This huge volume, the forty-eighth edition of the work, well sus tains the reputation enjoyed by the "Directory" of late years. In the preface, the proprietor maintains that the high character of the work is not referable to its mere connexion with the Post Office ; for an important change has been gradually introduced into the manner of collecting the information ; and a larger portion of the work than heretofore has been confided to selected agents entirely unconnected with the Post mice; this being in great part the plan of compiling the editions for 1845 and 1846. Nor has the proprietor rested content with his past • success, but has introduced many im portant alterations in this volume for 1847, and added to its bulk without any increase in Trice. The," Postal Directory" is especially improved, and there are numerous changes throughout the volume to insure its completeness. The compilation must be a vast labour, to be accomplished only by systematic subdivision and the most pains taking minuteness. The appearance of the volume has suggested a very lively effusion, to be seen in another column ; and we trust the enterprising proprietor of the "Directory" will find that his labours are duly appreciated and remunerated. To a great commercial coun try this is an indispensable volume. RATLWAY HERALD, Nov. 21, 1846. The new volume of the Post Office Directory for 1847 Is already in osr hands, and we can only express our wonder that a work so laborious, extensive, and minute, could be in any degree improved. It would have been a sufficient merit to have maintained its former reputation, it is 'a great merit to have surpassed itself. The produc tion of a work unequalled for accuracy and for clearness has placed in the hands of the commercial public a most valuable and indispensable aid in carrying on the business of this vast metropolis, which would indeed be subjected to the greatest inconvenience and expense if it were not for a work of this kind. in a short time our readers will have the opportunity of judging for themselves on purchasing the new volume, whether our anticipatory notice is in any degree exaggerated. BRITANNIA, Nov. 21, 1846. The French people have done themselves credit by their industrial expositions. But If must be acknowledged that, though ingenims and pretty, they appear quite insignificant compared with the indus trial exposition presented to the mind by this mighty volume. Keep. ing pace with the advancing trade and population of London, it still Increases in bulk; and, keeping pace with the movement of society in a more important particular, it vigilontly seizes every opportunity of improvement to insure more perfect accuracy and more complete classification. We find in this volume many instances of superiority to former issues, which, though comparatively trifling, show the in telligence and care exercised over every department. It may be men tioned that by the employment of private agents, the changes of re sidence are now brought down to a later period than formerly, and the value of the " Directory" is consequently enhanced. We have before spoken of it as Indispensable to the proper management of business. Its authority is now so universally established, both at the Post-office and throughout the metropolis, that any further recom mendation of it is superfluous. HERAPATH'S RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 21, 1846. The " Post-office Directory" for 1847 appears with additions and Improvements upon its valuable predecessor, but with no enlarge ment in the price. The continued enterprising spirit with v4hich this important, and it is not a misapplication of terms to say, national work is conducted, merits the highest commendation, We know not whether the same illiberal and unjustifiable attempt will be made in the ensuing session as was done in the last, to wrest it from the hands of the present proprietary, and to place it by the force of might over right in the hands of Government ; but, should it be attempted, surely the following statement of its conductors will go home to the consciences, if they have any, of the parties seeking to draw down the grasping interference of Government :—" It can only be neces sary to refer to a copy of the work published before the purchase of the copyright by its present proprietor, to be convinced that the mere connexion of the Directory' with the Post-office has little, if at all, contributed to its present high character. That the improvements (the result of many years of unwearied toil and application on the part of those engaged in the compilation of the work) are duly appre ciated is now happily beyond all question ; prior to the ' Directory' passing to its present proprietor, rival books contended successfully with this —they have disappeared." NOTICE TO HOLDERS OF POLICIES IN THE EQUITABLE ASSURANCE COMPANY OF LONDON. NITED KINGDOM. LIFE ASSURANCE lJ COMPANY, No. 8, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, London. The attention of Holders of Policies in the Equitable Assurance Company of London, is particularly called to the Ralf-credit Scales of Premium of this Company, by which table the bonus to be de clared at the next investigation of the Equitable Assurance Com pany's affairs, in January, 1850, may be secured at a present annual payment of one-half the rates generally charged by other compa nies. In the event of death the sum insured will be paid, after deduc tion of the other half of the rates. Should the life insured survive the declaration of the bonus, the policy may be allowed to lapse, and the Company will renounce all claim for the half premiums which may be due thereon ; or in the event of the party being at that time in bad health, the policy can be kept up at the full premium of the age as when first accepted. The above plan, originating with this Com pany, was found peculiarly advantageous at the last division of profits in the Equitable Assurance Company, in 1848, when it was largely adopted, and many of the policies then effected are still in force, and large bonuses have been added to them on the scale of the fol lowing table : Sum Assured.

James Henry Attwood, Esq. The Provisional Directors feeling assured that they can secure, by renewed application to Parliament, the important and national object which this railroad, Company originally contemplated, think it expedient, and purpose in the ensuing session of Parliament to seek for power to obtain a line from Killarney to yalentia, and for no other part of the original line, and thus by the construction of 40 miles of railway in connexion with lines granted during the past session of Parliament, to secure all the advantages set forth in their original prospectus. This shortened line will necessarily reduce the capital of the Com pany, and the Directors, under the powers granted to them by the subscribers' agreement, reduce the 251. share to a 101. share, and thus materially lessen the liability of the shareholders. The shareholders are hereby informed, that, for the purpose of prosecuting the above object, and under powers given to the pro visional Directors of this Company by the Deed of Settlement or Subscribers' Agreement, they retain the moneys remaining in their hands or at that of the bankers, if any such should remain, after pay ment of expenses incurred in prosecuting the undertaking ; and in pursuance of the covenants therein contained, a Call is hereby made, and the Provisional Directors hereby require the shareholders to pay the sum of ss. per share, to be paid by them into.the hands of one of the bankers of this Company, whose names and addresses are given below, on account of the Provisional Directors, on or before Mon day, the 14th day of December instant, for the purpose of makin and completing the necessary preliminury Parliamentary deposits, and defraying such further costs and charges as may he incurred in the prosecution of the measures contemplated by the said Directorl.

At a Meeting of Magistrates. Clergy, Gentry, and Cess-payers of the barony of Iveragh, county of Kerry, assembled in Baronial Sesssions at Caherciveen, on the 10th of tkrevember, 1816, for the purpose of apph ing to Government for assistance to carry out such remunerative and reproductive works as are best calculated to relieve the present distress, and provide for the future employment of the people, and develope the resources of the country, it was resolved : The Court of, Baronial Sessions assembled in Caherciveen. on MONDAY, the 9th of November, wish very respectfully to represent once more to his Excellency, the great expense, inconvenience, delay, and alarm, caused by the erroneous and perverse system of making the harbours in the west of Ireland dependent on eastern ports and channel navigation. for their supplies of Government stores and pro visions. That not only is great waste of public money incurred thereby, but from the character of coast intervening, and the obstacle of contrary winds, supplies have frequently been delayed, In a manner to excite alann and risk famine. It cannot well be understood why supplies for the Commissariat shall not be made direct to Valentia, exempting the Government from the cost of double freight and transhipment, an ex pense ascertained to amount in fuel alone, by steamers, to 21. per ton, which in itself would make a difference in price calculated to afford great relief. To Valentia in particular, which happens to be the nearest harbour to America, and the best in the empire, the saving of time and cost would be considerable —along a great extent of coast—were a depotvessel like the Madagascar at Tarbert, or the Dee steamer,'moored in this harbour, receiving its supplies direct from New York, in Twelve or fourteen days, or by steam in seven. The Court of Baronial Sessions, therefore, most respectfully submit to your Excellency, the pressing expediency of stationing in Va lentia Harbour a depot vessel receiving her supplies direct from America. That we hail with satisfaction the announcement made by the Di rectors of the Wexford and Valentia Railway Company, that they are about to take the necessary steps for coming before Parliament in the nsuing session. That we rejoice especially that the Directors have decided to aban don such parts of their original project as would involve them in ex pensive conflicts with existing Railway Commissioners, and to apply only for a line from Killarney to Valentia, with a branch to Tralee, by which judicious course they will curtail their expenditure, avoid all risk of opposition from rival companies, and be enabled, at a very moderate cost, by joining the terminus of the Killarney Junction, to complete the chain of communication between the county and the metropolis. That, in addition to that advantage and to the benefit which will be derived (by the Tralee branch) from connecting this barony with our county town, (as there is no doubt, especially since the report of Mr. Walker, the Admiralty engineer, that Valentia Harbour must eventually become the American packet-station), the completion of the Killarney and Valentia Railway will secure the immediate ac complishment of that event, and to this county the immense advan tage of becoming the thoroughfare from England and the whole of the continent of Europe to the western world. That deeply sensible how indebted this county, and especially the barony of Iveragh, is to Mr. Attwood and other enlightened English capitalists, who, though unconnected with this country, have from their conviction of the national importance of the object projected this valuable boon for Ireland, we much regret that this all-im portant project did net during the last session of Parliament advance so far through the required stages as to place it in the category of railways for which a baronial presentment may be made ; but we most earnestly and respectfully pray his Excellency the Lord Lieu tenant of Ireland to endeavour to obtain from Government a grant of money in aid of the line proposed from Killarney to Valentia. That we urge this not only in order to prevent the rejection of a remunerative and reproductive work which will afford employment to the population of a district more than most needing such employ ment, and which must for the next three years have to struggle through severe agricultural distress and difficulties ; but because we consider that the completion of the Killarney and Valentia Railway will produce national consequences of the highest value—from the aug mentation it will affect in the Post-office revenue—the improvement it will cause in the communications with our North American and West :Indian Colonies, bath for Government and commercial pur poses—the development it will give to internal traffic and the mar kets of labour and of agricultural produce, and that it will prove in Its results the most important step ever achieved by private enter prise for the advancement of this portion of the British empire, and for the industrial prosperity of Ireland. The above resolution, proposed by James Butler, Esq., D.L., seconded by James Hickson, Esq., D.L..being unanimously adopted, The meeting requested that Maurice O'Connell, Esq., M.P., would take advantage of tile presence in Dublin of Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P., to request his powerful advocacy with his Excellency the Lord- Lieutenant in behalf of the prayers of the resolutions.

This: annual exhibition of prize cattle, under the auspices of the Smithfield Club, opened this day at the Horse Bazaar, King-street, Portman-square. The pri vate view took place last evening, immediately after the Judges had completed their award, an office which, we may remark, has been one of extreme difficulty, this year, owing to the general excellence of the stock sent in for competition. _ _ The exhibition, altogether, displays a marked improve ment over any which have preceded it for some time past. If the animals generally do not present the same gigantic frames, clothed in unwieldy masses of fat, which on some occasions heretofore have met our vies•, there is a decided and very evident improvement in the general breeding of the stock. The symmetry of some of the oxen, notwithstanding their enormous weight, is really marvellous, and we have seld')m ' had occasion to remark the admission of fewer animals of second-rate pretensions. Class 1. (which it may be well to inform our non agricultural readers is not the highest class in point of merit in the exhibition) is perhaps somewhat inferior this year to the same class on some former occasions. Class 11. (the highest class in point of merit) boasts a finer collection of animals than have been brought to gether in the same division for some years, Class 111. is good ; Class VI. (the revived class for Scotch cattle) equally satisfactory ; and Class VII. in point of excel lence has not been exceeded in any previous exhibition. The sheep classes are very good ; and the pigs are of average merit, but without calling fur particular re mark. It will be seen from the subjoined list of awards that the Prince Consort has obtained a full share of the Judges' approbation this year. His Royal Highness takes the second prize in Class 11., the first prize in Chss III.; in Class VI. a Highland Scot, fed by the Prince, is commended ; a Scot and Durham heifer, ex cluded from its class by overweight, and placed among the extra stock, obtains a silver medal ; and a pen of three Bedfordshire pigs, bred and fed by his Royal Highness, obtain the second prize of 51. in Class XVIII. The Earl of Warwick takes the first prize of 301., with a gold medal, as the best ox, and a silver medal to the breeder, for his Lordship's 5 years and 17 days old Hereford ox, bred by Mr. John Thomas, of Cholstry, near Leominster. Mr. John Booth, of Killerby, near Catterick, York shire, receives the first prize of 151., with a gold medal, as the best cow, and a silver medal to the breeder for his 9 years and 10 months old short-horned cow, bred by himself. Mr. John Painter, of Burley, near Oakham, takes the first prize of 20L, with a gold medal, as the best long woolled sheep, and a silver medal to the breeder for his pen of three 21 months old Leicester wethers, bred by Mr. Robert Smith, of Burley. Mr. Samuel Webb, of Babraham, takes the first prize of 20/., with a gold medal, as the best short-woolled sheep, and a silver medal to the breeder, for his pen of three 20 months old Southdown wethers, bred by himself. The Earl of Radnor receives the first prize of 101., with a gold medal, as the best pigs, and a silver medal to the breeder, for his pen of three 45 weeks and 1 day old Coleshill pigs bred by his Lordship. • Among the other successful competitors will be found many names well known in the agricultural world. The Duke of Richmond and Mr. Webb, as usual, take a large share of the prizes in the sheep classes. The Marquis of Exeter, Sir Charles Wake, Bart., Lord Southampton, the Earl of Leicester, Sir George Phil lips, Bart., Lord Portman, Mr. J. S. Burgess, Mr. M. Twitchell, Mr. David Barclay, M.P., Mr. Goodlake, and the Earl of Radnor, have also found favour with the judges in the present exhibition.

(Testimonial after one Winter's trial.) " St. John's, Fulham, May 2, 1846. "My dear Sir,—l have very 'great pleasure in giving my public testimony to the efficiency of your stove, as combining the double advantage of thoroughly warming and constantly ventilating any large church or building. Your invention appeared to me to be in theory all that could be desired, and I can honestly say that I have not yet discovered the point in which the practice falls short of the theory. " The area of my church is computed to be nearly 200,000 cubical feet, and, though a second stove will be required, the one already erected has fully answered my highest expectations, and realised all that you-have given me to expect. If confirmation wore needed for evidence of its efficiency, I might further state that I had peculiar difficulties to contend with—that various attempts had been made, and that every attempt hail proved a signal failure—that I was ex posed to the charge of boldness in attempting what had baffled others ; but that such is the power, the efficiency, and the comfort communicated by your stove, that I know not of a dissentient voice, and have heard only of approval with unanimous consent. "I might add, that I was first led to the making inquiry respect ng your stove having gathered indirectly that a disposition, not un favourable towards it, was entertained in a certain high quarter, where, on account of ability of discernment, the smallest approach to approval must carry with it great weight.

F. FERGUSON CAMROUX, Secreari• A SONG TO OLD CHRISTMAS. Hail, hall, merry Sire ! Thy 'seasons inspire The hearth of the young and the old ; My breast seems to burn when I see thy return, Though the month of December is cold. Come, come, and make glad the hearts that are sad, And tell us of homely delights ; Come and cheer Wry place with thy bonny red face, And thoroughly set us to rights. Thy approach will we meet with a jolly good treat, And many." tough yarns" will be spun, With ale, wine, and grog, and a bright burning log, Ani with dresses from MOSES and SON. I always remember, in cheerful December, E. MOSES and SON'S noted Mart; When I purchase attire; to hail the glad Sire, Whose holidays need something smart. Ev'ry one should bo deck'd, if they've any respect For old Father Christmas's cheer; Then hasten and start for MOSES'S Mart, Where the best Winter dresses appear. As the season is cold, warm garments are sold, Unequall'd in Winter attire ; Whose price is so low, that all folks may show Their respect to the hearty old Sire. LIST OF PRICES.

Viscount Palmerston, M.P., her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and the other Right Hon. Members of her Majesty' Government:— The memorial of the Committee of "The Society for the Promomtion of Permanent and Universal Peace," sheweth, That your memori a li s t s h ave re ad, from time to time , the acco un t s o f aggress i ons made upon the independence of the Geor g i an an d S oc i ety Islands, by the autho rities of France, with great and serious concer n. That your memoriali s ti deeplydeplore the conse quences of those ag gress i ons, especially as seen in their demoralising influence upon a population who were but just escapin g , through the efforts of British Chris trians, from the darkness, "Cruelty, and crime, which ever characterise Pagan countries—in the restrictions which have been placed upon the personal and religious liberties of British subjects, and chiefly of teachers of Christianity sent out from this: country —in the fearful loss of human life which has followed, and the probability which there appears to be of a war of extermination against the native inhabitants, whose Queen has been banished, and whose property is being destroyed --as well as in the danger which must exist whilst these circumstances continue of some misunderstanding arising between the British and French Governments, by which the present peaceful re lations of these two great empires towards each other might be disturbed—a result to be deprecated by every benevolent and Christian mind almost beyond any other that could arise. Your Memorialists do therefore earnestly pray that every moral and pacific means which her Majesty's Government can employ, with a view to terminate the horrors of this unequal conflict, may be at ;once and vigorously used ; and that her Majesty's Government will especially seek to obtain, by firm, but peaceful means, the acknowledgment on the part of the French Government of the full and entire independence of the Society Islands, and that if the Queen of Otaheite may not be permitted to re turn to her rightful dominions, such of her subjects as may be inclined to do so have full liberty to leave the island, and settle themselves elsewhere, where they shall not be required to acknowledge the authority of French si Signed, t your ; on rule, which it appears a very large proportion of them are unwilling do.

A mysterious murder took place on the night of the 27th ult., at Albi (Tarn). Tivo young gi r l s o f b a d that their character occupied a rez-de-chaussee in the quarter de perc e i ve d s th hu e t 2B a t t h, th i r t e b e ei o ng etoe k in the day, the neighbours conceived suspicions that all was not right, and at last bursting open the door, discovered one of the girls lying on the floor with her throat cut across. In S w t. in A do ff w ri s e. we O re n the next room lay the other girl in precisely the same state. Both were undressed and wrapped up in the bed clothes, ou t of the bed. Some Dim), e_ was found in their drawers, and none of their clothes appeared to have been taken away. The mark of a bl oo d y han d was perce ptible on the chemise of one of them. The greatest agitation was immediately caused in the town by the dis covery cf this double crime. Two commercial travellers at once came forward and declared that they had visited the girls the evening before, but had left them all safe at about ten o'clock. The lodgers in the first floor deposed to having heard them singing and laughing as late as twelve o'clock. nothing whatever has as yet been brought to light to lead to the discovery of the perpe trators of this murder. Some persons have alluded to the fact that a robbery of jewels had taken place in the town a few nights before, in which, it was said, three men and two women were engaged; and they ask, might not the deceased have been the females so engaged, and might not the men have murdered them to prevent de tection? All, however, is mere conjecture. A butcher, who was known to be intimate with the two girls, has been arrested.— Galignani, 'We are sorry to learn that Mr. Lauder, her Ma jesty's Consul at the Dardanelles, died on the 14th ult., of typhus fever. years old, without restrictions as to feeding - 6* 208: His Grace the Duke of Ri c h mon d , of G oodwood. neat Chichester, Sussex, a pen of three 32 months old Southdown wethers, bred by his Grace.

We r t ea o t n i e n t_ a l etter Fors from om e time Algiers, past published crimes ha have ey beenthe Constititi committed here which have caused great uneasiness to the inhabitants. One night in particular lamentable cries were heard in the Rue Bab Azoun, in the heart of the city, where-t wo or t h ree persons were ' engaged in a desperate struggl e w ith several assailants. On arriving at the spot, three police agents, who had barn attacked, were found lying on the ground, stabbed in several places by some thieves whom they had attempted to arrest. The police endeavoured in vain to trace the offenders, until an unexpected incident occurred to aid them. Some time ago information was received that a murder had been committed during the night, on an Italian named Caesar Poggio, who kept a public-house. The officers of justice proceeded to the house, and there found an immense quantity of objects which had evi dently been stolen, with false keys, crow-bars, and other instruments used by burglars. It was inferred that Poggio had quarrelled with some of the malefactors, and that they had committed the murder. The police began by arresting his brother-in-law, a man of bad character. This led to further discoveries, and it was ascertained that there was an organised band of at least sixty thieves or receivers, forty of whom are now in custody for trial. They consist "of Italians, Maltese, and Spa niards, of the class who quit their own country where they are too well known, and rush to a new colony to com mit further depredations." In the same letter we find the following curious statement:—" About ten years ago there lived at Oran, a Spaniard, of excessively mild manners, full of snbmission to the authorities, in fact, a highly-respectable man in every respect, in appearance, except that he exercised no known profession. Every year he was absent for three months, and it was noticed that on his return he had always plenty of money. This circumstance at length having excited suspicion, he was summoned before a magistrate, when, without hesitation, he recounted the secret of his existence. He stated that he had been a convict at Cadiz, and having served his time, had come to Africa to live tranquilly. When his purse was nearly empty, he embarked foe Spain, where he committed robberies, and having got enough to supply him for the remainder of the year, returned to Oran. i A s t n e n expulsion h t w o O A u g d e r m i a a k p e u t a a n n o t e h n e d r t c o t s t h p i t s e rm for re the of f e a x d ventures of Gil Blas or Guzman d'Alfarache." THE WEATHER.-THE TEMPERATURE.--The snow which visited us on Saturday se'nninght, and which was followed by a partial and temporary thaw, and by rain, during Tuesday evening, h as b een succeeded by a keen frost, with exceedingly low temperatures. We have elsewhere published a letter frdm Mr. J. Joule, stating that about a quarter before eight o'clock on Monday morning last his thermometer indicated the low point of 6 degrees Fahrenheit; and at two P.M. that day it stood at 15 degrees, and on Tuesday morning it was not higher than 22 degrees. The thermometer of Messrs. Ronchetti, fell as low as 20 degrees during Sunday; and on Monday morning about five o'clock reached its lowest point of 16 degrees. On Tuesday morning it was as low as 20 degrees; and sleet and rain during the day we re succeeded by hard frost at night, On Wednesday there was some little rain during the day; but the night was again frosty. On Thursday there was a sharp frost all day, and during the night the thermometer sank to 20 degrees, with asouth-ea — st wind. The frost continued with unabated severity during yesterday, and most of the ponds and pieces of water in the neighbourhood of the town are now firmly ice -bound, and afford sport to skaters. The most remarkable thing in the weather is the unusually early period of the season at which frost has set in. In December, 1845, the first appearance of frost was on Sunday afternoon, the 7th of that mon th ; but the thermometer did not all below 30 degrees, and the next was a wet day; nor was it till Saturday, the 13th, that a sharp frost was experienced, and this only lasted a few hours, being again followed by the heavy rains which cha . acterised that month. Even these frosts were earlier than usual; but this year there was a fall of snow and a frosty night on Saturday, the 25th of No vember, and the frost has (with the slight intermissions already noticed) endured over since. In November, 1845, the lowest temperature was 27 degrees Fahrenheit; in the month just closed it was 16 degrees. In Decem- her, 1845, the minimum reached by the thermometer was 26 degrees (on the 18th); and, in the first three or four days of the resent month, the minimum on two or three days has been 20 degrees Fahrenheit. The minimum point of Monday morning (16 degrees) is lower than the lowest temperature, even of December, during the last ,ixteen years; the nearest approaches being 17 degrees in 1830, and 19 degrees in 1841, and again in 1844. .tfanchester Guardian. LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAL-011 SatUi- lay nn,rning Captain Coddington, the Government In- Spector, accTunpinied by a number of the directors, en (,ineera and Fhareholders, commen ce d hi s i ns p ect i on o f 'the line near Kendal, in a train of four carriages. Having inspected the line between Kendal and Penritb, the train arrived at the latter place about ten o'clock, and having remained there a short time, it proceeded on to Carlisle, where it did not arrive until after three .)'clock, in consequence of a slight accident to the engine near Plumpton. The length of the line is forty miles. Captain Coddington and the directors dined together at the Bush Hotel, Carlisle, after which the Gallant In spector expressed himself in the highcst terms of com mendation, bestowing the greatest praise on the di rectors for the very complete and efficient line which they had made between Lancaster and Carlisle. It was arranged that the public opening shall take place on Tuesday, the 15th inst. The Rev. Horace Sainsbury Cotton, many years Ordinary of Newgate, and Reader of Christ Church, Newgate-street, died at the age of 72, soon after he had made his will, wherein he appointed Mr. Secondary Potter his sole executor, but who declined to act, and one of the testator's daughters administered as the resi duary legatee. He had but fc w worldly goods and poe sesions to dispose of; and these, he said, would be of still less importance if divided equally amongst his children. His copyhold estate, held of the manor of Colley and Reigate, - he has loft to his two sons, and the residue of his effects, including Pack Cottacr,e, at Reigate, which he occupied, he leaves to his daughters for their life, then to his son Stapleton. MURDER OF A GAMEKEEPER. On Wednesday last one of the under-gamekeephrs of Mr. Colquhoun, of Killermont, named, we believe, Jamieson, was fired t t by poachers, and so severely wounded below the knee that he died the same night. From what we have learned, it appears that Jamieson had been employed with one of the foresters during the day near Kilpatrick, and afterwards proceeded towards Maryhill, where ho had fallen in with two poachers, one of whom, in a fray which ensued, discharged his fowling-piece at him with fatal effect. The keeper was found some hours after wards in a sinking state by a young man who was attracted to the spot by his groans. We understand ho was then so weak as to be able only to articulate with some difficulty that the " bloody deed was done by two men who had a white dog." The authorities of Dam hartnnshire arc investigating this serious affair. THE CENTRAL PROTECTION SOCIETY. At the monthly meeting of the Central Society for th e Pro tection of Agriculture and British Industry, held yesterday, at 17, Old Bond-street, the question of the repeal of the malt tax was brought under the notice of the committee, when a resolution was adopted, that a meeting of that body should be summoned for the 12th of January next, to take that subject into con sideration. RAILWAY MEETING AT Wirmsoit.—A meeting cmvened by the mayor was held at Windsor on Monday, for the purpose of taking into consideration the com peting schemes for a railway communication from that town to London, via the Windsor, Staines, Richmond, and South-Western line, and the railway to connect Windsor with the Great Western at Slough. The meet ing was very fully attended, and great excitement ap peared to prevail on the subject. Amongst those pre sent were the Hon. Henry Ashley, M.P., the Hon. Capt. Fitzmaurice, M.P., Colonel Reid, M.P., Ralph Neville, Esq., M.P., Colonel Challoner, Sir Robert Sidney, W. G. Hayter, Esq., M.P., C. S. Captain A resolution was moved by Mr. J. oues , Esq., Bulkeley, , Minton in favour of the South-Western scheme ; he said, he had the authority of the Commissioners of the Woods and Forests to state that they had no objection to offer to that line. An amendment was moved by Captain Bulkeley to the effect that the connecting line from Windsor to the Great Western would best accom modate the inhabitants. He accused the Government of having been bribed by the South-Western Rail wa y Company to favour their scheme by offering to contri bute money towards the projected improvements. After a very animated discussion, the amendment in favour of the Great Western communication was declared to have been carried, and petitions to Parliament in accordance with it were agreed to before the meeting separated. THE GREAT BRITAIN.—" A paragraph, dated Bris- l - ti t e i v r e s i . r stating, t A i n l g b :o i n n , 'ha s . b to e l e , n N , ov w . in t g he th 2 e B r t o li u ,' n ' d s o a f ys th t e h° p refer ence to the Great Britain, that 6 the engineer, whose plan for getting her off had been approved, represents that the late gales have so far strained and damaged her that she will not repay the cost which would neces sarily be incurred in the attempt.' That engineer is Mr. Bremner, and he has not made any such repre sentation. We had an interview with Mr. Bremner a few days ago, and his advice is, to make the vessel as snug as possible for the remainder of the winter, and in, spring he intends to take her off into deep water, an operation which he will per f orm on the first favourable opportunity. One of Mr. Bremner's sons, a gentleman of great engineering ability, we are sorry to say vas compelled to leave the superintendence of the Gretisßri tain by severe indisposition."
