JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en` eavours made Jay many persons to impose a spurious article for their make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the nbliq in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The genre ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un guarded ; and, for their detectien, J. B. and Ssn, submit the following cautions:—Some aro in appearance at first sight, " the genuine," but without )kanie or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies," and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. Johr Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope will prevent many disappointments. BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such ;neat satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom mended as a most useftil and convenient sauce ; will keep good in all climates.

A large portion of these estates is rich and very productive land, lying in the valleys of the River Main, and the Braid and Kells waters. The Galgorm Estate includes the fine mansion of Galgorm Castle, on which a considerable sum has been recently expended in valuable improve. ments. Attached to the castle is. a demesne of about 150 acres of superior land, in hand. On the property, which embraces a great volume of water-power, there are many extensive bleach greens, beetling and corn mills, in the occupation of wealthy and respect able manufacturers ; and several of the tenantry are engaged in, or connected with the various branches of the linen trade; the ma iority are Protestants, and, in the highly favoured province of Ulster, are remarkable for their industry and intelligence. The bogs attached to the estate are very valuable, and there are exten sive tracts of pasturable and easily reclaimed mountain lands, abundantly stocked with game. The property is in the immediate neighbourhood of Ballymena, and approaches within a quarter of a mile of this, the largest inland town in the county, and is only 20 miles distant from Belfast. The entire of the estates includes a surface of about 50,000 acres.

W. Simpson, the well• known and deservedly respected auctioneer and valaator, has recently published %pamphlet, entitled ' A Defence of the Land lords oflreland, with Remarks on the Relation between Landlord and Tenant, The' Dublin Evening Packet,' in reviewing this work, gives the following character or its author Mr. Simpson, we scarcely need remind our readers, is an Englishman, of vast ex perience in matters relating to the improvement and value of land in his own country. He is, moreover, a gentleman of most com prehensive views, and possesses an understanding naturallystrong, and a stuck of practical knowlege and sterling sense which falls to the lot of very,few persons in his own or any other rank of life. With the social condition of Ireland he has made it his business, almost as a matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughly ac quainted. He feels for her wants, and has contributed as much, perhaps, as any man in his time to improve her resources, by en couraging the investment of British capital in every department of Irish industry. Such a witness as this we therefolv hold to be beyond the reach of suspicion, on the score eithfr of interest or partiality. His testimony must be regarded as invaluable, as it is unquestionably unimpeachable.' " • - IRELAND—IN THE COUNTY OF KERRY.

OBSERVATIONS RELATING TO THE VERY IMPORT ANT ESTATES AT PRESENT ADVERTISED FOR SALE BY AUCTION AS ABOVE. --• R. IV. w. SIMPSON, - for obvious reasons, VA. has recommended the proprietors of Irish Estates who have honoured him with their confidence, to postpone those sales, which were advertised to be sold by Auction in April and June last to the autumn of this year. The ameliorating measures brought forward by the late, will no doubt be carried out by the present, Government, and the confidence which attach to these measures has already inspired that tranquillity which tends to industry and that increased prosperity in the country which must ensure remu nerative and secure investment for capital. The applications Mr. Simpson has had from English and Irish capitalists for particulars of estates at present advertised, and having already received an offer for the Estate in the county of Donegal, advertised for sale by auction, (consisting of 4,100 acres) of within 6001. of the sum which would be accepted, confirms the correctness of the foregoing conclusions. The above observations apply also to mortgages, and Mr. Simp son has Inge sums ready to be advanced on approved security. Bucklersbury, August, 1846. GOLDEN F LAX.

In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of hnman 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 insLsted upon that we should know the simple principles of our owu organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their se7eral 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.

LONDON' THE LAKES.—During the last few days the influx of tourists to the Cumberland and Westmoreland lakes has beea so great that the hotel-keepers have been obliged to turn away numerous parties to look out for acoommodation else where. This circumstance is attributed to th e f ac ul ty afforded by railway travelling. MILITARY AND NAVAL FLOGGING.--On Friday after noon a large and crowded meeting of the inhabitants of the town of Hounslow and its vicinity, convened by public notice, was held in the Lecture-room, at the Nag's Head Inn, In that town, " to adopt resolutions expressive of its opinion on the subject of military and naval flogging, and to petition Parliament for the total abolition thereof." After a lengthened discussion the following for m of p o th Um was agreed on :—" To the Hon. the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled, — The humble petition of the inhabitants of Hounslow and its vicinity, in public meeting assembled, humbly showetb, that your petitioners, being deeply convinced of the great importance to this empire of the army and navy for its peace, order, and protection, and that what ever lowers the self-esteem or alienates the patriotism of the soldier or sailor tends to weaken our defence and perils our safety, your pe titioners are grieved to find that the barbarous practice of flogging is stilt maintained as a mode of punishment ; your petitioners, more over, being fully assured that a mode of punishment so unmanly, brutal, and un-Christian, insulting to our common humanity, and so alien to our religion and our age, does exasperate and degrade, but never can amend the offenders ; we therefore humbly beseech your Hon. House immediately to abolish the degrading and disgusting practice of flogging in the army and navy." RAILWAY ACCIDENT--An accident, which might have been attended with the most serious consequences, befel the evening train on the London and Gloucester Railway on Monday last. A passenger, in a second-class carriage, on leaving the Swindon station, thought he perceived something wrong in the motion of the car riages, but failed in attracting the attention of the conductor to it. The train had not proceeded far, when, to his infinite dismay, he saw the floor of the carriage on fire, and the flame bursting up between his feet. The united cries of the horror-stricken passengers at length succeeded in stopping the train, when they were rescued from their perilous situation, and made their escape down a steep embankment. On the flame being extinguished the train proceeded et 4 414 W paw tg pe nag igtits, van pc Rawl 194 1100Szet1y TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—ln the course of the last ten years ieveral events have occurred which have brought this country to the verge of war—events equally unprovoked and unforeseen, but which the most anxious desire for peace on the part of England has failed to prevent. In most of these cases, war has been avoided either by concessions carried to the utmost limit, or by accepting a very inadequate reparation for wrongs inflicted. The unprepared state of England rendered any sacri fice preferable to war, for steam, as a new element of warfare, has wrought a complete revolution, by depriv ing her of at least one-half the security hitherto afforded by her insular situation. There can be no question that the means of defence to be derived from steam fleets bears no proportion to the advantages which in a much greater degree it gives to attack; but while France cultivates this arm with startling energy, and maintains, under the " Inscription Maritime," her whole seafaring population available for the fleet en the instant, England has entirely failed to realise the change in her own position, and to take those measures which a large steam navy, 100,000 sea men, and 40,000 regular troops, across the water, have rendered indispensable to her security. With the exception of the part between the Thames and the Land's-end, the whole coasts of England, Ire land, and Scotland, lie completely bare to the attack of an enemy; and of hundred of port., containing mil lions of property, not ten are capable of defence against five steam-fiigates with as many thousan , troops on board. The very notion of preventin force from the ports of France an is ridiculous, and our ports must henceforward be pro tected by works capable of repelling such attacks, and an efficient land force, in addition to our wooden walls. But, during the period mentioned, not only has the navy been the only means of defence, but it has been in general reduced to the lowest possible amount, and all attempts to increase it to meet occasional emergencies have proved wholly impracticable. In 1839 40, when seven or eight line-of-battle ships were added to the force, not one was manned within five months, and more than a year elapsed before all were ready fur service. Thus, instead of a proof of preparation and efficiency calculated to prevent hostilities, a deplorable spectacle of weakness was exhibited, offering the most powerful inducements to aggression. The prestige with which the name of England was invested afforded the best security for the peace of the world ; but she has suffered this gradually to decline ; and a peace policy that consists in neglecting the means of defence—in conceding every thing and enduring everything—must eventually cause the evil it weakly endeavours to avert, and render it, when it does occur, in the last degree disastrous. The political horizon is at present without a cloud, and this breathing time will be well employed in con sidering the events of the past ten years in connexion with the preparation of the country for defence, and as a means of snaking a better preparation for the future. I propose to confine my observations to a branch of the subject of inestimable importance—" The means of manning the fleet"—a point in which we have hitherto been utterly deficient, unless by means of impressment. While most people believe that this method would fail to supply our need in time, every one will agree that to resort to it would be in the last degree disgraceful, see ing that during thirty years' peace a proper organisation of resources would have rendered a recurrence to such a system of injustice and cruelty wholly unnecessary. The tyrant plea " necessity " can never be allowed where the necessity is distinctly caused by a wilful and obstinate refusal to adopt other adequate and effective measures for securing the ends desired. Of the 40,000 men now voted for the service of the navy, nearly one-half are comprised under the heads o officers, marines, artificers, servants, and boys, leaving only about 20,000 seamen and landsmen. The whole number of merchant seamen falls but little short of 400,000, and yet when a small increase for the navy is required, no volunteers can be obtained. The navy is manned by men who entered as boys, and have become attached to it—by seamen who alternate between the two employments and by landsmen. The great mass of merchant seamen regard the royal service with the greatest dislike, and may be said on the whole to form a distinct class from those who man her Majesty's fleet. Here is, indeed, an anomaly in the utmost degree as tonishing and alarming ; the mere statement of the fact is enough to create on the part of every Englishman the most anxious desire for an explanation and a remedy, but the more it is inquired into, the more true will it bo found. I, however, am clearly of opinion that at a trifling ex pense, and without the slightest diminution of the powers necessary for the preservation of discipline, but by means of a complete remodelling of our system, the navy may bo made in the highest degreepopular, and from an object of dislike may be in a short time rendered one of general desire and competition to merchant seamen. This expectation may appear too sanguine, but it is to be remembered that one-half of our merchant seamen have never even seen a man-of-war, and that all take their notions either from the traditions of the last war, or from deserters, who are not likely to trace their offence to their own misconduct. Moreover, the men who man the fleet, for the most part, continue to serve in it by repeated re-entries, after the termination of each period of three years, and this although in the merchant service an able seaman receives 21. ss. a month, and in the navy only 11. 14s. The treatment endured in the last war is undoubtedly a prominent cause of this alienation, which is kept alive by the conviction that a similar course will be again pursued, for seamen are well aware that impressment has been relied on by every successive Government as the sole means of meeting any emergency. However painful it may be to open this sad page of our history, it is necessary that it should be well considered, in order that the future may be free from the same blot. The practice was entirely destitute of the direct sanction of the laws, and was carried into effect with every mark of lawless violence. The community at tached the badge of slavery to a small but clearly dis tinguishable section, and tearing them from a state of security and high pay, compelled them to defend the country on wages a third part of what they were before enjoying. Thus were tens of thousands of seamen thrust on board ships of war, and without a moment's notice severed from their wives and families to serve for a long course of years, without once visiting their homes, and kept under by an iron discipline, rendered indispensable by a system so unjustifiable. During a war of long continuance, in which, for a time, the very existence of England trembled in the balance, these men served her with the most devoted and un conquerable spirit, and, lavish of life and limb, won for her imperishable glory, and under Providence, secured to her those blessings which have been so bountifully showered upon her. But if the war was brought to a triumphant issue by men raised by a system so oppressive and unjust, the advent of peace was marked by a cruel disregard of the welfare of men on whom their country had inflicted so much, and to whom sho owed all. the egress of such a At the peace of Amiens (1802) the fleet was reduced, at one 101 l swoop, from 130,000 to 70,000, 60,000 men being thus turned adrift to beg or starve, for that such a multitude should suddenly find employment was out of the question. The same course was afterwards pursued. In 1814 the fleet was reduced from 140,000 to 90,000, and in the beginning of 1816 from 90,000 to 33,000—thus throw ing, in the first instance, 50,000, and in the other 57,000 men into the labour market without the slightest means or prospect of subsistence. What a catalogue of human suffering is contained in these few words! Let us be slow to blame our seamen for any want of patriotic at tachment, let the country rather blush for the past, and no longer delay to organise measures for meeting the hour of trial without a repetition of such injustice and ingratitude. Lest 1802, 1814, and 1816, should be forgotten, the same thing was repeated on a small scale in 1841, when 3,000 or 4,000 men were suddenly paid off before the period for which they entered was completed, and when no employment could be obtained in the merchant ser vice. Those bitfrr months passed in a state of destitu tion, aggravated by the idea that faith had been broken with them, have not been without their effects in strengthening those prejudices which it is so essential to combat. But it seems that in dealing with our seamen every principle of equity and of sound policy is to be alike subservient to the narrowest and most sordid motives of economy. Havint , alluded to the influence of the past in account ing for the alienation of the great mass of cur seamen, I shall take an early opportunity of entering upon the present causes, both in the merchant service and in the Royal Navy, which tend to the same result. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A CAPTAIN IN THE ROYAL NAVY. July 24. On Tuesday last a schooner, called the Maid of Erin, put into Ramsgate harbour with the remains of her late commander, who died raving mad. The crew had been compelled to secure him for their own preservation. His name was Gwelch. His crew gave him the character of being a kind and quiet man when not intoxicated.—Kentish Observer. A fire broke out on the 12th ult. in the town of ➢lenemen, three leagues from Smyrna, and destroyed 600 shops in the bazaar. Twenty Turkish houses, two mosques, and a public bath, were also destroyed. A quantity of gun powder blew up during the fire, but it doe. not.appear that any lives were lost. OXFORD, THURSDAY.—There is a report that George Jelf, Esq., barrister-at-law, has acceded to the wishes of the Tory electors, and will be put in nomination to succeed Mr. Donald Maclean in the representation of this city, as soon as the resignation of the latter arrives and a writ can be pro cured. The Liberal party are al .2.0 on the alert, and as the registration is highly favourable little doubt exists of the issue. A meeting of the Whig party will take place to-night at the Wheatsheaf Inn, and measures for securing the seat to a Liberal will be resolved on. It is said that Mr. Jelf has taken an active part in defeating the of ortsof the inhabitants of this city to form a General Cemetery for all classes, by using the influence he possesses as secretary to the Church Building Society, which has lent its aid to a rival scheme of rarochid burial-grounds. his connexion also with the University is an additional ground of objection, and will con tribute to secure his defeat, Should he be induced• tO 17 a lers minority, 2,283 11,265 1,233 1,172 616 6,545 " itehl, Auust 3. " Sir,—l reque s t th a t you w il l convey h to the inhabitant of the borough of Southwark, who were parties to the address which you placed in my bands, my grateful acknowledg ments for the sentiments to which they have given expression in that address " If I have. borne with equanimity the vituperation by which I have been assailed, it was because I was supported by the consciousness that in the course which I was pursuing I bad no private interest to serve, no object of political am bition to promote; but that I was discharging an imperative duty, which, by undertaking the responsibility of a Minister, I had contracted towards the Queen and the country. "It is gratifying to me, on personal grounds to receive the assurance fro m suc h a b o d y as that from which this ad dress proceeds, that ample justice is done to the motives by which I have been influenced, and that the measures which have received the sanction of Parliament meet with their cordial approbation. "It is 'gratifying to me, also, on public grounds, because it is right that those who are charged with the high trust of averting impending danger from the state, and consulting its permanent interests, should be encouraged toperform their duty - by the conviction that the resolute and faithful dis charge of it will be duly appreciated by a large and intelli gent portion of their fellow-countrymen.

EXCLUSIVE TRADING (IRELAND) BILL. . _ This Bill was also read a third time and passed. DUTIES ON RYE, PEAS, AND BEANS. Mr. C. VILLIERS moved the consideration of the peti tion of Robert Mettle Gillies and George Home, respecting the duties on rye, peas, and beans. They set forth that the Corn Bill assimilated the duty on these articles to that charged on ,the importation of barley. The consequence was, that great hardship was inflicted on the dealers of those articles, because, when barley was high in price, rye, peas, and beans were invariably dear. From May to August malt was not much in demand, whilst the demand for other articles of grain was great. Now he apprehended that this was a mistake, and that it would be rectified by a Treasury order. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER considered that the late Government intended that the measure should work in the way pointed out by the Hon. Member, and could not consent to abrogate it by a Treasury order. OFFICES THE HuUSE. The CHANCELLOR of OF the EXCHEQUER also obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend an Act of the fifty-second year of his late Majesty King George the Third, relating to the offices of the House of Commons. PUBLIC WORKS IRELAND). The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER also obtained leave to introduce a Bill to extend and consolidate the powers hitherto exercised by the Commissioners of Pablic Works in Ireland, and to appoint additional Commis sioners. NAVAL AND MILITARY DEPARTMENTS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved for leave to bring in a Bill to provide for the preparation, audit, and presentation to Parliament of annual amounts of the receipt and expenditure of the Naval and Military De partments. • The Bills were then read a first time; to be read a second time on Tuesday. Mr. OSBORNE brought forward the following motions, which were agreed to : That the Dublin Paving Board Returns be printed. That the Dublin Wide Street Returns be made forthwith, and printed. Return showing the gross and net amounts of Irish Quit and Crown Rents, as received and applied by the Com missioners of Woods and Forests in each year, from the year 1800 until the year 1845, both inclusive. WORKS AND FISHERIES. Mr. PARKER obtained leave to introduce a Bill to em. power the Commissioners for the issue of Loans for Public Works and Fisheries to make loans in money to the Com missioners of her Majesty's Woods in lieu of loans heretofore authorised to be made in Exchequer-bills. The House then adjourned at Half-past One. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (SATURDAY). HOUSE OF LORDS. Room B. LIVERPOOL, ortreisßaßß, AND PRESTON. Mr. Andrews, silk manufacturer, of Ormski r k, was ex amined by Mr. BRANDT, with a view of showing the accom modation to be afforded by this line. Mr. Blundell, surgeon, of Southport, stated that as many as 24,000 or 25,000 persons visited Southport during the summer, for the purpose of bathing. Mr. IL Lewis, one of the Commissioners appointed under an Act of Parliament for the purpose ofimproving Southport, considered that a railway communicating Southport with Ormskirk was desirable for the interest of the former town. Mr. R. Harkness, draper, of Ormskirk, thought the pro posed line between Ormskirk and Southport desirable. Mr. E. Rigby was connected with the coal-fields of Skel mersdale, and thought the proposed line would be beneficial to the interests of that district. Lieutenant Kellock, R.N, considered that the present scheme embraced everything of a beneficial nature that was included in the rival scheme. He thought that the pier pro posed by the rejected line at Southport could not be bene ficially carried out. Mr. Blair, traffic computist, gave evidence of the details of the traffic between Southport and Ormskirk. The Bishop of DuntrAm, to the witness—What is your oc cupation, Mr. Blair? Witness—l am a traffic statist. Mr. MERREWETHER—I think it should be traffic creatist. - Mr. Smith, of Deanton, was the next witness examined in favour of this line. Ills evidence went to show that the pro posed line would do very little residential injury.

The steepest gradient upon the main line was 1 in 150, and on the dock branch it was I in 100. There were no curves of a less radius than half a mile. The estimates were amply sufficient for the construction of all the necessary works. Cross-examined by Mr. MERaEWETHER—Did not know a case in which a railway seven miles in length had been con structed in the face of hostile parties. At this stage of the proceedings the Committee intimated their opinion that the line between Ormskirk and Southport should not be constructed.. Mr. AUSTIN accordingly withdrew that portion of the line, and the Committee, without hearing further evidence, de clared the preamble of the Bill to be proved, with the excep tion, however, of the Southport and Ormskirk branch. Mr. Lowe, C.E. engineer to the line, was then examined— The total length of the line was six miles five chains. The estimates were— For Land £110,102 For Works For Stations 30,000 Contingencies ••• 28,218 Total estimate — £450,503 There were two tunnels upon the line, one of 1,020, and :he other 140 yards in length.

Mr. Bennett, of Manchester, gave evidence of a favourable nature as regards this line. Mr. Carr, from Newton, and Mr. Barnes, machine-maker of Oldham, gave similar evidence. A correspondent of the Liverpool Albion says that Sir Thomas Wilde, on his elevation to the bench, returned the fees which he had received in causes yet untried, " a departure from precedent," he adds, "even more heterodox than his refusal to accept any in the case of Connell and the age traYeaere." STEAM 'NAVIGATION BILL. Mr. WARREN gave notice that, in consequence of the Bill not being printed, he should move the third reading on Tuesday. Lord MORPETII said, that as it was the intention of Go vernment to bring forward a very extensive and compre hensive measure on this subject, he should move that the order of the day for the second reading of the Bills for the ' Sites of Dwellings, Nos. 1 and 2, should be discharged. CONTAGIOUS DISEASES. The Bill for the prevention of Contagious Diseases was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. REPORTS. The reports on the Deodands Abolition Bill (No. 2.), the Death by Accidents Compensation Bill, Forms (Assessed) Taxes Bill, were severally brought up and received, and the Bills were ordered to be engrossed. PUBLIC WORKS (IRELAND) BILL. On the order of the day being read for the House going into Committee on this Bill, Mr. OSBORNE complained that he could get no reply to the several questions which he had asked respecting the Irish Bills. Ile thought the better plan would be to leave all those Bills till next session. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, that if the Hon. Gen tleman would ask a question respecting any Bill on the paper for to-day, he should receive a detailed answer. He had got a detailed answer last night on the the respect ing which he inquired. Mr. OSBORNE—No answer at all. Lord JOHN RUSSELL would correct himself; the Mem ber who should have given him an answer was not in the House at the time the inquiry was made. But he might observe that the course which the Government intended to pursue was, to pass those Irish Bills, with the exception of the Arms Bill, for the second reading of which he had voted, for a temporary period, so as to enable them to make large amendments next session. Sir R. FERGUSON entreated the Government to recon sider the matter, for he saw no reason whatever fly A Public ' of this Bill, _ _ iird reading Sir J. R.

A meeting 'a the shareholders in the killen Company took place on Saturda for the purposes of determining wheth , take advantage of the powers of an titled the Railways Dissolution Act. The chair was taken by Sir tohn ctinpbell. The SECRETARY having re d the advertisement convening the meeting, scrutineers were appointed. The report stated that it would be useless to .persevere with the undertaking, although the line was essentially a good one, in consequence of the altered state of the money market, and in consequence of the Company having lost their Bill in Parliament on purely technical grounds. The directors had expended the funds of the Company in a most economical manner, and they were now able to come:before the shareholders, and to make a return of 4/. out of every 51. paid on the deposits. The utmost unanimity prevailed at the meeting, and it was resolved that the Company should dissolve, and that its dissolution should not be taken as an act of bankruptcy. The meeting then adjourned. PETERBOROUGH AND, NOTTING HAM RAILWAY. An adjourned meeting of the shareholders in this under taking from Monday last, to consider of and determine on, a dissolution of the Company, was held on Saturday at the London Tavern, at one o'clock. Lord T. P. CLINTON took the chair, and called on the Se cretary to read the minutes of that meeting. The SECRSTARY then read a statement of the accounts, which gave the gross receipts at 17,3871., and expenditure, 12,6461., leaving a balance of 4,7411., to which is to be added securities on bills, 1,8621., and about 4,000/. deposits still un paid and expected. The whole divisible surplus will be about 10,0004, being about 1/. 2s. a share to be returned. Mr. FRIPP wished to know whether the directors had ceased the expenditure as soon as the failure of the Company was seen ? Mr. GRIDLEY, solicitor to the Company, said that it was about the end of January when the directors found that the Company was in difficulties, through allottees not paying upon their shares. In November the plans were deposited, and between that and December the notices were served. Everything was done up to the time when the deposit ought to have been paid into the accountant-general, preliminary to the Company going before Parliament ; and In consequence of that alone the directors had been able to resist successfully an action which had been raised at Lincoln by a shareholder, on the ground that they had failed in their part of the contract. The directors, in • deed, had spent their own money in order to put the undertaking in a position to go before Parliament, and thus secure the interests of the shareholders, and they were in hopes up to the last moment of being le to amalgamate with another company. Mr. FRIPP said he was perfectly satisfied with the honour able way in which the directors had acted. The motion for dissolution made at the last meeting was again put before those present, and the voting was proceeded with. The CHAIRMAN then declared the votes to be to-day 715 in favour of dissolution without bankruptcy. The number of votes recorded at the former meeting was 1,830, all in favour of dissolution, 30 for a dissolution with bankruptcy, being altogether 420 votes more than were required by the Act of Parliament. A vote of thanks to the Chairman and the Committee of Management was then passed unanimously, and the meeting adjourned. RAILWAY RETURNS.
