The object of this Company is to construct a direct and continuous line of railway, on the narrow gauge, from Cheltenham, through Northleach, Burford, and Whitey, to Oxford, and thence, by Theme, to form a junction with the London and Birmingham Railway, at onee opening the shortest mute from those towns and the surround ing districts to the metropolis, and by means of the Oxford and Bletchley, and other lines in connexion therewith, to Bedford, Cam bridge, -Norwich, and the whole of the eastern side of the kingdom. Tile un Jertaking- is promoted by parties locally interested in the district through which the line will pass, in conjunction with the Shareholders in the Oxford, Witney, Cheltenham, and Gloucester Independent Company, who introduced a Bill into Parliament during the session which has just closed for making the line between Oxford and Cheltetnhatn, which failed upon technical objections onl , . It will be the anxious desire of the Committee to consult the wishes of the inhabitants as to the terminus and mode of approaching the town of Cheltenham, A large proportion of the capital will be subscribed by the London and North-Western Railway Company, who have also agreed to lease the line in perpetuity, at a rent equal to four and a half per cent. upon the outlay, with an equal, ivision of surplus profits. _ _ This line will reduce the distance between Cheltenham and London to 10b miles, being a saving of twenty-two miles as compared with the• present route, and the distance between Oxford and London will be shorter than by the Great Western Railway, without taking into account the saving in time arising from the more convenient position of the London Terminus at Euston -square as compared with Pad dington, which, to parties going to the City and most parts of the metropolis, may be considered as nearly equal to ten miles of rail ,ay travelling. An unbroken narrow gauge communication will also be effected by means of this line between the Docks and Port of London and those of Gloucester, and there is no doubt eventually with Bristol, an object of considerable commercial importance. Worcester, and the important district of which it forms the centre, will also be brought by this litre within the same distance of London as by any other lines sanctioned by Parliament. It having been decided by Parliament that (with some exceptions, not applying to the present case) all new lines of railway shall 11, re after be constructed on the narrow gauge, it is obvious that the traffic of the d.striets accommodated b'• the proposed line will be best deve loped by a Company in connexion with the existing narrow gauge lines, giving, at thy• same time, to the public the advantages of that competition which the Legislature have recently evinced their anxiety to establish between rival Companies. - Applications for Shares may be made, in the form given below, to the secretary, at the Temporary Offices of the Company, 29, Great 'x;enrge street, Westminster. In the allotment of Shares, a prefer-' ence will be given to parties resident on the line, or having local interest. FORM OF APPLICATION' FOR SHARES. To the Provisional Committee of the London, Oxford, and Chelten. liam Railway (provlsorially registered). Gentlemen, -1 request you will allot me shares in the above topiertticieg on the terms of the Prospectus, and I agree to accept the same or such l ess number as you shall allot to me.

" The author of this singular and talented work is a legally quali fied medical man, who has evidently had considerable experience in the treatment of the various disorders arising from the follies and frailties of early indiscretion. The engravings are an invaluable ad dition, by demonstrating the consequences of excesses, which must act as a salutary warning to youth and maturity, and by its perusal many questions may be satisfactorily replied to, that admit of no ap peal, even to the most confidential friend."—Era.

" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health Rill threescore years andten." 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 understand 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 hnnean 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 wherehY 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 rnankhui have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will he found to be in our own keeping, and happiness w ithin the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our (WIT to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally hi tu....tetvation our is in consistent svith 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.

On Gonorrhea and Gleet, exemplifying the influence of a Scrofulous or Scorbutic state of system In producing those Morbid Secretions, and showing that the true nature of their diseased action is irritative, not inflammatory.

NOTICES Oa' THE PRESS, From the Mark-lane Express.—" The work now before us will be appreciated by the professional man who is aware of the importance of distinguishing between irritative' and inflammatory' action in determining the course of treatment of disease. The author is of opinion that the symptoms of the former are frequently mistaken for the latter, sometimes even by experienced practitioners. Mr. Franks does not content himself with asserting the fact, but pro ceeds to show, by argument and demonstration, which appears to us conclusive, that the p,sition he assumes is correct. Having carefully perused Mr. Franks's book, we can state with confidence, that it ought to be read by every man, inasmuch as the information it con tains may not only afford relief to the mind upon the appearance of symptoms which are not really indicative of the disease supposed, but may he the means of guarding the patient against the practices of the unskilful and the empiric." From Bell's Life in London.—" We recommend this little treatise to those who, suffering under deserved penalties, wish to pay them off as speedily and safely as possible, without having recourse to the ruinous banks founded by manslaughtering quacks." From the Londdn Mercantile Journal.—" Mr. Franks Is evidently an original thinker, and follows not the path of his predecessors in treating the subject upon which he has written. There is a vast amount of truth in his book. It is ignorance which often causes un happiness in the married state, and such a work as this may be the means of displacing many of those serious heart-burnings and jea lousies which sever the peace of families."

' cipal body of light being from three circular chande liers suspended from the roof. The apdearance of this building just before the dinner commenced was magnifi cent. Every variety of solids covered the table—game being abundantly prominent ' • while of liquids there were upwards of a th ousan d bottles of punch and a thousand pints of Sherry; the charge for the whole being but half-a-guinea ! The chair was occupied by the President of the Society, the Duke of Montrose, supported on the right by the Earl of Cawdor, the Earl of Egmont (President of the Royal Agricultural Society of England), Lord Berridale, the Provost of Inverness ; and on the left by the Earl of Leicester, Lord Lovat, the Hon. George Stuart, (soa of the Earl of Moray), Mr. M'Plierson Grant, jun., of Ballindalloch, Major Cumming Bruce, and the Rev. Alexander Clark. The Earl of Selkirk was vice-chairman, supported by Lord Emlyn, Lord William Thynne, Mr. Henry Baillie, M.P., and Mr. Mackenzie, of Applecress. Am o n gs t th e p r i nc ip a l guests we bserved Sir James J. R. Mackenzie, of Scat well, Sir William Cumming, the Mackintosh, Mr. Mathe son, of Auchany, M.P., &c. Theta were about a thou sand present, and the whole appointments of the dinner were of the first excellence. The CHAIRMAN having proposed the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, called on the meeting to charge a bumper to the toast of the evening, " the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland." In proposing this toast the Noble Duke said—Tne presence of so large a number of the members and friends of the Society tE stifled how much they vi ere alive to the advantages which the institution was calculated to confer on the in terests of agriculture. The Highland and Agricultural Society had now been established for upwards of fifty years; though small in its beginning, it had gradually enlarged itself until it bad at length come to enjoy the confidence, the support, and approbation of all classes of the community, and become the parent of many other societies in different parts of the kingdom. And whe ther they looked to it as instrumental for encouraging the cultivation of the soil or the improvement of stock, it was alike entitled to their approbation.— (Cheers.) That institution had not only been the means of im proving agriculture in, Scotland, lout also stimulating the proprietors and farmers in England, and now the sister kingdom Ireland had an agricultural association of its own. He trusted that the success which had attended their past efforts would not lead them to relax their energies in future. No. one who had witnessed the show that day could fail to perceive that, while there was much to rejoice over, there was room for improvement, and he hoped that they would never rest contented in their good work so long as there was stock to improve, until every animal was equal to those that got the prises.—(Cheers.) One thing he would especially press on the consideration of farmers and all present—the necessity of bringing the science of chemistry to bear on the science of agriculture. The science of machinery had done much, and though the show of implements had been greatly deficient, as com pared with similar shows in some other places, yet all must admit that the show of local stock had been as much improved as might well compensate for any regret which the paucity of mechanical display might occasion. The judges bad commissioned him to say' that the show of Highland cattle had excelled everything of the kind that had hitherto been produced, and he felt assured that this would encourage them to persevere in every field of improvement until the highest point of perfection was gained.—(Cheers.) The Earl of CAWDOIt, in very complimentary terms, proposed the health of the Duke of Montrose. This toast was drunk with what are called "Highland honours," which means that the company shall stand with une foot on the chair and the other on the table, and quaffing their glass, give " Neish, neisb, neish," in stead of " Hip, hip, hurrah," the band striking up tome stirring air. The scene on this occasion was highly characteristic, and could only be appreciated by th• clans. Several other personal and complimentary toasts having been given, The CHAIRMAN proposed " The Royal Agricultural Societies of England and Ireland," coupling with the toast the Earl of Egmont, as representing the English Association. The chairman said it was gratifying to think that they had got two such very fine children as the English Agricultural Association and the Irish Agricul tural Society, both 0 t which had grown rapidlyq and promised to become yet more prosperous. They were not jealous of this prosperity, they rejoiced that their image had in these institutions been so faithfully repre sented, and he trusted that the success which had of late been so remarkably characteristic of the English so ciety, would induce the society of Scotland to renew the efforts she had been making for the promotion of agricultural improvements in every part of the land. Lord EGMONT acknowledged 'the toast. The Royal Agricultural Society of England would always be most to tread in the steps of the Agriculi',:ral Society or Scotland, and do all its power tt.i . carry out the improvements which had been so succrsgfully begun. This was the first time he had been to the Highlands of Scotland. Everything he had seen far exceeded his ex pectation. The scenery was delightful, and the show he had witnessed made him look forward to the exhibi tion of the Royal Agricultural Society of England next year at Northampton with some degree of anxiety. With regard to the stock exhibited that day, he must state that the show of horses very much exceeded that at Newcastle; but he did not think that in horned cattle the Highland Society had the advantage.—(Hear.) He would beg to propose a toast which had been entrusted to his care. Since he had been in this country he had seen as much of the intelligence, the industry, the skill and unwearied perseverance of the tenant-farmer as had convinced him that to that class Scotland was mainly indebted for the singular success which had distinguished her agricultural career. The industry and appli:ation of the small farmers of Scotland were truly astonishing, and to their success they were much indebted for the important position which this society had now attained. It had been whispered that, owing to circumstances which he would not name, the members of their societies would decrease in numbers. He did not believe this. He did not fear it, and he did hope that, come what would, the tenant-farmers would stand by such associa tions, and give them their united support. He begged to propose " The health of the tenant-farmers."—(Cheers.) Mr. ATcmsorr, of Menzies, returned thanks. Refer ence had been made to " recent circumstances," and a hope expressed that the tenant-farmers would stand fast to the association. For himself he had nothing to fear, and if recent circumstances would but teach the landlord that unity between the proprietor and his tenant is the best bond of mutual prosperity, they will have accom plished a great good.—(Cheers) He hoped he might remind those noblemen and gentlemen who referred to recent circumstances, that the farmers of this country must not now look to law-makers, but to lease givers, far that legitimate support which would enable them to carry out the improvements which would enable this country to compete with the productions of a more con genial clime; and if this fact were realised in the spirit of mutual confidence, Scotland would yet be the pride and envy of surrounding nations and the admiration of the world. ANNUAL MEETING of the HIGH LAND AND AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF SCOTLAND, SECOND DAY. INVERNESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—At eleven o'clock this morning the gates of the show-yard were thrown open, and soon after a large concourse of people had assembled to witness the show. At one o'clock the charge of admission was reduced from 2s. O. to is. each, and then there was a rtish ar.d a scramble around the principal entrances, which would have done no discredit to a Donnybrook fair. By three o'clock upwards of five thousand persons were on the show-ground, amongst whom we observed the principal landed proprietors of the district, accompanied, in most cases, by their fami lies and friends. The Duke of Richmond was absent from indisposition. _ _ _ The show-ground occupies about ten acres of land, and so simple and perfect were the arrangements, that although nearly a thousand animals of one kind and another were exhibited, some of them restive or rest less enough, not the slightest accident occurred. In one instance the visitors got a fright. The extra stock of West Highland oxen were enclosed in a square of tempo rary barracades. One of the animals accidentally dis placed a portion of the planking, and finding himself un expectedly at liberty showed every disposition to escape from the yoke. He plunged this way and that way, now tearing the grass with his fine horns, and now tossing his head in the air, until at length his keeper coolly seized him behind the ear, and walked him quietly to his stall. Van Amburgh has not more command over his lions than these Highland keepers have over their wild and roaming bullocks and steeds. The first class of cattle exhibited comprised upwards of a hundred animals of the West Highland breed; the second about forty short horned cattle; the third about eighty of the Aberdeen, Angus, and Galloway polled breeds; and the rest a great variety of crosses from every part of the country. The West Highlanders were con sidered to be the best display of native stock which has ever been shown. The short horns decidedly improved; while the oxen, without being burdened with flesh or fat, were yet all that a good beef-eater could wish to enj oy. The " porkers" were first-rate; the Cheviots superior to anything of the kind hitherto seen in the north; the black-faced sheep were greatly admired—some of the best judges declaring that the prize stock could not be excelled. The show of horses was pronounced superior to that of any of the previous exhibitions, bone, muscle, symmetry, and strengsh being " points" observable and appreciated even by the uninitiated. Here the genuine breed of native Highland ponies was seen to perfection, and wild and shaggy as their native hills did some of them appear. The prizes were carried chiefly by the stock of prac tical farmers. This is rather a new feature at such ex hibitions. Formerly those who could afford to pamper their animals until they could neither walk nor .‘ waddle" were sure of premiums; while the practical breeder, who looked more to symmetry and form, however good his sirloins might be, found that he was not adjudged a prize. Now nature is more the standard of judgment, and the peasant and the lord compete on equal terms. There is room yet for insprovement in other respects. The bull which carried the first prize, for example, though a noble animal, having previously taken first prizes both at the great agricultural shows of England and Ireland, it was argued should not have been put in competition with the bulls to-day, but exhibited as extra• stock. While this would not have detracted from his merit:, it would have left the palm open for less popular, but perhaps equally usetul animals. While the show of stock was attracting the attention of some, the show of female beauty in th e l a di es ' gal lery was engaging the affection of others. This gallery was erected in a conspicuous part of the yard, and was filled by elegantly-dressed ladies, who were thus set apart to view the prize animals as they passed over a platform before the stand. A . t three o'cl oc k thi s per formance ccentneneed, and if it lacked the excitement or of the tilt or the race ground, it possessed the more sub stantial gratification of a" walk over," and no one felt disposed to dispute the awards. THE DINNER. At six o'clock the dinner party met in th e spl en did pavilion erected for the occasion. This building is con structed of deal timber, and me asures a hundred feet square. On the west side is the platform for the chair man and his supporters, elevated somewhat above the floor, and tastefully fitted . up; the b ac k ground i s covered with crimson. cloth with tartan curtains, while the breastwork displayed an endless variety of the "garbs of old Gaul." Gas having been introduced, four ele gant standard lustres surmounted the f ront bench, while the table fur the president and principal guests was co vered with finely bleached cloth. The plgsform fi r the vice.president and his support ers was placed immediately opposite the chaire and was furnished with similar ap pointments.

FALMOUTH, SEPT. s.—This place has been one con tinued scene of bustle, excitement, and pleasure for the entire of the week. On Monday the Royal Cornwall Regatta came off; and on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, the annual exhibition of the Royal Cornwell Polytechnic Society to k place, each bringing to the town and neighbourhood a great influx of company from all quarters. Very interesting as both these objects have proved in themselves to one and all, they have fallen short of the still greater excitement caused by the arrival of h( r Majesty last evening in the Victoria and Albert yacht, accompanied by the Black Eagle, Gar land, and Fairy steam vessels. Sudden as was the event, it was not altogether unexpected, owing to two Government tuesseegers having reached the Royal Hotel early in the morning, which, coupled with the in formation contained in the London papers of the Queen's departure from Osborne House on Wednesday for Jersey , and the westward, led the inhabitants to conclude an im mediate second visit. Preparations were hastily made to give her Majesty as welcome a reception as possible, and on the vessels making their appearance at about half-past six last evening, a royal salute was fired from the garrison of Pendennis and from her Majesty's packet Crane, the only man-of-war in port. _ On anchor ing in the roads the Mayor and corporation of the town, attended by the sergeants-at-mace, embarked in a barge prepared fir the occasion, and were soon alongside the royal yacht, at that time surrounded by an immense fleet of cutters, pilot sloops, pleasure and row boats, amounting to more than 200, the parties in which were most loyal in, their acclamations of welcome by cheers, &c. The Mayor (Mr. W. R. Broad) was immediately admitted on board, and presented, through the Lord Chamberlain (Earl Spencer), an appropriate address from the corporate body to her Majesty, who being then at dinner, was prevented from receiving the coun cil in person. The Mayor called again on board the Victoria and Albert, at half-past seven o'clock this morn*, and after an interview with Prince Albert and Lord A. Fitaclarence (prior to the yacht getting under weigh for Tenzance), he proceeded in his boat to Truro personally to confer with the Mayor of that town touching the measures to be adopted on Monday next. According to arrangement the squadron left at 8 A.M. for Mount's Bay and the Scilly Isles, with an in tention of returning here to-morrow evening, and calling on Monday; on which day a pilot has been ordered to take the Fairy up the River Fel, as far as Tregothaan, the seat of the Earl of Falmouth, when the barge will convey the illustrious party to Truro, where the inha bitants are making great preparations to give them a splendid reception. On their return, the Prince pro poses honouring the Polytechnic Hall with his presence, and will afterwards go to the United Mines in Gwennap, about eight miles distant from this. On leaving the harbour under the proper salutes the steamers skirted the western bay, and as the weather keeps remarkably fine, her Majesty and family are likely to be much grati fied with their Land's-End cruise. Our town was par tially illuminated last night, and fireworks, balloons, and torches were pressed into the service. The squadron arrived here, after a passage of eleven hours, from Jersey. The Crane packet, for the Brazils, is detained until Wednesday, the 9th instant. DINNER TO MR. COBDEN AT BORDEAUX. RAILWAY SU IRE MARKETS.

Stoes ExcnatenE.t rate of discount by the Bank of England has not had the anticipated effect of advancing Prices ; there was a considerable increase in the amount of business for a few days, but beyond that the effect has not been material. The trade is pretty steady, but in the absence of any strong demand, prices are flat, but not bad. An unfavourable financial statement being anticipated at the coming meeting of the Manchester and Leeds Company, the stock is lower, and the feeling gains ground that if the old line cannot maintain its dividends, the prospects of Han union lines are not very flattering. Leeds, Wakefield, and Mid lands have been a little hi demand, owing to some rumours of a pre. posed arrangement between thennand the Midland Company.

The banquet given to Mr. Cobden by the Libre- Echangistes of Bordeaux took place on the Ist instant, in the Salle Francklin, which was fitted up for the occa sion with great taste and elegance. At seven o'clock upwards of three hundred guests took their seats at the tables. The chair was taken by M. Duffour Dubergier, having on his right hand the guest of the even 7 ng, Mr. Cobden. At the same table were seated Baron Sers, Peer of France and Prefect of the Gironde; M. Roullet, First President of the Cour Royale; M. Dosquet, Secre tary-General of the Prefecture; and M. Durin, one of the Vice-Presidents of the Society of Libres-Echan gistes. The galleries were filled with elegantly dressed ladies, and the whole salle presented a most striking and animated scene. At the dessert the Mayor proposed the health of the King—of that King, he said, to whom France and the world were indebted for the enjoyment of peace, and under whose reign the commerce and in dustry of the country had developed itself, and the wel fare of every one had been promoted. The toast was drunk with the loudest acclamations, and was followed by another to the Queen and the Royal Family, which was received with equally loud demonstrations of loyalty and devotedness. At last the health of the hero of the day was proposed amidst the greatest enthusiasm. Mr. COBDEN then rose to return thanks. The Hon. Gentleman commenced by expressing his sense of the very flattering manner in which he had been received at ,Bordeaux. He should, in the-low remarks which he proposed mpting, -use the same reserve that he had em ployed before the free-traders of Paris. He semeed to breathe a &cella- in that atmosphere of freedom of com merce. In the midst of men participating in his com mercial creed the soul appeared to dilate, and man's energy to acquire a new vigour. Free trade was a principle of expansion, whilst, on the other hand, mono poly was an attempt to confine within narrow limits the energy of men, and subject them to make superflous efforts in order to acquire the ease and the comforts of life. " If," continued the Hon. Gentleman, " I wanted to express in two words the tendency f these two opposing principles, I should say that free trade is asso ciation, and that monopoly is competition. There is an argument now much used in Frame, to which I must re fer. It is said that the English free-traders maintained protection as long as it was necessary to them, and now abandoned it when they found it advantageous to do without ; to that I reply that in England we have made the application of our principles to that article of our produce which had most to apprehend from a foreign competition, namely, corn. Let me be permitted to affirm that persons are com pletely mistaken if they believe that our good friends of the protectionist school in England abandoned their principles for such a motive. Far from that, they are protectionists to the very marrow, and they continue bravely to maintain that our country will be ruined if the good old regime of protection does not return. I have, perhaps, some right to speak in the name of the free traders with so:erne authority, and I can declare that far from thinking that commercial restrictions have ever been necessary tb England, we are convinced that they have always been prejudicial to her. We do not admit that our manufactures, our agriculture, and merchant shipping ever reaped any advantage from what is called protection. Nay, we believe that they would have been more flourishing without it. But to destroy every suspicion which may have arisen relating to any pretended ariierepensee attributed to our free-traders, I shall be more explicit. Let it be, then, known that their con scientious opinion is that at no time, under any circum stances, can a nation become enriched by the interference of its Government by means of restrictive laws. We wish it to be distinctly understood that we apply this maxim without reserve to every country, to every circum stance, and to every age. Whatever may be the condition of a country, we maintain that free trade is better than restriction. Show me any point on the sur face of the globe, whether it be of a fertility as un limited as that of Egypt, or a barren rock like Malta— let it be placed under the tropical sun, or near the pole —I think I can demonstrate that it is to the interest of the inhabitants to keep up the most unrestricted com munication with their brethren spread over the earth. But has not this verity been already demonstrated by all great political writers, by Adam Smith in England, Say in France, Storch in Russia, and other eminent writers in Italy, Spain, and Switzerland? Have they not all agreed in declaring that free trade is equally applicable to all countries, all climates, all races, and all govern ments? I have also to remark, that on another point the range and importance of the English agitation have been falsely appreciated. The repeal of the corn-laws has been represented by some persons as the sole aim of the League. That is not the case. I have one hun dred times publicly declared, in the course of our agita tion, that we were driving at a repeal of the corn-laws as a means to attain a more general and more elevated end—that we considered those laws as the keystone of the arch of monopoly, and that when once it was torn down the whole edifice must fall to the ground. A month had not elapsed after our triumph when our provisions began to be realised by the abolition of the sugar duties, and I do not fear to say that I consider this second triumph as more important than the first, re garded for its moral and social consequences, for it in volves a complete revolution in our colonial system." The Honourable Gentleman dwelt for a short time on this point, and then concluded a brilliant speech in these words:—" Gentlemen, I cannot doubt that in France free trade will*,find worthy interpreters. Without doubt some one of your eminent int n, with the eagle glance of genius, will perceive the glory which will be attached to him who carries out such principles, and will join his name to the noblest revolution of modern times. The spirit of the age calls nations to a fraternal union. Phy sical sciences, steam-boats, railways, post-office reform, are preparing the way fur it, and it is reserved for free trade to complete the fusion. Already the banner of free trade is floating victoriously over my own country, and with the aid of Providence nations will pass it on from hand to hand until the world is enveloped in its folds!" GLASWW, SEPTEMBER 5. This speech was received with thunders of applause, and after several other addresses the party separated.

The Sioux and Pawn+ es of the American prairie re c,ntly had an encounter in battle, in which the latter were defeated with a loss of 30 scalps. The Pawnees, however, were small in number, and were taken by sur prise. The first shipment of ice ever made from Boston to France was r( cenily tilibalked at the city named in the Amazon for llavre.

PRESENTATION TO COLONEL TuomPsox.--Colonel Perronet Thompson, the prime instructor of our modern free-traders, is now in Sheffield. Anticipating his visit a few of the staunch friends of commercial freedom, anxious to recognise the presence of such a man in our locality, agreed at a short notice to present him with a slight remembrance of their esteem and gratitude for his invaluable services, made at great personal sacrifice, to the cause in which they themselves have been among his disciples. The result of a conversation on the sub ject was an order to Mr. Henry Atkin silver cutler, of this town, who has produced for the occasion one of the most recherché cases of dessert cutlery we have ever seen. The case contains 18 pairs carved mother of pearl silver dessert knives and forks, 1 pair melon carvers, 2 pairs pickle knives and forks, 2 butter knives, 1 pair grape scissors, and 4 pairs nutcracks. The whole are enclosed in a splendid mahogany case, lined with blue silk velvet: on the top there is a silver shield containing the following inscription:--" To Colonel Perronet Thompson, the father of free• trade, and author of ' The Corn-law Catechism,' this case is presented, as a tribute of sincere esteem and regard, by a few of his Sheffield friends, September, 1846." The testimonial is got up in the most tasteful and workmanlike manner.— Sheffield Iris.

On Tuesday, Mrs. Thomson attended a magistrates' meeting, held in the Town-hall, and the several wit nesses were summoned for examination in her presence. The reporter of the Berwick Advertiser made an appli cation for admittance to.this examination, and was re fused. "We very much regret (says the editor of that paper) the decision of the Court on our application, but as there is no appeal we could not amend it. So far as the party suspected is concerned, publicity to the evidence could have no baneful effect, and might have been serviceable. The proceedings at these private meetings are not wholly secret from the public, and the oozing out of particles only of them, invariably the criminatory without the mitigating part, seems to us more injurious to the accused and the cause of justice than if all the evi dence were fairly reported. In support of our argument, we have only to refer to a report sup plied to the London newspapers of last week, and which must have been furnished by some one who possesses an access to the evidence which is denied the local prints. The evidence there detailed is wholly directed against the accused, and the present case must be a very singular one if some testimony has not been given which is calcu lated to qualify the evidence selected for that report. The magistrates present at the meeting of Tuesday were the same who attended the inquiry of the previous week, namely, A. Cahill and G. K. Nicholson, Esquires, and the witnesses in attendance were also the same as are reported to have given their evidence on the former oc casion. The examination occupied from one o'clock till half-past four; during that time only one of the wit nesses, Mr. Short, the senior clerk, was examined. The Court met again on Wednesday morning, at ten, and continued its sitting till half-past twelve, in the course of which, the junior clerk, R. Watson, and Margaret Hogg, the kitchen girl, were examined; after which, the sitting was adjourned till Saturday." THE FORGERY CASE AT COUTTS ' S.—CirCUMStaIICeII are stated to have transpired since the examination on Tuesday, which will put an end to all further pro ceedings. It is well know that the two officers who ap prehended the prisoner have been informed that there is no occasion, for the present, for them to make any fur ther inquiries, besides which, it is stated that no fetters have been received from the two other directors, Mr. Wetmore and Mr. Stephenson, who signed the cheque, nor have those who are now conducting the prosecution been able to communicate with them. In the event of the non-attendance of the two co-trustees and director, on Wednesday next, the case must fall to the ground, for, as Mr. Alderman Musgrove remarked, unless they repudiated the alteration or substitution of 5,0001. for 101., there was an end of the case. During the examina tion on Tuesday last, some of the parties connected with the company were speaking together, when one of the parties was heard to say that he had no doubt, before another examination, the whole of the matter would be satisfactorily explained, and that Captain Richardson would be discharged.— Weekly Chronicle.

THE LATE LORD RODNEY.—The Right 'lion. and Rev. Spencer Baron Rodney, Clerk, M.A., Fellow of All Souls College, in the University of Oxford, has, by his will, bequeathed to the warden of All Souls a legacy of 100/, to be paid to the Benefactors' Fund; leaves to three of his nieces 1,000/. each; devises his real estates to his brother, the Hon. and Rev. Henry Rodney; M.A., Prebendary of Hereford Cathedral; also leaves to him the residue of his personal property, valued for probate duty at 9,000/. His Lordship was in his 61st year, and was only presented, in 1844, by the College of All Souls, with the rectory of the Isle of Elmlcy, under their pa tronage. Robert Vaughan Richards, Esq.. Q.C., late of White hall-place, and of the Inner Temple, died possessed of personal property to the amount of 60,0001. the residue of which, after the payment of certair: legacies, and pro. viding tor annuities, he leaves to his daughter and only child, whom he has appointed his sole executrix, and de vises to her all his freeholds. Ile bequeaths his law books to his nephew, Edward Vaughan Richards, and to his nephew and godson, Robert Temple Frere, a le gacy of 5001., and a like legacy to his niece and god daughter, Catherine Richards. An annuity of 1001. to his clerk and to others ; also a liberal annuity to his coachman and to his coachman's father for their separate lives, and legacies to each of his servants. All 1::e quests free of legacy duty. This eminent barrister, though ap parently of a robust constitution, had been compelled, from ill- health, to retire from'a most extensive pi actice. He executed his will in October last, and only lived to the age of 53, having been a widower the last twenty years. The late Mrs. Elizabeth Fry, wife of Joseph Fry, Esq., of Upton, Essex, enjoyed a life interest over certain trust property, under the respective wills of her sisters, Priscilla Gurney and Rachel Gurney, with a power of disposition over the same, by deed, will, or otherwise, and of which there was remaining unappropriated, and at her disposal, a sum of 11,000/.; this she has directed to be applied for the benefit of her family, in the following manner:— The interest of 6,0001. to her husband for life, and after wards the principal to he divided equally amongst her children. To her daughter Katharine Fry, who has always lived with her, but to whom no provision has hitherto been made, she leaves the interest of 4,0001. and 2.000/. on her marriage, and the remaining 1,000/. to her son Daniel Henry Fry. The bequests are entirely con fined to the trusts under which she was empowered by the deeds of disposition. She executed her will in 1840, appointing her sons, John Gurney Fry and Joseph Fry, Jun., &-qs., executors, to whonit special l e tt e rs of admi nistration with the will was gr an t e d, t h e h us b an d con senting.
