The Committee of the London and York Shareholders, finding that the Directors without consulting the Shareholders, or calling a public meeting to , ascertain their senthnents, have entered into ar rangements by which the Shareholders will be sacrificed unless they protect themselves, beg to call attention to the following terms of amalgamation which they have arranged with the Eastern Counties Company, subject to the approval of Parliament. let. That if the London and York Bill shall not pass into a law, And the Extension line to York of the Eastern Counties Company be sanctioned by Parliament, in the present or next session, the share holders In the London and York Company who shall assent to the amalgamation prior to the decision of Parliament on the Bill, shall be entPled to one Eastern Counties (York Extension) Share of 151., in respect of each 50/. share in the London and York Company, and of each two Loudon and York Extension Shares of 251. That each such Share of 151. shall, when so issued, be credited with the deposit of ten shillings, as having been paid thereon. The Committee with the greatest confidence appeal to the Share holders, collectively , sad individually, whether the terms of this amal • gamation be not far preferable for their interests to those announced by the Birectors of the London and York Company on the sth of May, as having taken place with the Direct Northern Company. The advertisement of the London and York Company, calling for the Scrip to be brought in and indorsed with the terms of amalga tion with the Direct Northern Company, is evidentlY for the purpose of informing Parliament what number of assents to that amalgama tion have been given. In like manner, and for the like p ur p ose the Committee request the Shareholders to produce the Scrip to their Com mutes, a t iNo.4, Sise-lane, accompanied, to save time , with a me of orandue the Scrip, St a s t i i l 7 the name and address of the holder, the qu antit y the distinguishing numbers ; and, on these being compared and found correct, the Scrip will be marked, so as to secure the holder th e which t of the amal ga m a tion w ith the Eastern Counties equally guaranteed an p d r .a eferable in a pecuniary point of view, and By order of U. e Committee, NRY London and York Sh areholders' Comml ttee-REooms, PHILIPPS. 4, Sim-lane, London, Itay 7, 1846.

EYE -BROWS, MOUSTACHES, and WI-lis t:A KERS produced in a few weeks by using an essential Spirit drawn from choice Aromatic Herbs, the peculiar properties of which are known only to the Inventor, and although perfectly inno cent in itself, will produce new Hair on bald places, caused by weak ness of constitution, or where Nature has not bestowed this orna ment of the human figure. It has been known to many of the Nobi .ity and Gentry upwards of eleven years, some of whom the Inven tor most sincerely thanks for their attestation of its merits, in the certainty ef restoring Hair and giving it additional lustre and strength. Its virtues are manifold—it prevents the Hair from fall ing off or turning gray; a few drops on the crown of the head will remove the most distressing pain in that part produced by or at tended with faintness; and is acknowledged by the Faculty as the only specific known to cure that disease of the head called Porigo de ealvans (which causes the Hair to come oft in patches) ; a few applications remove' dandruff. This wonderful discovery is fully ex plained in a pamphlet, containing testimonials to its regenerating new Hair upon bald places, entitled, " Three Minutes' Advice on the Growth and Preservation ef the Human Hair," by W. Grimstone, Inventor of the Aromatic Regenerator for the Growth ef the Human Hair, and a certain preventative of headache and fainting ; also a toilet perflime—bearing the Inventor's signature, Herbary, High gate, near London.

Neither the cares of office, nor the duties of a legislator, are permitted so entirely to engross his Grace's time as to prevent his devoting some attention to the fruits of ingenuity, and the results of enter• prise.

CREMORNE GARDRNS' STADIUM —Yesterday an appeal was made against the decision of the Magistrates in refusing to grant a license to Mr. Ellis, the present proprietor of the Stadium, Cremorne Gardens. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, Mr. Bodkin, and Mr. Huddlestone appeared on behalf of the appellant; and Mr. Clarkson and Mr. E. Wild on the part of the respondents. There were several petitions read, pray ing that the license might be refused, one of which was signed by two Roman Catholic clergymen of St. Mary's cathedral, Chelsea, and which stated that they hail receiveo several communications concerning the very improper manner in which the Stadium was carried on. Mr. CLARKSON called .several witnesses, some of whom spoke to having seen very improper and immoral acts take place within the walls of the gardens, and.to the demoralis ing effect it would have upon the minds of the people if the license were granted. There were three or four witnesses who spoke of the continual disturbances which took place nightly after the amusementsof Cremorne Gardens were over. After hearing Mr: Sergeant Wit.xtrts for the appellant, a division took place; and there were 23 fbr granting the license, and 4 against it. _ _ _ Mr. 'SergeantAnAms said he perfectly am reed with the ma jority of the Magistrates, and hoped Mr. ° Ellis would do al in his power to make the gardens a respectable place o: amusement. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. John Bannister Faulkner and Mr. Bentham Fa • bian, who have been concerned in certain railway spe culations, were charged before Alderman Gibbs, under the following remarkable circumstances, by Mr. Leon Solomons, of No. 66, Jermyn-street, St. James's. As the case comprehended eet.sesirZi' forgery of shares, the d'ustict-room was crowded with speculating individuals and members of the Stock Exchange. Zsolicitor at tended for the complainant, and Mr. Ballantine, of the bar, appeared for the defendants. Mr. Solomons, upon being sworn, stated as follows : The first time I ever saw Fabian was the day before yesterday. In the early part of March a gentleman came to my house, and brought with him a Mr. Richards, who he said wanted some money upon a quantity of scrip. He produced 500 shares in the Buckinghamshire Railway Company, and in the Bletch ley and Oxfordshire Junction Railway Company, and I ultimately lent money on these shares. He gave me a letter stating that I was at liberty to sell the shares if they should fall to one pound discount per share. I advanced Mr. Richards 4501. upon shares which I afterwards sold. I subsequently saw Mr. Richards, and advanced him 2001. upon 200 of the same shares. They were then within an eighth of par, and two guineas had been paid upon each of them. On Wednesday last Mr. Richards called upon me with Mr. Fabian, who, he said, was a friend of his, and I said to him, Mr. Richards, you promised to come and settle the former transaction, to whieh he replied that h e h a d no money at present, but he expected some in a few days, and he stated that both he and his friend wanted money on good security. I asked him what security, and he replied shares, the same sort of scrip which I had before, and of which a great quantity was possessed by his friend. I asked him where they were, and Mr. Richards said his friend had them in the City, and we agreed upon the terms, and Mr. Fabian went away, leaving Mr. Richards at my place, and returned in about an hour and half, and brought me 400 of those scrip produced. I e a h g e r q ee n d e f t o o r le t t ha t t he a m mou h n a t v . e T 4 h B e o y l., sa a i n d d t l hey ga w ve an t t h e e d m th a e money very particularly to pay to Mr. Faulkner by four o'clock this day. I said, I can't give you the money, because I want your name across the cheque. Mr. Fabian said, if Mr. Richards will write his name across the cheque, you can discount your own cheque. I said, Very well; I have no objection to do that, and I did so accordingly. Mr. Richards put his name across the cheque, and I paid Mr. Fabian four notes of 1001. each, one 201. note, and six 10/. notes. They took the money , and went away. Yesterday morning I received infor mationof from Old B my r o a bankers,d- tree, that the scrip st n P were' Messrs. W a Princep,ll forge ries. Co., I said that I had a large quantity more, and I pro duced them, and found that they were all forgeries. Broad-street, er I then went and consulted my solicitor, and from him to my brokers, and I was advised to look after the man. I went to the office of Mr. Faulkner, and Mr. Fabian, at No. 75, Old Broad-street, and I asked for Mr. Richards. A person in the office said be was not there. I observed at the same time a person in tlie next room, and I went over towards it, when the door was closed in my face. I immediately pushed the door back and saw another door behind it, through which the individual, whom I afterwards found to be Mr. Fabian, escaped. Mr. Faulkner was in the room at the time. Mr. Fabian, when he got outside the door, ran as fast as he could, and I followed and cried out after him. A crowd collected, and Mr. Fabian finding that I was following him stopped, and said he would return with me and explain. He did return with me to the office. I asked him where he got the scrip which he gave to me on the day before ? He replied, from a friend. I asked him what friend, but he merely said " Oh, from a friend." I asked him why he ran away. He replied that he did not run away, but he was going to his bankers. I said to him, " You ran as fast as you could, and you stopped when you saw me determined to follow you." He denied it. " I then said, " Where is my money, my 4801. that I gave you yesterday ? ' "Oh !" said he, " I have got the money -quite sale, and I'll give it you back again." He added, that he supposed if he would give me back the money that was all I wanted. Alderman GIBBS—Had you mentioned that the scrip were forgeries at the time ? Witness—Yes ; I told him I heard they were forgeries. Mr. Princep, my broker, who was present at the time, said he did not think that I was in a condition to take the money, as Mr. Fabian, it appeared had had many more transactions with Mr. Rickards. Mr. Fabian said that such was the case. I then asked Mr. Fabian where my money was, and he said if I wou l d go w i t h hi m i n a ca b, h e would give it back to me. Mr. Princep said he did not think I could take the money, but advised that we should go to my legal adviser. That was agreed upon, and Mr. Faulkner, Mr. Fabian, and myself, went into a cab, a police officer having got upon the box with the driver, and drove off to my solictor. In going along I told Mr. Faulkner of the 2001. transaction I had with Mr. Richards on the 30th of April, and that Mr. Richards said he had had the shares of him, and had given him the money. Mr. Falkner said that such was the fact—Mr. Richards had given him the 2001., and whatever transaction I had aantd tchoem coming with Mr. Richards, they (Faulkner and Fabian) would make good to me. I said it would be to their interest to find Mr. Richards, and they both said I might depend upon it they would do so. We went then into my soli citor's office, and Mr. Fabian said, in answer to several questions, that Mr. Richards was well known to him, and a very particular friend of his . ; but he could not, he said, tell where the gentleman was, or where he resided. Mr. Ballantine—To whom did you lend this scrip, after you got it from Mr. Fabian ? Witness—lt never went from my hands until I put it in the hands of the police officer. Mr. Ballantine —Never into any broker's hands ? Witness—Never. I do not keep a jeweller's shop, but I have a good stock. Mr. Princep, of 75, Broad -street, stated that he did not know Mr. Fabian, or Mr. Faulker, at all. Mr. W. J. Parker, of No. 7, Tokenhouse-yard, i a member of the Stock Exchange, stated that he was in formed by one of the directors of the Buckinghamshire Railway Company, that a great many forgeries of the scrip had been issued, and he believed that all those produced were forgeries. Daniel Forester, the officer, showed that the scrip exhibited were palpable forgeries. Mr. Ballantine wished to be informed whether the Buckinghamshire Railway Company was not winding up its affairs ? The Secretary to the Company replied that the Com pany was not winding up its affairs. It was regularly before Parliament. The solicitor to the complainant then requested the Alderman to remand the case until Tuesday. r i t l y t e d e a n t d h iadt and the open.con- Mr. Ballantine had no objection to a remand, but he hoped the Alderman would accept of bail, which could Scrip, the Learned Counsel observed, was a mere war. rant for the delivery of shares. dbenegtiovefnthteo gentlemen I s e r e u n n w t. as H pa e rt s ic u u n Mr. Goodman (the chief clerk) said he looked upon under the head of " valuble security." scrip as a warrant for the payment of money, and The defendants were then remanded till Tuesday. BOW-STREET. POST-OPTICS ROBBERY AT GRAVESEND. —John Farm , described as a detective as brought up in the custody Farme r the officers of the force, e n d before Mr. Jardine, charged with b e i ng concerned with others not in custody, with breaking and entering the Post office at Gravesend, and stealing a letter bontaining five 201.- notes. Mr. Peacock, who attended for the prosecutio n , • said that in the month of June last the Post -office had been entered by means of false keys, and three mail bags stolen, one which contained .a letter with th ree notes of the C of Bank,neg which otiated. the witnesses present wou l d anterbury had prove the prisoner George Wittick, assistant in the service of Messrs. Sewell and Cross, linendrapers, in Frith-street, Soho, stated that about six o'clock in the afternoon of Monday, 6th of April last, he recollected the prisoner coming to his employer's shop to inquire for blankets, which he purchased or 195., and also a shawl for 16s. 9d., which he paid for with a 201. note of the Canterbury Bank, No. 742, and dated Feb, 18th, 1845. Witness took it to another assistant, - who approved of it, and having endorsed it, witness gave the prisoner the change. He also purchased a stock for the neck, and the articles being tied up in paper, the prisoner took them away. He gave the name and address of Cook, residing at 0 • in Kent. onathan Wither, a detective officer, said that on Thurs day evening he met the prisoner in W ych - street,Strand and having seen him enter several public-houses, he eventually ' followed him to No. 163, Sloane-street, Chelsea. He * saw him yesterday, and as he was leaving his house, tenat t gam o'clock, the witness Wittick stopped him. Witness told him that he was an officer, and that he apprehended him on a charge of robbing the Gravesend Post-office, and he replied that it was all a mistake, at the same time asking at what time the robbery occurred, and when the note in question was changed. He was told that the note had been changed on the 6th of last month. He replied that he could prove that he was in France at the time. At the station he refused to give his name or address, and the stock produced, which was identified by the witness, was taken from his neck, together with a sayer watch and chain produced. He then gm lib S Ny MA Y .9, 1846. name, and said that he had no fixed place of abode, but oc casionally lived at Leamington, near Coventry. On search ing his house the new plair of blankets produced were found, and identified by the last witness. Inspector Hayes said there was reason to suspect that the prisoner had been concerned in several railway robberies that had been committed, particularly at the terminus of the Dover Railway, and Dr. Roberts, who had arrived from France, on the 29th last month, was present to identify his property that bad been found at the prisoner's house. Mr. JARDINE considered it preferable to entertain the charge at a future day. The mail bags taken at the time of the robbery were the London and Dartford and Deptford, and the prisoner is known as having passed under several names, but Bloomfield is the name by which he is known to the extensive fraternity to which he belongs. The prisoner was remanded. FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, MAY s.—The average price of wheat in the week end. lug on Saturday the 2d of Slay, was 231. 43e. , and that of ry'i 16f. 96c. per hectolitre.

THE TENDENCY OF FREE TRADE to Pro mote Permanent and Universal Peace. A Lecture delivered on Thursday Evening, February 26, 1846, at a Meeting of the " Plymouth Free Trade Associa tion," by the Rev. W. J. Odgers. All members of Peace Societies should " read, mark, and inwardly digest" this admirable little pamphlet. It points out the only common sense method by which peace between the various nations of the earth can be permanently preserved. It is all very well to argue on the unreasonableness of war, to show how contrary it is to; the precepts of true Christianity, and to depict its horrors in the glowing language of poetry ; but until all the world becomes reasonable—until all the world becomes really and truly Christian—that is to say, until the Millenium, such arguments will have little effect upon the bulk of mankind. But establish free trade—by so doing make it the personal interest of every individual mem ber of every community to keep up and extend com mercial (and consequently amicable) relations with every other member of every other community (and free trade will do this), and war will disappear from the face of the earth, because war will be contrary to the interest of every industrious man. No matter what may be the form of government, the industrious classes of all na tions exercise, even at the present. moment, either directly or indirectly, a vast influence on the legislative and executive powers which rule their respective coun tries ; and the influence, where it is now indirect, will eventually become direct, and where it is direct, it will become more and more influential. It has increased, is increasing, and cannot and ought not to be diminished. When free trade, therefore, shall be permanently esta blished, there will be practically an end of war, because it will be then contrary to tne personal interest of every influential member of every community. ANNUITIES TO VISCOUNT HARDINGE AND LORD GOUGI/.—Yesterday the Bills before Parliament to grant the annuities to Viscount Hardinge and Lord Gough, in conside ration, as it is expressed, of their " great and brilliant ser vices," were printed. The annuity, as it is known, to Viscount Hardinge is to be 3,000/. and his two next heirs, and to Lord Gough 2,000 L, with the same limitation. It is provided by the Bill that in the event of the East India Company grant-. ing an annuity of 5,000/. for the life of Viscount Hardinge, then the grant of 3,0001. by this Act shall cease to be made ; and with respect to the annuity by Parliament to Lord Gough, it is stated to be the intention of the company to grant an annuity of 2,000/. for his life, and in that event then only one•half of the annuity now proposed shall be payable to Baron Gough. ROMAN CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL.-Mr. Watson's Bill for the further repeal of enactments imposing pains and penal ties upon her Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects on account of their religion was yesterday issued as amended by the Committee. Three clauses have been added to the Bill, one prohibiting the exercise of the rites of the Roman Catholic Church in public streets; another to compel members of a religious order in England, at the commencement of the Act, to deliver within six months a notice or statement of and concerning himself and his order in the form prescribed, and those who come and reside after a certain period (to be men tioned) shall deliver a similar notice to the clerk of the peace of the county. The third clause requires the clerks of the peace to preserve and register such notices, and to send a copy to the Secretary of State, the Chief Secretary of the Lord-Lieutenant in Ireland, "or other chief governor or governors of Ireland." ALARMING FIRE IN THE CORNWALL -ROAD, LAMBETH. —This morning, shortly after midnight, a fire of a serious character broke out upon the premises numbered 109, in the Cornwall-road, Lambeth, occupied by Mr. C. Davis, boot and shoemaker. At the time of the outbreak there were .six fa milies sleeping in the several apartments of the building, and the discovery was made by one of them, who experienced a most suffocating sensation from smoke and flame. In the course of a few moments, the poor creature who was thus suddenly awakened appeared at the first floor window, and at that critical juncture Inspector Carter came up, attended by constable L 133. The officers entered the premises, and the inspector, in rushing up stairs, had his hand slightly burned, in consequence of some one forcing the door, and causing a considerable draught of air to enter the premises. Fortunately, the police maintained their ground, and the re sult was that all the parties were rescued. The flames mean time continued to extend, until the whole premises, from the basement to the roof, were burned through, and the whole of the contents destroyed. Engines from the several stations of the fire brigade, and from the West of England and the County Fire-offices, were very speedily upon the spot, and the mains of the Lambeth Water-works yielding an abun dant supply of water, the flames were soon subdued, and the adjoining property saved. The fire, however, extended to the premises of Mr. Oollins, the Eight Bells, 108, in the road, which were considerably injured by the fire and water. By dint of great perseverance, the flames were subdued by half past one o'clock. How the fire originated could not be ascer tained, nor whether the parties were insured. The police were exceedingly effective in the discharge of their duties, and in preventing idle and other persons from impeding the efforts of the firemen. CHETNOLE.—INCENDIARY FIRES.—At about half past ten on the evening of Tuesday last, Mr. Pollock, a res pectable inhabitant of this place, was much alarmed by dis covering that a linhay adjoining his dwelling-house was on fire. The buildings being thatched, fears were at first enter tained for the safety of the whole of the premises, but as sistance being quickly at hand, a portion of the thatch was removed, and we are happy in being able to state that the tire was confined to the outhouse, which was entirely destroyed. A short time previously to the discovery of the above fire, the summer-houses belonging to Guy Champion, Esq., of Stokewood, situate about a mile distant, were ob served to be in flames, and these also were wholly consumed. There is not the least doubt that these fires were the wanton acts of Soule villainous incendiary, to whom we regret to add, no clue has yet been obtained.—Sherborne Journal. inflicted.

The principal explained the case, observing that however his workmen laboured, the engines could never be com- Eleted in time ; and the consequence would be th a t h e and is partners would have to pay the penalty. "Oh ! indeed," replied the foreigner in broken English, having first ascer tained the amount of penalty imposed, " be good enough to complete them for me, and I w ill p ay you your price and the penalty into the bargain.

The bargain was struck, and hearing of their loss the com p any i mmediately sent down a responsible agent to the same firm to order fifteen more, but he received the following reply to his application :—" Oh no, we can take no more orders yet a bit.

CAPTAIN O'Surxxv.ax.—The numerous admirers of the popular author of " Stories of Waterloo" will be glad to learn that he is about to afford them a further supply of pleasant reading, by the publication of a narrative from his lively pen, bearing the title of " Captain O'Sullivan ; or, Adventures, Civil, Military, and Matrimonial, of a Gentleman on Half-pay." We have every reason to believe that Mr. Maxwell, in no previous work, has been so bountiful of en tertainment, and that it is scarcely possible to imagine a more amusing hero than the gallant gentleman whose story he has undertaken to relate. He is the beau-ideal of a young Irish officer, a gay-hearted, rollicking, fortune-hunting ad venturer, everlastingly in love or in mischief—clever, hand some, and irresistably agre ea bl e, an d equally in favour among convivial associates of his own sex as with the most senti mental of his, perhaps, too numerous acquaintances of the other.

PORTSMOUTSI, MAY B.—The Penelope, 22, steam-frigate, Commodore Jones, arrived at Spitbead this afternoon, from the West Coast of Africa station, in consequence of the ill health of the Commodore, who is on board, not expected to live. Captain Manse!, of the Action, 26, was left in charge of the station, with a broad pendant. The vessel not havinv: received pratique, no one was allowed on board up to 5 Pal. She saluted on coming up. Captain Horatio Austin, 1838, late 'of the Cyclops, is ap pointed supernumerary Ca7tain of the St. Vin Cent, to super intend the machinery of toe steam squadron The Alert, 16; Commander Bosarquet, and the Larne, 18, Commander Brisbane, were at St. Helena on the Ist ult. The America, 50, Commodore the Hon. J. Gordon, sailed from St. Blas, for Valparaiso, with 2,000,000 dollars specie on board, on the 2d pf March. Having been informed that our account of the Brilliant's armament was incorrect, we paid a visit to her at the dock yard to- day, and find that we had indeed made a mistake, but an excusable one, inasmuch as she has actually six quakers or wooden representatives of guns on the main deck. These are fitted with carriages. &c., like the others, so that the deception is complete; They represent four 68- pounders and two 32's ; and are placed, strange to say, in the midship part of the main deck. • The use of quakers in the navy is so unusual, that nothing but ocular demonstra tion could have convinced us of its reality,. nor can we no w account for it, any more than we can for the extraordinary disposition of the real armament. The two 32 -pounders on the spar deck are only useless lumber, and tend to increase the vessel's crankness. They ought to have been placed On the main deck, and the guns removed from the captain's cabin, where, if quakers were used at all, short muzzles could have been nailed to the half ports. Such an arrange ment would have eased the ship in pitching and scudding very materially, whereas by the present one she will be as effectually strained. The captain's cabin would also have been more commodious, and this without detracting from the effective force of the vessel. She has taken in her addi tional ballast. and is re-stowing her hold. She will most likely go to Spithead again to-morrow or Monday.— Times. The St. Vincent will go to sea on Monday for a short trip, to give the greenhorns a little seasoning. The Sir Robert Sale, hired freight-ship, sailed for Landon this afternoon. She arrived on the sth. The Barretti Junior transport, Lieut. Edward Griffiths, agent, arrived yesterday morning from Bermuda, with con victs whose terms have nearly expired. They have been put on board the York hulk. The Fisguard, 42, Captain Duntz, was at St. Blas on the 13th of March, and expected to be at Valparaiso in February, 1847, en route to England. SHEERNESS, MAY B.—The Cuckoo, steak Lieut.-Com mander A. Parks, arrived on Monday from the coast of Scotland, to refit, for which purpose she will be hauled into dock to-day. When completed she will return to head quarters at Leith. The Cornwall and Conquestador, 50-gun frigates, reported ready for the pendant last week, are ordered to be discharged from the basin and take their place among the advance ships in ordinary. The Dido, 20, has had her bowsprit gammoned, and the order for her commissioning is expected daily. She is a post captain's command. The Havannah, 22, razee, is the next vessel for commis sion. She has been recaulked and repainted during the past week. Her masts are nearly ready, and will be put in place shortly, when she will be reported ready for the pendant. The Wildfire, steam-tender, Second-Master Brockman, took the Commander-in -Chief to Woolwich on Monday, and will return with him on Saturday. The African steamer, Second -Master Barke, has been to London with a number of supernumeraries, who were to proceed to Portsmouth per railway. The Griffin, brigantine, is to be reported ready for sea on the 16th. She has taken her guns on board, and is com pleting provisions for five months. Her armament consists of one pivot-gun, a 32-pounder, weighing 40 cwt., amidships, and two 24-pounder carronades. The Rochester, lighter, arrived from Portsmouth with stores on Wednesday. The Goodwill and Falmouth have proceedad to Chatham. In Dock—The Worcester, 50; the Chichester, 50 ; the Horatio, 44; and the Dart, 3, building. In Harbour—The Ocean, 80, flag. ship pro tem. ; and the African and Cuckoo steamers. CHATHAM, MAT B.—The Mancenvrer sailed on the 7th instant, with the frame timbers for the Nankin, 50 guns, ordered to be built at Woolwich. The following naval lighters remain loading, viz., Fal mouth, for Woolwich ; the Aid, for Sheerness ; the Sinbad, for Deptford ; and the Goodwill, for Sheerness yard. - The Cumberland, 70 guns, has been removed from her moorings in Chatham-reach, to moorings at Gillingham reach. Captain William Henry Shirreff, Superintendent of Chat. ham Dockyard, we regret to state, was taken suddenly unwell on the sth instant, and is now confined to his bed. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Cnamast, MAY 7.—This afternoon the following detach ments arrived at the Invalid Hospital, Fort Pitt, from India, consisting of 4 men of the 9th Queen's Royal Lancers, and 1 man of the 16th Lancers ; with 1 sergeant major, 1 corporal, and 13 privates of the 10th Foot; and 1 quarter-master ser geant, 5 corporals, and 13 privates of the 29th Regiment, with 5 women and 12 children, in charge of Brevet Captain R. G. Kackenzie, of the 50th Foot. -- The detachments came by the ship Ellenborough, Captain Closs ; they embarked at Calcutta on the Gth of January last, and arrived off Gravesend this morning, and during the voyage, which was made in one hundred and twenty (iays, the troops lost by death two men of the 9th Lancers, and one man of the 29th. A sergeant's wife, during the passage, jumped overboard and was drowned. Several of the soldiers are blind, and others, upon medical inspection, were placed in hospitals. The remainder were sent to the invalid depot, St. Mary's Barracks, to await their discharge on pensions according to their len g th o f servitude. Troop -sergeant major Riddler, of the A troop of the 9th Lancers, died a few days previous to the detachments embarking. A detachment from the provisional battalion, consisting of 2 subalterns, 6 sergeants, 5 corporals, and 75 privates, march from this garrison on the Bth instant, and embarked at the Sun-pier, to proceed by the Victoria steam-boat for gar rison duty at Sheerness, to relieve the grenadier company of the 65th, which returns to Chatham to join their head quarters. - The 65th Regiment , under orders for embarkation for Van Diemen's Land, by the ship Java, consisting of 2 field officers, 4 captains, 3 lieutenants, 5 ensigns, and 4 staff, 29 sergeants, and 600 rank and file, with 77 women, and up wards of 100 children, were medically inspected this day, and the medical report was transmitted this evening to the Horse Guards. The measles is still in the regiment. The removal of the regiment depends on the report of the medi cal inspector. THE FORTIFICATIONS AT SHEERNESS. - The im provements now in progress at Sheerness, under the direction of the engineers of the Board of Ordnance, are very exten sive, and are rapidly completing. The Dockyard and lower part of Bluetown will be entirely within the forts, and be inclosed with heavy batteries and a deep moat, into which the sea will flow every tide. The water can be retained, and additional security thereby attained if required. The bat teries, when completed, will have a very formidable appear ance. Guns of large calibre will be mounted along the entire line, from the entrance of the Medway to the line command ing the Nere. - ROYAL ARTILLERY.—I 09 recruits arrived at the garrison at Woolwich at half-past 11 o'clock, r.m., from Ire land, having been brought down the river at that late hour by the Niobe, Woolwich steam-packet, hired for the occasion to await their arrival by railway from Liverpool. Permis sion was granted to the landlord of the canteen of the Royal Artillery Barracks to open his house to s u pply th e men with refreshment at 12 o'clock at night. Sixty-six of these recruits are to be posted to the 10th battalion. It is in con templation to add considerably to the accommodation of this branch of her Majesty's service at bead-quarters at Woolwich, as the importance of artillerymen to assist at the fortifications on the coasts of this country is now evident, and it will require a number of men to render them efficient. Several of the store-rooms in the barracks are to be converted into dwelling-rooms fur the staff-sergeants, and the p rem i s es at the present occup i ed by the staff-sergeants are to be fitted for . officers' q u arte rs. The store-rooms above the stables in the l lery- square are to be emptied andmade ki3 intoa l Mor s e comfortableArtil t barracks for the men, and the under-ground rooms adjo iningiange converted into store-rooms, the change being square are to be being made for the advantage of the men, who will then have very healthy barrack-rooms. It was anticipated th a t M a j or Hope's company, first on the roster for foreign service, would have proceeded to Hong-Kong, but it is not probable they will embark for that quarter of the world, as it is in tended to send out a full company to Australia, in addition to the half company or large detachment already at New Zealand, and the whole of the artillery force in that risin g and important colony will be placed under the command of a field officer. M ajor Hope 's company, being the first for foreign service, is expected to proceed to Australia. CIISTOMB.—The officers employed in this branch of the revenue, as well at the port of London as at every outport and place along the coasts of and throughout the United Kingdom, of every grade and department of the service, have recently been furnished with amended and revised copies of instructions as to the mode of performing their official duties, and the manner in which the several rules and regulations of the department are to be carried into effect, in respect to their particular and individual sta tion and capacity, for the joint advantage of the public and the trade of the country, and the interests of the Crown under which they are privileged to serve. This has been rendered in a great measure necessary, in consequence of the great changes which have been effected in commercial and mercantile matters, either with or without the interposition and sanction. of the Legislature, and also owing to the amazing extension of privileges and advantages now afforded to the shipping and mercantile interests, for the furtherance of their designs and the requirements of the vast trade of the country, beyond what was in former years thought of or imagined. On the fly-leaf of these new copies of instructions or monitors, they are directed to bear con stantly in mind the solemn declaration which they were re quired to make on their admission to the office which they hold under the Crown. THE CAB NUISANCE AGAIN.—Last evening as two gentlemen were driving along Stamford-hill towards town, they were annoyed by a cabman, No. 1,577, by his driving first on one side of the road and then on the other, evidently to knock up against the gentlemen's light vehicle and cause an up-set. Upon being spoken to the cabman used the most low and disgusting language. On arriving at Kings land-gate the gentlemen alighted to take the'number of the cab (the turnpike-man at Kingsrand-gate, without his name over the door, having refused), when the cabman struck the gentlemen, but fortunately for the gentlemen, the cabman got the worst of the encounter. THE LATE OUTRAGE IN WESTNINSTER.—Upon in quiry at the Westminster Hospital yesterday, relative to the ease of Elizabeth Pullen, the report is far more favourable than the day before. In the course of the afternoon, the at tendants were enabled to pass down the poor creature's throat some beef tea, and this nourishment has since been adminis tered with success. The injured woman also passed a better night than she bad since her admission into the hospital. The alteration, in fact, was so much in favour that it was not deemed necessary to require the attendance of a magistrate to take her depositions. The taking down of the spire of the Cathedral of St. Denis has just been 'completed a a t P is reseh x it nest of 50f. for the danger he has incurred.

Buxt on , Bart., in the chair. The Secretary read a report of the Society's operations during the past year. It stated that a great and encouraging event had recently transpired in China, viz., the promulga tion of a royal decree authorising the freedom of religious worship. It was impossible to foresee the happy results which would follow thid circuirastance.. The shops, streets, junks, and temples, were now accessible to the Christian mis sionaries. The committee had caused to be distributed at Hong Kong, 22,000 tracts, and had made grants to the amount of 893/. In India there were twenty auxiliary societies engaged in distributing religious works. During. the year nearly 1,200,000 traei.s had been printed by these societies, to which the London. Society had made grants to. the amount of 1,587/. In the Society Isles, 215,000 tracts had been distributed ; in South Afriea, 451,000 ; in the West Indies, 105,380 ; in Quebec, 10,000 ; in addition to many thousands in Montreal, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, making a total in British North America of 183,000, in addi tion to libraries formed in some of the large towns. The cir culation of reli gi ous tracts was producing important results in France. A Protestant tract society has been formed at Paris, the receipts of which during the year amounted to 229,000 francs, and which had issued 650,000 tracts. Wale. " communes" were now forsaking the Roman Catholic Church and embracing Protestantism. In Switzerland 8,000 tracts had been sent for the use of the Italian papulation, and a grant made t o th e G eneva Evangelical Society. The 'Bel gian Evangelical Society had distributed during the year 42,000 tracts, and had received from the London Society a grant of 2001. Amongst the other Continental cities where the greatest number had been circulated were Amsterdam, 60,000 ; Stockholm, 50,000; St. Petersburgh, 167,000. The Society's tracts had also been issued in Persia and' other parts of the East. The number distributed in the British Isles was altogether 2,260,000, at a cost of 2,7611, ; and the total grants to foreign and colonial societies amounted to 450, at a cost of 2,003/. The issues during the year amounted to 17,571,413, making, with those distributed by the societies abroad, a total of 4 2,000,000, in ninety-eight languages and dialects. The receipts of the Society amounted to 56,1101. The report having been adopted, and several resolutions passed, the meeting broke up, LONDON SOCIETY FOIL • PROMOTING CHRISTIANITY AMONGST THE JEws,...The arterial general meeting of the members of this Society, the:Object of which is explained in its title, was held yesterday morning at Exeter Hall. Lord Ashley was in the chair, and amongst the supporters of the Noble Lord were the Marquis of Cholmondeley, the Hon. W. Cowper, M.P., Sir George Rose, Bart., the Rev. Hugh M'Neile, the Rev. Hugh Stowell, and a large number of clergymen. There were also on the platform several children of Jewish parents converted to Christianity, and educated in the Society's schools. The report, road by the Rev, Mr. Averat, one of the secretaries, stated that the amount of con tributions 'towards the general and special fund, not includ ing the temporal relief fund, amounted during the year to 25,5811., being an increase of 2931. over those of the previous year. In addition to that sum, 6301, had been received on account of the temporal relief fund, end the munificent donation of 2,600/. from Miss Jane Cooke, of Cheltenham, the whole of the sum required for completing the Protestant church at Jerusalem. The increase of receipts had not, however, kept pace with the increasing wants of the Society, for the operations had been much extended during the past year by the employment of an additional number of mission aries. Out of the widows' fund there were six widows of missionaries and several children supported. A portion of the funds had been devoted to relieving converted Jews when suffering from distress, and providing them with em ployment. The society had distributed 3,653 Bibles, 1,613 Testaments, 2,274 portions of the Scripture, and several copies of English religiou s wor k s , translated into Dutch and Spanish for the use of Jews in Holland and Spain. The congrega tions at the Episcopal chapels continued to increase, and on Tuesday last thirty-eight Jews presented themselves before the bishop to receive baptism. Four young students had been sent from the Hebrew college as missionaries to the East. Converts continued to be made amongst the Jewish population in Warsaw, Frankfort on the Od er , B er li n , Konigsberg, Stockholm , and other large Euro pean cities, and in several parts of the East, including Jerusalem, Beyrout, Aleppo, and Bagdad. The Marquis of Cholmondeley moved, and the Rev. Mr. Freemantle se conded, the adoption of the report. The motion was carried unanimously; and also an expression of regret at the death of the late Bishop of Jerusalem, proposed by the lion. W. Cowper, M.P., and seconded by the Rev. Hugh Stowell, Several other resolutions having been passed, the meeting separated. APPREHENSION OF A FEMALE COINER,--Information having been received by the police that a gang of coinera were in the habit of assembling together at a house in New court, Duck-lane, Westminster, for the purpose of manu facturing base coin, Inspector Penny, Sergeant Brennan and a strong party of officers o f th e G division, proceeded thither on Wednesday evening, armed with sledge hammers, crow bars, &c., for the purpose of making an entrance and cap turing the delinquents. On their arrival at the house, the officers organised themselves, and made every preparation in the event of attack or resistance. They found the street door open, and, on proceeding to the second floor, they found the door of the apartment strongly barricaded with deal boards, iron bars, and bolts. They instantly com menced operations, and burst into the room, when they dis covered a young masc u li ne f ema l e before aburning furnace, in the act of coining. She was greatly agitated, when she seized on a plaister of Paris mould for the coining of half crown pieces, and broke it to pieces. She snatched a ladle from the fire, and spilt a quantity of liquid metal. She then put into her mouth a half-crown piece, and attempted t to e swallow it, but it stuck in her throat. e On t lear t cp e w r g wit h ii place a quantity of base coin was fou ba d t , erie ge liq o coin.

THE BATTERSEA -BRIDGE TRAGEDY.--On Thursday morning the missing body of one of the children drowned by their mother at Battersea- bridge, was found imbedded in sand at the bottom of a sluice in Battersea-fields. • VAUXHALL -BRIDGE COMPANY.-011 Friday the an nual general meeting of the proprietors of the above com pany took place at the George and Vulture Tavern, Corn hill, for the purpose of receiving the report of the past half year, the election of officers, &c. W. Barron, Esq., pre sided ; and after the minutes of the previous meeting had been read and confirmed, the general and financial reports were read, which set forth, that the seal bad been affixed to the license on a lease of seven, fourteen, or twenty-one years, th the Western Gas Light Company, to carry their pipes. across the bridge, on advantageous terms to the proprietors. That instructions had been given to watch, and, if neces sary, to oppose the Bill now before Parliament, for making a roadway from Vauxhall to Battersea-bridge, erecting a sus pension-bridge from Chelsea to Battersea, &c. The pro posed erection of a bridge at Lambeth had been withdrawn for the present. The directors recommend the reduction of the tolls, for carriages drawn by four horses, from la. 6d. to Is., and for those drawn by two horses, from 9d. to Gd. The increase of the receipts for tolls over the past half-year was 7791. 15s. 7d, and the general favourable state of the Com pany's affairs justified the recommendation of a dividen d ot 14s. per share; being 2s. per share more than dues, &c., on any pre vious occasion. The gross receipts for tolls, pier with previous balance, amounted to 9,4311 . 1 0 s. 4d. The which related to the report was adopted, except that portionen of Mr. Prender gast,reduction of the tolls. Onthe this question was adjourned till next meeting. Three directors amendment am the further consideration of having been re-elected, the meeting, after thanks to t he chairman, broke up. A PANIC.— Yesterday afternoon, whilst the gallery of the Committee -r ooms of the new Houses of Parliam en t was by persons waiting to obtain entrance into th e K ent crowded•a ay s C o mmittee-room, to hear the decision, the work men on the tower above let a large block of stone fall, which, made such a crash that it sounded as if the temporary floor. i n s w ere giving way, and th e w h o l e mass were coming through. There was an instant clearance of the spot by th e counsel counsel and agents and " the publit" there congregated, wile rushed away in all directions in the greatest alarm. When the danger was passed, there was a general laugh at the "panic" and its cause. • SUDDEN DEATH OF A.
