THE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE S W DLNNER. Last evening the anniversary festival of the Smith field Cattle Club was celebrated at the Freemasons' Ta vern, Great Queen's-street, Lincoln's Inn fields, when about 250 gentlemen sat down to an excellent dinner. His Grace the Duke of Richmond, the President of the club, presided, and was supported by the Earl of Yarborough, the Earl of Chichester, Lord Wiliam Len nox, the Hon. C. Pelham, ;Sir Francis Law le), Meior- General Wemyss, as representative of his Royal High ness Prince Albert; ColonerSibthorp,, M.P., Mr. J. V. Shelley, Mr. T. R. Barker, Mr. 11. Wilson, Mr. J. Fisher Hobbs, &c. After the loyal and patriotic toasts had been drunk with the usual enthusiasm, The Noble CHAIRMAN gave, " Success to the Smith field Cattle Club," in a speech quite appropriate to the occasion. His Grace adverted briefly to the nature and constitution of the club, very effectively put forth its claims to public support, enlarged upon the importance of agricultural pursuits and the high degree in which an institution such as that over which he presided was cal culated to improve the breed and quality of cattle. It afforded him much satisfaction to notice the fact, that the premiums for 1849 could he paid without trenching on the subscriptions of that year. The award of the prizes was read, and their distribu tion proceeded with. General Wemyss, as land-steward to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, took the paizea gained by the Prince. The health of the Earl of Leicester, and the other successful competitors in the classes for oxen and steers; Mr. Mann, and the successful competitors in the cow and heifer classes; Mr. Wood, and the successful compe, titers in Iong•woolled sheep; Mr. S. Webb, and the competitors in the short-woolled sheep; and those i❑ the extra stock classes, were next proposed and responded to; and in proposing the successful competitors in the pig classes, the Noble Chairman gave the health of General Wemyss, as the representative of his Royal Highness Prince Albert. General fEsms, in returning thanks, assured the company that, as the manager of the agricultural affairs of his itoyal Highness, he took a deep interest in the welfare of the club. It was not etiquette to mention Ro)alty on public occasions of this sort, but he would venture so far as to assure his Grace and those around him that Prince Albert took a deep interest in all the proceedings of the Smithfield Cattle Club and in promoting the advancement of agriculture generally. The " health of the President" was given by the Earl of CHICHESTER, for which, of course, the Noble Duke re turned thanks. The CHAIRMAN next gave " the Vice-Presidents of the Club." The Earl of YARnoßouc responded to the toast, and the healths of the Earl of Chichester, Lord William Lennox, the committee, stewards, judges, Mr. B. T. Brandreth Gibbs, the secretary of the club, and others, having been drunk and responded to, the proceedings terminated. THE STANFIELD - HALL MURDERS. Yesterday the aceu,ed James Blomfield Rush under went another examination before the Alagi.str.t.s,_ the examination being, as in the f ormer cases, strictly pri vate; and the result was, that the prisoner was again remanded. An electric telegraph dispatch which ap pears in the Norfolk News of yesterday, headed Frid a y, December 8, 1848, twelve o'clock, states, " Nothing important found. Mrs. Jermy and servant both, much better, but servant has frequent changes." The phrase " nothing important found " has reference to the search made on the premises and elsewhere fur fire-arms or any other materials which may tend to solve the mys tery which at present hangs over this distressing case. Inquiries have been made in the gun-shops in Norilich ants the metropolis, in the hope of ascertaining where the deadly instruments were purchased; but up to the latest advices, the efforts of the police have been unsuc cessful. Some wtaring apparel, &c., taken at Potash Farm have been removed ,to the Bridewell fur security. The witness Solomon Savery has also been removed to Bridewell with the same object; and thus matters re main at present. THE RECORDERSHIP OF Nonwrca.—This, office, which was recently vacated in so sudden and horrible a manner by the murder of Mr. Jenny, has been giverilb Mr. Prendergast, of the Norfolk Circuit. We have reason to believe that this appointment will give the greatest satisfaction both to the members of the bar on the circuit and to the inhabitants of Norwich, where the Learned Gentleman has been long known for his pro fessional attainments. We believe that the Recorder ship of Bedford, lately held by Mr. Prendergast, will be given to Mr. Burcham, of the Nortulk Circuit.--7 lines. MURDER OF AN AGED FEMALE.—A singularly atrocious and cool-blooded murder was perpetrated on the night of Saturday last, at Taphouse, in the parish of Tedburn St. Mary, Devon. The victim of this un provoked and wanton outrage was an old and decrepid woman, named Grace Holman, who, it appears, for many years past, bad been a servant or nurse at Great Fullford House, but had been lately residing in a cottage at Taphouse, without any attendant or means of defence against the attacks of those to whom her unprotected state might be an incentive to crime. It appear:, that she was last seen on Saturday night, about half past six by a man of the village, a thatcher, who, having taken tea with her, left her in her accustomed health, nor was there any knowledge of her having been murdered until, upon her not being seen at her usual time on Sunday morning, suspicions were excited, which led town entrance being forced into the house, and the truth ascertained. The deceased had evidently been smothered, by the pressure of a trunk or chest, in the room, on her bosom. The perpetrators of this deed of darkness, whoever they were, were very systematic in their method of proceeding, for they had taken the precaution, in case of an alarm being raised, to obstruct, by means of a gimblet pieced through the door-post and door of an adjacent cottage, all egress from it. Up to this time, no clue has been found .as to the culprits, although all care !is being exerted for their discovery. In the same parish, the night before, the farm house of Mr. Wellington was entered by five men, who having paid their respects to the various rooms and cupboards, loaded.theinselves with spoil, and well nigh murdered the inmates, took theni selves off and hav e as y et escaped undetected .—Sherborn; Journal.s been rumou re d d uring the past week, th a t t in consequence of th e d ar i ng pitch to w hich the pirate on the coast of M orocco have carried their lawless avo s cations, as specially evinced in the seizure of the British merchant vessel, Three Sisters, Majesty's steam. sloop Polyphemu:,ectahpeturßerdi tisbhy naval Commander.in-Chief in the Mediterranean has been in structed to visit Tangier, for the purpose of demanding satisfaction from the Emperor of Morocco. Now, at the present juncture of affairs on the Italian coasts, we can not see how it is possible that Sir W. Parker can quit the neighbourhood of Naples and Sicily. for even so short a time, without seriously perilling British interests; and we trust, therefore, the Gallant Admiral will have discretion enough to take upen himself the responsibi lity of remaining where be is. We would, however, suggest, as it is imperatively necessary a check should at once be given to the piratical expeditions of the Moors, that it would be more advisable that the squadron under Sir Charles Napier should be dispatched from its snug anchorage at . Spithead by the first fair wind, or by the aid of the steamers attached to the squadron, to call the Emperor of Morocco to an immediate reckoning?

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Heads of households desirous of being in possession of a Family Medcine suitable for any emergency of illness, or as a valuable preventive of disease, will do well to obtain Worsdell's Vegetable Restorative Pills, prepared by John Kaye, Esq., of Dal ton-hall, near Huddersfield. Many hundred tamilies testify to their excellence. The following has just come to hand:—" We have used Kaye's Worsdell's Pills at different times during the last three years, and have pleasure in recommending them as a safe and salutary medicine in cases of inward pain, weakness of StolllsCh, or want of energy in the system, and improving the ge neral health. We also consider them an excellent me dicine for children of all ages, having used them in our own family with great awe. ss.

BEDFORD -SQUARE, LONDON.. N0.17,537.] LONDON, SATURDAY 3 VENING - , WEST RIDING ELECTION. TO the ELECTORS of the WEST RIDING of YORKSHIRE. Leeds, December 4, 1848. Gentlemen —I should not have addressed you again so soon merely to report progress. My friends deem the result of our first week's proceedings highly satisfactory, but I have such important communications to make to you on matters of principle that I will not waste your time by anticipating the poll. My object is to de serve success, even more than to obtain it. Imputatlons of rancour towards Catholics were made against me at the beginning of the contest. No one has at tempto,l to substantiate this imputation at any of tho meet ings which I have attended. With my • controversies on purely religious topics, Electors feel they have no con cern. The only question with them is, have I ever proposed, abetted, or contemplated injustice to any class of religionists? If so, let it be proved. lam ready to demonstrate that I have used no arguments about the contemplated endowment of the Roman Catho lic priests which they would not be perfectly welcome, if our position was reversed, to use against me. Henceforward, if men of honour think fit to assail me on this point in my absence, I am sure they will have the manliness to try to substantiate it in my presence. I am ready to meet them, in fair argument, on the day of nomina tion. I only ask to receive beforehand a written statement of the imputation against me, and of the facts by which it is thought to be sustained. Failing such proof, I call upon all friends of Civil and Religious Liberty to support me. I call on them to be as true to their princi ples as my opponent is to his. Mr. Denison, at Halifax, on Satur day, declared that he should, upon principle, have voted against Mr. Fitzwilliam, as an adv.cate of the endowment of the Irish priests. Liberals of all classes and of religions, be not outdone by a Con servative in fidelity to your convictions. You desire equality for all religions, and that is my desire too. I will not be a party to en dow the Roman Catholic church, neither will I consent to pay out of the public purse additional Colonial Bishops of the Church of England. Mr. Denison said on Saturday, that he concurred in a system of National Education based upon religion, but that he disap proved aiding the Roman Catholic schools, unless on condition that the religion taught their should not be the religion of their own teachers 1 I can only express my astonishment at such a de claration. On the broad ground, then, of principle, I appeal to the Liberil Electors of the West Riding not to be-ashamed of their colours. Let Toryism hoist false flags to lead the Unsuspicious to believe that it has changed. Let it lower the " Blue" standard, to which even its enemies never refused the name of " true," and let it hold forth the white flag of a hollow and dishonest truce to men 'who wish to be deceived ! But let those who have inherited from their ancestors the principles and the symbols of liberty, rally round the Orange standard I Best assured that, of all impolitic things, a hollow co alition is the most impolitic. The party which adheres to principle is the only one which can count upon success, because it is the only ono which deserves it. I am, Gentlemen, Your faithful and obliged servant, C. E.

THERE is a double use and purpose in the NICOLL, or PATENT CHLA3ITS PA LETOT, in other words, the same garment can be used as a warm winter Overcoat, and will look equally well as a light Paletot (usued In walking, &c.). indeed, for the latter purpose it represents the popular and fashionable Registered Paletot, which, when it is desirable to form into a warm winter garment, the same is transformed into the Nicholl, by the simple addition of a wadded interlining, which is in corporated with the lighter Coat in a most perfect and original manner; this can be attached or detached without the least trouble to the wearer. A most moderate price is flxed for these two garments in one, viz., Three Guineas. It has been secured from Imitation by Royal Letters Patent, and can be had in London only, of Messrs. Nicoll, 114; 116, 120, Regent street, and 22, Cornhill. 3/1 EMBERS of the CLERICAL, LEGAL, and MEDIC,IL PROFESSIONS, it is presumed, will a ll readily concede their patronage to the new patented iavention called THE NICOLL, inasmuch that, besides its soberness of colour (a black, or almost invisible green, or dark blue), and unpretending appearance, it is the only garment extant which presents to geitle men thus engaged a proper defence against the ills arising from a variable climate (the origin of colds, &c.) To these it is said profes sional men are more susceptible than others, arising from close study, and their otherwise general sedentary habits ; now should the morning atmosphere be mild or warm, and the latter part of the day cold, the Nicoll is a garment that will provide for both contingencies. How thisis effected is more fully described, with the prices, in one of the accompanying advertisements. TO MERCHANTS, STOCK BROKERS, UNDERWRITERS, &c., going to or returning from the City, r s also all others requiring a warm wrapper or overcoat morn.. ings and evenings, but whose bustling avocations during midday, by inducing a proper circulation of blood, the possession of a lighter Paletot would then be desirable, as too often the case, the said warm coat is suddenly thrown aside, and much risk to bodily health in curred. The price of this garment is given in the annexed Adver tisement ; but it can only be had in London, of the Patentees, Messrs. Nicoll, 114, 116, 120, Regent-street, and 22, Cornhill. RAILWAY TRAVELLERS pronounce the NICOLL or PATENT CIILAMYS PALETOT to be indis pensable to their comfort upon a journey for the five following reasons:— First—lt is a warm overcoat. Secondly—lt can be converted Into a light overcoat at the journey's end. Thirdly—lf travelling by night (or even in the day-time) when an ordinary hat is irksome, a portion of the lining (which is perfectly concealed till required) can then be brought out, and by a ready and most simple contrivance, can be converted into a graceful cap or hood, which effectually protects the head, ears, neck, from cold draughts of air. Fourthly—lt has a pocket protector, which, as its name would in dicate, preserves from loss the railway ticket or loose cash, &c. The last, though not least, important distinction presented by the Nicoll, beyond anything of its nature ever laid before the public, consists in its moderate price, already submitted in anothor adver tisement (to which add half a guinea for the Chlamys Hood). In deed, was not the sale of thousands contemplated, Messrs. Nicoll would lose rather than be fairly remunerated by the low prices quoted. AGENTS for NICOLLS' PATENTS.—AII those Firms throughout the varioas parts of the United King dom and the Colonies, who, up to the present time, hare held a local Agency for the Sale of the above Patentees' original and popular in vention called the REGISTERED PALETOT, Ste., will also hold the appointment for the sale of all the new Patents, subject to the usual conditions. _ _ Gentlemen, Non-Ttesidents in the Metropolis, nre constantly de siring that a mode of self-measurement should be published, as also the addresses of the Country Agents.

DERBYSHIRE, STAFFORDSHIRE, AND IVOR CESTERSHIRE; • The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Thursday, at the office, Cornbill; Mr. J. Mee Mathew in •the chair. On the motion for affixing the seal of the company to the register of proprietors, a long discussion ensued. Mr. WESTON contended that two of the former direc tors, who had signed the deed for a large' number of shares, should not have been let off without paying the calls upon those shares for which they had signed. He wished now to have. the resolution rescinded which was passed at their last meeting in June, authorising their names, with others, to b e ex p unge d f rom t h e li s t o f re gistered proprietors Dr. MACKENZIE, the secretary, explained that al though those gentlemen s u b scr ib e d t h e i r names to t h e deed s they never paid the deposit, neither did they re ceive any scrip or shares, therefore they could not pro perly_ be placed on the register. After some severe remarks on the 'manner in which the affairs of the company had been` conducted by the former board, a sum of. 9,0.004 of the co m p an y' s f un d s having been sp en t i n buying shares and " rigging " the market, it ,was stated that the former board passed a re solution exonerating the two directors who had signed the deed from , all responsibility, they having done So with the view of completing the subscription contract to go to-Parliament. The Simla .the company was then affixed to the re gister, and a resolution was agreed to . , - rescinding that passed at the-last meeting with reference to the omission of Certain names from the register. This resolution was carried by the casting vote of the chairman. The. SEcRETARY stated that the number of share: men tioned in the prospectus was 20,000, the number signed for in the deed above 14,000, and the number registered, for which sealed certificates had been issued, 11,500. He then read the report, which stated that, since 'the meet ing in June last, the directors have been endeavouring to obtain payment of the call of 11. per share, to enable them to discharge the debts owing to the engineer and others, for services incurred in obtaining the Act. The board first caused a letter to be written to every defaulter by the chairman, afterwards anoth er let ter was addressed t o th em b y the secretary, and subse quently. a third by the solicitor, but very few sharehold ers responded, and the board were consequently driven to law proceedings against a considerable number of shareholders, two of whom defended the actions and went to trial; the company obtained verdicts in both cases. The directors regret to add, that after incurring the expenses incident to these two trials, they have not succeeded in obtaining from the defendants payment of the debts and costs, one having become a bankrupt and the other an insolvent. The directors, in consequence of the delay in getting in calls, have not been enabled to collect a sufficient sum to discharge the heavy debts in curred by their predecessors. Those debts have been very considerably reduced, and with the monies still re maining to be received from shareholders in Scotland and others whom it is believed are solvent, it is the intention of the board as fast as assets shall come in, to use the same in still further reducing such debts. Claims have been made by solicitors against the company which the board, after taking legal advice, felt themselves justified in resisting. The action brought by Mr. Serrell for the cheque of 4201., taken by one of the late directors for his services is still pending, and may be brought to trial speedily. The directors have used their utmost endea vours to arrange the various complicated questions con nected with the company which were left unsettled by the late board. They have taken measures to reduce the expenses to the lowest possible scale, they have not incurred any new debt or engagement, and nothing had been expended that could possibly be avoided. The accounts from the 15th of May to the 22d of No vember showed that 2,5931. had been received, including 781. from the last account, and that 2,149/. had been ex pended in payment of accounts and office expenses, leaving a balance of 444/. at the bankers'. The CHAIRMAN, on moving the adoption of the report, adverted to the disagreeable position in which the di rectors were placed in taking legal proceedings against the shareholders, many of whom were their personal friends. He said they were all particularly indebted to their colleague, Mr. Wintour Harris, for his unwearied exertions in reducing the amount of the law bills. Mr. HARRIS, in reply to questions from Mr. Weston, stated that the gross amount of the late solicitor's bill of costs was 23,400/.; he had been paid 10,6401.; and the gross disputed balance was 12,0001. Mr. M`Gregor claimed 1,7161.; Mr. Smith, 2,8401.; and Sir J. Rennie, 2,0001., which were all disputed. The SECRETARY said he believed the whole of these claims would be disposed of for 2.5AR1 Mr. WINTOUR HARRIS, at some length, explained the unsatisfactory nature of the solicitor's charges, which had been for some time under taxation. The local agents had sent in claims to the company for sums which were included in the solicitor's bill. It had taken him a fortnight to go through all the items contained in the bills of costs. Mr. DUNNETT remarked that many of the items ob jected to could be easily explained. Resolutions were passed adopting the report, re electing Mr. Mathew, and electing Mr. Weston a director in consequence of his local knowledge and representing a considerable number of shareholders. It was stated that they had made arrangements to re duce the rent of the office from 1001. to 40/. per annum; and as the secretary was going to an appoi n t ment i n t h e north, they would be' enabled still further to reduce their office expanses. After a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors, he meeting separated. IMPORTANT TO RAILWAY COMPANIES AND THE PUB LIC.—A very important discovery has just been made by Messrs. W. D. Wells and J. Broadfield, surveyors of Kidderminster. It consists of a new and successful mode of communication, to be attached to every description of railway carriage, so that in case any one of them should break away from the rest on the line, it would imme diately communicate the fact .to the engine -driver, by blowing the steam-whistle on the engine. This can also be done by the guard at any moment. In principle it is self-acting, and is entirely removed from the control of the passengers: simple, efficacious, and cheap in its ap plication and construction, it can be attached with great facility and saving of time, and in case of breakage can be restored to its proper action again by the guard in one moment and the simple cost of a few pence. The above named parties are in possession of a number of model carriages, showing the principle of action throughout.— Worcester Chronicle. NOVEL MODE OF PROPULSION ON RAILWAYS.---A correspondent informs us:—" On Monday last, a meet ing of gentlemen interested in railway engineering took place at the residence of Mr. Bartlett, in Maidstone, Kent, when Mr. John Weston, of London, explained the principles of his patented mode of propulsion. These may be very briefly summarised. Mr. Weston, by his system, combines the atmospheric with the locomotive principle of traction, and, in so far, differs from previous inventors, that be uses " the waste steam," instead of air, for his propelling power. His tube, instead of being placed on the ground between the rails, is affixed to the axles of the carriages, and the impetus is communicated by a series of stationary pistons, placed along the road at distances equal to the minimum length of trains. This, in the first instance, it is said, will effect a saving of at least 99 per cent. in the cost of the working tube, a matter of no small moment, when the experience of the Croydon and Portsmouth lines are referred to. The pistons with the tubes will be provided with self-acting valves, and stationary engines will be placed along the _line. Mr. Weston having fully explained the modus operandi, a series of resolutions were passed, approving of the inven tion, and pledging the gentlemen to extend, as far as in their power, all information upon the subject, WATERFORD AND LIMERICK RAILWAY.—The direc tors have resolved not to supply by any fresh appoint ment the vacancy in the secretaryship which will be caused by Mr. Saunders's retirement next March. By continuing with the present staff only, a saving of some hundreds will be effected. The line is worked by the Great Southern and Western, only twenty-five miles (or one-fourth) being opened, though three-fourths of the capital has been expended. The weekly receipts average about 3501.—Saunders's News Letter. The opening of the Sambre and Meuse from Mel chienne to Walcourt, the chief trunk communication from Belgium and Germany to the north-eastern pro vinces of France, took place ou Thursday last. The total extent of railway thus opened up from the Go vernment line at Marchienue to Walcourt, with branches to Monaline and Laneffe, is 25 miles, through the richest mineral districts of Bel g i um . The Belgian Go vernment have certified its fitness for opening, after in spection by the Minister of Public Works, the traffic in passengers and the staple products of the districts, such as coal, coke, and iron, which is very considerable; commenced on Saturday. Upwards of 3,000 tons of zinc ore, a mineral extensively worked at Samar' and Santour, near Philipville, were ready for conveyance to the banks of the Sambre, for smelting. The chief en gineering works are the Laury and Ham-our-Heure tunnels. The Sambre and Meuse is the first railway in Belgium of any extent conceded, constructed, and worked by British capitalists, all the other lines being the pro perty of the State. TORQUAY RAILWAY. --PLYMOUTH, DEC. 7.—The Government inspector of railways will, it is anticipated, inspect this railway on Saturday next, and it will most probably be opened on Monday. On 'Tuesday morning last a publi c meet i ng was held at the Union ball, for the purpose of taking into consideration the best means of celebrating the opening of the railway to Torquay. Col. Meyrick was called to the chair, the meeting was ad dressed by several gentlemen, and it was resolved that the town should be canvassed for subscriptions, to pro vide poor families with a few pounds of beef and bread on the day of opening. The directors and engineer are to be invited by a committee appointed to meet the iu• habitants to dine at the Royal Hotel. Although the meeting was small, upwards of 501. was collected for the bread and beef fund before the meeting broke up. The Great Northern Company, after a delay of some weeks, have recommenced the works at the curve which is to join their line with the Sheffield and Grimsby, in Humble Carr, and they have nearly effected a junction. —Lincoln Mercury.
