THOMSON, Secretary. IRELAND. DUBLIN, OCT. 25.—There is little or no intelligence in the provincial papers received to-day; and, as a num ber of hands are now actually employed by the Board of Works, and measures are being taken to insure speedy and profitable labour in those districts where the demand for it is most urgent, it is to be hoped that ere long— no mischievous influences interposing—the accounts will be of a less gloomy character than they have uniformly been for the last three months. The Navan Relief Committee having memorialised the Board of Works for an increase of wages to the labourers employed by the board, received the following very proper reply : " Office of Public Works, Dublin, 04. 17. ".Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of the me morial of the board of guardians of the Navan Union, praying for an increase of wages to the labourers em ployed under the Board of Works. "And in reply I am directed to inform you, that the Board earnestly press upon the- board of guardians the advantage which will result, not only to the country, but to the labourers themselves, from the adoption of the measured work, by which alone higher wages can be ob tained, and trust they may call on the board of guardians for their aid and co-operation, and for their influence in explaining the subject to the people. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, "JOSEPH C. WALKER, Secretary. • " Henry Meredyth, Esq." Mr. O'Connell had published in the Cork Reporter a very long address to " The Steadfast Moral Force Re peelers of the City of Cork," in which he expatiates upon the advantages of moral, over physical force, and dis cusses with extreme prolixity the resolutions in favour , of " Young Ireland ' which had been carried in Cork. He thus concludes : " Fur the present, I content myself with declaring my unalterable- adhesion to the full strength, form, and pressure of - the moral-force doctrine. For two reasons : _ _ _ "First.—My thorough conviction that political in stitutions cannot be safely, wisely, or securely amelior ated by any other than moral and peaceable means. "Secondly.--That any concession now made to the . Young Ireland party (if there were to be concessions at their side, which they have not been asked for) might easily be construed by a Dublin jury into an accession to a principle involving deep guilt. " The Association, therefore, cannot concede ; and, if it could, it ought not ; leaving time to develop the fatuity and folly of those who now seek conciliation by lauding and maintaining; those who are in the wrong—nam( ly, the supporters of the physical force principle ; while they assail and vituperate those whom they admit to he in the right—the maintainers of the moral force doctrine." THE ARMY. SHIPS AND TROOPS ARRIVED IN INDIA. The Anne Armstrong, with the head-quarters of the Bth Regiment of Foot, about which some anxiety had been felt, arrived safe at Bombay, August 28. The Poictiers, with the head-quarters of the 24th Regiment, arrived at Calcutta, August 26; and the British Sovereign and Edmondsbury, with detachments of the 32d Regiment, arrived at Calcutta, the first August 22, and the second August 28, and the Duchess of Nor thumberland arrived the same day.

The Cornwall, transport, arrived at the Cape of Good Hope from Cork, en the 28th August, with the following officers and men, seventy-four days on her passage :—Cornet N. de la Cherois, and 10 men, her Majesty's 7th Dragoon Guards ; Captain Brooke, Lieu tenant Queade, Ensigns Garner, Herrick, White, and Lalor, and 112 men, of her Majesty's 12th Foot; Lieu tenants Ewart and Russel, Ensigns Ora and Blyth, and 51 men, of her Majesty's 35th Regiment ; Lieu tenant-Colonel Erskine, Ensigns Fleming and-Grantham, and 41 men, of her Majesty's 45th Regiment ; Ensign Ramsay and 41 men of her Majesty's 73d Regiment ; Ensign Minchin and 74 men of her Majesty's 95th Regi ment ; 31 men of her Majesty's 15th Regiment ; Cap tain Molina, Ceylon Rifles ; Lieutenants Gossett and Cooke;' Royal Engineers Assistant-Surgeon Millenger, Staff ; four ladies, and eleven women arid children. The drajts for the troops serving at the Cape were trans ferred to 'her Majesty's ship Apollo, for conveyance to Algoa. Bay, en route to the frontier, and the transpori was about to proceed to the Mauritius and Ceylon. Major Goodman, 27th; Major .Creagh, 87th; Brevet Major Bainbrigge, Fort Adjutant at Guernsey; Captains Hennis and Mundy, Royal Artillery, gazetted on Tues day last, the first three to the rank of lieut.-colonel, the other two to the rank of major in the army, had been in command on her Majosty's recent visit to Guernsey. A troop of the Bth Hussars, under Captain Lord Kil leep, were out in the direction of Cappoquin, and returned to.Dungarvan with twenty one prisoners, engaged in in timidating the farmers to eive up con-acre money. We (Limerick Chronicle) have been requested to state, on behalf of the gentry and other inhabitants of Killaloe, their great regret at the departure of the detachment of the 66th Regiment, stationed for the last thirteen months that place, at &tiring which period the officers and men by their 'p ea ceable, orderly, and correct conduct on all effectually gained the esteem and res p ect of all c l as s es , occasions, a single comp laint. durin g that len g th of time having never been brought e befiii - e the local a u th or i t i e s against against any one.. conne cted with this disti ngu i s hed .A detachment of the 87th Royal Irish Fusiliers, under the command of Captain Rich, marched from Pembroke to - Newcastle-Emlyn, where they are •to be stationed. A"detachment of the same regiment have also marched for Cardigan, • commanded' by Unit. Patterson. On Tuesdny the detachment which is to be station ed in Cirmarthen amounting to about 170 strong, arrived under the command of Captain Kidd.

No sooner was he perceived than Remington followed in chase of him, and finding that the party had darted into the mid dle of the office, he proceeded towards the opening tween the letter carriers' and the sorting office for the letters; but whilst there engaged, the porter found that two Other men were standing in the doorway, and b:clc-- oning him to go to them. Not knowing what to make of a circumstance of so unwatel a character, the officer returned to the ch-or, and upon questioning the newly arrived parties, they told him they were sheriff,'• officers, and that the man who had entered the office - was n party of whom they were in pursuit ; and . whO; having caught sight of them, had "bolted " into the office. While the porter was thus.engaged, the intruder rushed through the numerous body of clerks, messengers, &c., who were then busily engaged, in the dispatch of the evening mails, t' hen eventually he sud:: denly came to a stand still, as if stunned in the midst of range of sorting tables with which the office is :filled. For' a minute or so - his appearance was not noticed, but immediately afterwards one of the officers, perceiving the man did not belong to the esta blishment, requested him to leave the office. Glad of the opportunity to escape by any other way than by the one through which he had entered, he followed the messen ger to the eastern outlet of the office. opposite to the front entrance to Goldsmith's Hall, thus leaving his pur suer many yards distant from him, and in total ignorancc of his escape. The printed address stated that they were called to gether "inconsequence of the alarmingly high price of bread 'and • meat• throughout the country, the actual existence of - famine in Ireland, and apprehension cf its greater' extension during the forthcoming winter from a dearth" of" provisions, and the confession of her Majesty's Government of the necessity for national prayers to diminish or avert the consequent im pending evils which on all sides menace the United King dom." The princi pal object of the meeting, however, was to hear an address fro m M r . C oc h ra n e , of Devon shire-place, with " the earnest endeavour to create such a rr aniff station of public sympathy and anxiety for the sufferings of the poorer classes throughout the country as will lead to the Government removing, without delay, all duties on every kind of food essential to human wants." A. Ramsey,Esq., was, in th e a b se n c e o f Sir William . Bayne, appointed to the ch a i r . Mr.:COCHRANE, who was received with loud applause, then proceeded to address the meeting. At such a crisis, when bread, meat, and the common necessaries of life were at an enormous price, and the probability of the price being still greater increased, on account of the impending famine in this country and Ireland and Scot land, he considered that it was the duty of every one, however humble his abilities,,to come forward and do all in his power to alleviate it, and to explain how that alleviation might best be effected.—(Hear.) In such e state of things , the accuracy of which was left beyond doubt by the .Order of Council fbr—prayers to the Almighty to avert the impending evils of scarcity, he considered it was the duty of a Christian Minister of a free country at one stroke of the pen to open the ports and admit the products of other coun tries necessary for the sustenance of the inhabitants of this free of duty.—(Loud cheers.) Ministers were no doubt in the habit of reading " holy writ," and were no dcubt aware of the the text which said, "That those who withhold bread from the poor should be cursed." — (Cheers.) Any laws which prevented the free inter change of commodities, and which put money in the pockets of the rich at the expense of the poor, could not be otherwise than unchristian. The prayer which had been issued besought the Almighty not to allow the poor to perish from famine, and attributed the scarcity to a judgment for the sins of the people; but the people deserved great praise for their: -forbearance under scarcity and under stringent restrictive laws, instead of attributing the scarcity to their sills; for, but for those restrictive laws, there would have been abundance, instead of scarcity, and cheapness instead of dearness.—(Cheers.) But there was little necessity for the Archbishop of Can terbury to frame a prayer for the occasion when there was a prayer in their prayer-books which thanked the Almighty for bestowing the produce of the earth upon all the people of the earth, irrespective of condition. The. fluctdations in the price of wheat during a few years, from 395. to 115 s. per quarter ought to have taught Minis ters ere this to place no faith in fallacious imposts.— (Cheers.) But the poor had everbeen sacrificed to class legislation, to the rich, who were indifferent to the wants and struggles of the poor, who ground their faces to the earth, and raised the price of their bread. The poor were subjected to the influence of an unnatural poor law, which was based upon this atrocious formula—reduce the food in quantity and quality, and then so regulate out-door relief as to supersede the necessity for it at all. He then referred to the case at Peckham, where a wo man, for a small fault, had, one of her teeth knocked out. The man was tried, the Poor Man's Guardian So cif ty prosecuting, but by some means or other he was acquitted.—(Shame.) Then a case occurred in St. Giles's, where a poor man had been subjected to the harsh system pursued in that union was not allowed to have either the solicitor or secretary present at the board to defend his case.—(A voice, "That was all humbug.") Meetings would shortly be held there, and he should be happy to afford those who doubted him an opportunity of proving there that his statement was not founded in fact. The scarcity was a judgment upon the Govern ment for passing laws bearing harshly upon the poor, and a judgmenron the rich for making those laws more stringent ; and the scarcity was not a judgment, but a warning to the GOvernment, not to attempt to re gulate the-seasons, but-to afford the poor the produce of the earth at a fair rate. What a mockery it was for many of the poor of Ireland and Scotland to pray for their daily bread," when they did not taste bread from year to year.--(llear, hear, end cheers.) After defending the poor from the charge of bad conduct hich was frequently made against them, and citing the good conduct of those employed by the philanthropic, he concluded by submitting a memorial to the Lords of the Treasury, -eloquently calling upon them on account of the present distress of-the people immediately to issue an Order in Council admitting bread—the proper food of man, and not potatoes—into this country, and all other necessaries of life, free, as a step to their imme d' at e repeal. The memorial was unanimously adopted by the meeting. A Mr. Griffiths, a young man wearing a Byronic collar and white trousers, endeavoured to address the meeting, but as his address was without purpose, and as he seemed " beside himself," the meeting most de cidedly refused to hear him, and after retaining his posi tion for some minutes, the Chairman politely requested him to withdraw, but as he continued to treat both him and the meeting with contempt, the Chairman collared him and thrust him from the platform. We have fre quently seen the young gentleman disturb meetings in a similar manner. Mr. A. CAMPBELL next addressed the meeting, and proclaimed himself a disciple in the cause—as desirous to see free trade carried out in all the nations of the earth—to see the people enjoy its fruits, for the land was theirs, e and should b e l ong to t h em. —(Ch eers. ) Th e Times within the l ast f ew d ays , p roc l a i me d th a t th e people of h a d an antecedent r i g h t to t h e l an d of h o country over th ose who now possesse d i t. B ut, wile ihs had, e all the distress h ere, we were even an export i ng their el country,. and would remain So as long as its proprietors could get 10s. more a quarter for it, unless it were for bidden by legislative enactments.— (Cheers.) He wished to impress upon Mr. Cochrane, who was a good friend to the poor—(Cheers) —that even when cheap food was attained, something must be done to enable the poor to buy it—(Cheers)—something must be done to afford them, reproductive profitable employment.—(Hear.) Let steps be taken to cultivate this country; for if it were properly cultivated, it would yield food for 120 millions. He did not wish to add any amendment to the memorial, but he wished to submit to the meeting a sentiment to this effect—that in order to obviate such distress for the future in Ireland, for instance, the Government was bound to adopt rational measures, in order to give them reproductive labour in their native land, to cultivate waste lands, and to issue Exchequer-bills to defray the expense. The process was one w.,ich would yield them an ample return. He resumed his seat amidst much cheering. Mr. FARREN advocated a fuller representation of the people as the best means of freeing them from the in fluence of injurious laws and the machinations of those who were speculating on their misery, by keeping food out of the market in order to create a scarcity, and con sequently regulate the price by regulating the quantity. Mr. WYNN supported the memorial, and cited pas sages from Scripture to show that the Government, who prof . essed themselves believers of " holy writ," were acting in direct contradiction to its spirit, and that they ought to act in accordance with the word of God, and let the oppressed go free." Mr. -WILLIS next addressed the meeting, which sepa rated after passim a vote of thanks to the Chairman and Mr. Cochrane; Several names were appended to the memorial. - . . _ A c o mpany .ha s undertaken to convey passengers from the Star, Edgware-road, to the Pine Apple, Hee gerford-n3arket, for 2d. esid e , IblavY GALES.—We have been visited duri ng th e week - by a stocession of more stormy weat h er than ge nerally occurs at this time of the year, the wind a t times blowing a comp lete hurr icane.

INCENDIARY FIRE AT THE To_we4 ra , m:, SHEF FIELD.—AbOUt h a lf-past one o'clock o n S atur d ay morn- ' • . fire was discovered in one of th e cells underneath mg ? a alarm was the ToWi - :. Hall. An instantly given, and one of.the engines beleagtng to the Sheffield Fire Office was on, the. spot before a. vore of re rsons had time to con gregate, and the fire was subdued before it had extended beyond h 11 in which it originat e d. I t appears that a t..eue man named Thomas G illman had been brought in drunk, a short time b e f o re, charged with creating a di s t ur b ance at - Mrs. Askey's, i n Watson's-walk, and was placed in a cell under the office, usually occupied by disorderlies. He had not long taken possession of his quarters when the office-keeper heard him bawling out that he was cold, anti wanted a fire ; and on visiting him found that the straw in the cell WAS in a blaze. The drunken keen diary (who had. it appears, set fire to tiag straw with lueifer matches) , an d four other prisoners from adjoin ing cells, were conveyed to Mr. Fordham's, the Black Rock, and left in , charge of officers. It was a fortu nate circumstance that the police had the presence of mind to remove the prisoners from the locality where the fire originated, or the consequences might have proved fatal, owing to the suffocating smoke which filled their cells and other p l a cei on the groun d floor. GLASGOW, SATURDAY EVENING.—The sudden intima tion from the new directors of this railway that, from and after the .l€th proximo, the Sunday passenger trains on this line are to be discontinued, has been re ceiied by the great body of the public, both in Edin burgh and Glasgow, alike with surprise and dissatisfac tion. This feeling pervades to a very large extent not only the business community, but a vast portion of the be-st and most pious men in both cities, who regard the resolution as the triumph of intolerance and bigotry over enlightenment and sound sense. The facts are these:—Since the 21st of February, 1842, when the rail way was opened, up to the present time, two trains have left each end daily—that is, morning and evening, the present hours being 8 a.m. and 5 P.m., thus allowing every servant of th company to attend Divine service if he felt inclined. Moreover, the trains have been uni versally conducted 'n the most orderly manner, gene rally carrying country people from the villages to the town churches, or ycung men engaged in the respective cities to visit their parents, whose residences might be situated in the neighbourhood of the line. For instance, hundreds of Roman Catholics have been in the habit for two years past of coming every Sunday from Campsie and Kirkintilloch to attend Divine worship in the chapels in Glasgow ; and, indeed, Christians of all denomina tions have been wont to use these trains to attend the ministration of clergymen according to their respective creeds. They have never been required or used as trains intended for the purposes of pleasure or recreation. They have, in thousands of instances, subserved the ends of those who travelled on errands of necessity and mercy ; and, at the same time, have been of incalculable service to tourists and commercial travellers. But by this reso lution all communication between the two sides of the islan i d,'having a population of 350,000 at the western terminus, and 200,000 at the eastern, is now to be en tirely stopped one day in seven ; and thus, instead of going forward, we are retrograding to the practice of the days of our great-grandfathers. Up to the opening of the railway the mail coach ran regularly on the Sunday, a post-chaise could be got when desired ; but every con veyance of this kind has been long driven off the road ; and those, therefore, who feel a necessity to travel on Sunday, are now utterly helpless, This running of Sunday trains has certainly been the vexed ijaestion of the railway ; but on no former occasion have the directors taken it upon themselves to settle it. It has always been left in the hands of the shareholders. At every successive half-yearly meeting Sir •Andrew Agnew, with his friends, has appeared to move the dis continuance of those trains ; but uniformly his motions have been defeated by majorities varying from three to seven against one. It was often publicly and authorita tively stated at these meetings of the company that there was a majority of the Scottish shareholders in favour of this moderate amount of railway traffic on the Sunday, irrespective of the English proxies altogether. Mr. Leadbetter, the first chairman of the company, was averse to these Sunday trains, and resigned on account of them. Mr. Learmonth, the ousted chairman of the late ousted directors, was equally opposed to them ; but they were carried on by both in deference to the wishes of the shareholders. The new Anglo-Scottish board has, however, knocked them on the head, without saying any thing to the shareholders on the matter. It appears that the English deputation, which was headed by Mr. Cheethain of Manchester, and Which drove the former directors from office, have associated with themselves in the new direction several gentlemen who are prominent members of the Free Church—such as Mr. H. Dunlop of Craigton, Mr, Hogg of Newliston, &c., and Mr. Hen derson of Park, who, though a member of another dis senting body, was the first chairman of the Evangelical Alliance ; and ,to this connexion must be traced the removal of the very modest and moderate allowance of railway accommodation which the Scottish public en joyed on the Sunday. The general impression here is that many good men oppose the Sunday trains from conscientious motives, but that the larger number de claim against them to support a character of " I am holier than thou art." And the people here con sider it the " unkindest cut of all " that they should be deprived by means of tho usually liberal minded Eng lishmen of a privilege which the latter enjoy so largely themselves, and the use of which in Scotland has been g p i r t o n v l e a d ad m rat t e r r al t i o ty. help than public anto are e rm of tchoeucrasueseroesforlevelid to resist the resolution which has been ccme to ; and the question is likely to give rise to greater discord than this divided company has yet seen. In other respects the new , directors are making every effort to meet the wants of the public, by ordering new engines, car riages, &c. SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER. CnESTER, MONDAY, OCT. 26.—The first general meeting of the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway was held to-day in the Westminster assembly-room of the Royal Hotel, for the usual purposes. This undertaking, as the railway world are aware, is formed by an amal gamation into one company of the Nerth Wales Mineral and Extension, the Shrewsbury, Oswestry, and Chester Junction Railways and their branches, for which an Act was obtained in the late session. The attendance was very numerous, and Mr. William Ormsby Gore, M.P., presided. After the usual preliminaries, The SECRETARY read the report from the directors, and explained the Parliamentary progress and present position of the company, with information down to the latest dates on the following items:— " STATE OP THE COMPANY'S FUNDS. 1. Of the share capital of the North Wales Mineral Railway £270,000 There has been called up £210,000 2. Of the share capital of the Shrews bury, Oswestry, and Chester Junction of 410,000 680,000 There has been called up... 120,000 ----- 333,000 Leaving applicable to the comple tion of the main lines £347,000 3. Of the branchei capital of 276,0001 there has been paid up only a de posit of 1/. per share. " In addition to their share capital, the company were entitled to borrow to the extent of one-third of their whole capital, and they have already availed themselves of that power, on the North Wales Mineral Railway to the extent of 90,0001 " STATE OF THE WORTS.--The North Wales Mineral Railway is now completed from Saltney to Ruabon. It was inspected on Wednesday of last week, by Major- General Pasley, and there is every reason to believe that 11;s report will be perfectly satisfactory. The stations at Ruabon, Wrexham, and the intermediate places, though not all completed, are in a state to afford sufficient ac commodation for traffic. The stock of engines, carriages, waggons, &c., required, is in readiness. A temporary agreement has been made with the Holyhead Company, for the use of that portion of the line between Saltney and the Birkenhead terminus at Chester. Similar arrangements have also been conclu,ded with the Chester and Birkenhead Company, after rather protracted nego tiations, and from the fair and friendly spirit in which the directors have been met, and the obvious benefit to be derived from the traffic of companies so intimately connected being placed upon terms of mutual advan tage, they feel confident that the details of the agree. ment entered into will be properly carried out. The directors have learned with satisfaction that the Chester and Birkenhead Company have also made con siderable progress with preparation for their proportion of the goods traffic of the Shrewsbury and Chester line. The directors have likewise turned their attention to the means of providing for the carriage by water from Saltney, for such portion of goods as may be more ad vantageously conveyed from thence by the river Dee or the Ellesmere Canal. The mineral branch is rapidly progressing, and will be in readiness for working in the ensuing spring, when a considerable quantity of coals, lime, and iron, will be brought upon the line, although the full resources of the mineral field will necessarily take a longer time to develop. The works upon the Shrewsbury, Oswestry, and Chester line have hitherto been mainly confined, as stated in the former report, to the Dee viaduct, which requires a considerably longer period to finish than the rest of the line. It is progress ing very satisfactorily. Agreements have already been made for the purchase of the greater portion of the land for the whole line. On full consideration, the directors have decided on pressing on the formation of the line from the Chirk viaduct to Salop, so as to permit 17 miles of line to be opened, and prove productive, before it is possible to complete the heavier works. The directors are happy to day that their engineer reports that he will be able to open this portion of the line early in the spring of 1848, and the whole line he hopes to be able to open in the autumn of the same year. The directors beg to refer to the engineer's report, in the appendix. " NEW BRANCHES.—The directors having had their attention called to the requirements of the important districts around Mold, and on investigation having ascertained that the best mode of affording railway ac commodation to Mold, and the immediate neighbour. hood, would be from this line, they have caused a survey to be made for the purpose of going to Parliament. The length of the line is about eight miles; and the expense of construction will be moderate. They also recom mend an application to Parliament to enable them to form a commodious terminus at Chester, either by them selves, or in connexion with any or all of the neighbour ing companies, so as fully to accommodate the large traffic, which must concentrate at Chester, for Liverpool and Mtinchester, and other important towns. " PROSPECTS.—The directors having thus explained the progress and present position of the Shrewsbury and Chester line, cannot help congratulating the shareholders upon the result of the proceedings in the last session of Parliament. Every line which in any way threatened to affect their interests having entirely failed or been thrown out of Parliament, whilst there have been ob tained, first, their two valuable branches; and, secondly, two lines by independent companies, one from Shrewsbury to Birmingham, and the other from Shrewsbury to Here ford, equal to this company's line in extent, running into it, and placing it in the position of being the connecting link between Bristol and Liverpool, and between Bir mingham, by North Wales to Liverpool. Further, the -line traverses, in its whole length, a populous and highly cultivated country. The mineral field extends over six teen miles of the central portion of the line, from which already a very large traffic flows towards both termini, although the minerals have been won, and worked only to a small extent. The line possesses the advantage of miming from the sea into the interior of the country, a position always favourable to the development of traffic. It is completely protected from the competition of car riage by water, which in so many cases presses heavily on other lines. It further possesses this peculiar advan tage. that on arriving at the terminus or shipping port on the Dee, there are already existing three different means of communication with Liverpool and Birkenhead, competing for traffic; and a fourth and most valuable one will, in a short time, be added to the number. These are—First, the Manchester and Birkenhead Railway. Second, the Ellesmere Canal from Chester, viii Ellesmere Port to Liverpool, by water communication all the way, without change of boat. Third, the River Dee, which affords, by means of steam-tugs, the cheapest conveyance at present existing for goods and minerals to Liverpool. An extensive project for the improvement of the navi gation of the Dee is in progress. The fourth means of communicatio❑ with Liverpool will be the Cheshire Junction Railway and the bridge over the Mersey near Runcorn. While holding these views as to the future and not remote success of the line, the directors think it right to caution the shareholders Rot to raise their expectations too high as to the result of the first opening. It will obviously require some time to form conexions with the various districts of Shropshire, Montgomery shire, Denbighshire, and Merionethshire, the traffic of which, in goods and passengers, will be brought upon this line, as their natural course; and until these arrange ments shall have been in some degree carried out, it is scarcely to be supposed that the traffic will afford a fair indication of the future prospects of the undertaking. The directors are endeavouring to facilitate such arrange ments by every means in their power. This cannot be done effectually, however, in any way but by open com petition, called into action by the wants of the public. It is in order to effect this, at as early a period as pos sible, as much as with a view to immediate profit, that -the directors have been anxious to open the line with as little delay as they could ; and when it shall have been fully accomplished, they feel confident that the most sanguine anticipations of the shareholders will be realised. " The directors named in the Act are—William Ormsby Gore, Esq., M.P., William Wardell, Esq., Sir Richard Jenkins, K.C.8., Robert Aglionby Slaney, Thomas Dixon, Charles Wardell, John Rogers, William Brown, John Williams, David Harrison, John Bethune Ross, John Royle, George Mackintosh, William Bevan, and Frederick Richard West, Esqs.; all of whom are eligible for re-electron, and offer themselves accordingly. It will be necessary that this meeting appoint two auditors, and fix the remuneration of the directors and secretary. The directors recommend that Mr. Robert Roy be continued in the office of secretary, with a salary of 5001. per annum. The directors recommend that Mr. James Smith, accountant, Chester, and Mr. Thomas Hill, accountant, Oswestry, be appointed auditors, with a salary of 20/. each." • The Hon. CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, stated, that since it had been printed, a letter had been received from General Pasley, in which the gallant officer said, " I have made a very favourable report of yOur works." The proprietors world be extremely gratified at hearing this, and he was happy also to bear testimony to the amicable manner in which the arrange ment with the directors of the Chester and Birkenhead Company had been carried out, for it was most essential that all the lines running from the Severn to the Mersey should be in union and goodfellowship. This line had before it the prospect of as great a traffic as this country could produce. It had not only the mineral fields of South Wales, and the trade which was now carried on coastwise, between Bristol and Liverpool, but also the prospect of very considerable traffic from the districts in the neighbourhood of Birmingham. Under these cir cumstances it was essentially necessary that harmony should prevail; and he had the gratification of stating, that at meetings of two other companies over which he pre sided, the Shrewsbury and Birmingham, and the Shrews bury and Hereford, the shareholders were deeply im pressed with the necessity of the tr i a juncta in uno.— (Hear.) The Chairman then adverted to a feel i ng of some dissatisfaction with the shareholders, concerning the purchase of some shares. They had mainly had the interests of the proprietors in view; and, under these circumstances, they had deemed it right to issue circu lars to all the shareholders, to the effect, that if they wished to be represented at the present meeting, they might send their proxies to whomsoever they pleased. To himself alt,ne there had been confided proxies repre senting capital to the amount of 357,2901., the votes on which were 7,466. This was entirely independent of the votes he possessed in his own right, and of the interest he had in the line. The gross capital of the company was 548,9901., the votes on which would be 12,420. Tho proxi« s he held were independent also of those which had been sent to other parties. He returned his thanks for the confidence which the majority of the proprietors reposed in him. The Chairman then ad verted to another list for directors which had been sent in, and stated that though he had no objection to their names, he could not consent to those who had borne the brunt of the battle being now turned out. If any one went out he ought to be the first, seeing that he had come in only at the eleventh hour. Some doubt had been expressed as to the payment of arrears ; but the company need not be ashamed ‘aen he stated that since the sth inst. 20,1251. had been paid up on those arrears. He was further happy to say, that until the whole line was opened from Chester to Shrewsbury, no more would be called for than Gl. per share—(Hear, hear)—and that upon the North Wales Mineral Old Stock there would be only one equalising call of 1/. per share.—(Hear.) The Chairman concluded by stating that the line from Chester to Ruabon would be opened to the shareholders and their friends on Monday, Dec. 2, and to the public the following day. The motion for the adoption of the report was then seconded, and unanimously carried. Mr. DARBY moved, and Mr. Pores seconded, the re election of the directors, and that they be paid an allow ance of 8001. per annum.—Carried unanimously. The salaries of the secretary and of the auditors were fixed at the sums recommended in the report. Mr. WILLIAM JACKSON, Chairman of the Chester and Birkenhead Railway Company, moved the thanks of the shareholders to Mr. Gore for his conduct in the chair, and congratulated the meeting on the amicable relations subsisting between the two companies. Mr. Jackson included other directors and the solicitor in the same vote, and it was unanimously carried. The CHAIRMAN having returned thanks, a similar compliment was paid to the engineer and the secretary, and the proceedings terminated. OCT. 24.—W. F. liains,SeCOnd Master, to the Pene lope ; W. J.

FIRST OPERATION OF THE RETIREMENT SCHEME. — Captain James Slade (1810), one of the officers who have accepted the retirement, is dead, and the Admiralty, in accordance with their expressed determi nation of granting to those officers who had given in their names as candidates for the retirement before the Ist of October the advantages of the measure from that date, have announced their intention of granting to the widow of Captain Slade the widow's pension of a Rear Admiral. Captain Slade was a Lieutenant of 1799, and when senior of the Latona distinguished himself in command of her boats, in cutting out a Dutch_ gun brig and two schooners, near Groningen, in 1799. He also served in the expedition to the Helder in the same year. He was made a commander in Sept., 1799, for those services, and a.tained the rank of captain on the 21st October, 1810. THE PROMOTION.—It is believed that the number of commanders to be promoted on the 9th of November will not be less than thirty, and the number of old and meritorious lieutenants fifty. We are informed that the gallant and highly distinguished Captain Sir S. J. Brooke Pechell, Bart., has not accepted the re tirement. Captain Woodford J. Williams, of the Avenger steam-frigate, has been appointed to command the Am. phien, 36, gun-frigate, with an auxiliary screw propeller of 300 horse-power, at Woolwich. The officers of the Avenger, Lieutenants Sibballc, Hawkins, and Clark ; Master John Tucker, Surgeon Dr. George Mackay, Paymaster and Purser John Breck wood, Assistant• Su rgeon John T. Robinson, Second Master John Fiddes, &c. together with the crew of that steam-frigate, having been turned over to the Amphion, the Avenger will be laid up at Portsmcuth after she is repaired. Master John Pascoe (1842), from the Eurydice, 26, to the Scourge, steam-sloop, vice Godden, sick. The papers contained last week the promotion of As sistant-Surgeon Jones, to the rank of surgeon. We can not find any assistant-surgeon of the name of Jones on the Ncvy List. Assistant-Surgeon Dr. Harry H. Turnbull (1838), of the America, 50, Captain the Hon. John Gordon, has been promoted to the rank of surgeon. Second Master.—H. J. Cunningham?, acting of the Gladiator, steam-frigate, has been appointed to the Raven, cutter, vice W.F. Hans, to the Penelope, steam frigate. __ THE NAVAL MEDICAL SUPPLEMENTAL FUND.—At a late meeting of the directors of the Naval Medical Supplemental Fund it was resolved that a special general meeting should be convoked on the 29th instant, to elect a secretary. . Captain Codrington arrived at Devonport on Sunday, and took up his commission that morning as commander of the Thetis, 36. The Admiralty have ordered the Brazilian frigate Constitutional to be repaired at Devonport dockyard. Her defects are extensive. The Scourge, steam-sloop, Commander Caffin, arrived at Devonport on Saturday from Portsmouth, with some marines for the Stromboli, and sailed on Sunday for Rochefort, to .bring home some distressed British sub jects there. The Stromboli, steam •sloop, Commander Fisher, has had her defects completed at Devonport, and has coaled. She was to have left yesterday for Cork. The Pluto steam•vessel, Lieut.-Commander Lowe, was caught in the tale of Wednesday last, on her way from Limerick, with supplies of provisions for Kerry, but was enabled to lie to at Tarbert. The Swallow, steam-tender to the Madagascar store ship, Commander Green, in the Shannon, and com manded by Second Master Bryant, left Limerick on Tuesday afternoon with a supply of provisions for the in terior of Kerry, and was caught in the furious storm of Wednesday morning, in which she was driven ashore by the force of wind and waves at the entrance of the Askeaton river, where she now lies high up at low water. The ♦essel is also reported to be strained, if not bilged. THE STEAM-SHIP RIPON. DEPARTURE OF THE INDIA MAILS AND PASSENGERS. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com pany's steam-ship Oriental arrived in Torbay, from Southampton, on Friday night, at half-past ten o'clock, and the mails and passengers, with their baggage and the packages for India, were transhipped to her from the Ripon in the course of Saturday. The Oriental started from Torbay, for Malta and Alexandria, on Sunday, the 25th instant, at half-past seven o'clock, A.M., with a fair wind and fine weather. The Ripon left Torbay at the same time under her own steam, steered by guys upon the after part of the rudder, and arrived off South ampton water at seven o'clock in the evening. Her Ma jesty's steam ship Cyclops, and the company's steamer Queen, accompanied her, but their assistance was not required. A new rudder is being made for her, and she is fixed to take the mails of the 20th of November. All accounts concur in stating that the Ripon proved herself a most easy and excellent sea boat during the gale in which her rudder gave way. The following letter has been received from the pas sengers, and Colonel Horne, in transmitting it to the managing directors," expresses his regret that the bustle attendant upon the change of vessels had prevented a great many from adding their signatures, who, from the general feeling of satisfaction which existed, might rea sonably be supposed as concurring in the sentiments ex pressed." (corv.) " Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's vessel, the Ripon, Torbay, Oct. 24, 1846. Nine A.M. " To the Chairman and Directors of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. Gentlemen,—We, the undersigned passengers, who quitted Southampton on beard your new steamer the Ripon, on Tuesday, the 20th inst., and who are now about to proceed in the Oriental, desire to express to you our feelings of gratitude for, and admiration of, the conduct of Captain Moresby, as well as of his officers and crew, during the perilous situation in which we were placed during the whole of the 21st inst., and to tender our acknowledgments to you and your acting manager for the prompt and strenuous exertions made to obviate the inconvenience occasioned by the disabled state of the Ripon. That we should at this early period have the Oriental, with an attendant small steamer alongside, and almost all our baggage transhipped, though it is now only 48 hours since our first communication with the shore after our disaster, is ample proof of the ac tivity and judicious arrangements made by your managing directors on this emergency. " We are, Gentlemen, very faithfully yours, (Signed) "R. Home, John C. Lyall, W. H. Martin, M. ~ A. Martin, P. Gwatkin, B. C. Gwatkin J. Miss D'Aquilar, Miss Jac 4 Lord, E.

CABMAN.—On Monday Mr. Mills held an inquest at the Marquis of Cornwallis, Great Coram-street, on the body of Robert Watts, aged 63, a cabman, living at No. 8, Little Guildford -street. It appeared by the evidence of deceased's wife, that he was an inveterate drunkard, and passed half his time in bed, to recover from the effects of the spirituous liquors he drank during the other half. After having been in toxicatedriday morningfo for three dd wentays prteoviboeuds.ly, Onhe S c a a t m ur e d a ll y ° meon Friday morn ing she went out, leaving him still in bed, and on her return found that he had strangled himself by means of a rope fastened to a bed-rail, and twisted round his neck. Verdict, " That deceased destroyed himself whilst iof unsound mind, caused by the habitual use of intoxi cating liquors." We have to announce the death of the Countess (Dowager) of Huntingdon, who expired on Tuesday last at Boulogne-sur-Mer. Her Ladyship was the eldest daughter of the late Joseph Bettesworth, Esq., and mar ried, first, Alexander Thistlethwayte, Esq. ; secondly, Hans Francis, eleventh Earl of Huntin;don; and thirdly, in April, 1838, Colonel Sir Noel Hams, K.C.H. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, OCT. 16.—Lip to this moment there is no appearance of the India mail, nor is there any of the Tagus with the outward mails. It is feared that some accident must have happened, as she is three days over time. The mails, rid Marseilles, reached yesterday at cue o'clock, A.M. Early this morning the Dutch frigate Prince Von Orange, having his Royal Highness Prince Henry in command, and the two corvettes, Juno and Sambre, were in sight, and at half-past ten, ♦.M., entered port, on their return from Genoa. The Prince will not land till to-morrow, at ten o'clock. On Wednesday night Malta was visited by one of the most violent storms ever remembered. The forked lightning illuminated the air, the thunder roared in fearful claps, rain in torrents descended, and hail stones (almost unknown) fell; so large were the latter, that were I to name the size of some I should infal libly be accused of imitating the celebrated Baron Man chausen. In the midst of the storm, her Majesty's steamer Flamer, Lieutenant Lavie, entered port. The dexterity and seamanlike skill manifested on the occasion form the general theme of conversation. Much damage ensued, and the electric fluid struck several houses. Early on Thursday morning (four o'clock, A.M.), a second squall, even more violent than the storm over night, was felt. Her Majesty's brig Siren, which took pratique that morning, was taken, and fouled the Hecla steamer. The Siren lost her jibboom, but the Hecla re ceived little or no damage. Between Gozo and Comino, two Maltese boats, called speronaras, were wrecked, by which misfortune nine per sons perished. One man, named Gausi, was picked up on a plank thirteen miles distant from the scene of the catastrophe by a fisherman. The boats are named the Susanna and the Santa Filomena. One house at Gozo was blown or washed down, and four persons killed; and an old cowherd, with his two cows, were washed away and lost. . SATURDAY, OCT. 17 .—The Pottinger, with the mails from India, has arrived, and the Tagus, from Southamp on, is coming in. At ten o'clock, his Royal Highness the Prince Henry of the Netherlands landed under a royal salute. A guard of honour from the 42d Regiment received his Royal Highness at the Custom-house, where he was landed from the barge of Rear-Admiral Sir L. Curtis, and where also he was received by Colonel Balneavis, our actin;-governor. Hence they proceeded to the palace, where a second guard of honour, supplied by her Majesty's 88th Foot, and commanded by Captain Irwin, was drawn up, and where also the staff of the garrison assembled to welcome his Royal Highness on his return to Malta. On the 16th, her Majesty's steamer, the Trident, having completed her repairs , went on a trial trip to sea. She returned in the after noon, and a pp ears to have answered remarkably well. Her average speed was nine and a half knots per hour. OCT. 17. DISTRIBUTION OF THE MEDITERRANEAN SQUADRON. In Malta Harbour.—The Ceylon, 12, receiving ship, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir L. Curtis, Bart., second in command and Superintendent of Malta dock yard, the Siren, 16, Commander Le Hardy, the Hecla war steamer, Commander C. Stumm, the Locust steamer, Lieutenant-Commander Power, and the Wee Pet steam -tug. On Surveying Duty.—The Bonetta, Commander T. S. Brock, and the Research cutter, Lieutenant Spratt. At Sea.—The Hibernia, 120, Captain Peter Richards, C. 8., bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, Bart., G.C.8., the Commander-in-Chief. At Gibraltar.—The Phoenix steam-Tease', Com-
