Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' lolcallt„yl:oane.don, Honorary Member of the London hospital Medical Sie that it may be really the cause of mutual happ i. Marriaga requires the fulfilment of several condnessitions c . o in uid or t d h e e r veil, which severs the origin of domestic wretche dness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it he traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused .the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of whieh this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of tie health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plyins, to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints arc beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of lisease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the is.edical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'ME,RT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his eliplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases. f te rld, ..e a se d ttr. esoetfrt street s e t Kent a t r i a Ge t: o d rTa ß i oc i nh e ,b h o a ni r 4 d i e6 s st,t2r l ,3 ' j u ,:t b a, l t i e s m h n e ao d ;t l , s en y ia t rr hi ewt;;l Author, Aar.an. as a ye l ,l i l t ,6 l 3 7 os y ., L3 , alealasll-street, London ; or, fie , ' by post for forty-two stamps , from 'he Ant'acr, who may b • consulted on these disorders personall;- e- by letter, daily, from Test till Two, and from Five till Eight, at his residence, 37, Bedford-square, London.

During the past week the British public has been ad mitted to a spectacle of a painfully interesting and gravely historical import. One of the most splendid ebodee of our almost regal aristocracy has thrown open its portals to an endless succession of visitors, who from morning to night have flowed in an uninterrupted stream from room to room, and floor to floor—not io enjoy the hospitality of the lord, or to; cw.gratulate him on his countless treasures of art, but to see an ancient family ruined, their palace marked for destruction, and its contents scattered to the four winds of Heaven. We are only saying what is notorious, and what, therefore, it is neither a novelty nor a cruelty to repeat, that the Most Noble and Puissant. Prince, his Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, is at this moment an absolutely ruined and destitute man. Our ad vertising columns have introduced to the public the long list of estates, properties, and interests which are no longer his, and will not revert to his htirs. The last crash of this mighty ruin is that which now sounds. Stowe is no more. This morn ing the tumultuous invasion of sight-seers will once again be endured, and to-morrow the auctioneer will begin his work. Under the lofty arch which crowns the long avenue from Buckingham, and opens the first view of the magnificent Palladian façade, has lately passed .a daily cavalcade which, except in its utter absence of style, might remind one of the road to Epsom on the Derby day. One might imagine a great country picnic hail suddenly gathered at Stowe. Even stalls svera there. From the branch of a noble beech hung a huge pair of scales on which venison was weighed. In the distance were fallen trees, timber waggons, and ex tempore sawpits. The enormous edifice was a human hive. Every window showed the crowd within passing to and fro. But once admitted—once standing under the Pantheon-like vault of the central saloon, and glanc ing right and left at the endless vistai'of gorgeous apart ments, then one indeed realized the sacrilege was going on. In the state dining-room were set out 60,000 az of gold and silver plate; one was involuntarily reminded of the weight, for the scales were at work there also, and men were weighing and noting down lot after lot. On a table twenty yards long and on a dozen sideboards stood forests of vases, candelabra, epergnes, groups, goblets, tankards, and every other form and variety of plate, from the elaborate designs of Italian artists to the simple elegance of the old English school, and the pre tentious richness of the last generation. Among fifty other pieces of historic value, the gifts of Royal per sonages and distinguished men, stood a vase, formed from snuffboxes presented by the cities and corpora tions in Ireland in 1779, the mace of the old corporation of Buckingham, purchased by the Buckingham Con servatives and presented to the Duke as an everlasting possession ; and the Chandos Testimonial, for which the gentry and yeomanry of the county lately subscribed, we believe 1,5001. . . "Put thy house in order, for thou shalt surely die." Csesar died with grace. The obsequies of Stowe have been marshalled with befitting pomp. On what treasures of art will the sun set this day never to rise again'on a similar array within those walls ! The quantity is beyond conception, and if the taste is not always the most refined, it is because the vastness of the accumulation and the accidents of its history forbade a more fastidious rule. The Duke of Buckingham is the representative, not of' one, but of many families. It is a mighty wreck of ages ihat has been accumulated in this place, swollen indeed, and somewhat overwhelmed by recent additions, but still full of historical, national, and poetical associations. The galleries of family portraits and collections of family memorials seem to connect all the great men and all the great achievements of modern Europe with the names of Chandos, Temple, Cobham, Nugent, and Grenville. It is not our purpose to speak of that which money has collected, and may collect again. Such things are only scattered for a fresh reunion elsewhere, under new and more favourable auspices. But the heirlooms of many great families, the records of many great events, and the memorials of many great persons, all sponta neously collected into ono great whole, constitute a sin gular and most significant fact, the obliteration of which we can only compare to the overthrow of a nation or a throne. And everything is to be sold. The fatal ticket is everywhere seen. The portrait of Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, the first founder of the family, by Holbeiu, is now lot 51, in the 21st day's sale. That every other ancestor should go to the hammer, whether by Van Dyk, or Lely, or Kneller, or Gainsborough, or Reynolds, follows of course. But there is ono item of which no preparation can remove the shock. The Chandos family is descended from Frances Brandon, eldest daughter of the above Charles Brandon, by Mary, daughter of Henry VII., and Queen Dowager of France. Some time since cer tain savages or dilettanti at Bury exhumed that Mary Brandon from her grave and took from her head a lock of silken hair, which thus constitutes a visible link be tween the present Duke of Buckingham and the throne of these realms, to which he has a reversionary claim. That lock of silken hair, in its glass case, is now to be sold to the highest bidder. What can we say more to show the extent of the devastation ? It is a most de plorable, and we must now add a most disgraceful event. haveo On pa this s pointred neither the truth people shall benor spok en prince. . These columnsWehave recently had to pronounce the judgment of public opinion, and to call for the vengeance of the laws upon the rash men who have perverted the first gushes of youthful genius and the rude instincts of popular freedom to an impious rebellion. We have been forced to do so, and we have done so not without a pang. Should we deal fairly if we spared the destroyer of his house, the man whose reckless course has thrown to the ground a pillar of the state, and struck a heavy blow at the whole order to which he unfortunately belongs ? For an event of peace we have known nothing more serious and lamentable. In the midst of fertile lands and an iudustrious people, in the heart of a country where it is thought virtuous to work, to save, and to thrive, a man of the highest rank, and of a property not unequal to his title, has flung all away by extravagance and folly, and reduced his honours to the tinsel of a pauper and the baubles of a fool. Were it only weakness, that might ask our contempt. But there is more than weak ness here. It is notorious that the Duke, by the use of a passionate and overpowering persuasion, has induced his amiable son, now in his 25th year, to cut off the en tail of all the property in which his Grace was interested. This is not the place to discuss the general question of entail, .or to inquire whether p T u h b a l t ie m b a e y ne o fi r t m s ay may not not he; hsportt it is beyond our presentng from a private ruin. hereditary tiloughts r A ule p r a , r , conser vator of a noble house, and the the act of a public man, an is what we are now called upon to review. The Duke or Buckingham has persuaded his son to sign away his birthright., and to divide it among creditors who had no sort of claim upon the son's reversion, whatever they might have upon upon the father's interest. There are doubtless circumstances in which it is reasonable that the son should cut off an entail. In the present case there was neither reason nor excuse. A ducal house is overthrown to atone for one man's wilful folly, and to give expensive tradesmen and extortionate money lenders better security than they contemplated when first they sold their goods and lent their money.. preached by the Rev.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORIi ASSOCIATION. Sir,—On Wednesday the 9th, the House went into Committee on Supply. Weighty debate on naval questions of various kinds. Knowing that nothing is so interesting to the burghers of an inland town, I will take - liberty to descant on some of the points; premising that, in- my time, I hive had opportunities of practical acquaintance with the details, sufficient to relieve me from the charge of impertinent inter ference. Much was said on both sides, on the expenses and other accidents, of steam as applied to war. It is ilot difficult to perceive, that if ever naval war recurs, steam-vessels will he the cavalry of the sea. Of which one of the results will that if ever you hear of a hostile fleet of twenty sail of the line again, a proportion of them bearing some analogy to the proportion of cavalry in an army (which is a fourth of the infantry, or a fifth of the whole) will be what may be called steam line-of battle ships. It is not impossible that there will be a time when all fighting ships will steam ; but so much will be'eertain. A ship of this kind is not intended to possess great velocity; hut it will move through the water at the rate of five or, six miles an hour in a calm, which all accustomed fi g l a t- liava l battl e s by their firesides must see to b e a great i nstrument of power. An experimental ship has been fitted out, called the Blenheim ; and is said to answer well. But it is what is called cut down from a 74; which means that it is one of the old 74- gun ships (probably one that was found small and 111-calculated to carry the heavy guns which seventy fours are now expected to carry) with its highest deck and tier of guns or part of them removed, so as to make it carry at last only something above fifty. This you will see is an operation like cutting down boots into shoes ; but it may do once in a way for an experi ment. But your naval amateurs will all have heard, that a 50-gun ship lies under the character of being too weak for what is called the line-of-battle ; that is to say, it is impolitic to put a ship with only 50 guns, into a place where it is almost certain to be encountered by a ship with half as many more. Hence the Blen• heim may do very well for what was professed to be the intention,—defending a landing-place or harbour; but for the line-of-battle, vessels will be wanted which shall not be inferior in guns to at least an ordinary 74. I understand a vessel of this kind, carrying 80 guns (for the line-of- battle ships of all nations, two-deckers, are running into more than 74 guns at present) is in preparation, to be called the James Watt; a name, I was told, of Lord Broughsni's choosing. And ves sels of this kind it will be, which will constitute what may be called the heavy cavalry of the sea. To these may be added a certain portion (say half the last) of steam-frigates with the greatest attainable velocity, and carrying guns of great calibre for close action ; of which an example may be taken in the Sidon, built under the direction of Sir Charles Napier. Any man may see, that two or three vessels of this kind in a great naval action, would form -an awful reserve, and the fleet which had not them would lie under a great inferiority to one that had. Besides these, there will clearly be wanted a set' of what may be called sea Riflemen ; and I feel the more interest, because they are exactly what our evidence on the Slave Trade Committee tells us would be wanted to clear the Coast of Africa o f Slavers. One heavy gun, long 24 or 32 pounder, is declared to be sufficient; being what the Americans used to patronize in their schooner privateers under the ro mantic title of " long Tom." Since sailing is of in ferior importance to a steam-vessel, except as the means of economising coals when not in a hurry, my old recollections prompt me to think a favourable form would be what the sailors call "ketch" rig, which consists of one mast placed further aft than or • dinary, and leaning forward, thereby leaving increased room on deck before the mast; being what was ap plied to the ancient bomb-ketches, though bomb vessels now carry their mortars between their masts, and fire them to their side an not to their head. With a little contrivance of shifting shrouds, and other things a sailor would easily make out, it seems practicable to give thee-rim what a sailor would call "a clear eye " all round the horizon, whatevez way the vessel was steaming; or if more masts were wanted, they might be small and made to clear away. Fifty men would be required on the coast of Africa, on account of sending away in captured vessels ; but there seems no reason why thirty should not do on other stations. The vessel itself would be the size of the smaller class of sea-going steamers, or such as go to Boulogne. Those of us who d a t e f rom t h e t i me o f Nelson's fleets, remember the outcry there used to be for more frigates ; the use of th e f r i ga t e b e i ng on l y t o c arry or procure information with d espatc h an d moderate security from capture, all o f w hi c h wou ld b e as well effected with one gun and st eam , as w ith the old ship of 32. Besides which, I hav e a no ti on from what 1 see on the Thames, that a ste amer o f t hi s kind acting as a tug, would tow a line-of-battle ship at the rate of two miles an hour in a calm ; so that the tendency will clearly be, for every heavy ship to have in one way or other a steam-vessel which on emergency cane take it in tow. And when this is not wan ted, it is clear this " long Tom" class mu s t make a formid able addition to the sea-cavalry r eserve . I want to know what is the r oug h co st of steam vessels, large and small, comp are d with sailing vessels of the same tonnage. In th e army we know that an infantry-man costs about 301. a year, and a dragoon with his horse 701., and we want a rough esti mate of the same kind for the sea. There is a popular belief that sailing vessels, the larger ones, cost 1 , 0001 . a gun, with all their stores on board. I have heard that the cost of steam-vessels, compared I suppose with sailing vessels of equal tonnage, is one-half more than the sailers, but I do not know how far it is pre cise. In all military and naval establishments, the final expense for eating and maintenance runs up to vastly more than the expense of what is only, paid for once ; and a steam-vessel eats an enormous quantity —of coals. When we come to distant operations, the victualling of a steam-fleet with coals will be a most serious item. Rut the upshot will be t his ; nations will always have a limited amount of money to make duclsa and drakes of in war, an d the ten dency will be, to expend this amount in what will produce the greatest quantity of force. Hence that a thing is intrinsically expensive, is in one sense no reason why it will not be clone ; all that follows is, that less will be done of something else. And this sort of calculations it is, that those whose business it is must think of; and we that are to pay for all, are stupid if we do not try to have an insight into the bearings of the subject where we can. - exhibited' ccason If you find matters of this kind agreeably relieve your mind from questions . of merinos and of Poor rates, I shall be glad to continue them upon Whatever happens, do not say I do not keep an ey9 upon the naval interests of Bradford. , On Thursday some amusing scenes were l on occasion of the Corrupt Practices at Elections Bill.enthe thteh Governmentata schedule c o m for pro posedrni tea puhtatding Bodmin d Bolton to into inquiry; the stated the basisof l n being, eig existence of bribery or 'treating.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. GREAT NORTHERN. The usual halt-yearly general meeting of the pro prietors of this railway was held on Saturday, at the London Tavern; Mr. Beckett Denison in the chair. The report represented that the works were being steadily carried forward, and from April last advantage had been taken of the fine season to press them on as fast as the means would permit. In accordance with thr intention announced at the last meeting, the line from Peterborough to Lincoln would be opened for traffic in September next; and at that period the East Lincoln shire Railway—of which 14 miles from Grimsby to Louth had been opened and worked, with satisfactory results, since the Ist March last—would be completed and opened throughout to Boston, and would then become the property of the Great Northern Railway Company. An arrangement had been concluded with he Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railwa) Company for running the Great Northern trains by Grimsby to and from the Humber Ferries (opposite to Hull), which would open a new and much shorter route south from Hull, and places north of that town ; and with 'he view to open with the least possible delay a con sinuous line between Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, and to avoid an unnecessary outlay of the company's capital, sn arrangement had also been made with the Manchester, Sheffield; and Lincolnshire Company for running over that company's lines between IGainsborough, Saxelby (near Lincoln), and Retford; and with the same object the di rectors had recently contracted with Messrs.. Petu and Betts for the works from Retford to Doncaster which are to be opened early in the summer of 1849, thus establishing railway communication fromPeterborough into Yorkshire. Between London and Peterborough upwards of 1,000,0001. has been expended on lands and works. The tatter are progressing rapidly, and those on the first mile north from King's cross, which are heavy, have been Ately let at very low prices. Connected with this south ,rn portion of the line, the works of the Royston and Elitchidßallway, forming a part of the Great Northern system ' have been let, and will be commenced early next year. An extension of that line to join the Eastern Countiei, Bedford arid Cambridge branch at Shepreth, vithin six miles of Cambridge, has been sanctioned by an Act passed this session. The Bill for the Isle of Axholme Extension line and that for the Leeds Central station .have passed, the former only awaiting the Royal assent. The Bill for the Doncaster and other devia tions, .&e., fur which application to Parliament was anetioned by the special meeting in February last,, was inexpectedly thrown out on the second reading in :he Commons. A clause therein was subsequently in serted in the Isle of Axholme Act, authorising the iivision of the present 251. shares in two shares of 121. 10s. each, in the mode and for the purpose ex iylained in the February special meeting. This divi sion of the shares was suggested with the object of re lieving those shareholders to whom it may have become inconvenient to pay up the remainder of their calls ; and, in the opinion of the directors, it will have the effect, and whilst it cannot injure, it may operate bene ficially to the interests of the company generally, by tending to increase the number of the shareholders, and to obtain payment of the arrears of calls. The directors, therefore, under the clause in the Act, have resolved to give any shareholder who has paid up 171. per share, the option of dividing his shares, and arrangements will be made for carrying out the division, which will be com municated to the shareholders by the Ist of October, to come into operation on the Ist of November next. The plan is as follows :—That each shareholder shall have the option of dividing his 251 share into two 121. 10s. shares, distinguished as A, or deferred, and B, or guaranteed shares, the B (unpaid up) to be guaranteed by the holder of the A (paid up) six per cent. per annum; and the A to take the chance of all further dividend or privilege. The B, or guaranteed 121.10 s share, shall be entitled to six percent. per annum on the amount paid up, out of the interest allowed during the construction of the line, and'a preference dividend afterwards, up to 6 per cent. per annum, before the A shares shall receive any dividend, and shall have the option of paying up the calls in full, and receiving 6 per cent. from the first of the month after payment. Another obvious and impor tant advantage that will result from this division of the shares is, that the A, or paid-up portion, can be converted into stock, which course the directors recommend, and the notice required for this purpose will be given prior to the next general meeting in February, that it may be then carried out. Adverting to the arrears of calls, the directors think it right to state that since the 30th of June those arrears have been reduced by the amount of 55,58 E/. The very small sum, 2,1001., received on loan upon mortgage, requires notice, as at the date of the ac count, 30th of June, the company was hardly in a posi tion to exercise its borrowing powers; since the 30th of June the loans on mortgage have reached the sum of 43,750/. The report concludes by recommending the forfeitUre of 865 shares, in order that they may be dis posed of, and registered in the names of the original holders." The engineer's report was next read. It states:- " That the works now in course of execution extend over 17 miles. That on Mr. Brassey's contract, which ex tends from Islington to Peterborough, the works are pro ceeding with full vigour, with the exception of the district between Hitchin and Huntingdon, the works on which portion being of a light character, and in a favourable material, are reserved for next winter's work, when the London district will be about three-fourths completed. All the operations aro proceeding under arrangements which warrant the expectation of their completion by the spring of 1850. On Messrs. Peto and Betts's con tract, the works of the line from the south junction of the loop, near Peterborough, up to Saxelby, six miles beyond Lincoln, are rapidly drawing to a close. The rails are laid for a distance of sixty -two miles out of the whole distance of sixty-five, and the whole of this por tion of the line may be ready for use and in good working order iu September next, with the sta tions in such a state of forwardness as to admit of the traffic being carried on. The completion Hof this portion of the line will be followed, in three months time, by that of the length bstween'Saxelby and Gainsborou,gh, a further distance of nine and a half miles, on which the works are proceeding with great vigour-by far the larger portion being already com pleted, and all the remainder in a very forward state. The works between East Retford and Rossington, near Doncaster, have not been actually commenced further than by the preparation of plant and materials; but there can be no doubt of their completion by next summer. From Doncaster northward to Arksey, the works are in such a state of forwardness that there is no doubt of their being ready for traffic previous to Doncaster Races, with temporary station accommodation; and from Ark sey to the junction of the Askerne branch, the line has , or several weeks been open to the public, the traffic being carried on under the management and by the trains of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company."

At the conclusion of the reading of the report, The CHAIRMAN rose and said,-Gentlemen, your di rectors have great pleasure in meeting you for the pur pose of laying before you a report of all tho proceedings of the company which have taken place during the first six months of the current year ; and of offering to your consideration all the information in their possession on every subject connected with this great undertaking. - (Cheers.) Gentlemen, you are perfectly aware w the aiave t l have no secrets, for when it is considered that above 4,000 shareholders, any one of whom is at of to Cc/MC to the office at any time to examine the b ooks the directors, it is perfectly clear no circumstance public, if nce can be well kept secret from the s hareholders or the former choose to exercise their right.-(Cheers.) In accordance with a wish expressed at of the receipts and the half-yearly meet ing held in February expenditure was prepared ias and last, enabstract circulated among the pro prietors two or three days prior to this meeting, and I hope that it has proved satisfactory. At all events, it [PRICE 5D.. I shows you in what way your money has been spent, and if any proprietor wishes for any explanation upon the subject I w ill do my best to answer him. The engineer's report has been read to you, and I hope it will prove satisfactory when I state that within the last ten days I have felt it my duty to go over the whole of the line, half-mile by half-mile ; and though my experience in engineering is sot very great, I think I can with confidence state that the report of the engineer is extremely accurate and correct.—(Cheers.) Assuming that to be the case, it is clear that before the end of October we shall have open, or be able to open, the line from Peterborough to six miles beyond Lincoln, a distance of sixty-five miles.— (Cheers.) In addition to that we have four or five miles heyond Doncaster, which is now being worked satisfac torily- ' • the East Lincolnshire line, which will be shortly ready for opening, and which then becomes a portion of the Great Northern scheme, of forty-eight miles ; and a line from Grimsby to New Holland, opposite Hull, of seventeen miles, over which we have power to work by arrangements with the company to which it belongs, they having power to work on our line. We ,hall, therefore, have, in fact, by arrangements with the Eastern Counties and London and North-Western Com• panies, who have shewn every disposition to act in per feet amity with us, a new line from London through Boston and Louth to New Holland, opposite Hull. At New Holland there is an excellent ferry, with a fine jetty extending four hundred or five hundred feet into the sea, from which steamers cross to Hull in ten minutes. By that routo we shall open a communication between London and Hull, and that part of Yorkshire, infinitely shorter than any other; and sal now see before me many gentlemen from the neighbour ho of Bridlington and Sunderland, I hope that in fu ture they will select that route to London; for, in addi tion to having the satisfaction of travelling over a part of theii own line, they will have a journey forty miles shorter than the present.—(Cheers.) The opening of so much of the line which I confidently rely on taking place in tho month of October, is owing mainly to the support of the shareholders in paying up their calls, which I must say is a matter of extreme gratification, and so far answers a notion that is abroad of our calls being much in arrear.—(Hear, hear.) In respect to the arrears of calls, let me direct your attention to the fact, that, when the line was first broached, both in this company and the Direct Northern, there was a great rush for shares, and the difficulty was not so much the getting of share holders as the keeping improper parties out of the company.—(Hear, hear.) I need not, I am sure, al lude to the circumstances which have since oc curred in the share market, or the change in the character of shares within the last two or three years; but what I w i s h t o ca ll y our a tt en ti on t o i s thi s , chat' out of 4,000 or 5,000 shareholders it must be out e nu n I t al t yb t f r l r a eko l mn i t yno pay nha x ye p t h e ac c epo t i e rm d t rphea t e an h i lry e p r . eeoasllirttsi nbpon, wd e r oowubahla would have a l eh r i g fa e hyl. p ew e bhe r evaeed c nr e e n rs t t ih a hg g ut ai is choir ry engagements m m e nai's h a ve eth been this company prevented from frnm losses tained in other speculations, and many of those who, in 1845, were good and competent shareholders, may, by their speculations, be in a very different situation now. If the proprietors look calmly at the circumstances to which I have alluded, I think they will be of opinion with me, that the arrears are not ao formidable as fairly to create any dismay. There is another question rela tive to this subject which is of groat importance—viz., Will those arrears increase ? I think that they will not--(flear, hear)—because I believe, and I trust those I am addressing believe so also, that those who have paid up 151. per share will not lose their shares; but if hey are unable to meet their calls, they will hand them over to other parties, who, buying them at a discount, will be prepared to pay up the calls. So large an amount having been called up, after making every deduction, I consider that we shall be enabled to reduce the ar rears, and I take the liberty of again expressing my opinion that they are not so largo as to be looked at with dismay. Indeed, I have no doubt the arrears will eventually bo considerably reduced; and I may remind you that you have heard by the report that they have been reduced 55,000?. _since_ June. The next point to which I wish to call the attention of the meeting is the communication between Yorkshire and Lincolnsbire, which has been delayed, owing to the fact of the York shire Deviation Bill being thrown out on the second reading of the House of Commons. I lament the fact— still it is a fact—and the result is, the communication cannot take place so soon as it otherwise would. If the Bill had not been thrown out, the communication would have taken place in the course of the present year, but as it is, it cannot take place before the spring or summer of next year. I am happy to say that wo have entered into amicable arrangements with the Sheffield and Lin eolnshire Company, by which we shall be enabled to make a considerable saving in the outlay of your capital— they having given us power to run over nine miles of their line, and we, in return, giving them power to run over on ours. I think it due to the company over which Lord Yarborough presides, to state that they have alw a y s shown the utmost feelings of consideration and amity towards us, and I believe the arrangement by which we have power to run over their lines from Grimsby to New Holland and from Retford to Saxelby, while we give them power to run over our line, will be ad vantageous to the shareholders, and satisf actory to the proprietors. I will now again refer to the engineer's re • port and call your attention to the works south of Peter borough. In that report it is fairly stated that great progress has been made with the works, which, being heavy throughout, it is the duty of the contractors to go on with cautiously and steadily, but that there can be no doubt they will be ready for opening in 1850. These works being heavy, could not be well completed sooner, as it would not do to hurry them; and I look with confi dence that we shall have ample capital to complete them. We shall then give to the public a direct line from London to the north, with the exception of what is called the " towns line" from Peterborough by Grantham to Newark, and which may be fairly left till there is such an alteration in circumstances that we shall not be obliged to give so much interest for money as we now are. I confidently look, however, to that line being ultimately made, when your railway will become, I will not say one of, but the great highway from London to the north of England.—(Cheers.) 'With respect to the future prospects of the company, my opinion has undergone no change, and I believe that when it is fully opened it .will be a most valuable undertaking, though perhaps it may take some time beforo the traffic is fully developed. On this subjeet my attention has been recently called to a pamphlet, published by Mr. Humphrey Brown, M.P., a gentleman who has had great experience in connexion with railways. He says cEiap t h3anarnassdi England, el e i t arL h nt goe e adeenn,:d e gGs .310tropi Great yarBdetaoBostv Western k; d sneaa9,s t nntl r d.ead a , rnffinasdNcnoadouonGrntaoht North theßsEggroaoi goods Eastern, a d n n7I Midland,a, asdnn6Gd Ayr, L4eEy M aBarxt : a et Ndntoweacnorhnas: was, Lan caster andatafenonordr-i, w a t the e goodsre result 1 tin 1 2 o 4 5 86 , 2 4 55 w t a e s n , a— for aa passengers, increase 0 vert 8,625,3601., hee m estimates of, for passengers, 5,536,6014, and of goods, 1,306,807 tons ; the increase being, on passengers 160 per cent., and on goods 170 per cent. Ido not know whether the traffic of the Great Northern line has been so estimated as to admit of such an increase, but it is hardly possible to form an estimate of the amount of traffic which may be developed by the line. The other day I happened to meet a gentleman from Lincolnshire, and I asked him his opinion of what would be the value of the railway to that county ; when he replied, that it would be the greatest possible blessing, and no estimate could be formed of the traffic that would come over it, That is a proof of the estimation in which the line is held, and I. think it better to wait the result than endeavour to enter into any caleulation upon it. Ido not knew that I have any y y i f m ur p th ri e e r tn o r bs w e i rv ah a n t a io t n n s toaakmake any u t e h s e t o s n u a b !l ectj, shbaullt be happy to answer them. In conclusion, I beg to move, that the report be received, adopted, and printed for cir culation among the proprietors. Mr. rACKE (the deputy chairman) seconded ,the re solution. Mr. litmus had a resolution which he wished to pro pose by way of amendment on the motion just made, or in any other manner which might be more acceptable to the shareholders. The object of his resolution was to enforce the carrying on the company with greater eco nomy than hitherto, though in doing so ho did not wish to impute to the directors or officers the want of ability, tact, judgment, or honour; but by showing that the com pany was conducted economically, to give the public greater confidence in it—as likely to be of advantage to the country and profitable to the shareholders. He con sidered the amounts taken by the directors, superinten dent, secretary, and solicitors, as too much, and ought to be reduced. The amount of remuneration to tho di rectors was 2,5001. per annum, to the superintendent 2,0001., and to the secretary 1,200/., which ho thought every one would consider as too much in the state of the money market, and with a falling share market. lie should, therefore, propose that the allowance to the di rectors should be reduced to 2,0001., to the superinten dent 1,000/.; and to the secretary 1,000/; and that, in future, no solicitors' bill should be paid until it had undergone taxation. Mr. GREIVES said, with regard to the proposed re duction of salaries, that it would be better to refer the matter to the chairman and directors. As to the soli citor's charges, he bad no doubt they did not exceed the regular charges, but ho thought the directors would save 20,0004 a year by the appointment of a salaried solicitor. Mr. CHAPMAN would be sorry to see " a penny wise and pound foolish" principle of economy carried out. He thought the amount voted to the directors was not at all too much to induce gentlemen of character and honour to devote themselves to the service of the company. lie would be very glad to see a judicious, rigid, and strain,' t fon% and system of economy adoped in the management of their affairs. . The CHAIRMAN said with regard to the allowance to the directors, he was sure they were a ll indiff erent to i t, and if required would resign it. Thatit had b een inti mated to Captain Laws and Mr. Mowatt, the secretary, that under present circumstances some reduction must take place, to which they had assented ; though he be lieved they were fully entitled to all they received. With regard to taxing the solicitor's bills, he had Lever been opposed to it, but on a former occasion ho said it would be attended with some expense. In reply to a question from Mr. MAIMERT, respecting the investment of the balance, 484,0711,, The CHAIIIMA.N stated that, at the time the account made up, they had above 100,000/, in the Union • at 3 per cent. interest, and large sums at other the remainder was invest• d in the shares of rail companies with which they were connected, and they had hoaght at a di:count, viz., 68,0001. in Aas incolnshire shares; in the Stamford and Wisbeach, 27,0001; Royston and Hitchin, 24,0001. ;--- and in the 'South Yorkshire, Doncaster, and Goole Railway shares, 29,0001. In reference• to the queries of Mr. Bates, le said it was not their intention to raise additional capital; that they could not say whether the original estimate would be exceeded on the whole; but he could state that the estimate for land and compensation had been ex ceeded owing to the defective state of the law; that the - York Extension shares would remain in abeyance. It was stated that the .shares to be forfeited were-j taken up by the original proprietors, the parties to whom they were sold having declined to register them or pay up the calls; the former had paid up the money due upon them, and the for!eiture would enable the directors to issue new certificates in lieu of those for feited. A PROPRIETOR recommended the adoption of the proposition for dividing the shares into shares of 121.105. each, as stated in the report. Captain LAWB remarked, they could do no better than adopt the proposition just referred to. He took that op portunity of expressing his willingness to submit to any reduction in his salary that might be proposed, or to re tire altogether. Ile said he had given up an equally valuable appointment to join that company, and had also refused another and a better offer when he joined the company. The mone . 3 . he had rec e i ve d f rom t h e company since his appointment had been paid back in the shape of calls on his shares, :Ind he believed the secretary had done the same. lie stated, that beyond the 2,0001.: a year he did not receive anything as a director of that; company, nor of any others with which it was con nected. Several other shareholders expressed themselves die satisfied with the pecuniary management of the concern, but, nevertheless, after a short statement from the Chairman, the amendment was put and negatived. The adoption of tho report was then agreed to. Eight hundred and sixty-five shares,. whose holders were defaulters hi calls, were then erdered to be for felted.; after which thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the proceedingt e eertiiinated. . • • • , THE NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY AND THEIR ENGINE-DRIVERS. On Saturday night another numerous meeting of the engine-drivers and firemen, late in the employ of the London and North-Western Railway Company, took place at. the- Railway Tavern, Hampstead road. Mr. JONAS BROWN, engine-driver, again presided, and opened the business by reading an address. He said—Fellow-workmen, we are now no longer the ser vants of the London and North-Western Railway Com pany; and no one will, I am sure, refuse to pay attention to the statement I an about to make, at the moment we are leaving the greltest company in the world, to whom we have been for many years—even by Mr. Glyn's ad mission—diligent, able, and faithful servants. I say we are now no longer in the employ of this great and powerful establishment; and it will become us to inform the public, without fear, favour, or affection, of the reasons and motives that have led to a result which we must, of course, naturally regret—and deeply regret— and which, as sure as I am sitting here, the travelling portion of the public, as well as our Fate employ' is, will as deeply deplore. Why, fellow-workmen, have we left our employment? Mr. Glyn admitted, at the meeting of the proprietors held yesterday, that they were almost under obligations to us for the manner in which we have worked the immense and difficult traffic of the line; but • Hr. Glyn states that " the directors have not thought it right to allow those who hold subordinate situations to dictate to the executive, whether or not the superin tendent who has been put over them, and whom the board have found a faithful, zealous, and active officer, is the proper person to be at the head of the establishment." We never dictated, fellow workmen, as to whether Mr. M'Connell should be locomotive superintendent or not; what we complained of was, his irregular, uncertain, harsh, and tyrannical conduct to us; and sorely to com plain of this is not to dictate. We bore this, as I stated to you last night, up to a point at which we saw it was absolutely necessary to make stand, unless, in deed, we were disposed to submit to the cunningly devised classification scheme of Mr. M'Connell, which we were quite satisfied, from what we had seen of him during the two years we were under his con trol, was introduced for no other purpose than to carry out his threat of 1843, of reducing the maximum wages of drivers to ss. per day; for that such was his intention can be proved by the testimony of a person who is now in this room. Fellow-workmen, Mr. M'Connell was brought upon this line for the sole purpose of reducing the expenditure. The directors know this, and it was the character earned by him on the Birmingham and Gloucester line which prompted certain gentlemen, backed, as I believe, by the influence of Captain Moor som and another, to introduce him upon this railway— a circumstance to be deplored by the whole railway proprietors of this kingdom. Take the career of Mr. M•Connell on the Birmingham and Gloucester line. Several of the victims of the " economy " which recom mended him to two or three gentlemen connected with the London and North-Western Railway are now pre sent, and they can testify to the accuracy that he dis charged every engineman and fireman, with the excep tion of two enginemen and two firemen Who accepted his reduction at that time of Bd. per day, the highest pay on that line being 6s. Bd. per day. Fellow-workmen, this Bd. per day was a severe loss to the company; so much so, indeed, that the directors interfered, and rect,m mended that the wages of the " Grand Junction," which were much higher, should be given, to induce active and experienced enginemen to come on the line ; and those wages exist, up to the present moment, on the Birqing ham and Gloucester Railway. I am convinced, fellow workmen, that the great body of the London and North- Western directors are utterly ignorant of the scandalous conduct to which we, their late servants have been sub jected ; and the time will shortly come when they will be satisfied that it was not upon us but upon our oppres sor that their condemnation should have fallen. We, fellow-workmen, can lay this pleasant conviction to our hearts, that we offered to the directors and Mr. M'Con nell.to submit our care to arbitration, and that we ex pressed ourselves ready to do anything that any ono disinterested and honourable man should say we ought to do. Mr. MARSHALL stated that he had it upon the most authentic information from the City that some of the persons engaged to supply the places of the old engine drivers were such persons as those who had the ma nagement of the engines of steam-boats on the Thames. The CHAIRMAN said there was another security which the public had under the care of the old engine -drivers, and which the new men knew nothing about. They had a act of private signals among themselves, which enabled them at all times to tell the state of the line, and to run their trains at any speed with the greatest safety. After some further statements of a similar description, not necessary to make public, the prcceedings terminated at a late hour. MEETING LAST NlGHT—(Sumer.) Last evening, the largest meeting which has yet been held of the engine -drivers and firemen who have seceded from the employ of the London and North Western Railway Company, assembled at the Railway Tavern, Hampstead road. J. BROWN was called to the chair at nine o'clock, and said the course he proposed to adopt was, to read a state ment which should go forth as the reply of the entire body of those who had quitted the service of the North Wettern Company to the allegations which bad been state ment : a_gainst them. He then read the following wing state- " Having seen a letter from Mr. Creed, the secretary of the London and North-Western Railway Company, reflecting upon the course which the enginemen and fire men of that company, who have left the line in conse quence of a dispute with Mr. MlConnell, thought it a duty towards themselves to pursue, most respectfully to state, in the name and on the behalf of those persons, that they took every possible means for preventing the result which has unfortunately occurred—viz., their se cesaion from the company's service. Though no looker in the employ of the company, we aro doing merely simple justice to ourselves by declaring that we offered, first, to submit the case to arbitration ; secondly, that the whole of the old servants of the company who were receiving Bs. per day offered voluntarily to have their salaries reduced to 7s. 6d. per day; and thirdly, that we would all be satisfied with the regulation of Mr. Geoch; on the Great Western Railway, being adopted upon the southern division of the London and North-Western Railway. Mr. Creed states that many of the ' old drivers and firemen have withdrawn their notice, and that others may be expected to follow the example.' Now, it is true that about twenty men did, through misrepresentation, withdraw their notices, but fifteen :in a , suffi cient w with unexceptionable of them, upon learning the tric k t h at had been prac tised upon them, recalled them , and determined to a dhere to their original notices to quit. It is with great regret number of w e observe a n that B. practisedl r.Creed e n s g t i a n te e s . ra , unexceptionable testimonials from their former em ployers, have been taken into the service, and employed in working the trains during the week.'

This statement was unanimously adopted. E. LETCHFORD, engine driver, upwards of ten years on the North-Western Railway, said ho had an important resolution to propose. It was as follows:—" That a deputation, consisting of Messrs. Brown, Allen, Mel bourne, and Woodley, be appointed to wait upon Mr Osborne, the Member for Middlesex, the Members for Marylebone, Mr. Hume, Mr. Wakley, and other Mem bers of Parliament, requesting them to inquire in the House of Commons of the Govethment, whether it is true that a number of men have proceeded from the Go vernment dock-yards to take the charge of locomotive engines on the London and North-Western Railway, and whether members of the Metropolitan Police hare been Pre orth ban' WAS uds, Men I nOt )aitSt to 0 S I3CI OW )0 I ife of •dens' f W' rshs ll Cole, [aUll", ter °' J.
