The Committee of the above Company having observed an ad vertisement Issued by the Secretary of the " Nottingham, Mansfield,, and Midlands Junction Railway Company," have felt it their duty to call for explanations from their Solicitors and Parliamentary Agent (upon the faith of whose previous report to them they decided upon the forms of their Letters of Allotment, and advertisement). The following is the reply they have received, which Is so conclusive that no observations upon It can be necessary : " To the Committee of the Sheffield, Nottingham, and London Direct Railway. " Gentlemen,—ln reply to the inquiries you have addressed to us, with reference to an advertisement signed by the Secretary of the Nottingham, Mansfield, and Midlands Junction Railway Company, we beg to state that the following were the only lines competing with your line from Nottingham to Chesterfield : "1. The Midland Counties. • " 2. The Nottingham, Mansfield, and Midlands Junction Company. " The first of these is stated to be withdrawn, for the present session. . " The second (the Company by whom the above-mentioned adver tisement was issued) did not complete the deposit of their Plans until the Ist of December, and are therefore not in a condition to go to Parliament The London and Nottingham Railway Company, which in some degree competed with your line, have not deposited the Plans and Sections in the Private Bill Office. " As, under these circumstances, there is n) line which can com pete with you, in the present session, between Nottingham and Chesterfield, and, as we are happy to assure you, that in the case of the Sheffield, Nottingham, and London Direct Railway (Nottingham to Chesterfield), the standing orders have in every case been most strictly complied with, we trust it is unnecessary we should say more to prove how utterly unfounded are the statements advanced in the advertisement of the Nottingham, Mansfield, and Midlands Junction Company.

The objects of this Association are twofold—the Insurance of Ships and the Advancing of Money by way of Loan, secured by mortgage on shipping. Each branch affords its own share of individual profit ; but the two operations, judiciously combined, will evidently be pro ductive of highly remunerative results to the proprietary. The Immense fortunes known to have been realised by individuals who have advanced money upon the security of shipping, with an assignment of the policy of assurance, afford the best guarantee of the soundness of the principle upon which the Association is founded. The almost incredible number of British shipping under mortgage, shown by the books of the Registrar-General of Customs, exhibits a wide field for the operations of the Association. The great balk, if not all of these loans, have been obtained upon exorbitant terms by the small owner from his more wealthy neighbour, who may look rather to the obtaining possession of the vessel by foreclosure than to the eligibility of the security as an investment. The Association will advance a sum of money, in no case exceed ing two-thirds of the vessel's value, upon the report of its surveyors ; which loan shall be secured by mortgage upon the whole ship and earnings by freight, the policy of insurance effected with the Asso ciation remaining in its hands until the termination of the period for which the loan has been granted. Among the many advantages It holds out, the following are not he least:— To the Shipowner, the certainty of obtaining, at a m o d era t e ra te, and without injary to his credit, pecuniary assi s t ance when he most requires it. The opportunity of relieving himself from mortgagee bearing an exorbitant interest, and effecting them with the Association at an equitable rate. _ _ , To the Shipbuilder, particularly when building far the market, either at home or in our colonies, by placing him in a position less dependent upon immediate sale at an unfavourable season. To both, a participation in the profits of the Association by be crming shareholders. ____ The - Association embodies the following advantages for its Pro prietary : The immediate certainty of securing a very large number of poli cies of insurance, since, although insurances will be taken without loans, no loan will be granted unless the policy be effected with the Association ; hence the double profit which will arise from these two sources. A total absence of risk to the shareholders. It may be added that an extensive connexion has been already formed in the leading outports, and Insurance business to a large amount secured for the Association. The same machinery sufficing for the working of the double prin ciple here exhibited, the expenses of management will not exceed those of any ordinary marine insurance -office. The necessary Parliamentary notices for an Act of Incorporation have been duly given in the Gazettes of November, 1845. The whole sum required for the preliminary expenses has been advanced by the London members of the Committee of Management. Applications for shares, in the usual form, may be made to the Committee of Management, and addressed to any of the above-named officers of the Association, to the solictors, or to any of the following agents, hose whom more detailed prospectuses may be had :—Wm. Cafferata, Esq., Exahange-buildings, Liverpool; Messrs. Flint and Tootal, Hull; Messrs. Drewry and liichardsoa, Newcastle-on• Tyne ; Robert W. Ogilvie, Esq., Newcastle-on-Tyne; W. J.

AMSTERDAM, JAN. 13.—The Antwerp Journal, re ceived today, informs us that the Belgian Government has replied to the reprisals of our Government by new reprisals. Thus one folly leads to another, and it is im possible to forsee whither the first step will lead to. AMSTERDAM, JAN. 12.—We learn that the Govern ment has resolved, before extending its measures of re prisal against Belgium to our East India possessions, to wait for the representations that may be made by the Government of that kingdom. THE HAGUE, Jan. 14.—The Amsterdam Handelsblad, con!ains a series of articles under the head of" Reprisals, " and differential duties, i n w hi c h i t severely blames the measures of the Dutch Government in increasing the duties on certain articles, chiefly of Belgian produce. The Journal de la Haye, on the other hand, has several articles justifying the measures of the Government, and quoting, in confirmation of its opinions, the remarks of some Belgian journals, for instance, the Observateur Beige, which says , " Let us not be too angry ; Holland confines itself to applying to us, the famous system so much vaunted by us, by which we were to bring all the commercial nations of the globe to our feet ; the decree of the sth of January, is a copy of the famous ordi nance of 1844, Mr. Nothomb thought to force the Prussian Cabinet.

We understand that a column is to be erected on a height in Tredegar Park, and that sub scriptions for this purpose are being received from all quarters of the kingdom. The name of Sir Charles Morgan is gene rally and properly associated with Wales, from his ancient lineage, his great liberality, his national character, and his residence and property in the Principality; but it is also highly valued by the agriculturists of Great Britain, who are naturally anxious to record their esteem for so muni ficent and consistent a supporter of the art on which the wel fare of this kingdom so much depends. The subscription list was only opened this week, and several hundreds were sub • scribed at the meeting by gentlemen of the most opposite opinions on all other subject. Sir Benjamin Hall, of Llan over, was elected chairman of the committee, and has sub scribed a hundred guineas and given the stone, and it is ex pected the works will be commenced this autumn. His Grace the Duke of Beaufort, Lord James Stuart, Lord Granville Somerset, and about forty other noblemen and gentlemen of England and Wales, who are either personal friends of the venerable Baronet, or attached to him on public grounds, as having been through a long life a general benefactor to his own district in every way, and to agriculture generally, are on the honorary committee for carrying out this mark of public esteem.—From a Correspondent.

It Is unnecessary in this Prospectus, to enlarge upon the advan tages of Life Assurance, or its adaptation to most of the exigencies and relations in life. These benefits have been so extensively pub lished, that they are already well understood and appreciated. This Company is formed for granting every description of Life Assurance, Annuity, and Endowment; Loans either for long or short periods to persons effecting Assurances, upon receiving satis factory security for the payment of premium and interest, and the repayment of the principal, by instalments or otherwise, as may be agreed ; also for the purchase of Reversionary Interests, Policies of Assurance, and every other description of property. Persons borrowing money of the Company, upon approved se curity, and effecting a policy of Assurance for the amount bor rowed, will not be called upon for the repayment of the loan, so long as the interest and premium are regularly paid. Thus a party borrowing 1,0001. upon security of his estate, and an assignment of a policy on his life, would at his decease leave his estate unencum bered, the sum assured being applied by the Company to repay its advance. The premiums are based upon data derived from the most recent and authentic sources, presenting a moderate and equitably•adjusted scale. One of the principal objects of the Company is to asshnilate its benefits as nearly as possible to those of Mutual Assurance Societies, with the additional security of a subscribed capital. With this v ew, four-fifths of the profits, arising from Policies affected by parties on the terms of participation, will be divided every three years, after the first five years, among those who assure for the whole term of life. The sum so divided among the Assured to be applied to the reduction of the annual premium, or added to the sum assured as bonus, or paid in present value, at the option of the Assured. For persons who may wish to assure for short periods, or for the whole of life, without participation in the profits, a scale has been adopted, which is as moderate as it can be rendered consistently with the interests of the Company. Parties may also effect the assurance by payment of one-half only of the premiums for a stipulated term of years—the interest upon the unpaid portion of the premiums, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, being annually paid in advance. Upon payment of the arrear of the premiums, the Assured will be entitled to a full parti cipation of the profits. The Assured may at all times borrow an amount equal to the value of the policy, on its security. . _ In all the transactions of the Company the utmost liberality will be exercised. Life Assurances will be effected with all the advantages to the assured afforded by the most respectable established companies. A Table of Premiums will shortly be published. TONTINE ANNUITIES.

Edited by Sir Harris Nicolas. Vol. s.—The present volume of this valuable national work is in some respects more interesting than the preceding ones, on account of the selections that have been made from Nelson's private correspondence, including that with Lady Hamilton. No part of the editor's task, we are told, has been so diffi cult as to decide upon the course which ho ought to fol low with respect to the latter. It was his original inten. tion to omit it altogether, " but this was found inexpe dient, because, after the separation from Lady Nelson, this correspondence describes Nelson's private feelings more fully and more naturally than any of his other let ters." The private letters in this volume are chiefly ad dressed to the Duke of Clarence, Lord St. Vincent, Mr. Addington, Lord Minto, Sir Alexander Ball, Lady Ha milton, Mr. Davison, his brother, De. Nelson, and his daughter. They are full of deeply interesting passages which reveal the man, as his public correspondence does the hero and commander. His public letters and dis patches to the British Minister at Naples, the Turkish Government, the Barbary Powers, t - ,e British Ambas sador at Constantinople, the Dey of Algiers, the Secre tary at War, the Admiralty, &c., evince the extraordi nary activity of his mind, the energy of his character, and the noble zeal which always animated him whenever and wherever the glory and interest of England were concerned.—John Bull. NEW WORKS AT THE POST OFFICE.—In order to obtain additional accommodation at the Post-office, St. Martin's-le•Graml, two new rooms, of large size, have been formed for letter-sorters over a part of the present building, under the direction of Mr. Sydney Smirke. As the span is considerable, and it was desirable to occupy as little space with the floor as possible, a series of iron arches has been introduced, to support at the same time the roof and (by means ofsuspending rods) the timbers of the floor. The construction being novel and ingenious, we shall shortly illustrate it in detail.— The B u ild e r. BURKE'S PEERAGE AND BARONETAGR FOR 1846. —This work has long maintained it , : ground as the best Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Peerage and Baronetage of the British Empire, and as the fi st authority on all questions affecting the aristocracy. A new edition has just been published, with many improve ' ments and additions. The con idential communications which have been m ide to Mr Burke from the most distinguished families, in consequence of the great estimation in which his labours are held, have still further tended to render his work unique of its kind, and an indispensable adjunct to every library in the kingdom. PETERBOROUGH.-We understand that the "re spectable minority" are fully determined to have their share in the nomination of a representative fur Peter borough, and that active steps are taking for this pur -1 pose. M. D. Hill, Esq., is expected to keep himself in readiness when called upon ; his political creed is said to be " not of the ultra-Radical kind, though he will support the ballot, household suffrage, and the abolition of the corn-laws." Mr. Whitwell, a highly respectable chemist and druggist, is expected to be the chairman of Mr. Hill's committee, seeing he has taken the most active ' steps in putting an end to the nomination by a Peer, being determined no longer to submit to dictation, let it come from what quarter it may.—Shit ford Mercury. The Marquis of Anglesea arrived in town last evening. The Marchioness is at present staying at Bath. THE NEW BRITISH IRON COMPANY. —At a general meeting of the Company, held yesterday at the offices in New Broad-street, at which were present Sir George Larpeut, R. Ricardo, Esq., J. Ravenshaw, Esq., ajor-General M'lnnes, Horsley- Palmer, Esq., &c. ; the net profits of the year were announced to be 53,000/., out of which a dividend of 2/. per share was declared, besides setting aside 15 000/. as a reserve fund. Several of the prop r i e t ors present ,expressed themselves highly gratified with th e results of the year,and on the motion of Mr. Hitchi ns , 1 , 0 00/. was voted to the Directors for their valuable services ; and on the mo ti on o f Mr. Horsley Palmer, a vote of thanks was passed to Sir George Larpent for his val ua bl e services, and in particular for having introduced int o , an d carried tbrough, Parliament the Company's Bill, --- MELANCHOLY CI RCUMSTANCE.—The smack John George, of Bridgwater, Gulliford, master, laden with coals from Cardiff, in coming up the Bridgwater river, too early on tide, on Wednesday night, touched on the Cut Sand, and capsized immediately, and the result was four persons met a watery grave.—Taunton Couri.T. It is our painful duty to record the sudden demise of the Rev. John West, Rector of the contiguous parishes of Chettle and Farnham, Dorset. This much-lamented gentle man has been for many years known to the public as a staunch advocate for ameliorating the condition and educat ing the lost tribe called "Gipsies," and at the present time there is in process of erection a school at Farnham, Dorset, to be devoted expressly to the children of that race.— Taunton Courier. I c ~.„.7/ - - k 7 /--- - e' / ---P--7-1--r while the billows, "like pawing horses beat upon the sand," and the " bosom throes" of the disparted lovers afford a premonition of the luckless destiny of each, and prelude like a symphony of sweet music the anguish of the catastrophe, the tropes and figures which the narrator summonses to his aid impress the incidents upon the imagination with a singular and startling truthfulness. When Leander has aban doned himself to the bosom of " that cold divorcer," the Hellespont—.vhen —" with deep sighs he blows away the wave That hangs superfluous tears upon his cheek;"— when the deathful but amorous syren breaks up through the blue water until "he jars against her glossy skin"—when his form is girdled by her arms, and " Under the ponderous sea his body dips, While Hero's name dies bubbling on his lips " when the billows have bleached the bloom upon his countenance into cold marble, " And o'er his steadfast cheek a furrow'd pain Hath set, and stiffen'd like a storm in ice"— when the lamentation of the sea- nymph has ceased, and she carries him again into the sunlight, herself "shuddering off the beaded wave"—when at length, in the intense abandonment and torment of her sorrow, she vanishes " Under the deep, inscrutable —and there Weeps in a midnight made by her own hair"— when these, among a swarm of similar beauties, have slid like " rose-tipp'd avalanches" into the dream valley of our soul, we are then in some degree capacitated *to pronounce our affection for poor Hood as a prince among the princes of the higher walks in literature. His " Plea for the Midsummer Fairies," filled with elfin delicacies of fancy—his " Lycus the Centaur," that twin-brother of "Lamia"—his "Haunted House," that extrava gant assemblage of desolate and forlorn ideas—his " Dream of Eugene Aram," nerved and sinewed with remorse in every syllable—his " Song of the Shirt," one among the immortal English ballads--all com bine together as appeals for our love, our sympathy, and our reverence of the tender and joyous, though powerful and pensive, spirit, who has so recently de.. parted from amongst us. But that those most ex quisite stanzas, written shortly before his demise, are now familiar to the " mass," we would transfer them to our columns, breathing, as they do, more of the pre science, and more of the gracefulness than that ex pressed in poor Tom Ingokhby's last verses, " As I lay a-thynking, a-thynking, a-thynking." Here, how • ever, is a fragment, noble in the simplicity of a proud and wounded heart. It is "To a False Friend :'— " Our hands have met, but not our hearts ; Our hands will never meet again. Friends if we have ever been, Fl iends we cannot now remain ; I only know I loved you once, I only know I loved in vain ; Our hands have met, but not our hearts; Our hands will never meet again ! Then farewell to heart and hand I would our hands had never met : Even the outward form of love Must be resigned with some regret. Friends we still might seem to be. If my wrong could e'er forget Our hands have joined, but not our hearts : I would our hands had,never met." For poetry at once of intellect and sentiment, of the head and of the heart, we know nothing that blends them together more intimately. The two volumes are delicious bijoux ; they are a c om p an i on to Moxon's editi on of Keats, and their contents vie with that illustrious poet in many of his subtler and more brilliant qualities. CURIOUS APPEAL AGAINST A GAME CONVICTION. At the Berkshire Quarter Sessions, on Wednesday, Thomas Goodlake, Esq., the senior magistrate of the county, appealed against a conviction under the game laws, in which case Mr. Palmer was respondent. Much interest was excited from the peculiarity of the case, and the reading of the conviction, especially that part direct ing a week's imprisonment in default of payment of the fine, caused some merriment. Mr. Goodlake had been convicted of trespassing in pursuit of game on land at Letcomb, belonging to Mr. Palmer. In the month l o l f September last Mr. Palmer, jun., invited Mr. R. farm om e- b longing to and occupied by his father e Mr. Kirnber They also had the permission bounds, and so chance and fined to go updon that te they ym Kent out by of him ; but it ipassed through a plantation which, .th,oovEuesgrgehd.,btehhaetigln: to Mr. Kimber's landlord, was not in his occupation.

Mr. Goodlake had called Mr. Wasbrough when before Mr. Wroughton, in support of his plea that he was not in search or pursuit of game, but Mr. Was brough could not say that he was aware, when passing through the field of Mr. Palmer, that they were not.. Mr. Bros, who was opposed to the appellant, said Mr. Goodlake much regretted appealing against the decision of a magistrate of the same bench as himself, and towards whom he entertained the highest regard, but his wish was to refute the assumption that the object of the tres pass was that of searching for game. Mr. Wasbrough'a confession might be good against himself, but he could not be aware of Mr. Goodlake's intention, which hu manly speaking, was only known to himself, and he de nied that such was his purpose in passing through the field. Mr. Goodlake, as an old sportsman, did not like to be convicted under the Game Act, and, however able the gentleman might be who had adjudicated upon the case, he would wish to submit it to another tribunal, and for them to hear the evidence, whatever might be their decision. He should call Fortescue, who was not exa mined at the hearing. James Fortescue said Mr. Goodlake always studionsly avoided coursing on Mr. Palmer's land. The witness admitted, however, on cross-examination, that the_ manner they crossed the field was th a t in which they did not l would do as were beatin g f or h ar es ; but beat for them ; and that there was thenothi s ng ra - t lr hswh way to have prevented them from passing from t Palmer's field. heard enough o f the Bench had The CLIAIRMAN said stubble to the Ridgway-road, and thereby avoided Mr. c f o o n r vi t c h t e io p n a . yment The respondent appliel nt, which was allowed, and of his costs by the appes the case to induce them tod 271. a Bd. they were taxed at -, • for c n :1 6 i r i m orderthe SAL y s E d pa yroerbv Zfheed,illyUßßpCplolinotera forSr.BENET FINK. v iedv, r, the public vie w o f t hi s property us to the sale, a cons id erable number of people visited it, attracted by the novelty of th e sale ~f a church by auction.

Versatility is the most puzzling characteristic in the human intellect, and nevertheless the wonder which in the abstract it would necessarily excite is somewhat deadened by its very frequent occurrence. Scarcely any literary personage of any celebrity, especially in modern times, but in some measure has given evi dence of its possession. Southey was equally vigorous in biography, and mongrel-epic, and history, and that strangest of all strange styles of composition, y'cleped the " Doctor." Shelley could dream away in his celestial dreaming; or weave u tissue of the most subtle and plausible me taphysics, or sneer the scorching sneer of a Nlephistophiles (as he bath done in his posthumoas eccentricity, " Peter Bell the Third"), with equal force of conception and equal amplitude of embodi ment. Professor Wilson, with his jovial an d h ero i c visage, and hi s " s t orm f golden hair," can look the critic, and the bard, and the scholiast, and the teller of wierd legends—esch as though he were the divinity exclusively of those several departments. But epithets are insufficient to particularise the various individuals who may be classed under this nomenclature, when Coleridge, and Byron, anti a thousand others, equally marvellous in*their different idiocyncracier, recur to our memory in a torrent of wild, and beautiful, and pleading shapes. Let us reduce these "astonishments" to a nucletis, but how ?—by naming Thomas Hood. The jester and the mover of the soul to tears—the drollest of the droll, the most touching of the pathetic—the Heraclitus, and the Petrarch—the merriest of companions, the most ea rnest of philanthropists! That he was such, behold his " Whimsicalities" and his "Bridge of Sighs ;" that he was such, revel in laughter over his perigrinations along the Rhine, weep copious floods of weepings over his advocacy of the semptress. Many pos sibly are not aware of his vast claims upon our adiniratien as a true and earnest pet; hun dreds who have lingered over that touching ballad which tended to render Punch so popular, are not acquainted with the fact that it was but a scintilla from a sun•luminary—the gash of one haut boy from an organ of many glorious and thrilling " stops." As the preface of these two volumes as sure 3 us, their publication has been undertaken " in fulfilment of his own desire ;" and correctly did he es timate his real claim upon the love and sympathy of posterity in utteringl this darling wish of his heart. With " Christabel,' and "Genevieve," and the " Pot of Basil," and " Alastor," and " Parisi na " most of these too brief but delicious p oems will 'be classed henceforth.
