On Sunday, the 6th inst., at half-past six rad., the inhabitants of Falmouth were de lighted by the re-appearance of the royal squadron, on its return from Penzance. Yesterday morning his Royal Highness - Prince Albert visited Truro, Carclew, the seat of Sir Charles Lemon, Bart., M.P., and some of the copper and tin mines near Redruth, and on the north coast of the county. He re turned at half-past two P.M , and was escorted through Falmouth by the mayor and corporation, under laurel arches, to the place of embarkation. A carpet was ,aid down the whole length of the pier, for the accommoda tion of his R o y a l Hi g h ness, who left the shore in the royal barge amidst the acclamations of thousands who had gathered from far and near. After luncheon, her Majesty, accompanied by Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal and their attendants. proceeded in the Fairy up the beautiful river Fal, by Tregothnan, the seat of the Earl of Falmouth, and nearly as far as Truro; but time did not admit of their landing at either of those places. They then passed down the river, and through Carrick Roads to Swanpool, in Falmouth Bay, where they waited about half an tour, to watch the drawing of a ground seen. The - royal. party then re-entered the harbour, and reached the Victoria and Albert before dark.

Tithe Rent Charge of a' ove .3,000/. per annum (Freehold), offering an equally secure Investment for Capital as Land, with a higher rate of Interest, and no drawback for repairs. MESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON will offer for SALE by AUCTION, at the Mart, on Tin:impair, September 24, in one Lot, the very valuable FREEHOLD TITHE RENT CHARGES, arising from about 18,000 acres of first-rate Land, in the parish of Whittlesea, close to Peterborouch, comp.ising Estates belonging to his Grace the Duke of Bedford, Childers, Esq., and other large proprietors, producing about 3,0001. per annum, clear of parochial rates. Part,culars may be l'ad at the chief inns at Whittlesea and Peter borough ; of Mr. Waddelow, of Whittlesea ; of Messrs. Jones, Bate man, and Bennett, Lincoln's Inn ; and of Daniel Smith and Son, Land Agents, in Waterloo-place, Lon,lon.- CONTRACT FOR SUPPLIES FOR CONVICTS ON BOARD HULKS Ls' UCH persons as' are desirous of' TENDERING 7 for the SUPPLY of BREAD, MEAT,' BEER, OATMEAL, CHEESE, and SALT, for the use of Convicts on board the Hulks at Portsmouth and Woolwich, may obtain forms of tender by applica tion on board either of the Hulks, or to the Superintendent of Con :Yids, at No. 15, Lambeth-terrace, Surrey. Tenders (on printed forms only) duly signed by the parties, and the persons offering to become their securities, to be delivered sealed up, and addressed to the Superintendent, marked " Tender to supply stores for Convicts," on or before Twelve o'clock on THURSDAY, the 17th day of September, 1846. • RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE for, and unjust, inasmuch as the chairman of the South- Eastern directors declared, at the opening of the line t Canterbury, that although the passengers were taken a circuitous rout; the charge would only be made on a diagonal scale; and that such increase is quite at vari ance with the facts and principles laid down in the official statement of the company, published on the 27th Of December last. That tte meeting trust the directors of the South-Eastern Company will, on further conside ration, see the propriety of reducing the charge to the scale promised by their chairman on opening the line; and that, in the opinion of the meeting, a direct line from the metrop dis through Canterbury, communicating Can terbury with Dover and Deal, for the accommodation of the public, is absolutely necessary. ELECTRIC TELECRAPIL—We cannot consider it very creditable to the enterprise of Liv( rpo.)land Manchester, that those towns do not possess the advantage of a tele graphic communication, either with each other or with London. In the United States, places of much less com mercial and manufacturing importance than either of them have, had this advantage for a considerable time, and there is no doubt that there will before long be an uninterrupted line of telegraphic communication from New Orleans to Buffalo—from the mouth of the Missis sippi to the shores of the St. Lawrence. In this country the electric telegraph has existed for some time on the Great Western and South-Western Railways, and more recently it has been introduced on the Midland line. How is it that the directors of the London and North- Western line—the originators of railway enterprise in England—are behind the rival lines in this respect? or that two great communities like Manchester and Liverpool have not pointed out and urged the advantages of tele graphic communication in such a manner as to insure its adoption? We trust that the subject will be taken up without further delay, and that before long London, Liverpool, and Manchester, three of the most important cities in the world, will possess at least the facilities of communicating with each other which is possessed by places immeasurably inferior to them in importance.— Liverpool Times. FURNESS LINE.—It is now pretty generally known that the above railway is open to the public, and that a steamer plies, twice a-day, betwixt Fleetwood and Piel Harbour. During the last week fifteen hundred pas sengers arrived at Piel Harbour by the steamer from Fleetwood, the greater part of whom travelled upon the railway. Previous to the opening of this communica tion, this part of the country—Rampside, &c.—was little known; and we may safely state that a greater number will have trod this isolated ground in one fort night than has done since our earth was visited with the deluge. On Sunday last five hundred persons visited Furness Abbey ruins, more than two hundred of whom lunched or dined at th e Abb ey w i t h Mr. Parker, of the Sun inn, Ulverston, who has taken the refreshmeni rooms at the railway station at Furness Abbey.—Kenda, Mercury. the n fr an 00 IP 8 8 1 ; 11 , cl o ,; 0 1 all(1 NAVAL IN TELL IGENCE.

Manor for Game, the Advowson, and several first-rate Grazing and Dairy Farms, extending nearly to the town of Win slow, and only five miles from the county and borough town of Buckingham, distinguished as the family seat and domain of the late Hine General Vere Poulett, forming a singularly eligible and solid investment for capital, in a proverbially rich and fine sporting country. MESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON ar e commissioned to announce that the above remarkably valuable and truly important FREEHOLD. ESTATE will be SOLD by AUCTION, at the Mart, near the Bank of England, on Timm- DAY, 24th of September (unless an acceptable offer shall be previ ously made by private treaty). It comprises the spacious and substantial MANSION OF AD DINGTON, with walled garden, capital stabling, &c., placed on a gentle elevation, nearly in the centre of one of the MOST FERTILE DOMAINS in the county, embracing the entire parish, nearly encircled by a fine brook, and chieffy rich grazing and dairy land, the whole tithe free, and let to old respectable tenants at rents amounting to about 2,6001. per an num. The perpetual. Advowson, with its parsonage and glebe, and the Manor, which is well stocked with game, appertain to the es tate. The timber is nearly all elm, a certain proof of the fertility of the soil. The high tarnpike road from Aylesbury to Bu c kin g ham passes through the pro.,erty, close to the town of 'Winslow, and it is within a very easy distance of the several markets of Buckingham, Bicester, Stony Stratford, &c. This description of grass land is unlikely to be affected by any chan-'e as to Corn-laws or Tariffs, and the property therefore presents, with its peculiar and great local ad vantages, an indisputably fine and choice property for the Invest ment of money, with a most enjoyable domain for residence, being in a perfectly rural district, and in the centre of several packs of hounds. A station on the Buckinghamshire Railway will be very near This closed one of the most interesting days in the re collection of the inhabitants of Falmouth. It was fortu nate that the weather was serene, both for the multitude of deeply laden boats that dotted the harbour, and clus tered like a swarm of bees around the royal yacht, and for her Majesty's appreciation of the peculiar beauties of this neighbourhood. It is exceedingly gratifying to state, that both her Majesty and her Royal Consort appeared to be in excel lent health, and much interested in their excursion. The royal squadron quitted the harbour this morning under a royal salute, and, if the weather proves favour able, it is understood her Majesty intends visiting Fowey and Torquay, and will reach Osborne House to-morrow evening. 1.000 TONS of HANDPICKED BRYNDORWAY LLANGEN NECK, or GRAIC f.

Loudon: Wiley and Putnam, 6, Waterloo-place. - The Scourge steam bomb-vessel, Commander Caffin, hauled alongside the dockyard to-day to embark de tachments of the 74th Highlanders for Aberdeen. The Orestes, 18, Commandor Cannon, was paid off into ordinary this morning. The Aid navy lighter, Smallman master, arrived last night from Chatham with stores . The America, 50, is rapidly refitting at Devonport, and will be again ready for sea in a few days. The Carysfort, 26, Captain Seymour, sailed from Simon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, on the 16th of June, for Sydney, New South Wales. The Thunderbolt steam-sloop, Commander Boyle, ar rived at Simon's Bay from Table Bay on the 17th of June. The United States frigate Constitution, about whose armament and weight of metal such feverish anxiety was manifested by one or two members of the late court•martial upon Captain the Hon. J. Gordon, of the America, left Mazatlan prior to the 28th of June for one of her home ports, her timbers being so rotten as to preclude her from making any further display with safety. Tile Lords of the Admiralty are contemplating an alteration in the naval uniform, having during their re. cent official visits to this and other ports experienced ex treme difficulty in discovering the real rank of officers from their uniforms, the juniors especially, owing to the extraordinary profusion with which the late board epau bitted the service. The Inflexible steam sloop, Commander Iloseason, arrived at Madeira on the 16th ult., from Plymouth, en route to the Cape of Good Hope. She put in merely to land letters. A letter from her says—" We have had a beautiful trip, the weati,er having been fine and the passengers cheerful and in good order. We have steamed all the way, in consequence of light winds, and I think we stand a very fair chance of reaching the Cape with some coals to spare in our blinkers. I like my ship very much: our accommod ition is superb." After landing her letters the Inflexible proceeded on her course for the Cape direct. DELIGHTFUL CONSEQUENCES OF THE GAME-LAWS. —On Sunday morning last, between four and five o'clock, as the under keeper, named Cook, in the employ of Mr. A. Fontaine, of Narford, was crossing a turnip field near the Secots, he saw a dog taking a hare, and presently a man started up with a view to seize it, but seeing the keeper he made off. The latter pursued the dog, which travelled rather slowly from the weight of the hare, and at length he secured him. This brought the poacher up, who demanded to have his animal re leased, but this the keeper refused. The result was a scuffle, and at length they drew their knives, and with these weapons they fought dreadfully for half an hour. At length the weapon of Cook entered the side of Mason (that being the poacher's name), and he fell. The keeper then wrenched from him the knife, and threw them both away, keeping his man, however, pinned to the ground, and calling lustily for assistance. Mr. Spanton, sen., happened to be up, and hastened to the spot from which the cries came. They all proceeded towards the house of the latter, but they had not gone far, when Mason complained that he could walk no further. as his bowels were pro truding. They undid his clothes, and this was found to be actually the case. Mr. Spanton th en p rocured a horse and cart, and sent them both on to S wa bh am under a proper escort, both men being so dreadf u ll y wounded that it was not thought they could survi ve many hours.

A SHIP AGROUND OVER THE THAMES TUNNE L; On Sunday morning last the tide ran out so low in the Thames, that the Venezuela steam-ship, bound to Havre, soon after leaving the St. Katherine Dock Steam packet Wharf, being deeply laden with passengers and goods, grounded right over the tunnel, where she remained for two hours, when the tide flowed and she got under weigh again. Some alarm was felt for the safety of the tunnel, but not a brick was started, althouab the Venezuela, which is a very large ship, laid right over the tunnel, and no damage whatever was done to the works. At Southwark Police-court, on Tuesday, Robert Smith, the driver of a horse and cart, was.fined 40s. and costs for having driven over a buy thirteen years of age in the Blackfriars-road, ou the previous afternoon. rASGOW, PAISLEY, KILMARNOCK, AND AYR—CUMNOCK EXTENSION. KlearanNoex, MONDAY.—The most exciting event that has taken place in this district of Scotland, in con nexion with railway speculation, came off to-day, at Ballochmyle, about 12 miles distant from this town, in the laying of the foandation-stone of the large viaduct now in the progress of construction over the river Ayr, which is crossed at this point by the Cumnock Extension of the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr Railway. Before proceeding to describe the ceremony observed on the occasion, it may be interesting to state the dimen sions and character of the work in T:estion, unexampled, as we believe it to be, in the history of railway construc tion. At Ballochmyle—the scene of same of the fin sit inspirations of Burns, who for same time occupied a farm in the neighbourhood—the river Ayr, here a stream of considerable magnitude, runs through a deep wooded ravine, from which the adjoining banks recede with a considerable slope to the level of the banks on each side of the valley traversed by the line of railway. From bank to bank the distance is three-quarters of a mile, which is partly occupied by a huge embankment, and partly by the viaduct in question. The viaduct is 614 feet in length, and is composed of seven arches. The centre arch, the largest of the kind we believe in the world, is 184 feet in width, and 197 feet from the bed of the river to the parapet wall. The three arches on each side of it are fifty feet in span. The viaduct, as a whole, when completed, will be the greatest work of the kind in the British empire. It is to be built of red sand stone, obtained from the old red sandstone geological formation in the neighbourhood, and the facing of the arches is composed of Dundee white freestone. Alto gether the undertaking will be a proud monument of the scientific skill of the engineer of the line, Mr. Miller. The cost of the structure will be 100,0001., and to fur nish an idea of the preliminary expense, we may state that 60,000 feet of Baltic timber is employed in the machinery and arrangements necessary fur the con struction of the arches. It having been announced for some time past that the foundation-stone would be laid with masonic honours, and that the occasion would be observed as a holiday, a very great turnout of people from all the surrounding towns and villages took place. The principal masonic lodges in the west of Scotland, headed by the mother lodge of Kilwinning, were in at tendance. Special trains from Glasgow and Ayr brought the directors of the company, accompanied by a large concourse of friends, to Kilmarnock, where coaches and omnibuses were in waiting to convey the parties to the scene of action., The leading gentlemen, also, belonging 6o the Glasgow and Edinburgh Company, were present. On arriving at Mauchline, a short distance from Balloch inyle, the p rocess i on was formed, which extended about a mile, and at one o'clock the whole body proceeded in regular order to the ground, headed by the grand lodge and the leading gentlemen interested in the undertaking, accompanied by several bands of music. On arriving on the ground the ceremony usually observed on such occa sions was gone through, terminating with a royal salute. Captain FULLARTON, the grand master of the lodge, then addressed the assembly in a neat and appropriate speech. He said it was a bright and auspicious day for the west of Scotland, as he considered the line of which this magnificent structure was a part, would be, in con junction with the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Rail way, the means of connecting England and Scotland, as well as the two important contiguous counties, in the most advantageous manner. The line, he was persuaded, would be the means of accommodating 100 miles of country, rich in mineral wealth, with a productive soil and a highly intelligent and industrious population, and would, therefore, he was certain, prove most beneficial to all parties. The honourable gentleman concluded by calling attention to the character of Mr. Miller, on whom he passed a high eulogium for the great engineering skill he had shown, and also highly complimented Mr. Mitchell, the contractor, and all the leading parties connected with the undertaking. Mr. M`CALL, the chairman of the company, briefly returned thanks on behalf of the-company; expressing himself highly pleased with the whole day's proceed ings, and said the large attendance was a proof of the deep interest which the public took in the construction of the line. Immediately afterwards the lodges returned to Mauch line, in the same order of procession in which they came, and the large assembly, amounting to at least 5,000 per sons. separated. The various bodies were regaled in the evening in their several lodge rooms, and the directors, with their friends, dined together at the George Hotel in this town. About 200 sat down to a dinner composed of every de licacy of the season. On the cloth beir ' s removed, the usual loyal toasts wer e g i ven , followed by others appro priate to the day's proceedings. Among these the prin cipal were,—" SucceSs to the great undertaking of the day," " The Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle R dlway," "The Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, anti Ayr Railway," " The engineers," " The contractors," &c., which were respectively responded to by Mr. Leadbetter, Mr. M•Call, Mr. Alexander, and Mr. Miller. Several excellent speeches were delivered on the occasion, and the festi vities were kept up till a late hour. ARMAGH, COLERAINE, AND PORTRUSH. On Tuesday a meeting of the scripholders took place at the offices of Messrs. Phillips and Son, solicitors, Laurence Pountney-lane, for the purpose of adopting such mea sures as would compel the directors of the company to return the full amount of deposits paid. Mr. John Carter was called to the chair. A number of gentlemen, representing about 8,000 shares, were present. The CUAIRMAN said that in consequence of the extra ordinary maner in which the parties connected with the Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush had acted, it was es sential for the shareholders to take such steps as would enable them to recover back the full amount of deposits which they had paid on their respective shares. The directors had acted so badly, that they had attempted to obtain the amount of shares which was opposed to them, and to lessen this number, Mr. Galt, the secretary, had by their directions, offered to the immediate friends of Mr. Phillips 20s. per share. This offer, although in tended to apply to a favoured few, was made verbally, and since then had been repudiated by Mr. Galt. This proved that no dependence could be placed in any over tures from the directors, and under these circumstances he felt he could listen to no other terms than that which promised the full amount returnable on the face of the scrip. lie begged to call the attention of the meeting to the fact that the directors had not registered the deed. That, supposing that deed had been registered, it em braced no clause authorising any amalgamation what ever with another company ; but they had never at tempted to go to Parliament to obtain a Bill, and yet they now wanted to force the whole of the shareholders to agree to amalgamate their line with that of the Dub lin, Belfast, and Coleraine Railway, the shares of which, even at this very time, were only worth ls. 3d. per share, while those of the Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush were producing from 12s. 6d. to 15s per share. Looking at the present wilt& of the shares, he was fully prepared to insist upon the whole of the amount of deposits which he had paid to be returned, as the directors had in every way broken faith with all those who had embarked their money in the project, under the impression that every exertion was to be made to obtain an Act of Parliament for the carrying out the proposed line. Mr. COHEN, who represented a large amount of shares, said he had been offered 20s. per share for every one 1 which he held, which sum he refused, unless the same offer were made to all the dissentients. From what had taken place with respect to the proceedings of the com pany, he considered it was essential for public faith and security that some example should be made ; the expo sure could only , be effected in one way, and that was by law. In his opinion they were bo un d t o avail themselves of the protection which the law afforded. It certainly was not pleasant to be involved in law proceedings, but they had no alternative, as nothing short of an exposure of the directors would produce the desired effect. Mr. PHILL/PS then read several letters, oue referring to the payment of 20s. per share to certain parties ; a second, that none but the original allottees were entitled to vote (although for the amalgamation newly purchased scrip was called into aid) ; a third, that the parties who intended to vote must sign a bond to pay up all demands that might be made ; while a fourth was dated from Scotland, signed by an eminent stockbroker, exposing a most gross system of fraud in the mode in which the scrip was sent into the share market at Edinburgh. Several other gentlemen then addressed the meeting in support of using every l ega l means to recover their money without a dissentient voice, and the proceedings terminated at five o'clock. IRISH LINES. CLONNEL AND THURLES.—This line has been sold, and the sale confirmed by the shareholders, to the Great Southern and Western. IRISH SOUTH-EASTERN.—An amalgamation has been effected between the Wexfcrd, Carlow, and Dublin Junction, and the Great Leinster and Munster Com panies, under the powers contained in their respective acts. The Amalgamation company will henceforth be known as "The Irish South-Eastern Company." Five shares in the amalgamated company will be given in ex change for one share in the Old Great Leinster and Muster. A call of it. 10s. per share has been made on the new shares. Holders of Wexford and Carlow Scrip are to pay a call of 1/. per share, and thus the amount paid up on all the shares being equalised, the Irish South-Eastern shares will be credited with 3/. paid up. The lines embraced by the Irish South-Eastern Com pany are from Carlow to Enniscorthy, and from Carlow to Kilkenny, with a power of extension to Clonmel. The works on the line from Carlow to Kilkenny are rapidly advancing. DUBLIN AND BELFAST JUNCTION.—The works On the third division of the main trunk line of this com pany, from Dundalk to Foughill Etra, commenced on Thursday last, under the direction of Messrs. P. Moore and Brothers, the contractors. This makes three divi• sions of the line now at work, and as we believe that the branch to Navan will also be commenced in a short time, we look forward with gratification to the means of employment there will thus be provided for a large num ber of our poor countrymen during the approaching winter.--Irish Railway Gazette. FARES ON THE SOUTH-EASTERN. —At a meeting of the inhabitants of Canterbury on Monday, Mr. H. Cooper, the mayor, in the chair, resolutions were passed to the effect that the increased charge for passengers from Canterbury to the metropolis is Impolitic, uncalled memoralise Government to appoint a royal commission to inquire into the best mode for crossing the Clyde by a railway bridge, and which was under discussion when the council adjourned last week, Mr. Bryson wished to know if it was true that a royal commission bad been already issued for the purpose of disposing of thi, question of crossing the Clyde. If any gentleman could inform that this' commission had been really issued, it would be useless to take up the time of the council in discussing a subject which had already been disposed of. The Lord Dean of Guild, Leadbetter, was about to communicate the information on this subject, which he had received since last meeting of council. The memorial on V.is subject, agreed to at the recent public meeting, had been presented to Lord John Rus sell, and the interview which the deputation had with his Lordship was of such a nature as to give a perfect conviction that this subject would be taken up and set tled ; but as there was now a new railway board, to which had been transferred all the powers of the Board of Trade, the memorials which were sent up from Glas gow on the subject of a railway crossing the Clyde had been remitted to that new board, to be attended to by them. He had the satisfaction to have received an ac knowledgment from Lord John Russell's secretary to the same effect, in reply to the memorial of the Mer chants' House on this subject. In these circumstances, he thought it unnecessary to persist in the motion which he had submitted to the council last week, as the public discussion had served all the purpose. Mr. Leadbetter read the reply to the Merchants' House, which staled that the memorial would be referred to the newly-ap pointed Railway Board for their immediate considera tion. He continued, " I know from information I have obtained that the opinion of Lord John Russell is, that the queition is of such importance that it should be settled by an independent tribunal. My opinion is, that when the subject is referred to that board, they will put themselves in communication with the authorities here." Mr. Bryson—" I wish it then to be distinctly understood from the Lord Dean of Guild that no royal commission has been appointed." Baillie Whitehead then gave notice for next meeting of council, that they should memorialise the Government to the effect that, whatever commission is appointed, they shall not consider the question open as to crossing the river below Stockwell-bridge. CHEERING NEWS FOR THE NARROW GAUGE.--" We learn," says the Builder, " from what may be consi dered competent authority, that a new narrow gauge engine, far superior to the present narrow gauge loco motive in speed and power, has just been completed. It is stated to be equal to an average speed of 60 miles per hour with a train of twelve carriages, of about sixty six tons. CONTINENTAL LINES. MARSEILLES AND AVIGNON.-It appears by the re port of the directors, presented at the late meeting, that the works of this undertaking are going on satisfacto rily. Notwithstanding the many heavy works of art re quisite on this line, there appears every reason for fixing the opening of at least five-sixths of it by the close of the present year—a period of eighteen months earlier than was stipulated by the original statutes of the company. VIERZON.—The works on this line advance rapidly. The Minister of the Interior is occupied in organising the staff of surveillance, and everything denotes an early completion of the undertaking. ROUEN AND RHEIMS —A commission of inquiry has lately been opened upon the subject of establishing a railway as above, passing by Beauvais, Compiegne, and Soissons. BAVARIAN LINES.—The section of the Northern and Southern line, extending towards Kant huren, will most probably be opened in the spring of the ensuing year. The section as far as Lindau will not be completed for four or five years, in consequence of the immense diffi culties presented by the earth on this side. The por tion from Donauwerth as far as Nuremburg will be com menced next year. VIENNA.—The Austrian Government has determined that a line shall be promptly commenced between that capital and Salzburg. The Bavarian Government has also decided that a railway communication shall be effected between Munich and Salzburgh. This determi nation on the part of the Governments has produced con siderable enthusiasm amongst the people. Engineers from the Austrian capital have lately visited England, in order to report upon the efficacy of the atmospheric prin ciple ; their decision having been in its favour, the Em peror has decided on its usage being applied to a line which is to be constructed between the village of Sim mering and Broek. IlAninuann.—On the line between this city and Ber lin, the number of workmen has been increased from 6,000 to 10,000. The works are continued without ceasing day and night, as the undertaking ought to be completed by December next. The workmen are stimu lated by higher wages than they have been accustomed to in their own country. CHURCH PREFERMENTS. His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury has insti tuted the Rev. T. 0. Blackall, M.A., to the Vicarage of Kempsing, near Sevenoaks, Kent, cn 'the presentation of the Earl Amherst. The Lord Bishop of Carlisle has instituted the Rev.

Matthew Pugh, M.A., of St. Catherine's Hall, Cambridge, has been appointed to the Head Master ship of the Free Grammar School, Congleton. Cheshire. SOUTHWARK PROTESTANT OPERATIVE ASSOCIA TION.—On Tuesday, the annual meeting lof this Asso ciation was held at the National School-room, Borough road. The meeting was numerously attended, a deputa tion from the Protestant National Club being in attend ance for the purpose of forming a union between the two societies. The chair was taken by C. Shaw, Esq. After the delivery of several addresses, enforcing the necessity of supporting the Protestant cause in t; as country, a resolution was passed for the amalgamation of the two associations, and the meeting broke up. NELSON'S COLUMN --On Tuesday the workmen re sumed the completion of this column. The works have been suspended during the last month in consequence of the difficulty experienced in procuring blocks of stone of the required size and quality. DEATH OF LORD METCALFE. We regret to' announce the decease of the above nobleman. His Lordship, whose sufferings during the past few months, from the effects of cancer in the face, have been very great, expired on Saturday last, at Mal shanger House, near Basingstoke, whither he removed from town about three months since. It is with unfeigned regret we refer to the above an nouncement. That illustrious public servant has closed a long career of honour and usefulness, and, in this age of shifty statesmanship, a e have all too much reason to deplore his loss. Singularly courageous and resolute in the assertion of principles in whose value he confided, acute, self-com posed, and undaunted by difficulties, he contrasted strik ingly with the public men to whom for so long our des tinies have been confided. It is, indeed, noticeable that a Cabinet that sustained him in his bold and honest course in dealing with the seditious Radicals of Canada should also have approved the debile and faultering policy of Sir Charles Begot. It was the fortune of Lord Metcalfe to have been trained in the school of Lord Wellesley. It was therein he learnt of how much worth nerve is to a statesman. It was therein he was taught that the first duties of a public servant are to the public, and that the obligation might often devolve upon him of postponing all personal considerations to considerations of a public character. Those srlao knew Lord Metcalfe the best are conscious that not the least of his merits was a deep and abiding sense of duty, and a preference of its claims to all other reclamations. His career in India was brilliant. He entered upon public life, having scarce passed the years of boyhood, as assistant to the Resident at the Court of the bold Mahratta, Scindiah, the then Resident being Mr. Henry Wellesley, now Lord Cowley. He accompanied Lord Lake during the war against Holka, and is understood, on one occasion, to have headed an assaulting party with a walking stick! Subsequently he was variously employed, and always acquitted himself with credit, until his appointment to the Residency of Delhi, where the last remnant of Mahomedan sovereignty still dwelt—nominis umbra. His conduct during the time he filled this important and responsible post obtained for him the respect and attachment of the natives and the confidence of his own Government. His unvarying good temper, his perfect self-possession, and his affable and courteous manners, enabled -him with singular success to thwart the intrigues of the Durbar without involving the necessity of collisions that might have been fruitful of confusion, if not of bloodshed. His qualities so tested, he was promoted to the Secre taryship of the Supreme Government, from whence he was cent to Hyderabad, where the Nizam's affairs were involved to an alarming extent. It is not to be con cealed that, in the adjustment of these affairs, Mr. Met calfe was resisted by those from whom he ought to have received succour and support. Still the firmness which the petulance of Jamaica patriots, and the bullying of Canada demagogues could not subdue, was proof against the solicitations of the Esplanade o f Calcutta. Indeed, we should be glad, on many accounts, if, in the Deccan, the interests of England were now as vigorously asserted as they were by Mr. Metcalfe from 1819 to 1825. As Lieutenant-Governor of Agra, as Acting- Gover nor-General of India, Sir Charles Metcalfe 'Lee him self eminent by the wisdom of his counsels and the'liber ality of his measures. The Metcalfe Hall, now a chief pride of the " Ditchers," is a standing testimonial both to his merits and their appreciation of the same. It was an evil day when he relinquished the trust of this mighty province—an evil day when his independent and heroic spirit surrendered the happiness of the vast and mixed population of Ilindostan to the feeble and trembling hands of Lord Auckland. Perhaps one of the worst features of the polity which Whig sagacity bestowed upon our Indian empire was the regulation which forbade Lord Metcalfe permanently resuming the rule of a country with whose requirements be had shown himself so perfectly acquainted. In his administrati on of Jaamica, Lord M e t ca l fe sus tained the high chara c t er he had p rev i ously acquired. A disturbed population —a divided Assembly —a passionate Governor, had rendered Jamaica a source of anxiety and perplexity to the authorities, whose dwell ing is at the bottom of Downing -street. Your West Indian climate is not the most favourable in the world to equanimity of temper, and Jamaica formed no ex ception to the rule. Lord Metcalfe, however, dis covered himself equal to the exigency. He triumphed over every difficulty that opposed him, and the sub sequent prosperity of Jamaica attested the wisdom of his policy. _ ' Summoned to undertake the government of Canada, at that time beset with perils of no ordinary magnitude, Lord Metcalfe did not shrink from exposing his failing health to fresh trials. A constitution that bad become enfeebled on the banks of the Ganges had to endure the climate'that marks the shores of the St. Lawrence. Probably, the time has not yet come when we can estimate justly the full value of Lord Metcalfe's Cana dian policy. It is enough to say it was like himself, firm, intelligible, and national. If the principles of re sponsible government, which crochetty Lord Durham had made--as became him—so ally a fuss about, had been worked out in their integrity, under no one could they have been safer worked out than under Lord Met calfe. The " ribbons" would have been safe in his hands. Unquestknably his success throughout life was mainly due to his conciliatory qualities. Even those who op posed, respected and liked him. Against him the shafts of malice were not barbed. He had hardly one personal enemy. Possessed of great wealth, he used it nobly. Poverty found him a ready sympathiser. His purse was never closed against the claims of indigence. Sprung from the people, he has left behind him a name men will not willingly let die; and through many a country and in many an uncouth tongue will long be heard the merited and honestly purchased praises of Charles Lord Metcalfe I His Lordship was the second son of Thomas Theophi lus Metcalfe, Esq., of Fern Ilill, a Director of the East India Company, who was created a baronet in 1802. Sir Thomas married in 1782, Susannah Sophia Selina, daughter of John Debonnaire, Esq., and widow of Major Smith. He died in 1813, leaving issue four sons and two daughters, the second son being the subject of the pre sent memoir. , The deceased Lord was called to the Peerage in 1845, (while Captain-General and Governor-in -Chief of all her Majesty's North American provinces) by the title of Baron Metcalfe, of Fern Hill, iu the county of Berks. —Post. NARROW ESCAPE PROM COLLISION ON TEE MID LAND RAILWAY.—The lives of pa•sengers on this line of railway are being placed in extreme jeopardy, from the possibility of a collision between two trains that pass on the same line every day, in opposite directions, and within so short a space of time of each other, that the slightest variation from delay arising from any cause is certain to produce a most frightful accident. The trains alluded to aro the sb. P. 31. train from Nottingham to Derby, and the express train, sh. sm. P.m. from Derby to London. The departure line from Derby till the sh. sm. train arrives at the turn to the junction at Red Hill, is the same line as the sh. p.m. train from Nottingham to Derby passes upon, after reaching the turn nearest Derby to the junction. On Tuesday last the trains left the stations as usual, and, on the Nottingham train getting to the turn, the express train had only passed off the line a few minutes before, nay, it was thought a minute had scarcely elapsed, as the two trains were so near each other ; had the_express train been two minutes later, or the Nottingham train the same time earlier, a col lision must unavoidably have occurred. The passengers in the Nottingham and Derby train, seeing the narrow escape they had just had, expressed themselves very strongly, and avowed they would not travel by the 6h. P.M. train again, till an alteration was made in the time either of that or of the express train, starting from the station, as they feel quite convinced a fearful disaster will inevitably take place. The directors ought imme diately to pay attention to this suljt•ct. On Wednesday the Rev. W. Harrison, one of the canons of Winchester Cathedral, expired at his house in the Close, without any apparent previous illness. The Rev. Gentleman, who was in his seventy-eighth year, went to bed in his usual health, and finding himself ill the next morning, got out of bed, and dropped dead a few moments after leaving it. Besides his canonry, he had, we believe, the livings of Fureham and Overton. The deaty_of the Rev. W. Harrison does not occasion a vacancy in the Church preferment appertaining to the cathedral, as, under the provisions of the Church Tem poralities Bill, the canonry held by him will be abolished. —Hants Independent.
