Temporary 011ices---Nos. 17 and 18, Cornhill, This C-- aiSUompany is incorporated for the purpose of supply ing, under circumstances peculiarly advantageous to the Shareholders, the great demand for wharves, sites for manu factories, ship-building yards, and graving docks within the port of London, which the natural increase of trade, combined with the removal of existing water frontage by the formation of the Thames Embankment, and other me tropolitan improvements, has created. The Company is incorporated by a special Act of Parlia ment passed last .session, by which is obtained power to acquire a large tract of land at Millwall, consisting of up wards of 198 acres of freehold land adjoining the East and West India Docks: This land will be rendered available for the purposes above-mentioned, by the construction within its area of large docks or basins, with access for the largest vessels both from Blackwell and Limehouse Reaches ; so that the deep water frontage thus created by the works will become immediately valuable in the highest degree for wharves, granaries, manufactories, ship-building yards, and similar purposes ; and, from the water being always kept at high level, the saving of time and cost in all operations of lighterage, loading and unloading, which may be_effected without respect to tides, will render this site far more valuable than ; land abutting on the Thames itself. The proposed wor k s w ill' a l so i nc l u d e the construction of public Graving Docks of the largest dimensions, capable of receiving eressels of even greater size than H.M. iron clad ship Warrior, and of accommodating H.M. frigate Northumberland, now building 'on the premises of the Millwall Ironworks, immediately adjoining this Company's property. It is a remarkable fact that for the immense mercantile fleet of the Port of London there is but one public graving dock on the Thames of sufficient capacity to take in a vessel of even ordinary dimensions.. All the other graving docks are in the hands of private builders, who require to execute the works and repairs themselves ; and it is therefore not unusual for ships to be sent from the Thames to Southampton, and even to Liverpool, to be docked for repairs. From the circumstance of the area proposed to bo occu pied lying on au average about ten feet below high-water mark, the works will be executed with unusual facility, the material excavated being used to raise the adjoining land to a convenient level above high-water. The main roads which traverse the site of the proposed works afford good access to them ; and application is being made to Parliament in the present session by the Black wall Railway Company for an extension of the Blackwall and North London Railway systems, by which direct railway communication will be afforded for the whole of the Company's works, wharves, and docks with the entire railway system of England. As a Land Company, the present undertaking has enor mous advantages from the unusual ample powerA granted by its special Act of Parliament, by means of which it will become possessed, after appropriating about 56 acres for the Docks and Graving Docks, of upwards of 140 acres, with a water frontage of more than 10,000 feet,,and from 400 to 800 feet in depth—the whole of which, ou comple. lion of the Docks, will become immediately available for letting, on b u ildi ng l eases at freehold ground-rents. Be sides this source of revenue, estimated to produce upwards of £50,000 per annum, the Company will also derive a further large income of about .£40,000 per annum, the rents of the G rav i ng Dock; and from dues and charges from the docks, basins, wharves, &c., making a total estimated re venue of £90,000 per annum. In calculating the estimate of dividende very much will depend upon the mode found most practicable iu dealing with the income of the Company ; if the ground-rents should bo capitalised and sold as they accrue, and taking them at thirty years' purchase, it is estimated that within a period of five years the capital, including the ad ditional amount intended to be applied for to complete the works, will have been repaid, with a bonus of upwards of 75 per cent, and the revenue of the docks and royalties and dues still be available for dividend to the Shareholders ; should, however, the wh o l e ren t a l s and revenues be main tained in hand, a dividend (after providing for expenies, interest on debentures, &c.) may fairly be looked for at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, and, when it is considered that the greater part of this is from freehold ground-rents, the valuable description of the property this Company pos sesses will be at once apparent. The Directors have much pleasure in being able to an nounce that the whole of the works will be undertaken by Messrs. Kelk and Aird, the eminent Contractors, and that a contract for the first portion to be executed has been entered into with them, and arrangements made for the payment by them of interest during construction of the works at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum on the Share capital paid up by instalment; and of 7 per cent. per an num on all Shares applied for and allotted as fully paid-up Shares. Tha interest will be payable at Messrs. Glyn and Co.'s Bank, half -yearly, on 31st March and 30th Septem ber in each year. The first payment will be made 30th September, 1865. It is believed that so sound a scheme, and one which so specially addresses itself to the investor, is seldom brought before the public. The basis of the enterprise being free-- hold land and ground-rents removes from it all character of speculation, so often the leading feature in public com panies ; and as a British and home security it will doubt leaf* be appreciated by those who, while expecting good profits upon their investments, yet look for solid security. An accompanying plan shows the whole of the works as proposed when complete. Copies of the Act of Parliament and plans may be seen at the Offices of the Solicitors. Applications for Shares in the accompanying form may be made to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company ; or to the Credit Foncier and Mobilier of England (Limited), 17 and 18, Cornhill ; also to the Imperial Mercantile Credit Association (Limited), 95, Bishopsgate-street Within; to the Bankers and Brokers; but no application will be entertained unless the deposit of £1 per Share on the number applied for has been duly paid to the Company's Bankers.

Admittance, One Shilling:l extra rooms, Sixpence. Sheridan has reached Whitehouse. The Confe derate Congress have passed the measures recom mended in President Davis' message. Affairs in Richmond are reported gloomy. Gold, 1571. Sherman left Fayetteville on the 14th and was marching on Goldsboro', after destroying the cotton mills and the arsenal containing all the material taken from limper's Ferry. Unreliable reports assert that Sherman had occupied Goldsboro' and formed a junction with Schofield, while other re ports assert that the Confederates had evacuated Goldsboro', and moved towards Virginia. The Richmond Sentinel publishes a rumour that four divisions of Sherman's army had been repulsed near Fayetteville on the 16th with heavy loss. Hardee retreated from Fayetteville with 20,000 men towards Raleigh, where it was reported that Lee was in command, having brought with him a large force from Richmond. Sherman's and Shofield's armies were receiving supplies up the Neuse river. The herald says that Sherman's army is in possession • of three-fifths of the personal property of the counties through which he has passed. Great activity continues both in Grant's and Lee's army. _ _ _ ARGYLL ROOMS.-NOTICE.-RE EN GAG E tIENT of J.

On the 18th he moved to join Grant, and destroyed all the bridges of the James River between Lynchburgh and Richmond, and all the railroad bridges be tween Stanton and Charlottesvile. The Richmond papers state that the damage done by Sheridan can easily be repaired. It is reported that Grant has sent Kantz's cavalry to open the communication with Sheridan. Kantz encountered a heavy force of Longstreet's corps near the Chickahominy, and returned without ac complishing his object. Deserters report a small Union cavalry force at Burkeville, at the intersection of the Richmond, Danville, Petersburg, and Lynchburg Railroads. There has been a severe storm in Mobile Bay, and several transports were stranded. The Moni tors attacked and silenced two batteries defending the bay on the 11th. Lieutenant Forrest has made a naval expedition up the Tennessee River, and destroyed Roddy's camp and the Confederate communication at Lamb's Ferry. He found much Union feeling up the river. The New York Times says that the Confederate Congress, prior to its adjournment, empowered Pre sident Davis to seize the specie banks for supplies, and also empowered the Secretary of the Treasury to procure specie frOm the different States, upon terms agreed upon with the State authorities. The writ of habeas corpus has also been suspended. • The Secretary of War at Richmond has authorised the raising of companies of coloured soldiers for im mediate service at Richmond, and he recommends the arming of slaves, but opposes their emancipation. The fall in gold has seriously affected trade throughout the country, and several failures have taken place.

The Herald states that owing to the gloomy state of affairs at Richmond, Lee and Davis had deter mined to abandon the contest. Davis has decided to leave the arbitrament ques tion to Lee and Grant. Seward and Lincoln held a consultation over the latter proposal—Seward favouring and Lincoln opposing it. The Tribune says that Lee informed . Davis that it was impossible for him (Lee) to make head against the forces concentrating for his overthrow.

The Lord Chief Baron said that with regard to the last point it was very probable that the situation would be kept open, but ho did not think the jury had the power to give a contingent verdict. -All they had the power to do was to say what amount of damages the plaintiff, under all the circumstances, was entitled to.

The Oxonians had anothet_ trial over the course from Putney to Mortlake yesterday afternoon, and whatever may have been said with reference to the style of rowing throughout• the „boats we are assured, from our expe rience, that if they remain in the 8 / 1 1113 excellent con dition as at 'present it will take a very good crow to boat them. They started at a little after four o'clock from the bridge,, on a nice • flood tide, with the water exceedingly smooth. They commenced at 36 strokes per minute, taken with Moro care apparently than here tofore, and were a few seconds longer in getting to the point, but from - th - ore they gradually accelerated their Pa ce , and in Cornoy Reach and throughout the remainder of the course increased their number to 59 and 40 strokes per minute, the ti'melbeing 21 minutes 17 seconds, while we are -assured that the . almost inerediblo time noticed in our last of 21 minutes,s seconds as occupied on Thursday over th - same distaiacd, wits Correct. It must not be assumed that there was any falling -off in their work yesterday, as we ropes, they rowed with more care and somewhat slower. At the start there was no very marked improvement in their style, but as they pregressed it was manifest that they rowed in bet ter form. They have always swung well together, but there has been a roundness of .action in some of the men which was lessened yesterday, and is still competent of further improvement': for although all their oars aro in the water at the same moment, yet at„the conclusion of the stroke, when they lean forward for the next; soma of the blades are raised much higher than the others, but they are a fine strong, lasting crew, who can row all the four miles. By a communication received from Cambridge, yesterday, we learn that on Thursday the crew rowed over the short course to and from Birtsbito, as ono or two of the men are not quite up to the mark, having caught cold. Their now boat was loaded up onThursday night and sent to Putney, where she will arrive about noon to-day (Saturday), when the Cantabs will make their debut over the metropolitan course. It was determined to use an old outrigger at Cam bridge yesterday, and row from Chesterton back to Birth bite at a quickened stroke without easing, so that no oppor tunity might be afforded of comparing their time over the three-mile course with that of preceding crews, who inva riably rowed the same course during the last six days of their practice here at about 40 strokes per minute. Both crews, after the race, are invited, as usual, to dine with the Thaines subscription Club at Willis's Rooms. Betting is 5 to 4 on Oxford, with plenty of takers. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—KINGSTON, March 21. (Before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.) BROWNE V. THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This cause arising out of the fatal accident that .took place in the Blackheath Tunnel, and in which the da mages wore laid at £20,000, was resumed this morning. Mr. Bovill, Q.C., Mr. C. Pollock, and Mr. Willis again appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Lush , Q.C., Sergeant Bal lantine, and Mr. White for the defendants. Mr. Lush, in his address to the jury, said that cases of this description were, under all circumstances of the most difficult class that could be brought before the considera tion of a jury, and the present was the most difficult one that had come within .his knowledge, because'it would be his duty to lay before the jury the evidence of medical men of the highest eminence, who would give diametri cally opposite evidence to that which had been given by those gentlemen who had been called as witnesses for the plaintiff. lle could not help expressing his opinion that it would be much better if some plan were adopted by which, in a case like the present, the patient could be watched by some medical gentlemen of eminence until some decisive opinion could be formed respecting the injury that had been received; instead of which the only course that could be taken at present was to lay before the jury the contradictory evidence of a number of medical men, and the jury had to grope their way to a conclusion. The learned counsel then referred to the medical evidence that had been ad duced on the part of the plaintiff, and said he should be prepared to show that every one of the symptoms that had been spoken to might be ascribed to the shock of the ner vous system that the plaintiff had received, and from which . he would, in all probability, eventually entirely recover, and that there was no real paralysis in the case. Ile said he thought he had a right to complain that the galvanic test., as it was termed, had been applied to the plaintiff without the knowledge of the medical gentle , menwho were watching the case on behalf of the company, and who, consequently, had no opportunity of observing the result ; but he said ho should be in a condition to lay evidence before them to show that every one of the results that had been spoken to were more consistent with the malady of hysterical paralysis,, from which in time the plaintiff would almost certainly recover, than paralysis arising from injury to the brain, which would be venni:- font. In conclusion, the learned counsel said tho company admitted they were liable, and did not - desire that the amount of damages should, be assessed w:th any niggard harid ; but, at the same time; he said he was sure that the jury would agree 'with him that it was their duty to avoid the payment, f an extrava.gant„amout of damages for an injury which might turn out . to be only of a. temporary kind, although attended by symptoms of a most distressing • • and serious character. _ _ Mr. Adams, the senior surgeon of the London Hospital, and one of the council of the College of Surgeons, was then examined, and his evidence, divested of technical terms, was to the effect that the plaintiff was not suffering from perfect paralysis, and that the case was a curable one. He attributed all the symptoms to the shock to the nervous system, and expressed a positive opinion that the injuries did not arise from a lesion of the brain. In answer to a question suggested by the jury, this gen tleman stated that he was officially attached to tho South- Eastern Railway Company, but ho added, in reply to Ser geant Ballantine, that, under his advice, a great many claims for accidents had been settled without coming into court. Mr. Headland, a general practitioner, Mr. Critchie, one of the surgeons attached to the Ophthalmic Hospital, and Dr. Ratcliffe, the senior surgeon of tho Paralytic Hospital, were also examined on behalf of the defendants, and their evidence was of a similar character to that given by Mr. Adams. Mr. Lush, in summing up the case for hie defendants, repeated what ho had previously said, that the plaintiff was entitled to damages for the injury ho had received, but he argued that, after the evidence that had been adduced on behalf of the defendants, the jury ought not to regard the case as one in which recovery was hopeless, but that, on the contrary, the probability was that, with rest and the removal of anxiety, the plaintiff would in a year or so be as well as ever, and he asked them to assess the damages upon that principle. • _ . Mr. Bovill made a powerful reply on behalf of the plain tiff, and he drew a vivid picture of his former condition and the state he was in at present; with his mind and memory completely gone, unable to dress or wash himself, to take food, or to sleep, and, as had boon proved in the course of the case, sitting.listlessly looking out of a window picking his fingers. Before this unfortunate accident the plaintiff was a fine young roan, 32 years of age, and six feet high, possessed of great literary attainments, and who might rea sonably have expected to rise in the public department in which ho was employed, and to obtain eventually a salary of £BOO or £l,OOO a-year ; but now all his hopes and expec tations were entirely destroyed, and the question for the jury to decide was, what amount of damages ought to be given under such circumstances. The learned counsel then commented at considerable length upon the medical evidence that had been adduced on behalf of the company, particularly remarking upon a statement made by one of them that before he saw the plaintiff it had been intimated to him by some one that the case was one of " ontire sham," and that the plaintiff was being "killed by kindness." He then proceeded to argue that there couldnot be the slightest doubt that the plaintiff had received the most frightful in juries, from which, in all probability, he would never re cover, and that no amount of money could compensate him for the loss of position he had sustained. The Lord Chief Baron, in summing up the case to the jury, said that it was undoubtedly one of a very remark able character, and the principal question for their con sideration was whether the plaintiff would ever recover from the injuries he had received; and this was the point upon which the amount of damages they gave ought to be regulated. His lordship went on to say that it appeared by the evidence that the plaintiff was not married, he had no children, and as there lens no evidence that he had any parents living, if he had been killed upon the spot at the time this accident happened, as the law at present stood, the defendants would not have been liable to pay a single farthing ; and therefore they would have to consider what damages he was entitled to for the injury he had sus tained iu his position through this accident. llis lordship then remarked upon the medical evidence, and observed with regard to what had been said about the plaintiff hav ing walked for some distance immediately after the acci dent, that a case of manslaughter had occurred at the pre sent assizes, in which it was proved that a chisel had been thrown at the decesed, and that the poinehad actually en tered the brain, but nevertheless the deceased was not considered to be in danger for several days, although he ultimately died from the effects of the injury. In the course of his further observations, the learned judge said that he concurred with Mr. Lush, that it would be very advisable if there were a power, in cases like the present, to adjourn the inquiry until the condition of the patient was actually decided, or else that the jury should have the power to give a conditional verdict ; so that, if damages were given upon the footing that the party would never recover, he• should not receive those damages unless this fact was realised, or in the event of his getting well of the injury. In the pro sent case the action was brought in February. and it ap- (k - i," , : , , • • ~ ~~d COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Money easy. The panic in gold continues, the price declining yesterday to 153. The latest quo- STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, March 21.--Our market for ship ping yarns has been considerably better to-day, and there has been a very fair amount of business doing at ? r d. to id. per lb. advance on the rates of Tuesday. But for this adrance in prices we should probably have had considerably more business. Prices are Very strong at the close, with an upward tendency. Ther e are many orders yet to give out, but buyers are waitin g till 'the Cuba's advices from America are to hand, which aro generally e x pe c t e d t o b e ian portant, and may send prices up or down consider ably. The market for home trade yarns has im proved quite as much as that for export. A mode rate business has been done, and prices are quoted t about Id. per lb. highe r than Tuesday. The demand is general for most , counts required by manufac turers. The cloth market showed a good deal of improvement yesterday, the activity in the Liver pool cotton-market, with better prices, giving a decided impulse to business here. The transactions were to a considerable amount, and at slightly ad vanced prices. The desire to buy appeared to be more general than for some time past, and there was a feeling of greater confidence. The advanced quotations of manufacturers to-day, seem to have somewhat modified this feeling, and, though there has been a fair general inquiry for cloths, considerably less business has been effected. Buyers, at all events, are now disposed to await the arrival of the American mail steamer's news before operating. The larger business in yarns to-day (mentioned above) is gene rally attributed to the considerable orders given out for cloth yesterday. LEEDS.—The following is the trade report of the Leeds Chamber of Commerce for March—" During the whole of the month the woollen trade has been very quiet. The unusual coldness of the weather has no doubt tended greatly to prevent any consider able purchases of spring goods, but in addition to this there evidently exists an indisposition on all hands to do more than provide for immediate wants. There have also been several large sales of merchants' stocks. Under these circumstances stocks in the hands of manufacturers are accumulating, and many of them are consequently working short time. This unfavourable state of things is not caused, as far as can be seen, by anything peculiar to the woollen trade, but arises from the general feeling of uncer tainty as to the future which exists in the country generally. The London wool sales concluded on the 25th inst., with the exception of a damaged cargo, which was sold on the 27th. About 80,000 bales passed the hammer. The general range of prices has been nearly the same as in November, Cape wools being a trifle higher, and faulty Australian a little lower. A full average proportion has been bought for export. The English woolmarket has been quiet, and the business done unimportant ; prices have given way considerably. The flax tradehas been un unusually dull, and prices may be said to be nominal, but to make sales a considerable reduction must be submitted to. The same remarks will apply to tows For yarns there is little or no inquiry, and prices are altogether unsettled. The , great fall in cotton and the uncertainty felt as to its future price, have given a check to the flax trade., The iron trade continues in a'very fair state, the lock-out not ex tending to this neighbourhood. During the last year a large - quantity of steel tires, &c., have been been made in Leeds, and this manufacture is likely to be increased; another firm being about to increase its works for that purpose. The machine-makers continue busy. The engineer tool trade is goof, con siderable contracts being on hand, and fresh orders coming in to a fair extent. The railway plant and locomotive makers continue busy. In cut nails a fair business is doing. In the seed crushing and oil -trades the continued inclement weather during the past month has caused crushers to be actively em ployed in supplying the farmers. Rape and linseed oik have maintained their value, and there is a fair demand for both. Olive oil is firm in price, but not much doing, as manufacturers are not all working full time. There has been a steady demand formost descriptions of leather. Heavy butts and bends have been in moderate request, and light substances have sold freely. Prices remain steady. Dressing goods of all kinds have also met with a ready sale, at full rates. Offal, both light and heavy, has been extremely scarce, and prices have in conse quence advanced. The tanners are doing more than for some time past. There is a moderate demand for shoes, but scarcely as good as is generally the case at this season. The paper trade has been dull, the supply of material is good, and prices are on the decline. There has been a good supply of cattle and sheep, which have met with a ready sale. Number shown (five markets), cattle, 2,664 ; sheep, 17,600. There has been a good supply of wheat, and toward the close of the month prices have advanced about Is. per qr. Good barley has been scarce, and fetches ls. more price. Oats and beans have met with a good demand at firm rates." NOTTINGHAM, 31.—We had again a very small attendance at our Exchange-hall to-day. The ad vices from Liverpool caused prices to rule firm, but neither buyers nor sellers were anxious to transact business, and recent rates were quoted for both lace and hosiery yarns. The Metropolis Sewage and Essex E eelama- tion Bill. It will be remembered that the above bill was re mitted to a select committee of the House of Com mons, who were instructed to inquire into the most useful and profitable means of disposing of the me tropolitan sewage on the north side of the Thames. The committee have had laid before them the reports of the select committees of 1862 and 1864, and the report of the royal commission ; and they have also heard witnesses. Their report has now been issued. They say that the scheme brought before them by Messrs. H o pe and Napier, and embodied in the bill before the Lower house, fulfils the following requi sitions :—" It provides, in the first place, for the complete removal from the River Thames of the w hole of the ordinary sewage of the northern part of the metropolis, leaving only, on the occasion of heavy rains, a portion of the sewage still to flow into the river, but so small and exceptional that it may for all practical purposes be left out of conside ration. It provides, in the next place, for the irriga tion by sewage, in whatever quantities may be found useful, of a considerable area particularly well adapted for such a purpose, inasmuch as the natural character of the soil is light and favourable. Moreover, the low level of the district enables the sewage to be applied with very little mechanical aid, and mainly by gravitation. It may also be observed that an extension of this area might be made by pumping the sewage to a moderate elevation. Lastly, with respect to whltever portion of the sewage may not he disposed of in its course, the scheme proposes to apply in the reclamation of a barren portion of laud on the coast in a manner recommended by experience." The combination of these different modes of using the sewage is, the committee think, of great conse quence in ensuring at all times and seasons the bene ficial application of the whole sewage, with the small exception above mentioned on the occasion of heavy rains. Upon this evidence the committee are of opinion " that the scheme which has been submitted to them is a useful and profitable mode of applying the sewage of the northern portion of the metropolis, and they have no reason to suppose that any more useful or profitable scheme could be devised." The committee consisted of Mr. Headlam (chair man), Mr. Ayrton, Mr. Knight, Dr. Brady, Mr. T. G. Miller, Colonel Smyth, Mr. &later - Booth, Mr. Paget, Mr. Clay, and Mr. Charles Turner.

There was an average attendance at the Subscription Roomsthis day, and business was of the same changeable character as we have been accustomed to note for some time past. Mail Train, at the commencement of proceed.. ings, appeared likely to travel on the down line for the Northamptonshire Stakes, as 100 to 6 was laid against him. During the afternoon, however, the Woodyeates commissioner accepted 100 to 8 seven times, and backed Mail Train at various prices down to 7 to 1, that figure being wanted at the finish. Hartley was firm at 10 to 1 and Skeffington returned to that price (taken and offered). At 100 to 8 Swordsman was supported, and Huntsman's Daughter and John Davis were trivially invested on at our quoted prices. Fantail declined to 25 to 1 (offered), and 50 to 1 was laid to small sums against the Vest colt. For the Chester Cup The Lion—who has been struck out of the Northamptonshire Stakes, after occupying a pecu liar position in the quotation list for several days past— advanced to 11 to 1 (taken), and 200 to 9 was accepted about the Highflyer's dam colt. The Two Thousand Guineas and Derby betting was of an insignificant charac ter.
