The Provisional Committee of this Company having advertised a meeting of their scripholders, for the purpose of submitting for their approval the Bill now before Parliament to authorise the construc tion of the above line of railway, we the undersigned take this op portunity of stating that we retain our original objections to the scheme. We consider the line of the proposed railway would be costly in construction and unremunerative to the proprietors, circuitous as a means of communication between Ulverstone, the west coast, and the south of England, and therefore likely to be supplanted hereafter by a more direct line; and, not being called for, or justified by any public necessity, that it would involve a wanton interference with private interests. We, and many other landowners upon the proposed line of railway, have presented a petition to the House of Commons, containing the above and other grounds of objection, and we shall adopt all ie cessary means for urging them before the Committee on the Bill.

Atte first broke out at a few minutes past four, upon the premises be longing to Messrs. R. and R. Soulters, ship-chandlers and sail-makers, carrying on business in Lower Shadwell. The flames originated in the ground floor of the back work-shop. Owing to the prompt assistance afforded by the firemen, police-constables, and strangers, the fire was confined to that portion of the premises in which it commenced. The damage will be covered by an insurance in the-Phcenix Fire Office. At half-past five, the sa:ne morning; considerable ',lam was created in the neighbourhood of Holborn, by a report being raised that the premises of Mr. C. Necking, silk-mercer and linen-dr:lwr, situate' at No. 62, an the hill, were on fire. Engines of the Brigade and Went of Log i ind Office attended with all exp,.dition. .It was then ascertaintd that the flooring and trimming joists ire the 'dining-room on the second floor had become .ignited. The inmates, &c., by grtat exertion, got the fire out, but not before considerable clareas:,e was done by wrote n not only to the apartment' in whin the disaster occur red, hut also t) the floor under and the stock in one part of the shop. The fire is returned to the insurance. offices to have arisen from smoking tobacco. Mr. Meeking is insured in the Sun, Phcenix, the London, the Union, Atlas, Norwich Union, and Scottish Union Offices. Be teer, four and five in the afternoon, a fire, of an alarming nature, was discovered burning on the premises belonging to Messrs. Bowler and Son, hat manufacturer; situate at 'No. 1, Crescent, Southwark-bridge-road, next door to the bri gade station. Upon the alarm being given, the firemen from the adjoining station entered the building, but they were unable to get the flames extinguished without setting their engine to work. Upwards of a quarter of an hour elapsed before any water could be obtained from the South wark mains. There being, however, a large tank full in Mr. May's livery-yard, close by, the firemen threw the same on the flames, but before they could get them sublued the drying. room in which they commenced was burned out, and the st, ck of hats therein consumed. The proprietor was in sured in the Sun Fire Office.—About the same time that Ithe last fire occurred another broke out at No. 12, Mitcham street. Lifson-grove, belonging to Mr. Thomas Greenwood, pianoforte-maker. It was caused from some fire falling out of a stove amongst a heap of shavings. Owing to the ig nitable nature of the stock, five or six pianofortes were quickly in a blaze. These were standing in the workshop on the first floor, and for some time it was feared that the whole building would have been destroyed. The parish en gines, four of the brigade, and, the West of England one, quickly attended, but the flames were not extinguished until Offiremoval. ce Aoi i t n rh j . e u r r injury Greenwood: e sadhbaepenp happened da n s e by fire, insured6fi s re, u. water, ipnpetr h ec and a Phoenixr hasty lo tte street, Fitzroy -squar e at 24, Coach a t n: e d et H .

THE / TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUV: SIR,—It has been reported that Sir Robert Peel the other day, in his place in the Howe of Commons, stated that the corn-laws were not only impolitic, but they were unjust. If it is true that the Premier of the greatest country in the world gave utterance to these expressions, he conveyed a moral truth which does as much honour to his head as his heart. This great moral principle expressed in so solemn a mariner, not only thrills the heart with delight, but carries hope and pleasure home to the breast of every honest man. But the same great principle, if car ried out, is equally applicable, and applies with as mach force to other things. Why not then apply the same great principle to the interest of the nary ? Who could have read the speeches and statements of Commodore Sir Charles Napier and Captain ROll3 when the navy estimates were dis cussed, last session, without being astounded at the millions spent in altering and building ships ? Surely the ships taken from France and Spain were the finest models in the world, and all built on mathematical principles! Suck models were a beacon aid a guide, and might have been improved upon without spending such extraordinary sums! Again, have rt course to Haltain s New Naval List, you will .es some officers about six months lieutenants and com manders—others, twenty years and upwards! These glaring and crying acts of injustice call aloud for redress. When the Admiralty established the just rule of suffering every officer to serve for three years successirely, why did they confine it to the favourite few ? If that just rule had been carried out fairly there would have been no need of a retirement, because officers refusing, or unable to serve, might have been shelved, and had a 'retiring allowance according to their services. It is not my business, Sir, to detail to you cases of officers abandoned, without hope, which this bad system creates ; but I could a case unfold that would " adorn a tale" and " point a moiaL" Besides, it is a stumbling block to merit.—l am, &c.

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The Canopus, 84, Captain Fairfax Moresby, arrived at Spithead this morning about nine o'elock, from Halifax, last from Plymouth, with the re mainder of the 43d Regiment on board. She spoke the squadron of evolution yesterday, between- three and four o'clock, working down Channel, and saluted the Commo dore when the latter was off Dunnose. When spoken, the squadron was running 'down under single-reefed top ails and courses, except the Trafalgar, which was astern under top gallant sails. The steamers were to leeward under Canvass, the. Terrible leading, and the Retribution heeling over with every puff of wind in a very extraordinary manner. The strong easterly gale which blew from half-past one yesterday, and continued during the night, prevented the Canopus making Spithead until this morning. She left Halif.x on the 28th ult. After disembarking her troops she will proceed to join the squadron. Numerous casualties are reported to have occurred yester day. Two Gosport wherries are missing; they went out full of company, but neither boats nor freight have yet made their appearance, and it is feared the squall came upon them unawares, and swamped them. The Bee tender had a narrow escape ; so frail a vessel was but as a sheet of paper upon the water; however, we are happy to say, she brought all her company safely home about 6 o'clock. The Emerald tender, with Major-General and Lady Pakenham, family, and party on board, could not beat up at all against the gale, and to save herself and party was compell d to make the cir cuit of the Isle of Wight and come up through the Needles, lard!ng her party at nearly 12 o'clock, drenched, of course. The Lady de Saumarez steamer, with between 200 and 300 passengers on board, was driven ashore, and remained stranded some hours, but eventually got safely off, the pas-. sengers having, in the interval, been taken out in the coast wherries. An aged waterman said he never witnessed a squall so sudden in his life, nor a gale so soon spring up from a summer breeze. The Collingwood, 80, Captain Smart, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir George Seymour;Coremander-in-Chief in the Pacific, was at Valparaiso on the 28th of January. A private letter of the above date says—" We are still here (Valparaiso), and do not expect to sail much before April next. The Spy brigantine, Lieutenant-Commander Woolridge, has been hove down in consequence of getting ashore in the Straits of Magellan, and having damaged about 50 feet of her false keel and copper. She is now ready for sea, and expects to sail shortly for the Leeward Islands. The Admiral has been on a week's cruise in the Cormorant steam-sloop, Commander Gordon, with his family; he returned on the 23d inst. Our mizenmast is repaired, and we are now all right again. The officers intend to give the inhabitants a grand entertainment. The Cormorant will sail in a few days for Panama for our Admiral's dispatches. The Fisgard sailed on the 6th for Callao. The Collingwood, Cormorant, Spy, and Nereus, 42, store ship, are iu harbour, all well. The French brig Genes, 20, arrived from Rio On the 22d. I believe the affair of Callao, mentioned in my last as likely to lead to hostilities, is amicably adjusted, but I will not fail to put you in posses sion of the facts in my next." The Athol troop ship, Master Commanding E. J. P. Peara, took on board some detachments of regiments from Park hurst barracks, Isle of Wight, yesterday, brought by Echo steam-tug, and sailed this morning for the westward. The Royal Yacht hauled alongside the dockyard this morning to replenish fuel. . The Penelope took out her guns yesterday by the shears alongside the dockyard jetty; she hauled off again to her hulk this morning. THE OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION AT THE POST-OFFICE.

Woowicrt, MAY 14.—The Sea Queen, hired cr;nyiet ship, sailed from opposite the Royal Arsenal, on Monday, with female convicts, for Sydney; and the John Calvin, hired convict-ship, on Wednesday, with male convicts, for Norfblk Island. One of the con victs on board the latter vessel attempted to escape on Thursd my last by jumping overboard, and the Sentry had his gun presented to Ore at him, when a waterman's boat, belonging to one of the Woolich water men, named Davis, came in a line with the convict, which prevented the sentry from thing. The waterman, on being made acquainted with the convict's attempt to escape, rowed towards him and brought him back to the John Calvin. The convicts for the Maitland convict ship, still lying off the Royal Arsenal, have not yet been brought down the river. • • inlet( SOCIETY OF LONDON.
