" To my great astonishment and concern, my attention has lately been called to several anonymous articles and advertisements headed by my name, such as in the -, whose author altogether misrepresents the motives of my remarks, and even goes so far as to say 'that I had never analysed your beer, nor perhaps ever tasted it in my life,' and to allege a retractation on my part of the original statement. " I emphatically declare that I had not the slightest knowledge of these anonymous articles, the contents of which I entirely disapprove of; and that in every respect I adhere to the statement made in my letter to you, which certainly you were, and are at perfect liberty to publish.

" If I wished t) associate with any individual brewery my re marks on the alleged adulteration of bitter beer with strychnine, it would have been only natural to have mentioned another brewery, in which alone, and not in Mr. Allsopp's, I was engaged in investigating the Burton mode of brewing : and it was also in that brewery and not in Mr Allsopp's, that the Bavarian brewers acquired all the in structions they obtained at Burton. The admiration I expressed of this beverage in my letter to Mr. Allsopp is advertised in such a manner as to lead to the inference that my praise was exclusively confined to Mr. Allsopp's beer; this was not the case, my remarks referred to that CLASS of beer. hiN 4 011 to ; ber" WEEK DAYS at Xi z 8 SUNDAYS to 274; Time.

We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his rower to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. —" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this listressing malady by translating this little hook, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperma torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady "—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852. —" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the ' brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one Interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April 15,1852.

Such ire cases ix., xi., xii., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally removed in as many weeks.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—We publish this morning another letter on that subject which has lately occupied so many practised heads, of adjusting the income-tax to a standard of great fairness and equity. Few persons, we apprehend, will he at any loss to appreciate the fact stated by our correspondent, that whereas the dissentient "economists" could come to no agree meent, even among themselves, on the anxioms by which the present system was to be defended, the " actuari , -s" were not only unanimous in condemning it, but were of one accord upon the principles which they alleged to convict it of injustice. This is little less than saying that ell practical men conversant with the subject are of one clear opinion respecting 'he unfairness of the present impost, while the oppo site doctrine is rnaintaizied solely by a few theorists who contradict n 0 .,; only their adversaries but each other. We have already observed that the whole case stands prejudged by the rational instincts of every man's mind. When a person is told in cir cuitous or technical phraseology that 1001. a year in profits taken over the counter is as good as 1001. a years in Consols, his common sense teaches him that somewhere or other there lurks a sophism in the proof. He may be too plain a man to be able to wrangle with an " economist," but he will assuredly remain unconvinced, and not only in will but in judg ment. It may take some time, perhaps, and no little pains to expose the particular error on which the fal lacy rests, but a fallacy it will inevitably prove to be. In the letter, for instance, to which we are now referring, will be found an exposure of Mr. War burton's theory—that uncertainty or variability of income receives an adequate consideration in the un certainty or variability of taxation without any modi fication of the per tentage taken, and that if when a man ceased to earn he ceased to pay, there could be no injustice in his payments keeping pace with his earnings as long as they lasted. We pointed out the feleity of this doctrine the other day by showing that a sovereign precariously returned was not, to any intent or purpose, or for any period of time, identical with a sovereign coming in as one of a fixed and permanent influx of sovereigns. Our correspondent now remarks in the same spirit, that the fallacy is actually contained in the double use of the word " income." An income 1,0001. a year derived from land or the funds leaves the capital wholly uncurtailed and entire, and is income in the strictest sense of the word ; a like return de rived from professional labour or trade does not leave the capital untouched, but absorbs more or less of it every year in what is more familiarly termed the " wear and tear" of the individual concerned. The capital of the proprietor is something which will pro duce an income spontaneously and infallibly, not only year after year, but generation after generation, re maining always just as complete and productive as ever. The capital of the tradesman is constituted of his own fleeting powers and the precarious favours of the public, a portion of it being consumed every year in the manufacture of income, until sooner or later it sinks with its possessor. To call the produce, there fore, of these two capitals by the same title of " income," and to treat this income as in both cases identical, is an abuse of terms. Mr. Babbage asserts that the income "of a whole profession," as that of the bar, for instance, "is in general quite as permanent as that of the landlord, and more certain in its payment." It is strange that so experienced a writer should not have seen the fal lacy of such an argument as this. Assuming that the assertion is literally true (which we very much doubt), it proves nothing at all respecting the only point in question—the certainty of each barrister's particular earnings. The income of a body of land lords is subject to no competition or division—it is their income, and theirs only, and they pro rata must always share it between them ; but the income of a " whole profession," which was divisible among 5,000 practitioners one year, may be divided between 7,000 the next ; and, what is more, any one of these may have been supplanted by a substitute. If a barrister, from loss of health or any other cause, ceases to earn his 7001. or 8001. a year, this amount of income is certainly not deducted from " the income of the whole profession," which may, of course, remain the same, but it is lost to the particular recipient ne vertheless, and his case is not improved by the circum stance of some other person's getting it. Similarly, his 8001. may be cut down to 4001. by the effect of competition, and, though the gross earnings of the whole profession may still stand at the same amount, he will be 50 per cent. poorer than he was. To none of these liabilities is a landlord exposed, for his in come is wholly independent of his own exertions, and is more likely, indeed, to be increased than diminished through that growth of the population by which trades and professions are overcrowded. It is in this respect that his receipts differ from those of a barrister, and it is plain nonsense to maintain that every lawyer must needs always make the same income, however he is circum stanced, simply because the English nation spends a pretty constant amount of money annually in law. Again, Mr. Babbage remarks that " during a series of years the annual profit of each trade, profession,or class respectively is little less fluctuating than that arising from rents of houses or lands, and much less so than that from railways." This is making a rule out of an exception. Doubtless in come may be occasionally found of such a descrip tion as to surpass in certainty occasional descriptions of property, and Irish landlords, for example, may b e represented as enjoying very equivocal advantages over English tradesmen. But if Mr. Babbage means to say that such inversions are of sufficient frequency to make out a case of equality between property and no property, he is begging the whole question. His argument is of no avail unless it im ports that every tradesman and every practitioner, upon an average of years, receives an income a s stable, as certain, and as permanent a s ever y la ndlord or every fundholder. If this can be proved, then we should admit that the distinction between in come and property is lost; but Mr. Babbage proves no such thing. It is certainly not impos. sible that by adjusting the demands of the tax. gatherer to an acknowledged superiority of Property over income we might create certain cases of injus tice. " Property," here and there, might be of such a character as to be less desirable or productive than the " income" taxed at a lower rate in the adjoining house, but these cases must clearly be exceptional and rare, whereas the injustice under the present system is universal and regular. As a general rule, realised property may always be considered superior to precarious profits, and it is by such general rules that legislation should be determined. If Mr. Bab bage does really dread the injustice of treating a rail way shareholder like a fortunate proprietor, with what feelings should he regard the actual treatment of all the tradesmen and practitioners in the kingdom as the eubstantial equals of landlords or fundholders ? For one such case as could occur under his hypothesis a thousand actually occur under the existing system, and if once an appeal is made to this kind of " justice" we do not see how the present income-tax can be defensible for a moment. HE 11 A L D. —Notwithstanding the croakings of the Chronicle, the Times, and the Daily News, every dispassionate person must see that the condition of Ireland is slowly yet perceptibly improving —and, unless something very untoward occurs during the autumn and winter, we may reasonably expect that by the summer of 1833 the sister country will have successfully overcome the worst crisis of her history. Though, in isolated districts, there are now, as any time during half a century, occasional breaches of the peace—some agrarian outrages—and one or two crimes of desperate and wicked criminality, yet, on the whole, we repeat, n otwithstanding the mischievous activity of Roman Catholic priests and bishops, the material prosperity of the country is increasing, and men look hopefully to the Government of Lord Derby and the Viceroyalty.of the Earl of Eglinton as sure to bring, sooner or later, healing and recovery. The Irish Funds and securities, joint-stock compa nies and railway shares, were never higher than in the present season. Irish Bank Stock, which three months ago stood at the very high figure of 220, is even now, maugre all the predictions of a deficient harvest and potato failure, quoted so high as 219!, and there is no reason why, in the course of a fort night, it may not again reach the figure at which it stood in the latter days of July, or even a still higher quotation. Imports and exports are in creasing, bankruptcies and insolvencies are diminish. ing, while throughout the country the number of inmates in the workhouses have diminished a third, one half, and even in some instances in greater num. hers. Within the last six weeks we have read of cases in which there was not to be found a single able bodied pauper in certain Irish unions, and other cases in which the inmates were exclusively composed of the aged, the halt, the lame, and the blind. These cheering indications and favourable circumstances seh,east ra quick u a and are shad e d somew h a t by the sombre fact, that the stream of ick emigration still rolls darkly on, and that day by day em i gran t s are h as t en in g fr om n orth and w s e u s c t e , e t s o si q on uit of a lttndwh calamitiesich w having had to stream of emigration still rolls darkly on, and that day by day emigrants are hastening from north and south, east and west, to quit a land which having had to bear deemed by many in a hopeless crisis. It is, however, con solatory to know that the places of these emigrants are being filled up by Scotch and English settlers, who, equalling the Irish in general industry, surpass th e m in fortitude and perseverance, and in the Wks- pensible requisite of possessing some capital. We shall thus have an infusion of new—if not of better blood ; and we hesitate not to say, that more money and well-directed energy will come into the country by means of the new settlers than has been taken away by the old. It is plain, from the accounts of B illinaaloe Fair just received, th et a gricultural stock and produce of all kinds are on the increase, and are fetching better prices. Not merely the number, but the quality and breed of stock and of domestic animals have been improved, as may be easily learned at the markets of Liverpool, Manchester, Congleton, Crewe, and Stafford, as well as at the ship[ing ports of Cork, Waterford, and Dublin. The landowner and the grazier, as well as the tenant-farmer and oc cupier, feel that something will be really done in the ensuing session by the Irish Attorney-Gene ral, Mr. Napier, to place the relations of Irish landlord and tenant on a better footing, and, this accomplished, it may be hoped a free career will be given to Irish industry, always supposing the priests do not mischievously attempt to mar a prosperity created without their aid, if not against their wishes. Of course we do not mean to say that Mr. Napier will take for his model the Bill, or anything like the Bill, of that indulgent landlord and amiable visionary Mr. Sharman Crawford. Even the sturdy English Radical and Manchester cotton-spinner John Bright, does not seem to expect this, as clearly appears from his speech at Belfast on Monday lad. Nay, Mr. Bright, with the sturdy good sense which be occa sionally exhibits, tells his Belfast adreirers that he does not go the length of Mr. Sharma!? Crawford, but would be content with a measure far less sweeping, and, we may ourselves add, far less unjust. Doctrines savouring of spoliation and an agrarian law are not yet relished in Manchester, or in any town or hamlet in England, however favourably such doctrines may be received cod embraced by the Lucases and the G, van Duffys, by the M'Mahons and the Shees—tht Ilurphys and the O'Briens of the new Parliament. Mr. Bright admits that the question of landlord and tenant in Ireland is a difficult one—that it has engaged the at tention of more than one Government—and that no measure has yet been framed to meet the exigency of the case. But while stating these wele known facts he gives Mr. Napier credit for sincere and honest in tentions, and all men must allow that the Irish At torney General possesses as thorough a knowledge of the subject as any living man. There are consider ably more than a hundred statutes bearing on the re lations of landlord and tenant, and my one who handles the question must not only hive regard to these and their operation, but have regard also to the indefeasible property of the landlord, and the ex pended capital, industry, and skill of the tenant. While, on the one hand, care should be taken to allow the tenant for permanent and unethausted im provements a fair value, on the other land, nothing should be done to shake or weaken the inprescriptible title and fee of the proprietor of the soil. ..;:o deal fairly between landlord and tenant-- .t( maintain the rights of the one and to secure the irdustry of the other, is the cardinal and capital point at which Mr. Napier and every honest man—whether connected with the Government or not—should unerringly aim. The priests, however, and their nominees, have no such just and equitable objects in view, Their design and desire is to eject the present proprietary of Ire land, and to substitute in their places the tenant farmers and the occupying tenants. As the one are chiefly Protestant, educated and independent, and the other Roman Catholic, illiterate, and enslaved to Mother Church, the scheme is no bad one for the priests if it could be realised. But Mr. Bright, ex treme in opinions though he be—refuses to go any thing like this length, and we doubt that one English member can be found so bold and reckless—we may add so dishonest. Even the sacred band of 40 (rather a sacra bande than a bande mere), when it comes to the point, will many of them fail "to screw their courage to the sticking place." To be sure, as old Mr. Joseph Hume says, the Irish priest members are so extravagant that they may occasionally, or even often, do anything to discrdit or damage a party or a cause; but, withal, it will be generally found that the loudest-tongued of these brawlers have ge nerally a pretty good eye to the main charge. For ourselves we dare be sworn that the most inveterate s uppliants—the most pertinacious Treasury-beggars of the whole House of Commons, will be found among these noisy, counterfeit, pinchbeck patriots, the no minees of the Irish priests. There is not a vacant judgeship, there is not a. vacant assistant barristership, there is not a vacant mastership in Ceencery, police magistracy, or consulship, which these men will not ask of the First Lord of the Treasury weer and over again for themselves, their relatives, their friends, and connections. The late Earls Grey and Spencer, the late Viscount Melbourne, even the late Sir Robert Peel, and every Irish Viceroy for the last twenty-three years, has, and have had, and, we may aid, that their successors will continue to have, more requests and solicitations from this " patriotic and unpurchaseable hand," to use their own turgid and fustian phrase ology, than from all the sections of the House of Commons put together. In past times these men and their fellows used repeal as they are now using tenant right. They made it a pretence and a delusion, to carry their own personal and sordid purposes. Thus we have seen, in times past, an Irish Repeal Member for Galway town (Mr. A. H. Lynch) converted into an English Master in Chancery—thus we have seen a Repeal Member for King's County (Mr. Nicholas Fitzsimon) converted into a paid police magistrate— thus we have seen a Repeal Member for Drogheda town (Mr. C. O'Dwyer) converted into Filacer of the Irish Exchequer,with a retiring pension of '2,000/. per annum—thus we have seen a Repeal Member for Meath county (Mr. Morgan O'Connell) converted into a Register of Deeds —thus we have a Repeal Member for Limerick county (Sir David Roche) made a baronet, and a Repeal Member for Waterford (Mr. Barron) created Sir Winston Barron—thus we have seen a Repeal Member for Cashel, Mr. Stock, made a serjeant in Ireland, and a judge of an ecclesi astical court—thus we have seen another Repeal Member for a southern borough, Mr. B ill, made a Justice of Common Pleas—a Repeal Member for Clonmel, Mr. Pigott, made a Chief Baron ; and the bro ther of a Repeal Member for Limerick, Mr. J. O'Brien, made a sergeant—thus we have seen a Repeal candi date for Parliament, Mr. Daniel O'Connell, jun., made an English consul in a foreign state—and the father of repeal, and the father of the consul, the late Daniel O'Connell, himself the hughest place beggar fur his kith, kin, and faction, ever sent forth from Ireland. From the history and records of the past, Lord Derby will see how much he has to dread the enmity of the " sacred 40" of the Tenant League. Their inappeasable, staunchless thirst for place and pension he may well dread, for he cannot satisfy their cravings or their covetousness; but their enmity he may alike defy and despise. There is not one among the 40 who would not act by the Tenant League as the sacred tail of old acted by that huge swindle called Re pale. CHRONICLE.—Since we last discussed the sub ject of life assurance, we have freely opened our columns to the communications, not only of corres pondents who ooneur in nor own views, but of others who more or less differ with us. As we have already said, we have no desire to see a monopoly established in this branch of enterprise. We have no objection to new insurance offices merely because they are new ; nor do we quarrel with novel experiments in insurance simply because they have not been tried before. With these feelings, we have willingly left all parties to speak for themselves, and we have gladly given pub licity to the views of writers who have called in question either our facts or our conclusions. The result of the discussion which has taken place has been to corroborate both the one and the other; and at the same time our views have incidentally received additional confirmation frem quarters totally inde pendent either of the partisans or of the opponents of any class of life assurance companies. For example, we published a few days ago the Report of the Se lect Committee of last session on Friendly Societies. That document emphatically insists on the neces sity " of checking the formation of delusive and ill founded schemes for establishing life assurance com panies ;" and the Committee add—" This is a subject of so important and critical a nature that, although your Committee do not feel justified, by the terms of their reference, to enter upon it in detail, yet they think it right to press it upon the notice of the House." When we turn to the evidence taken by the Com mittee, we certainly cannot wonder at this strong ex pression of opinion. A single specimen may suffice. Mr. Jellicoe, one of the vice-presidents of the Insti tute of Actuaries, and an authority whose compe tency on such matters will hardly be called in ques tion, was asked—" In what manner do you think the present great competition between different offices is working an evil ?" His reply was as follows: " The necessity which a young company finds to obtain a certain amount of business induces persons forming companies to go to a most extrava gant expense in order to obtain the requisite amount of business, and that expense is so out of proportion to the income which they are now enabled to obtain by it that the condition in wh ich the y are in conse quence is anything but desirable." This reply sub stantially embodies the practical purport of what we have already written on the subject. To those who have deemed our remarks unjust towards particular offices which happened to be included among the twenty-five which we selected for the purposes of illustration, it may suffice to repeat that we founded our arguments, not on solitary cases, but on average results. If any one desires to see of what elements the average is composed, the details are all before him ; and as an average necessarily implies that some of the facts of which it is the mean expression are better, and some worse, than the medium, it cannot be said that so long as the sounder companies are conspicuously distinguished, they suffer any injustice by being comprised in tabular calculation which would not be irnpirtial if it left them out. F, notwithstanding the presence of a few favourable cases, the average of a fairly chosen group of instances is decidedly unfa vourable, it is obvious that there is something wrong in the system which, tried by its general results, is found to be so unsatisfactory. We are aware that the list of twenty-five offices analysed io our former ar ticle includes some respectable and bona fide compa nies; but they are in no danger of being confounded with others of a different character, for the distinction is too clearly indicated by the figures to leave room for a moment's uncertainty. It is important, how ever, that no secondary topic should divert the atten tion of the public from the great practical question—How is the business of Life As surance to be placed on a sound and secure footing ? We have already suggested that one of the most effectual safeguards against reckless specula tion and extravagant management would be the pos session, by each Insurance Company, of a certain amount of paid•up capital. There may be differences of opinion as to what that amount ought to be. To ourselves it appears that a Life Assurance office ought to be rendered at least as secure as a Joint stock Bank, by being required to possess a minimum paid-up capital of 50,0001. Let us examine for a moment the principal argument against this proposi tion. It is said, in the first place, that a Life office needs no capital—a statement which we do not admit —and in the next, that to compel an Insurance Com pany to commence with a paid-up capital of any considerable amount would be to impose an incubus on its progress, by absorbing nearly all the profits of the business in the payments of a dividend to the proprietors. But what are the facts ? The 50,0001. would of course be employed profitably— it would not be locked up in an iron chest—it would earn interest as well as pay it. Considering the facilities which Insurance Companies possess for investing their funds—and also considering that the cost of managing the capital would be included in the general expenses of the office-4i per cent. per annum may be safely assumed as the net rate of in terest which the sum in question would bring in. Suppose further, that the dividend to the proprietors is at the usual rate of 5 per cent. per annum—it fol lows that the difference between what the capital earns and what it pays will be only three-fourths, or 153., per cent. per annum ; and this per ceivage, applied to the 50,0001„ gives precisely 3751. a year as the whole of the sum to be deducted from the profits of the insurers in order to afford them the benefit of an adequate g uaranteeing capital. Surely 3751. is not so heavy an annual charge as to be fatal to the growth of a solid and vigorous institut ion. Compared with the amounts set forth in the accounts of the twenty five new companies, as the yearly average of their expenses during the first three years of their existence, it is a mere trifle, and may be readily made good by retrenchment in seine of those manifold modes of out lay which the Parliamentary return discloses. But in estimating the real annual cost of the 50,000/. capital at 3751., we have stated the case unfavourably to our own argument. It is probable that, speaking generally, the companies might obtain more than 41- per cent. on the investment of their stationary funds; and there is no reason why, in the infancy of a life office, the shareholders should receive as much as 5 per cent. dividend. Taking these considerations into account, it will be found that a capital of 50,000/. need not, during the early existence of an office, impose a charge of more than 2001. a year on the profits of the business. So much for the plea that the possession of capital by an insurance company is necessarily injurious to the insurers by absorbing the profits on their policies. Those who urge this argument, and who talk as if every penny of the shareholders divi dends was paid by the insurers, entirely forget that the utmost extent to which the profits can be diminished is confined to the difference between the interest which the capital earns from the public, and the dividend which it pays to the proprietors. Having thus met the only plausible objection to the principle of requir ing Insurance Companies to possess a certain amount of paid-up capital, we may safely leave the positive recommendations of the plan to speak for themselves. When it is remembered that every new Life-office is to a great extent an experiment, and one of a more or less hazardous character, it will be felt that there is an obvious advantage to insurers in dealing with par ties who have something to lose, and who have money of their own to take care of, as well as the annual savings of other people. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. THE LONDON AND NORTLI-WESTERN AND THE GREAT WESTERN COMPANIES. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.—To-day, at noon, one of the largest and most influential meetings ever held in Liverpool upon railway affairs assembled at the Clarendon Rooms, South John - stre et. The meeting consisted of shareholders in the London and North- Western and in the Great Western Railways, and had been convened by advertisement bearing the sig nature of Mr. 11. C. Beloe, the railway accountant. The object was stated to be to consider the present crisis in the affairs of the two companies, and so great was the interest manifested that long before the hour of meeting numerous influential gentlemen holding s m h e a e r t e i s ng in both speedilylineshad became inconveniently crowded. e Eyre Evans, Esq., was called to the chair by accla mation; Mr. Beloe, accountant, officiated as secretary. Amongst the gentlemen present we noticed — Thomas E. Moss, Rutson, Alexander M'Gregor, James Tyrer, William Rathbone, Elias Arnaud, William Hall, James Buchanan, William Sandbach, John A. Tinney, Henry Crosfield, T. F. Bennett, Raymond Houghton, J. C. Harter, Christopher H. Jones, and J. Eddlestone, Esqrs.; there were also a great many shareholders, with whose names we are unacquainted, but who were stated to have come from distant parts, and some of whom are reported to hold large interests in both the great companies. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the meeting, said he should refer the meeting to Mr. Beloe for an explanation of the circumstances under which they had been called together, which were briefly set forth in the necessity that existed of endea vouring to devise some measures for promoting a conciliatory course between the two great companies, whose present hosti'e conduct towards each other was inflicting a vast amount of injury on the property of the shareholders in both.—(Elear, hear.) Mr. BELOE, after reading the notice convening the meeting, proceeded to say that he apprehended it was not required that he should plead a justification for calling the present meeting, as the very numerous attendance proved the deep interest which the share holders took in the present state of the affairs of the two companies. —(Bear.) There was, and not unna turally, great apprehension entertained by a numerous and respectable body of gentlemen interested in both companies for the safety of their property in those lines, if the hostile attitude now assumed by each to the other were allowed to proceed much further.—(Cheers.) They bad looked with fear, not unmixed with hope, to the result of the recent correspondence between the two chairmen (Mr. Glyn and Mr. Russell) ; and that correspondence had ended in nothing more than the resignation of Mr. Glyn. In approaching this subject, he would urge upon the meeting the necessity of adopting everything that was likely to forward the conciliatory purposes which the promoters of this meeting had in view. It had been very justly said, by a writer in the Railway. Times, that abuse of both boards was easy enough, and that the shareholders were too apt to give waY t.° hasty and ill-tempered remarks when they property in danger from what they believed to e the fmorestthwas, however, erroneous policy of the directors. It saw their (Hear.) In any debate, he (Mr. Beloe) would leioktfei time y t e s t from any animadversions of things was a remedy, respectivehwa a t s eachbes best boardconi calculatedp pursuedny,a to od advancetthh e a tw course htabt e thatwin terestsa s andw r therefore, e a g n u t of the two boards ; to remember that this had been convened for conciliation, and to re etehsdte f g o we r ntaht t yl h ae e ttmo p me r nai e gpt s op e h lntaytb ensue, abstain a s . s_i t un e e , re flect that the directors . of both companies were so situated that it wa . s . difficult for them to approach m on ee t t h i e bg policy each other in a spirit that was likely to lead to the desired result.—(Cheers.) It was, therefore, exceed - ingly advisable that an able, influential, and intelli gent committee of joint shareholders should be appointed, who might enter upon the whole question, and devise some method by which the two boards would be enabled to come to an amicable understand ing.—(Loud cheers.) The crisis had arrived in the affairs of both companies at which it was incumbent on the shareholders to step forward and save their property from impending ruin ; this was felt by a large body of gentlemen with whom he (the speaker) had held: correspondence on the subject, and after ma ture deliberation the present meeting had been re , solved upon, for the purpose of appointing such a com- mittee as he had referred to, and to effect which a resolution had been prepared, which he would now read :—" That, in the opinion of this meet ing, the hostile attitude and fruitless negotiations of those two great companies, viz , the London and North-Western and the Great Western Railway Com panies, are pernicious to the interests of the share holders ; that it is expedient a committee of gentlemen interested in both companies should be formed fur the purpose of immediately conferring with the several baards of direction, in order to ascertain the extent of the differences existing between them, with a view to promote some ami cable arrangement ; and that, in pursuance of this object, the following gentlemen, with power to add three to their number, be appointed a committee to report to a further meeting, to be called by advertise ment, viz. :—Eyre Evans, Esq, of Liverpool; Robert Wood ward, Esq , ditto ; Henry Clay, E-q., near Hereford; W. Fenton, DI., banker, Rochdale; and Alexander Macgregor, Esq., of Liverpool." The reading of this: resolution was received with the most perfect cordiality, and Mr. Beloe resumed his seat amidst loud and protracted cheering. The CHAIRMAN observed that after the explanation which the meeting bad heard from the secretary he had only to remark that he hoped the resolution would be discussed with good feeling; and that, while keeping in view the interests of the share holders, the committee would, if appointed, not neg lect the interests of the public ; if they did, they would soon become very unpopular, and their objects would be thwarted in other places.—(Hear). The resolution having been formally moved by Mr. BUCHANAN and seconded by Mr. BARDSWELL, A SHAREHOLDER inquired if the gentlemen named in the resolution had stated the amount of their re spective holdings in the two companies? Mr. BELOE replied that Mr. Clay and Mr. Fenton were very large shareholders in both ; it was difficult to state the precise amount, but the other three gen tlemen, being locally well known, might, perhaps, speak for themselves. Another SHAREHOLDER wished the name of Mr. William Rathbone to be placed on the committee. They knew that he had large holdings in both com panies, and more than that, they knew that he was neither to be bought nor sold.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said he would himself gladly be excused, if the meeting thought fit to appoint some one else.—(No, no.) A conversation rather than a regular discussion hereupon ensued; in the course of which the name of Mr. Benjamin Pierrepont, formerly Mayor of War rington, was proposed as one of the committee. It was stated that this gentleman holds very largely in both companies, and his selection was urged as a man of honourable conduct and strict business habits. Mr. ARNAUD then proceeded to read speech to the meeting, in which he deprecated the competitive principle pursued by the two companies, and con tended that the following out of that system of Dutch auction dealing would lead to the ruin of the share holders in both. He instanced the case of the Shrewsbury line, which was opposed by the London and North-Western ; he was a shareholder in the former line, but since its opening it had never paid a penny dividend. He was opposed to high fares, but an advocate of remunerative fares, and contended that shareholders were entitled to adequate recom pense for the use of their money, in opening those roads to the public ; and was proceeding to argue in favour of amalgamation, whom an almost unanimous shout of " No amalgamation," induced Mr. Arnaud to omit that portion of his address; and after some further remarks in reference to the example set by those two competing lines—the South-Western and the Brighton and South-Coast Railways—each of them about ninety-six miles in length, but both too wise to underbid each other, Mr. Arnaud resumed his seat. A SHAREHOLDER observed, that while he concurred in much of what had fallen from the gentleman who had just sat down, he thought they would only be doing mischief by introducing irrelevant matter. Mr. CROSFIELD made some inquiries in regard to the holdings of the three gentlemen of Liverpool who were nominated on the committee. Mr. Wu. RATHRONE considered it of far more im portance that high. minded and honourable men should constitute the committee than to choose those who were merely large shareholders. He had no objection to any of the names proposed. Mr. HODGSON, while concurring in the remarks of the preceding speaker, would observe, that in selecting men merely on account of being large shareholders, it one gentleman held fifty shares in one company and only a few in another, they must expect that his mind would to some extent be swayed by his interests. He advocated the expediency of ascertaining the intended policy of the two companies before appointing a cone mittee.—(Laughter.) He did not wish it to go abroad that this meeting was unduly desirous of interiering with the two boards of directors, but that the share holders saw the necessity of taking some steps to save their interests from ruin.—(Cheers.) After a brief, desultory conversation, The CHAIRMAN put the resolution, which was una nimously adopted. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, who briefly acknowledged the compliment ; and The meeting, which it was expected would have been very stormy, but which, on the contrary, was characterised by the greatest harmony, immediately broke up. The proceedings excited the deepest interest through out Liverpool. IRELAND. CHARGE OF MURDER. DUBLIN, FRIDAY. —Early in September last the re port of proceedings at an inquest, held on the body of Mrs. Kirwan, the wife of a Dublin artist, was published. The verdict was to the effect that slir was accidentally drowned while bathing at Ireland's Eye, a small island off the coast of Dublin. No suspicion at the time was entertained that a murder had been committed. It appears that an Arklow fisherman had been sailing by the island, and heard violent screams, which ceased as ho approached the place. He then continued his course ; but on arriving at his house he informed the police of Wicklow of what he had heard. When the report of the inquest appeared in the papers, the police of Wicklow informed those of Dublin of the facts that bad been communicated by the fisherman; whereupon the body was exhumed, and a post-mortem examination held upon it. The result was that the medical exami ners came to the conclusion the woman was not drowned but strangled. Suspicion immediately attached to the husband, especially as he married another woman in a few days after the catastrophe. He has been arrested, and was yesterday brought before Major Brownrigg at the Castle, by whom he was remanded to prison. This day he will be brought before the magistrates at nowth for further examination. SEABORNE MAILS.

H e p aints and greases himself with studious care, and dallies elegantly with his pipe and tomahawk. lie aspires to possess a look ing, g i oa , and when he gets one, dresses by it more than seven times a day. It is, however, not only a vain thing; it is serviceable to him in the prairie, since, by flashing it against the sun, he can make signals visible to distant friends before his own dark b o dy i s t o b e descried ; and that, o n many critical occasions, may be a property that makes the looking-glass a valuable friend. Mr. Sullivan estimates the smoking . power of the Indian at fifty pipes a day, but his tobacco is diluted with three times its quantity of the dried bark of the red willow, which makes it hotter to the mouth, but much diminishes its sedative effect. —D ickens' s House hold Words. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO THE PRINCIPALITY. (From the North Wales Chronicle.) The inhabitants of Bangor no sooner heard of her Majesty's intentions than they simultaneously re sponded to the invitation which, at the instance of the Hon. Colonel Pennant and other magistrates, we had the honour of sending out on Monday evening, and attended in large force, and of nil classes of rank, religion, and p o liti cs , f u ll o f a ff ect i onate zea l an d de votion, at a public meeting, in the sessions room, on the following morning. It was f e l t t h at t h ere was little time permitted for pr e p arat i on, an d a s k etc h o f the general desire being extemporised, a committee was formed, and a sub.cr ip,ion immediately entered upon. Colonel Pennant instantly put his name down for 201, and in a few minutes time upwards of 50/., since in creased we hear to upwards of 1301., was raised towards defraying the incidental expenses. Th e comm i ttee entered upon their duties the same afternoon, and a programme was determined upon, from whi c h we learn that triumphal arches are to be erected along the line of her Majesty's route from the railway sta. tion to the Penrhyn Arms Hotel ; that the benefit societies of the town and neighbourhood are to be in vited to come with their flags, banners, emblems, and music, to line the streets, which will also give every individual amongst them a capital opportunity of see ing and greeting the royal person ; that as her Ma jesty is much interested in promoting the extension of education amongst the children of the poorer classes, the various schools of all denominations are to be offered a conspicuous position in the line of march ; that there is to be a splendid display of fireworks ; that bonfires will be made on the heights ; but that no general illumination is to be proclaimed, as there would be danger in families going forth to witness it, and leaving their houses lighted but unprotected A wish was also expressed that the native costume might be adopted as extensively as possible amongst those accustomed to wear it, and which sits so prettily upon many of the fair ones of Anglesey, so as to make the ovation the more characteristic. And it was understood that should there be a surplus, after paying all expenses necessary for a suitable outward demonstration of affectionate loyalty and respect, it should be appro priated to the purposes of charity. These were the intended preparations as then indicated. But we have since learnt that many of the tradesmen of the town will exhibit emblematic devi.:es in gas, which will be lighted in the evening, and that there will be transparencies shown in various directions. Great preparations are also making at Penrhyn, whose princely owner will spare neither pains nor expense to do honour to the occasion. We hear that, in addi• tion to his handsome contribution to the town's ex penses, he has intimated his intention to take upon himself the entire cost of the fireworks, and that he has engaged a person from Vauxhall to superintend them. The display will be on the water, the tide being favourable, and within view of her Majesty's apartments at the Penrhyn Arms, and visible from the port, from Hirael, Garth, and Anglesey. Mr. Bicknell's arrangements, we have no doubt whatever, will be devoted wholly and solely to her Majesty's comfort and convenience. It must be a high gratifi cation to him to be thus honoured with the royal en couragement, when it is remembered that he had the privilege of receiving her Majesty when Princess Victoria, and her royal mother the Duchess of Kent, at the hotel at Beaumaris, at the time of the Eisteddfod. Much anxiety is evinced to oscertain in which mode her Majesty will pay her promised visit to Bangor. Though it must, we fancy, be looked upon as a pri vate visit, yet there will of necessity be some of the appendages of State ceremony with it. As justly observed by the Hon. Colonel Pennant, her Majesty may be so much fatigued with her journey she may require repose, and formal addresses need therefore scarcely be thought of ; but we presume there will be guards of honour provided at the hotel and railway station, with military bands for the performance of the National Anthem. It has been stated by some of the papers willing to admit that her Majesty is coming here, that she will leave Balmoral, her High land home, on the morning of the 12 h (Tuesday next), arrive at Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh, ou the following evening, and sleep there. On Wed nesday she will leave Edinburgh at 8.30, by rail way, for Carlisle, under the management of the Lon ion and North-Western Company to Warringtoa ; nd thence—by the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction line—to Chester, where her Majesty may be expected between two and three o'clock in the ,fternoon of Wednesday next. After staying a few minutes fur refreshment, the Queen will proceed by the Chester and Holy head Railway to Bangor, and remain for the night at the Penrhyn Arms Hotel. It expected that on Thursday morning her Majesty tll take an excursion to the Britannia Tubular Bridge, and will then return to Chester, or, more properly speaking, to the Saltney Junction, where the directors of the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway will have the honour of receiving the royal party, for the purpose of conducting the illustrious visitors along their picturesque line to Shrewsbury; thence tho carriages will proceed by the Shrewsbury and Bir mingham Railway to Wolverhampton, where the London and North-Western Company will again " do suit and service" by conveying the royal train to Bir mingham, and thence along the extension, through Oxford, to Windsor. In the above case her Majesty's arrival here will not be until late in the afternoon, but if, as we have heard, her Majesty leaves Balmoral on the Monday, and again honours Mr. Edwards by sleeping at the Royal Hotel, Crewe, the royal party will be at Bangor much earlier. This, however, will be ascertained beyond doubt by the committee early in the ensuing week, and, of course, will be duly proclaimed for the information of the multitude. Mr. Stevenson, we believe, will have the satisfac tion of conducting her Majesty to the tube, which will be covered with the flags of all nations, having , he royal standard at the entrances. The Bangor station will be splendidly illuminated, and there will be a grand exhibition of flags and devices. There will doubtless be su itable demonstrations at all the stations along the line, the directors of which are loyal, liberal, and opu lent. At Shrewsbury, the authorities of the tow n a n d the railways in conne xion therewith have been busy in preparing arrangements for the loyal reception and the paying of duti ful homa g e to o ur beloved Queen , as the mother of her subjects. It is not expected th a t her Majesty will mek e any long stay at the sta tion ; but it is the intention of the corporation, with t h e permission of the Sovereign, to present an ad dress on the occasion, in the name of the borough. Great preparations are also going on at the rail way station. Sloping platforms will be erected the whole length of the station and somewhat fur ther, so as to accommodate about one thousand persons, and these will be continued down . to the centre line of rails, over which the royal train will pass. Elegant waiting and refreshment-rooms will r ins wish to provided for her Majesty, should it be u leave the an d carriage; decor a decorated and the station itself ices in a splendid and suitable manner. .The hew locomotive which is to be used on the occasioni will be decorated in a magnificent manner, and the other arrangements will be a propos. In fact, no expense nor pains will be spared to give écla P rincess the eveht. Her Majesty ----then Victoria—attended the Eisteddfod in Beaurnaris in 1832, and in 1847, with e r will be beau tifiedo was placed in type we learn that Prince Albert, passed through the Straits. theSfiinrcset rtohueteabmoveentioned above will be the chosen one that the hour of her Majesty's arrival at Bangor w ill be abou t five o'clock. The committee have made excellent arrangements as regards police, and there can be no doubt that her Maj es ty, Prince Albert, and the Royal Family will long have reason to remember their reception in the Principality with feelings of gratification. FUNERAL OF A MILITARY KNIGHT OF WINDSOR (A WAIIRLOO OFFICER). —Yesterday (Friday) the remains of the late Lieutenant Henry Griffiths, Military Knight of Windsor, were interred en the Green of St. George's Chapel, Windsor. The funeral, by the desire of the deceased, was conducted without military honours, but the Governor, Major Moore, attended as chief mourner, accompanied by li. Hof derness, Esq., the medical attendant. The pall was borne by Ensign Lamb. Lieutenant Nantes, Colonel Fitzgibbon, and Captain Ellison, Military Knights, and by the Governor of the Naval Knights, Lieutenant Okes, and Lieutenant Jewers, Navel Knight, Lieutenants Hut st and Henry, Naval Knights, and Captains King and Hollingsworth, Military Knights, followed. Lieutenant Griffiths, who was charac• terised by great urbanity of manners, bad served many years with distinction in the 15th Hussars, and was present at the Battle of Waterloo. Disabled by ill-health he ultimately re tired, but he lived and died universally esteemed alike as an officer and military knig ht, a gentleman, and a Christian. He had completed his seventieth year. GALLANT ACT.--DA.RTMoUTH , OCT. 2.—On Sa turday last a child, who was playing on the quay in this town, accidentally fell over, and immediately sunk in deep water, under a lighter. Lieutenant Carter, commander of the revenue cutter Wickham, who was near the spot, in true sailor-like style, threw aside his cap, and, with the greatest gallantry, plunged to the rescue. After being under some considerable time, he appeared above water, holding the child, who would have met with a watery grave, but for the prompt and noble assistance of the above-named gentleman.
