ELECTION IN OXFORD (COUNTY.) _ The Sheriff oit Oxfordshire, Mr. J. EL Ashbaa t t, ap pointed yesterday for the election of three keighte to serve for this county in the next Parliament. The Members foi- Oxfordshire in the lent Parliament were Mr."Havcsourt, Lord Norreys, and Mr. Henley. The two lamer, have represented this county for these 20 years; Mr. Henley, since 1941. All three voted evilest the repetai pf the corn-laws in 1846. Lord Norreys, how ever; in 1830, voted against a return to the system of protdction. In nticipation of the present election, Mr. Henley d tt eds ;Harcourt had issued addresses vgaih asking the .offda es of the constituency, but Lord Norreys had in ‘ busted that he did not propose to offer himself for re election. In his place Colonel North announced himself a candidate in an address in which he said— "l have every reliance upon the Administration of the Earl of Derby. It will, lam confident, uphold our free constitution in Church and State, and will do all in its power to give relief to the agricultural interest; and any measures which may be proposed for that object shall receive my bast and most cordial support." At a meeting of electors held in Oxford on Thursday night to consider measures for " securing the return of a gentleman of Liberal principles," it was resolved that, if no eligible Liberal candidate could be found, Lord Norreys should be put in nomination; and it was thence forth generally considered that there would be a con test upon the question whether Lord Norreys was to be superseded by a " Derbyite." • soon after 10 o'clock yesterday morning the doors of the County hall were thrown open, and a crowd of per sons rushed in, a large proportion of them in the dress of labouring rum It was evident that there would be a very noisy meeting; and the mass set to work at once in groaning Mr. Henley and Colonel North the moment they were observed upon the hustings , as well as in cheering for Lord Norreye, A large loaf w h o was not present or re presented. Mr. Harcourt was cheered. labelled " fourpence," and with Lord Norrey's name at tached to it, Wan occasionally waved about at the top of a pole, the cheers of the multitude adopting it as an em blematic expression of their opinions. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY, M.P., stepped forward as soon as the preliminary proceedings were over, and proposed his friend and m ighbour, the representative of the county in the last P a rliament —Mr. G.Herccurt, of Nune ham—as a fit and pro per person to servo for Oxford s hire again.—(Cheers.) Mr. Harcouree course in Parliament had been honest, upright, and independent.—(llear) he had never been the strong adherent of any particular Government, bat h a d k e pt in a position in which he could do what he thought to be best for the good of the empire.—(Hear, hear.) He had shown himself to be attached to the constitution of the coun t 7 y, but ready to support necessary amendments and i m provements with a view to developing its power; he gave his support to the principle of the Reform Bill —(Hear, hear)—as he would to all reforms conceived in a spirit of justice and moderation.—(Hear, hear.) We were attached to our Protestant institutions; and when they were assailed Mr. Harcourt would ba one to de fend them, as in the case of the recent proceedings of Pope.—(" Oh, never mind him.") From whatever quarter attacks might come, from Rome or from any other quarter, Mr. Harcourt would be a zealous defender of the independence of our Protestant institutions, krtowing that thereby he should best secure the bless /nes of civil and religious liberty to all classes of the community.—(Hear, hear.) H 3 was never backward in supporting, measures of just economy, or the repeal of taxes; and the last Parliament had the credit of re sisting the increase of the income-tax end repealing the window-tax.—(" Uow about the breed-tax?' Cheers.) We all knew that there were the varied interests of trade, and manufactures, and of agriculture, and they were more o: less bocad together, and all sooner or later affected if one failed.—(" Oh, that's a lie." Much shouting and confusion.) Mr. Harcourt was of opinion that these interests were not antagonistie, and should not be put one against another, liut should ' be taken care of together.—(N dos and disturbarce ) i'' was doetratee that rem material should be cheap,-:1 it that WO shond have a free impeinaf',on of and ' agriculturist._( so h j a u e st il ic s e ho sh l o ti u n ld ! ... ) .i e done ion.) t c hl, lll ß,.. f t ' t o t rn t : '4 bard upon nay grade burden, any tax, let any one lie was for large and cheap shy plies o irti f br a ea r d e , ac h ° e was not to do juttha) to this Seitish aerteulturist.—(Great uproar and noise, whi c h cempletei j drowned t h e f ew se ntences that Sir H. Willoughby added.) Dr. PRILLIMORE seconded the nomination of Mr. Harcourt, and called upon the constituency to maintain their own ground by returning a man who had long served them faithfully and independently.—(Cheers.) There ware many shades of opinions, and no one could expect to find as a representative a man who agreed with his constituency in every point ; we must be con tent with a general agreement.—(Hear, hear.) He (Dr. Phillimore) was a friend to free trade, and opposed to any tax upon corn.—(Loud cheers) He concurred in commending Mr. Harcourt to the constituency as an in dependent man—(Cheers)—fit and proper to be re turned as heretofore unfettered by pledges to take his seat in the deliberative council of the country. Mr. VINCENT, of Oxford, proposed Lord Norreys, whose name was received with great applause, followed by hooting from some partizans of other candidates. Mr. Vincent proceeded, amid much tumult, to maintain that Lord Norreys had supported good measures, and Oxfordshire ought not to turn round upon him because a section of the constituency had brought forward an other candidate. It had been determined, therefore, to nominate him, and to bring him in without putting him to a shilling expense.—(Much cheering.) Mr. J. TOWLE seconded the nomination of Lord Norreys, who, he said, had been wise enough to see what Mr. Henley had found out two years afterwards.— (Cheers.) Sir H. Willoughby talked about " the insti tutions of the country." Who made an inroad upon them to support the corn law? Who psesed the poor law?—(Uproar.) How could they get over this fact, that since corn bad been allowed to come in free, there had been 10,000,000 quarters admitted is one year? (" Ay, and we swallowed them too."—Laughter and cheers.) The men of Oxfordshire would defend Lord Norreys from the attack that the Protectionist gentry had made upon him for voting f o r th a t measu re.— (Caen's.) He sacrificed his popularity among the agri culturists because be was for people having liberty to work and plenty to eat; he could not go into a wool fair, or an agricultural meeting, without being groaned at—(llear4tear)—lao had to withdraw from these meet ings —(flan; hear)—and now at length he was obliged to withdraw from tOe representation, because he found a fourth man in the field, and he felt that he himself had lost Lis friends.—(" No, no," " He shall come in at the top of the poll.") Did gentlemen think they could re store a bread tax, dear sugar, and d ear bread, ;+r had had them cheap? or did th e y think we did we not " know the reason why ?"—(Cheers.)--(" Where is candidate ?") Lord Norren s wou ld not b e there, h711°',7 was not necessary to atk his content. If a letter to the Sheriff was produced, saying that ho would not serve, he should be elected notwith stancling..(Cheers, and cries of " Oh, oh," " You've g, - ) t his letter.") Sir H. LANIIERT briefly, and amid much noise nomi nated Mr. Houloy. , Mr. LECIIMERE seconded the nomination, but the groans and shouts made it almost ic.epossible to hear anything that he said. A pole was brought in with two loaves stack upon it; a small one, to which Mr. Henley's name was afrixed, and a large loaf'with Lord Norreya's name. Tire pole was waved smid tumultuous applause. Mr. Lechmere said a few 'nerds at intervals, w e d, we believe, stated his opinion to be that the young est man present would not live to sea again a tax upon corn, and that nine people out of ten were opposed to such a tax. Colonel FANE nominated, and Colonel DAWKIN S seconded Colonel North, but entirely in (lamb sh ow; not a word could be heard above the uproar that pre vailed. Ur. HARCOURT then came forward to address the a s _ serahlage, ILIA was received with cheers. He said it would be out of his power to speak amid such a noise as bad been prevailing., and silence Was almost imesedistely secured. He proceeded to state that ho offered his ser vices to the constituency as a men not connected with sup Political party in Parliament. bat occupying the same ground as ever since Oxfordshire had done him the honour of sanding •him there.—(:heere.)

I will speak out if you will be quiet—(A laugh) —I will speak as loud as my voice enables me.—(Some cheers, and cries of " Hear, hear.") My late colleague, Mr. Harcourt, has truly stated to you that in all the votes connected with what you are pleased to call " the little and big loaf "—(Noise and confusion)—that with respect to those votes which had to do with the repeal of the corn-laws Lord Norreys, Mr. Harcourt, and myself voted together.—(Cheers, and some uproar.) It is a plain matter-of-fact; no man can deny it, and it is only right that the truth should be told.—(Hear, hoar, and cheers.) It is not now for the first time, and it is not in places where it was likely to be popular, but the reverse, that I have felt it my duty, in different parts of this county, to tell my agricultural friends that I saw no chance of a change of that law. —(Cheers.) It would have been easy for me, if I had been a man who wished to obtain a cheer at some' of those meetings, to have held different language; but I am one who, as convictions have come over my mind, whether agreeable or not, to those to whom I spoke, have thought it my duty plainly to speak them.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, my votes have been before the county as frequently as those of any mem ber who has had the honour of a seat in the House of Commons, upon every question of public interest; and I wish you to judge me by my votes.—(Hear.) I never have pretended either here or elsewhere to make loud professions, or to give great promises.—(" Well, that's right," " Hoer, hear.") I ask to be judged by my acts; I think a man's acts are better tests than his promises. —(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, of late, besides this ques tion of what is termed the big and little loaf, we have had other questions of great interest before U.3.—(' The Militia Bilt.—Laughter.) I mean that question last year which was commonly called the Papal aggression. (Oh, never mind that. Groans.) I wish no iurther to allude to that than for the purpose of saying, that how ever needful it may be to guard the prerogative of the Crown, there stands no man among you, who is more disposed than I am to secure to every man the full exer cise of his religious freedom.—(Gheers, and a cry of " Oh. we won't have it.")

I will only now thank you :or hearing me as far as you have heard me, and say that if you do me. main the honour to re-elect me, I sha!!, whether in office or oat of dace, pursue the same course of independent action as heretofore, rind support those measures which, in my conscience, I brlieve to b e th e best for the country.—(Groans and cheers.) Colonel NORTH then attempted to address the assem bly. He was received with a storm of groans and yells, and the uproar would have made it i m p oss ibl e f o r any one to hear him at a distance of three or four feet from him. After waiting for some time in vain, in the hope of getting an opportunity of being heard, he gave up the attempt, and retired from the front of the gal lery in which the candidates were standing. Mr. FAULRNER, of Oxford, supported the nomination of Lord Norreys, and called upon the electors not to allow themselves to be ha l uded over to Colonel North. The names of the candidates were then put, and the Sheriff declared that the election had fallen upon Mr. Harcourt, Lord Norreys, and Mr. Henley. A poll was demanded for Colonel North, and the Sheriff appointed it to take place on Thursday and Friday. The polling places are at Oxford, Watley, Deddington, and Nettlebed. WEST KENT. MAIDSTONE, JULY 12.—The nomination of candidates for the honour of being elected to serve for the Western Division of the county of Kent took place this morning at the polling-booth upon Penenden-heath before a very large concourse of people. Long before the appointed hour vehicles of every de scription kept continually arriving, and by eleven the heath presented all those appearances of gaiety and bustle which characterise the vicinity of the grand stand upon a race-course near to the hustings. Ou either side were numerous vans filled with the supporters of the ro• spective parties—those of the Liberals being to the right of the hustings and the Conservatives to the left; and further oat were innumerable fashionable equipages mostly filled with elegantly-dressed females, some splendid banners with the Conservative colours, dark purple and orange, were also reared up and kept so the whole time. A good band was also on the ground, the musicians decked with the same colours. Nearly equal were the parties in number wearing the respective badges, and some few flags of light blue were exhibited by the Liberals, but, for profusion of gay ribbons, mon ster cockades, and long streamers of satin, the Censer- i vatives were entirely in the ascendancy. A numerous body of the javelin men wore also present and kept the crowd from coming too near the front of the hustings. Precisely at eleven Sir J. W. Lublesek, the high sheriff, commenced the business for which they had as sembled, and the customary requirements having been complied with, Mr. P. H. DYKE came forward and, amidst loud cheering, proposed Sir Ed ward Filaser, Bart. The Rev. SMITII MARRIc TT secoucled the nomination. GEORGE WARDS NORMAN proposed, and SAMUEL Lowe, a tenant-farmer, seconded the nomination of Mr. Hodges, which was received with great applause. STeDDIIIT Do troL A3, E s q., proposed William Mas ters Smith, and, in so doing, stated that, as a practical farmer, he would know and be best able to relieve the wants of the agriculturists , Sir Llamas WILSON, of Charlton) seconded the no mination: Sir EDMUND FILIISR then presented himself, and was received w i t h partial c h eer s. In returning thanks he alluded t o t h e number o f t i me s he had had the ho nour t o represent them, and trusted they would enable him to dose ag a i n . he bad many friends in the He kne; county, and much regretted that his ill health had pre vented his per sona ll y canva ssing them; but he felt coa a d eet he sh ou l d be returne d.

After reading the usual form, the Mayor called on the electors to name their representatives. Tha Rev. J. CORER proposed the Magni; of Chandos. Major MACDONALD briefly seconded the nomination. Mr. H. HUMPHREYS proposed Calinel John Hall. Mr. G. KING suconded the nomination. No other o:.ndidatto being proposed, the Mayor de dared the Marquia of Chaado3 and Colonel Hail duly elected. The Marquis of CIIANDO3 said he had the satisfac tion of knowing that his votes in the Ilona° of Commons ware consonant with the views of the electors, and that not ono promise giyen him when he was before them on a former occasion was now withheld. For six years he had represented them. The last time he was before them it was as a member of the Dui of Derby's Govern ment, then just formed. He then told them that his object should be the good of the country. That had been the endeavour of the Derby Administration; and if, in this appeal to the country, the voice should be against them, which be believed would not be the case, there would not be a blank in the book of history re cording useful and beneficial measures. They had car ried useful measures. It had been said that they could not have carried those measures without the forbearance of their opponents, but it should be borne in mind that the forbearance was not voluntary, but that the measures so carried were in accordance with the views of the people of England. Measures of importance would be proposed in the next session, and he would endeavour to act for the gcod of the county. As a member of the Earl of Derby's Government he should not forfeit his independent opinion. The object mast be to protect all, cud to avoid unjust taxation. He would give the utmost liberty to all, but would maintain to the Queen the power. The subject of an extension of the borough jurisdiction would have his support, and he would endeavour to act the part of a faithful repre sentative. Colonel HALL was proud to have, for the third time, the honour of appearing before the electors as their re presentative. The constitution in church and state shculd have his support, but, at the same time, he would not willingly interfere with other people's mode of wor ship. In supporting the Earl of Dprby's Government ho believed he should be supporting those whose object was to do justice to all, and not to support one at the expense of another. It must be admitted that manufacturers and traders were prosperous, bat that the agriculturists were suffering. Those he believed the Earl of Derby would endeavour to relieve. H e, as an agriculturist occupy in g 800 acres of land, w as anx i ous for the prosperity of agri culture, but not at th e expense of others. 119 hoped to see the beer-tax reduced, and an adjustment of 0 ' 713- lion. The proceeciinebl terminated w ith th e usual vote of thanks to the Mayor. NORTH WARWICKSHIRE. The nomination of candidates for --- yesterday in divi sion of the county of Warwick took place the market-place of Coleshill.

WEBSTER, The candidates in succession addressed the assemblage, but the uproar was so intense that even the persons in their immediate vicinity could catch but a few disjointed sentences of their very short speeches. Mr. NEWDEGATE was understood to declare that he would not endeavour to force the Government to pass any corn-law, or any law that was opposed to the wishes of the people. Mr. SPOONER promised only to say a word, and almost literally kept his promise, confining his observations to the simple assertion th a t h e h a d done his duty, and would do it in future. Mr. CRAVEN apologised for not having made a per sonal canvass of the elect Ors, but be was unable to do so, because be did not know until Friday that the northern division of the county would be contested. For the best part of his life he had resided in the county, and hie politics agreed with those of his family, which were well known. If they should send him to Parliament he would endeavour to do his utmost for the country, and of course for that county in particular. He should in the first place direct his attention to prevent the re-imposition of the corn-laws, or the reversal of the system of free trade. The present Government had said they had not aban doned protection, and therefore he should oppose the present Government, but he would gladly give his sup port to any Liberal Government that came into power. r cst ion ou g h h t to e Since the repeal of the corn-laws e d ucat i on had spread t v h e o ry ug m ht u t c h h at a t m be on v e a s r t lia t m he entary people,rep and e a t a therefore be extended.

His principles mainly agreed with those of the late Government, but ho was opposed to the present Government, which had thought tit to dis solve Parliament without giving the electors any idea of the measures that were se be brought for ward in the next Parliament. The speaker next referred to the question of Church reform, and was. understood to say that any efficieet measure i ntro d uced for the purpose should have his support. If he wore returned to Par liament he should endeavour to promote the interests both of the a,griculturists end manufacturers, and if by the revision of taxation they could render the former class any help, ho should b 3 glad to assist in such a 1 movament. Mr. BEDFORD wished to put a question to Mr. Craven. The questio❑ PM, are yeu a Catholic? Mr. CRAVEN—No.—(Laud cheers.) The SHERIFF, having taken a show of hands, declared the result to be in favour of Mr. Craven and Sir George Skipwith. A poll was then demanded on the part of Messrs. Newdegate and Spooner, and of cr:urse granted. It should be observed that the stiow of hands was ex ceediv)gly unfavourable to the Protectionists; while more than half the assembly indicated their approval of the Liberal candidates not more than thirty hands were raised in favuur of their opponents. This is no doubt partly attributable to the fact that the drunken supporters of protection wore dislodged by degrees from the ground they had occupied, being unable to offer any lengthened resistaiace to the steady and sober men who rallied round the banner of free trade. "At the conclusion of the proceedings the Protectionist banis diffused theraltilvee tarough the town, but in a short time settled themselves down in clusters about the beer-shops. At twelve o'clock at noon the sun was flaming down on Colushill, and beer was more popular than either Newdegate or Spooner. There is every pro bability that broken heads tor the remainder of the week will.be no novelties there, as the meeeriels and incite ments have apparently been :needled with a liberal hand for the manufacture of such articles. Tho Sheriff hog sought to enlist the sympathies of tho posse comitutus in the cause of order; but the passe conutat.s may un fortunately be as prone to strong think as their neigh bours,*and when they drink end gm drunk they will for get they ever tilled the worthy office of preservers of the p eac e, and only recollect they are Protectionists.

He had gained 2 seats in the boroughs, which would count 46 on a division—(Loud cheers)—and all the county elections were yet to come. Although the Government had been laughed at for their supposed inexperience, Lord Derby had brought forward 88 Bills in the last short session, and had passed them all. There had been no "massacre of the innocents." The Government had proposed to give seats for boroughs notoriously venal to a large county and constituency in the north of England. This showed their deSire for reasonable representative re f orm , but the other side had opposed it.

LIMERICK (CITY). A letter.dated last night says:—" The excitement con sequent upon the election of. Lord.Arundel, in Decem ber 1851, when that nobleman was taken up beeause of his defence of Catholicity, has been eclipsed on the pre sent occasion. Last night there was a desperate riot in the Corn market, whore the Rev. William Bourke, P.P., St. John's,.presided stela meeting of the electors and non-electors, for the purpose of supporting Sergeant O'Brien and Mr. Potter. While addresses were being delivered a body of men in Mr. Russell's interest made their appearance Di the market-place, and commenced shouting for 'Russell and civil and religious liberty.' It is said they were, under the influence of drink, but at all events a desperate row ensued; stones were thrown, and missiles used. In the melds, the Rev. Mr. aurae, R.C.C., St. Michael's, rushed from the platform into the crowd for the purpose of quelling the disturbance, and did all in his power to save the 'Russell party from the vio lence of the infuriated mob. In. the straggle the Rev. Mr. Darrac's interference was misunderstood, and in consequence he was. struck at, and knocked down three times. The Rev. Mr. Halpin and the Rev. Mr. Bourke were also treated with indignity, and the aid of a strong body of police (over 200) had to be called in to quell the disturbance.

An extraordinartngenerah meeting of.. the proprietors of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, by adjournment from July 7, to receive a report from the directors, and to ,cnnsidar a proposition to be submitted to them for carryng out the objects of the company. The chair was taken by Goo. T. Baines, Esq., R. W. Crawford, Esq., the late chairman, having retired from the direction. Mr. YATES (the secratary) read the report, which, after referring to the two previous plans .proposed—the first, a communication by. the German railways to Trieste, thence to Alexandria by the Austrian Lloyd's steamers, and so by the ordinary overland route to Suez, and by steamer to Calcutta; and the second, a commu nication by ordinary steam-vessels round the Cape— stated that d The objections discovered on examination of these plans led the way to the consideration of a third plan, which should comprise the elements of high speed without the inconvenience , and . great expense iuevi tably attending the overland route. It was suggested that steam vessels of. the great.power which modern science renders attainable, might be dispatched by way of the Cape, so as to accomplish the distance between England and Calcutta in the same or less time than the present transit by Sruthampton and the Desert, and with great increase of comfort and economy to the passengers. For this purpose it would only be ne cessary that vessels should,be employed possessing the speed of fifteen or sixteen. knots ea hour. It appeared that fifteen.knots an hoar would accomplish the•distance to Calcutta in thirty-two days, sixteen knots in thirty days, and seventeen knots in twenty-eight days. Vessels of this class could therefore. be prudently calculated on to perform the entire distance in thirty. to thirty-two days, provided Only they were not obliged to stop and coal by the. way. The next question was whether a vessel could be constructed of power and capacity to perform the voyage to Calcutta without stopping to coal by the way. On this point the whole question hinged. The power of parrying coal for the whole voyage in volves the difference of a cost of 12s. to 13s. per ton in comparison with a cost of 40s. to 455; per ton, which latter is the average of the cost of coal per ton through out the overland route. The consumption of coal is known to be the great element of cost in steam naviga tion; and if this could' be reduced by two-thirds, it Was obvious that great corresponding increase of speed and power might be obtained not -only ut no increase, but at an actual diminution of . expense. In accomplishing this object, increased size in the vessel was a necessary ingredientioand with it an' ability' to provide accom modation for passengers and goods of the description alluded to. It is a principle in ship building now ascer tained, that in proportian as the vessel is increased in size her dlsposahle capacity " for passengers and cargo increases in a higher ratio. Thus a vessel which could carry her coals for the Voyege to Calcutta would neces sarily posaeiss the capaCity to convey a largely increased number of passengers and a large quantity of measure ment goodaa It is eatilly Matter or experience that the speed att a i na b le by large vessels is greater in proportion to their power than with smaller vessels; it was clear, therefore, that such a means of communication must possess immens e advantage over any hitherto existing in its extent Of accommedation, comfort, and cheapness. On these points your directors consulted the highest en gineering authority. 'Of all the eminent engineers in this county, Mr. Brunel is known to have dedicated the most base and attentiou W. the improvement of ocean steam navigation, and the consent:Aim of vessels for that surp ass. The Ggeat Weetern, the first vessel which was built expressly to castry her own coal from England to America,, owed her existence to bine; and the present scheme is eis.y a development . of the same principle. Mr. Brunel has satisfied your directors of the peace ticability building and, runnieg such vessels with advantage, and. his . views are borne out by the opinions of other eminent engineers and ahiP - liailders. The mechanical difficulties being thus solved, the question remained whether paattengers and freight existed in a sufficient number and quantity to make the employment of such . vessels a matter of profit. On this point (possessing among themselves considerable knowledge and exteneige experience of the trade with_ India your .directors lead less difficulty in arriving at a co nc l u sion. After deliberation.and inquiry, they are satisfied that vessels, of the class 'referred to, making one. voyage oat and home every two months, would find a sufficient amount of passengers and manu factured goods to yield a very large return, and that that return would be subject to fewer contingencies and less drawbacks, than in the case of vessels running under contract as. to their structure, and as to the time of de parture and arrival. In their calculations on these points your. directors have estimated freight at that now paid to sailing vessels, and passage money at abo u t h a lf the cost now paid by the overland route, while they have allowed for the passengers luxurious and roomy cabins, with air and comfort, and accommodation on a scale hitherto wholly unattainable. For these arrangements shout one-half of the total capital will be required, and there •will be ample provision for the future extension of the operations of the company. Upon a mature consideration of the whole subject, your directors have 'come to the conclusion of recommending to you to proceed with the proposed plan of building steamevesselsecapeble of, effecting the views above expressed, on the principle of carrying their own coal for the voyage •to Calcutta." The . report far ther announced the retirement of Messrs. 11: W. Craw ford, S. Edlmann, R. Brooks, T. llolroyd, and J. Seatt; but adding that their secession was owing entirely to per sonal considerations. It also recommended an increase in the number of the board from twelve to eighteen, and suggested to fill up present. vacancies, Messrs. H. T. Elope, M.P. C. R. M. Talbot, P. IW. Miles, M.P., S. Baker, and R. Potter: It was added that interest at the rale of 4 per cent. 'per annum would be paid upon calls until the vessels of the company commenced run ning, and that should any present proprietor be desirous to be relieved of his shares, there were parties ready to accept as assignment of them, and to return the full amount of the deposit paid thereon. The CrislaraArr, previous to 'the motion for adopting the report, reminded the proprietors that •at the lest meeting in April the directors had 'fully explained the circumsZancest of the tender they had made for the Go vernment contract, and its resection in favour of the offer of,th e peninsular 'and Oriental Company- Since then questieiii bad be . en House of Commons , and animadversions had been made b oth by the 'Pr ese n t and the Chancellor of the Ex hequer, ea the statements made by the directors in their report. But is these enimadvereiores. were general in their char ac Eer , there being no specific charge made, or anything picked out • juetifyahe nllegation that the statement of the directors was not accurate, they thought it most becoMing in them to leave their report to make its way with the public. • The plen now submitted by the board might b first. sight fiCera.very novel, but, in point of f act, it was nothing more than the developement of an admitted principle in ship- huildinga-that as you in creased size, eepecialio length, .yon diminished expense nof,w.orking added to the accommodation and stowage, and Increa ' se ' tithe s d principlo, which was now pee •. • 4 • • allowed by all.scientific men to be correct as regarded "'fling vessels, applied with still greater force to steamers. The adoption of the Cape routtnyvould enable them to maintain a high and uniform rate of speed throughout the "YNI; there being no impediment, as .in the Red Sea, front the head and density of the water, nor any neces sq—the vessels being built of sufficient capacity—for B . ar t° l ) Phig• or coaling placA between the point of deltas :e ie the IlteSt of England end Calcutta. The direc tors,, not feeling themselves competent to decide whe tun. t e e rate of speed stated iii' the report was attain o u en le, had consu lt e d Mr. Brunel, w h o entertainer] no o onht on the point, and was present to answer any %net- L1() II3 that might be put to him. -But, w i t h regard tothe ' n o htercial pert of the question, th e board, s ene • seeee na ,Ps?.iisaf which were well acq ua i nte d w i th the India and China trade—some of them having spent the greater part of their . .lives , in tO whtnvoo3 countries.—had doubt " • teer thaathere would. be found eaiple'trzd both in e n,p ass engers and merchandi se , t o ensure p re fit a ble ent for the class of .ve-s se l s it was proposed to Oreavo In f act. it was always found that.ae facilities in sei tram,. spd w as combined was developed, and wherever increasednote as combined with great reduceton of expense, rulerdevelop:d but a new tea me rely • Ply was the traffic , n i c t created.—(Bear, hear.)

A : — gam, the prese nt ealietne was bated on the principle of perfect freedom from Government interfe renne•—(Lstid cheers.) It might be said that the ab sence of a subsidy from Government was no great ad vantage, but when those who thought so recollected the drawbacks in the shaPe of time, build, and other restric tions imposed on t h e contract vestele, they would pro bably be of a different opiniore—(Etear, hear.)

Mr. Benooore offer expressing great satisfactio n /v i t . ! , the proposal put.forward, and hie confidence of its 3 ulti mate success, moved a resolution adopting the report, and authorising the board to carryout the eeher ee , Mr. R.

The Eastern Steam Navigation Company had already done the State tome service by effecting wreductich of 70,000/, in the existiuts India mail centrards, and if this plea were carrier) out they would net only do a further sortie° to the State, bet obtala proat for themselves. Mr. CIZAWFAID begged to explain that the &mum statues ceder. whica Le and the nine retiring elite eves left the board were entirely of a personal character, and had not arisen from any ditihrence in opinion from those who remained. He had been induced to unite in the endeavour to improve the cemznueicetion with India, Laving as a merchant howl felt the incon veniency retultiag from the defective arrangements of the old compauy, and though it was true the communication was now more frecpient, and in creased advantages were obtained, it was come quent on' the interference and the expenditure of this company. At the last mcetieg, the directors had been entruste4 with two duties; first, to explain to the public thaiugh Parliament what had really occurred, and how their objrcts had been forestalled; and secondly, to de vise a neaascheme to eerry . eut those objects. With re gard to the first, they found that the political crisis ab sorbed allattention, end when their case was brought before Perliameat, they were in plain terms " pooh peolieil." Is appeared, hoWeeer, that in the debate in the House of Commons the Chancellor of the Exchequer stated that he had taken on himself the responsibility of deciding on the contracts, giving the country to under stand that be had so decided on a fair consideration of all the eirchmstanees of the cave; whereas Lord Derby had written to him (Mr. Crawford) a note, stating that he and the Chancellor of the Exchequer were unable to came to any other conelesien than that which had been arrived at in favour of the other company, the matter having been decided by their predecessors in office.— (Hear, hear, and a lairah.) ... Either, then, Lord Derby, the Prime . Minister, had put him off with a fudge, or the Chancellor of the Emehequer was not a Right Hon. Gentleman.—(Laughter.) Then, with respect to the new schethe; the board would have had such a scheme to propound, but that they were upset by a little trick—one amongst their own proprietors having opened negotiations for effecting arrangements betwcea the Austrian Lloyd's and the Peninsular and Oriental, ay which thneo-operatioia'of theTastern Steam Navigation Company with the Austrian Lloyd's would have been impossible.' It was' in this state of affairs that Mr. Bernal and 'other gentlemen 'acquainted with the sub ject suggested the scheme new proposed. He having no time to carry it out, and intending to leave the board, had not gene into the details, but should be happy to assist generally as a private shareholder. In reply to questions, Mr. BRUNEL stated that it was not intended to have any coaling station unless under extraordinary circum stances, as the high price of freight or other special reasons should render it necessary. One main feature of the plan ,was to purebsse the coil. at the low price at which it could only be hat) in this country, and that each vessel should carry sufficient for tile - whole-voyage. He had na doubt that the speed of 15 knots as the lowest average might be maintained. The vessels it was pro posed to build would be constructed .principally of iron. Of course every known. improvement would be adopted in the machinery. They would be very large, and would carry probably 3,000 or 4,000 tons of coal each, besides having ample .steerage for. cargo and the most extensive accommodation for passengers. No company could compete with . them, all . other companies being. moro or less shackled by reason of their contracts. —(Hear, hear.) In his opinion Government contracts were destructive. and .proltieitory of steam navigation; but they, at least, were free of that, which could not he said of any other company. . . Therefore, they need not tear competition. Their vessels would be constructed en the screw and paddle principle, which would give th em the power o f three d i stinct and separate engines, and thus provide for all contingencies. Mr:SCOTT RUSSELL remarked that there were steam vessels now doing eighteen miles an hour regularly, and instanced the Holyhead heats, and it was well known amongst snip-hullaers now that it was much easier to aot a high leas of speed in large th an in small vessels.

ATTEMPT TO POISON,—/Aldus Ann Blackburn, wife of Thomas Blackburn, latidlord.of the Red Lion Inn, in this city, was indicted for attempting to poison her hus band with laudanum on the 23d. of March. Mr. ,FloWers conducted the prosecution, and Mr. O'Brien the.defence. The eviletico for the prosecution was that the prosecu tor ordereda beefsteak for his supper, which was prepared by a servant and placed on. the.b.ar table, and that in the course of eating it ho complained there was laudanum in it. Th e wife, who had been asked to part a k e o f the food, refused; and the husband, finding himself ill, went into the tsproom and said he Was poisoned, and then went and lay down, and. fell into a comotose stage. It was proved that the prisoner had sent for laudanum. After the evidence for the prosecution had concluded, onMr. O'Brien was addressing the jury f or t h e pri- e r, . . Tht, JUD GE stopped him, and said that in the absence of proof, motive, or that .the •woman had actually put laudanum on. the steak, it .was unsafe to convict on such a serious charge.
