the majority were of opinion that enough had been said to-show that the Corporation were not asleep upon the subject, and the notice of motion was accordingly en tered.

Clerkenwell Improvement Commissioners, authority is given to the Corporation to take, erect, and build on the land vested in them, or to be purchased by them, such and so many improved dwelling and lodging houses for the poor, fitting up the same as they , should think expedient, and letting . them to labourers, mecha nics, and other poor persons, as they should see fit; your Committee, consequently, referred it to the City's architect to consider of the most desirable situation, in or near the line of the new street, for the erection of such lodging-houses, and this honourable Court, on the 23d day of October last, placed the sum of 42,4692 es., Reduced 3 per Cents., at our disposal for purchasing and clearing the requisite ground for the same. "It will be in the recollection of this Honourable Court that, by the Bill introduced into Parliament in the year 1850, powers were sought to be obtained for effecting an improvement at the west end of Thread needle-street, which, owing to the opposition in the House of Lords from the parties whose interests were principally effected, was obliged to be abandoned; the matter, however, was deemed of sufficient importance to be renewed, and negotiations were opened by them with your committee for that purpose, when, after several meetings, we ultimately agreed with them as to the basis for effecting the improvement, subject to the sanction of the Legislature, and reported the same to this Honourable Court, on the 30th day of October last, who were pleased to agree therewith, and authorised au application to Parliament accordingly. " In our report, presented to this Honourable Court on the 18th day of February, 1851, we stated that we have not been able, from the pressure of business before us, to prOceed in the consideration of a petition from the inhabitants of the ward of Tower for an improvement in Mark-lane to a sufficient extent to justify us in sabmit ting any recommendation thereon; since that time we further considered the subject, and on the 2d day of May last, reported upon all the references, recommending the Honourable Court to enter into a treaty with Messrs. Henry to purchase sun ry freehold property belonging to them at the corner of Mark-lane and Tower-street, for the purpose of widening the street at that point; the Court was pleased to sanction our report, and to authorise the measure to be included in the application to Parliament in the en. suing session. "Towards the latter end of the year our attention was drawn to the reference of the 9th day of March, 1848, upon a petition of the merchants, traders, and other inhabitants of Dowgate ward and its immediate neighbourhood, for widening Dowgate-bill, and your committee, after hearing the patitionerP, and being in formed that the Tallow Chandlers' Company, who were the freeholders of nearly all the property required, would be willing to concur upon reasonable terms for setting back the same to the extent required, presented a report to this Honourable Court, on the 30th day of October last, recommending that we should be authorised to give the necessary notices for 'an application to Parliament in the ensuing session for the purpose. The Court was pleased to agree with this report. The notices have now before Parliament. been given accordingly, an d i s i nc l u d e d i n t h e measuro " Having thus generally detailed our proceedings connected with the improvements within this City, which have our attention during the last year, it now remains for us to report upon the state of the funds placed at our disposal. a We have consequently to state, in the first instance, that we received during the year 1851 the sum of fortu additio n e dit t to erm u thereto, o 25,0001., being the balan ce o f t h e sum of 300,000/. agreod to be advanced by the governor and company of the- Bank of England to the corporation, at an interest of 41. per ften the ye sum years from February, e tn of 140,000/. has been raised b y the Chamberlain at the rate of 3il. per cent, per a nnum f or a period of ten years, cper annum , and leaving a sum of 60,000/.

Chamberlain's accounts of the various funds under our management as under:- Ist. Of the receipts and payments in respect of the fund created by the resolution of this Honourable Court of the 25th day of September, 1845, by which a charge of twenty thousand pounds per annum was made on the City's duty of fourpence per ton on cosh', to be applied towards effecting further public works and improve ments withinjhe City, as the Corporation should direct, including the discharge, with interest of the BUM of 50,0001. raised under the order of the Court of the 18th January, 1844, towards effecting certain improvements in the vicinity of the Royal &change and in Maiden- Lane, from thecommeneenient of the account to the 30th day of November last, by which it appeared that the whole receipts, including the said sum of 50,0001., had amounted t; the sum of - 196,0021..148.8d., and the ex- penditura of the sum of 148,6491. 10s. lid., leaving a balance in hand on the 30th day of November last, of 47,3531. 3s. 9d., to which the sum of 20,0001., the City's contribution for the year ending the 25th of September last, has since been transferred, the state of the City's cash having permitted the sam; to be done.

Of moneys received and paid by the Chamberlain in respect of various public works and improvements ef fected upon the credit of the aforesaid fund, from the commencement of the account to the 30th day of No vember, 1851; by which it appears that the receipts, in cluding the loan of 300,000/. advanced by the Bank, and 140,0004 advanced as above mentioned by various parties on account of the loan of 200,0004, had amounted to the sum of 473,2761. ss. 7d., and the disbursements to 436,731/. 4s. 9d., leaving a balance in hand at that time of 36,545/.

The prices in this trade are still declining, and it is reported that considerable underselling has been resorted to among the lesser manufacturers since the conclusion of the quarterly meetings. This appears consequent upon a falling off of orders in the nail and chain trades bf the district, and other branches of hard ware generally, all which seem to have become ex ceedingly quiet. In Manchester, business, as may be expected, is in a complete state of atrophy on ac count of the engineers' strike; and the same is the case in that portion of the London trade which chiefly found a consumption for Staffordshire make. For foreign orders the demand continues brisk, and prices rule un altered. Indeed, at the present moment our principal dependence is upon the export trade ; and while the larger houses are finding fair employment, at those works where the produce is confined to our own country uses but little business is doing. An effort is being made on the part of the manufacturers to induce a reduction in the make of iron by refusing to take their usual supplies of pigs, except upon lower terms, well knowing that the prices at which they have latterly been purchasing are already unremunerative. This, it is thought, will compel several of those furnaces least favourably situated to be put out of blast, and thus reduce the aggregate amount of make. But how far the matter will be proceeded with is a matter of speculation, since it is a fact that at very few of the works uncon nected with blast furnaces is there more than a month's stock of metal on hand, and at many not that quantity. Statements have appeared, within the last few days, of great expectations entertained by some fromt he finding of ironstone in Northamptonshire, which, it is said, will materially assist the Staffordshire ironmasters in com peting with the Welsh and other districts. At present the nature and quality of the stone, :its contents of iron, &c.; its fluxing and working, together with the cost of raising' and transit, are too imperfectly known to form any estimate of its value here.—Aris's Birmingham Gazette. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. RAILWAY BILLS ON STANDING ORDERS. On Monday Mr. J. Smith and Mr. T. E. May, the ex aminers of petitions on private Bills, appointed by the House of Commons to inquire into their compliance with the Standing Orders of the House, met, for the first time, in Committee-rooms No. 16 and 17, in pursuance of the Speaker's direction. There was a numerous at tendance of Parliamentary agents, solicitors, and en gineers, and after the usual inquiries, which occupied from eleven o'clock until five, the Standing Orders were declared to be complied with in the case of the following Bills: Chester and Holyhead Railway (for extension to Bir kenhead, regulation of capital, and alteration of tolls). South Yorkshire and River Dun (extension into and near Isle of A xholtoc). Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway (No. 3, fur altering tolls now authorised to be taken by the North Staffordbhire Railway on the Trent and Mersey Navigation). Vale of Neath Railway (extension of railway and further works and powers, abandonment of part of au thorised works, and further power as to capital.) North Stz.ffordshire Raibi ay (No. 2, for powers to make railway and branches Isom Colwich to Wolver hampton and Wednesbury, and establish mixed gauge). Partially hea r d. The standing orders were also declared to be complied with in the case of the following general joint stock Bills:—Hatfield Chase Drainage and New Outfall into Trent, Bradford Piece Halls, Cork Improvement, Royal Harbour of Ramsgate, Wolverhampton Gas Company, Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (new reservoir and additional money), and East London Waterworks (for amendment of Acta and raising further capital). KENDAL AND WINDE RMERE.—The statement of ac counts for the meeting on the 31st instant shows a net balance of revenue of 1,4441. os. 7d., after providing for bond and preference interest. The usual half-yearly di vidend of ss. per share absorbs 1,1171., leaving a surplus of 3271. to add to reserve, then amounting to 1,927/. 6s. 9d. LONDON . AND NORTH-WES TERN AND GREAT NORTH ERN.—We nave much pleasure in being able to state that tho injurious differences between the above com panies with respect to a division of the traffic to and from the towns of York, Leeds, Wakefield, Doncaster, Lincoln, and Peterborough, have been amicably settled. We believe that on Thursday last Captain Huish (the general manager of the London and North-Western Company) and another gentleman connected with the line, and Mr. Seymour Clarke (the general manager of the Great Northern Railway) with another gentleman connected with the company, met, at Oxford, Mr. Glad stone, to whom the matters in dispute have been re ferred. We understand that three points were raised, and that they were settled in favour of the Great Northern Railway. The two companies will now charge equal fares to the towns above mentioned. This will be exceedingly beneficial to the revenue of the Great Northern line, inasmuch as the London and North- Western Company have, through the very low fares they have been charging to the towns enumerated by us, se cured a very large proportion of the traffic, and thereby abstracted from the former railway much of that trade to which they say they have a legitimate claim. We have no doubt, from the information we have received, that the two companies will now work their traffic in friendly spirit to and from all points where they come into competition with each other.—Herald. LONDON AND GREENWICH. The half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors was hold yesterday afternoon, at the company's offices, Coleman-street, for the purpose of declaring a dividend on the unprivileged shares, and electing directors in the place of Mr. Josiah Wilson and Mr. Thomas Corvey who retired by rotation.

GENERAL ROYAL G ANNUITY SOCIETY.—The an nual meeting Monda of the sub scr ib ers to th i s i nstitut i on was h e ld on y at the London Tavern—W. Pownall, Esq., in an nuitants chair. The reortasdtadteedd to t h in t . he t p t as t t . y n ear an th d irt s fi x en al had been e ore would d be elected on that day. Vi s ve annuitants had died uring the last year. At the anniversary festival held on sth February, 1851, a large addition lied been made to t he fund s of the society. The amount paid to annuitants had been 1,1881. 103, being the largest suns paid for nineteen years. It was to be regretted that no addition had been made to the subscriptions and donations of the year ; but, on the Contrary, ,they had fallenlofr by the sum of 7621. 15s. 4d. The usual anniversary would take place in February next The expenses uf the institution had been greatly reduced, and only amounted to 6591. 03. 9d., as compared with 1,0921. 2s. in the preceding year, showing a decrease of 4351. 2s. 5d., and there was every hope they wouid be still further diminished in succeeding years. The receipts for the year had been 3,6381. 18s., and the expenditure 1,9641. 13s. 9d. The report was adopted, after which the election was proceeded with. LoNoEVITY.—There is now living in the parish of Pitminster, near here, a woman, aged 104, named Betty Oaten, the ages of whose living progeny are 80, 78, 65, 63, 61, 54, 53, in all 558. She has also 40 grand-children and 200 great grand - children now living, and several descendants i of the fifth generation 1 She is supported partly by parish pay, and partly by the benevolence of the ladies and gentle mea in the neighbourhood, who know her extreme old age. She has always subsisted on the most simple diet. -- iirestcr " Flying Post. 1,773 940 To this 9401. dispensed in the payment of 1,773 men, a sum must be added for 195 apprentices paid a third of the wages they were receiving when at work. The total amount probably will be about 1,0001. spent in the support of the unemployed. The money paid this week is one-half more than it was last week, an order having been received by telegraph last night to pay 15s. per man instead of 10s. paid last week, the state of the funds permitting it. The support received from the pub lic has enabled the society to hand over 140/. to the la bourers' fund, and that body of men is now paid by them, though from a separate fund. A series of meetings has been held,by the non -society men, to determine whose position they ought to espouse, in antieipation of the masters making the offer wo have referred to, and in two of the shops—Sharp's and Hethrington's it is said—the resolution was to hold to the cause of the men. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY AFTERNOON.—A general meet ing of the engineers and mechanics in .Liverpool district was held yesterday at their club room, the Odd Fellows' Hall, Sir Thomas-buildings, which was very numerously attended, for the purpose of considering whether any further steps could bo adopted to bring about an acco modation with the masters. The chairman having briefly recapitulated the proceedings of the body, and shown that the case of the men in this district was en tirely different from that of other districts, no complaint being made here of systematic overtime or piecework; and instead of the shops being closed entirely, as in other districts, a few parties only being picked out for the of fence of being members of the society, which to them stood in the place of an insuraeco or provident society, proceeded to declare that they had no desire to be at cross purposes with their employers; on the contrary, they were anxious to eoEciliate them, if possible, and had met that night for the purpose of ascertaining if any thing could be - suggested -- tetrillg alscierifqtalt meta. After some dismssion it was determined unanimously that a d, putetion should be ap pointed out of their own body, to wait upon the masters, having previously prevailed upon two or three merchants or gentlemen of the town to accompany them as mediators. The members, however, guarded them selves against its being supposed that in any case they could consent to resign their clubs. They were only anxious that they should bo permitted to occupy their old position, or remain neutral, like the men of Birming ham and Bristol. If their employers refused an accom modation on these terms, it could only be because, as they bad before admitted, they bad bound themselves beyond recall to the masters' club. We understand that the men who were dismissed from Messrs. Forrester and Co.'s, and Fawcett and Co.'s foundries, in consequence of their connexion with the Amalgamated Society, still remain out of employ. Both masters and men adhere to their determination to hold out, and at present there does not appear to be any pros pect of an amicable arrangement. The number of men discharged from the two establishments above alluded to is thirty-four, and they are said to be some of the most skilled workmen in the various branch es of the engi neering business. At the Southwark County Cou rt y esterda y , one Casey, a labourer recently in t he employ of Messrs. Maudslay and Co., was summoned by the Waterloo Loan Society for the balance of a loan for which b e was surety. Defendant said he certainly was the surety, but he was unable at the present time to pay a farthing. In fact he was starving ow i ng to the strike of the engineer His Honour—What are you, then?
