They had eleven new ones ordered, but such was the demand for engines now, that the makers would not show any favour in the completion of their orders. With respect to one engine which they had had ordered, Mr. Sharp wished them to go upon the London and Birmingham line for a trial ; but upon its arrival in London, the London and Birmingham Company laid violent hands upon it (Laughter) —and said that they should not have it back again. The Committee of Management of this Company have effected an amalgamation with the Dudley, Madeley, Broseley, and Ironbridge Railway Co- patty, on terms which are advantageous to the Share holders of both Companies. The liability of the Shareholders of this Company ',ill be reduced from 50/. Shares to Shares of 251., and Two Shares will be issued to the Shareholders of the Dudley and Madeley Company for Three of their Shares. By this arrangement the Capital and l'arlialmntary Deposit of 10 per cent., and the capital requisite for the entire scheme of this Company, including a line front Dudle► to Madeley next year, will he secured. The reduction of the nominal amount of the Shares renders it ne cessary for the Shareholders of this Company to have their Scrip Certificates stamped. They are, therefore, requested co send them to the Company's Office for that purpose. By order, GEORGE IlifoX, Secretary.. 3, Moorgate-street, Jan. 10, 1846. ORLEANS AND TOURS.—The concessionary company appears able to open the first section of the line from Orleans to Bordeaux in the beginning of March next. In the department of the Loire the length of the line is 32,346 metres. The works are now so far advanced that barriers are being placed at the paths which cross the railway, while the building for the reception of the car riages is carried on with the greatest activity on the part of the contractor, who has undertaken to finish them in the course of the present month. At Beauge nay, also, the works are far advanced. In the depart ment of Loire-et-Cher, in which the length of the rail way is 49,561 metres, it has been necessary to execute works of some extent to confine the waters of the river in their proper bed. The Directors having determined upon giving a fixed residence to each of the watchmen and others employed along the line, some delay has been occasioned in building their residences. The station at Blois is rapidly progressing. The length of the railway in the department of Indre-et-Loire is 33,447 metres, and on this portion the works have been carried on with the greatest activity. The guard-houses are finished, the barriers are being raised, and the stations of Vouvray, of Amboise, and of Mount-Louis are fast approaching towards completion. The Tours station, the dimensions of which are considerable, is proceeding but sloWly ; but this arises from the great care necessarily bestowed upon a work in which the solidity and good disposition of the building are of such importance. CALAIS BRANCH.— The project of uniting Calais with the Belgian frontier has been for a long time past under consideration. "We learn from a good source," says the Journal de Calais, " that the English Company which has at its head Mr. Stephenson, the engineer, con tinues to be occupied with the project of uniting Calais with the Belgian railways by Gravelines, Dunkirk, and Fumes, keeping in the most dirt ct line.

Temporary Offices, No. 16, Lincoln's Inn-fields._ _ . _ 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 4 pf 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. longhisasthe interest and premium arc regularly paid.

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 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 fer 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—tin interest upon the unpaid portion of the premiums, at the rate of 5 pw cent. per annum, being annually paid in advance. Upon paytralnt of the arrear of the premiums, the Assured will be entitled to a fall 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 assared 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. per cent. per annum, each subscriber or nominee will, during the continuance ofall 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 1,0001. 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 funds of the Company, for the benefit of the shareholders ; and so in proportion for a larger or smaller number of subscribers or their nominees. This mode of investment will place it in the power of . almost every individual, at coins period of life, by prudently and le gitimately ap propriating a comparatively small sum of money, which 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. Wealthy relatives for their poorer relations.

(Provisionally Registered.) Capital 63,0001., in Shares of IL 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 a journal 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 an alternative was sought in vain ; the existence of a journal, with a circulation to answer the purposes 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 Meriting 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.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. ~ ~ 1 MANCHESTER AND BIRMINGHAM. MANCHESTER, MONDAY, HALF-PAST FM: M.—This day, at noon,a special general meeting of the proprietors of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway was held at the offies of the Company at the station in London-road, for the purpose of considering the propriety, and if so determined, of,authorising the Manchester and Birming ham Railway Company to sub►cribe towards or pur chase shares in the following railways or undertakings, or some one of them ; that is to say, the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Railway—the Shrop shire Union Railway and Canal Company—the Man chester and Hyde Railway ; and also for the purpose of obtaining or refusing the authority or sanction of the ' said proprietors to the Directors proceeding to obtain an Act or Acts of Parliament, in the next or some subse quent session of Parliament, for power to construct the certain branch railways in connexion with the Manches ter and Birmingham Rail way, for which plans and sec tions have already been deposited, pursuant to the stand ing orders ; and also for obtaining or withholding the approbation and sanction of the proprietors to the Direc tors opposing any other railways projected, which may in their judgment or otherwise be considered prejudicial to this Company ; and for effecting any arrangement with other companies for the purpose of such opposition, or which may appear likely to promote the interests of this Company. Mr. J. P. WESTHEAD, Chairman of the Board of Di rectors, took' the chair, and opened the business of the meeting by calling upon the law clerk to read the notice convening the meeting. The CHAIRIIAN then said, that as regarded the pro jects adverted to in the notice convening the meeting, he would offer a few observations. Some time back this Company was waited upon by parties connected with the neighbourhood of Hyde and Denton, who complained that they had not adequate accommodation in that district; and it was suggested that more complete accommodation might be afforded by a branch from the Manchester and Birmingham line at Longsight, the line to branch off in that direction. The Directors were informed that such a project would not interfere with any existing in terest, and they, agreed to take an interest to the ex tent of 75,0001. in the line, the estimated cost of which was 150,4300/. T,vu of the Dliectors nail inquired into the amount of traffic likely to be derived upon that branch, and they had recommended the London and Birmingham Company to give their sanction to the project. The next subject they had met to consider was their connexion with the Shropshire Union Company. At the last half-yearly meeting it was stated that there were several projects afloat on the other side of the Grand Junction line. There were the Ellesmere and Chester Canal, the Shropshire Canal Company, and Birkenhead and Shropshire, the Trent Valley Junction, the Shrewsbury and Worcester, and Worcester and Crewe, all of which it was proposed to consolidate into one company, and this Company was to take an interest to the extent of 200,0004, subject to the sanction of the proprietors. These Companies were to be proposed to be included in one company, to be called the Shropshire Union Railway Company. One part of this important plan was owing to the unaccountable conduct of Mr. Giles, the engineer, of whom they had all heard some thing, being prevented from depositing its plans and sections of that part. But the others had all been duly deposited. The former was a circumstance which was much regretted by the promoters of the Shropshire lines ; but, considering that they had deposited the greater part of their plans in a satisfactory manner, it had been determined to go on with their application for one part of their Scheme, and try for the remainder in the next year. The line between Worcester and Shrewsbury, with the other projects which were re commended by. the Directors, would reqnire an outlay from this Company of 200,000 L The London and Bir mingham Board had sanctioned the proceeding. There was next the Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Com pany, which was also referred to at the last half ; early meeting, and in which it was proposed by the Directors to take an interest to the extent of 190,0001. At the time of their last half yearly meeting, the arrangement between this Company and the London and Birmingham was concluded, but no arrangement had been at that time come to between the latter Company and the Grand Junction. Since that time, an arrangement of an highly satisfactory character had been come to; and the Directors thought that the sanction of the meeting should be given to a Bill which would incorporate them not only with the London and Birmingham, but with the Grand Junction.—(Cheers.) A Bill would be submitted to them for approval, in accordance with .the standing orders of Parliament. These were the substance of the resolutions which' he would submit to the meeting. The amount which this Com pany would have to subscribe, would be for the Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands, 190,000/.; the Shropshire Union, 200,0004 ; and the Manchester and Hyde, 75,0001. Amongst the improvements of their own line, the Directors recommended a diversion from Adswood to Poynton, another from the line near Macclesfield to Bollington, an extension from Wilmslow to Preatbury, and a branch frem Wilmslow to Northwich and the Grand Junction hallway. The Chairman then alluded to the necessity which existed for the construction of the above-named lines, so as to make their line as perfect as possible. If the line from Wilmslow to Northwich were made, the traffic in coals would be great. At present great inconvenience was suffered in having to take the coals in the first place to Crewe, and then by the Grand Junction line to , Norwich. One gentleman had offered to guarantee an annual consumption of 25,000, if that work were completed. He also referred to the great in crease on the facility of access to Wales, if the recom mendations of the Directors were attended to. In answer to a question from a Shareholder, The CHAIRMAN said that the London and Birmingham Board had assented to all the proposals now submitted to the meeting. The CHAIRMAN moved a resolution, embodying the assent of the shareholders to all the different matters de tailed in the notice convening the meeting, obser ving that the shareholders or this Company would participate pro rata in the Shropshire project. Mr. E. D. DAVENPORT, of Capesthorn, after compli menting the chairman on his a ddress, spoke at some length, and asked whether this Company intended to oppose a line projected from Birkenhead to Macclesfield. He was a shareholder in the Manchester and Birming ham Company to the extent of some hundreds per an num, but he thought that the line f rom Birkenhead to Macclesfield wou ld . accommodtite the public, an d h e h ad, therefore, given his assent to it. It would re d uce coals in price three shillings per ton. fie hop e d th at some arrangement would - be come to with that Company. lie then, at considerable length, complained of the slow tra velling upon this line, stating that some of the trains were generally half an hour behind their time, whilst others were not unfrequently an hour. Thi s orning was the first time , that he had ever k nown the train to arr ive in proper time at Alderley. He also complained that the charge - fir a pass enger to go from Chilford to Chester was eight shillings, whilst if the party booked first from Chilford to Crewe, and then from Crewe to Chester, he would only b e c h arge d s i x s hil l i ngs. Th e mail train had at tim es b een an h our b eyon d i ts proper time, and if the Diftictors did not take means to ensure greater regularity, 'be would not promise not to endea vour to make them. ; The CIIAIRMAN regretted that at times the trains had not come in at the proper time, and the Directors had appointed a superintendent, whose duty it was to ascer tain and report the cause of the late arrival of the trains, and from these reports it appeared that the delays had been caused by the late arrival of the trains from Lon don on the Grand Junction line at Crewe. In conse quence of the redudtion of rates and fares, the increase of the traffic on this line had increased tremendously. They had generally 4 stock of engines on hand, but now Mr. William Hill, Chairman of the Board of Directors presided. Mr. JOSEPH HERON, Town Clerk of Manchester and one of the solicitors of the Company, then rose and stated that it would be within the knowledge of every shareholder that at the last meeting, by the terms of the report which emanated from the Board of Directors of the Manchester and Rugby Railway Company, the shareholders had had the option given to them of receiv ing back a sum of 325. per share, with a right to such further amount as shouid at any subsequent period be ascertained to be the property of each, or of receiving in the place of such portion of their deposit back again scrip of the same amount in the Churnet and Blythe Railway Company. Since that announcement had been made, the Directors had conceived that it would be only just and equitable that every necessary information which it was in their power to communicate to the share holders, should be laid before them, so as to enable them to d cide for themselves which course it would be the best for them to adopt under all the circumstances of the case, and so that hereafter there might be no room left for any shareholder to blame them, whether he decided to accept his proportion of the deposit, or to take the scrip proposed in the Churnetand Blythe scheme. This had led to the convening of that meeting. They had before them the prospectus of the Churnet and Bi ;the scheme, and he therefore felt that he had very little to do, for he could add nothing to the statements it contained. They had, therefore, now to decida for them selves which of the two courses it would be most advis able for them to adopt. As to their own immediate position, he would state that a full and accurate state ment of their affairs was now in course of preparation; but it was not completed so as to lay before the meeting, although it was desirable that it should have been done. The question, however, as to the Churnet and Blythe admitted of no delay; and consequently the meeting had been called at the earliest opportunity in order that the shareholders might have the means of deciding for them selves what should be their course of action under the circumstances. Mr. FAULKNER briefly enumerated the chief merits of the line. By the construction of 45i miles of new rail way they would be enabled to shorten the distance be tween London and Manchester, in conjunction with other lines existing and in progress, from its present length, to within 177 miles, and the time now occupied in traversing that route could be reduced from its period at present occupied to within four hours and a half. The line had been surveyed with great care and minuteness, and their surveys were all ready for Parliament. Those surveys were not to be quarrelled with, and he need only say that they were executed by Mr. Locke, in order to show that they could not have been confided to a better man in the whole kingdom. That gentleman was so well satisfied with the character of the under taking, that he had declared that it must be made, and had also strongly recommended it to the Directors of that line with which he was connected immediately in the district. From circumstances into which, perhaps, it was not necessary for him to enter, but which had their origin in an arrangement between the Grand Junc tion Company, and the London and Birmingham and Manchester and Birmingham Company, the Directors of the Churnet and Blythe Company had not deemed it expedient to put out such a number of their shares as would have prevented their being under the necessity of coming to others to ask for their assistance. The line was a substantial line, not promoted by parties who en gaged in it for merely speculative purposes, but by the resident landowners and proprietors of the district. In deen, he might mention that five-and-twenty miles of the land which would be required, out of the forty-five cuitipu.i.. 6 41.7 •,s.d ic.gch of their line, were the property of promoters of the line, and consequently the heavy expenditure necessary in the purchase of land would not be called for, less than one-half the length only having to be purchased by the Com pany. He had alluded to the Grand Junction Company. An allotment of a certain proportion of the capital had been set apart by the committee of the Churnet and Blythe Company for that Company ; but it had been subsequently recalled by the committee just at the period when the money market became so seriously affected in consequence of the panic. The Committee had, however, determined to proceed upon the intrinsic merits of their line. Meanwhile the Rugby and Man chester Company found that though they had money they had not got everything ready for Parliament. They consequently looked around ; they examined the plans and sections of the Churnet and Blythe, and they found that everything connected with the line was bonci fide, that the expenses hitherto incurred had been kept down to the lowest possible amount, and they did not hesitate to say that this was a most desirable junction to effect. They had made certain propositions, and those proposi tions had been accepted by the committee of the Churnet and Blythe Company, and he had no doubt whatever that they would go to Parliament with every prospect of success. Mr. FAULKNER, before be sat down, in answer to dif ferent shareholders, said he did not know how many shares in the Churnet and Blythe had been issued; nor how much of the deposits paid up. The deeds were out at the present time, so that though he made the inquiry before he left town, he osuld not receive a correct reply. He might, however, state in general terms, that a fourth part of the capital of the Churnet and Blythe had been already paid up, that capital amounting to one million. Mr. HERON again rose and said they had felt it their duty to make All the inquiries which were necessary in order to secure the interests of the shareholders of the line. They had asked what eould be the position of the shareholders if they were to take Churnet and Blythe scrip. They found it would be exactly this—the ex penses incurred by the Manchester and Rugby Company had been ascertained to amount to somewhere about Ba. 6d. per share. The Churnet and Blythe Company's shares were 201. shares, with 403. paid up. They had originally been 251. shares, with 2L 12s. 6d. paid up ; but as the committee had not issued their scrip, they had altered the amount; in order to facilitate the arrangement. The Rugby shares were 201. shares, with two guineas paid. The Rugby shareholders had, consequently, Is. per share on their side, which left the portion of expenses at the sum of 6s. 6d. per share. Now, the Churnet and Blythe Company undertake to bear such an amount of the expenses already incurred, in regard to the Manchester and Rugby, as would be equal to 6s. 6d. per share, on all such shares as come into the arrangement, provided that it doe s n ot exce e d r th ec e e s i ,ne back mof their 10, 00 0/. d e Thosepoaits might r c o h u o n s d en an t d o say, in such a case, there is a chance of there being a m h a su rplus ; what will be done with that? New, this would be a very proper question, if the possibility of its ever occurring could be cr ntemplated. But such a position of circumstances could never occur. It would require that there should be 30,000 shares outstanding, but there were not so many in the Rugby and Manchester ouCom pany, and conseqaently it could not be so.w Consequently such a result, which would be unjust to the shareholders would who bad elected to take their money,not arise. The expenses of the Churnet and Blythe Company had been very light. The whole expenses did not amount to more than between 7,000/. and 8,000/. Mr. FAULKNER—Not more than between 6,000/. and 7,000/. ? Mr. HKRON—The plans had been all deposited by Mr. Locke, and his name alone was was a guarantee for their correctness. The notices had been served, and they had everything ready to go to Parliament, except the capital, which it was proposed to furnish to them by means of this arrangement.—(Applause.) Mr. CHADWICK, Deputy-Chairman of the Churnet and Blythe Railway, then entered into some statements proving the advantages which would arise from the adoption by Parliament of that line, and its superiority over the London and Manchester and North Stafford shire lines. It was, in fact, the best and shortest line to London, its sharpest gradient being 1 in 100, and its lenth only 45+ miles. JOHN HARLING, Esq., and W. BURT, Esq., spoke against the plan proposed; the former stating, on the authority of Mr. William Rawson, an advocate for the scheme, that the Churnet and Blythe line would cost at least 40,000/, while the presence of the North Stafferd shire, supported by the Grand Junction and the London and 13irminghtm, would prevent its deriving any of the through traffic, the latter dwelling upon the fact that several of the provisional committee had not paid up their shares, and suggesting that the question of amal gamasion should be referred to some able and experienced Parliamentary counsel for his advice. After a prolonged conversational discussion, in which Mr. Heron and Mr. Faulkner reminded the meeting that the North Staffordshire had to go to Parliament as well as the Churnet and Blythe, The CHAIRMAN rose, and proposed consecutively three resolutions-Ist, declaring that after the state ments and explanations which had been given to the meeting by the representatives of the Churnet and Blythe Railway Companies, the meeting expressed its intention of uniting the interests of the two Companies. This resolution was carried by a large majori t y , onl y five hands being held up against it. use of the The second resolution carried oat the purp w ai l the second previous motion, and the third ( which ILWAY SH ARE MARKETS.

COURT-MARTIAL AT CHATHAM. At the close of the afternoon parade of the troops at garrison, on Saturday, the 10th inst., under Lieutenant- Colonel Kelly, the provisional battalion was formed into a square in the general parade-ground, for the purpose of hearing the proceedings of a district court-martial held at Chatham barracks on the 6th, upon the trial of Colour-Sergeant William Gordon, No. 220, of the 18th Regiment of Foot, who was arraigned under the follow ing charges :- 1. For disgraceful conduct in having at Chatham, in or about the month of November, 1845, applied to or asked Mr. John Marks, foreman to Mr. Solomon Lucas, outfitter at Chatham, and so sought to obtain from the said Mr. Lucas c. gratuity, fc.r, &racoon., or r o. : —...kage? upon the amount charged to the troops for all articles of regimental necessaries proposed to be furnished by the said Mr. Lucas, for the use of the soldiers of the depot of the 18th Foot. 2. For having at Chatham, in or about the month of December, 1845, bargained or consented to receive from Mr. Lucas, outfitter, at Chatham, a gratuity, fee, dis count, or per tentage on the amount charged to the troops, upon all articles of regimental necessaries and equipments proposed to be supplied by the said Mr. Lucas for the use of the soldiers of the 18th Foot. The Adjutant of the battalion, Lieutenant William Maycock, 61st Regiment. read the proceedings in the presence of the prisoner and the troops ' • and the Court having weighed and maturely considered the evidence in support of the prosecution, decided that the accused has " Not Guilty" of any part of the charges that had been preferred against him, and acquitted him thereof. The same has been approved and confirmed by order of the Commander-in-Chief. On the dispersion of the troops to the barracks, Sergeant Gordon was congratu lated both by the officers and non-commissioned officers of the garrison. In consequence of the above trial, the following bat talion order was issued late on Saturday afternoon last : Jan. 10, 1846—N0. 1. Officers commanding depots are called on to pay unceasing attention to the Queen's regulations and orders for the army regarding , the supplies of necessaries to the men of their respec tive depots, more particularly to articles 29, 34, 35, and 38 ; and they are required to use every means in their power to ascertain that their pay-sergeants do not, in the slightest degree, act contrary to these important re gulations. Any infringement of these orders, which the offi cers may be able to discover, must be reported immediately, it being the determination of the officer commanding the battalion to bring to trial aey pay-sergeant who may be guilty of so serious an offence. In order to prevent not only any clandestine infringement by pay-sergeants of article 38 beforementioned, but to remove any suspi cion of such improper conduct, officers commanding depots are recommended to purchase the necessaries for the men occasionally at different houses, t a ki ng care, on every occasion, that all articles come f urn ished of the best quality and at the lowest prices ; all r equi!it!o v ns t .i i ) e r orders to their tradespeople are to be under an y circum stances commanding depots, and _not a u re nd not to be em ployedstances by the pay-sergeants, wh eayndmui issued e h d e t o care fullyth e an mg epots regarding necessaries. i speop e to bring all articles of will cause their trade ds h e e gf n o e r o v f e a r n y i t as a channel of communication Officers ° eomm on any d occasion Y inspectede theb officers themselves, tradespeople articles, be suchnefcoer neces sary to in their presence. necessaries m sa th e ry n e ptourpseonsde ofm e b n ein t g o t m h e e as h ur e W e u are to be marched there and back duner a non-com missioned officer, not a pay -sergeant, with written in structions for such tradespeople. The p ay -s ergean ts are not, on any occasion whatever, to go the houses or shops of the tradespeo ile who furnish artic!es of neces saries to the depots. Officers commanding depots are referred to No. 6 of the battalion orders of the 24th of March, 1841, and republished at the foot of the morning battalion order of the 10th of November, 1841, regard ing the care and attention to be given by them to par ticular points at the inspection of every shell jacket on the individual before being finally issued to any non commissioned officer or soldier. The constant zeal and attention which is so necessary on the part of officers commanding depots, Colonel Weare feels assured will not be wanting on the part of those serving in the pro visional battalion to enable him to give the fullest effect to the regulations and orders of the army; and to a letter, dated Horse Guards, the 31st of December last, which was real to them in the presence of the Com mandant, regarding the important subject of supplying necessaries to troops, which are so well calculated to give every benefit to non-commissioned officers and men under their command respectively." DESTRUCTION OF A COTTON-SPINNING MILL BY FIRE.—The most destructive fire which has occurred in Glasgow or its vicinity, for several years put, with the ex ception of that which consumed the City Theatre about two months ago, took place yesterday (Friday) morning, in Savoy-street, Bridgton. The workers in the large cotton spinning factory situated in that street, belonging to Messrs. Gemmel!, Brothers, and Co., it appears, had only com menced their labours for the week a short time, when an alarm of fire was raised in the picking-room, and in the course of ten minutes the flames had made such a p_Te gress that they were coming out of the windoTra t ty Tn e alleged cause of the conflagration is, that a quan t i ty we ; loose cotton ignited in the arms of a girl passing one of the gas-lights, althoug h time It was the burner WAS inclosed in a glass-caseh r is r girl the fire was certain, at any rate, that it was near f t t e very combustible first discovered ; and in consequence o . h it spread with great material which it had to pre n v e ueo =',. was n' discovered, the City rapidity.

Th e work of destruction was almost completed by ten o'clock, but the engines continued to throw water upon the burning ruins till sunset. The mill was four stories high, and about 230 feet in length, and it is estimated that the loss on the building and machinery will amo "r wards of 5,0001.
