JUL LI EN Since the Festival given last year in honour of the great composer, BEETHOVEN, at his hirthplace, the musical professors and ama teurs of almost every continental city have bestirred themSdiVeS to evince their admiration of that great departed genius, and have pro dnced some grand musical reunion for the special performance of his finest works. The public enthusiasm with which these Festivals have been received, as well as the royal patronage bestowed on them, proves the estimation, and indeed almost devotion, with which the talents of Beethoven are regarded abroad. It has, however, been the frequent remark of foreign artistes, that in no country are Beethoven's works more highly appreciated than in England; and since the public in general have been enabled at a reasonable charge to make themselves aoquainted with them, such a widely-extended knowledge now exists, that it is scarcely possible to conceive but that a similar demonstration in England must be highly and generally popular. 3f. JULLIEN having at his disposal an orchestra of unrivalled talent, conceived the idea of producing such an entertainment as that above-mentioned, and on making known his intentions has re ceived from many distinguished amateurs and professors the most encouraging assurances of support and assistance. In addition to his usual orchestra, M. Jullien has been enabled to add the names of several of the first professors, and has also the satisfaction to state that Signor Sivori has expressed his wish to take part in the Festival, and will for a short period longer delay his departure. WHITE CONDUIT-HOUSE TAVERN. R. ROUSE takes the opportunity, at the commencement of a new year, of expressing his profound gratitude to the public, and to those numerous societies and friends who so liberally honoured him with their patronage during the last year, and to inform them that he has already commenced booking his Annual Summer Dinners and Festivals, &c., and that to insure any particular (flys for cele brating the same, an early application would be advisable, as his arrangements and dinners during the past year, having given such general satisfaction, he is led to anticipate an increased share of the public patronage.—Omnibuses take up and set down at the door from Eight o'clock in the morning till Eleven at night. THE BEETHOVEN FESTIVAL Will commence on . MONDAY NEXT, JANUARY 12, 1846, and continue for the Five Following Evenings, during which the most celebrated works of Beethoven will be produced. The principal artistes already engagedto take part in the perform ance, are, Messrs. Barret, Baumann, Matt, Barper, Richardson, Baker, Case, Lazarus, Handley, Jarrett, Prospere, Hill, Howell, Casolani, Sonnemberg, Schmidt, Rowland, Blagrove, Thirwall, Chipp, Stoepel, Hatton, Betts, Day, C.

(Provisionally Registered.) Capital 63,0001., in Shares of 11. Is. each. Offices of the Company, No. 41, Moorgate-street. For some years before the late mischievous movement against railway interests on the part of the " Times " newspaper, it had been evident to all persons engaged in business, that in giving their advertisements to that journal they were themselves encouraging and fostering a newspaper which, while it derived the principal part of its support from the industry and energy of the mercantile and commercial classes of the community, was acting in every way against their interests. - But however unwilling those classes might be to lend their aid to such ajournal by sending to it their advertisements, it was compul sory upon them to do so, from the fact of the large circulation of the " Times " rendering it the only existing medium for obtaining the de sirable publicity. A remedy or au alternative was sought in vain ; the existence of a journal, with a circulation to answer the purpos es of a sufficient publicity for advertisements, remained a desideratum. This want appears to be now supplied by the " Iron Times," and the projectors of the "Iron Times" Newspaper Company have per ceived—in the manner in which that journal has recently assumed the character of a General Morning Newspaper, and the skill and talent which have been displayed in supporting that character—a power of expansion and development which, if duly supported by an amount of capital immediately available, must inevitably render the " Iron Times " the leading journal of the age. Founded on the basis of the " Iron Times" as a Railway News paper, the " Iron Times," as a General Newspaper, has a point d'appui to start from, such as it has never hitherto been the good fortune of any journal to attain. To the success of a newspaper there are two points necessary— circulation and advertisements. These combined—or even one of them singly—have never, in any instance, been arrived at without a great outlay and risk of capital ; both of these, however, the " Iron Times " has at starting. It has but to add to them. Actuated by this impression, and desirous , to insure the perma nence of an honest and independent Daily Morning Newspaper, the property of no clique, either political or literary, a Company has been constituted for the purpose of purchasing the " Iron Times," and infusing into it that amount of immediately-available capital, which alone appears necessary to insure its increased usenilness as a public journal, and an increased ratio of profits to all parties con cerned. As a commercial speculation the success of the " Iron Times" is a matter of public notoriety, and the Committee of Management of the Company, from the examination of the books, accounts, &c., have no hesitation in announcing the probability of a return of at least twenty-five per cent., or ss. per share, on the capital invested. To carry into effect the objects of the promoters of the Company, it is intended to create a capital of 63,0001., divided into 60,000 shares of 11. Is. each—the whole to be paid up. None of these shares will be allotted to the public until complete registration, which will be per fected in the course of a few days. By arrangements with the present proprietor of the journal, a limited number, not exceeding 4,000 shares, will be issued in the first instance, at par; after which there will be a further issue of a similar number at 11. prem. per share; the remainder at such periods and at such prices as the Committee of Management shall de termine, and the augmented value and importance of the property of the Company shall demand. The arrangements for the protection of the interests of the share holders—for a pre-emption in favour of original subscribers, for sub sequent issue of shares, for the limitation of their liability, and for der t th e aApplication regu l ation ng ttoor a d arde m anagement of the undertaking—have been matured; and the deed of settlement to carry these arrangements re be into legal effect, is now under the consideration of counsel. wt- To o ic th e e ef c th om e Company,mitteeo ad dressed allto n. communicationsEdwards,therseseperecettiarngy,thate the Managementhl r g e - s o t r f e t e h t e , , London. ron Times" paper Compa ny. allot me, tp u e r w Gentlemen,—l request such less number as you shall determine , in the Capital Stock of the " Iron Times" Newspaper Company ; and I hereby engage to pay the sum of One Pound One Shilling upon each Share that shall be appropriated to me, and to execute the Deed of Settlement of the Company when required, it being distinctly understood that my liabity is limited to II la. per Share, and that under no circum stanclies I shall be called upon for any further or other sum.

At the last quinquennial meeth eg there was added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of 5 per cent. to the Shares, in addition to the payment of the annual interest. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum, without a prospective bonus, a BM, table at lower rates has been calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one-half the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five years, thus enabling a person to insure his life for 1,0001. on the inunediate payment of the premium for 500/. only. The following are the annual Premiums for the Assunince of 100!. for the whole Life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per cent. ; and should the Policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then be deducted.

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 IDRy agreed ; also for the purchase of Revers t ionary Interests, Policies o f Assurance, and every other des cri p tion of proper y. Persons borrowing money, of the Company, upon appreved bo se r: se curity, and effecting a policy of Ass urance for the amount 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 1,000/. 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 assimilate its benefits as nearly as possible to those of Mutual Assurance Societies, with the additional security of a subscribed capital. With this view, 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. This Company, in submitting the subject of Tontine Annuities to the public, is influenced by the belief that there are many persons, who from the hope of longevity, and the desire of ease and affluence as they progress through life, will gladly avail themselves of this mode of investment ; —by which they will secure a large remunera tive and increasing income, guaranteed to them by the Company during their own lives or the lives of their nominee. The following is an illustration of the principle of the Tontine An nuities :—lf 1,000 persons subscribe 1001. each, they or their respec tive nominees, being of an age to enter the class in which the an nuity granted is 61. p • a cent. per annum, each subscriber or nominee will, during the continuance of all the lives, receive an annuity of 61. ; but as the lives drop, the share of the deceased parties will be divided among the survivors, until they are reduced to six, each of whom will then receive 1,000/. per annum for life ; but as they re spectively die off, the 1,0001. per year which the deceased party re ceived will fall into the flmd m s of the Copany, for the benefit of the shareholders ; and so in proportion for a larger or smaller numb er o f subscribers or their nominees. This mode of investment Ns , ' 'll place it in the p ower of almost e very . individual, at some period of life, by prudently and legitimately a _ money, which propriating a comparatively small sum of in many in stances would be otherwise uselessly expended, to secure indepen dence and comfort in their declining years. Parents may also by these means provide for their children.

The ibilowing letters have been addressed to the editor of the Tithes Sir,—ln one of your editorial article§ of this morning on the sub ject of new railroad SCheillei, I find the Manchester and Southamp ton hallway thus singled out for animadversion:—" The much vannted plan for railway communication between Manchester and Southampton, for instance, is now alleged to be ditiiply itti ifiipoiSi bility. In the excitement of launching the scheme, allotting the shares, getting the plant deposited in time, and congratulating the fortunate shareholders on the last grand point having been gained, every tine seems to have forgotten the existence of the Cotteswold hills, which present, it is now declared, an insurmountable harrier to the railway being constructed. It IS Strange that no one ever thought of the Cotteswold hills before, but there they are, and there they have been !Yon' the first—' a great fact,' which all the forces the Rail*ay King has at his command will not be able to retrieve," The sinister report to which yea thus give ciirrency was officially contradicted in the columns of litany of your contemporaries a fort night age, and the Directors had hoped that a statement at once se unfounded, and calculated so unnecessarily to disturb the minds of their shareholders, would not again be lightly advanced. Fer your information, however, and that of the public, I beg once more distinctly and emphatically to state that, so far from the Cottes wold hills presenting " an insurmountable barrier to the railway being constructed," the Company's engineers-in -chief (Messrs. Ste phenson and Bidder) have been enabled to lay out a line which, having regard to the entire distance of 88 miles between Cheltenham and Southampton, is of ordinary character and costs. I may add, that the gentleman on whose authority this pass was some time since stated to be "impracticable," is himself the en gineer to a line through the same hills, which is to be submitted to Parliament in the ensuing session, and as to the engineering features of which this Company may invite comparison with those of their own line, and that the practicability of the line was distinctly ascertained many months ago, before a prospectus ap peared, er a single share was issued; and, further, that the Directors are fully prepared to substantiate to Parliament and to their sub scribers every statement upon the faith of which they have re ceived the support of the latter, and are about to solicit the sanction of the former. You will, indeed, be aware that, if any reasonable doubt existed on these points, the public and the shareholders are themselves in a position to satisfy their doubts, copies of the Com pany's Plans being in the possession of the Clerk of the Peace for every county into which the line runs ; of every Parish Clerk, of the Clerk of the Parliament, and of the Officers of the House of Commons, and the Clerks of Peace and of Parishes, being bound to exhibit them to all corners for a fee of Is. per hour. In order that there may be no possible mistake in this matter, I annex a letter from the Company's engineers, in confirmation of the foregoing statement, and remain, Sir, faithfully yours, JOHN WHEELER. 17, Great George-street, Westminster, Friday, Jan. 9, 1846. To the Managing Committee of the Manchester and Southampton Railway. "Gentlemen,—We observe in the `l'imes' of to-day a statement to the effect that this line is impracticable, the Cotteswold hills pre senting an insarmenntable obstacle to its construction. " It has been our professional rule and practice to lay out the railways committed to our charge in such a way as to insure easy and practical lines by the construction of moderate works at a rea sonable cost, and we shall be prepared to show, at the proper thee, that, so far from the Manchester and Southampton line through the Cotteswold hills being impracticable,' it answers in every respect to the character we have endeavoured to impart to all our under takings, and will bear a very favourable comparison with several lines now in operation, and with a vast number of those submitted to the Legislature in the last year, or intended for Parliament is its approaching session.—Your obedient servants, (Signed) " ROBERT STEPHENSON.

SOUTHWARK QUARTER SESSIONS. THE RIGHT OF THE INHABITANTS OF THE BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PRIVILEGES OF THE CITIZENS OF LONDON, On Friday the first general quarter sessions in the present mayoralty was held at the Town-hall, St. Margaret's-hill, before the Lord Mayor, Mr. Alderman Lucas, the Recorder, the High Sheriff, and the civic authorities. In the course of the proceedings, an important discussion took place relative to the violation of the charter which had been granted by various Monarchs to the City of London, relative to the borough of Southwark. After the grand jury had been sworn in, and informed by the Recorder that there were no bills for them to try, Mr. PILCHER, the late candidate for- the borough, accom panied by several influential gentlemen, rose and said that he had been instructed by a large body of his fellow-inbabit ants to present a petition, signed byupwards of 1,500 persons, to his Lordship, praying that they might be restored to their ancient rights and privileges, by sending members to the Court of Common Council, and to enjoy the same rights and privileges as Citizens of London. With these few words he would request his Lordship to receive the petition. The petition, which is an exceedingly long document, was then handed to the Lord Mayor, which, amongst other things, set forth:— " That Edward IV., by letters patent, dated November 9, 1462, granted all the privileges which heretofore were vested in the Crown, with a yearly fair of three days ; also a Court of Piepoudre, and a view of frank pledge : also that the citizens might arrest all felons, and take them to the gaol of Newgate. " That Edward VI., by letters patent, dated April 23, 1550, in consideration of 647/. 2s. Id., and subsequently a further sum of 500 marks, granted the appointment of two coroners, to the exclusion of all other, the King's coroners; that the Mayor should be the King's excheator, with the power to make his precept to the Sheriff of Surrey, grantin' also all the manorial rights formerly belonging to the bishop - bishop of Canterbury, and Charles Brandon, Duke of Suff,ilk. That the citizens should enjoy the same rights in the bo rough as they did in the city of London. And that the Mayor, R ecor der, and those Aldermen who had been Mayor, should be Justices of the Peace in the borough, so long as they should remain Aldermen. " That in pursuance of the above charter, at a Court of Aldermen held on the 20th of May, 1550, Sir John Avliffe, Knight, was appointed Alderman of the Irldge Ward With out; also that four discreet and substantial freemen of the city, resident in the borough, should be from time to time elected by the inhabitants of the borough, out of whom the Court of Aldermen should elect one to be an Alderman of the City, and to have the peculiar rule and governance of the borough and town of Southwark. From whence it appears that the intention of the charter of Edward the Sixth was that Southwark should become a part of the city of London, possessing the same rights and privileges. ,, The petition, after proceeding to enumerate a great num ber of privileges which they have been dispo ssesse d o f, pro ceeds to state that i n addition to these burdens the inhabi tants of Southwark are liable to serve in the militia, and to yth th e e C C it i y t . City, they have soldiers quarter ed u p on them, from which, if the char ter of Edward the s ixth was acted u p on, the y ou g ht as citi zens of London to be exempt. ~T hat in the yea r 1660, whentheey were strenuously inhabitants were ud e fro mbd b y praying that prompt measures and ~ anxiousne successfully tpoe petition osenpcaor oppos ed an e d i would be taken for effectually uniting the Borough with the City, according to the intentions of the charters, and for giving the inhabitants of the Borough an adequate represen tation in the Council of the City, and that they . may be exempted from all burdens, personal and pecuniary, in ' consistent with the r i g hts and privileges of the City of Loadon."

On this day fort night the great Conservatrve party in Liverpool will be scat tered to the winds.—(Ch eers.) Next Friday week, when you meet your fellows-townsmen in the Exchange, you will not know what to call then.—(Laughter.) You have in. Liverpool two sections of Conservatives, the moderate Con servatives or Peelites, and the Ultras, or what may be called the Buckingham or Richmondites---(Laughter)—but three fourths, or I should perhaps say foul'-fifths of the Conserva tives in Liverpool are Peelites.—(Hear, hear.) When Sir R. Peel introduces his measure, that party will find themselves in a different position. The moderate Conservatives may not, perhaps, come round and join us at once, but this is quite clear, that when Sirßobert Peel introduces his measure they' will be absolved from all party ties, and they can.bring. their minds to the discussion of this question on it own merits. This day fortnight, the merchants of Liverpool will see that free trade means more trade, and with all the countries of the globe. Your brokers, too, who have been sometimes ac cused of being a little venal, and of following the merchants rather slavish]}, will be released from their party ties. Brokers must see that more imports must produce more sales upon change, and that more sales will produce more busi ness to the brokers. Shipowners and builders, also, must see that the adoption of free trade, requiring the adoption of more vessels, must bring more vessels to the port; that mere vessels will, in consequence, be re paired there, and that more vessels, too, will be built there. On these principles the interests of shipowners and builders must be as completely identified with the cause of free trade as are the interests of the merchant and the broker. Again, with regard to labour; does it not appear to those who have been accustomed to vote only with their party, that more ships coming into the port will bring more „, ; 'ii to the shipwrights, the ship carpenter, the caulkers, an d t h e smiths?—( Hear, hear.) And not merely those, but every porter, every man engaged in manual labour, must see that his interest , : are as completely identified as 'those of the others with this change. Therefore, every man capable of reason, having an honest desire to arrive at the truth what released from these bonds of party, will become as sound a free trader as any one in the room— (Cheers) --but let us halo no impediment in the way of these conversions. Let us do as they did in the West Riding of Yorkshire the other day—throw away the old colours and adopt the pure white as the et,"kblem of our peaceful and just cause.-.-(Cheers.) Ido not know what your eolours are. I think I have heard that one party adopts scarlet. Well, that is a bloody colour; away with it. some they say adopt the blue. We will have nothing to do with that, for it is the colour of the cholera in the potatoes. Let us adopt white as the colour of the banner of peace, the flag of truce at the next election. And if, as I venture to prophecy there will, a dissolution should take place on this bread question, it will be again as it was in the Reform crisis, when General Gas coigne could not get through his canvass, that a protec tionist, a pro-corn-law-man, a curry-powder candidate will not dare to show himself here.—(Enthusiastic cheering, in the midst of which the Hon. Gentleman sat down.) Colonel Tisoußsos - and Mr_ :PHORNELY, M.r. thell ad dressed the meeting, and the proceedings terminated. NAVAL IN TELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. g.-It being found more convenient for the defects of the Bittern to be made good in the narbour, she was towed in by the Echo steamer, on Wed nesday. The dock-yard artificers expect to complete her next week, when she will be paid, and proceed jo the coast of Africa. The Daring brig sailed for Bermuda on Wednesday afternoon, and is to be attached to the squadron in the Test Indies, under command of Vice-Admiral Sir F, Austen. The Scourge steamer was moved out of dock yester day, and the Radler put in her place; she will continue until the tides will admit of the Rodney being taken in, which will probably be to•morrow or Monday. The Alban steamer is to go to Plymouth and Cork on Monday, taking marines for Ireland. Mr. Kerley, Master Attendant of Chatham Dock yard, and the people who assisted him in navigating the Janus steamer to this harbour, returned to the River Medway yesterday in the Emerald and Mercury tenders. The Janus is of course now in ordinary, and, until the committee appointed by the Admiralty have examined her engines, and reported on them, no further work will be executed in her. The hull of the Janus is, new, and, should it be considered advisable, other en gines could be substituted, or she could be fitted with a screw. In her present state, there is great prejudice against the Janus. The officers selected to revise the rigging-warrants s G t r . a v nt in a ce n n d t, M vv r. i E ll l i s a o m n, r t u h r e d m o, as E te sq r . o , f fi h rs e t r of her Majesty's ships consist of Captain Sir R ichard dant of this dock-yard, and Mr. Flinn, the master of the master Majes t 3' ' a s t s t e h n i 13 - Victory. They commenced the duty yesterday on board the Rodney, when she crossed royal yards, aad had all her running and other rigging in their placer. A. vessel of every class will be brought forward, and have. the rigging warrant revised. A trial has been made this week by Captain Chads, of the Excellent, of a method to break, or displace, a boom placed across a creek o r harbour. Instead of the tedious and hazardous plan now generally adopted, of sending boats under cover of a heavy fire from the ship (and in some instances not even with that), to cut it away with axes, &c., as was the case recently at Borneo . , it is proposed to fix a breaker, or iron cask, to the boom, with a charge of about 25 or 301bs. of powder, having a proper fuze attached, and endeavour to blow it free of the passage. Yesterday a spare mast being obtained,. and chained to a floating buoy in the Channel, near the Excellent, a breaker, filled with powder, was made fast on it, a fuze lighted ; in about eight or ten minutes, allowing sufficient time for the boats to get clear, the explosion took place, and large masses of the piece of timber, of from six to ten feet in length, were torn off. Of course the parties, not being under fire of an enemy, had no risk to encounter. The time occupied in fixing the charge was only a minute or two ; and, from this trial, it is evident the plan is a good one, and may, if adopted, be the means of saving many lives in future operations where a boom, or. obstruction to the passage of armed boats up a river, is to be removed in face of an enemy. At Borneo, the other day, some hours elapsed before the boom which the pirates had placed across the river could be dis placed, and Mr. Gibbard, mate, and some seamen, were killed while doing it. Next week there will be some more experimental firing from the Excellent. The fun nel of a steam-vessel is ordered to be fitted on a floating stage, secured by iron chains in the usual way, for the purpose of ascertaining what effect, and how soon, the firing of shot or shells may have on it; the stage will be anchored at a regular distance from the Excellent, and then practised at. As this has never yet been tried, it has, on the suggestion of Captain Chads, been or dered, and the Admiralty have caused an old steamer's funnel to be sent from Woolwich fer that purpose. Commander R. S. Hewlett, late gunnery lieutenant of the Illustrious is appointed commander of the Excellent, in place of Captain Begot, promoted. Letters have been received from her Majesty's brig Kingfisher, from Teneriffe, dated the Bth of December. She had a very wet and bad passage out. It was in tended to call at Madeira, but the tempestuous state of the weather would not a dmit of Commander Brown going in. The Kingfisher was to sail on the 9th of De cember, and the officers hoped -to get to the Island of Ascension by Christmas-day. The enlargement of the new steam basin at the north part of the dockyard having been approved, the neces sary orders from the Admiralty have this week been is sued, and the work will be carried into operation with out loss of time. The place called the Buildings has been cleared of all the erections, and now belongs to the Crown. The basin and east sea wall are to be extended 300 feet. Two additional docks are to be made on the east side of the basin, capable of holding the largest sized steamers; on the west side there is a double dock in a ' forward state, one entrance being from the harbour, and the other from the steam basin. At the north angle of the dockyard a fifth new dock ia to A b h e a i r n d . , to be made, instead of a building slip, and! this will open direct from the harbour. The contractor. Mr. Peter Rolte, has now about 500 mechanics and la bourers at work on this great undertaking, and as the or landing place, for the use of the inhabitants of the season advances will tak te e ry on an a d be m n a t town, will be formed to the eastward ?f the dockyard, g 2 a o z o i n m e o a r r e e . and as Frederick' s 13 s" ar d, a nother battery will be mad e , t o e l u d e d in the do ck, ' es on either side, and in front. comma nd the appr oach The west and south walls of the basin are already biailt. up a considerable height, and about 150 masons are ord cupled on them.
