This Company has been formed for the purpose of conductin g the nationally-Important business of emigration with undeviating pun, teeny, and with the greatest poss•ble security, regularity, and com fort ; and is at the present time carrying out an extensive contract with her Majesty's Government. The position of the port of Southampton, connected or in course of connexion by railway with every part of t;reat Within ; the accommodation and convenience afforded by its docks, its , afety, and facility of egress to the Channel—ships quitting its shelter getting clear of the Isle of Wight in three hours —eminently adapt it for the embarkation of large bodies of passengers, who, in arranging with this Company, wilt be conveyed thither from London free by rail way, instead of having to encounter the sea-passage by the Downs, and the most difficult part of the English Channel, in which navi gation, as is well-known, much del :y and annoyance, and the most serious disasters have from time to Time occurred. It is Intended that the Company's ships shall touch at Plymouth, when necessary, to receive passengers from the south-western counties, and from Ireland ; the latter can join at Plymouth by steam -boats from Cork, Dublin, Belfast, &c., at a very small cost, and an emigration depot, with bedding, cooking apparatus, &c., and tinder proper management, is provided for their reception whilst at Plymouth. The object of the directors will be so to conduct the operations of this Company as to obtain for it the confidence of her Majesty's Government, and of the British public. All particulars may be obtained on application to the General Manager, at the offices of the Company in London or Southampton.

LONDON, SATURDAY NING IUX, E AST'ERN COUNTIES and LONDON and YORK RAILWAYS. Eastern Counties Railway, Shorerlitch Station, London, April 23, 1846. Sir,—The Directors of the Eastern Counties Railway Company de sire Londonhe in e t oG o i f es tl e i d e Directors proposition o . f for d i,o r t k l e c o Rahway consideration at ion Company, andd send, al It has emanated from the consideration by the Eastern Counties Directors of the present state of the money market and of public ec th is e i l feeling, and from the sincere desire that before the expensive contest in Parliament between the Eastern Counties and London and York Companies be again resumed, one furthqr and final effort should be made to give the shareholders of both Companies au united interest under the management of a joint Board of Directors, in constructing such lines into the counties of Hertford, Bedford, Huntingdon, Lincoln, and York, as Parliament shall select and sanction. 'I he proposed Joint Board would necessarily aim at pro moting the interests of the shareholders, in giving preference to par ticular lines over others, and would, of course; him the 'power and the desire to pursue, in reference to the Bills before Parliament of the Eastern Counties and London and York Companies, and in re ference to all competing schemes, such proceedings, as while they defeated or led to the withdrawal of opposition to the lines promoted by the Joint Board should be satisfactory to the Legislature, and advantageous to the public. I am desired to request the favour of an early answer, whether the Directors of the London and York Company accept or reject the proposition.—l am, Sintrour obedient servant, (Signed) Jas. RyderLf r o k wa n t a t il , 7 S , e L er o e t t h y t y u7 Lo . Mon and York 'MET; Sec. Aril 23, Proposition of the East ern C ount i es Company to the Lond n 1846. and York Company : That a Board of Dir ec t ors shall be composed of twelve Eastern Counties Directors and six London and York Directors, who shall have the poo er of determining and fixing upon the line or lines, or portions of lines, far which Bills shall be obtained, and such Board shall continue and be the Board of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, with power to increase the number to twenty-four. hat the works authorised by such Bills shall be constructed with a capital divided into M. shares, and that 108,000 of such shares, with 103. per share credited as paid thereon (being a bonus 0f54,0001. to the London' and York Company), shall be issued to the London and York shareholders, That the t ondon and York shareholders shall retain and divide amongst them their own deposits less their own expenses. Thlit the said capital shall be Eastern Counties capital, and shall divide all profits from the new lines and the existing Eastern Counties lim , s along with the capital of the Eastern Counties and Northern and Eastern'Compardes. That the Eastern Counties shares of 141. 16s. shall be credited with a bonus of 4s. eaeh, so as to become 151. shares, and that the Northern and Eastern shareholders shall have a corresponding bonus. That the Eastern Counties Company shall, if decided upon by such new Board of Directors, be called the Great Northern and Eastern Company. London and York Railway, Offices, 7, Lothbury, 29th April, 1846. TO C. P. RONEY, ESQ., SECRETARY TO THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. Sir,—The Directors of the London and York Railway havd had before them the offer of the Eastern Counties Company, dated the 23d, transmitted in your letter of the same date, received on the 24th instant, containing in substance the following terms : Ist. The formation of a combined Board, consisting of twelve Eastern Counties' Directors, and six London and York Directors, who shall determine which of the lines shall be promoted, and which abandoned. 21 That the London and York Stock of 501. shall, share for share, be converted into 151. shares in the Eastern Counties Extensions, on which 10s. shall be credited-4s. being credited on the existing Eastern Counties Shares, thus reducing the preference to 65., instead of leo. In reply to which, I am desired to inform you that the Directors observe —that the Stock offered by the second proposition is precisely the Balm as the Eastern Counties Extension Stock, now selling in the market at about the same price as London and York Shares ; there is, therefore, no temptation in a pecuniary point of view con tained in this offer. Ii the Eastern Counties Company had proposed to give an interest in their existing stock, upon which they are re ceiving dividends, the Loudon and York Directors could understand its pecuniary advantages. But what do they propose to give ? Shares wholly dependant upon the passing of a Bill which Parliament is not likely to sanction in 1846, having rejected it in 1845. What security is there in this proposition to the London and York Shareholders? Not half so much as they now possess in their own Shares; for if Parlia ment does not sanction the Cambridge Extension Lines, the Stock offered becomes mere waste paper. The first proposition necessarily involves the abandonment of the London and York Line. The Eastern Counties Board having so constantly denounced that line, and having steadily contended for the sufficiency of the Cambridge lines, would, without doubt, I;)r the ma jority of twelve to six thus given them, determine to abandon the first, and prosecute only the latter. With every desire to mamalgamation , eet t t ,g h n e m E a as tie M n rn , th C e ou L n o t n iesi de C n o u m nd pa y n n y r , k and concert equitable terms of Di rectors, cannot regard the proposals now made, as containing even any pecuniary inducements to commit the suicidal act of accepting them. The offer is, indeed,. only a l tw a reiteration tb eo of accompaniedt l mad b ybyMar. threatH udso f , on the 3d December last. appeal to the Shareholders, against the Directors, should they yen ture to refuse it. The Directors did unanimously refuse It —as an nounced to Mr. Hudson, by the letter of Mr. Astell, the Chairman, on the 16th December—and the Shareholders as unanimously ratified that refusal, by subsequently signing the Parliamentary deeds au thorising the present renewed application to Parliament. The threatened appeal to the Shareholders was not then made; but it seems that the present state. of the money market, and the failure of every other means of opposition, have induced the Eastern Counties Company now to make the attempt. The London and York Directors allude to the published correspon dence b •tween Mr. Joseph La Alert, as Chairman of a Committee advertised to meet in Size-lane, and the Eastern Counti Company: besides the fact, that Mr. La Mart is not a subscriber to o t he London and York deed, but was lately, if not at present, a great holder of Eastern Counties stock, the Directors would refer to that correspon dence, and ask whether it is probable that any parties honestly de siring to serve the London and York Shareholders would, instead of stating their opinions and feelings confidently to their own Directors, advertise for an organised disunion in the Company itself, before proposing to make terms with its antagonist. The Directors of the London and York Company would suggest to the Eastern Counties Board, to consider whether such a course of proceeding is what ought to be adopted by Directors towards each other, or is likely to conduce to the good understanding which the Eastern Counties Company profess to desire. For the present, they consider the offer made, accompanied by anvi l an agency, to be an unworthy mode of attempting to dissolve the London and York Company, and to deprive the Shareholders of those advantages which their present position secures to them; and the Directors have, therefore, no hesitation in rejecting it. In conclusion, the Directors inst ruc t me to state, that under a sincere anxiety to promote au amicable understanding between the two Companies, and to save the expense of a costly contest in Par liament, they are quite ready, by a deputation, to discuss the terms iipon which a general amalgamation can hereafter be safely accom plished, under the condition that the London and York scheme, in all its integrity, ue carried into effect. I am, Sir, your obedient, humble servant, J. R. MOWATT, Secretary, Eastern Counties Railway, Shoreditch, May 1, 1846. Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 29th ult. The Bills for the extension lines of the Eastern Counties Company were not rejected last sessions, as most incorrectly stated in that letter. The case of the Eastern Counties Company was never even heard. The Committee of the House of Lords will in this session have ample time to hear that case, and the evidence in opposition to the London and York Railway, and the Directors of the Eastern Counties Company are perfectly confident as to the result. The Directors of the London and York Company have attempted to ridicule and contemn the Reports on Railways of the Board of Trade made last year. It has still to be decided, however, whether the report of the Board of Trade which rejected the London and York Rail way was not essentially correct. The decision on that question will probably leave the London and York Directors cause to regret that they have again refused the large sacrifices which the Eastern Counties Company were willing to make in order to bring the expen sive Parliamentary contest to an amicable termination, beneficial to the public. The Eastern Counties Company will never be parties to consent to the passing of the London and York Railway Bill in all its integrity ; and, therefore, your proposition for deputations of the two Companies to meet upon that basis is rejected. The Directors of the Eastern Counties Railway Company have always stated what they sincerely believe, that, if that Bill "in its integrity" be passed, the under taking will be ruinous to all concerned, and their opinion is not altered but confirmed by the circumstance that the London and York Directors have now arranged, as' publicly repqrted, with other par ties, that they shall contribute to the risks and losses of fhe London and York Company. If the London and York Railway be, in the view of its Directors, so excellent and remunerative a concern, it is strange indeed that they should (to use the language of Mr. Astelrs advertisement) be making arrangements to "diminish individual responsibility," and that they should announce that they will have to resort to management and financing to keep off calls until the spring of next year, when money matters may be worse instead of being better 'ban they are at present. Companynow to rtenfer theirt o letter th e liberal offer b e m 2 all ci e ofbyAptrihle; Easasttehnatl Counties he offer has not been accepted by the London arid York Directors I ani desired to state that it is entirely withdrawn. If the shar,e holders of the London and York Company, consulting their own in terests, appreciate it better than the Directors, who, evidently, from the, erroneous reasoning, are determined not to see its large pecuniary advantages to the London and York proprietors, this Board will certainly not be deterred b 3 any language such as is re sorte to in your letter, or Mr. Astell's advertisement, from holding shall el proveuni eat themselveson s with a t n o y b re se representatives ta b t o i v d e y s of of a g e e t e n e i numberwh o pshroaprerhto3l.de‘rysitntgoreninttheerfneerdet to the wbeifebthtbeeiry Were of London and York shareholders. It is no new thi for the th u e nd MerantakaignegTeitnit engaged, and contrary to the wishes of di rectors, who may become inunaveable in wrong opinions ; l and they are as well entitled to attei tion as directors tem Important, and their proceedings when their number Is large and of the Bastem Counties Coin uany s tu re t s h p e ettl ei . r As regards the letter of the London and York shareholders, vehici:nalTPuottetnlitt Committeen your Directors so much uneasiness, it is before the pt.blic., has given judge best whether it be poper communication and respectful to the London and York Board. There is not the slightest regret on the part of the Eastern Counties' Board 'hat such a letter was written. In conclusion, I have only to unfairness hat, for ond time, your Board has been guilty of the of Publishingg your an swers without the communications of the Eastern Counties Company, to which they were replies. This letter, together with mine to you of the 23d ultimo, will of course receive the same publicity as you have givdn to your answer of the 29th ultimo. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, (signed) C. P. RONEY, Secretar J. 11. Mow att, Esq., Secretary, Loud on and York Railway, y. 7, Lothbury. LONDON AND YORK SHAREH OLDERS AA In the menths of November and December last I warned yo t be cautious in signing new deeds, and incurring heavy li a b ilities. You declined to take my advice. The deeds have been signed, and the learned Crown lawyers have determined that they are binding upon the subscribers, and that the old subscription contract is also valid. Which subscribers will have the pleasure of being sued for calls if the Bi.l should pass is, therefore, yet to be known 1 lam thankful to say that I parted with my shares, but I cannot help thinking of those whom I have left in misery, and opening their eyes to that which will cause an extraordinary consternation amongst them, and which has been discovered from a very recent comparison of the two deeds to which a public , print directed my attention. The London and York Company has always had 0. , e Chairman. William Astell, Esq., M.P., and two Vice-Chairmen, Edward Beckett Denison, Esq., M P., and Francis Mowatt, Esq. All shareholders will, doubtless, to this day be under the impression that these im portant personages—the three heeds of the company—these leaders and guides to the investments of others in the London and York Railway will be at present very large holders of the company's stock. It will necessarily be the opinion of all, that the stake originally taken by each in the company is still held ; and that their scheme having obtained the sanction of the House of Commons last session, the investments of each, would, from confidence in its merits and remu nerative character, be largely incrersed. .. . w h il a u t t foll h o a w t s i : the original deed India Company, and a L ondon merchant, s_t •i n v e il f i a ia ct in ?

But even in this respect he has been cautious and wise, for who can doubt that the 75 shares were sold at a premium of probably 31. per share, being half the highest premium London and York shares reached, In which ease Ins account as the chief !ender in the expenditure of your money will stand as follows - -Paid, 1251. ; received, 225/. • balance in his favour, 100'. of c l ear gain.

COPIAPO MINING ComPANY.—On Thursday a special general meeting of this company was held at the offices in Austin friars, Henry Harman, Esq., in the chair. From the report it ap peared that there was an improvement in the aspect of the company's affairs, the produce at the silver mine of Pampa Large, during the months of October and November, having been sufficient to defray the chargeseand held eat prospects of being for some time profitable. The produce of the copper mines of San Pedro and Checo had also increased, whilst the ore had improved in quality. Since the last meeting 377 tens of copper ore had arrived, 276 tons of which were sold at Swansea, and realised 18/. I9s. 6d. per ton. Another cargo of 270 tons had not yet arrived, and 450 tons were loading at Coptaao in January last. After the report had been adopted, a vote of thanks was Passed to the chairman and directors, when the meeting ad. °timed. ALLEGED FORGERIES.—On Thursday information was circulated throughout the police district that a forged cheque for 101., drawn upon Sir C. Scott and Co.'s bank, in Cavendish-square, had been uttered to Mr. Vickers, landlord of the Life Guardsman public house, Knightsbridge by a person, who represented himself to be an officer of the Life Gn ards. He is described as about twenty-seven years of age, live hset eight or nine Inched high, of fair complexion, and light hair, with mustachios. VERY LIKE BRARA3I.--I Was ORM in the theatre• royal of a large city where the principal vocalist, for such an extc.nr sive establishment, was mediocre indeed. The house was miserably attended. The singer advanced to the front lights, hat in hand, 8 14,1 evidently imagined that he was no small beer. After the first verse, whilst the musicians were playing the symphony, an urchin nom the upper gallery thrust his wicked head through the rails, and the still ness of the house rendering his juvenile voice audible and distinct. " Mr. IS., Mr. 8.," cried the joking ` youngster, and the vocalist looked aloft as bland as man could do. " Mr. 8.," continued the eintnyo wag, " Mr. 8., you put me very much in mind of Mr. Braham."

Now Bacchus, as we all know, was the early conqueror of India, a kind of foreshadowing; of the East India Company ; and do we suppose that in the very land of dyes, where blue and black divinities are in fashion, and where the people think it marvellous proper to stain their hands and feet with henna, he would have allowed his hair to retain its pristine yellowness, had he not been convinced that no other hue was so becoming to his complexion ? Therefore, oh ! in habitants of the boxes, cease to dread the effect of the bouton d'or curtains. Let Guido's picture over the stage remind you of Aurora, and Lucile Grahn's pas de Bacchante (if she) dances it) remind you of Bacchus—to say nothing of authorities in the shape of amber-coloured boudoirs, dm. Supposing the case, that to certain dull habiliments, the curtains are unfavourable--is it necessary that the sombre attire should remain in fashion for an entire season? Berlin guardsmen had portraits of Fanny Elssler painted on their pipes ; French ladies of the revolutionary period wore chapeaux a /a guillotine; a certain sort of fans, us e d i n th e days of Mas ur i er , the famous Jocko, recorded his triumphs by exhibiting the various colours of the ape. What has not set a fashion ? And now it would surely be worth while for dressmakers to set their heads together, and escogitate, colours that may stand in relief against the gold curtains. There is an old proverb about Mahomet going to the moun tain when the mountain would not come to Mahomet. Turn we to the physical world. Whence did experimen talists derive tlreir first knowledge of the electric fl uid n ? Why, they found that amber, when warm, had a power of attracting light substances. This was the first revelation ; and from the Greek word iiXestrpov, is the word " electri city " derived. Here is a whole department of science founded on the attractive powers of amber. And shall the amber curtains that so vividly represent the hue of the mineral, prove repulsive to the hearts of the habitues—which being hearts free from care, are light substances par excel lence. After a while, to be sure, the bits of feather, &c., being fully electrified, were found to start back from the amber. gut these curtains are new, friends, these curtains are new, and the period of satietycannot yet have approached, At present, therefore, they must attract, or a physical ab surdity will be symbolised. Moreover, what colour could be substituted? An ancient metaphysician proved that anything that is not something, must be something else, and hence the curtains if they be not gold colour, must be of some colour which is net like gold. Hang up your boxes with red, and make the whole interior of the Opera-house look like Judge Jeffrey's court during the " Red Assize," and nothing will be more heavy. Blue will be cold and cheerless. Green will be as unpleasant to the eyes, as its superabundance is the pictures of an unskilful landscape painter. Run over the list of colours, and you will find you must return to the theory of the paintings in the gilt frames, and allow the bouton d'or to maintain its place. Therefore, to go back to the point whence we started-- heed no rumours about chromatic transformations, but resist them as an obstinate player on the horn proverbially resists the conductor of an orchestra. The bouton d'or is firmly fixed, and neither Atlas, who carried the world on his shoulders, nor the monkey Harman, who carried a rock on the tip of his tail, can remove it from its place. THE ADMIRALTY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Whenever the interests of the navy are concerned, it has always called forth from your pen a love of justice, and the warmest concern for the welfare of that service ; these circumstances induce me to make a few remarks on the late appointment of Commodore Sir F. Collier to the command of the Experimental Squadron, in the hope that your talented and independent paper may remark upon it. The Admiralty have certainly manifested wisdom and die. cernment in the appointment of that officer, but at the same time they have pro c l a i me d t o th e wor ld, that out of two hundred admirals they cannot find one capable of taking charge of a squadron ; how these admirals will endure the insult and partiality display ed is another question. Be this as it may, it proves bey on d uoubt that the system of patron age which predominates at the Admiralty is bad and dis gusting. Need you proof ? Turn to Haltour's new Navy List. Look at the columns of the periods of promotion, of the different grades, and also the services of the different officers; couple this with the millions spent in altering, and building ships. If anything will come home to the, under standings of the public, surely this wilL There is only oie consolation for this, insulted public, and the majority of officers composing the navy—that public bodies, however corrupt, quail under the influence of the press and public opinion.— I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, A LOVER OF JUSTICE.

PLUNDERING OF THE MAIL BAGS, agc- Letters have been received containing the announcement of the total loss of the brig Falco, on the coast of New Zealand, and an attack made on the unfortunate crew and plundering the cargo by the natives. The Falco, it appears, sailed from Boston in the early part of last year, on a trading voyage to the islands of the Pacific, having on board the. new American Consul for New Zealand. She touchedfo foll o wing ob n woai h nr er gd way at Swan River, King George's Sound, and Adelaide, prospero an u c s adm,s v eh o: o a n ge, to New gawai where, in the and then proceeded, after a Zealand.

Having hemmed in the captain and officers on the quarter-deck, and threatened them with violence if they offered any resistance, they broke open the hatches, and, getting into the hold, commenced plundering everything that was valuable. They opened the mail-bage and boxes, and scattering their contents in the hold, ob tained all the Government dispatches, which they tore up and otherwise destroyed. One European was seen opening what seemed to be a private letter, and robbing it of its contents, which appeared to be money and bank notes, and several others imitated his example. They afterwards began to strip the vessel, tearing off the copper, cutting thesheathing, stancheons, bulwarks, and destroying the hull in every part with pole-axes. It was quite evident to all the respectable Europeans in the neighbourhood, that the whole work of destruction and piracy was a preconcerted plot between the whites and the natives, and that unquestionably the chief blame was to be attributed to the former, who seemed to vie with each other in their outrages. The American con su l _ f contrived, at the onset, to escape, with a large am oun t specie and papers of great va lu e, which he had charge of , and distance along obtain security in a gentleman's house, som e - the beach. Some few days afterwards an attac k was threat ened- to posslsa themselves of the treasure, but by the natives their nefarious plans were frustrated by a bum ber of a rm ed gent, lemen who, with about tw o hundred, g uarded the place the consul and u ntil the ar r ival of vessel to t ake night and day, and the officers an d crew of theFalco to the ir destination. The wreck was subsequently burnt. Mn. AND MRS. GERRARD AGAIN.—At the Monet Bellew petty sessions, on Friday, Mr. and Mrs. Gerrard had upwards of thirty tenants on another gentleman's estate summoned for "malicious trespass." It appears from the witness that the cattle of these tenants strayed into a bottomfield (marsh) belonging to the above celebrated parties, and for this they claimed the penalties, not under the ordinary trespass law, but the pains and penalties im p osed for " malicious trespass." The defendant proved that Mr. Gerrard had no meting, and that he requested him to join them in making one. A highly respectable gentleman swore "that he itrp t i l e ja n t ;' drove his gig and horse over the stream and boundary, and t ate (the was quite insufficient to keep out any beast." T" magistrate no small Hon. M. French, R. 11.), dismissed the complaints with degree of indignation. —Roscommon Journal.

Even as gold—actual gold—the gold whereof,' say our spelling-books, "guineas and half-gu ineas are mader=ii asserts its superiority over all other metals, so shall the seeming gold of the curtains proudly triumph over every , re bellious hue that would interfere with its dominion. Bid, deeply blushing at its own presumption, shall slink from the field; green., though it surveys the gold with jealous eyes, shall avoid the contest; white shall remain pallid inthe back ground; blue, looking at itself—that is, looking blue— shall not attempt to dispute the supremacy ; black of course would never think of raising a question about the matter ; and as for all the hybrid shades that arise from the intermar riage of the rebellious colours, they shall retire with their re spective parents. For, indeed, why should the gold curtains be displaced'? To gold. as we have hinted, belongs the supremacy of natural right.

The house, newly decorated, is the most splendid theatre in the world, and, therefore, itis consistently adorn, d with the most lordly colour in the world —a colour, which, at the same time, delicately symbolises the ready cash, that has bern expended in the improvement. But, say some, will not the gold curtains counteract the effect which the ladies ought to prtduce, by the joint efforts of their loveliness and their dressmakers? We are not sure that we ought to condescend to answer this objection, seeing that we set forth in our very last number that the gold curtains were to be considered as so many frames, inclosing a number of beautiful pictures. Nevertheless, we will not content 'ourselves with a reference to the April New Mth l .Y, but will bring forward a new strong authority, no other than the goddess Aurora herself. Homer tells W....
