B. WOOLHOTISE, Actuary. T HE NATIONAL GUARD. The 'visit from France of the National Guard Is a capital theme for the mercantile bard, Who, with every good Englishman, heartily tries— " Three cheers for our neighbours and friendly allies." The National Guard, from accounts that are written, Seem highly delighted at visiting Britain, And wherever the good Gallic strangers have been, They've declared themselves pleased at the sights they have seen, The writer of this being present,'for ens, When the National Guards came to MOSES and SON, Can attest to the pleasure which each seemed to show As he wond'ring stroll'd through the mighty depot, Net one of the visitors failed to admire The shops set apart for the sale of ATTIRE. They noticed the mart in its business design, And they noticed the dress, which they thought very fine. (And Frenchmen are judges of fashion, you know), And every one gate the peculiar shrug At the sight of tke fashions each heart seemed to glow On seeing the Over-Coats, stylish and sang, Not a guard did I notice but seemed to be won By the elegant dresses of MOSES and SON. After they inspected the prime - HATS AND CAPS, • In which you'll imagine some time would elapse, And I scarcely need say that the National Guard, On seeing the goods, stared remarkably hard, Such indeed was the case, and t didn't see one Who gave not due credit to MOSES and SON. They neif made their way to the prime BOOTS AND SISOES, Which of course they had no disposition to lose, And here (for Ijudge from the shrug and the start), They were equally pleased with the grand City Mart, And I certainly thought they were "sensible Sirs," When I saw how delighted they were with the FURS. " Well done, Messrs. Moses; well done," said each man (I give the translation as well as I can), And hating applauded these winter affairs, They looked at the OUTFITS AND HOSIERY WARES, Which goods pleased them well, as the others had done, And caused therm to compliment MOSES and SON. And be it remembered that, after inspection, Each one of the "Nationals" made a selection. Many thanks, gallant Guards, for your liberal a , d, With warmth is this public acknowledgment made, And with this very view did the mercantile bard Select for his subject the "National Guard." E. MOSitS and SON invite especial attention to their Shooting coats, which possess a peculiar cut and style, adding much comfort In the it. E.

The two candidates for this appointment—namely, Captain Sir Henry Leeke, K.H. (1826), and Captain Lushington (1829), had each eleven votes, but the casting vote of the chairman decided the election in favour of his relative, the latter gallant officer.

PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 15.--SIR CHARLES NAPIER'S SQUADRON.—The St. Vincent, 120, Captain Dacres, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., is ready to sail from Spithead.

The royal screw-yacht Fairy was undocked to-day, after sundry little matters connected with her machinery and under-water pipes had been adjusted and the com position on her bottom retouched. By the way, this retouching seems very frequent with the Fairy—either the composition is worthless or the application very im perfect. There is something manifestly unfair in this treatment, too, as the redlead, which is pitted against the composition, is never retouched in a similar way on vessels paid over with it being docked or hauled up...— Times . Tho Echo steam-tug was docked in the Fairy's place, to be repaired. The Pembroke, 72, was undoeked yesterday, h av i ng been repaired as an advanced ship. The Hermes, steam-vessel, under command of Mr. Martin, of the Confiance, arrived from Plymouth this morning with supernumeraries for the ships fitting at this port. She was on her way to the eastward, to be returned to her former state of ordinary in reserve, the master, and crew being to be transferred on her ar rival' to their proper vessel, the Confiance, with which they are to return to Plymouth. She sailed for Wool wich the same evening. A new invention, by retired Captain Sir Samuel Brown, K.H., patentee of the chain cables and numerous other improvements in iron work, was exhibited yester day in the dockyard by the inventor, to the Hon. Sir Bladen Capel,K.C.B., Commander-in-Chief, the Admiral. Superintendent, and several other 'naval and scientific gentlemen. It is a compass in a glass box, sustained by a small pillar with telescopic slides, by which it can be elevated or lowered to any desired height. It is designed to obviate the local attraction of the ships. The card is transparent, and the whole apparatus will supersede the use of a binnacle. There is a mirror attached to it on which the helmsman will bo able to see the reflection of the compass-card. A lamp will be placed over it at night. The whole is a most ingenious contrivance, and if success ful, will effect a great desideratum for the nautical world. Wind north, light breezes, and hazy weather.

The adjourned half-yearly meeting was Jrst proceeded with, and in introducing the business, The Ciaarnmeis explained that some delay had arisen in effecting the transfer of stock necessary to b e made in order to carry out the resolution of the 24th October last, for the distribution of 10s. per share. That sum had, however, now been divided amongst two-thirds of the total number of share holders, and the remaining third could obtain their quota as soon as they chose to apply for it. He had also to report that the 15,000 Z. Ivan to the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company, which at the previous meet ing was stated to be immediately returnable to this Company, was not, in fact, so payable, and could not be made available to the purposes of a distribution until three months' notice bad first been given that its repayment was required by this company. The new directors had, on discovering this mis take, given the requisite notice without delay. They had also found various agreements in existence between this company and different landowners ; and since the last meeting they had likewise received several notices from such landowners, insisting on their right to call upon that company to fulfil certain of its engagements. Since these notifications had come to hand the directors had been using their beat endeavours to accomplish the most advantageous arrangements they possibly could in behalf of the company, and there was every prospect of their successfully doing so in nearly all cases, only they would require in the first instance to be empowered by the present meeting to take the proper steps for settling with the landowners. The directors also found the company to be bound by an agreement with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company, to contribute one-half of the outlay neces sary for constructing three-quarters of a mile of rail way called the Burnley link, and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company declined at present to relieve them from their engagements with regard to this line ; but he hoped they would be induced to reconsider their de cision, and that this company would eventually have to contend against no difficulty whatever on this score. In order. to enable the directors to adjust this matter, the meeting would also be called upon to invest them with power to negotiate. Several other engagements had also been entered into by this company, under Acts of Parliament, with the Northern Counties Union Railway, one of which was to construct a piece of line, twelve miles in extent, called the Beadle branch of the York and Newcastle Railway. Now, this was an obstacle in the way of this company winding up its affairs ; still they were not liable to be called upon to fulfil this contract until the Northern Counties Union had commenced its own operations ; and of this there was very little probability, because he had observed notices (whether issued by the directors of that company or not, he could not say) already adver tised, of an intended application to Parliament for leave to abandon that line. With regard to the loan of 15,000/. to the Lancashire and Yorkshire Com pany, that company held 6,000 shares in this com pany, and 3,0001. had been written off from that loan, in lieu of paying the allowance of 10s. per share upon the whole of the 6,000 shares. After some further remarks the chairman concluded by moving " That powers be and are hereby given to the directors to negotiate and conclude arrangements with an y com pany or companies, landowners or other parties who have or profess to 'have, claims or demands upon this company on any account whatever, and . to modify or compromise any existing agreements or l i abil ities on the part of this company, and to pay such sums of money for any of the purposes aforesaid as the directors may, in their discretion, think proper." After being duly seconded, this proposition was carried unanimously; and the adjourned extraordi nary general meeting was next entex•Pd upon. Tha Crwamazir then moved— " That the resolution passed on the 3d Ootoi4v last, and subsequently confirmed, for the return of 14s. per share on the paid-up capital (an instalment of 10s. per share of which has already been paid) be now again con firmed; and that the return of the balance of 4s. per share be paid in such instalments and at such times as the directors may think necessary." Mr. PARSONS was anxious to see some more of the money refunded to the shareholders as soon as posible, and wished an early day to be fixed when a further distribution should take place. The CHAIRMAN said their next half-yearly meeting would be held in February, 1849, and it would then be sufficiently early to attend to Mr. Parson's sug gestion, for he was sure the directors would have enough to occupy them for the whole of the ensuing three months, in concluding the necessary negotia tions with the railway companies and the landowners. He was, however, of opinion that the interest not ex ceeding four per cent. upon the 2/. paid up should be allowed, agreeably to Act of Parliament, before Christmas next, and this would be equivalent to dividing another shilling per share. The motion having been seconded, was then put and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN next proposed that the thanks of the proprietors be given to the committee of share holders recently formed at Manchester for the pur pose of promoting the winding up of the affairs of the company, and the return of the available capital to the shareholders ; and that the directors be authorised to pay the expenses incurred by that committee in prosecuting its labours, from a deduction of any sum not exceeding t ;;:eepence per s h are f rom t h e amount to be returned to every shareholder. Th e Chairman said he felt justified in submitting this proposition, because it was mainly owing to the active exertions of the Committee of Shareholders that any money at all had been refunded to the sizare holders ; and as they had been compelled to expend a considerable sum in paying for stamps, &c., and as the general body of th e p ro p r i e t ors h a d l arge l y par ticipated in the benefits accruing from the successful issue of their a g it a ti on , h e t h oug h t it onl y just and fair that all parties should contribute to defray the expenses incurred by the committee in their behalf. A PROPRIETOR having seconded the motion, Mr. PARSONS and others strongly opposed it, but, after a warm and protracted discussion, it was eventually carried by a large majority. Thanks were then voted nem. con, to the chairman, and the meeting broke up. EMIGRATION.—Tho ship St. Vincent, Captain Young, with 62 statute adults, from this place, sailed yesterday for Sydney. The private ship Diamond, Captain Stew art, for Adelaide and Port Philip, arrived yesterday from London.

After the proposed amalgamation of the London North-Western, Great Western, and London and South-Western Railways, this company will form the next greatest amalgamation in the railway interest, representing, as it will, a capital of nearly 14,000,0001. sterling, having under its control nearly 500 miles of railway, and, in consequence of its connexion with the Midland, possessing a beneficial interest in nearly an equal number more. It will also possess, with a very slight exception, all the railways in Norfolk, Essex, Suffolk, Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Huntingdon shire, and Herts.

Between Nov. 1846, and the end of 1847, the Commissioners directed pre liminary inspections, prior to public openings, in 100 instanct a. In 21 cases it was considered necessary by the Commissioners, on considering the reports of the ins petting officers, to postpone the opening of either the whole or a part of many of the railways inspectel, and, in more than one instance, to point out to the company applying for the inspection, the im propriet'p of requiring the attendance of a public officer b More the works were sufficiently advanced to justify t heir proposal to open them to the public. In 40 cases, when allowing the opening, the Commis sioners t bought it necessary for the public safety to make su,rgestions resp ec ti ng a temporary or perma nent rest fiction of the speed on certain portions of the line, and as to the arrangement of signals. DISCONTINUANC E or RETURN TICKETS. —Great dissatisfaction exists i n t h e West of England and other dist facts at the sudden discontinuance of the return ticket system, which hitherto, for the accom modation. of first a n d second-class passengers, had been earn ad out at a reduction of the fares of from one-third to one-sixth on the double journey. A passenger was privileged to use these tickets for any distance not exceeding fifty miles on the same day, and if issued on Saturday they were returnable on Monday. An appeal is talked of on the subject to Parliament and the Board of Trade, the proceeding being looked on in the light of a breach of faith to wards the public, who, on the strength of the conve nience and facility offered, have permanently settled on the line. Many who have hitherto travelled by rail for short distances by this method have deter mined to take to their vehicles and horses, and those who hitherto went first-class have, it is said, resolved to go second. The London and Brighton have an nounced that they do not intend to followthis practice. The argument on the part of the railway companies, in justification of the measure, appears to be that the return-ticket system, adopted with the view of what is called " forcing traffic," does not answer unless it be on purely pleasure lines, such as the London and Brighton, and South Devon, on which latter the re turn system is continued, and that it interferes disad vantageoualy with the business traffic of commercial lines. By the return and periodical system on the Brighton line, a man may go to and fro between London a.nd Brighton as often as he pleases for 12/. for one month, 201. for two months, 25/. for three months, 35L. for six months, and 501. for a year. ULSTER RAILWAY.--REDUCTION OF FARES.—We perceive by u notice that third-class passengers will be conveyed by the Parliamentary up and down trains, at the former rates, vi z . : —B e lf ast to Lisburn, 4d.; Moira, Sd.; Lurgan, ls.; Portadown, Is. 4d.; is.

AMIENS AND BOULOGNIL—In reply to the memo rial of the proprietors to the French Government, it appears probable that although, in the event of apt prehended disturbanees, the expensive police staff on the line will not be reduced, it is likely that relief will be granted with respect to other imposts, and that a larger amount of remuneration will be given for the conveyance of the mails. FRENCH RAILWAY LAW FOR THE PREVENTION OF ACCIDENTS.—The orders issued by the Minister of Public Works upon this important subject are, that the employment of four-wheeled locomotives for passenger trains be interdicted, that every carriage do rest on six wheels at least, in order that if one of the axles should break the carriage should still rest on supporters and continue its course. Locomotives to be placed at the head of the train, and never behind. At least one luggage carriage always to be placed at the head of each train of five carriages, and two car riages without passengers, when the carriages in the I leain shall exceed five. Carriages with passengers never to be locked. CO UHT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY. The Queen and Prince Albert took their usual early morning walk.

At tho end of 1845, 2,441 miles THE ROYAL VISIT TO BENTLEY PRIORY. Yesterday, her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert left Windsor Castle, to pass a few days with the Queen Dowager, at Bentley Priory, near Stanmore. The Earl Howe and the Earl of Denbigh arrived at the Priory on Tuesday, and a select circle had the honour to receive invitations to meet the Queen and the Prince Consort. It having been publicly announced that her Ma jesty would arrive at Stanrnora yesterday, a great concourse of persons, inhabitants of the neighbour ing villages and hamlets, collected at the principal entrance to the park, and many of the scholars from Harrow School, and numerous gentry, were to be see n among those assembled to give her Majesty a hearty welcome. A strong body of the police were in attendance, but, from the well-conducted bearing of the crowd, not the slightest disorderly p roceed i ng demanded their interference. The two royal carriages, with her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by the Marchioness of Douro, the Hon. Miss Kerr, Lord Waterpark, Col. Buckley, and Col. Seymour, were escorted from Windsor Castle to Uxbridge by a troop of the Life Guards. On reaching Uxbridge the military escort was relieved by the 11 th Hussars, under the' command of Lieutenant Sykes, who conducted the royal cor tege to Pinner, where another troop of that regiment, commanded by Lieut enan t C resswe l l, relieved them and attended on her Majesty to the Prior At precisely t wen t y -fi ve m i n u tes to five o'clock, her Majesty a n d th e P r i nce Consort reached Bentle Priory, the ill us t r i ous v i sitors being enthusiastically cheered as th e royal carriages entered the park. The Quee n an d the Royal - Prince were received at the porch by the Earl Howe and the Earl of Den bigh, as chief officers of the Queen Dowager's House hold ; Prince ',Edward of Saxe Weimar, and Vis countess Barrington, by whom her Majesty and the Prince Consort were conducted to the saloon, from whence the Dowager Queen and the Princess Louisa Hohenlohe Schillingsfurst advanced to meet her Majesty and Royal party. Lord and Lady Ashley and Captain Hamilton. R.N., arrived shortly afterwards.

It has been instituted with the view of providing a medium associa tion between the late Whit ti mg t on Cl u b and the Gres ham, the first of which 11:3,s abandoned its ground is the City, and the latter of which is rather too expen sive to meet the purposes o f the class for whom accom modation is particularly rt quired. The new City Club has taken possession of or is of those old mansions for which the neighbourhood off :asinghall-street and Alder manbury is celebrated. It it conducted upon an econo mical scale, and combines w ith the victualling depart merit the means of gratifyin g the more refined tastes of the day, in the shape of a lib racy, a reading-room, and other adjuncts to literary and social unions. TILE THBRMOGENIC COLT.—The wools of Aus tralia are celebrated for their t softness and yielding quali ties, and thus present advani;a ges for the fabrication of the warmest cloths. With. this material a cloth of luxuriance and finish has recently been perfected for Mr. I Sayce, of Cornhill, who ma kt!s therewith an over -coat of great superiority, being singularly free from the coarse and vulgar character imparted by garments intended f or e virtue, r n ' ap and pr e c i i n a b t l h e such uses.

CHATEAUBRIAND'S MIKOIRB.—The public will learn with satisfaction that the English translation' f the Memoi rs o f t h e ce l e b rated Chateaubriand hasbe 4 ( 1 ) brought out by M r . C o lb urn, after the fashion of the dry, in the che a p es t p oss ibl e form.. The first part, price only 2s. Gd., contains the whole of the first volume of the Paris edition. It forms a por Lion of Mr. Colburn's New Standard Library. Few Englis h readers are unacquainted with the fact that M. de Chateaubriand was for above half a century one of the mos t eloquent, energetic, bold, and independent writers of F ranee. Surviving the last revolution by a few months only, he died in July last, at the age of fourscore, leaving these memoirs written by himself, descriptive of the scenes of his long and checquered career. When it is considered that Chateau briand was not merely an autitior, but that he figured successively as a soldier, traveller, ambassador, an d Prime Minister, we have a right to expect in the auto biography of a man of his! transcendent genius a work pf rare value and unrivalled interest.—Eveniny paper. ThSISTOL, Nor. 14.—Yesterday was the anniver sary o f the birth and death (for be died on his n a t a l d ay) of Brist.ol's great benefactor, Edward Colston. In ac cordance With annual custom, the different societies formed to commemorate the philanthropist held their annual dinner, and upwards of 1,000/ was collected to be expended in tie ensuing winter in the relief of ne cessitous and deserv.ag persons. Two of the charities, the Anchor Society and the Dolphin Society, partake to some extent of a political character. The former dined at the Royal Gloucester liot,-I—W. G. Langton, Esq., son of the late Member for East Somerset, in the chair; and its collection amounted to about 4201. The Dolphin dinner, which was pm sided over by J. D. Pountney, Esq., took place at the. White Lion Hotel; its collection amounted to about :3201. A third society, the Grateful, is neutral in its character, being sup% ported by persons of all shades in politics; its dinner took place at the Montague Hotel, and its collection amounted to 375/. AMERICAN ENTIIUSIASM.—An American editor prints the following appendage to a marriage advertise ment:—" We caught a refreshinc , glimpse of this inter esting and lovely pair as they whi rled through Rochester on their matrimonial tour to our great American Niagara Falls, in the fulness of a love called into being by his devotion to the cause of our despised people. We wish our friend Cadwell long life and unending fields of hap pineso." POLISH BALL AT GUILDHALL. (From the Morning Advertiser.) By the kind forbearance of the Times, this evening " they who are perpetually wafting a sigh to the Poles are determined on easing their sorrows by a dance in the City, and the City authorities follow the precedent of former years, by granting the use of Guildhall." This " privilege is gr an t e d on the condition that the City ate thorities, and th ose who go to the ball, mu s t prepare to receive and accept applications for their favour on other occasions, when British patronage and British polkas will be danced for the benefit of those who are suffering at home, without the attendant blessing of a `ski' or an 'off to their vulgar names." Without pausing to indicate the taste with which our contemporary ex presses his sensibility, so much offended by the vulgarity of Polish names, we must cong ratulate th e P o l es that they come off so well, after th e effort which has been made to damage their cause in the article from which these elegantice are selected. The thunders of Blackfriara have been let loose most unmercifully ; they ha ve sounded and resounded from Pole to Pole, and yet a s we mentioned yesterday, the demand for tickets has been incessant, not one lady having been intimidated by the authoritative announcement, that she ought not to go. The cause of failure is worth a little inquiry. It may be, perhaps, that the voice of that paper is not deemed worthy of very high regard on any subject in which the interests of hurdanity and charity are con cerned. We have had occasion to comment sometimes on the coarse mirth and levity with which our contem porary is accustomed to indulge in reference to serious, important, and laudable objects. A man who gets into the way of laughing at and ridiculing the objects in which the generality of people take an interest, :and which they treat with earnestness, cannot be surprised if he should receive for himself or his opinions very little respect or attention. Sir Walter Scott used to tell of a gentleman he met in company, who was remarkably unfortunate in timing the expression of his feelings to the subjects which might happen to be on the carpet. He was generally half an hour before he perceived the point of anything which might be the subject of conversation, and the result was extremely ludi crous and amusing. A gentleman might tell a very tragic tale, which he would conclude amidst appropriate expressions of sorrow from all the company, except this man of slow apprehension. half an heur after, when the conversation had assumed a cheerful and lively character, our gentleman would appear in great distress, and give utterance to a deep sigh or heavy groan, for by that time he had understood the suffering, when everybody else had forgotten it. In the same manner the laugh at a mirthful tale would come out, perhaps, in the midst of some most distressing and huge. brious narration. This man puts us in - mind of the Times, whose habit seems to be, to groan when it should laugh, and to laugh when it should sigh. We think this is generally perceived, and may partly account for the indifference with which everybody seems to regard la r mentations made over the excessive end misapplied cha rity of the English people in giving their patronage to the Polish ball. Another reason for the literary impotence in this matter may be found in the small fact, that his allegations on the subject are not in perfect keeping with what is considered to be the real state of the case, the merits of which he has attempted to settle. It is alleged that the Polish exiles need not stay in this land—that they are idly loitering in the West when they should serve their nation in the East. It is said, " Prussian Poland is opened to the exiled patriot, even if its Russian neighbour be closed fagainst them. The Pan-Sclavonic party in Austria would rejoice at the fresh infusion of Sclavonic blood in the members of the I disturbed empire." Now, this sounds very well; but, unfortunately, it is written without a perfect acquain tance with the subject in discussion. A very good authority tells the 7 imes, what it has not been able to contradict, that " the Poles cannot return to Prussian Poland without a passport from the Prussian Minister, and that passport is granted to natives of Prussian Po. land only, and not in all cases even to them. It was re fused in one instance to a native of Prussian Poland, unless he could give satisfactory testimony as to his conduct for the last seventeen years. Austrian Poland is in like manner closed against all Poles who are not natives of that part of Poland held by Austria." It is an ugly thing to get a false assertion into an argument, inasmuch as the result is sure to damage the logical structure into which it has been introduced. It is argued that the Poles ought to leave us, for their native country is now open to them; and were this true, we should say they ought to go, or at least not receive English charity. But the Times is innocent on the subject—it writes in the dark; the day is not arrived in which thereisa "Poland for the Poles." By the way, the 7'imes knows, for it quotes what Lord Dudley Stuart has said on the willingness of the Poles to return to their own country whenever they can. " Lord Dudley's own words:—' Some few years ago there were about 700 Poles receiving a weekly allow ance from the Treasury, and about 60 or 70, whose cases did not come withha the rules of the Treasury, and who received weekly relief from the As sociation of the Friends of Poland. The num ber of the former is now reduced to about 350 and that of the latter to about 302 " Is there not in this fact sufficient proof that there is on the part of the Poles no wish to loiter in the west: when they can go to the east, and visit again the land from which they are exiles? The Times, therefore, cannot damage the Poles by its articles, for this reason, that they are altogether incorect in their representations. Another thing which ma, ao. count for the failure to damage the Polish ball, is the disgust which is inspired by witnessing an attempt to prevent the exercise of hospitality to the stranger. If people have a mind in this way to cheer the heart of the exile we do not see why ally one should come forward to prohibit the flow of charity.. A fine character England would receive for its virtu* among other nations, if she would submit to the dictation which now proposes to con trol the exercise of her benevolence. It has long been the glory of England to be the Ito me of the exile, the refuge and harbour of the distressed; but if people would do as they are told to do, we should social acquire a n ame as od i ous as that which attaches to the mentor who proposes to regulate the exercises of tine national will. If we un derstand the policy recom mended in reference to the Poles, it is that they shound. be so distressed, by the neglect they meet in England, that they should resolve to go and throw their lives ass Ity in any foreign revolution in which they may succeed in acting a part, or in any army that may give them a good chance of being shot at. This is the interpretation we feel disposed to put on the language, when it is said—" Let it not be supposed that we wish to drive these in to resting visitors from our shores. We have no wish t. ) neutralise a prolonged hos pitality by a sudden pets ecution." Perhaps not—but then, why lirite expressly . for this purpose? We have no sympathy with this raf nle of disposing of the dise tressed. It would be a the sip way of getting rid of the Poles, but it is hardly Chri it inn or English. 1 •.: - t • cr ~,,, "....-.-:,1:04:i-4-, Vi '.--''... .. -s..N i '.' , A ; ~ , spik `'..i'ly," .x- ,,, -. . ~..., ir .,- .
