DIRECTORS. JOHN MACGREGOR, Esq., Chairman. Captain C,ll. Drinkwater Bethune, R.N., C.B. Alexander Nairne, Esq., Director of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. Hugh Hamilton Lindsay, Esq. ' Sir Jebn Pirie, Bart., Deputy-Chairman of the Fenin- Baler and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. Henry Wise, Esq.. • Bauszas- : Messrs, Glyn, Hallifax, Mills, and Co:, London. • The objects of this Company are to carry on miaing, agricultural, and trading operations in the Eastern Archipelago, and the acquiring and disposing of lands in the Island of Labuan and the parts adjacent —a region abounding in mineral wealth, most fertile in all the valu able tropical productions, and very happily situate for the purposes. of commerce. The Island of Labuan hhs been formally taken possession of by the Crown of Great Britain ; and, by a treaty with the Sultan of Borneo, many-highly important advantages are permanently secured to this country. Pilitcy in tke eastern seas will now be effectually suppressed; and, under the protection -of the British flag at Labuan, a new era as regards those regions, has commenced, which affords the most fa vourable opportunity for successfully accomplishing the'objects of this Company. • To those who are at all acquainted with the Indian Archipelago, it is wholly unnecessary to expatiate on the advaritages to be derived from this undertaking. The important discovery of an abundant sup ply of excellent coal on the mainland of Borneo, in the immediate vi cinity of Labuan, is a circumstance which of itself would render this enterprise pregnant with the most beneficial results. A formal grant of this coal, extending through a district of about 150 miles, has been obtained from the Sultan of Borneo, and is, with the approval of her Majesty's Government, now held by Mr. Wise, with whom arrange ments for its working will be made. The working of the coal mines will form an important feature in the operations of the Company, Thergeographical position of the Borneo coal districts in relation to our Eastern possessions, and to the steam communications which are now carried on, and others which are about to be carried on in con nexion therewith, is a matter of peculiar interest, and even of na tional importance. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, for instance, disburse more than 130,0001. annually for coal for their steam-vessels, of which sum about 90,0001. are ex pended in coal used to the eastward of the Cape of Good Hope. This coal. as well as the requisite supplies for the steam-vessels of her Majesty's navy, and for those of the Honourable East India Com pany on the India and China stations, is at present chiefly furnished from England, at an average cost exceeding 335. per ton ; so that the expenditure by her Majesty's Government, the Honourable East In dia Cd.ftpary, and Vac Peninsular and Oriental Company for the sin gle item of coal, will be considerably reduced as soon as the opera tions of the Eastern Archipelago Company are sufficiently matured to admit of their supplying the several depots which have been esta blished at Hong-Kong, Singapore, and other plates, with coal for the use of the many,British and Foreign storm-vessels re-orting to these ports. The certain increase in the consumption of coal in the eastern seas, from the causes already mentioned, and the opening of other channels of demand, cannot fail eventually to augment the use of Borneo coal. The projected steam communication between Singapore and our Australian colonies—the probable communication by the same means at no distant period, between the various British settle ments to the eastward of tho Cape of Good Hope and the west coast of America—as well as the system of railways now about to be esta blished in India—are events eminently calculated to occasion an immense consumption of Borneo coal, the more so as it can be sup plied at comparatively moderate rates. Samples of the Labuan and Borneo coal have been brought over to this country by Mr. Wise, and submitted by her Majesty's Government to a careful examination and analysis by competent parties, with a most satisfactory result. The Borneo coal has also been pronounced by the Calcutta foal ' Committee, appointed by the Bengal Government, to be equal to the best English coal; and Captain Wallage, in his report on the supplies of coal obtained from the seam at Labuan, for the use of the Honourable East India Company's steam-ship Nemesis, dated Sarawak, 10th June, 1847, observes—" I have no hesitation in stating that the coal received at Labuan is equal to any English coal I have seen on board steamers in India, and decidedly better than any coal worked in India for steam - purposes." The portion of territory contemplated for the first operations of the Eastern Archipelago Company possesses a climate and soil admir ably adapted for the culture of cotton, tobacco, sugar, coffee, rice, nutmegs, pepper, and other valuable productions, and is most favourably situate, having the advantage of Labuan, now subject to British dominion, as a point d'appui ; nor can there be a doubt of the excellent position of the proposed field of enterprise for an ex tensive and lucrative commerce. The proximity of Java, Sumatra, Siam, Cochin-China, Hainan, Manilla, Celebes, &c., is not only of great importance in this respect, but also as affording the means of introducing with facility from those places Chinese and other colo • nists, and labourers to any extent required for the service of the Company. Labuan itself will form an essential link in the chain of. our eastern settlements, from Penang, Malacca, and Singapore to Hong Kong ; and in the district of Sarawak every protection and encouragement will be granted by Mr. Brooke in furtherance of the Company's objects. In short, every circumstance justifies the anti cipation that the late proceedings of the British Government relating to Borneo, if followed up with vigour by the operations of the pre seut Company, will change that which has been heretofore a region of piracy, lawless violence, danger and desolation, into a scone of busy, peaceful, and beneficial commerce; bringing the advantages of I progressive civilisation to a large and fertile tract of the globe, and conferring extensive benefits on the commerce and manufactures of Great Britain. The philanthropist and the statesman, as well as the merchant, will thus feel interested in this design, which, through the medium of British enterprise, sanctioned and protected by the wis dom and decision of the Government, promises the amelioration of the condition of the natives of the Indian Archipelago, among whom there exists a disposition most favourable to the development cf the resources of those countries. The view here taken of the promising character of the undertak ing is not hypothetical, but is tbe result of the arduous personal re searches of various individuals, wko, In times past, have been de sirous of widening the circle of commerce and civilization, and, among others more recently, of Mr. Wise, who has for several years devoted his time to the closest investigation of the subject. To his patient and indefatigable perseverance for a long period in calling the attention of her .Majesty's Government to the importance of Labuan as the site of a British settlement, may be ascribed the fact, that the protection of our flag is now extended to countries so important both in a political and commercial point of view. 11 The Queen has appointed Mr. Brooke Governor and Cc mmander- In-Chief in and over the Island of Labuan and its dependencies, as we'l as her Majesty's Commissioner and Consul-General to the Sultan and independent chiefs of Borneo. These measures, and the course of policy which they indicate, will materially facilitate and advance the objects and interests of the Company throughout the Eastern Ar chipelago. The Company being incorporated by Royal Charter, the responsi bility of each shareholder is limited to the amount of his subscrip tion. The charter provides for the execution by the shareholders of w Deed of Settlement, to be approved by the President of the Board of Trade.

EX-ROYAL FAMILY OF FRANCE. The anxiety which has been so generally felt as to the fate of the ex-Royal Family of France is fortunately at an end in so far as regards the the Duchess de Nemours with her youthful family and the Duke de Montpensier, their Royal Highnesses having arrived at Southampton at an early hour yesterday morning from Havre. A special messenger was despatched to London imme diately upon the arrival of their Royal Highnesses, conveying intelligence of the fact to the French E u o bassy, where he arrived shortly after midday. The Duke de Nemours, with his illustrious sister-in-law, the Duchess de Montpensier, having left Hertford House for the Belgian Legation, the Count de Jarnac at once proceeded — thither, and communicated to them the gratifying intelligence of the safe arrival of their relit• lives. The Duke de Nemours was very desirous to go down to Southampton directly to meet the Duchess ; but as this would have involved the necessity of leaving the Duchess de Montpensier, his Royal Highness waived this determination, and two gentlemen, attaches to the French and Belgian Legations, were despatched to Southampton to conduct their Royal Highnesses to town. Their Royal. Highnesses remained at the Belgian Legation until nearly five o'clock last evening, at which hour they left town .for East Sheen, where they will occupy the villa belonging to Mr. Bates (father-in-law of his Excellency M. Van de Weyer) for the present. M. Van de 'Weyer accompanied their Royal High nesses to East Sheen, and subsequently returned to town. GUILDHALL, PEN. 11, 1848.

The trial is over of " Bunn versus Lind, And by means of the papers, the facts have got wind. Mr. Bunn had his lawyers, and so had poor Jenny, 'Who now, it appears, has to pay a rare penny. Two Thousand Five Hundred, besides all expences, Is enough to mate Jenny bereft of her senses. This minstrel, whose music has mkde us so fond, Has to pay this amount, having broken her bond ; Yes, in spite of the Speeches of counsel vehement, Jenny Lind is declared to have broken agreement. And certainly that is a serious charge. Which should give a broad hint to the public at large. I have thought since I heard of this action of Bunn, Of the public agreement of 310FkEil and SON. H MOSES and SON, as you all must respond, Have never been known to dishonour their bond. • In the whole of their promises, no matter what, They've stuck to their contract, if Jenny has not. Their Drees- coats are proofs that they stick to their terms, And the whole of their stock this agreement confirms. Their elegant fashion, and quality, too, • Axe proofs that they keep their agreement in "view ; And an action should ne'er been entered by Bunn, Had the " Nightingale" acted like MOSES and SON.

BY SAMUEL LAWERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Memher of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could Itbe traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less Injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the humans frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an acearate and complete aecesmt of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions h health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more iruportauce than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advaneed age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneous*, entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by lii.i possesion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LI'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

FALLING OF A RAILWAY BRIDGE.—On Friday afternoon a bridge erected on the line of the Reading, Guildford, ar,d Reigate Railway, at Earley, about two miles from Reading, fell entirely in. At the time of the occurrence a long train of waggons laden with earth WP,:"3 descending an inclined plane, when, on arriving at the bridge, all the foremost passed over safely, without any danger being apprehended, but on the last wag gun crossing, being rnore heavily l a d e n, th e bridge gave way, and, along with the fall of the waggon and its contents, produced a most frightful crash. The hind waggon became disengaged from the others by the breaking of the connecting chains, or the whole train of waggons must have been pulled in. The mass of earth and other material was scattered in all directions, and the waggon much shattered ; fortunately, no persons were passing along the road at the time. A partial stoppage of the works, causing a number of hands to be thrown out of employment, has taken place in conse quence. The bridge had but recently been constructed, and it is supposed that the heavy gale of wind and rain during the previous day, with the ponderous weight of earth running over it, probably weakened it. PROVIDENTIAL PRESERVATION OF LIFE LAST NIGHT.—About ton o'clock last night it was acciden tally discovered that an embankment between the Euxton and Coppul stations, on the North Union line, about eight miles from Preston, had given way. Before eleven o'clock one end of the wooden bridge had sunk considerably, and the embankment adjoining suddenly fell in to the depth of about twenty feet, carrying with it both lines of rail, and leaving a frightful chasm, into which the express train from London, then coming up, would, but for this discovery, have inevitably been driven. The loss of life and demolition of property might thus have been awful.

An useful and interesting brochure (published in Paris), entitled " Biographie des Deputes (de France), precedee d'une Histoire de la Legislature de 1842 a 1846," and compiled by two " jour nalists," and which forms a sort of French " Par liamentary Pocket Companion," enables us to lay before our readers the following particulars of the political positions respectively occupied by the mem bers of the new French Provisional Government which has succeeded the fallen dynasty of the Bour bons. It must be observed that the " journalists" are both of them ardent Republicans. M. Dupont (de L'Eure), the new President of the Council (deputy for Evreux), is highly esteemed for his virtues by the French people. At the elections of 1842, M. Dupont, indignant at seeing the Deputies of the Eure servilely voting in favour of the execrated Guizot Ministry, contested four colleges of that de• partment simultaneously; he was elected in all four, and chose Evreux. The votes of M. Dupont need not be pointed out; he invariably voted against the corrupt and dishonest Administration which has fallen 1 with the King, its protector. M. Cremieux, the Provisional Minister of Justiee (deputy for Chinon), was a formidable opponent of the late Ministry. He exposed all• its vices and its weaknesses. He demanded, on the discussion of the game law (originated in the Peers), the suppression of the article which exempts the Crown Lands from the severe provisions of that enactment ; but, although successful in the Deputies, the Upper Chamber restored the obnoxious clause. M. Cremieux's Par iitiu istnrwArron.. - F . 1.4....; 111 OLIVL Li ne was a leadiug member of the Opposition. M. Arago is one of the first sarans in France, and his reputation as an orator is scarcely less brilliant. lie was born in 1786, and is perpetual secretary of the Academy of Sciences, member of the office of longitudes, and the most illustrious scientific man of the age. In politics, M. Arago is an excellent patriot, a sworn enemy of privileges and monopoly, and an ardent defender of the rights of the people. He voted against the Pritchard indem nity bill, and has ever supported all the measures of the Gauche, although he goes much further, and be longs to the extreme Gauche. lie is now provisional Minister of Marine. M. de Lamartine, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, is as famous in the republic of letters as his colleague, M. Arago, in the department of science. He repre sents Macon, and his political opinions have been freely and copiously expressed in his newspaper, Le Bien Public, published in that town. He is every where a poet, even at the tribune. Like all poets, however, he is rather fiokle and inconstant, but the elevation of his soul secures him against the greatest dangers of versatility. M. de Lamartine for a length of time occupied a very undecided position in the Chamber, but he eventually ranged himself on the side of the Opposition. The day on which he an nounced his intention of joining the camp of the Gauche was as gloomy an one for the Ministry as the memorable desertion of the Treasury bench of the English House of Commons by the great Burke. From that period M. de Lamartine took a decided part in favour of progressive reform, and ridiculed the Guizot Cabinet as the Ministry of " limitations." He voted against the Pritchard indemnity, and was prized by the Opposition as an invaluable acquisition. M. Ledru Rollin, the provisional Minister of the Interior, was elected for Mans vice the late M. Gar nier Pages. His speech to the electors subjected him to a prosecution on the part of the Government, and the trial of the case produced a great sensation. M. Rollin represents the ultra-Radical interest ; and has often attacked not only M. Guizot, but also the policy of such men as Thiers and Odilon Barrot. He sits on the extreme Left, and has defended at the tribune, with vigour and talent, the opinions advocated by La Refornze newspaper. M. Carnot, the new Minister of Public Instruction (including the administration of religious affairs), was born in 1801, and is a son of the famous convention alist of that name. He is a devoted partisan of democratic ideas, and belongs to the extreme Left. ' He voted against the Pritchard indemnity bill, and for M. Remusat's project of parliamentary reform; "he would," say the authors of the work, writing in 1846, " support a large and complete reform which would have the effect of restoring sincerity to the Government, and all their rights to the citizens." The other members of the Provisional Government are not included in the list of Deputies. The announcement of the poem of " King Arthur," by the author of "The Now Timon," has lately been the subject of frequent conversation. The author of " The New Timon," undoubtedly, possesses an imagination of a very high order, and it has been generally admitted in literary circles that a new legendary epic from his pen, combining the best qualities of the verse of the 19th century with that of the middle ages, would be likely to be attended with much success. Every persons of taste feels interested in the experiment, although the name of the author has not been suffered to transpire. THE COPPER DUTIES.—BIRMINGHADIt Fan. 29.--- In accordance with a requisition from Alderman Smith, a meeting of the manufacturers of Birmingham, con sumers of copper, was held in the co mmittee-room of the Towu-hall yesterday, to consider the propriety of taking steps to obtain a reduction of the duties on cop. per. There was a numerous attendance, amongst whom. were Ma. Charles Geach, the Mayor ; Aldermen Smith and Martineau ; Councillor Clifford ; Messrs. W. C. Alston, T. Pemberton, David Malins, Brooke Smith, T. C. Salt, J. Cartland, S. Whitfield, Blews, S. Tonks, J. jm. Pumphrey, W. Barwell, R. Iloaton, and any Collins,ol ayo li t n h s er gentlemen connected with the trade. Mr. W. R. Lloyd and Mr. Fleetwood, connected with the smelting interest, were also present. The M a yor, having been called to the chair, addressed the meeting in a long slieech, in which he declared the in justice of the present duties, and concluded by moving a resolution in accordance with the general tenour of his speech. This resolution was adopted unanimously, and the meeting separated. DEATH OF BEETHOVEN'S BEOTHER.—A brother of this great German composer died a few days since at Vienna. Ho had commenced business as a chemist, but afterwards became a Government contractor, sad en riched himself by some fortunate speculations, particu larly in contracts for the supply of fire-arms for the service of the Imperial Government. He latterly kept his coach and four. His brother died in great distress ; but, then, one was a lucky speculator—the other only " a man of genius."
