Hughes, Icearsey; and Masterman, London. BROKERS.—Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite. The Bank of India is es'ablished for the purpose of carrying on the general business of banking and exeliange in India, China, the Mauritius, Ceylon, Singapore, and other ea tern possessions of the British empire ; for receiving deposits and making re nittances ; for granting cash credits and making advances upon approved securi• ties ; for i,sning circular n:tea payable in Europe, Egypt, the prin cipal stations on the Overland r. utcs to India, and at the different establishments 01 the bank ; for granting local drafts and credits ; and for all other legitmate banking business. The large capital of the Bank of India will render It a safe medium of deposits and .nvestment for the Indian community, whilst the sources of prod.': to be derived from the extended operations of the bank, by means of its different agencies, and the high rate of in terest obtainable in India, will ensure a large and profitable return upon the capital invested, and will, it Is confidently expected, justify the allowance of a moderate rate of interest to the depositors. The great success which has attended the operations of the exist ing • anking establishments in this country, connected with the East Indies, and of the well-conducted 1 cal banks in the different Pre sidenciec, and the encouragement given to the employment of capital in similar undertakings by the extension of commerce and railways, has led to the formation of the Bank of India. The extcnsio of banking facilities necessary to meet the growing requirements of the mercantile community and of the large civil and military establishments of India, and the development of the sources of wealth of that country which must arise from its improved internal communication by the railways projected and now in progress there, will open an extensive and profitable field for the operations of the Bank at its different branches. The objections which were formerly entertained to the manage ment in England of banking establishments connected with countries so distant as India have been removed, by the rapid means of inter course now existing between these two countries. The certainty and rapidity of this communication will be further increased by the new lines of railway now in progress on the conti nent of Europe and in Egypt, and by the agency of the electric and sub-marine telegraphs about to be established by powerful companies already in operation. Arrangements are in progress to secure to this Company the co• operation and support of some of the largest native merchants of India, which wilt extend the operations:of the Bank amongst that class of the Indian community. Application will be made to her Mitbsty's Government and to the Government of India for charters of incorporation to limit the lia bility of the Shtreholders, and power will be taken to increase the capital of the Company to 2,000,000, sterling, in which event the new shares will, in the first instance, be offered for distribution amongst the existing Sharehol !ers, and such other parties as, from their local connexions and other circumstances, may be considered likely to extend the-business of the Bank. The arrangements ior the constitution of this Company are now nearly completed, and full prospectuses, with the names of the Board of Directors, viii be pablished in a few days.

PERTH, FRIDAY NIGHT .-..W hen the HOn• Fox Maule succeeded to the title and estates of the late L ad Panmure, his connexion witl the representatives of Perth ceased by his elevation to the House of Lords. To mark the sense which the caestituency entertained of his character and services, it vas resolved to invite the Noble Lord to a public din ner i n P ert h, an d Lord Pan mure e to hav m in a g ke ac t c h e e pt d e e d m t e h n e st i r n a v t i i t m ai o et:eray way worthy of a arrangements were great public occasion. Th e L oi d P rovos t, magistrates, and town council of the city id ent ifi e d themselves with the proposal, and invitatio ns eery f orwa rded to Lord John Russell at the Garth, to Led Kinnaird, Sir Charles Adam, and to all the Members of the HOW° of Commons in this part of Scotland who are connected with the Liberal party in the State. The dinner took place in the City-hall this evening, and was attended by upwards of 400 noblemen and gen tlemen, and graced by the presence of Lady Panmure, the Hon. Misses Maule, and about 109 other ladies, who filled a gallery in front of the chair. The L )rd Provost of Perth occupied the chair, sup ported on the right by Lord Pannure, and on the left by Lord John Russell. the other guests at the principal table being Admiral Sir Charles Ad am , Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. Lauderdale Maule, kip., Mr. J. Fergus, M.P., the Hon. Mr. Maule, Hon. Arthar Kinnaird, MT., G. Duncan, M.P., J. Moncriffe, MP,, Sheriff Monteath, George Deas, Advocate; the Prevost of Dundee; Rev. Dr. Guthrie, Edinburgh; and Rev. A. Gray, Perth. Bailie Imrie occupied the Vice - president's seat, and was supported by Lord Kinnaird, Sir lames Anderson, M.P., Alexander Hastie, M.P., Sir William Gibson. Craig, G. B. Andrews, Q.C., Mr. Adatnyotrager, of Blair-Adam, Sheriff Currie, Mr. Dunlop; Treasurer Kemp, Baillies Honey, Hewat, and MacFarlane. The hall, which is a splendid building, was brilliantly lit up for the dinner, and when the guests were rated the s ce ne had a very characteristic appearance. ,r u ing discussed an excel lnenettetnner, supplied by Mr. Kennedy, o f the Salutation The CHAIRSIA.N gave the usual l oya l an d patriotic toasts, which were warmly received, a nd followed by appropriate music. In proposing " The Army," The PROVOST said, it is impossibl e t o g i ve thi s toast without bringing to out remembran ce t h e sa d event which has taken place :n regard to our army—the Commander-in-Chief, the illustrious Duke of Welling ton, has fallen under the stroke of death, We cannot fail to remember so great a man—great for,his valour and prowess in the field—great for his success in arresting the attempt at the suppression of liberty throughout Europe, and great for his influence in th e counc il s o f the nation. The nation mourns his loss. M any ma y find in his example a bright pattern to f o ll ow i n t h e ways of honour, of virtue, and of unostentati ous c h ar i t y. Many of his qualities are rot imitable by all of us—they are imitable by exceedingly few—but he h as l eft an ex ample of much that is valuable and of much that can and ought to be imitated by us all.—(Cheers.) Colonel MAULE, in returning thanks for the toast of " The Army," alluded in equally feeling terms to the demise of the Noble Duke. Admiral Sir CHARLES ADAM, in returning thanks for the navy, said, in reference to the tribute to the me mory of the Duke of Welington, " It reminds me that I was a witness of his first landing in Portugal, and I happened to be employed in directing the disembarkation of his army on that occasion in August, 1808 ; and I bad the honoured satisfaction of seeing him review 40,000 British troops under the walls of Paris in 1815. —(Cheers.) Perhaps I ought not to have alluded to anything personal to myself, but it is gratifying to this company to reflect in how short a time he saw esta blished the freedom, the honour, and the independence of the world."—(Cheers.) The CHAIRagAN then proposed the toast of the even ing, the health of their illustrious guest, " The Right Hon. Lord Panmure." It was rather more than twenty years since the Hon. Fox Maule became known in Perth as a gentleman of decidedly liberal principles and a keen advocate for Parliamentary reform. In 1835 he was returned for Perthshire, where the Marquis of Breadalbane had sown the seeds of liberalism, and the conduct of Mr. Maule in Parliament was such that a few years afterwards he was invited to represent the burgh, and, being returned, was their honoured represen tative for a good many years; and the tie by which he was thus united to the " Fair Maid of Perth" would not have been dissolved but by the higher claims of another district and events which had taken place in the dispen sations of Providence. From his first entrance into Par liament Mr. Maule advocated liberal principles and a libe ral policy, and he had risen to eminence by upright and decided conduct and strict adherence to sound principles. Honoured by his Sovereign, highly valued in the coun cils of the State, possessing the confidence of the nation, the friend of the soldier, and a schoolmaster for his children, Mr. Maule would ever be remembered with feelings of gratitude and pride as a distinguished states man, a patriot, and a philanthropist.—(Cheers.) " Such," said his Lordship in conclusion, " is the gentleman we have assembled here to-night to honour; such has been the commoner the Hon. Fox Al , ltsle, and may the Right Hon. Lord Panmure continue to be for many years to come what the Hon. Fox Maule has been for many years past.—(Cheers.) May he c ontinue to be in public and in private a virtuous and a valuable man.

I have alluded now to'the general policy on which I have hitherto been engaged, but I cannot pass over Dr omit some things which the country are sometimes apt to forget is judging of the public men of that day. It is impossible in this free country to expect that any man, whether he be a Minister of the Crown or a public me l t' in any other position, will always command the popular opinion of the day; but, in judging of public men, I would say that particular instances are not to bo too harshly judged of as specimens of the whole. It is but fair to look back on the general tenor of the man's public life; and so with regard to parties; and I am sure that if the career of that party of which my Noble Friend is the great leader be looked into from first to last, for years past before he or any of us were born, we shall find that the great liberties of this country were due to that party which he now leads; and that they were contended for in the worst of times, when even the people themselves, for whose liberties they struggled, were cold or indif ferent or were taught to ran them down.—(Cheers.) With the Reform Bill many Reformers arose, and under it many will still rise to the administration of public affairs—the more the better; but still, it is hardly, I think, fair that the great performances of the old should be passed over and .forgotten; and I hope the public gratitude will give to those who so naturally merit it the full weed to which they are entitled. The Lord Provost has alluded to the benefits conferred on the country after the passing of the Reform Bill. He alluded to-day, in the council, to municipal reform, and to the abuses swept away when that measure was prosecuted in this country. He did not allude to the variety of taxes which were repealed from 1830 to 1841. He did not allude to the burdens on the people which have been alleviated, nor to the ameliorations which have been made in the criminal law of this country, making its code less sanguinary and its enactments less se vere. He did not allude to the amelioration which had taken place in the civil law, bringing it, as the common phrase is, to the poor man's door, simplifying its form and cheapening its price. He did not allude to the oppressive taxes on the people which have been repealed. I may refer to one of them, the re peal of which, scarcely two years past, we owe to my •Noble Friend. I mean the iniquitous window-tax. — (Cheers.) These are benefits which are not to be lightly forgotten. And you may rely on this, that, let the Libe ral party seek where they please for leaders, there are no soldiers to take the field, such as those that have been accustomed to lead forward armies to victory. They know the tactics to be guided by and the ground to stand upon; their honour is unimpeached, their con sistency is unquestioned, and they deserve the confi dence of the country, rather than those who may present themselves as younger and mere raw recruits. The Noble Lord, in conclusion, said—Now, before I sit slows and take my leave of you, I must express my re grettiou o that o c u i r y c v u e m p v s e t a s n e n o e tt s , t y e: . e s l e v h e o r l e d d t m h a e t from for th t o h a e e pwo who i 0 - seek to take part in the councils of the country the hisC o Commons r y e t h u e maysphere w h h e s e t r e d a s pl m a y a e n d ' s . use ßu - t cotoofnstitution of our country there is another branch of the Legi slature to which, in the course of Provi best education for a p eer is, as the Lord Provost fulness E d nu e lo e ntuh e es e ese , s I have now been called , and t h e most fittin g and says, a few years' service in the House of Commons. liberty,assemb assembly, and as d s e o v m ot e ed no t t o far e welfare of their fellow men, as any in this country. It shall be mine to join heart and hand with these men in f T ro h m ere m a e r , feel that, though no longer responsible to a constituency, I am responsible to my God and to my country that I do promoting the best interests of my countrymen; for I not prove an idler in the place in which I am put, but are 9 1 lien devotedi n thatto that I do my duty in my station of life, not in preferring my own petty concerns or interests, but in ,establishing and advancing the best interests of my country, and in doing so, advancing the best interests of my country men.—(Applause.) There are , g entlemen, y e t man y reforms to be achieved. The Reform B il l was but t h e stone set it motion—it never can stand still. There may be seasons of progress—that progress may sometimes be faster and sometimes it may be slower , but progress t h is country must and will; and as people become morn intel ligent and capable of governing themselves, the franchise must be extended, and privileges must be held out 'to them which they do not at present enjoy. I hope I shall live to see the day when we shall have a far larger ex tension of the franchise than at present. I hope to live to see the day when a sound religious and secular education shall spread far end wide among the peo ple ; and I hope to see the day when this country will take as high standing for the enjoyment of its liberty, and for the intelligence of it people, as any coun try can do on the face of the earth. In the enjoyment of liberty, at present, I believe, she stands first; let her also aim to stand as the best educated and most en lightened people of the world. To achieve these objects gentlemen, shall be my utmost endeavour; and in what soever sphere or station I am placed, my whole energies shall always be devoted to the benefit of the country at large, and in my own locality, as a landlord, to see to the comforts and attend to the interests, both sacred and secular, of those who live around me.—(Cheers.) Gen tlemen, I must now say to all of you, Farewell. This is the occasion which separates me personally from the politics of your city, but it does not separate me from my affection to yourselves. As long as I live I shall look back on Perthshire as the place in which the happiest part of my days have been spent, and I shall look back on the constituency of Perth as the body which has evinced the gr eatest confidence in my public honour and discrimination.—(Applause.) The Noble Lord then proposed " The health of the magistrates and town council," which the Provost acknowledged. The LORD PROVOST then gave "Lord john Russell and the cause of civil and religious liberty all over the world." All men professed to venerate that cause, but he doubted if there was another man alive who bad done so much for the promotion of it as Lord John Russell. When Lord John Russell entered public life the cause of civil and religious liberty was in a very prostrate state. Slavery, with all its enormities existed; civil disabilities were rigidly and stringently enforced on account of a religious creed; and the people were neither represented in Ptsrliament nor in the municipalities of the nation. To Lord John Russell they were mainly indebted for the redress of those grievances, end there could bo no doubt that, by the passing of the Reform measures which that Noble Lord introduced and curried the country was saved froin anarchy and ruin. In a spirit of generosity Lord John Russell had conducted his opposition to his opponents, and advocated the cause of civil and religious freedom. The spirit was to be seen alike in his speech in the House of Commons on the melancholy death of Sir Robert Peel, and in his elo quent and touching allusion at Stirling to the death of the Duke of Wellington, and he trusted that which ever party were in power the same spirit would charac terize the conduct of all.—(Cheers.) The Provost, in proposing the toast, said,—Having said this much, I do not intend longer to deny you the pleasure of hearing Lord John Russell address you. lam the more de lighted to give this toast, seeing that he is the youngest burgess of this city. May he long be spared to enjoy these honours, which are trifling in comparison with the many honoura which he has already reeeived. I give you " The health of Lord John Russell, and success to the cause of civil and religious liberty all over the world."—(The toast was received with tremendous en thusiasm, the whole company rising and cheering for several minutes.) The band played " Saw ye, Johnny, comin'." Lord J. RUSSELL, on rising to acknowledge the toast, was received with an outburst of applause, the com pany standing and the ladies in the gallery w a vin g their handkerchiefs. When the applause had sub sided the ,Noble Lord said, — My Lor d P r o v os t and gentlemen, I feel that, strictly speaking , I could only appear hero as a supporter of m y Noble Friend, Lord Panmure, to whom you ha ve so justly given this testimony of your approbation; but having been admitted to-day a burgess of the city of Perth, and having the freedom given to me in a box of oak, cones posed of part of the dwelling of the Fair Maid of this fair city—(Lauthter) — l feel that, perhaps, I may have a further claim to intrude on you than I should other wise have possessed.—(Cheers and laughter.) Let me, in the first place, before I speak to that noble cause with which you have done me the honour to connect my name, say a few words on the subject of my Noble Friend whom I came here to-day to join y ou i n honour ing.—(Hear.) He has recounted to you most truly that on the formation of Lord M e lb ourne ' s Adminis tration, when I held the seals of th e H ome-off i ce, L o rd Melbourne having desired me to name a whom I should wish to assist me as Under-Secretary, I named my Noble Friend. I did so at that time, not having much personal acquaintance with him, but being struck with the remarkable ability of the speeches be hod made in the country. I must say that my discernment in timethat respect was not at Inuit, because, during the whole d that I was at the Ronne-office, and since, when I country I person conduct in a higher statioe the ' affairs of this ability the intelligence, the prudence, and the no e t have y Noble Ft iend.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, T could been also have derived the greatest advantage from the judgm f t weet that I had of him, satisfied from the intimate knowledge • of that great man that he is impressed with the maxim whom he has derived to whom he has referred, and fromhich is morally wrong, never been contented with these qualities, had I not his name—" That that47,_(Cheers.) While, there fore,can be politically right.' both of us convinced that while that means, we were public benefit, the means should end should , be for the nd honourable.—(Cheere.) Having be always honest a with respect to my political connexion said this much for my Noble Friend, I will with, and my friendship , we were pursuing the same end by the same venture to address some remarks to you with respect to that cause of civil and religious liberty all over the world which you have this day done me the honour to connect with my name. But on speaking upon this sub ject, I am sorry that on the continent of Europe,whether we look to France, to Germany, or to Italy, wa have little cause to congratulate ourselves upon the progress of civil and religious liberty. We shall find that the attempt which was made in 1848 to introduce wild license in place of sober liberty has tented, instead of fixing or extending freedom, to confine the claims of authority, and to make men rush with willingness, nay, with enthusiasm and vehemence, into the arms of despo tism —(`` Hear," and cheers.) We think, however, we have some reason to congratulate ourselves that in the pursuit of civil and religious liberty we have pursued a more sober course, because, while if any one will enu merate the advantages which have been gained to that great cause in this country during the last 20 or 30 years, he will find them immense in numbfrs and precious in value—(Cheers) —and I for one cannot say that at any one moment authority has been really endangered or the constitution rashly overturaed.—(Cheers.) Gentle men, in connexion with this subject, I must mention however, an alarm which has been lately—l was going to say excited, but it is not an alarm which has really been excited, but an alarm which has been attempted to be excited—with respect to the advaaces of democracy. It seems to me that those who at present have the con duct of public affairs, being somewhat embarrassed cs to those measures which my Noble Friend says t rul y are kept in prof oun d secrec y, h av e rather endeavoured to divert public attention from what May be their short comings or dubieties on these subjects, by endeavouring to create a panic that we are at present subject to a fe a rful approach of a wild, unbridled democracy.— (Laughter and cheers.) I hold, myself, that that ala rm is totally groundless.—(Hear, hear.) how ever, my authority will subject, because part of not th be ()onside Perhaps, red great on that .4tatiea rig opinions—ttie: alarm was that I bad &b opinions. 'N'o one said they were supposed to exactly what adopted some other y i wbat they were, but be very was about and highly de mocratic—(Laughter)—that t l hn a: ff about to introduce measures which should have eff ec t at some future time, of shaking the stability of that constitution which I venerate as much as any man in thin y, ° united kingdom. —(Cheers.) Well, I need not say, that subject, th n at it had that this rumour was totally unfounded o me opinion no circumstance on which it rested—that of mine that I had given in public made ject to that insinuation. Whether this Wassub charge, or whether it was an observation a (Laughter)—that made me subject at all to the statement that I had changed to these opinions, and was about to advance in this dangerous and democracies! direction, I will not say. A Right Hon. Friend of mine (Sir G. Grey) told me that he, in his canvass,found some credence to this matter. I asked him what explanation he gave. Ho said his explanation was very simple and very direct. I was by using a monosyllable which I will not now repeat to you.—(Laughter.) Bat, gentlemen, let us look at what is this alarm which is attempted to be created at the present time. Does it mean that the people of this country (who are, in other words, the de mocracy of this country) are seeking to add to their own power at the expense of the Crown or of the House of Lords? Does any one mean to say, really and solemnly, that the people of this country are endeavouring to diminish any of the prerogatives of the Crown? I really believe that nobody could stand up and say that that was really his opinion, because the notorious fact is that at no time in the history of this country have its people been more attached to the Monarchy, or more loyal and affectionate to their Sovereign. Well, then, does it mean that they are attempting to take away the lawful privileges which the House of Lords holds, and to de prive it of its part in the constitution of this country? Now, I think I may appeal to my Noble Friend, who lately entered the House of Lords, whether he has ever heard of such an attempt, where it has been made, and what impediment there has been to the lawful exercise of any power or any privilege which by the constitu tion of this country the House of Lords possesses. Well, then, if that has heen so, that at least is not the charge that is made. It does not mean that the democracy of this conntry—and, be it observed, democracy has as fair a title to the enjoyment of its rights as monarchy or nobility—it does not mean that the democracy of this country is in a state of discontent and disaffection, and is endeavouring to push down this constitution, and to deprive the other branches of that constitution of any powers which lawfully belong to them. That cannot be —that I think we must immediately say cannot for a moment be maintained. But it may mean something else; it may mean something else which it behoves us all to wish—that the democracy of this country—mean ing by that term the people of this country—by increase of power, by increase of intelligence, by in crease of wealth, has increased in that weight which they must have not only in this country, but in each of the countries of the world; has gained an increase in that weight which is duo to a people highly industrious, and earning a competence by their labour, physical and intellectual—employing their minds in the acquirement of knowledge, and in the forming and fostering of that public opinion which is so much the guide and government of this country. But, gentlemen, if these attempts to which I hare lately al luded are made, which, though they have existed, ought to be discouraged and resisted—this fair growth of the honour of democracy—this growth of intelligence —this growth of wealth—this forming of opinions more enlightened and more calculated to carry on, in an en lightened manner, the Government of tee world—this is an increased power which ought not to be crushed, but ought to be encouraged and maintained.—(Enthusiastic cheering.) But I will say more—l will say this, that the manner of dealing with that increase of the powers of democracy could not be according to the old system of restraint with which I was but too familiar during the first few years after I had entered Parliament in 1817 and 1819, which, besides all the faults of an irritation, promoting that discontent which it was intended to check, proved utterly powerless, and had much the same effect as if persons were to attempt to d am up your magnificent river with the view of preventing an inundation—or, to use a simile which applies perhaps more properly to the present time, as if persons were to lock up all the gates of the railroad, with the hope that the express train would be stopped in its course.—(Laughter and applause.) Well, then, that is not the mode in which this increase of the power of democracy ought to be dealt with; but the way in which the power of democracy ought to be dealt with is, by listening to every complaint, by considering every grievance, and by giving a legiti mate and legal organ to that power and influence which otherwise may be mischievous, irregular, and injurious.— (Loud cheering.) That is my way of dealing with that which is con-plained of—this increase of democratic power in this country. Let me ask you, suppose at the time of the revolution in France in 1848, which broke out to the astonishment of all men—suppose we had found ourselves, having followed the blind counsels of those who are our opponents in Parliament—suppose we found ourselves with all the nomination boroughs in full force—with Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield, without representatives —in short, with all the abuses of the old system—suppose we had found a corn-law,which tended to make the food of the people dear and scarce— (Hear, hear)—suppose we had found the people of Ire land discontented and disaffected, in consequence of the denial to them of all civil rights on account of their re ligious beliefs—suppose we had found all these things to be the case in February, 1848—I ask, how should we have mot that revolution which was attempted to he made by some turbulent persons in the spring of that year with the confidence and support of the whole people as we had the glory to do?—(Loud cheers.) I must beg your pardon, gentlemen, for having trespassed thus far with respect to public events and this subject of de mocracy.—(Loud cries of "Go on.") But I do 110 s . think it is of the utmost importance—and I am glad to say that I have an easy task in this respect—l do think it of the utmost importance that the people of this country, and above all, persons of property, s noutd be affected by this vain and grou n dl ess panic --and pro that they should go on, as my not Friend-says, with Noble gress—that they should g o on w i t h improvem e nt, and trust to the confidence which they show —t° the which they exhibit for those bulwarks against democracy wisdom which your violent measures never will produce.

The shareholders of this company have agreed to con vene another meeting for the consideration of the scheme for an extension line from Salisbury to Exeter, ninety miles in length. The line was originally estimated to cost 2,225,000/. as a double line, and for which Parlia mentary sanction was obtained in 1846 and 1847, but the powers were allowed to expire, and the scheme was abandoned. The landowners of the district, headed by the former engineer of the company, who is also a large landowner, have recently come forward with a proposi tion to the company, stating that Mr. Brassey and others are ready to make the line, a single one, for the sum of 1,100,0001, or 12 2001. per mile, finding everything ex cept working stock, on condition that the South-Western Company subscribe 550,0001. towards its construction, and guarantee interest at the rate of 4 per cent. on the other half 550,0001 . , which sum the landowners propose to raise. It is believed that, if the South-Western Com pany agree to the proposition of guaranteeing 4 per cent., that the la❑downers would be enabled, on paying the deposit, to sell the shares at a premium in the maket, and leave the public and the company to make the h❑e, should Parliament sanc tion it. The estimates of engineers have been so often exceeded that it will not be surprising if they are ex ceeded in this instance. The shareholders have practi cally no security whatever that the estimate of costs will , not be exceeded, or the estimates of traffic realised, ' although the parties interested in its construction—di rectors, landowners, engineers, contractors, and lawyers —are all wealthy enough to give ample security for sup plying any deficiency in the estimates; but it is not expected that they will do anything of the kind. From the accounts of the company it appears that in July, 1846, they had expended 2,634,5831. on 93 miles of rail- way, being at the rate of 28,3291. per mile; and up to July, 1852, they had expended 8,614,885/. on 244 miles of railway, being at the rate of 35,3071. per mile. It thus appears that the increase in the capital during the past six years amounted to 5,980,302/, and in the mileage of the railway 151 miles, being at the rate of 39,6051. per mile for the various branch and extension lines; and exceeding the coat of the main line as above by 11,3001. p , r mile, or 40 per cent., the ex ' cess being only 900/. less than the proposed cost of the central line, the construction of which is so strenuously advocated by the landowners of the district. Had the extension lines of the South-Western cost no more than the main line, viz, 28,3291. per mile, they would have been constructed for 4,277,6791, being 1,702,623/. less than they actually cost. Allowing 1,000,000/. for the extra expense of the 21 miles from Vauxhall to the Waterloo• road, there would remain an xcess of cost on the 149 miles of branch lines of 702,0001., or 4,7101. per mile more than the cost of the main line as shown by the accounts of 1846. With re• gard to the revenue, it appears that for the year ending July, 1846, the receipts amounted to 385,0001.. the work log expenses, rates, and taxes to 163,0001,, and the profits to 222,0001. The dividend for the ordinary stock for the half-year ending December, 1845, amounted to 21. 2s. 6d. per share, and for the half-year ending July, 1846, to 1/. 17s. 61; together 41. per share (41i/.); being at the rate of 9/. 16s. per cent. The receipts for the year ending July, 1852, which include four months of the Exhibition traffic, amounted to 663,1771., and the 269,366/, leaving a profit of 393,8111. interest on loans, preference shares, an d on ordinary stock. The dividend for th e half-yearedtoxivpiepdnd sto neasye ending December 31, 1851, was at the rate of 5i per cent. per annum; and for the half-year ending the 20th of June, 1652, at the rate of 3i per cent. per annum, the average being 41 per cent. This shows a falling off in the dividend in consequence of the construc tion of extensions, branches and feeders. from 9,1-, to 4i per cent, the latter including four months of the Exhi bition traffic, without which it would have been about 3} per cent. The traffic on the 93 miles of mail line for the year ending July, 1846, averaged 4,1401. per mile, and supposing that no increase had taken place from development of the traffic, wh'ch is very impro bable, the receipts on the extensions and branches would amount to 1,8461 per mile for the year. But as the traffic on the main line might have increased during the six years about 20 per cent., that would add about 8001. to the traffic per mile on the main line, and l eave the branches with an average traffic of 1,0001. per mile, being about 2i per cent, on the average cost. Before sanctioning any further extension of this undertaking it may be as well for a committee of independent share holders to investigate the whole of the matters connected with the expenditure on the branch lines, the revenue, and the working expenses, and, if pos sible, to ascertain why the cost of their construction per mile has exceeded that of the main line, and how it is that the engineer and contrictor can now construct the proposed central line at 12,2001, a mite, being less than one-third of the average cost of the branches and exten sions already constructed by the company. BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD.—It appears that arrange ments are being made for opening this line throughout on Friday next, the Bth of October. The Lord of the Isles engine, which, it will be remembered, occupied a conspicuous position in the Great Exhibition, is to pro pel the first train. Six trains are to run daily each way between London and Birmingham, four of which will be express trains, and it is said they will perform the en tire distance in about two hours and a half. It is esti mated that the traffic on this line will be about 501, par mile per week. WHIRLWIND AT SEA. The schooner President Jerewie, lying in this port, got under weigh on Friday morning last for St. Vin cent's, but had only got as far as opposite the Five Islands (a few miles from the anchorage-ground of Port of Spain), when an accident of a most unusual and very terrifying nature occurred to her. The master of the vessel had observed some threatening weather com ing on, and had prudently taken in all sail, when he suddenly found his vessel enveloped in the vortex of what is generally known as a waterspout. Ot water, however, he saw none, but of the wind, or whirlwind, more than, in all probability, he would like to see again, or, seeing, be lucky enough to survive to tell the tale. His little vessel, as he describes it, was carried downinto a kind of well (or vortex), and there thrown on her beam-ends. ;She re covered her position, was again thrown down in the same 9y—recovered herself a third time, and was a third time prostrated. In the course of these three upsets, seven of the eleven persons" on board were thrown off the deck into the water; the master himself was thrown over board a second time, after once getting on board out of the vortex. Finally the whirlwind passed over, and ut the seven overboard five succeeded in getting on board again, but two, unfortunately, were drowned; they wore both sailors of the vessel. A passenger, who was sup porting himself by a hencoop ho had been lucky enough to find fl niting about, gallantly gave it up to one, seeing his ago and infirmity, and swam off to a watercask float ing at a greater distance; but the poor man could not keep his hold of the coop, and was drowned. The other man who perished was not seen from the moment he fell from the deck into the sea. The vessel returned to town to report and repair damage, and sailed again on Sunday. being n brigantineg involved coming in the into same por narro wl y t se of Spain Gazette. The cause of ladies' teeth decaying at so much earlier a stage of life than those of the other sex has been usually attributed to the friction of the teeth produced by the action of the tongue. It has, however, been suggested with some gallantry, and perhaps with equal truth, that it is owing to the sweetness of their lips, as it is a fact well estab lished by popular belief, that sweet thii'is spoil the teeth. ~... - ..___ SOLICITORS.

The Antwerp and Rotterdam Railway will be the great connect ing link between the lines of France, Belgium, and Germany at one end, and of Holland at the other, and will form a direct intercom munication with the railways of Central and Southern Europe for the inhabitants of Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and the Hague. It is proposed to effect this national benefit by means of a railway from the Government station at Antwerp to the Meuse at Roddvart, a length of about thirty-five miles, in connexion with a steam-boat service from thence to Rotterdam, a distance of about sixteen miles, until a railway—for which surveys are in progress—is decided upon. In the interval, the steam-boat service is wholly in an inland or river navigation, passengers and goods will be transferred at a railway wharf he deep water, at Roddvart, so that the journey between Ant werp and Rotterdam will be easily and comfortably accomplished in about three hours, instead of occupying ten hours as at present—the fares beinr less than half the present cost. The district to be traversed by this line comprises the best of the Polders of Belgium and Holland, which are of a remarkable richness and fertility. Its dense population enjoys a high condition of wealth and comfort. Whilst the numbers per square mile in Belgium, Eng land, and France, are respectively—Belgium, 382; Great Britain, 231: France, 170 ; the census of the inhabitants located on the three hundred and sixty square miles adjacent to this line gives a total of 291,730 persons, or about 840 per square mile—more than double the general average of Belgium. The branch to Breda, in length about fourteen miles, will secure the traffic from Bois le-Duc, Tilbourg, and a large range of fertile country, from which the o'd and main roads converge towards and unite at Breda. Phis line has long been considered one of the most important and profitable sections of the Dutch and Belgian systems of railway, and has been the object of protracted negotiations between the two Go vernments. The concession for the portion of the line in Holland, which is about three-fourths of the whole, was signed by the King of Holland on the 21st July last. For the five leagues of the line in the Kingdom of Beigum, a convention has been signed by the Minister of Public Works, which on y awaits the meeting of the Legislative Chambers to receive a formal ratifie dion. A convention between the two kingdoms, to establis i this line of communication, has re ceived the Royal assent in both countries, and was formally ex changed on the 4th of last month (see the " Moniteur Beige" of the 14th August, 1852.) The Concession is for ninety years, an 1 the tariff for passengers and goods is similar to that of the Belgian State Railways. This Company is based upon a contract already concluded with a responsib e contractor, Mr. George Wythes, of Reigate, by which he undertakes to purchase the land, and construct he bridges, works of art and stations for a double line; and to execute the earthworks for, and lay down and complete, a sin,le line of rails ; as well as to provide all the rolling stock, plant, and workshops. Provision is also made for the payment, by the contractor, of all preliminary and incidenta l expenses, including the cost of the concession, and also of interest, half-yearly, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, upon the capital called up, until the opening of the line, which is expected to take place in less than two years from the date of the concession. The whole outlay of cap'. al will thus be covered by the contract price of 500,0001., or about 10,0001. per mile, for which fixed suns the shareholders will become possessed of a line of railway with most favoura.ifie gradients and curves, complete and ready for opening. As regards the prospects of traffic, it may be observed that the average gross receipts of the Belgian state railways for the year 1850, as published in the Government statistieal returns, amounted to 1,710/. per mile, which in this case, would give a profit of up wards of 10 per cent. on the guaranteed cost of 10,0001. per mile. It is apparent, however, that the receipts on this line may be ex pected to exceed the average of the 361) on mi in les o the strict t is more than twice as dense as the general average of the glum, and in a condition of greater prosperity. Second, becauseforms a direct prolongation of the railway from Brussels to Antwerp, which is probably the most productive section of railway in Europe —pro ducing an average receipt of about 6,000/. per mile per annum. Third, because this line, from its position, must command the greater part of the through tr,flc between Holland, Belgium, France, and the South of Europe—the extent of which may be judged of from the fact that the value of the merchandise transported to and fro be tween Belgium and Holland amounted in the year 1850 to a value of 4,429,9891., which was in great part received at, and sent from, Antwerp. These statements are based upon the annual publication of the details of foreign commerce, made by the Belgian Minister of Finance.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in tbis country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under !ha Personal supervision of Dr. I.a.'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and up.- divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculi a rity relating to the tre atment of the diseases incidental Dr. to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate of cure are described in detail. The professional reputation La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abr oad, is in itself a sufficient that guarantthose who may place themselves under his care will, in every Instance • ' meet with that d elicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases. - Published by the Author, and may be had of J.

Well, then, if such be the case, let us know what the relief is. Let us be put in possession of this groat s ecret .— ( C heers an d l au ght e r.) It will not do for thorn to b e putt i ng off. I think the farmers themselves would then say, •' Who can hold a fire in his hand by thinking of the frosty Caucasus?" f ?

I know it appears to me—lm ay b e wrong in this respect, bit I know it appears t o me some what like the case fund in no historical work, and of which there is no precedent among statesmen, but of which there are precedents to be found in the practice of daily life—l mean of the patient who seeks fora regular phys clan, sad who says to him. "I feel very much depressed; I have not been well for some time; .1 want to be cured:' The physician says to Lim, "I see what it is; I am sorry to observe that for a long course of years your regimen has been very unhealthy, and that you have lived on artificial stimulants.—(Laughter.) advise you to return to wholesome food and exercise, and to trust to na!ure for your recovery."—(A. laugh.) Well, I have very often heard that that patient has been very much dissatisfied with this advice, and that he has said, " This is a trumpery fellow of a physician, who tells me nothing but to lead a wholesome life; it is not worth listening to his advice; I will turn him off and send for some one else." He has only to take up a newspaper, and he will find the announcements of persons who say that, without any confinement, without any inconve nience, by merely taking a few pills, the patient shall be restored entirely to health, and shall never have any reason to complain afterwards, but, on the contrary, shall be strong and vigorous for the next twenty years of his life.—(Laughter.) I cannot help thinking that the present case is likely in the end to turn out some thing like thi:.—(Cheers.) But mind, my suspicions may be unjust. I may have the. envy of .the discarded physician.—(A laugh.) I may be the person who. gave that unpalatable advice. I may, to end the metaphor, think that the happiness, welfare, and prosperity of the agricultural classes are to be sought for in the general welfare and prosperity of the country—(Cheers)—and in the use of those wholesome energies which the people of this country possess. That was my advice, and it has turned out, I believe, an advice upon which, if the pa tient bad continued to act, be would have found himself restored to health without any nostrums. But by all means let us know what this nostrum is; let us know what the medicine is which is to produce such wonderful effects, and to result in such universal satisfact ion . If such medicine is procured and produces those effects, I must own I was utterly wrong, and admit that the con trivances and medicines and doctoring of this kind are really what was most useful for the body politic. But, gen tleman, as all this is to be told us in November, all I can say is, that I think and I trust, when we meet in No vember, we shall confine ourselves, in the first instance, to asking what the course is that is to be proposed; and when we have heard what that course is, we shall then consider what ought to be our course with respect to it. —(Hear, hear.) In the meantime it is a satisfaction to all those who belonged to the late Government, and my Noble Friend among others—it is a satisfaction to them that we did not leave this country depressed and ruined, but that, on the contrary, during the time in which we held office, it made progress in p rosperity, and that many of those prooriptions and monopo lie s which then still remained have been struck off by our exertions. —(Cheers.) I have had the satisfactio n o f assisting in the destruction of several of these monopol ies; and I w ould appeal to a Protectionist Member lately elcted in a northern English county, who proclaimed aloud the state of prosperity and the state of activity which pre vailed both in the shipping and agricultural inte rest. He certainly came to curse us, but he has blessed us altogether.—(Loud cheers.) Let me add on this occasion, as my name has been connected with the toast of civil and religious liberty, th at there was one blot on the civilization of the world—th e accursed African slave•trade—which we have been so - tive and, I trust, successful in abating.—(Cheers.) thank you for listening to the sentiments I have ex pressed to you to-day. It is a great honour to me that having been many years in Parliament I should receive this testimony of your approbation. I trust I shall con tinue to act in a similar spirit, and that you will give me your confidence; and although you may think that my judgment may be mistaken in many points that may come before us for consideration, you will, at least, give me credit for being actuated by an hones t desire to do my duty.—( The Noble Lord resumed his seat amid loud and reiterated applause.) The VICE.PRESIDENT then gave " The health of the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, M P., tor the city." Mr. KINNAIRD in acknowledging the toast, said he ,hought the Liberal party might take encouragement from the sentiments which had that day been expressed ivy the cliff ,, r ,, nt speakers. He might be permitted to sly that is grave responsibility would rest on that Mi nister, or Lit st Government who should venture at this time of day to p,overn the country by a reacting or a retrograde policy, or on the plan which the present Government seemed disposed to adopt—that of a stand still policy. The revolution which had taken place in the material world by the discovery of steam and of electricity was the very type of the age in which we lived; and es we would deem that man of business in- Salle who would not take advantage of the electric wires, or who, from some antiquated prejudice, should still travel at the old rate of ten miles en hour, so should we detm that Government incapable of conducting the affairs of this country, and unmindful of the interests of the people, who would return to the system of class le gislation.—(Cheers.) Lord PANStURE, in proposing "The health of men of all parties," among other things, said—With respect to the Conservative portion of the constituency, I am happy to have this opportunity of bearing my testimony to their uprightness and their worth; to their upright. ness and conscientiousness, inasmuch as, when a fair op portunity offered, they were not backward to assert their principles, and support a candidate of their own opinions; hut when they found that an overwhelming body of the electors of this city had declared in favour of progress and of freedom, they had the good sense, and that respect for the peace of the community, that, when they found their case was hopeless, they fought not an agitating battle. Nay, more than this, they have always been ready to throw themselves into the scale when they considered it necessary; and I be lieve there is no body—no portion of the electors who, in their sphere, are more respectable than the Conserva tive body. Mr. 181:NCRIEFF. M.P. for Leith, gave " The Protes tant Clergy of all d,ne m i eak i ons. , , The Rev. Dr. G —UTIIRIE ) of Edinburgh, acknowledged the too: t. Several other toasts arid speeches followed, chiefly of local interest, the most important being " T that he of Health of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who, in ping chairman, the Lord Provost," said, a f ter e ulogiging the which is there is no distincti on w hich Scotland e n j y ° history, more honourable to h e r than he r e ducational d is and the the w a y i n w hi c h s he conside 8r s education tem of education portant to h er .

In Scotland , however, the question is in a riper state.—(Cheers.) The other public toasts were briefly disposed of.
