As might have been expected very many failed in their pro ()Tess, but still so many were found prepared in every respect, that it was feared too many might pass through every stage which it was sup• posed would, in the altered state of the money market, in the more sombre aspect of railway pro 5, ects, gladly have been withdrawn by the great body of the shareholders, if an option were afforded to them of expressing their opinion for that purpose. Accord ingly a new Bill was brought forward and its nature and provisions stated just before the Easter recess. This Bill was received with almost unanimous appro bation throughout the country. It fully recognized the principle of letting the persons interested decide for themselves as to whether they would still proceed with the measure, and if a majority of the scripholders should decide to the contrary, then that the concern should be forthwith wound up, the assets of the company vested in an official assignee or trustee, and that, after ascertaining the liabilities of the company, that the amount of the deposits should be returned, less the fair expenses already incurred, to the parties entitled thereto. This just and wise provision effectually got rid of the legal difficulties that existed in the way of the disso ration of any company, it having previously been in the power of any single shareholder to interpose his individual will, and to prevent such a dissolution, although anxiously desired by a vast majority of his associates. Some improvements were introduced into this proposed Bill after Easter, as to the numbers necessary to vote at a meeting, and the scale of voting, which was made to be in conformity with the Joint--took Companies Regulations Act of last session. Tbis,kowever, was not thought in itself sufficient ; true it was that it gave the shareholders the power of dissolving the company, but it required active steps to be taken by them, expressive of their desire for such a result. It was felt that difficulties might be thrown in their way, and that they might be unable to express their opinion in the manner required by the Bill, before the concern in which they were interested had received the final sanction of the Legislature. Accordingly, a new check was interposed : resolutions were adopted as sessional orders, which required that active steps on the part of the general body of the proprietary should be taken to show that they w ere st ill convinced of the prudence, of the • a d. of the undertaking, and exp ress i ve vantages its continued progress.

This is a great example given by England to the world. Other nations, to be sure, are not in a condition to enact such sweeping mea sures ; but the impulse is given, and one day or other her example must be followed." The writer of this article does full justice to the motives of Sir ROBERT PEEL in bringing forward this great question, and concludes by saying—" If he is to fall, it will be after having accomplished a task which will secure to him a most prominent place in the history of his country."

The overland mail from India and China arrived on the 22d ult., with dates from China to the 28th March, Singa pore to the 7th, Calcutta to the 7th, Madras to the 14th, and Bombay to the 15th April. The accounts differ but little from those received last month, and there was no improve ment in the value of British manufactures. By the steamer from Halifax, we have dates from New York to the 15th ult., by which we regret to learn that war has already commenced between the United States and Mexico, and we fear this will derange commerce materially, should any of the European Powers interfere. Indeed, under any circumstances, commerce will suffer more or less for a time, but if left to themselves, we hope and trust it will soon be terminated. In looking to the Parliamentary returns of the last fifteen years, we find that the United States have imported of British manufactures to the annual value of 7,500,0001. on an average, and that Mexico has taken an nually to the amount of 400,0001. on an average of those fifteen years.

'EATH OF LORD WODEHOUSE--Th. above Noble Lord expired suddenly on Friday last, at Kimberley Park, Norfolk, to the inexpressible grief of a large circle of relatives and friends. W. are given to understand that the health of the Noble Lord had been on the decline for some months previous, but nevertheless his dissolution was not anticipated from any previous symptoms. From his indifferent health the Noble Lord had for the last two years partially ab stained from taking an active part in public affairs, and al though there is reason to believe that his Lordship agreed with the views of the Government, he did not repair to the metropolis to give the Corn Bill his personal support. Ile was a decided Conservative in politics. The deceased John Wodehouse, Baron Wooehouse, of Kimberley, county Nor folk, in the kterage of Great Britain, and a baronet, was eldest son of John, first Lord of Wodehouse. by Sophia, only daughter and heir of Mr. Charles Berkeley, brother of John, fifth Lord Berkeley of Stratton, which title is now extinct. He was born Jan. 11, 1771, and married 18th Nov., 1796, ' Miss Charlotte Laura Norris, only daughter and heiress of Mr. John Norris, of Wilton parish, Norfolk, who died about two years back. By his marriage he had issue six sons and five daughters, several of whom survive their noble parent. The deceased Lord was Lord-Lieutenant for the county of Nor folk, and Vice-Admiral of that Coast, and also Colonel of the East Norfolk militia. He is succeeded in the hereditary title and extensive family estates in Norfolk by his grandson, Mr. John Wodehouse, eldest son of the late Hon. Henry Wodehouse, by Anne, only daughter of Mr. 'l'. T. Gordon, and now in his 21st year. DARTMOUTH PATENT SALT COMPANY.—The annual general meeting of the proprietors of this company was held yesterday, but the proceedings being strictly of a private nature the press were excluded. CITY LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION.—OR Monday evening, the twenty-first anniversary of this insti tution was celebrated by a festival in the lage reom of the London Tavern, under the auspices of Mr. Grote, the presie dent, and author of the recently published History of Greece.

The library cOntained upwards of 10,000 volumes, and was promptly supplied with the approved literature of the day. In every department of the institution there was the most healthful progress, and if the directors appealed to the public for assistance at the present moment, it was from no pecuniary embarrasetnent felt by them in conducting its Affairs, but rather to enable them to extend their building, which the unexampled prosperity of the society had rendered indi-pensable. Mr. Stachy, the secretary, read a list of con tributors to this fund, including the following : —Mr. Grote, I the president, 100 guineas; Mr. Loyd, 50 guineas; Mr. Gilbert, 50 guineas; Mr. G. Prescott, 211.; Mr. J. Prescott, '271 ; Mr. J. Reisley, 211.; Mr. Paulson, 10 guineas; Lord Ashburton, 10 guineas; Mr. G. Howell, 121. 10s. ; Mr. Om mante.y, lilt. ; alr. Henderson, lot. ; and several other smaller sums amounting to about 500/. The meeting was ably ad oressed by Mr. Wyse, M.P., Mr. Milnes, M.P., Mr. Gilbert, Mr. Prescott, and several of the other guests present, and the intervals were agreeably enlivened by a vocal party under the direction of Mr. Shoubridge, Miss Thornton, &c. It is needless to add that the exertions of Mr. Harker, the toast master, as well as the delicacies provided by Messrs. Bathe and Breach, were properly appreciated. - A mysterious pi isoner has been for some time con fined in the fortress of Konigstein, in Saxony. It is supposed that (. it h E e 3i t o i I R I N b E e e G x A i l e ß d p t E o N A s nt — el ‘tih c h a otil to be Tyssoweki. the last Dictator of Warsaw.

The attractions were various, and so rapid in succession, that no awkward pauses or intervals were left for dulness or delay. There was archery ; an excellent band, under the conduct of M. Laurent, was in attendance, and a variety of minor amusements kept the throng in good hu mour, until the ascent of Mr. Green and another gentleman in the Albion balloon at a quarter before seven o'clock. The ascent was a splendid one ; the sky was clear and the wind high ,• the balloon rose with great rapidity, and when at a considerable height, and at the distance of about a mile from the gardens, a monkey descended in a parachute after the man ner of the celebrated Garnerin, and landed safe. Then came wonder o ofr In attest, ogfe.l:l”erwrhNnicoelxoh,cialilteedd, whah t so w m a e s tru te t r h m , ‘ e ' d th a s Tonneau-roulant," and after him a Signor Paddingtoni on the slack rope. To them succeeded vocal musicians, Creole choristers, and subFequently a most amusing exhibition, by miniature living artists, of the " Poses Plastiques," in which twenty infentine performers. represented Trojan warriors, graces, gladiators, and other things equally interesting. A panoramic view of the city of Boston was introduced. An invisible poet recited verses, and told fortunes, and fireworks in the best manner concluded the bill of fare. The gardens are in the best order, and, what is more to the purpose, the proprietors have taken care that nothing disorderly shall arise. There are all the app liances for mirth, good humour, and the diversion of the public, whilst everything that can tend to confusion, noise, vulgarity, and indecency, has been effectually guarded against. An effective body of police was provided by the proprietors to guard against the interrup tions of the too boisterous holiday makers, and to preserve decorum. The whole of the roams in the house, upwards of torty in number, are elegantly furnished. There is a com modious coffee-room, and a banqueting-room, in which 1,000 persons can be entertained, a t heal re, a gallery for music, &c., all fitted up with good taste by Mr. Hurtwitz, of Brydges street, Covent-garden, and an excellent commis sariat department, under the management of Mr. Ellis, whose reputation as e public caterer is already established. BRITISH MUSEUM.—This nationtl institution had its a\ *'age number of visitors on Monday ; and, considering the fineness of the weather, with the numerous out-door attractions, more than could reasonably have been expected, 20,571 persons having viewed the collection, all of whom passed through without tiny instance of robbery or disorderly conduct. The police force, consisting of twelve constables, of the A division, under the superintendence of Sergeants Reason and Biekerson, was admirably conducted.

WOOLWICH, JUNE I.—The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty having ordered a comparative trial to be male to ascertain the speed of three new boats, re-ently built for service as mail packets on the Dover station, the trial was made on Saturday last, and the following is given from impartial parties, who were present during the whole time : Dover, May 31.—A most extraordinary trial of speed took place yesterday, between three of her Majesty's steam packets, Garland, Onyx, and Violet, the former being of wood, and the latter two iron. The Garland, under the able command of Capt. Stnithett, and Onyx, Lieut.-Com. Mudge, left Dover at seven o'clock, A.M., the latter having the mail and passengers for Ostend. Cap tain Mercer, Royal Navy, Superintendent of her Ma• jeaty's Packets on this station, beingordered by the Ad ratty for this purpose on board the Garland. Off Dunkirk these vessels were met by the Violet, Captain Sherlock, who curie out of Ostend to meet them, and to return with the others. At this time, about ten o'clock, the ' Garland had gone by and distanced the Onyx about a mile and a half. The great trial of strength then was to beat the Violet, and although there was a decidk d superiority in this vessel over the Onyx, the Garland in less than three quarters of an hour was far enough ahead of the Violet to be able to cross her bows. After this a second trial was made. The Violet altered her trini, but in this the Gar land showed a still greater superiority ; and in a third trial it was conclusive that Garland could beat. Violet about one third of a mile an hour, and Onyx half a mile •n hour. The Garland returned from Ostend to Dover this day in three hours fifty-five minutes, which is by frr the quickest ever known, and has established herself as b the fastest steamer in England. The Garland also fell in with the Queen of the Bel gians, the fastest of the South-Eastern Ra,m,gate steamers, and went round her in less than a quarter of an hour.

NV RESTLINC. — On Monday the a lmirers of the ancient , style of wrestling were gratified at Chalk Farm; several celebrated men contended for the prizes. Much dissatisfaction having arisen among the artisans engaged in the production of the Llama Clo:h in the West of England, by reason of a rumour that it was the intention of the Messrs.

The settling for the Derby and Oaks took place yes terday, and, as we anticipated. went off pleasantly. The only great winners were Mr. Gully and his friends, to the extent. it is said, of 40 0001., in addition to the two stakes, which exceed 9.0001. There were a few losers of from 1,0001. to 4,0001., but the bulk of the money has come from the pockets of the backers of horses—i.e., "the public," wh.), like the eels, are " used to it," and suffer quietly. Paying and receiving was not brought to a close until nearly half-past six o'clock. A little betting took place afterwards, at the following prices THE EMPEROR'S VASE. 7 to 2 agst Mr. Greville's Alarm 7 to 1 agst Mr. G. H.

IBRAHIM PACHA.—Orders were received at Havre, en Saturday last, from the French Government, to select a pilot with a perfect knowledge of the coasts of England, for the guidance of the vessel which is to conduct Ibrahim I'acha from France. The pilot so selected has been sent to Cherbourg, where the Gomer, the vessel destined for this service, is now lying. The Gomer will proceed immediately to Dieppe. to be placed at the disposition of the Prince, who, it is expected, will embark at that port for England. RAILWAY FROM ROUEN TO HAVRE.—The Conseil of the Fonts et Chauss4ea has decided that the Melaunay viaduct shall be submitted to a strong proof to ascertain if the system adopted by the Company is likely to en sure itfrom accidents arising from defective construction. This proof will consist of a weight of 3,000 kilogrammes being placed on each square metre on the surface of the viaduct, and a train passing over it at the speed of about 30 kilometres in an hour, which is something about 20 English miles an hour. Although the masonry of this viaduct appears to be sufficiently solid, yet it is thought a proof like that contemplated will cause the defects, it any. to betray themselves. TURN-OUT OF CARPENTERS IN FRANCE.—The work ing carpenters of Havre have recently addressed a cir cular letter to the Mayor, and to the masters and con tractors, in which they declare that after the Ist of June they will insist upon their wages heir g raised from three francs to three franca and a half per day. From this circular we extract the following information, which may be useful, as showing the prices of labour with thi , description of artizans in various parts of France. The carpenters of Havre are paid three francs per day, and furnish their tools, estimated at twenty-five centimes per day ; tho-e of Rouen have three francs per day also, but they have their tools furnished, and have the use of the refuse wood upon which they work; those of Paris have five francs per day, and furnish no tools. Ship-carpenters work from six to six, every quarter of an hour over is paid at forty cen times, half an hour at one franc, and an hour and a half at one franc twenty-five centimes. The working day at Rouen is from six to six ; that at Havre from five to seven o'clock. THE TEN HOURS BILL. MANCHESTER, SATURDAY NIGHT.—This evening a numerous meeting of the Lancashire Central Short Time Committee was held for the transaction of business. In the c.urse of the evening the following letter was read from Lord Ashley " London, May 27, 1846. a t G p e o l e e r m a e n n d , gre " majority of three s uccessive d in eba a te4, ous o e f Gentlemen,—After three ng of the session. he honour to introduce at the beginning of four hundred Members, rejected the Bill ' which I had t" Although not a victory, it is the next thing to one. Every person that I have spoken to concurs in this opinion, and all s..em to be convinced that zeal, judg ment, and perseverance among the operative classes cannot fail of eventual and speedy success. Consider the vast superiority you enjoyed in the debate, and the complexion of the minority. I neither think nor speak with disrespect of the parties who opposed us ; but we are Rot exctediog the limits of propriety when we seek to derive consolation and encouragement from the moral and social authority of those who gave us their support. " It is become evident, from the language held by ' some of your opponents, that the fear of being obliged to expend more capital, and call a larger num ber of hands into employment, lies at the bottom of much of their resistance. That demand, nevertheless, is most just. The manufacturers summon the laded interest to improve the c,ndition of their people by a more abundant and costly cultivation of the soil. I heartily concur with them. The agriculturists reply by inviting the manufacturers to do the same for their workmen, in the erection of additional machinery, and a fair distribution of labour. " Persevere, therefore, in the full sense of the justice of your cause. " I have never entertained, at any time, so strong an assurance as I do this day that we shall soon, by God's blessing, attain the object of our toils and hopes. I urge you, by every comsideration of yourselves and of your children, to redouble your efforts ; and so far as any human being can presume to anticipate futurity ; I may promise, on my part, an unyielding determination in the pursuit of this your great and undeniable right. " I am, gentlemen, your sincere friend and servant, " ASHLEY. " To the Short Time Committees of Lancashire and Yorkshire."

LYCEUM. A piece de cis criastance, entitle d the , Dustman's Belk, was produced here on M , nday with complete success. It is founded on en ineidi nt which occurred a short time sint.e in the neighb , urhood of Islington, which is, douhtle's, in the recollection of many . of our readers. We allude to the fact of a dustman having unexpectedly inherited an immense fortune, and having expended a large sum in continual treats to his fellow workmen. This fortunate dustman is the hero of the drama ;_ called Ned Windfall, and is personated by Mr. Keeley. In his days of dustmanship and innocence he had plighted his faith to Sally Broomly (Mrs. Keeley). She was the dustman's belle ; but, having ceased to be a dustman, he all but forgets his belle, having been led by Morgan Rattler (Mr. F. Vining), a scamp uprorious, and Jacob Goodman (admirably acted by Meadows), a scamp Banc' timonious, into all sorts of debauchery, and plundereattled by them of some portions of his wealth. Rr wishes to inveigle the dustman into a marriage with his sister, Susan Rattler (Miss Villars), but Good man, who is a suitor for the hand of the fair Susan, exposes to her the machinations of which it is intended that Ned Windfall shall become the victim. She is the devoted friend of Sally, and by her appeals to Windfall's better feelings, she revives his affection for his old sweetheart, and the Dustmans Belie is made happy, while Susan herself becomes the wife of Mr. Circuit (Mr. Diddear), the attorney, throug h whose instrumentality Windfall was first made aware of his good fortune. The piece was admirably acted, an d the applause was most enthusiastic. Mr. and Mrs' Keeley and Miss Villars were called for at the fall of th e curtain. The houce wn‘ A new drama of interest, entitled The Flitting Dal' was produced here on Monday evening. The plot 1110 Y be judged by the title. We have the old character s --0 father farmer, ruined by bad crops, acted Miss Vincent: who, after being exposed to all sorts of trials a " temptations, is rewarded with the hand of rich 0 titled lover ; a villain uncle, who would fain sell her to a roué seducer, both of whom, at the fall of the curtain, are brought to condign punishment. These are old Ft' terials, but they are well put together ; and the pe? is, moreover, admirably acted. The audience were 10 extacies of delight ; and The Flitting Day will continue flit for many nights, before it finally flits in reality. The house was crammed. ASTLEY'S. The Seikh Invasionror - ,0u; Indian Victories of IM 6, is the title of the grand spectacle which Mr. Batty bio got up for the amusement of his Whitsuntide patrons, and a most gorgeous spectacle it is.
