By an, ob servance of the instructions herein containe the feeble, the ner vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the full period of life allotted to man. " How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of natare, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the lilt a advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

On Gonorrhoea and Gieet, exemplifying the influence of a Scrofulous or Scorbutic state of system in producing those Morbid Secretions, and showing that the true nature of their diseased action is irritative, not inflammatory. Published by the Author, 90, Blackfriars-road, London ; and may be had of Johnston, 68, Cornhill; Starkie, 4, Strand; Sanger, 160, Oxford-street ; and by order of all booksellers. NOTICES Os' THE PRESS. From the Mark-lane Express.—" The work now before us will he appreciated by the professional man who is aware of the importance of distinguishing between irritative' and inflammatory' action in determining the course of treatment of disease. The author is of opinion that the symptoms of the former are frequently mistaken for the latter, sometimes even by experienced practitioners. Mr. Franks does not content himself with asserting the fact, but pro ceeds to show, by argument and demonstration, which appears to us conclusive, that the position he assumes is correct. Having carefully perused Mr. Franks's book, we can state with confidence, that it ought to be read by every man, inasmuch as the information it con tains may not only afford relief to the mind upon the appearance of symptoms which are not really indicative of the disease supposed, but may be the means of guarding the patient against the practices of the unskilful and the empiric." From Bell's Life in London.—" We recommend this little treatise to those who, suffering under deserved penalties, wish to pay them off as speedily and safely as possible, without having recourse to the ruinous banks founded by manslaughtering quacks." From the London Mercantile Journal.—A kr. Franks is evidently an original thinker, and follows not the path of his predecessors in treating the subject upon which he has written. There is a - vast amount of truth in his book. It is ignorance which often causes un happiness in the married state, and such a work as this may be the means of displacing many of those serious heart-burnings and jea lousies which sever the peace of families."

The above plan, originating with this Company, was found peculiarly advantageous at the last Equitable Division in 1840, when it was largely adopted, and many of the Policies then effected are still in force, and large Bonuses have been added to them on the scale of the following Table:— Sum Assured.

Eor various reasons, the committee considered it to the interest of the proprietors to withdraw the Bill for that portion of the line between Earrow and Aylesbury. They accordingly limited their application to Parliament for the two remaining lines— namely, between Banbury and Tring, and between Ox ford and Bletchley. These lines were cordially supported by the landowners and inhabitants of the districts which they traversed; and although the railway from Tring to Banbury was strongly opposed by the Great Western Railway, it was unanimously opposed by the Committee of the House of Commons. The line from Oxford to Bletchley was also sanctioned, and without opposition. In the House of Lords the opposition of the Great Western Railway Company was renewed, and was so far successful that the central portion only of the Tring and Banbury line (namely, from Brackley, passing through the town of Buckingham to the intersection with the Oxford and Bletchley line near Winslow) was sanctioned this session. The Oxford and Bletchley line was passed intact. It is the intention of your directors, with the sanction of the proprietors, to apply for powers to complete the line to the north between Brackley and Banbury (91 miles), and to adopt such measures with regard to the southward extension of - the line as shall appear to be advisable. The Acts for the two lines which have been passed have been so framed by the Legislature, as to render it neces sary to_pre i serve, a nominal distinction in the sharescreatEd under the powers of each Act ; the shares under Ike-one Act being entitled shares in the Buckinghamshire Rail way (Oxford and BletchleyJunction Railway Company), and under the other, shares in the Buckinghamshire Railway (Buckingham and 13rackley Junction Railway Company). It is intended that these shares thus created under the two Acts shall have precisely the same value, and powers will be applied for next year to consolidate the two Companies. The proprietors are aware that the London and North-Western Railway Company have guaranteed 4 per cent. in perpetuity on the cost of the Buckingham shire Rail waywh en opened for traffic, together with half of the profits of the traffic when exceeding four per cent. In addition to this they have authorised your directors to state that they will also grant four per cent. interest on all deposits from the Ist of July last, and on future calls from the times of payment. In consequence of the short period which has elapsed since the passing of the Acts, it has not been possible to get in all the accounts of expenses. The balance sheet annexed, therefore, merely presents an account of the receipts and payments up to the present time. The amount of money in hand is such as to preclude the necessity of the directors making any call on the proprietors during the present year for the purpose of constructing the lines now obtained. The lines for which powers have been obtained will be formed with all possible dispatch, the works are already nearly staked out, and the engineers are preparing the contract drawings. RECEIPTS.

After an irregular discussion, Mr. Powell, Mr. Rice Davis, and Mr. Spackman were appointed scrutineers, for the purpose of ascertaining whether a sufficient num ber of votes were present. it was then moved by Mr. WHITCOMB, and seconded by Mr. LAWSON, that the Company should be dissolved, but that the dissolution should not be considered an act of bankruptcy. The scrutineers then proceeded to ascertain whether a sufficient number of scrip votes were present to enable the meeting to adopt a resolution for the dissolution of the company. After some considerable lapse of time, The scrutineers reported that there were 4,636 votes present; that the whole of that number voted for the dissolution of the Company; that 110 voted for the dissolution being an act of bankruptcy, 4,321 against it, and 205 were neutral. The CHAIRMAN then said that, there not being a suffi cient number of votes present to constitute a meeting, it must be adjourned to some future day. Thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the meet ing adjourned to Thursday next, at one o'clock. THE WARWICK and WORCESTER RAILWAY. A meeting of this Company took place to-day, at the Hall of Commerce, in consequence of the following re quisition : We, the undersigned, being respectively Shareholders in the Warwick and Worcester Railway Company, in virtue of the powers given by an Act, passed in the present session, cap. 28, intituled " An Act to Facilitate the Dissolution of Certain Railway Companies,' having left, at the registered place of business of the said Company, a requisition, calling en the Members of the Provisional Committee of the said Company to call a Meeting of the Share holders of the said Company, and the said Committee having neglected or refused to comply with the said requisition, do, by the authority aforesaid, hereby call a meeting of the Shareholders of the said Company, to be held at the Hall of Commerce, Thread needle-street, in the City of London, on Friday, the 4th day of Sep tember next, at Three o'Clock precisely, for the purpose of deter mining whether the Partnership or Company formed, or intended to be formed, shall be dissolved, and in what manner the affairs of the said Company shall be wound up.

A special general meeting of the shareholders in this Company was held this day at the Company's offices, 17, Essex-street, Strand, for the purpose of receiving the report of the directors, and the engineer's report. The usual preliminaries having beEn gone through, the Secretary read the report, which stated that there had been a considerable increase in the number of sig natures to the deed, which now amounted to 10,215, more than half of the total required; that the Company had ob tained their Bill from the House of Assembly at Jamaica, which had received the royal assent, and therefore that the Company was at present legally constituted. In compliance with the resolution of the meeting of the 9th of March last, the directors had entered into a treaty with the Jamaica Company to construct seven miles of railway from Spanish Town to Cherry Town, and their negociations had been successful. With the addition of these seven miles, the line was now forty five miles in length, and the total estimated cost of the undertaking was 333,6951., to which there had been added, engineering contingencies 10 per cent. In the report made at the meeting of the 9th of March a table of the probable traffic on the line bad been submitted to the shareholders then present, and it appeared that the estimate was not so favourable as it subse quently turned out. It appeared that the line i might be worked at an expense of 20,0001. annually. In consequence of the depressed state cf the market, the directors thought it would be better not to proceed further at present with the works than to make that nominal commencement which was required by the Act of Assembly. The balance in hands was 16,116/. 19s. 11d. which was placed at interest. This sum would be reduced to about 15,0001. The directors were ready to give the shareholders who desired to retire from the undertaking 12s. 6d. per share, as they were satisfied of the responsibility of the parties who were ready to take up those shares. In conclusion, the report stated that great cordially existed between the proprietors of the Jamaica and .the directors of the present Company, and that several of the former were very anxious to get shares in the South Midland Company. The SECRETARY then read the report of the engineer of the Company, Mr. Miller, which was very favourable. The CHAIRMAN then proposed two resolutions, to the effect that the report should be adopted, and twat the directors should be authorised to prepare the supple mental Bill to be presented to the Assembly at Jamaica. These resolutions were seconded and carried unani mously. Thanks were then voted to and acknowledges by the Chairman, and the meeting separated. Some discussion then took place as to the propriety and validity of the meeting, the Company having amal gamated with other railway companies, which ended in its being decided that the meeting was a proper one. The usual advertisements calling the meeting having been read, the requirements of the Act having been gone through, and Mr. Powell, Mr. Nathan, and Mr. Blurton, having been appointed scrutineers, Mr. HODGSON moved, and Mr. NATHAN seconded, a resolution to the effect that the Company should be dissolved; and Mr. HASTINGS moved, and Mr. POWELL seconded, that " That dissolution should be considered as an act of bankruptcy." Upon these motions the scrutineers then pro ceeded to take the votes, and after the lapse of some considerable time they announced the numbers to be—for the dissolution 2,280 ; against it none. There, were 400 in favour of the dissolution being considered an act of bankruptcy, and 1,880 against it. The CHAIRMAN then declared that there was 'not a sufficient number of votes present to constitute a meeting that eould adopt a resolution for the dissolu tion of the Company, and the meeting was therefore adjourned to Thursday next, at three o'clock. The meeting did not break up till after five o'clock. The following protest was put in against the meet- lug : " To the Chairman of the meeting of the Warwick and Worcester Railway. " We, the under-mentioned shareholders, do hereby protest against the regularity of the meeting called of the above-nained company, to be held at the Hall of Commerce, London, on the 4th day of September, 1846, on the ground that the notices in the Gazette were contrary to the provisions of the Act of Parlia ment, the Warwick and Worcester Railway Company having amalgamated with other compani es .

LEGER (From the Doncaster Gazette,) The interregnum between the termination of the York , race 'meting and the commencement of the Doncaster Saturnalia, presents that glorious state of uncertainty— those fluctuations in the barometer of the " ring"—those doubts, arid surmises, and pretended certainties, which, however much they may tend to puzzle the attentive observer of passing events, aro taken advantage of by those who are initiated in the marvellous rites of the mystic circle. From the present moment to the great day of trial, big with the fate of victory and of defeat, all kinds of reports will prevail, rtiftltng the temper of some, disconcerting the calculations of others, and throwing additional darkness over that future Which it is a matter of difficulty to penetrate. What is told one morning, is contradicted the next. A highly favourable account prevails from one quarter, and is as:readily believed, as easily propagated ; the wish is father to the thought ; and then it is wonderfully contradicted, with a shrug of the shoulders, or a mysterious shake of the head. It cannot be put clown as a matter of astonishment, that credence should be readily extended with regard to matters which seem to favour the interest of one party, and act as a discomfiture to the other. But, amid all sorts of rumours and insinuations, propagated, in many instances, by those who wish that such and such may prove to be the case, the " old hand" waits with patience for the turn of the tide. He places more reliance on the strength of public running than on anything else. But, while he fixes his feet on these facts, he does not disregard, at the same tithe, the influence of the pocket with all its wonderful deeds, as well as those sinuous courses, which, although past finding out, because they are under-currents, are directed for very substantial rea sons and for the acquisition of a fixed and clearly de fined purpose. • The ex-Premier, or rather the dethroned Pyrrhus, like his great namesake, if not hit by a tile and rendered powerless, has " a tile off," and is gone to pieces. In deed, he is declared not to start. As to the entertained probability of his being able to imitate the Champion of 1800, it is now an utter impossibility. Lately, the Traverser has occupied his place; and he certainly advanced there by reasons which will not fail to be appreciated by those on whose judgment much re liance is to be placed. His predecessor may have ex perienced a sudden and surprising decline, commenced, indeed, at York; but Traverser has advanced in the scale with that degree of regularity which is calculated to show that there is somethin g in him, and that his party is sanguine of hi s success . Th e fact of the mode of this/ad vance will be steadily held in view by those who never run away with one idea, as is too often the case. It will not be found too much to state, that his powers and capabilities will bo found more fully developed in the St. Leger than, in consequence of the sustainment of some injury, was the case with regard to the Derby. At all events, he may be safely put down, according to pre sent appearances, as the best in Dawson's lot. A cloud of mysteries hangs about Brocardo. Nor does it seem likely, at present, that these mysteries will be dispelled before the eventful day. That they , will even be penetrated seems a matter of improba bility. And hence the necessity of exercising caution —something like taking warning by the notice, " steel traps and spring guns set in these grounds." Neverthe less, whatever surmises may have prevailed with regard to his performances for the Derby—whatever opinions may be entertained now with regard to his capabilities for carrying off the prize—it is quite certain that he is now in good work daily ; that he has the conformation of a winner; and that he possesses those qualities which, in despite of the " leg," are capable of carrying any horse well through a race. With regard to Brocardo, from the present moment to the great day of trial, every moment will be narrowly watched—every rise and fall in the scale of betting —every change with regard to his stable companions —every object which may either darken the mystery, or, seemingly, pierce the cloud. But Brocardo, put to the stretch of his powers, and to the full development of his capabilities, will be there or thereabouts ; and will be jotted down by Mr. Clarke. Sir Tatton Sykes has been removed from his position at the head in the betting scale, and compelled to suc cumb. But he rallied on Monday, and resumed his former position. The previous change may have arisen from various causes—from reports of sale, of being de feated in one of his trials, and of those many whisper ings which, under prevailing circumstances, seem almost as a matter of course. But, whatever may have been the legitimate cause of his decline—however hard his enemies may have tried to pepper hint, and that attempts will be made to sink him lower in the scale, there seems little doubt—whatever surmises may be raised that eccentricity may hurl judgment from its seat, ard put discretion out of court; it is a matter of impossibility to shake off the mind the convictions which have been im pressed there by the superior quality of his public per formances. Can the manner in which he won the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes at Nee, market;be disregarded? But, more than all, can the extraordinary qualities which ho exemplified in the Derby race be put aside as manifestations of no consequence or im port? It is questionable whether any horse ever did more—not even excepting Mamaluke for, the St. Leger, when, after having previously passed every Ihorse in the race, for he was left behind at starting, he was defeated by Afatilda ? Nor would it be right to blight the qualities of a horse because they were marred by indiscretion—an error which may be re trieved in the forthcoming event ; and which the spirit of honest rivalry—call it ambition if you like—points out as needful to be retrieved ; so that the name which stands eight times the victor in the table of St. Leger winners, may appear there as the ninth, and with, if possible ; a more honourable distinction. A friend at our elbow whispers, " Be just, and fear not." The defeat of lago at York by Poynton, has not dimmed the hopes and wishes of his friends. They are as sanguine as ever, even notwithstanding all insinua tions to the contrary—bandaged legs—only a miler— and so forth. They place much reliance on his Good wood performance ; and, consequently, think that he can last through iu the St. Leger race. It would be some mortification, however, if some kind friend were to hint to them that " Brocardo can lick his head off." Never theless, lago will defeat what has:defeated him, if it can be called a defeat—which seems somewhat questionable. lago is a game horse, and will run well. The Peri Colt has not come up to the mark of public ex pectation; and he must be marvellously altered if he can attain those honours, now, to which, at one time he ap peared to have a fair claim. Fancy Boy has many friends; and no doubt he belongs to a running and lasting family. But he has been ex tremely unfortunate; and notwithstanding his many ac • cidents on the Derby day, finished respectably. Fancy Boy, indeed, presents a remarkable contrast to Grimston. The latter has always had good luck on his side, and the former the reverse. Grimston, a game horse, may per haps be placed in the class of Godfrey, when he con tended for the St. Leger, unless continued good luck should carry him through misfortunes which may mar some of his more formidable competitors—circumstances the occurrence of which, however, seems very unlikely to take place. Dolo may run well; and not disgrace the colour which proved eminently successful with his noble owner's Blue Bonnet. Free Lance appears to have reinstated himself in the estimation of those who dwell much upon his earliest performances ; but it will be something very extraordi nary if he should prove the victor. The same may be said of Sting, who certainly ran well at two years old, but had the extinguisher put over him at Epsom. But since that period ho may have improved ; and there seems a determination on the part of his owner and trainer to retrieve his fame. Those who back him will do so with caution, and take into their calculation all the circumstances which have marked his racing career. As to the outsiders, they are rather in bad odour this year. Nor do those suspicions and misgivings hang about what are termed " dark horses," which have pre vailed on several former occasions. Cranebrook is deemed of most importance in this class, coupled along with Wilderness. It is not needful to say anything about those who are put in the crowd of the hopeless, further than that they will augment the start, and render the scene, on the eventful Leger day, far more imposing than would otherwise be th case. Mount Callan is declared not tie start. Whatever horse may prove the victor, it is quite certain, judgint , by present indications, that th e attend ance, during the e race-week, will be full—fuller, indeed, than is usually the case. Under these circumstances, it would be doing good service for some one, impressed with the splendour of the scene which is about to be enacted, to whisper in the ear of those who intend to become spectators "to arrive in the town as early as possible," and make sure of the proper accommodations, and, consequently, of their own comfort. Here it is time to pause for the present. A few days may—nay, a few hours probably, will work wonders; at all events, present indications which may show which way the land lies, or from what quarter the wind is likely to set in. It is a somewhat worn-out expression to say now, as has been frequently said—" it is anybody's race,'—an expression, indeed, which has been uttered when the great prize has been carried off with compara tive ease. That the ensuing trial will present a race deeply interesting there is every reason to believe; and the field will be imposing—some say nearer twenty, pro bably, than: fifteen. But it should be borne in mind that two competitors are already gone, namely, Pyrrhus and Mount Callan. In the meantime each party will cling to its favourite, until they get their eyes completely open. The friends of the Traverser are perfectly justified in doing so, if, as appears to be generally believed, he is really the best horse in Dawson's lot; because, supposing that such is the case, the trainer in question, with his undoubted experience, certainly possesses the means of forming a correct judgment of the powers and capabilities of the Traverser. Who, indeed, can form a more accurate one than himself ? On the other hand, however, regard will be paid to Sir Tatton Sykes, and to Brocardo, and to lago, as well as to the Tra eerser; and with very good reasons, too, without putting aside one or two more, which need not be particularly enumerated at the present moment. " Well!" the reader will probably ask, " but what's to win?"—a question, indeed, which is heard on all hands and in all quarters—not disregarding the nume rous " sweeps," which certainly increase the interest with respect to the decision on the eventful day of trial.

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.—The monthly meeting of this club last evening was but very thinly attended, there being scarcely twenty members present.

Lambart, of Fawley, Hants (who was duly elected), fixing the time of the closing trip, and proposing gentlemen for ballot at the next monthly meeting. It was arranged that the closing trip should take place on Saturday, the 19th instant, to start at three o'clock in the afternoon from Greenwich, and cast anchor for the night at Erith. Amongst those pro posed for ballot at the next monthly meeting was Viscount Exmouth. BURKE'S GENEALOGICAL DICTIONARY OF TDB LANDED GENTRY OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, Part IV.—This is the concluding Part of one of the most useful and interesting works we have for a long time encountered. It comprises a general history of that class in _society which holds the next place to the privileg ed order—the untitled country gentlemen—a class not one degree below the other in antiquity of descent, per sonal accomplishment, and national usefulness ; nay, the very chiefs of the houses from which the Nobility spring, are generally to be found in this division of the aristocracy. This, indeed, must occur in a country like our own, and for the simple reason that the eldest son and heir being already provided for, the field of adven ture belongs almost exclusively to the junior members of the family ; who, thus forced upon the arena, achieve by their prowess or their talents, the sword or the pen, fame, wealth, and eminence. The work is one of the most complete of its class, and evinces the deep research, indefatigable perseverance, and unre mitting labour of its able authors in its production. We trust that so useful a national publication will meet the encouragement that it merits, and that the spirited pub lisher will be amply compensated for the heavy outlay he has so liberally incurred in giving this valuable work to the public. Messenger. MADAME D'ARBLAY'S DIARY.—The Sixth Volume of the entertaining " Diary and Letters of Madame D'Ar blay," is at length on the eve of publication. Accord ing to report, it will prove to be one of the liveliest and most interesting volumes of the series ; for, besides the charming writer's unique pictures of court life in the days of George the Third and Queen Charlotte, which are resumed with many additional traits of character of different members of the royal circle, she carries the reader to the Court of Napoleon, when First Consul, and makes him acquainted with many of the celebrities of the French capital in the stirring times that succeeded the Revolution. The splendid mansion of the Marquis of Hertford, in Park-lane, known as Dorchester House, has been disposed of, and his Lordship has taken another in Berkeley-square. HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT.—AN EXTRA ORDINARY CURE.—Edward White, residing at 45, Clement's-lane, Strand, was an in-door patient at King's College Hospital for an abscess in Hi, thigh, and a wound nine inches long on the same limb. He could neither bend his knee nor put his foot to the ground. He remained in the hospital live months in bed, when he was in formed that "nothing more could be done for him ;" he was then carried to his home, and commenced using the above invaluable medicines. He is now, to the astonishment of every one, soundly cured, and can walk as well as ever he could in his life.

WAKLEY TESTIMO VIAL. 1,218 588 6,495 A preliminary meeting of the friends of T. Wakley, Esq., M.P.,was held yesterday in the Crown and Anchor Tavern, to take into consideration the best means of for warding the penny subscription now in progress for pur chasing a piece of silver plate to be presented to that gentleman as a testimonial of his worth, and the high respect in which he is held for his zeal, impartiality, and firmness in the office of Coroner. The meeting was very respectably attended. Mr. Sandford, of Lincoln's Inn, was called to the chair. The CErArnmAN briefly explained the purposes which had called them together. He thought that the services of Mr. Wakley imperatively called upon them to exhibit, by some reward like the one contemplated, their appre ciation of his great abilities, and the admirable manner in which he had performed the duties of Coroner. Cer tain resolutions would, therefore, be submitted to the meeting, and he would at once save the time of the gentlemen present by calling upon Mr. Sullivan to pro pose the first resolution. - Mr. SULLIVAN in moving " that this meeting duly ap preciate the indefatigable industry and unflinching pro bity of Thomas Wakley, Esq., in the performance of his duty as Coroner, and considers that he is well en titled to the gratitude of the country," eulogised in the warmest manner the conduct of Mr. Wakley, more particularly in the recent proceedings at Hounslow. He hoped that the recent changein the amount of punish ment would be followed by the total abolitio❑ of " the cat," and when this devoutly-to-be-wished-for consum mation should have been accomplished, the friends of humanity would have to thank Mr. Wakley for it. Mr. A. RAMSAY seconded, and Dr. WEED, of Mary lebone, supported it. Mr. W. HINDE, formerly in the 7th Hussars, the same regiment to which the unfortunate man belonged, then rose, and in a very earnest and energetic manner defended Colonel Whyte from the charges of inhumanity which had been urged against him. He well remem bered seeing on one occasion an old soldier tied to the ladder, when Captain Whyte rushed out, and said to the commanding officer, Colonel King, "For God's sake, Colonel King, do not punish that old soldier. I shall be answerable for his good conduct in time coming." The man was unbound and pardoned. He also called to mind a circumstance that occurred in Canada, where, when they were in daily expectation of being engaged with the enemy, a man was found in the act of deserting. He was sentenced to recive one hundred and fifty lashes, but was pardoned by Colonel Whyte after he had re ceived fifty lashes, on his promise of future good conduct. He might multiply many such cases, but he did not de sire to take up too much time. He had served under five colonels, and in no instance had he served under a more humane and feeling officer; this opinion he was certain would be corroborated by every soldier in the regiment. ' He fully appreciated the services of Mr. Wakley, as did many of his former companions. and he had no doubt that a considerable portion of the subscriptions would come out of the army. Dr. Errs suggested that it would perhaps be better to confine their approbation of Mr. Wakley's conduct to his recent services at Hounslow. Many persons had expressed their disapprobation of the witticisms with which the Coroner for Middlesex occasionally sought to relieve the tedium of business, and he (Dr. Epps) did consider that this levity was beneath the dignity of a judge. On these grounds he thought it better that the resolution should be confined to their approbation of Mr. Wakley, in the case he alluded to, and he was sure that that would secure general approbation. Mr. WHITE moved the following resolution:—" That the friends of Thomas Wakley, Esq., in consideration of his independent conduct as Coroner, more particularly upon the occasion of the late inquest at Hounslow, have resolved upon offering him some slight testimonial of the high opinion they have formed of him as a public officer." Mr. CHURCH, in an eloquent speech, seconded the resolution. Mr. WHITE also moved the third resolution, " That a committee be formed to raise a sufficient sum of money to purchase a handsome piece of silver plate to be pre sented to that gentleman." The committee was then appointed ; and after thanks had been voted to the Chairman, the meeting broke up. To Messrs. Morrison, British College of Health, London, September 4, 1846.

RAILWAY MONOPOLY IN KENT. (From the Times.) Parliament is no sooner prorogued, and all immediate prospect of interference with railway monopoly at an end, than the directors of the South-Eastern Company make a considerable addition to the fares throughout their main line and its various branches. Though the Legislature has suspended its functions, the power ofthe press is happily always in operation ; and it becomes more necessary that its force should be exerted when there is a cessation in the sittings of that higher tribunal which is specially intrusted with the protection of the common interest. The South-Eastern Company, having succeeded in bamboozling Parliementery Committees, has now commenced the victiinisation of the public with a speed that shames the fastest locomotive on the rail way. A large increase in the charges of conveying pas sengers has suddenly taken place, in spite of all the sacrifices that the directors promised to make for the general benefit, as an inducement to the Legislature to give the company the monopoly of the Kentish traffic. Nothing but the lowest practicable scale of fares can compensate for the fearful in convenience occasioned by the very circuitous communication which this company affords ; but high charges and indirect routes form a combination of annoyances that it is " too bad" to tolerate. Kent, under the present arrangement, is much in the same position with regard to the facilities of transit as that to which the metropolis is frequently reduced in conse quence of the blocking-up of its direct leading thorough fares. What the famous Commissioners of Sewers and others are in the habit of doing temporarily for the City and the West-end, has been permanently accomplished by the South-Eastern Company with reference to the distance between London and Dover or Ramsgate. Travellers from Charing-cross to the Bank are sent wandering wide of their destination during a period of, perhaps, six weeks at a time, but a journey to any of the places on the South-Eastern line must always embrace a series of the most tortuous deviations. It is bad enough to be carried miles out of one's way, but it is too bad to be taxed at the highest rate for travelling over the enor mous surplus distance which has been added to the ordinary length of journey by the eccentric meanderings of the rail way. Suppose some association were permitted to super sede all the direct London thoroughfares by a series of serpentine streets, and were allowed also the exclusive privilege of carrying the public from one end of the metropolis to the other at very exorbitant fares ; we should have some parallel to the case of the South- Eastern and its monopoly of Kent, which can only be traversed, at a large waste of time and money, through the imperfect and costly accommodation at present af forded. It is true that to the man of business speed is often more important than the saving of expense, but extravagant charges become a fearful grievance when aggravated by tardy and circuitous travelling. In the communication with Ramsgate the gain in point of time is almost nothing, for the railway offers very little ad vantage over the steam-packet ; while the fares by the former are thrice the amount of those charged for con veyance by the latter. Four hours all but twenty mi nutes is, according to the time-table of the South- Eastern, the average duration of the journey from Lon don-bridge to Ramsgate, and when allowances are made for delays, to say nothing of casualties, it frequently hap pens that the traveller byrail is full four hours in passing between the places specfied. For this, if he chooses the first class, he must pay Ms., when the steam-boat will convey him for one-third of that fare to his destination within a space of time not much exceeding that occupied in the tour by railway. The South-Eastern directors have taken an unfair advantage of the public by select ing the usual season for visiting watering-places, at hcme and abroad, to levy an exorbitant tax upon travellers. From numerous letters we have received, we feel as sured that this experiment on the patience of the public will not be very cheerfully submitted to, and it will cer tainly alienate from the South-Eastern that sympathy in its struggles with rival projects it has hitherto expe rienced. The comparative cheapness of its fares used to be cited as a proof of a disposition to compensate for the inconvenient circuity of its course. But it has now become one of the dearest as well as the most round about of existing railways. For some time we have observed a rapidly increasing irregularity in the departure and arrival of trains upon this line, bidding fair to gain for it a notoriety similar to that which has been acquired by Eastern Counties. The Hudsonian fault of non-punctuality seems to lead as a natural consequence to exorbitant charges, and the South-Eastern is already in this second stage of the infection, or whatever it may be that hangs over all the lines under regal management. As the ma lady affects and his originated with those companies over which his Railway Majesty presides, we may be justified in calling it a sort of railway King's evil. Its symptoms are high and feverish rates of fares, accom panied by terribly intermittent action of the powers of locomotion, and great irregularity of the whole system. We regret to see the South-Eastern manifesting all these fearful signs of having become infected with the Hudsonian malady. The complaints we have received from various sources show a determination on the part of the public not to submit quietly to one of the cool est pieces of imposition that ever was practised by a railway company. People who have taken summer residences on the line are justly incensed at the sud den alteration in the fares, by which even those who have only to go a few miles backwards and for wards every day find an addition of some ten, fifteen, or twenty shillings a week to their estimated expenditure. Those who have made their arrangements must of course allow themselves to be victimised, but when Parliament meets and rival projects are in the field, these persons will not have forgotten th e t wo or th ree months course of bleeding which they will have undergone at the hands of the South-Eastern Company. Those travellers who have gone abroad upon the low fares will undoubtedly be caught on their return by the high rates; but we sus pect it will prove the old story of cutting open the goose for the sake of the golden eggs in this instance. The unfortunate public is just now in the position of the goose, who can do nothing but hiss under the pro cess of victimisation. John Bull, however, is after all not quite such a foolish bird as some people are disposed to take him for; and he will doubtless find means during the ensuing session to protect himself hereafter from a repetition of such a trick as that which has just been played off upon him by the South-Eastern Railway. RAILWAY SIGNAL. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—l observe in your paper of yesterday a notice of a patent railway signal, which has been experimented with on the Eastern Counties Railway. It seems to me but a clumsy and inefficient mode of producing a sound which the steam of the engine is now made to produce with infinitely greater power than the lungs of any guard could possibly compass. It has often surprised me that the existing whistle of the WI gine has not been put in requisition as a means of communication between the guards and engine -drivers. Why, were a piece of string attached to the lever of the whistle valve, and simply thrown over the carriages, so as to be within reach of the guards, it would form no inefficient substitute for this patented contrivance ; and there is no doubt that, with the exercise of a little inge nuity, the steam of the engine might be made available for a great variety of signals, not under the control of the guards alone, brt within reach of every passenger in the train. If this latter object were accomplished, ladies need not then fear travelling alone.—l am, Sir, your's respectfully, J. B. York, Sept. 4,184 G. [The above suggestion is well worthy consideration ; indeed, some such simple contrivance has often occurred to ourselves.—En. Sim.] fio SUPPOSED SUICIDE OF A GENTLEMAN BY Dnowrallo.—On Wednesday evening a long inquiry took place before Mr. Bedford, at the King's Arms, Ranelagh-row, Thames-bank, concerning the death of Mr. William Johnson, aged 52, a gentleman of large property, residing at No. 14, Belvoir-terrace, Vauxhall Bridge-road. Ann Barnes, housekeeper to the deceased, said that her master was of a very nervous temperament, and at times he was so excessively agitated that he would cry out without any apparent cause. On Monday afternoon witness went out on some business, and on her return home, about half-past eight, she was informed that the deceased had returned at four o'clock, and he had been in and out of the house five or six times during the evening in a very agitated state. On entering the dressing-room she found it in a confused state, his ward robe strewed about, and he had gone out in the oldest clothes he had, leaving behind him in one of his drawers the keys relating to his papers and property, which he always carried about him, and which raised her sus picion that he did not intend to return, as he had pre viously told her that in the event of anything happening to him, she would find his keys deposited where they were found, and they were to be given to his brother, a solicitor, residing at Bunton, Norfolk. Verdict, "Found drowned." WESTMINSTER BRIDE..--Since Wednesday last the greatest activity has prevailed in removing the ballustrades the whole of which, on the upper side, are nearly taken down , it being intended to strip the bridge as low as the cornices. Yesterday the levels of the piers were again taken, and the result showed that, although they had not left off sinking, yet still the opinion of the gentlemen conducting the obser vation was, that the settling was decidedly less when com pared with observation on a previous occasion, and if the piers sink no further, there is not the slightest doubt but that the bridge will be as secure as ever for foot passengers till the erection of the new one. Two hundred men are now engaged on the bridge, and when the whole of the parapets are removed, if the piers are found to be in state quo, it is intended to erect a light parapet, :about four feet high, and then throw open the entire roadway of the bridge to the public. TuE CORN-LAWS.—The ruinous effect of the re peal of the corn-laws was very forcibly displayed at the sale on Saturday evening last at the Eagle Hotel, of the lease of the Manor farm at Grantchester by Mr. Went worth. We never remember to have seen a larger or more respectable company at an estate sale in this town than was assembled on that occasion ; or to have wit nessed more spirited competition. The lease is granted by King's College, to whom the estate belongs, for a term of years, of which nineteen are unexpired, subject to a corn and money rent of about 2001. per annum. The improved rent paid to the College lessee by the occupy ing tenant, Mr. Frederick Lilly, amounts to 6001. per annum. The lease was ultimately knocked down for the very trifling sum of 6,1601., to Mr. Devereux De n ton, on behalf of the occupier, Mr. Lilloy.
