" By the scheme promoted by the Direct N'orthertt Railway Com pany it is proposed to bring York (to the n ,, rth of which city there is a population exceeding: flve-nsillions) withlirthe dlsta , o. (as mea aimed thiS) Of four hours end a half from Londoter to reduce by 42 miles the distance now traversed by the existing means of railway communication between those termini ; to lessen the distance as projected by the competing plan least favourable to the public) that of the Eastern Counties Extension by Cambridge and Lincoln) by 21% miles, and as projected by the most favourable rival scheme (that of the London and York) by ten miles ; and yet so to reconcile this result with local wants, as to place, without in any instance sacrificing the principle of directness, every town of importance in the districts to be served by this Company's main line nearer Lon don, either by means of the main line itself, or of well-devised lateral lines, than they are by the scheme of the London and York , which, I for the sake of passing through certain towns, pursues a devious route to York, thereby inflicting a serious injury on the country north of the Humber. " Thus the scheme of the Direct Northern Railway offers to the North of England, and to all Scotland, advantages presented by no other project whatever. These advantages it also immediately con veys to Bedford, St. Neots, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Stamford, Grantham, Newark, Lincoln, East Retford, Sheffield, Gainsbooaugh, Doncaster, Pontefract, Selby, and Hull ; whilst it lessens by twenty eight miles the rou:e to Leeds, the great manufacturing capital of Yorkshire, itself rapidly becoming the centre of on important railway system. " With perfectly unexceptionable gradients, that in no case ex ceeded I in 200, with upwards of sixty-nine miles of level on its main line, with no works of any engineering difficulty or of peculiarly ex pensive execution, with only 3,900 yards of tunnelling in eight tun nels, with no opening or swing bridges, with only one viaduct, and that of 500 yards, and with remarkably easy curves, the Direct North ern Rillway, whilst its primary object is to unite in the directest manner London and York, will at the same time serve a rich, fertile, and populous country, will reciprocate the advantages of easy and inexpmsive communication between the manufacturing towns of the north and the agricultural and grazing counties of eastern and central England, and will connect by the shortest route the south of England at.d the continent of Europe with York, the north of England, and Scotland. _ _ _ The shareholders will observe the suggestion mode by Mr. Miller, which proposes to introduce a new element of safety, regularity, and speed into ralway travelling, by the conveyance of passengers and goods upon separate lines. This suggestion will, no doubt, receive the consideration due to its importance in the ensuing sess:on. " The Committee entirely concur with Mr. 31i11er in the important bearlng which the Holborn Terminus project has on the Direct Northern. It is in effect, though under different management, an ex tension of that line into the heart of London. By its means the London Terminus of the Direct Northern Railway will he Immediately avail able for the Post-office and the City of London generally (between Furnival's inn and Gray's-inn-lane), and will itself form a portion of one side of the widest thoroughfares in London, will be in the immediate vicinity of the Courts of Law and Inns of Court, and comes more into the heart of London, with less sacrifice of valuable property, than any metropolitan terminus which has been suggested. " In accordance, therefore, with Mr. Miller's recormnendatien, and in pursuance of the powers entrusted to them by their proprie tary, the Committee have taken steps to secure control over tids project, satisfied that it affords the most central, and, at the same time, the most accessible and least expensive London terminus. " The Committee refer the shareholders to the map accompanying this Report; it fully shows the course and relations of the Direct Northern Railway, and its national character. Up to the 30th of November, all the standing orders of Parlia ment have beep' complied with ; and the soPcP ors report their per foct ability to fulfil all that remains to be completed within tits time limited by the Legislature. " Thus prepared, an i with deposits paid, and the proper deeds signed by a body of most responsible Slisreholders, the Corn- mittee intend to make their aplication to Parliament at the earliest possible day, confident that a project of such undoubted public utility as the Direct Northern, in which the public service itself is deeply interested, will there receive what It only needs to ensure its success —a fair and impartial hearing." The following tables, appended to the Report of the Company's Engineer (John Miller, Esq.), will show the relative advantages of the Direct Northern in point of distances, as compared with its com petitors for legislative sanction, and with existing It may here be observed, that the distance between the cross of St. Paul's Cathedral, in London, and the centre of the Great Tower of York Minster, as measured along the earth's surface, is, according to the Ordnance Survey, 920,108.7 feet, or very nearly 1744 miles ; and that tile main line of the Direct Northern, between London and York, is 176 miles. WILLIAMS'S NEWLY-INVENTED RAFT, Wit Y . W . l L L E I LI formerly SriC ATA a f A seaman in Navy during the late war, and for many years since in t he Merchant ll AF h T o r Majesty'ser LI FF.- R A o T y . Service, having been cast away, and in a water-loved ship for many days, has devoted much of his time to the invention of a boat or raft, for the more effectual preservation of human lift. in cases of ship wreck, and having paid great attention to the life-boats at present in use in this and other 'countries, has: invented one which :will more effectually answer the purpose for which it is 'intended, not being liable to capsize or fill with water, a great fault with many of the boats now in use, which is vary often attended with serious consequences, owing to the delay which unavoidably occurs through the boats being capsized, and the men thereby unfit to render the, assistance necessary for the preservation of the sufferers on board the vessel they are endeavouring to rescue from de struction—being themselves in avant of assistance, thereby occasion ing a loss of much valuable time, and in all probability the lives of the unfortunate beings they are endeavouring to rescue from an untimely fate. The Life-Boat, or English Catamaran, invented by W. Williams, being composed of sheet iron, and of very light con struction is capable of laying within four points of the wb.d and withstanding all weathers, and able to beat to windward in the heaviest gale that C All possibly nectar (when no otln r boat now in use can venture out.) and cannot by any accident capsize either by stress of weather or in a heavy surf, and will go through the water with double the speed of any other Life-Boat now in use, in all weathers ; with only four men to manage her, and two lug sails, and will he capable of r. maining longer out, and would be the means (under Divine Providence) of saving more lives than any other kind of boat yet invented ; and can be made to save at each trip a ship's company, consisting of 100 souls without the least risk, as may ha seen by the model, and more fully explained by the In ventor, and can take all the crew and eassengers from the wreck at (rein GO to 100 yards distance with the greatest facility, and without the least danger, not having occasion to go alongside should the vessel be on the rocks or any dangerous situation where other boats dare not approach. This Life-Boat of W. Williams's invention can be, made to take to pieces or put together by the carpenter of any vessel in thirty minutes, and shoved away at hand, and most part of her can be made available for the ship's use. All vessels going abroad with passengers or engaged in the Green land Fishery, Ought to be provided with it boat of the above descrip tion for the preservation of life in case of accident, as it will answer as well on the ice as on the water, and all dangerous parts of our own coast as well as that of other countries, ought to be provided with one of theseiboats. They can be made to any dimensions, according to the number of passengers and crew, or the service for which they are Intended ; and are particularly well adapted for the service of landing troops .in heavy surfs or shallow water, drawing less than any of the fiat-bottomed boats now in use.

MECHI'S SYSTEM of TRADE is to warrant every article of his manufacture, exchange what is defective, or return the money if required, so that his customers may feel perfect confidence, and have what suits them hest. He is desirous of having it well understood that, although his establishment presents a large and well arranged stock of rich and elegant manufactures, still the ordinary articles of utility may be purchased of him cheaper than elsewhere. For instance, the best single-bladed penknives at I s. each are warranted ; good scissors at the sante price ; excellent tooth brushes 6d. each, and the belt silver wire and solid back at 9d. each ; good plain mahogany writing-desks, 12s. each ; work-boxes at all prices ; six well finished table knives and forks for ss. 6d. ; Britannia metal tea and coffee pots, plated on steel and German silver articles, all reasonable and good. It may be well to state that there are plenty of persons in the trade who have imitated articles of Mechi's solo invention without being candid enough to acknow ledge it, such as his patent castellated tooth brushes, his Mechian dressing-case, his magic strop and paste, and so on. Medd thinks it no more than just to remind his customers ef this fact, and to guard them against purchasing as his articles, purporting :to be what they are not, although dearer in price and inferior in quality.

To-day the tide has risen to an extraordinary height at this port, inundating all the lower part of the town and doing much damage to warehoused property. From the Point- beach nearly up to Capstan-square the water was deep enough to swim an ordinary wherry; at high-water the waves dashed over the ramparts and rendered the usual approaches impassable; the landing-place on this side of the Floating-bridge was rendered unavailable by the water, the sea making a clean inroad through the avenues into Bath-square and Broad-street. The lower parts of the town of Portsea and the suburb of Southsea were also similarly inundated. On the Gosport shore the effects of the high tide were similarly destructive.

The gunnery establishment on board the Excellent, in Portsmouth Harbour, is regarded by many of our most intelligent naval men as one of very great importance to their service, and in this we perfectly agree with them, but it were well had the introduction of the new system not interfered with the maintenance, in due strength, of the Royal Marine Artillery—a well-trained and most useful corps—to whose real value the eyes of those in authority have once more been opened. The reduction of this corps was a blunder. Its recent augmentation is a step in the right direction. The usefulness of such a force is not exceeded by that of any other corps in the service. Afloat—and more particularly in steam and mortar vessels—there can be no better gunners. Accus. waled to the see, they feel as much at home there in the teie of the great gun in all fighting weather, as any men ad i nri disciplined the ielilpe lri ni len v d y a n , t haiasnnd int the eo e s y raei hsl sailors. t sg a tae d i Id a , inontneasgse, shore,porf' practice, c e t the i i n ce g ,mo b ar e r t gi t te e i e - r of neral efficiency, inferior to the men of that distinguished corps, the Royal Artillery. At his gun, either on land or at sea, there can be no better man than him. But we have not yet mentioned an advantage which the marine artillery man possesses over the seaman gunner, and which we consider so important in the present posture of affairs, that our chief object in pen ning this article is to call attention to it. The marine artillery - man is enlisted for twenty-one years' sea-service. Whatever cost the country may be at to train him, she is sure of his service for his best days. When hi s training is completed she knows that she has in him a most effective, well-taught, arid brave combatant,; and that she can rely upon' retaining his serViceisNklist! the prime of life continues. She knows that in t:rokin# 3 , him she has. not -teen ;:14 the charge ttt , instructing a nistk*ho;:af!fr at thlaw :kw* years 'service,u3 eknbirletige slreihtis ta and nuufglitrienhc4imy,rettitoknelltefluabory,t 4, 1 4 4 1 5V1 14 *.03,4! learned from her, an - d - thifil;eitow on a foreign power, tu m r 7t his jeal ta ls according to his ability, the benefit of that system, which, to maintain, his own land has borne the (in such instances) profitless cost. Now with the seaman-gunner the case is widely different. At a considerable cost to the country he learns the management of a ship's guns. Grant that his training is perfect, and his usefulness afloat undeniable. He is sent a finished gunner to a m se a aoin g n -g so m well man-of n-ova r taught a . n d H is soserviceable officers a re glad in to the have day y a of battle. He serves his term of three or four years. The ship is paid off.

Again, in the hour of need, to take his place at th e ship's battery, and on the gun-deck show how England trains her sons for the battle? No. His training on board the Excellent has not un taught him the frequent waywardness and caprice of a sailor. Jack, gunner, or no gunner, is ever as incon stant and unsteady, except when an enemy is actually before him, as the fickle element on which he sails. He may just take it into his head quietly to cut the Queen's service, for a start at least, and make his next ♦oyage in some merchantman, American or America bound. His third change will as probably be to the first Yankee frigate he may fall in with. He will find her with plenty of hands to make the work light, and himself in the receipt of increased pay, and with, a ship's company, the best part of whom have no more right to hail for the States than he has. In return for all these advantages he will do his part toward teaching his new shipmates how to defend the red-striped flag ; and the republic will thank the rulers who send her such smart rods wherewith to whip the Queen's Brit ishers. _ _ _ _ Frailty, with Coloured Engravings.

Mr. KEMP then moved that the report be received, and that the Company shoald continue t►ll the result of the negotiations with the existing line 3, and the report of Sir Robert Peel's committee should be known. _ An American, not long ago, hearing an English naval officer boasting of the system on board the Excellent, replied, "Oh ! you mean our Excellent ! Yes, we get some famous gunners from hcr. We do ad-mire that system, and we hope you'll stick to it." Now, we ask, does England act wisely in maintaining the present system of providing gunners for her fleets, and sharing them with America ? Because we feel con vinced of the excellence of such corps as the marine artillery, we do not, therefore, say that there should be no regular seamen gunners. We most readily admit the usefulness of these men. We are not ignorant of the alertness of their exercise, and the correctness of their practice with the sturdy thirty-two. We can well appreciate their services, But for this very reason do we the more firmly find fault with the present uncertainty of retaining them for a sufficient term—for a term far exceeding the usual duration of a ship's commission. Surely it cannot be a proper expendi ture of any part of the sums granted for the formation and maintenance of a great naval force, to bestow it on the instruction of a body of men upon whose services we can reckon for only a very short term, and who, if this year ours, may be an enemy's the next. Surely it can not be wise, after carefully training a combatant, not only to neglect to secure his services, but actually to leave it in his power to employ the skill and knowledge acquired at our expense, in teaching still further to our cost the warriors, and in defending the flag, of a hostile nation.

LOSS OF LIFE. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY, HALF-PAST THREE O'CL WIC —This morning, at about a quarter to twelve, a large corn warehouse, the property of Mr. John Tipping, and occupied by Messrs. Steele and Co., corn-merchants, suddenly fell with a tremendous crash, burying a num ber of men who were at work in the building in the ruins. Fortunately, the greater portion of the men were at the north end of the building, which did not fall im mediately, and they escaped by jumping from the third story into the street. Eight or ten are yet missing. It appears from the statement of one that escaped that he heard a tremendous noise, and looking up he saw the beams breaking, and the south end of the building fall. He turned hastily round, more dead than alive with fear, and jumped headlong into the street. The street into which the ruins fell is completely choked, and as it had been all the morning crowed with teams and waggons employed in the corn trade, it is exceedingly probable that some of them have been destroyed. Indeed, it is currently reported and believed, that a cart with two horses and two men who were unloading there a short time before are beneath the immense pile of ruias. " The Mayor, Mr. Dowling, Mr. S. Holme, a first rate practical enginer, and a strong body of police were quickly on the spot ; gangs of men have been set to work, and they are now actively engaged in searching for the bodies of those who it is feared are killed ; but as they were in the lower stories they have not yet reached them. " The building, which was very old, seems to have been very badly constructed, and to have been held up by those on either side. It was seven stories high, and heavily loaded with wheat, barley, peas, and barrels of American flour. " An excavation has just been commenced to reach the underground story, where, it is believed, several men were at work. " The devoted building was situated in Moor-street, near St. George's Church, in a very narrow thorough fare, and a more complete wreck was never witnessed. The front wall fell with great force against the salt fish warehouse of Mr. Mendsell, but fortunately did no damage beyond breaking all the windows, and covering every article within its walls with dust and flour. A gentleman who was writing near one of the windows had a very narrow escape. . . SHEERNESS, JAN. 29.—The Raven cutter, Lieutenant Commander J. Stephens, sailed for Hull and North Yar mouth on Saturday, for the purpose of bringing round any seamen who may have entered at the rendezvous established at those ports. The African, port steamer, Second Master Barker, proceeded to Woolwich on Monday, to have certain de fects in her machinery made good. The Duck lighter has proceeded to Chatham with naval stores. The Sampson steam frigate, Captain Thomas Hender son, has taken on board 150 tons of coals, intending to fill up at Portsmouth. She is now having her com passes adjusted in the harbour, and will go to the Nore to take in her powder and be inspected by the Com mander-in-Chief on Saturday, after which she will pro ceed to Spithead to be paid advance wages. The Viper, 4, schooner, Lieutenant Edward Gray, is nearly complete in her fittings, and will leave the basin to-morrow. She has already bent sails, and is now hav ing her armament fitted, which consists of two 18- pounders, 5i feet long, 15 cwt. each ; and two 12- pounder carronades. It was intended to have mounted a long gun forward, but there was no room for one. The Fury steam-sloop is being jury-rigged with all despatch, upwards of 100 men from the Ocean being busily employed on her. The Sampson will take her in tow as far as Port-mouth, en route to Liverpool. The Electra, 18, Commander Hall, and the Snake, 16, Commander Brown, progress slowly with their fittings in the basin. Both have got the tops over their mast heads, and the few seamen that have entered with the detachments of marines who joined on Friday from the Chatham division are proceeding with the lower rigging. The Wildfire steam tender continues refitting in the basin, and the Tartarus steam-surveying vessel in dock. The Dido, 20, Ferret, 10, and Griffon, 6, are also still in dock under repair. The Ferret is nearly ready, and will probably be commissioned in the course of next week. At this moment England is menaced by the President at least, of the United States. He has very plainly threatened to take possession of a territory to which we assert a right equal, if not superior, to that of his own nation. This may be a threat, and nothing more. We sincerely desire that such it may eventually be found— not that we lack confidence in England s might—not that we fear that the event of the war would tarnish the well-won fame of her gallant sons, or that victory will at length desert the flag that " for a thousand years has braved the battle and the breeze," but that we wish not for any glory, or any triumph, bought at the price of war's misery and man's blood. We do not wish for war. Still the chances of an open rupture with the States, it cannot be denied, are greater now than they have been for many years. It is, therefore, most reasonable that, while we do all that we honourably can to avoid hostili ties, we neglect no measures of precaution or prepara tion. The more complete these are, and the fewer the advantages we leave within an adversary's reach, the more will we lessen his desire to assail us, and should he, nevertheless, indulge it, the more rapid will be our pro grass in bringing him to his senses, and teaching him once more to value the blessings of peace. Taking this view of the matter, we would wish at once to throw every obstacle in the way of his slyly benefittiug by any naval institutions maintained at our sole charge and trouble. Taking this view, we cannot think it prudent to allow our seamen gunners to abandon our service for that of the States whenever it may please them. It may be said that there are difficulties in the way of altering the present system of entering these men. Be it so. There are difficulties to encounter in almost every change of system in a country such as ours ; but shall we, therefore, be deterred from every reasonable reform ? Now, in the face of all diffiaelties, we venture to assert that the interests of the country require that the short-service system cease, and that all men entering for instruction as gunners on board the Excellent be en listed for unlimited service, as the men of the marine artillery, or at least for a term of fourteen or fifteen years. Whenever their ships are paid off, let them have a reasonable term of leave, and let them return to quar ters at Portsmouth, until their services in sea-going ships shall be again required. In Portsmouth they can be usefully employed during such intervals. Upon this system they wilt learn to identify themselves more closely with the royal service ; they will acquire more exact habits of discipline ; their health and stamina will be better preserved ; and the country may make certain, which she now cannot, of an adequate return for the charge and trouble of their training and instruction. " At this moment, as I am closing the parcel for the express train, the body of one of the workmen has been dug out in a dreadfully mangled state. The workmen are redoubling their exertions, and great excitement prevails, as it is anticipated others are near at hand." In accordance with an Admiralty order, a report has been made to their Lordships of the state and condition of the heavy frigates in this ordinary, viz., the Chichester and Worcester (new), and the Cornwall and Conquestador (razees), 50-gun frigates, and the probable time it would take to fit each of them for commission.

Woorwicff, JAN. 30.—The Onyx, steam-vessel, brought down the river from Ditchburn and Mare's, has had Lieutenant Mudge, the officers and crew of the Ariel steam-vessel, transferred to her, and left Woolwich yes terday for Greenhithe, to have her compasses adjusted previous to proceeding to be employed as a packet-vessel on the Dover station. The African steam-vessel arrived at Woolwich from Chatham, to have her defects made good. The Monkey steam-vessel, Master Commander Wm. Bryant, left Woolwich yesterday for Portsmouth, with a large steam vessel's funnel for practice, from the Excel lent, gunnery-ship at that port. The Manceuvrer arrived at Woolwich yesterday, from Chatham. STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, JAN. 30.----There has been no apparent change in the foreign Wool market since our last report. Sales to about the same extent have been effected, and prices continue steady. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JAN. 30.—We have not any variation to report in this branch of trade this week. Prices are stationary. LEEDS.—Our cloth markets, both on Saturday and Tuesday, were very dull, both buyers and sellers being in a complete state of suspense as to what the measure of the Government would be for the settlement of the great question at issue. We have no doubt that coa -1 fidence will be restored by the developement of the plan of the Ministry. Prices continue pretty firm, and stocks moderate. Business has been rather brisk the latter part of the week in the warehouses, chiefly in purchases for shipping. It was moved as an amendment by Mr.LAFORREST,and seconded by Mr. ANGELO SOLARI, that the Company be dissolved. The amendment haying been put by the chairman, was carried by 15 against 3. ;The meeting then broke . up. The CHAIRMAN then read the report, of which the following is an abstract:—The Company was formed in May and June, 1845, after considerable trouble and ex pense to the promoters. The maximum of capital was to be 2,000,000/. in 100,000 shares of 20/. each. Soon after the committee had extensively issued their pro spectuses, the House of Commons ordered that all new lines should deposit 10 per cent. instead of 5, as for merly. The House of Lords, also, ordered that a depo sit of 10 per cent. should be demanded from all railways. The engineer's report being favourable, it was deemed advisable to prepare plans and sections for Parliament. They did deposit these plans and sections ; they had upwards of 5,800 letters of application, which had been fully investigated. They subsequently determined to reduce the 100,000 shares to 75,000, and, after retain ing a proportion for the members of the committee, they allotted to the public 68,911 shares, and out of that num ber 68,141 had had deposits paid on them. Although the shares were for a considerable time selling at a pre mium, not one of the members of the provisional com mittee had asked or received any further allotment than the shares he had at first requested, and in any one case those shares did not exceed 100. Overtures had been made by the Manchester and Milford-haven Company, which had, however, fallen to the ground, as that Com pany were not in a condition to go to Parliament. They were afterwards induced to alter the original line, and that involved an increased expense of 57,0001. This was not the fault of the engineer, for by the odposition of the Earl of Lisburn, they were obliged to make a tunnel 5,000 yards (as we understood) in length. At present, the Company, after paying the accounts which had been sent into them, had a balance in their favour of 49,992/. Os. sd. Among the items of expenditure was about 9,0001. to the engineer, of which 5,9001. was paid.-- (Shame.) The reading of the solicitor's account, amounting to nearly 6,0001., 2.8001. of which was paid, was also received with disapprobation. Mr. FULLER moved the adoption of the report, and that the further call of U. should not be made until after the second reading of their Bill in the House of Commons. Mr. WILLIAMS, in a long address, full of detailed statistics, exhibiting the expected traffic on the line, seconded the resolution. Mr. IIoPOOOD said, that on looking over the account, he could not conceal from himself that the direction which could sanction such an expenditure were not en titled to the confidence of the shareholders. They had an engineer whose expenses amounted to 9,0001., and a solicitor's of 6,0001., and the sooner inquiry was made into every circumstance connected with the line the better. The Harpy, Lieutenant Commander H. B. Procter, left Woolwich this morning for Greenhithe, to have her compasses adjusted, and will then proceed to Devonport. She is expected to proceed with the least possible delay to South America, for service in the River Plate. The Gladiator and Terrible steam-vessels will not be completed before the middle of next month. The Princess Alice steam-vessel, Master Commander L. Smithett, will leave Woolwich for Dover early next week. Royal Marines.—Two sergeants and fifty privates of the Woolwich division, under the command of Lieutenant Henry Varlo, embarked at Roff'e-wharf on Friday morn ing at nine o'clock a.m., for a passage to Blackwall , en route to Chatham, until the new barracks in progress of construction at Woolwich are completed. The re moval of these troops took place to make room for the recruits daily pouring - in from all parts of the country, orders having been issued to the recruiting parties of the four divisions of Royal Marines to send all recruits to head-quarters, at Woolwich. A large model of a por tion of a ship-of-war is in progress of construction at the rear of the new Marine Barracks, at Woolwich, to exe rcise the men with large ship - guns, four of which are mounted on each side of the model. Sergeant- Major Cooper, of the Woolwich division, was presented ' with a silver medal and a gratuity of 15/., and Private Martin, a silver medal and a gratuity of 51., for good conduct, on Friday last. They were presented with the medals, in presence of the non-commissioned officers and men of the divisions on the guard mounting parade at ten o'cicck a.m. Mr. COURTENAT rose, and said that he was forced to address the meeting, and he did so in consequence of the discourteous manner in which the proceedings had been conducted on the part of the committee of manage ment; but now he had once embarked with the ethers, he was determined never to stop until he obtained some solution of the affairs of this Company. He had several questions to ask before he proposed the resolution which he intended that day to submit to the meeting. In the first place, he found the names of eighty-eight indi viduals inserted in the prospectus as promoters, and out of that number seventy-one resided in the country through which the line was to pass. He should like to know how many of those promoters had taken shares, and to what amount?—(Cheers.) The gentleman who had just sat down said that he lived two miles away from the line. He (Mr. Courtenay) wanted to know what had been done for the line by those gentlemen whose lands were to be benefited by it? He would ask the chairman how many of the promoters had shares? The CHAIRMAN said that such a question was not customary.—(Cries of " Yes, it is; yes, it is." " Where is the secretary?") Mr. COURTENAY remonstrated against the disturb ance. The CHAIRMAN said he could not say how many of the promoters were holders. But he knew how many the committee of management had.—(A cry of "Where is the secretary ?”) The CHAIRMAN said that the secretary might be said to have resigned. nien through COURTENAYsaid whose th lands t if nd it should te r right; lineappearht;bau s w t thatitof they phs the aesy had ge nl‘tilre. taken any shares, it would bs nee3h. i s all shareholders hadolders taoskpeadusae beforeha dno t, th eh.re spentrecommended anymo all th e ques tion with the view of a r s e certaining that fact.

A gre a t many merchants and bankers in the districts through which the line was to pass had taken shares to the number of 1300 altogether, and had paid the second calls. Mr. COURTENAY said they had a right to more de tailed information than a general assertion could convey. Lle knew from experien ce t h at the names of gentlemen were often inserted in railway prospectuses without their consent. First and f oremost on the prospectus of this railway was the name of Sir John Conroy. Ile had written to Sir J. Conroy to ask whether his name was down with his consent, but he had received no answer. —(Shame, shame.) The second question he would ask was, whether th e p romoters were t h e h o ld ers of original shares, and whether Sir John's name was inserted with bis consent ? The CHAIRMAN said that he was in possession of tho written consent of every gentleman whose name was down. Mr. COURTENAT said he was sorry that they were afraid to aver their consent. UNDER THE PATRONAGE OF MANY OF THE NOBILI FY. ALLEN'S COMPOUND ANTIBILIOUS PILLS, prepared by Thomas Allen, late of Mile-end-road, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London, and Licentiate of the Apothecaries' Company, and a pupil of the late eccentric and celebrated John Abernethy, Esq., F.R.S. ; twenty-two years a prin cipal Surgeon to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. During a practical trial of twenty years, these Pills have been found an invaluable remedy in cases of indigestion, liver, and bilious complaints. For derangements of the digestive organs and obstructions, a sluggish action of the liver and bowels, which occasions more or less the fol lowing symptoms, viz., heartburn, giddiness, acidity, headache, sickness, spasms, and flatulent distention of the stomach and bowels, drowsiness and dimness of sight, an uncomfortable sensa tion experienced at the pit of the stomach soon after eating, with a eeling of a weight of oppression, appetite impaired, breathing diffi cult, tenderness about the region of the liver, bowels irregular, some times obstinately costive with languor and depression of spirits.

BRADFORD, THURSDAY.—There has been more in quiry for combing wools, but we do not hear of more business being d one ; t h e pr i ces sought have b een a barrier to more extended operations. Short wool and noils are sought after, without alteration in prices. The demand f or y arns i s stea dil y i ncreas i ng , an d t h e stock in the manufacturers' hands generally small. This augurs well for an early amendment, which we hope will not only extend to increased consumption, but al s o improved prices. There is some inquiry made by the shippers, and we hope ere long to report general activity. The measures introduced by Sir Robert Peel appear to be generally well received, and tend to inspire confidence that ere long we shall be again in prosperity. The business doing is fully equal to this season, and prices firm. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We have had rather more doing to-day than of late in all kinds of cloth; there is evidently more confidence, as well as a stronger disposition to do business than on this day week. We cannot rate prices higher, but the market closes rather buoyant than otherwise. Yarns are ready sale and fully as dear.

A public meeting of the original shareholders of this Company, to hear the report and a statement of the accounts from the provisional committee, was - 114d ' the London Tavern on Saturday last. Mr. John Carter, by request of the meeting, took the chair, and called on the solicitor of the Company to read the report. From the statement laid before the meeting, it ap peared that the amount at the debit of the cash account, arising from deposits of 1L 102. per share and interest, was 8,8781. 9s. 11d. The disbursements made were for petty cash, 1,2801. 7s. Bd.; for legal expenses, 7581. 18s. 2d. ; for engineering and parliamentary expenses, 2,3751. 7s. 6d., and for salaries 4091. 101. ; leaving a balance on hand of 4,0651.65. 7d. The report stated that the object of the Company was to lay down a line of railway from Waterloo-bridge to Greenwich, by Kennington, Cam berwell, and Peckham, a distance almost of five miles, through a district which was almost a dead level, and where ground was not valuable ; that the Company bad started with fair hopes of success, anticipating always amalgamation with some of the lines south of the Thames, and with this view had kept their arrangements open, but hitherto without success, although one of the ex isting Companies had been approached, and they were still on terms with others ; that the provisional commit tee recommend amalgamation with some other existing lines, or remaining till the return of another session of Parliament ; or breaking up at once and dividing the fund,. After the conclusion of the report, several proprietors found fault with the large outlay stated, viewed in refer ence to the amount ot•deposits, which some thought was not prudently provided against by allotting so small a number of shares. _ _ "'0 \~ ~ d\2 ~ ~~:\ ~ ©(«\ ~ ~~~~ ~._. GREAT NORTH AND SOUTH WALES AND WORCESTER RAILWAY. A public meeting of the shareholders (called by the direotors) in the above line, was held on Saturday, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. In consequence of th e d eterm i ned opposition offered by the scripholders to she further call of 11, made by the managing committee, and the publicity given to that opposition through the medium of the public prints, a vast number of the shareholders and others interested assembled, but, owing to the confined space, they after wards, after considerable altercation, adjourned to the largest room. After considerable confusion, during which motions without number (some of them for an adjournment to another day) were made, and allowed to fall to the ground, Mr. John Francis Bacon was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN said, that before reading the report he thought it necessary to say a few words to the meet ing. The managing committee had been subjected to some odium because they had not, before that period, called a meeting of the shareholders. They had in tended to have done so in December last, but the en gineer's report had not been made out, the traffic r•-tutns had not been received, and no intimation of the Government's intention with respect to rail ways had been given to the country. They had had these now, and this was the first opportunity of calling the shareholders together. Re should now, with the leave of the meeting, read the report prepared by the directors. The CneutmAN said he could not say.—(Hisses and groans, and a cry for th e b oo k s an d d ee d s. ) Mr. COURTENAY asked to be informed of the names of the Provisional Management, the dates of their appoint ment, the number of their shares, and the time when they made their payments and signed the original deeds? —(Bravo, bravo ; we'll have no shuffling.)

" The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, the in herent privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and prevented through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. To such, among others, this Essay addresses itself; and by its perusal many questions may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even to the most confidential friend."—Stafford Gazette. '•Long experience in the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove that there are concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere routine practitioner would never dream of finding them ; traceable to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and fatal springs of domestic misery, and premature mertality."—Wakefield Journal.

THE BRITTON TESTIMONIAL. We stated some time ago that, at the suggestion of Ir. Britton, the amount subscribed was to be expended in obtaining (by competition) and printing, an essay on the study of archaeological literature. This, however, being strongly objected to, was afterwards abandoned. In the course of a correspondence on the subject, Mr. Dawson Turner suggested, that instead of an archaeolo gical essay, it should be a full history of Mr. Britton's life, as exemplified by his works. In a letter to Mr. Britton, he remarked : " In such an essay you would speak of the events of your life : of your friends and patrons, now most of th.m dead ; of the artists y ou employed ; of the emi nent persons you were br ou g ht in the way of, and of the difficulties, pleasures, and annoyances that attended, soothed, and embittered your career ; and you would intersperse the narrative with a thousand anec d otes. You may thus make a charming book of materials that would otherwise perish with you, and would do invalu able good in your generation by the example you would hold out." The committee concurring in this view, Mr. Britton undertook to devote his leisure to the preparation of such a work, and to expend the amount of the subscrip tions in its printing and embellishment. It will be accompanied by an engraved portrait of the author by Mr. C. E.Wagstaff , f rom a beautiful pigture ex pressly executed for the purpose by . Mr. John Wood, an d a selection of the engravings which have illustrated Mr. Britton's works will be appended, in order to elucidate the general style of their embel lishments. It will be printed in royal oct avo; and a few copies in demy quarto will be prepared f or the subscribers of 3/. and upwards. Copies in imperial quarto will be presented to distinguished i n di v i duals, and to the national libraries of England, France, Prussia, &c.—The Builder HERRING TRADE.—We have this week s een one of our Leith traders nearly laden with white herrings for Leith to be sent by rail to Glasgow , and t hence acros s the Channel , by steam, to Belfast. Last week a fleet of more than fifty sail left the Orkney Islands, many of them herring laden, having been detained at Stromness, St. Margaret's h o p e , an d Loughope, since October last, to the s eri ous loss of the o wners of ships and cargoes. Several Nick curers, who have herring stores in Ireland, have not had a sin gle barrel to supply their customers with for w eeks p ast, an d they wou ld gladly have resorted to any re ad y means of conveyance, if wain their reach, at even a considerab. e advance in charge. 'We have had herring lad en vessels fr om this port, ere now, lying six months in the Orkne y Islands, wa i t i ng ' fair winds, and having, in consequence, lost the chance of sales fora year ; and the shippers netting, in the following about season, the price of the empty barrel for the barrel of fish, or one-sixth its value.—John o' Groat Journal.
