Pay attention, good reader, we beg, if yo u p l ease, To say a few words on potato disease. Last year the potatoes were sadly amiss And thousands were robbed of a needful like this. Nor does the calamity any way cease, But, alas 1 on the contrary, seems to increase. Ev'ry week, every day, tells a sorrowful tale, That the crop of potatoes must certainly fail. Never mind we must bear it as well as we can, And try to adopt some remedial plan. Though potatoes are dear on account of the rot, Let the public remember that clothing is not. E. MOSES and SON sell habiliments cheap, And you'll Lind at their warehouse a plentiful heap. Although the potatoes have prov'd se unsound, No faults in the garments of MOSES are found. And hence will the public, by purchasing these, Be meeting, half-way, the potato disease. Though one pocket loses by injury done. The other's enrich'd by E. MOSES and SON ; And had we the talent and learning of Plato, We could'nt say more on a " rotten potato." LIST OF PRICES. 111/DY MADE. s. d.

The Committee of Management, having now ascertained the amount of the liabilities of the Company, and having also fully in vestigated the merits of the project, have much satisfaction la sub mitting the following propositions for the acceptance of the share holders : let. That it is not expedient at present to renew the application to Parliament for the entire line from Northampton to Cheltenkam. 2d. That a renewed application be made to Parliament in the next session for a line from Northampton to Banbury. 3d. That for this purpose the capital be fixed at 450,0001., in 22,500 shares of 201. each, which shall be offered to the shareholders in the Northampton, Banbury, and Cheltenham Company, in the proportion of one new share in exchange for every two shares In that undertaking. Parties accepting this proposition will Lave credit for a deposit of 21. 25. upon each new share, and will be entitled to receive back 125., the proportion remaining in hand of the deposit of 41. already paid on two shares in the old undertaking. The London and North-Western Railway Company have agreed, under a joint direction, to subscribe one-third of the capital, and to take a lease of the line in perpetuity, with a guarantee of 41. per cent. per annum, and half of the surplus profits. The Committee have great satisfaction in stating that they have no reason to anticipate any opposition to interfere with their obtain ing the Act in the ensuing session of Parliament, and that the traffic on the line will be such as to render it highly remunerative to the Shareholders.

The time occupied in the transit of the statue from Dudley-grove to Constitution-hill was rather more than one hour and a half. Mr. Wyatt was present and actively engaged in super intending the movements of the workmen. He was ac companied by his four sons—Mr. Wyatt (of the Queen's Household), Mr. George Wyatt, Mr. Henry Wyatt, and Mr. James Wyatt, the latter of whom, we believe, has very materially assisted his father in the production of the statue. Mr. M‘Cullum (of Woolwich Dockyard) had the prin cipal direction of the workmen employed yesterday Mr. R. Dale (of Messrs. Godings' firm) exercised a ge neral superintendence over the locomotive power, and Mr. Ellis (of Messrs. Grissell and Peto's firm) had also an active part in the arrangements. Each and all per formed their respective duties most admirably, and we heartily congratulate Mr. Wyatt and all parties con cerned on the successful issue of their united exertions. It is a curious fact, that the principal drayman who had the charge of the wheel horses is an old Warterloo man. his name is Matthias Butcher. He obtained his discharge from the army in 1820, since which period he has been in Messrs. Godings' service. The poor fellow evidently felt no small degree of pride yesterday in his possession of a Waterloo inedil. COURT-MARTIAL at HOUN S LOW. A district Court-martial assembled yesterday at the barracks, Hounslow, to try private Thomas Matthewson, of the 7th Lancers, on a charge of insubordination " and using insulting and disgustingly abusive language" to Lance-sergeant: Robert O'Donnell, his superior officer, accompanied with threats of violence. The charge was brought forward by Lieutenant Viscount St. Lawrence, as prosecutor. The 7th Lancers having left the barracks, no officer of that regiment sat upon the Court-martial, which was composed of the following members :—Lieutenant-Co lonel Smith, Royal Horse Guards, President ; Captain G. C. W. Forrester, of the Blues ; Captain Mansell, Captain Morant, Lieutenant R. H. Smith Barry, Lieu tenant Sutton, and Lieutenant H. Sutton, of the 12th Lancers. The Court having been opened in the usual manrer, and the prisoner pleaded "Not guilty," Robert O'Donnell, Lan ce - sergea n t of 'the Hussars; was sworn. He deposed as follows :—I was sergeant of the guard at Hampton-court Barracks on the 20th inst. I was at the Trophy-gate about a quarter past six o'clock in the evening, when private Thomas Matthew said, " You b— b—, I'll break your b— head." I asked him who he meant. He said, " You and that other old b— (meaning Sergeant Jones) ; I'll break both your b— heads for you." By the prisoner —Did not witness first speak to me? Witness—Not when the prisoner was on sentry. By prisoner —Did he not tell me that I could not have my sentry hours changed? :Witness—l told him a quarter of an hour before I posted him that he could not have the hours changed. Prisoner—Do you know if there is a regimental order that when a non-commissioned officer visits a sentry on duty he must be accompanied by a private of the guard? Witness—l was not visiting the sentries; I was on duty, but was not going my rounds. The prisoner put no further questions to this witness. Matthew Routh, corporal of the 7th Hussars, sworn-- Was on guard at Hampton -court on the 20th inst.; was standing near the front gate when the sergeant of the guard (O'Donnell) came in; the prisoner was on sentry at the Trophy-gate; he turned round,and spoke to the sergeant, but he (witness) was not suffi ciently near to hear what took place between them. By his manner, prisoner appeared to be speaking (Es:- respectfully to the sergeant. That was all he knew of the matter. In answer to questions by the prisoner, witness stated that on the Saturday he had not told prisoner he could not have his sentry hours changed. On the Wed nesday he had received an order from the acting regi mental sergeant-major to take a man with him and inform private Matthewson that the commanding officer could not grant his request, and neither would he see him. Prisoner—Did you consider Sergeant O'Donnell sober at the time? The COURT directed the prisoner to confine his ques tions to what took place at the gate ; the point he had referred to would come in his defence. The prisoner put no further questions, and the evi dence for the prosecution being closed, it was read over, and the prisoner called on for his defence. Private Matthewson then made the following state ment:—" Sergeant O'Donnell came to me en Saturday at Hampton -court, and told me I could neither have my sentry hours changed or be relieved. I said I was very sorry, as my brother-in-law had just arriv, d from the East Indies. He then went away, called Corporal Routh, and said something to hie, that I did not hear. This was the conversation which the cot p. ral overheard." The COURT—The corporal states he did not hear the conversation. Prisoner—That was the conversation which took place between me and Sergeant O'Donnell. w hen Cor poral Routh was standing by. 'NOthing more Occurred . between me and the sergeant. The charge In-ought against me by him is unfoundtd and without one word of truth. I also wish to state, that the sergeant was drinking in the canteen before he went on guard, and afterwards, and that he told Private Hutchings he might post himself on my sentry, for he would not do it. The COURT—Private Hutchings should have been produced as a witness. Prisoner—He has left with the regiment. I do no t consider the sergeant was so b er at the time. When he came into the guard-room at night he laid down on the floor and was to all appearance quite drunk. I have nothing more to add; all the witnesses I could have called have gone with the regiment. The COURT—Did you apply to the commanding officer to have any of the witnesses detained? Prisoner —No, I did not; I thought the sergeant would have told the truth. The Court was cleared for a short time; on its being re-opened, Corporal Routh was recalled; in answer to a question from the Court he stated, that Sergeant O'Donnell was perfectly sober when he was talking to Matthewson. The defence was then read over to the prisoner with the above addition to the evidence, and the Court again cleared. When again opened, Lieutenant Viscount St. Lawrence produced extracts from the regimental books of the 7th Hussars, the books themselves having gone with the regiment. He deposed to their being true copies, and having stated that the prisoner had been duly warned that any former convic tion would be used against him, proceeded to read the minutes of the former trial and conviction of private Matthewson on the 22d of June, on two charges of inso lence to Sergeant Temple, of the 7th Hussars, while in the execution of his duty, and disrespectful and insolent conduct to his commanding officer, Colonel Whyte. On these charges Matthewson was sentenced to a punish ment of 100 lashes, which was carried into effect. In answer to questions from the Court, Lieutenant Viscount St. Lawrence stated that the prisoner's age was twenty-three years and six months, that he had been six months in the regiment, and that in his previous general character and bearing he had been insolent and extremely disrespectful towards his superiors. The proceedings then terminated, and the Court broke tip. The sentence will not be made known till confirmed by the Commander-in-Chief. A very considerable number of passengers left town on Sunday morning last for the continent, by the steamer Antwerpen, Captain Jackson. Amongst them were the Countess de Talbot, Lady Vernon, Baron Wurtzr, Colonel Watson, &e. THE JAPANESE LANGUAGE.—The language of Japan is radically different from the Chinese, and is rich in grammatical forms and flexions, of which the Chinese is almost totally destitute ; the syntasical construction of the words also departs wholly from the Chinese, but in what family of languages the Japanese should be classed is not yet determined, as it seems to hold as isolated a place among the languages of Asia as the Basque does among those of Europe. In the year 660 8.C., Zin•mu, the founder of the Japanese empire, settled in the island of Nippon, in the province of Jamato, where, ever since, the purest d , alect of the Japanese has been spoken. In the northern and southern parts of the empire the language is not so pure, owing to frequent immigrations and intercourse with strangers. The old dialect, in all its purity, still prevails in poetry, at d even at the Court of the Emperor attempts are still made to keep up its use. The works of Confucius were translated into Japanese in the third century of the Christian era, but it was not till the sixth century, owing to the intro duction of Buddhism from China, that. the study of the Chinese language was universally diffused, so that every Japanese who has the least pret,nsuns to belong to the educated classes, is perfectly master of the Chinese, as well as of his own language. The Chinese characters are used by the Japanese, but only to express sounds. The learned German, Von Siebold, is the first who has devoted himself, con amore, to the study of the language and literature of Japan, of which his masterly work, '• Nippon," gives striking proofs. Siebold had the good fortune to meet with much support from Mr. Medhurst, the English missionary at Batavia, and is said to be now engaged in the service of the English missionaries in that quarter. A DISAPPOINTED BRlDE.—Yesterday morning a fresh instance of the truth of the old saw, that " the course of true love never did run smooth," occurred at the parish church at West Hackney. The brido ex pectant, Miss Y-, the daughter of a respectable tradesman residing in the parish, was there, with friends invited on the occasion, in two carriages, at the appointed hour, the rev. incumbent of a neighbouring district church going with the party to solemnise the ceremony, but after waiting the full time allowed by the canonical law no bridegroom made his appearance, nor was any apology sent for this abrupt termination of the promised match. The absent Lothario was seen at an early hour of the morning making a hasty exit from the distrisOis fast as his legs would carry him. A CAUTION TO OMNIBUS TRAVELLERS BY NIGHT. — An old trick of the omnibus conductors has lately come in vogue respecting the change which they give. A number of instances hare occurred where a party has, on leaving an omnibus at the West-end (coming from the Elephant and Castle), handed the conductor half-a crown, upon which he immediately takes a coin from two different pockets, hands it to the passenger, jumps up on the monkey-board, and cries " All right ; go on." On the party looking to see if they have the right change, they sometimes find, to their cost, that they and a farthing. The principal only victimsr e received ed a shilling females.

Yesterday Elizabeth Balders, aged 25, who keeps a lodging-house in High-street, Wapping, was brought before Mr. Ballantine, charged with stealing four sove reigns, one pair of small shoes, one silk handkerchief, and a towel, the moneys and property of David Smith, a porter, and also with stealing two pieces of cotton, and two wreaths of flowers, the property of Maria Wall, a servant. It appeared from the evidence that Smith, his wife and children, and the young woman Wall, has just ar rived in the Royal George from Port Philip, in which colony they had been staying five years. They landed on Monday, and were recommended to the house of the prisoner. The greater portion of their property was deposited in a press in a bedroom in the house. The tore women and the children slept in one bed, and Smith reposed on a shake-down in the same room. In the course of the night Wall, who happened to be awake, saw the door open, and the prisoner enter the bedroom with a lighted candle in her band. She went to the p ress w h ere the travellers ' clothes and containingother owpe pieces e sdeposited, printed and cotton, opened a which thep p r ro e 1 . c secutrix had pur c h ase d on l y the day before. The pri soner remained near the p ress some time, until Wall a made a movement in the bed, on which the prisoner came to the bedside, seated herself on a chair, and re mained there some time. Wall continued watching her, and saw her put her hand underneath the pillow. The prisoner, on leaving the bedside, went towards the shake-down, where Smith was sleeping. Wall now thought it high time to awake her bed-fellow, Mrs. Smith, and informed her the landlady of the house was poking about the room. The prisoner made some excuse for being there, and immediately quitted the apartment. Mrs. Smith awoke her husband, and asked him if his money was safe. He put his hand into the pocket of his trousers, where his gold and silver were deposited, and feeling money there believed all was right. It was then agreed nothing more should be said or done until they got up in the morning, when Smith counted over his money, and missed four sove reigns, a pair of shoes belonging to one of his children, a towel, and a silk handkerchief. The travellers also missed various other articles. The pri soner, without admitting she had stolen anything, said she would sell her press rather than have her house ex posed, and requested the parties would remain in the house till eleven, when everything would be made right. She then took Mrs. Smith and her fellow-voyager, Wall, into several rooms, under pretence of looking f or th e lost money and property. At la s t their patience be came exhausted, and Smith called in a police-coustable, named Gifford, No. 169 H, when the prisoner again re peated that she would restore everything in the course of the day. The travellers, who were anxious to get to their respective homes in Ireland and Scotland, did not wish to give the woman into custody, but Gifford would bear of no compromise, and began to search the house, when he found several of the articles concealed. Gifford took her to the station-house, where she was strictly watched by Lowe, 37 H, who saw her drop a sovereign on the ground. She was about to pick it up, when Lowe anticipated her, on which the prisoner said, "If you are going to keep that, you may as well take the rest," and delivered to him 17s. 6d. more, which was all she had. The prisoner, notwithstanding the weight of evidence, said she was quite innocent of the robbery. Mr. BALLANTINE committed the prisoner for trial. John Campbell, a young man, was brought before Mr. Ballantine, charged on a Custom-house information with smuggling 131 b. of foreign manufactured tobacco, by which he had incurred a penalty of 1001. James Jones, a Thames police-officer, stated that he was on the Brunswick-wharf; at Blackwell, and saw the prisoner go on board the Triton, from Ostend, lying alongside the quay, where he remained for upwards of an hour and a half. Soon after sunset he saw the pri soner come up out of the forecastle of the vessel, get over the paddle-box, the top of which was then nearly level with the wharf, and jump on shore. The prisoner was about to go to the railway terminus, and pay his fare for London, when he was stopped by witness and asked if he had any goods liable to duty about him. The prisoner declared he had not, but his assertions failed to satisfy him, and witness caused him to be stripped, and found his body and legs covered with half pound papers of compressed tobacco fastened to him with twine. There was another paper of tobacco in his hat. He found upon the prisoner twenty-three parcels in all. Mr. Cornell, appraiser of condemed goods, said foreign manufactured tobacco was liable to a duty of 9s. sd. per lb. The duty upon that taken from the prisoner was 61. 2s. 10d., and the value 133. only. The prisoner had no defence to make, and Mr. BAL LANTINE sentenced him to pay 1001., and be imprisoned till it was paid. Mr. Beverly, clerk to the Solicitor of Customs, said the prisoner had often been convicted before, on which a woman in the court said, " He works very hard, gen tlemen." Mr. BALLANTINE—We know be does—at smuggling. NAV AL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—The Hastings, 72, ad vanced ship, was undocked again yesterday, and to•day he was again replaced at her moorings. The Fairy was taken into the dock from which she was removed. The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert was removed to her proper moorings from off Weevil Creek yesterday, from which we may infer that her Majesty's aquatic ex cursions for this season are concluded. The Retribution steam-frigate, Captain S. Lushington, arrived yesterday from the squadron. She has come home in consequence of some defect in the fitting of her engines, by which she is constantly, when her fires are lighted, in danger of catching fire. A survey has been ordered by the Board of Admiralty, which is now taking place by Rear-Admiral Parker, C. 8., and Captains Pasco and Chads, who went out to her in the Myrtle steamer for that purpose. So imminent does the danger appear to be, that the floors, and every part near the en gines, are obliged to be kept flooded with water while the ship is under steam. The flooring and engine-room have sunk two inches since this defect was discovered. The Comet steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Johnston, left Cork on the 19th inst., and proceeded for Tralee, but was obliged, in consequence of heavy seas and foggy weather, and having no pilot on board, to put into Bearhaven, where she obtained a branch pilot, and the weather having moderated, she left for the Shannon on the 23d, and after a propitious run arrived in that river on the 24th, and on passing up observed a steam vessel at anchor at Kilrush. She arrived at Limerick on the 24th, and after landing 20 boxes of money, each containing 5001. sterling in small coin, completed coals and proceeded to Tralee, thence to Galway, Westport, and Sligo.__ The — Alban steam transport, Master-Commander Burney, and the Pluto steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Com mander Lowe, were at Limerick on the 24th inst. ; and the Dee steam transport, Master-Commander Driver, was weather-bound about 20 miles from Limerick. The Ringdove, 16, Commander Sir William Hoste, arrivel at the mouth of the Borneo River on the 28th of July, and was to sail immediately to join the Admiral at Houg-Kong. By a pri'v'ate letter from the Actaeon, 26, to the 10th of August, we are informed that Captain Mansel is com ing home invalided. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY AFTERNOON.—We have been on the look-out for the Britannia since last night. She is now eleven days out from Halifax, and is hourly ex pected. No intelligence has been heard from the Great Britain to-day. We expect accounts to-morrow morning. _ _ ROYAL EXCHANGE IMPROVEMENTS.—The exten sive premises forming the corner of Threadneedle-street and Old Broad-street, in the rear of the Royal Exchange, are forthwith to be pulled down, for the intended im provements. These premises embrace a long range of shops and warehouses, extending to the Hall of Com merce, which, when cleared away, will afford a free view of the back front of the Exchange. MERCHANT SEAMEN'S SOClETY. — Yesterday a quarterly general court of the President and Governors of the Corporation for the Relief and Support of Dis abled Seamen, and the widows and children of such as have perished in the merchant service, was held at the offices of the corporation, No. 25, Birchin-lane, Corn hill; B. Benson, Esq., in the chair. The report read by W. Watson, Esq., was of the most satisfactory nature, and the other business, for which the court was called, having been transacted, the required relief was given to considerably upwards of fifty applicants, and the meeting separated, with a vote of acknowledgment to the chairman. _ _ _ POOLE, SATURDAY, SEPT. 26.—FUNERAL OF TIIE LATE W. T. D. TRENCHARD,EsQ.—The rema i ns of the late William Trenchard Dillon Trenchard, Esq., of Lytchett House, in the county of Dorset, were consigned to the family vault of the parish church on Thursday, the 24th inst. The solemn procession left th e f am il y residence at twelve o'clack ; in addition to his own rela tives, he was followed by his numerous tenantry. His loss will be deeply felt by the poor of his neighbourhood. The deceased was the eldest son of the late Rev. Henry Luke Dillon, formerly rector of Lytchett Matravers, grandson of the late Lady Augusta Dillon, and was nearly connected with the noble families of Clanricarde and Clanbrock. He will be succeeded in the estates of Lytchett Matravers, and Child Ockford, by his next brother, Henry Luke Smith Dillon, Esq., who, in obe• dience to the will of the late William Trenchard, Esq., will assume the name and quarter the arms of Trenchard with those of Dillon. SWIMMING MATCIL—Last evening, at the Swim ming Baths, Princes-street, two silver medals were con tested for by a great number of swimmers, consisting ex clusively of the frequenters of the baths. The distance to be performed was five times the length of the bath, which was accomplished in gallant style by nearly all the competitors. The victors were Mr. Mullins and Mr. Pegler ; the former having won the first, and the latter the second prize, which was given to them amidst the loud plaudits of the spectators, who appeared to be highly gratified by the interesting exhibition. BuousGasm PALACE.—Workmen, yesterday, be gan the boarding for inclosing the Palace preparatory to commencing those extensive alterations and improve ments which it bas been resolved to make in it. WELLINGTON TESTIMONIAL. FURTHER PARTICULARS. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, accom panied by his illustrious son-in-law, the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, was among the earliest to reach Mr. Wyatt's residence. Their Royal Highnesses were received on alighting from their car riage by Mr. Wyatt, sen., who conducted them to the studio, from which the statue had not at this time been removed. Mr. Wyatt had the honour of explaining to his illustrious visitors the mode in which the statue was secured to the carriage, after examining which their Royal Highnesses returned to Mr. Wyatt's private resi dence, and took up their position on a temporary balcony erected for the express accommodation of the royal party and a select circle of the artist's friends. The Duke of Rutland, the Marquis of Londonderry, the Earl of Cardigan, Sir F. Trench, Mr. John Wilson Croker, and Mr. Simpson, were among the members of the committee, early on the spot. The Duke of Rutland came to town from Woburn Abbey expressly to take part in the ceremonial, and Lord Londonderry made the journey from Wynyard for the same purpose. His Royal Highness Prince George, the Countess of Westmoreland, Lord and Lady Fitzroy Somerset, Lord William Lennox, Sir John Beckett, Mr. George Womb well, Mrs. Milner Gibson, and a very numerous circle of fashionables, were among those who occupied seats on Mr. Wyatt's balcony. The roof of the same gentleman's house was also crowded with spectators, who had been fortunate enough to obtain invitations. At half-past nine - o'clock the military appointed to take part in the proceedings of the day arrived on the spot. These included the 2d Life Guards, under the command of Colonel Williams ; the Grenadier Guards, under the command of Colonel Home, and two com panies of the Fusilier Guards and Coldstream Guards, under the command of their respective officers. A strong body of police, under Mr. Superintendent Hughes, were in atten to _peigisefess order ; while Inspectors Shackell ayneasillisith a detachment of the detective force ' proved a whol esome c h ec k on t h e depredations of th e light-fingered gentry. Precisely at ten o'clock, everything being in readi ness, the statue was drawn from the interior of Mr. Wyatt's premises into the Harrow-road. This operation was accomplished by the united exertions of 100 men belonging to the Fusilier Guards. The egress of the statue to the public thoroughfare was greeted with tu multuous cheering from the spectators. For a moment some anxiety was felt as to the safety of the colossal work, its enormous weight having caused one of the wheels of the carriage to sink some three or four inches into the ground. By active and well-directed exertions this difficulty was soon overcome, and the carriage shortly afterwards brought to a position in which the horses appointed to drag it to its destination could be conveniently attached. Mr. Goding, the eminent brewer, solicited the honour of being allowed to supply the horses required, and his offer was accepted by Mr. Wyatt. The animals, twenty-nine in number, arrived at Dudley grove shortly after nine o'clock yesterdap morning. Their appearance excited universal admiration, and certainly a finer or better matched stud could not have been found in Lon don. They were severally decorated with branches of laurel, and attended by fourteen draymen, all similarly attired in the costume by long consent peculiar to this sturdy class of individuals. The work of attaching the horses to the carriage, and " preparing for the start," was somewhat tedious, ex tending over nearly two hours. So great, however, was the interest excited by the statue, which now stood boldly forth in all its dazzling brilliancy, that not a single manifestation of impatience escaped the specta tors. The general feeling, so far as could be gathered from the expression of the crowd, seemed to be one of profound admiration and astonishment at the colossal proportions of the work. The interval during which the carriage remained sta tionary was well occupied by a gentleman whose talents have made him familiar with a very large circle of the public, viz., M. Claudet. This gentleman, from the balcony of the Dudley Arms Tavern, which imme diately faces M r . Wy a tt' s studio, made a variety of interesting pictures of the scene by his Daguerreotype process. A somewhat painful feeling of anxiety prevailed among the more immediate spectators as the moment approached to test the locomotive powers of the gigantic carriage with its enormous burden. Hitherto it had been moved inch by inch with the windlass. Now the more effective, though less controllable power of horses was to be applied, and it was impossible to divest the mind of some apprehension as to the result. At length, at twelve o'clock precisely, all being in readiness, Mr. Wyatt, who occupied a position in the front of the carriage (without offence be it spoken, look ing a most Lilliputian personage by the side of his own colossal creation), gave the signal to proceed, and the procession, having been previously marshalled, moved in the following order:— Vidette of the 2d Lite Guards. The Band of the same Regiment. Trumpeter. Two troops of the Life Guards. A body of pioneers belonging to the Fusilier Guards. The carriage bearing the Statue, Drawn by twenty-nine horses, three abreast, And escorted by a troop of 20 Life Guardsmen on either side, under the command of Captain F. M. Martyn. Immediately in the rear of the statue were a body of riggers from Woolwich Dockycrd, who were succeeded by 100 men of the Fusilier Guards in fatigue dress, the latter being in attendance to hold on by ropes attached to the rear of the carriage, in case of necessity. The band of the Fusilier Guards. One hundred of the Fusilier Guards in parade dress. The band of the Grenadier Guards. Two hundred of the Grenadier Guards in parade dress. The band of the Coldstream Guards. One hundred of the Coldstream Guards in parade dress. The procession closed with a troop of the 2d Life Guards. It was originally intended that the members of the committee should have taken part in the procession, but this portion of the arrangements, from some reason or other, was ultimately not carried out. The first movement of the ponderous vehicle was suffi cient to set at rest all fears which might have been pre viously entertained on the subject. Nothing could pos sibly exceed the admirable manner in which it glided with almost imperceptible motion, from its position on the railway-bridge to the front of Mr. Wyatt's resi dence, a distance of about three hundred yards, where it was again brought to stand for th e p urpose of? allow ing the favoured few a last opportunity of admiring its beauties. The passage of the statue thus far was greeted with a simultaneous shout from the spectators, which made the " welkin ring," while the ladies who thronged the win dows and roofs of the houses in the vicinity, as far as the eye could reach, gave vent to their feelings by waving handkerchiefs and other equally gratifying demon. strations. Never, perhaps, was popular enthusiasm more unanimously exhibited, and the occurrence of any mis chance would certainly have been looked upon as a national misfortune. At ten minutes past twelve the procession again moved, the band of each regiment playing the British Grena diers" in quick time. Nothing occurred to impede the progress of the statue on its way through Paddington churchyard into the Edgware-read. The curves which here and there oc cured were made without the slightest difficulty by the carriage, and no stoppage took place until the statue arrived at that point of the Edgware-road where Upper Seymour-street intersects it. Here a short pause was absolutely necessary, to give the animals breathing time, and (if our eyes deceived us not) the drivers a draught of beer. Again in motion, the next stoppage was occasioned by the accidental lock of one of the off wheels against a post in the centre of the crossing of the junction of Ox tord street and the Edgware- road. This difficulty was soon overcome, and the procession moved without any fur ther interruption across Oxford-street and down Park lane, until it arrived opposite Dudley House, where the breakage of one of the shafts attached to the carriage occasioned a considerable delay. The transit so far had been accomplished with much less difficulty than even the most sanguine had antici pated. Scarcely half an hour had elapsed from the period of leaving Dudley-grove, and more than half the distance was traversed. The remaining moiety, it is true, was of es more difficult character, but where all had progressed so satisfactorily there could be little to fear. The injury to the carriage repaired, the proces sion again moved on, amid the inspiriting strains of mar tial music and the cheers of the populace. The sharp turning out of Park-lane into Piccadilly, which had all along been looked upon as the most dan gerous portion of the journey, was made in the most masterly manner, and the horses laying to their work in good earnest, brought the carriage opposite the end of Hamilton-place, in first-rate style. Here another delay of some duration took place, owing to the fracture oc a second shaft (there were five to the carriage in all), in turning the corner of Park-lane. The approach of the statue was observed from the balcony of Apsley House by a royal and distinguished party, among whom we observed her Majesty the Queen Dowager, her Royal Highness the Princess of Prussia, their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cam bridge, their Royal Highnesses the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Meeklinburg-Strelitz, his Serene highness Prince Frederick of Hesse, his Royal Highness Prince George, her Royal Highness Princess Mary, the Earl Howe, the Countess of Westmoreland, the Marchioness of Worcester, Viscount Strangford, Lord and Lady Fitzroy Somerset, Sir Andrew Barnard, the Right Hon. H. Pierrepont, Mr. Culling C. Smith, Mr. Hardwick, Lord Charles Wellesley, and the follow ing members of the committee:—The Duke of Rutland, the Earl of Cardigan, Sir Frederick Trench, Mr. Wilson Croker, Mr. Simpson, Sze. Iler Majesty the Queen Dowager, with her Royal Highness the Princess of Prussia, the Countess of West moreland, and Lady Fitzroy Somerset, formed a group at the extreme western end of the balcony. Lord Charles Wellesley was in attendance on her Majesty. Both the Queen and her illustrious relative manifested the greatest interest in the scene, and after the statue had been brought opposite the arch, her Majesty re quested Mr. Hardwick to inquire of Mr. Wyatt whether there was a probability of its being elevated during the afternoon, as in that event she should wish to remain and observe the ceremony. It being considered unadvisable to commence the pro cess of elevation yesterday, Mr, Hardwick communicated HARWICH STEAM PACKET COMPANY.

The Harwich Steam Packet Company is formed for the purpose of establishing steam communication with the ports of Northern Germany, Holland, and Belgium, by which a considerable saving of time and expense will. be effected in voyages, to and from those ports. . . _ It is intended to provide powerful steam boats, built on the most improved principles in respect of construction and engines, replete with every possible convenience and comfort, and adapted to the ample accommodation of passengers ; and that they shall also carry a limited quantity of suitable cargo. The expected traffic by the steamers has been ascertained from the most correct data procurable, and the Tables of Traffic framed with the greatest care ; and from the calculations made, the receipts of the Steam Packet Company, after making ample deduction for ex penses, will produce at least 7 per cent. upon the capital. In addi tion to this, the calculations show that the Eastern Counties and Eastern Union Railway Companies will be largely benefited by an important inerease of revenee to their respective railways. Arrangements have been made with the Eastern Counties and Eastern Union Railway Companies, by which the Proprietors of the Steam Packet Company will receive a Dividend of not less than 5 per cent. per annu•n on their subscriptions; and therefore the Shares will be distributed among the Proprietors of those two Railway Companies and of the Northern and Eastern, and Ipswich and Bury St. Edmund's Railway Companies, in the proportion of 24,000 Shares to the Eastern Counties and Northern and Eastern Railway Compa nies, and 6,000 Shares to the Eastern Union and Ipswich and Bury St. Edmund's Railway Companies. _ _ The registered Proprietors of the said several Railway Companies, desirous of participating in the benefits of this undertaking, are re quested to signify their intention to take the shares allotted to them by paying the deposit thereon to either of the Company's bankers. The proportion of the Harwich Steam Packet Company's Shares for the holders of the new 14/. 16s. Shares in the Eastern Counties Rail way Company, and for the holders of Scrip Shares in the Northern and Eastern Railway Company, will be set apart for them, and each holder, on transmitting his Scrip to the office of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, and requesting an allotment of shares, will re ceive a letter of allotment accordingly. The shares not applied for on or before the 10th day of October next by such Scripholders, will be allotted by the Directors to such other persons as shall appear to be most eligible.

The Directors lave already announced to the Shareholders that arrangements were pending with the London and Birmingham Railway Company (now the London and North-Western), having for their object the transfer of the line to that Company, and the return to the Shareholders in this undertaking of the whole of their deposits. The Directors recommend the proposed arrangements to the Share holders, as being much to their advantage, and most calculated to ensure the speedy completion of the line, and to afford the best guarantee of its being efficiently worked for the public convenience. Those of the Shareholders who are desirous of receiving back, in conformity with these arrangements, the full deposit of 21. 2s. on each share, are requested to transmit their scrip to Mr. Henry Cassin, the Accountant to the Company, at the Company's offices, at No. 3, Church-court, Old Jewry, London, at any time between the hours of Ten and Three, from Monday, the 21st instant, to Monday, the itk of October. On the scrip, or bankers' receipts, or secretary's receipts for scrip, being delivered up the holders thereof will receive back the full de posit of 21. 2s. upon each share. Those parties who (as holders of shares in the original Coventry and Leicester and Coventry, Nun eaten, Birmingham, and Leicester Companies) have only paid a de posit thereon of 11. is., may in like manner receive back 11. ss. on each such share.

MISTAKEN HTIMANITy..--At the Marlborough street Police -court yesterday, Mr. Asser, a florist, in the Burlington Arcade, was charged with having assaulted Mr. Martin, a whipmaker, in the Arcade.

Mr. Martin said his brother had been very saucy and refused to obey his orders, and he had not corrected him more severely than he deserved. The boy himself having re pented, appeared to be of the same opinion, which was confirmed by other neighbours, and Mr. Asser was fined 40s. lie said he should take care how he again inter fered in the cause of humanity.

The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts, the advantages resulting from the invention are various and striking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the com bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light hitherto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns steadily for any period ; and such is its purity, that it neither affects or soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have made to the introduction of gas In dwellin:-houses, to the expense of fittings, to its destruction of flirniture, draperies, gold moulding, &c. ; these are entirely obviated by the "'PATENT UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER." As the cost of laying on gas is much lower than is com monly supposed, it is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for club-houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of waste or trouble. The merits of the " Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing every other known light, are shown by the annexed authentic opinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, SirJourt RENNIE, President, in the Chair. " A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited. The principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner. The air passing up through the hollow stem of the button, was heated, and passed out by two series of fire-holes around the periphery, and impinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion, The flame was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady, as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution, where these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, and trying the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a better light, with a saving of rather more than one-third." CERTIFICATE. POLYTECHNIC CHEMICAL SCHOOL.-" In testing Clark, Mc Niell, and Co,'s Universe :Gas Burner with one of the best shawdowless turners, it gave a more pure and brilliant light, with a saving of 20 to 25 per cent." GEORGE CRISP, Engineer, ROUT. LONGBOTTOM, Secretary, CERTIFICATE. " In a series of experiments made upon Clark, Me Niell, and Co.'s Patent Universal Gas Burner, its superiority was satisfactorily este bll4led In economy and the quality of the light. Tested against argand burners, Nos. 4 (12 holes), and 6 (15 holes), it afforded a saving of at least 25 per cent., and against three fish-tail burners, Nn. 4,4 S per cent. The colour and brilliancy of the flame is supe rior to any ether burner." _ T. W. YEATES, Consulting Chemist, J. D. PALMER, Mechanical Inspector. The UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER is used nightly at the Poly technic Institution, and may be bad and seen from 11 till 4, at the Patentees, 60, St. Martin's-lane, Charing-cross ; and of all Gas Fitters. GENERAL Debility, Pains in the Stomach, an d Loss of Appetite cured by MORISON'S PILLS, the Vege table Univei sal Medicine of the British College of Health, New road, London.—Mrs. Mary Anne Gardener, aged forty-one, residing near the Red Cow Turnpike-gate, St. David's, Exeter, cured of the above complaints, with which she had been afflicted for many years. The particulars of this case are well known to Mr. Havill, of 91, Fore-street-hill, Exeter ; and also to Mr. Tothill, surgeon, lleavitree, near Exeter.--N.B. The public is hereby informed that no chemist or druggist is allowed to sell Morison's Pills ; they are only to be had of the llygeian Agents. In places where there is not an agent, the Pills can be forwarded by post, on sending a post-office order to the Britsh College of Health, payable to Messrs. Morison. The British College of Health has now upwards of half a million cases of care, which amply prove the truth of the Hygeian, or Morisonian system. THE WELLINGTON STATUE.—ENTERTAINMENT OF THE MESSRS. GODING TO THEIR MEN.—Lost night, after the return of the men in the employment of the Messrs. Goding (whose horses seemed not, on their arri val at the stables, to have suffered the slightest fatigue after their day's exertions), they were most bounteously entertained with a supper of roast beef, geese, &c., at the Watermen's Arms, or Goding's tap, Pedlar's-acre, with several other men of the establishment, altogether amounting to 38, the entertainment being provided by the Messrs. Goding. Mr. Dale, one of the clerks, pre sided, an d the usual loyal toasts were given with due honour, including that of the illustrious hero on whose behalf they had been engaged. This evening the re mainder of the men, amounting to 40, will be similarly regaled. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—On Tuesday night the passenger train from Exeter en route to Lon don, which should have reached Slough at ten minutes before ten o'clock, did not arrive "until twenty minutes to twelve o'clock, owing to the engine tender being sup plied with coke of an inferior description ; so miserably deficient was the locomotive power, that for some time previous to the arrival at the Slough station, the velocity of the train did not exceed more than six miles an hour. Fresh coke was taken in at Slough, and with the view of pulling up lost time, the engine, under full pressure of steam, proceeded with such awful rapidity as to cause an unpleasant oscillation, and create considerable alarm among the passengers. It was ten minutes past twelve o'clock before the train reached London. NEW MARKET IN LAMBETH.—In the course of a few days a market on a most extensive scale will be opened in tho Westminster-road, at the end of the New cut, for the sale of merchandise and provisions of every description.
