FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, DEC. 2.—The average price of wheat in the week ending Saturday the 28th November, was 26f. 60e., that of rye, 20f. Bc. These prices are a trifle lower than those of the preceding week, viz., 26c. on wheat, and 27c. on rye. An experiment has been made at Grammont to make bread by an admixture of beetroot, viz., itilbs. of wheat flour, 3ilbs. of rasped beetroot, mixing a little more salt than usual. The experiment has proved perfectly suc cessful ; the result being 91bs. of excellent bread. The Chamber of Representatives, in the sitting to• day, received the reports presented by Messrs. Lowde and David in the name of the Committe e of Petitions. It afterwards formed a secret committee for the discussion of its budget. The trial of persons implicated in the disturbances at Nieuport during the files will be shortly terminated. According to the information received twenty-three soldiers and two citizens are to be tried. The wounds which have been legally proved are very serious, and extremely numerous. They were inflicted with the butt-end of muskets, with sabres and bayonets. A letter from Alost, relative to the linen market of Saturday, says, " The additional duties with which our linens are threatened in the states of the Zollverein, after the Ist January next, cause all the pieces that come to market to be eagerly bought up in orde; that they may be sent to Prussia before the new year. This produces a temporary advantage, which will be followed by an in crease of distress, unless the Government adopts the necessary measures to prevent the fatal effects which must result from the new blow with which our linen manufac tures are threatened. - COLOONE.—Reports from the' manufacturers of the circle of Gladlack addressed to the President of the Chamber of Commerce, upon the melancholy prospects of thousands of workmen during the ensuing winter and spring ; 6,000 looms are standing still, and from 12,000 to 15,000 persons are utterly destitute of work or of the means of obtaining any. Added to this, the work now in the hands of the manufacturers will not last longer than the end of December or the beginning of January. "It is manifest," says the Cologne Journal, " what must be the pitiable condition of the poor people, when this is the state of the manufacturers. The masters are be sieged by crowds of suppliants entreating for work, which they are compelled to refuse them with bleeding hearts, because they have none to give them. The effect of the misery upon the well-being and morality of the district is but too apparent, and all must look for ward with apprehension to the effects upon a manufac turing population. The obvious necessity of doing something to meet this crisis are most painfully felt, and doubtless efforts will be made ; but it is next to im possible that individual benevolence should meet the wants of so large a body of sufferers." ALARMING COLLISION ON THE BOLTON RAILWAY. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.—A collision of a frightful character took place yesterday upon the Bolton division of the Manchester and Leeds Railway, whereby a bal last-train, in which were 29 labourers, in the employ of the company, was run against by a luggage-train tra velling on the same line of rails, but in an opposite direction. The engine of the ballast-train was seriously damaged, and th% carriage containing the work-people thrown off the rails and turned over. The engineer and foreman of the luggage- train, seeing the opposite train approaching, shut off the steam and had time to jump off and escape uninjured. Assistance was procured as soon as possible, and the men, all of whom were more or less injured, were sent to their homes, where some of them at present remain in a very bad state. The accident appears to have been occasioned by the wilful disobedience of orders by one of the engine drivers. A portion of the line, near the Kearsley em bankment being under repair, the materials used in the works are conveyed from near Bolton, in order that the repairs might not interfere with the passenger traffic, the works were ordered to Ibe carried on in the night time. For the better prevention of accidents, one engine driver, named Johnson, was ordered to take all the luggage trains, either to or from Bolton, upon the " up" line, while Steventon, the driver of the train conveying ballast for the repairs, was ordered to use the " down" line. Had these instructions been obeyed, it is obvious there could be no passibility of a collision ; the ballast train was, however, run upon the irong rail, and the catastrophe above related occurred in consequence; and upon Steventon being asked how it was that he ran upon the wrong line, he excused himself by stating that he had done it to save the time that would have been lost by " shunting" the train upon the other line, as he thought that the luggage train would not run to Bolton again that morning, as it had already made two journeys since the preceding evening. Mr. Himmers, the secretary, and Mr. Issett, the su perintendent, having instituted an inquiry into the cause of the disaster, Steventon, the driver of the ballast engine, was taken into custody, and brought up before the county magistrates at the New Bailey Court-house, Salford. The circumstances having been fully investigated, the prisoner, in his defence, throw the blame upon one of the watchmen at the Bolton terminus, who told him there were no more trains coming on that line. Mr. Trafford told him that that was no excuse, for he had clearly disobeyed his orders, and, by so doing, he had endangered both life and limb. The- - prisoner was then sentenced for a month to hard labour ; and in the event of any of the injured parties dying, will be tried upon a charge of manslaughter. The injuries received by some of the men are stated to be of a serious character. ALMERIA GRAPES.—There are a description of grapes annually imported at this season of the year from Almeria, which are much esteemed. They differ very materially from almost every other kind of grape, both of home and foreign growth, having a peculiarly cool and refreshing flavour, and of so comparatively firm a substance, as, on being bitten, to burst with much force in the mouth, and in consequence of their full appear ance and extent of bunch, form a handsome dish for dessert, when other grapes, excepting those of an in ferior quality, throughout the winter months, are dear and scarce. The importation of this description of grape is now taking place to a considerable and unusually large extent. MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.—On Saturday last a little girl, about six or seven years old, while swinging on a railing at th e t o p o f a sta i r i n Rose-street, fell to the bottom, a height of three stories. She is now fast re covering. —Edinburgh Register. The mortal remains of the late Marchioness (Dow ager) of Westminster, were removed from Grosvenor square yesterday forenoon, for Eaton Hall, Cheshire, and this day they will be consigned to the family vault at Eccleston church, close adjoining. The Marquis of Westminster, the Earl of Wilton, and Lord Robert Grosvenor, left town last evening for the purpose of attending the funeral. WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE.—The whole of the west footpath is now repared, and the palisade is nearly finished. When the present high and unsightly hoarding is taken down, a good view of the new houses of Parlia ment will be obtained, as the new paling is about the same height as the stone balustrade on Waterloo-bridge. Many masons are now employed in layihg down the kerb -stones on the east side, and from the activity dis played, there is much promise of the bridge being opened to carriages in the course of a few days. Small trades men and poor people who get their living by hawking commodities about the streets for sale, will duly appre ciate the boon—of once more—a free bridge across the Thames at that part of the river. Sir Henry Pottinger will take his departure for the Cape Colony on Saturday ; leaving Southampton by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company's ship Haddington. Lieutenant-General Sir Benjamin D'Urban, whose appointment as Commander of the forces in Canada we have already mentioned, will proceed there with his Ex cellency the Earl of Elgin, the Governor-General. COURAGEOUS CONDUCT OF A CLERGYMAN.—On Wednesday, the 18th ult., at abouthalf-past nine o'clock at night, as the Rev. W. Powell, of Ragland, was sitting in the parlour at his vicarag e, he was suddenly alarmed by one of hi s servants, w ho had occasion to take up a mat from the hall door previous to fastening it for the night, rushing in and screaming violently that two men had forced themselves after her into the hall. He im mediately seized the poker, which was fortunately at hand, and went to demand what they wanted ; when, without uttering a word, they commenced an attack upon him with their clubs, but he parried the blows levelled at him with so much firmness, that though he received a severe cut on the temple, was knocked down, and severely bruised on the hands, shoulders, and knees, ' he succeeded in getting them out of his house. The cries of the females attracted two or three of the neigh bours to their assistance, though a quarter of a mile dis tant ; and as soon as the rev. gentleman was a little re covered they searched the premises, and discovered that the ruffians in their confusion had left a hat, a hedge stake, and a large club, behind them ; and that a con siderable quantity of blood was sprinkled over the hall in different placss.—Hereford Journal FREE WOODS.—The Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade having recommended the remis sion of the duties on locust treenails and mara wood, used in shipbuilding, the Commissioners of the Customs have received a communication from Mr. Parker, one of the Secretaries to the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, stating that he has been commanded by their Lordships to convey to tbm the authority of that Board, for the admission, free of duty, of locust treenails, and also greenhart and mars, wood, as woods which would have been formerly admitted as paying the same duties as teake, and therefore are entitled to be now admitted free for shipbuilding purposes, equally with that description of wood. SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW.—Yesterday the arrival of beasts and stock intended to be exhibited for prizes at the show of cattle on Tuesday next created a good deal of bustle in the neighbourhood of this great cattle depot. During the (lay many large and high fatted bullocks were admitted, having travelled to Lon don in vans, and in the course of the day several waggons of Prize cattle arrived in the metropolis by railway, and some rare fatted beasts have been brought from Scotland by the Aberdeen steamer. Among the stock to be offered for competition for prizes are some beautiful and well fatted beasts belonging to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, reared on the Home Far The n ja e d es will award the 'prizes to the owners of the ' best breeds o g f tittle and sheep, &c., on Tuesday next, and on the followinge day the exhibition will be thrown open for the sale o{ cattle and public inspection. LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RI.ILWAT.---We informed that the d e t erm i nation to open this lineare throughout on the 21st of D ecem b er next has been post poned—it is presumed, in consequence of General Pasley having resigned his situation as Inspector of Railways at the Board of Trade. The earliest opportunity will, however, be taken for openinr , the line, as we believe it is now in a complete state for public traffic.—Carlisle Pat,*. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 4, 1846. MILITARY FORCE OF MEXICO. We extract from the New York Courier and Enquirer a brief and interesting sketch of the military resources and capabilities of Mexico : " Mexico has always bad a larger army than any other American Republic. In 1827 it was 60,000 strong. At present it numbers 40,000; 30,000 of whom are infantry, 8,000 cavalry, and the remainder artillery. These troops come under two categories—active and permanent. The permanent are only called out on emergencies; but their organization resembles that of the active, to whom, in deed, they are very little inferior in efficiency. A regi ment of Mexican infantry comprises 2 battalions, 16 companies, and 1,792 men, rank and file. A regiment of Mexican cavalry is 676 strong. But these, though the number which appears on the muster roll of a Mexi can regiment, do not represent its real force. That force, from desertion and other causes, is continually varying. A Mexican colonel may command 1,000 men one week, the next not half that number. Nothing is stable in Mexico, except its climate ! At an annual cost of 8,000,000 dolls. these 40,000 fighting men are maintained. 26 generals of brigade and 14 of division command them. A regiment of Mexican infantry has a colonel, 2 lieute nant-colonels, 16 captains, 30 lieutenants, and 64 second lieutenants. If we mistake not, an officer is attached to each battalion who is called a commandante, a grade equivalent to that of major in our service. A French traveller, lately in Mexico, says that there were 24,000 officers in the army of that country! He may be right; but in his estimate he has included persons who hold merely honorary commissions, and also the retirados, or half-pays. The frequency of revolutions in Mexico is the cause of the vast number of retirados in that republic; for the leaders of a successful revolt, the moment they go into office, distribute among their friends a number of commissions, the recipients of which perform military duty and receive military pay for a year or two, when, another successful outbreak occurring, they are placed on the list of retirados. After the lapse of a year or two another revolution occurs, which has the same results as the previous one. Here it is necessary to remark, that the retirados only receive a portion of what is their due; so that the term " half-pay officers" is, as applied to them, something of a misnomer. The commissioned officers of the Mexican army are mostly white men; but men of any colour or caste may obtain commissions if they have the requisite influence with the Government. Few of the Mexican officers are highly educated; nor have they, as a body, that nice sense of honour which characterises the:officers of other armies. Within the last ten years a military school, on the plan of the far-famed Polytechnic School, at Paris, has been established in the city of Mexico. It is, or was till lately, under the charge of General Conde. Notwithstanding the assertion of the French writer we have already quoted from to the contrary, the school in question is a most valuable institution, and has begun to realise the expectations of its founders, nor could it well do otherwise. In the profession of arms, as in every other, ' knowledge is power," and the knowledge of the military man cannot be too profound or too ex tensive. " The pay of a general of division in the Mexican service is 500 dollars per month ; of a brigadier, 375, The subalterns are somewhat better paid than officers of the same rank in the British and French services; but, on the other hand, their clothing and accoutrements cost them more. In the city of Mexico you cannot buy a military cloak for less than 100 dollars. " Let us now say something about the private soldiers of the Mexican army. Their pay (in the infantry) is 12 dollars a month—in the cavalry, 12i. The soldiers, when in garrison, cater for themselves. Once a year they are supplied with a new suit of uniform, quite as well made as that of the California volunteers ! The cloth of which their clothes are made is manufactured at Queretaro, a town in the department of that name. " The colour of the uniform of the Mexican infantry is blue. Some of the cavalry wear blue, others red coats. One regiment of infantry, the 11th, and one or two of cavalry, are clad in white. Thera are two kinds of horse-soldiers in Mexico, Lancers and Dragoans. The Lancers are the most numerous. The cavalry are mounted on horses which, though small, ugly-looking, and only half trained, are incredibly hardy. The sabres of the privates are not good, yet they cost the Govern ment a goad deal of money. " The Mexican infantry are drilled in the French fashion, and armed with English muskets. " They are anything but serviceable arms, still -they are better than those made in Birmingham for sale in Africa, which are apt, the first time they ' go off,' to go off altogether. If the muskets of the Mexican soldiers are bad, their powder is a thousand times wurse. During the bombardment of San Juan de Ulloa by the French squadron, in 1839, many of the shots from the castle struck the ships, but failed in piercing the wood. It is said, that the powder used by the garrison of the castle was made in this city. If all the armies of America and Europe would use the same kind of powder, Elihu Burritt and the ' Universal Peace Society' would have reason to rejoice. "The mode of recruiting for the Mexican army has been often described by travellers. It is this :—A re cruiting party enters a town or village—they stop the first lazy-looking man they meet, and if he cannot give a good account of himself they handcuff him and take him to the barracks. There he is examined by the sur geon, handed over to the drill-sergeant, and three weeks afterwards he is a soldier. " About three-fourths of the Mexican troops are pure Indians, the rest Mestizos or half-breeds. There are very few negroes amongst them. "It is worthy of remark, that prior to the revolution, the Indians in Mexico were exempt from military service. And, what was very singular, the Spanish military code then in vogue contained a clause forbidding the enlist. meat of butchers, whatever their colour or birthplace. A great deal has !wen said in praise of Mexican valour, and a great deal in its disparagement. The truth lies between the two extremes—Mexico is not a nation of heroes; nor is it a nation of cowards. " There is great diversity of character amongst the Mexicans. The inhabitants of the department of Puebla are much braver and energetic than those of the depart ment of Mexico. But in the neighbourhood of Tampico exists a tribe of Indians who surpass all others in point of courage, resolution, and strength of character. It is from thess Indians that the Battalla de Tampico' (which so distinguished itself at Pulo Alto and Resaca de la Palma) is chiefly recruited. They resemble the Welsh in character—may they not be descendants of that people? There is a tradition in Wales, that about the fourteenth century one of their princes, accompanied by a number of his countrymen, their wives and families, left Wales on a voyage to some distant land, whence he never returned. " The Mexican soldier has one or two useful qualities. He is obedient to his officers, and he endures the greatest privations without a murmur. His stature is short—seldom exceeding five feet five inches, or five feet six inches—and he is clumsily made. In the management of his weapons he evinces no dexterity. Wanting pliancy of body and activity of mind, he makes but an indifferent skirmisher. Deficient in height and strength of arm, he is not calculated for a Grenadier. His strength is in his legs. He can march distances which even a Spanish soldier might fail to accomplish. During the revolution of 1841, Santa Anna made a forced march of 60 miles in twenty-four hours. Detach ments of Mexican infantry have been known to keep up with their mounted officers, though they (the officers) were going at a trot ! " Some travellers say that the cavalry of the Mexicans is much better than the infantry. This is not the case. Both are equally good, or, as some might say, equally bad. The cavalry, for the most part, are recruited from the same class of men as the infantry. The irregular cavalry, however, are composed of much finer men than the regular. They are chiefly Mestizos. Such is the army of Mexico. Thrice it has been defeated by General Taylor and his companions in arms, and we have little doubt that every conflict yet to come, if it be equally fair and open, will witness a similar issue." (CIIURCII-RATES.—A vestry meeting of the inha bitant householders and other ratepayers of the exten sive parish of St. Dunstan, Stepney, was held yesterday in the ancient parish church, in pursuance of notice, and in consequence of a monition from the Bishop of London, directed to the churchwardens, commanding them to ' adopt the necessary measures for making a rate for the repair of the sacred edifice, which is in a very dilapi dated condition. The meeting was a very stormy one, and the supporters and opponents of church-rates mus tered stronzly on the occasion. Mr. Head, a brewer and churchwarden of the hamlet of Mile-end Old-town, after alluding to the ruinous state of one of the most interest ing ecclesiastical edifices in England, and the necessity for its preservation, read the surveyor's report, and said that the estimated expense of repairing the church was 1,6501, an outlay which a 3d. rate would scarcely meet. He proposed a rate of 3d. in the pound, and the motion having been seconded by Dr. Buchanan, Mr. Holt, brewer, of Ratcliff, said a 3d. rate would not be sufficient to raise the sum required, and proposed a 4d. rate. Mr. Janson seconded the amendment, which was put from the chair, and carried by a very large majority. A scene of great confusion took place, and several persons got up and began to address the meeting. The Chair man, in the midst of the uproar, retired with the parish officers, and the church was soon cleared of the people, who had filled every corner of it. The repairs of the old church will be commenced forthwith, and 1,100/ , aiseii by private subscription, will b e expended in deco- . atiing the interior. _ FURTHER ALLEGED DESECRATION OF THE DEAD IN ST. GILES'S BURIAL-GROUND.---Fresh complaints having been made about this matter, a further communi cation has been made by the police; authorities to the Tim Mr. Pratt, the resident minister at the cemetery, who positively denies that any malpractices take place. Yesterday some members of the St. Pancras Board of Guzrdians visited the cemetery, in arder to ascertain the truth of the allegations. The large opening in the ground appropriated for the deposit of the remains of those bodies removed from Short's-grounds, Drury-lane, was opened, and shown to them by the sexton, who, in answer to questions put to him, positively declared that the remains were nothing but dry bones, and that there was no foundation whatever for the assertion that half decomposed bodies were indecently thrust into the hole. lle accounted for the appearance of smoke issuing from the graves, by stating, that it was a t'sonarnon thing in cold weather far graves to smoke when newly opened, consequent an the moisture of the earth. The only circumstance,. :apparently, to com plain of, is the fact that in digging the large pits for the palaper interments, some of the gray es as well as head and foot -stones of persons lying in thc vicinity have been disturbed. We are happy to state that Lady Cottenham, whose health has been indifferent for some time back, is im proving. Her ladyship is staying :at Brighton. ENROLMENT OF PENSIONERS VOR NEW ZEALAND. -it is intended to enrol six companies of pensioners, each consisting of four se rgeants, f our corporals, two .drummers and fifers, and seventy-rix privates, for service New Zealand. THE PRIZE PIG AND THE PRIZE PEASANT. (From Punch.) I never pass a fat pig by, But off I take my hat, And " I'm your servant, Sir," says I: What makes me act like that? Why, because I've been taught to behave as I ough And know my own degree; And I never neglect to pay proper respect, When 'tis due from me. For forty years, as man and boy, I've driven my master's plough; Was never out of his employ, And still am in it now : My children and wife I have kept all my life From off the parish clear; But merit like mine, to the worth of a swine, People think small beer. True I've not toiled so long for nought; I've met with some reward: And so, perhaps, you'll say I ought, Or else it would be hard. A prize I received:—the good gentlefolks griev'd They couldn't give more to me; Two pounds was the touch,—and a cow got as much But a fat hog, three. So to a pig I make my bow, As manners do require, And touch my hat to boar and sow, With parson and with 'squire. Though a Christian am I, yet a pig in a sty, My betters is, I see; For the pig makes fine pork, and I'm nearly past work; And they can't eat me ! LITERATURE THE COMIC A LMANACK FOR 1847. By George Cruikshank. Fascetious as have been the preceding numbers of this little publication, this is unquestionably the most fascetious within our recollection. The illustrations by the inimitable George Cruikshank are, with two exceptions, as rich in humour as any that ever pro ceeded from his etching-needle. One of the funniest notions this humourous draughtsman ever had is that embodied in the plate entitled " I dreamt that I slept at Madame Tussaud's." The comicality of the thing is actually extravagant. To every hypocondriac who is addicted to drugging himself with quack medicine we commend the engraving of the " Sick Goose and the Council of Health," and to every wife who disdains being a housewife as an ignoble way of exercising her abilities, we commend the one inscribed "My wife is a woman of mind." It is the realisation of the domestic miseries hinted at by Lord Byron in that Hudibrastic couplet— " And 0 ye Lords of Ladies intellectual, Inform us tru/y have they not hen-pecht you-all." When we observe that the motley disguise of " Rig dum Funnidos" is this year cast upon the shoulders of Mr. Henry Mayhew, the original projector of " Punch," we have uttered a guarantee that the lite rary portion of the almanack is under able editorship. As a specimen of the outrageous drollery of the letter-press, here is the commencement of a parody upon the sublime " Ossian" of James Macpherson. " Bring, daughter of the Rainbow! bring me the pen of steel! The mountain dew sparkles in Ossian's brain, and it is brilliant with song. As is the black reviver to the garment whose seams are white with age, so is the cream of the valley to the seedy soul of the bard. It brings back the freshness of youth. " A tale of high life! The deeds of the superior classes! " The draught of the waters of Kinnahan wakens the memory of the past. The odour of thy weeds, mild Lopez! is pleasant in Ossian's nose. Like the brow of Ben-Primrose, his head is veiled in clouds. Listen, thou daughter of the Rainbow! to the deeds of the superior classes. " A tale of high life! " Fair is thy Garden, 0 Covent! Green are its paths with the leaves of the cabbage. There the cauliflower of Fulham rests its white head, and the pine of Jamaica perfumes the breeze. The daughters of Erin ale there laden with Pippins of gold. Near are the halls of Evans. Music is heard in them by night. The morning dawns in song. The voice of Llewellyn of Wales gladdens the feast ; and Sloman, the son of Israel. pours forth his numbers, apt as the bard of Moses. Glad are the halls of Evans ! It is the abode of Joy ! "Wilt thou not listen, bright maid of the Rainbow! to the voice of Ossian ! my soul is bursting with song. The collars of my Corazza droop like the ears of the Greyhound, and my eye in a fine phrensy rolls. Thus the mighty Bunn appears when he dreams that he dwells in marble halls. Dost thou not behold, bright maid ! the head of a lion in Ossians hand ? A ring of iron depends from its mouth, and its face wears a look of rage. That head the noble Phlaruppe, Lord of Belgra via, tore away. Phlaruppe tore it away by the strength of his arm. Listen, then, daughter of the Rainbow ! to the tale of high life ! The deeds of the superior classes. " What sound is that kisses the ear I Across thy Garden, sweet Covent I It comes dancing along the breeze. Can it be the song of the lark climbing the sky ? But the lark wakes not the night with his notes; and bright burns the gas in the lamp of the Tavistock. 'Tis the voice of Von Joel, the toothless o gladdening the halls of Evans. Of Evans, the son of Thespis. "The Thespian son sits in his hall of state. The feast is spread around. The strong waters of Hodges and Betts sparkle on the beard. A thousand Havannahs perfume the air. A thousand glittering tankards foam with the nectar of Barclay. There is the ripe fruit of Erin, and the rabbit of Wales is there. " Who comes from the Saloons of the West, with his warriors around him ? He smokes the Dodeen of peace. His face glows with the juice of the Gooseberry. His cheeks are red as the garments of the bearers of letters on the festival of May ? Who is it but the noble Phlar uppe, the Lord of Belgravia, In his train is Sutton the Sambo ; and Burke, the hard of hearing, attends him. Mighty in battle are they ! " The lord of Belgravia graces the board ; the Bards hail his presence with a song. He quaffs the brown stout of Dublin. The night reels away in revelry. The morning peeps in at the casement ; and Phlaruppe, the Lord of Belgravia, is glorious with Guinness's. "A tale of high life ! the deeds of the superior classes." The two following Duans are descriptive of a freak of the Marquis of Waterford under the eupho nious soubriquet of " Phlaruppe." It would, how ever, be scarcely fair to encroach further upon the pages of the Comic Almanack. If ever the almanack deserved that attractive adjective, it does now. Both the pencil of the artist, and the pen of the editor have laboured most successfully to evoke merriment from the most unexpected and unconscionable themes. The pages are crowded with words and physiognomies which will elicit much hearty laughter. NEW YEAR'S DAY.—A WINTER'S TALE. By Mrs. Gore. In place of the ephemeral volumes, the sentimental contents of which suited well with their silken ex- terior—the " Amulets" and " Gems," and " Rubies" which were wont to celebrate this season of the year, a number of little works are now making their appearance, which more truly merit the title of " Christmas Annuals." Following in the wake of the ever-memorable " Carol," they seek to illustrate the genial nature of this festive season, not by the gorgeous character of their outward adornments, but by the warm and kindly sentiments which glow within them. And this is as it should be, for (to borrow from a comparison of Jeremy Taylor's) as those creatures which live among the snow are white, and so should all Christmas books have about them the characteristics of Christmas. They should inculcate lessons of brotherly' kindness, they should tend to undermine selfishness and pride, they should stimulate benevolence and charity—not caring to please the fancy or instruct the mind—their aim should rather be to touch the heart, to infuse into it kind and generous sentiments—breathing the very spirit of sympathy and love. Such are the qualities which should distinguish a Christmas book, such are the qualities which have gained for Mr. Dickens Christmas works such deserved and universal appro bation ; and it is inasmuch as they possess these or similar qualities that we gladly welcome such little volumes as the one before us. Much as we dislike imitators, yet we welcome them, for we are disposed to regard them, not as imi tators, but rather as followers (though at a distance) of a good example—as fellow-labourers (though in a humbler capacity) in the same good work. And foremost among these volumes, we are glad to find one from Mrs. Gore; in the first place, because her name and talents will render the book self more attractive, and its object more effec tual; and, secondly, we ar e delighted that this distingu is hed authoress has exerted her very considerable abil it ies ,is for so be nevo l en t a purpose . " N ew Year's Day a very simple tale, simply told, but this very simplicity is in many places full of beauty and pathos. Though the compliment may be somewhat questionable, there are some pages in this volume which we could hardly have believed written by Mrs. Gore, accustomed as we are to her severe and satirical remarks, and to the despicable and unnat ura l c h arac t ers w hi c h s h e oc casionally introduces to our notice. A very excellent moral is conveyed in this "Winter's Tale ;" besides forcibly illustrating the awful distinctions of rich and poor, it exposes the sad effects of ungovernable passion—these two objects are very adroitly inter woven. One of the principal characters, the haughty and impetuous Sir Jasper, whose naturally good heart is unable to neutralise the effects of his impe rious temper, had, from his ill-treatment, caused his only son to desert hii home. Years afterwards that son (supposed to be dead), returning from America, with his own young child to seek his father's house, is shipwrecked and drowned, while his boy, escaping from the catastrophe, is thrown al most friendless, and with scarcely a clue to his parentage, upon the unsympathising world of London. At the opening of the story he is knocked down by his wealthy grandfather's splendid carriage, and here and in many other places throughout the tale the contrast between rich and poor is made the more apparent by the fact of the individual repre sentatives of the two classes eing in reality members of the same family—the poor starving child, the heir of the wealthy baronet. We,will not further disclose • the plot ;—not that there is much plot to disclose There is, of course, a love story, but that is only a secondary attraction, the real interest being concentrated in the little George, whose mournful fortunes are very beautifully narrated. Thc. history of the unfriended child, his humble exer- tions, his lack of sympathy in his sorrows, the pride clinging to him through all his sufferings, his gentle, patient, persevering character, are all portrayed in a most impressive and affecting manner—not less creditable to the authoress than her most brilliant compositions. We must, however,.find fault with tin close of the tale ; it is somewhat too mournful for the time and theme. We object to it, not because of the death introduced into the denoue• ment—for the death of a favourite character often conduces to the impression produced, and the good effects occasioned by the perusal of an in teresting tale, the tears shed over a book often embalm it in our memory, and imprint its lessons on our heart—and so it may be with this tale of " New Year's Day." Yet we are inclined to think that the same closing scene might have been differently ar ranged—a few smiles might have mingled with the tears—a ray of Christmas sunshine might have gleamed amid the shadows. Many of the characters are very effectively pourtrayed. John Talbot, the old servant, is peculiarly interesting, forming a strik and wayward" master. o i a n n g d a c n on e t x ra c s e t lle t n o t his 1° companion n y prtrait to the character of the gentle child. It is hardly necessary to say that this little volume is elegantly bound and suitably illustrated. The concluding verse of the dedicatory stanzas may be appropriately addressed to all the readers of the tale : " If from thine eyes The scales have fallen away,— If with a warmer pulse thy heart Throb for the ills of clay,_ Requite with mingled smiles and tears My gift of—New Year's Day." THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND MAGAZINE. This is a very useful and interesting periodical, furnishing a series of reading f or eac h S un d ay i n t h e month. It is peculiarly valuable, as tending to en force the practical duties of religion instead of enter ing into any doctrinal discussions. The present number contains several sermons, some sketches of natural history and scriptural geography, various sacred poems, sundry pieces of useful information under the head " Miscellaneous," and numerous in• teresting papers upon the " Last year of William the Conqueror," "Biography of Lady Elizabeth Russell," " Missionary Records," the " Siege of Londonderry," &c. " Passages of Scripture arranged under heads," is a series of great practical utility. There is only one paper of " Juvenile reading"—the adventures of Madame Godin in the country of the Amazons This is a department which is susceptible of great improvement : moral tales and interesting biogra phies, calculated to afford entertainment as well as instruction, and to furnish young readers with a pro fitable occupation for the leisure hours of a Sunday, would be a valuable addition to a work such as the present. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—MURSDAY. We subjoin a statement of busineis done, from which it will be seen that the betting took a very limited range, and that the market prices remain as they were last quoted CHESTER CUP. 1000 to 20 agst 11Ir. W. Scott's Erin-go-bragh—taken DERRY. 15 to 2 agst Lord Eglinton's Van Tromp—taken to 251., and afterwards offered. 800 to 50 agst Mr. Bowes's Epirote—taken 2500 to 100 agst Mr. Mostyn's Planet—taken 2000 to GO agst Mr. Worley's Old Port—taken 1000 to 25 agst Duke of Richmond's Red Hart—taken, and afterwards offered 1000 to 15 agst Col. Peel's King of Naples—taken 2,000 to 100 agst Gabbier, Projectile, West India Plantar, and King of Morven—taken. The backers of Old Port was anxious to go on. Offers to take 1,000 to 30 about Lunedale, and 1,000 to 20 about Wanota. In the betting on Monday we omitted 2,000 to 10 agst Lord E. Russell's Clarendon. Mr. Phillimore, Wienireman of high standing on the turf, died at Brighton on Monday last, after an illness of two years. The nominations of Saddle and several other horses become void. The Leamington Steeple Chases, as we stated yester day, are postponed till Tuesday, the 15th. Bets, we presume, are off, and it is a question if the races them selves are not void, unless the engagements be renewed. The power of postponement from day to day is admitted, but it is doubtful if it extends beyond the week, for which the races were originally made. The Bentinck Benevolent and Provident Fund, in cluding the sum of 2,1001. Consols, being stock purchased with money subscribed for a testimonial to Lord George Bentinck, now amounts to 2,400/. Consols. The fund is established for the " benefit of trainers and jockeys, their widows and children," under the provisional ma nagement of the Bentinck Testimonial Committee, viz : the Dukes of Beaufort, Bedford, and Rutland, Lords Chesterfield and Eglinton, and the Honourable G. S. Byng ; each of whom has subscribed 251. to the fund, in addition to an annual subscription of 101. The subscription of a trainer or rider is limited to two guineas annually, and those who have contributed to the fund, and their widows and children, will have a prefer able claim to relief, the committee, however, having the power of rejecting the donations and subscriptions of those who, in their opinion, are not worthy to become members of the society, and also of striking off the list any trainer or rider who may misconduct himself after becoming a subscriber. No grant will be made until after the Newmarket First Spring Meeting, 1847. Forty-. seven trainers and jockies have already subscribed, the majority for two guineas each. The fines imposed at York and Newmarket Races, amounting to Ml., have been added to the capital. SALE OF THE BOOKS, SERVICE OF PLATE, WINES, &e., OF THE LATE SIR C. WETHERELL, KNT.—Tuesday the property of the late Sir Charles Wetherell, Knt., consisting of the books, the service of plate, the wines, &c., was entirely disposed of at the Rolls Auction Rooms, Chancery-lane, the sale having occupied four days. Some of the plate had belonged to the services of George IV., the Duke of York, Sir John Leach, &c. The wines, &c., were brought from the cellars at the mansion in Berkeley-square, and the chambers, Stone buildings, Lincoln's Inn. The pl a t e went at pr i ces varying from ss. 6 d. to 12 s. 2 d. per oz., and of thes e there were 185 lots. The following were the prices that guineas bot tled forty years, 41 . 4 s. per dozen; 23 dozen of brown sherry, fifteen years in bottle , 64 5. per dozen, &c. The wines realised between 1 , 1001 . and 1,5001. The l aw the deceasedper of for thedozensome nogf wines t h s tatede fetched books comprised 253 lots, including an immense number of reports. The following are the prices which some of the lots went for:—The Statutes at Large, from Magna Charta to the 41st George 111. (by Runnington), from the 41st George 111. to the Bth and 9th of Victoria (by Tomlins, Baithly, and Simons), 31 vols., 231. 155.; Calendars of the Proceedings in Chancery in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, 3 vols., 1830-34; Corpus Juris Civilis, anno 1663 ; and Velor Ecclesiasticus, temp. Henry VIII., 6 vols., 1810-34, 291. 18s. 6d.; Journals of the House of Lords, volumes 34 to 52, with calend ar and index; and Journals of the House of Commons, with index, 85 vols., 291. 18s. 6d. Yesterday's sale comprised the miscellaneous library of Greek, Latin, German, Italian, and French works of all the most learned authors of antiquity and of modern times. PUBLIC WORKS.—Upwards of two hundred and fifty pay-clerks have been appointed by the Board of Works, and are now officially engaged throughout the country. If the accounts which have of late, frequently reached us from the provinces may be credited (and in no one instance can we advance reasonable grounds for doubting their authenticity), it has become too much the fashion amongst independent men, gentlemen of stand ing and influence in their respective localities, to seek the appointment of pay-clerk from motives only too ob• vious, and the duties of which would be just as efficiently discharged by individuals to whom the emoluments might be an object as a means of support for respectable, though reduced families.—Dublin Evening Herald. THE SUNDAY TRAINS.—We understand that a subscription has been originated by several gentlemen connected with the Royal Exchange for setting this vexed question at rest. From the well-known public spirit of those who have taken the matter in hand, we have no doubt, though it will he connected with con siderable expense, that the whole question will shortly be submitted to a full meeting of the shareholders, when the result will be conclusive. It seems, from the Edinburgh papers of this morning, that the number of directors in favour of stopping the trains is but four ! The facts, we understand, are these :—The seven English directors were unanimous in favour of the continuance of the trains, but consented to leave the matter to the eight Scotch, as better knowing the public wishes, and accordingly stood entirely aloof. When the matter came before the eight Scotch directors, it was found that they were equally divided as to the propriety of stopping the trains ; but as four of them were very eager to try the experiment, the others (not very wisely or justifiably, as we think) gave way. So the fact is that the number of ' gentlemen who have undertaken forcibly to regulate the Sunday movements of the inhabitants of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and all places adjacent and interjacent, is but four !—Glasgow Saturday Post, MERCHANT SEAMEN,.The Commissioners of the Customs , department have received a communication from Mr. Parker, Secretary to the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, stating that, with reference to their reports relative to the Merchant Seamen's Act, he has been commanded by their Lordships to acquaint them that their Lordships approve of the suggestions therein contained, " for not proceeding against parties who have omitted to require the names of the seamen to be signed at full length, and for giving full publicity to the same;" and that pending the re-adjustment of the law, their Lordships desire that Mr. Field, the Collector of the Customs at the Cape of Good Hope (as well as the ether collectors in the cllonies), m ay be apprised that the law does not impose upon the Collectors of Custom! the duty of proceeding by information before her Majesty's Justices of the Peace, and that it forms no part of his duty to sue in the character of an informer for the penalties imposed by the Merchant Seaman's Act (7 and 5 Victoria, cap. 112.) PRIZE CATTLE.—The City of London Aberdeen steam ship came up the river yesterday with 250 head of cattle on board, amongst them are nine fat oxen of enormous dimensions, intended for the Smithfield Club cattle show. THE FRENCH MEDITERRANEAN SQUADRON. The Constitutionnel states, that the rep•rt tvidrecse I by the Prince de Joinville to the Minister of Marine, on the operations of the Mediterranean Squadron placed under his command, was divided into two parts. I❑ the one the Prince examines the capabilities of the steam ships, and, in the other, those of sailing vessels. "The steam-ships employed in our squadron," says the Con stutionnel, " were not constructed on the mixed system, in which sails are combined with the steam force. We had not even in that squadron a single vessel propelled by the screw. The English have anticipated us on those iwo points, and the experiments they have made in that respect have presented the most interesting results. Our steamers could only be regarded as tug-boats and avisos, and as such they were of great service to the squadron. Their mission as tug-boats consisted in placing the ships against the wind in the line of battle assigned to each by the Admiral. They accomplished that object to the great satisfaction of our officers. The steamers Descartes, Asmod6e, Magellan, Cuvier, and Pluton were most efficient in that respect, and brought up the ships to their line of battle at the rate of three and even four knots an hour. As avisos, the steamers executed their service with all the rapidity desirable. They might act, if necessary, as the scouts and advanced guard of a neval army. Lieutenant Nourrit de la Rtinciere, in a recent publication, compares steamers to the cavalry of an army. That comparison, repeated in the very remarkable pamphlet of Baron Dupin on the law granting an extra ordinary credit of 93,000,000 f. to the navy was justified by the attitude of our steamers. In a word, the squadron composed of ships of the line and steamers navigated and manoeuvred much better than if it had been formed of sailing vessels only. "As respects the sailing ships, it appears that the Admiral had not generally to complain of the manner in which they manoeuvred, with the exception, how ever of the two 100-gun ships, Hercule and Jemmapes. " In the first place, in respect to the force, it would be incorrect to look on them as being equal to one hundred guns, fat in this number there are many gnns which are net available for oblique pointing; if a commander of a ship is engaged with another ship against which he wishes to fire a whole broadside, it is necessary that the fore and aft guns should be obliquely placed, so as to make them converge to the same point of aim. It follows that instead of being upon a ship having 60 guns, attributed to the second rank, one has a ship which is properly placed in the class to which she belongs in re spect to her size, but which is, in fact, by the calibre of her guns, below a ship of the fourth class—that is, of the lowest class. This is a very great inconvenience, and this is what fvequently increases it. When the weather, without, however, being:very bad, is such that the sea is not smooth, the lowest tier of guns must be closed, because the ports are too near the floating line. It is true this inconve nience in like manner applies to all vessels, but it is com • paratively experienced in the highest degree in 100 gun ships. Thus these ships of this kind lose the use of the guns which are not available for oblique firing, and on the other hand one-half her guns paralysed at the least breeze. It seems that as to sailing capabilities nothing worse could have been conceived than the build of 100- gun ships. The sea capabilities of a ship are usually estimated according to her speed and her tacking about. Now, it is well known that in fine weather and with-a speed of six miles an hour the Hercule and the Jem mapes seldom succeeded in tacking about, whilst this was done without difficulty by other vessels in company. This is a matter of the highest importance, for suppose a ship being near the coast or a shoal of rocks at sea, is obliged to veer, that is, wind a-head instead of aft, she is lost if she cannot do this quickly. 100-gun ships are extremely slow in lulling up to the wind, because the ac tion of the helm is not sufficiently felt. Up to this time a three-decker has been looked upon as being the heaviest and the most difficult to manage. The naval science of our time has invented a ship which is not only less manageable, but whose sailing power is wholly in ferior ; for sailing in a squadron the Hercule and the Jemmapes have always been the last. Surely here are more reasons than necessary for laying up in ordinary 100-gun ships ; it is, therefore, not to be wondered at that the Jemmapes and the Hercule on their arrival at Toulon were half unmanned, which is equivalent to a disarming. The plan on which these ships were built, as far back as 1824, was, 'therefore, an unlucky innovation. If however, the evil could be repaired by taking two ships from our fleet, already so limited ! But there are on the stocks 11 ships building on the same model, and which are too far advanced to be modified. We have in this state, at Toulon, the Eylau and the Navarin ; at Rochefort, the Turene and the Ulm ; at Lorient, the Wagram and the Fleurus ; at Brest, the Toga ; at Cherbourg, the Hannibal, Austerlitz, Duquay-Trouin, and Henri IV. The Minister who has already too much in these 11 ships, oust certainly not to have laid it down as a principle in his ordinance on the effec tive force of the fleet, that there should always be ten 100 gun ships afloat. Other observations have been made in respect to 74-gun ships, which are, by the by, some of the best models that have come out of the yards. Therefore it has been proposed to razer the poop and forecastle of these ships in order to place pieces of the heaviest metal on swivels, such as those on the largest steamers. It is thought that this alteration, which is easy of execution, will greatly increase the strength of these ships, and will also add to their sail ing capabilities. Such are the chief observations to which the last cruise of our evolutionary squadron has given rise. It now is well known to what use steam ships in a squadron mqy be put, as also the relative value of line-of-battle ships. The time is assuredly come when we ought to make the experiment of mixed vessels, built for sailing as well as steam." DREADFUL OUTRAGE ON THE CONTlNENT.—Par ticulars have been sent to the Hue and Cry of a most during robbery that has been committed at Cracow. It seems that when everything was quiet, three notorious offenders got into the grounds by force, broke through a treaty that stood in their way, demolished everything of value they found in the houses of legislature, turned the whole concern topsy-turvy, and have not left a ves tige of the old place standing. One of the offenders, who is well known to the police by the name of Austria, is still in possession. His two confederates have been content with their share of the booty, and have re turned to their old haunts. Their designations are Russia and Prussia. No means have been taken as yet for the restoration of the stolen property. It is sup posed that the authorities are holding back in the hopes of a reward being offered.—Punch. THE BRAZILIAN SUGAR TRADE.—A cargo or two of new Brazilian sugar, imported under the new law of last session, may be expected in Liverpool very shortly. This will be the beginning of a new trade, which will probably continue to extend until the country has be come a depot for the principal part of the sugars of Brazil and Cuba.—Liverpool Courier. DEATH FROM SYRUP OF POPPIES.—On Wednesday Mr. C. J. Carttar, the Coroner for West Kent, held an inquest at the United Service Tavern, Woolwich, on the bodies of two infants, named Charles Simcox, aged five months, and Goldfinch, who, it was alleged, had died from the effects of an overdose of syrup of poppies. The inquiry had been adjourned several times, but the fol lowing is a brief statement of the facts of the case : Some weeks since the infant child of a woman named Goldfinch was rather indisposed, and, on the advice of a neighbour, named Anne Simcox, she gave the child a dose of syrup of poppies from a bottle which Mrs. Simcox had in her possession. The child was taken ill immediately, and upon a medical gentleman, a Mr. Timpson, being sent for, it was found to be labouring strongly under the effects of a narcotic poison, and, notwithstanding every remedy, it died the next day. In the conversation that ensued on the arrival of Mr. Timpson, Mrs. Simcox reproached herself for recom mending the mother to administer the poison, stating that it had caused the death of her own child about eight months previous, but that she thought a little of it would not hurt tite deceased. Mr. Timpson refused to in quiry. Evidence the certificate, and hence th e present Evidence confirmatory of the above having been given, the jury, after a long deliberation, returned a verdict in the case of Charles Simcox, " That the deceased died, but from what causes there was no evidence to show ;" and in tit, case of the child Goldfinch, " That th e de ceased died from a dose of syrup of poppies, administered by the mother in ignorance." CITY OF LONDON ASSOCIATION FOR THE RELIEF OP THE POOR.—Wednesday evening the annual meet ing of the subscribers and friends of the above Associapon, established for the purpose of supplying the necessitous poor of the city of London with coals and potatoes, at a reduced price, during the winter months, was held at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill; the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presided, supported by Aldermen Wilson, Kelly, and Gibbs ; Deputies .Bedford, Brown, and Corney; Revds. J. Harding, 'Munro, &c. The report, read by the Secretary, stated that the Association had been established more than half a century. Last year the City Kitchen opened on the sth of January, a n d closed 27th of March, a period of twelve weeks, during which was distributed 25,640 cwt. of coals, at the rat e of 6d. for 1121bs. each ticket. N o t withst anding a grant from the City Corporation of 2001., the balance was only 71. 6s. 2d. The balance-sheet stated that the donations amounted to 1,2221.; cost of coals, 1,4391.; produce of sale, 6411. 45.; expenses, 13/. 16s. 9d. Th e report, on the motion of Mr. Alderman W ilson, was unanimously adopted and ordered to be printed.. On the motion of the Rev. Mr. Harding, it was resolved, that acti ng on last year's experiment of the comforts to the poor in giving them a more ample supply of f ue l, coals only should be distributed during the ensuing winter. Thanks having been voted to the Lord Mayor, the meeting broke up. HIGHWAY RQBBERIES.—On Saturday evening last two robberies were committed in the outskirts, and an attempt was made at a third. Th e fi rst was between six and seven o 'clock, and was committed on Mr. Howell, of Broad-street. He was goi ng a l ong the road at the back, of the Temple, when t wo men came behind hi m , an d gave him a blow which brought him to the ground and stunned him. They then rifled his pockets, from which they took several keys, a gold watch, and a steel purse, containing, as he supposes, six or seven shilling s , and then left him. M r . H owe ll immediately proceeed to the Town hall, and gave information of the robbery, and Mr. Ch ase sent up an officer, who, on go i ng to the spot, found the purse, a half-crown, and a 'shilling, and the chain and seals belongi ng t o t h e watch. About an hour after this robbery occ urre d, a yout h , named Edward Gillam, was proceeding along Clifton-hill, which is near the same spot, wh en h e was attac k ed b y two men, who knocked him down and rifled his pockets, taking about 12s. They als o t oo k f rom hi m a quantity of pap e r bags of Gillain's manufacture, which he sells to fruiterers and others. About half past nine o'clock the same evening, a man named Brown, one of Mr. Streven's porters, was going to Mr. Bright Smith's with a basket of game, when he was attacked near the same spot by one man, who laid hold of his basket, and said, " Give me this." Brown called out, and a gentleman who was on his way home in Montpellier -crescent, hearing him, came to his assistance, on which the thief made off.—Brighton Guardian. WARWICK, WORCESTER, AND RUGBY. The shareholders in this defunct scheme assembled yesterday at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, to consider what steps were most advisable to adopt, in order to wind up the affairs of the company and divide the balance of the capital among the proprietors. Mr. Ward, M.P., was called to the chair, and briefly stated his regret that their prospects were not of a more en couraging nature. In compliance with the expressed desire of the shareholders, the directors bad amalga mated with two other companies, but he regretted to say, that owing to the inefficiency of the plans they were unable to pass the Standing Orders' Committee. There was now in hand, after setting aside a consider able sum to meet the expenses of a Chancery suit, in which one of the amalgamated companies had become involved, the sum of 6,7901., which would afford a re turn of 7s. 6d. per share. By the financial statements it appeared that 43,9111. had been received as deposits upon 20,910 shares at 2/. 2s. each, and that the entire disbursements amounted to 38,0001. Mr. Spackman and several gentlemen afterwards addressed the meeting, and urged the necessity of declaring the company bank rupt, as if such step were not taken, it would be impos sible to obtain any revelation respecting the company's affairs. They believed the affairs had been grossly mis managed, and that a much larger dividend would be returned, if the meeting decided upon declaring the dis solution an act of bankruptcy. After an angry alterca tion, Mr. Spackman, Mr. Samuels, and Mr. Clarke were appointed scrutineers, to register the shares. Upon investigation, however, it appeared that there was not a sufficient number of shares represented to constitute a meeting. The proceedings were, therefore, adjourned until Wednesday next, in order to obtain the requisite number of votes. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, DECEMBER 3.

Mr. Brown having taken the chair The Secretary, Mr. BADMAN, read the report, which stated that the chief purposes of the proposed lines were, first, the establishment of the best and shortest high way between Exeter and London; and, secondly, in creased accommodation for Midland, Somerset, and Central Devon, combining with the latter a convenient transit to Cornwall. The first • was intended to be secured by a railway from the trunk line, near Taunton, to join the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, at Castle Cary. There were two other schemes for lines between London and Exeter: the Exeter Great Western, by way of Yeovil, and the South-Western scheme, by way of Basingstoke, Salisbury, and Yeovil. By the line from Taunton to Castle Cary, the distance between London and Exeter wai shorter than by either of those two; and, instead of an expenditure of a million arid a half of capital, it would not require one-fourth of that amount ; as out of 581 miles between Exeter and Castle Cary, 36- were on their trunk line, leaving very little more than 22 miles of new railway to construct. To afford accommodation to Midland So merset, it was proposed to make a line from Bleadon, near the southern end of the Uphill cutting, toAxbridge, `Cheddar, Glastonbury, and Street, there to fall into the line above mentioned. The length of this loop would be 23k- miles. The directors felt it to be their duty to call the attention of the shareholders to the country west of Exeter, with a view to the construction of lines through that district into Cornwall; the abandonment of the North Devon Railway scheme, and the revival of the Devon and Cornwall Central by the South-Western Company, having left them no alternative but to carry operations into those districts, and they had therefore caused the necessary plans and documents to be deposited for the lines extending from Crediton, in the county of Devon, by way of Okehampt on , to Launceston, in the county of Cornwall, a distance of 36 miles, and from Launceston to near Liskeard, 18 miles—there to meet the Cornwall Railway. The CHAIRMAN apologised for the absence of Mr. Gibbs, the chairman of the company, which was caused by that gentleman's not entirely concurring in the schemes which the directors felt it their duty to recom mend to the proprietors. llitherto they had worked most cordially with the Great Western Company, but that company had recently thought fit to promote a scheme between Exeter and Yeovil, which, if successful, would divert the most important traffic from their line, that of the through traffic to London. The directors, therefore, felt bound to promote the schemes then before them, for the purpose of protecting their interests, when their lease to the Great Western Company expired, which it would in two years. The Chairman concluded by moving a resolution approving of the report, and authorising the directors to take the necessary steps for carrying out the proposed lines. Mr. VATCRER seconded the resolution. Mr. MORTIMER asked whether Mr. Gibbs had seceded from the direction, The CHAIRMAN replied in the negative, and the resolution being put, was carried unanimously. Another resolution, authorising the directors to make the Parliamentary deposits, was also carried ; and after a short conversation, in the course of which Mr. Gregory, the new engineer, explained the course of the line, the meeting separated.
