~i //- ra~ v-sr. I V Vtl I v's•-•• RAILWAY BILLS. The Bill introduced by Lord Dalhousie-completes the Go - : vernment measures, which is partially set forth ialthe reso• - ;; ; :e`N lutions of both Houses, and gains additional stringency by! , the subsidiary resolutions of Mr. T. Duncombe. The-:Goz vemment " resolutions," as proposed by Sir 8.. Peel and Lord Dalhousie, merely define the conditions to be observed before either House will proceed with the consideration of a railway project, while the Bill now brought into the House of LOrels enables the shareholders to wind up their affairs, giving them a power hitherto possessed by icorporate bodies alone. To this distinction we called attention the other day, but we refer to it again, as it has been no uncommon mistake in tie City to confound the two parts of the measure, that is, thk resolutions and the Bill, with each other. We may iiisotikli the opportunity of correcting an erroneous impression (pro duced by a verbal error) as to the qualifications required is a scripholder by the " resolutions.' His scrip must have been issued, or the deposit paid uron it, before the end of March, and it is not necessary to comply with both these coil ditione. E ASTERN CDJNTIES RAILWAY. NL WMAIsKET RACES.

Mr. Robins has not yet had the gratification of a personal survey, and therefore will reserve Its deserved encomium until be has inlisted the public attention by a very condensed hint er two, which he has taken the liberty to borrow from DUGDALE'S HISTORY OF FORD ABBEY, and which authority, Mr. Robins imagines, wil be appre ciated beyond his, even when he has encountered the proposed en joyment he has in view ; It will at present suffice to say, THE MANSION EXHIBITS IN ITS OUTWARD FORM A CHASTE DISPLAY OF PURE ARCHITECTURE, EXTENDING TO A 300 t EET FRONTAGE. placed in.

The history of this property is not a little interesting, and Mr. Robins intends to append it to his descriptive particulars; it may be, however, stated, that it is ha every respect adapted to and WORTHY TO BE A ROYAL ABODE ; the offices of eyerydiTsjriitiotare commensurate ; and the gardens, Lawns, and pleasure-grounds are quite beantiful.

However, the effort must be made ; firstly, IT IS DECIDEDLY, FOR ITS SIZE, THE MOST ELIGIBLE, AND CERTAINLY THE MOST COMPACT PROPERTY THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. There can be no scepticism arise out of this assertion. No one can with justice gainsay this high panegyric.

The rates are unusually small, arising out of the fact that they are paid by a compromise with the LONDON AND BIRAINGEIAM RAILWAY COMPANY, whose line passes through Willenhalb The soil is of first-rate quality, as the crops annually demonstrate, and the rick yards verify. Every Farm possesses a superior dwelling, with large garden, and the build ings essential for agricultural purposes are unexceptionable, in fact, everything is in the most perfect apple-pie order.

The third anniversary dinner of the above institution took place on Friday, April 24, at the London Tavern, Bishops gate-street. Sir J. Trollope, Bart., M.P., presided on the occasion. Upwards of 300 gentlemen, members cf the above society, sat down to the dinner, which was served up in the well known and justly celebrated style of Messrs. Bathe and Breach. The wtiole of the arrangements were excellently conducted, and Mr. Toastmaster Toole performed the functions of his office with his usual ability. The Chair, was supported on his right by his Grace the Duke of Richmond; on the left by Sir W. Buckley. Among the numerous names of the subscribers read to the meeting, we noticed those of his Grace the Duke of Richmond, 251. ; the Earl of Chesterfield, 20 guineas; Lord Rosalyn (a second donation), Si. ; Lord Marcus Hill, 2 guineas ; Mr. Sheriff Chaplin, 51. ; Count Bathyany, Si. ; Mr. David Saloman, 5/. ; Sir J. Trollope, Bart. (second donation), 10/. ; T. Gullan, Esq, 20 guineas; J. Sbaw, Esq., 2 guineas. Upon the cloth being removed, the "Non Nobis " was sung in goad style by Messrs, Genge, Benny, and Smith. The usual toasts having been disposed of, The CIiAiuMAN proposed "Prosperity to the Fund, and may it flourish for ever." In proposing this toast, he took occasion to press upon the gentlemen present the necessity of contributing to the funds of the institution, in order to advance its intere s t s . H e stated that the higher ' classes %Ould always be f oun d ready to assist the interests of the society. It the case of the society was laid before them he felt convinced that th e y would be found among its most liberal supporters. Tl3e CHAIRMAN then proposed the toast of" Our Noble Presi dent, *- dent, his Grace the Duke of Ri c h mond. " Upon such la toast, he remarked it was quite unnecessary for him to say a word for the purpose of recommending it to their notice. It was sufficient for him to say that their Noble President was always ready with open hand to sup port charities of any kind.—(Cheers.) There was no limit to his benevolence.—(jenewed cheers.) He hoped that the fast would be - drank. with unbounded applause, and with that affection which the Noble Duke deserved at their hands. The Duke of RICHMOND, in returning thanks, said—l rise, as the president of this society, to return yon my best and most grateful thanks for the very flattering manner in which you have received the toast which has been proposed to you, and from the encomiums which your worthy chairman has heaped upon me I am not surprised at the manner in which the toast has been received. I cannot, however, claim for myself any merit for what I have done to advance the in terests of the society. I feel it to be a duty—a paramount duty—in the situation in which Providence has placed me, to do my utmost (however humble and feeble) which may conduce to the welfare of any class of the people of this country. In such a country as this persons were always ex posed to fluctuations, the season of prosperity could not al ways be depended upon. There was no gentleman present who was not exposed to these fluctuations. All classes in the country were liable to the changes attendant upon the rising or falling of trades and professions, from circumstances over which they had no control. But I will not ask any man, be he a husband or a father, whether he does not, or will not, feel, when h e comes t o be placed in that situation, when he cannot fail to see that he is about shortly to quit this earth, whether it will not be a satisfaction to him to know that those whom he has left behind, and whom he has most esteemed and cherished on earth, will not be driven, when he is taken from them, to seek relief in the union workhouse. Ido not call such a course of action as would ensure these results " charity," it is an insurance which has been made in prosperous days against the time of adversity. and by so doing it will be found that the dying pillow will be softened by the recollection that his widow and his children will be provided for from that fund to which he has sub scribed.—(Loud cheers.) I feel it to be a great blessing in this great, free, and independent country, that there are so ' many institutions similar to the present one.—(Cheers.) I was requested by my esteemed friend, Mr. Tattersal, to accept the presidency of this institution. I acceded to his request, because I knew that he would not belong to any institution except the funds of that institution were well and perfectly carried out according to the plans of the society.—(Hear, hear.) I claim no merit for my connexion with the present institution. I have accepted the office of president solely with a view to do good, not as a sinecure, and to the utmost of my powers, support an institution which I cannot look upon in any other light than a purely national institu tion.—(Loud cheers.) And in my capacity as president I hope often to have the pleasure of meeting you here. Sir R. W. BUCKLEY proposed the next toast, which was " The Hon. P. S. Pierrepont, end the other vice-presidents, patrons, and benefactors to the fund." The Hon. P. S. PIERREPONT returned thanks. B. PEARSE, Esq., then proposed " The Treasurer, Mr. Tattersal," who returned thanks in a highly amusing speech. " The Directors of the Institution," was then proposed by F. SALMON, Esq., for which E. TarrEasaL, Esq., returned thanks. The Hon. Mr. PIERREPONT then gave the health of the new Secretary, whom he said he had known twenty-five years and upwards, and who, on his (air. Pierrepont's) nomination, had been appointed to the office, and he could conscientiously say of him, that if he went on for the next twenty-five years as satisfactorily as he had done the pre vious, he would do credit to himself and be of great service to the institution. Mr. CLARK rose and said, that for the kind manner in which his health, as the newly-appointed Secretary, had been introduced to their notice by the noble founder, and so warmly responded to, he begged to return his sincere thanks. That he could assure them his best endeavours should never be found wanting to promote the interests of the fund, and that at the termination of his services, whorl ever that might be, he hoped to receive the same feeling of satisfaction that had this day been expressed of him by his noble proposer and founder of the institution. The report was then read by the Secretary, and the com pany separated. The subscriptions amounted to about 700/. During the evening the company were enlivened by some amusing comic songs, excellently sung by Mr. Moody. A young tenor named Genge also sang some solos very sweetly. KING'S COLLEGE, LONDON. On Friday the annual meeting of the council and pro prietors of the institution was held at the theatre of the Col lege. His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury was in the chair. There were also present the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of London, the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Lich field (late Principal of the College), Earl Brownlow, Lord Radstock, Lord Howe, Sir Benjamin Brodie, Sir R. 11.

Mr. NICOLAY read the report. It commenced by referring to the success which had attended the operation of the college during a period of seventeen years, and con gratulated the friends of the institution that . there were now being educated within its walls more students than at any previous anniversary meeting. In the department of general literature and science there were at present 122 students, in the department of the applied sciences 54, in the medical de partment 192, occasional students 85, who, with 502 pupils in the school, made a total of 955. At the Universities, the students had acquitted themselves in an honourable manner. At Cambridge, Mr. Hensley was senior wrangler, and first Smith's prizeman. Two were placed in the first class in classics, and six obtained fellowships. In the University of Oxford two bad been elected students of Christchurch, and two others had been nominated for election. In King's Col lege Hospital, the number of students was greater than in the corresponding year of 1844 by 3,000; still, the subscriptions to that institution only exceeded those of the same period by 54/.lBs. New buildings for the hospital were about being erected. The report concluded by remarking on the advan tages likely to acerue from the establishment of the theologi cal department. All the Bishops had agreed to admit stu dents of King's College as candidates for holy orders, with the exception of the Bishops of Ely and Bangor, who had declined on account of local circumstances. On the motion of GEoseix COOKE, Esq., BaTster-at-law, seconded by the Rev. Thomas H. Wix, Chaplain of St. Bar tholomew's Hospital, the report was unanimously . adopted. ro h n a g vi t n es g t ras o s n e y d a s d t d u res den s is t , io w re ho st , to the eix°xceilnlenthtecoconudrseuct of his h th is e the usual curriculum at King's College, proceeded to St. Bar tholomew's Hospital for the purpose of proceeding with their medical studies. On the motion of the Earl BROWNLOW, seconded by Lord HOWE, Alderman Thompson, M.P., was unanimously re elected Treasurer of the College. The following gentlemen were elected Councillors for the year, one of the vacancies having been occasioned by the death of the Rev. Dr. D'Oyley, and the others by retire. meats The Rev. George Shepherd, D.D. ; Sir George Staunton, Bart., 21. P., Lord Radstock, the Right Hon. the Earl of Dartmouth, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P., the Hon. Mr. Justice Patteson, and the Venerable Benjamin Harrison, M.A., Archdeacon of Maidstone. On the motion of the Lord Bishop of LONDON, seconded by H. POWNALL, Esq., a vote of thanks was passed to his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury. The MOST REV. PRELATE briefly returned thanks, and passed a well-deserved compliment upon the Rev. D. Jelf, the Principal, who had suggested the establishment of the theological department, and had made the necessary ar rangements for conducting it. He anticipated that it would be of unspeakable advantage to the Church. The meeting then separated. GARRICK CLUB.—The members of the Garrick Club held their annual dinner in memory of Shakapere, at their club house, Covent-garden, on Thursday last.

ST. CLEMENT DANES, APRIL 24.—A vestry meeting was held yesterday evening for the purpose of taking into consider ation a resolution of the committee of the vestry of St. Marylebone, to the effect " that the committee is of opinion that the Court of Sewers, as at present constituted, calls loudly for revision, its powers being arbitrary and unconstitutional—its enactments frequently 0?: pressive —its expenditure enormous and profuse, and that means . ./?! taken to abjlish the present system and establish a represe i l w a n n 7 Court of Commissioners."

EXPORTS, 1845.—The total official value of the British and Irish produce and manufactures exported from the United Kin dom in the year ending s th of January, 1846 (as shown by a return just issued by order of t h e House of Lords), was 13 4 1 499,116, an the WO &KUM rata 60,11110114 In taking the opinion of the scripholders as to the expe diency of continuing or winding up, precisely the same prin ciple is adopt e d i n t h e new Bill an d i n t h e " reso l u ti ons ," excepting that in st o ppi ng a Bill in its progress through the Legislature the mere silence of the scripholders will be suffi cient, whereas to dissolve a company, an especial meeting must be called.
