To the Scripholders and Subscribers to the Deed of the above Company A Committee of Shareholders in the London and York Railway has been formed, with the view of considering the prospects of ties line, and whether anything call be done to lessen the responsibility of the Sharoholders, or in any way improve their position. The - Committee view with alarm the daily deprechiti a which is taking place in the market in the shares of all new lines, and that this depreciation increases in the shares of those Companies which are most likely to obtain Bills. The expensive contest In Parliament of the London and York Cem pany mast absorb all the deposits. If the Act be obtained, culls must immediately follow; and the majority of the scripholders will avoid registmtien, knowing that they w,ll have opportunities hereafter of coming into the undertaking at a much lower price. The calls must, therefore, be enforced against those who have signed the Parlia mentary Contract. This fearful position of matters has induced the Committee to con sider that probably the Eastern Counties Company, who are the strong opponents of the Loedo i and York Company, dear, for the sake of protection and certain ty to their own shareholders, be still open . to some liberal compron is ~ and that the London and York directors aed shareholders ought, either by dintinisidog the extent of their undertaking (and creverp etitly lessening the ameunt of calls to re 'eve the pressure which will come en their euescribo , ), or by some absorption iri the Eastern Counties Company, obtain a participation in an undertaking yielding a present profit, iu,tead of one whose re tail, if ever obiained, will not be'arrived at without years of painiul sacrifices and distre a. With these views, the Committee think stets ought to be immedi ately taken to open a negotiation with the Eastern Counties, if not to dissolve the London and Yo k Company. In the opinion of the committee, either the line south of Peter borough ought to be abandoned, and the shares reduced to 201. e ich, or the line sh uld be given up to the Eastern Counties Company, on their agreeing to pay the whole or a portion of the expenses, and giving shares iii their Line rte originally propoeed. The statement below, showing the past and present petition of several well-supported Companies who, before the Committee of the House of Commons, - clesrly showed a return on their capital from 6 to 8 pre* cent., proves that success on the part of the London and York Railway, in rAtainine their till, will enfell ruinous le-is on the Subscribers old scripholders ; aid if any other argtnnent was needed to maintain the views of the Committee, the following eat rest !rem the" Times" of the Bih of April, might alone be mel sufficient : " The character of the crisis, and its effects on the new lines, are graphically illustrated in the catastrophe of the Lendou and Oxf ird Railway, us reported in ye,terdny's paper: - " `Mr. I. K. Brunel, examined by the Chairman.—The prices have so increased since the Acts were obtained, that the lines mentioned above (the Oxford and Worcester, and the Oxford and Rugby) can not be constructed at the estimated prices. Considers that the con struction of railways is now 50 per cent. more titan at this time last year. " ' At this point of the proceedings the Chairman said that :the Committee thought it unnecessary to hear . any more evidence re specting tee London and Oxford Line; and, accerdingly, after the room had been cleared for a few minutes, the Chairman announced . that the Committee were unanimously of op nion tbat the preamble of the London and Oxford had not been prow d.'" The Committee beg to direct the attention of the shareholders to the official announcement of the Government's intention to immedi ately introduce an Act investing the scripholder with such power, that a majority in number and value duly registered at any public Meeting will prevent the further progress of any Bill in Parliament; and as the London and York Railway Bill will, in a very few days, have to appear before a similar tribunal as that of the defunct London and Oxford, the Committee are, therefore, very anxious at once to ascertain if the shareholders concur in any of their views, for which purpose the following printed form may be obtained at the Com mittee-rooms, and every shareholder and subscriber to the deed is earnestly requested to return the same signed immediately, in order that the directors may be conferred with, or a public meeting con vened, as mey, be deemed most expedient for the protection of the interests of all parties. To the Committee of the London and York Shareh,iders. Gentlemen,—l am a scripbolder of • Shares in the London and York Railway, and am desirous, Firstly, of having the Line South of Peterborough given up, so as to lessen the cost ; or, Secondly, of having terms made with the Eastern Counties Company f‘r an abandonment of the London and York Ra.lway and AmaigarnaVon with the Eastern Counties Line, or, Thirdly, of having the C mpany at once dissolved. I would prefer the • of these alternatives, and I authorise the Coma ittee of Shareholders to represent my opinion to the Legis lature, and to pray Parliament to carry the same into effect, or to re ject the London and York Bill.

Shares in this Company to an advertisement dated the 16th instant, and by the Secretary of the Company, expressing the confidence of the Directors in obtain'ng their Bill. The Committee, considering this the greatest misfortune that can happen to the Shareholders, the more earnestly invite all those from whom they have not yet received commu.dcations, to lose no time in recording their opinion in accordance with the sug gestions contained in the circular issued by the Committee on the 14th instant. The holders of many thousand shares have already returned their concurrence with the views of the Committee; and the progress thus far made leaves no doubt on the minds of the Committee of their ul timate success. The Committee, in reply to many letters received, offering pecuni ary support, beg to state that they decline receiving any subscriptions, and intend personally bearing all the expenses, unless the body of Shareholders in the London and York line vote their payment from the general fends.

The Committee feel that the steps they are taking will reduce from theory to practice the wish of the Directors, and facilitate in the most elf ctu.a manner the attainment of the object which they now for the first time announce their intention to accomplish, and the Committee have much sattsPiction in apprising the Share holders that the answers they have al:eady received establish be-- yond a doubt that the Proprietors will adopt the views which led to the formation of this Committee, and which they consider as the on ly means of escape from liabilities and engagements of a most ruinous nature.

F. FERG U6OZ - 7 CAMW'US, .4eP. PUBLICATIOAS. TIMING OF RAM:B z ' - • -l EL -HE ERA. NEWSPAPER, anxious to perfect its Sporting Intelligence to the utmost, will henceforward contain CORRECT TIME TABLES of all the PRINCIPAL RACES in ENGLAND, registered by competent and trustworthy hands, commencing with SATURDAY NEXT, THE AFFAIRS OF INIJIA. The following letter from our correspondent in the Deccan was unfortunately written before the latest in telligence from Lahore had reached him. It contains, however, s h eh just views upon Indian politics as will well repay p .usal CAMP, NEAR KOLKOOR. It is needless for me to give you detsis of the splendid victory at Sobraon. You will have read in the Govt rnor- General's order, and in iir H. G ow's dispatch, bow with immense loss the Seikhs were driven from their formidable intrenchment, constructed on the most scientific European principles by their Spanish engineer, how our noble troops, European and native alike, carried these without a check, and how, pushing the disordered masses be fore them on to their narrow bridge and into the hardly fordable river, thousands perished there from the fire of our artillery, and were drowned in the deep waters. This news will be received with the enthusiasm it de serves ; it was, indeed, a neble. achievement ; we have fought no such battles in India as those with the Seikhs —we have never been so nearly matched, either in mi litary science cr bravery in the field ; but, under the aid of Divine providence, their invasion has been hurled back with mighty power, and we are now in our turn invaders of the Punjaub. The force followed immediately after the battle, and is now concentrated at Kussoor, if it be not, as I trust to hear, advanced to Lahore ere this. We have in our possession 220 pieces of their best and most serviceable field artillery, and though the arsenal of Lahore was said to contain 400 pieces, there seems to have been no effort made at Lahore to send out any reinforcement of this arm, the applications from Runjoor Singh and others being tauntingly answered, that their forces had better seek their old ones where they lost them. Colonel Wheeler was to have crossed near Phulloor ; indeed it is reported that he had taken possession of that place without opposition, the disorganised Seikh army having fled at once without offering any opposition. 6o far, therefore, our operations have been a splendid suecessiOn of victories ; the vaunted prowess of the Khalsa .army has been signally broken. Never has any war been prosecuted with greater vigour or bra very. There were murmurs at delay, but it has been well proved by the event that any attack upon the po sition of Sobraon without heavy artillery would have Le en dangerous ; and any check of our army would have had a baneful efflct throughout India. If the Governor- General, holding with film expectation to a peaceful line of policy in the first instance, omitted provision against the coining storm, we have seen how energetically, how fearlessly, how amply he has since carried on the war. No stint of troops, no stint of money, or supplies, or ma terial is apparent. As a great and final effort should ! made, so has this been carried out, and has won for him and his gallant co! .panion in arms imperishable renown. Nor, on reflection, would I have seen any other line=lif policy pursued. Confident in his own resources, the Seikhs were allowed to advance by the Governor- General; their long doubted intentions thus plainly put to the proof, unprovoked by any preparation or demonstration an the part of the Government of India. The ny.st pre judiced party-writer cannot advance as a posltion of repreh-nsion that this invasion and war were brought about by any threatenings, " any obvious desire of conquest. We should have had a Punjaub war uncle- Lord Ellenborough, had he remained, fong ere this, but it would have been one open, and justly open, to cavil. Some strange demand woulo have driven the over-confi dent Seikbs to off', asive operetions, even if we had not taken the initiative, and it may be questioned whether our actions and conduct of the war e ould have coke up to the present standard. Our men would have displayed the same gallantry, but the director of all, the practical experience of an old and tried general, uniting with military skill profound political knowledge, would have been wanting. No, the war has come well as it is, and in the unprovoked aggression there is ample reason and necessity for those stringent terms which will be eventually dictated, and which the Governor- Gene ral's proclamation from Kussoor shadows forth. Like his previous ones, this is a straightforward, manly, unmis takable document, and reads almost more explicitly in Persian than in English. In the flush of recent victory, there is no boast of success beyond the simple notifica tion that the Seikh army his been defeated and expelled from the left bank of the Sutlej. The Governor-General, following his previous proclamation, again reiterates that these operations have been "forced upon him " for the protection of the British possessions and for the punishment of the violators of public peace and solemn treaties ; and again, that by the war the British Govern meet had no desire of territorial acquisition—that no preparation for hostility was made that the sincere desire of the British Government was to see a strong Seikh Government established, that the conduct of the Government and the army had rendered these desires furtile, and that whatever now bofals both will be the cense quences of their own misdeeds. These positions are in controvertible either here or in England, and it will be satisfactory to our Government to proclaim them to the world in defiance of misrepresentation of motives. Whatever aggressive character our previous Indian con quests may have had, and alas! they are neither few nor unimportant, this stands alone in its integrity of purpose from first to last. But with the foregoing it is explicitly set forth that for indemnity for the past and security for the future, the British Government will retain a portion of the territory of the Lahore state ; and for the present the portion is contingent upon the conduct of the durbar. The country between the Sutlej and the Beeas, embrac ing the bill district to the south and east of Simla, is at once taken as a part of the indemnity. What the o her districts intended to be taken are is not known, but it is most probable they may be Moulton, the more espe cially if, as it is stated, the authorities are favourable. Cashmere may be considered too distant without the dis tricts between the Stalej and the Beeas afford a road to it, arid this hardly appears practicable by the map. Again, with a solemn and impressive warn in g a s to the consequences of further opp o si t ion , does the Governor- General summon the chiefs and officers of the Seikh Go- ' n t n h the p person w e areofnaotdeto vernment to submit themselves to the authority of the British Government, and to enable the Governor-General noef, thissn d s l y st e m would . far ßy rather establishings see an an s uinedhea st o c organise dant of have a subsidiary treaty. There are able men enough , and which are the the Seikhs to form a strong Government and among pendent one, which should have some care for and pride i n itself, than one of those effete, miserable things called an independent one, a the e a k i h e A G l o a l b e a r r n a j m a e . such as at Hyderabad Government, we should deprive the Seikhs of their ability to serve as allies, weaken the north-west frontier, G inevitableove rri e n r t e s s , and find ourselves engaged with border tribes and in quarrels between this Government and its wild neigh bours, feudatories, &c., which would weaken us, and serve no possible end in strengthening the Government at all, we had set up. If there is to be a Gover nment then, I cordially hope it may be an indep en d ent one, as Nepaul is able to protect itself, to help us if necessary, and to manage its own affairs without our inte reddli If this cannot be brought about I would mr ng. whole made a British possession, at whatever see the i ncoli verdence; we cannot now stand upon triflingrpresent con siderations ; the protection and security frontier are at stake. I say again, I hope there may be no subsidiary force. We should require one of 30,000 m en at least, th e ve terans of the army and 10,000 Europeans to b e a portiere of it. You do not seem at present able to spare us any more, but you must ere long, Our present European force will hold the country against all odds but we must have mo re to fill up the places they ; have left vacant all over India. Sir Henry Hardinge has provided for the sappy of the native army, and I have not the least doubt has laid before your G overnment his want of European troops. Even the mere casualties have thinned their numbers fearfully-, e. g., of the 50th, 450 men and officers have been killed, wounded, and disabled, out of 650, and other corps in proportion. The Governer-General recognises the probable ex istence of a Seikh army, as a matter of course, only as an appendage to a regular and independent Government. The rni re mention of the army gives me more hope of an independent, though eircumscribed,government‘than any other part of the proclamation.

GEORGE ROBINS is favoured bv in ky L structiona to announce the SALE by AUCTION, at the Mart, London, on TIIITESDAT, the 4th of June, at 12 o'clock, and in one lot, one of THE MOST COMPACT AND ET,IGIBLE ESTATES THROUGH OUT WARWICKSHIRE, _ comprehending - . THE WHOLE HAMLET AND THE MANOR OF WI LLENHALL, in the county of Warwick, within two short miles of THE CITY OF COVENTRY. This freehold property is ALL EXEMPT FROM TITHES, with Rates very small, and one-half compronused by a payment from the London and Birmingham Railway Company. It extends to SEVEN HUNDRED AND FORTY ACRES OF PA-TURE, ARABLE, AND WOOD LANDS; the quality is first-rate, and it is all in the highest state of cultiva tion. There is A VILLA ORNEE, IN THE STYLE OF QUEEN ELIZABETH, commanding extensive and beautifid views, beside a second abode adapted to facilitate the wishes of a sporting man. There are Gardens and Pleasure Grounds ; the tenantry are highly respectable, and tHEAR IT ALL YE OF LITTLE FAITH IN LANDED INVESTMENT) TITERS IS NOT NOR HAS THERE BEEN AN ARREAR OF A GUINEA DURING TEN YEARS. There is beside a compactness to this property which commends it to the term WITHIN A RING FENCE. THE RIVERS AVON ANT) SOWE form the south and north boundaries, with lots of fishing ; and a sporting man will find all the auxiliaries his heart can desire, the adjoining manors being strictly preserved by LORD CRAVEN AND THE BAGINTON AND BRANDON PROPERTY, The Farm Houses and all the agricultural buildings are in ilrst.rate condition, and cannot require a shilling to be expended in any way. The high Holyhead and London mail daily traverses through the hamlet, and the railway has shortened the time to London to less than three hours. THE CITY OF COVENTRY, close at hand, is a feature of too much importnnco to be overlooked ; hut. as t , :e advantages seem to follow in such quick succession, Mr. Robins will desist from prolonging this announcement until he has made his survey—only observing the present very low rental exceeds FIFTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR, AND THE PROPERTY IS ALL EXTRA-PAROCHIAL. Ity way of conclusion, it affords the writer very great satisfaction to join in and express a very concurrent opinion, and one that has be come manifest now-a-days, that THE .kGRICUI,TURAL COM3IUNITY HATE BEEN MUCH MORE FRIGHTENED THAN HURT, a fact which a very few months will demonstrate beyond the possi bility of mi,kappreliensloii.

Mr. Robins has not yet hail the gratification of a personal survey, and therefore will reserve its deserved encomium until he has, merely drawing the public attention by a very condensed hint or two, which he has taken the liberty to borrow from DUGDALE'S HISTORY OF FORD ABBEY, and which authority, Mr. Ii bins imagines, 11 , 11 be appre ciated beyond his, even when he has encountered the proposed en joyment lie has in view; it will at present suffice to say, THE MANSION DISPLAYS A MAGNIFICENT PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE, EXTENDING TO A 300 k EET FRONTAGE. placed in A PARK OF EXCEEDINGLY GREAT BEAUTY, FULL OF DEER, wherein the Woodland Scenery and the Waters contend for the prowl ascendancy. The history of this pioperty is not a little interesting, and M 7. Robins intends to append it to his descriptive particulars; it may be, however, stated, that it is iu every respect adapted to and WORTHY TO BE A ROYAL ABODE ; and the offices of every description are commensurate ; the gardens, lawns, and pleasure-grounds are quite beantitill. THE CELEBR TED RIVER AXE PROGRESSES THROUGH THE PROPERTY WPM ITS FAMED TROUT FISHERIES; and a sporting gentleman of rank will find everything he can des're for miles around him. And it really should be rwticed that there still the celebrated MONKS' WALK, KEPT IN THE HIGHEST STATE OF PRESERVATION. And it would be almost sacrilege to omit stating that THE ANCIENT TAPESTRY IN THE STATE ROOMS IS SO MAGNIFICENT AS NOT TO FEAR A COMPARISON THROUGHOUT THE EMPIRE ; and this observation is used advisedly, and by no means introduced into the picture as a flight of fancy's sketch. THE MANORS OF HOLDITCH AND L AMORE ABOUND IN EVERY DESCRIPTION OF GAME. The Farms are all within a ring fence. The Houses and Buildings very good, and the tenantry quite exemplary, the word " ARREAR" BEING REMOVED FROM THEIR VOCABULARY. The present low rent exceeds SIXTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR, With this observation the present brief and imperfect representation will end until it has been seen and appreciated by Mr. R., merely observing, a purchaser will have in his early contemplation a sight of one of THE FINEST THINGS IN ENGLAND. Such pretensions WITHIN, altogether corresponding with that which is conceded alone to royalty. The full announcement will appear in fourteen days, and the printed particulars, with drawing of Ford Abbey, and plams of the estate, will follow in quick succession, and then be had of Wm.

Will the rew artily be a contingent, as at G walior and Hyderabad ? Per haps so. It is more likely than a subsidiary force ; but greatly open to the same objections as one. F:na.lly, if farther opposition is experienced, the Government of India wilt make such other arrangements for the future government of the country as the interests of the British power may render just and expedient ; which means, that the British Government will take the Punjaub and govern it after its own fashion. The Seilth army may be disor.lered and weakened, but it will take much to break the fanatical zeal of the Seikhs, and there are many of the Sirdars who will share this feel ing with them. It is .perhaps the only national feeling which has been encountered in India. Among the Rajpoots of part'cular tribes there have appeared traces of nation el feeling, but the tribes are too di vided and too limited in power to have rendered such a feeling a principle of action. No man that ever I heard Of took pride in saying that he was a Mahratta, or that he was a Nizam's subject or one of Oude or Gwalior. Attachment to a Government, as the head of a people has been a rare thing in India ; but here we have attachment by a fanatical people to a Government, and its head, which, in Reinject Singh, was a splendid realisation of power. We know that the Khalsa army, containing few mercenaries, is essentially a national one, and is identified with the Government in feel ing, sect, prejudice, and ambition. Therefore I think that we May see the Seikh Government, under the power of Ghoolab Singh and the dread of our presence, accept any terms dictated; but that the army will not give in until.reuted again and again, or taking at mice to those sfrong fortified places in the country, which they can hold in deTeration, and which it will cost us many valuable lives and much treasure to- reduce. There are, however, no means of solving this puzzle. Nothing ran be plainer, - fttlthing' tritYre earnest. con-- sistently with proper dignity, than Sir Henry Hardinge's invitation to all classes, and if the well dispoied to the " state do not see at once that the only chance of preserving a national Government is to aid the Governor-General and the few chiefs who may have followed Gholab Singh, they will assuredly plunge into irretrievable ruin, and entail upon us another year's campaign for the perEct reduction of the whole country. It must be a great matter of uncertainty at pres nt which way the tiee mae turn ; and the Governor- General may await the issue of his proclamation at Ku!soor, or, as is more probable, push on with force to Lahore, to dictate his terms to the country and the people of the capital. There he is sure of the co-opera tion of Ghoolab Singh and his hill troops. This able Man will not neglect his own interests, and he will see them to be identical with British supremacy. His family have suffered too deeply from the Khalsas to render him in , iincere. From the period of his arrival at Lahore, though he brought money and supplies with him, and to preserve appearances declared they should be lacei at the disposal of the army, he has, so far as we know, given nothing, but has strongly advised peace, or temporised with the requests of the Punches, till he could be assured of the actual presence in the Punjaub of the British army. This having immmediately followed the last battle he made at once to the Governor-General's camp, to arrange, in conjunction with him, the future settle ment of the Government. It is not probable, I think, that there will be resistance at Lahore. Gholab Singh's army was the only efficient or fresh one ; that he will control. _ Under the consternation which must prevail, neither Lall Singh nor the Ranee would be ab'e to collect troops enough to make a stand, and the Governor-General's proclamation will have a mighty effect, backed as it is by a victorious army. I therefore look with confidence to hear of the speedy oc cupation of Lahcre, and that, and the negotiations which will follow, will be subjects of the highest possible in terest, far more so politically than the actions of the war, however brilliant. It will be greatly to be regretted should the Governor- General be embarrassed by any home politics. Of these Ido not presume to treat. America may per haps take a higher tone on the Oregon question on hearing of this war, and this appears to be the only chance of embarrassment ' • but we may fairly hope not, and in any case I should hope that the two questions would not be mixed up together. We have fought here for a political supremacy, which was threa tened by an invasion of our territory, and the measures which have resulted from it must be considered distinct from any European course of political events. There is no alternative whatever, to my perception. As before, I again repeat that India is profoundly tranquil. No power in it dare, with the example of the Punjaub before it, to provoke chastisement. Rumours have been industriously spread of our defeat, of the capture of the Seikh guess being idle fabrications, that they were wooden or leather ones, placed so as to decoy our troops into the mines laid, &c. All these ab surd stories, however, are dispersed by the stern truth of the several defeats, and the invasion of the l'unjaub, and will be repeated no more. A full sense of the past power of the British Indian Government, if not fully felt bef, re, will now prove an irresistible conviction, end with the close of this war we may hope for a long and glorious peace for our eastern possessions. Sinde-, too, is tranquil ; no rase even among the hill tribes has followed the march of the army of the Lower Sutl,j ; and though Sir C. Nap'er has gone on to join the Governor- General, his name will live behind him, and will insure quiet. Few will be so bold as to provoke his fiery wrath or indomitable spirit. It will chafe him that he is too late for the great battles ; but he may yet have his share, if the Selch forces do not render un conditional submission. Where the army of the Lower Sutlej is to go, or what it is to do, does not yet appear ; it will probably occupy the lower part of Punjaub, and if there be truth in the report of the submission of Moultan, will very probably proceed thither at once. Moulton pays 3i lacs of rupees a-month to the Lahore Goverz.mnit, and this would go a good way to supply the indemnity for the war, which I very truly hope may a complete one. In the Deccan I have nothing particular to inform you of. I am much afraid that we shall have another season of cholera, as that dire scourge has already shown itself in many parts. May God, in His mercy, avert its further spread, for it is very fearful; there is no refuge from it, and the country people have no remedies against it. Distress is severely felt in the central dis tricts and in Khandeish, and for this there is no alleviation. I hear nothing from Hyderabad but the distresses of the Government ; already is the Nizam in debt 22 Lacs for the payment of the contingent, and there appears no exertion made either to provide regular payments or to discharge debts. The Nizam calls for one quack contriver of remedies after another, and looks keenly after mulcts, fines, nuz zerana, and other extra sources of revenue, which are as uncertain as unjust, neglecting, of course, the country and the people, from whom he can derive any certain funds. An amusing, or rather an embar rassing council, took place not long ago, the collectors or Julookbdars being summoned to provide for the 22 Inca of debt, and to make further advances. As the revenue of every district is forestalled, not only was every present demand impossible of satisfaction, but it was urgently represented that as the advances had been made from private funds, they should be put in train of adjustment ! The Government is now without cnedit, and without management ; and how it contrives at all, is surprising. It seems exceedingly probable that as soon as the Punjaub affair is settled the management of this state may occupy the at tention of the Governor-General, its troops and expenses be reduced to a footing commensurate with its resources, and, as at Gwalior, districts in satisfaction of the pay of the contingent and other demands made over to the care of the Resident, and to the superintendence of British officers. But it is, in homely phrase, in a sad mess altogether, and if one state more than another exhibit the political demoralization of the subsidiary system, it is this. In Bengal a new railway plan has been started, which seems powerfully supported, and is likely to be com menced forthwith. We are all anxiously expecting the reports on the great lines, and I sincerely trust there may be beginnings made next cold season.— Times. A VESSEL RUN DOWN OFF BE ACHY HEAD. BRIGHTON, SUNDAY.—Soon after daylight this morning nine persons, comprising the captain and crew and three passengers of the barque Lady Falkland, of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, which was run down off Beachy Head during the night by the schooner Martha of Guernsey, were put ashore here by the schooner's boat. We gather the fol lowing particulars from Reuben Schofield, the mate of the tassel : " We left New York on the 11th of March, with a cargo of logwood, the freight being worth about 6001., and after a good passage arrived off Beachy Head about eleven o'clock last night. It was very dark, and shortly after wards the men on the watch descried a vessel under our lea. We immediately hoisted a light which we had burning, and I hallooed as loud as I could, but as they did not get the helm up, we expected they would run in to us, and in less than five minutes the strange vessel struck ours just abaft the fore-chains, and cut ke down to the water's edge. She instantly began to fill. Th first thing we did was to try to stop the hole by thrusting in the bedclothes. In less than ten minutes after she was struck we sounded the pumps, and found that she bad eight feet of water in the hold, and we expected that the vessel would instantly sink. Seeing no hopes of righting her, we lost no time in unlashing one of the boats, into which we all get, but it was nearly half an hour before the vessel sunk, which, if we had known, we could have saved some of our things, but, as it was, we saved nothing except what we wore. The vessel that struck us proved to be the Martha, of Guernsey, and the moment the accident hap pened, and seeing the perilous situation in which we were placed, they remained alongside, and rendered all the assis tance in their power. In a few minutes we were safe on board the Martha, which sustained no damage worth men tion. The Lady Falkland sunk in about ten fathoms of water, about six miles from shore, E. by N. of Beachy Head. One of the passengers, William Holmes, a native of Devon port, states that this is the fourth time he has been ship wrecked since last August." BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, APRIL 17.

LEEDS, e e A rartnidr, appearance earance of improvement STocit EXCLIANGE.-- There is little variation t o no t e on th e Sh are Markets during the week. Th e t ransact i ons have been limited in count caused a temporaryadN-a n extent, and prices pretty st a ti onary. The settlements for the ac for a day or two, butblustering news from America checked Invest ment, and stock of all descriptions receded t o it s ' former position, closing with but few buyers. A growing desire evinces itself among scripholders to facilitate the winding up of ne w railway projections, and several meetings have already been held in Leeds o n th e subject ; but it will require a little time ere the bulk of the holders are recon ciled to meet losses which they are willing to admit are eventually inevitable. At present "like drowning men they catch at straws," and in the Illusory hope that something in the chapter of accidents may turn up to the advantage of the particular schemes in which they are interested, they hold on blindly while the little that might be rescued from the general wreck is being swallowed us in fUrther costly proceedings. In some instances a feeling of rivalry has ob tained such hold on promoters, that they feel it derogatory to them individually to abandon the schemes with which they have become connected before their rivals have left the field, while hopes of amal igamation keep others struggling on. All are equally fallacious; where amalgamation with existing interests is likely, arrangements have already been made or proposed, and opposition now among new schemes which are at heavy discounts is but emptying the coffers to their own injury, while the mere "holding on" without object, save the chance of an indefinite something, is surely manifestly impolitic at this time. We hope, for the sake of those whose means do not justify further risks, that no such mistaken influences will be allowed to interfere with the abandonment of very many of the profitless schemes now before the public.

Forests (in the place of the Earl of Lincoln), with Mr. Milne, attended by Mr. Barry and Mr. Orissell, paid a visit of inspection to these works on Saturday last, with reference more particularly to the fitting-up of one of the enthe floors of the new building, overlooking the Thames for the use ofthe increasing requirements of the railway committees. Messrs. Grissell and Peto have, in consequence, received directions to complete immediately twenty of these noble apartments for the above purpose, and which we are informed they have undertaken to accomplish by the 27th inst., so as to avoid inconvenience or 11.ln:t -rance to the business of the House of Commons. The rooms in ques tion are approached by a passage-way across the new building, com municating with the present temporary committee-rooms in the Star Chamber Court, and they are in immediate connexion with the new corridor, extending from one extremity of the building to the other, nerrly 600 feet in length. There are upwards of 200 workmen em ployed in the operation, and from the spacious character of the apart ments and the loftiness of the ceilings, we do cot apprehend that there will be much necessity for the exercise of the ventilating saga city ofDr. Reid. DEATH OF THE EARL OF ERROLL. The Earl of Erroll, Hereditary Lord High Constable of Scotland, expired on Sun day morning at the residence of his son-in-law, Viscount Campden, Portman-square. The Countess of Erroll, Lord Kilmarnoeh, t Viscount and Viscountess Campden, Lady Agnes Duff, Lady Mary Fox, an d General and Lady Isabella Wetuyss, were present at the mournful event. The Royal Family sent during the day to make in quiry after the state of the Cotintess of Erroll. The deceased noble man was in WS f or t y - s i x th year, and is succeeded in hit; titles by hi s only sou, William, Lord ILLlwarnock., born 3d May, 1823. " 4 ‘ .. : ATTEMPTED AS THE KING OF THE FRENCH. The Journal des Debats publishes the following details re lative to the atrocious attempt upon the King's life : " Yesterday afternoo n th e R oya l F a thil y h a d ta k en 'a drive_ after a boar hunt whi c h l as t e d un til near fi ve o'clock. The King, Queen, Madam e Ad e l a id e , t h e P r i nce and Princ of Salerno, and the D uc h ess o f N emours were i n a ch -a bane. The Duke de Nemours and the Prince de Joinville were on horseback. M. de Montalivet, who accompanied the King, was seated beside his Majesty on the first bench of the carriage. which was not attended by any escort. Some officers of the Ist Regiment of Hussars, who had been at the hunt, g'alloped near the carriage doors, with Captain Bra hault, the King's orderly officer. From the moment of the King's departure for his drive an individual whosehead was covered with a handkerchief was concealed behind a wall in the private'park, holding in his hand a gun levelled at the royal equipage, but the attempt was adjourned until the re turn of the royal party, because, according t o th e supposi tion of that man, the King would be better placed to re ceive the shot at about six yards from the mouth of the gun. The individual thus posted like a poacher who is waiting his prey was, as may have been anticipated, the person named Lecomte. "Leconite is forty-eight years of age, he was born at Beau mont (Cote d'Or), he is a vindictive and violent man, ill conducted, of limited intellect, and of a detestable reputation. He is unmarried, and resided in the Rue de Colysees in Paris. " Lecomte is said to have served, before the year 1830 in the Royal Guard, with the rank of non-commissioned officer, during the expedition to Spain, and he subseq uen tly ma d e the campaign of the Morea. He received in the first of the two campaigns the cross of the Legion of Honour. Having left the service, he entered as wood-ranger in the household of the Duke of Orleans. It was after 1830 that ho was ap pointed chief guard of the royal domain at Fontaiubleau, after having passed -in succession through all the inferior ranks. During those several periods he every year accom panied the King in his drives at Fontainbleau. Lecomte was treated with the greatest indulgence, inasmuch as he had always ill -discharged his duties. About eighteen months since he resigned his situation, is a letter filled with the most insolent expressions. A thousand efforts were made to induce him to retract and to use becoming language. But he was obstinate and persisted in his resolution. He was offered half-pay, although he had no right to any. Ile then formed the strange idea of demanding the value of his half pay in money. This was refused. From this cause Lecomte conceived a violent hatred against his former masters, and in particular against M. de Sahume, Conservator of the Crown Forests, whom he is said to have threatened with his ven geance. M. de Sahume complained to the Prefect of Police, who placed a watch over Lecomte. The latter having re mained tranquil during two or three months, it was believed that all danger from his!hand had ceased, the watch was with drawn, and the police lost sight of him. How he occupied himself since no person can tell, until the officers of justice shall have ascertained the nature of his relations, and have developed the mystery of his conduct, an d a court of law shall have pronounced its judgment. All that we can say is, that Lecomte, after having carefully concealed his mode of jife dpring alwee. in on ths, reappeared Ql4, til9 1 C4l,4o4,AnziLi.u... the park of 'Pon a.'iubleau,- armed with-oregiciaegan.---Le..: comte enjoys the reputation of being one of the best shots in the department of the Seine and Marne, and it is said that he could strike a fawn at the distance of 150 yards. " We left him ensconced behind a wall to wait the return of the Royal Family. The approach of the royal carriages was heard. The King's char-a-bane was perceived coming out of the small park of Avon and entering the private park called the Pheasants' Preserve. The King was seated on the first bench, having the Count de Montalivet at his left. The ' Queen was seated beside the Princess of Salerno, on the second bench; Madame Adelaide and the Duchess of Ne mours on the third; and the_Prieee of Salerno, the Queen's brother, on the fourth. The carriage, drawn by six horses, preceded by an outrider, passed close to the wall of the small park at a brisk trot. The assassin was at his post, mounted on a heap of faggots, his double-barrelled gun levelled skil fully at a height calculated to kill, and resting on the wall. The royal equipage approached, but in place of finding him self on a level with the King's head, as Lecomte had ex pected, he met that of Count Montalivet, whom he perfectly well knew. He was then obliged to make a rapid but incom plete movement, and to change the direction of the gun. The trigger was drawn—the shot was fired, at about 12 yards' distance, and the charge, composed of balls of musket size, cut the fringe of the char-a-bane above the head of his Majesty. The wadding of the gun fell on the Queen's knees. . . . A second shot was fired in the same direc tion. The King exclaimed, 'lt is nothing—it is the con clusion of the shooting-party!' and added, to the postilions, ' Well, go en to the château.' The carriages then con tinued their course. At the noise of the two shots, one of the grooms, named Millet, who followed the King's carriage, approached the wall, jumped on his saddle, crossed the wall, and pursued the assassin. 4 I will capture you living, or lose my life,' exclaimed he. Lecomte turned round, and endea voured to defend himself. He was of prodigious strength, and Millet, notwithstanding his courage, incurred much danger, but he was quickly assisted by the officers of Hussars who had followed the King, and who had galloped round the wall, as well as by M. de Labadie and de Brahault, or derly officers of his Majesty. The assassin surrendered and confessed his crime, expressing regret that he had not ac complished his object. Leconite is a man of lofty stature, dark complexion, with a habit of staring, and a coun tenance expressive of strong passions. lie wears musta chios and an imperial. ' I was too hasty,' said he, with an expression of bitter sarcasm. He wore a blouse as a dis guise, and covered his face with a handkerchief, but he was otherwise neatly attired. His gun was an excellent weapon, and of considerable value. Lecomte was conducted to the town prison in the midst of an immense multitude, and it was with difficulty his guards could protect his life from the furious crowd, who, from imprecations, were proceeding to violence. The officers of the Hussars finally succeeded in pressing through the multitude, an I delivered him up to the keeper of the prison. The King's Attorney. General and the examining. magistrate soon after arrived, and Lecomte, dur ing an interrogatory which lasted two hours, confessed that he had come to Fontainbleau well determined to kill the King. During the evening the entire town was brilliantly illuminated. Joy succeeded to indignation. Providence preserved the King, and it was a complete festival at Fon tainbleau in consequence. His Majesty would not change his plan of remaining in the chateau, thus demonstrat ing that the crime of -a single wretch bad riot diminished his confidence in the loyalty of the 'people. We are assured however, that be will return to Paris to-morrow some hours sooner than he had originally fixed, in order to receive the congratulations of the two Chambers. The news of the at tempt against the King was known in Paris at 11 o'clock at night. The Minister of the Interior was at a party at the British Ambassador's. He immediately apprised the Keeper of the Seals and the Attorney-General, who proceeded at midnight for the roval residence. The King, during the af ternoon, wrote several letters—one to Marshal Soult, the President of the Council ; one to the Minister of the Interior; and one to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Queen dis patched au express to her daughters. Their Royal High nesses proceeded to Fontainbleau the following morning. The Duchess gf Orleans, the Princess de Joinville, the Duchess d'Aumale, and the Duchess of Saxe Coburg travelled in the same carriage. A re Deum was sung in the chapel of the castle. The entire Royal Family assisted at it. When. Count d'Appony, the Austrian Ambassador, who was about to proceed to Vienna, heard of the attempt, he immediately gave counter orders, and adjourned his departure. Lord Palmerston immediately addressed the Minister for Foreign Affairs a letter for his Majesty. " The Peers and Deputies crowded to their respective Chambers, where the news of Lecomte's crime became the object of general indignation. "A new convocation of the Chamber of Peers is announced for to-morrow (Saturday). It is believed that the ordinance constituting the Court to try the author of the attack at Fontainbleau will be presented :on that day by the Minister of Justice, "We are assured that amongst Lecomte's papers several letters were found filled with threats, of which two were ad dressed to the King, one to the Count de Montalivet, and one to the Conservator of the Forests. "The King is expected at Paris to-morrow (Saturday), about two o'clock. It is believed that the Chamber of De puties will proceed directly, and in a body, f rom t h e P ala i s Bourbon to the Palace of the Tuileries, to offer to the King the homage of their sympathy under circumstances so well calculated, as the President Sauzet observed, to ' draw closer the bonds which unite the great powers of the State.' To press round the throne when the King has escaped the balls of an assassin, is no longer a question of party nor a poll tical calculation, but it is an honourable inspiration and a loyal duty." The Gazette des Tribunaux adds the following particu lars : " On quitting the royal guard, Lecomte left for Greece, where he fought in the war of independence, and even be came aide-de-camp of General Mavrocordato.

He persisted, nevertheless; but the administra tion of the civil list, in its solicitude for even the less deserving of its officers, would not consider him as dismissed the service, which would have debarred him of all rights to a pension in his old age ; he was classed among the servants discharged for infirmities or other causes, and he was even allowed a larger pension than he would otherwise have been entitled to. Lecomte, far from being grateful for that favour, refused during two years to receive his pension ' • it was only some months ago, that, being pressed by want, he presented himself at the Tuileries to receive the ar rears due. Since his retirement from the administration of the Crown Forests, Lecomte bad manifested the strongest resentment against Count Montalivet, the Intend ant of the Civil List ; against M. De Rumigny, Aide-de- Camp of the King, but more particularly against M. De Sahume, the Conservator-General of the Forests. To the two first he contented himself with writing letters of recri mination, but in addressing M. De Sahume he had recourse to threats, and his exasperation was such that persons who were witnesses to it had officially apprised the Prefect of Police of the danger that might result from the violence of Lecomte for his former chief. That magistrate, unknown to M. De Sahume, had deemed it advisable to adopt measures for that gentleman's protection, and to place Lecomte under a special surveillance. Latterly, however, LecomtP appeared to have become more calm.
