Notice is hereby given, that the HALF-YEARLY DIVIDEND, at the rate of Four•and-a-Half per Cent., deer of Income-tax, clue 31st October last, is NOW in course of Payment at the Office of this Company T LIE , NATIONAL GUARD. The visit from France of the National Guard Is a capital theme for the mercantile bard, Who, with every good Englishman, heartily cries— " Three cheers for onr neighbours and friendly allies." The National Guard, from accounts that are written, Seem highly delighted at visiting Britain, And wherever the good lathe strangers have been, They've declared themselves pleased at the sights they have Seen. The writer of this being present, for one, When the National Guards came to MOSES and SON, Can shiest to the pleasure which each seemed to show As he vrond'ring stroll'd through the mighty depOt, Not one of the visitors failed to admire The shops set apart for the sale of ATTIRE. They noticed the mart in its business design, And they noticed the dress, which they thought very fine. At the sight of the fashions each heart seemed to glow (And Frenchmen are judges of fashion, you knew), And every one gave the peculiar shrug On seeing the Over-Coats, stylish and snug, Not a guard did I notice hut seemed to be won By the elegant dresses of MOSES and SON. After they inspected the prime HATS AND CAPS, In which you'll imagine some time would elapse, And I scarcely need say that the National Guard, On seeing the goods, stared remarkably hard, Such indeed was the case, and I didn't see ono Who gave not due credit to MOSES and SON. They next made their way to the prime BOOTS AND SHO''S, Which of course they had no disposition to lose, And here (for I judge from the shrug and the start), They were equally pleased with the grand City Mart, Aid I certainly thought they were "sensible Sirs," When I saw how delighted they were with the FURS. " Well done, Messrs. Moses ; well done," said each man (I give the translation as well as I can), And having applauded these winter affairs, They looked at the OUTFITS AND HOSIERY WARES, Which goods pleased them well, as the others had done, And caused them to compliment MOSES and SON. And be It remembered that, after inspection, Each one of the "Nationals" made a selection. Many thanks, gallant Guards, for your liberal aid, With warmth is this public acknowledgment made, lad with this very view did the mercantile bard Select for his subject the " National Guard." B.

More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its influence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable ! Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled SELF-PRESERVATION , illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa- Cols on the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, excesses, 0 . .• infection.

It appears from the financial statement just issued by the directors that, in order to relieve the proprietors as much as possible from the pressure of calls, they have determined to suspend works which would require more than a year to complete, among which are the Basing stoked Salisbury, and the Farnham and Alton lines, istik.Attsodonfine 'their outlay to the completion of lines which can be brought into profitable operation in the spring and summer of 1849. The company are autho rised to raise 9,952,7961. by shares and loans. The total amount of shares issued is 6,948,8461., of which 6,105,3731. has been received ; and the amount received on loan is stated to be 1,714,8501.; total amount received by the company, 7,820,2231., leaving still to be received 2,132,573/. The total sum expended to the 21st of Oct. 1848, in land, works, plant, &c., is 7,326,2621.; and the length of line open for traffic 215 miles. They expect to bring into profitable operation in the spring and summer of 1849, twenty-two miles of railway, viz., branch to Farnham, ten miles; to Godalming, four; to Windsor, one and a half; and to Hampton-court, two; and loop from Brentford to Hounslow, five miles. To complete these, to pay interest on unproductiv e ca pit a l, and to clear off all outstanding liabilities, it will require a further sum of 745,4411. The capital entitled to divi dend for the current half-year ending the 31st of De cember next will be 3,838,2601., being an addition over the share capital entitled to dividend on the 30th of June last of 1,303,2001. The directors have no doubt that a dividend of five per cent. on the above sum may be de clared, besides the seven per cent. interest on the scrip shares. Assuming the traffic to average 11,936/. per week for the year, after the twenty-two miles mentioned are opened, and deducting working expenses of forty per cent., interest on scrip and loans, they estimate that the net balance will allow of a four per cent. dividend on the share capital, amounting to 6,471,703/. Looking to the prospective advantages likely to arise from increased traffic, they expect the undertaking will ultimately pay a dividend of six per cent. per annum. CALEDONIAN. An extraordinary meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Euston Hotel, Euston-square, to con sider and determine as to entering into a joint arrange. ment with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company, for leasing or purchasing and for working the Scottish Mid land Junction Railway, and also as to the modification of an agreement entered into by the directors with the Scottish Central and Dundee, Perth, and Aberdeen Companies, admitting the Edinburgh and Glasgow Com pany as a party to the arrangements. Mr. J. J. Hope Johnstone was in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said, that at present their arrange ments for carrying goods and minerals were in a very imperfect state, and, for the want of sufficient locomotive power, they were obliged to decline undertaking the con veyance of all that presented itself, although they were making every effort to remedy the evil. The traffic in pas sengers was satisfactory. They were placed in a difficult position in coming before them to sanction guarantees, because it required time to develope the traffic; their line being only open a short time, their traffic appeared to disadvantage, and by no means indicated the capabilities of the line. He had ascertained that a traffie of 11,0001. per week would enable them to pay their guarantees and 5 per cent. on the share capital of the company. He thought their prospects were of an encouraging nature, and he hoped they would have an ample return for the money invested. Having adverted to the advantages of the guaranteed lines in securing traffic to the trunk lino of the Caledonian, he stated that traffic arrangements had been entered into with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company on fair and equitable terms to both parties. The traffic on the Scottish Midland was chiefly agricul tural, and, when developed, he was satisfied it would cover their engagements. With regard to the constitution of the direction, they would be glad to afford the English shareholders an opportunity of being represented at their board; one of their body had placed a vacancy at their disposal, and when there were other vacancies they would endeavour to fill them up by selecting men of business habits from amongst the English shareholders; but he did not agree with the opinion which had been expressed by some of the shareholders, that one-half the directors should be resident in England. There were a great many details which required the constant attention of the directors on the spot. They would be happy to hold their future meetings in London, Liverpool, or elsewhere,„ whichever place might happen to be most convenient to the great body of the shareholders. He concluded by moving a resolution to the effect that the directors be authorised to enter into an arrangement with the directors of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Com pany conferring on the latter a joint interest in leasing and working the Scottish Central and the Dundee, Perth, and Aberdeen Railways. Mr. Mason' said he represented four or five parties who held 1,000 original shares; he thought that the shareholders should have more time given them for the consideration of the resolution; and moved an amend ment to the effect, that the question regarding the now guaranteed lines be referred to a committee of share ho, at ,e circulated e n t d ai nm t g h o, ant at t t s the w e ht f hi u ce r h t h tehrec proprietorsorne s p i o d r e t r a bo t e i f o n pt of hoes t pe t o h onm e e m r d e it p to o t e r ne t fu would be presented. Mr. Bow DEN seconded the amendment. The Right Hon. F. MAULE said the proposition indi cated nothing more nor less than a want of confidence in the directors.—(" No, no.") At considerable length he defended the acts of the Board, and maintained that the exertions of the directors had been always directed to promote the best interests of the company. Mr. CAMPBELL thought that a guarantee of three or four per cent. was quite as much as they ought to under take in these times. After some observations from various other share holders, The amendment was put and negatived, the show of hands being in favour of the original motion. A poll was demanded and scrutineers appointed. When all the votes had been taken, the CHAIRMAN proceeded to dispose of the remaining resolution, which was to authorise the directors of this company, along with the directors of the Edinburgh and Glasgow, to enter into an arrangement for leasing and working the Scottish Midland Railway. The CHAIRMAN put the resolution, which was seconded by Mr. HINDE. The motion having been - put, there appeared, includ ing the directors, 53 in favour of it, and 47 against it. A poll was demanded, and the result was in favour of the directors, but, owing to a dispute with regard to some of the votes, the exact number was not given. YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK. The York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway Company have given the usual notice required by Parliament of their intention to apply during the ensuing session for an Act giving the company power to construct a branch railway from the Beal station, near Berwick, to Bar moor, a distance of about eight miles, through a rich agricultural district, abounding in the higher regions with lime and other mineral produce; and likewise a branch from a point of the main line near Lesbury to Alnmouth, a small port on the coast of Northumberland, whence the principal portion of the agricultural produce of the district is shipped ibr distant markets. It is in tended to take power in .the same Act to construct a branch from a point on the main line a little west of Argyle -street to the Quay at Newcastle, and to abandon a project of the same kind for which power was ob tained by the Newcastle and Shields Railway Company in 1845, previous to its amalgamation with the York, Newcastle, and Berwick. It is also proposed to apply for an extension of the time for constructing the Blyth branch, and part of the Thirsk and Mahon branch; for power to alter, vary, or increase the tolls authorised to be taken by the Newcastle and Berwick Act of 1845; to subscribe towards the construction of the Sunder land Docks, and to hold shares in that undertaking; and to raise additional capital for these several pur poses.

S UN7 NOVEMBER 11, 1848. IRELAND. JOHN MARTIN IN ERROR v. THE QUEEN. DUBLIN, Nov. 10.—Yesterday being the day named for bringing up Mr. John Martin, to assign errors, the Court of Queen's Bench was crowded at an eat ly hour by the political friends of the prisoner. He was brought from Richmond Bridewell in a covered car, accompanied by Messrs. Marques and Young, two officers of the es tablishment. There was no escort or guard witn the car, but a number of policeman were stationed at the entrance to the Queen's Bench, and at other points in and about the Four Courts. Mr. Martin was placed at the side bar, Mr. Marques, the keeper of the Bridewell, being seated beside him. As might be supposed, Mr. Martin's long imprisonment was not without its effect upon him. He seemed to be somewhat paler and thinner than when on his trial ; but his manner or bearing was in no way altered. He was cordially greeted by several friends in Court, among others, by a number of the gentlemen of the bar, including Mr. Butt, Q.C., his able and eloquent advocate, who warmly shook hands w ith him. The court was densely thronged by barristers and others, including a number of ladies. The Attorney-General, Mr. Smyly, and Mr. Perrin, appeared for the Crown ; and Mr. Butt, Q.C., Mr. Holmes, Sir Colman O'Loghlen, and Mr. John O'Hagan, for Mr, Martin. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL having been called upon by the Court, stated that Mr. Martin was brought to the bar for the purpose of assigning errors, and if the Court pleased he would then call upon Mr. Martin to do so. The Clerk of the Crown then read the return made by the Governor of Richmond Bridewell to the writ of habeas corpus. The return stated that Mr. Martin was in his custody under sentence of transportation, passed by her Majesty's Judges at a commission of Oyer and Te rminpr. Sir COLMAN OTOGRLEN—We have assigned the er rors, and are ready to hand them in. Sir Colman then handed in a sheet of parchment containing the errors as signed. Clerk of the Crown—Does the Crown desire to have the errors read? ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Either that or let me look at them. The document was then handed to the Attorney- General, who having perused it, returned it to the Clerk of the Crown, together with a joinder in error. ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Now, my Lords, having joined in error, I have to apply to your Lordships to fix a day for the argument in the case. The books are ready for delivery, or will be in the course of the day. CHIEF JUSTICE - What day would you say, Mr. Attorney? ATTORNEY-GENERAL - Monday, if your Lordships please. Clerk of the Crown—Are the opposite party to join in the expense of making up the books? AT I'ORNEY- GENERXL-:-What is the usual course? CHIEF JUSTICE—Is there on the other side any objec tion to fixing Monday for the argument? Mr. HoLmEs—There is no objection. CHIEF JUSTICE—Very well, then, say Monday. Mr. IlimmEs—As to the expense, I don't know that in Crown cases it is the practice for the defendant to join in the expense. Sir COLMAN O'LoortLEN said, that in Mr. Mitchel's case, and also in Lynch and Conway's case, the Crown made up the books themselves. He understood from Mr. Curran that in all such cases in which he was con cerned, the Crown always did so. In fact that appeared to be the practice of the Court. Mr. Kemmis—lt is not the practice. We only pay for our own books. ATTORNEY- GENERAL—I don't know what the prac tise is; but Mr. Bourne must know it. Sir COL➢fAN O'LOGHLEN observed : that in O'Connell's case also the Crown made up the books. Mr. Bourne said, that in Gray's case the Crown made up the books, but he got leave to sue in forma pauperis. Sir COLMAN OTOGHLEN—But in O'Connell's or Mitchel's case, the parties did not sue in forma pauperis. Mr. NAPIER, Q.C., observed that, in the case alluded to by the Crown, the party did not come before the Court on a writ of error, but on a motion in arrest of judgment. ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Are you in this case, Mr. Napier? (Mr. Napier is retained in the writ of error case, for Mr. W. S. O'Brien, but not for Mr. Martin.) Mr. SaSYLY—The Clerk of the Crown, who receives the fee, must know what the practice is. Sir COLMAN CYLOGHLEN—In the last case in this court, that of Mr. Mitchel, the Crown made up the books themselves, and I submit that the same course should be followed now. Mr. Justice PERRIN—Is there may rule of court on the subject? Clerk of the Crown—No, my Lord. When there are no fees, the party sues in forma pauperis. CHIEF JUSTICE—Let Monday be fixed for the argu ment, and let this matter be mentioned again. In the meantime inquiry can be made as to what is the practice in such case 3. Mr. Martin was then removed from court, placed in a covered car, and conveyed to Richmond Bridewell. The car was escorted to the bridewoll by seven mounted policemen. Shortly befoie the rising of the Court, the ATTORNEY GENERAL came in, and addressing their Lordships, said that, strictly speaking, the plaintiff in error would be bound to pay a portion of the expenses; but in conse quence of the four-day rule, and as the Court had fixed Thursday for the adjournment, no question would be raised relative to the expenses. The Crown would fur nish the books, if their Lordships pleased. Cuur JUSTICE—Very well; but is this to bo the rule in all similar cases? ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Oh, no, my Lord; we don't intend to establish a precedent in this matter, but merely to forward the business of the court. We won't ask the ether party to pay for the books. The subject then dropped. The following is a copy of the document handed in by Sir Colman O'Loghlen, on the part of Mr. Martin, set ting out the errors alluded to:—" And now, that is to say, on Thursday, the 9th of November, in this same term, comes the said John Martin, into the court here, of our Lady the Queen, before the Queen herself in his own proper person, in the custody of the keeper of her Majesty's prison, called Richmond General Penitentiary, on the South Circular-road, by virtue of a writ of habeas corpus duly issued in that behalf, and immediately says, that in the record and proceedings aforesaid, and also in the giving the judgment aforesaid, there is a manifest error in this, to wit, that by the record aforesaid it ap pears that judgment was given upon the record afore said, for our said Lady the Queen, whereas by the laws of this realm judgment ought to have been given thereupon for the said John Martin, and against our said Lady the Queen, and, therefore, in that, there is manifest error. There is error in this, to wit, that it does not appear by the record aforesaid that the jurors aforesaid, by whom the said indictment was found, a true bill was sworn by, before, or in the presence of the com missioners and justices of our said Lady the Queen, in said record mentioned, or any of them, or by, before, or in the presence of any court, commissioners, justices, or other person or persons empowered in that behalf, to swear said jurors, or administer to them an oath; and, therefore, in that there is manifest error. There is also error in this, to wit, that it does not appear by the record aforesaid, when or where the jurors aforesaid, who found said indictment a true bill, were sworn as jurors, or that they were sworn or charged to inquire for or on behalf of our said Lady the Queen, and the body of the said county of the city of Dublin, in manner by law required; and, therefore, in that there is manifest error. There is also error in this, to wit, that it does not appear by the record aforesaid, that the jurors aforesaid, who found the said indictment a true bill, had any jurisdiction to find the said indictment a true bill, and, therefore, in that there is manifest error. There is error also in this, to wit, that it does not appear by the record afore said, that the said indictment was found a true bill by twelve good and lawful men of the body of the county of the city of Dublin, as in that behalf is required by law; and, therefore, in that there is manifest error. There is error also in this, to wit, that it appears by the record aforesaid, that judgment was given for our said Lady the Queen, against the said John Martin, upon each and every of the counts of the said indictment, whereas judgment should have been given on each and every of the said counts for the said Jahn Martin and against our said Lady the Queen, inasmuch as each and every of the said counts in the indictment is bad in point of law, and, therefore, in that there is manifest error.

" JOHN MARTIN. " COLMAN M. O'LOGHLEN." of the Freeman as being dangerously ill in Newgate. An application for his release, with medical certificates, has been forwarded to Government, and it is hoped that there will be, in this gentleman's case, a prompt exercise of humanity. The medical men declare that it is impos sible that he can recover if not immediately removed from the damp walls of Newgate. The State prisoners who remain in this prison are— Messrs. Charles Gavan Duffy, Francis Hanvey, Dr. William M . Carron. John Lawless, James Bergin (of New York), Dr. Charles Henry West, Cornelius R. Mahony, James Doyle, Timothy Sexton, John Martin Burke, Richard Franks Ryan (of Cincinnati), Eugene Martin, James Francis Lalor, James Klienna, Edward Trouton, and John Evans. Several of them have suffered seriously in health from the dampness of their prison. Mr. Kevin FL O'Doherty was removed, within half an hour after bis recent sen tence, to a single cell. He appears to remain in good health. Dr. West was removed to the hospital part of the prison, at his own request, on account of the air. The Bailingarry men are entirely neglected. The other state prisoners, with the exception of Messrs. Bergin and Ryan, the Americans, have relatives and friends in Dublin ; and, from their means, have cheer fully extended some occasional comforts to their less fortunate fellow-prisoners from Tipperary. Excepting such slight aid, the world seems to have entirely for gotten these poor men, who have large suffering families. In 1843 they would have been feasted on the best the land could afford. Must these humble men, so far from home, remain longer without friends ? Where there is a will there is always a way. They are indus trious, sober men, and desire to emigrate to America if permitted. JOHN MITEHEL.—There is no truth in the story go ing the round of the journals, from the Caledonian Mer cury, that John Mitchell is permitted to walk about the quays at Bermuda, and only obliged to wear the con vict dress once a month, when inspected by the Go vernor. A letter has recently been received by Mit chel's family, in which he states that, owing to his wretched state of health, he is exempt from manual labour ; but that he is compelled to undertake the most menial and degrading occupations. In short, he is the servant of the Hospital Department of the hulk, and, as such, life is a weighty burden to him. ROBBERY OF 460/. BY A SERVANT.-011 Thursday last a servant girl, named Dorah Condall, who resided with a lady named Mrs. Gore, of 15, Stephen's-green, ran away from her mistress, taking with her a sum of 4601. in bank notes. The girl went to the shop of a chandler, in Moore-street, where she was acquainted with a porter, named Brennan, and said to him, " I have plenty of money now ; I am going to America, and if you come I will take you ; if you refuse, I will take the first man I meet in the street." Brennan went with her, and both parties sailed that evening for Liverpool. The police were not informed of the facts until Saturday evening, when Craven, of the detective force, was put on the scent. He, however, came too late, as it was dis covered that the fugitives had sailed on Saturday morn • ing from Liverpool, by the royal mail steamer for Hali fax, to America, having previously paid 40/. a piece for their passage, so that at present they are out of the reach of the officers of justice. RU➢fOURED DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF LIMERICK. —There is no truth in the rumoured death of the Bishop of Limerick. His Lordship is in very indifferent health, but there is no immediate danger. PAUPERISM.—On the 7th of November, 1846, there were 4,075 paupers in the Cork Union-workhouse. On the 7th November, 1847, there were 2,693, being a de • crease of 1,382, whilst on the 7th November this year the number was 4,168, being an increase of 93 over 1846, and of 1,475 over that day of last year. It ap pears by the last report of the Poor-law Commissioners, dated Ist of May, 1848, that the maximum number of paupers at any one time in the workhouses of Ireland was 116,321 on the 27th of February, 1847, from which period to the 10th of April, the number had gradually declined to 104,455, while the rate of mortality had con tinued to increase. Crry GRAND JIIRY.—The following deputation from the Grand Jury waited on Sir William Somerville yes terday, at four o'clock, relative to the subject matter of the subjoined resolution, concerning which they made strong representations:—R. W. Law, Esq., foreman ; J. Studdert, Esq., J. Wisdom, Esq., Codd, Esq., Caldwell, Esq., Deane, Esq. They were accompa nied by E. Grogan, Esq., M.P.:— " Resolved—That the deputation to wait upon Sir Wm. Somerville this day be instructed to represent to him, on the part of the Grand Jury, their unanimous and strong conviction, that the vacancy, caused by the death of one of the clerks of the peace for the city of Dublin, ought not to be filled up, as they are of opinion that the duties of the office can be efficiently performed by one person, and that person ought to be paid by a fixed salary, the amount of which the jury are not at present prepared to recommend, as it would require considerable investiga tion in order to ascertain what the justice of the case would require for the present officer, and also to affix a salary for his successor. The jury have in view, in this representation, the diminution of taxation on the citizens of Dublin." ROYAL MILITARY ACADEMY.—The Lieutenant- Governor, Major-General Parker, C. 8., has caused cir culars to be forwarded to each of the gentlemen cadets of the theoretical class at the Royal Military Academy, extending the leave which was granted to them about six weeks ago, on the appearance of scarlatina, to the usual period after the Christmas vacation. Their again assembling at the academy on Woolwich-common, on Monday next, is consequently dispensed with, but they are strictly enjoined to continue their studies at home, or wherever they may be located, to enable them to pass the examination, which will be immediately held on their joining the Royal Military Academy, early in 1849. The gentlemen cadets of the practical class, studying in the Royal Arsenal, have all enjoyed good health, and as no interruption has taken place in their course of study, they will shortly be examined previous to obtaining com missions in. the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers. THE PORTRAIT OF POPE, THE POET..--Sir Robert Peel has, we learn, just purchased from Mr. Farrer, the portrait of Alexander Pope, to be placed as a pendant to that of Dr. Johnson, which is so conspicuous a f e ature in his collection at W hitehall-gardens.!

The portrait of Wil liam Pitt, Earl of Chatham, painted by Prince Hoare, has also been purchased from Mr. Farrer, by the same distinguished collector, to occupy a position in his gallery of celebrated characters at Tamworth. Both these pictures were recently in the possession of the Duke of Buckingham at Stowe.—Athenmum.

JENNY `LIND AT SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY. — This distinguished and inimitable vocalist gave the good folks of Southampton an opportunity yesterday of wit nessing her astonishint , powers. The concert took place in the Royal Victoria ° Assembly Rooms, and such was the anxiety to hear the Queen of Song that immediately the announcement of her coming was made, tickets for reserved seats were secured at a guinea and a half each, by families from the town and neighbourhood. The roma was full, although not inconveniently crowded, there being between 600 and 700 people present. Jenny was in excellent voice, and completely electrified those who bad not previously had an opportunity of hearing her. She was assisted by Signor F. Lablache, Signor Belletti, and a most efficient orchestra. Altogether it was one of the richest treats the inhabitants of South ampton have had for years. FIEL—A tremendous fire broke out about two o'clock on Tuesday morning, in the farm-yard of Mr. Joseph Duke, of I)awlish Farm, near Chard, which speedily destroyed five large wheat mows, 200 bushels of wheat thrashed, and 100 bushels of barley thrashed, in the barn, a great quantity of mangold wurzel, one wax , - gon, one thrashing machine, two winnowing machines, and other property, arneunting in value to nearly 1,0001., besides buildin gs cons i st i ng o f one small barn, stalls, linhays, &c., and oue very strong superior built barn, 120 feet in length, with every necessary convenience. One of our town engines, with the firemen and a good supply of hands, hastened to the scene of destruction; and there being a good supply of water, and the wind blowing in a favourable direction, they were enabled to save a great number of wheat, besn, and wood mows, stables and other buildings on one side, and the dwelling house, a number of stalls, outhouses, &e., on the other. A granary, with a quantity of grain, which stood close to the mow were it as supposed the fire hewn, was also preserved. Mr. Duke is insured. There are good rea sons for supposing that it was the act of an incendiary; but as an investigation is going on, we forbear at present from making any further remark.—Sherborne Journal.

Cobb, jun., and Miss Jane Swin ford, the prisoner was committed to Dover gaol to take his trial at the next sessions on a charge of " ob taining the sum of 321. and some shillings under false pretences." Mr. Horn, who appeared for the prisoner, made a forcible appeal to the bench, hoping they would take sureties to a large amount for his ap pearance when required, and which, Mr. Horn added, would save the trouble and expense of applying to a judge at chambers. The Chairman requested to know what was the amount of bail offered ? Mr. Horn replied, four in 1004 each, and the prisoner in 2501. The bench retired to consider of this matter, and upon their return the Chairman said they had agreed not to accept bail. Mr. Mercer, who appeared for the prosecution, said he had other cases to bring against the prisoner, but was not yet prepared so to do; and added that it was not the intention of the trustees (as currently reported) to shirk the matter. F. W. Cobb, Esq., and three other trustees having been bound over to prosecute, and Mr, W.:Cobb, jun., and Miss Jane Swinford to appear at the trial, the prisoner, who never looked up, was removed in safe custody.—Kentish Observer. THE MARINE SOCIETY.—On Thursday a meeting of the committee of management and subscribers of the above society was held at the offices of the institution, in Bishopsgate-street Without, for general business. The report for the past quarter stated that during that period twenty boys had been apprenticed to the India Company's service, and fifty seven into the merchant's; twenty, who had served upwards of twelve months of their apprenticeship satisfactorily, had been re warded. Since the foundation of the society, in 11756, 50,000 boys have thus been provided for. :The Iphigenia frigate has for some years past (been the depot for the boys; but, baying been considered unfit for further duty, the Lords of the Admiralty have given for the use of the society the frigate Venus, of 42 guns, which is now the receptacle of the boys, lying off Charlton Pier,Wool wich. ASSISTANCE TO VESSELS IN PORT.--Application havinr , been made to the Lords of the Treasury, request ing the admission to entry, for home use, of certain arti cles which had arrived at one of the outports, in a vessel belonging to Hamburgh, from the west coast of Africa, with the view of enabling the master of the vessel to raise money for the purpose of purchasing necessaries during his detention in this country, their Lordships have caused an intimation to be given to the proper authori ties, through one of their secretaries, that they granted their authority for the admission to entry of the articles in question, with the view of being disposed of for the purpose stated. A LOCOMOTIVE ACTING AS A BATTERING RAI.— Last week, on the premises of Mr. Parkinson, cabinet maker, Wellington-street, while two joiners were at work in one of the low rooms, and three bricklayers on the roof, repairing the damage which had been occasioned by the recent fire, a railway tender came through the walls (which adjoin the engine-house of the railway station). The premises of Mr. Parkinson occupy a long narrow slip of land, about 16 or 18 feet wide, and some 60 feet deep, bounded on three sides by the premises of the railway company. The tender knocked down a stack of chimneys, and the east and west walls of four rooms. We understand that the accident occurred through the engine-driver having given his engine sufficient force to enter the shed, and that he had not duly considered some empty tenders which were standing on the same line.— Hull Advertiser. BROMPTON.—TIOSPITAL FOE CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF THE CH - EST.—Yesterday evening the board of management met for the transaction of general busi ne3s, &c.; Captain Lyon in the chair.

Immediately the weather permits, 'the extension of the building will be proceeded with. 'The proposed new chapel is extremely essential, inasmuch that when eff,cted a large ward will become imme diately available to some of the very many distressing cases now awaiting admission to the hospital. The number of out-patients yesterday exceeded 150. Thanks having been voted to the worthy chairman, the board adjourned. . EXHUMED TOAD.—About three weeks since, Mr. J. Thomas having occasion to cut a very ancient oak, in the parish of St. Wenn, fur the purpose of making a new axle to his water-machine wheel, discovered, at about six inches above the roots, a large toad in the very heart of the tree, being enclosed on every side. It was alive, and there can scarcely be any doubt of it having con tinued in the same solitary abode for the last 200 ye ars , without either food or air.— West Briton. OU ULAR. V.. SOIL FRIDAY.
