GENTLEMIN, Will the proposal to create Preference Stock in your Company, to the amount of 745,1801. at length open your eyes to the true cha racter of the policy pursued by your Directors ? Will you have the firmness to withstand them, and the courage to appoint a new Board to reverse the proceedings which have brought you to this plight, and to nurse your all but ruined enterprise ? I doubt if you will : for Shareholders are generally so supine, and so much at the mercy of Directors ; but, if you do not, then not ouo farthing of dividend will you ever receive, either upon the present Stock, or upon this proposed Guaranteed! I ! (by whom ?) Capital. Look for a moment at the position of your affairs, as shown by your own balance-sheets. Your directors' last account shows that, on the 31st of December, 1847, they had received and expended— and -kmt6l ised— e.

TAYLOR appeals to her Commercial Friends for a continuance of that kind support which for more than twenty years was accorded to her late husband. She begs to inform them that she intends carrying on the business at the CASTLE INN for her own benefit, and assures those who may ho. nour her with their support, that the same attention to their comfort and convenience w ill be continued as heretofore. Her whole atten tion will be given to assimilate the accommodations of her Esta blishment to the comforts of a private house. The CASTLE INN is situated in the centre of the City. Omnibuses and Conveyances to and from the Railway Station are always passing. The Commercial Room is admitted to be one of the finest in England ; it is lolly, airy, and spacious, and commands a fine view of the Castle and its envi rons.

At five per cent. per annum (f will not suppose that your Direc tors have paid a higher rate) this amounts to 5G,3551.

London, 36, New Broad-street, July 1, 1848. A WORD or TWO on PORT WINE, addressed to the British Public generally, but particularly private gentlemen, by JOSEPH JAMES FORRESTER (of the House of Oflleys, Webber, Forrester, and Cramp, of Oporto), author of " Surveys of the Wine Districts of the Alto-Douro," "Surveys of the River Douro," &e., &c.

Your Line has the disadvantage of steep gradients, and the expenses of mineral lines, such as the Wishaw and Coltness and Garnkirk, are notoriously heavy. On the other hand, your New Line has few stations, and not many trains, and that part should be worked with a sullen esta blishment and at little expense. I believe the average expense per mile per week of all the princi pal English lines considerably exceeds 3011; we will suppose yours not to exceed 201. per mile per week ; it is absolutely impossible that it can be less, or even so low. The length being 130 miles :- 130 X 20, or 2,6001. per week, or for 52 weeks 52 X 2600 .. is •• • • £135,200 Add to this the interest and guarantee as above.. 98,113 tough red to n this gsibss lent, to trictS ; clency. uld be 111 ' A R A E. One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em -I..itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice denaand that health should form an item M the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Illigisted hopes er neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises, concern you, procure Dr. COLYERWELL'S little MEMOIRS ' On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but tor the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or , ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other tittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims ho would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—tc live after nature's laws—and to keep always Jn the "sunny side of the way."

Now what revenue have you to meet this charge. The receipts since your line opened have not averaged 4,060/. per week. Take them at that amount for 52 weeks, which will give 208,0001. per an num, leaving an actual deficiency of 25,3131. from the sum necessary to meet working expenses, rent, and interest to bondholders. This looks very black, but you might hope for an increase of revenue sufficient at least to cover this, and, perhaps, to pay a small dividend on the 2,047,3621. share capital sunk in this con cern, you might hope, for instance, that the revenue would rise to 5,0001. per week; and if there has been no more capital ex pcuded since 31st December, 1847, this would leave a surplus of 26,6871., after meeting the deficiency shown above, which would actaaily give a dividend of almost 1 1-3 per cent. But here your Directors come forward with a proposal to create a perpetual pre ference dividend of 52,160/.1! ! It is true that this can never be paid unless your revenue rises to 6,0001. per week, but it effectually destroys the very remote chance you have of ever receiving one fraction of dividend on the Old Stock.

I have not taken into account any of the Guarantees your Directors have given in other lines, than those ever which your traffic is now passing. My statement supposes that the traffic on these lines will meet the Guarantees. But every one knows this will not be the case; they have guaranteed the Glasgow and Greenock 4 per cent., and the Perth, Dundee, and Arbroath 8 per cent. These lines have been open for some time, and aro not earning respectively more than one half the dividend proposed to be secured to them. Where is the balance to come from? Then there are the Guarantees of the Scottish Midland! the Scottish Central! ! the Neileton and Barrhead I! ! and many other trifles which need not he dwelt upon—and these, too, from a Company, which after threatening its Shareholders with the harshest proceedings, and scouring the money market in vain for help, has actually at this moment a circular issued to its creditors, requesting them, as the only mode of " keeping Bleu* railway open," IlKaisintreyttavriVorxycecp..yfir,y..plAlietr overdue b.l Is; aed interval ! from a Company which has actually stopped paymeiiii.T There never was such infatuated madness, even in tile railway world, as that exhibited by your Board. Your only chance of saving your line from utter ruin is by acting promptly now. Refuse to create this Preference Stock; change your whole Board; the Directors are, of course, all of them most respectable men, but have shown their utter incompetency for pru dent management. Appoint a new Directory; select men who will stop all needless and extravagant expenditure on new works—who will manage their line themselves, and not stoop to receive the dic tation of Agents and Engineers, and who will study to raise the ut most revenue from year legitimate traffic without involving you in ruluous guarantees and needless competition. If you take this course I would not yet despair of your retrieving your Line ftom utter ruin; your trade from Edinburgh and the north-east of Scotland must be considerable, and thus, by proper arrangements with other Lines, should be all your own, while you may fairly claim to divide that to London and the South. From Glasgow and the West you should have the entire English traffic. An arrangement could be made with your only competitor for this, by which you would mutually refrain from interfering with each other. In short, you should have a new administration, whose motto should be—economy, retrenchment, and peace; and if you appoint such an one, you may yet flourish. Maintain your present manage ment, and nothing can be hoped for you. July 7, 1848. ROYAL ACADEMY of ARTS. TRAFALGAR-SQUARE. LAST WEfK, scion. , like , lute. much ion a :here ity. ,WAY.

Could veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and Us true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are al wa y s injurious; the gill, which when c ased in moderation is f rau ght with advantage, becomes, when abused .tho prolific source of mischief and of greater or xcesses, less injur on y to the constitutional and vital po wers. The partic e the nature and consequence of which 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 the health end of the physical capabilities of which every man AIIOIII,I 5e possessed.

Member of the house of Commons, Mr. Ward, the Secretary of the Admiralty, stated that both the Treasury Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty and the authorities at the Post-office had all concurred in the expedkney of at once discontinuing her Majesty's steam -packets, which at present carry the mail between ilobbs Point, Waterford, and Drummore. This, when carried into effect, we have no doubt will give a most injurious check to the increasing respectability of Pea. broke Dock, and prove very detrimental to the interests of the several house-owners, hotel-keepers, and trades men in the locality. If instead, however, of removing these packets, a strict economy were to be observed in the several departments, and the passage-money also r , dduced (it bcing so high at present that few ;sty induced to visit the sister island), the packets might still remain, whilst the country would not have to complain of a reckless outlay of 32,0001., and a return of about . sQQ4- 1117c/ihnum.

Scrivaneck, a very smart young actress, who locks as well in boy's c l o th es as , her own; L; Loit d'Anesse, introducing M. Leungr in a most amusing part, that of a young roué, who pretends to be consump tive, in order to be introduced to the establishment of a doctor, who deals in ass's milk, in order to be near the latter's pretty wife; and the favourite comical affair of Les Egarements dune Canne et d'un Parapluie, acted with great spirit by M.

THE STATE APARTMENTS , prevent disappointment, WINDSOR CASTLE.—T o we think it well to mention that some of the rooms continue closed for the completion of the works. Four of them only are for the present shown to the public, on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thuradxys, and LYCEUM THEATRE. Last evening the grand extravaganza of Blue Beard was revived and performed for the first time at this theatre with eminent success. We always witness Planehe's productions with pleasure, because the eye is always pleased with the brilliancy of the scene without the ear being in the slightest degree offended by the low slang, miscalled wit, with which may of the burlesques of other authors abound. With Blanche the silvery shaft of satire never misses the mark aimed at, but strikes home and there remains, quivering from the force of its propulsion. Blue Beard was originally produced at the Olympic Theatre, when under the management of Madame Vestris, and its production at the Lyceum bids fair to eclipse its former success. Mr. F. Matthews sustained the part of Baron Abomelique, "surnamed Blue Beard, a celebrated l a dy-killer, who has obligingly ui.dertaken on this particular occasion to sing his own march," with much fun and humour. H. Hall, as ('Shack O'Back, was very good, and Selby, as Jolt Cceur, acquitted himself with his usual excellence. Miss Fitzwilliam, as Fleurette, deserves our warmest praise, her singine• was really beautiful, particularly the parody on the celebrated air from Robert the Devil, and " While pensive I thought of my love," which was sung with so much taste as to merit an encore. The other sister, Anne, was sustained by Miss J. Coleman with much ability. This young lady also possesses a sweet voice, and sang the music allotted to .her very prettily. Miss L. Marshall as Margot, who appeared for the first time here last evening, was very pleasing. We also had some very graceful dancing by Mr. and Miss Marshall, which was much applauded. The scenery and dresses, we need scarcely add, were magnificent. This revival has also proved a hit. The house was crowded. CREMORNE GARDENS. This tastefully arranged and admirably conducted suburban retreat is undoubtedly deserving of the patron age the public so liberally bestow upon it ; for, besides the healthful attraction of extensive and neatly laid out pleasure-grounds, bedecked alike with the beauties of nature and art, there are all kinds of musical, gymnastic, and acquatie entertainments. First on the programme is what is called an aquatic tournament—a species of amphibious sport, which the revolution has driven from France to seek admirers on the verdant, though some times muddy banks of Old Father Thames. It is beyond the skill of an ordinary descriptive pen to give an accu rate idea of this exhibition, but it will perhaps be enough tionary costume of Neptune — a - iither - myffiolu t „ deities of the ocean, go through a variety of manoeuvres and antics while floating on the water of the Thames, just above Battersea bridge, which are exceedingly droll, though absurdly extravagant. Next come the performances of a Tyrolean band, who are succeeded by the acrobatic displays of M. Silvani and his troop of somersault throwers,' and then follows a judiciously selected vccal and instrumental concert, conducted and presided over by the distinguished M. Laurent himself. And here we cannot avoid diverging for a moment to notice the singing of W. G. Ross, whose dramatic powers are really most refreshing. His songs are always of the most racy description, and he never fails to sing them with a gusto and humour that render theta irresistibly amusing. Subsequently to the concert a ballet of action is performed in the theatre, under the superintendence of Mr. J. W. Collier. It is called Le Diable de Buis, which, considering that the locale is sur rounded by lofty elms. is by no means inapplicable to the place. Mdlle. Louise Blanche, Mdlle. Rose, Mr. Collier, Mr. R. Rouser, and a host of coryphees, are the chief supporters of the ballet, which is got up and placed upon the stage with a minuteness of detail that would do no discredit to a first-rate theatre. Perhaps not the least feature of attraction at Cremorne, to many of its supporters, is the Casino d' Ete. The dancing takes place on a circular platform of extensive dimensions, and shut in by verdant trees, which give a very interesting and picturesque appearance to the spot. Order is main tained by six masters of the ceremonies, and those who delight to skip upon the light fantastic toe may here en joy a quadrille, a polka, or a valse, with as much ease and comfort as at Almeck's. Cremorne being contigu ous to the river, and widely separated from all buildings, is perhaps to be preferred as a summer place of amuse ment to even the far-famed Vauxhall itself. Certainly, it is more rural and countrified in its general aspect, while the entertainments are fully equal in quality to those of the Royal Property, and every body who visits the one should take care to see the other. Her Majesty and Prince Albert intend honouring the Lyceum Theatre to-morrow evening with their pre sence. The entertainments chosen are The Beggar's Opera and the burlesque of Blue Beard. HAYMARKET THEATRE.—Last evening the Adelphi company commenced a series of twenty-tour perform ances at this house, to give necessary time for the repair and decoration of their own establishment. The per formances consisted of the favourite drama of the Green Bushes, the burlesque of Norma, arid the laughable ex travaganza, Did you ever send your Wile to Camberwell? The House was well attended, and the performances re ceived with roars of laughter. ROYAL NAVAL BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.—The quarterly general court of this society was held yester day at the Thatched House Tavern. hear-Admiral Lord Radetock presided, supported by Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Malcolm, Captain Outram, inspector of hospi tals, Captain Bague, Captain Ross, and several other naval officers. According to the financial statement, the receipts for the past quarter, including subscriptions, donations, &c., amounted to 2861., and deducting the expenditure, a general balance of 6761. remained. It was stated that th e sum a t present received towards the liquidation of the legal expenses recently incurred in defending the action brought by Miss Hoare, amounted to 425/., not more than half the sum required. After some routine business, the meeting proceeded to con eider the cases for relief, when a sum of about 4001. was distributed aincingst the most deserving objects. THE LONDON COFFEE AND EATING -HOUS E KEEPERS' ASSOCIATION.—The half-yearly meeting of the friends end supporters of this institution was held last evening at Freemasons' hall, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn fields—Mr. George Chislett, the president, in the chair. From the report, which was read by the secretary, it ap- peared that the funded property of the institution, which last year was 1,9161.35. Bd., had been atignaented by the interest to 1,989/. Bs. lOd., which, with a balance in the treasurer's hands of 691. lls. 10d . ., made th e total amount 2,0581. lse. 9 d. The number of pensioner s on the funds was five. The report having been adopt e d , the presi dents and officers fir the ensuing half-year were e l ected; after which, the proceedings terminated. SUICIDE ON THE SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY.—On Saturday, the 15th of July, a policeman, named Far ley, who has been about six weeks employed at the new station, Ivy-bridge, destroyed himself whil e on d uty, by sitting on one - of the transoms of the railroad just previous to the approach of the 7 30 A.M. up- tr a in. The deceased selected a position on the Plymouth side of the Sl a d e Vi a d uc t, where there is a curve so short that command of the road cannot be had beyond a dis tanceit was therefore impessible of a few chains, and for the terrified engine-driver to arrest,he guard-iron the t ra i n i u thee to p reven t t h e f a t a l occurrence. r of the en g i ne s t ruc k F a rley's head, killed him instantly, and flun g hi s b o dy un d e r the carriages.

It is said that he was unsuccessful iu some attachment. I n hi s p o cket was found a w r i tten doeu ment full of scriptural allusions, and referring to his intended act of self-destruction. POTATOE regret to state th a t thi s scourge h as ma d e i ts a pp e arance in this neighbourhood— several large patches being completely blighted. —Cam brian. N 9 JULY 18, 1848. IRELAND. DUBLIN, JuLY,l6.—The threatened demonstration of the Dublin clubs, promised by the Nation for this day, did not take place. The object was to ascertain " the precise strength of the Dublin clubs." Much surprise was caused by the abandonment of the meeting ; but no cause is assigned unless a " difficulty in obtaining the ground for the assemblage." The police were on the alert, expecting the meeting : but they have escaped a day of toil, in watching the marchings and counter marchings of the Clubbists. PROSECUTION OF MR. T. F. MEAGHER. The Limerick Chronicle of Saturday contains the fol lowing : " Mr. Meagher last night addressed another crowd of persons from the windows of the house of Dr. Geary, J. P., George-street, where he had dined. He said the county Limerick grand jury had found true bills against him, that some of that panel, including the foreman, were members of the late Irish Council, which had advocated the national doc trines for which he is now to be tried as a felon. He adverted indignantly to the seizure of Mr. Gavan Duffy's property in Dublin, and designated our rulers as the Government robbers. He thanked the Government not withstanding fur sending him to trial to Limerick, where he had now found a secure and substantial footing. He cared not for the Court, the Government, or the army. and he entreated the people of Limerick to organize and increase the clubs, now becoming of universal formation throughout Ireland. Let them never forget the tens of thousands of their kindred and countrymen starved to death by English misgovernment, and mouldering in untimely graves; and resolve never to suffer the glo rious harvest of this year to pass out of their hands at the peril of adding to the human sacrifice of the last two years. " This unseemly display, by a gentleman in Mr. Meagher's singular position at this assizes, took place in a street nearly opposite the judge's lodgings, and cer tainly within hearing of their Lordships. " This day, at twelve o'clock, Mr. Meagher appeared in court to plead to the indictment, and he then traversed in prox until next assizes." It is stated that the new poor-rate, upon the Kilkee division of Kilrush union, amounts to 17s. in the pound, upon the valuation ! SLIGO ELECTION. Mr. Somers is once more member for Sligo borough. He was declared the sitting member on Friday evening. At the close of the poll Somers had a majority of 12 over Hartley, and of 15 over Ball. Mr. Hartley is to petition against the return, and it is stated that som e electors of the borough are to petition for a general inquiry. CRICKET. bIARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND v.SURREY CLUB AND GROUND. This was the return match between these clubs, and it will bo seen that the former had a comparatively easy victory.

American, 3id. to 54d. per lb.—Shares closed very firmly, and holdeix again asked higher rates. Although we have sedulously brought under notice the general advantages of emigration, we conceive that it is the duty of every one who writes upon the subject to prevent so important a boon being brought into disre pute by want of foresight on the part of the individuals proceeding to the colonies, or by the interested pro ceedings of parties inducing them to pro ceed to certain localities. All the colonies have their advantages, and afford a choice unlimited almost, of climate and pursuits. At the same time the United States offer a home to thousands who do not object to seek their fortune under other than British rule. In the case of emigration to the States, however, our Government is manilestly incompetent to interfere, and hence the inexperienced and too-confiding emigrant is enticed to pay money to parties here for promised advantages on the other side of the Atlantic. The purchase of lands not worth a farthing to an European is a frequent case, and one which, from cer tain advertisements just inserted, we fear is likely to occur now again to some extent. Let parties beware, and if they do not have recourse to the Government agents, take at least the counsel of some disinterested person. It is madness to buy lands of anonymous parties, whether professing to act for themselves, or in a body, as a company. There is very little news to-day, and the fine weather is almost the only matter spoken of. Its influence, how ever, is really wonderful, and will not be less felt in the Continental money markets than here, for no doubt .to scarcity of food may in a great measure be traced the re cent political convulsions. The Funds have further advanced, and 90 for Consols is now spoken of as likely to be attained this week. Confidence once receiving a bound, the reaction towards prosperity may be as decided as was that to adversity, and each temporary decline after a rise in the funds only appears to spring from the sales of the less sanguine, who desire to realize profits, and is succeeded shortly after by a more decided advance than ever.

DEPLORABLE SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning, be tween the hours of eight and nine o'clock, an elderly gentleman of independent means committed suicide by throwing himself from the window of the fourth story of a house in East Preston-street, Newington. The unfor tunate deceased had for some years laboured under mental imbecility, and lodged with a relative, being, it is reported, under the charge of a keeper, who was ab sent at the moment when the fatal deed was committed. We believe he was quite dead when picked up in the street, the fill having produced a profuse effusion of blood from the ears.—Edinburgh Evening Post. ACCIDENT AT THE WATERLOO RAILWAY TER MINUS.—An unfortunate accident happened at this ter minus yesterday afternoon. It appears that whilst the twenty minutes past four Richmond train was moving out of the station, a man, engaged as a plate-layer, not paying any particular attention to the signals, slipped off the permanent way, and ono of his feet overhanging the metals on which the train was passing, the carriages came across the pour fellow's foot, and injured him in a frightful manner. A stretcher was procured, and the ~ufferer was removed to the hospital, when it was ascer tained in all probability the foot will bo obliged to be amputated. ITALIAN AM) AUSTRIAN RAILWAY. -- A general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held yesterday afternoon at the London Tavern, for the purpose of raising funds for the completion of the undertaking, William Jackson, Esq., in the chair. The statements made of the prospects of the company were of a favourable character, and resolutions in ac cordance with the objects of the meeting were unani mously adopted. CALEDONIAN RAlLwAY.—Yesterday an adjourned meeting of the shareholders opposed to the creation of 71. per cent. preference shares in this company, was held at the London Tavern. Mr. Jacobs occupied the chair. The objects of the meeting having been dis cussed at length, a deputation was appointed to pro ceed to Edinburgh to coaler with the chairman (Mr. Hope Johnstone) and the directors to obtain an adjourn ment of the meeting of the 20th inst. A protest and requi sition calling an extraordinary general meeting of ;the company was signed by those present, to be placed in the hands of the deputation for use if required. About 30 shareholders were present. SOUTIIAMPTON, MONDAY AFTERNOON,—The Tay and Avon, Royal West India mail steamers, left this afternoon. The Tay, in charge of Captain Sharpe, is bound for Jamaica direct, where she will meet the Thames and take her mails to Barhadoes. The Thames will then relieve the Eagle, ono of the Company's station ships, which is to return home for repairs. The Tay took neither mails ❑or passengers. The Avon, in charge of Captain Hast, with mails and passengers, will take the general route, with a large and valuable cargo. The Trent, belonging to the same Company, may be expected homo about the 20th. Tho Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Tagus, Captain Evans, also left this afternoon, with mails and twenty passengers for Gibraltar, &c. THE CORN CROPS OF POLAND.—The destruction of property, especially of the growing crops, throughout Poland by the late hurricane has been most serious. In the province of Lublin alone 150 villages have lost all their crops, cattle have been killed, woods torn up, and houses levelled with the ground or unroofed. Fears are entertained for the approaching harvest, and a great rise has suddenly taken place in the price of all sorts of corn and grain, as well as of other field fruits. It is expected that this will prevent any largo export of wheat. itoTtitiatirrim FAIR.—The good sea-faring folks of ltotherhithe and Deptford were attracted yesterday by the annual fair held on a plot of ground near the Lion Tavern and the St. Helena, in the Lower-road. The skeleton of a whale and the great strength of a wonderful female, who threw about an iron anvil and other ponderous matters with the power of a Hercules, were the great obj9cts of curiosity. Brazier's equestrian troop, with the fat girl, and Miss Patten, the smallest dwarf in the world, made up the rest of the wonders. In the evening there was a good muster of merry visi tors. The houses were decorated with naval flags, and every preparation made to keep up the three days' lair in the belt style. The Lower-road seemed all life and activity. POOR MAN'S INSTITUTE.—On Friday an establish ment within the means of the poor man, to famish a literary relaxation after toil to the most humblr, was r opened by Lord Ashley, in Pear-street, Wastn:r.i n' e one of the poorest of that very poor locality. L•y con sists of a library and large reading-room, furnsrboevciliwlciitahl periodicals, the daily and weekly newsPaPertfosopitical newspapers, &c. Lectures are delivered from p ,ten. subjects.
