A COTTAGE VILLA, QUITE UNIQUE, on a MODERATE SCALE, ENVIRONED by its DELIGHTFUL GROUNDS, DIS POi,ED in UNUSUALLY GOOD TASTE, and the VILLA so CHASTE as to be WELL WORTHY of IMITATION. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is deputed by the respectable proprietor to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETI TION, at the Auction Mart, en THURSDAY, the 30th of July, at Twelve o'clock, a SINGULARLY ELEGANT MODERN VILLA, upon a scale not too large. IT IS A BIJOU OF THE FIRST WATER, and will not be appreciated save only by a personal review of it, when it will be confessed it stands alone for the infinity of charms which surround it. Thistle-grove is at Old Brompton, with ready access to Kensington-gardens and Hyde-park, and the de - lightini abode is placed in a little sequestered spot, just removed from the noise and bustle of the public road. It partakes of the quietude and repose so essential to good taste and a country life, with a prox imity to the metropolis of little more than a short mile. The Villa displays a proud distinction over all its neighbouring rivals. It is a solid piece of architecture, based on the Corinthian order, adorned by a conservatory in capital taste, with painted glass. And within THIS LITTLE ELYSIUM comfort is conspicuous in every department, and finished with a degree of taste that will amply repay a ride from the metropolis. The tact that prevails is of a peculiar cast; it disdains the prevailing order, and takes the lead without any fear from a contemporary ; indeed, ingenuity may be taxed, for it would be puzzled, to discover a single want, and Mr. Robins invokes all those who would POSSESS AN INCOMPARABLE GEM to seek ocular demonstration, and thus confirm this moderate report. It stands within an acre (or perhaps less) of ground, laid out in such good taste, that Repton would have gladly hailed it as his own off spring, and the ingenuity of separating the kitchen garden from the extended and beautiful lama is a master-piece of of ingenuity. At the extreme end is A BEAUTIFUL HOT-HOUSE, heated by warm water, and finished in a superior manner. Thei eis close by, but entirely unseen, a two-stall stable, two coach houses, and harness-room, a loose box, with coachman's rooms, and hay depository above. In respect to the Villa, without fatiguing the reader with a lengthened detail, it may suffice to state there are four superior Company (they might be called State) Rooms ; the de coration throughout is worthy of Mr. Fairs; indeed it cannot be exceled. The doors of the Drawing-room are distinguished by plate glass and the windows with stained glass. These apartments are so perfect that really Elysium is brought to recollection. There are live bed-chambers and dressing-rooms, with a comodlte, • well placed ; A CAPITAL BATH-ROOM, well constructed ; and there are two bed-rooms for the females, and, over the coach-houses two for the males. On the basement Is a su perior kitchen, with larder butler's pantry, and every essential appendage to comfort and be it known, every place is not only in the best keeping, but also in the best possible order. There can be no need to unloose the purse-strings, for Ingenuity cannot find occa sion for the slightest outlay. The entree is well managed; from ground not otherwise required. Indeed, atter taking much pains to discover room for improvement, Mr. Robins had the satisfaction to find his ingenuity could not accomplish it. THE WHOLE IS FREEHOLD, so that a purchaser has the pleasing knowledge that his comforts may descend to his latest posterity, without the alloy of fresh and expensive renewals. The taste and style of the villa and Its appendages throughout will incline a purchaser to avail himself of the power to take it all as it stands, at a valuation, but this is quite optional. The fixtures and planned furniture alone is imperative. It can of course only be seen with ticket, and during the hours from twelve to four. Particulars had at the Auction Mart, and at Mr. George Robins's offices, Covent-garden. , - MANCHESTER, HUDDERSFIELD, AND GREAT GRIMSBY DIRECT RAILWAY. (Registered Provlsidially.)

TWO HUNDRED AND FIVE POUNDS A YEAR CLEAR FOR SIXTEEN YEARS. A PROSPECTIVE INCREASE" OF ONE HUNDRED POUNDS A-YEAR MORE FOR TWENTY-FOUR YEARS AFTER. THE TENANT UN EXCEPTIONABLE. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, on THURSDAY, July 23, at Twelve, A FIRST-RATE RESIDENCE AND EXTENSIVE PREMISES, approximating upon the famed Bazaar. It is No. 54, BAKER-STREET, a corner house, recently placed in the most perfect order, not alone for the convenience and gratification of a first-rate family for occu pation, but it possesses A SPLENDID MAGAZIN OF CONSIDERABLE SPACE, an erection in uncommonly good taste, and presenting a humble copy of SEWELL AND CROSS'S SPLENDID ACHIEVEMENT, although confessedly not quite so large, but for perfect convenience to carry out an immensely profitable concern, it will yield to very few in London. It may be well to observe that the tenant, Mr. Moule, claims the very great advantage of respectability nrxed up with an equal proportion of responsibility. As a safe tenant the. Bank dividends do not offer greater security; he has (to render his. place perfect) ENCOUNTERED AN OUTLAY OF THREE THOUSAND POUNDS, _ . which ke has expended with great caution and equal judgment; in deed, he seems to have rendered it complete throughout. THE SPLENDID ABODE in days of yore was a residence fora nobleman or merchant of high standing, and the present possessor, partaking of similar feelings, has restored it to a tit state for the most fastidious to enjoy, observing Mr. Motile, who (fortunately for himself) has still a sixteen years' lease wod unexeired. is not to be tempted even to give hope that money incline fleo: l a:darit.ja dthd ie h : t o m ent:a t r o ma q nth u na i u t tai l ol t nii H e would (it is believed) rather look he sees but too clearly that hi his term, and then to renew, outlay has added, at the en of . 1501. a-year. The rent before although t h . f o u h g i l s t he possessed it was near 4001. val ue e e now st leased to him for only 200/.,independently of the coach Y ho a u r ;e i a t a% Dorset Mews (worth 351. a year). This r esi m enxiFeroads Cra wford-street. Dorset sixteen years, bet the estate under consideration has still an unexpired TERM OF FORTY YEARS, subject only to the orginal ground rent of 251.; a purchaser will therefore have to be content with A BANK-NOTE TENANT, and rental of two hundred guineas for the first sixteen years, and then with just confidence look to an increased income of at least one hundred a year. The residence is really worthy of a nobleman's occupation. Its appearance within and without justifies the assertion ; it • contains five upper chambers, four best bed-rooms. The drawing- - room floor has four elegant rooms. The entrance hall is capital. This story is used for the bazaar, and there are lots of useful t appendages, and accommodation for twenty clerks, who superinten..l l this profitable ready money vocation. On the basement is a large kitelen, a dining-room for the establishment up stairs, and a sleepil ig room. There is also a larder, a pantry, good cellars, &c., &c. ' Co conclude, Mr. R. flatters himself enough is before the moneyed world to incline them to compete for this thoroughly well-secured este. te. It is not an everyday affair to possess a present clear income of 100 guineas, with a certain addition of 1001. a year, when the pres oat lease expires. It can only be seen fourteen days before the aucti from three to four o'clock, and with a written order, by the k had permissien of the worthy tenant.

ER. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to SELL by PUBLIC AUCTION at the Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the Gth of An 4ust, at Twelve, in One Lot, by direction of the devisees in trust of William Head, deceased. AN EXCEEDINGLY FAVOURABLE FREEHOLD INVESTMENT ; Indeed, as it respects both the land and the tenant, it recalls to Mr. Robins' recollection THE RECENT WARWICKSHIRE SALE and its result, since few farms can compete with the one now under consideration. It consists of a superior residence, altogether adapted to A SPORTING GENTLEMAN'S OCCUPATION, (and in a sporting country be it remembered), with Garden, offices well arranged, and surrounded by PARKLIKE GROUNDS, PLAN TATIONS, LAWN, and SHRUBBERIES; also A SUPERIOR FREEHOLD FARM, EXTENDING TO 310 ACRES, of a first•rate soil. It is, without any mistake, a really good Turnip Farm, with the greater proportion adapted to fatten cattle, indeed the Estate may be denominated altogether one of the best farms to be found th , oughout this desirable County ; it is TITHE FREE, AND LAND-TAX REDEEMED, except a very small portion. The Buildings are all suitable, and the Estate is WITHIN A RING FENCE, one short mile from THE CAPITAL MARKET OF DAVENTRY, and not three hours removed from London. Mr. Goodman is a bank note tenant, and will be but too happy to secure a Lease. The pre sent very low Rent is SEVEN HUNDRED POUNDS A-YEAR, and Mr. Robins, it 13 known, has proclaimed a fact that was corro borated recently at the Sale alluded to, that the agricultural world have been MORE FRIGHTENED THAN HURT; and it is no longer doubtful that land must, and will progress, with the recent wise proceedings ; thus the staple commodity of the land will become, by far, TILE SAFEST INVESTMENT IN THE MARKET. The Buildings are all of the first class. In short, it would puzzle a clever man to discover a single fault. • Particulars had at the best Inns at Daventry ; tke George, North ampton ; the Talbot, Toweester ; Spread Eagle, Rugby ; Mr. Hod son, Solicitor, No. 19, King's-road, Bedford-row ; the Auction Mart; and at Mr. George Robins's Ofnees, London. HANOVER LODGE, IN THE REGENT'S PARK. In .. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed by THE NOBLE POPRIETOII TO SELL, by. AUCTION, at the Mart, London, on TUESDAY, the I Sth of August, at 7,..-elve o'clock. The Splendid MANSION, which has been a distinguishing feature of the Regent's Park. It is known as HANOVER LODGE and it may be affirmed, without fearing that any one can gainsay it, throughout this splendid Park there is nothing that can altogether surpass It. In a limited sphere it really appears a miracle how so much has been achieved. IT IS THE RUS IN URBE for it possesses everything that those who would rusticate in the country, or join in THE SPLENDID SOIREES OF THE GAY METROPOLIS OF LONDON can desire. 111 a little demesne, extending to FOUR ACRES ONLY, will be found lots of hill and dale, and wood and water, grounds un ►ulut ing everywhere ; the rich plantations extending to E REGENT'S CANAL and ORNAMENTAL BRIDGE and ; and it must not be forgotten that THIS PETITE ELYSEUM, is w Thin half an hour's drive of the Palace, the Theatres, and both the Houses of Legislature. In fact the ensemble may safely challenge a comparison anywhere and everywhere. The accommodation within this delightful retreat is precisely such as a fe mily of pretensions would desire ; observing there may be found within an opportunity for an ingenious lady, and one of taste, t • cause a little outlay in ornamental decoration which may benefit i 'he Interior. The principal rooms are decorated throughout with ac' atowledged taste. For a grand soiree they are without a rival, t be banquetting room is of capital proportions, and the bed-chat über department quite complete. THE ORANGERY AND CONSERVATORY adorn '.me side of the Mansion, and with the greenhouse en the verdant lawn, and the American plants, and the flowering shrubs, a aces se is exhibited of surpassing beauty and effect. THE OFFICES ARE ALL CAPITAL and entirely shut out of view. A five•stall stable, two coach-houses, harness-room, with buildings adapted for a dairy, and many other such luxuries. THE ESTATE IS HELD OF THE CROWN, and demised under most favourable circumstances for those whose fancy may incline them to indulge a little more in embellishment and alteration; the term to he sold exceeds forty-four years—the :ground-rent a bagatelle of 341. a year. It can only be seen by tickets from eleven till FIX, and particulars 'had William Robinson, Esq., solicitor, Lancaster; of Messrs.

GOTHIC ORDER OF ARCHITECTURE is of ancient origin, having been occupied during an early period of history by several Catholic families of eminence. THE VENERABLE TURRETTED CHAPEL AND DOVECOTE, with a portion of the building, bearing evidence of great antiquity, but its interest is increased by its having been the abode of the cele brated Sir J. Throcktnorton, THE PROJECTOR OF THE GUNPOWDER PLOT, who held many private meetings in one of the chambers, which is still preserved. The estate passed through several hands, and, during the war of the Commonwealth, sustained its heaviest de vastatson. WORKS by ROBERT J. CULVERWELL, M.D. M.R.C.S. &c.

" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understani ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all , by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the lit a advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation 9f our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

SIR PAUL BAGOT, conceived the restoration and exte n s ion of the M a nsion in t h e O ld e n style of architecture, and, with THE ASSISTANCE AND EXPERIENCE OF SIR JEFFERY WYATTYILLE, reared a most beautiful structure ; but it was left to the present pro prietor to alter, improve, and bring to perfection, for its size, the most elegant and complete chateau that can be found amongst England's boasted beauties. Of the exterior it is impossible to speak too much in praise ; its ivy-mantled towers and walls, noble Oriel windows, turreted embattlements and cloistered avenue, form a tout ensemble which cannot fail to please the mind's eye of the most fastidious in classical architecture ; whilst in the interior the effect, is one of surpassing elegance and variety, combining taste with comfort, and nobility with simplicity ; from each window the most lovely and diversifying scene is presented, and from those of THE NOBLE CORRIDOR THE MONK'S GARDEN is seen in all the quietude and repose necessary for contemplation. The family arrangements leave nothing to be desired; the bed chambers are ample and most delightful, and the reception rooms of singular elegance ; whilst the noble dining-hall cannot fail to be admired. THE GROUNDS WHICH ENCOMPASS THE MANSION are delightfully disposed, ornamented with noble trees of every description graceffilly feathering to the ground, particularly many time-honoured oaks, and a row of remarkable sycamores, which add their importance to the scene, and from THE BASTIONS OF THE BATTLEMENTED TERRACE the most lovely and extended view. unsurpassable for richness of foliage andverdant pasture, is presented, whilst at all times a health ful and dry promenade is afforded. The Garden is well laid out, and a walk, clothed with the choicest evergreens leading to some extent, lends its aid to vary the attractions. The Offices may be pronounced perfect, and the Court-yard, enclos ing the Carriage Houses and Stabling for eleven horses, is most ex cellent, the Farm Yard close at hand. THE DOMAINEXTENDS TO 231 ACRES the whole being admirable pasture, and woods watered with numerous springs and ponds of delicious water, and capable of feeding to almost any extent, and consequently rendering the estate not only one of importance but of profit ; a stone wall, judicicionsly screened from view, encompasses the property, and it may fearlessly be added, an objection does not exist which can militate against the true enjoyment of it ; if the purchaser be inclined to politics, A SEA FOR THE BOROUGH OF STROUD may fairly be calculated upon. Pews in the parish churches of Stroud and Risley appertain to the property, and the outgoings are un usually moderate. Also, the extensive and VALUABLE MANORIAL RIGHTS connected with the estate.

COFFEE AND EATING-HOUSE KEEPERS' ASSOCIATION. The half-yearly meeting of the subscribers to this excellent institution was held on Monday evening, at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet street. Mr. BI NMORE was called to the chair, and said that he should occupy the time of the meeting but a very few minutes. They were called together that evening for a most important object. They had been convened by circular, as well as by adver tisement, to transact their usual half-yearly business, and also to elect officers for the ensuing year. From this state ment he had no doubt they would consider he was justified in his conclusion, that their business was most important— (Hear)—for could there be anything of greater imports ance than the selection of gentlemen who would give up their time to carry into practical operation the views for which this society was instituted. Such were the gentlemen whom they should entrust with the management of their affairs, for it was by these means alone that they would be enabled to raise sufficiency of funds to meet the demands that had been and were still imposed upon them.—(Hear, hear.) The next business) was to bear the committee render an ac count of their doings since the period when they had been elected, and with which he could safely assert, on the part of himself and his fellow -committeemen they would feel, amply repaid. They would also hear the report of the auditors. After that the election of the officers would take place. There was a very important moticn to be brought under their consideration by their tried friend Mr. Rogers.— (Hear, hear.) In giving notice of this motion, the terms of the Act of Parliament relating to these societies had been complied with, the same having been read at two previous meetings. It now, therefore, rested with them to deal with it as they might think best.—(Gbeers.) He trusted that upon this and every other subject that might come before them that evening every gentleman who might address them would be listened to with patience and atten- tion. There was no other notice, but before concluding he would mention that the sub-committee would be glad to ad vise with their friends with regard to the proposed excursion to Brighton.-- s (Hear, hear.) The Sacamany \then read the circular calling the meet ing, arid the 'plinuft of the latilueeting, which were con firmed. The SECRETARY then read the reports from which it ap peared that the funded property of the society was not increasing, as in former years, which, however, could be ac counted for in a satisfactory manner; and that the annual subscriptions, upon which they mainly depended, amounted to the same as last year, but a large increase was expected in this source of revenue next year. It also appeared tbat the committee had resolved to divide themselves into sub committees, and with the assistance of the secretary, to try all their efforts to increase the number of annual subscribers, which had been resorted to once in two or three years with considerable success. The report further stated that the excursion to Herne Bay, in July last, had afforded much gratification to their friends, and left a surplus profit of 181., together with a donation from the stewards of 51. ss. The ball at the Crown and Anchor Tavern had realised 11/. 14s. 6d., and the dinner at the Free masons' Tavern 601. The decrease in the particular of dona tions was to be attributed to not having received donations from newspaper proprietors, who would be waited on in the ensuing year. 1001. had been added to the funds during the past year, while the interest on the money invested amounted to 601., making a sum total standing in the name of the trustees of 1,7491., and leaving a balance in the treasurer's hands of 12/. 2s. 2d., together with several donations. The report also stated that the committee wished to call the at tention of the meeting to the circumstance of their being without a patron since 'the death of the Marquis of Westminster, but that General Sir De Lacy Evans, after being applied to, had sent a letter to say that he would use all his influence to induce some noblemen to become patrons of the society, and thus retrieve the loss they had sustained. —( Hear, hear.) The committee had referred the difference which had taken place at the last meeting to Mr. Tidd Pratt, the barrister appointed to certify the rules of friendly so cieties, who confirmed the vote of the former meeting, and stated that any person subscribing annually was entitled to vote and speak at their meetings. It was then moved and seconded that the report be adopted, which being put from the chair, was carried. The CraiiimAis said it now devolved upon them to pro ceed with the election of a president for the ensuing year. Mr. HARE said he felt great pleasure in performing a duty which he was now called upon to discharge, to nominate as an eligibk person for the high office of president of their society a gentleman with whom they had been associated, whom he had ever found most diligent iu performing the most arduous tasks, and one who by his zeal and unassuming manner had acquired the esteem and gratitude of their association—he meant Mr. Conneybeer.—(Cheers.) It was unnecessary to add more than that if they elected the gentleman he had just named, he would exert himself to the best of his ability to tread worthily in the footsteps of his predecessors. Mr. Cmsurrr seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. CowNEynzEn briefly but appropriately returned thanks, and stated that he would do all in his power to ad vance the best interests of the society.—( Hear, hear. ) The thanks of the meeting were then vote d unanimously to Mr._ Binmore, the president for the past year, for the zealous and efficient manner in which he had discharged his duties for the last two years. The CHAIRMAN said, he was not prepared for that mark of their esteem ; but for the flattering manner in which his friend had introduced his name, and for the equally. flatter ing and spontaneous mode in which it had been received, he felt deeply indebted to both.—(Hear, hear.) . In returning them his sincere thanks for that grateful tribute, he begged to assure them that he felt more than ten times remunerated for any labours he might have undergone in the discharge of those duties which they had done him the honour to confide to his custody, and that he would ever look back to that moment with unalloyed gratification and pride.—(Cheers.) He must now call upon them to elect their vice-president. Several persons present were nominated and seconded, but declined accepting the office for that year, promising, how ever, that in their case, should their services be required in an official capacity, that they would act if called upon at the next election. Mr. Chiclett was among those who refused, but was ulti mately induced to accept the office. Mr. IlustrinEvs, the treasurer, was then re-elected, and briefly returned thanks. The committee were then elected, and the five auditors of the past year, with the exception of Mr. Ricci, whose place was supplied by Mr. Jones, were re-elected. The CHAIRMAN said, he had now to call their attention to the last business of the evening, namely, the motion to which he had alluded in the few opening observations he felt called upon to address to them that evening.—(Hear.) That mo tion was in these words.—(The Chairman read the motion, which was to the effect that the pensions of the society be raised, for the males from ss. a week to Bs. a week, and for the females from ss. to 6s. a week. )—This would certainly affect the finances of the society, and was consequently a matter of very grave consideration. But, whatever determi nation they might come to with respect to this matter, he was sure it would in the discussion receive full justice at their hands.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. ROGIRS said, they had heard from their chairman that the question was most important.—(Hear.) That was un questionably the case, inasmuch as it concerned them all in dividually ; for there was not one amongst them who could fore see what might occur to himself or his family ; and he trusted, therefore, whatever might transpire upon that oc casion would not be regarded in a personal point of view. He would now state the grounds which had induced him to propose this increase in the pensions; but it would be necessary first to mention the reason why he proposed an excess for one sex. The cause of his making this difference was, that, as they were all aware, men, when advanced in life, would require some little assistance in culinary matters; for all of them were not domestic men, and even some of them might have been brought up at sea. Besides, 131. a year would barely do more than keep a man from the workhouse. He therefore believed that if they gave him 201. a year they would enable him to procure some few of the comforts of life, besides showing to their subscribers their desire to do all they could with the funds at their disposal.—(Hear.) With respect to the females, though ls. increase might be considered very small, yet, considering that their requirements were not so great, and that they stood less in need of assistance than the other sex, from their domestic character, he thought even that sum would be of advantage to them, a fact which in deed must be familiar to every one in society.—(Hear.) Looking at the effects of this increase, independently of the advantages that would result to the recipients of their bounty, would it not tend to procure for them that patronage, the want of which they so much deplored ? How could they ask for patronage from a nobleman for an institution which had been nine years in existence, and out of which only two persons had been relieved ? Fie believed, therefore, that the more liberality they a'. - played, the more would their society increase prosperity.—(Year, hear.) Now, they were all anxious for the increase of their funds, and what better means, if they re garded the subject in a broad and comprehensive light, could be devised than making those funds flow in their legitimate channel, and disperse them among those for whose benefit they were originally designed. It would have the effect of bringing new members to their society, their funds would necessarily increase, and the further they carried their object still greater would be their increase. He hoped and trusted, therefore, that they would act with liberality and kindness that night, for they were all born but not buried, and they could not foresee what calamities might yet befal themselves or their families. The resolution was seconded. Mr. HALE said, he considered that the course recommended by the last speaker would be most injudicious, and so far from having the effect predicted would have quite a diffe rent tendency, and concluded by proposing that the question be adjourned sine die. This amendment was seconded by Mr. FLENCH, who ex pressed his opinion that the small number of subscribers for the past years demonstrated the impolicy of the increase contended for. After a few words from Mr. Rooana in reply, the amend ment was put from the chair, and carried unanimously. The meeting then separated. The lovers of flowers will hate an unusual treat at the Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens this day, when the Royal South London Floricultural Society hold their (last but one) Miscellaneous Flower Show. The prizes are on an unusually liberal s c ale, and, combined with the attractions of the gardens, must ensure a crowded attendance. BENEVOLENCE.-Mr. Alderman Copeland, the trea surer to the King College Hospital, has just received, in aid of the funds for the erection of a more healthy and extensive College Hospital, on a more suitable spot, the singular but handsome donation of three hundred and twenty-one pounds and tenpence, from an anonymous subscriber. The only sig; nature appended to the note by the benevolent donor, was " Anonymous, per E. and F., in aid of the funds for the erec tion of an hospital on a more extensive and suitable, scale." Tom Oliver, the celebrated pugilist, and "master of the ceremonies" at pugilistic contests, is now in " durance vile" in Oxford gaol for following his professional avocation in the late pugilistic issue between Gill and Norley. His so journ will last three weeks. THE ROBBERY AT GENERAL GROSVENOWS.—At Marlborough-street Police-court on Monday, John Jones, the late valet of General Grosvenor, was committed for trial, charged with having stolen 951. in bank-notes and a quan ' tity of jewellery, the property of his master; a woman named Ann Stokes was also committed for havinx partici pated in the robbery. No new facts were elicited at this examination. Jones repeated his former statement, that he took the property for the purpose of display, and intended to return it, but he got drunk and was taken to the poi ice station. The SECRETARY read the advertisement convening the meeting. Three scrutineers were then appointed to examine the votes—George Mackintosh, Esq., Alex. Cowan, Esq., and M. Pallavicini. The CHAIRMAN moved that this company be now dis solved. Joax STEWART, Eip, of Belladrum, seconded the motion, which was put to the vote, and passed by a show of hands from the majority of those present. The CMAIRMAN then stated that the dissolution would be effected in the usual mode; that the affairs were left in the hands of the committee, who would wind them up, and take care to have the accounts audited, and reduced to the lowest possible amount. He stated further, in answer to a question from one of the shareholders, that 48 , 000 shares had been issued, 46,089 of which were paid upon, leaving a ba lance of 1,911 on which nothing had been paid; that the receipts of the company were 115,539/.; that the accounts given in and partly taxed, which he believed included the whole liabilities of the company, amounted to 38,8991., which left a balance in the bands of the company of 76,6391., or about 335. 4%d. per share. He said that 30s. a share would be immediately returned, and the balance as soon as the affairs could be wound up. The scrutineers now proceeded to examine the votes, and returned the following result to the chairman—that 24,430 votes had been given in favour of a dissolution, and none against it, which was announced by the chairman accord ingly, Xvote of thanks to the chairman was passed by the meet ing, which was then adjourned. MADRAS, NELLORE, and ARCOT RAILWAY COMPANY. The half-yearly meeting of this Company was heldjyester day at the Offices, Gresham Rooms, at two o'clock. Lord CHARLES BEAUCLERK having taken the chair, stated, after comparing the expenses of other schemes with those of this Company, he had the greatest satis faction in laying before the shareholders a statement of the accounts. These were so small, that he hesitated not to say that he expected they would do their directors justice by a vote of confidence. lie said this pro- ject had been brought out during a temporary panic in the money market, and yet the shares were taken up and almost all ail pthaeidouutsPotann. outstanding ge claims commi t againstt.hayin tghe called in n Company, and nettled 34' wore in condition to go and register the Company in April,attthlel 1846. In January the chairman of the Company had an in terview with the chairman of the East India Company, the issue of which was highly satisfactory. The SECRILTARY then read the Committee's report, which stated that they had placed a sufficient sum in the hands of Messrs. Arbuthnot and Co., for carrying out the Parlia mentary arrangements in India; that efforts were being made to organise an efficient local Committee in India, and that the line was so laid out as to connect Madras with Calcutta and Bombay. A PROPRIETOR having asked whether any surveys had been made? Mr. PRAYER, the solicitor to the Company, said the East India Company were themselves at present making surveys of the different presidencies, and would not come to any con-. elusion on any proposed line, till all the surveys had been made, and then, they might not adopt any route as laid down by the Company ; however, the deed of this Company allowed them to deviate, and he hoped that they would hear something definite about it in the course of two or three months. Several proprietors acquainted with India, expressed sanguine hopes as to the proposed line. Mr. lIKALEs moved the adoption of the report, which was seconded by Mr. BAKER, and carried unanimously by the meeting. A vote of confidence in the directors, and of thanks to the chairman, was moved by Mr. HEALIS, and unanimously pazsed. The meeting then adjourned. TRENT VALLEY CONTINUATION AND HOLYHEAD JUNCTION RAILWAY.— A special meeting of the shareholders and proprietors of this line took place yesterday, at the Coffee-house, Basing hall-street, in order to determine upon the propriety of dis solving the Company. There was an exceedingly numerous attendance of the proprietors. Shortly after the hour specified Captain Hotham took the chair. The SECRETARY then read all the advertisements in the papers convening the meeting, in order that the mode of con ducting the meeting might be strictly according to law. The CitaramAlf observed that the proprietors were aware that they had been convened that day in order to determine whether they :should dissolve and wind up the affairs of the company or not; and if they did agree to a dissolution, whether that act should take place as an act of bankruptcy on the part of the proprietors, or through the agency of the director. He had to inform them that there was very little difference in the accounts since the last meeting of the proprietors, for very little extra expense had been gone to, in fact none at all.— (Hear.) A SHAREHOLDER wished to be informed, if they came to a resolution to dissolve, how much would be returned per share. The CHAIRMAN said be could not definitely state, but from the calculation which had been made, he considered that it would be about two guineas. Mr. JAMES RICHARDSON then moved a resolution to the efiect that it was the opinion of the meeting that the com pany should be dissolved. Mr. SMELL seconded the resolution. Mr. DE TINNE, who appeared on behalf of the Manchester shareholders, and represented 1,695 shares, said he protested against a course which had been rendered necessary by a deed having been concocted in fraud by some of the directors. Mr. SOLOMON said he did not see the reason why they should dissolve the company. The undertaking offered as many advantages as it did the first day the prospectus wasis sued ; he would therefore move that the company do proceed. Mr. ASTON seconded the amendment. The amendment, after a desultory conversation, was put, but was only supported by the mover and seconder. The original resolution was then carried. A long and desultory conversation then ensued, and the meeting resolved that it should dissolve not by way of bank ruptcy, but through the agency of the directors. The number of shares paid upon at 21. 65., amounted to 37,274!.; and those at IL 7s. 6d., to 3,7061. DERBY, UTTOXETER, AND STAF FORD RAILWAY COMPANY. A meeting of the shareholders of this company was held yesterday at the George and Vulture Tavera, Lombard-street, for the purposes of determining the dissolution of the com pany, and in the case of the dissolution being agreed to,_ whether such should be considered an act of bankruptcy, with the view of having the affairs of the company wound up under the Joint Stock Companies Act. Mr. Nash, Chairman of the Company, was called to the chair. The Secretary having read the advertisement convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said that the time was arrived for the shareholders to elect scrutineers to take the votes of the shareholders. Mr. Wm. Roworth, of Nottingham, Mr . R. Sheppard, and Mr. Philips were then elected. The Secretary then read the Report of the Committee of Management, which stated that atter the resolution of the meeting in last March to dissolve the company, owing to the existence of the law relating to joint-stock companies, there being only 12,890 shares assentient, which number was insufficient, they were unable to carry out that resolution of the shareholders. However, the defect ender which they laboured in common with a great number of other companies, had been remedied, and it was now placed in their own hands, under the recent Joint Stock Company's Acts, 7 and 8 Viet., c. 111, to dissolve the Company. The Committee of Management begged to remind the shareholders that the undertaking in which they had been engaged had not been proceeded with, owing solely to the errors in the surveys, for which they could not be accountable. They had, however, refused to discharge the demands of the engineers, and had got rid of one exorbitant demand by the payment of 1251. The de mand of Mr. Higgins for 5,0001. was to be tried before a legal tribunal, but the action had not come on. The SECRETARY then read the share account and the cash account, from the former of which it appeared that 14,900 shares had been allotted to the public, to the Provisional Committee 3,450, and reserved for amalgamation and local interests 1,600 ; 13,538 shares had been taken up by the public, 3,390 by the Provisional and tano:ftirg Committee, while there remained in hand 3,07 . 2. the shares. cash account it appeared that the 4 w 5 0 e , d 14 13 4 3 1 : bankers„ &e., si am e r t n 0 te 7 d a5 t0 i. 4 1 4 7 ,42 7 6 d 1.., , aninakdeidt.hge intateor 38,7151. 10s. while the expenses incurred l eft b das a r l a aoo n sifi c ot e of in the hands of the treasurer. The otAriotAx said that the directors had taken some pains in going through these accoants, and their report had been much longer than the committee desired. That, how ever, would have the effect of preventing his occupying their time. The committee had thought it right to tell them they had got 7001. interest on their money, and he thought that 3001. more would cover their expenses. He would now be very happy to hear any gentleman who might desire to address the meeting. Mr. Cowser wished to know why the 1,300 shares which had not been taken up had not been sold instead of being retained in the hands of the Committee. It was stated in reply, that these shares had been kept for the landed proprietors along the line of the railway. A long discussion ensued, which was interrupted by the Secretary, who read the Act of Parliament under whisk they had been convened to show that the meeting could net legally entertain the topics now brought before them. The CHAIRMAN promised that on application to the 4101U mit t ee, permission would be given to inspect the books of the Company, with which Mr. Cowen expressed himself Sa tisfied. After some further desultory conversation, it was resoh red that the Company should be dissolved without bankruptcy, and the Chairman stated that the Committee would rettetn to the shareholders 1/. 12s. 6d. per share, on Thursday nets. The thanks of the meeting were then voted to, and acknowledged by the Chairman, after which the trieeting separated. Mr. C. Green again ascended in his Nassau Balloon on Monday evening from Crenrorne Gardens. Hewitt accom panied by Mrs. Green, by the Hon. Mr. Clifton, and eight other gentlemen. The. balloon ascended very majestically, and passed over Lone,on towards Essex. SUDDEN DEA'r II OF MR. WAKEFIELD, Q.C.—We regret to armor:nee the sudden death of Mr. Daniel Wake field, the well -known Queen's Counsel, who was found dead in his show - or bath at an early hour on Monday morning. Mr. Wakefiel''a was in perfect health on Saturday, and was to have r'Jplied in a cause in the Vice-Chancellor's Court yes terday. LLEGED ILL-TREATMENT.—On Monday afternoon an inquest was held before Mr. Baker, junior, at the Halifax's IFead, Princes-street, Whitechapel, on the body of John Tre maine, aged fourteen, the son of a cabinet-maker, residing in Princes. street. It appeared from the evidence that the do ceased had been shamefully ill-treated by his father s and also by his step-mother, who, on one occasion, was taken before the magistrates at Worship- street Police court, and bound over to keep the peace, on account of her conduct to the boy. On the 22d of April last the deceased absconded from home, and went to reside with his aunt, who keidt him for eight„ weeks. He repeatedly complained of pains in his side, and said his father had often kicked him on, various parts of his body. About four weeks since he again 'returned to his father, and there continued until his death. On last Tuesday week lie complained of illness. and Mr. Dale, a surgeon, was called in, and said the deceased was suffering from dropsy. He con tinned to attend him, but he &Led on the following . il :11Te' _p! l r The jury returned a verdict of ,‘ Natural death," his *L con duct • same time severely reprimanc'xi the father fo r towards the deceased. DUTCH MAIL. THE HAGUE, JULY 15.—The King has arrived here this morning at half-past ten o'clock, returning from Soestsdyk. One of the most useful undertakings executed in our time is certainly the union of the Vessel Zuyder Zee at Ems. M. A, Van Runen, who has purchased 5,000 acres of turfmoor, has applied to the Government for permission to dig a canal through the moor from Koeverden to the Ems, near Meppen. MAISTRECHT, JULY 13.—The day before yesterday a fire broke out in the commune of Kerkraida, which destroyed six houses, and but for the timely assistance that was afforded, would have done considerable injury. If there had been any fire-engines the damage would not have been so great. We cannot speak in sufficiently expressive terms of the conduct of Mr. Nans, who exposed himself to imminent danger in saving the effects of the poor people from the midst of the flames. We do not know whether the sufferers were insured. AMSTERDAM, JULY 16.—We have latterly spoke of extra steam-boats that have arrived at Rotterdam from London. This time the Orwell steamer, dispatched by the Eastern Counties Railway Company, has performed the voyage with extraordinary rapidity. It left London on Tuesday at three o'clock in the afternoon, and arrived at Rotterdam at eight o'clock on Wednesday morning—that is in 17 hours, in cluding the time lost in waiting for a pilot, and the visit of the Custom-house officers. BREDA, JULY 15.—Yesterday Lord and Lady Villiers, the first 'a Member of the British Parliament and the latter daughter of the great and celebrated Sir Robert Peel, arrived here. These distinguished persons proceeded to the seat Burgslc, belonging to Baroa Van Nahuys, whence they will go in a few days to England.—Dutch Papers, July [B. DUTCH FUNDS.—ARsTERDAnt, JULY 17. Money.

We know nothing here of any decided interference of English and French diplomacy having co operated in this result. It is also affirmed that an arrange ment has been 'made by which the investigation of the late events will be prosecuted with all convenient dispatch, and that no more capital punishment will be inflicted. Prince Paskewitsch has taken with him a list of favours relative to the kingdom of Poland, which it is supposed will be pub lished on occasion of the marriage festivities. POSEN, JULY s.—The young Count Pouinski has been set at liberty, on the universal application of our President of the Police to the Governor of Kalisch, who sent for instruc tions to Warsaw. Count Pouinski has been here this week. Ile has"no cause to complain of the manner in which he was treated by the Russian authorities, beyond the circumstance of his being arrested at Kalisch ; he was only placed under the superintendence of the police, and not subjected to any further inconvenience. KONIGSBUSGH, JULY 5.--We have just seen a private letter from a German physician at Tiflis, dated the 31st of May, which says Of cholera we see nothing here; all that is stated in the newspapers about it is gross falsehood. COPIRMAGEIf, JULY lit—The King and Queen of Sweden , have arrived here this morning; an immense concourse of persons collected at the Custom-house, and the city seemed quite deserted. Several steam-boats crowded with company put out to sea to meet them in the roads. The King and the Crown Prince went to meet them. Our Queen and Princess received them on landing, and then proceeded, amidst loud acclamations of the people, to the Palace at Amalsenburg. BERLIN, JULY 16.—The King has been pleased to appoint M. Van Bodelschuiegh to the post of Master of the Interior. HAMBURGH BORSENHALLE, JULY 17. Bills.
