NI COL L' S CIILAMYS PALETOT. This is a new and patented invention, which might perhaps be better described as the vade mecum to the traveller by railway or steam-packet. It also maintains the Registered Paletot's character as a fashionable morning or out-door Coat by a general resemblance to this popular garment. The chief improvement consists in a con trivance called a Chiamys, a name given to an extra lining, which affords additional warmth to the chest and shoulders when worn in the street or on horseback in the usual manner of a Paletot ; but When it is intended to be used as a CIILAMYS PALETOT in tra velling, this extra lining, by merely fixing •ne button into a button hole, can be made to act as a comfortable cap or hood, effectually Protecting the head, ears, neck, and front, or upper parts of the Chest from draughts or cold currents of air. Not only will the probability of catching cold be diminished, but travelling by night will thus be divested 01 its chief inconvenience, as the we , rer of 151C01.L'S CIILAMYS PALETOT may enjoy a re freshing sleep, his hat or cap being hung up in the carriage or en tirely dispensed with during the journey, thus avoiding headache and Other uneasy sensations caused by its compression upon the forehead.

Poets, 'tis said, are rather fond of fiction, But your assertions challenge contradiction. MOSES and SON, you say, possess great merit As Artistes in the making of attire ; And, Sir, my commendation they inherit, For MOSES' dress I very much admire. They have a claim (and every day they show it) Not less than that asserted by their poet. All that you say of MOSES I rely on, Tour compliments on style and strength are due, There's not a garment that I fix my eye on, But proves good quality and cheapness too.

A lt K 1 A G E. 14 One half the wend are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution ani worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an comprising hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hi ndrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should. net be the only marriage set tlement.

MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY (DUBLIN !ice' MuemNomt).—The sixth half-yearly meeting of thee-- proprietors was held yesterday (Friday), at Dublin, „ and the report printed prior to the meeting stated tha t t the traffic had been carried on with great regularity, and that the accounts exhibited a steady increase in the receipts, the amount of the railway and the canal together being 24,697/., exclusive of a large amount of mail service performed at a remuneration which was now in course of arrangement with the Post- , office authorities. This, considering the depression in trade, was satisfactory, and notwithstanding this, the directors, owing to the cordial support of the pro proprietors, had carried on the continuation of the flub. to Mullingar, to which point it would be opened Monday next.; the 2d of October, completing the firm section of the main trunk to the west of Ireland, Rua which of course would afford a much better oppor tunity of developing the traffic than by thefornfer termini to places comparatively unimportant. - The Deviation Bill; from Mullingar to Athlone, had re ceived the Royal assent, thus completing the original undertaking in its integrity. The best efforts would, -- be made to reduce arrears of calls and economize tr expenditure in the coming half%year. The engineer ing and directors' expenses would be diminished. The report of the engineer, Mr. Hemans, stated that sir of Fairbairn's locomotives Were. ready to work Abe fifty miles extension, and that the working expenses - would not be more than usual. GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.—NOW that the line is open to Doncaster, the progress of the. Works on . the unfinished portions do not, probably, excite se much interest as they did previously. Nevertheless, we feel satisfied that all the inhabitants of the town, will be glad to see the whole of the projected railway-,-- ; communications to Doncaster completed, and will learn with satisfaction tLat the works are proceeding as vigorously as before. The pile-driving for the permanent bridge is not yet completed, but we un derstand that the works on the south side of the river will be sufficiently advanced for the laying of the first' • - - of the bridge will be seventy feet, and the bridge• itself will, we are informed, consist of a wrought iron tube, constructed on the plan of the Menai Straits bridge, in \Vales. It is, at present, being manufac tured at Manchester, from which place it will arrive here in a week or two. The bridge over the road to the marsh is all but completed; and beyond it, in the direction of the river, a platform is being made, to facilitate the erection of the bridge across the river. —Doncaster Chronicle.

At the Council Chamber, Whitehall, the 28th day of September, 1848, by the Lords of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council; Whereas by an Act passed in the last session of Parliament, intituled " An Act to renew and amend an Act of the tenth year of her present Majesty, for the more speedy removal of certain nuisances, and the prevention of contagious and epidemic diseases," after reciting that it is expedient when any part of the United Kingdom shall appear to be threatened with, or affected by, any formidable epidemic, endemic, or contagious disease, measures of precaution should be taken with promptitude, according to the exigency of the case, it is enacted, that, in Great Britain, the Lords and others of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, or any three or more of them (the Lord President of the Council, or one of her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, being one), may, by order er orders, to be by them from time to time made, direct, that the provisions in the said Act contained for the prvention of epidemic, endemic, and contagious diseases, be put in force in Great Britain, or in such parts thereof, or in such places therein respectively, as in such order er orders respectively may he expressed, and may, from time to time, as to all or any of the parts or places to which any such order or orders may extend, sub ject to revocation and renewal as aforesaid, every such order shall be in force for six calendar months, or for such shorter period as in such order shall be expressed. And whereas the United Kingdom appears to be threatened with a formidable epidemic disease, in consequence of the progressive advance of such a disease to the western portion of the continent of Europe, and a case has arisen for putting in force the provisions of the said Act : Now, therefore, it is hereby ordered by the Lords and others of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council (of whom the Right Honourable Viscount Paltnerston, one of her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, is one), in pursuance and exercise of the powers so vested in them as aforesaid, that the pro visions contained in the said hereinbefore-recited Act, for the prevention of epidemic, endemic, and contagious diseases, be put In force throughout the whole of Great Britain immediately from and after the date of this order. And it is further ordered, that this order shall con tinue in force for six calendar months, from and after the date hereof. C. C. GREVILLE. SPANISH TRADE.

In consequence of which, her Majesty was pleased to command that this opinion should be transmitted to the Department of Finance, in order that that Ministry might make known whether there was any difficulty to the putting the said arrange ment into execution accordingly;' to which, by Royal Order of the 17th July last, this Ministry has received the following reply :- 6 The Queen (whom God preserve!) is informed of your Excellency's communication of the 17th March last, inserting for the due resolution of this Ministry of Finance, the opinion gi ven b y the National Sanitary Council in the expedient drawn up in conse quence of the refusal o f the Administrator of Customs of Carthagene to consent to the trans-shipment of the cargo of the British brig Harby, which arrived at that port from Ibraila and Constantinople on the 21st No vember la,t, and which trans-shipment was allowed by the Sanitary Beard to be performed, at the petition of the captain of the vessel and his national consul, on ac count of I er being unable, through damages, to convey her cargo to the Lazaretto of Mahon, for which she was bound.' And her Majesty, in conformity with what is expressed by the Sanitary Council, and agreeably to the opinion of the Directory General of Customs and Tariffs, has been pleased to command, that ever y vesse l f oun d to be in the same state as the brig Harby, shall be per mitted to trans-ship the whole or part of her cargo, always on condition that no merca n til e t ransac ti on shdil intervene in the process, and that the vessel shalt be in an unfit state through damages to convey the said cargo to the proper;Lazaretto; the authorities of Sanity and the Revenue being required to proceed jointly, in order that the operation may be conducted with the necessary pre cautions for the prevention of fraud.' Which I commu nicate according to Royal Order transmitted through his Excellency the Minister of Government of the Kingdom, in order that in the cases which may occur to you, you should co-operate with the other authorities, so that the said trans-shipments may be performed according to the terms above indicated."

QTERILITY.—Whatever is unproduct ive is with k 7 out intrinsic value. Man and his Maker alike condemn that which " yields is fruit," and we find large tracts of land abandoned for the same reason thlt caused the barren fig tree to be cursed. This curse clings to Sterility in erery shape ; it brings upoi the earth famine. But the malediction breathes loudest and deepest into the ear •1 those of the human race who remain childless in a community which must altogether fail, without continual additions. Not only do such encounter the silent scorn or pity of their fellow creatures, but their own hearts condemn them ; wealth brings no consolation to the wifele... hogora —brines no return for the childless home. It is a remarkable fact that the unproductiveness of soil and species arises from similarity of calve. Some lands are the produce of vitiated strata that yields an offspring es unhealthy as itself. Others nurture in their juices the poison of minerals, which form the foe to vegetation. Others again lose value by being too early worked, before they are fit for cultivation, Some soils, originally fertile, become barren by excess of tillage; others are spoiled by unwholesome manures ; and others, again, by the want of perseverance and nerve In the husbandman. Mark the an: - logy ! Man also is too often vitiated by the parent from whom lie springs. Man is too often ruined by the indiscriminate use of mine rals, such as mercury, &c. Man also tries his constitution too ear,y, and ,Ivertasks it too late. Man, by unwholesome contact can also in fect his f-ame and, to render the comparison complete, man can render a naturally vital constitution unproductive through ignorance of his orga dzation and diffidence in his powers. Nor does the analogy cease here. The detriments to cultivation above detailed have diem recently se entirely overcome by modern improvement in agricul ture, that farmers are now enabled to produce crops almost from stone itself; and, in like manner, Sterility in the human race is now removable through the profound discoveries lit physic which enlighten the present age. In testimony of this, a volume has recently been produced which fills the heart with hope and is calculated to remove sterility altogether. It is from the pen of Messrs. J. L. CURTIS AND CO., consulting Surgeons, 7, Frith•street, So .

More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its influence, sr can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take plac, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as It before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent to the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, er the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment et important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable 1 Loving and beloved, he entails the mast miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled SELF-PRESERVATION, illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy. physiology, and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa tions on the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, By SAMUEL LA MERT, M.D., Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of Londe University of excesses, infection., Edinburgh, Licentiate of -apothecaries' Wall, , Honorary Member of the London Ilospital Medical Society, &c. This treatise is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and much neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob- , tanned the highest medical hon ours, is a guarantee for his profes sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat ment of these diseases. REVINW OF Till VICIR. La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are scenes is the drama of life which arc acted with no spectator but Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf into which such scenes must plunge him 1 In the book before us such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally, upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of I a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine." —United Kingdom Magazine.

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 29.—The duties remain at the low est point for all grain and flour. The arrivals from Ire land and coastways comprise 315 qrs wheat, 8 qrs bar ley, 480 qrs malt, 390 qrs oats, 1,631 loads oatmeal, and 103 sacks flour. From Canada there are no supplies; and from foreign ports 5,267 qrs wheat, 150 qrs barley, 950 qrs oats, 2,292 qrs Indian corn, 24 loads oatmeal, 670 sacks and 1,379 barrels flour. The exports amount to 1,572 qrs wheat, 4,223 qrs Indian corn, 532 barrels corn meal, 189 sacks and 623 brls flour. The weather is cold, damp, and gloomy. The trade has not been lively, but an improved demand has been experienced for low qualities of old wheat, both for local consumption and for shipment to Ireland, at fully previous rates; new is still neglected. Oats being scarce are rather dearer; and Indian corn is held with increased firmness. In all other articles the transactions have bean unimportant, without any change in prices. At this day's market there was a moderate attendance of both town and coun try dealers, and a fair consumptive demand for all de scriptions of old wheat at. last Tuesday's prices. New sold slowly, but 'ts , reistised for prime kiln dried Irish. Oats were scarce, and supported pre vious rates; but oatmeal was again Gd per load lower. Barley, Beans, and Peas were without alteration in value or demand. There was no improvement in the sale for Flour, and full prices were with difficulty obtained. Indian Corn was in considerable request, and 6d to 11 per 480 lbs dearer. Mixed American, to arrive, sold at 32s per 480 lbs for cost, freight, and insurance; on the spot at 35s per 480 lbs duty paid; sound yellow held for 375; and for yellow Indian Corn-meal 19s per barrel gene rally demanded. UPPINGRAM, SEPT. 27.—Wheat, per quarter, 47s to 565; Barley, 31s to 345; Oats, 20s to 28s; Beans, 42. to 445. SLEAFORD, SEPT. 25.—We had a fair supply of grain offering to-day; the buyers were for a reduction in price, owing to which ♦ery little business was done.

BOSTON, SEPT. 27.—At this day's market there was a fair supply of wheat, which experienced a slow sale at a decline of is to 2s per quarter, according to quality, on the prices current last week. Of Oats there was a moderate delivery ; but of beans the quantity on offer was very small. The former met with willing pur chasera at a decline of about is per quarter. The value of beans must be noted the same as previously reported. Wheat, red, per quarter, 45s to 52s ; white, 56s ; oats, new, 16s to 21s ; beans, 38s to 40s. SPALDING, SEPT. 26.—Our September cattle fair oc curring yesterday, and this being pleasure day, the transactions in the corn trade were limited. The trade in wheat was heavy at a decline of is per quarter. Oats were firm: But few beans upon the market; prices as before. LOUTH, SEPT. 27.—The harvest is almost completed in this neighbourhood, and in excellent condition. The potatoes are decidedly better than was calculated upon some few weeks past, and most probably the price will not be maintained at which they are now selling—via., 6d to Is per peck. There is a fair quantity of wheat offering to day, for which the demand is good, at a de cline of is per qr. from last week. Barley is in short supply, and for good parcels late rates are maintained. In oats or beans no alteration. Wheat, red, 46s to 52s ; ditto, white, 50s to 56s ; barley, 28s to 33s ; oats 17s to 21s ; beans, 40s to 48s ; peas, 36s to 38s.

SEPT. 27.—We had a very large market to-day, but the buyers and sellers were divided into two companies, part being in the usual place (the market place), and the other part in the new Corn Exchange, which has this day been occupied for the first time for the transaction of business, and although in a very un finished state the attendance was numerous. A fair quantity of wheat was sold, at a reduction of is to 2s per qr. Red wheat, 53s to 565, white ditto, 56s to 595; malting barley, 29s to 345; oats, 28s to 30s; beans, 403 to 448 per qr. Butter, ild t. 13d per lb; eggs, 20 for Is. There has been a very large show of stock in our market to-day, and a good demand at full prices. OAKHAM, SEPT. 25.

DONCASTER, SEPT. 28.—Our supply of wheat this morning was small for the season; fine old and dry new supported last week's rates, middling qualities of new rather lower, and at the close of the market very little remained unsold of any description. Oats unaltered in ' value. Beans slow sale at previous rates. New malting barley is cheaper; grinding also rather lower, with very little doing. Wheat, new, 18s to 21s; fine 20s to 225; old, 19s to 21s; fine, 22s to 235; blend-corn, 14s to 17s; fine, 19s; rye, 12s to 13s; fine, 14s; beans, 12 to 13s; oats, fine, 15s to 17s; peas, white, 14s to 15s; peas, grey, 12s to 13s per three bushels. Oats, new, 20s to 225; fine, 235; old, 21s to 235; fine, 24s to 255; barley, 29s to 31s; fine malting, 33s to 36s 6d per qr. - HULL, SEPT. 26.—,We had for this day's market, a; good supply of wheat from the farmers, both new and old, the former not in so good condition as of late; both sorts were dull sale at 2s decline. No progress made with foreign, even at this reduction. Altogether we had a dull market. All kinds of spring corn are exceedingly flat, and to effect sales lower prices have to be taken. LEEDS, SEPT. 26.—We were well supplied with wheat, of other articles the arrivals are small. The de mand for wheat is not extensive, and prices are is per quarter lower than on Friday, but holders are not dis posed to press sales. Barley goes off slowly, prices as before. Beans, oats, and other articles, do not alter in value. SELBY, SEPT. 25.—Wheat, 21s; maslin, 19s 9d; beans, 16s 3d per load; oats, 21s; barley, 34s 61 per quarter. DEVIZES, SEPT. 28.—There has been heavy rain throughout the morning, which has very much limited the amount of business in our market. We had a large supply of both old and new wheats—the former scarcely realized last week's prices, and the latter was from Gd to Is a sack lower. But little barley exhibited. Vetches are in better stupply than last week, but maintain former quotations. Best white wheat, 30s to 31s 6d; best old red wheats, 29s to 31s; second ditto, 23s to 245; third ditto, 22s to 235; new ditto, 21s to 285; beans, 20s to 235; peas, 19s to 21s; flour, 445 to 52s per sack. Best bread, Is 2d per Blbs. WAKEFIELD, SEPT. 29.—The supply of wheat is large, a great proportion of which is newly released foreign, and for this description there is a steady sale at last week's prices; the condition of ne w i s much affected by the present damp weather, but dry parcels maintain their previous value. Barley is is per quarter cheaper. Oats and shelling meet a slow demand at late rates. In beans and other articles no change. BANK OF ENGLAND. (From last night's Gazette.)

MARSHALL, Chief Cashier. r. 1848. Dated the 28th day of Septeml DRIED FRUITS.—The arrival of dried fruits of various descriptions from the south of Europe and else where have commenced for the season, and are taking place in very considerable quantities. The importations of such articles last season were not nearly so extensive as during some previous years, but we have good reason 'to know that the supplies of dried raisins and currants this season are expected to be very large, and that nu merous and extensive cargoes of these important kinds of fruits are now on their way to this country. The fact of an extensive crop and consequently large supply of raisins, end particularly currants, is of great import ance to a large portion of the community for culinary and other domestic purposes. The firm of Messrs. Kelsalls and Co., of London and Calcutta, which was compelled to suspend payment on the 10th of June last, has been reconstituted under the name of Kelsalls, Hoare, and Co., and will forthwith resume its usual business. The new partners are Messrs. E. C. Buxton and Richard Hoare, the latter of whom is on his way to India.

ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR• Yesterday the Livery assembled in the Guildhall for the purpose of electing a Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. The REcouDER having stated what constituted the legal qualifications of a candidate for the high office of Lord Mayor of Ldndon, took the opportunity to allude in a particular manner to the conduct of the present excellent chief magistrate, who, at a period which called for extraordinary exertions for the pre servation of the peace, had shown that he was admi rably adapted to the emergency, and performed the duties delegated to him in such a manner as entitled him to the warmest 'thinks of the community. — (Cheers.) He was happy that the choice which the Livery had made on the Inst occasion could be selected _ _ _ _ as a guide to the business of the present day, and he would conclude by stating that the constituency were not limited as to the appointment of an individual to fill the office, as they could choose from the whole list of the magistrates of the city of London who had served the office of sheriff. The Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Recorder then retired, leaving it to the Livery to return two alder men to the Court of Aldermen. The Commox SERGEANT then read the names on the list, and Aldermen Sir James Duke and Farn comb were, upon a show of hands, declared by the Sheriffs to be elected. The Sheriffs then proceeded to the Court of Alder men, and upon their return to the Hall, The RECORDER announced that the election had fallen upon Sir James Duke, Knight.—(Loud cheers.) Sir JAMES DUKE, upon being called upon to take upon himself the office, came forward amidst great applause. He trusted that the Livery would believe him to be sincere when tie assured them that he was overpowered by his feelings of gratitude at so nu merous an assemblage of his friends upon what might be considered a mere matter of ceremony. Although there was none of the rivalry which had unfortu nately existed for some years to be seen, yet his friends had come forward to express their kind feeling upon the occasion of his election. He was not unconscious of that favour, he assured them. —(Applause.) Of the responsibility of the duties of the office to which he had been chosen he was per- fectly aware ; and with the assistance of his brother magistrates and the support of his fellow-citizens, he trusted he should be able to discharge them to the satisfaction of the public. It was now twelve years since he had received the approbation of the citizens of London for his performance of the duties of the shrievalty ; since which time he had been elected alderman of the largest ward in the City, the pre sence of so many of the constituents of which, upon the present occasion, testified to the satisfaction his exertions had given.—(Applause.) He trusted that he should uphold the rights and privileges of his fellow citizens. He promised to sustain the hospita lities of the mayoralty to the utmost of his ability, to he acces-ible upon all occasions, and he protested that he did not think he could adopt a better example, in performing all the duties of his distinguished office than was afforded to him in the conduct of their pre- sent excellent chief magistrate.—(Loud cheering.) Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR came forward to move a resolution of thanks to Messrs. Cubitt and Hill, the late sheriffs, for their conduct during the past year. Nothing that he could say would add to the impres sion which the exertions of the late sheriffs had made upon the citizens. They had been distinguished for assiduity, generosity, benevolence, and hospitality, and they had contributed to give efficacy to the successful labours of the chief magistrate.—(Cheers.) Mr. JOHN WOOD seconded the resolution, and said the late sheriffs had rendered effective aid to the chief magistrate when extraordinary exertion was neces sary to preserve the peace of the City.—(Cheers.) The resolution was passed unanimously amidst cheers. Mr. CIIBITT said that twelve months ago, when he was elected sheriff, he felt the occasion to be the proudest which had ever occurred to him. He had, however, he must acknowledge, always felt an anxiety as to the reception which he should meet at the con clusion of his year of office ; but the manner in which the Livery had just expressed themselves had completely settled that question to his satisfaction. — (Cheers.) He should now retire from office with his ambition fully gratified. He should seek no further honour, and was grateful for that which he had re ceived.—(Cheers.) Mr. HILL, in returning thanks, said that he and his colleague had, as they passed through office, asso ciated with men of all parties, and never had heard an unkind word from an individual belonging to any. Deputy STEvENs then came forward to propose a vote of thanks to their excellent chief magistrate.— (Loud cheers.) He never, he declared, had a more pleasing duty imposed upon him than that of calling upon the Livery to agree to a resolution of thanks to the Lord Mayor upon the present occasion, which was the only one it would be in their power to select previously to the retirement of his Lordship from an office which he had so admirably filled. He had wit nessed many mayoralties, but he had never known one in which the duties of the office had been more creditably, to the individual as well as to the city of London, performed. It was unnecessary to allude in a particular manner to that to which the whole population of the City bore testimony—his Lord ship's indefatigable exertions when the peace of the City was threatened.—(Loud cheers.) The Livery would most cordially vote a resolution of thanks to a man who had' acted with siich energy; judguient, benevolence, and hospitality.—(Cheers.) The resolution included the word hospitality. He was glad the fashion of that word was passing away. —(Loud cries of " No, no," and laughter.) Oh, he found he had made a mistake. Well, he hoped, at that rate, that there would be no abatement of the hospitality—(Loud cheers)—and he had no doubt it would be kept up in full vigour in the new mayoralty. —(More cheers.) The Deputy then read the reso lution of thanks. Mr. AMBROSE MOORE seconded the resolution. He assured the Livery that he felt the highest gratifi cation in having been selected to perform this duty ; for within his recollection, as an old citizen of London, no man was more deserving of the high approbation of his fellow-citizens than their present excellent chief magistrate.—(Cheers.) That the question was not not a party one, might be inferred from the fact that he (Mr. Ambrose Moore), a Tory, se conded the resolution moved by his friend, Mr. Deputy Stevens. His Lordship had acted to all parties in such a manner as showed that the power which the livery had exercised in this election was one of the most important nature, and that judgment was essential in the exercise of that power.—(Cheers.) His Lordship had done himself and his fellow-citizens honour at a time when the eyes of the world were fixed upon England, by maintaining the spirit and vigour of the law, at the same time that he supported the rights and privileges of his fellow subjects.— (Loud cheering.) If the resolution required any addition, it might be supplied by an acknowledgment of the peculiar modesty with which the Lord Mayor had uniformly conducted himself, as if he was wholly unconscious of his unquestionable merits. The resolution was then agreed to amidst shouts of applause. The Loan MAYOR came forward, and said he could truly declare that that day was one of the proudest days of his life, that he never appeared before the Livery under circumstances more gratifying to his feelings than upon the present occasion. He felt deeply the spontaneous manifestation which his fellow citizens had shown in thus expressing their approval of his exertions. It was a testimony of the credit which individuals who endeavoured to perform their duty faithfully were sure to receive.—(Cheers.) Upon entering on the duties of the office to which he had the honour to be appointed, he apprehended that he might be called upon to act on an emergency which might require the exertion of more talents than he possessed; but, as he proceeded, he found that with the aid of his brother magistrates and his fellow-citizens he was enabled to encounter and conquer every difficulty which presented itself, and he could congratulate the citizens of London upon the effectual preservation of the peace.—(Cheers.) He had stated that he was apprehensive of some difficulty, but he knew that he should have the spontaneous assistance of his fellow citivns ; and he heartily congratulated them upon the energetic performance of their duties on the 10th of April, and subsequently, when they proved their determination to uphold the liberty and privileges of their fellow-subjects, without sanctioning the invasion of any of the constitutional bulwarks which our an cestors had handed down for our protection.—(Loud cheering.) lie had but a short time to continue in office, and he trusted that nothing would occur in the interval to endanger the public tranquillity; but if any fresh occasion should arise, with the same assist ance and the same energies, he had no doubt the result would be as successful.—(Loud cheers.) His Lord ship concluded by passing a high compliment upon Sir James Duke; and The hall broke up, after it was resolved that all the resolutions should be advertised in the public papers, and that copies, emblazoned, &c., should be presented to the Lord Mayor and the late Sheriffs. COURT OF ALDERMEN. A court was held after the election of Lord Mayor. Alderman COPELAND gave notice of a motion of an alteration of an important kind as regards weights and measures. He stated that the most extraordinary instances of deception and imposition had been re cently detected. THE GAOL SYSTEM. Alderman SIDNEY gave notice of a motion for the appointment of a committee to inquire into the ques tion, whether any improvement could be made in the system observed i❑ the City gaols, a subject, he ob served, of great importance at the present moment, in consequence of the building of the new prison at Holloway. A report was brought up, recommending that the application by petition from the Carmens' Company for the grant of a livery be granted.—Agreed to. After several gentlemen were sworn in as brokers, the court adjourned. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. TITS COMMAND IN CHIEF OF PoRTSMOUTII.— Admiral of the Red, Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., Com mander-in-Chief of the Portsmouth station, having served the full term of his commission, will strike his flag this evening at sunset on board the Victory, in Portsmouth harbour, and yield up his command to his successor (Admiral of the Blue) the Hon. Sir T. B. Capel, K.C.8., whose flag will be:hoisteil at daylight to-morrow morning on board the Victory, and saluted by all the ships in commission included in the order. Of Sir Charles Ogle's command it is im possible to comment upon too gratefully, for no officer, however elevated his rank, or however extended his hospitality could have conducted the duties of his office, and distributed his bounty with more unsparing zeal and generosity than the distinguished officer whose period of command is now so near a close. Sir C. Ogle was appointed to the command of the Portsmouth station oa-the-30t 11- of Septemiler, 1845, then holding the rank of Admiral of the Blue; he subsequently attained the rank of Admiral of the White and Admiral of the Rt , d. No officer could be placed in more peculiar circum stances and times than Sir Charles Ogle; he has had to receive more royalty than any man before him, and his conduct has ever been such as to secure for him the marked respect of the Sovereign and the public. Admiral of the Blue, Sir Thomas B. Capel, K.C.8., was a lieutenant of 1797, commander of 1798, Captain 1798, rear•admiral of 1825, vice-admiral of 1837, and admiral of 1847. He is a Nelson hero; was lieu tenant and signal-officer of the Vanguard at the battle of the Nile ; promoted into the Mutine, and conveyed dispatches of that victory to England; was captain of the Phoebe at Trafalgar ; captain of the Endyinion, forcing the Dardanelles, 1807, and of the Hogue, on the coast of North America, 1812-14 ; gavqted 1798, 1805- From what we know of the cha r a c t e r o f Sir Thomas and Lady Capel, and of the estimation in which the one is held in the naval service, and the other in the domestic circle, we sincerely congratulate the people of Portsmouth upon having so eligible a successor to Sir Charles Ogle, whose brilliant example they will see will not be thrown away. FALMOUTH, SEPT. 28.—Lord Auckland, accompa nied by a full Board of Admiralty, arrived yesterday about noon in the Undine steamer, and immediately on landing proceeded to Pendennis Castle on an official inspection, it is presumed prior to a renewal of the fortifications and barracks of that citadel, and the establishment of a corps of infantry and artillery so as to form it into the chief depot of the county. This has been a measure long recommended and urged on the Executive from various quarters, and it would seem at last that it is likely to be carried out, as both the Marquis of Anglesea, as Master-General of the Ordnance, and the Board of Admiralty, have made personal visits of inspection within the last ' fortnight. The Undine made the passage from Plymouth in little more than three hours, and re turned thither in the evening. During their short stay their Lordships, accompanied by Admirals Sir W. H. Gage, Sir John Louis, and W. H. B. Trem lett, and a large party of ladies, visited the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Hall. On arriving at the en trance they were received by the President (Sir Charles Lemon), by Mr. Pendarves, M.P., and by the Committee of Management, and conducted round the hall to inspect the various articles in science and art which were lodged for competition and exhibition. The Dutch Government steamer Phcenix, Captain May, also arrived yesterday from Helveot, to coal, on her passage to Madeira and Batavia. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. BIRKENHEAD, LANCASHIRE, AND CHESHIRE. BIRKENHEAD, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.—Yesterday (Friday) the adjourned half-yearly meeting was held at the Town-hall in Birkenhead; Mr. Alderman Ban croft, of Manchester, in the chair. From the report, the consideration of which was postponed to the present meeting, it appeared that during the half-year there had been an increase in the traffic amounting to 8 per cent. on the receipts for passengers, and 20 per cent. for goods, as com pared with the corresponding period of last year. This would be materially increased on the fuller development of the Holyhead and other lines, in connexion with the Chester and Birkenhead. A saving had been effected to the extent of 4001. a year in the general expenditure. The capital account showed a receipt of 1,446,0001, leaving, after the expenditure, a balance of 119,3431. The revenue account showed a receipt for the half-year of 20,2141., leaving, after payment of expenses, a balance of 8,6261. The. CHAIRMAN said the only thing that had taken place since the last meeting had reference to an ar rangement that had been made by which the company were to bear an equal share of the expense of the erection and maintenance of all the stations. This they could not continue, as it was manifestly unfair that their line of fifteen miles only should contribute for this purpose in an equal proportion with the 200 miles of the North-Western, who wanted them to pay 60,0001. for the accommodation. Other arrange ments were on the tapis, which he hoped would be carried out equitably. The report, with the exception of that part re lating to the constitution of the board, was then adopted. A long discussion of no public importance followed relative to the election of directors. Upon a poll being demanded, the Chairman, amid much confusion, announced that, to relieve the shareholders from em barrassment, the directors would resign in a body. Ultimately a compromise was effected between the shareholders and directors. The following gentlemen were put to the vote and declared elected :—Mr. Bal leny, Mr. Howard, Mr. Camel, Mr. Brown, Mr. Tootal, and Mr. Rogers. The meeting then adjourned at half-past four o'clock, the Chairman stating that the negotiations for whichthe special meeting was convened were still undetermined. IRISH SOUTH-EASTERN. DUBLIN, FRIDAY.—The fourth half yearly general meeting of the shareholders was held yesterday in the company's offices, Kildare-street; Mr. J. E. Redmond in the chair. Mr. WiLsoN, the secretary, read the report. It stated that " the line from Callow to Bagnalstown, about eleven miles, was completed and opened, and that the directors had been enabled to effect it without calling on the proprietors for a larger amount than Si. a share. It was important to complete the line to Kilkenny without delay, but, considering the pres sure of the times, they wished to lean lightly on the shareholders. They had, therefore, limited the present call to 1/. per share, and had determined on proceed ing with the works towards Kilkenny with as much dispatch as the means at their disposal would admit. The works between Bagnalstown and the bounds of thedi directors sty wereof Kilkenny reulctant would finished .Ab in ou t t w 3 o i. more per share would enable them to complete to months, and ther e wou ld th en remain but nine miles to be compl e t e d i n or d er t o o p e n th e w h o l e line to Kilkenny, whi c h, if the directors were enabled to press forward with rigour, might be done in the next six months. Until the entire line was opened they. , could not expect the traffic to be remunerative, or the real value of the undertaking to be fairly developed. Arrangements had been entered into with the Great Southern and Western Railway for supplying the locomotive power and working the line, which would obviate the necessity of expending any part o f the capital of the company for the present for that pur pose. The directors had deemed it advisable t o sur render the shares they held for the improve ment of Wexford harbour to avoid responsibility and p a y ment of future calls. By a modification of the g eneral ex penses which would be adopted, a considerable saving would be effected in the outlay of the c om p an y . In terest at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, for the half-year ended Ist September, wou ld be p aid on all shares not in arrear. The acc o u nt of receipt and expenditure showed a receipt u p to last half. year of 31,103/., an expenditure ...if 23,065/., and a balan ce in hand of 5,0991." The CHAIRMAN, in rep l y to q uestions, said that within the last fortnight t he y had commenced carrying goods, &c. The prese nt recei p ts, with the line only partially opened, was n ot fair criterion of what they w ere to expect. Already the traffic paid ffic their work ing expenses on the se ction as y et o p ened. The 5/. per share had been p aid on 1,800 shares, which mi g ht be considered as bond fide.
